About1 o'clock this morning the fire alarm was again sounded when the grocery store of Turner and Jackson, on West Barraque street, near the bayou, vas discovered in flames. The building was enveloped in flames before the alarm was sounded. It was a frame structure and the fire made great headway. Before the fire department arrived a terrific explosion occurred caused by the bursting of can of gun pow der, which gave the west end of the town | severe shaking up. Ii is in- deed fortunate that the explosion occurred before the arrival of the fire department; otherwise it might have been attended with fatal con sequences.
 The building was the property of Mrs. Hannah Strauss and was worth about $1, 200, upon which there was $700 insurance in the Mills agency.
 The stock of groceries belonged to Turner < Jackson, enterprising colored men, and was worth at least $500 upon which there was not one cent of insurance. It is Wa great hardship and loss upon Sfhese men, Al. ss
 The origin of the fire is @not known but is believed to ha5eet 55e&en incendiary.

In the party are eight men, seven women and six children. They go by the way of Savannah, Ga, whence they will sail next Thursday.
