NAMES OF THE KILLED AND WOUNDED, INCIDENTS, &e. &e. &e. It is our melanchely duty, to-day to present to our -readers the details, as fer as they could be gathered sup to the time of our going te press, of one of the most ‘frightful casualties, attended with an awful destrac- ‘tion of human life, that ever occurred in York. ‘Thesccident oceurred at a quarter to ei o'dlock, esterday morning, by the bursting of a two hundred ‘Borse power boiler, in the printing press and machine shop of Mr. A.B. Taylor, Nos. 5 and7 Hague street. with- in a door or two ef Pearl street. As soon as the ex- plosion took place, we are informed by persons who witnessed the catastrophe, the whole building, which was six stories in height. was actually lifted from ite foundation toa height of six feet, ond when tt reached that elevation, it tumbled down, crushing in iva ruins « vast number. 80 great was the force of the explosion. that fragments of the building were scattered in every direc. ‘tion ; the windows in the neighborhood were broken ; and « large portion of the tront wall of the fated ‘Duilding was thrown with tremendous power into the houses opposite. In faet the building was completely cwrecked, hardly one briok being left standing on an- Other, with the exception of & solitary piece of wall eight cr ten feet high, as if to indicate what Aud been In the firm of Alvah B. Taylorj& Co., there were about 65 pereons employed Im addition to these. there were ‘about the same number employed in another drm in ‘the same building, namely, St. Jobu Burr & Co., hat- ‘ters. In the basement story was the engine and the ‘Dlackemith shop, where there were sfour pairs of bel- ‘Jows and about twelve men at work besides ( rissey, the engineer,and his brother. The engive connected with ‘the seccyd and third stories, where the machine sh>p ‘was situated, by means of shafts aud straps. The ground floor was occupied as a bat shop, and eight men worked at a table in front, of whom there {4 no account, ‘The fourth story also belonged to the bat establish - ment, and was used asa blowing room. The fifth story of the building was used as s carpenter's shop for mak- ipg models for the machive shop The sixth was oo- onpied by Mr. Singer, © letter engraver, who has ob- tained a patent for a new invention. It is believed ‘there was Do person in this etory at the time of the ex- plorion. ‘A building immediately in the rear, ccoupied as & ‘brush factory, and also asa watch case manufactory, ed the root aude portion of the wall thrown in by the Malling ruins. It wasin going to this buildiog that Louis Day, the Frenchman, was billed ‘he walls of the machine shop were very strong, being 20 inches thick. The building belonged to the Messrs. Harper, and wo wenderttand was mot inrured The stock and edgine, ke, we bave heard are insured. ‘The scap and candle factory of Hull & Co, in the rear, was coprideratly injured by the shock. So dreadful was the explorion that the windows in atveral Louses io Pearl street were brok: the feshes of 851 were smashed. A gentleman who was Jooking on at the time, informed us that the explosion was like the reports of two canvon fired in quick suc” coesion, one after the other. Doubdtiess the second re- port was (he crach of the falling ruins. Immediately after the explosion fire burst from the ‘promiscucus heap of bricks sca beams, and human Dodies wete seen with legs aud arms sticking out— some ef them dead, some living The fire alarm for the district was firet given, and then « general alarm, which brought the fremen from all parte of the city to the scone of desolation. Some plied the engines, while others assisted to get out as many as possible of those who were under the ruins, In a sbort time the fire was #0 far subdued that the fireme: ‘tually in removing the bricks and timbers; and towards 10 o'clock there was scarcely any fame issuing from | the wreck; but the heat was very great, and the great Aifficulty to be avoided was lest thore beneath the pile | other bond they might be burned to death by the fire; ‘and but little could be done to rave thore still living, catastrophe, scattered throughout the machii and the bat factory above tioned, in both of which a great many men and boys are usually em- ployed.

As it is, ever, the number of persons hilled {s dreadful to contemplate. In the machine shop and hat shop together, there ‘were usually about one hundred and thirty hands em- ployed; probably there were from ove hundred to one | hundred and twenty men and boys present aaa the time of the explosion. In the hat shop most of the hands were present, In thie establishment © good mavy boys were em- ployed—im the machine shep there were few The following is @ list of names, though not a complete one of the hands inthe machine shop :— George Ford, firet foreman, Robert King, eecond do, James Gilderoy, ‘Thowas Philips, Robdert Knowlton, Ge Seomee lt. of Thomas Vanderbilt, ldridge.

Capt. Dichett, of the Fourth ward station house, amd Assie- ould work more effee- | tant-Captain, were also very active. Weaslso observed Captains Wiley and Williams doing good service The Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, Mr Carson, was using bis utmost efforts; and, above ‘all and before all, was Zophar Mills, the praise of whom wae on every tongue. He was apy where and every where where any thing was to be done. Tke Recorder (Mr. Talmadge) was on the ground at ‘an early hour, and w! it was ascertained that the ropes which were used in removing the ruinswere used up, be on his account ordered a coll of Manilla rope for that purpose. In fact, he was unremitting in his endeavors to release the unfortunate cteatures who it was expected were under the ruins. As to Mr. Matsell, he was at the seene of the disaster without interruption, from the time of the explosion until the last. Were it not for the exertions of these two gentlemen, we have no doubt that the loss of lite would bave been much greater than it is.
