Rev, G. L, Mackay Passes Away.
E. FORAAIMA MISSIONARY !ME1t0.
A cablegram to Rev. Dr. Warden, Tor-
onto, annonnoed the death of Rev. Dr. G.
L. Mackay, of Formosa, the world-famous
missionary of the Canadian Presbyterian
Ohnroh. The death of Dr. Mackay re-
moves one of the foremost figures in mis-
sionary effort in modern times, and causes
s breach in the workers of the church
which it will be hard to fill. His name
has been for 80 years linked with that of
Formosa, for it was in 1871 that he first
went to that island, then a portion of
China, and from which he has since re-
turned on but two short visits. During
all that time he has thrown the effort of
a splendid manager and the religious zeal
of an apostle into a work whioh has made
his name femme throughout the civilized
world.
The cablegram, which oame to Dr.
Warden, read simply ;—"Dr. Mackay is
dead." He had been suffering for the
past five months from oaater of the throat
and for 5 or 6 weeks it has been known to
his intimate friends that recovery was
impossible. Two months ago he Bought

time he has had with him Dr. William

CONSTABLE SHOT DEAD,
Was Guarding Three Prisoners at Tor-
onto en Route to JIM.
A tragedy, without parallel in the
police moles, took plane at six o'clock
Tuesday night ab the corner of Gerrard
and Sumach streets, Toronto, by which a
police constable guarding three men en
route to the jail was murdered under
oironmabances suggestive rather of Texas
than Ontario.
The trial of Rice, Rutledge and Jones,
the three alleged bank burglars, on a
charge of robbing the post office at Aurora
is proceeding at the assizes. Titers has
been very great interest shown in it, and
quite a few speotators unknown to the
police as citizens of Toronto have sought
admission from day to day, and rumors
of an attempt at rescue led to the ex-
clusion of the public on Tuesday.
When the hearing was over, the Crown
case was almost completed, and it was
stated that the trial would be over on
Wednesday. This news seems to have
nerved the friends of the prisoners to
attempt a resooe under remarkable oir-
onmatanoee. When the court rose the
prisoners were put in a haok, with Oouaty
Constable Boyd and Constable Stewart,
while County Constable Lyman Bogart
eat upon the seat of the back with Driver
George Highley. The utmost precautions
were taken to prevenb the escape of the
men, Two of them were shackled to.
gether, and all wore securely handcuffed.
There is a rather steep inline near the
bridge leading to the fail, and at the
beginning of this, near the corner of
Gerrard and Sumach streets, a stranger
approached the haok and threw a parcel
through the open window into the laps of
the prisoners, Instantly the two free
hands belonging to Rios and Rutledge
dived into the parcel, which proved to be
a ebiff hat, wraped in a newspaper, and
when their hands were withdrawn they
each held it long-berrelled revolver. Ira.
mediately the men began to fire, and the
police drew their weapons and replied.
Boyd, at the first volley, was shot in
the head by Rios, the bullet entering bis
head and passing through the brain. He
died an hour after.
The guns were tanned upon Stewart,
who, with presence of mind, threw np
hie herds and, feigning fear, told the
prisoners to get out. As they left the oab
Stewart drew his revolver and fired,
shattering the left forearm of Janes, who
was the middle prisoner, and also hit him
in the groin, but the latter ran on, and
the penmen, boarding a passing street
oar beskte the motorman, ordered him to
go on. They were still abaokled, but the
smoking revolvers in their hands might
well have intimidated the oar crew and
the passengers. Instead of going on the
brakeman tool[ his brake handle off and
struck at the men, and the conductor took
the trolley off, stopping the oar,
Constable Btowarb oame up with the
hackman, and after a desperate fight' the
prisoners wore recaptured and removed
to jail Jones' wound is serious but not
dangerous.
A man named Win. Hyde who keeps a
fruit More on the oornor, when the strang-
er threw the revolvers into the haok, gave
chase, but as it was just after six o'clock,
and many people wore around, the men
got away in the crowd. The pollee are
scouring the city for him tonight, end
have a good deeoripbiou.
Ilia, Rutledge and nag etre believed
to be among the most daring professional
burglars in Amerias. The crimes for
whit% they were arrsebed a year ago were
of a peculiarly bold desoniption, one of
them being lbs tying up of e, policeman in
Paritpals, within a abort distance of the
polioesbabion, an a preliminary to entering
the Standard Branolt Bank there. They
were disturbed before they got the oafs
blown open. They are also charged with

ceediug. The men seem to havepowerfal
friends, with plenty of money. They
fought extradition iu Chicago for almost
a year, and were visited at the jail there
by well dressed young woman, two of
whom, known to the polios—one as Viva
and the other ao Mme. Rutledge -.-followed
them to theoity, and have been spectators
at the trial They will be looked up, and
an attempt made to disoover whether they
had any connection with Tuesday's
tragedy.
