MONCTON, Aug. 11-The disap- pearance on the morning he was to he wedded has placed the fiancee and relatives of Albert Melanson, of this city, in ‘a state of grave anxiety. lt appears that on Tuesday morning :iboiit six o’clock Mr. Melanson left his boarding house at VI. Sawyer’s, Lower Main Street, to go to the liv- cry stable for a team. The ceremony was to take place in St. Bernard'i i‘hurch at seven u’clock. Since hi left the boarding house no tidings of his whereabouts can he ascertained. notwithstanding the diligent search which has been made by his brother Andrew Mclanson, Telegraph Street thc police and his friends. As ii nf tural sequence of such a disappear. nnce the fiancee, Miss Minnie Goguen, l.uwe1\-4_S¢6Ai_¢tl\~_$Sf:r_qt,_ is. very much distressed, a ls.flrmly of tli. opinion that something serious ,hai happened to him. While this is noi_ impossible, yet- it is thought that h~ ' might have left town in order. ti iivoid the marriage. But if this was the case his friends think he would lmve taken with him the new suii hc purchased specially for the wed- ding. As it was, he only took thi, trousers, leaving tho rest of the suii behind. Monday night he, with Miss Gogucn, called on the latter's siste. on Lutz Street, and then everything seemed all right. _ Mr. Melanson, brother of the miss- ing man, docs not know what to make of it, but says that they will search for him until he is found. He has communicated by telephone with Shediac, Cocagne and Hillsboro, but can elicit no information as to his whereabouts. If an accident had not occurred Mr. Melanson believes that he might be in Hillsboro, as his brother was formerly employed ,in the quarries of that place. The missing man was employed by' irhe Paul Lea Co., Ltd. He is about -\ feet 7 inches in height, thick set :ind clean shaven. When last seen hc had om a black,pair of trousers, blue coat and hard hat. l‘lAf`fL PERCY WILL TAKE OTTAWA POST.

MONTREAL, August 1 One and perhaps three lives was ad2|§d to the already long _list of drown nge in Toronto Bay, when the yacht Dir- ectoire with twelve persons was run _down about 150 feet from the wliarl lat Central Island by the Toronto f0l’Y'Yboat, Mayflower. . | Th-u yacht had just left for a sail on 'the bay. The occupants saw _the ferry. which was entering the slip and at- tempted to clear it but the tiliicr re- fused to answer and before the small boat could get out of the way it was rammed and the twelve occupants were thrown into the water. The screams of the woman and shouts of the men attracted thel at- tention of persons sailing about in a gasolene launch and other craft and they promptly came to therescue. niiiii mil ii iiiii inusi A fine house greeted Daniel Ryan and Company last evening in their presentation of the Black Fox. Char- lottetown theatre-goerir had vivid and .pleasing memories of former visits of _Mr. Ryan and his excellent company and were eager to see and hear them again, the more especially as the play is one written by Mr. Ryan himself. The plot is laid in Quebec Province among the French Canadian peoplel _who combine farming and hunting as a means of livelihood. Joe Laplante (Mr. Ryan) is -the head of the house. With him lives his father grandperc Leplante, (Geo. Fisher) and his dau- ghter, Virginie (Miss Harriet Duke)._, Into this peaceful and happy house- hold comes Alex. Devanne of New York, (W. G. Shelly) _who has been hunting in the Quebec woods and overtaken by night, is hospitably en- tertained by the habitant.. 'Napoleon Dore, a .habitant youth (F. R. Prosser) is in lovewith Vir- ginia, who is satisfied of his sincere devotion but does not reciprocate his affection. Napoleon is suspicious of the ,American, who fascinates Vir- ginia, and cntices her to fly with him to New York. Napoleon in en- deavoring to prevent the clopemcnt struggles with Devanne, is stunned to insensibility by a blow from ta bottle and left for dead. To his des- :ilated home Joe Laplante returns, learns the facts and in a forceful scene vows his revenge. Then twenty years elapse and a son of the vil- lain from _New York, and his per- fect copy in appearance, comes to the Laplante cabin, and Joe prepares to bake his revenge, believing he has :he seducer of his daughter before ilm. A dramatic scene ensues in' which the mystery is cleared. ' It is a thrilling domestic drama n which the five persons in the cast lo some superb acting.

The principals were accorded /ery hearty applause and the curtain vas rung up again and again. Mr. .lynn and his company will always -receive a warm welcome in Charlot- tetown when thcy return hereafter, and all will hope their next visit may he much longer. J. R. B()O'l’H'S GENEROUS ACT. QUEBEC, Aiig.l1-True, he can afford it, but there are few even among millionaires who would act as no`bly and ns ,generously towards their employees as, J.R. Booth, the great lumber man and mill owner of Ottawa, has just acted towards his. In consequence of the Grand Trunk strike and the impossibility of get- ting the sawn lu ber moved away by rail, his mills at the Federal capital were obliged to close and thc mill hands, who are mostly Frcnch-Cnna- dians, were thrown out of employ- ment for several weeks, if not more. On 'Thursday last, Mr. Booth called them all together and, to their in- tense delight, paid them their full wages for thc period diirlng which they had not worked, through no fault of their own. In thc little speech which hc made to them in re- plying to their thanks alter they had been paid, Mr. Booth said among other things: “I thought, gentlemen, that 1 could stand .thc loss better than you could. _ "I was sorry for you, but simply| hcing sorry for you would not'have bought you bread and butter. "Therefore, I was sorry for you to thc, extent of $12,000." More power to Mr. Booth. Such men are nn honor ns well as a bene- fit to their country. \.__,____ _ __________________.__________Y______.,.___Y.V_ Eifiiti LENEVE i ‘ ' . uuusuu _ mmmu BOSTON, Aug. If-How thrcc_ in- mates of thc state prison at Lhnr- lestown were able to construct a counterfeiting outfit and manufacture spurious hail dollars has been dis- c vered by secret service officers. ENN/er since July 21, when the state prison officials discovered that coun- terfeit hall' dollars were in circula- tion in the prison and that some had got outside, an investigation has been in progress. At that time it 'became known that Patrick Hanley, of Lynn, who is serving a twenty- five yeai- sentence as an habitual criminal, was involved. Tonight it was announced at _the office of the United States district- attorney that two other prisoners, whose names ,were withheld, had been, found to be accomplices of Hanley, and that the cases of all three would be presented to the federal grand jury next fall. All three men have three or four years of their present sentences -to serve. The method of the counterfeiters was ingenious. They picked up scraps of tin and lead about the prison and in'some manner secured s jeweler's crucible and some plaster of paris. One of the trio has a knowledge of electricity and it was he who devised the means of melting tin and lead. I-Ie cut in on the electric light wires in Hanley's cell, attached two pieces of carbon and placed them on a small sheet of iron covered with fire- proof cement. On the white- hot car- bon tlis cruciblc was placed, the met- al was melted and the coins were manufactured in a plaster of paris mould. lt is suspected that there was an accomplice outside the jail who as- sisted in the distributionof the coins and the supplying of material for their manufacture.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11-Mayor Gay- noi;, who was shot and dangerously wounded by James G. Gallagher, a discharged city employee, on Tues- day as he was about to embark on a trip to Europe, may be making the satisfactory progress that his attend- ing physicians persistently maintain, but there is 'an under-current of doubtful anxiety that this is contra- ry to the official bulletins. The X-ray examination showed that ter it entered the head just below the right ear, one section apparently lying in the floor of the mouth near the left wing of the jawbone, while the other ,remained near the entrance point of the wound behind the ear. Gallagher is carefully guarded in his cell in the Hoboken jail to pre- vent him from making any possible attempt at self-destruction. Gallagh- cr shows no remorse for his attempt on the life of the Mayoi. BANK MEN MUST STAND TRIAL. LINDSAY, August 10--Magistrate Alcx. Jackson this morning decided that evidence in the case of the Farmers Bank of Canada against Messrs. A. B. McGill, J. J. Fleury and J. L. Coulter, was sufficient to warrant him sending the accus->d up for trial. It will be remembered that McGill, manager of the new branch of the Home Bank, was former man- ager of the Farmers Bank here and Messrs Fleury and Coulter were also employees of the bank here, and at Nestleton. The charge w t they c`onspfl'ed`agalnst`tKé"‘l" ers Bank tried to injure its standing and suc- ceeded in -having deposits amounting to about $40,000 transferred to fthe Home Bank. In delivering his decis- ion Magistrate Jackson said that he sympathized with Fleury and Coiil- tcr, who were evidently lead by a stronger mind, but he could not un- derstand the actions of McGill. Mag- istrate Jackson -absolutely refused _to give any statement, simply saying that McGill's conduct was inexpli- cable and the evidence savored of conspiracy against the Farmers Bank.

He is cheerful, strong- cr and is now resting quietly. "The complete radiographic exam- ination by Dr. C.
