EIRE, EXPLOSION, AND Loss OF LIFr.-Between !
and O'Clock Saturday night fire broke out
en- bOari the schooner CeTnea of New. Bedford Conn
which resulted 10 tho destruction OF large amount OF
property the death Of man. and the serious injury
ef two others. The vessel was lying at the Paterson
dock foot Of Wayne street, adjoining the depot Of the
&ew-Jersey Railroad and was loaded with 800 barrels
sfkerOseneo An explosion occurred in the hold Of the
schooner, and she was almost instantly enveoped in
nsmes, which rapidly spread to the DOCK setting fire
10 three cars loaded with wheat. The shed covering
che DOCK and the cars with their contents were com.
pletely Destroyed and the vessel was burned to the
waters edge.
The Fire Department Of Jerrey City, assisted by
three companies from New-York, made every effort
90 stop the progress of the FIRE. and is believed that
but for their exerOns the depot of the New.Jersey
railroad would have been destroyed. The FIRE ragged
with great violence until nearly 10 o'clock and at
many tmes serious conhsgstion seemed imminent.
At the time Of the the explosion there were three
persons on board tie schooner. Enos Douglass, the
eward, r ank 6ivey and boy named Emanuel,
6ieen yess of age. They were all seriously injured
ID only escaped from the burning vessel by jumping
overheard when they were rescued by the hands
attached to the JerseyCity ferry. They were taken
% the Aims House and placed in charge Of Mr..
Whitley, the superint ndent of that institution. Med
Zeal attendance was promptly procured and the In
iured persons received every attention
At o'clock yesterday morning, Douglass died from
che effects Of his injuries, but the other two is be-
,ieved are not fatally injured. Coroner Gsfney held
m inquest on the body of Douglass, but could not
elicit any information 20 tho origin of the fire. Itis
believed 10 have resulted from spontaneous combus.
ton. The report that deceased went into tho hold Of
the vefse with lighted candle s not only highly im
probable but is denied in the most positive by
6Avey. The verdict of the CoronePs jury WIS III +
tbe deceased came 10 Lis death from explosion
board the schooner Cornea and from the effect Of in
ternal burns Douglass leaves wife and two chill
sien. re ident in New-Bedford.
The total loss caused by the ere will probably exc
ceed $50 600. The schooner belonged to the Captain
George Crapo bic loss s $1,000 covered by insurance.
Tire cargo belonged to Richardson & Co. Of New
York; loss $1,000; insurance. The destroyed
