AN ENGLISH SCANDAL

Singular Action for Slander.

London, November 20. The trial of tho suit of Adams against Coleridge begun today in the Court of Queen's Bench. The plaintiff is a wealthy man well known in London society circles, and was, until recently, en gaged to bo married to Miss Mildred Mary Coleridgo, the only daughter of Baron Coleridge, Lord Chief Justice of England. During this engagement Bernard Coleridge, the oldest son and heir of the Lord Chief Justice, heard some accusations affecting the moral character of Adams. Ho investigated the charges, and satisfied him self that they wore true. Then he wrote a long letter to hia sister, in which he de nounced Adams as a libertine and an objectionublo pornon in many respects. lie cited Home facts to corroborate his charges, and said that in regard to certain offences, the details of which were too shocking to bo communicated to her, ho would furnish such proofs as would bo conclusive to tbo mind of their father, if sho were not al ready convinced that her lover was un worthy of her. Miss Coleridge at first re fused to believe the accusations against Adams, and at his request showed him her brother's letter. Adams asked to be allowed to keep the letter, and declared he would be able to convince her and all of her family that its allegations wcro false, and that he had been maligned and deeply injured. Miss Coleridge Burrondered it to him, but he failed to refute the charges, and tho lady peremptorily broke off the engage ment. Adams then brought suit for heavy damages against Bernard Coleridge. If Coleridge is required to prove the truth of his charges, he says he is thoroughly prepared to do so, and tj show that ho was justified in seeking to save his sister from a union which would be a life long misery and a disgrace. Tho scandal loving public eagerly hopes that Coleridge will be compelled to produce his evidence against Adams, as it is whispered that several men and women of high rank' will be implicated. Adams conducted his own case to-day. His opening speech stated that he was en gaged to the daughter of Judge Coleridge. The Judge objected to him for a son-in-law, and induced hia son Bernard to write a let ter to his daughter libolling him (Adams). The young lady turned the letter over to her betrothod. This led to her expulsion from hor father's house, and tho expunging of her name from her father's will.

The defendant entered the plea that tho letter was a privileged communication. Tho letter written fey Bernard Coleridge to his sister warned hor that Adams was prompted only by a desire to gain money and position. Adams bad admitted, so the letter alleged, that he considered Miss Coleridge to bo void of personal charms. Adams to-day denied all tho statements in Bernard's letter, and said that Bernard was actuated by a desire to get control of hia sister's money. Adams contended that Bernard and his father had thrust the mar riage upon him. He was thrown much in tho society of Miss Coleridge in a charitablo institution, of which ho was Secrotary and she won a member. At that time he had no idea of marriage. Ho was much as tonished when ho received the letter from Lord Coleridge breaking off the engage ment.

The Judge ruled that theio statements wero inadmissible. Adams replied that in that cose he might as well throw up his brief.

London, November 22. — The action for libel which was brought by F. 11. Adams, barrister, against Bernard Coleridge, was resumed to-day. Adams continued hit opening remarks. He said he had much affection for Miss Coleridge, but he had no thought of marrying her. Attorney-Gen eral James submitted that the plaintiff had no case, and must be nonsuited. The Juci-o ruled that Bernard's letter was a privileged communication, and Adams, in order to maintain his caee, must prove expro?s inalico or dishonesty on the part of Bernard Ho decided to leave the case to tho jury, reserving to himself, howover, tho ri^ht to decide the action on v point of law in case the verdict was not warranted by tho evi dence.

Adams continued his statements, and said he and Miss Colerid.se were now re solved to get married. The case was cub milted to toe jury, who, after some delibera tion, brought in a verdict for plaintiff of £'3,000. The Judgo overruled toe vordict, and gave judgment for Coleridge with costs.

A STORY OF THE SEA.

Adventures of a Party of Shipwrecked Mon.

Nkw York, November 17. — The "Tri bune" says:—Tho American ship Pactolus, which arrivod at this port yesterday from Yokohama, brought as second and third mates H. VV. Drohan and H. 0. Percy, who formerly filled the same berths on the thip Reindeer, wrecked on the Marshall Islands. The story of tho wreck and subsequent advonturos of tho officers and crow, as told by tho mates to a reporter, is as follows :—Tho ship Reindeer, an American vessel of 1,000 tons, sailed from Phila delphia, August 1, 1883, bound for Japan with a cargo of oil. She was commanded by Captain Morrison. There were three mates and a steward in the cabin, and twenty men before the mast. She had fair winds around the Horn, and on •entering tho South Pacific laid her course for Japan. The night of January 2, ISS-t, was a dark and stormy one, and tho ship being oat of her coarse, struck on a reef near one of tho Marshall Islands. Taking to tho boats, the officers and crew escaped to an island, upon which thoy landed. It is called Ejal, and lies in lati tude 7dog. SOmin. N., longitude 173deg. 30min. W.

When morning broke, the shipwrecked mon found themselves on an island covered with palms and other luxuriant vegetation of the tropicß. A party of natives, whose skin was of the colour of a new saddle, and whose only clothing was a piece of matting tied around the waist, came out of tha palm groves and down to the. white coral beach to welcome the sailors. A stal wait native of middle ago and commanding prosonce was tho loader.' Ho was king of t that and all the adjacent islands, and called himself Lijah Balock. This name he evidently derived from American traders, whoso vessels, he said, camo at rare in tervals to his island kingdom. Ling Lijah treated the shipwrecked men of the Reindeer with great courtesy, even giving his own palace for their accommo dation. The royal abode is 30 x 20 feet, and is possessed of many comfoits wanting in the humbler huts of King Lijah's subjects. Every day fresh yams and cocoanuts wore brought to the palace by the King's order for the use of the Americans. On the island of Ejal lived fifty natives, and on the thirteen small islands surrounding it 200 more. From" all the surrounding islands these came in their canoes to visit the guests of the King. > For over a month the_ shipwrecked sailors waited for a ship to visit the islands, but no ship came. King Lijah told them of an island far to the northweat called Ulan, where ships stopped frequently. It was, he thought, 280 miles away. Finally the second [mato, Drohan, started, with four men in the long boat of the ' Reindeer, which had been saved from the wreck, to find the island of Ulan. The diet of fruit, on which the sailors had subsisted since tho wreck, had decreased their strength, and the men were in bad physical condition. Before the eecond mate loft the island of Ejal, the cook, Frank ijmith, died of dropsy. Drohan took with him in the boat a supply of water and fruit, and sailed away. Day after day the men toiled at the oars, for only an occasional Wind blew over the tropic sea to propel the boat or temper the heat of the burning sun.

Day after day the men strained their eyes to see some palm-clothed island riße from the sea, or to catch sight of a eail. The shipwrecked sailors watching for a sail, but seeing no sail from day to day, felt their strength gradually failing, and one of the men, Peter Dawson, died from exhaus tion. After being in the boat for eleven days, and having gone 900 miles in search of tho island of Ulan, a vessel was sighted. Slio proved to bo tho barque Catallina, of London, Captain Williams, from Newcastle, N.S. W., bound for Saigon, Cochin China. The wanderers of the sea, with their boat, were taken on board and well-cared for until their arrival at Saigon. There the French Consul, discharging the duties of American Consul, the United States having no representative in the port, was afraid to send the men to Hongkong, whither they wished to go to get shipped to this country. Mr Tranlett, the Bri tish Consul, however, bdieving that "blood is thicker, than water," took the men in charge, and forwarded them to Hougkong, with a letter to Colonel Idosby. Mosby, the mates both declare, refused to assist them. They went then on board the American man-of-war Essex, which was in the harbour, and laid their case before Captain McCorraick. He

communicated with Admiral Davis, com manding the Asiatic squadron, who ordered the Essex to go immediately to the Marshall Islands and rescue the rest of the Reindeer's crew. The Essex took the two mates and their men along, andjarrived at the island of fijal three months and ten days after the wreck. It was found that Captain Morrieon and ten men left the island one month before for Jeluit in a schooner which they had built. The rest of the men were taken on board, and the Essex went to Yokohama. Thero the second and third mates secured berths on tho Pactolus, and the sailors shipped on other vessels.

A PANIC IN A THEATRE.

Sixteen Persons Killed and Twelve Badly Injured.

Glasgow, November I.—There was a panic this evening at the Star Theatre, caused by the cry of lire. During the rush of the auclionco to escape from the buildiDg, sixteen persons were killed, and twelve Hcriously injured. The performance had proccedod without interruption until shortly after nino o'clock, when some porsonß shouted " Fire !'' and the wholo audionce instantly rose to their foot and made a rush to the oxits. The great mass of pooplo in the pit, in rushing therefrom, mat the crushing crowd pouring down from the gal lery. A fearful and fatal block followed. The wild shrieks of agony and despairing cries for help could not then bo answered. The mass of panic-stricken and struggling humanity was appealed to by the officers of the theatre and by the police to hold back, but the appeals wero unheeded. The crazed crowd frantically pressed towards the outlets, trampling down and over tho weaker ones until the street was reached. When the theatre was finally cleared, sixteen corpses were found on the stairs leading from-the gallery, and twelve per sons were so badly injured that they only gave evidence that life was not extinct by their piteous moans. Upon the first alarm being rung, the whole fire brigade quickly went to the rescue, "and with the police tried their utmost to allay the .panic and rescue the dead and dying, but they were too late to be of much effective service. The police and citizens finally succeeded in forcing their way into the building, and then aided all they could to escape to the street, but the mass was so wedged that they wero sadly interfered with in their humane labours. Tho city ambulance corps conveyed tho wounded and dead to the infirmary. The wounded were so over come that they were as helpless as the dead. It wasjearned that the author of the cry of fire was a former employee of the theatre who had been dismissed. The audienco numbered about 2,000. The per formance was chiefly music-hall business.

Another account says the alarm arose while a trapeze performer was taking a dive from the ceiling of* tho theatre to a net hanging in tnid-sic, and one of the audience shouted "Fire!" meaning that tho performer had gone too near the footlights. Glasgow, November 2.—Vhe man whoso cry of " Fire !" caused tho panic in the Star Theatro last evening has been ai.ested. He was drunk when he raised the false alarm. Persons in the theatre at the time describe the scene on the staircase as terrible. Tho steps were strewn with ribbons, hats, sacquos and shawls. The victims were iirst suffocated and then trampled upon. The panic lasted fifteen minutes. It is a noteworthy fact that the authorities had disapproved of tho means cf exit and contemplated the construction of an additional exit from the gallery. The scenes witnessed when the relatives identified the dead Avere most affecting. Among tho victims were eight men.

AN EMBEZZLING BELGIAN.

A Commercial Traveller's Career of Dissipation,

New York, November 16. — A Cable special from London says : A Belgian named Bosch has just been arrested at .Dover, after a remarkable series of ad ventures, aod sent to Belgium to answer a charge of embezzling about 20,000d015. Bosch is a young man, and was a commercial traveller and collected for a wholesale wine dealer in Brussels. In March hint he found himself in possession of more than 100,000 franca of his ejiplover'a money and absconded with it to England and landed at .Dover; thence he proceeded by easy stages to Liverpool, spending the money lavishly along the way. He never made use of any public conveyance, be lieving that a watch would be kept upon railway and other passengers, and it is said that ho walked all the way from Dover to Liverpool. He took the journey leisurely and lived riotously all the time,stopping at different public-houses as he camo to them and indulging without stint in every form of dissipation. When he reached Liverpool ho had only a few pounds left and he spent the last shilling in buying a steerage passenger's ticket and outfit in a steamer bound for New York. He went across tho Atlantic, but being a pauper was not allowed to land at New York and was brought back on the same steamer by which he went out and turned adrift at Liverpool. He wanted to return to Belgium, and having no other resource, tramped back from Liverpool to Dover, begging his way at places where a few weeks before ho had spent money like a prince. He arrived in Dover ragged, famished and footsore, and, crazed by his sufferings and exposure, was arrested as an insane vagabond, and at the police station it was noticed that he answered to the de scription of the embezzler Bosch, who had been wanted by tho police for eight months. He did not deny his identity, and has been sent to Belgium, where he will bo placed in a lunatic asylum.

AMERICAN SUMMARY.

San Francisco, November 24.—The Coloured National Committio of New Orleans have called a convention of coloured people to consider the situation of their class under the approaching Democratic rule, wages and workmen being largely reduced everywhere in the Eastern States.— Betting on Presidential election had been tremendously in favour of the Republicans, who laughed at the Democrats for betting on their man in face of what they considered foregone defeat.—McClellan, woollen manu facturer, speaking before the Central and South American Commission holding their sessions at San Francisco, said if Australian wools were admitted into America, it would give such an impetus to woollen manufac ture as would improve the value of all American wools.—Captain Bedford Pirn, R.N., was interviewed in' New York on his return from Panama. He gave it as his opinion that De Lesseps's canal is im practicable.—Tcemer, oarsman, who is an nounced to meet Hanlan, lost a raco with Gadpur at Crove Coour Lake, near San St. Louis.

A THEATRICAL NOVELTY.

London, November 17.—The theatrical public is curiously awaiting the production of the new opera-bouffe, "Tho Grand Mogul," at the Royal Comedy Theatre, Tuesday night. The sensational feature of the piece will bo the introduction of real snakes on the stage. Miss Florence St. John is the heroine, and takes the part of a snake-charmer. In one act she brings on the stage two large serpents, genuine cobras de capillo, and twines them about her arms, her neck and her waist, talking to them gently, and at last protending to kiss them. Of course their poison glands are extracted, but persons who have seen the performance at the rehearsal? declare it to be a horribly suggestive and flesh-creeping Bl^*U Tv? *"*£<». iB> WM »t takeT or will it be hissed off the stage ?

Wonders of the Age.

Why is it so many people &re never satisfied? Their homes are marvels of comfort and luxury, friends are generous and affectionate; thoy arc educated and refined, capable, notonly of enjoying, but of imparting happiness to others; yet thoy are dissatisfied, miserable, and, really without intending to do no, make others miserable. Their blood is impure, they have taken a heavy cold, or they are bilious. A few doses of Emil Frese's Hamburg Tea would remore all obstructions, and enable them to enjoy, with renewed zest, the pleasures they are now compelled to forego.

The Symptoms Entirely Dis appeared.

Sydney, February 13,1881. Dear Sir.-About a month ago I was advise* to use your Hamburg Tea for a severe attack of indigestion from which I waa suffering. For some time previously I had been anboted wltn pains in the liver and stomach, and constant. headache and oppression. Since taking tho. Hamburg Tea these symptoms have entirely disappeared, and I have Dever since been troubled with them. I have every confidence in recommending it, and have witnessed its use in other casea with like result.—Yours f aithfmßy, James 8. Donovan.
