NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-An explosion, the
cause Of which is not known, occurred at
$40 last evening in Whites express Office
on the southwest corner of Crosby and
Bleeckor streets, and almost Immediately
followed conhagration that not only
proved disastrous, but almost got beyond
control.
The only theory of the explosion that
could be formed last night was that some
package in the express Office contained ex-
plosivos and was ignited either spontane-
ously or by the heat of the room.
In few moments the flames had spread
from tho building in which they started
to a shoe store next door, and from there
TO the rear Of the Empire State bank build
ing, at GAO Broadway. An alarm was sent
ost promptly and was followed in quick
order by four others. 1t was responded to
by 1s engines, hook and ladder compa-
MES, fire patrol companies and 2 water
towers. Even this unusual force found
difficulty in coping with the conhagration,
which spread with alarming rapidity.
Over the floor occupied by the bank
were five stories occupied by dealers in
fancy goods. millinery, feathers and the
like, and because Of the inhammable ma
ture Of the goods there was bred such in
tense heat that within half an hour the
flames crossed Blocker street. and the
Manhattan bank building, a modern, sup
posedly hreproof structure, was blazing.
This building is eight stories in height,
with the seven upper stories also prinoi-
pally occupied by dealers in fancy goods.

ground.
The old Bleecker Street bank building
caught fire, but, being a substantial old
stone building was not very seriously
damaged. No. 63S Broadway suffered from
an explosion, supposed to have been caused
by hot air. The flying glass from the front
windows cut Frank Henkle OF 333 East
Eighty-third street severely and he was
talxon IN an ambulance TO the Chambers
Street hospital.
The entire inside OF this building was
drenched with water and so escaped the
flames, though the goods In Adler's glove
store, J. n. Goodrich & Co. 8 coach fac
tory and Alfred L. Simon & Co. s feather
store were almost totally destroyed.
The total damage when the fire was got
under control, at a little before 10 O. clock,
was estimated at 81, 500, 900.
Burr Mcintosh, the actor, got in the
way Of the nremen, and was slightly hurt.

Cured there he should surely sue the

any action by City Council. There had
never been any conference between John

he had opened in private property been
accepted. Therefore Council had 30
