The FoURTH.-What effect the Ca

the proposed celebration on the COM

be deemed advisable by the committee
to dispense with any public celeora-
ton and apply the money collected to
charitable or other purposes, for the
benefit of the city. We feel sure, how
ever, that If the citizens OF virginia
celebrate this year, the lesson Of last
night will render them more careful OF

otherwise been the case. The Fourth

The bodies recovered up to the time
of our going to press, Pm. are those
of Gen. Van Bokkeien. j.. z. Smith.
VIM. Davis, Charles H. kuox and
VIM. l.. Lowe. The bodies of the
three first were considerably mutila-
ted, but recognizable. That Of Lowe
was burned to q crisp, the lower por.
ton being completely DESTROYED, and
the only means of Identification was
his watch, and knowledge of the To-
cality where he was. The body of
Knox was very little dlsfigured. Dill
gent search Is still being made by a
large force of workmen, aud the other
bodies will doubtless soon be found.
Cause Of the Explosion.
Various causes are assigned for the
explosion, but the most reasonable one
Is that Van Bokkelen, being agent for
the famous giant powder, had a lot
of 1t In his room. Eye witnesses state
that the explosion evidently proceeded
from his room, which was adjoining
that of Smith and Davis in the Taylor
street corner, on the first floor from
the sidewalk. The body of Smith was
blown across Taylor street, against
the building opposite, and that of Da-
Wis lay In the middle of the street.
while that of Van Bokkelen lay across
the brick wall of the basement.
Losses.
The rooms on the level Of the G
street sidewalk occupied by the Cali
fornla Bank were not much damaged,
and the damage to Daley s Quinlan's
saloon on the south was principally
confined to the billiard department ut
the rear. All between, including
Kennedy & Mallon's grocery and pro-
vision store and Barnert's clothing
store, were essentially destroyed. The
C street wall stands all right. although
somewhat shaken In places, and n por-
ton of the front and upper rooms still
exist. The whole loss Is variously es-
timated ut from $3.50, 600 to 5000, QUO,
of which Kennedy Il Mallon lost
so, 900. They had $4,000 insurance.
Inceudinri.m.
Many of the citizens Of Virginia City
are of the opinion that this terri
BILE calamity was the result of a
conspiracy to involve the city in a gem
eral conflagration for the sake OF plum
der. At the tine the explosion took
place, the rear portion Of the Enter
prise building, Smiths saddler shop
and the Collins House were discovered
to be o.. fire.
