Dublin. Nov. 2s-The excitement In the city
was added to to-day BY the discovery this
morning Of an Internal machine at the Broad
stone Railway terminus. II contained four de-
tonators and consisted OF n canister loaded with
some kind Of explosive. 1t was found under a

police station. where experts examined II.
There is evidence to-day at Lower Castle
Yard the Dublin Metropolitan Police Head
quarters. Of much suppressed excitement. In
the hotels and other public places the topic OF
most interest Is the reports bearing upon the
work Of the alleged dynamiters. Not since the
EXPLOSION at Dublin Castle eleven months ago
have dynamite and dynamitcrs engrossed so
large a share OF public and police attention.
The murder last night near quay on the
River Ilmey Of Patrick Reid. who is supposed
to have been connected with the dynamite con-
spiracy. has added much to the mystery Of the
case but the police hope to be able TO clear
up the whole affair This morning they ar
rested John Mearns. an unemployed grocers
assistant. on suspicion that he shot and killed
Reid Mcarns seen In Reds company
before the tragedy. man was arrested last
night Immediately after the shooting. and the
police believe that one Of the two was the actual
murderer and the other his accompcc. IL Is
still thought that the three men were concerned
In the dynamite plot. and fearing that Reid
would turn informer the other two put him
out Of the way. The police have ascertained
that Mearns left Dublin the day after the ex-
posion occurred near the detective Office In Ex-
change Court, and that he returned only re-

coroncrs inquest was held to-day on the
body OF Reid. \ brother OF the dead man tcst-
fled that he knew Of no one who entertained en-
nifty against his brother. and he could not ac-
count for his murder His wife also testified,
but she knew nothing that would throw any
light on the case. The surgeons who made the
post-mortcm examination testified that the
weapon had been fired within six inches from
Reds body. The wound could not have been
sef-innictcd The inquest resulted In an open
verdict.
II is said that the police believe that they are
the scent OF the conspiracy To which all the
recent explosions I'm Dublin are due. Several
persons who are believed to possess knowledge
Of the conspiracy were examined secretly to-day.
The police have obtained evidence connect
ing the dynamterS with the murder of Reid
The dynamiters doubted Reid's fidelity and
asked him 10 go to America. giving him Il to
do so. Last evening two comrades went with
him to the North Wall quay to see him aboard
the Liverpool boat. There he suddenly changed
his mind and refused to leave the country. His
companions quarrelle1 with him. and the quar-
rel was kept up In the streets until they
reached the lonely spot where Reds body
was found by the police.
