vited to rejoice over bis return, to

and to celebrate the era of reconcile
tion. It is very much to the credit
of tbe people that they joined in these
felicitations with great happiness.
As a general thing, they did not
complain that there was altogether
too much fuss over this ragged rep
robate, who only came home because
be could not help himself ; they gave

A Boiler Bursts, Caxdt Factort
Set 5 Fire asd from Fortt to
FirTT Persons Perish is the
Flames.
New York, Pec. 20 There was
an explosion at ten minutes past five
o'clock this afternoon in the immense
candy manufactory of Greenfield &
sons, No. G4 Barclay street, which
extends to College Place. The boil
er, which was in the basement, burst,
tearing away tbe entire front and
scattering tbe wreck in all directions.
Within a few minutes after tbe
explosion tbe wall. Eve stories high,
fell into the 6treet, where was gath
ered a multitude ot screaming peo
ple, and flames burst out in ail dicec-lions.
With the reirard to the camber of
persons in the bnilding at the time of
the explosion no deficite estimate can
be bad to-niebt, though tbe propriet
or thinks there were 110. Tho6e
euployd in the factory were princi
fally young girls ana boys irom
8 to 20 years of age.
Owing to the approach ol tbe boi-
idays a doubie force was employed,
one working during tbe day and the
meht. The force, whicb
usually consists of over a hundred, is
cbanged at fire o'clock, and tbe fact
of the explosion occurring at ten ruin
ates past that boor renders it stui
mere difficult to know how many fell
victims.
Several girls were 6een to jump
from the tup of tbe buildiog into tbe
bre. Tbe greatest sacrifice ot lite,
however, will be among tbe young
girls, many of whom are from eigbt
to fifteen yeais. Tbey were era
ployd selling and assorting and pack
inir candies on tbe Gtst floor, over the
boiier. None cf those escaped so far
as known, and at the very lowest
calculation there must be forty or
fifty dead bodies in tbe ruins.
Tbe bookkeeper wbo was on tbe
Barclay street side of tbe building
was blown out through tbe w indow
to tbe street and badly cut on tbe
bead. Several persons jumped from
the second story and eacaptd with
slight injuries, tbe fall bciug broken
by policemen aud citizens on the side
walk below. Thirteen wounded per
sons, of whom ten are under eighteen
vears of aw. have been taken to the
hospital bo tar.
Tbe flam spread rapidly, destroy
ing other buildings, and were not un
der control until 6:30 r. m.
Tbe factory building was in tbe
form of tbe letter L, and in the an
gle were situated tbe Grocers' bank
building and V. V. lhompson's
brown paper warehouse both five
stories high. Tbe latter fell to the
groond, but tbe bank building was
only slightly damaged. At 65 Barc
lay street, a frame building, occupied
as a dwelling and cigar store, also
fell down. The building occupied
by Sug & Knapp, engravers, on the
opposit) aide of College Pla;e,
caught fire from tbe sparks, but the
flames were extinguished with tri-
ing damage. Among the other
buildings inju'ed are those of E. W
Little, fancy goods 241 and 243
Greenwich street, and Charles West-
ervelt, bats and furs, 329 Greenwich
street. Tbeir lose is about $2,000
each, and Greenfield & sons estimate
tbeir loss at $100,000. Tbe loss to
the Tompkins warehouse cannot be
ascertained to-night, but tbe total los
scs will not be lees than a quarter of
a million.
Newt of tbe explosion spread over
the city very rapidly and tbe wildest
rumors and greatest excitement pre
vailed. Some of tbe evening papers
got out extras with very exaggerated
reports of tbe extent of the calamity
whieb increased the excitement.
Many persons having children or
relatives working in tbe factory
songbt the scene of tbe disaster, tbe
hospitals and police stations in search
of missing ones, and tbeir anxiety
and grief were Terr touching. Mr
French, who lived in the frme build
ing at 65 B-clv street, over thirty
years, fled with his family in time to
save tbeir lives, but afterwards re
membered having left $10,000 in
United States bonds in a bookcase
on the third floor. Mr. Megill, of
engine No. 32 and Roundsman Cof
fee of the Third precinct police, vol
unteered to go in for tbe bonds. Th
flames and smoke bursting out of tbe
building tbey climbed up on an awn
ing and entered tne window, secur
ing a package ot papers and came
out Tbe package was then foun
not to be tbe bonds. A second time
they entered through tbe flames an
smoke and brought out tbe bonds i
safety.
Tbe firemen will keep a stream
water on the ruins all night and will
have tbe streets cleared and be ready
to commence digging out tbe debris
to-morrow. It is feared tbe wall f
the bank build. n is daisied aud
this will be examined b-f r wtk on
tbe ruins is begun, as tbe buildiig
migk. fall on tbe workmen.
Miduigbl Lp lo this hour brr
bas been no means of ascertain
the number of the lost whicb is var
iously estimated f'oni twenty D sev
enty.
The explosion was a m t terrific
one and a greater porti a of tbe
whole front walls of the building fell
with crash. Several persons were
passing along the street al tbe time
and it is feared some of them are bur.
ied in the flames.
The building caught fire immedi
ately and tbe flames literally flew to
tbe roof. Tbe scene was a terrible
one and dozens of girls wbo worked
upon tne several nocrs were seen

New York, December 21. The
Union League Club looked a us
brightest to-night, and its splendid
parlors were tteldom thronged with
so distinguished an assemblage of
ladies and gentlemen as gathered
there in honor of the reception of

sion. 1 be theater ol tbe ciuo, wuicn
communicates by folding doors with
tbe art gallery, was tastefully draped,

traction to tbe scene. The doors
leading irom tbe theater to tbe art
gallery and from that to the latter
to tbe main reception room facing on
Madison Square were thrown open.
Tbe saloon was decorated with the
flags of all the Slates, and a picture
of President Uaes was surrounded
with the L lilted States nag.
Shortly after seven o'clock guesu

he President of the club, cordially
greeted the Prebident and bis party,
and gave them a beany welcome to
the Union League Club. The iccep-
tion was altogether ot an informal
character, and no addresses were delivered.
Secretary Evarts and wife arrived
bortly after the Presidential
party, aod joined tbem in the taioon
By this time tbe rooms were uncom

was rather blow.
The time was pasted agreeably,
tbe President aod bis party chatting
familiarly with those to wbom tbey
ere introduced. I here was no
formality, and tbe reception produced
a great success, both socially and
otherwise. After an hour's pleasant
conversation and promenading, dur
ing whicb the many splendid paint
ings and works of art which adorn
tbe walls of the Club were admired
and commented upon, an adjournment
was taken to tbe banquet-room, on
the fljor below, where an elegant de

Tbe reception was given under tbe
management of the House Committee
of the Club.
By ten o'clock tbe first of the car
riageg was called, and from that out

Tbe President and party leu at

Captain Blair telegraphs at 6 P.
M. to-day (18) from El Paso. All is
over at San Elizario. Rangers sur
rendered yesterday morning. How
ard, Atkinson and McDride were
shot, and ail the rest of the ranger
party disarmed and liberated to-day.
All are now here. Blair is instructed
as toon as Company II reaches bim
to move down to San Elizario.
There seems to be little doubt it will
require all the force that has been
ordered there to arrest tbe ringlead
ers and participators in this ontrage.
Under tae orders received I shall in
struct the troops to assist tbe Sheriff
in performing this dnty. I regret
that tbe small number of troops in
New Mexico, and tbeir dispersion at
numerous points made it physically
impossible, in view of tbe shortness
of lime since the Governor of Texas
made bis demand upon tbe President,
to place a sufficient force at San
Khzurio to prevent this outrage upon
the laws of Texas. From the best
intormaiion we have bere from tbe
officer in charge at EI Paso, tbe per
sons composing the mob were entire
ly Mexican boru citizens of Texas.
There does not appear to have been
any help given them from the Mexi
can siuo of tbe river.

The Governor appeals to the Presi

Wasuinoton, Dec. 15. The nes
of trouble in El Paso county, Tex
as, and tbe telegram of Governor
Hubbard to tbe President calling for
assistance from Uuited States troops
for purposes of repelling invasion oi
Texas territory oy tbe .Mexican lorce,
caused some excitement ia this cut
but advices io possession of tbe Gov
ernment do not warrant the impression
bat any difficulties other than merely
local troubles have presented themselves.
There is no idea whatever that the
Mexican Government is making any
hostile demonsiration, but so far as
can be learned tbe unfriendly move
ments are nearly of tbe same nature
as those made tbe subject of atten
tion oi tbe W ar Department some
months ago, wben tbe question ot
proprietorship of certain salt pits iu
El Paso county cau.-ed much disor
der iu tbat section.
Tbe Government doe uo. consider
that ihe troubles reported fi-day are
in any degree international The
dispatches were, hosvever, promptly
referred to the Secretary of War,
wbo, after consultation with General
Sherman, gave directions for the
mustering of our forces in Texas iu
uch positions as to give whatever
aid may be necessary to prevent as

o'clock and continuing them till after
3 o'clock, wben breakfast was served.
Wbcu upon tbe" scaffold be covered
his eyes, sobbing loudly. He then
stepped to the scaff .Id rail and made
a brief address, saying, "I am bere
to hang for the murder of my wife,
out my sins are forgiven, and thank
God 1 am goiug to glory. I have
gained ibe remission of my crimes,
good friends, and 1 feel that wben
life leaves my body my Saviour will

He next tbauked his counsel, say
ing thev bad been like brothers to

Tbe Sheriff then pinioned tbe pris-
ouer. wbo repeatedly snouted uood-
b" to tbe crowd.
When tbe trap was sprung tbe rope
lipped, and Norfolk was strangled
to detitb.
they were brought back to Keytes
ville, and another atteaipt was made
to lynch them, but la.ld through
the vigilance of the officers and law
abiding cilizens.
Other arrests were made and a
large amount of ihe stolen property
recovered. Among those last ar
rested were Elijah Dougherty, who,
after being badly choked, acknowl
edged tbat he was cue of tbe leaders
of tbe gang. He was placed in tbe
second story of a buildiog under a
strong guard, but that night the mob
assembled, broke down all barrier,
and were just on tbo point of seizing
tueir victim, wnen be jumped rrom
the window and escaped. The
crowd fallowed hiin, and as they ran
pa.-t Dougherty's caliin his wife fired
at them with a sbol gun. but did no
Harm. The woman wa.s then order
ed to surrendrr, but she defied the
while crowd. Tbe Ci'y Marshal

Tbe other officers made a birailar
attempt and were aim) severely

Intense excitement prevailed, and

Wells was a young attorney, wbo

tbe Savings Fund to pay back tbe

bodies now lie buried beneath the
ruins. 1 wo hundred workmen. De
cides the firemen, are now diggiog in
ibe ruins, aud a strong police force is
needed to keep back ibe great crowds
pressing djo upon ibem. Tbe ru
ins could not be more complete than
ibey are, for scarcely a fragment of
wall is standing, and indeed none
whatever on tbe ground occupied by
tbe main building space of about 100
feet eqiiare
The wife ot Uertzebacb, tbe en
gineer, says tbat her husband, on his
return from work on Monday night,
told ber tbat one of tbe tubes ot the
boiler or some pipe connected con
necting with it (she was not sure
whicb) had burst; ibat he had spo
ken to Mr. Greenfield, saying that ite
break was dangerous and might
cause an explosion if it were not re
paired, and tbat Mr. Greenfield told
bim that they must try aod get along
wiib it as it was until Sunday, ow
ing to the pressure of business. Mrs.
Uerizebacb says her husband was
greatly disturbed in mind on account
of this, often referring to it through
the week, and saying tbat he was
afraid every morning to go to work.
Vesterdav morning when he left
home he told her he never expected
to see ber again.
ANOTHER THEORY.
Two men who rescued two girls
say they bad beed told by a work
man in tbe starch room, on tbe sec
ond floor, ibat ibe fire was caused
by tbe upsetting of a kerosene lamp
n tbe room. Ibey asserted that the
nnelv-powdered starch used in tbe
manufacture of gum drops was ex
plosive, and that tbe eiplosu n was
ca03"d in this way. Tbey uid net
believe tbe boiler exploded, w-seriiug
if ii bad, it would have blown up tbe
sidewalk, beneath which it was situ
a'ed. A man named Stein says he
went down to tbe boiler room only
about five minutes before tbe fire oc-
urred to obtain a can of water
Uerizebacb, tbe engineer, was then
at bis post, and raking out his fire.
