BLEW Up CAR.-Car No. 4, on the O.
street route, came down Tenth street on the
run about half-past 8 o'clock Monday even
ing, and just as it struck the corner to run
around into o street two explosions occurred
that Jared the windows near by and brought
everyone into the street for a block around |
1t was discovered that the car had been
thrown from the track by the explosion, and |
that it was caused by two torpedoes similar
to those used on steam railways to signal to !
| the trainmen where the train cannot be !
tagged. The torpedoes had been placed on
the track short distance apart, and the |
movable tongue of the frog at the curve had
been wedged fast so as to run the Car straight |
on and prevent its swinging into street,
thus insuring momentum enough to explode
| ~ hat thn frao 10
above the street grade about foot, and car
thrown off is very liable to tip over and the
result might be serious damage. On this
occasion, however, the wheels were simply
| lifted from the track, and remained upon the
track grade. In the car was a lady, and on
the back step was boy. The fright of
| these passengers was very great. Yesterday
| the tin cartridge cases were found beside the
track Whether this was case of revenge !
and malicious mischief or one of practical
| joking matters very little. for it was serious,
and it is easy to conceive how it might have
resulted in loss of life Even such a shock
to delicate person might prove disastrous.
There is no clue to the perpetrators as yet.
| The railway officers say that some days ago
they suspended the dead-head list, and that
some of the parties who have been riding
| free have made threats against the line, and
they think some of these may have placed
the explosive agents on the track. But this
is mere superstition, and there is, as yet at
least no proof i'll support of it.

/ took possession of the house, unloaded

| them, and then succeeded one of the most
| social and effective of surprise parties, which |
hosts and guests enjoyed all the more keenly |
/ from the fact that the surprising party has |
