EIRE IN NEW YORK—TERRIBLE RU MORS OF LOSS OF LIFE. New. York, Dec. 20—A fire occur red in Greenfield's candy establish ment, No. 03, Barclay street. There are wild rumors, one saying, out of two hundred hoys and girls employed only twenty escaped. Latsr. 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 -ruins. At Pori •■non III, Now Hampshire.

A ItOXKKY IX COURT. Hon- He Behoved when Arraigned fur BIBug n Woman's Finger. -Veil* York Sun.] .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.

Mrs. Hanks, Roxy’s well-to- do aunt, held fortli to Jemima upon the admirable ability of the young man, and his great goodness and self- sacrifice in "layingall his advantages of talent, und wealth, und prospects at the foot of the cross.” I tell what I think, Henriette,” replied Jemima, witli her customary freedom. “I think that’s all fol-de- rol and twuddle-ile-dee.” Here she 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 agement. Do you think it’s secli u greut tiling to he Colonel Bonainy’s son and a member of the Injeanny Legislates that God must feel mighti ly obleeged to Murk Bonamy fer bein’ so kind as to let him save his immortal soul ? Now, I don’t,” and here Hhe begun to shove her iron again. "You ull ’ll spile Murk by settin’ him up on a spinaele of the temple,” she added, us she paused u moment to stretch out a shirt sleeve, preparatory to ironing it. "Jemima,” said Mrs. Hanks, “R’h wicked to talk that way. You ure always making fun Of the gospel. I’m sure Murk’s very humble. He calls himself the chief of sinners.” “I s’pose lie does. That's nice to set himself up alongside of Paul and say: ‘See, Paul and me was both great sin ners.’ That mnkes you think lie's u-goin to lie like Paul in preachin’. But, s’pose one of tlie brethren— Brother Dale, now—was to say: ‘Brother Bonamy, you're tlie biggest sinner in town.

And how much for a diamond pin—one most as big as a beun?” - "Well, about three hundred dol lars." "Three hundred’ll take it, will they?" "Yes." "Thanks,” said the boy, m he backed out. He sat down with Ids hack to the wall, figured with a pen cil on the margin of one of his papers, and presently soliliquized: "Three hundred for the pin und sixty more for the watch—Hint’s three hundred and sixty.

Her record of 2:21 in harness, 2:19] to saddle, is not tlie full measure of her speed. It is rumored that Mr. Bon ner lias purchased May Bird asa mute for Music. Tliis is probably untrue.
