ANOTHER DYNAMITE EXPLO SION IN THE CITY OF LONDON.

An Attempt to Wroolc tho Underground Railroad.

Tho Windows of a Passing Train Shattered and Porflons Thrown Down.

London, January 2.—A dynamite explo sion occurred on the Underground Railway, betweon Gowerstreot and King's Cross station, at 9.30 o'clock this evening. The windows of a passing train woro shattered and tho gaslights extinguished. Beyond this no damago was done. The passengers were greatly torritiod, but no one was hurt. Tho train resumed its journey after a delay of 25 minutes. Tho'shock of the explosion was folt by tho residents of Euston Road between St. Pancraa's Church and Judd-street. The railway runs tho wholo length of Euston Road underneath tho roadway A crowd speedily collected at a vent-shaft at tho hoad of Ossulton-streot, from which, at tho time of the explosion, a quantity of smoko issued. As soon as possible after tho ox plosion a number of porters were sent to the spot with lamps and appliances for clear ing the line. * Up to tho present time nothing has boon found. The rosidents in the locality woro greatly alarmed. Tho shock overthrow sovoral wayfarers on Euston Road. It was with great diffi culty that horses on theroad woro restrained from running away. Tho gaslights in the Oowcrstreet station wero extinguished. Tho ticket collector in the station was thrown from his box, and tho engineer working tho incandescont electric light machinory was thrown from his seat a ais tanco of threo or four feet, landing on his face. Tho lights in other trains in the tunnel wore extinguished by tho explosion. The paesengors wore greatly alarmed, and many ladies fainted. Tho Gnwer street platform was literally strown with forms of persona prostrated by the shock. Tho houses in the vicinity were shaken, and tho roadway oscillated. Two trains wero passing each other at the time of the explosion, and in both the lights wero ex tinguished. Windows woro shattered, and tho framework of sovoral carriage doors was smashed. The groen, red, and white lights at the front and rear of tho trains were extinguished. Tho ticket collector at tho Gower street station describes tho report of tho explosion as sharp and ringing in character, like the discharge of a small pieco of field artillery. The point where tho explosion occurred is directly under the road leading to tho main entrance of tho London and Northwestern Railway station. A lady's nose was cut by glass, and one gentleman had his side and faco, and another his wrist, cut. These aro the only Borious casualties reported. All tho pas sengers loft the trains at tho Gower street station. Many of them woro in a half fainting condition. Superintendent Williamson, of Scotland Yard, and tho superintendents and inspoc torsof various districts arrived attho Gower fitroet station half an hour after the explo sion, and immediately proceeded down the lino. They discovered tho signal-box east ward of St, Pancras's Church partially wiocked, tho signal wiro separated, and the clock stopped at fourteen minutes past 9. Close inspection showed thnt tho ex plosive material could not have been gun powder, as the surrounding brickwork was not blackened. It must, therefore, have been either dynamite or guncotton. The locality of tho explosion is on the north Bide of the lino, midway between St. Pancras'g Church and Charlton-street. The only clues are a few fragments of paper which wero found strewn about tho track.

At tho site of the explosion there is a holo in the solid masonry about four feet from the ground, with a diameter of four feet and a depth of five or six inches. The masonry is more or less damaged for some eight feet all around the hole. The effects of this explosion correspond almost exactly with those of the explosion at the Praea street station fourteen months ago. Both the trains which met at the time and place of the explosion wore fairly crowded with passengers. The third-class carriages suffered most from the shock. The locomotives of both trains sustained no damage. The signal man who had charge of tho wrocked signal box aays that the Hoor of the box was heaved up by the explosion, and he was half stunned. Speedily ascertaining that the signal apparatus was sale, he relit the gas and telegraphed up and down the line. The fact of the meeting of tho two trains at the place of tho explosion is regarded as acci dental. The bolief is general that some miscreant dropped the oxplosivo with a time fuse attached from an earlier train proceed ing to the city. Near tho spot the police found a man's cap, some pieces of twine, and some burnt fragments of rag. London, January 3.—Colonel Majendie, the Chief Inspector of Explosives, and a part of railway officials to-day inspected the scane of last night's explosion in the Under ground Railway tunnel. The only injury that was discovered was a triangular in dentation in the masonry about three feet from the ground, and averaging two inches in depth. Colonel Majendie decided that the explosive material was dynamite. A passongor on a train that left Gower street for King's Cross Station a few minutes before tho explosion, says he saw a man who wore an ulster with a fur collar and a soft wide-awako hat enter the com partment next to that in which he sat. The man carried a parcel, apparently of con siderable weight, which was wrapped in cloth of American manufacture. Shortly after tho train loft Gowor-streot, the man let down a window of the compartment with a loud slam. Ho got out at Farring ton-street and walked away. Ho was then without tho parcel. The passonger thought tho stranger had forgot it, and looked over tho partition between tho compartments to sco if it was thoro. It was gone. Tho landlord of tho Rising Sun Hotol, which is noar tho scono of the explosion, says that tho shock was folt in his houso sovoroly. Ho hoard a loud rumbling noise, and tho house seemed to be shaken to its foundation. He was loaning over his bar at tho time, and was lifted nearly a foot from tho floor,

Mr Win. Froston, who was engaged in tho defonce of Dr. Gallagher, and who gays tho dynamiters unjustly suspoct him of having given information to the Govern tncnt, said to-night that he believed his houso in Euston Road was the objective point of tho attack. Ho says he was stand ing at a front window of his houso last oven ing, when he heard a sound like the dis charge of a small cannon. Several seconds aftorwardho heard a terrific report, and his houso tremblod with tho shock. In another second ho hoard and felt a still greater crash, which caused him to fall.

Mr Freston is tho only one of the many witnesses of tho affair who hoard more than one explosion.

The latest report is that a reward of $100,000 is to be offered for the arrest of the perpetrators by the combined action of the Home Office and the public. The "Pall Mall Gazette" heads the ' subscription with $100, and says: —"They come high, but we must' have them. The sum pro posed iB more than they aro worth, but it i? a cheap insurance against further outrages."

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

Captain Thomas Fholan Dangerously Stabbed In O'Donovan Rossa's Office.

Cause of the Affray.

New York, January 9.—At a late hour this afternoon, several men rushed out of 12, Chambers-street, in which building is located the office of_o'Donovan Rossa and the " United Irishman." ■ In a few seconds a man, covered with blood, tottered down the stairs to the hallway, and sank on the front stoop, while his blood covered the sidewalk in a stream. Several officers rushed up, and seeing a few men making towards Chambers-street and the City Hall, followed them. Ono of them, a tall man, was captured and brought back to where the dying man was lying. "Is this the man who stabbed you?" asked the officer.

" Yes, that is the man," was the reply: "but, by heavens, if I'm going to die I'll die game, and there will be two of us." With that, and before the bystanders could realise bis intentions, he drew a revolver and fired two shots in quick succession at the man standing before him. One of the balls took effect in the thigh of his would be murderer. The man who was stabbed proved to be Capt. Thomas P. Phelan, of Kansas City, aged forty-nine, and his as sailant, whom he says stabbed.him, gave his name as Richard Short of 861, Tenth Avenue. An ambulance was summoned and Phelan was taken to the Chambers street Hospital, dying. He is stabbed in the neck and breast and several other places. Short, it was stated, came to the country with the man who, in tho summer of 1882, shot at " Jim " McDermott in Capt. Ryan's bar-room, in Chambers-street. He is said' to be a native of Cork, where ho was ono of the principal loaders of tho movement directed by o'Donovan Rossa. Phelan was one of the originators of the skirmishing fund, and was at one time suspected of I being the famous "No, 1," mentioned by!

Informer Carey in his evidence. He has been an Irish Nationalist all his life, and been always prominont in Iri°h revolution ary movomonts. Pholan's Wounds.

Photon's clothing was cut in nevero! p'.aces under which there was no wound. Lne four stabs In tho back woro slight) two iust below oithor shoulder wero two inches deep ; tho soventh was in the right Bido of tho neck ; another penetrated the chest, and each arm received a thrust. The right arm was almost severed at the shoulder. Coroner Martin came to tho hospital to tnlio the wounded man's anto-mortein state ment. Phelan said ho Would give a true story and, proceeded i

An Anto-mortom Statement. " On last Sunday week the interview be tween myself and tho editor of the Kansas City 'Journal,1 was published in t.io 'Journal.' The paper is now id my pocket. I afterward received a letter from John T. Koarnoy, asking mo to come to this city. I telegraphed him I would bo here January Bth. When I arrived to-day I culled on Kcarnoy, and together wo went to O'Donovan Rossa's office. Rossa was not in. A man named 'Rocky Mountain O'Brien ' camo in while we were there. Ho shook hands with mo in a friendly way, and a-ked how I waß. Ho then left. A man, whose name, I think, is Barker, came in with a knifo in his hand, and he immediately approached and struck at mo about the chest. I was seated in a chair at the time, and wardod off tho blow. Ho made more thrusts, and stabbed me several times. 1 sprang to my foot and ran downstairs, but Barker followed me and cut mo again and again. On tho street Barker was brought before mo. I recognised him as being the man who stabbed mo, and supposing he would stab me again, I shot him.' The police found tho knife with which the crimo was committed on the top step of the second flight of stairs leading to Rossa s offico. Its blade was five inches long and sharpened on both edges. The handle was twisted with twine to give a firmer grasp. O'Donovan Rossa came to his office after nightfall, and pretended ignorance of the whole affair. When told a man had been hacked to pieces in his office, he smiled in credulously, but afterward he showed con sternation and asked for all the particulars. Ho was told to go to the station-house for information, and he suddenly locked his door and disappeared. Tho " Journal" Interview. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 10.—The inter view with Captain Phelan heretofore men tioned as published in tho "Journal" of t'lia city, December 21st, is devoted chiefly to the revelation of a plot to blow up the steamer Queen, and the description of the manner of manipulating a mysterious dynamite machine. The machine is simple, but works with fatal precision. It consists of a reservoir of acid which drips upon a tube enveloped in sheets of tissue paper. It takes a minute for the acid to eat through each sheet of paper. In this case 120 sheets were wrapped around the tube. When the last sheet is eaten through, the acid runs down the tube and upon the percussion cap beneath, and then tho explosion. The machine is noiseless and almost infallible in working a terrible injury. Speaking of himself, the Captain said he was a dynamiter out and out, belonged to the Irish National Society and was obedient to their call, having participated in many of their plans for terrorising the English Government. He determined to return to Liverpool and save the Queen, in order to protect the lives of the hundreds of people who would sail on the next voyage. Many of these people were his own countrymen, men, women and children, going to join their friends in America.

An Interview With Rossa. New York, January 10.-The following statement in the form of an interview with O'Donovan Rossa is made public to-day : " Did you ever write to Captain Thomas Phelan ?" was asked of Mr Rossa. " I did, I sent him a copy of the Kansas City 'Journal,' asking him to erase anything in his interview in it which he did not acknow ledge as his." "Did you receive an answer to that letter?" "I did not."

"Did you not receive a telegram from Captain Phelan telling you that he would come on to New York and meet you at your office?" "I did not."

" Then you had no knowledge that Cap tain Phelan was coming on to New York ?" "I had not."

" How did you look upon the interview of Captain Phelan as published in the Kansas City 'Journal'?" "I considered him a traitor to our cause, if that interview were correct."

New York, January 13.—1t is the general idea among those who are interested that Phelan will not be satisfied with punishing Short for criminal assault, but that he in tends to punish all his gang, and prosecute them for conspiracy to murder. It is also thought that attempts may be made to persuade Phelan not to appeal to the law at all. Phelan promises to make it hot for everybody.^ "

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

[by telegraph—own correspondent.]

Cambbidck, this day. An untonanted house belonging to the Rail way Department, situate on the station grounds, was burned down yesterday morn ing. The house was originally occupied by Mr Hably. The cause of tho fire is at tracted to larrikinism.

Dunedin, this day. The house at Peninsula occupied by Mr Honry, telegraphist, was burned down yes terday. Mr Henry's effects were insured for £100, and Mr Hooper, to whom tho house belonged, for £200; both in the Royal offico.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Miss Ward, Mr Vornon, and Miss Anstead.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,—Air W. H. Vernon, or rather Miss Ward and Mr Vernon, like Folonius, "Btill harping," scorn determined to have the last word. Determination is a good thing, but they should not have declared tho battle ended and then attack again. In fact, if Mr Vernon, on behalf of Miss Ward, had u.sed the better part of valour, and not re plied to the Wellington correspondent, thore would have boen no further attention paid to the matter, but as the Star has condescended to make a local of it, I am under the painful (?) necessity of saying a fow words more. In the first place, Miss Anstead is not an amateur, and any prominence that she may have given to the various chaiacters which interfered with or displeased Miss Ward could have been obviated by the stage manager cutting the lines, or inti mating to Miss Anstead that for Miss Ward's benefit she need not depend entirely upon the author, but make as little of the parts as possible. It has been sufficiently proven that no notice of rehearsal was posted until Miss Anstead had left the theatre, and it is quite evident that it was intended she should not see the "call," thereby affording the management v mean and indirect oppor tunity of gaining their point. Now, I should advise Miss Ward and Mr Vernon to have a piece written with only two characters, like "The Morning Call," for instance, in which case there would be no salary sheet, and no cause for ship discipline or rehearsal, nor letters in the papers.—l am, &c, J. W. Dodge.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib,—ln your issue of the 6th instant you publish a telegram from the Town Clerk of South Dunedin, viz: "The gasworks water supply is obtained from a separate reservoir to that which supplied the Brigade Demonstration, All humbug about tampering with the supply. The low pressure was owing to the city consumption." As this telegram reflects on the statement made by the Thames and Auckland teams, please publish the following: — Ist. Re sup- Ely obtained -from separate reservoir, Junedin iB supplied from two reservoirs, viz., WoodviUe and Silverstream ; the gas works are supplied by Dunedin Corporation; and the South Dunedin, which supplied the Demonstration, is also supplied by the Cor poration of Dunedin through a meter from these said reservoirs, the same as Parnell is supplied by the Corporation of Auckland. Open a scour or let a pipe burst on any of those supplies, and tho pressure is reduced over tho whole system. 2nd. The low pressure is admitted, but attributed to the city consumption. Strange that for two days at certain times the city consumers should open thoir ser vice taps for, say ordinary purposes, and reduce the pressure from 1451bs to IOOIbs, 801bs, and as low as 401bs, as waa shown by the pressure guage.
