TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. Catastrophe at the Metropoli- tan Gas Works. The Purifying House Blown to Atoms—A Wonderful Escape from a Worse Disaster. The Primitive Tallow Candle in Great Demand, Christmas Purchasers Groping Through the Streets and in the Stores. ’ Grumbling Among the People and Guess- ing at the Blame. Thirty-fourth Street to Seventy-minth, from River to River, in Total Darkness or @ Flickering Twilight. There are few employments more full of danger @nd more unhealthful and degrading to all sensi- Diltties of enjoyment than that of the men who ‘work in the great gas works in great cities—nos over a volcano, but in the midst of one, whose sub- mance 1s aerial and anseen, and breathing the vile Jumes that, while they may at any moment be the cause of & treacherous death, are sure, at all events, to bring the victims to a slow one before their time. Most of these men die young. Do the ode love them? Itaoth not appear. They do pot 20 100k, Weak, TOITERING FIGURES, Clothes hanging loosely on, greasy and threadbare; faces sallow, haggard, smutty and thin, with eyes ‘that he sunken and inert in their sockets—these aro @ne creatures who lpperil their lives in the task of manofacturing light for our city. Such men grow dull to the sense of theiryhardships—a dulness which prevents them from complaining often of 11s con- @ant presence. But it still remams, and haunts every moment in which they are at work. ‘Tne gas houses in the city are wholly unsale, as now conducted, and tne living death that is ever going on within them 1s made less horrible in seeming ‘ompared with the death that only waits the beck @f chance, ever hauging over them. Yesterday afternoon A TERRIPIO EXPLOSION Serrified everybody in the ne'ghborhood of Eleventh avenue and Forty-second street, Itis here that ts situated the gas works of the Metropolitan Gaslight Company, whose office is at the corner of Broadway and Forty-second street, 1n the immediate vicinity the habitations are almost all tenement houses, many storles in height and crowded with haman beings. Ranged immediately opposite is a iong row of these dwellings, aud in a diagonal direction from the works, on Tenth avenue, are many more of the game class, At five o'clock yesterday afternoon the workmen ‘employed in the “purifying house’’ of the gas works ‘went home as usual. There remained then in eharge of this department but one or two men, who acted as the watch, and in ane office—a part of the same building—were seve- Fal of the officers of the works. It 1s usual to sus pend work in the “purifying house” at five o'clock, Sor the very natural reason that to use lights would ‘be dangerous.

Ix DARKNBSS: The effect of the accident, which was gerpabie to every one who was above Thirty-fourth street last night, was the absence of light in streets, dwell gs or stores.

As thetime rapidly draws nigh for the final dis- position of the case of Lochy Ostrom, Puughkeepsie’s wonderful maiden miser, public interest in the mat- ver increases. The information bas already been made public that although Jemima McKibben has been granted letters of administration as the only heir, yet a lotter has been received from one A. 0. Davenport, of Texas, which, if proven, will oust Jemima McKibben. This letter purports to have been written by “‘Locny” towards the close of her life to {his man Davenport, in which she gives bit all her property. Mr, Davenport answered the letter, directed it “Lochy Ostrom, Poughkeepsie.” Thestory goes that it reached here after Lochy’s death, Coming into the hands of one of the Post Office clerks who was cognizant of Lochy’s demise he wrote on it, ‘*‘Lochy is dead,” or that in sub- stance, and sent it to the Dead Letter Onice. There it was opened to discover the sender, then closed again and forwarded to Mr. A. Belmont, Gonzales county, Texas. in safety, and I am iniormed that ne 1s way here to demand all that ia left of th miser’s worldly amounting, in all, to thirteen thousand dollars. It was ik inventoried ‘a1 about twenty thousand dollars.

U. Davenport is after. Thus it will be seen that the final accounting for the miser’s estate will be surrounded witn aificuities on all sides, ym the commencement to the present time this case has been one of the most remarkable on re- cord, and fature developments are awaited with great interest, “@OING HOME PROM THE BALL.” Cogan’s Hall 18 on the corner of Eleventn street and First avenue.

Another Side of the Story—Carrie Not So Pure as She Has Been Represented—The Exami- pation Adjourned. Yesterday afternoon the examination room of the Yorkville Police U ourt was crowded to repletion by a crowd of persons who were desirous of hear- ing the examination tn the case of Carrie H. Moore, who, as already reported, was abducted, as it was alleged, by one William Dennis, Among those present were several women of doubtful reputation who were to appear as witnesses in behalf of the prisoners, One of these was ® Woman named Grace Elliott, and was arrested in the court room as an accomplice in the abduction, Carrie made an affidavit against her to the effect that when she was taken to 143 West Twenty-sixth street by Dennis, one of the prisoners, Grace Elliott, volunteered to take them 10 522 Sixth avenue, on the refusal of Mme. Williamson, proprietress of No. 143, to give said Dennis a room at her place. The guardian of the abducted girl, Mrs, Adeline Howe, being sworn, testified that Carrie’s mother and father died while she was quite young; a sister of Mrs, Howe took charge of the chila; put Mrs, Howe, not wishing that her sister should have tne custody of the child, made appiication in the Su- preme Court to have Carrie Liga to herselt, which was done by Judge Ingraham, who, however, gave hee no order appointing her guardian, Mr, NesBIT, who og lor the defence, moved for the dismissal of the case, vecause Howe could hot produce the necessary papers appointing her Oarrie’s guardian, he motion was, however, refused, and the exammation of Mra. Howe was continued, Currie was arrested some time ago and sent by Judge Shanaicy to the House of the Good shepherd for having remained away from home with another Mrs. Howe dentea that Carrie was at that ‘ume taken from @ panel house in Greene street, Carnie was then cross-examined, and in addition to what she before testitied, which has already been eee she stated that after leat the house jo. $22 Sixth avenue she went home with @ school- mate nained Maggie Thompson, residing in Twelfth street, between first and Second avenucs, on ‘Wednesday last. The following day she went to the Rink, and remained theie untu found by the lice ol the Nineteenth precinct, who took her ome, She knew @ girl named Emma smith, an inmate of a panel house corner of Hous- ton and Greene streets; she was acquainted with Bmma in the House of the Good Shepherd; she was arrested in a house in Greeve street, where she went with a ae named Rebecca Hull, The woman wuo Kg t this house asked her to remain there with ber. She refused, when ine woman attempted to force her mto @reom. She screamed, when Oflicer Carroll, of the Eighth precinct, came in and rescued her. The ofticer did not arrest all he found 10 the house, but simply took Rebecca and anotuer girl; she was then sent to the House of the Good Shep- herd by Justice Shanley. While in the shanty, and alter recovering trom the effects of the chioroiorm, she did not break open the window to call for help; the window was too small to get through, She lai down and slept until Dennis came for her again. She then gotintoa carmage, which took her 143 Weat Twenty-sixth street; but sie did not ask the driver to save her, nor did she call for help while being driven from the shanty to the house in Twenty-sixth street. While in this last-mentioned house Grace Elliott curied Carrie’a air aud gave her a spawl, which She was still wearing in Court, After arriving at the house No, 522 Sixth avenue she gov out of the carriage herseli and followed Grace Eliott and venus Up stairs to @ room on the third story. When she went there she did not know it was a house Ol prostitution, She knew though if it had been to Thirty-sixth street she Was taken she would lave known it was & house of prosutuuon she was going to, vecause all the houses in that street are and every girl in ber school is aware of the same fact. The Rey. Mr, Dunham, Pastor of Christ church, corner of Thirty-titth street and Fifth avenue, lett the Court with orders that Carrie be sent immedi- ately after the examination to the House of Mercy. He evidently felt grieved at the rather bold manuer in which the girl gave her evidence, which influ- enced the minds of those present very unfavorably. She further stated that she went out twice walle in Mrs. Florence's house, at 622 Sixth avenue. The examination was allowed at this point to lay over until some fature day. THE ERIE WAR, pws ere : The Erie Company’s Side of the Story. The despatch from London published in the HeERa.p of yesterday regarding the proposed oust- ing of the present management of the Erle Railroad bas naturally created much excitement among the officials of the road, “One story ta good until an- other is toid,’”? and, of course, the Erie officials desire to “say their say” im & matter so im- portant to themselves ss well as to the public at targe. Of course, their version of the condition of the affairs of the road differs widely from tnat of the Engush bondholders, and while the Magnates of Erie say they are perfectly content to let the law take its course in regard to who are really entitled by right to manage the road, they are, nevertheless, anxious that the public should ncap THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY, which 1s told by them as follows:—The Erie Ratlway Company leased the Atiantic and Great Western Railroad, agreeing to pay @ certain rental for the use thereof for @ certain length of time, After a fair trial the oMciais of \he former found they were losing money by thg lease, and, therefore, notified the managers of the latter that they should relinqnisn the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad on the Ist of August last, which they accordingly did, The capital stock of the latter road is said to be some $70,000,000, chiefly controlled by James McHenry and Messrs. Bischoffshem & Goldschmidt, of London. The imterest on the amount would reach in round numbers $5,000,000, double the amount that the Erie Ere claim the road 1s able toearn. The length of the road is some four hundred and fiity miles, ana as there are no large cities upon it the local earnings amount to but littie, Without the trafilc of the Erie Ratiroad, therefore, by which through freight is ae upon the Atlantic and Great Western Road, the latter would be of but lit tle value. Hence the desire of the above namea parties to obiain control o1 the Erie Road, ANOTHER REASON for the latter, say the Erle people, is that the Erie has a lease of the road from Dayton to Cincinnati, a distance of some forty miles, It will therefore ve seen that the Erie Road has the Allantio and Great Western at ita mercy by reason ol controlling it at both ends. The Erie people contend that the Engiisn bondholders above alluded to wish to obtaim control of the Erie for the purpose of saddiing the $70,000,000 stock of the Atlantic and Great Western Koad upon it. The Erie Road, its erty Say, will next year earn a surplus if $3,000,000, which, im the event of McHenry & bo. *s obtaining control of it, would be used to pay @ part of the interest on the bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western Koad. As the combined capital stock of the two roads would amount to some hundred and seventy million dollars we earnings would be entirely insufficient to pay the interest on ita bonds. Thus, say the Erie oficials, the desire of the English pontolders 1s not so much to improve the management Of tne Erie Road as it isto put a value ou the $70,000,000 worth of Atlantic and Great Western bonds, the reai value oJ whioh is very smali, This CUNNING SCHEME on the part of the Englishmen, say the Erie men, would result in pushing the value of the Erie bonds much lower than it now 1s, and would place one of the great avenues of trade vetween this city and the West in the bands of foreign capitalists, who Would have no interest in running it so as to benefit either the metropoits or the travelling public, but whose chief ambition would be to make all the money out of it possible. Such is the other side of te story, as seen through the eyes of the Erie ed pee joth «parties are now bejore the siock- old rs, and, as they have “paid their money,” they cau ‘take their choice.’ NEW YORK CITY.

He received an excellent primary education, and entered the Freshman class at Yale in 1805, when but eleven years old, and graduated at fourteen, in a@ class remarkable for tne longevity and the distinction of its mem- bers. When sixteen years old he wrote a series of articles on the “Dangers Presenting from we Undue Multiplication of New States,” thus connect- ing himself with the newspaper press, He studied theology at Andover and law at Litchfield, Conn. His father, the Rey.

Committee. An adjourned meeting of the Citizens’ Reform Committee was held last night at their rooms in Montague street, Mr. Franklin Woodruff in the chair, The question, of course, which agitated the minds of the membpers of the Committee was the completion of the hew charter which they have haa under consideration for the past two weeks, The last proposition at the former meeting was tne change in the Board of alderman, having nine—one from each Assembly district—and a Board of Assist- aut Aldermen. Mr. PBRRY Moved that the candidates be eligible only after a three years’ reaidence in the district, the Aldermen to be elected on a general city ticket and the term of office be for two years. aes views were expressed upon this proposi- ou. Mr. HUNTER was of the opinion that It was useless to spend much ume on this charter, Mr. A. O. Davis said that the Aldermen should be few in number and elected throughout the entire city. An honest vote and honest menu were wanted. He was of the opinion that party feeling was losing its control over the public, Mr, BARNES said the Only way to have good om- cers was to put the domumant party so jar in the minority as to compel pro; pelsroper nominations.
