CAUSE OF ON
INQUEST ON VICTIMS OF ASTER
AT ESSEX.
Leaking of Nitro -Glycerine on to the Car
Floor Probably the Cause—Dozen
Witnesses Heard.
Essex, Ont., despatch: Before Coroner
Brien an inquest was opened at two
o'clock this afternoon to enquire into
and, if possible, fix the responsibility
for the dynamite explosion which snuff-
ed out two lives and did nearly a quar-
ter of a million dollars 'worth of pro-
perty damage last Saturday morning.
Nearly a dozen witnesses were exam-
ined and a mass of technical informa-
tion adduced, after which an adjourn-
ment wee taken until Aug. 23, at which
time it is expected several important
railway official; will have been sub.
penned to tell what they know of the
matter.
The inquest was held in the muni-
elpal building, which withstood the force
of the explosion fairly well, and, in fact,
is about the only building in the town
where any public gathering can now
be held.
Crown Attorney J. H. Rodd, of Wind-
sor, conducted the examination of wit -
lessee, and his line of questioning would
indicate that he desired to procure an
admission that the explosive had not
been properly packed for shipment.
e Mr, E. A. Wisner, of Essex, was
present on behalf of those whose pro-
perty had been destroyed or damaged,
while Mr. W. D. Saunders, of Toronto,
represented the Michigan Central Rail.
way Company.
The first witness called was Mr. C. E.
Naylor, owner of the planing mill, and
probably the heaviest loser in the ex-
plosion. lis stated that he had been
inside the car a short time beioro the
accident occurred and had seen a num-
ber of wooden boxes about two feet
in length and less than a foot In
width piled up in a loose fashion at
the eastern end of the car. 'The floor
of the car where the .boxes stood was
covered with what looked like a dark -
brown fluid, about the consistency of
molasses. The witness had also seen
A. 0. Stirrers, the railroad agent,
looking into the car with considerable
concern, though at the time he had no
idea that there was anything wrong.
In reply to a question from Crown
• Attorney Rodd, Mr. Naylor said he had
observed a large placard on the ear door
With the words Dangerous—not to be
placed nearer than six car lengths from
engine or caboose" The witness said
that the car wee left on the side-track
right near the business portion of the
town, but he did not care to make a
guess as to the length of time it had
been lying there.
Jae. H. Coulter told how he had ob.
served a number of iron pipes fn tho
same car with the dynamite, though
just what connection there was be-
tween improperly packed dynamite and
iron pipes at the other end of the ear
was not made clear,
Delong's Teachnical Evidence.
Tho evidence of Mr, Datong was of
a most technical character. He de-
scribed the mode of manufacturing
dynamite and nitro-glycerine, and ex-
plained the various ways of packing it
when used for oil -well blasts. Ten -quart
tins were usually used and the explosive
was never shipped in it pure state, hut
was mixed with pulp -wood and some-
times with sawdust 50 an absorbent. In
the event of the dynamite not heron
perly dried out or 'cured" after being
mixed with the absorbent there was'dan-
ger that in a temperature el more than
80 degrees the nitro might leak away,
and he believed that the liquid discover-
ed on the floor of the car was probably
nitro-glycerine, which had lxcome separ-
ated from its absorbent. The witness,
however, explained that dynamite, if
properly "cured," would not leak under
any circumstances unless exposed to au
intense heat,
An attempt to get the witness to
admit that dynamite Id inspected be-
fore shiputett to see if it is up to.
standard grade was met by the state
tent that he had never heard of any
inspection whatever, He did venture
an opinion, however, that, in his judg-
ment, there should be a regular system
of Inspection of dynamite and all other
high-power explosives.
Wallace Ritchie testified that he had
stood in the railroad yard when the
dynamite car was being moved and the
wheels passed over several greasy spots
on the track whore the liquid had drop-
ped from the ear, directly beneath the
ear wheels. He had informed Agent
Stirrers of what he had seen, and was
of the opinieu that the latter had or-
dered the car to be moved away at once.

Was Imprisoned Between Two Walls for
Forty-eight Hours.
New York, Aug. 19.—Sealed up for
forty-eight hours in a hole in the
cellar wall of Charles P. Iiroll's
aaloon, at No. 1213 Fulton street,
Brooklyn, a black eat was released yes-
terday when a mason tore down a por-
tion of the wall, The feline's cries led
to its discovery.' It seemed to have
suffered but little as the result of its
long imprisonment. The proprietor suf.
ferect more.
Lust Saturday morning masons tore
down a portion of the buiiding'a cel-
lar foundation and put in a new Wall.
That night, while a pinochle contest
was on in a room in the rear of the
saloon, the players were annoyed by
the constant wailing of a eat.
By patting their ears to the floor
they came to the conclusion that
pussy had been incarcerated under the
•floors. With an axe Kroll chopped up
the flooring behind the bar, while his
wife tried to coax the eat from its
hiding piece. The eat answered with
Int Suoow," but did not come out. Sun-
day morning Kroll futilely chopped up
some more of the woodwork, Then on
going to the cellar Kroll found that
the ories came through the new atone
masonry of the foundation wall. For
several hoeare he tried to make an open-
ing in the wall at the point whence the
sound eeenad to come, but he one fin-
ally compelled to give it up.
Yesterday morning a mason demol-
ished .a large section dP the newly con-
structed wall and in a small opening
between the mtlsonry and the wall of the
adjoining building the eat was found.
Mr. Kroll was informed that it would
cost him at least $200 to repair the
damage to the floor of the saloon and
to the cellar wall.

F. J. Tobin, in his annual address, clear-
ly demonstrated that the union had

twelve-month which has been concluded,
and his statements were more than jus-

elections were upset on the ground that
there had been fraudulent practices. A
motion was submitted to the convention
proposing to refer the whole matter to
n committee, who should have power to.
hear evidence and who should report to
the convention. Considerable discussion
took place as to whether this course
should be adopted, or whether the mat-
ter should he considered by the conven-
tion as a whole, and after some warm
pasmnges between the supporters of the
rival candidates, the debate was adjourn-

MONTREAL FACES WATER FAMINE.
Supply Cut Off From Upper Floors of
Buildings.
Montreal, Aug. IJ.—Montreal again
has a water famine. Despite assur-
ances of the authorities Montreal woke
up this morning to find that iia water
supply was almost as bad as during
the suspension of the twelve million
gallon Worthington pump in February
last. In the east and west ends there
is very little water, In the up -town
district there are large sections where
not a single drop of water can be ob•
tained from any of the upper flats,
while the supply- on the lower, flats is
running in trickling streams only.
Thousands of complaints have been
made and are still coming in about
the water famine. Some idea of the
state of affairs may be. obtained from
the fact that the low level reservoir,
which is the main source of the city's
reserve supply, has but five feet of
water in one section and only 11 feet
in the other section, whereas both sec-
tions ought to have twenty-two feet,

Paris, Aug. 10.—Thee condemnationsof
Soleilland, the child murderer to death
and the general cry of all the conserva-
tive press for a revived of the death. pen-
alty—held in abeyance by the nonpay-
ment of the salary of the public exe-
cutioner and the pending bill for the
abolition of his office—are likely to
amount to nothing. In the meantime -
the executioner Anatole Deibler or Mone
aieur de Paris" as he is called in ro-
mance, has been interviewed and has de-
clared himself strongly in favor of uapr
ital punishment—not, however, on. ac-
count of the pittance he receives from
the Government for his work, for be is
quite a wealthy man..
Anatole Deibler is the son of the form-
er executioner, who recently died„ and
whose father wasin the same profes-
sion before him. The present Deibler
has much curious and more or lees
pleasant information about his art and
his instruments, if only one can gain
his confidence. He has two guillotines,
both built in 1871, the. previous machine
baying been burned by the Communists.
Each cost $000. The triangular knife,
which weighs fifteen pounds, is worth
$10. The total weight when it fnlls with
its cast-iron back, is ninety pounds, and
it drops from a height of eight feet.
What are the impressions of "Mon-
skur de Perk" when he presses ' tarn

qualtny," but "it is all a matter of

"a mere surgical operation." Indeed, he.
has a deep souse of his usefulness to so-
ciety. Out of the 172 criminals whom he
has executed, only one had reached his

from eighteen to twenty-six. And he

Admiral Fisher Gives Way and Consents
to Strengthening the Channel Fleet
—Long-drawn-out Contest Between
Two Sea Dogs.
London, Aug. 19.—Lord Charles Ber-
esford made a speech at Liverpool re-
cently, the true inwardness of which
le unknown to the general pubic. TO
those behind the scenes it contained a
ring of triumph, wldclt marks the vic-
tory of Lord Charles in his contest
with the present Lords of the Admir-
alty, and notably Sir John Fisher, the
First Lord.
These two sea dogs have the same
,objects in view, the strengthening and
the most effective disposition of the
British navy, but they do not see eye -
to -eye In regard to the methods by which
these ends can be obtained.
Neither "Charley" Beresford nor
Jacky" Fisher is accustomed to mince
words in expressing his warm convic-
tions, and the language in which each
expressed his opinion of the other was
at tunes redolent rather of the quarter-
deck, not to say of the fo'caatle, than of
the drawing -room.
Lord Charles Deresford's main con-
tention was that Sir John Fisher's pol-
icy of strengthening the horine fleet
weakened the navy's striking fol'ce. He
kept hammering away at this on every
possible occasion, and his popularity in
the country is fie great that Admiral
Fisher, whether on hie own initiative
or under advice, has at last given way,
and within a short time the Channel
fleet, which Admiral Beresford com-
mands, will bo strengthened by the ad-
dition of several vessels.
Notice of this has not yet been made
public, but the intimation has been con-
veyed to Admiral Beresford that his
wishes will be followed out on condition
that he creates no further friction.
