EXPLOSION WAS
EXPENSIVE
CANADIAN JUDGE FINES The
MICHIGAN CENTRAL
HEAVILY.
twenty-five Thousand Dollars Must
Be Paid Within Thirty Days or the
Proceedings Will Be Continued.
Guilt Admitted.

The sentence OF the court is that
the Michigan Central Railway Co. do
pay as and for a fine for the indictable
offense of which they have admitted
their guilt. and for the use of our
sovereign lord the king. the sum OF
$685. 900 upon the second count.
IF this sum be paid to the sheriff OF
Essex within 80 days from this date
the attorney general will be request
ed to direct that no further proceed
ings be taken. IL not / shall deliver
judgment upon the first count at the
opening Of the next Sandwich assizes
to which time the court will stand adj
journed after the delivery of this judg.
ment."
This is the punishment for negli.
gence in the carrying OF dynamite
which resulted In the disastrous ex-
plosion at Essex, Ontario. August 10.
IL was imposed when Hon. Justice
Riddell appeared in Osgood Hall, To
ronto, Friday morning The judgment
win be Immediately transmitted to the
sheriff or Essex.
The largest fine that has ever been
imposed in any similar case before the
present one was $4,000.
Before passing sentence, his lord
ship pointed out that the Michigan
Central railway had pleaded guilty,
and that it became necessary for him
to examine into the facts as. present
ed by the evidence taken at the cor
oner's jury.
His lordship reviewed the duties
and rights of carriers" as laid down
by the railway act, in the shipment
OF explosives, and added that the
grand jury by its action apparently
exonerated the employees, or at least
those who had charge of the explosive
in Ontario
I'm my view 1t is not TOO much to
require OF a railway company If it
persists in carrying explosives to do
so only in cars made for the express
purpose in a train on which no other
freight or passengers are carried, and
accompanied by a person who under
stands how to deal with such explo-
sives," said Justice Riddell
Il reiterate that it is my well-con-
sidered opinion that the best way to
prevent similar occurrences, accidents
or crimes, which ever word may be
selected, is TO make it more costly
for railway companies to violate the
law than to observe 1t.
THE great defect in our system is
the want of some officer whose duty
it is to watch for offenses against the
law and cause offenders to be prose-
cuted. OF substantive law and legisla.
ton we have enough and to spare, but
We have always failed to provide
prompt and sure methods for the de-
lection of offenses.
AN offense has been proved in this
case, and it remains only for me to
infiict the appropriate punishment.
am Informed upon affidavit that the
cost to the company is for claims paid
or certain TO be paid, about s11, 900;
for damages TO the company's own
property, $4,000, and there are claims
to an amount over $4,000, which have
not been adjusted"
