Explodes Dynamite Injuring i Seven Men. Quebec, May 1A terrible explos ion in a lumber shanty, in the upper part of Montmagny took place a few days ago. The shanty is situated be- tween the townships of Moose and Ar mand, and was occupied bv a party of men, who were breaking an ice jam in the river for which purpose thoy were emploving -dynamos. The dynamite cartridges were being dried on the stove in the shanty, in which there were at the time seven men, all of whom were about the stove. One man came along with a pot, which he, unthinkingly, placed on the stove with a sudden jar, and immediately there was a terrific explosion, which knocked down the men. all of whom whom were badly mutilated; five so horribly that they are in a critical condition. The names of the men are : Emile Robin, Ar{ Robin, Cleophas Colin. G. Morin, Simeon. Pickard, Jr. Emile Robin was the most terribly jured. of the party. His hand and forearms were mutilated and burned, and his eyes were also painfully burn- ed. His companions received grave injuries about the head and hands. The injured men 'were taken to the hospital of St. Thomas, Mont magny, where their - wounds - were dressed. Emile Robin's injuries, how ever, were so severe that amputation five unfortunate also of his injured Ms Was necessary, and he was vesterday brought to this city, in charge, of Dr. Richard and placed in the Hotel Dieu, where both his forearms were amputated.

To the Stranded Steamers at Buffalo--John Donnelly's Suc cess-- Vessel Movements in the Harbor. Buffaio Courier. After two months of hard work during which several almost insur- mountable obstacles were encounter ed, Capt. John Donnelly, the well known Canadian wrecking master, has at last succeeded in dredging a chan- nel to the stranded steamers Hurl bert W. Smith and the William Not- singham, ashore at the foot of Michi- gan street. Capt. Donnelly has had two sand- suckers 'on the job continually and had expected to use the wrecker Saginaw, which he recently purchased from the Great Lakes Towing com- pany. The Saginaw has powerful machinery, but just at the time when she was most needed, she filled with water, and sank at her dock. She was raised and is again in commis- sion, but will not be used in the work. , He encountered another obstruction in his wrecking operations yesterday. During the big gale of January the heavy seas swept away a large por- tion of the concrete foundation of the breakwall. This concrete washed ashore and is now packed solid in the path of the wrecked steamers. It is said it will have to be blasted or dug out before the boats can be re- leased. Capt. Donnelly is well pleased with th: progress made in the operations and it is the opinion of vesselmen that he has dane'extremely well unden the circumstances, He oxpects to have tugs at work on the boats within the next few days.
