 CONNECTS BREAK FOR LIBERTY. Gang of Prisoners Seize The Guards
 And Endeavor To Scale The WalIs-
 Some Straight Shooting by tn e Qua rds
 MONTREAL, April 25.-While a gang of about 40 convicts at St. Vincent de Paul provincial prison were stone cutting under the charge of two guards yesterday at p. m. Louis Vean, a recently com mitted prisoner with exceedingly bad record, sprang upon one of the guards and attempted to throw him. This seemed to be prearranged signal for the balance of the gang who rushed to Vean's assistance. The two guards were quickly overpowsred, gagged, bound hand and foot and tied to the floor of the shed. The convicts pretended to be busily at work while leaders watched for the possible appearance of other guards. By this scheme four more guards were captured. Taking the revolvers of the six guards the convicts improvised ladder and throwing open the door made dash for the outside wall of the prison. The ladder proved too short and the convicts were at once fired up oh by the guards from the outer wall, but without effort. Baffied in their attempt to scale the wall the convicts crossed the prison yard to the wood fence. By this time the entire prison was in an uproar and all the working convicts te the number of two hundred and seventy-tive joined in the rebellion. Their guards tried to club them to their quarters and all the time the guard on the outer wall kept up fire. Warden La Violette seemed to first become aware of the rebellion when the dash to the wood fence was made and he rushed out of his office, which is in the cen ter of the yard, faced the convicts and was promptly seized and placed between the con victs and the fire of the guard. He wounded several times, but his position was discovered. The rioters tried to batter down the fence with their stone hammers and iron bars, but were met with volley from the deputy warden, Crumet, and posse on the outside. The villagers now be- gan to arrive on the scene in great numbers armed with fowling pieces and real izing the hopelessness of their efforts the ri oters capitulated and were locked up. So far as known none escaped. Carriyeau, one of the leaders, was shot dead through the heart. ConVlct Mondoy was shot tnrough the ari. and Convict Holden through both cheeks and nose. Beauparlant, guard, had his skull broken with hammer. Ferdinand Chart rand, a guard, received bullet through the leg and Leander Masserette, a guard, was shot in the neck, abdomen and wrist and will probably die. Vean, the leader, has been desperado for fifteen years and has served term for attempting to shoot A. F. Gault of Gault Bros, who found him bur glarizing in broad daylight while his family were at the seashore. There seems to be something wrong in the management of the prison, as outbreaks are of frequent occur renee.
 The total number of persons injured dur ing the revolt was sixteen. It is feared that five of the wounded cannot recover. St. Vim cent de Paul is the State prison of Quebec. It is place where all leng-termers are sent, and it's inmates number about $50 desperate characters.
