LONDON, Oct 3l.-Thc excitement over
the explosions on the underground railway
line Tuesday evening" is very great. Large
numbers OF police were on duty all night at
the various railway stations. A heavy force
WAS also employed watching the House OF
Parliament. The explosion at Chariug Cross
occurred at u distance Of 200 Yards west OF
the station. There was no train there mt the
time. The walls of the tunnel are battered,
hut the rails are not misplaced. No person
w6s hurt there. At Praud street station the
force of the explosion was terrible. The ltn-
mel there was MT DESTROYED, hut II deep hole
WAS cXcayatcd in the road bed, the DICK
work blown up and gas pipes and telegraph
lines broken. The explosion occurred under

All the persons injured were in the last two
carriages of tue train.

BLOWN DOWN.
he Chimney of the City Water Works
Demolished by the Gale.

4 severe gale swept over the city shortly
after o'clock Tuesday evening. 1t was of
short duration, but its fury was great. Along
the lake shore its force was particularly
severe, and it proved strong enough to blow
down the chimney Of the city water works.
Fortunately none Of the workmen were
injured, and the loss to property
is not extensive. The chimney was
eighty feet in height and about fifty feet of
it was blown down. Several years ago it
was struck by lightning and its strength
somewhat impaired, though it was consid-
cred safe. The Water Commissioners has.
just begun the work they were recently au-
thorized TO do by the Board of Aldermen
and had erected a staging with the intention
| of taking down about fifty feet OF
the chimney, telling the rest and
then building a new and larger
chimney on the old foundation. The
work of tearing down was to have been be-
gun Tuesday. AT ten minutes past O'Clock
the chimney blew down, as before stated
the gale at that time being, according to
some of the men at the lake shore, the sever
est within their recollection. The bricks fell
| to a distance Of forty feet from the base Of
| the chimney, but fortunately they fell in an
opposite direction from the pump
house where two men were at work.
One of the employees was IN the
yard and had a very narrow escape, the
bricks grazing him as they fell. The on,
building damaged was an old shed which the
Commissioners intended to remove. In this
was horse and wagon belonging to Joe
Thomas, who has charge of the works. The
horse was Instantly killed aud the wagon
was considerably donaged. This was The
only loss, and the damage 10 the city is
practically nothing.

General SMcrninn,s Wealth.

General sherman has received as gifts in
of $50, 900 since he has held his present place
as general of the army, says a Washington
correspondent. This, of course, does not in
clude the diamonds given to his daughter.
Mrs. Fitch, by the Khedive of Egypt, and
since divided up in sets, n set for each OF his
daughters. These diamonds arc worth more
than $4,000. For the past fifteen years he
has received salary of $l7, 500 per year
lie will continue to receive this prncely sal
airy as long as he lives, as his retirement does
not affect II in any way. Two Of his daugh-
ters-onc who lives with her husband in
Philadelphia, and Mrs, Fitch, who lives in
| ST. Louis-arc wealthy on their own ac-
count.
General Sherman has been very careful
liver, and has spent but little money. For a
great part of the time lie spent here he has
| occupied suite of rooms at no
| tel, living in modest and mex
penslve way. The rest of the time
he occupied one Of his several fine houses
| There Is general impression that he gave q
great many entertainments, but this is in
correct, as he has never given over four en-,
tertainnenis in any one year since he was
IN commanl OF the army. The salary thai
he will receive on the retired list is the larg
est paid or ever paid by the government t.
any one.
1t is more than twice the amount paid to ,
Cabinet officer, who necessarily has to enter
tain twenty times as much. In no one yea
has Gen. Sherman spent onc-haf of his sal
airy. lie must, therefore, have very mic
bank account. Neither will he give it to tn
boys to boom him for the presidency. Ill
says he don't want The presidency aud won
take it if offered him. He locked as fres
and burly as he entered the war department
yesterday as lie did twenty years ago, an
yet he INDUCES in late suppers and docs a
his writing after he returns from the theatr
at night, frequently sitting up until tw
O'clock in the mornng.

Every good Thing has its host Of mitators !;
every genuine article its commercials Bad
manners and wicked habits have theirs also :;
but he who shams the bad never boasts of it,
while they who ape the virtues of the good
or stimulate The genuine never hesitate to
place the counterfeit before the public in
their most alluring tones. Whcn these PEG.
pie initiate they always choose pronounced
type or popular subject to copy from, and
when they claim to be as good as "So.and
So" or to sell an article equal TO "So.and-
So The public may depend upon it that Mr.
"So-and So" and his article are ALWAYS the

proving the genuine merit Of the thing ii

A firm Of enterprlsng gentlemen produce
and popuarize nm article of household use,
such as the Royal Baking Powder, whose

they hold out their sham articles to the public,
