STRYCHNINE FOR MORPHIA. CHEMIST'S ASSISTANT'S FATAL ERROR. Dr. Waldo resumed his inquest at the City London, on Henry Harris, 50, a carpet designer, who died after admis- sion to St. Bartholomew's. Harris, it was stated, had been in the habit of taking morphia, and, after having a dose £ «( June 12, waa taken ill. Ardreas Maceil, who described himself as a journalist, dramatic author, playwright, and poet, stated; at the first hearing that Harris told him that the chemist's assistant had not given him morphia. Maceil added that at the hospital he gave Harris twenty glasses of water. There waa nobody to prevent witness giving Harris the water. Dr. Wale, house physician at St. Bartholo- mew's, said that the witness was mistaken in Baying he had given Harris twenty glasses of water. They would not be sufficiently alone in the surgery. Dr. Wormick, who had analysed the de- ceased's stomach, said he found over half a grain of strychnine, which was more than a poisonous dose. By Mr. Smyth (who appeared for Messrs. Vines and Froom, Aldersgate-street); Morphia was not an antidote to strychnine; it might modify the effect, though Harris might have recovered unter treatment. John Herbert AtkIn, a chemist's assistant, I said that this was the second occasion he had served Harris, who asked hi m for three ounces of solution of morphia, and one ounce of water to be added. Witness went to the cupboard where it was kept, but the position of the bottle had been changed. He measured out the quantity and gave it to Harris. Then he looked at the bottle, and saw it was strychnine. He gave the man morphia as an antidote. Harris went before anything further could be done, and they were not in possession of his address. Harris was in a hurry, and was only in the shop a very few seconds. Witness discovered the mistake him- self, and the man would not have known of it otherwise. Dr. Wale said death was due to strychnine poisoning. There was no complete antidote Known for strychnine, but morphia was as effective as anything, it having the effect of an emetic. f A verdict of death from misadventure was returned.

STORY OF A LOVER'S CRIME A telegram from Berlin states that a remarkable murder trial has just been con- cluded there. Hugo Noecker, a young married man, employed as a clerk in a textile factory, fell in love with a young unmarried woman named Martha Kersten, who also worked in the same place. Noeker's wife became sus- picious of the relations between the two, and finally intercepted them walking together on their way home from work. She created a violent scene, and accused the young woman of having robbed her of her husband's affec- tions. Some time before this occurrence ths girl had implored Noecker either to give her np or to commit suicide with her, andVtfter the scene with the wife the two went away together to Spandau. Here, after they had I purchased two shrouds, they went to an j hotel, intending to take some poison which Noecker had been carrying about with him. After robing themselves in the shrouds, they took the poison. They lay down and waited I for death, but it did not come, the poison having loet its potency by being carried about so long with exposure to the air. Morn- ing came, and they went out, and Noecker, at the girl's earnest request, bought a revolver and some more poison. All day long they walked about the streets waiting for evening, and when darkness at last fell they dragged themselves to a. neighbouring wood. Again they took poison, but again it failed to act, a.nd then, according to Noecker's story, the girl suddenly snatched the revolver from lii3 hand and fired it into her temple. It did not kill her at once, and she lay writhing and groaning on the ground beside him. "I did not at first know what to do," said Noecker. "It waa a horrible sight. But suddenly it came to me that the only humane thing to do would be to end the poor girl's sufferings, and so I placed the pistol to her forehead and fired it again. Her struggles ceased at once, and she was dead." He then fired a bullet at himself, and said he remembered no more I until ten days later he found himself at his wife's house in a terrible condition of emaciation and raggednees. The girl's body was found in the wood, evi- dently having been laid out as if for her grave. Noecker, who was charged with the murder of the girl, affirmed that he was so impelled to put her out of her agony that he ld not help killing her, and the jury took a >tercifol view of the case. 'He was sentenced to oi*, year's imprisonment.

STABBING A SWEETHEART. Albert Lavender was indicted at the Old Bailey, London, for maliciously wounding Kose Baxter, his sweetheart. On the night of Whit-Monday the two had been strolling together in London-fields, when the prisoner suddenly attacked her with a knife, stabbing her nine times about the face and body. The screams of the girl brought assis- tance, and the prisoner was eventually taken into custody. The judge said the use of the knife in such cfrctunstancea could not be tole- rated. He sentenced the prjaonerto eighteen months' hard taboos* —

DECOYED FROM HER HOME. Hyman Levy, 58, tailor, and Max Lewis, 39, tailor, were indicted for taking Bessie Tamo- witch, an unmarried girl under the age of six- teen years, out of the possession of and against the will of her father. There were other indictments. some of them under the Criminal Law Amendment Act, against the accused. The National Vigilance Association, by whom the prosecution was instituted, regard the case as one of considerable importance. The parties are all Russian Jews, and the girl arid her parents came to this country from Warsaw about two years ago, and lived in Varden-atreet,. White- chapel. According to Mrs. Tamowitch's evidence, the girl was fifteen years of age last March. It was alleged by the prosecution that 'while left alone at home she was fre- quently visited by the prisoner Lewis, after which she disappeared. It was subsequently found that she was living in what was said to be a disorderly house, kept by Levy, in the Euston-road. Lewis also lived there, and the girl stated that after being criminally assaulted by him, she was sent out on the streets. The matter was brought to light in consequence of a disturbance which took place when Mr. Tamowitch went to the house to demand the return of his daughter. After a trial lasting three days, the jury found both prisoners guilty on six of the nine counts of the indictment, but recom- mended Levy to mercy on the ground that he had been the "tool" of Lewis. Sentence was deferred.

THE LATE KING ALEXANDER. An inquiry which has been made into the affairs of the late King Alexander shows that his financial condition was most deplorable. When Queen Draga deposited £28,000 in a, bank and acquired a villa at Brussels the King only possessed some land in Servia, the value of which was considerably below the sum he owed to the Bank of Wolga and Kama at St. Petersburg, and his indebtedness to this concern was 9100,000. It was the late Queen who held the strings of the Royal purse. She received £ 4,000 from the Civil List every month, and spent it as she thought fit. The King had to apply to her for the most trivial sums. (

FAITHLESS CHINAMAN. What is believed to be the first breach of promise case in the history of the Philippine Islands has resulted in a victory for the plaintiff, who receives £ 1,000 as damages. The defendant was Hao Tao Hoi, a Chinese merchant, said to be fairly wealthy. The plaintiff, Tomasa Reyes, a not unprepossess- ing Chinese half breed, testified that Hao had promised to marry her, and also to make over his house to her and give her a quarter interest in his business, but he had kept none of his promises. In giving judgment for plaintiff, Judge Ambler warned Hao against. Amy bikmm: of kiuft.

A HUSBAND'S ACCUSATION. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO MURDER HIS WIFE. At Worship-street Polioe-court, London, John Burton, a painter's labourer, aged 58, was charged with attempting to murder his wife, Jane. Inspector Collins said he saw prisoner at Bethnal Green Police-station early on Sunday morning. When charged, prisoner said, I wish I had done for my son as well. I have been down to Theydon Boils (in Essex) to try and find him, but failed." A constable handed witness a six-chambered toy revolver, which was found on Burton. Three chambers contained ball cartridges. The other three had been discharged. Prisoner stated that it was only a. toy weapon that had been given to him. Dr. Hope, house surgeon at the London Hospital, said Mrs. Burton was admitted to the institution on Saturday afternoon suffer- ing from wounds over the right eye and in the left shoulder. He attempted to discover the bullet which, it was alleged, entered the woman's head, but without success. She was progressing favourably. Inspector Collins added that a letter was found in prisoner's pocket, written in pencil and addressed to his wife. He believed Burton to be suffering from delusions. His wife, who was 64 years of age, had been away for a week, and on her return he accused her of undue intimacy with her two sons. This had evidently been preying on Burton's mind for some time. It was a most deliberate act. Mr. Oluer thought prisoner should have legal aid and be carefully looked after. Prisoner: I am all right in my mind. Mr. Cluer: I suppose you are, but you are mistaken as to the cause for doing this. Prisoner: I have got a oause, and can believe my own eyes, though they did not see me. He was remanded for a week. The letter found on him-made a. terrible allegation against his wife and their grown-up 80:1.<1, and wound up, "I hope the Lord will forgive you. I can't." It appears that Mrs. Burton only returned from a holiday in the. country in search of health on Saturday morning. When she got to their home in Scott-street. Bethnal Green, she had just asked him how he was, when he pulled out the revolver and fired three shots at her, two striking her.

WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION: IN AMERICA. A remarkable demonstration of the harm- lessness of the electric current under certain conditions has been given at the University of Michigan. Two students stood in a darkened laboratory holding an electric light bulb between them in their bare hands. A lever was pulled, and the electric bulb suddenly lighted the room, showing a human electric wire-the arms of the two students through whom the current ran. Professor Benjamin F. Bailey, who conducted the experiment, explained how a 500,000 volt current of elec- tricity may be made harmless and agreeable. It is done by means of an apparatus called the transformer, which, roughly described, is a box 2ft. long. 1ft. high, and 1ft. wide, filled with oil. Immersed in the oil are two coils of heavy wire, one of four turns and one of two. The 100 voltage of the current in the small coil was increased thousands of times in passing through the larger coil. The electric current used came direct from a dynamo with an out- put of 15 amperes at 110; volts. It passed through two step-up transformers, the first one raising it to 5,000 volts, a current destruo tive to human life. Then it went directlyj into the odd transformer described. The effect was tremendous. The fatal current of 5,000 volts had 240 alternations a second. This new current had 800,000 alternations a second. The current had been transformed from 5,000 to 500,000 volts, and was now harmless. There are two theories to explain the harmlessness of this current. According to one it alternates with such extreme rapidity that the electri- city has no time to act on the muscles nor communicate its impulses to the nerves. The other theory holds that the current does not enter the body at all, but passes over the out- side.

BRIDGE COLLAPSES. TRACTION ENGINE AND MEN IN A ? RIVER. A startling accident has occurred in Sussex. The bridge over the River Ouse, close to TJckfield Station, suddenly collapsed, throwing into the river a traction engine drawing two empty truoks and the men with it, and carrying down the roadway and gas and water pipes. The men, fortunately, were rescued unhurt, save for cute and bruises, ready assistance being given by Mr. G. P. Hughes, a London coasting engineer, who had himself jta&t crossed the bridge when the structure went to pieces. Mr. Hughes promptly turned hie attention to the escaping gas and water, and got the turncocks and gas foreman to shut off the mains. The police were quickly on the spot and stopped the traffic. A motor-car and some cyclists, on their way down the hill approaching the bridge, were warned in the nick of time to prevent further disaster. One serious result of the incident is that the only main road to the station from the town is now cut off, and a detour of some miles will be imposed on vehicular traffic. There is a footbridge over the river at the station, and this fortunately for pedestrians, was not carried away with the other. r

REMARKABLE CRIMINAL CAREER. George Frederick Seymour Barton, known as "Lord Barrington," and many other names, has been arrested at St. Louis on a charge of murdering James P. JUL Cann, a former race- horse owner, whose nude body was found in an open stone quarry. It is admitted that Barton had been with M'Cann at Suburban Park on the night of the latter's dis- appearance. Barton has had a most remarkable career in nearly every civilised country of the world. He was born near Tunbridge Wells, in 1858, and was arrested when seven years old on a charge of incendiarism. When eighteen years old he stole R-16,000, and was sentenced to ten years. He served four years, and then obtained a pardon by forging the name of the then Home Secretary. After that he spent nine years in the prisons of France, Germany, Spain, and India. In 1889 he went to New York. There he met Miss Celestine Elizabeth Miller at a ball in the Lyric-hall, and married her a few days later. He took her to England, and deserted her in 1892. He committed many daring burglaries at West Brighton, and was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment., In 1902 he returned to New York, and on December 1, 1902. he married a young Canadian woman, but deserted her two days later. On January 22, 1903. he married Wilhelmina Grace Cochran, of St. Louis, representing himself to be Lord Barrington. When his true story was discovered by his wife's relatives efforts were made to annul the marriage.

FEEDING HIS PRISONER. Charles Harding, 32, sweep, of Church-street, Borough, S.E., was charged on remand I before the Croydon county magistrates) with burglary, and stealing a watch and other articles, value £11, the property of William Brown.—Prosecutor, a cowman, residing at Rose Cottages, Sanderstead, Kenlsy, stated that, being awakened by the rattling of keys in his bedroom at half-past three on Sunday morning, he sprang out of bed, and seeing prisoner, called out, "Hands up," and seized prisoner, who at once handed over the watch and other articles which had been taken from the drawers. Prosecutor then took prisoner downstairs and offered him some bread and meat, but no drink, as he had none. Prisoner was supplied with some sacks for bedding, and prosecutor locked him in a loose cowshed while he went for the police. Police-constable Dye duly arrived and found the captive, whom he took to the station. On the road he said, "Yes, I did it," and explained thVLt he surren- dered because he thought prosecutor* had a shooter.—Police-constable 91 W said that the bolts of the front door of prosecutor's house would withdraw if the door were repeatedly pushed.—The accused was committed for trial.

STABBED BY A SOLDIER. William Smith, a private i ibe South Lan- cashire Regiment, was sent to gaol for three months at Manchester for stabbing an old woman named Maria Butler. The complaina-nt met the soldier on fridy night in Deansgate as she was vcukirg heme. He made her go down an entry itl him, and he then struck her with his fist ant! scabbed her in the neck with a pocket knife. A police- inspector came to the rescue ou hearing the screams of the woman, and toot Smith, who was mad drunk, into At the police station he said he was son -? > e had rot done for the woman, declaring 3 such as she who robbed pensioners of t mom y.

CAPE ABDUCTION CASE. CHARGE AGAINST CAPTAIN GAR- DINER WITHDRAWN. At Bow-street on Saturday Captain C. A. P. Gardiner was taken, somewhat unexpectedly, before Mr. Fenwiok, he having been remanded by Mr. Marsham to appear before him on July 1.—Detective-sergeant Ferrett. who had specially brought Captain Gardiner from Brixton Prison, handed Mr. Fenwick an official-looking document.—Mr. Fenwick said it was an intimation from the Agent-General that the local authorities at Cape Town wished the proceedings against Captain Gardiner to be withdrawn. He would, there- fore, be dicharged.—Captain Gardiner, there- fore, left the dock, looking highly delighted. As he had been unable to obtain two sureties in EI,000 each, he had been in custody since Jnne 5. The girl in the case sailed from Southampton for Cape Town on Saturday afternoon. Above are fac-similee of the signatures of Captain Gardiner and the girl who figured with him in the Cape abduction case. The signatures were written on a photograph of the Runic (the vessel upon which the parties sailed) and are preserved by a Cardiff gentle- man for whom they were written. The mar- gin all round the photograph is filled with autographs of passengers who were on board the Rome, and among them are the two repro- duced.

FOREIGN ROGUES IN LONDON DETECTIVES EFFECT A CLEVER CAPTURE. At Worship-street Police-court, London, David Weinstone, 42, a Roumanian, and described as a general dealer, of Maidmans- street, Burdett-road, Bow, and Roeen Soulman, alias Kaplan, a Russian, 61. and describing himself as a bricklayer, but giving a false address, were charged with attempting to obtain by false pretenceB from Detective-ser- geant Wensley £ 2,228. Detective-inspector Divall explained to the magistrate that the prisoners tried to sell as gold dust about 901b. of brass filings, and that when he arrested them on Saturday night they were padded both on the backs and chests with the brass filings sewn into canvas bags. Wein- stone, when asked what he had round his body, replied, "It is all over; you will see it is brass dust." Soulman said, You have only got me for attempting. I did not get the money. I first learned how to do it in Mainz. The law is different in this country to what it is in others. That is why I wanted to get a buyer in another country." 'This was all the evidence that was offered. A remand was granted. The police have for some time been looking for members of the famous Riga Gold Frauds gang, who have made thousands of pounds by disposing of brass filings for gold dust. Some years ago several members of this gang were arrested in Russia, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude. Since then, however, frauds on a most extensive scale have been going on all over the Continent, and the police of all the big Continental cities have been most anxious to secure the arrest of the gang. Their whereabouts, however, could not be discovered till some six weeks ago, when Detective- inspector Divall received information that two men, who were adopting very similar methods to those employed by the Riga gang, were operating in the East End of London, and, as the result of some very smart work on the part of the police, Weinstone and Soulman were arrested. Some six weeks ago these two men got in touch with the clerk of a wealthy City merchant. The clerk gave information to the police, and Detective- inspector Divall was placed in charge of the case. A large well-furnished house was at once taken by the police in an aristocratic South London suburb, and Detective-sergeant Wensley was put in resi- dence there aa a wealthy City man prepared to buy gold. The clerk introduced him to Soulman, who in turn introduced "General" Weinstone. Then the negotiations for the pwrclias* of the money commenced. Samples of real gold were shown to Sergeant Wensley, who, after due deliberation, agreed to give £ 2.229 for about 901b. weight of gold filings--a price which was about 35 per cent. below the market value. The prisoners did everything in their power to show that the transaction was a genuine one, and frequent telegrams were received from Russia in reference to the purchase. Eventually a telegram came, say- ing that the gold filings had been despatched. The prisoners suggested that the gold" should be handed over in Paris or Antwerp. but Sergeant Wensley said it must be sent to London, and he arranged to receive it at a certain place in the East-end last Saturday night. During this time the prisoners had been em- ploying a man in the East-end to file up brass at 2s. ad., a lb., and it is estimated that the preparations for the sale of these brass filings for £ 2.228 have cost at least JE30. At eight o'clock on Saturday night Detec- tive-inspector Divall, Detective-sergeants Lee and Wensley, and Detective Leseon kept a very close observation on Maidmans-street, Bur- dett-road. Soulman was observed to leave with a black bag and go to the Great Eastern Hotel, where he met the "General." Then they got into a "growler" and drove off to the arranged meeting place. Before arriving there, however, they were overtaken by the police, who jumped into the cab and found the two men, as described by Detective-in- spector Divall, padded with brass filings.

SUICIDfc<qs A CONFESSIONAL BOX. An inquest w^ heM at Ennis. Ireland, on Mrs. Sullivan, tmistreØ8 of Corefin, who was found dead in a Confessional box in Ennis Soman Catholic Cathedral with her throat cut. She -^ited Ennis on Thursday, and drew £ 2% from ti,e bank subsequently giving some leiN, documents and a Post Office Savings Bank bofor £50 to her ulster, with instructions to give ie her father. Later a lady resembling ilrs. Soijivan pur- chased a. razor in a local shop, was the same make as the blood-stained one nd in the confessional box. The medical evidence showed that the wounds were self-inflicted, that life had been extinct many hours before the body was found. A stepson of the de- ceased stated that she had been failing physically and mentally for some time. She had recently been very much depressed. Only 2E. 8d. was found on the body, and deceased's I sister said no money had been given her. A verdict of "Suicide while temporarily insane" was returned. The police are endeavouring to trace the missing £250.

A SAVAGE PRISONER. Police-constable John Woodward (46a) appeared in the witness-box at Cardiff Police- court on Wednesday with his hand bandaged. The little finger had been broken, and the constable alleged that it happened in the eourse of a tussle with Walter Southwell, 26, a sailor, whom he charged with assaulting him in Mlllicent-street. It seemed that at a !quarter-past eleven last night Woodward came a Southell fighting with another man. Accused said "he wouldn't be locked up for nothing." and made a running kick at the r constable, which fetched him under -the j mouth. When near the Hayes Bridge prisoner twisted his leg round the officer and threw Mm, breaking his finger in the struggle. Primmer wac sent for one montb,

STORY OF A SILLY MAN. AMUSING ACTION IN THE KING'S BENCH DIVISION. In the King's Bench Division (before Mr. Justice Darling and a common jury) Mr. Thompson NeaJe sued Messrs. Marsh and Sons, carmen and contractors, for com- pensation for damages caused by the removal, without his consent, of furniture from the house in which he was living at Rochford. The defence" as that the goods were removed under the instructions of Mrs. Harriet Neale, plaintiff's wife. Mr. Jones said that when the plaintiff returned to his home one day in September, 1901. he found that his wife had left and that practically all the furniture had been taken away. It was over a year before he found out that the goods had been brought to Chelmsford. Finding his home broken up was such a shock to him that he suffered greatly from brain fever, and had never been quite well since. Mr. Neale, the plaintiff, said that some of the furniture once belonged to his second wife, but he considered it became his property when he married her in 1880. The goods which had been taken away without his consent would hardly realise £300 at an auction, but they were worth a great deal to him. Mr. Lush: You have been in many occupa- tions?—Oh, yes. I have been in a number of funny things. Tell us some of them?—Well, I married in 1867. That was the first. (Laughter.) We married without the consent of our parents. That was the second. Then we were parted because we hadn't consulted our parents. We communicated with each other without telling anyone about it. That was the third silly thing I did. My wife used to go on long visits, and I would take a situa- tion near where she was staying, so as to he near my young girl wife. I considered I was right in doing so. You were a footman once?—Was I? I don't remember it. Are you sure?—My wife told me she was going to visit a friend in the country. I went to the house and asked the gardener if he would leave if I gave him £2. He said he would not leave for £2, but would take a "fiver" and go. I had plenty of money then, so gave him the £5 and paid his lodgings also. I then applied at the house for a situation as gardener, but they didn't like the look of me, and would not have me. (Laughter.) How- ever, an "odd" man left, and I applied for his post and got it. That was the fourth silly thing. His Lordship: But it was to be near your wife? (Laughter.)—Yes, sir, I loved the young girl so much that I went to work as an "odd" man, so as to be near her. His Lordship: Mr. Lush, you have elicited what would be very useful to a dramatic author. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Lush: Did you sell any of the furniture that was left?—To whom? To a Mr. Bishop?—Do you mean the Bishop of Rochford, or the man who gets drunk? (Laughter.) Are there two bishops?—Yes. One is a very respectable man. Well, did you sell him anything?—Yes, I sold him a bedstead and I forget what the other thing was. I rather believe it was a rocking-horse. (Laughter.) His Lordship: Perhaps it was a towel-horse. (Laughter.) Witness: So it was. (Loud laughter.) I am glad you reminded me, because now that I think of it he owes me 5s. for it. The jury, without retiring, found for the defendant.

WILD SCENE IN THE DOCK. At Worship-street Police-court, London, Ellen Davey, aged 30, a tall woman, with a badly bruised face, was charged with assault- ing Annie Collis. and with creating a distur- bance in the street.—Police-constable 353 J proved the latter part of the charge, the pri- soner being in an intoxicated state and very violent in Little Cambridge-street, Bethnal- green. He also proved that four times during the present year the prisoner had been con- victed of similar conduct. She had only been released from prison on Monday morning after a sentence of a month.—Annie Collis, the pro- secutrix, said the prisoner had been' her lodger for five months past, but had been in prison four months out of .that time. She had tried to get rid of her, but the prisoner always got in. On Monday evening, having got drunk, ehe struck witness in the face at her door, tore off her apron, and tried to claw her.—Mr. Cluer said that as the prisoner had been so often convicted, she must find a surety for her good behaviour for twelve months, or be kept in prison for three months.—Imme- diately on hearing the sentence the prisoner, whose temper had been rapidly rising, burst out into violent invective, threatened the pro- secutrix to "mark her" when she came out, took off her heavy straw hat and dashed it across the court at her, and tried to get over the dock. She was seized and removed screaming.

LIFE IN A LONDON FLAT. Lomse Zipp, 24, was charged at Bow-street Police-court, London, with attempting to commit suicide. Thomas Wells, oaretaker at King Edward's- mansions, Shaftesbury-avenue, stated that the prisoner lodged with a Mr. and Mrs. Seymour, who occupied No. 7 flat there. He understood that Mr. Seymour was a farmer in Essex, -but he slept at the mansions a few nights every week. On Friday there was a. great noise at No 7 flat, and the witness on going up there found the prisoner and Mr. Seymour strug- gling on the floor, the man bleeding from the nose. The prisoner complained of having been robbed. At about two o'clock that morn- ing the witness saw her leaving the mansions carrying a portmanteau. About a quarter to ten o'clock the same morning he found her lying in a corridor at the mansions with a razor in her hand and a wound on her neck. She eaid fthe wanted to kill herself, and he gave her into custody. The prisoner said she paid jE6 a week for her lodgings in the flat, and, although she did not owe a halfpenny rent, she had been turned out because it had been ascertained that she had complained to the magistrate at this court about the conduct of a man. She was remanded.

ROTHERHITHE SHOOTING CASE. William James Ahern, 33, dock labourer, was charged on remand at Southwark Police- court, London, with shooting James Wil- ton, at Plough-road, Rotherhithe, on June 15. The two men had been working at the Surrey Commercial Docks. They quarrelled and fought there, and Ahern got the worse of it. He then went home to Cornbnry-road and fetched a revolver loaded in six chambers, and went back towards the docks to meet Wilton, at whom he fired five shots. One bullet wounded Wilton in the back, and two spent bullets were found in his right sock. Wilton had now recovered sufficiently to attend the ccurt and give evidence. Inspector Lawrence, who took the charge, said the revolver was a very common weapon, which accounted for the spent bulleta. Ahern remarked: "He wouldn't have been here if the first shot had not missed fire. I intended finishing him; it would have been a job for Billington." Replying to the usual caution, the prisoner reserved his defence. He was committed for trial at the Old Bailey for attempted murder.

A BOY HERO. When Miss Masters arrived at her widowed mother's house in Bolingbroke-road, West Kensington Park, London, about five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon she found her thirteen- year-old brother lying cut. bruised, and un- conscious on the landing, with a sword in his hand. Medical aid was sent for, and when the boy had partially recovered be had a start- ling tale to tell. He came home from school, he said, entered the house by the back door, and on going to the dining-room found two burglars feasting* sumptuously. He was terrified, and rushing upstairs, seized a sword, ran back into the room, and slashed at the intruders. Then one of them struck him down, and he remembered no more. An examination of the house resulted in the discovery of a parcel of silver plate, which had evidently been tied up by the burglars and abandoned when the boy made his gallant attack on them. On Tuesday it was reported that an arrest had been made.

INSPECTION OF RABIES. An inspection of all the babies in New York is the Herculean humanitarian task which has been begun by the newly-organised Infant Corps of the Department of Health. The corps includes 43 physicians and seventeen nurses, who will visit the parents or guardians of all babies born since last Augu it until now. They will instruct the mothers as to the use of artificial foods, the general rare of infants, and especially the treatment of summer troubles. The impression that the tenement sections of the city alone are to be visited is erroneous, as rich as well aB. poor mothers are to be instructed in baby lore, and aided to care for their infants through the hot weather. It is believed that the high rate of mortality among intents during the hot weather will be materially reduced by the working of this corps.

POISON IN A BARRACKS. I A telegram from Buda. Pest announces that a whole company of infantry soldiers in gar- rison at Bekes Cfaba has just been poisoned in a mysterious fashion. All the military doc- tors, together with the doctors in the town, were called in. The soldiers suffered agonis- ing pains. The poison was in the food which ths soldiers ate, but how it came there has not been ascertained. An inquiry into the mys- terious affair baa been started,

A WIDOWER'S TROUBLES. SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS BROTHER. An inquest was held in London on Thomas Carr, aged 34, a widower, who committed suicide by shooting himself at the door of the house where lodged a young woman to whom he was engaged to be married. Robert Carr, brother of the de«eased, said that on Wednesday night he called at a publlC-house with his brother, who spoke having a lot of trouble on his mind, and said this would be the last drink he would take. His brother had been worried over the loss of his wife, who died ten months ago. As they were walking along Thomas suddenly hung back, and immediately afterwards wit- ness heard a shot a.nd felt a bullet whizz past his face. Turning round he saw his brother with the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth, and immediately he fired again and fell to the ground. He did not move afterwards. Two letters were found on the deceased, one addressed to his fiancee and the other to "the public," as follows:—"May Almighty God for- give me for this act. I am driven to it by des- pair. There was no better couple than I and my dear beloved wife; no better woman to man, and no better man to woman; and yet it is decreed that, happy as we were, we should be parted at a time when I wanted her most, leaving me with four young children to look after. The struggle began, and I was fool enough to think I had sympathy. I did at first, but I very soon found out my mistake, for as time went on the sympathy abated, and instead I got maligned and talked about by those I thought were my friends; and so, whilst I was bearing my terrible loss, my old friends left me, till I had none left to give me a word of cheer. Then came the trouble with housekeepers, the letting of my empty rooms. my being let in the hole for rent, and lots of paltry little things such as knives, forks, cups, and saucers, and what-not; and then when I was going through the terrible ordeal, what wonder was it that I thought of another wife and another mother for my poor children. When I was at last seen walking out with another woman I was the worst man in crea- tion; and so the world goes on. A man is left with a. young family to bring up as best he can—for, assuredly, he gets no help from any- one. If he thinks he would benefit with another wife, and his children with another mother, it is not right. So what can a man do. It is impossible for me to live longer." The jury returned a verdict of suicide whilst temporarily insane.

DOCTORS AND VACCINATION. CONFLICTING OPINIONS AS TO A CHILD'S DEATH. At an inquiry held by the West Ham coroner (Mr. G. E. Hilleary) some con- flicting medical opinions were forthcoming as 10 the part played by vaccination in regard to the death of the four-months'-old son of a Forest-gate postman, named Webb. It was stated that the child was quite healthy up to the time he was vaccinated by Dr. Bobb-Smith, one of the public vaccinators, but the next day became sickly. Before death the child was seen by Dr. Fitzgerald Thomas, who came to the conclusion, after a post-' mortem examination, that the cause of death I was meningitis, and that vaccination was a contributory cause. The inquest had been adjourned in order that a second post-mortem examination might be made. Dr. Arthur Clifford Dornforth, the police divisional surgeon for Bow, who made the second examination, said that he had come to the conclusion that the death of the child was due to pneumonia, and not meningitis. Dr. A. Robb-Smith stated that the child waa vaccinated in the usual way. He used Govern- ment lymph for the child, and vaccinated eleven other children that day from the same parcel of lymph, and had heard no other complaints. By the Jury: If the child had seemed un- healthy he would have examined it and have postponed the vaccination. He did not, as a fact. examine the child to see the state of its health. Vaccination did usually set up dis- turbance and trouble, but he did not think that in this case vaccination had hastened death. Dr. Thomas said that, so far as the cause of death was concerned, in his opinion menin- gitis was primary and broncho-pneumonia secondary. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after an absence of close on half an hour, the Foreman said they could not come to any conclusion as to the actual cause of death, but that they were agreed that vaccination had hastened the death, and that there had been some carelessness in vaccinating the child without first examining it as to its health. Mr. Schultess Young" suggested a verdict of Death from natural causes, accelerated by vaccination," but this the coroner declined to agree, and the jury again retired. On their return, the Foreman said they had unani- mously come to the conclusion that death was due to meningitis, and that vaccination was a contributory cause of the child's death.

WEST END JEWELLERY ROBBERY. Clara Toogood, 22, a servant, was charged at Marylebone Police-court, London, with stealing a diamond and turquoise ring and a diamond bow brooch, worth £25, the property of Helen Harrison, who resides at Park-place Villas, Paddington. The Prosecutrix said the prisoner had been her servant a fortnight. On Friday morning she missed the jewellery in qaestion from the dressing-table in her bedroom. When she looked for the prisoner she found she had left the house, without notice, leaving her luggage behind. Detective-sergeant Barrett, F, said he stopped the prisoner in Ladbrooke-grove the previous night, and asked her how she came by the diamond brooch she had in her pos- session. She replied that a barman gave it to her about three months ago. She did not know his name or address. She gave her name as Edith Mansfield. After being arrested on suspicion she admitted that the brooch be- longed to her mistress, who lived at Park- place Villas. At the station he asked if she had any other property belonging to her mis- tress, and she produced a diamond ring. The prisoner pleaded guilty and was re- manded.

A PAINFUL CASE. At Southwark Police-court, London, Edna Norton, eighteen, was charged, on remand, with stealing from a house in Union- road, Borough, three diamond rings, value £10, the property of Mrs. Winifred Challen.— The prosecutrix said the prisoner lodged at her house with a man who purported to be her husband, and went away with these rings. When arrested the prisoner said she com- mitted the robbery for the sake of her unborn child.—The Lady Missionary said the girl appeared to be afraid of the man who got her into trouble. He had great influence over' her, and had been exerting it during the week. She had been on remand, with the result that she was disciplined to be helped by her. But for his interference some arrangement could have been settled. He had made several promises, but had not kept any. The girl's parents were very respectable.—On the under- standing that the prisoner would go to a home pending the birth of her child, Mr. Paul Taylor bound her over to appear at the oourt in eight weeks' time. The magistrate com- menced to address the prisoner about the young man, when she swooned away and was removed out of court. —

A FAMILY MURDERED. A telegram from Lemberg gives particulars of a terrible family drama near there, a peasant, named Johann Linck, murdering his five children in their beds and afterwards committing suicide. The family was in great distress, and Linck determined to put an end tc the misery which his wife and children endured. Taking advantage of the absence of his wife, who had left the district to visit a sick relative, he took a razor and cut the throats of his five children, whose ages ranged from four months to eight years. After com- mitting the deed he entered a public-house and drank several glasses of gin. The land- lord drew his attention to bloodstains on his clothes. I have just been killing a pig," he coolly replied. After leaving the public-house he went to bed and cut his throat.

A NURSES FRAUD. At Cheltenham Police-cot rt a nurse, named Clara Ewbank, was charged with endeavouring to obtain charitable con- tributions by false pretences. It was alleged she represented herself as authorised to collect funds for establishing a sick poor medical benefit club in connection with the Victoria Nursing Home, and it was shown by Miss Bladen, superintendent of the home, that no such authority was given her. She had also represented herself as the widow of a doctor who had died in the South African War. The bench sent her to gaol for fourteen days.

STORY OF A MIDNIGHT VISIT. -CHARGE OF STEALING A LADY'S JEWELLERY. George Doggett, 31. alias Gilbert, of Char- lotte-street, Portland-place, was charged at Marylebone with stealing, on June 23, from 7, Chester-place, Regent's Park, several gold coins, two ladies' dress rings, two brooches, a bracelet, &c., worth £40, the property of Rose Neville. The prosecutrix, whose address on the charge-sheet was 14, Keppel-street, Russell- square, said she knew the prisoner, who six weeks ago tried to blackmail her for JE5. The Magistrate: What do you mean? Prosecutrix: I have known him, but not inti- mately, twelve months. On Derby Day, she went on to say, she received a telegram ask- ing her to meet him. She went, but failed to see him. On the Oaks Day she received a letter asking her to meet him at a public-house, and she met him. On Tuesday morning she went to bed about 1.15, leaving all her jewellery on her dressing-table. She woke up about half- past three o'clock, and found the prisoner standing near the room door looking at her. She screamed and shouted for the landlady, and then for the police. On getting up she missed all her property. The man must have got in by the dining-room window. She next saw him in the custody of the police. Cross-examined: She did not invite him to the house. She had used the name of Dolly Neville, but her right name was Rose. Prisoner: You know the nature of the busi- ness I wanted to see you about? Prosecutrix: You said something about a divorce ease which I was wanted in, and if I would give you 15 you could get £10 by letting my whereabouts be known. Mary Williams, the landlady, said she was called up, and she saw footmarks on the window-sill of the dining-room window. Detective-sergeant Gregory spoke to meeting the prisoner with two other men at Baker- street and arresting him. Doggett declared there had been a mistake. He saw an adver- tisement in a paper offering a reward for the name and address of a woman. He thought he could earn a sovereign, so he communi- cated with the advertiser, and made an appointment with her at a public-house. The man called to see her, but she was not the woman wanted. None of the property had been recovered. The accused was remanded.

JEWS IN RUSSIA. A Hombnrg telegram to the New York World" gives an interview with the Grand Duke Vladimir, the uncle of the Czar. The Grand Duke denied that the Jews in Russia, taken altogether, were unhappy. He deplored the massacres at Kiscliineff, but he declared that the agitation which brought it about was the work of outsiders. As an instance of the in- terference with the Jewish position in Russia, he mentioned the case of the petition drawn up by the citizens of the United States and handed to President Roosevelt for presenta- tion to the Russian Government, in which the alleged ill-treatment of the Jews in Russia, was denounced. He likened the Russian antipathy to the Jews to the feeling which the whites in the United States entertained towards the negroes, to the aversion which the English showed to the Irish, and to the hatred borne by the Roman Catholics against the Protes- tants in Ireland. There could be no question of any intervention by the United States in the internal affairs of Russia. Speaking upon the prospects of Siberia, the Grand Duke likened it to the American West, declaring that it had yet to be developed. when asked about the future of Manchuria he replied in- directly. It is Russia's mission to expand eastward—to go very far East indeed, whilst in the West it is only necessary for her to maintain her line of defence."—Central News.

CAPTIVE BALLOON ESCAPES. The captive balloon which for a week past had been fixed above the new site of the Water- loo Hospital for Children, at the corner of Waterloo-road and Stam ford-street, London, escaped from its moorings on Saturday morn- ing and made an unofficial journey of some 50 miles.
