MURDER WILL OUT.
A Horrible Crime brought 10 Light
AnOr yInny Years.

Captain N. II. Jex, OF Port Huron, fow days
ago succeeded In raising the schooner Tx.
plorer, which was lost on Lake Erie In 1867,
and in doing so has revealed fearful crime,
which for all these years has been hidden by
tho waters OF the lake. Tho Explorer, com
mnndcd by Captain Waddoll, and with u crew,
consisting OF two acamon and n boy, sailed In
the fall Of 1867 from Windsor to Mhnltoulln
Island, having cargo lnvolcod as whisky AMI
valuable mill machinery, rated Mt $4,000,
and heavily insured, as was also the schooner.
She was lost on tho 2bth OF November with all
hands, except tho captain, who reported Mt
tho timo that tho schooner struck on
tho Single Shoals, nvo miles from Toner
wong, and sank before tho crew could
not from her, and ho himself had a narrow
escape from death. Although the story was
suspected at the time by tho companies, the
Insurance money was finally paid. When tho
divers reached the sunkon vessel, the other
dry, they found n body halfway out tho COM
panionway, tho door OF the cabin having Deen
wrenchod open, evidently by tho man whose
body was found, and on examination II was
discovered that tho cargo consisted of 0fteon
tons OF stone, and that twelve one aud a.half
Inch augerhol had boon made In the bottom
Of the vessel. The explanation seemed to bo
that the cargo OF whisky and machinery had
been landed I'm the United States, the holes
bored In tho vessel and plugged until favor.
able spot for sinking her was reached, whom
the captain made his crow drunk, locked them
In the cabin, knocked out tho plugs and made
his escape, the insurance money being the
reward OF his crime. Waddoll was himself
drowned In 1873, as have also been two OF his

Goodwin Smith on Ireland.

IOHUOH ITWIIIs
Mr.. Goodwin Smith must somewhat regret
his violent article In the NineteehM Century. rs
the opportune'publication of the PdN Nal
Gazette Of q letter written by him In Novem-
Der, 1867 ION the day OF the execution OF ''the
Manchester martyrs'O, reminds the public
that this very Mr.. Smith, who is now urging
the most violent measures against ireland and
Irish members, was then something OF Homo
Ruler himself and entirely sympatnized with
tho popular aversion TO that union which no IL

another example OF tho truth OF tho old saying
that renegade Jews always become the most
ruthless officers OF the Inquisitlon. How Mr..
Goodwin Smith reconciles his invectives
against the Irish "separatists" with his own
exertions for Canadian separation, I am un.
