filled With diamonds and other precious stones;
gold 'watches, chains and valuable articles of
jewelry; and the other, in the real' portion of the
store, contained books and papers. These sates
were found to bra intact, with their contents un
iojured, and neither of them bore marks of hav
ing. been tampered with by burglars, thus de
stre'jhag the theory that the fire was caused by
the explosion of a safe at the hands of burglar&
Two safes were also taken during the day from
Rowell's store. These safes contained books
and papers and were also uninjured. There was
no outward evidence that either of the safes had

sets, all the private property of prominent citi
zens, and which were stored for safe keeping In

Harrison boilers which Were used in heating the
stores, and they were discdvered entirely free
from fracture, withithe water yet in them, and
the doors of the Airplanes ajar, as they had been
left on the previous evening. The only damage

caused by, Gie falling timbers.

found ye:Sten:lay afternoon. There was nothing
but the trunk' ofit left, and that being mach
charred, it could not beldentifled. The remains
were dug up about the centre of Caldwers

located, and itls apposed the unfortunate man

DISASTERS.
EXPLOSION AV ELM ABETHPORT,
NEV •JERSEY.
Two Men /killed and . Five Severely
oundeth
Tke Newark -4 dvertiser of yesterday says:
This morning, a few minutes after 9 o'clock,
the boiler in George Wood's brusla;handle tac
tory, at Elixabethport, exploded with a loud
noise, causing the destruction of two frame
buildings, the instant death of two men, and the
severe wounding of several others.
By the explosion the boiler was lifted from its
bed and hurled a distance of over two hundred
feet broadside into Winans & Brother's hardware,
stove and tin store, npOn the corner of Clinton
and First streets, on the block above. Two
small trees in its course were torn up and carried
along with the boiler into the building. Christian
Wolf, a lad in Mr: Winans's employ,was engaged
in harnessing the horse to the delivery wagon.
He was thrown by the force of the wind through
the basement window of Mr. Theodore W.
Winans's dwelling-house, but marvelously es
caped any injury beyond a few cuts on the bands
from the glass. The horse was thrown down and
the wagon is a complete wreck. •
Mr. Benjamin H. Winans was engaged at work
at a bench in the tin shop, mending a pump for
John Regan, the captain of the barge Wilderness,
who was standing near him. Both of the men
were instantly killed. Stanley. Miller in Mr.
Winans's employ, was also at work in the shop,
and was very severely wounded, so that his life
is despaired of. His head is injured, the blood
exuding from the ears, and one of his arms is
broken in two places. Mr. T. W. Bruen, the
book-keeper, narrowly escaped. He was writing
near where the boiler entered, and was thrown
from his seat and stunned by the concussion.
Besides a few bruises he is, however, unhurt.
Two workmen were standing near the engine
in Wood's factory at the time of the explosion.
One, Herman Miller, was sitting, ills said, upon
the boiler. He was thrown nearly a hundred feet
and deposited upon the ground, without injury
save a slight scalding, and was able to walk away
without assistance. The other John Ritter, was
partially covered by the debris, and is scalded
severely about the limbs. Although suffering ex
tremely, it is thought that he will recover.
As soon as the noise occurred, which is de
scribed as like that of an exploding rocket—a
dull thud, the hissing of steam, and then a heavy
crash, as the boiler entered the building . ; the
tyeets were filled with men, women and children,
abd the wildest confusion prevailed. The rear
of Winans A: Bro.'s establishment was a mass of
debris. The boiler, entire, save a small aperture
at one end, lay upon a heap of battered stoves,
demolished tin-ware, splintered boards and
broken plastering. Underneath• the ruins were
also the dying and the wounded. The
bodies were quickly extracted and taken
into an adjoining drug store, where
Winans and Regan soon expired. Neither were
much disfigured. Winaps's body was removed
to the residence of his brother, Mr. Theo. H.
Winans, who is also his partner. The deceased
was .13 years of age, and resided In Meadow street,
Elizabeth, whore be leaves an invalid widow, and
one child. Regan's body was taken to police
headquarters. He lived at Bergen Point, and the
barge of which ho is captain was lying at the
Port taking in coal. Stanley Miller, who is so
severely injured, resides with his mother in Crane
street, Elizabeth. He is about 22 years of age;
his condition is considered very precarious.
Accident on the New Jersey Railroad.
A horrible accident occurred on the track of
the New Jersey Railroad, just above the Newark
avenue crossing, shortly after 1 o'clock yester
day afternoon. From all the facts that can be
gathered It is difficult to decide whether the dis
aster was one of intention or accident on the part
of the victim. From the evidence of those who
witnessed the accident, it seems that the man,
who is unknown, was walking up the track
as the 1 P. M. train was coming up behind him.
The man was en the track, opposite to that on
which the train was, and nobody supposed him
to be in danger, but he evidently became confused
by the noise of the locomotive, and suddenly
springing to the other track, immediately in front
of the approaching cars, was knocked down by
the locomotive. The entire train passed
over his body, cutting him In two at
the waist, and breaking both his legs,
besides otherwise mutilating and [:dangling
his body. The remains were gathered together
and placed in Hope's stables by Coroner Warren,
there to await identification. in the pockets of
the deceased em and some small articles were
found, but nothing that could lead to the disco
very of his name or residence. A jury was at
once impanneled from among those who wore
congregated in the vicinity of the accident, and
an inquest was commenced at Coroner Warren's
office, but no further particulars wore ascer
tained.—N. Y. Tribune.
]Sank Defalcation in Maryland.
The Centreville (Marco, of the 12th instant,
says: Report reached bozo on Friday that Samuel
W. Spencer, Esq., who was for several years
