DYNAMITE IN LONDON.
AN EXPLOSION AT THE BRITISH AD-
 MIRALTY.
Damage to the BuIldInE-Serious Injury of
 mn Assistant secretary.

Great excitement was caused in the Ad- miralty Office in Whitehall street at Il o'clock Thursday forenoon by an explosion in the basement of that building. The explosion occurred in the Secretary's department. Mir. Edwin N. Swainson, assistant secretary and principal clerk, received a severe scalp wound. Other officials were also injured, but none so seriously as Mir. Swainson.
 It was supposed at the time that the explo- sion was caused by war material, but later it was regarded as certain that either gun cotton or dynamite was used to cause it. Mir. Swain sons room, in which the explosion took place, was made complete wreck.
 Mir. Swainson, upon being restored to con sciousness, gave it as his opinion that the ex- plosive, whatever it may have been, was thrown into the room through window. Two men bearing package were seen, just previous to the explosion, mounting wall near to the Secretaries Department. Two loud and quick reports were heard.
 Another report says two men were noticed by several persons accommodating Wednesday, and Thursday morning the same men were seen to enter the garden in front of Mr. Swainson's office from the direction of the Horse Guards parade ground. One of them carried tin can, which was placed in a recess of the passageway leading to the office. The movements of the two men attracted but little attention at the time owing to the fact that several surveyors and number of workmen have recently been engaged in measuring distances, etc., on the grounds, and those who saw the two men be- lieved that they were employees of the Govern ment engaged in the same sort of work. Two officers of the Government took such particular notice of the two men that they claim that they can identify them even if placed in a crowd of other men.
 The face of 6 small American clock, black ened by the explosion, with some pieces of clockwork attached, was found among the debris soon after the explosion. The Admiralty officials suppose these fragments are parts of the internal machine which caused the explo- cir

ROMANCE OF THE ILL HATED STEAMER
 DANIEL sTEINAIANN,

A romance has come to light connected with the ill-fated steamship Daniel Stein- mann, which was wrecked at Sambro a year ago, when 124 lives were lost. Pre- vious to his leaving home, Peter Andreas Michaelson, one of the passengers, de- posted S39, 570 and some valuables for safe keeping with one Herschird, of Hasle, Denmark, and took a receipt therefor. Probably imagining that no legal evidence would be forthcoming that he had the money, Herschird re- fused to return it to the dead mans rel atives. Thereupon the Danish Foreign Minister communicated with Mir. Tobin, the Danish Consul at Halifax, request ing him to spare no efforts to find the receipt. The bodies and wreckage, washed ashore from time to time have been carefully searched, and the divers who have worked on the wreck for the past year have kept a sharp lookout for the missing document, but all without success. Recently small trunk was washed ashore containing a number of letters and papers. These were turned over to the Consul. They were water soaked, the writing almost obliterated, but among them was the long-looked-for TO. ceipt, which, after much difficulty, Con- sul Tobiu deciphered and translated. He has cabIed the good news to Copen- hagen.

BURIED IN ONE GRAVE.

Barclay Johnson, his mother, and sister, whose tragic deaths were suddenly wrought by Johnson, in Greenwich, Conn.,, were buried in one grave.
 The faces of the dead revealed nothing of their terrible death. The fair young girl seemed to be sleeping naturally. Flowers were in profusion, which had been sent by many friends.
 The village street was like Sabbath even ing, every door, shutter, and blind being closed. At the old Congregational Cemetery, near the brow of Putnam's historic hill, the re- mains, enclosed in black cloth-covered caskets were placed in one large grave, the brother and sister resting beside the mother.
 The whole community mourned, but most bitterly the dead girls schoolmstes Those with whom she had chatted gayly only an hour or so before her death can yet hardly be- ieve it all to be true.
 How long the young man had meditated the terrible act cannot he known. The pistol he used was new, and was probably procured either on the morning of the day that it was used or on the day before. While it is unques- tionably certain that his family knew that he brooded over his poverty, he had never given cause for any serious apprehension.

A French Convict Story.

In Louis Philippe's time the last transportation of convicts to Cayenne took place. One of the most celebrated of the gentlemen forgers of the day was the very last. His name was Gatebourse, stock broker, who had plunged deep into all the swindling speculations of the day, and had ended by committing forgeries to an enormous amount upon the Banque de France. The man had a chateau and horses and carriages, and when the police went to arrest him he was steering about in his pleasure boat upon his own lake in his own park. Gatebourse was tried, and condemned to transportation for life. He was taken to Cayenne, where he lived until few years ago, when the history of his horrid death reached Paris. The unhappy wretch, in his endeavor to escape, had been devoured by the violent crabs that swarm along the shores of the settle ment. Harassed by fatigue he had lain down upon the sand, and the dreadful creatures had swarmed in thousands around him, tearing and rending the body until nothing remained but the cleanly-stripped skeleton, which lay bleaching in the sun for weeks before it was discovered by the police sent in search of the runaway. It was this ad- venture which caused the abandonment of Cayenne as a place of punishment. The experience of sending the young recidivists to the settlement will be a dangerous one, as the outcry among the convicts will be re-echoed by the ignorant portion of the philanthropists, who scruple not, however, to despatch magistrates, consuls, and gendarmes to place where they hesitate to send the burglars and assassins who are render ing the city of Paris far more danger ous to inhabit than the pretended fever stricken colony of Cayenne,

THE EUROPEAN TROUBLES.
France Is Inclined to Make Trouble With
 Egypt.

The French Charge d'Affaires in Egypt has been instructed by his Government to suspend all official relations with Egypt, and to make the declaration to the Egyptian Government that France declines to sanction the Egyptian financial convention, and reserves to herself complete liberty of action. The Charge has delayed his departure from Cairo. It is said that Egypt now offers to compromise the dis pute with France concerning the seizure and suppression of the BospHore EgyDtien by mak- ing an apology and by admitting that her off, cials violated the rights of domicile of the pub fishers, the apology, however, to contain no allusion to the seizure of the Bosphore Egyp- tien.
 Diplomatic relations between Egypt and France have not been broken. The French Charge, however, has been instructed to go to Alexandria, and if Egypt fails to make satis- factory reply he will leave Alexandria. In the event of final breaking off of diplomatic re- lations between the two countries the interests of France will be confided to the Russian Con- sulate.

A Sad History of Grants House.

A New York correspondent tells this story: The saddest incident in the his- tory of Gen. Grants financial misfor- tunes has never appeared in print until now, and it comes to me on indisputable authority from lawyers. When the General returned from his trip around the world and decided to make New York his place of residence for the future, number of leading citizens of the metropolis subscribed $l00, 900 to buy house for him. After looking the ground over, the brown-stone structure on East Sixty-sixth street, between Madison and Fifth avenues, was decided upon as in every respect eligible. The price, too, was within the amount sub- scribed-$100, GOO; but when the donors came to purchase the property they found there was mortgage for S60, 900 upon it which the holder was not willing to yield up. He was entirely satisfied with his interest of some six per cent, and it was determined to pay $40, 900 in cash and assume the mortgage. This was done, and the remaining S60, ,000 was turned over to Mrs. Grant, the property having been purchased in her name. 1t was decided to let the mort gage expire by the limitation of it's own terms, and when it fell due to meet it. Meantime the $60,000 WAS invested by Mrs. Grant at the current rate of inter- est, and the family moved into their new home in the city of their adoption.
 When the General got into the firm of Grant & Ward and became dazed by the vista of financial possibilities which opened up to his unsophisticated eyes in Wall street, a family council was called, and it was deemed advisable to invest Mrs. Grants $60, 900 in Wall street en- terprises, which the head of the house. hold fondly believed were paying mag nifcent and legitimate interest. Why should $60, 900 be allowed to draw a beggarly rate of five or six per cent. when it might just as we'll be turning over fifteen or twenty per cent. on the | Street?
 The $60,000 that was to clear the mortgage on the Grant home on Sixty sixth street was invested with Grant & Ward, and it was swept away with the rest. Thus the Grants are, in one sense, merely tenants of the house in which they live. and all because the original holder of the mortgage thought he had too good an investment to let go of when Mrs. Grant had the money to wipe it out.

Hog Cholera.

PITTsFIELD, Mass, April 20, 1885.-The alarm about the prevalence of hog cholera is growing. Since the visit of President Stock bridge, of the Agricultural College, other herds of swine in this town have been reported affected. There are three farms where the disease prevails and about thirty hogs have died. President Stockbridge confirms the opinion of the local veterinary surgeon, and pronounces the disease genuine hog cholera, for which there is no known cure. Occasion ally a case recovers, but not from treatment All herds where the disease appears are to be slaughtered and buried. The symptoms are loss of appetite, weakness, breaking out in purple blotches and then speedy oeath. The farmers are selling off their pigs as fast as possible to butchers, fearing an attack of the disease and consequent loss. Dr. Bracken, veterinarian, says there are fully three hun North Adams, distance of twenty miles.
