ATTEMPTED DESTRUCTION OF THE PARLIAMENT HOUSE—TWO TERRIFIC EXPLOSIONS ON BATURDAY.
—_—
(Quebec Chronicle Oct. 13.)
Nothing that has occurred for years past | in the Ancient Capital has made so pro-
nneasiness as the attempted destruction of | the Parliament House on Saturday last.
THE FIRST EXPLOSION,
At twenty minutes to one o’clock Satur- day afternoon the whole city was startled by the report of a terrible explosion, causing people to rush out of doors and eagerly enquire the canse. The news of the catas- trophe at the Parliament House spread like wild-fire and it was astonishing to note with what rapidity thousands of people rssembled npon the scene. What they saw on reaching the spot was a great gap in the front wall of the new Parliament House some thirty to forty feet square and quite adjacent to the East end of the wing of the Departmenta! Buildings facing the Grande Allee.
NARROW ESCAPES Those who were in the immediate vicinity ! of the Parliament when the explosion occurred, found themselves tottering upon their feet from the force of the con- cussion, The report was of terrific volume, and paralyzing in its lawful force and sud- deness. A shower of bricks and small broken stone and debris from the interior of the building was blown into the air and fell like hail in the immediate vicinity of the structure. Immense blocks of cut stone torn from the outer wall were forced with fearful velocity across the lawn in front of the building, tearing up the grass in their mad career. Two ladies residing in the terrace facing the wing upon the Grande Allee, were walking up the upper end of St. Eustache street, at the time, and narrowly escaped being struck by huge blocks referred to, THE WOUNDED.
Several men had been seen about the building a few minutes previously, and the report was circulated that a namber of them had been killed. Fortunately, how- ever. such was not the case. It was the workmen’s dinner hour, and none of them but two were near enough to receive any injary Only one of the two was sericusly hurt, one Martel, who was struck in the throat by a stone. He was conveyed to his home and medica] assistance summoned, and it is hoped that his recovery will be speedy. As the crowd of spectators in- creased, people looked at each other in blank amazement, or asked questions which no one could answer, The donkey engine boiler, which had at first been considered responsible for the explosion, was seen to be still in good order, and another theory was that the heating apparatus had burst, proved to be equally fallacious. Slight re- flection served to show that a very power- ful explosive alone could have effected the destruction of such ‘a solid piece of masonry, operated as it was,in the open air, and subjected to no resisting force, for the building was without roof, doors or windows,
THE CAUSE.
Dynamite was soon whispered around as the cause of the catastrophe, and the rumor ained confirmation when the story was cir- culated of the discovery made that morn- ing by acouple of workmen. In the cor- ner of the new Parliament House, adjacent to the Departmental Buildings they had found it necessary to remove a pile of stones from the second floor, Under them was a small valise, which they thought belonged to some of the stone-cutters. It was left opposite the window whence the explosion subsequently occurred, and no- hody here now doubts that it contained the dynamite and the infernal machine which exploded it. Srill nobody could account for the motive underlying so diabolical a plot. and a genera! sense of uneasiness pervaded all present. The contractor and his work- men, the police, members of the Govern- ment and Government Engineers were alike perplexed, and it was some time be- fore anybody ventured very near the build. ing. Most of the glass was broken in the windows of the V'epartmental Buildings overlooking the court-yard enclosed by them. The shock in the varions offices,and the crash of broken glass led to the mejority of them being rapidly deserted. SECOND EXPLOSION. A reasonable time having elapsed, a

east co ner of the block. The masonry here is double the thickness of that blown away by the first explosion. Nothing but a quantity of lime dust ascended from the building, and no blocks of stone were hurled from the wall, Yet the damage is ‘far in excess of that cansed by the first. | The whole corner is so terribly shaken thot ‘it ean barely hold together, and must all be demolished. A number of officials who had ventured back into the Departmental oftices since the first explosion, lost no time in again taking leave of thelr desks, and jnobody would again venture in for the ‘remainder of the afternoon. Mr. Charie- ‘bois, the contractor, had wisely dismissed (his workmen fer the day, after the first explosion.

A Story for Wholesalers.
| A correspondent of the Monetary Times, (Oct, 10), writes:—Some time ago, while |visiting one of our larger towns, I met an lold acquaintance whom I had known in ‘the dry goods business as a successful mer- ‘chant. He had removed from a smailer ‘place with increased capita) and experi- lence. On enguiring as to his welfare he
igaid :—
**T came here from —- worth nearly $20,000. I have lived economically in a rented honse and stick more closely to business than I ever did before, and this town has been improving rapidly. My first year was taken vp with establishing a
ltrade, and I succeeded better than I ex-
pected. The second year showed a fair margin of profit, and during the third | My neighbors in business have established here, and seem to
{have fallen into extravagant habits of ‘living, own fine houses, ete.
One after another has offered compositions, which have been accepted. Ihave remonstrated with wholesale men, who sell to me as well as to them, and they put itin this way: They have sold goods to these men for years and made a govod profit out of them, now thcy can afford to let them off a little; at all events they are willing to give them a chance. One is paying 75 cenis on the collar, another close by 65c., and that one across the way, who has over $30,000 worth of stock, has offered 43¢e,— he has a paid-up life policy, however, for $20,000. These men are all selling goods for lees than mine cost me. [have always paid one hundred cents on the dollar. Will you teil me how I can hold my own when the wholesale men are helping opposition houses to crush me out?’ I couldn’t tell him. He was bound to lose money whether he did business or not. Failure was only qnestion of time, and it came. [He has since stepped out, stripped of every dellar, for he was an honest one. Hy charyes his downfall to wholesale men, wh» actnally encouraged compromising by the facilities which they hold out to his rivels % busi- ness thereby demoralizing trace. I knowa retailer, who, in Lusiness career of about 25 years, has compromised six or seven times, and at Jast, when unable to meet his bills, the stock was sold ex bloc atanction, and bowght in by his wile. This enterprising merchant is now in a better financial position than he ever was in his life before. But he has been selling goods at such a reduction as to demoralize the whole trade, of what ts one of our best towns, and the result is that other and more honorable men in the same line of business, find the profits of years are me!t- ing away, and some of them will either fail, or be compelled to retire These are some of the evils which afflict trade, and young men first entering upon their business career, would do well to pon- der over the question, whether it is well to risk a whole lifetime of work and worry for such barren results as are to be their reward in mercantile life. The multiplica- tion of wholesale and jobbing houses, and the frantic efforts to dispose of goods at all hazards, has much to do with the trouble. No doubt there are other canses, but if the wholesale trade would refuse to encourage persons with small capital and less expe- rience, the retail trade would be in a healthier condition. It will afford some food for reflection to & young man just about making a choice of business, to think how few merchants in any line are to be met with, who are now, in their old age, living in retirement upon a competency earned in their several lines. In this western town where I am now living, which to-day is making more repid progress than any other this part of Ontario, where more money is invested in manufacturing than any other town in my knowledge, there is not to-day one single retired merchant or miller. One after another they have all gone down, and many of them have at times ranked high financially. On the contrary, of retired farmers living amongst us, we can count more than a dezen. The facility with which joint stock en- terprises have heen estabiishicd in Ontario, has been a fruitful cause of treable to manufactures, and it dues seem ‘‘passing strange” that capitalists and banks can be induced to hazard their money in enter- prises far beyond the wants of the country, aud which a little jodicious forethought would have shown ceuld not find a market for their goods at remunerative prices, I = Horsfora’s Acid Phosphate ONE OF THE BEST TONICS.
