at the Police Dop6t, while tho body of his friend has been taken to tho Morgue for ex amination. It U noted that the whole affair ia more than ordinarily sad, since the father of the boy who now awaits his trial has only just lost his wife and a daughter, and has been deprived of reason by this fresh misfortune.

THE PROPOSED DESTRUCTION OF LIMA.

The Chilians propose to bombard Limn, the commercial and political capital of Peru. The city is situated a few miles inland from Callao, the litter Wing the maritime port, and now blockaded by the Chilians. As it is ollicially announced that Chili will bombaid Liiuii at an early day* preparations have been going on eoiiio time in view of such a result. The bom bardment means capture, pillage, and wholesale murder. Both parties to the contest have really been carrying on the war with borrowed capita. Every ship of both Heets was constructed abroad. The arms were mado in foreign countries. From the first it has been to some extent a question of national credit and foreigu resources.

AN ELECTRICIAN'S DEED.

CHICAGO, August 23,

Tho bodies of Simon Zimmerman and his wife were fouud at u'. 30. this evening at their residence, 210, Claybornc avenue, with bullet-holes in their heads, which had evidently been made by the husband, as appeared by statements of neighbours, early in the morning. The two children, aged three and four years, remained in the room all day with the bodies in the kitchen, and were lirst discovered at eight by the brother, who lives in the house, but who works at nights and sleeps all day. He had been unable to arouse them when he returned from his work in the morning, and so retired, believing them asleep. JSo cause for tho act is known,' their marital lives having been ordinarily happy. Zimmer man was a workruau in the Chicago Electri cal Works.

A GHASTLY TRAGEDY.

Milwaukee, August 23.

The "Sentinel's" Madison special says : The house ot Martin Winiiek, on the line between Dane and Columbia counties, was discovered in ilanns on Sunday uight, aud the neighbours, on fo.c'ng an entrance, found the body of Mrs Wiurick, riddled with shot, lying in a pool of blood. The body of her husband was found on si bed, bleeding from two ghastly wounds. The bodies were taken out of the burning house, though somewhat scorched. Winrick and his wife lived unhappily on account uf their children, each by former marriages, aud it is supposed that tho old man shot his wife with a shot-gun, set fire to tlte house, and then shot himself with a revolver, and fail ing to finish himself discharged the other barrel of the shot-gun into his own body. They have several grown children who live in the neighbourhood of the crime.

DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE IN TEXAS.

ST. LOUIS, August 20.

Colonel Baker, Superintendent of the Weatorn Union Telegraphic Company, has a despatch from Corpus Christi, Texas, which says that it is reported there that Brownsville, Texas, near the mouth of the liio Grande, was nearly dcstioyed by a fearful storm which prevailed along the Texas Coast on the 12ih and 13th instant, and that many lives have been lost. The Chicago "Times" Galvoston spec'al says : " The direct centre of the hurricane along the Kio Grande passed over Brownsville and Matamoras. The streets of both cities were flooded on August 12th. On the morn lug of the 13th, Matamoras looked as if it had stood a week's heavy bombardment. Brick buildings were torn out of the centre of the long block, frame houses were com pletely wrecked, the streets were filled with the twisted remains of trees, the roofs and fragments of houses, the roof of the Theatre de la Forma was blown oil', the top of the Cathedral was torn off. the clock towers look as if they had been riddled with balls, not a flagstaff remains standing, and the public fquaro is almost ruined. The Custom House is slightly damaged. Hardly a balcony remains in the city. Even small iron balconies were torn from buildings and hurled to a gieat distance. Many residences were wrecked entirely. A one-story brick building in the middle of a solidly-built block was blown out as if a battery had played on it. Trees were up-rooted ail over the city, and roads were rendered impass able on account of ddbria, and at least 300 buildings in| the city were demolished or damaged. Brownsville came off a little better. Eleven buildiugs, occupied by the Quartermaster as Btorc-'.iou*es, and others used a3 dwellings, wee blown down, Th; infantry barracks were budly shattered, and much damage was done the officers' quarters. At point Isabel, the life-saving station was lifted from its foundation aud torn to pieces, the lighthouse was swept away, and all *he houses on the wlarf were wrecked. A miliiou dollars will hardly cover the losses.

A SEVERE STORM.

Jew Yoiuc, Au.;ust 25,

A very heavy storm passed over the city to-day. The sloop yacht ntrepid, from Newport to New York, was struck by a Bquafl oft Hart Island at 1.30 p.m., upset and sunk an 20 fathem? of water. Every thing waa lost, the crew barely escaping. A boat capsized off Rockaway Point, and six men were drowned. The yacht Dollie was upset in the storm, and Captain Fred erick Baker, of tho Sixteenth Ward, Brooklyn, and party, were drowned. An unknown man was struck by lightning and killed. At Bridgeport, Conn., a terrific thunderstorm passed over the city, the lightning struck a schooner, killing the steward. Lightring struck a number of places about the city and vicinity, including the St. Augustine Catholic Church. At Wilk.ssbane, |Pa., several buildings were struck but no great damage wa3 done. General Oliver's powder mill at Laurel run was struck, and lOOlbs exploded, partially destroying the mixing room. A Hood caused considerable loss to the city.

SYSTEMATIC EXTERMINATION OF MUSSULMANS.

Heartrending accounts continue to arrive of the systematic extermination of tho Mus sulmans fd Bulgaria and Eastern Koumelia. According to one of them which is published here to-ttay, no less than twenty-three townships, situated partly in Uulgaria and partly in Eastern Koumelia, have been plundered and burned to tho ground. Out of the eighty Mussulman prisoners, four were hung by order of a Bulgarian pricnt, and a number of the rest were massacred on their way to Varna. These deeds of horror are deliberately perpetrated by the peasants, the militiamen, the members of the gymnastic societies and the Houmelian gendarmes. The authorities take an active part in them, as was proved by the conduct of the Prefect of Aido3, who, prior to the massacre at Bellova, publicly stated that the Mussulmans must be exterminated by the Bulgarians. In Eastern Koumelia, crimes of the most ghastly description are committed daily against the Mussulmans, without distinction of ago or sex. "Vienna Correspondence of London Teleyragh."

COLLOSSAL SWINDLING.

Sir George Jessel, Master of the Rolls has given judgment against Albert Grant, in favour of the Emma Silver Mining Com pany for £120,000. that sum being the profit which Grant made as promoter of that com pany. The judgment is not to be affected by bankruptcy proceedings against Grant, iuasmuch as his making a profit as promo ter of the compeny was a breach of trust- Albert Grant, better known as ''Baron" Grant, was for about thirteen or fourteen years the most notorious speculator in Europe. In 1879 he entered a petttion in bankruptcy. His liabilities then were 3,409,965d01a. When the owners of the Emma mine went to England in 1871 to place the stock on the market, the aid ot Mi- Grant was sought. A contract was made with the firm of Grant & Co., under which they were to receive, for promoting the company, about 500,000d015. on tho sale of the first half of the stock, and one-half of the profits realised on the sale of the second half retained by the venders. The capital of the company was fixed at 5,000,000,d015. one-half ot the stock being offered to the public at par in lOOdol. shares.. About 3,750,000d015. changed hands in (England ' during the transactions in the stock of the company, and much of the amount remained, it is said, in tue hands of Grant.

SHOCKING STORIES OF CHILIAN BRUTALITY.

New York, August 4th

A Lima letter, describing the taking of Tacna by Chilian troops, says : Hundreds of wounded and prisoners were slaughtered in cold blood. Women and girls of tenderest age are violated and many killed. The farms in the vicinity and their inhabi tants shared a common fate with the town. Every day six, eight, or tc,i murders are committed while the bodies of the victims are allowed to re main uuburied until tlieir removal becomes a matter of necessity. Arica suffered even more severely than Tacna, All houses were either totally or partially destroyed. °?3&teen lmndred^defcuders only six

hundred survived. Those of the twelve hundred who aid not fall in fight were subsequently massacred in cold blood. It is an authenticated fact that forty-nine soldiers who had hidden their arms and taken refuge iv the United States com mercial agency, over which the Hag was Hying were taken out and butchered in the street.

DEATH OF ADELAIDE NEILSON.

A telegram trom Purls describes the death of Adelaide Neilson, the celebrated actress, called by the American papers "The Dramatic Queen." Miss Neilson had left her home with a party of friends in the best of spirits, and apparently in good health, to take a dejouner in the famous Duchalct Restaurant on the I'ois de Bou logue. At the table she frequently alluded to her success in the profession, and spoke hopefully of what she expected t') accom plish during the coming season and in the more distant future. Suddenly Miss Neil son turned p.»le, gave a low cry, pressed her hand upon her heart, and fell back in her chair. Her friends sprang to her assist ance and attempted to bring her to con sciousness, dispatching a messenger tor ; medical aid, but all dibits wera of no avail. Miss Neilsou was dead. Tho new York "Herald's" Paris special has the following : Dr. Monnieris led to believe, from certain sympton?, that a mental trouble was connected with her illness. He asked the patient if there was anything on i her mind: "Yes," While Mounter was attending her a hat Hew into into tho room through the window. Miss Neilson was much alarmed. " Look at that grout bird Hying about me," she exclaimed in a. terrified tone. Another telegram states that Miss Neilson's death is attributed to drinking a cup of iced milk, which .a medical writer in a Paris jour nal says is indigestible. Miss Neilson was twelve hours iv mortal agony. She was buried at Brompton Cemetery on August 20th. The funeral was largely attended. Among those present were Lord Henry Lennox, Admiral Carr Glyun, Henry LnDouchcro, John S. Clark, tlie American actor Edward Compton, who accompanied Miss Neilsou on her list tour through the United States, and a number of other adorn and actresses. Key. J. D, Mossiujihnm read the funeral tcrvicr. The remains were inclosed iv a polished oak cofliu, which bore simply the name of the deceased and the woids, " Died at Paris, August 15, 18S0." The coftin was covered with wreaths and other lloral tributes.

THE WHISKY RING.

St. Louis, August 7th

General McDonald's long-promised ex pose of the great whisky ring was printed in to-day's " Post-Dispatch," and created much excitement throughout St. Louis. The story is supported by documentary and other evidence, and the General challenges secretary Bristow to attest tho correctness of the most important interviews given, lie implicates Grant, Babcock, aud Com missioner Douglas, formerly head of the In ternal Revenue Bureau, in the ring, and gives a detailed account of the lisc aud fall of the conspiracy. He relates the gift to General Grant of a team and buggy worth SO',ooo, and the further gift of §1000. Babcock received from the ring more than $125,000 i:i diffciont ways, and over i?l,;>00,000 was divided among the five heads of the ring. McDonald gives Bris tow full credit for breaking up the ring and making tho tight on it in the interest of pure Republican principles, lie tells how tho President hampered Bristow in his efforts, and how Hraut in every way aided the rinss, how he promised personally to pardon McDonald at once as soon as he was sentenced. The famous " sylph " mentioned in one of Babcock s dispatches turns out to be <i dissolute woman in St. Louis whom Babcock was in love with. A great many other mysteries are cleared up. The follow ing is one of Babcock's significant letters in his handwriting, and written over his norn de plume :

Dear Kkiend: Keep steady on. Do not lose your grit. Some of the gangers and distillers want to squeal and have by such action defeated the plans in a measure. They will not be allowed to turn informers, and then go free themselves. Whoever goes to your city will be instructed to make no such promise. When the attention of the public is called to Milwaukee, Chicago, Evansvilleand Cincinnati, as it will be in a very short time, no special attention will be called to yonr city. You want to help |any one that goes to your city, and trust the re liability of the friend you telegraphed. Sorry your officials have to leave the service. Steer your ship lin the tempest. Any oue can do it in the calm. \ ours truly,— Horace houohton. McDonald has a trunk full of just such letters. The exposure is conceded to be most thorough and complete on every hand, but very little of this St. Louis whisky ring remains to be told.—" St. Louis Republican,"

THE NEW GOVERNOR FOR THE

CAPE,

There must have l)cou sonic difficulty in finding a successor to Sir Bartlc Frere. To the seniors iv the pro-consular service of the Crown transfer to the Cape would bring no very substantial increase iv salary, while the political situation is not such as to make any but a very sanguine or ambitious man eager for the post. Nevertheless an excel lent selection lias seemingly been made. Sir Hercules Kobinson lias had much ex perience of colonial government and of colonial life. He is thoroughly at home, too, in civil administration, bavins gradu ated iv Ireland, where lie filled many im portant offices, his first employment having been in connection with the distribution of relief during the Irish famine. He married in Ireland, and well, a lady of thetamilyof Lor'l Vaicntia, who has since ably seconded him in the difficult task of colonial entertain ment, and has always proved a charming Lead to colonial society. Sir Hercules has been in succession at various West India islands, at Hong Kong, in Ceylon, and lastly, in New Zealand, it he can take up the tangled threads of Cape Government and succeed in pacifying the BasutO3 as well as converting the colonists of the " Old Colony " to a true appreciation of the blessing of confederation, he will have accomplished a great work. But it is one winch will greatly tax his powers. How ever, he comes first to England to obtain a fuller and closer insight into the state of affairs, and will at least be able to take out with him the latest views of the pre sent Cabinet on the whole subject. THE DARDANELLES AND BOS PHOKUS. Blum Pasha, one of the Prussian officers long in the employ of the Porte, has stated, in a report to the Sultan, his deliberate opinion " That even in their present condi tion the Dardanelles and Bosphirus could not be forced by any number of iron clads without the most terrible loss." The Pruesiau Pasha adds that by sinking tor pedoes and submarine mines the Straits might be rendered all but impregnable. SIR HENRY HAVELOCK. Estates to the value of half a million ster ling were lately bequeathed by a cousin named Allan to Sir H. llavelock, con ditional on his assuming the testator's name. Application has since been made to the Chancery Division on behalf of the legatee and his two sons arising out of the fact that the testator directs that the income of the estate shall be accumulated at com pound interest for twenty-oac years, and then invested inland, and that a dispute of the provisions of his will shall entail a for feiture. Sir Heury and his sons applied for a present allowance of £2700 a year, and Vice-Chancellor Malms authorised the immediate payment of £1500, without prejudice to his decision on the case when it luvi been argued, CAPITAL FOU THE COLONIES.

Why should not Australia and New Zea land follow the example of North America ? It is true that they have been already fre quent applicants in the London money market, through {heir respective Govern ments, and there is a prevalent idea that some of them have already borrowed quite as much as is good for them. Besides capital thus raised by the public authorities of the Culonies, there arc also various com panies and associations of a joint-stock order which are applying for some of the surplus savings of England. Unfortunately it is not always the most legitimate enter prises that are most favoured in such cases, otherwise the attempt recently to obtain adequate capital to develop the ne.v Aus tralian industry of the export of dead meat must have heen crowned with conspicuous success. However, it is only a matter of time and opportunity; and vigilant and enterprising men of business iv the colonies should watch for both. The Mother Country is so amply supplied with the indispensable capital with which colonial resources can alone be developed, and tliC3e resources in Australia and New Zealand are to bound les*, that there is a great field for enterprise that will be mutually profitable to both. We commend the subject to the attention of our colonial friends, who ought not to miss the chance which circumstances com bine to afford them.

BLACK-MAILING BANKS. The business of banking in South AraenV -, if not as " safe as it is in London," must be infinitely more exciting, especially in Peru,

where, according to latest reports, " the Goverumcnt, being in want of money, has boon compelled to resort to extreme measures to obtain it. Two banks were invited to advance the Government a million or two, and upon their refusing sentries were placed at their doors, with orders to allow money to be paid in, but not to let any he paid out. After holding out for a few days the banks gave way." Traders arc compelled to allow their hooks to be examined, and to pay a tax of six per cent, mi their profits, f-o it is not surprising to read that " business is dull."

A Great Coal Mine on Fire.

The Keely llun Colliery at Shenandoah, Pa., was discovered to be on fire on August '.). On the previous Tuesday nil attempt was mndc to ventilate tllO inside workings, but the three men who went down were suffocated with white damp. It was sup posed that tlie white damp was caused by a deposit of about IG,OOO tons of coal dirt that had been dumped into an old break. The following discription is given oE what occurred subsequently :—" In endeavouring to relieve the mine of this death-dealing agency, air rushed to the coal dirt, and spontaneous combustion took place. The miners wont to work as usual next morning, but before they had reached their breasts, the cry of " Eire " was raised through the gangway. The panic that immediately took place delics description. The workmen Hod through the mines to the bottom of the slope crazed with fear. Smoke and gas rolled into tiicir faces, and one after another dropped Into the gutters for relief. James Thomas cried in v loud, hoarse voice, " Couto back and help me 1 " Several men, at the rink of their lives, went to his rescue, and found him on the ground vomiting and writhing in agony. The lire in the old break was increasing in strength, and cracked horribly.

The top of the slope wan surrounded with people eagerly waiting for tho arrival of their friends.

"Bo calm," shouted a mine ollicial. "No lives are lost."

Uown in the deep mines the mules neighed in terror. The smoke was blinding them and the had air caused them to wheeze like children with croup. The miners tumbled over each other ill their endeavours to escape. The engineer hoisted one gang after another as rapidly as his engine could do the work. As each wagon load lauded at the top they were cheered. The more seriously atl'ected ran to beds of clay and buried their faces in it. This relieved them of their horribly sullocating sensations.

"l'he men are all up,now for the mules," cried the doss.

There was no lack of willing hands ready to obey. The poor animals were soon landed safely, but on reaching the surface they staggered as if drunk.

TheKeoly Him is one of the best collieries in this section. Its monthly pay roll aggregates §10,000. Present indications point to its entire destruction. The vein is from thirty to seventy feet thick, nnd spreads for miles under the mountains and through the suburbs of the town. The drowning process, will, no doubt, be adopted in the cud. This calamity, pecuniarily, is is the biggest ever known in the coal-fields of the United States.

Shena.ndo.ui, Pa., August 10,

A conference of mining ongincers and ex ports was held hera to-day to decide upon a line of action with respect to the Kceley Kirn Colliery lire. Tt was decided to at tempt to cool the burning coal dirt with water, and then load it into iron wagons and hoist it to the top. If this plan fails, the fire will be extinguished by the intro duction of steam. In covering the dirt, several men were overcome to-day with gas aud were carried homo, The lire continues to burn fiercely, aud the people of the town arc discouraged at tho outlook.

Another account uives the following des cription of the fiuding of the dead by a party who descended into the mine :—" Their first attempt proved fruitless, as they were com pelled to return to catch good air. After remaining on top for a short time they again went down, led by Mr flemingray. I'hey did their work fo swiftly that they got to tho point where the men lay. They quickly rushed up and informed tho?e on top of their success. A fresh batch of men again descended after Mr HciuiHgray and the men were found. The opening made in the elope had somewhat purified the air, and the rescuers were enabled to remove the men. Mr Wasley was first found. He was lying upon his face, with his hands clasped ncrosg the back of his head. Mr Reese was lying about nine feet from him, in a somewhat similar position. Mr Wilman was the furthest off', aud rested with his head on one hand. They were all dead. Expert miners say that it is impos sible to survive ten minutes in the damp. Messrs lteose aud Wilman looked natural, but Mr Wasley was terribly pulled, and his complexion had changed to a darkish brown. Mr Wasley was about DO years of age, and leave a wife and seven children. Mr Reese was about 40 years of ape, nnd leaves a wife and seven childien. Mr Wilman was 35 years old, aud leaves a wife and three children. AH three belonged to the Masonic order.

In the Jaws of an Alligator.

A strange and serious accident happened recently to a farmer's boy named Penuel Sharp, who lives iv the country a short distance beyond Cressen, along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad. The railroad crosses a small stream here, a branch of the Concmaugh. In places it has deep holes, which are very good bathing places. Young Sharp an.l several companions, who had been out shooting woodcock, had gone in to bathe. As Sharp was swimming by him self some distance trom the bank, his com panions suddenly heard him give an agonis ing scream and then disappear in the water. They saw th.it he had been caught by some black animal, which had one of his legs iv its month, where it was held firmly by a row of cruel white teeth. The animal carried the young man un lor the water, but reappeared in two nr three minutes with Sharp iv his jaws. He cried to his compan ions to shoot, but before a gun could bo discharged he was pulled under the water again. About two minutes after he rose with the bit.' black brute still clinging to his leg, and struck out for the opporite shore. Again he called to his companions to shoot but being afraid of hittiug Sharp, no one discharged his gun. At last he reached tho bank and began climbing up its slippery side, when the animal, guided by a sudden impulse, gave a jerk, which tore a great piece from the calf of Sharp's leg and slid with its mouthful of human flesh into deep water, to reappear no more. The wounded boy wai canicd home by his companions more dead than alive. His leg was terribly lacerated, and the loss of blood was very severe. It was thought for a time that the limb could be saved, but mortification set in, and it was found neces sary to amputate it just below the knee. The young man is now getting along very well, and will probably recover. The ex citing auestion is, what was the strange animal and where did it come from ? The young men only saw a part of its head, but from the description _it is supposed to have been an alligator. How such an animal could haye come so far north is a mystery, unless it is ex plained by an accident which took place in tho early part of the summer. Some time in May, as a train of freight cars were com ing east, a link broke and a slight collision occurred, throwing a car into a stream at the point. The car contained general freight, and among other filings a live alligator, about six feet long, which was on its way to the Philadelphia Zoological Gar den. Nothing was afterward seen of the animal, and it was supposed that it was killed by tho fall. But it must have es caped, and this was probably the animal that attacted young Sharp. People iv the vicinity are iv a great state of excitement, and will not let their children go near the stream, as they are afraid they will be eaten. Almost a constant watch has since been kept on the place by men armed with shotguns, who aro determined to destroy the beast, but as yet it ha 3 failed to show itself.

Terrible Railway Accident.

Particulars are given in the San Fran cisco papers of a railway accident near Philadelphia. The train consisted of 26 cars, 1C in the first and 10 in the second section. The train was filled with Sr. Ann's Catholic excursionists from Kensing ton, Philadelphia. The first section left the city at 6 o'clock, the second followed soon after. On reaching Mary's Landing, the engineer ot the first section slowed up to run on the side track. All the cars had passed the switch except two, when the second section came thundering on behind. The engineer of the latter whistled " down bleaks," but when applied they failed to work, owing to the wet, and his locomotive crushed into the last car of the first section, telescoping it. Of the persons on the rear platform of the first train, some jumped to the ground and then rushed panic-stricken back into the cars. The locomotive came bounding on and crashed into the rear car, still standing upon the bridge, and with such force that the enpiue fairly plowed a furrow half way into tho ear, ami lifted the roof of the car over the smokestack. The shock broke one of the cylinders of the boiler, and in«

stantly scalding water was poured out uprn the alfrighted helpless occupants of the car. Kain has been pouring down, and all the windows of the car were down, and the steam filling it instantly, added to the horror of the occasion and suffering of the victims. From out the concealing vapour came shrieks of women, wails of children, and yells of men. The people on the first train ran pell mell from the cars or jumped through the windows, and it was some time before they became sufficiently com posed to make earnest efforts to rescue the injured and relievo their sufferings. Am bulances were obtained, and tho dead and wounded removed. Up to last advices, the deaths numbered seventeen and over forty injured.

Saved by a Corset.

MRS NATHAN SCHEELINE'S NAR ROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

Mns SCHEELINE, formerly Miss Eva Giprico, a tall and prepossessing brunette of 20 years of aj;e, was sliot at by a man named John Ciihill, Superintendent of a bullion mine, aged about 37, and a married man. M iss Ciprico had been a frequent visitor at Cahlll'd residence, and was ou terms of friendship with the family. Caliill secured licr a school appointment, which she did not lon;,' retain, and ou her return there was a coolness between her and Mrs Caliill. Six weeks before the attempt on her life, Miss Ciprico was married to Mr Schecline, a wealthy old man who had married daughters older than his bride. After tho mnrriago, Caliill was a ircqucut visitor at the house while Mr Schcclinc was absent. The lust visit was at 2 o'clock iv the after noon of August -Ith. Tho bell rang pre emptorily, and the servant girl went to the door. Caliill entered, ilo walked to the dining-room where Mrs Scheeliuo was sitting in the bay window. A .second later ho had drawn a revolver, reached over and placed it close to her left breast, which was next him, and fired She sprang to her feet, leaned, half-fuiutiup, against the window-fill and saw him place the pistol to his breast and lire one shot and then to his forehoad and lire a second, after which he staggcrod and fill in a heap on the floor at the foot of the sofa. Tho .servant girl, who had scarcely had time to reach ihe kitchen, run into tho yard on hearing tho shots and shrieked the alarm. A crowd of neighbors, Ollieers lioenbauz. William Little and Monahan, beingamong the throng, quickly rushed in and found Mrs Schceline in a Stunned condition, still leaning against the window, and hsr dying lover in an un conscious condition at the foot of the sofa, the fatal weapon by his side A physician was summoned, but found Caliill dead. On examination being made of Mrs Sheeline's injuries, it was discovered that tho bullet hail been Btopped by the steel ribs of her corset, and only a bruise marked tho place where it had struck. Scheeline was still not a little perplexed, repeating that he didn't know the man, that ho didn't know his wife know him, and wanting to know what under the sun an outsider was coming into his house trying to kill his wife and killing himself for. Mrs Schecline then returned to her room, and refused to see any one. The Bcrvant was interviewed by a reporter, and stated that Caliill was a frequent visitor to the house, and Mrs t-checline always appeared glad to see him. She was unable to state the average length of his visits, as she always went about her work. Mrs C'lliill gave tho following evidence at the inquest:—Mr Caliill called one day to ask me to accompany his wife to the dress makcr'fl. He called again a week after, wards just as I was going out. lie said he was sick, ana asked if l could tell him the name of v physician my husband had recommended. He Inst came at half-past one o'clock last Wednesday. The bell lang and the girl conducted him to the diuing room where I sat sewing. As he entered the room he shook hands with me. I noticed that he looked strange, uiul asked if he had been sick, lie replied that he had been very sick. He sat down on fie lounge and placed his bauds to bis head, looking very despondent. I asked him why he did not change physicians, and he said that lie was discouraged, and felt that he would never be well aguin. I spoke to him about a phy sician who was attending a niece of my husband's, and inquired after his wife, anil at that time the servant girl passed through the room. I then noticed him take a pistol, resembling tho one shown, from his right hip pocket. I supposed ho intended to change it from one pocket to another, as his right hip pocket was against the head of the lounge. He handled it so carelessly that it frightened me, and I told him to be careful. lie made uo reply, but rose up looking very wild, and I then ran out ot the room. I think ho held the pistol in his right hand, pointing towards himself. I did not see him point the pistol towards me. As I ran into the kitchen I heard tho report of a pistol, I did not feel anything strike me. I ran down the back steps and through the yard towards the street. As I was going through the yard 1 felt a dis tressing pain in my left side, and noticed that my dress was torn. I do not remember hearing but one shot. I heard a fall as I rau down the back steps. I scood at the front gate and a neighbour asked me if I was hurt. I said, yes, I was shot, and she took me to her house across the street, where I ttayed un til my husband came. I found a slight wound in my left side, caused by the whale bone of my corset, which bad been broken by the bullet. I did not sre the deceased make one endeavor to shoot me. I do not know of any occasion why he should have shot inc. We friendly terms and never hud a quarrel, and I was friendly with bis wife. The jury returned a verdict of suicide.

SUPREME COURT.-THIS DAY.

(Judge's Chambees.)

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.) The usual bi-weekly sitting in Chambers took place this morning, and the business which came before His Honor kept him engaged till within a few minutes of one o'clock. First of all, there were a number of petty applications, which were soon disposed of, and then three or four cases came up, in which the settlement of issues was required. Finally, a disputed point in the arrangement of costs had to be decided. We append a summary otthe business. Bamk of new south Wales v. the Royal Insurance Company.—Mr E. Hesketh for plaintiffs and Mr MacCormick for defendants.—The latter gentleman ap plied for leave to demand the plea.—Mr Hesketh, on the ground that the proposed amendment raieccl a pure question of law# —

His Honor thought if the application were acceded to, the plaintiil's would be unneces* sarily subjected to heavy expense, and he, therefore, refused it. Leave was given the defendants, however, to demur to the declaration, and the issues were settled. The demurrer is to be argued on the 29th inst.— Mr Hesketh applied for costs, but His Honor declined to make an order.

Re Trustees of the late Mrs Chur ton's Estate.—This was an application by Mr Hesketh on behalf of the trustees for directions as to the service of notices of an intention to sell part of the property. His Honor directed that all the parties of age, and resident in the colony, who where bene licially interested, should receive notice, as well as Mrs Bennett, of New South Wales, and the parents or guardians of interested minors. He said he would further consider the question whether Mrs Marvin, who lives ia Jamaica, might be dispensed from service. The notice is to be advertised iv both STAR and " Herald."

Sutton v. Corcoran, and Simpson v. CoucoiWN. —Mr George for plaintids, and Mr E. Hesketh for defeudant.—ln theso cases the bsues were settled. It was remarked that they would prove the most interesting actions to bo tried at the next Circuit Sittings.

Hahley v. Union Eire and Marine Insurance.—Mr McKechnie for plaintiff and Mr E. Ilesketh for defendants.—The issues in this case were settled and the hearing lixed for the next Circuit Sittings before a common jury.

ISnittiiAM v. Ohamiiebs.—Mr E. Hes keth tor plaintiff and Mr Lusk for defen. dant. Directions were asked as to the taking of costs, the main point in dis pute being as to whether the defendant was allowed to charge in the accounts moneys paid by him for interest before the mortgages were assigned him, or whether ho should be re-united to the in terest paid him after ho took the assign ment.—Mr Hesketh argued that tlie de fendant should be restricted to charge the interest paid by him after he became transferee. — His Honor was of opinion that the defendant was entitled to charge as in teicst all moneys paid by him, whether iv the character of transferee or in that of trustee, and that if he had not kept down tho interest he would have to pay a larger amount of arrears on taking the assignment of the mortgage. This concluded the sitting.

To tho Editor: Sir,—Herewith wo have tho pleasure to forward you a letter from New Zea land bearing testimony to the successful treat ment of a skin disease of long standing through the use of our Eucalyptus Kxtract for the bene fit of those similarly afflicted. We hope you will deem the subject of sufficient importance to afford this letter a space in your valuable paper.—Youre truly, SANDER & SONS. Bridge-Btrect, Sandhurst, July, 1880. INVBROARGILL, N.Z., Bth JULY, 1880. Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst. r<« 1 Gentlemen,—Having suffered from eczema (a skin disease which is very prevalent in this colony) for about nine years, i had consulted numerous medical men here and in Australia, and had taken arsenlo, strychnine, iodide of potassium, etc., internally, and had used pre parations of zinc and lead externally. In met I had tried all the remedies known to tho faculty, and what between travelling doctorn' und druggists' bills, had spent a small fortune, almost if not wholly without results, except to injure ray constitution. During a recent visit to Hokitika I was recommended to try your Extract of Eucalyptus Globules by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in a!lo viating a very severe cold, and, no less to my Bin prise than satisfaction, I found tho disease which had troubled me so long was conquered, and tho skin resumed its normal condition. •/>' f This was eiFocted by the external use of less < than two one-ounoo bo'tlcg. You aio welcome to make any use you please of this letter, and I subsoribo myself.—Yours, etc., !, (Signofi) JOHN H. KMtR, Manager, Union Bank of Australia (Limited).
