An Attempt Made 10 FlOw mp the Loea

An Attempt Made TO slow up the Local
GOvernment OfElces nc Westminster.
LONDON, March 15.--A terrific gas expIO-
sion occurred in the local Government board
offices in Westminster at O'Clock tonight,
destroying much property. The report was
heard in the House of Commons, and
caused alarm. The concussion was so great
that 1t shook the side galleries and the re-
porters' gallery. 1t being the dinner hour,
few members Of the House were present In
the hall. The Duke Of Edinburgh was in
the Peers gallery and seemed alarmed.
Fortunately no one was injured. The
widest rumors are afloat. The report re-
sembled the discharge of an eighty-ton gun.
It is believed that the explosion was caused
by dynamite, and that deliberate atte mpt
was made to blow up the Government offices.
The explosion being the subject Of con
sideration in the House of Commons, Sir
William Harcourt, Home Secretary, said
he did not think 1t would be right TO say
ANYTHING about the matter until an official
inquiry had been made. He had heard that
an attempt had been made to blow up the
Times office, but that no injury had been
done.
Yesterday evening q canister containing
explosive material was found behind the
Times office, with, 1t is rumored, lighted
fuse attached. The police are making an
investigation.
THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.
MARCH i6-5 a. m.--The explosion was
undoubtedly the work of Fenians. The ad-
jacent streets are filed with myriads Of frag
mcnts Of glass, and heavy plate glass is
lying In heaps on the ground. A stone
Weighing 200 pounds was projected against
the King Street Police Station, making q
hole the size of mans head. Nothing will
be allowed to be touched until inquiry is
made to-day. The full extent of the damages
cannot be estimated until daylight. Five hun
dred constables are guarding the scene. The
building has the appearances of having been
bombarded. There is a deep trench, ten
feet by three In dimensions, in one room,
the floor of which has been literally
ploughed. Two children who were sleep
ing in house at the corner of King street
were thrown from their beds by the force OF
the explosion, and their faces were badly
cut. They were rescued and taken to the
police station. Every pane of glass In the
vicinity was shattered.
A man was arrested at midnight on sus-
picion of having been concerned In the ex-
| plosion.

An Eventful Day.

Last Saturday was an eventful day,
and the editors wished that the RE-
FLECTOR had been a daily. And one
of the noticeable metropolitan charac-
tiers of our city is its carelessnesS and
Indifference as regards exciting local
events. Last Saturday the Farmers
Alliance met in convention; there was
a big fight in a south side saloon; a era
zy woman was before the Probate court;
a young man committed suicide; a
prominent business man was arrested on
the charge Of embeZzlement,a and ten cars
of soldiers whizzed through on their way
to quell the Indian outbreak on the from
tier of the State. But there was not a
ripple of excitement apparent anywhere;
there was no gathering of knots of peo-
pie to talk about the events, and bust
ness was not interrupted. This fact is
another strong proof to support the
claim that Abilene pOSseSsee all the ele-
ments of a metropolitan city; and, by
the way, she is going to be the metrOpO-
lis of Central Kansas, isn't she?
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1883-09-06
Soldiers and Indians.

Last Saturday afternoon about six
o'clock, a train of eight cars and two
coaches, filled with Uncle Sans blue
coated regulars, passed through the city
westward bound. The REFLECTOR
man instituted a prompt inquiry, and
found that 400 Indians had broken
loose between Cleveland and Gibson
near the west boundary of the State.
and were on the rampage. The situa-
ton was telegraphed. to Fort Riley
some twenty-eight miles from here.
y regular train, standing on the track
at Abilene, was abandoned, and the Ell
CINE, with eight cars and two coaches
was started for Fort Riley, for the col
ored troops stationed there. The sol
diers seemed to be in good spirits at the
prospect of an exciting break in the
mOnotOny of barrack life, but whether
they have had a chance to flight no
bly, is not known at this writing.

Of Biblical Origin.

Abilene is not word ,as many think, OF
20 meaning except as applied as name
to this city to designate it from other
cities. The historical association of
the word is peculiarly interesting to the
christian and Bible student. 1t was
the name of a city in the region of Da-
mascus, and was iii its glory at the
time John was baptizing in the Jordan.
Josephus, the historian, informs us
that Abilene. in tic Hebrew language
signifies green meadow and that it
was city often visited by John the
Baptist, and our Saviour often
found it an oasis IN the desert of his
prosecutions and Affections. May the
name of our beautiful city be ever per-
petuated as leading us into meadows
green by the side of still waters. See
Luke iii: l.
