Almost the last day of the first session of the twelith parliament of Canada was enlivened, no: to say electrified, by the utter- ance of ¥. B. Carvel), of Carleton, N.B., from his place in the house, of charges of the most sweeping and serious nature against the personal and political honor of Hon. A. B Morine, chairman of the public service commission. Sr. Carvell, went at length into Mr. Morine's political career in New- foungdland, stating that the latter had been twice dismissed from the premiership of that colony. The gravest charge against him, according to Mr. Carvell's statement, was that handed over vast ebncessions too R. G. Reid, a well-known railway mag- nate. Mr. Morine had beep in receipt of a salary as legal adviser to Mr. Reid, a position which he continued to hold even when he assuted Gov- ernor McUallum that henceforth he had no connection with that gentle men. Premier Borden was plainly surpris- od at the charges made by Mr. Car: vell. He promised government con- wideration of them. He said that three years ago certain charges were made against Mr. Morine, by a resi dent. of the United States, whose name the premier does not recall, who wrote "confidentinl" letters and who refused to allow Mr. Borden to lay the matter before Mr. Morine, Nr. Morine later issued a general denial of all charges of wrongdoing. Any- thing that be justified on investigation. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Pulls the Strings" Was Greatly Enjoyed. Every available seat in the Grand was filled lust evening for 'Bunty Pulls! the Strings," a Scotch: comedy in three acts, played by a company of old country people. Peal life in the highlands fifty vears age was port rayed by this play, which whe full ol human interest. As in the 'Bonnie Briar Bush," the "unco' cuid Sabba tarian" was there with hoth feet, and it was upon the ways of this self-vigh- teous Scot, who boiled with 'indigna tion when his son Rab, "whustled"' on the Ssl\ath day, that some enjdyable satirs was evolved. The piece is fun ny from beginning to end, and whole sOmMe. Everything about the production. is thoroughly Scotch<-the Scoteh of + the old days. The compauy is an excel lent ove from Miss Mollie Mchntyre as "Bunty" down to the shepherd's dog Miss Mcintyre played hor 'role delight fully. William Levwox | as "'Wellum," looked the part of the lovelormn and rather sanctimonious loon to perfec: tion, Neil McNeil made a anus "Rab." ' The settings were very beputilyl, and sted of the parlor in the Scotch house and the kivkvard. To-night "David Garrick." The comedy, "David Garrick," is written around an aétual experience of thiz once famous actor, which hap- pened in London, during his famous run in "Hamlet," with a society belle who had fallen in love with him. The play places the actor in such a posi tion that he must act both comedy and (ragedy, a task which has tried the abilities of some of our most fam- ous actors. Clifford Mallory seems one of the few who las made a suc cess of this Very trying character. He will be ween at the Grand to-night. Princess Iris.

Heis about forty years of age. 'IHis is ihe second time hie has escaped from the ingpue ward of this prison, by exactly the same methods.

Joseph Chratrand escaped from the penitentiary on May 7th, 1906, aud was caught at Yonge Mills Bridge, twenty-three miles the other side of Gananoque, by Wilbert, J. Mallory, county constable of "Mallorytown. Scarcely a week from the actual time of his escape from the penitentiary, he was returned to the hands of jus- tice, The story of the capture is as simple as the catching of a Timawhy child, from the home backyard. He was pictured as a vicious man, but was a lion tamed to lamb-like tender- ries-when Brought to bay. 7A' strange man, answering the de- scription of the escaped convict, call- od at the home of Mr: and Mrs. Davis, living three miles below Mal lorytown, and asked for something to eat. His strange demeanor caused attention' and County Constable Mal. lory was at omoe notified. But' ¢he stranger finished his lunch, and de parted, before thé county constable arrived on 'the scene. But .the county constable took up the "trail," and followed for two or three miles, A man answering the description: of the ted at the home of Benjemin Eyres. As Constable Mallory drove up be was talking to Mr. Eyres. Going up to the stranger, Constable Mallory said : 'I guess you are the man I want." Chartrand pleaded ignorance of everything, but made no attempt to. escape, Acting quickly . Constable Mallory lifted the trouser leg of the man and immediately recognized the birth mark on the leg of which he had 'read a 'description of in the Brit ish Whig. The constable then pulled out his handeuffis and snapped them on him and he was soon back in his cell at the penitentiary. Condemned {o Die. Chartrand was given a' lile sentence at Sault Ste. Marie for shooting a de. tective, who sought to arrest him for some minor offence. "He wus seatene «d to. be hanged, but on the evidence: of 'doctors, who reported. that he was insane, he was given life imprisonment After the shooting Chartrand was pursued for two weeks, and was found in the woods, eating the remains of « dead vabhit..
