planned Of bad stuff in his coffee, that

covered. Captain Halls journal was
burnt, aud from the testimony 1t ap-
pears that Captain Buddington ex-
pressed himself as being glad 1t was
burned, stating that the contents were
much against him and that be got
Captain Hall to burn them.

P. NJ, to-day at the store OF Harsh Bros,
No. 40 Dey street, dealers in arms and
1t appears that Nathan
Harsh, one of the firm, with his three
sons, whose names are Harry Harsh,
Forrest Harsh and Griffith Harsh, and
a porter named Charles Leonard, who
were engaged in breaking up old metal
lie cartridges when an explosion oc-
CURED from some cause not readily ex-
planned. The explosion was OF such q
force that Forrest and Griffith Harsh
were blown out OF the front window
into the street. The skylight was blown
of the ceiling, and the walls cracked
and the building otherwise injured.
The occupants OF the upper story and
basement fed in terror. The injured
men were taken to the 9th precinct
station house. Griffith Harsh and
Charles Leonard are believed 10 be
fatally injured, while the others received
serious burns about the face and ex.
tremitie.. The interior OF the store
presented scene OF the wildest confu-
ston, the debris of the explosion being
scattered in all directions. Had the
been in box stthe time OF
the explosion the building would have
been completely demolished. The
report was heard for q considerable
distance. At the Park hospital the
men presented q horrible appearance,
their faces being blackened with pow
der and the flesh burned of in patches,
Mr.. Harsh, although severely burned
is able to walk. He says he thinks the
explosion was caused by the driving OF
3 nail into the box filled with cartridges
the nail hit one and caused the explo-
sion.
