Too Explssisns N Loaaea.

LONDON, Oct. 81. About eight
O'Clock last evening terrible explo-
sion occurred near the Praed-st under
ground station on the Metropolitan BALL
way. -Passen gers who were on the
train at the Gene Of the explosion say
that there was suddenly loud report
like that of . cannon, and then
sudden darkness, the gaslights from
the front to the rear of the tram being
nut out The train, which was
crowded contained prime pally country
visitors returning from the FISHERIES
Exhibition
When the train reached the next
station, Edgeware Road, the first effort
WAS made to rescue the wounded.
Some were dreadfully burned, but
more were prostratsd by fright, The
first impression was that an explosion
of gas had caused the disaster, but
later inquiries tend to show malice
The two rear carriages we're dam aged
the most. They are mere skeletons.
Another theory is that the explosion
was caused by foul gas accumulating III
the tunnel. This, however, is untena-
BILE because no premonitory symptoms
were observable. The general opinion
of the railway officials and of experts
il that the disaster was caused by some
explosive material which had been
placed probably in the rearmost car
riage. 1t is believed that about forty
persons we're injured, some OF theu
dangerously.
Almost simultaneously with th'
Pra.d-st. affair violent explosion oc
Cured on the underground railway be
tween Charing Cross and Westmihstel
stations. The windows OF the signal
ing stations in the tunnel were shatter'
eli, and at Charing Cross the glass rool
of the the station partially collapsed.
The report is described as being like
that Of artillery.
The effects were similar to those o
the Praed. st. explosion. Carriage
lamps, windows, ETC., were smashed
All traffic was suspended for while
Although both explosions are matter
of the greatest mystery, they are gene
rally thought to have been OF FeniaI
origin.

This morning man, whose name IL
su pressed on account Of hts wife and
family, who have slrsady suffered
enough, was before Judge Cummins to
answer q charge Of assault and battery
on his wife. He pleaded not guilty,
and insisted that his little girl, who
was not present, should be sent for, and
finally against the earnest protest Of the
weeping mother, . summons was H.
sued for the child and she was brought
into Court.
The wife, who was crying ~ though
her heart would break, testified that
the husband had not been sOl'er, with
the exception Of about two We Ks, for
the past three months; he spent all h-
made for liquor, and she was obliged to
do washing or take In sewing to pro.
vide food for the children. She said
that when he was sober he was good
man, but Of late he WAS drunk oil the
time and had become perfect maniac.
On several occasions he had threatened
to take her life, and on Monday night he
came home about midnight, and upon
finding her bed, picked up a lighted
coal oil lamp and Threatened TO throw 1t
at her. He had heat her number
of times, and yesterday morning came
in about 8 o'clock, and after striking
her with his fist, picked upa poker
when she ran to the hall and obtained a
warrant.
She told long story of want, suffer
