TWO WOMEN KILLED
OTHER PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED
Speeches Of Gov. Seymour, Gov Parker,
and Others, on the Occasion.

Pursuant 10 public CALL a large meeting Of Copper
heads Peace Democrats, &C., convened last even
ing at Union Square.
just as the meeting began TO get in order, large
calcium light near the stand in front OF the Maison
Dor6e, exploded with loud report, scattering its
fragments in every direction. Two women flor
ofsuch is aCopporhoad outdoor night meeting) were
knocked over and several other persons were scri-
ously hurt. Tho women were taken away by the
police and attended to by DR.. j. c. Peters, but sub
sequently removed TO Bellevue Hospital. One OF
them, named Bridget ORourke, residing at AL
West Sxteenth-sreet died before reaching the hos
pta; the other one-name unkOwn-is thought to
be fatally wounded.
George Edmonds and Charles Stanford were
slightly injured. They were conveyed 10 the drug
store at the corner Of Broadway and lith street,
and their wounds dressed. Mr.. Robert Grant, the
owner of the light and his son. were stunned by the
explosion, but escaped with slight bruises. A large
fragment of iron, weighing about 10 pounds, was
driven through the second story of the d" Maison
Dor6c," into room where number of persons
were sitting at table, fortunately injurng no one.
Several Of the windows Of The "Maison Doree "
and adjoining buildings were broken. Mr.. Grant
states the explosion was caused by the leaking OF
the pipe which led from the burner 10 the gas cham
ber Tho chamber had been filed with hydrogen
gas and previous to its being filled with oxygen
gas had been pumped out, but not ehectually,
she two gases thus mixing and escaping through
the leaky tube caused the explosion.
CHARACTERISTIC CIRCUMSTANCE.
As this was emphGticaly peace gathering, Mr.
David Aaron, residing in Oak-street, was shot in
the thigh by an unknown man, who made bis es-
cape. He was conveyed to the New-York Hos
pital, where his wound was pronounced serious
one
TIE POLITICAL PART or 1T.
There very large and fairly enthusiastic
gathering at the Square, called upon 10 ratiy the
Chicago nominations. Very naturally there was
an uncomfortable chill over the crowd when at a
late hour, they found that neither Mcclellan nor
Pendleton had yet accepted the nominations, and no
one could say by authority whether they would.
However the affair, subsequent to the killing OF
couple OF women, went off quite cheerfnlly.
