TO DESTROY a TOWN.
A Friend Attempted to Dynamite
Gate of Great Reservoir.

A dispatch from St. Mary's, Ohio,
says an attempt was made on Tues
day, % instant, by an unknown per.
son to blow up the gates at the head
OF st. Mary's reservoir with dynamite.
Fortunately the charge OF dynamite
was not sufficiently large to destroy
the masonry or to displace the heavy
gates.
There has been much i'll feeling
among the people living in the vicini.
ty OF the reservoir, owing to the wide
spread belief that the banks of the big
body OF water are not safe, notwith.
standing that the State has spent
large sums of money during the past
year In strengthening the earthwork.
Had the object OF the miscreant been
attained Tuesday the town Of St.
MarY's and the adjacent valley would
nave been swept by a most destructive
flood causing enormous loss of life and
property.
Although the damages are limited
mostly to broken windows In that
city; to the wrecking of one house
near the bulkhead and one State boat
and the partial breaking of the bank,
there is great excitement here because
1t Is feared that the attempt may be
repeated. The shock was plainly felt
at Celina at the western end OF the re.
servoir, a distance of 10 miles. The
charge Of dynamite and nitroglycerine
was placed on the wicket gate and a
slow fuse attached from which there
were three seperate shocks. The ex-
plosion wrecked the upper parts Of the
wicket and damaged the stone subut
ments, but not to such an extent as to
liberate the waters. Houses in the i'm
mediate vicinity were greatly damag-
ed and the occupants were stunned.
The bulkead is the outlet of Lake
Mercer into the Miami and Erie
canals and holds back nine feet of
water covering 1900 acres OF land.
St. Mary's is II feet lower than the
lock and the loss that would have &c
companied SUCCESS Of the attempt is
hard to imagine.

1t is just and wholesome rule that
a captain shall command his own ship,
no matter who is on board. IL he has
the sense and spirit to enforce his au-
thority, there is the less chance of dis
aster from pcmpous meddlers. A story
is told of Emperor William which may
or may not be. probably is not;
but it illustrates the principle just
stated. The story is. that when the
royal yacht was entering port, the
kaiser noticed that the boat was slow
ing down, in accordance with the orr
ders of the pilot, an old Norwegian
named Nordhuus, who knew the chan
mel and its dangers. The emperor rang
the bell for full speed.
Nordhuus placed himself in the way.

huus through the tube.

yourself under arrest
Leave the bridget" repeated Nord-
huss, grasping the wheel more firmly.
'Thfs ship is in my charge and I'll
have no interference with my orders
from king or seaman"
The officers on deck hurried silently
aft, in their hearts wishing luck to the
pilot. Nordhuus stood at his post, UNI
shaken by threats, deaf to commands,
and carried the yacht safely into har-
bor
The next day the emperor came to
his senses, and decorated the pilot with
the order of the black eagle
