The London Explosion.

LONDON. Oct. sl.-The police
warned the railway officials three
months ago they had advices from
America of threatened explosions,
and precautions were taken to pro-
vide against them. The explosives
used last evening were powerful, but
in limited quantity. The holes in
the ground and brick work were
small.
LATER-The persons arrested were
all discharged for the want of evil
dence. The explosive was in glass
shells of the size of pigeon eggs. Frag-
ments of shells were found pertora-
ted with small holes. The shells
have been charged with nitro-glycer-
inc.
An investigation made by scientific
advisers to the war department led to
the conclusion that nitro glycerine
in some form was the agent used in
both cases. Later inquiries confirm
the early statement that large num-
Ter of persons are injured. In addi-
ton to over 80 II eated at the hospit-
ais, a large number was attended by
private surgeons. One Of the vic
Tins. a corporal of hussars. says he
was talking with a friend near Praed
street, when there was suddenly a
very bright flash Immediately fol-
lowed by terrific report. He was
struck by something and almost
knock ed insensible. When the train
arrived at the Edgeway road he stag
gered across the platform and was
picked up by soldier. He remem-
bers nothing more. This is only one
of the many narratives.

Marquis Tseng Leaves Paris
The Labor Congress.

PARIS, Oct. 31.-Tt is rumored that
owing to ministerial statements re-
garding Tonquin negotiations and
tte.adoption Of. vote of confidence
in the government in the chamber of
deputies Marquis Tseng will leave
Paris.
At the International labor confer
ence this afternoon, English, italian,
Spanish and French delegates spoke.
Henry Broadhurst, honorary presi-
dent OF the conference, advised work
ingmen to be patient. Large CAPT.
tails, he said, suffered greatly from
competition. London had q hard
fight against English provincials and
Belgians, but more especially against
Germans, who swarmed there. The
following resolution was adopted:
''This convention records its opinion
that the principal end to be pursued
is to limit the hours of labor and thus
render supportable the position of
wOrkingmen Of all nations. This is
attainable in two ways, namely: BY
legislation for the protection of the
weak against competition and an or
ganization Of the workingmen who
should be united and diciplined. 1t
Is the duty of workingmen to direct
their efforts against laws, which
render the organization of labor i'm
possible and hinder international
legislation. which is so necessary to
ameliorate the condition of the work
ing classes. In the evening the
speakers urged the French working
men to devote more attention to bus
mess and less to politics and to Or
ganize trades unions.

Wonders from Wonderland.

Messrs Orton and Graves will soon
place on exhibition and for sale at
the store of William Coleman & Co.,
on Main street, q large variety of
beautiful specimens of natural for
nations and artificial encrustations
from the National Park. Among
these wonderful exhibits may be
found crystalizations from Specimen
Mountain, Geyserite formations from
Old Faithful. Bee Hive and other
celebrated Geysers in the upper
basin, stalactitic formations from
numerous caves and other wonders
too numerous to mention. Artificial
encrustatioEs Of beautiful designs
are also among theattractions. These
gentlemen have been engaged during
the past season in collecting these
magnificent specimens and have, in
the meantime, made large shipments
of them to Europe and nearly every
city in the United States. They now
offer to our citizens an opportunity
to obtain for themselves or for their
Eastern friends choice specimens of
the most wonderful formations in
the world.

OVERHEAD LINE.
Two Cars Break Loose and De-
scend at a Rapid Speed.
A Little Scare but no Damage
Done.

From Dr. c. s. Ingersoll We learn
that the west bound train ON arriy.
ing at the east grade Of the overhead
line Oh Tuesday was separated into
two sections owing to the slippery
condition of the track caused by snow
and ice. The first section reached
the summit in safety aud the loco
motives returned for the second.
After coupling on they started up and
when about half way to the top the
two rear cars, consisting of Pull
man and dining car, broke loose
The brakes acted almost immediate
ly. They backed down and coupled
on again and once more commenced
the assent. After a run of some dis
tance the coupling again broke and
the two cars started down the grade
at rapid speed, but fortunately
stopped after going few hundred
feet. The brakes acted well again
but there being snow and ice on the
track and the grade being quite steep
ut the point where the cars became
uncoup!ed, they virtually slid the
whole distance. The cars that were
still attached to the engines were
taken to the summit and side-tracked
the locomotives returning for the
two which had broken loose. No
damage resulted and the train pro-
ceeded without further accident.
The sharp report caused by the snap
ping of the bell rope and the jingling
of the chandeliers added to the
fright of the more nervous passen-
gers, from which they soon recov-
cred as the train sped on in safety.

LONDON, g o'clock. mo explosive
matter has yet been found at the
Praed street station. An inspector OF
the home Office viewed the scene of
the explosion there and afterwards
examined the damaged train. He ex-
presses the opinion that the cartridges
made of the first order of explosives,
such as gun cotton, were used. The
guard states that while looking out
of the car window, just after the train
left Praed street station, he saw some
sparks nearly underneath the car
riage and Immediately afterwards
heard the explosion. The explosive
used used at Charing Cross station
was in small quantity: it is not be-
ieyed that it was dynamite.
New YORK, Oct. 3l.-O'Donoyan
Rosa states that the explosions yes
terday at the underground railway in
London, were the work of the Fenian
Brotherhood, of whose movements he
is apprised. London would be in
ashes, he said, before long unless
England gave up ireland. New de-
velopments might be expected at any
moment, for it was the purpose of the
Brotherhood to reduce England to
submission.

DIR. Mltchell's Resignation.

The MINER is officially informed
by Mr.. r. S. Kelly, Secretary of the
Deer Lodge Democratic Central Com
mittee, that DIR. A. H. Mitchell, re-
signed the candidacy for Delegate to
the Constitutional Convention, and
that the Committee has placed the
name Of Mr.. Joaquin Abascal upon
the ticket. The reason for this action
is the Doctor does not think be is
eligible to the office under the pro-
visions of an act of Congress com
mon to all Territories. The pro-
vision referred to is found in the Re
vised Statutes of the United States,
Sec. 1854, and reads as follows: "No
member of the legislative assembly
Of any Territory now organized
shall hold or be appointed to
any office which has been Gre
ated, or the salary or emoluments
of which have been increased while
he was a member, during the term for
which he was elected, and for one
year after the expiration of such
term, etc." AS the Doctor was a
member of the last legislature which
created the Office of Delegate to the
Constitutional Convention it will be
seen he is barred from acting as a
member OF the Constitutional Con-
vention. The people OF Deer Lodge
and in fact of the whole Territory
will doubtless regret they will be de-
prived of the Doctors services in that
body. They will, however, be ably
represented by Mr.. Abascal who is
substituted in his place. Mr.. Ahas-
cal is long time resident of the Ter
ritory, is thoroughly identified with
its interests, has acceptably served
term in the Legislative Assembly
and is recognized as gentlemen of
marked ability who will honor the
position for which he is named.

Internal iOnal Fisheries Exhibi-
ton,

LONDON, Oct. 2l.-There was an
immense attendance to-day to wit.
ness the ceremony Of closing the In.
ternational Fisheries Exhibition. In
replying to the address and repor,
showing the G. mplete success of the
exhibition, the Prince of Wales
stated that the Queen had followed
the success of the exhibition with
great interest, and had requested him
to ex press her hope that it would be q
lasting benefit to the fishing popula-
tiop of the Kingdom. He said that
after all expenses had been paid a
substantial surplus would remain,
which should be devoted to inprov-
ing the condition of the fishermen of
the country and to the promotion of
the interests of the fisheries in order
that the calamities incident to fish
erman's life might be alleviated. The
Prince as gratified at being able to
continue the work of his father in
giving opportunities for the peaceful
emulation of all nations, and thus d.
verting mems minds from interna-
tional rivalries by which all suffer to
those by which all gain. The vast
attendance at this exhibition led him
to hope the buildings might remain
to be employed for the use of other
exhibitions He desired to see here
a hygienic exhibition in 1884, one of
the progress of the inventions in 1885,
and he proposed holding here a
colonial exhibition in 1885.

Murder Will Out.

GALVESTON, Oct. 3l.-Four years
ago three Mexican travellers. two wo-
men and man, were ambushed
while asleep, twenty-five miles from
Laredo, and the man and one wo-
man instantly killed by bullets from
Winchester rifles. The other woman
was left for dead by the assailants
who plundered the camp and escaped
across the Rio Grande. A month
ago Cecilia Chivares was arrested for
horse theft and was recognized by
the survivor as the murderer. To-day
he was found guilty. The punishment
assessed is death. Antonio Lopez
also was convicted of murder in the
first degree and given to the peniten-
tiary for life. Lopez was member

robbed his store. ravished his young
wife and a Mexican servant girl.

LONDON. Oct. 30.-A Liverpool dis.
patch says: Morris Rangers failure
will probably bring down dozen OF
more Liverpool firms. but this is prob.
ably exaggerated. 1t is said New
York will be affected to the extent
Of 100000 sterling. In the mean
time the cotton business is entirely
suspended. as merchants and brokers
are awaiting developments.
The Times says: r. H. Forman &
Co.'S liabilities are estimated at $780,
1t is understood that Morris Ran
gers liabilities in Liverpool are toler-
ably we'll divided among the cotton
brokers. 1t is hoped generally that
he will be able to meet his engage
ments. Rangers failure is generally
attributed to the American system
of dealing in futures without the
American system Of protection Sc
cured by deposit Of margins. It is
generally hoped that the latter sys-
tenn will be introduced in England.
Later reports relative to the failure
of Morris Ranger, place his liabilities
at tt65O.OOO: he had 100000 bales of
Cotton.

A Natural Shaft.

In sinking a shaft on the Mime
sofa lode, last week, Brainerd, Gard
ner 4 Co. broke through into a cave
or rather natural shaft, nearly verti-
cal, which the workmen have ex-
plored to depth of nearly $50 feet.
The air in the shaft is pure and there
is strong draught coming from the
bottom, showing there must be COM
municatiOn with the outside world

tance. They are trimming the side
with a view of running cross cut al

WASHINGTON. Oct. sl.-The cor
respon0ence incident to the retire
ment of Gen. Sherman is published
to-day. The general, in addressing
the secretary of war. shows that
while bis legal term OF service does
not expire until Feb. 'S4, that season
of the year is not suited to the
changes necessary on his retirement.
He then says: / have long contem-
plated anticipating the event some

nient season of the year, and also to
enable my successor to be in office

liberal provision made by Congress

able me to respond promptly to any
call the President may make for my

Secretary Lincoln, replied to the
effect that the President has acceded
to all the requests made in the Gener-
al'> letters, and concluded as follows:
"The President directs me to express
to you his earnest hope that there

An Adulterer Shot-New Order
Of the N. p. Company.

CHICAGO. Oct. 30.-A Times New
York special says: Newton Rowell.
a paper bag manufacturer at Batavia,
n. y, who was supposed to have
been miles from home on business,
suddenly made his appearance last
night in his wife's apartment, and
found there johnson l.. Lynch, a
lawyer Ct Utica. The latter started
down stairs and WAS killed by Row.
ell before he reached the bottom.
Another New York special says:
Among the various measures of econ
Omy adopted by the Northern Pacific
railroad since the assault of the bears
upon it's stock, was an order, said to
have been promulgated, removing
lights from the switches of the com
pany and making the safety Of the
public dependent entirely upon the
efficiency of the switchmen. A dis
patch from Hawley, Minn., reports
an accident last Friday night, which
IS alleged to be direct result of this
policy and was the fourth disaster in
the east since the order was promul-
gated. A passenger who was on
the train, gives the following addition
al particulars: The light had been
removed from the switch, located
about 80 rods east of the station, and
man named Roach. who had charge
of it, had forgotten to change it after
the west bound train went by. The
engineer of the 9:45 east bound pass
enger, containing about 400 persons,
saw the switch was open by Che light
of his head lamp, and it was only 250
feet ahead. Although under consid-
cradle headway, he managed to stop
the train by reversing the engine and
putting on the air brakes before
jumping off. The engine
went into the bank of a
cut, turning OH its side, and the whis-
tie bar striking the bank, she gave
her own death note as she went over.
The engineer lays the fault at the
door of the company for taking the
light of. If he had not noticed the
switch, the entire train would have
been wrecked, and great loss of life
would have followed. Several resi-
dents on the line say the company
has cut down the wages of its en-
ployees to such figure that it can
secure but few competent men; and
as a result the road was very poorly
manned.
