man and was also aware of the fact that
he hail a sLter living here.
Aft it making tliese discoveries th
work started in earnest. Tne negro led
the detectives a hot chase. This was
on account of the many reports which
reached their ea-a, anu each lime they
followed the trail, The dirac. clue
which led to the capiure of the man
was received by Mr. .Scarlett when he
secured a letter the murderer had writ

There is no doubt but that, Messrs.

The arresting officers were seen by a re

New York, Oot. 29.—Lower New
York city was startled soon afternoon
today by four terrific explosions in the
drug house of Tarrant & Cos. It is
fearsd the loss of life may reach 211, as
the building was crowded, and the ad
joining places, which were damaged,
contained many paople. A volume ot
smoke and debris was blown 300 feet
into the air by tbe fourth explosion,
which was tbs worst. The lithograph

lishment, oanght fire, and the flames
spread to tbe Irving bank and two
baijdings across the rtreef. The War
ren street, station of the Ninth c .enna
derated road, directly in frout of tbe
drug eetaWlfsbment, was completely
demcthjihctl, and a number of persons
standing upon'it was Wowd to the
street and reoeived rerious injuries. A
number of buildings in the rear of the

to death on the Warren street side of
the building. Policeman Galvin said
in bis belief not leas than 450 persons
would be found to have been killed

the suddenness of tbe explosions,
which made it impossible for anybody
to escape. The force of the explosion
wee heard and felt clear down to Wall

were smashed and people thrown to
the street, a distance of four blocks.
