'Ordinary Seaman Mallaine who enlist- ed from Indianapolis, had charge of the New Hampshire's No. 2 steamer when it went to the doek to tow out the sale ing launch full of sailors on Saturday, To -day, after he had apppeered to give his testimony before the court of in- quiry on the Louisiana he stood by the eide of the after turret and told the story of the =Admit as he had witness- ed It. 'The first thing I felt was a jerk and looked from where I was standing•in the bow and saw several of the men in the sailing, launch stand up. Then I felt anotner Jerk and the whole bow of the sailing laundh just simply dove un- der. It did not go under slowly. It just jumped under and the water came back and swept every man into the river; that is, every man who did not jump first. HUNDRED MEN IN RIVER. • "All I saw in the light our lantern cast—and the river was very dark then —was just white dots all about in the water. They were men's faces, those white dots and there were yells and hollers about being drowned and not being able to swim. It made my. heart jump in my face to hear those yells. "Then I heard Mr. Chevalier yell, "stop." Settley shut off the steam in the engine. 'Back her' Mr. Chevalier called, but Settley did dare to back far, for he was afraid of cutting into the men who were swimming around in the water. He backed her a little while I was running aft. Mr. Chevalier was at the butts trying to cast off the tow- ing painter. I helped him and as soon as we got the slack we cast off. I could not see anything of the sailing cutter and she must. have .been filled to the gunwales. , "I saw Mr. Chevalier strip to his underclothes Aid go over the side. There were five or six poor devils right near the stern who yelled that they could not swim. I grabbed up the after life- buoy .and hove it out to them. end I saw them reach for it. Then I ran for- ward, ripping off my clothes as I ran and I picked up the forward life -buoy.. Three or four fellows were fighting in the water about ten feet away from the bow and when 1 east the forward life- buoy out to them it fell short and the tide started to carry it back to the Steam launch. MEN FIGHT FOR LIFE. "Seeing this, I jumped in' grabbed the lifebuoy and swam with itto the men. They were excited arid started to grab for me, but I fought them off and yell - eel to them to put on hand apiece on the buoy and paddle to the leunch. I went along with them, helping them some end the crew of the steam launch pulled them aboard. "Mime 1 climbed aboard the steamer against could see Mr. Chevalier's head bobbing about in a group of four others and he seemed to be helping off of thetn toward a steamer whieh had come from one of the ships—I think it was the Lou- isiana. .M1 the time he vsas yelling to others in the water to keep up and they would be saved. "Though there were some civilians' launches from the wharf out there by this time, the Water was still dotted with bobbing heads.

Ottawa, Oct .2. ----The time. for re- ceiving tendert; for the construction of the superstructure of the Quebec bridge expired at noon on Saturday, but in the absence of the Minister a Railways and his Deputy none of the Landers will be ozoned until to -mor. row, and no inionuation was given out as to the tenders received. The following firms submitted tenders The Dominion Bridge Company, of Montreal, the Canadian Bridge Com- pany, of Walkerville, the British Em- pire Bridge Company (representing the amalgamated interests of two Large British companies, with works at Darlington and Birmingham), and the Phoenixville, Pa., which had the original contract for the bridge. Each tenderer put up security for half a million dollars as a guarantee of fulfillment of the contract, and be- fore any tender is accepted the Gov- ernment will require ample security against any loss through failure to carry out the contract according to the requirement, of the Bridge Com- mission. The successful tenderer will not be known for some time yet, as the figures submitted will have to be carefully gone over by the com- mission to determine the total cost. The complete cost of the new struc- ture is estimated at about eleven mil- lion dollars. • 4.4e , NOT A LOVE -MATCH Mme. Cavalieri-Chanle,- Presents Cold Facts and Figures in Letter. Paris, Oct. 2.—Lina Cavalieri-Chan- ler has written a letter to a New York newspaper, protesting against the deductions made from tho ante- nuptial contract between her and her husband. She says: "I read in the newspapers a list of the innumerable benefits my few months' niarriage have bestowed on me. Allow me to restate matters in their true light. It is understood once for all that I did not make a love match, Mr. Chanler only suc- ceeded in inducing Inc to marry him by parading limitless love, support- ed, as was only natural, by sound guarantees for the future. Those guarantees ought not to be oxagger- ated any more than that love be de- preciated. "The Red Hook is are worth $12,000. There ut a $0,000 mort- gage on them. The house property is worth $300,000, but there is a $140,- 000 mortgage on it and the first Mrs. Chanler has a $100,000 interest in the property. The millionaire Am- erican's wedding gift, therefore, amounts to $60,000, not enough to buy a pearl necklace, which ought to have fignred in my wedding pres- ents, had he offered me one. "His -personal income is $60,000,of which he guaranteed me one third, not a tent more and that is all I insist on. These bookkeeping details, if they do not diminish by a single eigh Mr. Chtinler's violent love, at least decrease the sacks of gold and the lines of .skyserapers with which you have adorned my picture." 4 - TWO HUNDRED MEN FIGHT FIRE, Rockland, Mass., Oct.

Added interest was given their hoine-eoming by the presence of Earl and Countess Gtey eted the Vice - Regal staff. After aereenging the details regarding tittles and baggage, the officers went up to Dufferin Terme. where they were received by his Excellency and Countess Grey. After this informal reception the entire party drove to the wharf, where the soldiers were drawn up to re,ceive the Governor-General. IDS EXCELLENCY'S ADDRESS. OW. The Governor-General inspected the Q. O. R. when they debarked at Que- bec. His Excellency met and re- ceived the officers on the Terrace at 12.30, then drove to the dock and in. spected the regiment. Then he got into a. earring° in front of the regi- ment and made the following ad- dress: "I congratulate you, gentle. men, en the parts you have indive dually and collectively played in what appears to have struck the popular imagination as an inmost epoch-mak- ing move in the evolution of the Em- pire. We have read in Canada with pride the reports of the enthusiasm eveked in England by the smartness and efficiency of the Queen's Own Rifles, and more especially have we learned with loyal gratification of the Royal marks of approval and encour- egement the regiment received front our Sovereign His Majesty the King. The spontaneous publie-spirited action of the officers and men of tho Queen's Own Rifles in going to Eng- land in order that they might learn to raise the standard of their own efficiency and also that they might show. the people in the motherland how great is their desire and power to help has been regarded not only in Englend, but in Australia, South Africa and elsewhere, as a light on the moun- tain tops. I presage another bright and glorious day for tLa British Empire. "Colonel Sir Henry Pellatt, T con- gratulate you on the example you have given and the serviee you have rendered to Canada and the Crown." Continuing, His Excellency said: "For the information of Lady Grey I may say that -these uniforms have been worn for the pest .two months by day and often by night, sometimes lying in the dust of the road, and their appearance here to- day reflects great credit both on the men and their tailor.' START FOR MONTREAL. Cheers for his Excellency were given with a heartiness that showed the place he holds in their hearts. The men were then marched along the wharves to their waiting trains, and went on board with- out further delay. The first section pulled out, amid the cheers of the crowd, at 2.16, foiltexed a half-hour later by the secoud seetien. The men had dinner on board the boat, and on the train each inen was given it well-filled lunch box. They will leave Montreal at midnight by two special trains on the C. P. 11., and are due to arrive in Toronto about 5 o'clock Mospday afternoon, in time for the pre -arranged civic reception. It is the intention of the officers to have the trains stalled at a siding for several hours during the day; in order that the regiment may not arrive before the tiMe set for the reception. Toronto will be a welcome sight to her crack regiment the Queen's Own. THE VOYAGE. Heavy Storms Experienced—A Loving Cup for Lady Pollan. The home -coming of the Queen's Own 'Rifles of Canada has been fraught with mingled feelings. One and all, they were sorry to lease England, where they had for four weeks been treated so royally everywhere they went, both by their brothers -in -arms, the British army, and by people in all states of life. All are exceedingly glad to be home. They Were all sorry to come away leaving ten of their number behind suffering from ty- phoid. Their sorrow was intensified to deepest gloom on Friday morning when news of the death of Lieut. Roy N. Gzowski was conveyed to them by Itlar- t4higrani to Sir Henry Follett from Captain Benjamin in London. All were relieved be the news in the steno mos - sage that the other sick officers were progressing favorably. Out of respect for the memory of Lieut. Gzowski an order was issued that regimental mourn. ing would 1m worn for six weeks: In other respects as well their feelings have been mingled, varying ae the weather varied—end the weather lifts varien greatly.

But not hi peace Were they perniittedto do what preparation Was to be done. The 13uffs, tlie Irish Fusiliers, the Leicestote, and the Yorkshiremen, all of the Sixth Brigade, must come and say good.bye. Tho good-bye consist- ed not Merely of words, but of hearty handshakes and heartier cheers, and various regimental crests. There is hardly it man who has not been wear- ingthe insignia of some or all of these regiments. How many Queen's Own Rifles marle leaf crests are lefb in the hands of the regulars would be difficent to say. The Buffs' fife and drum band accompanied the Canadians on their march -to the station. The Duke of Con- naught nearly missed seeing them be- fore their .departure. Thinking that they would entrain at Wilton, a few mike otit of Salisbury, his Royal Highness motor- ed to that station. Finding that he Was mistaken, he immediately hastened to Dinton, just too late to see the depart- ure of the first section of the train. Fie remained chatting with those of the Queen's Own who were going by the second train until the train left, The Queen's Own have beconte quite ehttni- my with Prince Arthur. THE LAST OF OLD E.NGLAND. Of the journey to Liverpool there is little to say. It was by no micelle; a tedious journey, although it did occu- py the greater petit of the day. Those who could manage to. keep awake found plenty to occupy their attention, for the novelty of England had not yet worn off. Shortly after 5 o'clock they arrived at the Riverside Station, alongside the dock, where the steamer Canada was lying. They marched straight on board, making their way with difficulty through the crowd on the landing stage. In less than an hour from the time they went aboard. the Canada left her moorings in the Mersey, amid cheers and songs and the whistl- ing of boats in the harbon. The soldiers climbed into the rigging, and remain- ed there until the shores of England faded into the distance of night. Lord Mayor W. H. Williams, of Liverpool was at the stage in his caeriage of state and his bejewelled insignia of office to bid Sir Henry Pellatt and the Canadian Regiment good-bye, and to express regret at not having seen them on their arrival in England. THE KINGS MESSAGE. There were also inany telegrams of farewell greetings, the foremost among which was one from his Majesty King George, as follows: "Sir Henry Pellatt, einem, and non- commissioned officers and men of the Queen's Own Regiment of Canada: "The King wishes you all good and stile return to Canada, and hopesthat you will carry back many pleasant re- collections and practical experiences of your association with the troops of the mother country. His -Majesty trusts that those who have had the misfortune to be indisposed will soon be restored to health. A telegram from Lord Roberts read: "Good-bye to you all. Mybest wishes go with. you and the regiment. (Sign- ed) Roberts." Lieut. -Col. H. Fortesque of the Ring Edward Horse also sent good Wishes on behalf of his regiment. There was much amusement among all the regiment when every offieer and man was issued yesterday an im- migrant's landing ticket, with various .instructions in twelve languages.

GENII TRAGEDY Police Believe Lizzie Anderson Was Murdered by a Maniac. Department to Send Another Officer to Help Detective Greer. The Provinciel Police are determin- ed to leave no stone 'unturned towards solving the mystery of the murder of Lizzie Anderson, the girl whose body Was found, with throat cut from ear to ear, in the miler of an empty house near the Exhibition grounds at Geckle fele Inspector William Greer, who has been detailed Olt the case for the past week, returned to Toronto Saturday with cer- tain data and material for analysis, the character of which was not made pub- lic. He was iu conference with Superin- tendent J. E. Rogers for some time, fol- lowing which the Superintendent and Hon. S. J. Foy, the Attorney -General, held a lengthy consultation. When interviewed subsequently Sup- erintendent Rogers stated that the case was, in many respects, absolutely unique. The medical examination showed be. yond question that the girl had not been assaulted or outraged. "Inspector Greer's report shows," said he, "that the girl was struck outside the building where her body was found. She was dragged in over the grape vines at the entrance of the cellar, some of the grapes being crushed against her garments. But there was no blood outside, and the report shows that the cutting occur- red inside with a small knife and be- fore the clothing was removed. The clothing was heaped in a pool of blood, while the body was removed to another point, where little bleeding had taken place. An attempt was made to take the body from the cellar, from the fact that blood was found upon the steps, the Inspector's sup- position being that it was proposed to place the body in an old well nearby and destroy the clothes. "The crime looks like the work of it maniac," was the Superintendent's summing of the case. "The investiga. tion is by no means dropped. As a matter of fact we are on Monday des- patching another Inspector to assist Greer in following up lines suggested." The Superintendent declined to commit himself, but it is understood that important developments are an- ticipated when the inquest resumes on Wednesday.

Recent years have witnesed the in- troduction of strange "cures" to check the increasing disorders that hang about the fringes of these days of hus- tle.. There are "sun cures" and "dew mires." There ie even, one believes, a "stained-glass cure." To this list must now be added the novelty of a "flower cure." That, at least, is what is promised in the prospectus of a New York company, which undertakes to make flowers and their perfumes "a businesslike basis" for the treatment of modern complaints. Thus, neurasthenia is to be treated with baths of boiled roses, melancholia with douches of the essence of violets. It has often been remarked with perfect justice that the exotic "cure" is not for the peer man. And this testimony Appears to be am- ply borne out itt the ease of this partic- ular company. r•-• SMALL BREAD.
