WAS A FRIGHTFUL CRIME.
Plotted by Those Who Tried to Blow Or
WeIIand Canal.


weIIand Canal
Niagara Falls, n, Y, April 24.-If
Karl pullman, John Nolin and John
Walsh, the dynamiters who last Satur
day morning tried to blow out lock
on the Welland canal at ThOrold, had
not been so free in their use of whisky
the chances are that good many Of
the people of the village Of Merriton
and the country roundabout would
have been drowned. The men did their
planning when they were sober, but
when the time came for their last and
most dangerous move they were drunk.
AS a result they did their work care
Iessly and used topers' judgment in
their selection of a time to put their
plans into execution.
They lowered dynamite into the lock
at 1880 o'clock in the evening, when
they could plainly be seen from dis
lance Had they waited till midnight
and gone to the scene sober they would
no doubt have blown out the lock and
swept the town of Merriton out Of ex-
istence, destroyed section Of Thor
old, and devastated vast area.
The Canadian authorities are at pres
ent as much in the dark as to the mo-
tive Of the dynamiters as they were on
Sunday. They are also without posi-
tive knowledge Of the identity Of the
prisoners. Three theories have been ad
vanced-that the men were hired by
Boer sympathizers; that Fenians insti-
gated it, and that the men were hired
to do the job by enemies Of the Connor
syndicate, hoping by the destruction Of
the Canadian waterway to prevent for
this season the passage of any grain
through to Montreal.

in clear voice, thus dashing the last
hope of the friends of Quay, who had
expected confidently that the distin-

he has sought for some months past.
