NEW YORK'S BIG EXPLOSION. 



The news of the frightful blow-up on 

 Black Tom Island in New York har- 

 bor has been widely disseminated by 

 the newspapers and no general descrip- 

 tion is called tor now. But our readers 

 will be interested to learn of its effect 

 on greenhouse glass and store fronts 

 in New York and surrounding terri- 

 tory. Fortunately the damage in this 

 respect, so far as we have been in- 

 formed, was light, comparatively, 

 although no doubt there are many 

 sufferers whose loss has not been re- 

 ported to us. In the uptown district 

 the only damage of which we are ap- 

 prised was the total destruction of 

 the large front windows of Walter P. 

 Sheridan and P. J. Smith on West 28th 

 street and the loss of one side of A. H. 

 Langjahr's window nearly opposite. 

 Downtown the damage was much more 

 severe. Cordlandt street was badly 

 wrecked and this included the large 

 plate glass show windows of Peter 

 Henderson & Co. The only damage on 

 Vesey street was to a fanlight in Mac- 

 Niff's, but Barclay street was hard hit, 

 Stumpp & Walter Co. losing their big 

 plate glass windows and August Rol- 

 ker & Sons having two panes in their 

 office windows blown out clean. On 

 Chambers street, Burnett Bros, lost 

 their entire show window and A. T. 

 Boddington escaped with the smash- 

 ing of some skylights. 



The heaviest damage was done in 

 Jersey City. Peter Henderson & Co. 

 had about 750 lights of glass broken 

 in their greenhouses. Robert Leach 

 on Garfield avenue, who is nearest to 

 the scene of the explosion, suffered an 

 estimated damage of from $1,500 to 

 $2,000 in broken glass. William Key- 

 ser on Randolph avenue, suffered to 

 the extent of about $500. Patrick 

 O'Mara, who resides in Jersey City, had 

 nearly all the windows in his house 

 shattered and the front door wrenched 

 from its hinges and broken. W. G. El- 

 liott, Monticello avenue, had his flower 

 store windows blown out. All are grate- 

 ful that none were cut by flying glass. 

 All in all, the contingent damage was 

 very light, considering the tremendous 

 force of the explosion, the fact that 

 the windows were sucked out rather 

 than blown in, being largely account- 

 able for the trifling Injury to window 

 contents, etc. 



We learn in a general way that 

 many flower store windows other than 

 those we have mentioned, in .Jersey 

 City, Hoboken, Brooklyn and other 

 outlying communities were broken, but 

 details are lacking.
