bringing with him J. c. Mayer. the New
York life insurance agent. arrested there
on charge OF obtaining check for s. 500
from John MacLaren. proprietor of the
Ontario Glove Works. on false pretences.
The prisoner takes his arrest cooIIy.
Meyer came to Brockviile some weeks
ago One of the first men he called upon
was Senator Fulford. to whom he started
in eloquent language to unfold the spIen-
did inducements offered by mis- company
The senator had seen the man few days
previous in TIC Windsor Hotel, Montreal
where he cut eOnsiders Bile of q figure and
did Eot exactly like his style and lost no
time in telling him that he wanted no
more life insurance
The stranger, who is OF Jewish extrac-
ton. then interviewed John MacLsren. Mr.
MacLaFen became interested in the induce
meIts held out by the plausible talker and
cook u chance on placing q S1o0 COO policy
on his life. The first premium amounted
TO $500 for which Mr. MacLaren forthwith
gave a check. This check vas afterward
cashed in Ottawa by the Bank of Ottawa
Some time after the transaction took place
Mr. MaeI-2ren discovered that the contract
as stated in the policy differed in terms
from the bargain made with the agent and
on reading the policy, It IS alleged. he
found 1t was not the investment he was
led to believe il would be. He therefore
took steps to have the agent brought to
justice for obtaining money under false
prateEces- He swore out warrant for
Mayors arrest before Police Magistrate
Deacon. Armed with this document. Chief
Adams proceeded to Montreal yesterday
and arrested his man late IN the afternoon
Mayer was arraigned in The Police Court

so On and the prisoner was renamed.

Three Houses ON Il street Northeast
Damaged by Fire.

A fire Of unknown origin broke out this
morning, about Sis O'clock. in house 81 K
Street northeast, owned and occupied by
Mary o'Connor. An alarm was sounded
from box 81. and the prompt response of
the fire department prevented the destruc-
ton Of that and the adjoining buildings.
When the fremen arrived the flames had
already eaten their way into the houses
on either side and it was with difficulty
that the fire was confined TO the rear of
the buildings.
The damage, which is fully covered by
insurance, is as follows: House so, owned

1t is fact of ever increasing aston.

Over Fifty Lives Lost.

Dallas, Tex, April l0.-Reports received
from the flood sections show that more
than so lives have been lost, including
those at Austin. Many of the localities
where the lives were lost are off the rail
road and telegraph lines.
Wires in the southern section are in a
worse condition than ever before. Rail
road traffic of the southern half of the
state is abandoned.
Austin, Tex, April l0.-Reports from
Bastrop, Fayette and Wharton counties,
on the Colorado river below, are to the
effect that the full force of the flood is
just being felt there. Water is rising so
rapidly that the people are preparing to
desert their homes with all possible speed
to protect their lives.
Reports from Bastrop state that IL peo-
pie were drowned there during the night.
In Wharton and Fayette counties the
situation is even more grave and it is ex-
pected that yesterdays flood in that Sec
ton will not only pile up the immense
property loss, but that the list of lives
lost will be considerable.
