SUICIDE OF ONE OF THE CANADIAN EXPRESS co.RoBBERs Was CorraIled by Detectives in St.
 Louis-Search for Second Man.

St. Louis. Mo, Nov. 14.-Chief of Detectives Smith has partly identified Andreas Sander, a fugitive who com mitted suicide yesterday when sur rounded by detectives, as one of the robbers who attacked a clerk for the Falls, Ont November IA, and stole $t4,0O0.
 The description of another of the robbers is almost identical with that of one of Islanders companions in St. Louis. The police are now seeking this man. Slander was absent from St Louis for three weeks prior to No- Vember '. and not even his wife was aware of his whereabouts.
 Sander killed himself yesterday with a revolver after a four mile pursuit, during which many shots were ex- chnaged with detectives. The officers were seeking to arrest Slander on the charge of robbing the Rainey River branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia at Rainey River, Ont.
 Niagara Falls. Ont, Nov. 14.-The robbery of the Canadian Express of flee here on November was one of the boldest and cleverest pieces of work that ever came to the attention of the Dominion authorities. Within a brief space of five minutes, while all the station employees. except Cashier William Dobscn, were out on the platform to meet an incoming train, two men walked into the office, knock ed the cashier down and escaped with $14,156 in cash consigned to Toronto and Buffalo barks. So well laid were the plans of the robbers both for the stealing of the money and their escape that not the slightest clue has been found as to their identity.

 FROM 101-2 MILES TO 20.
Clark of Xavier A. A. Travels at Rec
 ord Breaking Gait.

New York, Nov. 14-A1 American amateur track records from 101-2 to 20 miles were broken today at Celtic park, in the 20 miles run which was the main event in the annual games of the Shamrock Athletic club. James Clark of the Xavier A. A. won in 1.5S.27 3-5, agains the old record of 2.07.11, made by James Crowley of the Irish American A. c. last January.
 The leader at 10 1-2 mbiles was Crowley, his time for that distance be- ing 5S.02, almost one minute better than the record which has stood since 1889. Crowey led up to the 17th mile, breaking all Intermediate records. Then he stopped almost ao a walk, and Clark took teh lead. which he kept to the tape, making new marks for every mile. He finished more than half mile ahead of Harry J. Jensen, Pastime A: C., who was second. ten yards in front of William Frank. of the Irish-American A. c. All three were inside tn cold record.
 Edwin H. White, of the Holy Cross Lyceum, was fourth, with Crowely fifth, half a lap. behind. Forty-fve started, but only five finished.

New Astronomy.

The new astronomy-the astronomy which has satisfied science that the stars contain the same substances as compose the earth, and all this by the analysis of the fxed-star's point of light reaching us after shooting along for four years, whereas the forty thousand-m -mil1ion-time greater light from the sun reaches us after eight minutes of travel-is less than a quar- ter of a century old. having been born in the observatory of Sir William Hug gins. Sir William, however, no more feels that he knows it alT' than does any of these musing mystics. This is the closing sentence of his new book:
 Since the time of Newton our knowledge of the phenomena of nature has wonderfully increased. but man asks, perhaps more earnestly now than then, what is the ultimate reality. bes hind the reality of the perception? Are they only the pebbles of the beach with which we have been playing? Does not the ocean of ultimate reality and truth lie beyond ?"-Boston Transcript

LABOR AND THE SALOON
 THE QUESTION DISCUSSED
By Prominent Labor Leaders at To-
 ronto Mass Meeting.

Toronto. Ont, Nov. 1.-The qIes- ton of labor and the saloon was dis cussed this afternoon by prominent labo rleaders at big mass meeting in Massey hall. The Rev. Charles Stclze, a fraternal delegate to the convention of the American Federation of Labor from the federal council of the church. es of Christ in America, presided and mace the principal address. The other speakers included Vice President John Mitchell and Treasurer J. B. Lennon of the American Federation of Labor. President Thomas l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America, and James Simpson of Toronto.
 Mir. Mitchell declared that organized labor ine its fight for better conditions for the wage earners, is doing more organization and he refuted the con- tention that shorter hours of labor and increased wages result in added profits to the saloon.
 MT. Lennon said the liquor business lowers the standard of efficiency of the workingman and prophesied that the time would come when the forces Of labor would be arrayed against the saloon.
 The United Mine Workers, MT. Lew is said, have prohibited their mem bers from selling intoxicants. even at ricnics. Education of the masses. ke argued, would go long way tow3rd eradicating the liquor traffic.
 Rev. MT. Stelze, in bis address said: "The saloon and the labor nall must bs divorced. This has been the thrice repeated declaration of the American Federation of Labor. In 100 many cities of our country trades unionis-s 5 are compelled to pass through the ss- icon in order to get to their meeting places, and woe be to the ma1 who doesn't stop to take a drink. Often times the saloon keepers have a mo- nopoly of the meeting places in the city and many of the workingmen of America are helplessly in the power of these hall owners.
 What is needed today Is a conserv- ative agency which shall provide sub stitutes for the saloon"

NARROW ESCAPE OF
 LORD AND LADY MiNTo.
Two Bombs Thrown at Carriage of
 viceroy of India.

Ahmedabad, British India, Nov. H. Lord Minto, the viceroy of India, and Lady Minto had a narrow escape yes- terday from being killed by bombs They were driving through one of the streets when, without warning, two bombs were thrown at their carriage A dragoon who was riding alongside spurred forward and with outstretched sabre intercepted the first bomb, hurl- ing it some little distance away in a sand heap. The second bomb struck the viceroys jemidar, native lieuten- ant. who was holding an umbrella over Lady Minto, and fell harmlessly to the ground.
 Neither bomb exploded, as the soft sand acted as a buffer. On examina- tion they were found to contain picric acid. Just prior to this. as the car riage passed through one of the streets, bomb exploded some little distance away. Police and others, at tracted by the explosion, ran up and found a man on the ground with his hand blown off. He proved to be an innocent bystander. The bomb throw CTS made their escape in the excite ment and as yet no arrests have been made

 According GO statement made by Charles R. Vogel, who was with Bran don when the fight took. place, Rr1afa-, don and Nichols met at Church cor ners and Brandon asked his brother in-law what he had against him and Nichols replied by asking Pfandon the same question. This was followed by Brandon's twice attempting to strike Nichols, both blows failing to land. On 'Brandon's second attempt to strike Nichols, the latter struck him in the face, knocking him to the ground his head striking the curbstone. rendering him unconscious. Vogel. Nichols and a third member of the party James P. Christopher, believing that Bran don was stupefied from the effects of intoxicants, carried him to the horse sheds in the rear of the church and left him there, Nichols agreeing to stay with him until daylight. This morning Nichols attempted to arouse Brandon and failing in this called two physicians who, on examination, found that Brandon's skull was fractured and ordered his removal to Hartford hospital, where he died late today.
 On hearing of his brother-in- Jaws death, Nichols consulted an attorney, and on his advice gave himself up to the town authorities and will be given a hearing on the 25th.
 Brandon and Nichols resided in the same house and it is alleged that there had been blood between the two, owing to the alleged i'll treatment by Nichols, of his wife, Brandon's sister.

Mme. SteinheiI
 Acquitted
JURY RETURNED VERDICT EARLY
 SUNDAY MORNING.
DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT
Woman Paints as Spectators at Trial cheered the verdict--ceremony of "Liftins the Bolts" Teday.

Paris, Nov. 14-Mme. Margherita Steinheil was acquitted by jury at an early hour this morning of the mur- der of her husband, Adolph Steinheil, a painter and her stepmother, Mme. Japy. The verdict was rendered after the jury had thrice summoned the president of the court for explanations, thus proving that the original major ity was for conviction.
 To some degree sentiment and a stuffy, crowded court room favored the prisoner, and the delay caused much apprehension. With the first ap- pearance of the jury, however, several of whom were smiling. an instinctive feeling of acquittal flashed through the court room. ~s-
 BedIam Broke Loose.
 A dramatic scene followed. The red robed judges and counsel filed in and took their places. Every eye was riv- eted on the door through which the prisoner should enter, but she did not appear. M. de Valles, the presiding judge, turned to the jury and said: Have you reached a verdict ?''
 The foreman arose and replied: "On our conscience we answer No to ev- cry. question"
 A salvo of "bravos" followed this announcement and bedlam broke iOOCC. AfA- <iuOAL, IOuncCi AOl olniC. Steinheil. embraced his colleagues. Men and women in the rear of the hall jumped and screamed for joy. The judge threatened to clear the court room. and when a semblance of order was -rstorted he called: Bring in the accused
 The Accused Brought In.
 Fully two minutes passed before the black robed figure, with white face dropping on her breast, appeared in the doorway, supported on either side by a gendarme. The woman swayed and seemed to be fainting, but in re- she lifted her head and looked about, smiling faintly in acknowledgment. Then she tottered forward and sank on the floor beside the rail. Faint Murmur of Thanks.
 When the judge pronounced the ver- dict her faint murmur of thanks was hardly heard. An instant after M. Aul,in was the rail, lifting her in his arms. The crowds surged forward in a. solid wall making the rafters ring with cheers. Outside the gloomy court house tens of thousands, who had been waiting for hours, took up the cry. Special editions of the papers spread the news like wildfire through the .DOuieVdEuS, where lHouSdnuS more were waiting in front Of the cafee, and the same scenes of rejoicing were wit messed there.
 Will Leave Prison Today.
 After being. tenderly assisted out of the court room, Mime. Steinheil was conducted from the building by one of the numerous subterranean pass ages. Where she was taken is not known but probably she was escorted back to St Lazare prison, as the French procedure requires the for mality of lifting the bolts' before the definite release of the prisoner. This ceremony will take place tomor- row.
