DYNAMITE.

.V .-

Ao Explosion on the Grand Railway London. LoWDOK, Jan. 2.-—-A dynamite explosion ocourred undev the Grand railway fectweeu Gower street and Kind's Cross statlou at 9:30 this evening. The windows of a passing train were shattered and the gaslight put out. Beyond this thsre was no damage done, .The passengers were terrified, but no one was hurt. The t.ain resumed its journey after a delay of twenty-tive minutes.

The shock of the oxplosios was felt, by residents ot Eustoo road between 8t. Pancras church and Oudd street. Tne railway ruus r.he whole length of the E-.'.stoo road underneuth the roadway. A crowd speedily collected at the veuthh&ft at the head of Ossultou street, from which at the time ot tuo explosion a quanity of smoke issued. As soon as possible a number 01 porters were sent to the spot with lamps and appliances for oleariug the line.

The shock overthrew several wayfarers on the Esston road. It was with great difficulty that horses were restrained irom running away. The sat*, lights in Gower street stttion were put out. The ticket collector at the etatiou was thrown from hia box and the engineei who was working the incandtKant electrio light machinery wa6 thrown from uis scat three or four f^et, lanninR on his face. The Gower street platform was literally strewn with persons prostrated by the shock.

A Clew to the Perpetrator. LONDON, Jan. 3.—A passenger on the i' train that left Gower street for Kings

Cross station a few minutes before the time of the explosion says h« sa a men, who wore au ulster with fur collar and wide awake hat, enter the compartment next to that iu which he sat. The man carried a parcel apparently of considerable weight, wrapped in cloth of Auiericon manufacture. Shortly after the train left Gower street the nai let down the window of the compartment with aloud slam. He cot out at Far rington street, and walked away. He was then without the parcel. Passenger thouicbt the stranger had forgotten it and looked o?er the partition.between the compartments and dieoovered the parcel gone.

Newspaper Ccmmsr.t

LONDON, Jan. 3.—The Telegraph suys: "The explosion proves the renewed activity of the dynamitors and the necessity for renewed vigilance ou the part of the* police. The only effectual means for stopping these outrages and detection the criminals is to offer such a reward as will induce those who conspire with litem to betrafjrtbem."

The Daily News says: "It is remarkable how all these eftorts for mischief fell snort of their mark through the .. alarm and sense of insecurity among the perpetrators of the outrages themselves.

Whatever is the source of the mischief however it would bo a relief to know the authorities are on the track of the perpetrators."

AND NOW iHE PHRENOLOGISTS.

An Amusing Scene at the Executive «*•-. Mansion in Albany. AUJAKT, Jan. 3.— As tbe lamps were being lit in the Executive Chamber toward dark yesterday a young mm in a spring overcoat attracted some attention by skirmishing eround the Governor in a "mysterious sort ot a way. He hovered around the President-elect, flret on one aide, then on the other, now taking a front view through a pair ot black rimmed eye glasses, and now a rear view, all the time makiDg notes on a ?lip of paper. Jut-i as he was about to swoop down on his unsuspecting victim, au attendant entered and cornering the strange individual de manded his business. The fellow coolly explained that he was a phrenologist and had come to examine or to take obE rvations of the Governor's head. As he was allowed to feel the bead, he was taking down such dots as ocular examination afforded. From his notes he read: find the Governor has great powers of insistence, and tbn bump ot self-reliance. is unusually well developed. That and the organ oi proseveranca are the most prominent characteristics he possesses. It his head does not belie him he will make a strong President." The phrenologist expressed great regret that the Presidentelect declined to have his head examined. After the departure of this genius came a gentleman

by the hand. The lad is at present an attendant at the ochool for the Blind in New York, where Cleveland taught when a young man. The Governor received Mr. Lottus and his son kindly, patted the boy on the head and he, in the fullness of childish admiration and longing said, *'I only wish I could see you now. If I could only see." Not a word was spoken for a moment, then the father silently held out his hand and the exlra warmth of the Governor's grip showed that there was some subtle bond of sympathy oetween them.

AERIAL TOftPEOOS.

Destructive Air Machines That Will Revolutionize Modern Warfare. PAJU?, Jnn. S.—^The Pasia papeis of Friday published a description of a re poi ud inventionjof the aeronaut M. GodAid, which, if really what is said should be realised, is likely to vevolutioaise modern warfare. The invention in question is au aerial torpedo boat of 9,000 cubio feet, whach can be inflated in flft««n minutes, 6le«red and stopped ai the caprice ot the balloonist, and cababls ot avoiding the shot and shell of the enemy. It is so constructed that it '.could hurl a ion weight of exploj.ives.on an army with mpuuity. The aeronauts with whom your corrapendentdiscussed the invention were inclined to regard tba most of M. Godard's reported statements as nonsense. It was inconceivable, said one authority that a baloon of the kind de scribed could be made to light as rise above cannon range and yet be abla to carry anything like a ton weight of explosives. Besides, he went on to say, even granting thai M. Godard had the delightful freedom of movement which he says he has, it is absurd to talk ot hurling huge projectiles on aa army. A tew bottles of nitro glycerins would suffice.

Unemployed Workmen Hold a Meeting at the Court House.

They Want the Council to Give Thtm Some Work so They Can Support Their Families

•A mening of unemployed workmen was held last night at court house to devise some means of bettering their eondition. There were about ISO present. R. A. Nott, ex-keeper of the station house, presided. The crowd had some difficulty in finding a place te meet. The call was for tbe court house. A large number collected at the doors as early as 7 o'clock, but the doors were locked and they couldn't get in. Tbe old Atlantic Theatre was 6Uffgested an# the crowd marched up Main street te that establishment, but its doors were bolted too and no one knew where the key could be found. Tbe crowd stood around in the rain for ten or fifteen minutes and a reireat was then made to tbe eonrt house again. Tbe marching baek and forth of the crowd attracted a good deal of attention and curiosity, but few knowing what it was all about. The crowd found the court bouse doors still looked and they waited in the rain another ten minutes for the arrival of a man who had been dispatched for the keys. Mr. George A. Schtal, becoming acquainted with the situation, very generously threw open bis ball on the southeast corner of Third and Ohio and the crowd filed into it. After the meeting was ealled to order the following petition for signatures was read: To the Honorable Mayor and Commoa

Council of the City of Terre Haute GBHTLBMRN: We, the undersigned, mechanics and laborers, being out of employment, and having no other means of supporting our families exoept by our labor, do hereby petition and request that your honorable body take soma steps, either by furnfsbing employment or snch other means as you may devise, to give immediate relief, as the under' signed petitioners are now in distress, and whose families are suffering for tbe want of the necessities of life.

Then some one saw tbat the court house was lighted up and the crowd tramped aeross tbe street again in tbe mud and rain. About 100 signatures were secured to tbe petition. Amotion was earried tbat a committee of one from eaeb ward be appointed to circulate tbe petition and get more signatures to-day. The committer consists of tbe following persons: First ward, James Fitscibbone Second ward, D. Jl. Smith: Third ward, Benjamin Adams Fourth ward, H. Peacock Fifth .ward, 8. K. Christy Sixth ward, John Timmons.

Tbo petition will be presented to tho city council to-night. Another meeting will be held at tbe court., house on Thursday night.

•rv RELIEF FttB WORKERS-

Employment for the Unemployed Among Us. A great inanf men who are able and willing Utwork are out of employment at the present time. There is no doubt of this. Daily men applt at the office of the "Society for Organized Charity" aokint for work. Tbey state that tbey have no emplojment have tried to get something to do and failed and arc now really in need. Investigation, for tbis society assists no oce until after an investigation and a venfieation of tbe statements of applicants, has shown that they are telling a true story of want and suffering. A serious problem confronts the people, but one which can be solved by patient endurance on the one hand and by helpfulness on tbe part of all. To begin with, much might be accomplished if every one having any work to bo done, but 'wbich they expected to put off until spring, would hurry matters up a little and have it done now. It can be done cheaper now than it can be later and it would really b» doing a kindness to some man wanting something to do to tide bim over until tbe general resumption of business in the spring. It ia proposed tbat tbe city council open a stone yard, where stone can be broken tit for use on tbe streets. '1 he suggesupn is a good oce. But it would be advisable to place it under tbe charge of tbe Society lor Organizing Charity whico can, mueh better than the polloe or any other instrumentality of the city, see to it that the work is fairly distributed among the deserving. Wilh some snob arrangement it would accomplish much good. j. "J, 1
