The Crystal Palace peStroyed
[l:'rom York Enquirer, Oct. 6
The Crystal Palace, situated on - Reservoir-,
Square, 6th Avenue and 42d street, in whiehJ
the Fair of the American institute was being
held, ,was destroyed by fire shortly . after • five ; !
o'clock last evening.- The fire, originateain. ,
a room in. the north nave used fur the storage •
of some articles, left in the - Palace since, the.,
Industrial Exhibition of 185 . 1, :and. the alarm"
was scarcely sounded throughout the building
the tlameS began to spread- in all direc—
tions. ,'Tie galleries being hung with goods,
the, lire wt,i.s.,e,ll3lost_ instantaneously commu
nicated to the-different-sections of the Palace,-
and -th.e spectators and exhibitors about 2000
in number,-had scarcely time to save them
selves. .The seene which, followed-was, most
fearful ; the greatest consternation prevailed,
all - rushing for the doors, except some of
the exhibitors, who made -an effort to save
their goods; The rush and press at the doors
was for a time suffocating,. but fortunately the
Palace was well planned for,means of egress,
and the people soon found themselves. safe
outside.
The floors of the building being of Georgia
pine, burned like so much tinder, and soon
deprived.the grand- structure of much of its
support. Many of the exhibitors clung to
their valuable goods to the last moment pos
sible, but very few managed to save any-
Some came out with their clothes on
fire
,and narrowly escaped suffocation. It
was the general impression for some time,
that a large number of persons had been shut
off by the flames, those coming out last re
porting several behind. The most painful
apprehensions were entertained, at least thirty
persons were thought to be lost in the flames,
but fortunately such was not the case. Those
supposed to be in the building at the time;
had escaped out of opposite doors to those
who had reported them lost. '
In fifteen minutes after the discovery' of the
fire, the dome fell in, and in five or ten min
utes more, the magnificent structure, , for sev
en years one of the principal ornaments of
the city, was in a heap of ruins. Fragments
of the walls and portions of the iron frame re=
mained. The contents continued to burn
and smoulder up to a late hour..
The firemen were - early at the premises,
but could do nothing to stop the progress of
the flames. The dome was ready to fall in
when they got to work, and then, efforts were
found necessary to prevent the fire from com
municating to buildings on the streets adjoin-
1/I, s cr.
At a late hour the painful impression of
persons having been lust by the catastrophe
was chiefly removed. :No one was known to
be missing, and it was believed that no lives
were lust.
The fire was supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary—some thought for the
purpose of plunder. The entire loss is tho't
to be upwards of a million of dollars. The
Palace lately became the property of the city
under the charter given the original owners,
and was not known to be insured. The cor
poration does not insure its buildings. The
Palace had been insured by its previous own
ers for $50,000. It originally cost $700,000
to 6800,000
Sonic of the individual loses were
Robert Rait, jeweller in Broadway, lost ': ' a
case of diamonds valued at $80,000; the Cas
ticton.State Company. lost $5OOO worth of
property: the New York Steam Heating, Com
pany $OOOO ; Mr. Chickering, piano manu
facturer, $10.000: the Washington statue
was worth $15 . ,000 ; the Amazon $lO,OOO.
The following is the statement of Captain
Maynard, of the municipal Police
The fire originated at the Forty-second
street entrance, north nave, at about 5 o'-
clock. This entrance is usually kept closed,
and is so arranged as to form a - lumber room,
and there is no fire anywhere in the neigh
borhood of it. I. was standing at the public
entrance on Sixth avenue, and the first inti
mation I had was,the cry of "fire." There
was then a rush of people for this entrance,
which was the only one open. In connection
with the visitors, exhibitors, and employees,
there were about two thousand people in the
building, all 4if whom appeared to rush for
the door. In connection with the managers,
I kept them back so that no accident should.
happen by their piling on top of each other
while going down the steps. From the time
the fire started until the crowd passed out,
which was not over fifteen or twenty minutes,
the building was filled with smoke and flames
from the dome to the floor, and the speed of
the fire was so great that no one of the ex
hibitors had time to save anything except
what they could carry easily out. The only '
property saved at the Sixth avenue entrance
was a few light articles which the exhibitors
carried in their hands, one light carriage,
and a glass ease containing the gold and sil
ver medals, silver cups, intended to be award
ed to the exhibitors at the present Fair. The
visitors had for the most part got out before
there was much spread of the fire, and when
all were pretty much - eut'l was startled by a
tremendous crash or fall of glass. I rushed
to see what caused it, when I found the fire
immediately over my head on the Sixth ave
nue entrance. The last thing taken out was
the case above mentioned, and the flames
leaped after us as we left the edifice with it.
A young man named Smith, in the employ of
the Institute, was about the last iu the build
ing, anti saved a case of valuable watches.—
In an almost incredible short space of time
the dome fell in, and soon rendered the struc
ture a perfect wreck.
Mr. Smith says he was at the extreme end
of the Fortieth street gallery, engaged in
fixing a case,,when ho heard the alarm of
fire. He finished the case and closed the
door, and then went toward where the fire
was. The smoke was so intense that he al
most suffocated. He saw the fire at the For
ty-seeimd street entrance, and then ran back
td the case of watches, which he carried or
dragged along the gallery, down a flight of
stairs, and so out into Fortieth street. When
he came out the dome was all-in flames, and
he was, he thinks, the last one in the build
ing.
At " the time of the conflagration there
were about fifteen hundred people in the Pal
ace, including exhibitors and employees, all
of whom immediately rushed for the Sixth
Avenue entraneo, the only means of egress.
We learn that all succeeded in effecting their
escape without - injury. For about fifteen
minute' after the fire was discovered, the en
tire built Eng was filled with dense smoke and
flames. which prevented the ellhibitors from
saving their - valuable goeds. After much ex
ertion and exreure to imminent peril. one or
two of the many who had :1r , , 14 , t - L - i on exhibition
succeeded in removing a purton of their stock
from the building.
Among • these. was Mr. L. D. Towsley,
n an u r,, e tur e r of revolvers, who was within
the Palace at the time the alarm of lire was
raised. lie had with him his son, a boy
'',l)ot/t ten years of age, whom he directed to
remain standing near the top of one of the
flights of stairs until he should come for him.
He then made a circuit of the gallery, taking,
up on his way a glass case containing a num
ber of six barrelled revolvers. With this on
his shoulders, he returned to the placT where
his son was standing, and both then .started
for the door, and reaching it much exhaust
ed. Mr. Townsley estimates his loss at about
$lOOO.
Messrs. Hathaway_ & Co„ of Maine, saved
a portion of their astronomical instruments.
Those lost are valued at - about $2200. Of
the fire nmeldues, the carriage of No. 1 Hose
Company (Eagle,) do, of No. 6 Hose Compa
ny (Croten,) engine of No. 16 (Gothom,)
Hook 'and ladder No. 11 (Mutual,) and en
gine. of No. 28 (Pacific,) were destroyed.—
Only two were saved—No 38 (Oceanic) hose
carriage, mid No. 40 (Empire) hose carriage.
Mr. James Smith, with had charge of the
American watches and watch Materials, ex
hibited by Appleton, Tracy & Co., valued at
$6,000 succeeded-in saving them all without
injury, but suffered Severely himselffrom the
inhalation of hot-air. smoke. :Mr. Wallis,
the:agent 'of Howard & Davis; exhibitors of
clocks and watches assisted Mr., Smith in his
perilous Undertaking ' bUt failed to save any
of the ,valuable stock of Messrs. 11. & D.,
with the exception of a small case:of watches,
&e.
• Mr. 'Godfrey, a visitor in the Palace, says
that at 51 o'clock he was in the lower Tart of
the building'near the Machinery_ lie heard
the Cry . of - hire,' and saw the - women much
alarmed.ceming doWn from the galleries.—
He then moved under the dome:when he
saw the fire and large volumes of suaoke is
suing froth the. nave •toward Forty-second
street. By that time every one,' in the galler
ies bad got down. Some of the employees
got a stream of Water from one of the Palace
hydrants, but it seemed to have no effeet.--
The fire increased rapidly, and dense vol
umes of and flames came from the
north part of the edifice, and, leaping up,
soon enveloped the galleries. The
_door at
the Fortieth street entrance was then thrown
open, which created a great draught, and in,
less than three minutes thereafter the interi
or was one mass of flames. Mr. Gotlfrey then
made his escape. The view from the street,
and neighboring builidings was very grand,
and thousands of persons thronged to the
scene of the confillgration.,
The room in which the.fire originated con
tained:a, large quantity of models and other
property that was on exhibition at the World's
Fair, and the Directors of the Institute were
under bondA not to disturb anything therein,
or occupy the apartment as . lonr. as the prop
erty was in.dispute hetwen them. and the ori
ginal Directors of the Exhibition.
There was a rumor that the Palace had
been set on fire, and, in rant, this rumor was
very general, and was talked about in ei•ery
direction. Some said the ;as leaked, and that
the escaped gas ignited ; but this idea was
scoffed. at. Numbers asserted that there was
a strong smell of camphene or, turpentine
from the room, and that no such volumes of
smoke could be caused otherwise than by the
ignition of turpentine. It is said that a man
was seen coming from the room with his
coat collar .turned over the back of his head
in order to disguise himself. The party, it
is said, is known, and will no doubt be ar
rested at an early moment.
One hundred policemen were left in 'charge
of the place in order to prevent thieves from
prowling about and stealing any articles that
might have escaped destruction. The office,
bar-room, and reading rooms of the Fremont
house, on Fortieth street, opposite' the Pal
ace was filled with people, among whom were
many of the exhibitors recounting their losses
and telling of narrow escapes.
All the bar-rooms in the vicinity were
thronged, and everybody seemed desirous of
informing everybody about the fire, end it
was astonishing to one walking about from
place to place to hear of the many that were
last in the building.

The County Fair
As almost everybody was in town; during

for us to refer to it. It came fully up to our
expectations—and was considered . by all who
had the pleasure of being present,:as .. being
anything else than a, failure. The Exhibi
tion itself, was very creditable to the citizens
of the county—and the crowd of: people- in
.
attendance, spoke for the right spirit ex
isting with them.

EUROPEAN GRAIN" CROP. In the countries
bordering upon the meditaranian the crop
is variously reported, but upon the whole
may be regarded as equal to, if not exceeding
an average. Egypt will furnish an averc:ge.
Spain and Portugal will not require any sup
plies from other countries. In Belgium and
Holland there is an average crop ; while in
the Baltic regions, including Northern Ger
many and western Russia; the yield is below
an average, although high prices may induce
exports to some extent. In Franco there is
a fair crop of wheat and rye, oats•being infe
rior. The cereal crop of England exceeds the
average, and a portion of the extraordinary
wheat yield of last season still remains in the
hands of farmers, to be added to this year's
harvest. Other breadstuffs are somewhat un
der the average. In Ireland all kinds of pro
duce are abundant, compared with recent
years. The wheat crop of Scotland is excel
lent, other crops being medium, and possibly
below. On the whole, the United Kingdom
will this year require smaller imports of grain
than in ordinary seasons. The supplying
power of Central flu sdia is not yet determined.
