Chalabran has been caught. Joseph Chalabran, alias Chartrand, the Sault Ste, Marie m , who from the insane ward of the penitenti on Monday, 7th, was cap- tured at Yonge Mills Bridge, twen- ty-three Hilton the other side of Gan- by Wilbert 1. Mallory, county ele of Mallorytown, about five o'clock on Monday afternoon. Scarce a Seth from he aftual_ time ol his es- cape from prison the murderer was returned to the hands of justice. The story of capture is as simple as the catching of a runaway child from the home backyard. The -terrible, vicious, 'wild murderer, pic- tured in the minds of all the com- munity, was a lion tamed to lamb- like tendencies when browy.. to y His capturer, Mr. Mallory, is a slight shrewd keen eve, in short a typical country constable. He has had twenty- five years experience and is no ama- teur at his work, though little may in. the stirring little place where he makes his home. Mallory- town is on the G.T.R., twenty miles from Gananoque and double that dis- tance from Kingston. -- 'He Locked Like Convict. Monday afternoon, a strange fel- low, anawering well the description of the esca convict, entered the d . and Mrs, Davis, three miles below Mallorytown. He asked " was given something to eat. His strange' demeanor and other striking features drew the farmer's at- tention to this man; he sent word immediately to the constable in Mal- lorytown, In the meantime, while awaiting his arrival, the stranger prisoner t to Bus She was no so tra and before the éonstable could reach the scene the bird had flown. On down the road the "trail" was fol- Iowed for two or three miles. to some distance beyond Yonge Mills bridge, where the man, answering the descrip- tion of the one who visited Mr. Davis was seen talking to Benjamin Ey Quickly Mr. Mallory jumped from his in which he fad driven fron] guess you are the > by the He pleaded utter ignorance and made no attempt escape. Acting quickly upon a thought Mr, Mallory lifted the trouser leg of the man and immedia- tely recognized the birth mark on the of which he had read in the newspaper descriptions. Still the prisoner remained calm. He allowed the hand cuffs to be put on his wrists, Ho was driven back to Mallorytown; word was sent to Detective Foster, of the Dominion police, who was in the district following scents and clues. Messrs. Mallory and Foster left Mal- lorytown on the midnight train, ar- rived at the outer station about 1.30 prison authorities and driven to Portsmouth. Chalabran was such a welcome guest, that he had his hosts in a very tickled, happy mood. Ward- en Platt did an hour's entertaining, questioning as to the mode of the prisoner's escape. ) hrmnmnne Story Of The Escape. A tale of carefully faid plans by an ingenious cunning brain, bringing into play knowledge gained by his past life as sailor and trapper, was un- folded to the wondering prison offici- als. L months of confinement had but given him the opportunity to per- fect means and wave for his escape. All connection bearing 'on outside or inside help to aid him in his purpose is emphatically denied. The bird had flown eight hours be- fore his escape wap known to the peni- tentiary authorities. Chalabran es- at ten o'clock on the night of May 7th, according to his story,which would be just half an hour after Guard Fegg had rung up his clock, Previous to his escape a prisoner, on being liberated, had given him a small stoel' file--sufficiently small to be kept in the palm of one's hand; this did the deed. Noiselessly, slowly, but surely, the bars of the cell were filed in the 'dead of the night, between the rounds of the guard. The bars replac- ed and stuffed with dirt and grease, Er ------ A SAVINGS ACCOUNT A person who has a savings account is in a measure a pub- lic benefactor, because in his modest way, he does his share to increase the amount of money per capita in active cir- culation.

The dawn was breaking and he sought shelter in a néighboring woods, having enough with him' from his prison rations to keep him from starving through the day. He wandered eastward and on Thursday, in the still watches of the night, knocked on the door of a house near Rockport, amd receiving no re- ply, broke in, Here he became the pos- sessor of a fur-lined coat; a coat and vest, a flask of whiskey, some" jewel- lery and eatables. The house proved to be the ome where lived Captain John Carnegie, a. jolly tar. This was his only theft. The remainder of the time, while he was at large, he begged his meals at farm houses. Many farmers claim they were visited by Chalabran, but were afraid to at- tempt an arrest, fearing him to be so ferocious, that he would murder them and the rest of their families, Tepri- ble reports of the escaped convict had circulated through the district. During the seven days he was at large' the murderer kept in the district between Gananoque and Brockville, but denies having been in the Island City, and hiring as a painter as was reported. During the week of roaming he wore the coat and vest he had stol- en, discarding his prison shirt and coat, because of the attached number but he kept the penitentiary trousers, for as he says, 'lots of Frenchmen wear those kind of plaid pants." To his capturer, he admitted he would have killed him or Mr. Eyres, with whom he was talking on the bridge, had he had any fire arms. The that he would have been so easily ap- prehended and did not wish to give himself away by boltine. ksowing three could surely overtake one. The wonder expressed is that he did not attempt - any way the life of his eapturer, who in point of size was muck Kis inferior. ; t I was by no means afraid," said Mr. Mallory, to a Whig reporter this morning. "There were the other men, there, and I felt sure we had him; be- sides I have handled some hard nuts before in my life." Mr, Mallory only smiled in ga pleased manner when a bouquet was given him for his splen- did capture, Mr." Mallory returned to his home on the early morning train. What The Detective Says. Detective E. Foster of the Dominion police fopce, Ottawa, who with - the assistance of Detective Cockburn has been working on the case had a very genial manner, and an ample supply of grey matter stocked up in a well shaped head. He was smoking a good Havana, and having his morning stroll after a few hours' sleep at the Randolph Hotel, whén joined by the Whig reporter to whom he told a story interesting in all its details of the week spent in rounding up the escap- ed murderer, "Had Mr, Malory not arrived on the scene when he did, -there is every reason to believe the convict's liberty would not have been continued more than another hour. We had him com- pletely hemmea in." It has been a strenuous week for the searchers, but the trail was so hot the quest was continued with fer- vent zeal. The first clue was through Manly Cross informing Chief Ryan of Gananoque, that one answering the prisoner's description had taken din® ner with him, Tuesday, 8th, This was the real foundation on 'which the de- tective worked. The Brockville story was soon proved of little value. "The Wolfe Island storv, however," declared the detective, '"'was the one which fooled us. We lost much time in in- vestigating only to find out it was quite without foundation. It would seem to have heén a deliberate lie, was deliberate, the it should get two and if the story man reporting years." . . The search was principally in the Gananoque-Brockville hill district. The breaking into the Carnegie house, Thursday night, was discovered, then the trail was lost until Saturday. The prisoner in telling his story patches up this missing link of two days. He stole a counterpane from the house and discovering, a. recess in the hills made a little tent, wherein he remain- the two days. His reason for choosing the. Carnegie house for his plundering was clever, He was in the vicinity that €vening; saw all the other houses light up but this; when he could get no answers to his knocks he broke in to find the house deserted. He told the detective he had never be fore been in such a grand house; he thought a millionaire lived in it and it would be no harm to steal from there. At -the time of the robbery Capt. Carnegie was in Kingston and his wife away visiting. Saturday and Sunday the searchers began to wind closer and closer their tangle about their man. From many farmers came the report that he had been to their homes for something to eat. Detective Foster gives great praise to the farmers of the district and. especially to Robert Carnegie, brother of the one whose home was burglariwd, for the energetic and dili- 1G, TUESDAY, i » 5 hment of mer Was drive him, if possible, the valley.

The word that the much-want- had been at. the farm house ived almost simultaneously the constable and the detective. Mallory's arrival was the earlier and to him goes the glory of the actual hand cuting, i When he had told his story" the prisoner said E : : have: Sue i533 Ti i g t Through the winter months, he told, he had gotten much benefit from the reading of the scriptures; he felt God had aided him in making his escape. He had a pe culiar idea to which he attributed his capture. Saturday night he says he got his foot wet crossing a stream and an oath crossed his lips, for this he feels he was returned to his im- prisonment, "l mever again expect to see the clear light of a free day," he told the prison authorities this morning. "Haven't you always been treated as well as you could expect 7' asked Warden Platt and the returned prison- er admitted he bad no reason for any complaint. "You will receive the same treat- ment in the future; your escape will not be held against you," further de- clared the ki ly head guardian of the big penal institution. \ S-- Back In His Cell. § At the Penitentiary, Chalabran is again back in his cell. He was not put in the dungeon, as he is not re- garded as the xefractory type of con- vict. The autBorities simply look up- on him as ome whose mind is unbal- anced, though oftentimes one of that nature displays = preat keenness and ability when he {determines to ao a certain thing. As Chalabran is a life prisoner, there is' .no need of having him charged at * 'the court of general sessions with escaping from prison. He is in the position of an inmate of Rockwood, who might escape, and is simply returned to safe-keepin~, Chal- abran stated af the penitentiary that it took him six weeks to cut through the bars. " ------ An Episode, At Napanee. A fiurry of "extitement went about yesterday morning when a panting and foam-spattered horse, with an ex- cited rider, raced into town with the news that Chalabran, the escaped convict, from the Kingston peniten tiary, was in. the neighborhood = of Switzerville. A hurried posse was procured and all the necessaries for a struggle were: taken 'along, but when Chief Graham got his eagle eye upon the suspect he 'ssid, "That's not the man," and sure enough it proved to be a demented man from near Selby. They brought "the man back with them but he is 80 crazy that he does i8 'own name, And he will not know 'his be taken care of until his relatives can be found. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

"The Colleen Bawn," that beautiful Irish drama 'of the olden time, as presented by local talent in the Grand Opera House, Monday evening, was highly appreciated by a large audi- ence. After a winter's care and study on the play, the capable efforts of the young men and women - enacting the several roles, culminated in a great success and unlimited praise is given those who so successfully car- ried the performance to a conclusion. The proceeds will go to I'Hotel Dieu hospital. The drama is almost too well known for comment, 'but is one of the 'type abounding in moments of intense appealing 'interest, scenes of quick action and time. for good play, and 'those taking part, lived up to the scenes in a very capable manner, giving quite a finished touch to 'the production. The audience was warm-hearted and the amateur actresses and actors shared that feeling in bursts of loyal applause. There was evidently much ability pointing towards a «career be- foro the foothights in the "Hardress Cregan" of Carew Roche. splendid young lover and in defence of the girl whom he had married, though "beneath him," gave a good piece of acting. Miss "The Colleen Bawn," was well receiv ed for her pretty.acting; her two solos were very sweetly sung. T. J. O'Connor put a clever character touch to his "Squire Corrigan," and in the final act, in his 'accusations of mur- der against the hero, was indeed ga lawyer of the first type. Miss Lizzie nea was a pretty "Anne Chute," and Miss Mildred Blakely a stately Mrs, Creegan. John Inglis had pick- ed up a "right from the old sod," ac- cent and as Myles Nacoppaleen had audience laughing the hest part of his appearance on the stage. E. W. Myl- in was good as "Danny Mann." Jos- eph Jaguith, as "Sheelah" proved himself of the first order as a female impersonator. The. other princin included : Leo Ryan, as "Kyl: Daly Frank Grimshaw, as "Father Tor George Cooper, as "Bertie O'Moore; H. Ryan, as "Hyland Creagh; F. Mullin, as "Servant;" James Scott, as "Corporal;"" Miss Lillian Hackett, as "Kathleen Creagh," and Miss Nellie Walsh, as "Ducie." The three acts were typical of +h: i Stencry and home life of the Emeral.l Island and the staging was most ef- fective. The costumes, too, quite in keeping with the time action of the play. For the first-class performance much praise is due the committee of man- agement: F. Grimshaw, George Coop- er, E. W. Mullin and T. J. 0'Connor. He was a were and THE CHILDRENS' STORIES . Everybody is Invited Them Read. the plans devised by the ! Historical Society for the awakening of ' interest in Kingston was a story competition called "Grandmothers" Tales." The children to Hear Among Frontenac could get anyone to tell them the i facts, but they were to write the stories themselves. The competition { Was a great success; there were fifteen capital stories sent in, and a number of others with interesting incidents that were not quite up to the stan- dard of excellence. The best story is about Alwington and gives an inter- esting account of the many important events which have taken place there. There is a well told story of Charles Dickens' Aisit to Kingston, and a very realistic description of pioneer life when the Poet Moore was here in 1803, and | little boat, Simcoe, which performed an heroic deed in Kingston harbor, and the hanging of nine men at Fort Henry. These are some of the stories which the committee have selected to be read Friday night. It is anticipated that these old stories may set the elderly people® to recalling incidents they have heard, and another batch of stories from children. We hope there will be a good audience Friday right, and an that an interest will be created in the traditions "and stories of Kingston. The grandmothers -and grandfathers, as well as the children, are invited. the CLARENCE STREET PLOT. | Being Put Into Condition For Use of the Public.

Her's is a character full of contradictions, at times a per- fect shrew and then a woman most lovable, now haughty as the princess and sister of a king should be, and then, finding her heart lost to a man beneath her station, though noble in character, giving it to him in all its fullness and fighting for him with all the power of her passionate nature.
