The Melbourne Tragedy.

WOMAN'S TRUST AND MAN'S DUPLICITY.

THE EXPLANATION OF THE ST, KILDA DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

Melbourne, January 8. At the inquest on the body of Hannah M'Lellan, who committed suicide by jump ing nff the Albert Park pier, the evidence showed that she was married at eighteen to a man who afterwards turned oat to be already married in Scotland, and left him after they had lived together for two years. She formed an acquaintance with Alfred Birtlea, and kept company with him for two years, but he refused to marry her, On the night of fche tragedy she talked with Birtles on the pier for a couple of hours, and as he left her she drank a bottle of chlorodyne and leapt overboard. William Satchell, a bicyclist, who was on the pier with his sweetheart, witnessing a fireworks display, divested himself of hia coat and vest and jumped overboard to the rescue, bub was seized with cramp, and both were drowned. The following letter was found in the girl's pocket when h»r body was taken to the morgue :— •* My dear mother, father, brothers, sister, and my dear child—For give me, mother dear, what lam doing, as I cannot face this world of misery any longer, as Alf. Birtles drives me to this. He has seduced me under promise of making me his wife. For fifteen months it has just gone on like this. I have been like & wife to him—nothing bat a convenience to him. How he is tired he has burned on me and treated me with contempt. I cannct stand contempt from him. I love him dearly, and I have begged him to turn, but he is stubborn. Be will not make me his wife now, as he promised, or have anything to do with me now. It matters not when he took me out, he always seduced me, and made me believe he always cared something tor ihb—nothing bub false deceit. He even took me last Easter—from Good Friday to Monday— and placed a wedding ring on my finger, called me his wife, and then put his arm around my neck and kissed me, to Frank ston Coffee Palace, and then he took another name and and told me afterwards. | Mind, he gave the name of Buckley instead of Birtles. I can see it all now. He filled me with false hopes and deceit. Mother, I cannot bear this disgrace op my mind. Mrs Fuller got to,know it, and she turned me away from my situation. She said that she could nofc believe it of me that I was guilty of such things. Mother, I trusted him but he had deceived me. It breaks my heart, as I love him. I cannot be parted from him to live. 1 shall part In death, then he will see what he has done. Mother, lcok after my chil 3. God spare you to see him grow up, and may he prove a blessing to you, as, mother, I am always parted from him. Never let him know his mother's fate. Do not fret for ms, as I will be better off, as there is no future now for me My life is blighted no*vfor ever through Alf Birtles. No man would ever make me his wife now. 1 could not deceive .one after being mistress to him. Good-bye, and God bless my child. Your htatt broken daughter, H, M*Lennan." Alfred Birtips stated at the inquest that he had known deceased for the last 17 months. He admitted that some of the allegations contained in the letter written by deceased were true, bat he denied ih*b he was en gaged to marry the deceased. They lived with each other as man and wife at FrAiikston, bat the woman had insisted on accompanying him. There was no quarrel on the pier on Tuesday nigh*-, and she had said nothing about drowning her self. The Coroner (Dr. Youl) told Birfcles thab two people's lives had been lost through his conduct. The deceased had merely charged him in her letter with what he had admitted— admissions which wild horses would not have drawn from him (Dr. Youll). Witness protested that what he had admitted was true. The Coroner, with much warmth, said that cue might be excused for untruths to save the reputation of a woman he had wronged. The jury returned a verdicb that deceased committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity.

Mining in Australia.

In every way Australian mining promises a big revival. The refractory and the poor reefs even, which once baffled the intrepid prospector, have been robbed of almost all their difficulties by the achievements of mechanical science, and the ever-inoreasiDg improvements in ore-breaking machinery. The revival of trade in the manufacture of mining machinery shows clearly that the general reflex of investment is toward the mining industry. The old fields, Gympie, Beadigo, Charters Towers, and Balhrat, are better than they have been tor years—the deserted alluvials of Victoria are being rushed again. N.S.W. mining is coming on vigorously and the Eldorado of Bailey's Re ward points to the rapid exploitation and settlement of Western Australia. It is to be regretted that in the case of mining at least, no movement has been made to admit the working miner to a share of hie findings us well as his ordinary wage, The investor may ri-k his capital, but the miner risks his life a dozen times a day j for if he escape a violent death by the breaking of a cage chain—the falling in of a drive—or the flooring of a shaft—he dares the terrible kidney disease or the agonies of pleurisy. That is, mind you. after he has got en to gold —as » prospector he dares all these things without any show of reward and merely on bare chance. Mr R. J. Ooffey, a miner and prospector of Mount Morgan (Queensland), writes on November 2?, 1892, recounting his recovery, by the use of Warner's Safe Cure, from a dangerous at tack of bush fever and ague, contracted whilst proupeoting. And the experience of Mr J. R. Ware, miner, of Long Gully, Bendigo (Victoria), is an ordinary descrip tion of t he discomforts and diseases to which the poorly paid miner is subject. Says Mr Ware :—" Long Gully, Bendigo, Victoria, i October 2, 1891— Working for many years in the deep mines of B^llarat and Bendigo, I contracted a disease known as the miner's disease, or lung oomplaint. J also Buffered from rheumatic pains in the back and legs, caused by the dampness and foul air in the mines. I worked on as long as it was pos sible, and was then compelled to lay up. I used many remedies, and consulted doctors, but pould get no relief, and began to despair of being able to help my wife and family. I had saved up & few pounds, but with doctqrs' bills and medicine it soon went, and % could e(53 nothing before me but bad times, and no prospect of regaining my lost health. One day an old miner friend called to see me, and was surprised to find me in such a low state. On leaving he said he would call again the next day and brins? something to cure me. But I had lost all hope, and only shook nay head. On the morrow he called, bringing with him a bottle of Warner's Safe Cura, and «§a,id if any medicine would cure me this would; and that he had known a score of miners who had been cured by its v c, and insisted on my taking sonje at once. Hia words cheered me. I took tho medicine, felt better, kept on with it until I consumed seven bottles, and in three months I was at work again, and am thaak ful to say have not had a day's sickness

New South Wales Parliament.

PER PKESS ASSOCIATION.

(Received January 20, 11 30 a.m.) Sydney, January 20. The Government intend to proceed with business on Tuesday as though nothing had happened. Although the hostile amendment of Mr Reid was only dffeated by one vote, a number of those who are familiar with the true state of affairs declare that the Govern ment possess a larger majority on questions of general policy. In an interview Sir Henry Parkes said the ministry all through hid had an un worthy career, and had disregaided the majority of the assembly, which men of honor would have considered sufficient to put them out of office. Mr Reid states that, if it is true, as currently reported, thai; while a vote was pending the Minister of Works informed a deputation of ironworkers that if the amendment was defeated £189,000 for iionwork would be thrown in their way, and that members were approached by those comprising a deputation who vehemently urged them to sink their convictions and support the Government, it was a most stupendous piece of undisguised political bribery, and degrading to all concerned. It is an open secret that Mr Cope land's friends are pressing Sir G. R. Dibbs to retain him in the Ministry, on the ground that the punishment is too great for the offence. Ministers appear to sympathise with the ex- Minister of Lands. It is hinted that possibly no change will be made.

WOOL SALES.

Chkistchujrch, January 19. The third series of the Christchurch wool sales for tbe present aeas> n was held to-day. There was a large attendance of buyers and biddings for all descriptions, except merino fleece, were characterised by fair spHt. Crossbred wools, especi ally the stronger and b ighterdescriptions, sold well at prices equal to those ob tained at the December sales, but merino woola suffered a decline from those rates, and some large clips were withdrawn. Lower descriptions of both crossbred and merino for scouring purposes sold par ticularly well. Prices were as follows :— For greasy merino, superior, 7d to 7|d ; medium to good, 6d to 6|d ; inferior, 4d to s|d ; pieces, 4d to 6|d ; locks, 2d lo 3jd; halfbral, superior, B|d to 9|d ; medium to good, 7|d to B|d ; crcssbred, superior, 8d to B|d ; medium to good, 7d to 7fd ; half bred and crossbred, inferior, 6d to ; pieces, superior, 6'l to 7|d ; i pieces, medium, 4|d to s|d ; locks, 2i|d to 3|d.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Miles and Company, Limited, report on the weekly stock sale held at the Ashburton yards, on Tuesday, January Ifj, as follows :—For the week's requirements there were yarded on Tues day last, 637/9 sheep and 16 head of cittle, of which we offered 1613 sheep. The attendance was affected by the heavy rain which prevailed during the auction. The improved rates reported lasc week for forward young aheep were more than maintained at the Ashburton yards, and for these competition was good. An average number of sheep of plain quality were placed in the butchers' pens, majority being merinqa for which the market was not brisk. A line of well forward merino wethers reached &* 6d and 9s 7d, whilst far the fat merino ewes only cji 6d to 4a could be obtained ; for me4iqm, ports, 6a M for best qwlity

several lots being passed. Old ewes with iambs at foot were hard to place ab aboub late rates. There were several extensive lines of two-tooth crossbreds, which sold satisfactorily trom 8i 3d to 11* 83, accord ing to quality. 'J he heavy rains of late which ensure good feed are giving more confidence in the sheep trade, and prices will no doubt ixuprore further. Fop the entries of cattle good prices were realised. We soil 33 crossbred ewes at 7s 6d ; 20 fat merino ewes, 6s 8d; 4 crossbred wethers, 13s; 34 crossbred ewes, with I small percentage of lambf, 3s each ; 195 crossbred two-tooths, Us 7d; 20 fat merino ewes, 6s 5d ; 1238 crossbred two tooths, 11s 6d to 11s 8d ; 1 fat cow, £7 15s.

The pupils make a mo3t pleasing appearance both in writtan and in oral answering, a^.d much of their work is of c naiderable merit. Reading, spelling, writing and drawing are distinctly good ; and arithmetic and composition, though not fee from defects show promising qualities. It is very gratifying to find that several pupils of good capacity whose attainments when thb fcchool vyj,s opened rine months ago did not warrant a hi h classification, have since made very rapid progress, arid in the case of some or ginally paced in standards I and 11, the ground woikof two standards has been successfully covered. Two pupils entered on the schedules as belonging to standard 11, mike really good passes in standard 111, i and all the members of standard I are quite abrea&t ot the requirements for standard II in reading, spelling, writing and drawing.—L. 13.

£|Alf DEKdc Son»Eiica!ypti Extract There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in th market now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Oar Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medieial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal ■, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswalj, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of anids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant, according to these authorities, and accor iiog to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of Ametici., is the only extract correspondingto scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT Allother crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dist nctton at Exhibitions as commercial articles arid are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible :— 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy » ). 3 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced ia specido density through the presence of acids: 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennatea. If these crude oils, bo calle 1 eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in coaas of croup, b -onchitis, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wound*, the theensequeucesre most appalling. For safety alway ask always for Bant)«r and Sons' Encalvptt Extract and get the old, well tested and reliable preper»Mon.—Sandhurst, Victoria, A.ustiali *nnd«ran«l Moo
