THE EXPLOSION OF THE ROCKET CART. - John
wilkins, the German driver Of the cart load of
rockets which exploded at the corner Of Royal and
Orleans streets during the Bell and Everett process
sion, the night Of the 81 inst, ia out again He
had been confined at his residence ever since We
saw him yesterday. His face and hands are much
disfgured; his body was badly hurt; altogether,
| his escape il most fortunate.
There were about 1870 rockets in the cart, coy
cred with blankets and damp rags, to prevent them
from accidentally igniting from the sparks of the
surrounding torches. Wilkins declares these rock
cts could not have ignited accidentally He asserts
that they were fred by man unknown to him,
but whom he will recognize if he sees again; one
of party CT three who wanted to ride in the cart
saying they belonged to the procession, but whom

larly had chair in his hand, and, throwing the
chair into the cart, he jumped in and seated him
self on the chair, talked in friendly manner to
Wilkins and his negro companion the drivers
seat and cracked jokes with his two friends, who
followed on behind the cart, holding to it.
The man sat down for about square and a
half. Looking around once wilkins aaw him have
his hand in his bosom in suspicious manner, and
then suspected him as no friend. In moment
AFTER the man jumped out of the cart and disap-
peared, and the terrific explosion took place.
The cart was that Of the Sixth Ward Rough and
Ready Club. Wilkins is willing to swear to all he
says, and, with his aid, efforts will be made to dis
cover the man whom he suspects.
