Then he drew the razor across his throat \ and iell beiors Morgan’s very eyes The latter was too horror stricken to give an alarm and sat looking at the apparently dying man until the warden mine. Car- penter had in the meantime become nn« conscious and has not yet boen revived. An examination oi his wound shows that none of the arteries has been severed, but he lost so much blood that his recovery is doubtlul. The razor is thought to have been smug- gled into the jail by some at Morgan's iriends.

Hm Than One Hundred and “(teen Por- sana Reported Drowned. Ernest. Franco. April flit—The list of the fatalities caused by the breaking oi the great liouzcy «like in the Epinal dis- trict oi the Vosgos increases every hour. One hundred and iiiteen amen have al- ready been rormrtml, but only 50 bodies have been recovered. It is believed that the death list will be greatly in excess of the figures above given when all the dis- tricts devastated are heard from. lt is supposed that many oi the dead were swept into isolated places, where it will be along time below the bodies are found. The whole region over which the then- sands oi tons of water swept in a resisto loss Ilood is strewn with every sort oi wreckage. and the whole country presents amost desolate Inlet.

Chaplain Planar oi the Maine State Prison, who is evidently a man of catho- lic literary tastes ands true friend 01 genius, has discovcrvd in Fred Irving. pretentious to tame. irvlngmho is serving a term oi twenty five years ior burglary, rnolds his poetic thoughts in the shape at sonnets which he writes in the hours oi recreation ai- lowsd him by the prison rules. His style is fluent, racy and picturesque. and many or; author who has won the public car w ll envy him his facility oi rhyme and meter. Irving, who has masqueraded under other names while pursuing his career at crime, placed in the hands oi Chaplain I’lumcr the other day a manuscript of sonnets, the penmauship of which would have been creditable to a writing master. The Chaplain discerned their merit at once. but he also saw that he must play the censor it they ware to see the light, ior Irving had abused the license permit- ted to poets in a manner oiicnsive to chaste minds and shocking to cars polite. But alter the work of expat-gallon had been done runny passages had been left to challenge the attention oi critical minds. Irving is nothing if not during. and he oiten repels by the brutality with which . he sings of his chosen profession. ior burglary is his business and poetry is merely a pastime which he takes up when he is a guest oi the State. At such times he holds with the Elizabethan poet that "stone walls do not a prison make." But in the very grimness oi alltlsiou in which Irving sometime indulges there is a strength as oi New England granite, which extorts admiration. Occasionally the burglar poet wenries oi base themes and then he attuues his harmonies to subjects at enchanting lyric swatncss of religious fervor and the strains that ioliow are as rolling, deep, and impressive as the melodious thuudcrs oi an organ with all the stops pulled out. In order to insure him a respectful hear- ing he should therefore be introduced by such an emotional flight oi rupture as his “Easter," which iuilows: Sing. 0 my soul: the tiwnw r-xultnut sins.
