A fearful tragedy occurred in New
York City on the 9TH, in the Office OF
Messrs. Jewett, 1872 Front Street, white lead
manufacturers, when a %bombshell exploded,
instantly killing George W. Jewett, o.
Port Richmond, Staten Island, the head Of
the firm, and son of John Jewett. Orvil
D. Jewett, a relative, and also a mem
Der of the firm, had his left hand shattered
and suffered internal injuries. He wal
taken to Chambers Street Hospital. JOSEPH
r.. f &c., NJ Id -, L.,
pan fractured and suffered internal injuries
Both Mr.. Dean and O. D. Jewett refused, a
last accounts, to make any statement of the
terrible affair. The theory of the police il
that George W. and OrYille D. Jewett be
ZANE involved in a dispute, and the shel
must have beea used as a weapon. Thi
theory is strengthened by the discovery o
two revolyers and a knife in the room
When one of the reyolvers was found it
barrel was warm and one of the chamber
empty, with an exploded cap on it.
The New York Times publishes from
authentic sources the true story of the ex
plosion at Jewett's, revealing that a dia
!, bolical crime was perpetrated. Oryille D
t Jewett was admitted to the firm of whicl
t his father, when alive, was q member six o
seven years, simply because of that relation
ship. He has been somewhat wild, an,
} paid little attention to the business, whicl
: seems not to have been to his taste. he Wa
absent the past winter, yachting at Bermuds
aud on his return recently expressed a de-
E sire to withdraw from the firm. His par
t ners did not wish to make any change i
G the business, and opposed his retiring; bu
E he persisted in the determination, an
: finally became go disagreeable that the
conceded his request, and agreed to pa
him two hundred thousand dollars for his il
terest. The necessary papers were draw
up, and were to lave been signed on the ds
of the explosion. Young Jewett, probabl
: crazed with liquor came to the Office arme
With a hand grenade, a pistol and a diri
:; Some angry words passed, andhe pulled th
; grenade from his pocket and threw it on tn
floor. An explosion followed. The uncl
was killed, his WI legs broken, and h
received three terrible wounds in tn
abdomen. He then drew a pistol, and a
tempted to shoot himself through the heat
c but his aim was ineffective. He died tn
It same evening in the Hospital. Dean, VIII
was injured by the explosion, is uuderstoO
not to be in q dangerous condition.
