A disastrous fire occurred in Queen's Koad to»day, resulting in the total destruction of the premises occupied by William Whitely, whose stores in West Bourne Grove were destroyed in a similar manner in November, 1880. The loss is estimated at £500,000. Another Infernal Machine Explosion. An attempt was made to-day to destroy the barracks at Dublin by an explosion, but the infernal machine which was intended for the purpose exploded abortively, and but little damage was done. Discoveries have been made of active plotting among the Fenians in Dublin, in which it is believed the projected destruction of the barracks was to have played an important part. Detailed plans for an organised rising, lists of persons interested, and arms have been unmasked in a garden attached to the house occupied by Patrick Egan. The police effected the arrest of Egan, who was brought up at the police court to day, and remanded.
