A NEW YORK HORROR—EXPLOSION
AND FIVE STORY BRICK BUILD
ING FALLG—KAWT “KILLED AND
WOUNDED.
New York, December 20.—An ex
plosion at ten minutes past five
o’clock this afternoon occurred In the
immense candy manufactory of
Greenfield & Htrauss, at 03 Barclay
street, which extends in the shape of
au L to College Place. The holler
was under the sidewalk on the Barc
lay street side when it burst, tearing
away the entire front and scattering
the wreck in all directions. Over 150
girls were employed at the time in
the building. The walls fell a few
minutes after the explosion. A po
liceman on duty near the building
says lie saw the front of the building,
five stories high, fall into the street.
Tlie street was tilled witli screaming
iieople. There were about two
hundred at work. I rushed to
the police station, gave the fire
olami. Several girls jumped from
the top of the building into the fire.
Several boys were blown through the
roof. Fifty-six wounded and one
dead were reported at the Chambers’
Street Hospital at 0:45 o’clock. A
number were also sent to Bellevue
and other hospitals. It is estimated
the wounded reached 125 of the 275
employed in the factory. Few es
caped uninjured. The number of
the dead is uncertain, and must re
main so until tlie wreck is cleared
away. The fire was under control at
0:30, and by 0:45 only a dense smoke
surrounded the ruins.
LATEST DETAILS.
,Spedal to Eiujuirer-Slin.]
New Yokk, December 20.—Mr.
Greenfield, the owner of the factory,
could give no idea how many were
in the building, hut he thoughtabout
110. Of these about 50 escaped by
the College Place entrance, and a
small number got out through the
skylights and walked over the roofs
an"d down the skylights of other
buildings. The book-keeper, who
was at tlie Barclay street side of tlie
building, was blown out through the
window to the street. He was bad
ly cut on the head. Several jumped
from the second story and escaped
with slight’ Injuries, the falling being
broken by policemen and citizens on
the sidewalk below. No fair estimate
of tlie loss of life can be given to
night. The parties employed in tlie
factory were principally young girls
and boys from 8 to 20 years of uge.
Owing to the approach of the holidays,
there was a double force employed,
one working during the day and tlie
other at night. Tlie force changed at
five o’clock and the fact of explosion
oecurringatten minutespast that hour
renders it still more diffcult to know
how many or who are the victims.
loss $100,000.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
New York, December 20.—The
loss of Greenfield is $100,000. No. 65
Barclay street was a frame building,
with a cigar store on the first floor,
tlie upper floors being occupied by
Col. French for the last thirty years.
Mr. French and family got out safe.
SEARCH FOR TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
• IN BONDS.
When French remembered having
left ten thousand dollars in United
States bonds in a book-case on the
second floor, Foreman Joe McGill, of
engine 32, and Roundman Cafl'ee, of
tlie It rat precinct police, volunteered
to go In for the bonds. The flumes
and smoke buratingoutofthehuilding,
they climbed on the awning and into
tlie window, secured a package of
papers and came out. The package
wus found not to be tlie bonds. A
second time they entered through the
flames and smoke and brought out
the bonds in safety.
Some gills had their hair burned
totally oft'their heads.
The greatest sacrifice of life was
among the girls employed In selling
and assorting und packing candies on
tlie first floor over tlie boiler. None
of those are known to have escaped.
The total loss is probably a quarter
of a million.
There must lie fifty bodies in the

.On the arraignment of tlie prison
ers in tlie Tombs Police Court yester
day morning, u monkey approached
tlie bar with the rest, lie wore a
scarlet coat and a velvet cap trimmed
with gilt lace. He pulled nurd at tlie
string by which au Italian held him,
and, being led in front of the bench,
climbed nimbly to the railing that
separates prisoners from tlie presid
ing magistrate. Steadying himself
on that perch by encircling the iron
with his tail, he turned his wry face
toward Justice Flammer, chattered
olubly, pulled oft - his cap, and bowed
with profound gravity. The gray
hair bristled thick on tlie top of his
head, and his face was wrinkled, so
that he looked astonishingly like a
very small and very old man.
"Whut Is this?" Justice Flaunner
asked. ,
"A prisoner,” replied offloer Hat
ton. "His name is Jimmy Dilleo. I
arrested him for assaulting Marc
Shea."
“A monkey arrested for assault!”
the justice exclaimed.
Jimmy blinked his eyes, showed
his teeth and bowed a good many
times, as though the proceeding, us
he viewed it, was very funny, in
deed.
"Where is the cimiplainunt?" the
Justice asked.
Mary Shea stepped forward. She
took her right forefinger out of a
handkerchief and showed that it was
lacerated. She said that she was a
neighbor of Jimmy in Bottle ulley,
that notorious adjunct of Mulberry
street; that she kindly offered him a
stick of candy ; that "lie grabbed it
greedily and bit her finger.
Jimmy sut on tlie railing with his
head on one side und constantly tak
ing off his cap and putting it on again,
as though successively forgetting ami
remembering that he was in a court
of justice.
"What do you think ought to be
done with Jimmy?” asked Justice
Flammer.
“Why, sir,” Mrs. Shea answered,
‘T think he ought to he locked up.”
“But we can’t imprison a monkey,
you know. Your remedy is to bring
a civil suit against the owner for dam
ages.”
“And ain’t there any justice to he
had against tlie miserable brute?"
11loti’t know any law that makes
a monkey criminally liable for bit-
Sirs. Shea was exceedingly indig
nant, as she wrapped her hurt finger
in her handkerchief, she exclaimed:
“This Is a nice country for justice.”
C’asseo Dilleo, the owner of Jimmy,
said that the monkey was wildly
fond of candy, anil in his frantic de
light had unlntentionaly bitten Mrs.
Shea.
"He is discharged,” said tlie jus
tice.
Jimmy gleefully tried to climb up
the gas fixtures on the justice’s desk
and to sit on the glass globe. Then
he reached to shake hands witli Hts
Honor, hut, being repulsed, he
screamed loud and longlikc a hurrah,
took off liis cap several times in a
second, and bowed so low that his
feet slipped from tlie railing and lie
hung by Ids tail. His owner carried
him out of the room.

I tell what I think, Henriette,”
replied Jemima, witli her customary
freedom. “I think that’s all fol-de-

set her iron down with emphasis and
raised her reddened face from her
work, wiping tlie perspiration away
with her apron. “I think it’s all
nonsense for tlie brethren and sisters
to talk that way, just like us ef Murk
had conferred a awful favor on his
Creator in lending Him his encour

"Jemima,” said Mrs. Hanks, “R’h

“I s’pose lie does. That's nice to set

ners.’ That mnkes you think lie's

"Well, about three hundred dol

Nflienrk'* n»ndrak« Pill*
Will bo found to possess those qualities
•essary to the total eradication of all
lotiN attacks, prompt to start the se-
tioiis of the liver, and give a healthv
io to the entire system. Indeed, It
no ordinary discovery in medical
mice to have invented * a remedy for
these stubborn complaints, which de-
lop all the results produced by a
heretofore free use of calomel, a min-
ral justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to lie destructive in the
ixtremo to the human system. That
die properties of eertrin vegetables
•omprise all the virtues of calomel
without its in jurious tendencies, is now
m admitted fact, rendered indisputa
ble by scientific researches; and those
who use the Mandrake Pills will lie
fully satislied that the best medicines
e those provided by nature in the
inuioii herbs and roots of the lields.
These Pills open tiie bowels and Cor
el all bilious derangements without
salivation or any of the injurious
effects of calomel brother poisons. The
secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, as will be seen by the altered
color of the stools, and disappearing of
the sallow complexion und cleansing of
tiie tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany
each box of pills. Prepared only by
J. II. Xchcnck A Soil, at their principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets,
Philadelphia, and for sale by all drug
