SERIOUS GUNPOWER EX PLOSION IN MELBOURNE.

Me_.bo-_-.-_, June 18.

Shortly before midnight the sound of » loud explosion reverberated throughout the city. The shock was so great that the windows of shops and houses rattled as though they had been shaken by an earth quake. The police and those who were in the streets rushed to the place from which the noise proceeded, and found the explosion had occurred at the shop of Messrs Wragg and Sons, gunsmiths, Bourke-street West, a few doors from Elizabeth-street. - A fearful scene of wreck age presented'itself. The whole of the front of the shop occupied by Messrs Wragg and Sons, as well as that of Mr Peace, a furrier, adjoining, was completely blown out, and the goods forming the stocks in-trade Avere strewn - about in confusion in the street, many things being blown to atoms. The counters and shop fittings were broken up and piled together in inex tricable confusion. The front of the build ings above the shop windows was rent into huge fissures, parts bulging out. lii the bar of the New York Hotel adjoining a number of customers were thrown violently against the walls, two being so seriously injured that they had to be removed to the Hospital. Nearly all the windows of the buildings in the neighbourhood were shattered to atoms. In regard to the cause bf the explosion, nothing authentic can be obtained. People who were passing assert that there were several small explo sions after the first loud shock, and that flames shot into the air twice as high as the Post-office. The flames, however, were merely momeptary, and the assistance, of the fire brigades was not required. There can oe no doubt that the explosion was due to the ignition of , gunpowder, but as, the owners of the shop could hbt be communicated with, nothing could be learnt as to the amount of powder on the; premise.. The two injured men taken to the hospital have sufficiently recovered to allowof their removal to their homes. No further caaual ; ties have been reported.

Election Notices. mO THE ELECTORS OE NEWTON. Gbntlemen,-! am a candidate for your suf frages at the next General Election. I pledge myself to do my best endeavours as follows :— 1. Protect the industries of t_ie colony. 2. Nationalise the land. I regard the Village Sett cment Scheme as the thin end of the wedge to nationalise the land. 3. To impose a Land Tax, and, if required, an Income Tax, in lieu of a Property Tax. i. To keep our present education system intact, .trimmed economically to produce the best results. o 6. And ono vote for one man. I am for measures and not for men. ~ Yours truly, HENRY R. JUQ.J. mO THE ELECTORS OF FRANELYN ' SOUTH. Gentlemen,-At the very urgent request of a large number of influential electors in your very important district, I have consented to allow myself to be nominated as your representative in the coming Reform Parliament, and will positively go to the Poll in the interest of Retrenchment and Reform, and independent of all other Political Parties. I am, Yours very truly, JOHN JENKINS. Newmarket, June 10th, 1887. mO THE ELECTORS OF CITY WEST. G-.ntlemen,—At the request of a large num hbr of Electors, it is my intention to solicit your Suffrages at tho ensuing General Contest. As regards my political opinions, they are such as are held by advanced Liberals. It is abundantly manifest that a sweeping re duction must be made in the cost of Govern' -bent. The Property Tax, which has proved so deterrent to the progress and settlement of the Colony, should be abolished, and in its place Land and Income Taxes imposed. All encouragement should be afforded to people to settle upon the land. Plural Voting should be abolished. The aggregate sum collected through the Customs shpuld be largely reduced, and the duties levied be mainly on articles of luxury and those which can be produced in the colony. The Upper House should be' abolished, but if allowed to continue, its members should attend at their own expense. The above are some of the importantquestiops with which the coming Parliament will have to deal. I shall take an early opportunity to invite you to meet me, in order to enter i. to details on the questions I have mentioned, and explain my views on other matters which should have the careful consideration of electors. In the event of your doing me the honour of returning me, you may. rely upon it that my energies, and thirty years' colonial experience, will be devoted to the advancement of New Zealand, and tb watching over the interests of the electors of City West. I am, Gentlemen, Your most Obedient Servant, E. W. MORRISON. Karangahape Road, June 27,1887. SECOND ADDRESS TO THE ELECTORS OF EDEN. Gentlemen,— I have now great pleasure in announcing to you- that I h/ive definitely de cided, to contest the Eden Seat, and .that.come who ihay, once nominated, I,will go to the poll. .The kind manner ih which the announcement of my candidature has been received by so many of you has'proved to me a groat encouragement, and I intend to make the b6Bt effort I am capable of to win alike your esteem and your sh-frage-. I most earnestly trust that the local which appeared tho other evening in the S,ta__, an nouncing the, candidature of Mr. Mitchelson,. dbesnot correctly represent that gentleman's final decision. " " "'-." "■■ '" The result of us both going to the poll would unquestionably .be to increase tenfold Mr Tole's chance of success. As I cherish the hope and intention of giving the Government one of the soundest thrashings they will get in the colony. I am particularly anxious to secure a strong following of working men ! One lino of tactics, and one only, can possibly, I believe, defeat my hopes, and this line, which is contrary to fair play, I call upon the work ing men of Eden, who I kndw are all lovers of fair play, to defeat. I confess I fear they ahould he ! induced to pledge their votes before they have heard the candidates. ■ ' ,' ' Now I ask of every man in Eden who has ever felt the sweat of honest toil run down his back, to aid me in assisting to defeat such an attempt, whether it is made by my supporters or oppon. nts. The oxercise of the franchise is, whether realised or not, the discharge of a great trust, theexerciseofa great power, and woeoeto the man and to the country in the long run where it is carelessly or corruptly wi.lded. Gentlemen, I may be a stranger tb many of you, and beeapse I we_,r a cloth coat and a bell topper now you may fanqy I know notßing about the working classes, butlcan assure.yoii you are quite mistaken. I, fm, have many many days and years of my the sweat run down my own back, aad perhaps they were the happiest and altogether best days of my life. : ! I am an old colonial hand, gentlemen, andl want the old colonial hands on my side, and I intend to havo them, and, please God, I shall havo them, and no man shall take them from mo, unless he is a cleverer and b-tter man than I,in whioh case ho deserves them, andl,for one, hope most sincerely he may get;them. Gentlemen, we have clever men and a party Renowned for their tactics against us, and you may depend upon it that the Eden seat will never be allowed to fall into the hands of the , enemy without a desperate struggle.'' ! Well, (entiomen, let us see what all their cleverness will do for them. I fear not the .result. Let our hearts be inspired with hops and determination to win. Let us have confi dence in each other. And, gentlemen, le. us stand shoulder to shoulder. If we do this wo will show tho colony how a constituency of New Zealand can back a man and c vena comparative stranger, if it is only led right', whatever be the personal faults, or the weakness of the leader If you show this, gentlemen, to New Zealand, I can assuredly say that you -will have done something which is very dear to my heart, apart entirely from the fact that in doing it you. elevate me to a position winch I have long ardently .desired to attain—to represent my fellow-colonists in the Parliament of the country, Gentlemen, whilst I have cautioned every man who does not thoroughly know the candi dates and their political views, not to pledge ffls vote Until he has fully heard both sides, yet thero are many of you who know both myself and my political opinions well, and also those of my opponent and who are determined already, upon good and sufficient grounds, to support my candidature. The early and hearty support of this class of my friends is invaluable, andl will appoint by advertisement an early day upon which I will meet those gentlemen who are prepared to act upon my Committee and to work heartily for ray return. I have the honour to be, GHmtlemen, A, A Your most obedient servant, J. AITKEN CONNELL. Public -Votieeg. GET one of Any 40_o,Overcoats.. They are very taking with the fair sex.—J. H.
