FOREIGN.

LONDON. October 3l.-At & o'clock last
 night an explosion occurred near Praed
 street of an under ground station pass
 enger tram. On the scene of the ex-
 plosiou considerable damage was done
 and about forty passengers were burned
 and wounded; some dangerously. The
 railroad officials express the opinion
 that the disaster was caused by the ex-
 plCsion of material placed In one of the
 carriages of the tram for the purpose of
 producing a catastrophe. Simultaneous
 with the Pread street affair, an explosion
 occurred on the underground railway,
 between Charing Cross and Vest
 minister stations. The effects were similar to the Praed station explosion; both are matters of great mystery and is generally believed of Fenian origin.
 LONDON, Oct. 3L-The excitement over the explosions in the underground railroad last night Is very great. A num- Der of police under special inspectors were on duty all night at various rail road stations and guarding the line with a heavy force, also watching the line. The explosions at ChRring Cross oc- cured a distance of two hundred yards west of the station; there was no train there at the time. The walls of the tunnel were shattered, but the rails were not misplaced; the windows in the station were blown out; the roof was not damaged; no person hurt. At Praed street station the force of the explosion was terrible. The tunnel there was not destroyed, but a deep hole was eXcavated in the road bed. Bricks were blown out and the gas pipes and telegraph lines broken. The re- freshment saloon was wrecked and the windows of other rooms of the station shed. The explosion occurred immedi- a ely under The passage train, 40 yards from the station; all the persons injured eight persons were wounded and taken to St. Mary's hospital; four of them se- riously hurt, but are expected to recover; others are able to go tO thelr homes to- | night. Both explosions occurred at 6:l0 l in the evening.
 All of the detectives of the metrOpolit- | an police are searching for the perpetra- | tors of the outrage and the railway | officers are assisting them. No traces l gre discovered of the nature of the ex- Dloslon. It is ascertalned that the ev- oloslOn could not have been caused by | 'oal gas No clue to persons causing he explosion has been obtained. Ma or Malende, of the Board of Trade is low tll a. m.) making examination at he scene of the explosion at Charirg Cross and trains are running as usual bis morning.

JOHN JACOB ASTOR'S GIFT.
He Deeds His Estafc to His Son, Keservins
 m Annuity of s1Oo.OOo.

It was announced in legal circles ID New York yesterday that NIT. John Jacob Astor had deeded all his property to his only son, William Waldorf Astor, now United States Minister to Rome The news created e profound sensation, and old lawyers declared that it was only another movement by the Astors not to permit the value of their immense estate to be publicly known. John Jacob Astor is now an old man, and al- though in apparent good health, the question of wills, deeds, heirs, and Sur rorate courts must occur to him. The story, as reported, is that Mir. Astor has deeded away his property, but that the deeds will not be recorded until alter his death. His son, William W. AstOr, receives everything, subject, however, tO a pension Of Sl00,OO0 per annum, paya- ble Co his father during his life. By ihis means Of transferring the estate two objects are seen to be acc0mpllshed- first, that the estate will not be divided among different heirs, and secondly that no litigation over @ will can ever come into a court by which the value of the eitate would be discovered. There are ulquestiOnably other branches of the family which. fl a will leaving all to the son was made, might enter contest.
 l. has always been the idea of NIT. John Jacob Astors life practically to sntlil his property, and tO have the estate remain intact, from generation Co generation, as in England. The present John Jacob AstOr's father died about eight years .go, bequeathine hls property Co John JlcOb and William Ast0r and to his grauddaughterth thela late Mrs. John w. Chauler. The elder Nll- liam D. Astor also left an idiot son, To- whom ample provision was made, and also for his sons guardian. The ldlo. child grew to manhood, and died several years after his fathers death
 Al that time the estate was worth about S5000G,OUO or S4QOO49O1. It was then mainly unproductive. John Jacou Astor received the largest part of the estate. including the Ast6r House, which was deedel Go him for Sl. The golden principle of the Astor family was never to build until forced Go do so, and when a building was put Up it was intended to last for years, and solid hOus were built upon the land, until tO day the value is really unknown. Most or the property lies between Iwenty-thlr street and Fiftieth street, from Eighth to Third avenue. Murray Hill lies iD the heart Of the family possessions. Blocks and blocks of houses here be long to John Jacob AstOr, all of which he has deeded Go his son. The value oi John Jacob A-tOr's estate IS estimated at between SG0OO1UOO and S70O00-O0O and William B.'s estate at something less. The present MT. Astor's Idea is for his son to follow the same course he has, and SO on through generations.

Goodman was under the impression that the route had been abandoned, and they were now seeking entrance over the South Pacific Coast road, which runs through Santa Clara valley to Alameda. From there they could cross to San Francisco by ferryboats. This road is owned by Sen ator Far and MT. Flood, and 1t is likely the projectors wIli endeavor to get 1t, MT. Goodman thought.
 In answer to question as to whether he thought Far and Mir. Flood were In- terested in the enterprise, Mr. Goodman sad they were probably not, further than in selling their road.

An Ec entrIe Eaitor.

The late ChaTlss Hazewell of the BOs-
 ton Traveller, was one of the most cur
 iOus ornaments the journalism of this
 country ever had. His memory wa
 prOdigIous. In matters of Americ D
 history many fine critics placed him
 above Bancroft as an authority. ln hIs
 library at Revere, some eight miles from
 Boston, he had a choice coll cri0n of
 rare books to the number of 1000, and
 knew them Rs a mother knows her
 child. He could repes. the Scarlet Letter" word for word, from Id to lid.
 But his greatest feat Of memory was to
 repeat the sovereigns of England from the old Danish days to Victoria, giving
 the numb sr of children each had, the dates of their birth and death, and the entire collateral connections. What IS the sense of blowing MacHuley up to the skies because he was able to call off the POpes of Rome and the archbishOps of Canterbury in their historical order when our native institutions have produced this greater miracle in Hazewell2 With all his irritability of temper the old gentleman was as tender hearted as a woman. He knew his streng gth, and in the line of his duties had O ne inhexible rule. If the editor didn't want his matter he could topple 1t over into the waste basket, but if he dared to change a word he did so at the peril Of his life His great work was to write a review of the week, which always appeared on Saturday and gave the Traveller a reputation for brains. which it has now lost-probably forever. The way Iazeweli would Juggle his facts and dates and historic precedents was won derful to behold. Ills bump of rever- ence was alarmIngly small. He was, perhaps, the most gifted and original ar ist in profanity ever bred under this great republican form of government, and could compete in this accomplish ment with the Redheaded Ranger of the Rio Grande. otherwise known as Tom Ochiltree. In his last hours he turned to his son and said, Edward, bury me not deep in some crowded churehya ard, but near the ground S surface m Christ's green pastures, where my remains can fertilize and fructify when my brain Is gone"

WE learn from the Miner that Gov ernCr Tritle has received official notifi- cation of the National Cotton Exhibi- ton to held in New Orleans in December next, together with a request to send commissioners and alternates to repre- sent the Territory. The Miner states that the Governor will decline the re- sponsibility of naming a representative for Arizona, unless the people and press of the Territory are in favor of having him do so. The CITIZEN is glad to learn that the Governor has experienced 9 change of heart in relation to the ap- pointment of commissioners to repre- sent Arizona at exposItions. He has, however, appointed several Commis- sioners who have done no good whatever for the Territory, at least one of whom was paid a good round price for supposed servces. But as commissioners were appointed to Denver. without pay, We see no objec- ton to appointing commissioner to the cotton exhibition to be held at New Orleans, provided such commissioner is appointed to serve without pay. We would ask the Miner if it has not made a mistake as 10 the date of holding the New Orleans exposition; is it not in December, 1884, instead of December nex,2'
