DEATH IL TIE AII-TERRIBLE REPORTS
TREMENDOUS ExcITEMEST.--Early Saturday
morning, the whole or the wharf section OF our
city was thrown into violent state OF excite
ment, by the reports that there were several
thousand tons OF powder on the North Atlantic
wharf No one seemed TO know how mu IN pow
der there was; ST. said one hundred and twenty
Thousand tons, others seyenty.fve thousand,
others forty thousand, but all were agreed that
there were certainly not less than twenty thou.
sand TONS Property owners were naturally In
dignant that their property should be exposed to
destruction. The reports new about the city with
the rapidity that bricks, bodies; &C., woull have
done, II the aforesaid powder had gone or; and
the excitement rapidly increased, as did the dis.
tance OF q great many persons from the
vicinity OF the powder after they heard
the reports-of the amount stored on the
wharf. A visit to the so.caed dangerous spot
showed that on Monday last the steamship Victor,
bound from New Orleans to New York with a
cargo Of damaged rifle cartridge ammunition,
had put in here in distress with her rudder bro
ken. Permission was asked and given TO place
some Of the ammunition on the North Atlantic
wharf, alonsids Of which she lies, to tighten the
vessel, and several thousand boxes were there
placed. As the ammunition was damaged by
water there was no danger Of explosion, but some
one having mentioned that there was powder
there, the story was circulated and grew In size
until there was, according 20 report, enough pow
der to shatter the whole OF this and the adjoining
States, If 1t could have exploded. The vessel Is
now releadlng and will probably leave this after
noon-when the powder will certainly go on
However, the placing OF any powder on the
wharves is prohibited by an ordinance, w'ich
provides that all powder must be unoaded in the
stream and carried 20 the powder magazine up
the river.
1t Is but justice to state that great many fear
ed an explosion on the wharf among the vessels,
only because 1t might enable some one to get on
another "Casabianca" poem for juvenile declama-
tions, such as
The boy stood on the burning deck,
Eating peanuts by the peck;
His father called him. but ne would NOT go,
Because he loved the peanuts 30.
As there seems to be no use for another Casa
biaucar-the juvenile orators holding on to the old
one with deathleEs grasp-we trust that there
viii be no explosion.
