THE DEATH "OF A LADY~CYCLIST. SUPPOSED OVER EXERTION. At Walsall, an inquest was held respecting the death of Fiances KtileBibh (18), Lysways Street, who died as the result of falling from her bicycle on the Birmingham Huad, between Great Barr and Perry Barr. Another cyclist who witnessed the occurrence stated that the deceased was riding at a medium pace on a level road, when she fell all in a heap." She was quite unconscious, and Dr. Shore, who attended her, found her suffering from a fracture of the base of the skull, accom- panied by pressure on the brain. Trepanning was performed by Dr. Gtimgee, of Birmingham, but deceased failed to rally. Dr. Shore, who stated that deceased was an auremicgirl, expressed thb opinion that she had brought on failure of the liearl's action by over exertion—climbing a steep JliIl. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

A PLATELAYEWS DYING WORDS. The other night the remains of Dipros White (33), a platelayer, late of 25, Laburnliam Road, Chertsey, were removed to the Lambeth mortuary to await an inquest. It appears that during the afternoon the deceased, having finished his work at Chertsey, crossed the line to fetch a basket, when a passenger train from Waterloo knocked liim down and passed over him. He was fearfully mutilated, but death was not instantaneous. The nnfortunate man was removed to Weybridge Station, where his mother saw her dying son. He was conscious, and said "Cheer up, mother, I am worth forty dead ones. I was crossing the metals to fetch my basket. I was knocked down by the train. I did not hear the driver blow his whistle." After being detained at Weybridge over two-and- a-half hoars, he was conveyed to Clapham Junc- tion, and thence to St. Thomas's Hospital, where the house surgeon found life to be extiuct.

HORRIBLE BURIAL STORY. BIRTH IN A COFFIN. The "Temps" publishes a dispatch from its Bordeaux correspondent, who states that particu- lars of a horribly tragic affair, which occurred at Pauillacearly in Octoher,have just becomeknown. It appears that on the arrival of the steamer La Plata the medical officer was informed of the ill- ness of a cabin passenger from Dakar, named Madame Bobin, who was in an advanced stage of (ireguancy. The medical officer of health, con- trary to the opinion of the ship's doctor, declared that the patient was suffering from yellow fever, and he ordered the vessel to undergo four days' quarantine. On the following day Madame Bobin was carried in a fainting condition to the disinfecting station. In the afternoon she was attacked with violent pains, but in spite of her Imsbaud's urgent representations, the medical officer of health said he had no means of delivering her. A few hours later she apparently expired. At eleven o'clock on the following morning her foody, although still warm, was wrapped in iv wet sheet and placed in a coffin between two layers of sulphate of copper and the coffin was then buried. It was subsequently exhumed, and a medical examination ot the body showed that a child had been born in the coiiiu, and that the mother's remains revealed no trace of an epidemic disease. The matter has been referred to the Public Prosecutor.

A WITCH'S DEN. LUCRATIVE PARISIAN BUSINESS. In a seeminglyquietandtinpretending two-storey house of Charenton, Paris, the police have lately discovered a very completely fitted up witches' den. Nothing of the machinery and apparatus of sorcery was wanting. It appears that a gang of professional witches and sorcerers have lived in this den for the past year. They had a large practice in the neighbourhood among invalids, whom they professed to cure by magic among the plain, to whom they promised beauty among the poor, whom they were to enrich and among the unlucky, to whom they were to bring good fortune by supernatural means. Once their victims had been allured into the den they plied sldHully upon them every source of conjuring, reducing them to a state of abject terror and blind belief in the supernatural agencies supposed to be set at work by the quacks. The gang of sorcerers thus preyed most successfu II y upon credulity of the inhabitants of Charenton, having made, it is stllled,over £4,000 in less than a year's practice. The arrest of the liead magician, called by his followers, the Man of Brass, has led to the discovery of the den and to the arrest of the sorcerers.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT IPSWICH. An Ipswich correspondent telegraphs that a shocking tragedy was enacted there the other even- ing. A labourer, named Thwaites, killed his wife and himself and nearly murdered a man named Hudson. Mrs. Thwaites had left her husband and gone to keep house for Hudson. Thwailcs went to the house and locked the door, and when the police broke in he was found lying dead on the floor with a revolver in one hand and a long knife in the other. His wife, stabbed and shot, was found dead by his side. Hudson escaped, seriously injured.

SUNDAY TRADING CONTROVERSY. AN IMPORTANT POINT. At Woolwich Police Court, seven hair-dressers were summoned by the Woolwich District Hair- dressers' Association for exercising their trade contrary to Act 29 of Charles II., ch. 7.—Mr. Greenes* prosecuted, and said he had two witnesses in each case to prove that the defendants carried on their calling on Sundays. He maintained that hairdressingwasft. "trade" within the meaning of the Act in question.—Mr. Paul Taylor said it was a big question which had never been tried in London before. lIe was of opinion that shaving and hair-cutting was not a trade. A hairdresser simply sold his labour. To constitute trade there must be a traffic in goods. If a hairdresser sold a newspaper or a bottle of pomade he would be prepared to convict; but he doubted whether shaving or hair-cutting on a Sunday was a le^al offence.—Mr. Cireeness stated that all the defend- ants had their shops open, the shutters down, find goods exposed for sale in the windows.—His Worship said he thought there might, he some. thing in the latter, and he would line the defend- ants one penny each without costs. If they asked for a case he should be happy to grant it. --<b-

WOMEN PRINTERS IN RUSSIA. There exists in Moscow a printing-house where only women are employed. It was founded by Madame llerbeck, who has been engaged in printing for thirty-six years. Woik begins at eight o'clock a.m., and ends at G p.m., with an bom's interval for dinner. The woman's paper in Paris-La Fronde.—^ives the number of work- women in this printing-house as eighty. They have two weeks' holiday at Christmas, and a week and a half at the time of great Russian feasts. It is Madame llerbeck's opinion that the work ia done better now that women execute it. HUSBAND'S LIABILITY. s HE MUST PAY FOR HIS WIFE'S WRONG DOING. Is a husband responsible for the wrong-doing of his wife? One form of this question was raised before Mr. Justice Byrne in an act ion arising out of the money borrowillg transactions of Mrs. Georgina Kings- cote. In July of last year Mrs. Kinpiscote asked Mrs. Mabel Earle, a widow lady, to raise £2,000 in the purchase of some shares, on the basis that one lialf of the shares in question should belong to Mrs. Earle, and the other half to Mrs. Kingscote, who was to be responsible for any loss Mrs. Earle might incur. As an inducement to Mrs. Earle 10 enter into the transaction Mrs. Kingscote told her that she (Mrs. Kingscote) would thus be able in three months' time to pay £5,300 which she had pre- viously borrowed. Mrs. Earle agreed, nnd the was paid over to Mrs. Kingscote, who subsequently announced that she had bought the shares, though as a matter of fact she had not done so. As the result of suit brought by Mrs. Earle, Mr. Justice Byrne gave jndgment against MnJ. Kingscote for £2,000, and holding Mr. Kingscote to be responsible for bis wife's torts," also gav. Jndament wainsh him for the sum of £1.500. ■ ■ 1 ■ "H

INTERESTING DISCOVERY. White digging at Bottisham Lode, about seven miles from Newmarket, some men came across a piece of bog oak, about. 100ft. long, in a r/lendid stale of preservation. On split ting it part of the tree they saw an aperture, and oil more cfosely examining it found a perfect honeycomb, in which were some dead bees. There can he little doubt thattheaperture was downwards when the tree fell and thus imprisoned the bees. Several naturalists who have seen the curiosity are of opinion that the oak has been lying in the peat and gault for hundreds of years. It is certain that it must hare been there a very long time, as it was several feet below the surface.

FAULT OF THE GOVERNMENT. WHY LONDON FOGS ARE TO BE BLACKER THIS WINTER. Clouds of hlncr. smoke, spread over Westminster by the local Electric Supply Corporation, have lately helped to thicken the fogs of London. Summoned before Mr. Horace Smith to explain this transgression against the Public Health Act, Mr. Jago, secretary of the corporation, put forward the excuse that the British Government were responsible. They had annexed all the available supply of smokeless coal. We have done everything in our power," said Mr. Jago, in tones of despair, "and we cannot help it. We are bound by our Acts under penalties to supply the public with the light. That is our first duty." "No," retorted the magistrate, "your first obligation is not to poison the atmosphere with foul smoke." "Their defence," remarked the solicitor for the vestry, is that they are between the devil and the deep sea. (Laughter.) There are two previous convictions—one resulting in an abatement order, and the other in a line of 910." "The penalty goes on increasing," concluded Mr. Smith. This time it must be a fine of f.20 and a guinea casts."

CYCLIST v. CLERGYMAN. Riding lip Midllle Temple Lane on his bicycle, with his Imllp lit and his bell ringing, a cautious barrister's clerk came into contact with a reverend gentleman from Brixton. "Yon murderous blackguard, how dare you ? exclaimed the pedestrian. The cyclist, conscious of virtue, and beHeving that the clergyman had deliberately walked into his front wheel, leaped from his machine to demand all apology. According to the complaillt; which the cleric made at the Mansion House Justice Room, the Rev. Professor Bradshaw, instead of apologising knocked out one of the clerk's teeth with an umbrella. The clergyman denied the assault, alleging that he confined himself strictly to the strong language already quoted. Declaring that he had saved many lives from the ravages of the cyclist, he thought lie deserved the thanks of the community. It was clear, said Sir R. Hanson, that the clergy. man lost his temper. He should fine him 5s. and 3s. costs.

TERRIFIC HURRICANE. CAUSES A NUMBER OF SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IN VIENNA. The terrible hurricane which blew here the other night caused a number of serious accidents. A trlli stroiigly-iiiiilt iiittn was hurled against the wall of a house with such violence that lie broke his arm and collar-bone. A workman who was caught in the same way broke his left leg. A woman was blown against a lamp-post and sustained severe injuries. Chimney pots were blown off in dozens, and in a number of houses in exposed positions entire window frames, glass, woodwork, and all were shattered to atoms. At the cemetery the gravestones, which had been blown clean out of the earth, were found lying in all directions. There have been heavy snowstorms throughout the provinces.

SWEPT OFF A BUS. At the Kent Assizes, George Frost, bus thiver, of Chatham, was indicted for the manslaughter of Thomas Sndweeks, fitter, whose death was the result of a terrible fracture of the skull. It was alleged that accused was racing with another bus, and that while passing the other vehicle ha drove under some trees, the overhanging boughs of which swept the deceased into the road. One witness put the speed at which the prisoner's Tmsi was travelling at 14 miles an hour. The defence set up was that one of Frost's horses shied at a lamp. Accused swore that lie was not racing, and said it was not the first time the same horse had shied. The jury returned a verdict of "Nut guilty." Justice Wills, discharging the prisoner, told him lie was a very fortunate man, adding that the jury probably did not know that he lia;i already been three times convicted of furious dr iving.•

ANOTHER SPACE TO P.E VACANT. The directors of Hindes, Limited, have deter- mined to cancel their participation iu the Paris exhibition. The exhibit of Messrs. Hindes was to have been the sole representation of thru toilet brush industry of Great Britain, and would have been of excep- tional interest, from the fact that it was proposed to portray the progress made in this particular industry, as well as showing the actual prize medal exhibit from the exhibition of 1851, inaugr* rated by the Prince Consort in .'Hyde Park.

HOW POCKETS ARE, PICKED. Arthur Simpson, 27, labourer, at Clerkenwell Sessions pleaded guilty to stealing a match box and other articles, value 25s from the person of Charles Edward Mortimer, :< solicitor practising in the Strand. It was stated that the modus operandi adopted by the prisoner was to hold a bundle of news- papers immediately in front of his victims, and under cover of this rifle their pockets. Jlis favourite resorts were railway termini and other places where people are in the habit of congregat- ing. Mr. M'Coilliel I said he was determined to donl* he could to clear the streets of thieves like Simp- son, and he sent him to three years' penal servi- tude.

HOW A BODY WAS FOUND. The keen sighledness of science has just been aptly illustrated at Niagara Falls, writes a. Toronto correspondent. A biograph picture of the Grand Trunk Rail- way Bridge over the gorge was taken, and when developed was thrown oil the canvas of a music- hall. It was then noticed for the lirgt; time that the body of a man was being tossed about in the boiling waters. Search was made at the spot, and the body of a missing and well-advertised suicide waa pulled out of the current.
