Excitement on a Steamer.

The 800 passengers on the steamer
Mac.alister were startled yesterday after
noon. when volumes of deuse smoke
noured over her decks as the steamer
was starting from Washington on her
trip to Marshall Hall. The excitement
increased as the boat turned and went TO
the engineers wharf and the new fire
boat Firefghter came alongside. But
the boat was not on fire. as the passen-
gers at first thought The issuing of the
smoke was caused by gasket on a stay
bolt in the firebox blowing out, stopping
ahe draft and causing the smoke to be
forced through the doors of the furnace.

TorpedOes on the Track.

Some practical joker early last night
placed three torpedOes on the electric
railway track on King street, and when
= train struck them they exploded with
a dealening report, scattering fragments
in every direction. A piece of one Of
explosives struck well-knowH citizen
on the leg, making wound over an inch
long, and he was compelled to secure
medical aid. Another fragment struck
a lady with whom he was walking and
made a slight wound, which bled some
what. A man who happened to be
nearby was also struck and injured by a
fragment of the explosive. Services IN
the various churches had begun and the
congregations we're startled by the re-
ports of the torpedoes. Reference has
several times been made in the Gazette
to this dangerous species Impractical jok-
ing. Somebody should be made respon-
sible for such conduct, especially on a
Sunday night, when King street is
thronged with people. Railroad com
panies should see that torpedOes are kept
out of the hands of irresponsible and
thoughtless people.
