A, dastardly attetTap—t ;as made to wrack
the mixed train dne at Goderida at 7.30'
Saturday night, by putting two square
sticks of timber between the rails. The
train was a heavy one, and the rails were
slippery on account of the ram, so the
engineer had slackened down' and the
train was moving slowly at the time.
Otherwise there would have been a terrible
disaster, as it seems that it was intended
to run the train do via Lie bank, which is
on 0 vary sharp curve about half a mile
east of the station. Had it been the night
mail train trotting would have saved it
from a complete wreck. The affair has
created. intense excitement in this quiet
community. Every effort will be made to
discover the fiends who attempted this un-
wonted Mime.
'Henry P. Romp, an engine wiper of tho
.G. T. B., was arrested here, Tuesday, Nov,

structions on the track that so nearly
derailed the 7:30 train en Saturday evening
last, The ease was worked by G. T, R.
Detective Chas. Spence, of Toronto, and
Constable Yule, of Goderioh. Rump, who
does not appear to be perfectly sane, wrote
a confession of having perpetrated the
deed, but assigus no CRUSE for his action.

ed not guilty, but Mayor Seeger, after

ExplanationtUd
To the E'ditor of the Exeter Times.
In your issue of Oct. 2511), your Luoan
correspondent attempts to give a report of
an entertainment held in Lucan under the
auspices of the Ladies' oirele of tbe Metho-
dist church. In his report he very strong-
ly condemns one of the speaker*. without
giving to the public: what the speaker said ;
thus becoming the sole judge himself with-
out giving the facts to the public and
allowing them to judge fog themselves. I
woulcl not refento this matter were it not
for the faot that the Rev. Mr, Kennedy is
misrepresented, and in his (correspondents)
report there, ate statements that aro untrue,
and believing in fairplay I think it only
right.that your correspondent should bis
shown up by givitigthe facts te the publics.
Now for the facts :—Bey. Illrfaennedy was
offieially invited to attend this entertain -
went and give an address on "Ireland and
the Irish." Mr. Kenuedy Aid not care
about the task, but to accommodate, coil- .
iented, at the same time intimating that
he did not know that he could give thena
satisfaction on tkat subject, bat their rep-
resentative was willing to risk that. He
first gave a geographical desoription of the
Emerald Isle. fle then spoke of its inhab-_
itants, saying that a large, proportion, per-
haps fourliftlas were Roman Catholic.
He then.went on to say that great -enmity
exists between the two Beets, that 'years
ago in some parts of Irelend the Protestants
were in eonstant dread of R0111411 Catholics.
liere he gave some instances. In politics
he believed the Irish Roman Catholics were
disloyal to the British Empire. He spoke
of the wars of Ireland and thought if the
people would quit wrangling and do as
they ought to do they would have plenty to
eat and be prosperous like the people of
England and Scotland, As a remedy he
thought if the Emerald Isle was freed from
the power of Roman Catholicism, order
would be restored to that disordered land.
He spoke of the Irish as being cheerful,
witty, warm-hearted and hospitable, Here
he paid a compliment to the Irish
people. He also said that Ireland was not
without its great men in the literary world,
but had not time to speak of them. The
above is an outline of the speeoh, the nom-
position.of which is a matter of history,
and statements fairly deduced from his-
tory. Your correspondent seems to inti-
mate that Mr. Kennedy took too much
time and says that he spoke 33 minute
but is not hoaest enough to tell that the
two preceding speakers spoke about 40 or
45 minutes each. When your correspond-
ent says that the speaker "all the while"
was heaping scorn and insult on a certain

Sufeleyour pondent cannot think
that the speaker was doing this when he
was giving a geographieal description of
Ireland and speaking of the people as
brave, cheerful, wifty, etc. If he does
sensible people know better, Again, your
correspondent tells ns that the speaker
"had been repeatedly wat•ned that he was
in Biddulph, and that the' audience was a
mixed one.” This is another untrue
statement. Mr. Kennedy was not "re-
peatedly warned that he was in Birldulph,
andthe audience was a mixed one." On
the contrary before the entertainment
began he spoke to the chairman and asked
hina whether the audience WAS likely to be
a mixed one. Just what that gentleman
aid to Mr. Kennedy I will not say, but he
did not warn him that the audience was a
nixed one and Er. Kennedy understood
bet the coast was clear. All that was

hat he said, but did not add "that the,

as no warning, and between a chairman

a bit of entertainment for the audience,

tood it. So he WRS 110t, "repeatedly warn -
