Since that time the : have been hunting high and low r for> tH4 suspected murderer, but with no result Last month,r however, T a f man applied to Mr Wood, foreman at Messrs Morris Brothers’ chemical works on the Trent, at Stpckwith, for employment, and wits requested to call on Monday Wood*: who had been looking at the hills announcing a reward of LSOO for Taylor’s apprehension, was strati with the resemblance of the man to the pufc lished description and photograph. Yesterday morning, when he came to the works, Wood sent for a constable,' Fryer, and told him he had better arrest Taylor and ascertain if he was the. Bradford murderer. They went together to the lock-up, and the policeman- told him he should take him to Retford on suspicion. The prisoner was quiet, and was taken in a cart to he made an excuse to go into a : stabl& ; The constable and Mr Woodaccora .panied him, but heruanaged tor evade i them, and with a knife he made two icuts at his throat. The two men | secured the weapon, a : stretcher -was' I procured, and. the prisoner carried to the police, station, where he was at tended by Mr Hooker, who, finding the prisoner lay for a long time in a state .of stupor, applied a galvanic battery, which aroused him. The. doctor does not consider the wounds i dangerous. The prisoner is being closely iwatched by two : policemen. Captain Wethers, of Bradford, has just arrived, and identified the prisoner as Joseph Taylor.

I The New Cry* “Fair Trade” seems destined to supersede both “ Free Trade ”4 and H “ Protection. ” The cry for “ fair trade”* is in everyone’s mouth, A great meet ing, attended by upwards ,of 3,000 persons, .was held in Coventry, under the auspices of the Fair Trade League. M,r Sampson Lloyd contended that 'we must look to the producer quite as much as the consumer. The object of ihe Fair Trade League was not lo go back to Protecdbri,' as it was the .in-, terest of some to assert, but to prevent’ that one-sided Free Trade which, 1 .has been the pplipy; pf Y this country forthe past twenty years..

i Shocking Boat Accident on the Thames.

: Between 11 and 12 Sun day morning, September 1 4thy two -* youths, named Thomas aged ! xls, Hying at, Nol ia, ley-down, and John living with his ■mother at No. *6, ■ Thomas street, in the. same ; neighbor hood, left home about 10 o’clock far 1 the purpose of taking a walk. Both ■’> the youths were engaged .as r, letter .sorters in the General Post Office, St Martin’s-le-Grand. While they were;' proceeding along London-bridge it was' suggested they should take a pleasure boat, which they did at the nearest stairs, and proceeded towards street bridge. Through; some unac countable circumstance the craft came. ; violently athwart the abutement of the* bridge, the consequence being, that both the unfortunate boys were precipi- ■ tated into the water. At this moment a young man who was working at 1 a wjndlass on the wharf not far off per ceived the accident, andy. without wait ing to divest himself of his apparel, jumped in and swam towards; the spot;! Manser was seen to rise to the - sutface*- twice, but Fulchfer, according to tbe ; ' ,! statements ofspectators, appeared to dis appear beneath the boat.! Theat ten don of the crews of the Albert Edward,-. . ValeofClwyd, Alexandria, and other . steamboats which were lying near, as well, as Mr Kingsford, piermaster at London Bridge pier, were also directed to the accident, and boats were put off to the assistance of the drowning per sons, but, unfortunately, the youths had sank before help could be rendered to them. Several of the Thames police afterwards threw out the drags, and in less than half an hour the body p£ Thomas Manser was picked Up by Act-' ing-Inspector John Abnett. Manser’s s mother states that her son came. home frcjm the office about 9.30 a.m. and re marked that he had to return to the; office at three in the afternoon.. UpPa.;/ her suggesting that he -should gotfo :-:ui bed, he having been at work for eight' hours, he replied, “ I think I Have tod * much sleep, 1 think I want more put- : door exercise.” He then went out for. .y the purpose of buying a and - tl . never returned.
