Fatal Accident m the Cup Race.

A Jockey Killed. Melbourne, October 16 The thrilling catastrophe of thirteen years ago, when Donald Nicholson, rider of Lord Exeter, was killed through the stumbling of lootoo, bringing down a number of horees amongst forty-one starters, was repeated three hundred yards after the start, and P. Flanagan, Bon of the owner of Robin Hood, whoße f amily are m independent oir cumstances, and who had ridden the horse when he gained second place m the Metro* politan Stakes, expired before reaching the casualty-room. C. Foon, rider of Reke, sus tained a fractured ankle, A. Hearn, who was on Mischief, had a oollar-bone broken, and A. Powell, rider of Acton, Bustained severe concussion of the brain. [ft was reported m ths earlier cables thab he was killed, but this was not correct, the brain concussion being less serious than Anticipated. ] At the start of the Caulfield Cup the horses travel some three hundred and fifty yards m a bee line before rounding the firat turn. Natnra'ly when large fields compete, the jockeys on the extreme outside make a direot course for ♦.he corner, approaching which they crowd m on those nearer the rails. On passing the grand stand yesterday, it was noticeable that the jockey e were more pronounced than usual m their outcries. Shouts of "Keep out," " keep out," were the first warning the spectators had that danger wsb imminent. Opposite the member' re .serve, to the right-hand of the grand stand, Acton, m the centre of the field and some dis tanceoutfrom the rails, stumbled, apparently m the same manner as did Tootoo, through crossing his forelegs, Reka, racing directly behind, fell over Acbou, and Mischief, Mi jeatic, The Musketeer, Superb and Robin Hood likewise came down, whilst R. L3wis, who was on Cocos, shot up into the air with uplifted arms, and clean out of the saddle. Quite a number of the contestants jumped over the prostrate horses and jockeys with marvellous instinct, Flanagan being cleared by several until trying to roll out of harm's way, when he waa buffeted about, sustain ing fearful injuries to his neck. Both legs and arms were broken. Had Acton fallen In towards the rails instead of outwards, or had the accident happened fifty yards fur ther on at the elbow on the turn, the catas trophe would have assumed much greater proportions. Happening m full sight of the people on the stand and lawn, the screams of the women lent additional horror to tho scene, vhich completely m.irred the after noon's enjoyment. So far &3 can be gleaned, none of the horses were seriously injured. Reka out an artery, and the others are very lame. DUNEDIN SPRING MEETING. SECOND DkY.

FRENCH AFFAIRS.

Paris, October 14 Counsel employed by Madame Dreyfus, m the interests-of her husband, has Bhown the Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail, the dossier or brief prepared m connection with the case. October 15. A drzsn journals, mostly supporters of a revision of the Dreyfus trial, accuse Generals PelHeuse, Boisdeffre and Zurlinden of con cocting a plot to overturn the Cabinet, re tain M. Faure as President, end the attacks made on the 'army, and prevent a revision of the Dreyfus trial. It is alleged that a majority of the General Staff are implicated m the plofcT The War Office denies the conspiracy, but as clear proofs are not forthcoming many are incredulous and suspect that the military are chafing under civil law, and exasperated by public criticism on the Army. Forty thousand troops have been added to the garrisons m Paris, nominally to coerce the atrikers. The general officers unani mously declared their duty demanded abso lute obedience to the Republic. October 16 The Patriots' League was at the bottom of the conspiracy against the French Govern ment. The Government was forewarned, but made it appear as if nothing was suspected. It quietly transferred the suspected officers to the provinces, and B'immoned to Paris thousands {of Normandy and Picardy gen darmes, who, being under the orders of the Minister of the Interior, could have arrested high military officers without the necessity of a state of siege being declared.

POISONED

" \ report comes from the district ot Wagunyah, N.P.W., of a tettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poieoning after tartaking of their evening me9l. In searching for the cause, su - pioion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin m use was analysed and f und to contain strong traces of muriatic aritl, the pic=ence of which is caused by the use of spirits of gats m welding the parts of tin together Ihe analyst warnß consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to teconie impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with pn inside lining of vegetable parchment This style of I a k t is quite impervious to the air, aDd tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and Etrcngth ftr a period of live years." jsO'rw. — KOZIB TEA is packed m lea 3 with an jtfide lining of Vegetable Parchment
