OCTOBER 19, 18853 Departure of the Marquis and the Princess.

Tae Marquis of Lorne and the Prin. cess Louise leave our shores to-morrow. | They have filled the highest station in this country with ability and dignity ; and their ‘‘footprints’’ will be seen here | as long as we remain under the protec- |

tion of the Great Empire whose worthy representatives they have been — perhaps longer. They gave! a great impulse to Canadian art and}

literature, they encouraged manly and healthful sports und recreations, and they | showed that simplicity and common everyday usefuloess and goodness are not inconsistent with a high position and great wealth. We unite with the Press of Canada in expressing the regret of the people of Canada at their departure.

The Personal Attack on Sir John.

Supposing Mr. Blake were in the position occupied by Sir Joha * would THe EXaMINneR pronounce him inno- cent?” This question is asked by the Patrict. If the Judge upon the bench had declared him innoceut, if the prose- cuting attorney had stated in open court that there was not even a * probable ground’ forthe charges agaiust him, and if his prosecutors themselves had “agnavimeusly determined” to withdraw the “personal charges,’—certainly. By all means. THe Examiner would not dare to defame, would never dream of defaming Mr. Blake, as the Putriot—in the light of the explicit statements, and the more siguificant acts of his opponents and bitter enemies—has defamed and continues to defame Sir John McDonald.

The Patriot urges that it is unlikely the bribes were given without Sir John’s knowledge and consent. The most likely thing in the world! In every political contest, in which party feeling runs at all high, many things are done of which the candidates know nothing. Pre- vious tothe last election the agents of that pure, good aud great politician, Dr. McIntyre, flocded the constituency with the contents of “black ducks” and whiskey bottles ; and but for the **custora of the country,” ete., Dr. McIntyre, stainless as he is, would inevitably have lost his seat. Though Dr. MclIotyre him- self conducted the canvass, has the Patriot been constrained by Toe EXamivnerR to defend him against the charge of being personally concerned in the disgraceful and illegal acts by which his agents com- promised his position? It has been proved that the agents of the Grit candi- date, who opposed Sir John in Lennox, used bribes. Does the Patrict mean to say that because he was present using every legitimate means to defeat Sir John, the Grit candidate was himself personally guilty of the bribery?

The Dy:amite Scare. Particulars regarding the dynamite scare in Halifax are published. A despatch says:—For some days past, the City Marshal and Detective Power have had their eyes on two suspicious looking char- acters loafing around the town. They put up at the Parker House, Oxford block, Barrington street extension. They had no visible means of support, but loafed at the bar-rooms, did a considerable amount of drinking and acted ina suspicious way

generally. Last night they were out pretty late. This morning, Detective Power called up to make some en‘

quiries about them. He went to their bed room and found two valises; one of them was open and found to contain dynamite cartridges of the most expensive and most explosive quality. Both valises were filled with this deadly material. Detective Power waited around the locality, and about two o'clock, when one of the occu- pants of the room put in an appearance, promptly arrested him. The prisoner gave his name as James Holmes. The detective then took his prisoner to the station, mean- while leaving some one on the lookout for his companion. Holmes did not submit to the inevitable without some resistance. At the station he was searched and a large ‘‘bull dog” revolver fully loaded with heavy bullets, another smaller and peculiar looking revolver, and a number of large cartridges and dynamite caps were found on him. He is an able bodied tnan; has the appearance of being an American, and is certainly a suspicious looking individual. The other man, who gives his name as Bracken, was also arrested. Detectives are at work on the cases. A railway check found on Holmes was taken to the Windsor and Annapolis Railway depot by the police and found to

cail for a package containing a complete and |

peculiar’ diving suit. The arrested men claim to be miners. Sensational stores con-

necting them with O’Dynamite Rossa are afloat.

Matcotm Wits one of THE ExaMINer’s | close to his head that he could feel the

newsboys, met wit! a sad and sudden death this afternoon. He was returning from Spring Park, driving a water-cart, and sitting upon the rigiit shaft, immediately in front of the water-cask. Striking the horse

with the reins, the animal jumped, causing jhim to

fall from the cart. The wheel struck him on the left temple and passed over his head. The injuries received by the poor little fellow soon proved fatal. Doctor Jenkins was at once sent for, but before he _ arrived young Willis was dead His body was then taken into the Dominion House whence it was conveyed to the residence of his parents on Weymouth Street. He was the son of Robert Willis, laborer, formerly of Souris, and was about twelve years of age. While awaiting thearrivalof the doctor, Mr. H. B. Smith, of the Dominion House, was unremitting in his efforts to aid the injured boy, doing everything in his power to relieve his sufferings. Towards his parents Mr. Smith exhibited great kind- ness.

The Rifle.

The shooting match between a team from H. M. S. “Griffon,” and a city team came off yesterday at Kensington Range, and re- sulted in the defeat of the ‘‘Gritfon’s” men. There were seven men on each side, Mar- ine Hunt, Artilleryman Bourke, Corp. James, of the Artillery, Marine Appleby, Gunner Roebuck, Seaman West, Seaman Oram, representing the ‘‘Griffon;’ and Sergt. Hooper, Lieut. R. V. Longworth, Sapper Hooper, Sapper J. M. Davison, Lieut. McGregor, Lieut. Scott, and Copl. James Offer, composing the home team. The match began at one o’clock in the after- noon and terminated shortly before five p. m. The ranges selected were the 200 yards, 500 yards, and 600 yards. Seven shots at each range, making a total of 105 points the hfghest possible. Most of the Charlottetown men did admirable shooting, the two Hooper's and Lieut. Longworth making 84 points each out of the possible, averaging a center for each shot at each of the ranges. SapperJ.M. Davison also made the creditable score of 80 points. On the other hand, the ‘‘Griffon’s’ men did not do nearly so well, probably because the ranges were new to them. Their highest score was made by Marine Hunt, who secured a total of sixty-eight out of the possible. The ‘‘Griffon’s team used the Martini-Henri rifle, and the Islanders the Snyder rifle. The afternoon was all that could be desired for shooting there being scarcely any wind, while the light was ex- ceptionally good for this time of year. The following are the totals made by the differ- ent marksmen :—

It is learned that Her Majesty's man-of-

war Dido has been ordered to Jeremie for

the purpose of making an investigation into the case. It is considered that the matter is an outrage upon the British flag, as the captain of the Alps was acting under orders from the British Consul. The Dido will demand an apology and reparation for th«

The Jerome Park Swindle. It is believed the pool-sellers throughout the United States lost $100,000 by Satur- day’s bogus despatches from the Jerome Park races. $25,000 was lost by the Coney island gamblers. The Western Union is unable thus far to ferret out how the work was done. The swindle was very shrewd; it implicates the operators who sent the messages and the jockeys in the first and last two races, as their representatives placed the winning horse in each of these in every city. It also involved the employment of men in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other places to do the betting. The suspicion is that the wires were tapped just outside Jerome Park. The genuine despatches were received by the tappers, the names of the winners changed, and the altered de- spatches sent. The chief operator of the Western Union office, surprised that the races were being won by inferior horses, telegraphed to the New York operator,

press ‘‘What did you get in that package the other day?” The tappers could not answer, and telegraphed back: ‘‘Wait a minute,” evidently intending to get an answer from Jerome Park. The chief operator answered: ‘“‘No; [ want an ans- wer immediately.” The tappers then, it is supposed, restored the circuit, Jerome Park was reached, and the plot exposed. The men who tapped the wire were familiar with the pool-sellers’ cypher, used to desig- nate the names of horses. The New York pool-sellers did not lose anything, as their places had been closed by the police.

FIRING UPON THE STEAMER ALPS—STATE- MENT OF CAPTAIN SEIDERS—AN APOLOGY AND REPARATION DEMANDED.

New York, Oct. 16,--The Atlas line str. Alps, which was fired upon at Jeremie, Hayti, on Sept. 20th, while taking on board refugees from the Haytien revolt, arrived at her pier yesterday, and was boarded by an eager crowd, anxious to ascertain what damage had been done to the vessel. The injury done to her is but slight, but it is considered a miracle that no person was killed.

One shot crushed through the stern of the boat, penetrating into the mail room, which was empty, and proceeding on through a stout partition of a cabin, where it exploded. One of the fragments struck the large looking-glass, smashing it to pieces, and then went through the wall into the pantry, where a quantity of glass and heavy silverplate were demolished. An- other fragment took the opposite direction, smashing off a corner of the table and de- molishing several chairs, after which it went through a port-hole into the sea. The glass and heavy brass fastenings of the porthole were wrenched away and followed the shell overboard. Still another frag- ment demolished the two glass lamps about the cabin, made a large dent inthe roof and dropped tothe floor. The two frag- ments were secured by Capt. Seiders of the steamer. They weigh about five pounds each, and are probably the centre and end pieces of the shell. ‘‘T had received in- structions from the British consul at Port au Prince,” said Capt. Seiders, ‘‘to stop at

Jeremie and take on _ board eleven women and children and one aged Spaniard and land them at Jamaica.

Jeremie was in the hands of the in- surgents at the time, but I was assured that they would offer no resistance. We rushed the town about 11 o’clock on September 20th, and anchored about two miles off shore. A small boat was sent for the refugees, and we were just receiving them on board when the battery above the city opened fire upon us. We reached the refugees below, and I ordered the British flag to be lowered to half mast, thinking that this would prevent further firing. I[ saw, however, that they intended to sink the vessel, and we immediately started and steamed “ahead without waiting to weigh ouranchor. Just at this moment the shell which entered our cabin struck us, and was followed up by others, which came danger- ously close to us. The shells were conical, and were fired from a heavy battery over the hiil within the city. Seven shots were fired, but only three struck us, two striking outside and did no damage except to dent the iron plates. Had the shot which entered our cabin struck six inches lower, it would have disabled our rudder.

Royal Highness stood on the rear platform of the car and gracefully acknowledged the ringing cheers and waving handkerchiefs of the crowd.

Shooting Niagara.

LAST FEAT OF THE ‘MAID OF THE MIST,” AND A SCow.

When the little craft that has been named the ‘‘Maid of the Mist” was about to start on her last perilous trip through the Nia- gara gorge, many persons offered to go aboard andjmake the trip, but all were re- fused permission, One, more crafty than the others, James Scott, of Lewiston, quietly got on the boat and concealed him- self until after she got partly out into the river, to the centre of which she was being towed by men in small rowboats. Scott was compelled to jump into the river and swim ashore. His anger was too great for

utterance. After being released the boat at first turned sideways and lay motionless for several minutes,

Then®3 she gradually got into the swifter current, and finally dashed bow on into the first breaker at headlong speed. From the upper banks she seemed like a toy being tossed about on a miniature ocean. The banks were 200 feet high, and the reality was that a large boat was careen- ing and plunging in a mad surf. The passage was made without accident in three minutes. A strong wind blowing from the west sant the ‘‘Maid” over toward the American side, and instead of following the current into the whirlpools she skimmed the outer edge of the maelstrom and passed safely down theriver to Lewiston, where she was captured. Interesting as was this event, one which followed it was doubly so, A scow fourteen feet in length, equipped with a mast and sail, was placed in the river above the whirlpool rapids. The boat soon became conscious of the impetus of the current, and it went into the rapids at a brisk speed. The mast was torn from itg socket, and the sail was torn into shreds by the action of the waters. At the whirlpool the dismasted scow was car- ried on with the surf. the maelstrom she got between two oppos- ing currents and began to revolve, slowly at first, and then very rapidly. Suddenly the boat was thrown on end and was grad- ually sucked beneath the surface. Twice did the boat come up into view again, but the waters refused to give up their prey,
