7MZg WQadlve w CENTRAL PARK,

Special to The Journal.
g New York. April 26.-Two New York horse
men have signifed their intention of sending
their trotters against time after the indoor rec
ord, 1854. which has stood for thirty years
and more during the horse fair races which
opened last Monday in Madison Square Garden.
The two are Albert de Cernea, who will try out
James L. against the mark, and George Wat
son, Jr., who hopes to Dandy Jim win. Each
horse has a mark Of 2:09A, and each is said to
be capable of better. They are rivals and will
meet to decide the NOTED question of supremacy
In the ree-for-all.
Each has been trained in company with some
twenty other horses in Central park for the
event. The park drives afforded a splendid
preparation, with their sharp curves to teach
the trotters to take the Gardens banked track at
speed

STATEN ISLAND SH4KEN
FuesCorhs Explosion Destroys Three
Buildings-Nearly Kills Man.

Three buildings were blown to pieces and one
man was probably fatally injured in an ex-
plosion at the works of the Consolidated Fire
works Company, at Graniteville, Staten Island,
late yesterday afternoon. George Smith, the
injured man, was taken to st. Vincents Hos
pital, Livingston. where It said last night
that he would not live. One eye blown out
and his face dsfgured. His address is un-
known.
The first explosion occurred in the magazine
shanty, where nearly five hundred pounds of
powder were stored. Smith was working alone
in this building at the time of the explosion 1t
Is thought that he smoking and dropped a
lighted match. When the magazine blew I'D
portions of burning wood We're thrown upon an
adjoining building nearly fifty yards away This
was filled with giant crackers. and less than
five minutes after the first explosion 1t was
totally demolished. A third building caught fire
before the arrival of the Fire Department and
was destroyed.
About two hundred men and women are en-
ployed in the works, and they were thrown into
panic. when the first explosion occurred There
was general rush TO get out of the main
building, and only the ccolness of some of the
older employees saved many persons from being
thrown down and trampled upon. The loss is
estimated at $4,000
