THE INQUEST OF THE EMMA MooRE
CAsE.--The discovery Of the body o.
Emma Moore, the young lady whose
sudden disappearance caused so great an
excitement in Rochester, has already
been mentioned. The Rochester papers
Of Thursday contain reports Of the cor.
oner's inquest. Miss Moore disappeared
in the night Of ofNovember 14th. She had
therefore been missing four months and
five days. Appearances indicate that
she had been all the time under water
in the mill race where the body was
found. But the manner and means oil
| her death are as great a mystery as ever.
At the time of The disappearance the
water was rather low, and has remained
so until within short time.
The EMMA Moore MysTEnY.-The
mystery in which the disappearance oil
Of this young woman has been involved,
was partially dissipatod by the discovery
Of her body. The following testimony
given before tho coroner may tend still
further to clear it up:
DR.. H. F. Montgomery sworn-I ex.
amined the dead body lying here before
the jury, with Drs. Reed and Avery we
first examined the body externally; found
the cuticle, hair, and nails already re-.
moved, or easily removable from the
maceration in the water; from these
facts concluded that the body must havo
been in the water four months; cannot
decide upon the exact time found the
tongue between the teeth one of the signs
of death from drowning; found no ex.
ternal signs of violence; opened the
chest and abdomen; from the long pc.
riod Of time since death, could not judge
from he appearance of the lungs and
heart anything as to the cause of death;
found the uterus Of the womb enlarged,
and extending as high or little higher
than the um blicus; on opening the womb
found female toetus or child, which
we judged from measurment and appear.
ance to be about six or seven months
old; placenta attached, and blood,
serum in the womb; do not think the
uterus had been opened before death by
any interference removed the scalp
and found it uninjured. Made no fur.
Iher examination, Did not open the
stomach; an examination Internally, af.
!er so long time would be Of no avail,
10 ascertain whether anything had been
laken to produce an abortion.

We learn from the New York Times
that the Pyrctechnic establishment oI
G. A. Lillendahl-whosc place Of bust.

Spruce streets, New York-which is sit.
uated at GIeenvilIe, Bergen Point, about
four miles south Of Jersey City, near the
Morris Canal, was blown up at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. One per.
son was killed, and seven men so Sc.
verely burned that some Of them will
probably die.
The building was about Is feet by
80 in size, and two stories high. 1t
blew up with loud report, and col.
umn Of smoke and dust, in which the
fragments Of the building mingled
The ruins instantly took fire; and it was
with great difficulty that those who came
TO the rescue could extricatc the injured
from the ruins alive. Water was
brought from the canal in pals, kegs,
&c., and the flames were extinguished.
Eight persons were taken out terribly
burned, and some Of them, it is feared,
cannot survive their injuries.
The following is correct list Of ev.
cry person in the building, at the time Of
the accident:
Henry Kinber, (boy,) killed.
Louis Korner, burned severely, (has
since died.)
Emil Brehm, burned severely.
Ferdinand Baur, burned severely.
Charles Kleine, burned severely.
Jacob Nicolay, burned severely.
Ferdinand Frundt, burned severely.
William Hitters, slightly burned.
Henry Gassman, slightly burned.
George Ochs, uninjured.
This man worked near the door, and
as soon as he saw the fire, ran out, but
in his fright closed the door after him,
to which cause may be attributed the
lamentable loss OF life and injuries to
the men.
The remains Of Henry Kleiber, lad
12 years Of age, were found within three
feet of the door, and burned to a crisp
His legs below the knees were entirely
contained
There were usually fourteen persons
at work in the building, but the moment
Of the catastrophe there were but teni
persons in it.
1t is not positively known how the ex.
plosion was caused, but it is stated that
the two boys, Kleibe and Jossman, and
Two other workmen, were striving at
