Yorkshire man, today successfully
SWAN the English channel from Do
yer, England, to Cape Girls Nez,
France
The swimmer landed at Cape Girls
Nez at 1890 this morning, almost eX-
actly twenty four hours after leav-

to emulate the feat of Capt. Matthew
Webb in 1875, and several times He
got within mile Of the goal, only
to be swept away by the receding tide.
On this occasion, which Burgess
said would be his last attempt, he
started from South Foreland at 1850
o'clock yesterday morning. A strong
tide was flowing and the swimmer had
tough task to get past Goodwin
Sands. Four hours after his departure
the swimmer was only six miles on
his way.
This was the last heard of him un-
til the news Of his success in reach
ing the French shore reached here,

CAsTABILE, KNOWN AS "THE
FOX" CAUGHT YESTERDAY
WITH INTERNAL MACHINE.
The Deadly Weapon" Law, Passed
for the Purpose Of Elusive Black
Hand Crooks, Proves Effective.
Capture Considered important.

New York Sept 6.-With a dapper
young Italian believed to be one of
the country's master criminals in their
hands, the police today spread their
nets for the gang of bomb-throwers.
blackmaijers and kidnappers that has
terrorized the Italian settlement here
for the last four years.
Giuseppe Castabile who was arrest
ed yesterday with dynamite bomb
under his coat, was arraigned today
under the new law, which makes the
mere possession Of a deadly weapon
felony but the police hope by to-
morrow to prove against him far more
serious crimes.
I'm many ways Castabile is the
most important prisoner we have ever
entertained, said Police Inspector
Hughes, There have been seventeen
bomb explosions in the Italian quar-
ter in the past month. How many of
these Castabile, who was known as
the fox and his subordinates are re-
sponsible for, | don't know, but we
hope to fasten enough on him to re-
move him from the scene of opera-
tions for some time"
The detention of Castabile in $40
GOO bail has proved the value of the
new deadly weapon" law; and for the
mere possession Of a bomb "the fox
may be sent to prison for seven years.
This law was passed particularly to
assist the police against elusive Ital-
ian criminals whom it it is difficult
{ conyct, because their victims are
afraid to testify against them.

instructions should be given by the

legal construction Of various kinds of
evidence
The determination of fine technical
tiles of law and the laying of the
legal basis for the argument of coun-
sci tomorrow We're expected to con-
sumo the entire days conference. An
other question, however, was. expect
ed to be settled by Judge Watson at
the conference namely, whether Beu-
lah Binford and Paul Beattie, held in
Jail since the arrest Of the accused
should be given their freedom. Judge
Watson has been anxious not to detain
them further, but the prosecution, it
was said, might urge their detention
until the verdict Of the jury is brought
in, which is expected to be before the
end of this week.
Wild Rumors Circulating.
Wild rumors are again in circulation
here that a member Of the jury and
the father of the prisoner once were
neighbors. and friends, but whether
the prosecution had deemed them of
sufficient Importance to bring to the
attention of Judge Watson, had not
been determined early today.
Beuah Free Today.
Mrs. J. E. Binford. mother of Beu-
lab, saw Judge Watson and attorneys
for the prosecution shortly after noon
today concerning the release of her
daughter from custody. Judge Wat
son declared that unless something
unforeseen developed he would issue
an order for her release tomorrow.
The Binford girl received the news
joyously When asked if she knew
any reason why she had not been al
lowed to testify, she guessed that they
found out enough through other wit
nesses.
IF Henry Beattie is guilty" she
said, however, as size leaned over a
banister in the jail today and talked
with several newspaper men, "I should
like to see him punished. I'd say
that about any man, whether I loved
him or not But I don't think Henry
Beattie would kill his wife. His dis
position was always good"
She confided that she had stage
offer, but had not decided as yet tc
accept it. She intends, however, tc
go to Norfolk tomorrow to go by boat
to New York, adding that she did moi
want to hear about the Beattie case

1ail. also expects his release tomor
row. He, too, has decided to go or
the stage. because, he said, he needed

ded in his mouth, S3S of the stolen
money. He endeavored to mislead
the officers by making out like he
was chewing tobacco, but he had the
greenbacks in his mouth. Other evil
dence had previously connected the
white man with the crime. He was
placed in jail at st. Marys and the
following morning attacked the jailer
and made his escape, but was later
captured.
O'Berry has confessed to the crime.

signed to a cell in the local jail, that
he would enter plea of guilty when
he came up for trial and would take
the result as best he could.

tion in Camden Immediately after

QUESTION WILL BE TAKEN UP
BY RETAIL MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION.
Large Majority Of the Merchants on
Newcastle Street Favor the Plan
and viii Discuss It at Meeting of
Association Next Week.

The agitation Of a white way for
Newcastle street is rapidly taking def
mite shape and at the next meeting
of the Retail Merchants and. Business
Mems association, to be held next
week, the matter will formally be
taken up by that organization and
some definite decision arrived at.
The question of a white way for
Brunswick has been discussed among
the Newcastle street merchants for
some time and when representative
OF company which furnishes the
lights visited the city last week and
explained in detail how the white
way could be secured, the probable
cost, etc, renewed interest was mani
tested in the matter, and it was fin
ally decided to bring the matter up
at the next regular meeting Of the
merchants association.
Practically every merchant on New
castle street who has been questioned
on the subject, favored the plan and
many of them have already agreed
to put in the necessary lights in
front of their respective places.
DR. e. G. Bruce, president Of the
association, in discussing the question
with News reporter last night, said
he had questioned many of the mer-
chants and not a single one had OBJ.
jected to the plan. In view of the
fact that most Of them want the white
way" he continued, eve will have
the matter up for discussion at our
meeting next week"
representative of the light and
water company will probably be pres
ent at this meeting and he will ex-
plain to the merchants just what the
lights will cost. The plan is, Of
course, that each merchant pay for
the lights in front Of his respective
place of business, and very low rate
viii be offered.
There is no doubling the fact that
a white way on Newcastle street, from
F to Mansfield, would add greatly to
the attractiveness of Brunswick's
principal street, and it is believed the
merchants will decide to put it in at
once.

A DEPUTY GAME WARDEN
Could do Some Good Work in
This Vicinity.

Complaints have come to THE TIMES
regarding the fish ladder in the Walker
river about three miles below town. 1t
is said to be out of repair and almost
useless for the purpose for which it was
intended.
1t is also stated that the Indians stav
near the ladder and catch the fish as
they try to get up the river to spawn,
using hand nets to do So
The fish ladder being of faulty con-
struction, few fish manage to negotiate
it, and most of these get by during the
night in the absence of the Indians.
Sportsmen say that a local deputy
game warden should be appointed who
would see that the ladder is fixed and
prevent the Indians from catching fish
out of season.
