oUa CRIMINAL COLONY * CANADA.

Themselves in ;'Ecir City OF RcGIS-.

a Montreal correspondent Of the New
York Mail and Express writes: ''John &.
Emo heads the list of criminals in Cana
da. He is living at Quebec. The house
he rents is large, and the situation de-
lishtful. 1t is two and half miles from
the postoffice. The rent he pays-near-
ly s., 900 years., for Quebec, enorm-
Gus. This means, proportionately, about
Sc, 900 to $4,000 per year il New York.
Rents are sel- low in the Gold Rock
City, and the Emo house CT Beauvoir IS
one of the finest in the suburbs. Finan-
cially, he appears to be at ease. BE
drives good horses and is liberal with his
money, but socially he is not known.
Neither he nor his wife is ever invited
out, nor are they visited by society peo-
pie. Emo has never been asked to the
Garrison mess, and does not belong to
the only social organization in Quebec
of any pretensions-the Garrison Club.
The old French families do not ask him
to their houses. His acquaintance are
principally made at barrooms. Some
few society men have nodding acGuaint-
ance with him. Society is exclusive,
and the old noblesse. have long memo
ries. When Emo gives dinner parties"
they are only attended by his legal ad-
visers, or spectators who may wish to
see him. The Commercial Club he be-
longs to is small place where men Of
business meet. 1t has no social signifi-
cance and does not pretend to any.
Many respectable merchants belong to
it. These men meet Emo in a business
way. They do not ask him to their
homes. Some of them may drink with
him at the st. Louis Hotel when they
meet him there; that is all. He visits
the houses of two or three personal
friends, but the stories about his being
received into society are exaggerations.
He attends cooking mains and billiard
tournaments, and he is constant visitor
to St. Roch. Thisis the roughest sub
urb in the city.
''The New York Aldermen and their
friends attract much attention. They
are Billy Moloney, Charley Dempsey,
Keenan, and De Lacy. They all have
rooms on the same floor Of the Windsor
Hotel, with the exception of Billy No
lonev, who is in a small house near the
hotel De Lacy and Keenan, are great
chums, and are rarely out of each others
sight. Moloney and Dempsey, how
ever, seem to be engage: in picket duty
and throwing inquisitive people off the
scent. They all live like lords, getting
the best Of everything and scattering
their money about like water.
''New York has not monopoly OF the
criminals here; Chicago makes a very
good running for second place. Morris,
the church deacon, and trusted adviser
of widows and orphans, heads the list.
Morris had thousands Of dollars intrust-
ed to his care. The people whose money
he had We're chiefly poor, struggling men
and women, who had saved the gather
ings intt7sted to hin. after years of self
sacrifice and privation. The victims of
this man thought they were saving up
for the rainy day Many Of his dnpes
we're laboring men, charwomen and
orphans to whom small sums Of money
had been left. He encouraged the peo-
pie to deposit their money in his keep
ing. When he got what he considered
sufficient for his wants he left. Henlade
paupers of hundreds of poor people in
Chicago. He does not appear to mind
that, He is running prosperous busi-
ness here. Tie writer saw him IN a
buggy yesterday. He sat behind fast
troting black. The flush of health was
present on his countenance. There was
no cowardly conscience in that mans
face. But the detectives say that Morris
is not at ease, for all his assumption OF
indifference. They haze noticed that he
always employs the one driver to take
him to and from his place Of business.
They think he is afraid Of being kid
mapped.
