NEW MIDDLErowN, Conn.,, Feb ID
About midnight Thursday the inmates Of
the North College building ut Wesleyan
were aroused by an explosion which shook
every beam and rafter in the building and
called to mind the blowing up Of the PARK
Central at Hartford. The report could De
heard in every quarter of the town. The
explosion was caused by dynamite bomb
thrown by some f0olhardy student in the
fourth floor of the building. 1t shattered
doors and windows, tore a hole down
through two floors and knocked out sever
al yards Of plastsring. In observatory
hall the same outrage was perpetrated.
only with greater effect The halls of both
buildings are filled with plaster. mod,
glass, etc, in such quantities that it seems
impossible a dynamite cartridge could
have made such havoc.
The worst feature Of it all is the acci-
dent to N. c. Hubbard, son Of e1-Con.
gresham Hubbard, of West Virginia.
After the explosion in North college,
young Hubbard ventured out of his room
to ascertain the cause of the racket. He
was no sooner in the hall than he saw q
small missile lying on the floor near the
door and picked it up. 1t was dynamite
cartridge or bomb and it Immediately ex-
ploded in his hand. The palm Of his right
hand was terribly lacerated, his eyes
badly cut and pieces entered his abdomen.
1t must have exploded with terrible force.
as it threw fragments of his flesh all
around. When the injury to Mr.. Hubbard
became known several physicians were
summoned and they deemed his condition
so serious as to warrant his removal to
the hospital at New Haven, where four
fingers Of the injured hand were ampu-
tated. 1t is barely possible that his hand
may he saved.
The college officials promise that II the
perpetrators are caught they will be
handed over to the State authorities. Most
of the students are Inclined to place the
responsibility on members of the fresh
man class. For a great number of years
it has been customary for the freshmen to
usher in Washington's birthday with some
peculiar piece of deviltry, and each class
was striving to Guido the other in the OBJ
servance of the custom. On Wednesday
morning President Vlan Week gave the
students a very earnest talk on the OBJ
servance Of Washington's birthday. He
told them the faculty had no objection to
a dignifed observance of the day, but
cautioned them against doing any thing
to cast discredit upon the University.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Extracts from the re-
port of the committee on naval maneu-
vers in 1888 will be presented to the
House of Commons to-day. They say that
the nation has every reason to be salts
fed with the personnel of the navy. but
that the main lesson of the maneuvers is
that Great Britain is far from being as
strong as she should be on the seas.
They say; 1--WE are decidedly Of the
opinion that no time ought to be lost in
placing the navy beyond comparison with
the combined naval forces Of any two
powers. At the same time we believe the
navy is strong enough to engage any
single maratime power with success"
