About 9.30 o'clock, while thousands of pedestrians were wending their way along Chestnut street, near Ninth street, they were startled by the sound of a tremendous explosion in the neighborhood of the Postoflice. It was severely felt near the Girard House, several of the buildings being badly shaken.
