NO IMPROVEMENT. -1. u Two Fatal Cases at Newcastle. CONDITION OF HAMBURG. The official report issued on Saturday by the Local Government Board states that no deaths from cholera or choleraic diarrhoea have been reported from Hull, Grimsby, or Cleethorpes for the past three days. One of the fatal cases in Malton rural district is regarded as indis- tinguishable from true cholera. Two fatal cases at Newcastle are still doubtful. Newcastle Stricken. The Press Association Newcastle correspon- dent telegraphs that the medical investigation hows that the two deaths which occurred in the east end of the city last week were Asiatic cholera. Every precaution has been taken to prevent the spraad of the outbreak. Anotbfer Death at Hull. A married woman named Chambers, living in one of the poorest localities in Hull, was seized with cholera on Sunday night, and has since died in the hospital. Her five children were also removed to the hospital, ostensibly for the purpose of receiving shelter, but it is freely stated that they, too, are suffering from the disease. A Gravesend Victim. The Central News states that a seaman named Mudd, who was removed on Saturday afternoon from the steamship Aslibrook to the f port sanitary floating hospital off Gravesend suffering from cholera, died on Saturday night.

A GRUESOME LECTURE. Ex-Hangman Berry Says he Knew Too Much for the Government. Berry, the ex-hangman, on Saturday night commenced a series of public appearances in Birmingham in the capacity of a lecturer on prison life. "Her Majesty's ex-executioner" mounted the platform to the strains of "Daddy we'l'tbuy me a bow-wow, and commenced a long tirade against capital punishmeut. As far as could be gathered from his rambling statement, hanging ought to be abo- lished, not because it is wrong, but because retributive justice is not even- handed. The aristocracy. Berry remarked, don't want hanging abolished, because no mem- ber of the upper class is ever hanged. Hin- fluence was mentioned as the secret of the escape of well-to-do criminals, either to pennle servitude or to Broadmoor Lunatic Asylum. In illustration of his argument, the lecturer went through a number of cases with which he had had to do, contending that certain humble criminals ought to have been let off on the ground of insanity, while certain others of a wealthier class, so obviously guilty that the prison officials had almost begged for the privilege of hanging' them, had gone off laughing to Broadmoor. Berry claimed to have brought the science of painless hanging to perfection, and cited the Prison Commis- sioners as having testified to this. Mr. Justice Hawkins was a "bloodthirsty old villain," according to the opinion of the lec- turer, and seemed to be to his mind a criminal only less heinous than the condemned persons who have committed the unpardonable offence of dishing the hang-men at the last moment. He had done the Government's dirty work, Berry said, and they had g'ot rid of him because he knew too much for them. As for confessions, he claimed to have been more expert in extorting them than any prison chap- lain. His method seems to have been to take the prisoner aside while piniouing him, and to exclaim,patting bim affectionately on the back and looking him in the face. John, you are going now to meet your death. Just before you go tell me, did you commit that murder ? Did you kill your wife r If you die with a lie on your lips you will be in everlasting torment from the time you leave this world. You will be damned you will be in hell fire." In this way Berry claimed to nave gained the confidence of several murderers, and to have received confessions from men who were generally believed to have died recalcitrant. Lee, the Babbi- combe murderer, who was reprieved after three attempts to hang' him, rendered unsuc- cessful by the failure of the apparatus, confided the secret of his crime, it appeared, to Berry, and Berry alone, and after eating the hansrman's breakfast impudently remarked that he had dreamt the execution would not come off.

SAVED 14,000 LIVES. Cardiff Ladies Will Help the Lifeboat Fund. This afternoon a meeting, convened and pre- sided over by the mayoress (Mrs. Vaughan), was held in the Crown Court at the Town-hall, Car- diff, to consider the formation of a committee of ladies for collection purposes in connection with the proposed Ladies' Lifeboat Saturday in Car- diff. There was but a small attendance of ladies, with Mr. A. C. Tweedy, secretary of the move- msnt. The MAYORESS, in opening the proceedings, said it was unnecessary to enlarge upon the good that had been done and the heroism dis- played by the members of the National Lifeboat Institution. It seemed there were many more men prepared to risk their lives in the glorious work than there were people willing' to bend financial help, and for that reason they had met to support the Cardiff Lifeboat Saturday Fund. If the movement was to suc- ceed they must ask for sympathy and assistance, and she felt sure they would all give that. The poor sailors, in this matter, had a great demand upon the inhabitants of Cardiff, as the town was largely indebted for its success too the shipping interest of the port. She called upon Mr. Tweedy to read the report, or extracts from it, and suggested that in the meantime the ladies present consider and discuss the matter, *and afterwards offer their services. Mr. TWEEDY, before coming to the object of the meeting, made a few remarks explanatory of the work of the Royal Lifeboat Institution, which bad been instrumental in saving 14,000 lives. Last year there were 4,000 wrecks, and the lives of 1,050 .sailors were saved. The institu- tion in that year expended £80,000 to efficiently maintain the fleet of 304 boats, and 17,000 men were engaged in the work of rescue. They had not sufficient money to keep the boats in proper order, and the institution had no fund out of which to make provision for men injured in the service. On behalf of the institution what help were they prepared to give ? They bad in Cardiff an influential commit- tee, and proposed to hold a demon- stration and procession on the 14th of October, and also to make a collection en route. Mrs. MTTLLINS asked, Would not the Govern- ment subsidise the fund? Mr. TWEHDT replied that the Government must take over the whole thing absolutely, or leave it to voluntary contributions. Hf the, Government stepped in they would have to get Government crews and machinery, which would increase the expense considerably, and the pre- seni; voluntary crews would not act under G ayeminent representatives. During the discussion it was proposed to allocate collector* to each of the wards, but before this step was taken it was arranged to meet again in the mayor's parlour on Thursday next, at 6.30, to carry out the preliminary steps. The following committee was appointed :—Miss Grt-atrex, Mrs.Deere. Mrs.Walker, Miss Chubb, Miss Stenton, and Mrs. Dr. Mulliu. The pro- ceedings closed with a cordial vote of tluwk" to the mayoress. '"All v-

WHAT IS A BUILDER P Anything from a Beggar to a Millionaire. Messrs. J. B. Body and Son, auctioneers, &c. sued James T. Hawken, builder. before hi Honour Judge Edge, at Stonehouse. Defend in said lie was now living on his "old people.' He had just started as canvasser for an insur- ance agent. He was a labourer by trade.—HIR Honour It is surprising how labourers sud- denly blossom into builders, and quite as suddenly descend to labourers. (Laughter.) In the case of speculative builders it is a case of heads I win and tails you (the creditors) lose. (Laughter.) What is the definition of a builder ? Anything above a beggar up to a millionaire. (Laughter).—An order of Is. a month was made, the Judge remarking that when defendant got into a better position plaintiff could ask to have the order, increased.

TOMAHAWKED. --+- A Burglar Commits a Horrible Crime. A YOUNG LADY A VICTIM. A Dalziel's telegram from Sydney on Sunday says This morning an attempt was made to rob the Carcoar branch of the City Bank of Sydney.. The manager, Mr. Phillips, resided on the bank premises, and at an early hour was aroused by noises of an unusual character. On going out to ascertain the cause of the disturbance he was confronted by a masked burglar, who struck him savagely about the head with a small hatchet or toma- hawk. Mr. Phillips fell dead on the floor, and a young lady visitor, named Miss Cavanagh, who ran to the spot on hearing the manager's cries for help, was also killed by the would-be robber. The manager's wife, who came to the assistance of her husband and friend, was terribly wounded with the tomahawk, and now raa lies in a precarious condition. The daughter, who came to her aid, bad two of her fingers chopped off in attempting to wrest the hatchet from the hands of the murderer. After a fearful struggle with the girl the latter made his escape. He made his way to the Church of England vicarage, where he stole a horse from the stable, on which he made good his escape before an alarm could be raised. The police up to the present have had no clue as to the whereabouts of the desperado.

ADVANCE WALES. -t>- Welsh Doing the Big Thing at Chicago. WE HOLD THE WINNING CARD. It had been intended that the Hon. Anthony Howells, American Consul at Cardiff, should have presided during one of the Welsh days at Chicago, and special permission had been obtained for him from the Secretary of State to leave his post at Cardiff for the time necessary. Mr. Howells's ill-health, however, prevented him carrying out an intention he would have so gladly fulfilled, and he was reluctantly com- pelled to forego the pleasure of attending the great eisteddfod at Chicago. On Saturday Mr. Howells received the following letter from Mr. Apmadoc, the secretary, who did so much to make the eisteddfod a brilliant success It was a great disappointment to us to find you could not attend the eisteddfod, but the reason given is sufficient, though we are sorry it was so, trusting' you are much better, or wholly recovered, by this time. The ladies' choir of Cardiff reached here on Monday evening before the eisteddfod, and we agree with you they showed 'pluck, will, and determination,' to ven- ture so far from home. We expected to find you leading them into the city. Our conclusion was, not finding you there, that Secretary Gresham's cablegram had miscarried, but your letter settles that case. The two ladies' choirs at the eisteddfod sang exquisitely, but the Cardiff singers, on account of greater expression, won first prize. It was the finest contest in the eisteddfod, but we wish there had been more choirs to puzzle the people. Seven choirs appeared in the male con- test, and it was a magnificent fight—worth coming across the ocean to see, and no one would have enjoyed it more than your- self — the Bhonada Vallev taking the prize on account of deeper expres- sion. The contest between the Ehondda and the North Wales choir was one of the prettiest that anyone would ever wish to wit- ness: Hwfa Men was in his glocy. The reception to Ben Davies, Mary Davies, and John Thomas was princely. The officials of the World's Fair give us credit for bringing into the fair the most interesting and successful exercises of anything that they have had. We have the winning card, and have received their special compliments. Colonel Page came to see me the first day he was in the city, and introduced himself through your letter, and very pleased we were to meet such an elegant gentleman. My son was in the office at the time, and the colonel was coached to the places he wanted to see, and very pleased he was to have a guide. To-day, again, he called to pay his respects and to bid me good-bye. I have sent with him my sincerest regards to the Consul family at Cardiff."

AFRAID TO SPLIT." The Barry Burglary Forms the Subject of a Magisterial Inquiry. At Penarth Police-court this morning (before Mr. O. H. Jones and Mr. John Duncan) John Keeffe, a boarding-house keeper, of 17,Homfray- street, Cardiff; — Griffin, and Mary Harries (a woman living at 4, Mary Ann-street, Cardiff); were brought up in custody charged—the two former with committing a burglary at the shop of the Model Clothing Company, kept by Mr. S. Solomon, in Thompson-street, Barry Dock, on Thursday night, and the latter with receiving- a portion of the proceeds of the robbery.—Prose- cutor (Mr. S. Solomon) said no one lived on the premises in Thompson-street. He left the place thorougly secure on Thursday evening, when he went home to Cardiff. On arriving at Barry Dock on Friday morning, however, he found the place had been forcibly broken into by means of a window in the back kitchen, the x 11 latch of which had been broken. On examina- tion of the shop goods he found about zP,50 or zC60 worth of goods had been stolen, including about fifteen or twenty suits of clothes, five sailors' bag, and fifty or more silk handker- chiefs. The eight suits of clothes and other articles produced were his property.—Police- constable Arthur Williams, of the Cardiff Borough Constabulary, said he was on duty about 11.30 on Saturday morning in Bute- street, and in consequence of information re- ceived he went in company with Detective Rankin and Austin to No. 17, Homfray-street, where they found a large quantity of the stolen property in question. The house was occupied by the prisoner Keeffe, who was a boarding- master. Griffin was in the house at the time, wearing a trousers and vest, a part of the stolen goods. They, therefore, took both Keeffe and Griffin into custody. On being questioned, Keeffe said he knew something of the affair but he was afraid to split." Griffin maintained that he had never been to Barry in his life.—Police-constable James Kassady, also 'e of the Cardiff Borough Police Force, proved the arrest of the female prisoner on Saturday night as she was attempting to pledge a coat (part of the stolen property) at the shop of Mr. C. Follick, pawnbroker. On examining the house where she lived witness found a new vest and trousers concealed in a bag in the chimney.- Prisoners were remanded in custody for a week.

BAD FOR THE SCOTCH CABBY.' Takes Liberties with a Young Lady and Gets It Heavily. A London girl has had a peculiarly un- pleasant adventure in Edinburgh. The story was made public in a ease which came be- fore the local police-court oil. Saturday. Robert Skirving, a cabman,, was charged with being drunk in charge of a horse and cab, also with molesting a girl of twelve, his fare. It appeared from the evidence that the girl arrived by boat from London at Leith about ten o'clock on Thursday night, and hired the cabman to drive her to a friend's house in the Lander-road. a fashionable locality on the south side of Edinburgh. Instead of doing so the cabman drove the girl about the town for two hours, on several occasions getting down and going into the cab and putting his arms round her neck. Ultimately her cries drew attention. A was called and the cabman arrested. The police drove the girl to her destination about one o'clock in the morning.—The cabman was fined B2 or twenty days for being drunk, and sent to gaol fcr 40 days for molesting the girl.

SPORT OF KINGS. The Defeat of the Triple Crown Hero. FUTURE EVENTS. NEWMAEKET, Su NIJA r. With the meeting of two such champions as Isinglass and La. Fleche, it was no matter for wonder that, despite the heavy showers of rain that fell during the night and early morning, a big crowd was seen on the New Barns on Saturday. The only disappointing feature was the numerical strength of the field in other respects the race was worthy of its best tradi- tions since its inception in 1888. Only three, Isinglass, La Fleche, and Raeburn, received any attention in the paddock, as Lady Caroline was generally accepted as being out of her class. The other three each came in for plenty of support, and in each case connections were very confident as to to the result of their candi- date. The 13 to 8 betted on Isinglass came to a slight fraction on just after the hoisting of the numbers. La Fleche came in for plenty of sup- port, whilst Ra,eburn, evidently benefited by his long rest, stripped in perfect condition, and from 7 to 1 was quickly backed down to 9 to 2. The race itself can be described in a very few words. Lady Caroline dropped behind almost in the first few strides, and Loates went on at once to the front. Before reaching- the distance he was seen to be at work on Mr. M'Calmont's colt. Holding his own with La Fleche he was, how- ever, rapidly overhauled by Raeburfo, who, just opposite the principal enclosure, came out and won very cleverly by half a length. Of course, one cam be wise after the event, and point to Mrs. Butterwick's victory and the fact that Raeburn was reported to be a stone better in his trial that the St. Simon filly. I pointed as much out during the I week, in fact, but, on the other hand, I remembered the defeats inflicted on Raeburn during- the earlier part of the season, and felt justified in again pinning my faith on a colt that had hitherto done every- thing that had been asked of him. Even now I can hardly believe that the race is a true indi- cation of Isinglass's merits, for all public form speaks to the contrary. Indeed, we can almost feel assured that Mr. M'Calmont will now let his colt run in the Cambridgeshire, in which event he will have to concede Raeburn 31bs. more than on Saturday. Whether he will accomplish this task or not remains to be seen, but at any rate I should certainly be in favour of Isinglass were the pair to meet next month. Should Mr. M'Calmon decide not to run his colt for the Cambridgeshire there will be a chance for them to come together in the Champion Stakes in the second October Meeting. The surprise experienced by Raeburn's victory did not stand alone on the afternoon's programme, for in the opening event the down- fall of Aumbry was a big blow to backers. Looking- at her running behind St. Hilaire and Sempronius on the previous day, and again at her performance in the Prince of Wales's Nursery at Doncaster, it seemed a real good thing to support her to beat the moderate lot opposed to her. The Saturday Handicap looked very open, and it was there- fore not to be wondered at that the fielders had much the best of it when Totley, starting at 100 to 8, won very easily. The vic- tory of Sydenham and Keymer gave backers a bit the best of it at the close, but taken all round the closing day was certainly far from being in their favour. With the Lancaster Plate disposed of we should now see some speculation on the Duke of York Stakes, which will be run on Saturday week. It would not surprise me were Llanthony pulled out for this race in preference to the Cambridge- shire, and with 8st 31b on his four year old back I have a great liking for the chances of Bates's candidate. Suspender's preparation has been hampered considerably by the hard state of the ground. The Smew is reported to be going very well, whilst Avington, who is not over- burdened with 7st., itill keeps his position at the head of the quotations. For the present, taking a couple, I shall declare in favour of AviNGTON and LLANTHONY. The only move of importance in connection with the Cesarewitch market has been the shuffle with I'Anson's candidate, Newcourt having now been made a better favourite than Self Sacrifice. I mentioned only last week the probability of our hav- ing a puzzle to untangle in this quarter, and it looks as if such will be the case. The pair will not be tried previous to the race, and both will, I understand, run on their merits. Prisoner still stands firmly at the head of the quotations, but there is a doubt as to who will ride him. Brandy still finds supporters, although at the finish it may be that Molly Morgan will prove a dangerous candidate from this establishment. In- surance and Theobold are a couple of whose well doing I have received excellent accounts, whilst Hanover Jack, despite his little ebulli- tion of temper the other day, is going through his work in a very satisfactory manjier. Judging from the work he is doing-, Prisoner has not yet commenced his preparation for the long event, whilst Pickering is confident that Lady Rosebery was not seen at her best at Doncaster: and since the announcement that Morny Cannon will ride her she has been introduced into the betting, although meeting Prisoner on 121b. worse terms hardly gives one much encouragement to fancy her chance. The principal events for the current week will be the Great Foal Stakes at Newmarket on Tuesday, which looks at the mercy of HAR- BINGER. For the great Eastern Railway Handicap OATLANDS has a chance, whilst ADORATION or ESMOND may account for the October Handicap on Thursday. The Press Association' is officially informed that Isinglass has been struck out of all engage- ments for this year. VENATOR

MORE ABOUT ARDLAMONT. Strange Story About the Letting of the Shootings. The Press Association has received the fol. lowing extraordinary intelligence from a corre. spondent at Glasgow :—A sensational rumour has been circulated regarding the Arulamont mystery, namely, that a poacher, while col- lecting some grouse, hidden amongst the brushwood, saw the whole of the tragedy in which Lieutenant Hambrough was the unfortu- nate victim, but feared for some time to mention the fact because of the possible consequences to himself. The correspondent adds that the rumour mcy be absolutely groundlesss, but it exists, and he sends it for what it is worth. Another chapter in the Ardlamont mystery has been opened by information obtained by a Staines correspondent. Shortly after the tragedy Mr. Jerningham, a gentleman occupy- ing rooms at Trafalgar House, Gresham-road, Staines, where Monson and Lieut. Hambrough also resided during their stay in the town in the early part of the summer, received from Major Lamont, the owner of the Ardlamont estate, an application for the rent of the shoot- ings, it being at the time suggested that lie had made himself responsible for the pay- ment. Mr. Jerningham at once replied that he knew nothing about the matter, and he heard nothing further till Wednesday, when lie received a letter from a firm of solicitors at Edinburgh acting on behalf of Major Lamont. In their communication these gen- tlemen expressed surprise at the contents of Mr. Jerningham's letter, inasmuch a,s his name appeared in the lease of the shootings. They asked for a remittance of j6450. and in timated that Mr. Jerningk-am would. in the course of a day or two, be communicated with on the subject by their London agent, a, solicitor named Pontifex. They also ex- plained that the lease was signed at Risley Hall, Yorkshire, on the 9th of May last, and that a witness to Mr. Jerningham's signature was his own footman. A letter from Mr. Pontifex was received by Mr. Jerningham on Thursday morning, and in this the demand for £ 4-50 was repeated. Mr. Pontifex adding that the lease was in his possession. In ap interview with Mr. Jerningham during the morning, the correspondent received permission to make it publicly known that that gentle- man has had nothing whatever to do with the lease of the shooting, and that if his namo appears in the document it is a case of per- sonation and forgery. Mrs. Monson left Tighnabruiach by the s.s. Lord of the Isles on Eriday, and proceeded to Greenock. On arrival there, she despatched a box of cartridges to Messrs. Hobson, gun- smiths, Ripon. It is understood that she remained in Greenock for the night with the object of having an interview with her hus- band in Greenock Prison on Saturday. A Greenock correspondent telegraphs that Mr. Monson's Edinburgh agent had a long interview with his client on Saturday. Mrs. Monson, afterwards visited her husband, and remained with him an hour.

THE VALKYRIE. Lord Dunraven'sTrip Across the Herring Pond. A DJ xiel's telegram from New York on Saturday says: -Lord Dunraven upon his arrival here to-day was interviewed by a Dalziel representative with regard to the prospects of the Valkyrie in the contest for the America Cup. He said, "I trust the Valkyrie is in good condition. I am certain she has not been seriously injured by the stormy trip across the Atlantic. She is too staunch for that." Lord Dunraven went on to say, The Valkyrie has just as good a chance to win as the Vigilant. The Vigilant is a very fast boat, but so is the Valkyrie. I think what the captain of the Spain said is true. He saw the Valkyrie make 70 knots in seven hours under a jury rig in a heavy sea-way. She has made much faster time than that in her racing, but I must decline to tell you just how fast she has gone. There is not much difference between her speed and that of the Britannia. The Valkyrie is superior in windward work. though she is good in light airs, and fast in a. gale. She is only fair in moderate wind. She is an excellent sea boat. I cannot give an opinion all the relative merits of the Vigilant and the Valkyrie, because I have never seen the Vigilant, although I would like very much to witness her performance. The Navahoe is a good boat, the best you had on this side, when she was turned out. The Vigilant and Colonia- are. of course, improve- ments on her. With regard to his tour through America, Lord Dunraven said, I do not expect to make any hunting trips through Canada, I shall not have time." Visit to the Vigilant. The Earl of Dunraven (says a Dalziel's tele- gram) paid a visit to the cup defender, Vigilant, on Sunday, and expressed the opinion that she looked lilce a very fast boat, and likely to give the Valkyrie all she could ^o*to beat her.

CAMPERDQWN. to Destroyer of the Victoria Ashore at Malta. FLOATED AGAIN. A Central News telegram, dated Malta, Monday, says Her Majesty's ship Camperdown, while on her p first trial trip after repairing the damage she sustained in her disastrous collision with the Victoria, went aground at the mouth of the harbour here this morning. She lies in a dan- gerous position. The dockyard tug's Sampson and Hellespont are rendering assistance in order to tow her off. Cause of the Accident. A K enter's telegram from Malta says the accident was due to the breakdown of the Camperdown's steering gear. The spot where the ironclad has grounded is not regarded as dangerous, and it is expected the vessel will be easily re-floated. No Official Message. The Central News states that the Admiralty- have not yet received any information with refe- rence to the Camperdown from the admiral in charge at Malta. They, however, have received a message from a private source confirming the stranding' of the Camperdown and giving- her exact position. From this message they state it is unlikely that the vessel is in a very dan- gerous position. They believe that had her position been serious they would have had news from official sources before. Floated. A Lloyd's, telegram from from Malta, states that the British ironclad Camperdown is afloat. Later Details. A telegram from Malta, in the second edition of the Times, says :—As the Camperdown was leaving the harbour at 9.15 a.m. her helm be- came jammed, the ship ported, and sbe stranded opposite the Barracca entrance to the harbour. Her bows arc- fast aground on a rocky Lottom in 25ft. of water. Her bows rose 2 £ ft., and they are 20ft. from shore. The ship is not leaking, and the sea is calm, with light southerly breeze. The Admiralty tugs are assisting. The Camperdown, which forms one of our Medi terranean squi),dron, is a steel barbette vessel of 10,600 tons displacement, and was constructed at Ports- mouth in 1885. She is 330ft. in length, ha.s & beam measurement of and draws 27'8ft. of water. Her indicated horse-power is 11,500, with a speed of 17'1 knots an hour. The vessel's armament consists of four 67-ton guns, six breechloaders, nineteen quick- firing and seven machine guns.

DYNAMITE USED. Five Non-Unionist Seamen Killed at 'Frisco. A Central News telegram from San Francisco on Sunday says :—A terrible dynamite outrage, supposed to be the work of Trades Union sea- men, was perpetrated here this evening. A bomb was exploded against a boarding-house in which non-Unionist sailors lodged, with the result that the building was wrecked and two of its occupants killed on the spot. Four other men sustained such frightful injurles that three f of them died shortly afterwards, and the fourth man now lies in a critical condition. Three prominent members of the Seamen's Union have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the crime, and the police are searching for others.

THE BATH MYSTERY. Police are Put in Possession of impor- tant Clues. The mystery surrounding the remains of the murdered woman found in- a cavern at Hamp- ton Rocks, near Bath, is creating great sen- sation in the neighbourhood. This has been Ig intensified by the receipt by the police of blood-stained cuffs and a iaoe handkerchief belonging to a lady, and also a lady's gold watch. The latter had been raffled in a ■ public-house 111 the city by a man who ;aid he picked it up near the spot where the body was discovered. He also said he picked up the cuffs and handkerchief at the same time, which was about two years ago. He handed the cuffs and handkerchief to the police, -vho are prosecuting aiquiries. A later telegram saysThe police have found on the blood, stained handkerchief the name of A. H. Kerry," and it is supposed this was the murdered woman's name. They hope also to recover the gold chain which was attached to the watch already referred to. At about the time of the alleged discovery of the watch, cuffs, and handkerchief, a lady's hat was picked up in the neighbourhood of the Hampton rocks.
