THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE DISAS TER.

The San Francisco mail brings the. following account of the terrible catas trophe which occurred recently in New York:—On the afternoon of May 30th, aix days after the bridge in New YorF had been open' to the -public,' U • terrible disaster occurred, resulting from'a email t at the New York approach, involving the hilling of fourteeh people and wounding many others. The crush began shortly before four o’clock. At that hour there were thousands of people on the bridge, mostly coming from Brooklyn. The air was dear'and brisk, and the people walked as rapidly as they could to approach the short flight of steps. Those in front jumped back for tear they would b~ pre cipitated over the flight a distance of about sis;,fset; these people, in drawing Igusk from the steps, made a nucleus for a panic, for thousands behind them pushed «p r - Almost instantly people begun to shoilt, " Stand back “ Give us room.” Meanwhile the crowd from New York, which was at the foot of the steps, got blocked. Men at the of the New York crowd fought their way back, leav ing clear space at the steps. The shouting and crowding from Brooklyn still in creased, and people .in the advance guard of the Brooklyn'crowd were pushed for ward. They seemed to have a horror of. going over the steps. 'They locked arms and pushed furiously back against 'thou sands cording steadily over from Brooklyn. In minutes at a- point near the five steps, there was a slew yielding of the frightful pressure from behind, and the front of the crowd was, forced forward near the edge of the steps. Women and children were crying for -help, men stand ing confusedly,,and parcels and cases were throwxffcver by 4 people who needed their hands InTlHhli Quiii uiirnnt of |the des perate crowd. At last, with a single shout that cut through the clamor of a thousand voices, a young girl who lost her-foot ing on the perilous edge, fell head long and struck the hatchway at the foot of the steps, and lay for a mo ment. She raised herself on her hands and would have got up, but in another moment she was buried four deep under the bodies of others, who fell over the steps after. She was dead when they got her out more than an hour after. Men sprang up on the rails at the side and waved the crowd back from the New York end, but people continued to throng forward to the steps. The police were in sight, and the very great excitement grew worse. Men in the crowd lifted their children above their heads to . save them from the crush. People were still paying their pennies at both gated and squeezing in. At last the people at tjie New York end > f the bridge understood what was hap pening. The gates were closed, and the word was sent to Brooklyn to close the gates. Then messengers were sent to the police station in Oak street. But before any outside help came to the bridge the police, assisted by citizens, pressed two grocers’ waggons into an ambulance service, and they were loaded up with dead and dying, and driven off the bridge, followed by crowds of distracted people. The' waggons were followed off the bridge by women crying for their children and men crying for their wives. Several of the woman were hall-naked, many had only rags on. One woman had both her shoes torn off, and almost all were bare-headed. There were hundreds of them dishevelled and crying. Their faces were white, and in many instances were covered with dust and dirt. The stoppage lasted nearly an hour. The cause of this terrible calamity ' appears to be that son\e ruffianly young men who thought the people in front of them did not move quickly begaU to push.

■iii «ri in f ... 1683 Notices. w An evil and its remedy.—t> the Editor, —It isahealthy signof'Cr times when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when , something must be done either by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an end to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally, amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cask only in future. The honest man who is willing to pay his 203 in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual '-first-class style—-but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices : —Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s 6d; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2.

The above “ Extnct ’ is one of the moat marvellous discoveries of the age. Its effects are instantaneous, and never fail in chronic or acute cases, however severe. _ . . The great properties of this medicine consist in its never producing costive ness, no matter how freely used, and its being perfectly harmless and purely her bal, yet curing Diarrhoea, Dysentery; Eng lish Cholera, etc., with the greatest cer tainty. TESTIMONIALS. Eaugiora, July 7, 1881. Sir, —Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I find it to be skilfully prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. On weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14J grains. On further submitting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea, as well as in many chronic oases and in dysentery, Ihaveprovedit to possess great specific control, added to the unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. I feel satisfied that from the number of trials I have been enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a most valuable addition to modern therapeutics. The following cases are taken at ran dom from my note book : Case No. I—Mrs M , West Eyre ton, suffering for two years from chronic dysentery, which had reduced her almost to a skeleton. After a fortnight’s trial not only had the diarrhoea stopped, but she commenced eating meat without pain, and the usual concomitant vomiting. In two months she had gained 181bs weight. Case No. 2—A G., child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. Case No. 3—A soldier who had con tracted dysentery in India got a small twc ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it. ({signed) Charles DeLaoy McCarthy, M.

They have been with grea sud la cess introduey into the principal families in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. They are guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with many serious complaints like Bronchitis, Piles, Ulcers, Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time, as these sicknesses are' often caused by worms of all kinds, especiolly by the Tape Worm, ie and by the moat dangerous Thread Worm, at which, if not destroyed in time, will soon to create the nardly-eurable Worm Fever.' a . The smallest, the Thread Worm, will more le than any other worm penetrate through all the crevices of the body up to the 0) brain. An example was recently wit nessed, where a child falling continually le into fits (the parents not knowing the; /e cause) at last died with the brain affected re by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still more> ,d recently there was a case, a grown man ie whose seat was affected by the Thread u . Worm, and who, after trying many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dose of DR HEILBRON’S Worm Cakes. 3 c 'jA Ss 25 C ZK ’S of in of P. ie .7 y y There are cases where the worms come away that they almost can be counted then often they come away in whole clots,- and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff, and although not so perceptible, still they are caused to leave by Dr Heilbron's, Worm Cakes. And there have been other cases where children affected with Worms, when coughing or sneezing, do discharge them through the mouth and nose. The symptoms of Worms are generally ■ as follows ; —Lassitude, Giddiness, De pression of Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if not acted against, will engender diseases of , the bile), Disorder of the Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep, and many more serious complaints,' in cluding Fits, of which last many persona have been cured by these Worm GakecL No time should be lost in removing these Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in size and., quantity, and ultimately spread through out the intestines. If Worms are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make it beyond human skill to restore and reorganise the system of digestive organa. DIRECTIONS FOB USB. The quantity of these Worm Cakes to be taken at a dose depends mostly on the age and constitution of the patient. In most cases a couple of doses will drive the worms away for many years, if not en tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child up to 2 years will be half a Cake ; from 2 to 4 years old, one whole Cake ; fro n 4 to 8 years, one Cake and a half ; fromß to 14, two Cakes ; and so to increase with the age, but never more than four Cakes at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take three Cakes at a dose, and grown men four Cakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Oakes is by taking the dose before going to bed, and on the following morning to take a cup of hot tea before breakfast. As I am not certain how long I may stay in this town, and as these Worm Cakes can be obtained at a very small ex pense families will do wall to have always a small supply of them at their houses.
