NEW YORK, Oct. 28. —The Commer

amined this morning at the office of the
train agent of the Pennsylvania railroad
La Jersty City, an infernal . machine re
o3vered from a mat4s of baggage which
was blown up on_ train No. 34 yesterday
afternoon. The train left Jersey City at
3:10 P. M., and had pissed beyond Me:-
"Lichen, aboi t twenty-two , miles i distant,
when an explosion took place in the bag.
gage ear, hurling trunks inall directions
and setting fire to the baggage. At-Rah
way the train was stopped,, the the ex
tinguished' and orders given to: throw
out the remains of a shattered Saratoga
trunk when a second exploSion took place
caneidg a renewel of the alarm. With
difficulty the employes of the road were
induced to iesume their work. Nothing
further wes'diseovered, aside from a man
tle .
clock with a pistol attached, end a
bottle of Some
,kind 'of black fi,nid of a
nature not' yet diacovered. The hands'
on the clock had been' adjusted so that on
reaching the figure twelve a rough woad-f
en button was moved, thits exploding a
• small breech loadi c g pistol , made fast at
the top of the k. The latter was;,
- discharged into a package of combusti
bles, with the affects already described.
An exploded copper cartkidge was found
among the rubbish. Ihe ,design of the
inventor can only be conjecture& In
any case nothinghesulted more than the
fright occasioned to perons on the train
and -.,damage to several' trunks'. The
rsiiroat= officials hoped - to eippress all
knowledge of the matter, in order that
a watch might be set upon the persoii
calling : for the check attabhed to the in
fernal machine, tint in this they vere-de
bated.' Nevertheless, a searching inves
tigatton is in progress., If the ouject
was to destroy the train, or., the railroad`,
depot and Cars 'when the train was-er
peeted to stop, nothing but a stupid mis
calculation , Hof the inventor prevented:
success.' Theplan was cunningly devised
but in its mechanical execution the means
used - Fere of., the rudest 'deScription.
The villian e,oncerned, is apparently. a fit

A dew phase :in the marketing of the',
oil product of this State, which has oc
crsioned much, excitement and opposition!
among the railroad companies, is the pro
posed laying of an iroa pipe from, the oil
regions to the seaboard, with the view of
forcing the mineral extract through it
and iiripplying shipping with cargoes di
rect. A company exists already author
ized by a 'charter to carry the plan into
'effect, and the siene of the first pipe lay
ing it Brady's Bend, Butler county. The,
oil operators and farmers are generally
in favor of the undertaking, but the rail
way companies are positively hostilciand
will do ail their power to hinder and
embarrass the practical working of the
proj. et. The real ground of opposition
is not that the pipe will take 6,000 bar:
rels of nil a day from the' raiload fr , ights,
but the. far that' the entire product of
the oil regions will eventually he carried
in this way.
Along the Virgin River, in 'Nevada,
are some of the most remarkable salt for
