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

very lowest calculation thcro must bo forty

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

been taken to tho hospital so far.
Tho flames spread rapidly, destroying
other buildings, and wero not under control

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

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

Work ou tho ruins is begun, as tho building
might fall on tho workmen.

no means of ascertaining the number of tho

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
