Tlio ANNUAL ELECTION of DIREOTnilH of tbu Bank wUl to held at thn Bsnklug House, on TUESDAY, JANUARY 8th, IS78, between the Hours of TEN A. M. nnd FOUR o'clock P. M. W W BOWMAN, CaUner. Dcccjnter 13 wi Horrible Holocaust New York, Dec. 20. There was nn ex plosion at ten minutes past fivo o'clock this afternoon in tho immenso candy manufac tory of Greenfield & Sons, No. 03 Barclay Btrcct, which extends to Collego Place. Tho boiler, which was iu tho basement, burst, tearing away tlld cntiro froiit and scattering tho wreck in all directions. Within a few minutes after thd explosion tho wall, fivostorics high, fell into tho street whoro was gathered a multitude of scream ing people, and flames burst out in all d rections. With regard to tho ilumbcr of persons ill tho building at tho timo of tho explosion no definite estimate can bo had to-night,thougli tho proprietor thinks thcro were about 110. Thoso employed in tho factory wero princi pally young girls and boys from Bight to twonty years of agtii Owing to thd approach of tho holidays a doublo forco was employed, ono working during tho day and tho other at night. Tho force, which usually consists of over a hun dred is changed at fivo' o'clock, and tho fact of tho explosion occurring at ten minutes past that hour renders it still moro difficult to know how many fell victims. Soveral girls wero seen to jump from tho top of tho building into tho fire. Tho great est sacrifice of lifo howovcr, Will bo among tho young girls, many of whom ard from eight to fifteen years. Thoy wero employed selling and assorting and packing candies on tho first floor, over tho boiler. Nono ot thoso escaped so far as known, and at tho very lowest calculation thcro must bo forty or fifty dead bodios m tho ruins. Tho bookkeSj'er who was bn tho Barclay street side of tho building was blown out through tho window to tlio street nnd badly cut on tho head. Soveral persons jumped from tho second story and escaped with slight injuries, tho fall beirig broken by policemen and citizens on tho sidewalk bo low. Thirteen wounded persons, of whom ten aro undor eighteen years of ago, havo been taken to tho hospital so far. Tho flames spread rapidly, destroying other buildings, and wero not under control until 0:30 p. m. Tho factory building wa3 in tho form of tho letter L. and in tho anglo woro situated tho Grocers' Bank building and D. D. Thompson's brown paper wnrohouso both fivo stories high. Tlio latter fell to tho ground, but tho bank building was only slightly damaged. At 65 Barclay street, a framo building, occupied as a dwelling nnd cigar store, also fell down. Tho building occupied by Bug & Knapp, engravers, on tho opposite sido of Collego Place, caught firo from tho sparks, but tho flames wero ex tinguished with trifling damago. Among tho other buildings injured nro thoso of E. W. Iiittle, fancy goods, 241 and 243 Green wich street, and Charles Wcstcrvcltdiats and furs, 337 Greenwich street. Their loss is about $2,000 each, and Greenfield & Sons estimate their loss at $100,000. Tho loss to Tompkins warehouse cannot bo ascertained to-night, but tho total losses will not bo less than a quarter of a million. Nows of the explosion spread oyer tho city very rapidly and tho widest runtors and great excitement prevailed. Somd ot tho evening papers got out extras with Very ex aggerated rejxirts of tho extent of thd calam ity, which incrensod tho excitement. Many iiertons havingchildren or relnUvcs working in tho factory sought tho scene of tho disaster, tho hospitals and police stations in search of missing ones, and their anxiety and grief wero very touching. Mr. French, who lived in tho framo building at 05 Bar clay street, over thirty years, fled with his family in t!mo to savo their lives, but afterwards remembered having left $10,000 in United States bonds in a book caso on tho third floor. Mr. Megill,of engine No. 32 and roundsman Coffeo of the Fi ret precinct pol ice, volunteered to go in for tlio bonds. Tho flames and smoko bursting out of tho building they climbed uji ou an awning and entered tho window, securing a packngo of paper and camo out. Tho packago was then found not to bo tho bonds. A second timo they entered through tho flames and smoko and brought out tho bonds in safety. The firemen will keep a stream of water on tho ruins all night and will havo tho strocts cleared and will bo ready to commence liggmg out tho debris to-morrow. It is feared tho walls of tho bank building is damaged and this will bo examined before Work ou tho ruins is begun, as tho building might fall on tho workmen. Midnight Up to this hour thcro has been no means of ascertaining the number of tho lost which is variously ntimatcd from twenty to seventy. Tho explosion was a most tcrrifia ouo and a great jortion of tho whole front walls of tho building fell with a crash. Several jicrsons wero passing along tho street at tho timo and it is feared somoof them aro buried in tho flames. 4 Tho building caught firo immediately and tho flames literally flew to tho roof. Thd eecuo was a tcrriblo ono and dozens of girls who worked ujion tho several floors wero seen rushing wildly arid helplessly to and fro and wero soon enveloped iu fierce flames. Ono of tho Delaware and Lackawanna exprutt wagons wu passing at tho timo. Tho wagon was deuiulished. the hr. killed and tho driver had a leg broken. Mr. P.
