An immense gathering took place il
the pretty mountain glen of st. Mullins
County Carlow, recently. A platform ha'
been erected upon rath in commandin,
situation in the center OF large green com
monage. 1t was spacious and solidly con
structed one. At II o'clock on Saturda
, nipht all the inhabitants of the glen Wer
, astounded bv tremendous ex xplosion Til
windows of the houses in the neighb prhoo
of the green were smashed and a lodge tba
unroofed. When morning broke tn
alarmed people hastened to question eac
q other as to the cause of The explosion bu
it was soon at an end. 1t was found tha
the plafprm had been shattered in bits b.
: the explosion, the timbers had been sen
Q flying to great distances in all directions
{ and the earth ali around was unrooted
Nor was this the worst A search hay
, ing been made in the neighb ,rhood Q
the wreck, no less than three large cal
= tridges of dynamite were found conceale
a upon the ground which few hours aftel
}, ward was to be occupied by thousands O
f innocent persons. 1t was then evident tina
!. the same material had been employed il
causing the shock at midnight. 1t tseems t
. be doubtful whether the Tory Hartmann
did not prematurely cause the explosion
when they were only laying the train fo
: the much v wider and more devastating CO
t tastrophe they were preparing for mex
q day. In any case the people seem to hav
been saved by something little short of
y miracle from wholesale destruction.
