THAW IS CAUGHT IN CANADA
Immediately Makes Preparation to
Resist ExtraditiOn.

Sherbrooke, ue.-Harry K. Thaw,
cut short in his flight from the state
hospital for the criminal insane at
Matteawan, N. Y, by arrest at the
village of st. Hermenegilde de Gar
ford, just over the international line
from New Hampshire, prepared in his
cell in the county Jail here to fight
against being sent back to the United
States. Thaw faces deportation on
the ground that he is an undesirable
alien, and extradition on a warrant
charging him with bribery. The war
rant, already issued in New York
state for his arrest on a charge of con-
spiracy, will not suffice to extradite
him, in the opinion of local authori-
ties. These authorities received word
that the district attorney of Duchess
county,, in which Matteawan is locat-
ed, was on his way here prepared to
swear to a warrant charging Thaw
with bribery-an extraditable offense
If necessary.

of Moose, charging them with respon-
sibility for the death of Christopher
C. Gustin and Donald A. Kenney,
while being initiated into the order,
have created more than statewide in
terest and will be fully investigated
also by the National order.
Gustin and Kenney both were
young married men. They were ini-
tiated during lively session recently.
According to testimony before the
coroner's jury, the initiation exercises
were varied and strenuous. One fea-
ture was to shock the candidates with
an electric current. Both young men
were in good health and physical con-
dition. To the surprise and horror of
the members present, the two candi-
dates keeled over dead under the cleo
trio current administered. Their fam
flies are understood to be preparing
for damage suits against the order
pending the action of the authorities.

Chambersburg, Pa.-His mind af-

Shearer, 80 years old, employed in
construction work here, was discov-
cred Wednesday morning sitting on
the big gilt ball on top of 45-foot
f1agpole in front Of an engine house.
He was praying at the top of his
voice, and persons aroused from sleep
hurried from their homes scantily clad
to witness the unusual spectacle.
Asked where he was from, he answer
ed, "From hell. ]"
To the query, "Where are you go
ing?'' he replied, "To heaven"
1t was learned that the man had
wandered about town all night, having
applied for admittance to the county
Jail early in the evening. He was
finally persuaded to descend and was
placed in the care of q physician.

HARRY THAW MAKES ESCAPE
Murderer Eludes Officer and 60
Horse Auto Takes Him.

Matteawan, N. Y.-Harry K. Thaw,
the slayer of Stanford White, escaped
from the hospital for the criminal in
sane here at 7:45 o'clock Monday
morning. A dart for liberty through
an open gate, a dash into the open
door Of q powerful automobile that
stood quivering outside, and flight
like rocket for the Connecticut state
line, 80 miles away, accomplished his
escape.
At nightfall he was still at large
and the hospital authorities felt GER
tain he was outside the state. Once
beyond it's boundaries, Thaw is prac-
tically free. Only long, perhaps
years, Of litigation can bring him
back, and then only in one vent-that
he be adjudged insane in the state to
which be has fled.
Five confederates manned the car in
which Thaw escaped and big black
limousine which trailed it past the
asylum gate. The police have their
license number and the names under
which they registered at local hotel,
and are seeking them.
The hospital authorities believe
Thaw has, fled to the shore Of Long
Island Sound and boarded a yacht,
waiting with steam up to rush him to
Europe.

Old Frigate in Collision.

Philadelphia old United States
frigate Santee, which did valiant work
in the war of 1872, the Mexican war
and the Civil war, and which was
being lowed up from Annapolis to q
point in New England, put into the
Delaware breakwater with six feet of
water in her hold. The old vessel was
in a collision shortly after leaving
Annapolis, but it was not serious
enough to endanger her.
The Santee, which was used as q
training ship and then a prison ship
after her efficiency as fighting craft
was over, was sold some time ago to
a Philadelphia firm to be broken up for
the copper that is on her hull. This
copper, it is said, has 10 per cent OF
cold in it.
