a WICKED aUMoR SET AT REST.
Residents Of the Tbiriy-nnh Street Arsenal
Neiahborhood SeedIcssIy Alarmed.

Since the explosion i'm the Bergen tunnel,
residents In the neighhorhood Of the arsenal at
1hrty-nfth street and Seventh avenue, have re-
vived alarming rumors that a large quantity
OF powder Is stored In that structure, some esti-
mating the amount to be at least 12,0O0 pounds.
Ioquiry addressed to Major Cole, who keeps the
record OF supplies at the arsenal, and to Gen.
Knox, who Is In command OF the post, showed
these rumors to be unfounded. The arsenal is
the depot Of supplies for tho State militia.
Loose powder, however, Is usually delivered by
the contractors to the artillery direct, subject
to the Inspection OF the officers In charge Of the
arsenal, but without passing through their
hands. Occasionally they do receive a qu nifty,
but IL Is not over fifty rounds at time, that Is,
sixty or seventy pounds, and then 1t is retained
for only about twenty-four hours. The ouly
time in ten years that they have mad n larger
quantity ON store, was during the Orange riots
In 1871.
10 the infantry troots no loose powder is fur
metallic cartridges OF which there are Ia store
usually not over 25,0OO, the equivalent OF about
800 pounds OF powder. But there is no such
danger IRON handling them as there Is from
dealing with loose powder. They are carefully
packed In boxes, and never explode from bump
Ing or falling. They are not viewed as hazard
Gus material anywhere. Danger OF explosion
from Gre IL averted by their storage In fire.
