7 IS WORSE THAN GUNPOWDER." A Wharf AOO Feet Vouf Blown to Hard a Put Clai. la the City. Almost Every llotiso Damaged. EE11T 1E.MI.. SCEIES AT THE Semt of tit Dta.

iadin Eatra by Uiarkt. The following are the details of the terrible explosion at AspinwalL a brief account of whk-h vre had by telegraph last week: From the Panama Star of the I3th The European arrived at Asplawall on the morning of the 3d instant, and oa the afternoon of the same day came alongside the Bail road Company's wharf, generally uaed by this line, and eommeneed diacharKing her cargo. Nearly, if not all, the local freight had been delivered, when, about seren o'clock, on the morning of the 8d, a territte explosion occurred oa board, which tore away the upper part of the (hip, and blew several large plates off the side. The wharf at which the Teasel was unloading, and which was some four hundred feet long, waa literally torn to pieces; the superstructure was completely demolished to within a hundred feet of the freight-bouse, and hardly a plaak remained in the entire length of the structure that was not wrenched from its fastenings. Immediately tn front ef where the vessel lay a gap was out the wharf, plies, planking, Ac, all disappearing.

The ship and wharf both caught fire and the latter was saved from entire destruction only by the exertions of several citizens, who got the tire-engine to work, and after a few hours extinguished the flames, regardless of the risk they Incurred from another explosion of the burning ship. The P. R. K. splendid freight-house Is left a pile of ruins.

The force of air cansed by the concussion seems to hare raised the roof which was constructed of iron and slate "upward a few feet, its own weight bringing it down with immense force into the and carrying with it both the end wails, leaving the house, excepting the side walls, which sppear but little, If at all injured, a macs of ruins. It would be difficult to imagine a more complete wreck than that presented by the frieght-Bouse and wharf. Bcareerr a tmildlns: ln the place escaped without more or lees damase. those of a substantial nature suffering most; nearly all the brick and stone buildings were badly Injured, bnt the freight-bouse is the only one we have heard of which has been rendered uninhabitable. Hardly a whole window of glass remains in the city, and the destruction of glass ware, crockery and such like is really wonderful.

Although many vessels were lying in close proximity to the European at the time of the disaster, none excepting the Carribbean of the same line sustained any serious damage. The last nnii vessel was moored at the opposite side of the wharf from the European and received very serious injury. Her hull externally appears untouched, but the effect of the concussion internally was very severe. We are assured that some immense iron girders nearly twelve Inches deep waaaav' snapped offlike a pipe stem, thirteen of her fraines were broken, and knees and braces of the heaviest timber were torn from their places. The strain upoa tha ship must Lave been of Immense force, and nothing but the euperior build and structure of the vessel saved Tier from beta? knocked to pieces.

All her boats, and in fact every thing of a fragile nature, were rendered uncle. The most awful part of the catastrophe was the dreadful loss of life and suffering attending It. Of the number or killed and missing It Is Impossible to give a correct estimate, but from present data the number may aaieiy rte nut down at hfty, and is, we fear, more likely to prove over this number than under it. Of the forty-one men com- riving the crew of the European, nine ave been killed and twelve are missing. Two clerks engaged on the wharf, Mr.

Swalnson, of the West India and Pacific Steamship Company, and Mr. Cairo, of the fan am a jtaiiroaa company, were doid instantly killed, and of thirteen native or Jamaicans employed on the wharf, and in the freight house, none are supposed to nave oeen saved; Deaiues it 11 believed a small franir. of native laborers who had gone on board the unfortunate steamer nave met the fate of the others. It will be several days before a correct estimate can be made of the loss. Many bodies were no doubt throrrn into the water and picked up oy $narx, vnue otnert are tun ourtea beneath the ruing of the freiaht house and vharf, or went dawn with the ill-fated ship.

The scene In Aspmwall. after the first explosion, can not be described it was harrowing In the extreme. While the ruins irave an air of desolation to the place. the mangled and lacerated bodies or pieces ot bodies to De met witn in every direction for a sreat distance around the ruin of the disaster were heart-rending, and the suffer ings or tne poor mortals crusnea ana bruised, in whom life was not extiuct, was really dreadful. Fears being entertained that a second explosion would occur, and as the cause of the disaster was still unknown, and none of the officers or crew or tne snip were left who could give any explanation of its cause, it was thought best to have the burnirur shlD towed Into the stream.

1 ne Boval Mail steamship Tamar, which had anivctl the evening previous, immediately got up steam and prepared to tow out the burning ship; but before this could be accomplished another explosion took place, though not of aufflcient force to cause any injury. It was supposed to be the maga zine, wbirn eoniaineu a snuui miaum, ut powder for ship's use. The Tamar then made fast to the burning hulk, and towed her out. The two vessels had barely reached the opposite side of the bay when nanfler e7ri2uatVi. ntorc terril'le than the Jtrt, occurred, but, fortunately, the ship being far from the city and in deep water, no harm resulted, me uuu, eauiustuu is supposed to have broken up tne nun, as in less than half an hour after it occurred the unfortunate ship went down.

The top of her smoke-stack is the only part of her now visible. At first the cauae or the explosion was wrapped In mystery, and as no one was saved from the wreck who could give any satiKlaetors exnlanauon all was left to con jecture. A boiler explosion waa Impossible, as there was no steam on the mala boiler, and there was no necessity to use tne engines, a the ship had been rytng at the wharf over eighteen hour discharging cargo. Gun powder seemed most plausible, bulihere was none known to be on board, excepting a few pounds ln the magazine for ships' use, which could not possibly cause so much destruction. If any were on board it const be under, a falsa bin of ladbng, as none appeared on the ship manifest.

Two lengthy- communications hare appeared ln the Cincinnati Contntcrciaf.over the signature of William Burnet, containing grave charges of fraud and corruption sgainst Major-general Dana and a General Brayman, aad sundry other officers.

The Union men of Ohio, as, indeed, the Union partr of the country, demand that these frauds should be exposed and the crimlnsls punished.

The following details, additional to those published tn our morning edition, have been- wathered relative to the sad catastrophe on the sound on Wedateeday morning: Air. H. L.

Tracy, the first pilot, who was In the heel-hous at the ttuie of the accident, with the wheelman, John Carpenter, states that at about three o'clock on Wednesday while, the steamer was Fiurxuing her regular course, just opposite lunttaeton. Long Island, he perceived about l.uuu feet from hit port side the hade of a dim light on the sail of a coming toward the city of Norwich. I He immediate! hove the wheel to port, and slowed speed, stopped. and then backed the boat. But the sailing ves.nl oooiinued straight ahead, and with terrible force struck the City of Norwich In her forward the port side, tearing away her guards, and staving in her sides, sinking herself t-hortly afterward.

He immediately blew three whistles, as a signal of distress lo any vessel that might be ia sight, or bearing distance, and endeavored to turn the head of the vessel toward Huntington beach, distant about two miles and a-balf. confiding in the strength of the forward water- tight bulkhead to keep the boa afloat until she could be run aahara. Site careened, however, to port, and could not be. managed. By this time passengers and crew were all aroused, and came from their Lents half clad, and trembling with fear.

ln the mean time the waters continued to rush into the aperture made by the sailing vessel, and, in about ten minutes from the time of the collision, reached the lower furnaces, causing the burning co.tls to be. thrown on the decks and timber-work of the steamer. In the twinkling of an eye the engine-room was one mass of flames. ith wonderful rapidity tbey spread to the upper decks, and enveloped the entire fore part of the vessel. At this moment the confusion and consternation among the passengers and crew utterly defy description.

Captain Sturgis and his officers seized hold of whatever life-preservers tbey could catch from the flames, and distributed them among the persons on deck. The crew had become unmanageable, and the captain's orders for the safety of the pasecngers were not heeded. Huddled together at the stern of the vessel, each one intent on saving himself, regardless of what fata might befall his neighbor, the fear, stricken men and women stood regarding the slow but sure approach of the roaring flames to the pnly part of the vessel that yet remained intact. Some, preferring to risk life at the mercy of the waves, did not wait till forced into the water by the fiery element, but plunged into the surging billows and seized hold of whatever straw seemed to hold out a hope of safety. The shrieks of the two or three women on board rent the air with terrible shrillness, and the men stamped and cried, snd prayed and cursed, while others, utterly overcome by fear, sank down on the stern sheets, or slid over the guards listless and half-dead before dying, in the mean time, by the exertions of the more collected portion of the crew and passengers, the only life-boat that could be laid hold of and "arcely had she touched the water before the flames caiua roaring around the "fan-tail" of the steamer, forcing those who yet remained on board to jump off, or let go their grasp from the timbers near the stem and rudder.

The affrighted men and women in the water, some witn uie-preservers ana otn ers flosiins: on boxes and boards, now made for the life-boat, and in an instant she was sunk to the level of the water by the number of those who endeavored to crawl over the sides. The captain and the pilot did all in tneir power to aeep tne crew in subjection, and as they struggled snd fotiirbt to (fit into the boat begxed them to hang by the sides and not get into her, and all would be saved. But words were unavailing. The men tore at each other lik madmen, and struggled to raise themselve into the already filled boat. At last, i-truck by a heavy wave, the boat swamped, and every body was thrown into the water.

All efforts to right her proved fruitless, and during those swful moments more than one went down to rise no more. The scene that was now presented by the burning vessel and her surrounding was terrible in the extreme. The flames from the City of Norwich lit up the Sound for miles around, revealing a most appalling sight. For over a quarter of a mile on every side, the waters were covered with burniDsr boxes and bales of every dsecrip-tions, amid which the struggling, drowning outs, the swimmers, and those with llfe-preervers, were endeavoring to sustain themselves. At the moment that the flames first shot up through the decks of the Norwich, the propeller Electra, from Providence to this port, was about a mile or a mile and a half attern of the doomed vessel.

As the whistle sounds aof distress reached her, and the flames broke out on board of the City of Norwich. Captain Nye turned the bow of bis Teasel toward the scene of the disaster, hile the men were put to work in cutting loose the two life-boats on the decks. Being up to within an eighth of a tnile of the burning -vessel, the Electra was stopped, as it wss feared the floating mass of burning t-oxes snd cases would set the latter on fire ehculd sbecontinue to advance. Two boats were manned and lowered, and sent off to the rescue of the men snd women struinding in the water. A third boat was also got in readiness and shoved off by volunteers from among the passengers.

These three Iwats picked up every person that could be found in the water, and returned to the Electra in safety and for three hours afterward a boat was kept moving around the place of the accident in hope of picking up seme helpless unfortunate. Among the psasengers on board the City of Norwich was the wife of Mr. Samuel O. O-good. of Norwich, and her son, a lad of about twelve years of aire.

At the moment when the flames were burning fiercely at the forepart of the boat, he stood on the guards, wearing a life-preserver. Mr. Georjre Howe, another passenger, bid him several times to jump into the water, but be refused, preferring to risk his life amid the flames to the last moment. The latter gentleman felt inclined to push him overboard when be jumped himself; but, fearful of the responsibtrity, should the boy be drowned, he left him where he stood. He waa never seen afterward.

How he became separated from bis mother is not known. It is supposed that must bav lost the Ulan estf ter jumping off the boat, sjmL, betas; unable to swim, perished in the wares. Ills mother was teen floating about, sustained by a life-preserver, calling piteousiy for her sou.
