Mr. Norman Murray, of Montral, Would Accept Dr. Torrey's Apology if He Would Pay the Costs, But So Far Torrey Has Ignored Demand. Montreal, May 5.-A new and sensa- tional move has been made in the case of Mr. Norman Murray against Rev. Dr. Torrey, the celebrated evangelist. Not satisfied with Dr. Torrey's apology for the remarks he made in regard to him at St. James' Church, Mr. Murray has determined to sue the evangelist for alleged slander, and as a preliminary move he has taken out a seizure before Judgment, in consequence of which money coming to Dr. Torrey is tied up, and in addition the personal baggage of the evangelist is under seizure. On Saturday Mr. Arthur Beauchesne, of the firm of Beenchesne & Desjaadins, appeared in the Practice Court, where Justioe Mathieu was presiding, and pre- sented an affidavit by Mr. Norman Mur- ray. The following letter was sent to Dr. Torrey by Murray's solicitors: "We have been instructed by Mr. Nor- man Murray to demand complete retrac- tion of the slanders you uttered against hint in St James' Methodist Ohurch on Tuesday evening, when in answer to a question you said to him' David Was a better man than you, butthere is hope for you, even though you were arrested for selling obscene literature on the street.' "And. further referring to Mr. Murray you added: 'But as there Was pardon for David, there is pardon for me and my poor friend' yonder.' "Those libellous ateranees were pub. Hotted to -day in the newspapers of this city, being thereby Oren it very large circulation. You -went heyoeud the rights and prerogatives of a preacher in mak- ing•this personal attack on one of your auditors, and are within the provisions of our criminal and civil codes. Mr. Mur- ray requires a satisfactory reparation of these Blenders or else legal proceed- ings will be taken fig:aim-a you before you leave the city. (Signed) Beancheene & Desjardins." Mr. Murray tin an interview Was ask- ed: "Did not Mr. Torrey offer to pay your costs after he had made his apology in the church?' "Not an offer. I have heard nothing front him whatever. He has chosen to ignore me and my lawyers completely." Dr. Torrey closes his missial in the city to -day, and expected to leave to- morrow, but this unexpected turn of affairs will detain him here for some time. MILL BURNED DOWN.

Devlin, of Lake Shore Road, who was convicted under the Lord's Day Act of selling candies on Sunday, was argued em appeal before Judge Morson on Sat- urday. The appeal was fox the purpose of testing the scope of the act, and to establish to what extent restaurant keepers can legitimately supply their clients on Sunday. Inspector Archibald, who asslisted Mr. Johnston, argued that it was a breach of the law to all persons who dia not ooneume their purchase on the proud sea. Ili s Honor asked if it was intended to arm% that if a customer bought a Inidei from Mr. Devein, and, instead of eating it on the premises, had it put an a bag so that he could take 'it in- to High Park for the purpose of eat- ing it ‚there, it would be profaning the Sabbath. Mr, Johnston, who appeared for the city, did not seem anxious to commit himself. He merely contended that Devlin conducted two distinct business- es, that of selling candies, and that of supplying meals. his Honor, 'however, was persistent, and asked if he went in mid. bought some chocolates and consumed them in the house whether it would be an of- fence or not. Mr. Johnston replied that the illus- tration wasnot the ease, but on be- ing forced oulinittea that such an in- stance would not he a violation of the Act, "Then the distinction e,ent draw," said the judge, "is that 'if the timings bought are eaten on the premises the ilace is a resteetrant, but if taken hut it is a Shop." Mr. James Haverson, K. C., repre- stomi. - I "A. fine distinction," remarked Judge Morson. • "Yes," hesitatingly from Mr. John.

Remarkable Story Told of a Mining Conspiracy,. Within a week or two the whole Am- erican continent will be following with intense interest the story of what is supposed to have been one of the most remarkable conspiracies in civilized his- tory, a story covering seven years of crime and dealing with disasters and murders width at the time horrified whole communities. The culminating act in the eeries of startling crimes for which William D. Haywood, Secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, will .bc placed on -trial at Boise, Idaho, on May 0, occurred in the closing hours of 1005. On the night of December 30 of that year -Governor Steunenbarge of Idaho, was swinging open las garden gate on his return home from his office, when a mine exploded at Ids feet and he was blown to atoms, The motive for this diabolical act was not far to seek. For years the mieleg camps in the neighborhood had shown a disposition to take the law into their own halide. Feeling had run high be- tween the miners and mule owners, and dots had been of frequent -oeourrence. Ube beginning of the trouble dated back fifteen years to -an outbreak at the Coeur d'Aleries mines, at whit& time Governor Stetmenberg, in the absence of the Idaho militia, asked for Federal aid. The re- sult was that military rule of such a stringent character was 'established that the Governor gained the enmity of the Western Mimes' Federation and was ever afterwards a marked. man. Accordingly; after the tragedy of De- cember 30, 1005, those charged. with its inveetigation at once suspected the of ii. aids -of the Western Mamie' Federation of being implicated, rind inquiries result- ed in the arrest of Harry Orchard and Stephen Adams, two of its membere. in Orchard's room in the hotel at Caldwell were found a suspicions white powder and some letters, while in his trunk were discovered matelials for making bombs apher code ami letters from several Federation officials containing instruce Hoag and advice. It became apparent to the Pinkerton detectives, however, that without a confession the conviction of the perpetrators of the murder would be attended with great -difficulties., if not indeed. remkeed impossible, and accord- ingly Supt. McPartland sat about get. ting Orchard to talk. The story goes that 0-rehard was placed in solitary eon- finement with silent attendant& After a time lee was visited by McPartland, who sowed the aced of -distrust of his coo -federates in his mind, and then left him to ruminate. This process was re- peated once or twice and then Orchard was ready to confess. Ti is said that it took five days' steady writing . to take down his confession, which purported to give the entire his- tory of the activities of the "Inner Cir- cle" of the 'Western Federation of Miners, of ,which Orchard declared he had been the tool. According to his own state meat, he was the principal assassin in the pay of the Western Federation of Miners hired to get rid of objectionable persons. He had planned many times, Ii e admitted, to assassinate Governor Peabody, of Colorado, but had refrained from carrying out his fell purpose, be- cause, as he put it, "I was afraid of blowing up those Peabody girls." He also described. how he had deliberately foiled an attempt on the part of the Federation to destroy a whole trainload of innocent people. His version. was that in November, 1003, he was ordered by Secretary Haywood, of the Federia tion, to wreck a train conveying over 200 people from. Cripple Creek to Victor to attend a military ball. • The only motive ascribed was that the miners objected to martial law, which was in operation at the time, and that it was necessary to put the fear of God into the hearts of the people. The wreck, however, did not take place, Orchard, according to his own state- ment, not only refusing to carry out the orders of the Federation secretary, but actuall ywarning the conductor of the train. Another of Orchard's con- fessions was that he blew up the In- dependence railroad station, again at time instigation of Haywood, fourteen men being torn limb from limb, and six more crippled for life. He also gave an account of how he tried to "get" ;fridge Goddard. A bomb was buried just outside the judge's gate, and an attachment so fixed that the slightest attempt to open the gate would cause the bomb to explode. But Judge God- dard constantly failed to come when he was expected, and the "job" hand to stand over. Orchard's confession, along with that of Adams, led to the arrest of Charles IT. Moyer, President; William D. Hay- wood, Secretary, and George A. Potts - bone, committeeman, all members of the "Inner Circle," on blue charge of mur- dering Governor Steunenberg. Since their apprehension the State of Idaho has been in a ferment, amid what has added to the excitement is the fact that the prosecution of the three officials has been made a Tahoe issue throughout the United Staten. Meetings for the pur- pose of collecting money for the defence have been held in all the large cities, and there have even been attempts to represent the prosecution as persecutime against which the forces of Labor should. unite. On the whole, however, the de- sire in Tabor circles across the border is that justice should be done. At the trial, which begins on May 9, Haywood alone will be arraigned, but it is prob- able that his fate will decide that of the others impliettted. The trial is ex- pected to cost the State of Idaho $200,- 000, and it quarter of a million dollars bee been raised for the defence, which is said to be confident of its ability to disprove the eliarges set out in Oiehard's confession. It is fantod that since he uubosomed himself Orehard has weak- ened mentally, awl that Adams has re- traeted the confession he made, alleg- ing that it Was .0MaillPil front him by enervion end undue influence. The ex- pecintions are that the trial will be long and hard fought, and thnt. it will prove one of the most remarkable in the Ids - tory of western Ameriea. „.
