EXPLOSION IN NEW ORLEANS.
Two Buildings Demolished and Seve
ral Persons Killed.
A terrible explosion occurred at New
Orleans in the grocery and shipeband
lery of Charles J. Salathe, Decatur
and Ursnline streets, opposite the
lower end of tho French market, en
tirely demolishing that and the ad
joining saloon, Fishermen’s exchange,
burying a number of people in the
debris, which at once took fire.
The force of the explosion was ter
rible. Drivers were hurled from ve
hicles, and wares on market stands
were blown to the four winds.'" The
explosion is thought to have been
caused by gun powder, twenty-five or
thirty pounds of which is always kept
on hand by Salathe for sale to hunters
and fishermen who mako headquarters
in the neighborhood of the French
market.
The following people aro known to
have been in two of the buildings at
tho time: Charles J. Salathe, wife,
baby and two children, Eddie aged 10,
and Lily aged 5 ; Eelix Regaud, bar
keeper, 18 years old; a boy who is a
messenger; Emile Boulet, proprietor,
and who slept over the saloon, and
who escaped, and Joseph Grimalde, a
frequenter of tho saloon, who is sup
posed to have been iu there at the
time; Constantine Itro, a fruit stand
keeper at the French market. Of these
bodies, Mr. and Mrs. Salathe, clasped
in each other’s arms, have been recov
ered, also their infant. Emile Boulet
and Constantine Itro were blown clear
out into the street, but not milch in
jured. The bodies of Felix Regaud
and Joseph Grimalde ore yet in the
ruins.
Eddie Salathe, aged 10, and Lily,
aged 5, slept in a rear room over the
grocery store and were saved. They
were bruised, but not seriously. It is
believed that many more people are
buried in the ruins besides the above
list.
