Y.. by arrest today at the village of St. ller rr.engtlde de Graford, Just o* r the In? ternational line from New Hampshire, prepared In a cell in the county jail here tonight to fight against being sent back to tne United States. Thaw faces deportation on the ground that he is an undesirable alien and extradi? tion on a warrant charging him with bribery. The warrant already Issued in New York State on a charge of consplra*IJ will not suffice to extradite him. in the opinion of local authorities. These authorities received wor:'4 t ?night rViat the district attorney of Duchess coun? ty. In which Matteawan 1m located, was on bis way here prepared to swear to a warrant charging Thaw with brib? ery?an extraditable offence?If neces? sary. In his own defense Thaw claims he was merely parsing through Canada on bis way to Detroit when his pas sag* was interrupted by his arrest. He exhibited what he claimed to be trans Portation to Detroit in s ipport of this claim, and cited the case of Jack Johnson to bear out hiH contention that he can not be sent back to the United States by Canadian authorities so long as he simply was passing through the country and Intends to go beyond its bordera District Attorney Conner of Duchew county. N\ Y., it la . u ideratood here, wants Thaw ordered deoorte l and re? turned to the United Spates over that part of the International line touched by the State of New York. Thaw came Into t^e Dominion from New Hamp? shire, however, and If custom is fol? lowed, he would go Lack *o New Hampshire. The Canadian Immigration depart? ment at Ottawa wired the chief of police here this afternoon to hold Thaw under the Immigration act, In? dicating that steps would be taken to deport him. This theory was made almost a certainty by the informa? tion that the department had sent two inspectors to Sherbrooke with instruc? tions to watch the case and institute proceedings to deport Thaw. At Coaticook, where he was lodged in the lockup Immediately after his arrest, Thaw engaged a local lawyer. He was arraigned before Mr. Dupuis, justice of the peace. The justice read to him, an Indictment charging him with having unlawfully escaped from MatteaWan and without permitting a plea remanded him to jail at Sher? brooke for s hearing tomorrow.

Bhorbooke, Quebec, Aug. 20.?Har? ry K. Thaw Will be across tho Amerl can border in the Stute of Vermont by tomorrow night if tomorow's eventa in tho east of tho fugitive from Matteawan shape themselves as Cana dian officials in close touch with tho proceedings anticipate. This was the scmi-otthdal intimation here tonight as Thaw awaits a hearing on a habeas Oorptll writ his counsel procured to? day. It is not denied that official opinion inclines to the belief that the habeas corpus proceedings will re? sult in Thaw being declared a tree man. What will 'ollow, the plans of the immigration a ithoritios indicate, lies in the hands of Inspectors D. H. Reynolds and F. E. Whitland of Ot? tawa. These two officials, immediate? ly Thaw is released hy the court, it is understood will take him Into cus? tody as an undesirable under the im? migration act and rush the fugitive to Coaticook. At the immigration otlicc the for? mal deportation proceedings will he conducted in the form of an official inquiry into the manner of Thaw's entrance into the country, and his past history, which it is held debars him from remaining in Canada. These formalities ended he will be taken on board a Grand Trunk train and con? veyed to the border, where Messrs. Reynolds and Whitlands will hand him over to tho American authorities. The point Of deportation indicated will he Island Pond, Vt., the nearest border station on the Grand Trunk, about 20 miles south of Coaticook. "The through ticket" to Detroit on which Thaw, it is understood, hopes to evade tho immigration authorities and continue his journey through Quebec and Ontario to the State of Michigan, will not servo that purpose, if the information of the immigration officials is correct. DOCTOR Kil l I D PATIFNT. While Insane He Performed Vivi? section on Aged Man. Marietta. Ohio, Aug. 20.?Dr. Wil? liam It. Dabney, of Marietta, Ohio, was today committed to Longview Asylum, as insane. Not until the crazed surgeon had undertaken to perform vivisection up? on a patient was It realized hy tho at? tendants in the operating room that madness was directing the arm and scalpel as it sought to uncover vital organs. Dr. Dabney entered practice in Marietta about 15 years ago. He made a specialty of eye, ear and throat op? erations. Tt Aas the death on the operating table of an aged and wealthy farm? er, Jacob f. Behead, that brought Dr. Dabney'l c areer to a climax. Schaad had a tumorous growth on his upper jaw. Resides Dr. Dabney and the nurse, there were present when Schaad laps? ed into unsciousness under the in tluence of an anaesthetic, Dr. C. R. Hallard and Dr. J. R. Penrose. As Dr. Dabney proceeded with the knife the two surgeons detected that there? was something wrong and both began to remonstrate. Dr. Dabney became angry and orde red them from the op ? rating room. When the- two doctors had loft, ac? cording to the story of the nurse who had remained bending beside the un consclous patient, Dr. Dabney began to dissect the face- and throat of the unconscious Sc haad. Both sides of the face were laid open, and deep in? cisions made in the throat, but tin skill cd' the mad suregon was shown In the dexterity with which he avoided Indicting a fatal WOUnd on his living subject. How far the erased surgeon would have proceeded with the dissection cannot be told, for the horrified nurse ran shrieking that Dr. Dabney was killing his patient Her cries brought Drs.

BANK Will NOT LEND MONEY IN INSTALLMENTS, state Tronsunu? Regards Himself Hound to Borrow Only as Need Arises. Columbia, Aug. 20.?Pope Mat** thews, cashier of the Palmetto Nat? ional Hank of Columbia, explained in writing yesterday to the governor and the State treasurer, that his propo? sition ed rece nt date, to lend the State $:!00,??00?to be used in paying cur? rent expense's until tax collections should begin to come in, at tho e nd , Of the year?did not contemplate the | lending of the money in six install? ments of $50,000 each, but called, in Stead, for the lending of the whole sum immediately. His original pro? posal, as thus explained, Mr. Mat? thews renewed. It has ne>t as yet been taken up. S. T. Carter, State ' treasurer, regards himself as hound, j by resolution of the sinking fund commission, to borrow the money ' only* In installments e?f $50,000, as it may he needed; whereas, the hank's demand, as yesterday expounded by Mr. .Matthews, is in substance that all of the six nedes, each e>f $50,000, on which the loan is to be made, shall he delivered to the bank at once, in? terest em them to commence with the date of such delivery.

A reader savs it is stated in the i I Progressive Farmer that It la a 'mis? take to plow under lime for alfalfa," while In another paper a man recog , nized as an authority says: "If tIn? land needs lime plow it under." The term "plow" is rather Indefi? nite, and may mean putting lime into the ground at any depth from thr* e to eight Inches, it may also be stated that when a large quantity is applied, .siu-h as Is frequently done in prepar? ing for alfalfa, it may be mixed with the soil to a greater depth than when a small quantity is applied. Indeed, i for a deep-rooted plant like alfalfa, it' is entirely possible that it will be an advantage to put the lime deeper, or at east to mix it with the top soil to a greater depth, than In ordinary ap? plications But aa a general rule, we think, it is pretty well established that the best plan is to disk tho lime into the top three m- lour inches of soil. ?
