DISASTROUS EXPLOSION At FuRMAr's DGS-
TiLLERY-llORRlBLE DRATH OP An EN-
rIoYHE-Al out 3 o'clock Yesterday morning
an explosion and loss Of life took place a. Fur
man & Co. = Gate Pole, - disillcry, which oc-
cupies the block bounded Ivy 1t and I'd, North
4th and North 5th sta. The explosion took place
in an alcohol still situated at the northeast cor
neI Of the building. a column of flame shot
up into the sky, and tho report was so loud as
TO bc heard for great distance around, and to
awaken people from their slumhcrs. Such was
the force ofthe conclusion that portion Of the
wall on North ith street was demolished, and
the street il covered with bricks and half
turned imlIers
The man who was attending the still at the
time, ramed Frank league, must have been
almost instantly killed. The burning alcohol
bursting out and flooding the yard with sea Of
flames, must have covered him with fire, aud
Lis tormcnts though horrible, could not have
lasted over a minute. lie had apparently ran
about twelve or fifteen feet and then sunk in a
corner, n mere heap Of rceking cindrrs, the
head. ans and h,nds alone bearing a hidcous
senllarce Of h imanity. The head or rather
the skull for that was all that was left Of it,
was Charrtd ~ black rs coal, OILY relieved by
the ghasily white Of the staring eyes. As this
man was the only person who could have told
how the explosion happened, the origin will pro-
badly never be explained. There was a watch
man in the building at the time and ano'he 7
man named John Adams, attending a whiskey
still. but both escaped without injury.
The burning alcohol pouring out of the ex-
plodcd still, flooded the fre-room and yl'd, set
fire TO tho surrounding tubs and woed wo:k, and
cid great deal of damage TO the interior OF the
building. Six tubs were burnt, worth from six
20 twelve hundred dollars each; two copper ,ils
were destroyed, valued at from twenty five hun.
drcd to three thousand dollars each. Altogether,
the loss will amount TO from fifteen to twenty
| thousand dollars The loss will probably be co
| vcred by insurance as the establishment was in
sured for small sums in large number Of New
| York and Williamsburgh insurance comp iniee
| The fire companies were promptly on the ground
| and worked most indefatipably.
| A similar explosion occurred at this same dis
tillery some eighteen months ago, by whcl
| three persons lost their lives.
While the members Of Continental Hose Co
No. 6, were absent at the fire, their house wa
entered by some contemplate thief, and a gol
watch, worth s75, and sl5 in money were stola
from the clothes Of the Foreman, Mr.. Samue

IT is understood that although Government
has commenced the exchange Of prisoners it
win hardly be possible to rescue this brave oili-
Ger from the death to which he is fastening, it
being asserted, among his friends, that his pre-
disposition to consumption, aided by incarcara
tion in not healthy jail, are tending rapidly to
decline which must ere long prove fatal.
Ard his release cannot be accomplished unless
by some extraordinary exchange Of rebel
officials, for the Colonel is held as hostage for
the pirate Smith, in Philadelphia, and this pi-
rate, who has been tried without the Jury being
able to agree on a verdict, will hardly be al
lowed to leave his prison un-scathed. 1t is to
be hoped that the Government will otherwise
take the case earnestly in hand, and return ihe
Colonel to his family AID many friends, before
IL becomes too late.
