Reports of a Plot in KINGSTON, June 23.-â€"About a week ago information reached Warden Lavell that a number‘of convicts had arranged a. con- spiracy to revolt and attempt an outbreak on Saturday, June ‘22. The information came from one of the convicts, consequent- ‘ 1y he had some doubts regarding its truth, ‘but as he heard it again from a. more re- liable source on Wednesday last he deter- mined to act at once. Mr. Moylan, Inspector of Penitentiaries, happened to be paying an official visit, therefore the matter was laid before him, and he and the warden and deputy talked it over on \Vednesday afternoon. It was proposed for the warden to enter the dining, hall at noon and addressed the convicts, telling them a M. C. A., Room; opposite new post oflice. Open daily from 9.00 A. M. to 10.00 P. M.

Then the bells rang and a few. minutes later over 500 astonished convicts . passed them. Never before were prison- 1 ers so much' amazed. The effect morally on the criminals must be good, as proving to them that the authorities are prepared for any emergency. Major Wilson says he can place 100 soldiers in the prison at any time in twenty minutes, so that no matter how thoroughly a plot is arranged it cannot be carried out successfully. 1 1â€" - A.\..-.:n0-u 15 UqulUU uu vua...v“ v..- R. It has been ascertained that the convicts got wind of the warden knowing about the matter. as one of them during the day called attention to the deputy removing the timber sticks, and remarked : “ He needn’t be afraid now; it’s all up.” Another convict charged a comrade with neaching. so there is no doubt a revolt was peaching, arranged. THE REGULAR FORCES AMPLE. Warden Lavell thinks the regular force at the prison is enough to quell a. revolt, ‘ but not without bloodshed, and as the main object in this case was to avoid blood- shed and arrest the ringleaders the soldiers were called out. It was proposed to keep them in hiding until the revolt began, when they were to appear and demand the surrender of the ringleaders.

Sir John Thompson left for Ottawa last night much relieved, and at the same time highly pleased with the facilities in Kings- ton for the safe keeping of criminals. He thanked Major Wilson, Capt. Rivers and the soldiers for their assistance, and ex- ‘ )ressed himself as gratified at the mannerp l 1 in which they performed their duty.

It 13 said that the ringleader was V1aux, who was the ringleadero 1n the St. Vincent de Paul revolt, and who was afterwards transferred to this penitentiary. He 1s a dangerous man. It is reported that Warden Lavell hit upon the right individual early in the week, and had positive assurance that an eweute was contemplated for yesterday morning. The revolt had been concocted in the carpenters’ shop, where 60 men are employed, and there the struggle was to commence. The project was to overpower the guards, take their rifles from them; l and then make a break for the St. Law- ‘ rence. It was anticipated that it would be an easy matter to secure boats and quickly escape into American territory. Warden Lavell, with a promptitude and secrecy that does him credit, applied to toe authorities _for a detachment of the LL A ‘1‘“: vvv w â€"__'_* battevxiy to be allowed to enter tentiary, and according 5O placed at his disposal. n Angleshshes, good for cough, cold. and SOLDIERS WERE CALLED THE FACTS MADE KNOWN, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. “ That Frenchman” the peni- men were say, delivered a lecture in the Methodist Church here last Tuesday evening (18th), his subject being “ Elbow Room.” There was a fair audience, but should the Dr. favor us on another occasion he will Speak to a crowded house.

But they are at a loss to know what the Woodville people have done to the lVardcr that a whole column of that paper should be given week after week to abusing and belittling the whole village. They are beginning to think that the Editor of the 1V arder is not the same “ straightforward manly” ‘ fellow he so often blows about being but that he is not above being under the thumb of his correspondent in more ways than one at the cost of doing his dirty work. Some say that it is his French blood that breaks out now and then, and that he can’t help it either.

A tramp tinker, named James Riley, crawled upon a haystack that stood on the river flat at Cullicom in the upper Delaware Valley. He was intoxicated. He awoke from his drunken stupor to find himself floating on the haystaek down the river in a roaring -- A’A‘An]? :15 +1.9 UIU lmJDmn cu“.-- -._- ,, flood. This was about four o’clock in the afternoon. The haystack was knocked to pieces against a bridge six miles down the stream. Riley was thrown into the mass of wreckage with which the river was filled. He clung to an outhouse, which was wreck- ed in Cochecton Falls, a mile below the ‘bridge. Riley was borne along the crash- ing logs and piles of other drift for seven miles, and at Narrowsburg was carried up It , L _._A_A against one of half a dozen rafts that were moored in Big Eddy at that place. Before he could reach shore the rafts were broken from their moorings by the flood and swept on down the river. They were all wreck- ed in the narrow rapids two miles below, and Riley found himself at the mercy of the flood, clinging to the ragged fragments ‘ of the raft he was on. 011 this he rode thirty miles when it was reduced to two timbers in the wild waters of Butler’s Falls, above Port Jervis, N. Y. It was then dark. Clinging to the lashings of the two timbers Riley entered upon the wildest night ride that any man ever en- . countered. At daylighthe passed through ONE PBIOE SHOE HOUSE.

The passage of the most dangerous place on the river, Foul Rift, near Belvidere, which only the most ex- perienced pilots will attempt to run a raft through, was made by Riley’s float. The rift is three miles long, and rafts have been known to clear it in eight minutes. In passing through this rift Riley was submerged nearly the entire distance. An hour and a. half later his timbers were thrown upon a pile of drift against the Easton bridge, and he was rescued. He was nearly nude, and was terribly torn and lacerated. The distance between Cullicum and Easton is 130 miles, and Riley’s’wild ride occupied but fourteen L---“ 3 hours. WOODVILLE. _â€"AT__. A Terrible Ride. EXCURSION.â€"' :5: RV“
