| ST. CATHERINES,O ONT. June 4. = A

| Canada the day of the execution of
Joe Brady, a Phoenix Park murderer,
| to blow up a certain part of the ca
nails. The government Immediately
warned their representatives. Sat
urday, May II, large number of men
known to be loyal subjects, and who
lived in the district, were stationed
at short distances along both the old
and new canals, to watch movements
of any suspicious character. The day
before Brady's execution, fifteen men.
each carrying a medium sized
satchel, jumped from the train at st.
| GATHERINGS, having just come over the
suspension bridge from Buffalo.
They were Immediately Swallowed by
private detectives, who were sent to
the place of the supposed attack
on the canal, who soon after
overheard enough conversation
of the new arrivals to be convinced
that this was the party that they
were commissioned to watch. The
new arrivals walked about appar-
emily unconconscious, but at the same
time were making arrangements
for carrying out the object which
they had in view. A few of their
number were sent along the canal to
select suitable spot to destroy con-
nectlon between Che upper and lower
lakes. They had not gone far, how
ever, before they found that their
secret had got to the ears

numbers of men stationed all along
the canal in sentry boxes. The dele
CATION returned to st. GATHERINGS
where the party Immediately dis
persed and returned as quickly
as possible to the states
The watches are still stationed
along the canal guarding the lock,
day and night. A go Vernment official
being interviewed said to-day: 81 am
satisfied we did not take our precau-
tions one hour too soon. A gang
came over from Buffalo Sunday, and
when they found the canal guarded
at every point they dispersed and re-
turned to that city"
