PIRATES IN CANADIAN WATERS.
An Official Report Showing How a tranded
vessel Was Forcibly Plundered.

.H NHEEH
A story published in the report of the
minister of marine, presented to parlia-
ment, indicates that pirates and wreckers
still ply their trade along the Canadian
coasts. The Montreal Is a steamship of
over 5000 tons burden, owned by the Mis-
sissippi g. Dominion Steamship company.
In August last she left Quebec for En-
gland with a full cargo, some passengers
and a crew of sixty. While steaming down
the Gulf of st. Lawrence a dense snow
storm and fog came on, and the steamer
went ashore on Belle Isle aud became q
partial wreck. 'Twenty-f five minutes after
going ashore all the passengers, officers
and crew. We're safe in the ships boats,
which were out all night in the dense
snowstorm. Next morning they were all
safely Landed. Although the wreck had
sunk she was in very low water, and for
several days the master and crew worked
getting her cargo safely out. The story Of
piratical acts is then told as follows:
One day some wreckers boarded the vessel,
and, defying the crew. piundered her. Later on
they came into the cove with their schooners
and anchored. Then they made their boats fast
alongside of the steamer and came on board in
large numbers. They intimidat d the crew,
stole the deck fittings. sails and gear, ana with
hatchets and rowbars destroyed II large portion
CT the decks in their endenNor to get ut the
cattle IND sheep. Ropes were put down tho
opening and boxes of cheese and various articles
OF cargo were secured and immedi ltely removed
from the steamer. The master and crew were
utterly powerless In the presence of greatly
superior numbers. Tho cattle and sheep which
had previously been safely landed were hunted
about the island, caught and killed, tbs car
casses dragged down the cliffs, where boats
We're in readiness to receive them.
Deputy Minister William Smith, the
COMMISSIONS who inquired into the whole
matter, concludes his report by saying it is
difficult to find a remedy for these piratlcal
acts in such isolated sections. One means
of assisting to trace and detect the men
who are guilty Of such crimes would be to
have all fishing vessels registered with
numbers upon their sails. This matter
will shortly be brought up in parliament.

The Cashier Was in It.

Evidence of g startling nature was given
in the Hurley bank robbery case by j. z.
Lennon, brother of an attorney. He said
two weeks before Christmas Ed Goodland
came to him with a proposition to make
$4,000 apiece, saying that Cashier Reynolds
had offered him that much to help rob the
bank. The witness asked Goodland if
Perrin had anything to do with the scheme,
and was told,h e knew nothing about it.
The defendant, Edward Baker, said he
came to Hurley broke and went to Perrin
for help because be had known the latter
for twelve years. Perrin, the witness testi-
fed, gave him $1,000 to buy q saloon.
This, less the cost of the license and other
minor matters, was the money he had on
his persol when arrested. Baker en-
leayored to establish an alibi by testifying
that he was Of the theater at the hour Of
the robbery.

Richer Than He Looked.

Edward Osterman, an Englishman 2G
years old, was arrested at Hoboken as a va
grant. Recorder McDonough, on being in
formed that the prisoner had escsped from
the prison van in Jersey City, decided to
commit him to the penitentiary for three
months. Upon arriving at the prison Os.
terman was ordered to strip for a bath. He
refused and his clothing was forcibly re-
moved. Hidden beneath his undershirt
was found a chamois belt which contained
five bank of England notes of G10O each

Wicked Plan.

~ - -
The Custer Chronicle has an unique
scheme whereby the prohibition law may
be evaded and its aims defeated. 1t is
nothing more nor less than to organize q
new church known as the Sacramental
church, and to have the organization per-
fected and ready to open on the day fixed
for prohibition to go into effect, and con-
tinue indefinitely. The doctrinal tenets
upon which the church is based will be of
the most liberal and conservative charac-
ter, and the form of worship will be of the
simplest order, consisting mainly = in
taking sacraments, which will be admins
tered ad libitum, and not at stated inter-
walls as in other churches. The church will
be open to all applicants for admission to
its fold, excepting only prohibitionists,
who under no circumstances need apply.
