the explosion say there was suddenly loud
report like cannon, and then sudden
darkness, the gaslights from the front to the
rear Of the train being put out.
Glass was broken aud splinters
of wood flew about the cars, cutting
and wounding many passengers. Above the
am were heard the shricks of the injured and
ranic stricken people. The train, which was
crowded. contained principally country visit
ors returning from the fisheries exhibition
Alter leaving the station the train travelled
steadily aheAd although the conclusion
SMASHED nearly all the lamps in the Praed

When the train reached the next station the
first effort was made to rescue the wounded.
Some were dreadfully burned but more
were Frustrated by fright. The first
impression was that IN explosion
OF gas had caused the disaster
hut later inquiries tend to show malice The
two rear carriages were damaged most. They
are mere skeletons. The general opinion OF
railway officials and experts is that the dis
aster was CAUSED hy some explosive material
placed probably III the rcarmost carriage. A
searching inquiry is proceeding. 1t is be-
lieved that about 40 persons were hurt, sorle
dangerously.
Almost simultaneously with the Pracd

The shocks of both explosions are describ

the explosion last March at the local govern

machines similar to rockets have been
found in the tunnel near the Praed stree.

explosion near Praed street. About fort,
persons have been admitted to hospital.
Many more were injured but were sent to
their homes.
