Property where John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, kept his horse to flee from the capital after killing the president, will be sold by the war department at auction on November 4. The lot, consisting of 600 square feet In the rear of 913 E. Street, North west, and the building, originally a stable, have a tragic history. Booth rented It in January. 1863, because of Its location on the alley In the rear of Ford s Theatre, where he killed President Lincoln. The leasing o fthe building was part of the con splracy. Booth employed a carpenter to change the stable to embrace two stalls and provide the door with a lock. Another carpenter, having access to the theatre, was hired to provide bar for the outer door of the passage leading to tke president's box. Procuring a horse on the evening of April 14, 1&65, Booth concealed It In the stable, and after shooting the pre. sident, msde his escape through the .passageway, mounted the horse and fled the city, only to be captured sub sequently. CNR. EMPLOYEES FOUND HIS BAG frenchman Catrhe Ihut at Cherbourg by lljlni from Pari MONTREAL. Oct. 28. The activities of the Canadian National Railways and Its employees often extend to details remote from the railroad business and also their influence may be felt In the, far corners of the earth. For example, two French manufacturers Messlerus Auplc and Itlguet, starting on tour ot the Far East, arlrved at the Saint Lazare station In Paris yesterday only to find that Aupic had mislaid his bag containing one hundred thousand franca, his passport and his rail and ocean tickets. His partner went on to Cherberg to catch the Cunard steamship "Bererigaria" while the Paris representa-tlvea of the Canadian National accompanied Auplc In an anxious search fot ' the missing bag. The hunt lasted for three hours, after which the bag was discovered. Through the omrers of th Canadian National Railways, an aeroplane was chartered and passenger and bag duly arrived at Cherbourg, not only In time for the sailing of the "Beren-garla" but before the arrival of the Paris boat train, which left the city four hours ahead of the aeroplane.
