When the noon hour came yesterday to that
busy part of this city where the fruit and prod
uce trade centres the two blocks bounded by
Greenwich and Washington, Chambers and Muir
ray SITS. were hive of peaceful and prosperous
industry. Within a few minutes they looked
as if they had undergone weeks bombardment
from heavy artillery. over twenty buildings had
been wrecked and about three dozen firms had
been suddenly driven into the street. while for
long distance to north, south, east and west the
windows of hundreds of stores and lofts had been
blown in. plaster and signs and shutters had
been torn off, cornices stripped away and chin
neys set awry. The streets were at the same
time choked with splintered beams and jagged
glass. Men. women and youths ran in terror or
fell faint from wounds. while others, it seems
certain, instantly buried alive under the
ruins
The cause of this swift and terrible trans
formation scene an explosion of chemical
substances in the wholesale drug house of Tar
rant & Co., a seven story and basement brick
structure at the northwest corner of Warren and
Greenwich SITS. When the excitement had sub
sided somewhat, and the extent of the disaster
could be realized, much indignation was
pressed that any firm should be allowed to store
or should wish 10 store upon It's premises in so
crowded district a quantity Of explosive ma
terial capable Of creating such widespread de-
struction. No member or employe of the firm Of
Tarrant & Co could be discovered who would
disclose the amount or the nature of the stock
except in the most general terms. but George
p. Murray. inspector of the Bureau of Combusti-
bles, told the reporters that the permit issued
to the firm by the Department allowed II to keep
on hand not more than one barrel Of benzine
one barrel of turpentine and one hundred pounds

William Henry Doveton Haggard, the British

and buried him in the wreckage.
Reports from the interior show that the ef-
fects Of the earthquake were widespread. The
disturbances were felt as far as the region of
the Andes.
There were many wonderful escapes.

Caracas is a favorite place for earthquakes The
town was entirely destroyed in 1872, and
less of 1t has been shaken down at intervals since
The earthquake of 1872. however the most
appalling in the history of the republic Every

damage to property. There were seven terrific
shocks at that time in quick succession. and the
residents of the city terror stricken President
Castro and his family slept for several nights under
tents in the Plaza Bolivar and all the churches
and theatres were kept closed for a week.

STORY OF THE E1IPERoRs FLIGHT.
HIS BoDYGUARD MURDERED. PILLAGED AND
EVEN STOLE THE IMPERIAL MEALS.

Peking oct. 2S.-Prince Su. who accompanied
the Chinese Court in the fight TO Tai-Yuen-Fu
and afterward returned here, disheartened by
the anarchy existing among those composing the
immediate advisers Of the Throne, gave. in the
course Of an interview to-day, an interesting ac-
count Of his journey
"On the first day" said Prince Su, the Court
travelled in carts twenty miles north escorted
by 5000 soldiers. who pilaged, murdered and
committed other outrages along the entire route
The flight was continued at the rate Of twenty
miles day to Hsuan- -Hua-Fu in the most
panicstricken manner. So little authority was
exerted that the soldiers even stole the meals
prepared for the Emperor and the Empress
Dowager The execution of several for murder
and pillage eventually brought them under
control
The Court remained three days at Hsuan-
stay. They, however, were overruled owing TO
resumed TO Tai-Yuen-Fu, with ten thousand ad-
ditional troops under General Tung Flu Hslang,
who added the discord.
The Empress Dowager did little else but
weep and upbraid her advisers. The Emperor
reviled everybody The journey occupied twen-
ty-six days, the longest route being taken owing
TO fear of pursuit.
On arriving at Tai Yuen-Fu great difficulty
was experienced in forming any semblance OF
government. Many ediCtS were ignored, and AZ
fairs reached a state OF absolute chaos The
Emperor would have preferred TO trust himself
10 the allies but he was compelled to join IN
the flight.
Prince su does not believe that the Court is
going to Si-Nang-Fu. He thinks the plan is
TO return by a circuitous route through South
ern Shan-Se and Northern Ho-Nan.
