The shipment includes many articles admirably adapted for complimentary presentation, The Boiler Explosion. A resident of New Glasgow, N. S,, writ- ing to a friend in this city, gives the follow- ing vivid description of the wreck caused by the recent boiler explosion at Stellar- ton ; ‘* About an hour after the accident I went up to see the wrecked engine. It was a sorry- looking sight. The boiler‘had been blown to atoms. It broke off around the throat sheet. The fire-box, with about six feet of the shell, was torn from the frame of the engine and blown some distance into the air, coming down on the station platform with the furnace door downwards. The inside of the fire-box ts all right; but the tubes were pulled from the tube sheet as nice and clean as if taken out by hand. I examined what remained of the boiler, and found some broken stays (evi- dently old breaks) and some old cracks in the throat sheet. I picked up a@ piece of the boiler about a foot square, some,gtwo hundred yards from the scene of the wreck, and a piece of one of the tubes about six yards away. The tender was forced {back on the track about 100 feet, the frame of the engine was badly twisted, and the main driving axle (8 inches in diameter) was so badly bent that the wheel would not turn. One of the steel girdle-bars four inches square, was bent up like a withe, and the connecting-vods on both sides were blown entirely oif. Both smokestack and | head-light were thrown about 100 feet along the track; and the station house was badly | damaged also. 1 really did not think, until 1 | had visited the scepe and saw for m vel, that: & Woiler “ee would cauwe sui Rg i! DAILY EXAMI tte le Police Matters. INTO THE CHARGE AGAINST MARSHAL FLYNN, DURING the progress of the Police ta: | spection last week, Officer Costello stated that he had seen City Marshal Flynn under the influence of liquor in and about the station on a certain night last Sumer, Yesterday afternoon the Stipendiary. Mag- ; istrate began an investigation intw the) charge in the presence of the Police Wom- mittee of the City Council, and some other members of the Board. Ofticer Thomas Costello was the first wit- ness. He re-aflirmed the statement made by him at the investigation last week to! the effect that the Marshal was in liquor at; the station ona certain night last Surmer. He said: I noticed when he first came in that he was in liquor.. He was talking with John Ellis. I think he was in a fit state to do duty. When he left the station he staggered a little, but if he had to do duty he could do it. J cannot say that I ever noticed liquor on the Marshal any other time. 1am not mistaken about the time; it was over two months ago. I do not think I reported the occurrence to any one on the street, but will not swear that I did not tell it to any temperance lodge. Officer Deunis Doyle was next examined. He said: I remember the night that Costello refers to, but do not mind much about it. I remember hearing the Marshal talking about soldiering, as I often did before. When the Marshal stood up to go Costello said, ‘* come here, Doyle.” I then went and looked after the Marshal. I noticed nothing unusual. [ would not swear he had a half-glass in him that night. The first time I thought anything ubout the Marshal drinking was when Costello called me. I had been listening to the conversation between the Marshal and Ellis, but noticed nothing therefrom. | saw no staggering. I never saw him in liquor since | came on the force, nor have I any reason to suspect him. I never saw him go into a place where liquor was sold, nor saw him make an effort to get in. I said nothing to Costello about the Marshal. Costello said to me on the street shortly afterwards, *‘ I think the little fellow had a good shot in.” I dont think I answered: I only laughed. I did not think he had any in. If Il {did I would say so. I did not notice liquor in him. I doe not remem- ber Ellis making any remarks about the Marshal being drunk. I recollect Costello asking me to go with him and watch the Marshal. I said I would not be bothered; he was going home. The Marshal often came to the station at 12 o'clock at night particularly in Summer time. Officer Charles Cameron testified : [ have been on the force for fifteen years. ] knew the Marshal at one time to be an intemper- ate man ; but have not noticed liquor in him for two years. I could soon tell liquor inghim from myknowledge of him. Idon’t think the Marshal could drink without my knowledge. He is about the station all day until eleven o'clock at night, and: some- times later. Special Officer John Harris said: Since I have been on the force Costello has often asked me about the Marshal drinking. I told him on several occasions that what I knew about the Marshal would do him (Costello) more harm than good. I never told Costello the Marshal was drinking. I have not seen the Marshal the worse of liquor all the time I was on the force. Within the last two years I have not noticed the Marshal in liquor at all. I never told Costello that the Marshal had sent me out of the court because I knew too much about him. I know nothing about the Marshal being put to bed in the _ Electric Light Station, nor did I tell Costello I knew anything about it. I said nothing to parties outsideaboutthe Marshal drinking. Officer Thomas Taylor said: ‘*‘I have been on the force seventeen months, and have never seen the Marshal the worse of liquor. I have no reason to suspect he has been drinking. I never heard it rumored about the station that he drank.” Officer Peter Bradley testified: I am 12 years on the force. 1 knew the Marshal when he was intemperate. For the past two years he has been temperate so far as ] know. I never had occasion to shadow him or to think otherwise. I do not think he could take any quantity without my knowing it. I would notice him in liquor quickly. I heard Costello remark about the Marshal’s being pretty well on one time, but never heard any otner member of the force say anything about it. After hearing this testimony the pro- ceedings were adjourned. This morning at eleven o'clock the Police Committee and several of those present last evening met in the Courtroom. The Magistrate said he did not deem it advisable to go on with the investigation owing to the absence of a witness—Jolin Ellis. He did not like the idea of putting the Marshal on the stand until the evidence was all in. Councillor A. A. McLean was of a similar opinion, The City Marshal here related the efforts made to secure Ellis’ attendance in Court. He said he was innocent of the charge pie- ferred against him and #as not afraid of any evidence which could be brought in. He was prepared to go on the stand either now or after all the evidence was in and swear to his innocence. He looked upon the charge as the outcome of personal spite and bigotry, the partiah results of a plot engineered by certain persons ontside the Council to do him injury. Councillor Byrne was of opinion that the Marshal should be examined at once. He (the Marshal) was prepared to go on the stand and swear to his innocence. Then why not let him do so? His discharge would follow a. matter of course. He deprecated the publicity given the pro- ceedings at the previous investigation, as yesult of which, he said, the Marshal had suffered irreparable injury. He reyretted that the Police Committee had not been invited to attend, that inspection ; had they been so much publicity would not have been given what took place. He thought that as a result of the investigatidn the Marshal would be honorably discharged. After some further discussion the pro- ceedings were adjourned for the evidence of Ellis.
