Attempt 70 blow Up q RAILROAD Train.


The New York Commercial Of Saturday
reported attempt to blow up a railway train
between New York and Philadelph
Our reporter examined this morning, at
the Office Of the train agent OF the Pennsyl-5
vania railroad, in Jersey City, an internal
machine recovered from mass OF baggage
which was blown up on train No. 80 yester-
day afternoon. The train left Jersey City
at $40 2. NJ. and had passed beyond Me-
tuchen, about TWENTY-FIVE miles distant,
when an explosion took place In the bag
gage-car, hurting trunks in all directions
aud setting fire TO the baggage. At Railway
the train was stopped, the fire extinguish-
ed, and orders given to throw out tue re
mains of shattered Saratoga trunk, when
A SECOND EXPLOSION TOOK PLACE,
causing renewal OF the alarm. With diff
Guilty the employees OF the road were induced
to resume their work. Nothing further was
discovered, aside from mantei clock with a
pistol attached, and bottle OF some kind OF
black fluid OF nature not yet discovered.
The hands on the clock had been adjusted
so that on reaching the figure twelve arough
wooden button was moved, thus exploding
a small breach-loading pistol made fast to
the top of the clock. The latter was dis

with the effects already described. An eX-
ploded copper cartridge was found among
the rubbish. .s
THE DESIGN OF THE INVENTOR
can only be conjectured. In any case, no.
thing resulted more than the fright occa-
stoned to persons on the train and damage
done to several TRUNKS. The railroad Off
Gals hoped to suppress all knowledge Of the
matter. in order that watch might be set
upon the person calling for the check at
tached to the internal machine; but in this
they were defeated. Nevertheless, a search
ing investigation is in progress. II the OBJ
iect was to destroy the train or the railroad
depot and cars when the train was expected
to stop. nothing but astupid miscalculation
of the inventor prevented success. The
plan was cunningly devised, but in its me-
chanical execution the means used were OF
the rudest description. The villain concern
ed is apparently a fit associate for the Bre-
merhaven fiend, were he living-the two
schemes set on foot by these monsters being
in some respects alike.
It was fortunate that the trunk contain
ing the explosive machine was stored on an
upper tier Of baggage; otherwise, the dam
age resulting would have been more Sc

The EASTERN QUEsTION.-One OF the
latest phases OF the negotiations on the
eastern question is the objection made by
Russia to Turkeys taking part in the de-
alterations in the proposed conference Of
the six Powers. 1t is argued that there
would be something anomalous in a power
celebrating on its own case, and perhaps
giving the casting vote in the decision. But
it is insisted that as Turkey forms part OF
the European system under the treaty OF
Paris she cannot be excluded. The ques-
ton, it is urged, should be settled before
the conference is summoned, or 4 pro-
tracted and dangerous debate might result.
The Palt-MdN Gazette is quite hopeful in its
views of the prospects Of peace. The Times
finds that the feeling that war has been
STAYED off, at least for the winter, has be-
come much more prevalent. The trouble
in the Servian Cabinet is in a fair way Of
being adjusted. The Turks, it is again
asserted, have not taken Diunis, but there
seems to be little doubt about Tchernayeff's
army being in a precarious condition. a
late telegram announces that all operations
by the Turks have been stopped since Mon
day last.

DEATH OF PROMINENT CITIzEN.-William
Denmead, the last survivor OF the original
firm Of Denmead Il Son, proprietors OF the
Monument foundry, corner Of North and
Monument streets, died yesterday morning
at his residence, in Melville, Baltimore
county. He was siXty-seven years Of age,
and had retired from active business about
ten years ago. His death yesterday was
rather sudden, rs some weeks ago he had
recovered from an illness with which he
had suffered for the last two years. He
leaves six children. The firm of which Mr..
Denmead was formerly a member was
known all over the Union, the enduring
and ornamental bridges constructed by
them being famous in every part of the
country. OF late years the business Of the
firm was conducted by Talbot Denmead,
nephew OF the deceased, and whose death
about half a year ago will be remembered.
The foundry was sold some months since to
the Northern Central Railroad Company for
depot purposes. Baltimore american, 30th.

communications We are in daily re-
ceipt of, We have complied the bud
get of information herewith given,
for the benefit of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it is not as complete as We desire
and promise to make it, We think it
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query propounded is
whether We really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit OF
doubt. Gold 10 found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been Of quite recent occur
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and -four
ishing town, with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West and north of the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
are full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
