Spicer estimates the value of the gift at 85,000. EXCITING SCENE iX A MENAGERIE. On Tuesday an exciting scene occurred at Bone in Algeria at the Aquarium a sort of itinerant menagerie. The special feature of the Aquarium consisted in a collection of no fewer than seventy crocodiles, which were fed publicly at stated hours by" the manager, M. Pcr-nolet.

He always wore a pair of Wellington boots, and had a stick with which to beat off the reptiles when they became ravenous and attempted to snap the food out of Ids hands. On this occasion he was sitting on the back of his largest crocodile, and kept feeding the rest for about ten minutes, when all at once, as he turned his head and put out his liand to the attendant for a piece of meat, one of the others crawled up to him and hit him in the stomach. A shout was raised bv 1 the spectators, and those around the tank tried to beat away the crocodile, who, notw ithstanding M. Perno-let's blows, began whirling round his prey as if to tear him to pieces. Unfortunately in struggling, M.

Per-nolet slipped and fell in the very midst of the reptiles, which all rushed on him with fury. A panic took place among the spectators, who mostlv llud. Nevertheless M. Pernolet was rescued. Although his wounds are serious, his life is not thought in danger.

THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE. The annual meetings of the United Kingdom Alliance- were held on Tuesday Manchester. In the forenoon the General Council met in the Friends' Meeting House, Mount-street. Sir Wilfrid Lawson, who presided, said the present year was the most interesting, exciting, and successful year that the Alliance liad ever had. It had not be'en all success.

One thing was that they had not yet got the power of the people to veto the issue of licenses, which was what they were striving for, and which they should not be satisfied until they got. With regain to the Local Government Bill, the Government had thought they would square everybody, the publicans equally with the temperance party, but they had not succeeded. It was the duty of a statesman to humbug both parties, and get a benefit for himself out fit. (Liughter.) Lord Salisbury, in 1885, had expressed himself in favour of local bodies having the- power of refusing licenses, but that there should he compensation to those who might lose their licenses. The abandonment of the licensing clauses he (Sir Wilfrid) regarded as the most magnificent victory ever achieved; for the present Government was probably the strongest of modern times.

On this question it had been supported by the licensed victuallers to a man; but there had been the nation against them, and the result had done a great deal of good. It had organised and consolidated the temperance forces of the country as it had never done before. They would get the loi-al veto when they got united. (Applause.) The annual report was taken as read. The balance sheet showed receipts, with cash in hand at the commencement of the year, 13,170 13s.

the expenditure leaving a balance due to the treasurer of 19.5 4s. 9d. The report was adopted unanimously. The presidents and vice-presidents were re-elected, with the addition of the name of Dr. Ix-es.

The business of the council was then proceeded with, and anungst the resolutions adopted was one deploring tin- action of the Government in transferring to Councils the fees for licences. No licensing power, it was urged; should have a direct pecuniary interest in the granting of licenses. Another resolution, over which there was a little discussion, sought to pledge electors to vote only for Parliamentary candidates who were in favour of the direct veto." The discussion arose on an amendment, which was lost, to include candidates in favour of Sunday closing. The increasing consumption of ardent spirits in British India was viewed ith alarm" in a subsequent resolution. This was attributed to the establishment by the Government for revenue purposes of spirit distilleries and liquor shops in many places in defiance of the protests of the inhabitants.

Sill WILLIAM HAKt'U HT 0 LOCAL OPTION. The annual public meeting was held in the evening, at the Free Trade Hull which was filled in every part. The meeting was presided over by Sir VV. Harcourt, M.P., who was loudly cheered on taking the chair. The hon.

gentleman after referring to the evils of intemperance evils which, he said, had come prominently before him as Home Secretary, he avowed himself a supporter of the principle of local option. The strength of the temperance cause, he said, had in-creiised with successive extensions of political power. The strength of the movement came from below. On this question it was the masses wdio had converted the classes. There were temperance reformers who would prefer universal compulsory prohibition, but in matters of that kind he thought it wise to proceed slowly and safely.

If they attempted too much they would risk all. If they were to impose prohibition upon localities to which it was repugnant, they might produce a dangerous and mischievous reaction. Alluding to the question of compensation, Sir William said that a more extraordinary, a more unjustifiable, and a more mischievous blunder never was made than that which was made by the Government. The compensation clauses inspired hopes, expectations, and claims which were never thought of before, and difficulties were created in the settlement of the question which never ought to have been raised. He gathered from recent local decisions, accepted apparently even by the trade itself, that the idea of a Vested right had been given up.

The country had escaped a great risk. If the claim had been maintained, it would have involved the expenditure of at the very least 200,000.000. He believed no more would be heard of the vested interest doctrine. It was perfectly plain and beyond dispute that the magistrates could refuse to renew licenses on any grounds they thought sufficient as they did in the Over Darwi case. From that he argued that it was intolerable the community should not he placed in a position to do thr- same thing.

He emphasised the fact that the right of the people to control the liquor traffic was established by the concession of both the great parties now. That, he said, could never be revoked. All they had to do was to insist that that principle should lie carried into effect. Mr. T.

Fry. M.P., Mr. Samuel Pope, Q.C., Mr. Allison, M.P.. and other speakers addressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed calling upon the legislature to combine with the people in ridding the nation of the curse of the drink traffic.

Ai'I'ointmlnt or Town Cleuk of Salfoud. A special meeting of the Salford Town Council was held on Monday to appoint a Town Clerk in succession to Mr. John Graves, who was recently dismissed from the office. There were originally 72 applicants, and on Monday three of them waited by invitation upon the General Purposes Committee, Mr. S.

Brown, Town Clerk of Rotherham Mr. J. E. Ellis, Town Clerk of Southport and Mr. A.

Nicholson, Town Clerk of Oldham. The General Purposes Committee recommended Mr. Brown to the Council for the office, and he was accordingly appointed at a salary of 1,000 per annum. He is to devote the whole of his time to the office, and to find a guarantee for 1,000. THBOAT AFFECTIONS AND tlOARSEJTESS.

G. Aneroid. 7 MandA-mrl TJ afflicted with chronic rheumatism for four vears. She found no relief from medicines, and was induced to use St. Jacobs Oil.

One application reduced the sweUing of the ankles and knees, and two more applications removed aU pain. Mr. J. Wilkinson, 88, Bentham-road, South Hackney, London, suffered from rheumatism in his feet and legs for twenty years. One bottle of St.

Jacobs Oil drove away all pain, and brought about an effectual cure. Mr. Henry Rieketts, Trym Cottages, Westbury, Gloucestershire, was a great sufferer from rheumatism for over two years. His attacks grew so violent that he went to Bath Hospital to have the benefit of the mineral waters. In five weeks he left even worse, and his case was pronounced incurable.

Thm he used St. Jacobs Oil. One application entirely relieved him of pain his health is now fully restored, and the disease has never returned. The Christ' an says "A man employed at Central Fish Market, London, was for three years helpless with rheumatism, and after baring been sent to three different hospitals was declared incurable-. After three days' use of St.

Jacobs Oil, he could use his arm without pain. Continuing the use of it, aU pain, swelling, and stiffness disappeared. He is now cured, and at work." St. Jacobs Oil acts like magic. Its curative powers are simply marvellous.

It conquers pain quickly and surely. It goes right to the spot. It cures 'when everything else has failed. A single trial will convince the most incredulous. It has cured thousands of cases of rheumatism and neuralgia which have resisted treatment for the greater part of a lifetime.

COLLISION BETWEEN EMIGRANT STEAMERS. KEPT DOWN J1Y OOLP. According to the Latest advices from the Canary Isles it seems that nothing further has been done towards either raising the Sud America, sunk by collision with the French steamer La France, nor yet to recover the bodies of those who were drowned in their sleeping berths. It was said that a salvage steamer was expected out soon, and meantime the authorities had issued orders against any diver going down to the vessel. It was thought that about fifty corpses were still in the steamer.

An English diver named Davies made one or two descents, and succeeded in bringing up two or three of the corpses. In the case of one body brought up, that of a man, it was found that his vest was simply lined with gold pieces, the value of which was said to be between 500 and G00. 'The weight of the gold was such as to prevent the man coming to the surface of the water, and was the sole cause of his being drowned. In the case of the body of a woman a large bag of gold was found in the breast of her clothing, and the corpse of another man was encircled by a belt heavily weighted with specie. The authorities have expressed them: elves unwilling to have any further of the corpses landed on the island, as the interment accommodation is not large, and have given orders for any further bodies to be towed out to sea and sunk.

TERRIBLE DISASTER IN CHINA. NEAltLy A THOUSAND LAHOlllEKS DROWNED. The whole of the new embankment of the Yellow River, which was commenced Last autumn at the spot where the old embankment gave way has been completely swept away by the summer floods. It is said to have cost 2,000,000 sterling. As the Hood rose it was seen that the strain was becoming dangerous, and Li Hang-tsae, the high official in charge of the work, sent for in hot haste, but before he could arrive the whole bank went down before the flood, and of the of river-wall lately completed, not an inch remains, and the waters are pouring unchecked through the immense gap into the Honan province.

From 800 to 1 ,000 labourers who' were on the bank were also swept away and drowned. It is reported from Pekin that all the officials concerned are being severely punished. Li Hang-tsao and the Governor of the province are being dismissed and degraded another high official is being banished to Mongolia, and the late High Commissioner of the Yellow River is to be banished to the Amoor. The disasters can scarcely stop as they are now, because the volume of silt-laden waters will create shallows which will still further increase the inundated area, and may cause an overflow into the Yangtse, which will 'make the conservation of that great waterway a matter of urgent importance. SHIPBUILDING ACTIVITY.

From Lloyd's return for the quarter ending September 30, 1888, issued on Tuesday, it appeal's that a remarkable increase has taken place in the amount of work in progress at the shipbuilding yards in the, United Kingdom. The number of vessels in course of construction is recorded as 100, against 240 in the corresponding quarter of last year, the gross tonnages being 698,995 and 393,310 respectively. Of late the advance has been rapid, and it continues so for as compared with the quarter ending June of this year there is an addition of 90,877 tons building, and at the end of September there were 167 vessels aggregating 351,281 tons for the construction of which preparations were being made, against 82 of 179,581 tons three months previously. Of tho 400 vessels building, 260, with a gross tonnage of 483,022, are for the United Kingdom 6, with a total burthen of 6,470 tons, for the Colonies and 13 (tonnage, 36,916) for Germany. Steel plays a more and more prominent part in marine architecture.

The number of steamships being built of this material has grown from 143 in the third quarter of 1887 to 279 in that of 1888, while the iron vessels have risen from 41 to only 49. As for sailing ships, the entire increase is in steel from 10 to 27 iron craft showing no change, and wood and composite ships a decline from 43 to 36. THE MURDER NEAR GATESHEAD. The adjourned inquest on the body of Jane Beet-moor, who was brutally murdered at Birtley, near Gateshead, on the 22nd September, was held on Tuesday morning at the Three Tuns Inn, Birtley, before Coroner Graham. Mr.

Clark represented the' prisoner Weddell, the alleged culprit, who was arrested at Yet-holm, in Roxsburghshire, on Monday week. Mr. Lambert watched the case on behalf of the prosecution. In opening the inquest the Coroner thought it highly desirable that members of the local press should not follow the example of the London press in the publication of details of the post-mortem examination, and strongly censured certain local papers for statements which were not fair to the man in custody. Dr.

Galloway gave the result of his post-mortem examination. He was of opinion that the wounds were not self-inflicted. Death arose from internal and external hemorrhage from a wound in the lower part of the body. Jane Savage, mother of the deceased, spoke to her daughter leaving the house on the evening of the 22nd September. She never saw her again alive.

Witness had often seen the deceased in WeddeU's company, and she knew they were sweethearts. Dorothy Newall said deceased came to her house on the Saturday night. Weddell came and was sulky they went awa)- together. Further evidence showed that deceased was never seen alive again. WeddeU disappeared, and was apprehended, after a search lasting a week, by Detective Stenhouse, at Yetholm.

The inquiry was adjourned until the 24th. On Wednesday Weddell was brought before the magistrates at Chester-lc-Street. An application to remand the prisoner till the conclusion of the adjourned inquest was granted. The prisoner will probably be again brought up on the 25th inst.

4 THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS. A STARTLING DISCOVERY. "JACK THE RIPPER" AGAIN. The Central News says a startling fact has just come to light in reference' to thi recent Whitechapel murders, which goes somewhat towards clearing up the mystery with which the crimes have been surrounded. After kilUng Catherine Eddowes in Mitre-square, the murderer, it is now known, walked to Goulstone-street, where he threw away the piece of the deceased woman's apron upon which he had his bloody hands and knife.

Within a few feet of this he had written upon the wall, The Jews shall not be blamed for nothing." Most unfortunately one of the police officers gave orders for this writing to be immediately sponged out, probably with a view to stilling the morbid curiosity which it would certainly have aroused. But in so doing a very important link was destroyed, for had the writing been photographed a certain clue would have been in the hands of the authorities. The witnesses who saw the writing, however, state that it was simikvr in character to the Central News and signed Jack the Ripper." The Central News, since the original letter and postcard of "Jack the Ripper" were published, has received from thirty to forty communications daily signed Jack the Ripper," evidently the concoction of silly notoriety-hunters. A third communication, however, has been received from the writer of the original Jack the Ripper" letterand postcard, which, acting upon official advice, it has been deemed prudent to withhold for the present. It may be stated, however, that although the miscreant avows his intention of committing further crimes shortly, it is only against unfortunates that his threats are directed his desire being to respect and protect honest women.

THE EMPLOYMENT OF BLOODHOUNDS. Sir Charles Warren has made arrangements for the employment of bloodhounds to track the murderer in the event of any further persons being found murdered under circumstances similar to those in the eases which have recently occurred in Whitechapel. An instruction ha3 been issued to the polica that they are not to remove the body of the victim but to send notice immediately to a veterinary surgeon in the south-west district, who holds several trained bloodhounds in readiness to be taken to the spot where the body may be found, and to be at once put on the scent. No details as to the plan which will be followed are given. The plan of operations will to a great extent depend upon the circumstances of any particular case in which the aid of the bloodhounds may be called in requisition.

The two bloodhounds Barnahy and Burghs sent to Scotland Yard by Mr. Brough, of Wyndgate, Scarborough, and St. Amies 01 1 -1 he Sea, are well known to dog breeders in Lancashire. They have been kept down at St. Annes, and have frequently been entered, always with success, at the dog shows in the district.

Sir Charles Warren witnessed a private trial of bloodhounds in one of the London parks at an early hour on Tuesday morning. In all half-a-dozen runs were made, Sir Charles Warren in two instances acting as the hunted man. In every instance the dogs hunted persons who were complete strangers to them, and occasionally the trail would be crossed. When this happened the hounds were temporarily checked, but either one or the other would pick up the trail again. In consequence of the coldness of the scent on Tuesday morning the hounds worked very slowly, but they demonstrated the possibility of tracking complete strangers on to whose trail they had been laid.

The Chief Commissioner seemed pleased with the result of the trials, though he did not express any definite opinion on the subject to those present. THE FUNERAL OF THE MITRE SQUARE VICTIM. The funeral of Catherine Eddowes, the victim of the Mitre Square murder, took place on Monday afternoon at Ilford, Essex, where the City of London Cemetery is situated. The expenses of the funeral were borne entirely by a private citizen. The corpse, decently laid in a plain coffin, with the name and age of the deceased engraved thereon, was removed at half-past one from the Golden Lane Mortuary.

Thousands of people lined the streets in the vicinity of the mortuary, evincing much sympathy. The mourning coaches had some difficulty in penetrating the lare crowd outside, among whom threats against "Jack the Ripper" were loud and frequent. The body was followed by a mourning coach, in which were three of the deceased's sisters Mrs. Eliza Gold, Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher, Mrs.

Harriet Jones, and the man Kelly, with whom Eddowes lived. THE WOMEN IN WHITECHAPEL. A correspondent of the Central News, in company with Dr. Saunders, the medical superintendent on Tuesday visited some of the wards at the Infirmary of St. George's in the East.

He found the unfortunate women inmates in a state of great excitement over the Whitechapel murders. Not one of them would entertain the principal theories respecting the identity and objects of tho murder. They were positive the recent crimes have been the work of one man, who, by the description given, and anecdotes related, appears to bo a street bully of a somewhat superior type. One woman, named Penny, statod to Dr. Saunders that if she were well enough to get about she would soon find and identify the man, whom she is certain is the murderer.

He frequently maltreated the women of the streets and extorted money from them under threats i of ripping them up." They had sometimes appealed I to the police with the only result of a terrible beating I from the scoundrel the very next night. Penny averred that every woman in the ward would be able; to pick the man out of a thousand. She described him as a foreigner, about 40 years of age. She believed he had been a doctor. He dressed fairly well, and generally carried a big heavy stick.

It is stated that the poiico have received more than one statement of this character from women of the street, and inquiries have been made with the view of testing their accuracy; but in each case the information obtained went to show that the female fears had exaggerated the facts, the suspect proving to be one of a cLass of desperadoes, unfortunately too numerous in the lower part of the metropolis, whose ferocity invariably takes the comparatively safe form of ill-treating the most wretched and friendless of women. In each case, where complaint has been made, the police of course have been careful to obtain the fullest information of the movements of the man suspected. CLUES TO THE WHITEHALL MYSTERY. The medical evidence given at the inquest held on Monday on the headless and limbless body found at Whitehall has placed the police in possession of a description of a woman who was the subject of the horrible crime thus committed. A great many cases of missing women have been brought before the police, and the number has caused some embarrassment.

Now, however, the police have before them the fact that the deceased woman wa3 a plump woman of about 5ft. Sin. or 5ft. 9in. high; that she had suffered from pleurisy that she was from 24 years of age upwards that she had fair skin and dark hair and that her hand, found with the arm at Pimlico, showed that she had not been used to hard work.

Moreover, the police have the fact that the death may have been from six weeks to two months prior to the 2nd of October, which would bring the end of her life to about the 20th of August, and the death, moreover, is defined as having been one which drained the body of blood, This last point means that wherever the woman met i her death and it was not in the water the place would be marked with blood. Anxious search is being made for the missing head. LATER PARTICULARS. Up to eleven o'clock on Wednesday night no further arrests had been made in connection with the Whitechapel murders. A reporter who patrolled the East End districts states that the popular excitement has almost entirely subsided.

It is understood, however, that the police have in no way rebxed their vigilance, and that the number of plain clothes men and amateur patrols has not been reduced. At all the stations matters were reported unusually quiet, a state of affairs due in a great measure doubtless to the elaborate system of patrols recently instituted by the police in the neighbourhood, and "the disappearance of many of the most disorderly characters from the streets at a comparatively early hour, owing to the prevailing terror. Members of "the vigilance committees recently instituted were also freely met with, while policemen and detectives in plain clothes were posted at various points within easy hail of each other in the event of an alarm being raised. The I opinion generally expressed by the police and others on the watch for the murderer is that 1 will find the district too closely watched to aUow him to repeat his terrible crime without detection, and if heard of again it will be in some other part of the metropolis. We are informed that there is no truth in the report of an arrest at Chingford in connection with the recent murders.

A Liverpool correspondent states that the police there have no knowledge of the report which has been circulated that they were cognisant of the movements of a man suspected of being concerned in the Whitechapel murders. The Head Constable has, however, given instructions for the railway stations and departing steamers to be closely watched, but up to now there is no trace of the murderer so far as Liverpool is fairing tnatK were placed on Saturday Und Jiifjbt Bidet.)

LORD ROSEBERY AT LEEDS. Lord Rosebery addressed a meeting of Liberals in the Coliseum, Leeds, on Tuesday night. Alluding to Mr. Balfour's Glasgow speech his Lordship said that if their evidence as to the present state of Government in Ireland rested on that speech alone tb.

would have sufficient evidence before God and man that it was a Government that was not justified in being supported by the free people of England. Scotland, and Wales. Mr. Chamberlain had triumphantly said that they had no policy, but the speaker contended, the function of the Opposition was not to supply a policy to the country but to criticise. He would venture to say, however, that no party, however supported by a great majority, had ever possessed a policy more distinct and better knowu than the policy which they held.

In the first place it was a negative policy but a very simple one if they were returned to power they would putan eudto coercion, and make the union of these kingdoms a real union by making the poor peasants of Ireland as amenable to trial by jury as the citizen of this country. He was sure that the democracy of EngLmd and Scotland had embraced the cause of Ireland, and that they were determined that a local legislature should be set up for the determination of distinctly Irish affairs so long as the supremacy was safeguarded. On Wednesday Lord Rosebery was presented with an address by the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, allusion being nuide to the tenure of the office of Foreign Secretary. Lord Rosebery, in reply, said he had always held that the Foreign Secretaryship should be non-political, and that the person holding it should speak with the united voice of the English nation. In future our foreign policy was likely to be more and more blended with Colonial policy, and even if the process entailed some sacrifice we should cooperate with the Colonies for the purposes of imperial defence.

Addressing the Leeds Junior Liberal Association in the evening, Lord Rosebery defended himself against the criticism of Lord Harrington at Inverness, and stated that he objected to have lectures on consistency read to him. PROFESSOR BALDWIN IX LEKDS. EXCITING LEAP FROM THE CLOUDS. Mr. T.

S. Baldwin, the celebrated American aeronaut, made his twenty-seventh ascent in the United Kingdom at the Cardigan Fields, Leeds, on Monday afternoon, within view of about a hundred thousand persons. The proceedings began at three o'clock with a variety entertainment on a platform erected in the centre of the enclosure. Meanwhile, the professor's balloon, made of bright yellow silk, and 20 feet in diameter, was being filled with 14,000 feet of Leeds gas from a 14-inch gas main, under the superintendence of Mr. Suddaby, of the Corporation (his Department.

Mr. Baldwin and his manager, Mr. Farini, gave certain necessary directions from time to time, and Mrs. Baldwin was also an interested spectator of what was going on about her. At a quarter to five o'clock the process of filling the balloon had been completed.

The cords connecting the trapeze on which the aeronaut sits on making his ascent were then arranged, the crossbar wr- attached to them, and the parachute was taken from the sack in which it had been concealed from view. 'Liking off his tall hat and black cloth coat Mr. unfolded the parachute, which is made of Po igeo silk, and is eighteen feet in diameter. The weight of the balloon and parachute, with the aeronaut, is The balloon itself is said to be the lightest over made. Taking with him a wooden hoop, which is i.ii ended to make an opening so that the air tan enter, the Professor crept inside the parachute and fixed the hoop in position.

On coming outside he minutely examined the cords which connect the sides of the parachute with a ring about two feet in diameter and made of gas-piping. It is this ring which he holds when descending. Mr. Baldwin then attached the top of the parachute to a steel clip on the side of the balloon, where it is held by a cord which snaps when he throws himself out. Taking the ring of the parachute in his hand, and seating himself on the crossbar of the balloon, he gave the signal to Let go" at five minutes to five o'clock.

The men at the sandbags let go their hold, and amid a deafening cheer the machine shot up into the air at a rapid pace. The balloon, on having attained a considerable height, went in the direction of Headingley. When it had been in theairabout a minute, during wnich thou-, sands of eyes were strained to catch themovements of the Professor, he was seen to throw himself from his balloon and descend earthwards at a rapid rate, with the parachute above him. The balloon, which is con-' structed as to be top-heavy," turned over, and, the gas escaping from it. it gradually collapsed and fell, a shapeless mass to earth.

After the parachute had descended apparently about a hundred feet it was seen to become gradually inflated until it assumed the shape of an inverted punch bowl. While this process had been going on there was a great deid of oscillation, which the professor seemed to be endeavouring to stop by the action of his body. When, however, the parachute had become thoroughly distended, it gracefully and gradually came down, finally alighting in the middle of a field on the opposite side of Kii kstall Road. During this time the air was rent by cheers and cries of Bravo from tens of thousands of throats. The ascent and descent occupied a little over three minutes.

After rolling up his parachute, Mr. Baldwin entered a conveyance and drove through the great crowds to the platform in Cardigan Fields, where he was greeted with the wildest enthusiasm. Here he made a brief speech, which was followed by an address from Mr. Farini. Mr.

Baldwin afterwards said, in the course of an interview, that his aneroid barometer showed that he had attained the height of 3,000 feet before he leapt from the balloon. Had the atmosphere been clear it was his intention to ascend about two miles before leaping from the balloon. A marriage has been arranged between Mr. Willoughby Aston Littledale, youngest son of the late Mr. Henry Littledale, of Bolton Hall, Craven, Yorkshire, and Miss Violet Thursby, eldest daughter of Sir John Hardy Thursby, of Ormerod House, Burnley, Lancashire.

The Daily Neics says Mr. George Lewis, on behalf of Mr. Henrv Campbell, M.P., the private sec retary of Mr. ParneU, has commenced an action against The Times newspaper for libel, the libel consisting of the statement that Mr. CampbeU was the writer of the 1 alleged forged letters.

Thb Italian Fastixg Man. According to a Madrid correspondent, the Italian Succi has completed half of his fast. The first 15 days made him lose only nine kilogrammes. He fences daily with swordsmen to show his agility. He takes nothing but small quantities of water.

Tho medical men three times a day examine his stomach with an instrument to see if he has taken food. Doctors and journalists watch him night and day. Succi talks with the many visitors to tho Exhibition who go to see him every "day, and seems to enjoy perfect health. He is in high spirits. Failure or a Miller.

Mr. William Branscombe, a weU-known West of England miller, trading largely with Bristol corn merchants, has just filed his petition, his gross liabilities being about 1.300, 1,100 being due to unsecured creditors. His deficiency is just 700. The debtor attributed his failure chiefly to speculations in wheat options, and admitted in his examination before the Official Receiver that ho authorised a Bristol firm List July to purchase 20,000 bushels of Chiacgo corn for him, but did not expect that the firm would deliver it. It was a mere speculation, and he intended taking advantage of the rise and faU in the market.

6,000 Worth of Jewellery Missing. A wealthy American lady Mrs. Paran Stevens who lately arrived in Paris, hits missed valuable jewellery and diamonds amounting in value to 6,000. She has accused her maid, and the girl has accordingly been arrested, but asserts that her mistress sent the missing objects to London. Strange to say, the lady, who is of an eccentric uisposition availed nerselt for the purpose of bringing the supposed debnquent to justice of the services of a police -inspector, with whom she had, according to the Paris correspondent of a contemporary, a rather amusing adventure some years ago.

Mrs. Stevens had refused to pay a tradesman's biU, amounting to about 160, and the creditor having applied to the police, the local Commissary a huissier, or bailiff, and his two clerks proceeded to Mrs. Stevens's hotel. They had an interview with the lady, but she left the room in high dudgeon, and locked the legal people in. Eventually the biU was paid, after much amusement had been caused by the episode.

The inspector and commissary who was temporarily incarcerated on that occasion is the same functionary who is now engaged in investigating the Diamond robbery." Pnn TOBACCONISTS COMMENCING1 X'U.

About half-past eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning a shocking accident occurred at Cossall Colliery, Ilkeston, whereby two lads, named William Green, a clipper, fifteen years of age, of New Answorth, and William Horton, a pony boy, fifteen years of age, of the same place, were killed. It appears that during the dinner hour the lads went into the "'Gob Gate" with a tram of dirt, and it is supposed that the tram caught against a prop and knocked it out, thus letting down the roof and bind.

Several men were within thirty yards of the gate, but none of them heard the roof fall, and it was not until the lads were missed that the accident was discovered. A youth named Macdonald had been emptying dirt in the same place all the morning, but he had not seen any sign of danger. It was nearly an hour before the lads were extricated, and when they were brought to the surface it was found that they had been shockingly injured, life being extinct. THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
