A morning pa per says that a defective boiler and a drunken engineer , -are understood to have been the cause of the disaster at Greenfield's candy factory. A little after 3 o'clock this morning one body was found, that of a well dressed, man, with delicate hands -probably a person parsing who was crushed by the falling walls. His head was under a heavy block of, Btone, which had "pressed it into ajshapeless mass. -It is stated that therewere about twenty ' custom ers m tne store at tne time, and the thoroughfare, on which the building faced, was crowded with people. Twen ty; one were reported to the police last Later. It is with the greatest diffi culty that the debris can be removed, on account of the crowd surrounding the ruins. Horse. car Jines in that vi cinity are blocked. Moyer & Knapp's engraving, manufacturing and litho graphing company's building, directly opposite fcrreenhtld & bon s, escaped with the loss of windows and doors. which were shattered by the explosion. Tbe upper part of the Grocers' Bank was completely gutted, and the marble front building, adjoining to Kogers, Peet & Co, had the appearance of old ruins, tne marble looting. as it it had been melted. The nve-story marble front buildisg, occupied by Rucket & Hendel and Josiah Quincy, dealers in earthenware, also by Day, Hoogland & Sliger, dealers in drugs, was injured by the explosion m having the iront win dows of the first, third and fourth fT ors blown in. The force of the explosion was so great that the iron frame work protecting tbe windows on the first floor was bent inwards. The crockery establishment of James Hineman, 66 Barclay street, was injured in like manner, as well as some of his stock. The front of the store of W H Mouta gue & Co, coffee dealers, on Barclay str et, was also damaged in like man ner, and the pavement, in front was torn away so that the engine room underneath was visible, Tompkins & Co. -paper dealers, 65 Barclay street, were entirely burned out. JNos 07, by and 71, Barclay street, were badly dam aged by fire and water, and several houses in Greenwich street were also badly damaged. Greenfield's loss is estimated at about $175,000 partly in sured. The rear walls were taken down so that laborers could dig out the ruins with safety, and look for the bodies. According to the records of the boil er inspector, two boilers of Greenfield & Son were examined in Nov 1876. Both were locomotive boilers and were tested to 105 pounds pressure, and were allowed 70 pounds. Engineer Phillip Herzebarger was last examined on the 13th of this month and was regarded as competent. A good boiler inspector visited the ruins to-day and found both boilers intact. The sidewalk under which the boilers were situated was not torn up nor destroyed. One boiler was found half full of water and the other nearly 60. The inspector said one ol the copper tanks, ntted with material for making' candy, must have exploded and broke a'l the lamps the building being lighted with kerosene and these added much to the rapidity with which the flames spread.

The article is THE GREAT WAR Suleiman Pasha Arrives in Constantinople With 10,000 Men Todleben to be Commander-in-Chief of the Rustchuk Army Prospects for a Direct Negotiation Decreasing Possibility of a Conspiracy af Constantinople. The Exctement in England The Leading New: papers Attempt to Allay it. v London, Ded .21 .The Times Vienna correspondent reports that Sulei man Pasha with 10,000 men has arrived at Constantinople from Varna. Ete goes to Adrianople to take command of the "army of Roume lia. Suleiman's- circuitous route is ex plained by the fact that conse quence of ice advBnowin the Balkan passes, me neavyj material is more easily traano twitt ay to Varna and thence by sea to Constantinonle. than by the more direct route. It is thought at Solfat that a portion of the troops from the quadrilateral have gone to Roumelia by land direct, as the Czaro witch rpports the Turkish forces outside of Rustchuk and on the Lower Lom withdrawn. The Times' correspondent at Bucha rest says the Czarowitch will probably return to Russia, when Gen Todleben will assume command in chief. The correspondent of the Daily News at Oraova, sends the report that Gen Todleben has arrived at Orsova to ar range the bombardment of Abakalach. This report seems doubtful. The Vienna correspondent of the Times telegraphs the following: "Since the failure of the Turkish note to the powers, the idea of direct negotiations between Turkey and Russia appears to find more advocateg. It is supposed that even Great Britain has somewhat abated her objeciions to such a course, and advised the Porte to try, if possi ble, to ascertain the Russian conditions. The Porte, however, seems to have lit tle inclination for such a course. All its energies seem bent on the de fense of Roumelia. It is thought also that the Turkish Parliament, to whi :h the Porte declared its intention of sub? mitting the question, will approve the negotiations." A dispatch to the Times from Pera, says : "The Russian concentration for an attack uponErzeroum on the north has failed and the attack is now impro bable. The Russians are suffering for provisions and forage." London, Dec 21. The Vienna cor respondent of the Times ' telegraphs : "Although all apprehensions of the Seraglio conspiracies and coups d'etat at Constantinople seem to have disap peared, tbe least thing is sufficient to revive them. Thus the unexpected ap pearance of buleiman Pasha at Con stantinople with 10,000 men has given rise to fear that something of the kind isnm pending. In- these-ettcu-mstaneea. it is not surprising that the Sultan and his government should seek support in Parliament, and make it share in the responsibilty for the course to be fol lowed." A previous dispitch said : "The Turkish Parliament to whom the Porte declared its intention of submit ting the question will oppose negotia tiations with Russia." The Times' correspondent continues: "This movement of Suleiman Pasha and other reports of the withdrawal of the Turkish field forces from about Rasgrad seem to indicate that in the quadrilateral necessary garrisons have been left to make the best defense they can. It appears, moreover, that their energies will soon be taxed for it is of ncially announced that Gen lodleben has been appointed commander-in-chief of the Rustchuk army. This looks as if the siege of Rustchuk were imminent Likewise Gen im merman will probably sieze the opportunity of advancing against Silistria. There is nothing as yet to indicate the destina tion of of the bulk of the army of the Czarewitch. It is to advance onShum la or to join the force at Tirnova, and thence advance across the Balkans. It will take some time before operations on a large scale will be possible, al though the movement of troops from Plevna in various directions has begun. Some days must pass before the influ ence at the front is felt. It is not suf ficient merely to send the troops neces sary to organize the whole supply ser vice for many miles. This is not so easy as catering to the same troops when at Plevna, where stores had been amassed sufficient to last for months. According to the latest accounts, the Successive appearance of snow, rain, frost and thaw had very much broken ud the roads in the Balkans, lhere is snow several inches deep at Bucharest, and the weather is exceedingly trying, . London, Dec 21. The Times' leading article is carefully directed to allaying excitement on eastern matters and counteracting tbe effect of the wild ru mors. It concludes: "No course can be more reasonable and obvious than that at this junctrre the government should desire to consult with Parlia ment as soon as it can without unneC' essary inconvenience, whether they contemplate interference or mediation or simply the means of securing a good position in the final settlement of the Questions. They cannot but feel the need of Parliamentary support. As soon as Parliament is called together we shall have the main considerations on all sides of the great issue forcibly stated and clearly argued. The nation will have an opportunity of weighing the various courses recommended to it. The ministry will see whether they can honorably assume, as they have on the whole bad a right to assume hitn erto. that they are carrying into effect the wishes of the country at large ; and both at home and abroad we shall see our way more clearly. It does pot seem necessary to look beyond these plain considerations in order to under stand why the ministers have decided to summon Parliament at the earliest convenient date." St Petersburg, Dec 21. The Qalos publishes an article upon the early meeting of the British Parliament, and the possible measures ; of the English cabinet. The article declares that Russia may await without anxiety the issue o: this political episode, and may quietly continue the work which she began in the firm conviction that British intrigue will in no wayhmder the triumph o xtussia.

If to b delivered free to any part of the country, 15 cents extra is to added. A fusl description and all particulars can be had by sending your address on a postal card to Orange Judd Company, New York ; or better still send them 10 cents (half price) for a post paid sample copy of the paper, which will give a tall description of the Microscope, and also much valuable reading and engrav ing, etc., and be richly worth far -more than its cost. A Yery Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by oar druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepa tine into this country, but as there are fifty deses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com- aint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all druggists.
