MORE ABOUT THE FIRE OF FRIDAY NIGHT,
It now appears that the contractors with
the Federal Government for cleaning out
the Rockets reef are heavy losers by the
fire on the wharf Of Yuengling's brewery
on Friday night. The shed in which the
fire broke out was used as an office and re,
ceptacle Of apparatus and blasting material
hv Professor Klcbeck, General Barton, and
CAPTAIN McCorkle. The two gentlemen
first named lost all their account books,
bills, receipts, and other papers, besides q
drill, two complete suits Of diving, appGa-
rel, and numerous odds and ends. 10
these gentlemen belonged the nitro-gIIvce-.
rine which exploded. There were about
twenty pounds of this dangerous com
pound in the shed, and it is remarkable
fact that it did not explode until the build,
ing was nearly consumed. It'll not caused
to explode, we are told, by the application
or fire, but by conclusion or intense heat.
However this may be, when it did 90 OIL
it made terrific noise, aud the shock was
so great rs to break every window III the
brewery, and an iron pot in which some OF
the glycerine was deposited was shattered q
into thousand pieces. ..... &
