The Police Commissioners, accom-

the Msyor to day, In response to
bis charges Of direlection Of duty. The
Commissioners, in their answers, say that
the charges are generally Indefinite and
uncertain, and by vague phrases and i'm.
plications call in question the whole ad-
ministration Of the Police Department.
a request for adjournment to prepare the
defence was denied by the Mayor.

The newspapers tell US So every day.
This city Is cave Of Adullam, re.

The greatest sacrifice Of life was among
the young girls, many Of whom, from
eight to fifteen years Of age, we're EN-
ployed in selling, asserting and packing
candies on the frat floor over the boiler,
which was situated in the basement Of the
rear end Of the Barkley street wing Of
the building and not under the sidewalk
as at fret reported. None Of these are
known 10 have escaped.
The building occupied by Mayor &
Knapp, engravers, on the opposite side Of
College place, caught Ere from sparks,
but the flames were extinguished with
triiling damage. Among other buildings
injured are those Of E. W. Little, fancy
goods, 24t and 2f3 Greenwich street, and
Charles Westervelt, hats and iurs, 1897
Greenwich street, loss about s., 900 each.
The total loss is probably a quarter Of a
million.
The neES Of the explosion spreal over
the city rapidly, and The widest rumors
and great excitement prevailed. Large
crowds hurried from all quarters to the
scene. The police kept the crowd blocks
away from the place. Many persons hav.
ing children or relatives working in the
factory, as the evening wore on and they
had not returned home, sought the scene
Of the disaster, and hospitals, and police
stations in search Of the missing ones.
At the very lowest calculation there
must be forty or fifty bodies in the ruins.
The 6remen will keep streams Of water
on the ruins all night, and wilt have the
street cleared and be ready to commence
digging for bodies tomorrow. Il is fear.
ed that the wall Of the Bank building Is
damaged, and this will be examined be-
fore the work on the ruins is begun.
A later estimate places the number Of
persons in the building at the time Of the
explosion at 10, including 20 visitors
and customers.
The boiler has been in use five ye ars,
and, it ia said, Greenfield has been sever
al times warned that 1t was unsafe. The
loss Is now estimated at $5OO000.

NoRwALK, December 20-l0P. M.-At
the meeting Of the stockholders this
morning the Robinson party, alter mo
ton had prevailed to proceed to the elec.
ton Of the directors moved 10 appoint q
different Get Of tellerS, naming them, In
stead Of thOSe appointed by the Chair
yesterday.
Judge Cochran, 10 the Chair, held the
motion not in order, and from this ruling
sn appeal was taken. An attempt to de.
bate the appeal was also held not in or.
der. On the question shall the ruling Of
the Chair be sustained, vote was taken
by the shares Of stock. Pending the vote
challenges to the votes were made, and
the question Of the right Of stock to vote
wss left by the Chair to the Judges Of
Election, who retired and sent for persons
and papers.
AT 8 o'clock this evening the Judges
returned into the meeting and announced
their decision Of the challenge against
the Robinson party, The vote then pro-
ceeded and the chair was sustained by a
vote Of about $500 shares against 1900.
The voting for directors then proceeded,
pending which, at the request Of the
tellers, who were nearly worn out, the
meeting by unanimous consent took a
recess until tomorrow at 9 AM.
The result will in all probability be
tho election Of the reform ticket and u
condemnation Of the management for the
last year. The interest is unsbated, and
there is no telling what question will be
sprung before the end. MACK.

lament meets that the communications
