Explosion of a Shell at Shooburyncss.

Frightful Consequences,

Oun London correspondent, writing per direct steamor Coptic on February 27th, says :—" About two hours after the closing of tho San Francisco mail last evening, nows was received in town of an appalling accident at tbe School of Gunnery, Shoe burynees, whereby a party of officers were so dreadfully mutilated that their recovory is hopeless. Colonel Lyon, Superintendent of the Koyal Laboratory, went from Wool wich yesterday to carry out experiments with sensitive fuzes of his own invention and a rocket float, which were too hazardous to be attempted at the Rcyal Arsenal. Mr Lowe, tho assistant managor of the Labora tory, accompanied, him, and they wero joined by several officers attached to tho School of Gunnery, including Colonel Fox-Strangways, the Commandant, and also several members of tho Ordnance Committee of the War Office. From tho brief particulars that could bo ascer tained it appeas that as one of the '-sensitive fuses" was Leing screwed into a nine-inch shell, tho latter exploded with torriiic effect. Gunnor Allen wus killed on tho spot; Colonol Fox-Srtangways, Com mandant of the School of Gunnery, had ono foot blown off and his log shattered ; Colonol Lyon, of tho OrdnancoCommittee, had both logs blown off just below tho thigh ; Cap t.iiu G. Adams, Second Experimental Olliccr, had both logs blown oil' and his faco terribly mutilated ; and Warrant Ollicor Buy kin had one leg blown off from tho thigh. Nono of theso officers are ex pected to recover. Gunnor Underwood had ono leg blown oil', and another gunner was also wounded severely. Mr Rowe, a civilian, of Woolwich Arsenal, was severely wounded in tho leg, whilst Captain Lowe and others had narrow escapes. Major Buller, who was 300 yards away, was struck by a portion of tho shell, and ren tlorcd insensible, but his squad-book saved his lifo. Tho disaster has created consterna tion throughout tho garrison and village. In addition to Gunnor Allen, who was killed outright,other two have succumbed to tho terrible injuries which they received, viz., Capt. Goold Adams, Second Assistant Superintendent of Experiments, who lost boiti legs and sustained othei dreadful in juries ; and Sergoant-Major Daykio, one of whose legs was blown clean off from just below the thigh. Thero are seven other officers and men at present under the care of tho surgeon.

From (inquiries made on the spot it ap poars that tho explosion occurred about half-past three, in that part of the gun ranges known as tho Marsh. A party of officers, representing the School of Gun nery and tho Ordnance Select Committee, were at that moment gathered round a " live " shell, to which was being affixed an experimental fuse recently invented by Col. Lyon, Superintendent of the Royal Labora tory. Tbo shell was lying on tho ground, and as the experiment was not considered a particularly dangerous one, no special pre cautions were taken. Tho fuse was in the act of boing screwed into tho shell, it is under stood, by Gunner Allen, when the shell exploded. The alarm was quickly conveyed to the camp, and assistance was speedily forthcoming. Tbe wounded were tenderly conveyed to the Garrison Hospital, where they received every possible attention from tho local surgeons, civil and military. Dr. Theodore A eland arrived by the half-past seven train from London, and rendered moat valuable assistance.

The following statement has been issued by the surgeons: Colonel Fox-Strangways, compound fracture of both legs, rendering amputation necessary below the knees; Colonel Lyons, compound fracture of both logs, which havo been amputated above the knees; Major Bally, severe lacerated wound and tracturo of the spine; Gunner Underwood, compound fracture of the right thigh and other extensive injuries, a_iput|tion necessary ; Gunner Webb, com pound fracture of the right leg (severe); Gunner Macaully, slight wounds on "the legs and extensive Durns; Mr Ranee, civilian, left leg severely injured and right leg scorched; Mr Low, both legs burnt. Current Topics. A mass meeting of Conservatives was held in the city yesterday to condemn the Soudan policy of the Government. Mr W. H. Smith mado an impassioned speech, in which he called upon his fellow-country men to release themselves from tho feeble and vacillating rule of Gladstone and his servile follower.?.

In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord ! Salisbury moved a vote of censure on the Government in a long and eloquent speech. The House was crowded. The Prince of Wales and other Royalties occupied the cross benches, and the steps of the throne wero littered with peers' sons. The papers consider Lord Salisbury's attack cogent and practical. Ho denied that the Conservatives had no policy of their own with regard to the Soudan. Thoy had a very distinct one, but hesitated to formulate it publicly lest their weak kneed opponents should promptly adopt it in the hope of retaining office. Thomas F. Anderson, tbe fraudulent master of the Liverpool Workhouse, who absconded to New Zealand with £240, and wa3 subsequently arrested in the colony and trotted back to dear old England by a detective, was brought up at the Liverpool Polico Court yesterday, and charged. Tho worthy magistrate remanded the prisonor till Tuesday uext. IgThe Court circular announces thafc- Princess Beatrice will be married to Prince Henry of Battenburg on July 23rd or 24th. The first great thoatrical "premiere "of the London season 1885 took place last night at the Princesses Theatre, when the late Lord Lytton's posthumous play "Junius, or tho Household Gods," was produced boforo a largo and representative audience, embracing the Princo and Princess of Wales and almast every social, literary, and artistic "star" now in town. The drama, though a trifle heavy- and ovor-burdened with talkeo - talkeo in blank verse, was generally pronounced a great work and a big success.
