ATTEMPTS TO POISON HIM, His Wife and Two Young Men Arrested, All Share* is I-vaned—It Is. Alleged That There Was a Family Bow Some Time Ago and Evans Lett Ells wife to go to ti,e Northwest—The Crown Claim to nave a Very Strong Case. Ordinarily, Mr. J. M.• Wingfield, Justice of the Peace, is net onaled upon to consider oases of very tttartiin.g itnpertance, but yesterday afters ooaa he had betore him as a prisoner a pretty young woman accused of a crime wvhioh, if proved against her, will sated her for a long term to the penitentiary. Nor is she alone included in the charge. Together with her two young ,nen have bean arrested en an aoousetien of eonsplring to commit murder under airmen - stances which, if brought home to them, will deny to any of them the slightest claim o the sympathy of the community. According to the story, the truth er falsity of which will, no doubt, be elicited in the Criminal Aetize Court, Mre. Lottie Evens, wife of Walter Evans, a hotelkeeper at Sharon Village, which is situated four miles from Newmarket, conspired with George Osman, her mensin, who was ongegad ns hestier at tier huobend'a hotel, and Charles Pegg, a young man of about 22 years of ego, living with his aunt, t© poieon Walter Evans, her husband. One attempt, according to the allegation, was made on January 2rsd, and the other on January 6th, and, vrbila neither was successful, and the man is still alive, the officers of the Crown •oLaim to have established such a chain of proof against the prisoners that they cannot possibly break through it. THE BVANS comma. Mr. Walter Evans, en whom it is claimed the attempt was made, is a young men of 34 years et age. Eleven years ago he mar - tied Miss Lottie Horn, who was then about 18 years of age, and whose father Is a sub. ateutial fat mer of that part of the Province. The young couple, who attempted farming at first, evidently settled down as pro- prietera of the betel at Sharon. Their mar- ried life seems to have been troubled for the past few years, at least with very stormy scenes, and on several oocaetens it is alleged the wife has threatened to leave her hue - band. Together with reports more or loss loud, regarding their marital troubles, have been mingled rumors that Mrs. Evanoreeeivod attention from one or two male friends thoubhnopre efehave been adduced that there was anything improper in her conduct. Among the young men who were frequent visitors at the hotel was young Charles Pegg, who lived en and managed the farm of his aunt, a few miles from the hotel. He spent a good deal of his time at the Evanse; and was reported to be on a footing of at least -friendly intimacy with the landlady. While the gossips of the countryside talked, however, and shock their heads with maiielous knowingness, nothing was ever expeoted to occur which would throw them into the ferment of excitement which they are now laboring under. It is asserted that not a little of the misunderstanding which was said to exist between Mr. Evans and hie wife arose ever his irregular habits, and the fact teat he did not abstain to the ex- tent he might have done from stimulants. SUSPICIONS OF POISONING. A few days age the Crown officials in 'Taranto were informed that en two mica - Mew during the present month Mr. Evans had twee 111, and that Dr. Ho eve, of New- market, who attended him, had strong sus- picions, if not positive proof, that he had on both occasions been suffering from strychnine poisoning, The information came from a source so credible that, although no complaint had been made by the injured man, or by any of hie imme- diate relations, all of whom, in fact, have been entirely silent regarding the matter, the Crown officers had no epiloa but to *eke action. Aaoordingly,'on Monday even- ing Crown Attorney H. H. Dewert notified Mr. John Hodgins, one of the oldest and most capable of Toronto's detectives, to proceed to Sharon and make careful and thorough inquiries into the facie of the oase. On Tuesday morning Mr. Hodgins reached Newmarket, and immediately began his ie- vestigatiens. Dr. Howe, who attended Evans, is a resident of that place, and from him the detective learned that Evans on bath occasions had undoubtedly been suffering from strychnine poisoning. All the symptoms pointed oenolusiveiy to this fact. After obtaining from the doctor all that he knew, the relatives of Mr. Evans were questioned, and a number of facts which will only come out at the examina- tion were obtained. Mr. Hodgins became convinced be"ore he had proceeded very far that the story had enough of truth to notify the meet ecrutleizing inquiry. He discovered that one of the men new under arrest bad purchased 30 grains of seryoh- nine from a droggbet in Bradford on Decem- ber 50 h, three days before Walter Brass was first taken III, and bad again bought 20 Brains on January 4th, two days before the second attack of Misses,. Bradford is situ. Ailed eight miles from Newmarket, in the opposite direction from Sharon. The drug- gfet gave the desteative positive information as to the person of the purchaser, no it ie alleged. TAKEN WITH RAW OYSTERS. Of the first purchase, part, it it meld, was ' mixed with some raw oysters, of which Mr. Evan partook on January 2nd, but his lack of appetite paved him from taking a sufficient quantity to cause hie death. The remainder woe destroyed. Silently after he had eaten ho became ill, and asked that Dr. Howe be summoned. The doo- 1 e earrivod promptly, and succeeded in ..ringing his panenb around. Although observing the symp'.eme with much cart - witty, Dr. Howe could not bring himself io credit the suspicions which arose in his mind, and dismioaed thorn as best ha could. When he was called on again on the 6th Ise could not so easily quiet his suspicions. The oiranmsbances, it is said, which led up , to this attack, was the giving of Evans, who Wee still suffering from the canons of the last dose, a powder wiaioh tient',nod a quantity of the second purchase. WARRAIsTe Foil mean ARRESTS. After these set other ironiries Detective Hodgmns returned to the city and planted the result of his investigation before the authorities, and it was deolded to issue warrants for the arrest of Mns.

She was very much fright- ened, but said that their visit wag not un- expected by her. Mrs, ''Evans ryee sent to Torontoin charge of °imitable Stewart Detective Hedgine then obtained the assist- ance of Constable Thomas Somerville and Constable Savage, of Newmarket, and went atter the men who were named in the war- rants. It wan found that Osman bad thrown up his job at the hotel on Monday lamb, and wee at the farm of an uncle ono and a half miles from Queeneville. Thither Constable Somerville was de- ,patched to make hhi arrest, while Mr. Hodgins and Oouatable Savage went to the fart., of Pegg's aunt to take him in charge. Both men were found and taken to New- market, where they were kept until the evening train for Toronto arrived, when they wore breeght here and seat to the jail for safe keeping. The men, as well as the woman, showed much signs of uneasiness and distress on being arrested. It is said that Evans, the husband, had $2.000 insurance en his life, which had been originally made out in favor of himselfor heirs, but which was about Ootober het made over to Mrs. Evans. The husband of Mrs. Evans, who has en- tirely recovered, io not only not a party to the prosecution, but is strongly opposed to the whole proceedings. He is firmly con- vinced that his wife never, made any at- tempt en his life, and he is strongly desir- ous of seeing her liberated at once. This mernleg young Pegg end Osman will appear before Justice Wingfield, and will probably be remanded to the jail for one week, as Mrs. Evans was yesterday. The question of bringing oases of this character away from the place in which the accused are known, and to a place about 40 roles off for their preliminary exeminatien, will forte the subject of a discussion In the County Council this morning,. " The only ether source through whom application for bail could be made," the Crown Attorney continued, "is the Attorney -General's office, and the Attorney. General would undoubtedly have oeneulted me. In any case, I would require twenty- four hours' notice." " I am not at all surprised that no bail has been granted in this case" said a gen- tleman who knows the inside history of the case a little later. " There Is no deubb the case has aroused greater interest in our locality than any of a similar kind that I can remember. NO PREVIOUS CRIMINAL os'rerNCE, so far as my knowledge goes, can be charged to either of the three prisoners in ceabady —Mrs. Evans, George Osman and Charles Pegg. By the way, though, trouble between Mrs. Evans and her husband hat been brewing for some time, ib Is told. They were married some ten or elevea years age, and have no children. Three years since they had a little difficulty over a matter of a similar nature. The memo of young Pegg was not then mentioned, but that of the eon of a hotelkeeper at Prince Albert, who hassincemarried. He was said to have been partly responsible for the row. Evans at that time left the country, and went be Dakota, where he took a farm in the vicinity of Bathgate. He was nob long there before he took dangerously ill. Mra. Evans, who remained in the hotel, heard of hi. innate, went there and nursed him through it. That one incident may be partly responsible for hie devotion and re- fusal to accuse her in the present trouble. Although he had taken two horses and some stook with him, as sown as convalescent he pulled up his stakes and returned, Mtn. Evans preceding him about a month. Evans tuherited a farm soma ei.. years ago from his WEALTHY AND ARISTOCRATIC NATTIER, but the deed provided that If ho pre- deceased his mother it should go to her other children. It was for some reason of this sorb that the farm was mortgaged, and two years ago, be satisfy the mertgage, Evans took out a poiioy of $'„2,000 ors hie life in the Canada life Assurance Company. Last autumn, before Evans went to Mus- koka, where he la in the habit of going shooting very frequently, the name of his wife wait substituted for those of the beneficiaries in the policy. That eircnm- stance has amortised strong suspicion in the present ease. Oa the death of btu grand• uncle some fifteen years ago, Evans' mother, who will be one of the principal wiPnorsses of the Crown against Mrs. Evens, came into a heap of property. She is a direot DESCENDANT OF VISCOUNT AunUTHIeOT, of England. It was only by a narrow margin that Evans himself mimed bearing the title and a fortune which his father renes uncle received of $30000 each. His father was a lineal descendent of the Englioti aristocracy, though nob titled, and became connected with the Arbuthnot family by marriage, "The father of the prisoner, Mrs. Evans, is Patrick Heron, a farmer of Sharon. He was formerly a hotel keeper ab Q aesnrville, but gave it up shortly before Evans bought the house in Sharon." " If Evans miners to make a complaint who is the prime mover in the present case against Mrs. Evans and the two male prisoner. I" " I understand," replied the informant, " that the difficulty cams to a climax in the Evans Hotel on a Sunday some months age, when there was a general family conenita- don. Evans' mother and mister, Mrs. Wesley, of Graveiehuret, brought Meru. Evens, the natured, to task, and is Is alleged that there wan an admission of some kind mode and the trouble blew over.

That was ermine, timely, and that is the whole history of the case," the in- formant concluded. THE CASE ADJOURNED. The prisoners,. Osman and Pegg, were brought before Squire Wingfield at 2 e'clock yesterday afternoon, enet remanded until next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'oloak, to allow the Crown to complete the case against them. The prisoners made no state - meat, but from their behavior seemed to feel their position keenly. They were taken back to jail. Evan. paid his wife a visit to the jail yentordey afternoon.

Childs, proprietor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, wets a man who, by his public spirit and privatebenefaotione, made for himself a place in the hearts of alt lovers of the good in humanity. He was a private gentlemen. lie sieves held office. He had no relations with political parties. He was a philanthropist in the truest sense. Writing of him in April, 1892, Hon. John Russell Young said : Mr. Childs ties endeared himself to hie generation by philanthropies. Well -doing and lavish giving, however, are practised by many olaoses and (onditiens of man. The untiring beneficence of Mr. Childs is only a richer and fuller illustration of what may be seen in many circles and under the hum. blest conditions. It is a virtue, a merit, but rather to be aocepted than praised. Upon that alone his fame could not rest. Philanthropy is regarded by the judgment of neon as a decoration or a gasmenit The sheer giving of money might readily be. come a vulgar business—and no genuine fame comes from it. Mr. Childe as a philanthropist would be of no mere coiese- quence than successful brewers who build uathedrab, and whose fame is dead before the capstone is in piece. The life of Mr. Childs is an example. We see in his character, first and above all, commanding ability, will and force of char- acter. In the feoulby for doing things—and there is no higher in this practical Nine- teenth Century—who has surpassed him ? He is a wise man, with intuitions clearer than those of any American of hie day. No storm can overcast, no lightning flash disturb that keen, sovereign reason. One of his benefactions widely known Is the Childs -Drexel Home for Aged Printers, but that is only a email matter to many of them. Writing (by request) of his experi- ences with hundreds et poor girls whom he has educated and doweled, Mr. Child, said: "Ib is not generosity that has made me helpful in this respect to girls : it is in part selfishness. I went to see where my money gees. I want to knew that it is circulating, that it is doing geed. I sometimes feel that the only money I have is that which I have given away. The rest is just waiting. The money that I have spent upon ether people baa been that which I nave most enjoyed." Of his idea of a newspaper Rev. Dr. Prime said: " Mr. Childs erminded from the paper all details of disgusting crime ; all reports of such vice as may net be with propriety read aloud in the family, that poison the minds of young men, inflame the passions and corrupt the heart ; all scandal and slang, and that whole class of news which constitutes the staple of many daily papers. The same rule was applied to the advertis- ing columns, and from them was excluded. all that, in any shape or form, might be offensive to good morals." Mr. Childs leaves a name and memory each as only princes of humanity leave. The world sorrows over Duoh a loee. The clean, high-minded, retiring and generous men are nob too plentiful. 1T IS S'HONOLNCED DAIt VAD -E -F. • Information on a Timely Subject, and the Language of the Hawaiians. "How do you pronounce the name of the island kingdom which wants to be annexed to the Untied States ?" was, frequentques- tion recently. The most commonly accepted erthopey is "Huh-wi-e,"the second syllable accented and the "i" long as in "pine." The question wan enoo asked of In high caste Helvetian lady, well educated in her own and the English language. She ans- wered : " The proper pronunciation is ' Hah- vah-e-e. There is no 'w' in the alphabet, and no letter or combination of letters, which takes the mound of 'w,' as in English. the missionaries who drat translated our language hued it dif6r.uit to pronsanco or express the sowed which is, to my ear, cor- rectly conveyed by the letter 'v' softened and made lull. Our 'a' is pronounced broad, as yen pronounce it in ' fall,' and our 'i' is like the English 'e.' The rule is to prosonece every vowel, and as the ex- ception to the rule does not affect the double 'i' in Hawaii, you will see blab the word is ' Hah-vah-s-o."' These are the twelve letters of the Hawaiian language, with their pronuncia- tion? A (h), e (e), I (e), o (eo), h (hay), k (kay), 1. (tab), na (mere), n (sea), p (pay), v (ve,e ). Tame is ne sound of "1," as in the English language, except where "a" follows " w," or, as the Hawaiian lady would lariat, "v." There is a great differ- ence in the tangeage as spoken by the high and low caste Hawaiians. The low caste speak with a snoseseion of explosive stat- oato, gutturals ; the high caste with a liquid flow that makes it a beautiful lauguega, The insistence upon the "v" instead of the "w" sound is considered, even by some of the educated and all of the vu - educated, as somethhing of an affectation. —Language. Cermeny the Land of nooks. Does the Angle -Saxon pride of race give England and America the general impres- sion that they are first in the field of literary activity, as in so many other fields ? If so, I fear that pride must have a fall. Far they are outdone by at least three continental nations. The average number of books published each year in England and in this country holds nearly the same— eb at 5,000, exceeding these of France by 1,000.

"DEATH TO THE BOURGEOISIE!" "I Shall be Revenged I" line Said—Very kaput Work— The Anarchist's Wonder. fug Nerve—Monsieur De Paris Was Nervous. The precautions taken by the authorities to prevent any Anarchist demonstration at the guillotine were perfect, and many of the crowd that had gathered to witness the execution, finding that the guards pre- vented them from seeing anything of the guillotine, left the violniey of the Roquette prison, in which Vaiiiant was waiting the coming of the headsman, before the time the expected exeoution would take place. Judge L'Eepinaste, before whom Vall- iant was tried, arrived at the prison at en early hour, end shortly afterward M. Lapin, Proteob of Police, visited the Place de he Roquette to see that every precaution had been taken to guard against a demonstra- tion. irMONSIEUR DE PARIS APPEARS, After the guillotine had been set up in the Place de la Requette, but a few feet from the doorway of the prison, by the as- sistants of M. Diobler, the gtato mem. timer, the latter appeared and tested the machine of death. After examining the pulleys and finding that they worked all right, the knife was Inserted. This knife, welch was a foot wide, bad a diagonal edge, one End being a foot longer than the other. At 6.45 e'oleok, the gaslights in the vicin- ity of the prison began to pale. It was estimated at this time that not more than seven or eight hundred people were waiting to see the execution, but ao it grew later the crowd slightly increased, and at the time the knife full about twelve hundred people were preesnt, Many persons were standing on the reefs of houses from which A 'min OF THE GUILLOTINE could be had. Everybody was remarkably silent. There was none of the shrieking that usually marks an execution here. At 7 o'clock twenty-five mounted guards edvanced to the front of the guillotine. Muskets wore slung across their backs, and ail carried bared sabree in their hands. All the troops present straightened up as the little doer in the gateway onoted. This was a signal that the double doors veteran shortly swing open to allow the passage of Valliant and bio attendants. At 7 10 o'oleck all the gas lamps were ex- tingnisbed except the one nearest the guillotine. At 7 o'clock, Head Warden Brun, Judge L'Esp:'naese, Registrar. Horleh and District Police Commissary Leygonle entered Vatl- lent's cell to inform him that the time had arrived for the sentence of the law to be carried out. The CONDEMNED MAN WAS SLEEPING when they arrived. He was awakened and told to prepare for death. Ho appeared to be turpriaad, and began to reitenete the theories he advanced be''ose the assize eeurb. He declared that though it was easy to suppress him, it was impassible to eupprees anarchist ideas. " My body is nothing," he added, "compared with the progress of my principles. I shall he revenged." Valnac+t was perfectly calm and displayed no fear whatever. The warden asked him if he would like to tee the obaplaio. " No," replied Vaillant, "I will not see him." "Will yen have something to drink ?" asked the warden. " No," Vailjnt replied ; "I shell have enough oonr::ge without that." Ae a matter of fact, the courage of the condemned man wee remarkable, as the later incidents show. Ho was SHACKLED BY THE EXECUTIONER'S assistants and then ordered to fellow to the guillotine. He obeyed the order readily; and as he left the prison his form was up- right. He walked se quickly ere hie snack. los would pillow, without leaning for sup- port on the aeste`elute, one of whom walked on seen side of him. As Valliant appeared ontside the prison, wearing only a shirt and trousers, every- body bared their hetdn, and the troops presented arms to salute him who wee looked upon as already deed. Chaplain Vals,drer, whose ministrations Vaillanb had refused, stood outside the pr'sen in order to be near should the prisoner ehinge hie pair d. Hie sarvicec, however, were not called for. Vaillant advanced itteadily. When about eighty yams outride the prison he sprang forward a little to shrub, " DEATH TO THE BOURGEOISIE 1" " Long live anarchy I" As ho shouted his last cry his voice resounded ever the whole rquare. When he bad finished he was about three yards from the plank on which his body was to be fastened, It has been customary for the executioner's assistants to push the condemned criminals ageiosp this plank, but as Vaillant reached it be sprang forward and placed himself against it. Tile plank dropped, and in a shorter tiete than It takes to write it Vailiant'e nook slipped under the glletening knife, end the moment he was in position Diobler touched the spring. THERE WAS A FLASH as the heavy blade descended, end then the spectators saw a head and a bleeding slump of a nook drop into the basket placed behind the guillotine. The head turned around as it was severed from the body and dropped into the }molest face up. A second later, the plank twisted to the left and the trunk was thrown into a large basket placed along- side of the guillotine to receive it. Between the time of Veilianb'e arrival at the guillotine and the closing of the basket containing his remains, scarcely more then 20 seconds elapsed. Diobler, who has received many letters threatening him with death if ho executed Valiant, and who at one time wished to re- elgn his position rather than to put the Anarchist to death, appeared paler and more nervous than Valliant, A DISAPPOINTED POPULACE. • By the time the execution hal been per- formed the crowd had grown somewhat in numbers. Most of theta who witnessed the oxecgtiou were working peop'e of the die- erien who had learned winen they arose to go to their work that Vaillant would he put to death this morniarg. Had the news been known earlier there is no doubt that an im- mense °Kowd would have been present. The usual mob that gathered to witness exeon- tions had been twice disappointed !hirer waiting alt night, so they missed the gull - Wining of *Vaillant, not caring to sit or attend all night again on the ohanee of seeing him pub to death. Most of the mon who witnereed the arecu- llen of Valiant wore biome and peaked caps, and the women, of wham there were not a few, were without bonnets and wore aprons. fell, Veiilant'e body was placed in one of the waiting vans and taken to the Ivry Cemetery, The van was preceded by twenty mounted guards and followed by a similar number and a carriage containing officiate, The route to the cemetery was covered at a ga;lep, The remedies were ora teneibiy interred in that pert of the come - leery known as the "turnip field," which Is reserved for oriminele who are guillotined. It is believed that after going through the form of interment the body was delivered to the medical faculty for the purpose of diseeoting. While the body wee being taken to the cemetery, the assistants of the executioner TOOK DOWN THE GUILLOTINE, end then, with mops and buckets of water. cleaned the flagstones of all traces of blood. Their work tlntahed, they lingered for u time tister:irg to the remarks of the °rowel. The courage of Valliant woes highly lauded. One woman wee heard to say, "Poor little S dente„"referring to Vatlierib's daughter, who hail unavailingly appealed to President Ceerne to pardon her father. A punier, more or leis pronounced, was ebeorvable on the aeunteeiancea of all who witceeated the exeoutien. The silence that prevailed during Velllant's walk from the prison door to the guillotine was very re- markable, but this was probably due to the fact that the spectators were respectable working people, and not the riffraff that nmanly assembles to witness the putting of a felon to death.
