NEW YORK, June S.-Thirty-six build
ings, comprising almost the entire plant
Of the Nordlinger-C Charlton Fireworks
company, at Granville, Richmond Dor
ough were blown up this afternoon, and
the entire fireworks plant practically
wiped cut of existence. Although the fire
which followed the explosion lasted for
several hours, the wreck was complete
within few minutes. No lives were lost,
and but three persons were injured, two
of them seriously. The loss on the build
ings will probably not amount to- over
IS, 600 as most of the structures were
small and cheaply constructed. The. loss
on material, raw and that made UP into
fireworks will amount to over 900. The
amount of insurance on the works is not
known tonight.
The first explosion occurred in the
rocket charging room. This was a small
building about twelve feet square. No
ono was in the building at the time, and
the first intimation the lis employees in
the works had Of what was to follow was
the bursting of the sides of the building
accompanied by an explosion. The roof
of the building shot into the air and
rockets exploded and flew In all direc-
tions They carried the fire into all parts
of the works. crashing through windows
and flying through open doorways.
The operators in the various buildings
rushed out into the yards. The flying
rockets, many of the greatest power,
made it almost as dangerous for the
employees to be out of the buildings as to
be in them. AS they rushed out explosion
followed explosion as the buildings flew
In the air. After a score of explosions
three heavy ones that shook the ground
for miles occurred. These were the three
storehouses In which supplies FOR the
Fourth Of July were being held.
