Loss of Life Terrible--Number of Dead Estimated at Fifty or More. Loss of Property a Million Estimated At Dollars. Half THE EXPLOSION New York, Dec. 20 -- An explosion immediately followed by fire, occurred at five minutes past five o'clock this afternoon in the immense candy manufactory of Greenfield A Sons, No. 63 Barclay street, which extends to the shape of an L to College Place. The better, which was under the sidewalk on the Barclay street side, burst tearing away the entire front, and scatterlarge number of girls of all ages were employed at the time In the building. The walls fell within a few minutes after the explosion. A policeman, who was on duty near the building, says he saw the front walls of the building five stories high, fall in the street. NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES AT WORK NOT KNOWN Mr. Greenfield, owner of the factory could give no ideas of how many were in the building at the time of the explosion, but thought about 110. Of These about fifty escaped by the Collegeplace entrance, and a small number got out through the skylights, walked over roofs, and got down the skylights of other buildings. EXIT OF THE BOOKKEEPER OTHER ESCAPES. The bookkeeper, who was on the Barclay street side of the building, was blown out through a window to the street and badly cut on the head. Several jumped from the second story and escaped with slight injuries, their fall being broken by policemen and citizens on the sidewalk below. No fair estimate of the loss of life can be riven to-night, but it must be large. CHARACTER OF THE EMPLOYEES The parties employed in the factory were principally young girls and boys from eight to twenty years of age. Owing to the approach of the holidays a double force was employed, one work ing during the day and the other at night. The force is changed at 5 o'clock, and the fact of the explosion occurring at live minutes past that hour renders it still more difficult to know how many who are the victims. The number in the building at the time of the disaster is variously estimated at from 100 to 300. ESCAPING ONE DEATH TO MEET ANrapidly it is feared that many not injured by the explosion were burned to death. The Barclay-street angle of the building has fallen to the ground, as has Nos. 65 and 67 Barclay street on the lower side and No. 61 on the upper side. Owing to the heat no search can be made for those burled in the ruins until to-morrow. SURROUNDINGS OF THE BUILDING. The factory building was in the form of the letter L, having entrances at No. 65 Barclay street aud No. 3 College Place. In the angle were situated the Grocers' Bank building and D. D. Tompkins's brown-paper warehouse, both five stories. LOSSES AND INSURANCE. The latter was also burned to the ground leaving the bank building the corner looming up along over the ruins. The bank building is only injured on the fourth and fifth floors, used as a dwelling by the janitor and several families, who lost all their furniture aud effects. The third floor, oc -cupied as law and other offices, was lightly injured by water, but the office of the bank, on the ground floow, fared no injury Tompkins' loss is not yet ascerThe loss of Greenfield & Sons estimated at $100,000. Insurance 70,000. A BRAVE, RASH DEED. No. 65 Barclay street was a frace building, with a cigar store on the first floor, the upper floors being occupied Colonel French for the last thirty years. Mr. French and family escaped. but the former left $10,000 in United States bonds in a book-case on the second floor. For engine No. 32 and of the Twenty-first to go and an ding package was found not be the bonds, when a second time they entered through the flames and smoke and brought out the bonds in safety. NARROW ESCAPES. A number of persons who escaped from the factory with slight injuries, had their wounds dressed in drug stores and went home. Some of the girls had their hair burned totally off their heads. CORRECTIONS OF EARLIER EXAGGERATIONS. The first reports were exaggerated in regard to the number or wounded. Only seventeen were brought to Chambers street hospital, and none to any other hospital. LIST OF WOUNDED AT THE HOSPITAL. The names of the wounded in the hospitals are George Meib, eighteen years; Peter Gorman, fourteen years; Otto Meib. seventeen years; Gorge Hansel, seventeen years; Joan Bomm, seventeen years; Frank Schwitsler, fifteen years; Charles Heilman, fifteen years; Edward Collins, eighteen years; George Sneider, twenty-seven years; Martin Conners, thirty-four years, and Gustave Meister, fourteen years; Wm. Thompson, aged fourteen years; Henry Hink, aged fifteen years; Dewitt C. Deforrest and James Doyle, aged six-. teen years. The following were taken to the New York Hospital: Joseph Ware, Joseph Glueker, Peter Stark, Joseph Serrald. Others have been sent to the Bellevue Hospital. G. F. Adams, aged thirtyfive years, foreman of the cream floor, was taken home badly injured. The wounded In the New York Hospital are: Peter Stark, age 32; Edward Collins, age 18; Otto Meib and George Meib, age 17 and 18; Frank Schatzstain age 17; George Houser, age 17; Joseph Scheunewold. age 43; George Schneider, age 30. The injured at Bellevue Hospital are: Harry Sunday, Barry

Linden, Tony Stalk, Philip Ridel, Geo. A. Adams. The firemen worked bravely, and the police arrangements were excellent. If the ruins are cool enough to-morrow a large force of workmen will be set to work digging for bodies. Great numcers of persons who had friends or relatives in the building say they are missing. A later estimate places the number of persons in the building at the time of the explosion at 170, including 20 visitors and customers. The boiler had been in use five years, and it is said Greenfield has been several times warned that it was unsafe. The loss Is now estimated at $500,000. WHERE THE GREATEST LOSS OF LIFE OCCURRED. The greatest sacrifice of life was among the girls, many of whom, from eight to fifteen years of age, were employed in selling, assorting and packing candies on the first floor over the boiler, which was situated in the basement of the rear end of the Barclay street wing of the building, and not under the sidewalk, as at first reported. None of those are known to have escaped. TO-DAY'S REPORT OF THE NEW YORK EXPLOSION. New York, Dec. 21. The number of lives lost by the Barclay street explosion and fire Is still undetermined, but it is believed that fully forty bodies now lie buried beneath the ruins. The removal of the debris, which was begun

at 2 o'clock, has proceeded so far that the street is clear to the outside of the sidewalk in front of the ruins. On the opposite sidewalk, lying under a bloodstained tarpaulin, are the bodies of a man and boy which were taken from the ruins on the sidewalk this morning. When found the bodies were lying in front of the doorway. Both had been, evidently, struck with the heavy stone capping, which still lay across the boy's face, and which It was necessary to lift before the body could be removed. THE BODIES RECOGNIZED. One body was recognized as that of Win. H. Bradley, 110 Eckford street, Brooklyn. The other was probably that of Wm. Bennett, a newsboy. The mother of the boy keeps a newsstand at Barclay street ferry, and sent him yesterday afternoon as usual for the last editions of the evening papers. He did not return, and was. It is now evident, passing the factory at the time of the explosion. Two hundred workmen, besides the firemen, are now digging in the ruins, and a strong police force is needed to keep back the great crowds pressing down upon them. The ruins could not be more complete than they are, for scarcely a fragment of the wall is standing, and indeed none whatever on the ground occupied by the main building a space of about one hundred feet square. ANXIETY OF THE PARENTS OF THE MISS ING CHILDREN. Early to-day the mothers, fathers. sisters and friends of the wounded and missing besieged the porters room of the New York Hospital, making inquiries for those whom they sought, and pleading for admission. The resident physician on duty since last evening, believing quiet necessary for the newly arrived inmates, gave orders to only admit a few of the apthe afternoon when the wounded would be a proper condition to converse. Three of the number have been enveloped almost from head to foot in bandages, and two had their hair burned so close to the scalp that with their swollen and blackened features they resembled negroes. Three mothers have been standing at the door since four o'clock this morning, making vain inquiries for their missing children, at last when one of the stricken creatures was on the point of leaving in despair, she encountered her daughter at the door, the meeting was touching. After a long embrace, they separated, and the young girl was afterward permitted to go up to the male ward, where she imparted the news of the safety of a brother to one of the maimed patients who bad worked with her in the shop. FOREIGN NEWS. The Times Seeking to Allay the Excitement on the Eastern Question. The Russian Suffering for the Want of Previsions and Forage. The Ministerial Difficulties in Italy Continue Unabated. Gen. Grant Visits the Buried Cities Near Naples. ALLAYING THE EXCITEMENT IN GREAT BRITAIN trading directent on ting the reasonable and obvious this juncture the government should desire to consult with Parliament as soon as it can, without unnecessary inconvenience.

I have gained the remission of my crime, good friends, and I feel that when life leaves my body my Saviour will take my soul home with him. I am going home to glory, glory in heaven, so good-bye, all." He next thanked his counsel, saying they had been like brothers to him.
