The report of the explosion was heard for folly a mile round, and Kirrible excitement prevails. Vast crowds of persons assemblea from all parts of the city. Downing street at the present moment is literally packed by excited people, who are clamoridg for something to be done by the Government to protect them from these periodical outragob. No doubt ijs entertained that dynamite is the terrible agent. The explosion occurred close to the House of Lords, near Westminster hall. It it reported that the explosiye was placed in a crypt under the building. One police- man was hurt. The force of the shock was tremendous, and felt at a gieat distance. The damage done was very great. Rumours are current that another explosion occurred at two o'clock this afternoon at London Tower. The excitement increaseb with every moment. The city is filled with flying rumours. There w^rc two exploRi^ns a. t the ParHamenthoaKe. The second came about three minutes after the first. One was near the House 'Of €(»nmon8, apd the other at Weetminstet hall. One man has been arrested near the scene of the explosion. The detective force is hard at work seeking foither deveVpmeut8, which are anxiously awaited, particularly by people in the neighbourhood of Westminster hall. rax KAOHINE MOXICSD BT A IiAOT. One lady was seriously injnred by the ex plosion in the House of Commons. Immense damage was done in the lobby. The masonry, decorations, and sculpture are utterly da stroyed. The place is described as literally blown to pieces. The shock was felt in Pall Mall, and persons in the vicinity say the eaxtli shook. Sir William Harcourt, the Home Secietary, and Lord Hartington, the Secretary of War, are visiting the scene. Another account of the explosion at West- minster hall says the explosion was more disastroas than at first anticipated. Four persons were badly injured, including two policemen, who are probably fatMly wonnded. A lady who was in the hall spied the infernal machine and called the attention of Potice- man Cole to it. The officers mshed to the spot, seiza^ the machine, and attempted 4o extingnish^ihe fuse, but was not 'qniok enough. The fuse burned so rapidly that the officer became alarmed and droppKcd it. The explosion lollowed almost imuediately. Half of the hall was wrecked. The explosion in the lobby of the House of Commons occurred three minutes later than the one in Westminster hall. It came from directly under the strangers' gallery, and very dose to the seat usually occupied by Mr. Bradlaugh when visiting the Commons. The lobby was completely wrecked, vhe gallery torn down, the Speaker's chair destroyed, and tne massive stone work displaced. PAKAOE TO IHX CHAMBXB. The %lass roof of the House of Commons was oomidetely shattered by the explosion. The clo(^ in the House stopped at precisely 2.13. A heavy beam, whidi formed one of the supports to the gallny, «nder which Mr. Bradlaugh usually »ta, was projected into the Speaker's cbair^ seriously injuring it. Mr. Gladstone's seat was torn to pieces. WHBIS THX BXHiOSnri WAS PLACED. It has been ascertaaied tiiat a large quan- tity oi exidosive matter was placed inride Ihe great ornamental gates lealing to the crvnt under Westnunster 'liall. The gat^s were blown off the hinges, «11 the windows on the north and soatii sides of the immense building were Mown to atoms. The con- oossion «ho(A down from the roof the ac- cumulated soot of eentwes. Thus make sach a dense cloud that the officers became banned and feared to enter the room. la the lohbgr tba splinters were for a time thick MAakesM « blinding snow storm. They were ^oreUed in many eases with a dangerous fb«ML Tbegr cot and ripped the leather frrm tbe eMts and tore out and scattered the koiM itair BtofBnga all.oyor the Honae. The •tatoea of King William IV. and King OeoBge rv. were orertdned. ASUST OT A CAHABUa. The tfazong of peq[de aboot tiie Parliament boildings etrntinaes. wcA is tmnnhiioas with esdtement.

An qre-witneas of the Parliament honse explosion sbts â€" ^After the Bt explosion he mtoed Westminster hall and found three eooataUes prostarsted upon the stairs leading into the eiTpt under the hall, all of whom wareserioo^ injnred. Near by a gentle man lay stretiihed npon the ground com- pletely exhaasted. whose hat and clothing were torn. He has also received severe in- juries. THX IKICAUTT OF TBX BXHiOSIOM. The locality of the explosion in the House of Commons is in a deep shadow, being directly under the gallery. The perso n who deposited the dynamite was thus less likely to attract notice than in almost any other part of the Honse. TSB nUOBBD COMSTABLBB. Police Con«tablts. Cole and Gox, who w«re serionsly injnred in Westminster hall, were still unconscious at 10 o'clock this evening. Their reoerery is considered absolutely hope- less. â-¼ISITOBS IN THX COlOCORfl. Over a hundred visitors were m tiie House of Commons when the explosior occur led in Westminster haU. Most of them rushed out of the building to ascertain the cause of the report, and thus many lives were saved THB rOBCX 07 THE EXPLOSION^ Remarkable force was shown by the ex- plosion in Westminister hall in a downward direction. Holes were scooped in the ground large enough to hold a man. Into one of these holes so formed Constable Cox was violently thrown, ani from it was extricated in a bruised and battered condition. Two other policemen, wlu were near the scene were not so seriously nurt.but were thoroughly stunned by the force of the shock. A farther inspection of the locality of the explosion in the House of Commons shows that the floor- ing HAS driven clean through to the basement. The floors through the building are littered with debns of broken chandeliers, glass, and other objects of a fragile nature. The gas fixtures were wrecked, and it was impossible for Col. Majendie to continue his investiga- tion for lack of proper illumination. The damage will not delay the assembling of Parliament. A WOHAN StISPXCTXn. The fact that an unusual number of ladies visited tbe Parliament buildings to-day has given rise to a suspicion that the miscreants who peipetrated the outrages were women or men in women's disguise. The attendants say parcels were carried by many of the women and they seemed to bestow tmosoal care in guarding them. A SUPPOSXe CLUE. A clue to the perpetrators of the outrage is thought to have been discovered. Just before the explosion occurred a man and woman, the latter carrying a hand bag, engaged a cab outside Parliament yard, and drove rapidly away, givmg no directions as to their destinatioi^ They nad not gone fax when the explosion happened. The cabman stopped the«ab, when the MAN AND WOHAN LEAPED OUT and hastened away. The cabman pursued the runaways, who were overtaken and arrested. The investigations made so far by the police lead to the conclusion that the explosives used in the attack on the Tower were handled by persons who gained access as sightseers. The ruins show that the explosives were operated from a point seme- where on the inner bastion or on the es- planade near St. Thomas' tower. The re- port was terrific, and was beard for miles up and down the Thames. The prevsdent belief is that the destructive agent was con veyed into the House of Commons by some Saturday visitor. TUESDAT. The excitonent over Saturday's explosions still continues in London. The police are active in their investigations, and haye ar- rested an Irish-American named Cunning- ham, whom they believe they can connect ino^e or less directly with the plot. The total damage done will amount to $70,0CO THew EniTland Grange* IB The following officers were elected for 1885 in New England Grange No. 812 :â€" D. B. Ellisâ€" Master. J. Ferris â€" Overseer. P.

The various games and amubements. provided for the evening, was entered into witn a zest by all. Friday last beiug court day there was a large number of people, as usual, ont courting, who, a person would thick, might be old enoas;h to give up such notions but, from their fre- quency in the dock, we suppose they are fond of it.
