Streets Torn Up and Two Children
Buried In the Ruins.

Buried In the Ruins.
BALTIMORE, April 5.-The residents Of
the northeastern section Of this city were
startled by aterrific explosion yesterday,
which shook the foundations OF the houses
for squares and tore up the bed OF both
Bond and Chew streets for some distance.
Flying stones and dirt filled the air; look
ing.glasses and pictures were shaken from
the walls in dwellings, and the people
were nearly crazed with fright
- AT tirst everybody thought twas an earth
quake but upon examination it was found
that this sudden convulsion OF the
earth was caused by gas explosion OF a
singular character. Some time since a
stream OF water, which ran through that
section was tunnelled over and turned into
sewer. 1t runs beneath the bed OF the
streets, and gas mains cross 1t at different
points. One Of these pipes had evidently
sprung leak, and the sewer being
tightly closed for several squares,
bad become filed with gas, when Robert
Sweat. a seven.year old lad, standing over
one OF the man.holes to the sewer, threw q
lighted match, with which. he had ignited
a cigarette, into small opening on the
trap, and the next instant there was ter
riic report, and the boy was hurled some
distance away, his clothes on fire from the
flame that shot out of the sewer hole. He
was terribly burned about the head and
body.
For few moments all was confusion,
and the greatest excitement prevailed. For
tunately.it was in quiet neighborhood,
and hnt few persons were on the street at
the time.
Several persons had their legs broken, or
were otherwise injured. One man was
hurled about twenty yards, but escaped
any injuries excepting few slight bruises.
Ten houses were more or less damaged,
and several Of them will no doubt have to
be torn down.

Queen VICTORIA is having a pretty
rough time, the woes following with such
rapid gait OF late that they have trod on
each others heels. First the royal knee
was bruised by a fall, and this accident
was followed by the death OF her trusted
body servant. Now the crowning trouble
Of all is heaped upon the others until'the
bill loi woe is mountain OF distress. The
last is the discovery Of mandatory for
explosives and the arrest OF four dynamite
fends. The guard has been doubled at
Windsor, and although swaying the scep-
ter Of the greatest kingdom on earth, she
Is left to the cheerful reflection that she
is virtually prisoner in her own castle.
There Is no telling what effect all this
worry aud annoyance may have on the
Queen. She is well up in years, and it
Is possible that mental and physical
distress will work the result which the
dynamite ploLters and assassins are bend
Ing their energies to accomplish, Never
theless We believe it i' the hope and prayer
Oiall true Americans that she may live Tor
many years to come.

THE FOURTH ARREST.

The fourth arrest to-day was Henry Dal.

from the United States two weeks ago. He
was found at the rooms Of the American
Exchange. He made no resistance. Dalton
was confined In jail at Scotland Yards.
There was no less sensation In commerce
when the arrests were announced than
elsewhere.
Sir William Harcourt, Home Secretary,
in brief speech outlining the facts, con.
firmed what had up to this time been
merely rumored; that Norman had been
arrested. He added that one hundred and
fifty pounds OF highly explosive liquid had
been toundin Norman's quarters, stored in
skilliully devised rubber bage. He
also confirmed the discovery OF q
dynamite mandatory at Birmingham
and gave the particulars OF the affair sub.
stantially as related In these dispatches.

some kind OF explosives has been discoy.

rHR "MEpIcAL srupENr.n

The man first arrested last night, near
Fleet street, had engaged rooms on South.
hampton street, corner Of the Strand, giving
the name Ormund, and stating that he was
q medical student Subsequently he said
that his correct name was Norman. The
first inquiry for rooms was made by an
elderly man. A box OF explosives was
taken to Norman's lodgings by a person
Of rakishappearance, who looked more like
a tramp or street idler than the porter or
friend Of student 1t is believed that this
individual and elderly man have been cap.
tuied in the persons OF the two men arrest.
ed at Lambeth to-day. One OF these men
had in his pocket and sewed up In his
clothing large sum OF money, portion
OF which was in American coins.
Street rumor made free use oi the Ameri-
cans name and connect many Irish
Americans with these plots. One OF the
Lambeth prisoners bad secured lodgings in
the name OF Wilson. His movements,
however, excited so much suspicion among
his neighbors that he left his room yester.
day, saying 1t was his intention 10 20 TO
Wolverhampton. When he returned at
noon to-day he was surprised to find five
detectives awaiting him. Norman un.
doubtedly came direct from Blrmin ham.
The place where he was stopping was Just
over the office where the Court Circular is
printed. The proprietor OF that sheet re-
Gently received letters containing dire
threats, the origin OF which he has now no
difficulty in tracing to the prisoner.

SOME HOPE LEFT.
That fighting chance about which we
were talking some time ago still remains 10
the Republicans Of the Third District.
The odds are against us, but they are not
too great to be overcome. The party is
hopeful and believe will make strong
effort. A little active sympathy from
outside the district willgive encouragement.
They want Gof to come and mount the
stump. Sturgiss would draw and they hope
10 have him. He has many warm friends
here, and am told that his speeches made
votes every time. There Is room and there
is work for others. IfDawson would come
down and hammer the Bourbon Democ.
racy on State issues, which he understands
30 well, il wouldn't surprise me II he could
convince Judge Ferguson that he has got
back into the Democratic fold at the wrong
time. Our fight for 1884 begins in the
Third District in 1888. O. B. II.

SUMMING UP THE SURPRISES.

1t is admitted that complete summing
up ofthe surprises include the unearthing
OF the most important dynamite factory
ever discovered, and the arrest Of four
ruin breeders" in London and one in
Birmingham, the attempt on the govern.
ment magazine in Ireland, and the discov.
cry Of an astounding and audacious scheme
OF the Nihilists to blow up the Cars resi-.
dence in Moscow. The excitement over
these affairs Is not confined to Government
Offices, but it is sapparent on the street to
even the most casual observer. The prompt
action OF the Government officers is highly
commended.
The postofiice and neighboring govern.
ment properly is placed under an increased
guard, and the Royal residence at Wind
sor. A large force Of sentinels was sent
thither in private manner. This precau.
ton is made necessary because the govern.
ment officials learned late last night that in
connection With the discovery Of the
dynamite factory at Birmingham, some
conspirators were already on their way to
Windsor from Birmingham. 1t is stated
in official quarters that there is reason 10
believe the whole incendiary and dynamite
conspiracy here and In America will now
be laid bare and the number OF arrests
shortly increased.
