OUR SYDNEY LETTER.

(in. the-"Vagabond.")

DEATH,

FOB a week there has been controversy as to the mysterious illness which seized four men employed in erecting a bridge at Bal main. This is a Government job, superin-

tended by an enigneer of the Roads and Bridges Department. The men were work ing in tbe cylinders, 102 ft. deep; these were supplied with fresh air by means of a pump driven by a steam engine. These four men were taken with cramps, and re moved to the hospital, one ot them died the following day. Then the medical fraternity was bothered, till Dr. Belgrave came to the rescue, and informed the jury that the men died, not through want of air, but through too much of it, 'the effect of too much atmospheiie pressure acting on the lungs and heart." This has been called "caissoon fever" in the United _ States, where sevoral men had died of it, The whole report of the proceedings appears to have been rather mixed. The "Herald makes tho learned medico fay that "the ordinary pressure of tbe atmosphere is twenty-eight pounds to the square inch " Any schoolboy knows that it is only' lßlbs. I daresay, however, this is only the " Herald's " bluuder. However, the whole evidence shewed that there had been great neglect on tho part of those in authority, and the rider of the .ury, that the men working in the cylinder should bo employed on shorter shifts, will doubtless be attended to. But it is now rumoured that the men did not die from "atmospheric pressure " at all, but from real poisoning by impure air. POISONOUS OILS " Machine oil" of the common sort is full of mineral impurities, in an ordinary heated atmosphere very prejudicial to huinaa life. But when driveu down a tube at a pressure of 4,11bs to the square inch to the bottom of a narrow cylinder, the temperature of which is over 100; its effects have been lately witnessed. For it seems that the air pump was kept con tinually lubricated with this poisonous oil, instead of sweet oil. A few engineers would have been able to assist tho doctors at the inquest. If this had been a private contract inst.arl of a Government one the matter would not have been hushed up aa it has been. THE LICENSING ACT. Drunkenness in tbe small hours is in creasing, The first weeks that this measure was iv force there was doubtless a diminution in this form of social ; offence, JVoav, Ihe supply of houses \ illegally opened after hours, and of sly ' grog Bhops is fully equal to the demand. ' The present result of the Act is that respect- ; able publicans are deprived of doing a legi- ! timate business, and houses which aro not \ respectable are making a harvest, tbe people being poisoned with bad liquor at these, | This is tho sort of thing one sees now, '. if one wants a drink at 2 a.m., after : leaving a newspaper office, if you do not J happen to belong to the so-colled Literary j Club, which counts so very tew of the jour, nalists of this ci ty amongst its members:—A ' hy.street in Woolloomooloo, a pub. closely j shut np, not a gleam of light to be seen, a man smoking his pipe on she kerbstone, ' and two other men loafing at each corner 6 of the block. If you are known, the man with tho pipe opens the door with a latch key, and you are led by unseen bands along a dark passage, the mystery as to whether yonr cicerone is young and pretty or old and ugly brightening the enjoyment, until you reach a large room in the 1 rear. The door being opened, by tho I light of one gas lamp, fifteen to twenty t men will be found di inking, the bar being r in a kitchen dresser. Some of the biggest \ scoundrels in Sydney may be seen there. It is in such places that men are poisoned with bad whisky, and "plants" to cheat j and rob are " put up " on the unwary. ( POLITICAL. _ Ministers are occupied with making trips around the harbour or up the Blue Moun- , tains with " distinguished visitors." The "* heads of departments are having it their own way, and generally, 1 should say, their way would be better than that of their ( Parliamentary superiors. The press tele graph ukase is, however, understood to be the work of Mr Cracknell, Ho and the political heaa, Mr Stephen Campbell J Brown, ought to have known better, Mr I Brown, as a lawj'er, bears tho highest . character, as a politician, he is creditable, i having, nt one time, aspiration! to B he Premier, but as a man of / the world he is a failure. The _ attack mode on tbe pockets of the country newspaper proprietors will nover be for- , gotten. As regards Mr Cracknell, he owed a good deal to the press, and although in his heart I daresay he "damns the news papers," still when Parliament meets he <\ will find out his mistake. There is a power - behind the throne—even that of Sir _ 'Enery, „ d DIBBS AND SH-PHERD. ? Mr G. K. Dibbs, having paid ail his credi- „ tors in fall, Mr John Shepherd has received his share of the plunder. To celebrate this c victory, J. S. is giving a series of picnics to j Ms friends, and I understand doing the thing en grand seigneur. But the end is _ not yet. *

FEMALE EDUCATION.

I know a most charming young lady from Melbourne, a pupil ~t "The Ladies' College " there. She can tell you all about Marie Antoinette, Elizabeth and Mary Stuart, but is totally ignorant of the ex istence of Vera csasselovitch or Sophy Fetrowsky. She has a vague idea that the late Czar wa3 killed, but knowa not the why or wherefore. On all other contem poraneous historical events her' mind ia n Wank. Newspapers, it appears, are tabued to our rising young women. This is the reason they are generally such—sweet crea tures. I suggest the establishment iv all war capitals of "chairs " of contemporaneous JMstory, literature, and jonrnalism, for Hie instruction of fair Australians. I would not mind myself taking a class once or twice a week, AMUSEMENTS. '•No Mercy" is still running to good houses ai the Gaiety; a Vice-Regal com mand night on Wednesday. Miss Pomeroy lias made ajhit at last at the Royal. Miss Ada Ward I finishes a successful season this THEATRICAL. As all tho papers say that "No Mercy " {expressly written for Mr Dampier), is a success, it would be false modesty if I did not myself mention it. I have to thank the critics of the Sydney journals for their very able and flattering notices. When I com menced this piece, I received a great deal of kind advice from people who thought they knew, "Don't you lay the scene in Aus tralia ; nothing Australian ever paid ye\" "Don'fc'you announce it .under your own name! 'the public don't care about local authors. Wait till it has run for a week and then come out." I disregarded all this advice. I thought that the people of Aus tralia would support and encourage other forms of colonial industry besides cricket and rowing, and the result proved I was right. In all literary works one obtains ideas frbm others, unless like the German you evolve the camel from the depths of your Inner consciousness. This is especially co in play-writing, and I have to acknow ledge kindly suggestions and assistance jfrom Mr Richard Stewart, Mr L. P. Sachs (of Hermit Park, Townsville), and Mr Alfred Dampier.—Miss Ada Ward still continues a great success at the Queen's, but Miss Pomerey and Shakespeare- are not supported as they ought lo be at the RoyaL; _

The hulk Clara Hargreaves, which was purchased by the Government for quaran tine purposes, was handed over to tbe Public Works Department more than a fortni»ht sinco, and yet no step 3 have been takento fit her up with tie necessary ap paratus for fumigating mail", etc. Delay in this matter may mean much pecumary Loss and inconvenience, for a vessel with small-pox or other infectious disease may put into; the harbour aiiy day. Then, even although a large sum of meney has been expended in the purchase of a vessel, the mails will have to go through the process at' Motuibi es formerly, while the hulk is lying useless alongside of the wharf. We cannot understand why the work should be so postponed, and would urge upon the Public Works Department the'necessity for hating the barque fitted out and anchored at the quarantine ground without delay.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

A Boy Dangerously Injured.

Fathers McDonald and Garavel

Have a Narrow Escape,

A CAB accident of a most unfortunate char acter occurred about eight o'clock last evening in that portion of West Queen street between Chapel and Albert-streets. The vehicle in question was owned and driven by Mr rierb.it Brunton, and only a moment before the deplorable occurrence, it had left the Catholic Presby tery in Wyndham-street on its way to the wharf, irather Garavel, Father Walter Mc- Donald, and Mr Patrick Darby, were_.the inside passengers, while a boy of twelve years, named Charles McLaughlin, occupied tlie box seat with the driver. Immediately after the Chapel-street corner was rounded, I the off-wheels of the cab came into contact J with a lorae heap of clay, whicn had been left there by the workmen engaged in lay ing the main drain in that thoroughfare. Singularly enough, there was no barricade around it, nor had the precaution of placing a light over tho mound been taken by those in charge. The night was very dark, and consequently it is not at all surprising that the driver failed to see the obstruction. All the occupants of the carriage were thrown out on to the roadway by the force of tho concussion, but the boy McLaughlin and the driver, Brunton, fared worst. The former fell under the footboard, and amongst the feet of the struggling horses, where he was observed by Mr J. C. Young. A number of volunteers rushed forward, and raised the front part of the cab, while Mr and Mrs Longbottom, Mrs Bitchie, and others dragged him out unconscious from the perilous position. Blood was .lowing freely from a number of wounds on tho head and face of the poor boy, and it was seen that his skull had been smashed. Be was con veyed across to the residence of Dr Lee, and that gentleman recommended his immediate removal to the Hospital, which was done without delay, He was attended by Dr Philson, who dressed the injuries, but held cut no hops of lccovery, Brunton, thecabman, sustained ratberaseriousinjury to bis leg, which has temporarily lamed him, but Fathers McDonald and Garavel, and Mr Dai by escaped with several bruises, Father Walter also having received asliglit contusion on tbe knee. The forepart of the carriage was completely smashed, and the horses have also been somewhat injured. Most deplorable consequences have attended the accident, and no doubt a full enquiry will be made by the proper authorities, with the object of ascertaining who was to bl.nie for leaving tbe street io such a dangerous Btite. MessrsTt, Archibald and W, Mason are the contractors for the work in West Queen-street, and the by-laws provide that properly lighted lamps must be kept burning over these street improvement! during the hours between sunrise and sunset, Father Garavel, who was ou his way to the wharf at the time of the unfortunate occurrence, left for Sydney last night by the Rotorua. Father Walter McDonald, Mr Brunton, and Mrs McLaughlin speut some time at tho bedside of the boy last night. Tho lad is a son of tho late Mr Ber nard McLaughlin, auctioneer, of Whan garei, and he has been of great assistance to his mother, who is a widow, living in Alexandra-street, and who maintains her self and family by taking in washing

Latest Particulars.

Ko Hope o. the Boy's Recovbby.

Father Walter McDonald visited tho Hospital at noon to-day, and found that tbe boy McLaughlin was slightly better. Up till after three o'clock he was doing as well as could bo expected, but no hope whatever ' was held out of the boy's recovery, Pre ce«dings for Manslaughter. Should ibis accident have a fatal termina- j tion, it is tbe intention of the police to pro-! cced against tbo contractors for man- j slaughter.

The adjourned annual meeting this society was held last evening In tho Insuranco Build ings, Mr Thos. Holder presiding. Tho atten dance was but small. Mr M. S. Leers, gecretarr, presented the following statement o£ accounts :—

' 1, Tr . .. In answer to a question nut by Mr Hunt, the secretary stated that tho balanco in hand 'where with to meet any claims that might arise amounted to £22, and if a larger claim than.that wore made it could not be mot. At the time he took tho direction of the concern, however, it waa quite insolvent. He had been trying his best to raise it to a solvent position, and he had therefore taken care to incur no fresh liabili ties. The £65 duo to himself was in respect of rent and salary. He had paid cveryono bnt himself. Under circumstances like theso, tho committee had not felt themselves in a position to take new lives or to send'out canvassers. If they had done that; arid had Induced new people to come into a concern which they knew to bo insolvent, it would havo boen obtaining money under false pretences. Consequently for tho last year and a half they had not taken a life The Chairman remarked that people would not do business with tho society on being told the truth regarding its position. '""... 1 Mr Hunt said tnat he hod known that tho society had sustained certain losses, but he had undorstopd that they wero to bp repaid. The Chairman replied that the Bpcigty had bewi let into a debt of Between £200 and Mr Bird observed that tho collector had told hira that that was to be paid back in a few Mr Leers answered that tho collector had no authority' for making any Suoh state ment. It was asked if the money would .be paid back, and ho had said that if a company were formed ho would use his utmost endeavours to Mr Hunt asked if the death claims; put down at £55, had been paid. _ The Chairman said they had not. He then proposed the adoption of the balance- The motion was seconded by Mr and pae.ed unanimously. '' ' The Chairman then mado a short explanatory statement of the position of the society. Whferj they took it up it was. he said, insolvent, but it was better now, for tho liabilities had been very much reduced, and a very small amount would Boillce to wipe them off. The new committee had joined the society with the view of forming it into a distinct company, with a guarantee fund of £5,000 to insure that tho death claims should be paid. They'succeeded in getting 12 centlemen who wore willing to become guaran tors for that amount, but two or three of them being connected with the Accident Society, sug gested the amalgamation of the two. It was found however, that tho other society, not being' entitled to assure hyes, could not legally amalgamate, and Mr Whitaker was Been with the view of inducing ,tho Government to pass a measure enabling them totako up lives. He had authority for.saying that such a mcasuro would be passed next ses sion, and they would then be .bio to amalga mate with tho Accident. For tho present the committee had decided not to take any_ mora , new lives, as. that .would only increase liabili ties; which jn case of amalgamation would have to bo paid up. Altogether it would be better to wait throe months longer before taking any final step. The Accident Company intendod taking them up, and then they would bo relieved of all anxiety. • In reply to a lady member, tho secretary adr mitted that if in tho meantime any of the assured died the assurance money could not be PMrHunt suggested that, in order to clear off the claim at present unpaid, a levy of 6d .or so shT_vLce^ohjectcd'to this proposition. Ho said that j. .the levy had not been made the -nr-if-tv would have been in a better position. Their weekly income at fto time was about £15' but as soon'as the levy was made it dropped downto£s.The names, -however ofthose'wno h .r. ceased their payments were still kept on tho bo^ks and fhey were responsible for their share °,_f^frtaokly agreed to carry on the B«U°raS^unt, Meldrum, and wffi were appointed the committee of golne. loSfeoand to Mr Leers concluded tho business. ■■■■

Messrs Oliver, Bond, Isitt, and Morley, chairman of the Auckland distrlct.were amongst I those present. After devotional exercises, tlie chairman made a few remarks on the occasion which had called them together, and then called on Mr F. A. White, secretary to the church, to read the annual report and balance-sheet. This showed that the gross revenue for tho past year had been £517 'Is Id. Tho liability, which had been increased by £270, _ tho cost of enlarging the minister's residence, now amounted to £1,000. Of this amount £7GB had been promised, and a further efl.rt would be made to wipe off the remaining liability. The progress of both church and Sunday-school during the past year was satisfactory.—Thanks wero returned to Messrs W. B. and J. V. White, who had collected sufficient funds to purchase tho present organ.—The report having been adopted, addresses wore delivered by the I Rev. Messrs Isitt, George Bond, W. Morley, and W. Oliver, the latter taking occasion to 1 return thanks to the chair for the assistance I rendered him during the past year. Mr W. Burton, ono of tho circuit stewards, moved a voto of thanks to the Rev. Mr Isitt, who is about to leave for Mnstorton.
