A SHIP AMONG BERGS

;/ - ♦ ' WILLINGTOW, M*y 14 The >bip Earnoek, from Liverpool, had an exciting time among the ice. For six days from April 11 *he wu almost entirely surrounded by icebergs, and at one stage Captain Yates had to steer due north for twelve hours in order to obtain a clear passage. It is estimated that the vessel passed between 800 and 900 bersrs, some between two and three miles long and 600 feet high. The vessel escaped without injury. '

The Self-Accused Murderer.

Auckland, May 14 Samuel Evison, self-accused of murdering a woman at Nottingham, left England in 1882 in the steamer Ophir for Sydney. He next went to Brisbane, then to Auckland. He has resided for some years in the neighborhood of Hamilton, and haa lately been working at his trade as a carpenter in the township. He was well respected, but very reserved. The prisoner was charged at the Police Court, Hamilton, on his own confession, with having caused the death of a young woman at Nottingham, England, in 1882, by pushing her down, she striking her htad on the coping stone of the embankment of the river Trent and rolling into the river. The prisoner was remanded for eight days. He will be brought up at Auckland on ' Tuesday next. Inspector Hickson has communicated with the" Commissioner of Police at Wellington, it is presumed with a view of cabling to the Scotland Yard authorities in London and making further investigations. In his confession Evison says:—"ln March, 1881,1 was at Nottingham, England. I was walking with a girl named Jenny, whom I had picked up in the street about three weeks previous. I had a few words about seeing her with another young man, when the hit me in the face. I gave her a push and she fe 1 on her head on the stone coping on the edge of the footpath and fell into the river Trent. The coping was built right up from the river, and formed a promenade close to Nottingham Trent Bridge. It was dark, and I saw her strike the water and float down the river about six yards. She was struggling in the water. I then came from the end of the bridge on to the road, but scarcely knew what to do. I went over the bridge, came back; and went home alone, and never heard more about it. I was in a passion at the time. I did not know the girl by any other name than Jenny. She was in the lace trade, but I did not know where she lived."

Evison arrived by train this afternoon from Hamilton, being under the charge of Constable Forbes of that township. On his arrival at the Newmarket station the man wm taken up to Mount Kden gaol, where he is lodged pending examination before a magis trate next week. Evison b thirty-six years of age, and is a very quiet aj>d reserved man, of medium height, with a strong figure, and of dark complexion, with dark hair and moustache, with several days' growth of beard on hit cheeks and chiu. On coming to Hamilton he first worked for Mr Jas. Friar, with whom he resided for some time, afterwards living with Mrs Moore at her boardinghouse in Victoria street. On leav in 1 riar he was employed by the late Mr D. Elliott until the latter's death, since which time he has been employed on various works in the neighbourhood; He was spoken of as a very good workman. Although residing in Hamilton for over two years Evison did not make many frisnds, in fact his appearance was always that of the greatest reserve, almost to tnoroseness. When questioned as to the motive which induced him to accuse himself Evison said that for the last thirteen years be had suffered the pangs of a guilt stricken conscience. "I have.not." he said when questioned by the constable, "been able to get rid of the feeling that I was the girl's murderer. I have been driven nearly mad by it, and several times felt inclined to go and commit suicide. 1 have never been happy since I did it, aud I thought that the only rest I could get or the only way of mrking my mind easier would be to confess it all." fcvison, it appears, went up to Constable Forbes in the street at Hamilton on Sunday morning, and said to him quite calmly, "I want you to lock me up " Forbes asked the man to come into the middle of the street, as there were a number of persons close by, and then asked Evieon vrhy he wanted to be locked up. He replied, " I caused the death of a girl in England in J882." The constable took the man to the police station, and subsequently took down his statement. It seems Evison had been Buffering remorse for his self-confessed crime for many years. He was on several occa sions seen crying as if in trouble by Hamilton residents, and according to h's own state ment he could get no rest. It is not thought that he is of unsound mind. At any rate, the constable who arrested him considers him quite sane. A coincidence in connection with the confession by Eviion has taken place. About the same time that the story from Hamilton reached Auckland there came a number of Australian papers, in one of which, the Australian Star, appears a cablegram stating a man in London has been arrested under almost precisely the same circumstances. The cablegram is as fol lows ;■—" Lpndor, May 3.—A Guardsman named Wright has been arrested on his own confession on a charge of causing the death of a woman under extraordinary circum stance*. The story told by Wright is to the effect that he was having a drink when a woman accosted him, and he pushed her into the Thames. Ho further particulars are yet available."

Viscount Wolmer.

London, May 14 Lord Selhorne (Viscount Wolmer) withdrew from the House of Commons at the request of the Speaker, pending the decision of the House upon his claim to retain his seat. Sir W. V. Harcourt held it was impossible to evade the disability attached to the succession to a peerage, and Viscount Wolmer would be a peer whether he claimed the title or not. Mr Balfour concurred in the view taken by the ! leader of the House.

What Dreams May Come ♦ In a recent lecture at the Royal Institution, Dr. B. *A\ Richardson says that the sleep of health is dreamless. " Breams," says Shakespeare, " are children of an idle brain.'' If both the doctor and the poet are right it follows that idle brains are unhealthy brains. No doubt there might be truth in the in terference, but that is not quite the point. Are all dreams signs of a diseased condi tion? To this the doctor says " No." He divides dreams into two classes; those started by noises or other causes outside the sleeper, and those produced by pain, fever, or indigestion. Here we inject a fact. We receive multi tudes of letters containing. this affirmation, almost in identical words: I was worse tired in the morning than when I went to bed. To this the doctor has an answer. He says. When we feel wearied in the morning very likely it results from dreams that we have j forgotten. Quite so. In other words there is a bodily sondi-1 tion which may prevent a person from work ing by day at his usual calling, but obliges him to labour all night under a mental stimulus of which he knows nothing save by its resulting exhaustion. These unhappy wretches toil harder, therefore, for no com pensation, when they aie ill, than they have to do to earn a living when they are well. What an infernal and frightful fact' And this too without taking into account their physical suffering at all times. Night, said Coleridge, is my hell. From one of the letters referred to we quote what a woman says of her daughter: She was worse tired in the morning than when she went to bed. Poor girl. Those j forgotten dreams had tossed her about as a ! ship is tossed in a tempest. Night was her day of labour. The mother s simple tale is this : In June, 1890, my daughter Ann Elizabeth became low, weak, and fretful, and complained of pain in the chest after eating. Next her stomach was so irritable that she vomited nil the food she took. It was awful to see her heave and strain. For three weeks nothing passed through her stomach except a little soda water and lime water, Later on, her feet and legs began to swell and puff from dropsy. She was now pale as death and looked as though she had not a drop of blood in her body, and was always cold. Month after month dragged by and she ( grew weaker every day. She could not walk without support, for she had lost the proper use of her legs, and her body swayed from side to Bide as she moved.



A doctor attended her for twelve months, and finally said it was no use giving her any more medicine as it would do no good. In May, 1891, I look her to the Dewsbury Infirmary; She got no better there, and I thought 1 was surely going to lose her. She was then thirteen years of age. One day a lady (Mrs Light oiler) called at my shop, and seeing how bad my daughter was, Bpoke of a medicine called Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup, and persuaded us to try it. I got a bottle from the Thornhill Lees Co-operative Stores, and she began taking it. In two days she found a little relief; the sickness was not bo frequent* She kept on with the Syrup and steadily improved. Soon she was strong as ever, and has since been in the best of health and can take any kind of food. After he had taken the Syrup only two weeks the neigh bors were surprised at her improved ap pearance and I told them what had brought it about—that Seigel's Syrup had done what the doctors could not do, it saved her life. Yours truly, (signed), Mrs Sarah Ann Sheard, 19, Brewery Lane, Thornhill Lees, near Dewsbnry, October 11,1892. The inciting cause of all this young girl's pitiful suffering was indigestion and dyspepsia, dropsy being one of its most dangerous symptoms. It attacks both youth and age, its fearful and often fatal results being due to the fact that physicians usually treat the symptoms instead of the disease itself.



A child's dreams, says Dr Richardson, are signs of disturbed health and should be re garded witn anxiety." The same is true of the dreama of older people. They mean poison in the stomach and point to the imme diate use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.



Fob Indigestion, the best remedy is un doubtedly Norton's Camomile Pills. They can confidently be recommended as being mild in operation and absolutely free from injurious drugs.
