Canala's Quarantine system at Fault

CanaIa's Quarantine system at Fault.
MONTREAL. Sept. lot begins to
look as if the Crosse isle system is d
farce if not worse. Passengers who
have been quarantined and afterward
released tell strange stories of the way
things are conducted and the manner
in which they were treated
But this is not the worst. Vessels
from foreign ports can sail or steam
past the quarantine or stop, as they
see FIT. An example of this was seen
yesterday when a steamer arrived here
in the afternoon, not having been
stopped between the mouth OF the
gulf and Montreal, a distance of over
seven hundred and fifty miles. When
the captain was asked for his bill of
health on arrival here he was astonished
to learn it was needed.

THE GAS TURNED ON,
A Prominent Mans Death in a
Jersey Hotel.

n frOmin0nC MANS Death IN q
Jersey Hotel
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 23.-H. j.
Nilsson, of San Francisco, guest of the
Manhattan house, was found dead in his
room this morning by the proprietor of
the hotel and a colored porter. The
latter had been sent to Nilson's room to
awaken him for breakfast, and, getting
no response, attempted to open the door,
but found it locked. He then opened
the tranSom and was partly overcome by
the rush of gas from the room. With
the proprietor he broke in the door and
found Nilson's body lying across
the bed cold in death with
the gas jet turned on full
blast. A couple OF physicians were
called, but could do nothing for him, as
he had evidently been dead for some
hours, having turned Oh the gas and
died from asphyXiation. A letter found
among his effects asked that j. P. El-
bridge, of Westchester, Pa, be notified
should anything happen to him. The
person referred to was notified, but has
not yet responded. Nilsson was about
forty years old, and from his appearance
a man of means and prominence. 1t IS
said he had no family connections, and
travelled about for pleasure, having
plenty of money. He spoke of John
Wanamaker, the postmaster general.
and other prominent men, and claimed
close friendship with them. A post

be held on the arrival of Eldrldge.

Broom Shop,
But Is Finally Discovered and
Knocked Down by One Of
the Keepers.
The Blood Flows Freely, but
He Is Thrust Into the
Dungeon.

AUBURN. N. Y, Oct. 23.-It was a
very brief period of liberty which Oil
yer Curtis Perry enjoyed last night after
his escape from his cell. He was cap
tured inside the prison walls at o'clock
this morning, and the only result of his
desperate attempt to escape was to
make his condition more miserable.
After his escaping from the wing in
which his cell was located. Perry boldly
crossed the prison yard and hid in the
basement OF the broom shop, in which
Convict johnson was murdered by a
fellow prisoner a few weeks ago. When
the night had sufficiently advanced
for the darkness to shield his move
ments, Perry tried to gain access to the
broom shop. 1t was closely guard led,
however, and he next proceeded to the
marble shop. Here again he was frus-
trated i'll his attempt to gain admittauce,
as the guards were on the alert. and his
efforts attracted their attention. Perry
started to. run as soon as he found his
presence had been discovered. He went
directly to the cellar shop, where a
large number of knives are kept, the
fugitive's one idea seeming to be to Sc
cure weapon of some kind. As he
neared the cellar shop he was seen by
Keeper Tunls, who stood in the shadow
of the building. When within ten feet
of the guard Perry was challenged and
ordered to halt. He did not obey, and
the guard
Fired a Shot
from his rifle over the convict's head.
This had no effect upon Perry other
than to change the course in which he
was running. and to increase his speed.
His change of direction was fatal, how
EYER. as it caused him to pass within
waiting to challenge the fleeing man,
struck him over the head with his
heavy night stick. So powerful was
the blow that the cane was broken, and
Perry was stretched unconscious at the
keepers feet, the blood flowing freely
from deep wound. Perry was at once
taken to the dungeon, where he
will be confined for some time to come
without even the comfort of board to
rest upon. 1t is said that after his capt
,ure Perry told Warden Durston that 1t
was not liberty he sought, but an oppor-
tunity TO stick knife into him. He has
conceived deep hatred Tor the warden
during his long confinement in the
screen cell. The instrument which
Perry used to dig through the walls of
bis cell was the iron ledge of his bed
stead, which he managed to loosen
from its fastenings. After the
willy little desperate had been
safely locked up the extra guards were
changed. Warden Durston warned the
men in charge of the prisoners cells
and guards not to discuss the matter OF
Perry's escape and capture in public.
Despite these precautions, however, the
particulars have transpired. A rumor
is in circulation that Perry was very
seriously hurt by Keeper Smiths blow,
and that death may result. The rumor,
of course, cannot be confirmed.
