ANOTHER FATAL EXPLOSION CASUALTY Explosion in a Store of Fireworks on Broad- ‘way—Son of One of the Proprictors Killed— Cause of the Explosion a Mystery—Damage te Stock and Building. In the way of fatal casualties explosions now take the precedence. Another explosion occurred in the city yesterday—the third in the late series of this class of disasters. In ite results it was happily less fatal than those we have had so recently to chronicle, there being only one life lost; but it happened at a Plaee and under circumstances where such an occurrence would be most likely looked for. ‘The scene of the explosion was at No. 304 Broad- ‘Way, at the store of Messra, W. J. Lyon & Co., deal- ers in fireworks, and where this class of goods was exclusively offered for sale. The person losing his life was Lawrence Ladiow Lyon, @ young man, twenty years of age, and aon of the senior proprie tor. The following are the particulars of the casual- ty as far as can be ascertained up to the present time, though it 1s possible—and it is certain such will prove to be the case—important additional light will be thrown on the subject at the Coroner’s inves- tigation to be held on the remains of the unfortunate deceased :— It was a fow " ternoon, *in eaeca Meme .

O. Bartlett appearing for the applicant and Messrs, Allen and Bliss for the Board. Tt was stated by Mr. Bartlett that he was prepared to show by the Leptinipny of leading vit siclans of the city, taken before the referee, and by the evidence of practical men, that the original report of the Inspec- tor could not have been true. He was ready to show, also, by the sworn testimony of the Engineer of the Board, that the order which was made was never in- tended by the Engineer to be made by the Board, but that all he wanted was a rescinding of the resolution requiring that said lots strould filled up, He Stated that nothing had been done as yet to compiy = the order of the Board, and that nothing would lone, A commissioner remarked that according to the second report of the inspector, there did not appear to be any just foundation for the attirmation of such an order. Colonel Bliss, after a brief discussion, then offered the sulowtne resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That no further cea tion with sald order (No. hereby rescinded.
