FIRE AND DANGEROUS EXPLOSIoN-FIRK-
MEN INJURED-A HOUSE BLOWN TO
An exciting fire and explosion occurred
Yesterday afternoon at the Triumph Safety
Powder Works, ;" situated at the intersection
or George, Blddle and Sellman streets, for
merly occupied by the owner of the building
Louis McMurray, as an oyster packing
house. The fire alarm was sounded from
box 81 q Ito y. m, and after a second alarm
Six steam engines ard two hook and ladder
companies responded. The factory, q two
story brick building, fronting on SelIman
street, Is connected with warehouses front
Ing on Biddle and George streets. The fire
occurred in the basement OF the Sellmau
street house, which was, TO large extent ia
lanes when the fremen arrived, and was
suDseq ueHtly blown 10 shivers by a series Of
explosions, lasting half an hour aud sun
posed to come fIom about a hundred Tin
packages OF compound manufactured on
lne premises for blasting purposes, which
was regarded by the manufacturers TO pos
sess qualities OF absolute safety against ac-
cldents. The explosions were like heavy vol
lies OF musketry. Debris from the building
was scattered around promiscuously, and
several families on George street, becoming
alarmed, were removing their effects from
the neighborhood, amidst considerable ex-
citement. The firemen went TO work
promptly after the first alarm, not knowing
the nature OF the business carried on, though
they were afraid 10 venture inside on ac-
count OF the knowledge OF the existence OF a
steam boiler on the premise, and subSe
quently the explosions deferred them ven
turing too much. When the fire was under
comparative control, aud the explosions had
apparently ceased, a heavy blast occurred
which brought down the side wall OF the
factory, bufying eleven fremen under the
debris. Several firemen who were on q part
OF OF me ROOF remaining caught IN tree stand
lLg In the adjoining yard OF Mr.. McNurray's
mansion. Fortunately none OF the hremen
received injuries more serious than
bruises, burns and slight cuts, which
were promptly attended by surgeons
Notwithstanding the play Of six engines
and the constant work of over a hundred fire
men, two hours elapsed before the fire was
fully eXtinguished. In the connecting ware
house on George street two hundred caus of
the triumph powder, containing each twenty
five pounds, were stored.
The factory on Sellman street is 50 by $50
feet, and It's complete destruction involves
an estimated loss TO Mr.. McMurray OF as 200;
no insurance. The machinery OF the Tn
umph Safety Powder company, valued at
SO 600, was damaged so that IL may not be
OF any future use--BdltimOre Siol, 29th.

remedy for existing evils. the purchase and
cancellation OF legal tenders to the amount
OF at least million dollars per month, aud
would compel an Involuntary contraction IL
1t could not be brought about otherwise. The
people had no hope of relief unless some def
mite financial policy be adopted.
