A SECOND EXPLOSION
ON WELLINGTON TRAM TRACKS. CAUSED BY DETONATOR. (By .Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. A second explosion occurred on the tram tracks this being in Vivian Street in the city shortly aften nine o’clock this morning, and fragments picked up suggest that it was caused by a detonator having been placed on the track. The explosion was not nearly so violent as that which occurred in Adelaide Road, last night. No explanations can be given of the cause of the first explosion which was violent enough to shatter a number of windows and force up the cabin flooring. but it was quite evident that it was caused by an explosive charge on the track.
The car concerned in this morning's explosion suffered no damage and there was no delay to the service. A reference to the first explosion will be found on Page Four.)
