THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION.

This has not been determined yet and
il is doubtful even IT it ever will. Mr..
Mcbride foreman of the works, was in
one Of the burned buildings when the
explosion took place, but he knows moth
ing of The cause Of it, When lac heard
the first shocl, he ran TO a window to get
out, and was blown distance of thirty
feet His daughter is, we believe, among
the killed.
Paymastcr Bosworlh was also present,
engaged in paying off the hands, but he
is equally ignorant of the cause Of the
catastrophe. lie was good deal stun
ned, but escaped without serious injury

The fire had not yet been thoroughly
quenched, and a strong stream was being
thrown upon the ruins by one Of our
steam fire engines, while men carried
wafer to the scene of the disaster, and
laborcd uobly in putting out tho flames.
As the fire was got under, those engaged
in taking out The bodies extended their
operations until the heart of the largest
of the buildings was reached. At the
time we left several bodies had been
taken out swelling the number which
came undcrour notice altogether 10 forty
six This, however we do not consider
anything like the number lost, as at the
time of our leaving we counted at least
five additional bodies lying in the ruins
to which the workmcn were unable TO
get access on account of the heat How
many were under them no one can say.
THE EXTENT on THE CALAMITY.
This. as we have said, il would be diff
licult to determine Just now. We believe
that at least seventy lives were lost, and
the mortality may even exceed this, as
many who were taken out were SO badly
injured that their recovery is out of the
question. Altogether, the occurrence is
the most painful, by all odds, that has
ever happened here, and it has carried
death and dcsolaton into many q happy
household.
