New York, September, 3O.-The arrival
OF the United States steamer Philadelphia

of statements regarding the recent accident

magazine was open and charges OF powder
were IN the course of passage to the men
on deck. This chute lies Immediately in

At this juncture one of the men sprang
forward and before the powder had been
reached by the flames he had thrown the

and confusion of the moment may best be
