The programme of the great Sangerfest,
today, includes little else thar grand con.
cert to night, which will be largely ins,ru-
mental. The orchestra will number about
one hundred pieces. The Rink, last night,
was excessively crowded and the extreme
heat of the weather operated greatly TO the
discomfort of the audience. The weather
is cooler this morning and there are indica
lions of storm.

New YORK, June l9.-Fire engine No 9
exploded about nine O'Clock last night in
front Of the Bowery theatre. The occasion
Of engines being present was fire at SO
Bowery, which WAS Just extinguished when
the explosion took place. There were five
persons killed-all young men, under 20
years of age. Their names are not yet
known. One of them was blown from the
sidewalk into the doorway of the Bowery
theatre, some 20 feet. The explosion was
heard by the audience at the theatre who
rushed out to ascertain the cause.
The dead bodies were conveyed to the Tenth
Precinct Station House. The appearances
they presented was horrible in the extreme,
| some having their brains dashed out and
| others limbs torn from their trunks. The
| wounded viii number nearly forty. Many
are hurt only slightly. All the wounded but
one Mr.. F. Clark, of CONN., belong in
| this city. II is thought that three or four
men viii die of their injuries.
| The conclusion also nearly overturned a
| passing horse car, which was crowded with
| people. The engineer in charge was not a
competent person. Edward Roche, one of
the fremen wounded, states that he was
| about fixing the safety-valve, the spring of
which was broken, when the explosion oc-
CURED. The boiler fortunately exploded
| downward. The utmost excitement and
| CONSERVATION ensued in the vicinity of the
explosion during the night, but all is quiet
| this morning.
