that Gaynor and Greene were moving
heaven and earth to hush the matter up.
In December, 1899, Gaynor and Greene
and the other members of the Atlantic
Construction company were indicted by
the United States grand jury at Savan-
nah for conspiracy to defraud the
United States of $575, ,949.9O. A few
days later the indicted men surrendered
to United States Marshal Shields in
New York.
Then followed long struggle against
eXtradition to Savannah. Gaynor and
Greene had appeared in Savannah and
had each given bond of SAC, 900. Step
by step the case was fought, and when
the United States supreme court finally
swept away all distractions between
them and their trial. Gaynor and Greene
fed to Canada, and their bail bonds were
forfeited. 1t is said that the bondsmen
were afterward reimbursed by the fugi-
tives.
The two men went to Montreal first
and then to Quebec.
Kidnapped by Detectives.
EXtradition Commissioner Lafon-
taine at Montreal issued a warrant for
the arrest of the fugitives on the ap-
plication of the United States. Then
followed a dramatic event. On May 15,
1902, a party of detectives went to
Quebec secretly with Commissioner La
fontaine's warrant pounced upon Gay
nor and Greene, thrust them into closed
cabs, put them on the tug Spray, the
swiftest vessel on the st. Lawrence,
and started at full speed for Montreal.
Gaynor shouted from the cab window

PURE-BRED STATIONS.
They Alone Should Be Patronized in
Mating the Brood
Mare

Each owner of a brood mare should in
sist that the stallion with which she is
mated shall be pure-bred and duly re-
corded. 1t is ruinous policy to continue
breeding to scrub, grade and cross-bred
sires. Such horses may appear excel
lent individuals, but they lack fixed
breed power to transmit their character
istics. Pure blood means hereditary
power to reproduce breed type and in
dividual excellence, and is necessary in
the stallion to overcome the breed power
of his less excellent mates. Unrecorded
sires standing at cheap fees prove nn ex-
pensive proposition at the selling time
of their colts. Good feeding can never
offset faults derived from a poor sire,
but will perfectly bring out the good
qualities born in colts from an individu-
ally excellent, sound, pure-bred, record
ed stallion. Demand that every stallioner
shall show the pedigree certificate for
his horse, and learn to judge correctly
OF the merits of such papers Each stall
lion should have certificate of registry
in the stud book Of the breed to which he
belongs.-Dr. A. S. Alexander.

the tool shown in the cut says Robert
H. Smith, in Gleanings in Bee Culture.
1t is about eight inches long over all,
and consists of two parts, a wooden
handle and magnetized steel shank

the head of the tack adheres. 1 have

proved itself to be the very thing want
ed, doing it's work silently and pound
ing no fingers.
Besides being very useful for mailing
down no-drip sticks it is the best thing
that | have found yet for putting foun-
dation in frames, for with it the tight
ening strip can be forced down, and
small nails thrust into it without tear
ing and breaking the foundation as one
frequently does with hammer.
In use, the tool is grasped in the right
hand by the handle (something like
screwdriver), and the end the shank is
brought in contact with one of the tacks,
which should previously be scattered
about on top of the bench; then with
the left hand hold the point of the in
Gtrument steady to prevent the tack
from topping over, and thrust down
with the right, which firmly seats the
tack in the wood.
The tacks should be scattered enough
so that not more than one will be at
tracted to the magnet at a time, and
the tool held firm and true, with both
hands, when pressing in tack, to pre-
vent 1t from topping over.

has decided that Judge Caron had no

comes within the terms of the treaty.
Woman Causes a Quarrel.
During their five years residence in
the Dominion these two fugitives, al
though living in luxury, were socially
ostracized. For long time after they
fled to Quebec the eXiles lived in sumptu-
GUS style at the Chateau Frontenac,
where their lavish expenditures amused
and sometimes awed the simple people
of that city. They were together every
day, but they had a quarrel and separat-
ed. For months they were not on speak
ing terms. 1t was this estrangement
that led them to abandon their palatial
quarters and take up separate private
residences.
lie is said that there was woman in
the case, and that Greene leased house
in the outskirts of the city in the name
of Gaynor, which fact, when he discov-
cred it, was bitterly resented by Gaynor
for domestic reasons. Gaynor declared
to his companions in the barroom of the
Chateau Frontenac that Greene was un-
grateful, and that he would not have a
coat to his back were it not for him.

ter. The dates Of the checks thus drawn
corresponded with Carter's visits to the
Union League club in New York, Of
which he was member. It was esti-
mated that Carter's share OF the plum
der amounted to $722,52s.

Carter was tried by court-martial,

hand, Capt Greene, who lives with his
wife and servants in an equally fine
house in the same quarter of the city,
is practically recluse and sees nobody
but on the strictest business, applying
himself entirely to study. In spite of
their money, in spite of the clique of
lawyers and politicians who have, for
pay, helped them to defy justice, public
sentiment in Quebec regards these two
fugitives with scorn. Greene alone
seems to understand the real bitterness
of his lot. And now that the privy coun-
Gil has overturned the plot by which he

in Savannah, Ga, December 8, 1899,
charged with embezzlement and de-
frauding the United States government
nn the performance of government con-
rtracts for the improvement of the Sa-

ybor work in that district, the illicit
profits being estimated at S2,000,000.
Gaynor and Greene were arrested in
New York. They contested extradition
to Georgia and when the United States
commissioners decided that they must
sgo to that state and plead to the indict-
ments they fed to Canada. They had
Nbeen at liberty on $4,000 bail EACH and
Ithis was forfeited.
Efforts TO extradite Gaynor and
Greene from Montreal were progressing
faVorably and the eXtradition commits
,sion was sitting in Montreal when Gay
nor and Greene went to Quebec. A
question arose as to whether they could
ybe brought back and detectives kid
naped them and took them to Montreal.
There was big legal fight over this ac-
ton and Quebec Judge issued writ of
habeas corpus which was served on the
jailer ar Montreal, who delivered up the
prisoners without notification to the ex-
tradition tribunal and permitted them
to be rushed back to Quebec. Efforts to
quash the writ OF habeas corpus under
which they had been returned were de-

How Government Was Fleeced.
To understand this extraordinary case
it is necessary to recall it's events. On
April "a, 1888, Capt. Oberlin M. Carter,
of the United States corps of engineers,
took charge of the improvement of riv-
ers and harbors at Savannah, Ca, for
which work millions of dollars had been
appropriated. He so managed matters
that the Atlantic Construction COM
pany, consisting of John F. Gaynor,
Capt. Greene and E. H. and w. T. Gay
nor got control of the contract.
In May, 1897, Capt. Carter was ap-
pointed military attache of the United
States legation in London against his
protest. Capt. Gillette, the engineer
officer appointed to succeed him in
charge of the Savannah improvements,
charged Capt Carter with a conspiracy
to defraud the government in connec-
ton with the harbor contracts. In De-
cember, 1897, the secretary of war Or
dered the trial of Capt. Carter by court
martial. The charges were, roundly,
that Carter drew the specifications for
contracts so that no firm but the Allan
tic Construction company would dare to
bid on the work, that interior work and
materials were accepted and that the
surplus moneys above the actual cost
were divided pro rata between Gaynor
Greene and Carter.
1t was shown on the trial that these
payments were frequent, and that when
they were to be made Capt. Carter would
go to New York, where he would draw

Quebec.-As the result of the recent
decision of the British privy council, two
,fugitives from American justice will
probably soon be taken to the United
States to stand trial for their serious Of
1fense against the laws.
Years ago, before extradition treaties
had been arranged with European coun-
tries, the Canadian dominion or the
South and Central American republics,
1t was common practice of American
criminals to seek refuge outside the Dor
~ders Of the States" Canada, being
easy of access, was a favorite harbor for
-embezzlers and defaulters, and many
there defied the efforts of justice to bring
them to trial
Even after agreements had been eff
fected with most of the countries men
who had decamped with considerable
sums preferred taking their chances
with the eXtradition laws and with
government officials whose decisions
they could often influence with their i'll

home where certain punishment awaited
them.
