Canadian Rustice moved swiftly to-day in the Lse of Dr. Hawley II. Crippen and ithel Clara Lenovo, who are charged J vlth being Guilty of the knowledge of an abominable crime" and,, fled ifrom the other side of the Atlantic only to be caught in a police trap be- Ifore they could put on Canadian soil. The Montrose, with' the prisoners aboard, arrived here early this morn ing. The prisoners were hastened through enormous crowds to the jail, where they were placed in cells. They had several hours refreshing sleep, tho best since they left July 9th, just before the awful murder was discov ered. To-day they wero arraigned sad held for further hearing on Au gust 8th. Miss Leneve is too ill to ap pear in court. Crippen as an American citizen may exercise his right of appeal to the American consul. There was great excitement in so ciety when the wireless brought the i news that the .long sought for couple ! had been placed under arrest. As the vessel neared port, tho prisoners be- came extremely restless and were so ( near physical collapse it is doubtful j if they could have come ashore un- assisted. Miss Leneve, now attired In a dress, which had been substituted for tho boy's attire in which she had travelled from England, was especial ly weak, while Crippen was as pale as death. It was with difliculty that tho prisoners were placed in carriages and taken through the crowd to jail, but were Anally landed there. Miss Leneve was made rather comfortable In a room, hut Crippen was treated as any ordinary prisoner and placed in a smart cell. The public seems to think that Miss Leneve is entitled to some, consideration. Later it has developed that Crippen and Miss Leneve might not start for London in charge of ofllcers until an officer arrives from England with ex tradition papers. Reports from tho jail tell of Miss Leneve's pitiful con dition She sobbed and moaned as she tossed on her cot early In the day, ard laer was handed a cablegram winch rer,d, "Tell all you know." Those who saw the message said it was signed "Papa." It is known that Miss Leneve's father Is In London and stoutly maintained his daughter was innocent of any knowledge of crime, and thai she believed herself the law ful wife of Cjippen, supposing his first wife had met a natural death nt't'er deserting tho doctor. it Is generally believed that In spector Dew of Scotland Yard has not obtained a confession from the pris oners. When Inspector Dew, with two other detectives boarded the Montrose disguised as pilots, Crippen Js be lieved to have suspected, for he asked the reason why so many pilots were boarding the vessel. Denouement was simple enough. Recognition between Dew and Crippen was mutual and im mediate When ho reached the com panlanway r.nd faced tho man whom he eo long had sought, the Inspector faltl, "Are you Dr. Crippen?" To th.s Crippen replied quietly, "I am," and then Dew placed him under ar rest Crippen, after ho was hand cuffed, said, "I am glad; the suspense was too preat." No handcuffs were us"l on the woman. She fninted at tV shock of the arrest, but quickly r" -vcred. Crippen announced in court that '", v iuM not resist return to Eng land. Phone I. s, Kaufman fc Co. you j Coal Order. SI.SO PER TON.

The Circuit Court will not convene until the next regular adjourned ses sion, September Gth, just previous to the regular session. Judge Coke has quite a number of cases to decide, but in these he will give his decision in vacation as quickly as the different cases can be reached. One very important matter which Judge Coke has under consideration, Is the case of the Port Commission, involving the tide lands owned by P. Hennessey. This case involves the question of the rights of navigation as against the rights of ownership of tide lands. It is really a law making case, as there are no other decisions just like it and it is a matter of great Importance.

After killing his'Vifo land child, the man vanished, aud up 'to the time he shot himself had been , sought by the police and citizens. The motive was revenge so far as the shooting of the firemen are concern ed, but why he killed his wife and child Is a mystery, although Mrs. Dur ham feared for her life for some time.
