Central reorganization committee have

FIREWORKS START A FIRE.
A Big Building Burned as the Result
of an Explosion.

Lynn, Mass. July AT 1880 o'clock this
morning there was an explosion of fire
works in front of the L. a. May Compa-
ny's store in the Sycamore hotel block,
corner OF Union and Mulberry streets. at
a temporary counter erected outside the
store on the sidewalk. Immediately a
wholesale mass OF fire works were ablaze
and fusllade OF exploding rockets. can
non crackers. bombs. etc. startled ev-
erybody in Central square. a. Is. slim
son, VINO was in charge OF the fire works
counter, was knocked against the glass
front of the building. but not injured. The
flames communicated to the store Of the
l.. A. May Company and spread with
alarming rapidity The fremen did not
get the alarm right, and for nearly fifteen
minutes the flames had everything their
own way. A general alarm was finally
sounded Half an hour after the fire
works exploded the entire block. which
is four stories high. Of brick and about
100 feet front on Union street and more
than that in depth, was a mass of flames.
At y O'Clock the fire was under control
and confined to the Sagamore hotel block.
The heat caused an explosion which
blew out the plate glass front OF the l..
a May Company's store and injured one
of the firemen, Sidney Greenwood. quite
severely.
The bookkeepers in the l.. A. May Co. s
store did not have time to save their
books and accounts on the desks.
An eye witness claims to have seen a
boy light a bunch of fireworks with n
slow match, intending to throw them into
the gutter, but by accident he dropped
them into a bunch Of Roman candles and
rockets and started the general explosion
OF everything on the fireworks counter.
