DeplorabIe Condition of Fishermen and
Indians in the North Of Canada.
MONTREAL, Oct. 16.-Judge YalIee, the sti-
pendiary magistrate for the north shore Of
the st. Lawrence, has returned to Quebec
after a five months visit to the Canadian
Labrador, the Island of Anticostia, and other
places. He reports that the fishing along the
Labrador coast has been very bad and unless
government assistance Is promptly sent many
deaths from starvation must occur before next
winter is over.
AS for the coast Indians, their condition is
even worse than that OF the fishing colonies
the field Of their hunt this year having been
very poor, and the Hudson Bay COmpany's
ports having refused in many places 10 make
them further advances, the result being that
many OF the Indian families returned 20 the
woods this fall without provisions.
The reasons assigned by the company for
making no more advances are that the In
dians do not adhere to their engagements 70
bring their furs 10 those who advance them
provisions and because they exchange their
furs for strong liquor.

one who was implicated in the robbery Of the
express car at Quantco. Va, last week.
AS soon as the officer attempted to make
the arrest the man started to run, but was
soon caught by the officer. he claimed to
have been stopping at one Of the hotels in
this city, and upon being taken to each ofthe
hotels in turn claimed that it was a different
one.
He was taken to the station-house and upon
being searched 81. .558 was found hidden in two
wooden stockings Nine hundred and twenty
three dollars were in notes, and $3.50 in silver,
one silver watch and one gold one, lot Of
pawn tickets, and three silver pocket-boOks.
A fine Colts navy revolver was on his per-
son. There were forty-three cartridges in his
pocket and a memorandum book showing
where the entire Doodle had been divided
between the men.
In his satchel were found old muddy shoes.
slouch hat, and wearing apparel that looked
like disguises
He claimed that he was an ex-detective in
Missouri and afterwards denied it.
He asked TO be taken to the water closet.
and while there tried to hide another revol-
yer and some money, but was caught in the
act
The man is rather large and weighs at
least 16O pounds. he is six feet tail. with
a smooth face and dresses neatly.
1t was discovered by the officials that he
had arrived in this city at about II o'clock

with several hundred dollars in a gambling
house.
He claims to belong 10 the Knights Of
Pythias, Masons, and several ether orders.
He was seen to-day coming out Of a clothing
store by Officer Goss, who on questioning
him tonight asked him about this
occurrence. The man stated that he
had purchased two suits Of clothes
and had paid for them, and intended
coming back to this city to get them.
He refused to give mis- name, and, after being
examined, was committed to jail to await a
trial on the 25th Of this month.
Ofacer Beck says he never had such hard
time in making an arrest, as the man
fought like lion and attempted to draw his
revolver
Since he was committed TO jail he has be-
come sulIen and refuses to talk. He walks
his cell and cannot sit still.
He curses the officer who made the arrest,
and threatens to make things lively for him
if he gets the chance.
Before his commitment he told so many
conflicting stories that there is not the least
doubt but thar be is one Of the men who so
successfully robbed the car.

CHERRY RUN, W. Va, Oct 16.-After a hot
chase Of three days the men who are believed
to have held up the northbound passenger
train at Aqua Greek, Va, on the -ichmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad last
Friday night, and robbed the express car Of
something ike 100000, were cornered near
here this afternoon by some detectives.
Cherry Bun is a village Of about hundred
inhabitants. only q few miles from Martins
burg. The robbers had been beating their
way across country, intending, no doubt, to
st-ike the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
make their way into the mining region Of
West Virginia.
Since the time the news Of the robbery was
made public, however, this entire section has
been overrun by detectives stimulated to ex-
traordinary efforts by the rewards offered for
tho capture Of the miscreants.
It was a party OF these sleuth-
hounds that came upon four suspi-
cious-looking men who answered the descrip-
tion Of the robbers as sent broadcast by the
police.
As soon as the robbers scented danger they
prepared to fight. They were well armed
and Tered desperate resistance. It took a
hard struggle to overpower them. but they
had to succumb at last
Two Of the men we're finally captured. Sc
far rs known none OF tho stolen money was
found on their persons, although very
minute search has not been made, and
this gives color TO the report that the
robbers, after leaving the scene Of their ex-
plot, put their booty in some cache, intend
ing to come back for it at some opportune
moment
Meantime, while the captured bandits were
taken 10 a place Of sate-keeping by some Of
their captors, the remainder Of the detectives
started in hot pursuit Of the two who had
managed to get away. The officers feel con
ndent Of catching up with the desperadoes
before many hours and landing them safely
behind the bars.
