HE DIDN'T LEAVE THE JAIL.

Train Robber SOntag Had a Little scheme
Which Wouldn't Work.
VIsALrA. CAL, Aug. 14.-George Sontag,
who is confined in Jail here on the charge
of being connected with the recent train
robbery near Fresno, made a bold effort to
escape last night. Frank Williams, await
ing trial on the charge of burglary, was in
the plot, and was to step into sontag's cell
instead of his own when all was ready. A
large hole had been cut in the top of the
cell some time during the day and it was
undoubtedly the intention of the men to
enter tho corridor through the cell and then
dig out through the wall. The jailor had
his suspicious aroused and went to Sontao's
cell i'll time to prevent the escape. The
train robber was taken out and fitted with
an Oregon boot and a ball and chain. In
the cell was found q case knife made into
a saw, and also a pocket knife that had
been used for cutting rivets.

QuEDEc. Aug. A.-The shortening of the
transatlantic passage to . three days voy-
age 10 the inducement now held out to the
Canadian government by the promoters of
the New Labrador railway scheme. The
proposal involves the establishment of an
ocean steamship port at Port Manaham.
which 10 situated on Lewis inlet. about
sixty miles north Of the straits of Belle isle.
It is claimed that the short crossing be-
tween Port Manaham and Milford haven,
in Wales, could be easily made in seventy
two hours by the ocean greyhounds now
running between New York and Liverpool.
The authors OF the scheme say that during
the season OF navigation almost all mails
between Europe and America, as we'll as
the bulk of the passenger trade, would fol-
low the shortest existing route. Public
interest in the scheme ia awakened in Cam
ada by the publication Of the report of the
survey for q line of railway from Quebec to
Labrador. The westward connections Of
the projected line would be more easily
controlled by the Northern Pacific people
than by anybody else.
