8 THE DYNAMITE = HORROR. European Press Details of the Bre- merhayen Explosion Crime. G ences for Terrible onsequ Greed the Have Other Vessels Had 4 Torphlilin in Their Coal Bunkers? = o sup “RATS” OP MODERN caviar THE DRADLY Ry the Euro mail of the 80th of December at this port yesterday we have the following details and comments by the Old World press of the Bremerhaven dynamite explosion tragedy, its terrible results and the probvabie motives which incited Thomassen to the crime, 4 GANG OF CONSPIRATORS SAID TO BE ENGAGED IN THE DEADLY Wonk. {From the London Spectator, Dec. 25.] The most important point remains—whether this man Thomassen was alone in his terrible wickedness, or whether he had accomplices, and this his confession @oes not tell us, The correspondent of Wednesday's Times, who signs himself ‘‘War-hawk,” and who wrote letters on the same subject to the imes of 17th June, 4873, and to this journal on the 28th June of the same year, signed “Ex- sma,” believes that there is a gang of rnffians engaged in this business of sinking vessels for the sake of the sums insured either on the | vessels themselves, when the gang can get possession f vessols, or on the goods which they carry, when tho former is impossible. And, of course, gangs of rufians not being usually italisis, Mt is not possible for them often to get possession of the vessels themselves; and it they per- sist in their trade, therefore, they will be obliged to at tempt the more frightful « of innocent fellow creatures for every premium of in- surance they succeed in appropriating, as Alexander alias Thoms proof that there were any accomplices of this man in bis wholegale scheme of assassination, In the system as it was described to us in 1873 the captain was sup- posed to be an accomplice in the intention of sinking the vessel, though the crew were notin the plot. The leak was effected bya machine called a ‘‘rat,” which | was placed in the hold near the keel, and its machinery so arranged as to begin boring a hole in the bottom of the vessel at the end of a given number of days, When the hole was bored of course the vessel sprung aleak, and the captain decided, with the concurrence of the crew, that was too Jate to get at the source of the leak, which was far beneath the cargo, and that it would ‘be impossible to stop the leak from the outside. Consequently the vessel was abandoned, and vo proof could ever be fained of the mode in which the leak was originated, hat, however, wicked as it was, was a very different thing indeed from blowing a great ship and all its pas- sengers into the air without giving them any chance even of escape; and it does not quite follow that be- cause there was a gang at work to bring about the former class of catastrophes, there is a gang at work to bring aboot the latter, But’ it is certainiy the impres- ion whieh “Ex-Yachtsman” leaves on bis readers that there is such a gang now engaged in insuring heavily foods op the great lines of French and German packets, with a view to procuring the wreck of those packets: and if it be true, as he states, that an cxact model of the machine’ by which Alexander imtended to sink the Mosel was handed by “Ex- Yachtsman” to the Secretary of a forcign legation in Paris en the 18th November last, it would certainly em probable that others besides this man are pos- eessed of the secret and likely to attempt working it. I this be so, the lookout is indeed terribie. meroly that a lot of more or less educated men—this ‘Alexander certainly was an educated man, for he seins to have moved in good society in Dresden, and to have | been much liked thero; indeed, plots of this kind could | hardly be matured except by partially educated men— ‘are perfectly unscrapulous as to how much slaughter and agony of suspense they inflict for the sake of a little money gain; but what is even worse, that the | Paralysis of suspicion which will be introduced every- ‘where may very well for a time cripple commerce aad cast a fear over even ordinary travelling. ‘two or three great vessels to disappear without any tid- ings of them, after this contession of Alexander’s Could trews easily be found for such ships in future? If they were, would they allow the hold to be filled at all with- but insisting on an examination of every box shipped ? And how could such a precaution as that be adopted without virtaally putting an end to trafic? The prac- tice of maritime insurance, at least, must soon ceas: under this sort of danger. No ship owner would able to secure a crew unless they were convinced that ‘the cargo was uninsured. And even then the suspicion would not be whoily allayed. The guin of asum of money does not seem by aby means the most powerful | of the motives which might lead to so awful acrime. If the winning of a moderate amount is adequate enough motive, a fortiori the desire to remove any one man out of the Way, whose existence was an impediment to the assassin’s designs, would be adequate also. Andin Mhat case even the complete cessation of the practice of maritime insurance, would not persuade the sailors to navigate a vessel in which any of them had got a fancy that there was an infernal machine of this sort stowed away. It would take, we suspect, very few complete disappearances of great ships to embarrass the whole commerce of the civilized world, and to make even society exceedingly suspicious of the ordinary anodes of transi It is clear that what bad impressed the imagination of this assassin and his sccompiices, if he had any, was the absolute security against incriminating evidence if his scheme had taken effect as he mtended. It was so much the better, as far as regards the shaking of this confidence, though far from fortunate, we fear, as far as regards alarming those who will suspect imaginary ssid in future, that the scheme failed before it could put in force, and failed with results which brought to light both the criminal and the methods on which he had rehed. The plausible confidence in immunity from section will thus have received a rude shake; but itis obvious that this could not be given without also pub. fishing to the world what may in future be appre- hended from criminals of this kind, if there be indeed a company of them, all prepared to go to the same ex- tremities as Alexander. The blow to commerce may be very great, not only in consequence of the deterrent effect this affair will probably exert on the better class of sailors, but in consequence of the tendency it may have, if any great ships disappear in future, to throw the service into the hands of niore reckless men, who would expect a higher reward for their work first and be less trustworthy in its execution atterward. There is no panic like thé panic felt by solders who believe the ground they tread upon to be mined, and in this case sailors would be liable to the same panic; nor would the class who would be most likely to overcome the fear for the sake of high wages be atall the most oer under circumstances of real peril of any CRIMINAL PROGRESS IN INGENUITY AND AU- DACITY—ARE TORPEDOES EVER PLACED IN THE COAL BUNKERS OF STEAMSHIPS?

The sub- stance of it was that small torpedoes, made to look ike alump of coal, had been sent from France to a Venezuelan port, where a steamer was to be laden with goods of no valtie, heavily insured, and was to be sent to sea with some of these torpedoes on board in the hope that she might be lost and the speculators gain a large sum. A few days later the Times published a fetter from this gentleman bimself under the title of “Ex-Yaohtsman,” which he has now exchanged for | the more imposing one of ‘*Warhawk.”’ The informa- tion thus given probably put insurance agents on their | guard in England, and about the same time the French Minister of Marine issued a warning circular on the same subject, This torpedo would either ex- plode in a fixed time after being thrown into the ship’s furnace, or it might be exploded as it lay. American “notion,” and seems to have depended tor its effect on the presence on board of some accomplice in the plot, who would of course desire time and op- portunity for bis own escape from the explosion, But if several of these torpedoes were placed in a ship's coal bunkers, it would be reasonably certain that one or more o! them would find their way tnto the furnace and so explode, and thus the expenditure incurred in | fitting out and loading the ship would be recouped, and a handsome sum gained besides. Still it seems that the torpedo jeft something to be desired which the clock- " | work arrangement of Thomas would have supplied. THE ORDINARY DYNAMITE OF COMMERCE fossiliterous earth called Kieselgubr, | usually of seventy-five of the former to twenty-five of | the latter, It is valuable in mining and tunneling where hard rocks have to be dealt with, Professor Abel states that in ordinary mining operations dyna- | mite is safer than gunpowder. ‘There is less lability to spill about and jess hability to its being ignited | bya spark, and though it is more liable under certain | | conditions’ to ignite by concussion than gunpowder still | it will stand safely a very considerable amount of rough usage.” ‘There is, however, danger in connec- tion with ils use or in connection with its being in tho shands of miners which does not exist in connection with gunpowder. This arises chiefly out of the ten- dency of nitroglycerine to freeze, Professor Abel formerly believed, with others, because several accidents had ,occurred, especially with frozen nitro glycerine, that the material in this condition was more sensitive to detonation than when in a liquid state. This, he says, was an error; but, neverthelcss, when the material is frozen, itis much more hable to lead to accident, for two reasonns—first, because men get into their heads a false idea second, because they have to thaw it for use, and in | thawing it they are lable to follow their own rude | notions, Major Majenie, R. A., informs us how they do this in North Wales, ‘They were in the habit, says he, of putting dynamite on a shovel and holding it over | the fre ‘until they began to see the oil run- ning about the shovel.”’ These statements aud maby more on the same subject will be found in the report of a committee of the House of | Commons on explosive substances which sat last year. Major Majendie considered that the law as to dynamite was too stringent, but he spoke strongly as to the danger of nitro-glycerine in tho liquid state. His assistant, Major Ford, visited a maga- zine, where he saw on the floor drops of nitro-glycerimo which had exuded from a box containing dynamite, and he thought, if his attendant had trodden on the nitro- | glycerine it would have exploded. Under some cir- | cumstances dynamite burns much less readily than | gunpowder, but it explodes more readily on concussion, ‘Thus a witness told the committee that if you firea ride bali into it you will explode it, but_by the same means you will not explode gunpowder. The explosive | force of dynamite is much greater than that of gun- powder, and this is why m difficult. mining operations | itis so’ valuable. Dynamite is intensely” active ina small area around the explosion. The local destruction | of gunpowder is much Jess, but itis destructive at a | greater distance. ‘It is stated that THOMAS BROUGBT PROM AMERICA | this is remarkable, because Mr. Nobel, whv iuvented dynamite, has his largest factory at Hamburg. THR IGNITING MECHANISM was a common clock, solidly constructed, and provided witha hammer which was to strike one single blow every ten days, This hammer weighed thirty pounds, There was no audible ticking from the clock, The dy- namite was placed in four zine boxes, which were ar- ranged one above another, the clock and hammer being between the second ana third. The hammer striking upon the dynamite in one of the boxes would cause the desired explosion. The interesting description of the apparatus in the Times speaks of the ‘explosive hquia;’ but this is perbaps an error. 1t seems more likély that Thomas used the dynamite of com- which is @ sort of paste made, as we have y mixing liquid nitro-glycerine with Kieselgubr, , by the way, is largely found in Germany. It ‘Thomas was aware of the tendency of dynamite and other nitro-glycerine preparations to explode sponia- neously in cold weather. But this appears, as regards commercial dynamite, to be an error. Tho truth is that if miners attempt to use the frozen paste and try to force it into a hole by striking on one part of the cartridge with a hammer it is very likely to explode, but this explosion can hardly be called spontaneous, Again, if they pat it into a frying pan and keep 1 there until the oil begins to run about mischief is very likely to ensue, But if it bo thawed by putting” it into @ manure heap or perhaps by taking it to bed with one, it may be used as salely in winter as in summer. In speaking of “icy crystals” this writer has, we think, drawn on bis imagination. His deseription of the zinc boxes boarded over suggests that the dynamite, if liqui } might have exuded through them, and, after that ha | taken place, there might have been an explosion at any moment. Then, again, he refers to the exceptional severity of the weather in Germany, f that wero material; bat there is always cold enough in winter to | freeze, or at least to harden, dynamite We can easily | believe that the concussion from the box falling on the pavement would explode the dynamite, and the effect of that explosion, severe within narrow limits, was ex- actly what we should expect, THE INFERNAL MACHINES OF OUR DAY OF CIV- ILIZATION. (From the London Times, Dec. 27.) The recent deplorable catastrophe at Bremerhaven | has once more drawn attention to the fact that time and money still continue to be expended and talent wasted and misapplied in devising the most refined methods of executing the most dastardly and diabolical designs. Mechanical skill appears to be laid under | special contributions in these matters, although it can | scarcely be doubted that those whose skilful hands con- | trive these cunning devices are perfectly innocent ot | the intended application of their handiwork. As far t present know, he whose wasted life has just t Bremerbaven employed i been engaged in frauds similar | an apparatus, consisting of a hammer, which was to | strike a biow on some explosive substance at the end of a predetermined time, and which hammer was actuated by clock work. chine has as yet been given, although the exact particulars will doubtless transpire during the ju- dicial inquiry. It is, however, by no means im- probable thatthe mechanical arrangement will prove to be very much like one which was designed for a similar dastardly purpose nearly three years since, As Stated in the letter of a correspondent, writing over the signature of ‘‘Warbawk,” and which appeared in the ‘Times of the 22d inst, there was at that time a conspir- acy to ship a quantity of highly insured but worthless goods on board one of the Messageries Maritimes Com- pany’s vessels either at Bordeaux or Marseilies, With the goods was lo be shipped AN INFERNAL MACHINE, which at a given time was to explode, canse the destruc: | tion of the ship and on bod conspirators their miser- able reward. This machine consisted of a chest, con- taining a powerful explosive compound and an explod- Ing apparatus. The pripciple of the expioder was that of the needie-ean, @ needle being driven into ® primed cartridge and causing the ex- piosion or the whole mass of the compound. The mechanism consisted of a needle or striker, set {na bolt, at the other end of which was a spiral spring held ina tube, When the, bolt was forced back into the tube there was, of course, a powerful pressure be- Hind it tending to push it outward and to drive tho peedie into the cartridge, In order to hold the bolt Dack until the proper moment for the discharge had arrived, a cateh or ‘was formed on it, which was made to en ‘with a horizontal lever, having a bam- mer shaped The lever was connected with eprt as to have a constant tendency to reoase Its head from the catch. This tendency, how- | ever, was counteracted by a broad disc of metal which, | deing placed close against the lower part of the lever head, beld 1¢ in 7 piace in front of the catch on the needle bolt. disc was cut a notch sufficiently deep to aifow the lever head to drop into it when that part of the dise was presented to it, and so to release the needle bolt, The dise was revolved by a train of clock. work 80 speeded as that the disc should travel a given distance ina definite time. The edge of the disc Was inarked with a number of one space tepre- senting a day, aud the edge would travel through that Tt was an | is made by combining nitro-glycerine with a sort of | in the proportion | of its’ security, and | } the dynamite with which he charged his machine, and | must be concluded, says the writer in the Zimes, that | No precise description of the ma- | ‘space in one day, Assuming the dise to be marked into ten portions, and the machine to be required to explode in eight days, the lever would be set at the eighth mark from the notch. The clockwork would then be started, andthe disc would revolve until, atthe end of the eighth day, the notch would arrive at the lever head, which would be forced into the notch by its springs. The needle bolt would thus be released, and being im- pelled sharply forward by the powerful spiral epring at its rear would cause the explosion of the cartridge, and £0 of the whole mass of the explosive compound. Thas would be consummated @ catastrophe from which it 1s probable no living soul would escape to record it, It is by no means certain that the miscreant Thomas was connected with the conspiracy in which infernal machine was to have been used, although instances favored the supposition that he was, It | he was, the publicity given to the matter at the time and the fact of the mechanism of the machine having | become known would probably cause him to subst | tute A HAMMER PALLING ON AN EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCE for a needle penetrating a cartridge, And the matter would be by bo means difficult; for, after all, what wo have described 8 little more than a needie-gun lock | released by clockwork instead of by hand, and Thomas would only have to apply the principle of the percus- sion lock to his apparatus, This is what he probably | did, as accounts teil us of the table broken by the force | of ig blow of the hammer when the machine was | trie HOW THE FATAL EXPLOSION CAME ABOUT fs not quite clear, and possibly it never will be made any clearer than it is at the present time. It is to be accounted for on either one of two hypotheses—it may have arisen from the premature release of the hammer, | or striker, by reason of a derangement of tho machinery, caused by @ violent concussion such as & fall would produce; or it may have been due to the explosion of the destructive agent itself from tho same cause. The latter hypothesis, however, opens | up the question of the nature of the expiosive—whether it was pure nitro-glycerine or one of its compounds, lithofracteur or dynamite. If it was nitro-giycerine and # had become crystallized, which will happen at a tomperature of about 43 deg. Fahrenheit, a very mod- erate concussion would be sufficient to explode it; if it was lithofracteur or dynamite, the same temperature would only harden it and rendor it more inert than when in its plastic condition. This point was exempli- fled during somo experiments carried out with litho- fracteur in Wales, before the War Office Committee on Explosives, in February, 1872, and which were re- | ported in the Times of the 22d of that month. There, | upon igniting a sausage of lithofractear with a capped fuse, the sausage being placed against a mill- tary stockade, only @ portion of it exploded, Asecond attempt met with a similar result, while a third only caused the lithofracteur to take fire and | burn. The cause of the inertness of the compound was | | the cold to which it had been exposed for some hours | on ableak hill top. This potnts to the conclusion that nitro-glycerine was the agent used, for it can hardly be supposed that proper care had not been taken to make | the mechanism of the apparatus strong enough to re- | sist the shocks to which transport would expose it, Moreover, the enormous and widespread mischief done appears ‘to be greater than would have been effected by the quantity of dynamite which the box—if the size be rightly stated—could contain, but not more than would be produced by that buik of pure nitro. glycerine Besides, either lithofracteur or dynamite could have been procured on the Continent without | exciting suspicion, whereas nitro-glycorine could not. ‘The latter article, however, is freely used in some parts of the United States, and can be readily procured. Cir- cumstances seem to point to nitro-glycerine as the agevt which caused such widespread desolation at Bre- merhaven, } OTHER PORMS OF INPERNAL MACHINES | have been imported into the discussions which have | arisen upon the Mosel catastrophe. Among these is | the coal shell and the rat, of the latter of which there are two species. By the courtesy of the editor of Jron, | we have recently had the opportunity of examining | one of these coal shells, which came into his possession | some two years and a half since. Weare informed by him that, at the same time, two were sent as samples | to a large colliery proprietor and coal shipper at Cardiff, who was offered any number. It is to be borne in mind, however, that the Plimsoll question was being warinly agitated at that time, and it is assumed by some that these coal shells emanated from some un- scrupulous upholder of the good cause Mr. Plimsoll bas in band, with a view of strengthening his case. The | | coal shell 1s ahollow brass casting, representing a | small lump of coal, about five inches long by three | inches wide and two and one-half inches deep. At each end is a hole for clearing out the core of the casting and afterward for filling it with the explosive compound, The object ot these shells would appear to be not so much the destruction | of the ship by their direct as by their indirect use. | They were probably intended to be thrown among the | coal in the bunkers, and with it shovelled into the fur- | nace of a steam vessel. There they would explode un- | der tho boiler, and would probably by such means cause the loss of the vessel. It is possible that the in- tention might have been to fill them with some ma- terial which would explode, either after a certain time or at the high temperature sometimes present in coal cargoes. But the somewhat open offer of them toa coal shipper, in the circumstances, would appear to point to so very vague and aimless anend that tne opinion that they were intended to promote the Plim- | soll movement appears by no means unreasonable. | The coal shells were evidently carefully moulded from a lump of coal, and when biacked readily deceive the | eye. Tas “RATS,” of which there are two species, are of a more vicious nature. One spiecies is intended to operate upon iron | ships; the other upon wooden ones. THE “IRON SMIP RAT! consists of a block of iron known as “Keutledge,”” | which basa hole bored into it, In which is placed a tubular boring tool containing an acid. On the top of the boring tool is a lever, with a weight at its outer end, and this lever can work to and fro horizontally in ‘a space cut out of the top of the Keutledge. The lever sea and is well carried out to the end, A soprano satan Voice of the Deep,” bass or contralto Elson, Dull and uninteresting, and Tay ween. e Little Tin Soldier,” song. J. L. Molloy.

It consists of a box, in which a ced a pair of | vertical cylinders, one at each end of the box, and spaced about five feet apart. In the centre, between the two, is a horizontal cylinder, having a piston work- ing in it, the rod passing through a stuffing box. Tho outer end of the piston rod works a ratchet drill or au- gur, the augur being weighted. The two vertical cyl- inders are cach half filled with water and communicate | with the horizontal eylinder by pipes, each having | | its own pipe leading to the end of the horizontal | cylinder nearest to it. The consequence ts that as the ship rolls the water alternately quits and revurns to the vertical cylinders, and, acting first on one side of the piston and then on the other, communicates a reciprocating motion to the piston rod, This motion is converted into a rotary motion at the weighted auger, and in time a hole is bored through the planking of the ship, which gradually fills and may be lost before the seat of the leak is discovered. Pro- vision is made for the release of the anger directly the hole has been bored and the resistance to it removed, when it silently drops through into the sea’ Thus the hole is not plugged by the auger and the ends of villany are deteated. Should the hole be discovered and the box be examined there is nothing in it, except to a pro- fessional eye, to show how the hole’ was produced, | Like the iron rat, the wooden rat requires a confederate to place it well for its deadly work.

Peters, New York, in addition to his own im- mense catalogue, has, as agent for the celebrated Lon- don house of Novello, Ewer & Uo., a rare collection of | the best classical works One edition of Beethoven's sonatas published by this house cannot fail to interest every lover of music, The valuable services and long experience in art of Agnes Zimmerman have been cured in compiling this edition of the immortal son- atas, The fingering is carefully marked, and many m- accuracies which have crept into other editions are here removed. The volume in which the sonatas are comprised is of a convenient form and size, and is clearly and handsomely engraved. The same house publishes Mendelssohn's songs, ed- ited and in greater part translated by Natalia MacFar- ren, Itisa complete collection of the lovely songs of the tone poet and is beautifully bound. “Palomita; or, The Veiled Songstross,"’ operetta, in one act Howard Glover.
