ny the Threats Of ynamiter..

There are renewed Fenian alarms in London,
Eng, in regard to the use Of dynamite on the
part of the officers of the Midland and other
railway lines, bnt they have failed to create
any sensation with the public. The scare has
becn traced to certain anonymous commune
cations, designed merely to intimidate. The
depots from London to the midland counties
are being watched day and night, however.
The dynamite fiend, Whitehead, who is UNDER
going penal serviude in Mllbank prison, has
been identified by the Birmingham detectives
~ james Murphy, mailing from Boston. Mass.
Whitehead neither admits nor denies his
IDENTITY. Dir. Gallagher the associate OF
Whitehead, who il prisoner at Chatham, it
is reported offers to make revelation of the
whole shAmerican dynamite conspiracy,
npon condition that he be released, or that his
sentence be mitiga.ed. DR. Gallagher de-
,lares that he was himself victimized by his
s,nfuflenes. II is suspected that DIR. Gallng-

emergency had been made by the managers OF
the institution. The unior unal inmates were
therefore powerless to save themselves, anu
those who were witnesses to the holocaust
were powcrless to assist them The first relay

screams of he children and the Sisters could
be heard above the cracking OF tho fire, but
the fircmen rruid not open the doors of the
donnitory, for they were locked. In the OK
citoment no one knew who had the keys.
Bars of iron from nrishb ring blacksmith
shop were brought in by tho fircmen and used
rs battering rams, but even before these tho
doors would not give way. The smoke in tho
long Railways soon drove the tiremen out, and
the girls, locked in their rooms, were told to
take to the windows. In another moment the
windows of tho third floor the slls of Which
