VACRANT VERSES.
A Fell Destroyer.

"A rCh DOopi ioSShs
Come come. little pet, do not heed the roar
or the winds that bluster outside the door;
For snug indoors you are, safe from harm,
With nothing to fret you or alarm.
But listen; should you at night 70 out
When the spirits or the goblins are all about,
Tnxe caro- to run hons just as fast as you can
For fear you'll be caught by the bicycle man.
As silent as death s the thick dark night.
When the sudden flash OF binding liRht
And JanEle like thous ands Of churc hysrd bella
o. the bicycle mans approaching tells.
You arc torn from the earth BY his awful force,
And pounded and tossed till perhaps oorse,
You are left for your plying irienda to soan
As . warning to run from the bicycle man.

Sensation follows sensation in the inves-
LEGATIONS in the cases of official corruption
now in progress at Ottawa. Last Friday
the senate committee on the Bale DIES Cha
leur railway unearthed facts that 90 far to
inculpate even Premier MERCER of the Pro
vince of Quebec and which, il is believed.
cannot but lead to the lieutenant governor
calling on him for an explanation, failing
which dismissal from office must follow.
From the evidence given before the COM
mittee ii would appear that the utmost cor
ruption exists not only in the federal but in
the Quebec provincial government 1t was
shown that Ernest Pacaud, editor of l. Elec-
teur, Quebec, and an acknowledged inter
mediary of the Quebec government, re-
ceived 100000 from A. n. Armstrong. a
railroad contractor, for his services in in
fiuencing the government to settle an alleged
claim of the SIZE, 600 held by Armstrong
for work done on the Bale DIES Chaleur
railroad. 1t was also shown that of the
checks given by the Quebec government to
Armstrong in settlement of his claim and
held by the Union bank of Quebec, $780,
600 was placed to the private account
of Pacaud, and that out of this money
placed to Pacauds credit sums aggregating
about So, 900 were taken to pay private
notes on which were the names of Premier

shop were entered the same night, but no
clues to the burglars were found. A year
from that time the house of the same town
agent, a deaf old man, was again entered
and an attempt was made to again chloro-
form him, but he cried out and so fright
ened the burglar that he fed, leaving be-
hind him a chise on which were the mi
tials of one of Abbott's uncles BY this
clue the burglaries were traced to young
Abbott, then only rs or II years old.
When arrested he was on the train at West
Lebanon on his way to his fathers in
Lynn, Mass. He had with him nd-bag
containing a lot of silver watches, two re-
volvers, a dirk knife, and bottle each
of chlorOform, strychnine and arsenic, while
on his person he had revolver and dirk
knife. 1t was for these burgaries that Alb
bolt was sent to the Concord prison for
four years. At the same time a confeder-
ate, French boy named Duplisse, was sent
up for five years. When Abbott's term was
over he came back to Thetford, and soon
after began the series of burglaries which
ended in his capture in the cave on Thet-
fort hill, after his body had been filled with
buck shot.
In many respects Mr.. Prescott's story of
Almy is the most interesting and important
which has yet been told. In several re-
spects it conflicts with the accounts of
Almy's career given in the daily papers and
summarized in our general news page to-
day, but there seems to be little doubt that
Mr.. Prescott version is the correct one.
