Jewott, Joseph A. Dean Charles Jewett and Orville D. Jewett, all of whom ‘were in most excellent health yesterday morning, ithe Girst and last were in eternity by sundown. ‘The piace was opened us usual yesterday morning, and’ Moses Iso, an employé, saw Orville D. Jewett, c@ho lived in Orange, N. J., come in and go up stairs ‘at balf-pasticigns o'clock, an unusually carly hour for bum. He wore a heavy Ulster overcoat, which he did aot take off before the calamity. The clerks, Messrs, ‘J. W. Silleck, Charles Taintor, Charles Pollock jand arthur Dean, , Joseph A. Dean’s son, ar- vived in due time and sat down to obusi- ness, After them and before ten o'clock came the other members of the tirm, who exchanged the customary greetings and betook them. Selves to their regular daily advocations. George W. Jowett and Mr. Doan sat at theie dosks in the roar or genior partner's office, Mr. Charles Jowett was in tne ‘front office looking over the house's correspondence, and Orville was restieasly roaming about the premises iFirst be was.to the front offes, then ho went upstairs, ‘again he returned and took some papers out of his deskin the front office; but he wore bis overcout ail tho time. ‘The two seniors George W. Jowett and Mr. Dean were quietly attending to thoir business tn the rear office, Mr. Dean sat at his desk, which taced the open door leading to the middie office and overlooked the clerk’s desks, which rangea in a direct Irae between the front und rear offices on the Burling slip side, G. W. Jewott’s desk ‘Was inside the door opening into the middle office, Bod that gentleman was sitting at it with his back to tue fire place on the ieft of Mr. Dean, it is thought that they had bad some conversa- ‘Hon concerning the proposed sale of Orville’s share in the tirm, which was to havo been perfected at ‘tleven A. M. yesterday. Mr. Doan had agreed, Judge Lathrop said, to give Orville $200,000 tor his interest, and the latter’s attorney, J. N. Sutherland, was to Dring the nocessury papers for the consummation of the transaction before avon, About ten o'clock Charles Jewott canie into the private office and com- Municated the resull of his perusal of the worning’s mail to thei and remained with the two seniors a short time, The clerks at tues desks in the middle office did not bear anything unusual within, Two of them of whom Arthur Dewo was one, could seo Mr. Dean writing at his desk whenever thoy raised their heads, They saw Charles come out, and J. W. Silleck, thé jas! , Said that George W. accompanied him to the frout reom for a tow moments, and there they parted bever to meet again in fife, Charles went- out, aud George W. returned along the middie chamver to the rear office, wher according to Judge Lathrop, Mr. Dean's iather-in-law, Orville D, bad already preceded bin. THR RXPLOSION. A few moments after Georges W. Jewett returned to the office, and while the clerks’ und cashier's were bent upon their ledgers, a trighttal explosion was heard in the reur oflico and tne piace was filled with smoke, Panic stricken, the clorks leaped trom their desks, and Mr. Silleck auw Mr, Deun, Sr., vegrimed and dazed, stagger across the middie office irum the door of the rear to the bead of the stairway, Mr, Silleck sprang to bis assistance and helped him down to the warehouse In the little office of which he was placed upon a lounge and Dr. Farrington, of the Astor House, was sent for, The other clerks did not kuow which way to turn for tho moment, In fact, every- body was too surprised and upset to be useful, The firemen of Engine No. 32, who hoard’ the explosion apd saw the volume of smoke burst from the’ office wiwdow, rushed across the way from their house, and two of them, Assistant Foreman Cvok ana Heory Murray, dashed up stairs to the apart. ‘The latter, just as he crossed the thresnoid of the rear olfice, heard wanther explosion, like the report Of a smal firearm, but could see uothing, Stumbling 1n, followed by Uilicer O'Dounell, of the First precinct, who camo trom the Fulton terry house, he saw OF rather struck against two bodies on the floor, fn that part of the room oear Mr. Dean's @exk ana right before the fireplace, He seized that nearest to him and draggea him out inte the widdie olfice.

Captain Petty stationed his officers at the doors and had ail the lower windows closed. Noone was admitted except the immediate “trends of the family and the reporters, ‘Those who stood in the stroets gazed at the shattered windows of the office and drew upon their imagination® to fll out tho dreadtul picture seen by those within, Whispers of murder and suicide scewed to come through the chinks of the) Suspicions of foul play aod s hidden tragedy Were vaguely binted from lip to lip. Something predeterminedly wrong had transpired in that little back reom everyboay thought, and the hun- dreds without, of laborers, cartmen, clerks and prin- cipals of other firms knew very weli that no ex- plosive material was stored in that warehouse, much leas in the private offices of John Jewett & Sons. “Who 1a dead?’ and “Who has escaped?’ were the eagerly put questions whenever an officer or a reporter came out To all of these the most unsatis- factory answers were given. The truth leaked out very quickly, however, And when it was known that only the two old geatiomen were inthe room with the younger man at the time of the disaster men gravely shook their heads and marmured dark inuendoes con- corning thatlast meeting of the trio, One or two went 80 far as to say that they knew there had been troubio ef some kind between the injured parties. in short nobody could be found who believed that tho explosion ‘was purely accidental, AFTER THK BXPLOSION, Fifteen minutes atter the explosion Dr, Farrington, of the Astor House, was in attenuance upon Mr. Dean, and Messrs. Cari & Strong, of Burling slip, druggists, sent over w large supply of lint and styptics, which were greatly noeded and of inestimable value Charles Jewett sent Charles Taintor down to ‘Staten Islana to break tho terrible news to George W. Jewett’s family, and then the attention of the police and other people was turned to the scene of the tragedy. The carpet was covered with a thick coating of s008, which had evidently been sBaken trom the chimoey of the open frepiace by the concassiun, and fragments of shell or conical bana grenado wore found in $partsoftne room, Their courses were wingulafly erfutic. Some pieces tore obliquely to the left from the spot on which the explosive had been dropped, Others flew to the right, tearing ‘through the® farniture, smashing portions of the wainscot and catting a fragment trom the side of the seatof ap armebair.
