HER DOUBLE CRIME.
Mrs. Michel, the Canadian Murderess and
Flre-Bug, Caught.

OTTAWA, ONT, August s.-The De-
partment Of State on Monday forwarded
TO the British Minister at Washington a
warrant Of recipiaS asking for the sur
render OF Mrs. Leila Lamontagne
Michel, who is wanted at Sherbrook
for arson. Mrs. Michel is only twenty
one years old, but she has succeeded in
eluding the detectives for nearly two
years.
Her husband suspected her of being
unduly intimate with her brother, Remi
Lamontagne, and drove him from the
house. At o'clock on the morning Of
July IS, 1sss, Remi knocked at the
door Of MichePs house, and after giving
Michel some whisky, shot him three
times. Michel was unconscious for a
time, but recovered to find himself
beneath a burning mattress and his
house in flames. He managed to drag
himself TO the house Of friend, where
his wife found him some hours later.
In the meantime she had gone to the
home OF one of her relatives and re-
ported that her husband had been
smoking in bed and set fire to the
house. After saving two trunks, she
declared he had gone into The burning
building and had been lost. She was
fully dressed when she got TO the house
OF her relative, but her brother was not
with her The husband fingered until
August Ii, lSsS, when he died. He
made an ante-mortem statement accuS-
ing his wife and brother-n-law OF the
crime.
The woman was tried in October,
lSsS, for murder, and was acquitted,
the jury considering that her brother
was the instigator. Remi, after the
acQuittal Of his sister, appeared in Sher-
wood in company with a brother-in-law
named Guimont, who delivered him up
to the authorities to get the reward of
81, 600 offered by the Canadian Govern
ment. He has been in Jail since that
time, and is to be tried in October on a
charge OF murder and arson. Steps
were taken to arrest Mrs. Michel on a
charge of arson, but she had gone to
the United States. Detectives have
been following her sincs then. She
eluded capture until July 0 last, when
she was arrested at Newton Junction,
y. ii. She is fighting the eXtradition
proceedings in every way possible.

AN INTERESTING RELIC.
The Big Revolver Which Saved John
Henry Baisden's Life.


Major J. c. Anderson arrived in the
city Yesterday from the lower end Of the
State, and brought with him a most in
teresting relic Of the troublouS times
along the Big Sandy, In the shape Of a
--.aiu... 4I.a..i a foot lanp The canon
/ which - q very valuable one, has quito
Ia history: peculiar feature OF which
and one constituting a remarkable dif-
| ference between this particular revolver
and others OF its kind, being that in
stead OF taking a mans life, IL actually
saved one. Baisden, the owner Of the
gun, " figured in the big fight on the
Kentucky side Of the Big Sandy, some
months ago. in which the Brewers and
others were engaged. and In which two
OF the BalSdens were killed. John Henry
BaiSden escaped but was captured on the
West Virginia side Of the river and later
was cXtraditcd 10 Tazewell county. Va.
10 answer a charge Of murder. There q
movement was set on foot 10 lynch him,
and he was removed from one Jail 10 an
other for safe keeping. Bal sdcn finally
escaped and crossed into this State
again, and is now living somewhere
along the Big Sandy. He sold the re-
volyer 10 Major Anderson, and told the
story of how the weapon saved his life.
In the fight with the Brewers, Baisden
was shot once or twice, and while be
had the revolver mentioned in his left
breast pocket a ball from a Winchester
rifle struck il in the lock, wrecked the
cylinder and damaged the pistol in other
respects, but saved the life Of its owner,
who would have certainly been killed
had II not been for the revolver. He
priced the weapon very highly after
wards, but parted with It TO Maj. Alder
son. whom he knew well. Tho Major
had the weapon restored 10 usefulness,
and will preserve IL as an interesting
relic Of the Big Sandy fcuds.

THE GREAT NEW YORK CENTRAL RAIL
ROAD
Learns the Power Of Organized Lab0r-Ths Whole
Line Tied Up-Trains Len on ths
Traeks-ThOusand' Of Men
Are Idle.

New YORK, August s.-The rumbllng
of an expected storm among the thou
sands of employees OF the New York
Central and Vanderbilt lines, owing to
the discharge of Knights Of Labor and
Brotherhood men, broke like flash
from a clear sky shortly after seven
o'clock tonight. All the length OF
the Central was tied up. Trains were
left by the crews where they
stood when the order came. Two
passenger trains were left at
seth street in the tunnel, one going in
each direction. The latest report is
that the West Shore road is tied up
throughout its length, as well as the
New York and New Haven road. Great
throngs of people are waiting at every
depot, and asking all manner OF queS-
tionS. No one seems TO know how II
was. or who ordered the strike. Even
J. j. Holland, the labor leader. dinied
that he knew who ordered it, or even
that it was ordered.
UNDER POLICE PROTECTION.
The representatives OF the railroad
company called upon acting Superin-
tendent of Police Byrnes for protection.
The Inspectors at once held a consul
tation, and it was decided to hold in re-
serve police in all the precincts on the
East Side below Forty-Second street.
All the reserves on the East Side above
/ Forty-second street 10 Ionkers, and on
the West Side from ST. Johns Park to
YonkerS, were placed on duty guarding
the tracks and property Of the railroad
company. The depot at Forty-sec-
ond street was under the protection Of
the full force Of police from the
| Twenty-third Sub-diStrict and these
were assisted by the members Of the
| boat patrol. Inspector ByrneS' detec-
tectives guarded the switches and sig
nal stations along the road 10 YonkerS.
After these arrangements had been
made word reached police headquarters
that some Of the strikers intended TO
| take possession OF the switch house at
! Fifty-seventh street and Fourth avenue.
| Inspe ctor Byrnes at once detailed two
Of his trustworthy detectives to watch
that point. The Inspector himself de-
cided to remain at headquarters all
night.
TRAVELLERS DISAPPOINTED.
The Grand Union Hotel is crowded
with people who expected to leave the
city and had engaged passage for vari-
Gus points. At half past 5 o'clock 4
gentleman reached the hotel and an
nounced that the engineer and men en-
ployed in running an incoming train had
deserted their posts in the tunnel at
Eighty-Sixth street and left the train
standing there. He and the other pas
sengers had to get out and make their
way to Forty-second street on foot or by
! horse car.
