TALES OF EYE-WITNESSES.
MANY OF THEM HEARD THE SOUND
OF A BIG EXPLOSION.

People Seen Fast in the Ruins With Flames
Enveloping Them-Girls and Men Go
Down With the Falling Walls Some
Remarkable Escapes.
NEW YORK, Aug 22.-Policeman Joseph
Back was at West street and Park Place
when the explosion occurred to-day. He
ran to the scene, to find the building
wrecked and burning fercely. He said: 81
saw that nothing could be done
from the front on Park Place,
and with Fireman Vredenberg I went
through a basement on Greenwich street.
We made our way to the wall of the wrecked
building, and with hooks, bars and axes
made a hole through the wall, through
which we took three of the employees from
the kitchen of the restaurant. We could see
others fast in the ruin, but we could not as
sist them, as smoke and flame soon envel-
oped them
Jacob Schlesinger, employed in the build
ing, said that there must have been at least
100 persons in the building when the ex-
plosion occurred. He saw Is or 16 girls at
the windows of Liebler & Mass offices on
the third floor just when the building fell.
His impression was that the explosion oc-
cured in Rosenfeld's store.
M1cnael CrOn1n, freSluenG OF the NOlun-
teer Firemen's Association, was standing at
College Place. He said that the
dust was so thick after the ex-
plosion that he could not see
through it, He saw afterward that all
of the electric wires had been broken in two
and that horses received shocks. One man
he saw running from the scene of the wreck
came in contact with live wire and was
knocked down.
Frank Burns said that he was in an up
per window, just opposite the scene of dis
aster, and that he heard a rumbling sound.
He saw through the dust colored man es-
cape from the building. He also saw
a number of people fall from
the upper windows; and he
describes it as if they had
been blown from the windows. Following
them almost Immediately were the falling
walls, which fell upon and buried the peo-
pie. He saw two other men besides the
colored man escape, one of whom staggered
H. c. Stall saw the crash. 'tI knew most
of the men employed there" he said, 'and
/ recognized one of them as he fell into the
street with the front wall. He is Louis
Bernard. l. saw him drop with the
shower of bricks from the fourth
story. He fell OH the ruins in the street,
scrambled to his feet and got away. He
was badly hurt and his head was cut. They
took him to the hospital. Bernard was a
stone grinder. l saw some other persons
go down in the ruin when the front fell, but
did not recognize their faces"

STRONGLY FOR BLAINE.
THE NORTHWEST ENTHUSIASTIC FOR
THE MAN FROM MAINE.

He or Rusk Can Only Make Wisconsin
Republican In 1892 E1-Congressman
McComas Says Harrison Is Growing in
Favor Among Western Republicans.
tFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, Aug. pa high official
of the Interior Department, who has just
returned from visit in the West and
Northwest in connection with the business
of his office, told the correspondent of the
DISPATCH to-day that the enthusiasm for
Blaine in that region can hardly be e1-
himself, though friendly to Blaine, is not a
special advocate of his nomination for the
Presidency, and looks at the situation as it
is without prejudice. Most of his time was
spent in Wisconsin. He understands the
politics of that State thoroughly, and says
that from his information Wisconsin will
not be certain Republican State next year,
except with either Blaine or Rusk as the
chief candidate.
The personality of Blaine would, he SAYS,
carry the State, and Rusk's popularity
with the farmers and the homespun class
generally would do the same thing for him.
He saws that Rusk would be strong candi-
date everywhere next year on account of
the farmers m vement, but Blaine's name
would inspire a more enthusiastic cam
paign.
Ex-Congressman McComas, the brilliant
Maryland tariff advocate has also just re-
turned from trip throughout the West,
and though he agrees with most other peO-
pie that Blaine's is the most pow
erful name to coniure with, he
speaks also good word for
l. H.. apf'
tour made an impression which did not pass
away in an hour. He has been growing in
favor ever since, Mr.. McComas thinks, and
day by day is getting stronger. He says
there is great deal of talk of Blaine among
the political leaders, but the people gener-
ally believe that Blaine is loyal to Harri-
son; that he will not be candidate, and
that Harrison will be renominated.
Mr.. MoComas, however, has peculiar
reasons for booming Harrison, and his as
sertions do not coincide with those of others
Who have sounded Western sentiment. The
official above referred to declared that he
found no Harrison sentiment whatever.

A major and captainess of the South
side brigade of the Salvation Army called
on Police Superintendent Weir yesterday
afternoon and asked for the protection of
the police in the conduct of their meetings
on South Twenty-second street. They
stated that they had a printed list
OF rules posted up in their
hall which applied to every
one attending their services, but frequently
the young men from the Southside would
come in ano disregard them, sometimes
necessitating call for police.
The maj jor related how one evening last
week he had been knocked down for at
tempting to enforce the rules and he was not
anxious to take chances on such treatment
again, so he wanted a policeman stationed
at the hall every night. He would not
guarantee the salary of a special officer,
however, and hereafter the army will have
to get along without extra police protection.
