WAS 1T A FENIAN2
More Explosions I'm LondOn-FOrfy Per-
Hnjured at an Underground
Station.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-About o'clock last even
ing a terrible explosion occurred near the
Praed street underground station on the Metro
politan railroad. Passengers who were on the
train at the scene of the explosion says there
was suddenly loud report like a cannon and
then sudden darkness. Glass was broken and
splinters of wood flew about the cars, cutting
which was crowded, contained principally
country visitors returning from the fisheries
exhibition, After leaving the station the
train travelled steadily ahead, and when the
train reached the next station, Edgeware
Road, the first effort was made to rescue the
wounded. The first impression was that an
explosion of gas caused the disaster, but later
inquiries tend to show malice.
The general opinion of the railway officials
and experts is that the disaster was caused by
some explosive material which had been
placed, probably, in the rearmost carriage. A
searching inquiry is proceeding. 1t is believed
about 40 persons were injured, some danger
ously Almost simultaneously with the
Praed street affair a violent explosion
occurred on the underground railway, between
Charing Cross and Westminster stations. The
report is described as being like that of artil-
lery, and with effects similar to those of the
Praed street explosion. All traffic was sus'
pended for a while. Although both explosions
are matters OF the greatest mystery. they are
generally thought to have been of Fenian ORR
gin.
The shocks Of both explosions are described
very similar to the shock OF the exp losion at
the local government board office in March
last. 1t is stated that four machines, similar
to rockets, have been found in the tunnel near
the Praed street station.
Although only about 40 persons have been
admitted to hospitals many more were in-
jurel but were sent directly to their own
homes.
The Times states that since the disastrous
events at the local government board in March
last nothing has occurred 80 calculated to ex-
cite public alarm as the explosions last night.
Evidently it was not an accident and suspicion
points in one direction only.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Before Judge Field yesterday In the Massa-
chusetts Supreme Court, the suit of Willard p.
Phillips ct al, trustees VS.. the Eastern Rail-
road to enjoin the respondent from executing
lease Of this road to the Boston and Maine scor-
poration came up for hearing on preliminary
questions of pleading to put the case in proper
form for the consideration of the full court for
final decision. A emporary injunction against
the lease has already been secured to which a
demurrer was filed.
Judge Field said that as to the bondholders
he should order the publication OF general
notice so that the bondholders Of the Eastern
could come in and defend their rights. The
Judge reserved decision on the question Of
making the Boston and Maine party respon-
dent. The judge thought that If the demurrer
was Withdrawn and the answer fled and the
act of the Legislature of New Hampshire au-
thorizing said lease by a twothirds vote Of
stockholders filed in the case, the pleadings
would then be in proper form upon which
he could pass on matters OF fact, and reserve
questions of law for the full court.
This mode OF procedure was agreed to and
the case was postponed to await such action.
