ffroot the following pnrtkuiitn of ft trrfiblB
tfaliiniitjr are given : At thirteen hod, a half
minutes jiast one o'clock, r'. HV. today, our
city win s nr. led by a shock li'kB the oxplo
Hioii of sumo vast mi no durirtga sieiic, and
fiir many blocks in every direction from lite
llorihwedt corner of California and Mont
gomery stroeta the air was tilled with dust
una flyinir rubbish, and el83 came rat
thng down fiom every window as. if iho ex
plosion hud occurred in each separate build
log. The consternation whicii seized on Hi o
pjisicrs by Wells, Fargo & Uo.'s was terrible
Men; w in oil, childrcu. horsemen, 'pedestri-
iriia,-dray and express teams, without driver.',
(.'lima charing pell mell down the street in
Inex ricable cou'usion. As soon as the first
jlnniu began to subside, there was nn im
ineuse rush toward Wells, largo a 0o s
luildings, and' the sirens w-re for a few
Ktconds so blocked up ihat it was almost
impossible for the tire engines to be brouubt
into position to check the names, which
itere thought to break out in the seeded
lite explosion.
At first it was almost impossible to 'ocnte
the scene of the explosion, so terrible whs
the devastation, and so general was the ruin
ih tbe vicinity, but investigations made within
u few mi butt; 3 demonstrated the fact that it
occurred somewhere" in the rear of Wells,
' I'argo & Co.'s buildings, on tbe northwi st
, turner of Montgomery audtSalitorula streets,
and Beit's Assay ofiiee in ihe rear of Wells,
Fargo k Co.'s on Galiiornia be wecn Mont
gomery and Kearney streets Our reporter
gained admission through' the Union Olu-b
Iloonis over W. F. & Co 's, and nn reaching
the rear a scene which utterly beggars de
vcriptionrmet tbe eye. Xho large, one-story
structure continuing the ollice and billiard
room of the Uniou Club, over the ' arched
gateway which leads into tbe rear of- W. F
Ac Co.'s ollice, Irom California street, was an
entire wreck, the end being blown out, the floor
torn into snhnteis, the iron root- rolled
up like a piece of vail- paper, the rafters
hanging loose in every direction, the turnt
ture smashed, und billiard tables crushed by
the weight of debris. Tbe brick kitchen of
the C ub which stood'in the rear was gone
entirely, only fragments of the limbor lying
here and there amgng the debris which fillod
the area. 1 bo rear wall of Bell's brtck bull
ding, used as ai assay ollice, and- tb labor
atory in the' rexr of the assay office, were'
ruli ng in tragments every minute. The roof
was bangiug down unsupported on tbe fide
next the area, and tbe store house of Wells,
Fnrgo & Co. was lying a mere heap ofbrick,
plaster and broken timbers. . BlooJ was vis
ible in many placei, and men with beads or
