THREE EXPLOSIONS In LONDON.

London was startled Saturday by
three explosions of dynamite, two in
Westminster Palace, which contains
the Houses of Parliament, and one in
the White Tower, within the walls
of the historic Tower OF London.
The first explosion in Westminster
Palace was in Westminster Hall,
and the second occurred in what is
called the lobby under the Peers
gallery in the House of Commons.
Saturday being visiting day, there
were large number of sightseers.
both at Westminster and the Tower.
AT both places over thirty persons
were injured, though, perhaps, none
fatally, by shattered windows and
by the force of the conclusion.
Many of those hurt were women and
children. Parliament was not in ses-
sion, having adjourned on December
6 to February 10. The explosions
produced the widest excitement in
London, and three arrests were made
on Saturday, but all but one of the
persons arrested ON that day were
subsequently released. Another ar
rest was made Sunday, but upon
what ground is not known. It is
SAID that the damage done in West
minister Palace cannot be repaired
in months.

The attempt to blow up the Brit
ish Parliament building Saturday,
caused great surprise and excitement
in England and everywhere. The
loss will amount to $4,000. Eng
lish statesmen and distinguished per-
sons live in daily terror for their
lives. In this country, the National
Congress and the Legislatures of
different States have prepared laws
for the protection of the public from
explosives, not SO much on account
of the doings in England as for the
dangers in this country. 1t is un-
fortunate that the present Irish agi-
tation affords a reasonable suppose.
tion for connection with the dyna-
and thus damaging the Irish
cause, and increasing the English hate
and severity. The recent explosion
was planned in Paris, and had moth
ing at all to do with the Irish and
the Irish nothing to do with it. The
fact is, England as well as the other
European countries, has organiza-
lions of revolutionists which it's iron
hand cannot suppress. The changes
and progress of this age are bound
20 produce such social revolutions as
nave never before attacked law and
order and life itself.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

Knowing the earnest interest that
the good people of Berkeley take in
the success and happiness Of those
who are natives of her hills and val
leys, we pen these lines to comment
crate the occasion of a pleasant
surprise party last evening, Jan.
9th, at the residence ofMr. I'll. G.
Haffner, S04 X Street. The party
was given in compliment to Mrs.
Haffner on the anniversary of her
birth. A lady friend took Mrs. I'll.
to make an evening call, thus allow
ing time for the gay party to assem-
BILE. Upon the return she found her
parlors in the possession of IA bril-.
liant company Of young ladies and
gentlemen, truly a genuine surprise
to the "lady of the house," The
merry party greatly enjoyed Mrs.
HIS SURPRISE. though she soon re-
covered her usual self possession
and welcomed the guests in good old
Virginia style. The party was plan
ned by the two nieces OF Mrs. H.,
Miss Jennie and Miss Minnie Heller,
who deserve great credit for the rare
success of the entertainment. Dear
old Martinsburg was represented by
the presence of magnificent cake,
the gift of one of your most estima-
bic ladies' the presentation of which,
on behalf of the absent donor, bring
ing with it the remembrance of girl
hood days and the friends of other
years in old Berkeley, for a moment
caused tear to dim the eye of the
hOstess-the emotion was but mo.
mentary, for the gaiety of the sur
roundings left no time or place for
dreams of the past. Mrs. ii. was the
recipient of many presents, both
useful and beautiful. Flowers deco
rated the parlors, and gracious
smiles and pleasant greetings were
the order of the evening. We may
not remember the names of all who
were present. Amongst the Wash
ingtonians were Mr.. and Mrs. DR..
Rankin, Mr.. and Mrs. Rowan, Mr..
and Mrs. John Mcclellan. Mr.. and
Mrs. Alex. Mcclellan and son, Mr..
and Mrs. Turner, Mr.. and Mrs. Suehl;

Departed this life, January oath,
Mrs. Ellen Cecilia Dunn, aged IS
years. May she rest in peace.
The funeral of Mrs. Dunn took place
from st. Joseph's Catholic Church,
Tuesday morning. 9th, and was
largely attended by friends and ac-
quaintances of the deceased. In the
death of Mrs. Dunn the community
has lost a.true christian lady; whose
life was conspicuous on account of the
simplicity of her character, and the
many christian virtues that adorned
it. Father McKeefry remarked in the
funeral discourse, that the deceased
had led life worthy of imitation.
Her faith in the saving power and
goodness of her Saviour was steadfast
and devoted, implicitly receiving all
revealed truths, and ever ready to
exercise, when the opportunity pre-
sented itself, the heaven-born virtue
Charity. We extend to her devoted
family in their bereavement our ten
derest feelings of sympathy.

Mrs. Ann Maria Doll, mother of
G. w. Doll, Esq, departed this life
calmly and peacefully Monday even
ing, in the seth year of her age. Mrs.
Doll was one of the few remaining
links binding us to the last century,
well nigh the last of her generation.
A woman of strong yet unassuming
christian life and character, though
departed, the impress abides. She
has entered into rest, but her work
remains. Through all her years a
faithful and devout member of the
Reformed congregation of this city,
her body was borne on Wednesday
afternoon to the church which in life
she had attended and loved, where
appropriate services were conducted
by the pastor, after which the body
was laid away in the family lot in the
cemetery, in the sure hope of the
resurrection of the just and the life of
the world to come.

" ruined loss $4,000. In Braxton,

Thesrailroads are now experiment
ing with patent oilers, which will do
away with packing boxes on cars
with waste. Two small wheels
about one inch and a quarter in
size are fixed on a shalt, which is
held stationary by a wire spring fix
ed in the car box, keeping the small
wheels pressed against the lower
part of the journal. These in turn
revolve in about two inches of oil,
keeping the journal moist and cool.
This is good for the railroads, but
it will deprive some poor men OF
their means of living.

its cOnstitutiOnallty coHld not be es.

be sustained. The capital was at

Thomas G. Field, well known in
connection with the Tweed frauds in
New York city, died Sunday near
st. Andrews, Province of Quebec,
where he had been living in exile
since 1872. Referring to the death
of Field, the New York World says
"The fate of the men who robbed
the city SO shamelessly is full OF sig
nificance and warning. Tweed died
in prison. Connolly lived and died
miserably in foreign country to
which he could never become recon
ciled. Field now dies in Canada,
IN exile from his native land, to
which he could never return, but for
which be always yearned. OF what
real value to these men we're the mil
lions of which they robbed the city,
