"Men and One | Woman "Held in} Toronto Jail 'A despatch from Toronto says: The prisoners, who were very With the arrest on Friday of sev- en men and one woman, the police believe they have broken up the headquarters of the Black Hand = 8ociety in Toronto, which for sev- eral months past has been keeping two-thirds of the Italian colony in the central part of the city in a state of terror. As a result of information gleaned by the police, following the surrender of Frank Griro on a charge of murdering Francesco Sei- aone, Sergeant of Detectives Alex. Mackie and the entire staff of de- tectives on Friday visited three res- tauran'ts conducted by Italians in York street, and placed under ar- rest fourteen people, and seized several dirks, letters and other articles. Of those brought to headquarters eight were detained, the remainder being given their freedom after giving satisfactory explanations for their presence in the places. After being examined those detained were taken to the jail. As soon as certain individuals in the Italian colony learned that « Griro was behind the bars they were not slow to enlighten the au- thorities upon some of the condi- tions under which the alleged Black Hand organization was being op- erated in Toronto. Fearing that some of the ringleaders might make their escape the police deemed it best to act promptly in the matter. Shortly after 2 o'clock the detec- tives visited 160 York street, a restaurant conducted by Joe Muse- lino, where they found seven men and two women; 165 York street, a fruit store, kept by Salvatori Sci- arone, a brother of the murdered man, where there were five mea, and 174 York street, a barber shop, conducted by James Rapola, who admitted selling the revolver to Griro, who fired the fatal shots. Rapola was the only occupant of the place. excited, whentaken to headquar- with the Black Hand organization information conveyed to the police, the headquarters of the organiza- tion in Toronto was 'located at Muselino's restaurant. A few days ago there arrived in Toronto a sec- ret service detective from Naples, who figured prominently in the famous Camorra trial now in pro- gress in Naples. He was walking along the street when he recogniz- ed two alleged Black Handers, who escaped from Naples following the commencement of the trial. As soon as they got a glimpse of him they boarded a street car and got away. This satisfied him. that they were here for the purpose of op- erating, and their description was immediately given to the authori- ties. Subsequently it was learned that places visited by the police in York street, but when the officers lined up the inmates in the different places the two much-sought indi- viduals were not among the num- ber. That the place kept by Muse- lino was used almost exclusively for those connected with the soci- ety as a meeting place the police feel certain. Muselino formerly kept a restaurant at 125 11th street, Niagara Falls, N.Y., which up till a few months ago was re- cognized as the headquarters of the Camorra Society in Canada. Following the circulation of some mysterious letters on the Niagara frontier, where a large number of Italians were engaged in construc- tion work in connection with the different power plants, Muselino was ordered to close the place and get out of the city. He came di- rect to Toronto, and opened the restaurant on York street, which, it is alleged, was used as a blind to cover up any operations in To- ronto and vicinity. MONTREAL CARS COLLIDE. Stuart Killed and Several Other Persons Injured. Wm. A despatch from Montreal says: Mr. William Stuart, a real estate agent, was killed and several peo- ple injured on Thursday evening, when a St. Catharine street car crashed into a crowded terminal car on the Bout de L'Isle line at the corner of Bt. Catharine street and La Salle avenue. The motor- man of the St. Catharine street car, Elzear Langlois, was badly cut ahout the head and arms, the front of his car being smashed in when it struck the rear of the ter- minal car. The rear platform of the terminal car, where Mr. Stuart bad been standing, was badly dam- aged. Langlois stated that the ac- cident was due to the failure of the air brakes on his car to work. There is a steep grade on St. Cath- arine street by La Salle avenue, and owing to the air brakes not working he was unable to check his car when he saw the terminal car attempting to cross ahead of him. nl STREAMS IN ROCKIES. --- Secretary of Conservation Commis- sion Will Investigate.

SET SICK WIFE'S BED ON FIRE Farmer Was Anxious to see If She Really Was Ill. A despatch from Ottawa says: Charles Dubois, a farmer from St. Pierre de Wakefield, was brought to the Hull jail by Baliff de Coeli, of Hull, on a warrant charging him with assault on his wife and members of his family. He is al- leged to have set fire to the bed on which his wife lay sick, just to ascertain if she was really ill or not.

A despatch from Montreal says: Fifty-seven men, comprising the entire contingent of first and sec- ond-class stewards on board the Allan Liner Victorian, were ars rested and driven to jail on the ar- rival of that vessel from Liverpool on Friday evening. Their arrest was due to the fact that they had refused to perform their duties at Rimouski and during the voyage up the river from that point. The en- tire fifty-seven were taken into cus- tody without: a blow "being struck and without any signs of trouble, and they seemed somewhat surpris- ed that the company should have called in shore law to settle the dif- ficulty. The trouble started when the vessel arrived at Rimouski on 'Friday morning and the stewards refused to assist in putting the mail ashore. This has been a grievance for some time, and was the cause of some liftle trouble last year, but since the spring, when the Allan Liners took to putting all the mail, except that for the Maritime Prov- inces, ashore at "Quebec, the amount handled at Rimouski has 'been so small as not to cause trouble ron ------ iii SENTENCED TO CHAIN GANG.

Desperate Street ) Fights 'Between Strikers and Police. ta, Jorpatel ftom Liverpool, Eng- nd, says: Serious rioting growing out of 'the strike which" 1s in pro- gress here occurred on Sunday af- ternoon. One policeman was kill- ed by being struck on the head with a brick, and many persons were injured. An altercation between a policeman and strikers during a transport workers' demonstration at St. George's Hall started - the trouble, which culminated in a general melee. After order had been restored and the strikers scat- tered, they gathered again in the Islington quarter and resumed their attacks upon the police and with serious results. One hundred thousand men were gathered jn groups about 8t. George's Hall lis- tening to speeches by labor leaders, and the attack upon a policeman ne- cegsitated the calling out of the pol- ice reserves.
