Make Two Dnstnriiy Attempts in Eng.
land-Scnrchins for the Miscrcnnts.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-On Wednesday last
the travelling world OF England was
startled and justly indignant at n das-
tardly attempt to wreck IN express train
on the Great Western railroad near
Reading by placing q number OF sleep
ers across the rails. Luckily the cngi-
nccr sew the obstruction in time, put
down the brakes and the engine plowed
through the obstruction without leav-
ing the rails. The feelngof horror and
indignation which this attempt created
was still being openly expressed in the
newspapers and elsewhere, when at
about noon to-day IN attempt WAS made
near Croydon to wreck the Eastbourno
express train. The rascals who planned
this Outrage placed quantity of fish
plates and iron chairs across the rails
in front OF the express. AS in the case
OF the Reading attempt, the engineer Of
the Eastbournc express caught sight OF
the obstruction in time to "down
brakes" and though his engine ran into
the pile intended to wreck it, the train
went through it and kept the rails. The
engine, however, was greatly damaged,
though serious calamity was avcrtcd.
The criminal investigation depart
ment of Scotland Yard has been asked
to assist the railroad authorities in
making a thorough investigation OF the
Reading ard Croydon outrages.

I LONDON, Oct. S3.--It will possibly
astonish tho fire department experts in
the United States to know that tho fire
on Mack Browns wharf, Toolcy street,
which broke out Mt M early hour on

yet been cxtinguished. This is . sad
commentary upon the pumping capac-
ity OF tho London fire brigade, as vol
as 4 high tribute to the strength OF tho
CONFEDERATION. This fire. it was an
nounced during the afternoon of Oct. 5,
had been subdued by the twenty
engines which played upon it after the
flames had Suttcd an enormous history
warehouses filled with colonial produce,
such as ten, tallow and cinnamon. The
glare from this fire early on that We'd
nesday morning, was SO great that it
illuminated hull OF London. It's Il fact,
however, that the SO called Toolcy street
fire is not distinguished, now making
about the 10Th day. 1t has been burn
ing under the supervision OF the fire
brigade. During that time, however,
10000 tons Of debris has boen removed
from the interior OF the burned ware
house, but Il large mass OF burning ma
tcrial still remains there. The loss in
curred in consequence OF this blaze is
simply enormous.
