A. 'desnatch from Montreal says
The village of Upton, fifteen miles from
St. Hyacinthe, has been thrown into
great excitement, by the arrest of
Joseph L'Ileureuxe on a charge
Iof having attempted to murder his
step -son, Joseph Evangelista Rocque,
by setting fire to the boy's bed. While
L'Heureux 1,s held. only on this
charge; -there are at least five oth-
er crimes which it is alleged will in
all probability be traced home to him,
two of them being the most serious of
all offences against humanity, mur-
der. There is every reason to believe,
it is said, that he murdered. his first
two wives. Detective Haynes, man-
ager of .the Canadian .Seoret Service in
this city, has worked unceasingly for
many months in collecting evidence
which -would warraot L'Heureux's ar-
rest. The man had'not the slightest
warning as to his coming arrest, and
was as surprised as it is possible for a
matt .to be. When told that a war-
rant was issued for his arresteehe asked
the charge, and upon being told said
he supposed there was nothing to do
but go along. The most important
witnesses against him will be the bey
and his wife, „
LONG LIST OF ALLEGED CRIMES.
Joseph L'Heureux is a remarkable
man in many ways, particularly in that
1 he has for so many years successfully
, covered up the traces of what are "LOW
alleged to be the most serious crimes
in the calendar. Among the crimes- he
is alleged to have committed are:
- That he poisoned or wae in some
other manner responsible 'for the death
of his first wife, who died at Bidde-
ford, Maine, about twelve- years ago
under very suspicious circumstances.
That in December, 1894, he poisoned
or was in some other Manner respon-
sible -for the death of his seemed wife
at Upton village, in the district lit St.
Hyacinthe.
That in 1894 he burned his house and
a mill to the ground with. the object
of collecting the insurance money.
Thal in March, 1898, he set fire to
the bed of his step -son, who awoke be-.
fore the flames did inuele damage.
That in October, of the sem.e year, he
set fire to his dwelling on the lower
floor, and placing a rug saturated with
turpentine under his step -son's bed,
again attempted the boy's life, and
tried to burn his dwelling.
The question of exhuming the re-
mains of the second Mrs. L'Heureux is
now being considered by the Attorney -
General. Though hothing of the. body'
will be left except the bones, it is
thought that the poison, should poison
have been used, may yet be found.

AC '7.15 on Monday evening -deceased
who \Irak. very fond of taking long
walks, left the house mentioned, ac-
companied by a black coe.ker spaniel
dog, watch was a great favourite of
his. No cne saw him alive again. 'At
tsvo o'clock Tuesday morning Edward
Baines, a night watchman for a num-
ber of coal companies, noticed a dog
standiog near a hole in the ice at the
West Market slip. The animal was
howling dismally, and would ace. be,
:driven away. Baines concluded from
the dog's actichs that sOM3 one had
been drowned in the slip. He wentdin
search of the police, and found patrol
Sergeant Geddes and Constable Snyder.
The three returned to the slip, and
neax the hole in the. ice found a man's
fur -peaked cap. Later in the morning
this was identified as the property of
Prof. Macadam, and when the body
was found at the hour stated it was
elsqequickly identified. The body was
removed to the morgue, thence to the
house, on Mutual street. There was a
large cut back of the right ear, but
this, it is believed, was caused by the
body gratina, against the ice. Deceas-
ed's watch had stopped at 10.30. There
were some money and trinkets in his
pocket,
FROM CAPE TO CAIRO.
Cecti Rhodes lea, Secured $10,000 for the
Buhtnayo-Tanuatiyibat Section- Total
cost $47,000;0o.
A despatch from London, says :-Cecil
Rhodes' great scheme for a railway
through Africa fro,m. Cape Town to
Cairo is meeting with financial encour-
agement. The line from Buluwayo,
the terminus of the present Cape sys-
tem, to Khaxtoum, will be more than
3,000 miles long, and is estimated to
cost ee7,000,000. Mr. Rhodes has been
assured. of e10,000,000 for the section
from Buluwayo to Lake Tanganyika,
and the remainder can be secured
when the surveys from the Tangany-
ika to Khartoum are made.
It is said Germany will consent to
give a right of way through the strip,
of German territory north of the lake.
At Khartoum connection is to be made
with the Egyptian line, which the Sir-
dar has already built up the Nile as
far as the Atbara River.
Another transcontinental Railway
schema has been revived in India, to
give a eoute across Asia from north to
south. This would make Bombay and
Calcutta the outlets for Russian com-
merce in Asia, and enable travellers
from London to reach India in ten
days.
