I did not go into the house till next morning, after m V father had gone to work. I told my mother that I had a great fright the night before, but I did not toll her any more about it, nor did I toll any one after. Some time after, I heard William Sheehan saying they were all gone to Newagh. I heard my father say after thet ho got a pair of boot.s from William Shcohan that had belonged 'to his brother Tom. I saw him wearing them afterwards. Sergeant Dunnay's Evidence. Sorgoant William Dunnay, R.1.C., on fcis oath doposed : I have been stationed al Kildorring for some time. On Sunday, tuo 31st of August, I heard that some human remains had been found in , an -old wall on tho farm of David Brodericfc, Lisanagourncen. I wont to the place with Constables Hawkoa and Joyce. I found some human bones and two skull in a bucket suspended in the well. There were also the remains of tho trunk of a human body. I had them all laid on tho tank, and I removed from the trunk a black cashmere shawl and portion of a black osshmere handkerchief. I then left a police goacd there,which wax continued till the Inquest. I employed a pump-sinker named William Fitzgerald to go down •gain next morning and bring up . whatever more remains might bo in tho ' wall. I(ex6 morning he brought up another skull and more bones. Also a pair '«f laced boots, and the coles of and portion 1«f the baok of a pair of elastic boots ; por tions of « pepper-and-salt tweed coat and vert, and a piece of a woman'c waterproof cloak and some remains oi ■clothing. Those articles have remained in r?«jt«Bstody since. I subsequently showed J the shawl and other articles to Mrs Catherine Duane, and sho identified certain articles as having belonged to Mrs Catherine Sheebsn, formerly of Garrigdowning. The human remains wero subsequently ex amined by Dr., Quinlan. This concluded tho depositions. Sergeant Denny continued his evidence. Tie result of the information contained in those depositions was that an information was laid against William Sheehan charging him with the murder of his mother, brother, 1 . .and lister. A warrant was issued for his apprehension. The warrant waa addressed to him (the witness) individually. It was «goed by Richard Eaton, the magistrate before whom the depositions wero taken. He knew bis signature. Acting in pur euanojof that warrant, be camo out to Wi I lington, in this colony. In Wellington ho tow steps to have tho warrant endorsed by the Governor. He got it endorsed by the ChicS Justice and tho Premier, and also . had. tho, seal of the colony placed upon it. That warrant authorised him to .',": -apprehend William Shoohan if he should be found to Slocolony, and to bring him before umagiitmto, ■' Cr»s*-Kxarain»tion oi Sorgoant Dunnay.

I have produced all tho depositions taken up till Wtime of my leaving Iroland. I know David Duane, whose depositions hag been "ftadnere to-day. I have known him about j «.': fifteen or sixteen months. He was in I - Dublin when he mado that deposition—in a '"' convict settlement there as a convict. He *'• fcu incarcerated on the charge of burglary. The charge was stealing £200 from a public ,:.:, house, and lavishly and oponly spend ing it. His sentence was fivo years' ,:;,-. penal servitude.

To my knowledge, tho father • > never communicated with the police to • : have this lad put in gaol bifore his con f vietlon, because he was a pest to tho neigh bonrhood. Xt ißy Mr Williamson : I believe that before t!i' thet.bbdies in the well were discovered, -David • Duane, about whose depositions I ; ,;have been examined, had made statements with reference to William Sheehan'a connec ; 'ion with the disappearance of the bodies. It'ffluriri consequence of this statement I made six months previously, that they went M np toiMountjoy Prison.

SPORT IN NEW SOUTH WALES

Bioycllnf?.—A Famous Bldo.

This is tho ago of athletics. Boatinj, running, walking, and bicycling play no insignificant part in tho programme of the various sports of this colony. And it is as ie should bo. Nothing ia more worthy oi fostering than that which engenders healthy exorcise and physically benefits those who indulge- therein. Prominent among the four principal athletic pursuits referred to, bicycling may be eaid at tho present day to attract the greatest amount ot admirers and uttontion. From early morn to. dewy ovo, turn in what direction you will, tho bicy clist may bo seen pursuing tho even and noiseless tenor of bid way, not tho observed of all obsorvors, but only us a unit in the crowd, who gee nothing uncommon or uncanny in bis appeurance. Woe botide the unlucky wheelman who had attempted a similar means of araueemont in tho early part of tho present century, more especially after night had fallen in the streets. A small red light in tho distance^ than Suddenly out of the dis tanco a figure shoots.by, moving its lower limbs incessantly, and it is gone, only to give place to another aa, liko ghostly spectres, thoy flit by in silent procession, weird but human. One sight of a bicycle under these circumstances would have lasted our fore lathers to their dying day, and many would have boon tiio tales handed down to the present generation of tho night "the doil was abroad." Nowadays, howevor, the bicycle becomes not only an article of umuso ment, but an article of service, and in many casos it has superseded the horso, notably so in connection with tho delivery of letters und telegrams. Ono of tho moat astonishing feats of tho professional bicyclist rocently camo under our notice, at tho Exhibition Buildings, when Mr KolfO) the champion of the Australian colonies, rodo 100 miles against time. In Chrs. llmins. iosena. he accomplished the distance, fulfilling, with a few soconds to Bpare, the Conditions of tho match. Duringthe performance it was noticeable that, after a few minutos' retire ment from the track, tho champion appeared (although he had hurt his knee) to reaumo his ride with undiminished vigour and in creased speed. Note was mado of this by moro than one of tho spectators, and the great bicyclist was keonly watched ovory dmo he mounted. Speculation was rifo, and many were the surmises indulged in as to what tho champion utilised as a restorer. Some suggested a bath, but that was dismissed on tho grounds of timo. "What ever houses,"saidonoexcitedspectator, "it's up to the handlo; takes no timo, and turns him out as froah as a two-year-old. I'll find out before I go homo if I get a chance at Rolfo." However, tho chanco did not come to hand, and the wished-for information was not imparted on tho occasion. An interviow with tho champion set tho matter at rost, and, far from it being any secrot private preparation that Mr Itolfe uses during hia performances, it came out th.it it was a well-known Gorman remedy within the roach of everyone. Speaking of the great contout betweea John Watson, of Australia, and himself :or the championship of all tho colonies, Mr Rolfo said :—"I dewire to acid my cheerful endorsement of tho good effects I have at all times received from the uso of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent six days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhibition Building for £500 and the championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon com panion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and tho results simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day—viz., from half past 2 until half past 10, my limbs would become sore and stiff from over oxertion, but after being well rubbed with the Oil, all muscular pain immediately vanished, and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positive, after the contest was over, I rode 100 miles against time before a public audience, and I accomplished it in 0 hours 11 minutes 45.^ seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was mado,anditremovedall feelings of fatigue, and I felt perfectly fit for another race. lam positive it aided me to win the match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strnntjly adviso all ' wheel men ' and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully convinced thoir experiences will compare favourably with my own." Comment ix almost unnecessary when facts are bo Figniliraint as to speak for themselves. Not only has Mrllolfo found the benefits of this, tho greatest discovery of the present ago, but thore arc numbers—and their name Is legion—who can unhesitatingly testify to its miraculous and wonderful curative pro perties.

William Ewart Gladstone.

Disraeli was a more showy and rapid man Bismarck has the reputation of being deepei and more far-seeing ; but Gladstone has tho European reputation of Being the man who can hold himself uncommittad to anything until he is ready, and then come with crushing force on hia oppononts. Hia campaign in 1878 waa characteristic oi the man. Ho " went for" the head quarters of the enemy straightaway, and having routed them in Midlothian, returned south, carrying everything beforo him. j He seems on a fair way to repeat the perfor mance Id the present campaign. Ho is a wonder of vitality. Fancy a man of 75 holding all the cares of a vast empire and discharging them with a vigour nevor beaten by his best achievements of 30 years ago, Tho grand Bocrot of so long a life of success is that he has ever taken care of his health. This should be noted by people who are now neglecting tho symptoms of what may lead to pormanent martyrdom, to neuralgia and rheumatism. St. Jacob's Oil costs little, and may bo obtained every where. Why, then, run the risk of having those shooting pains become chronic when the application of so "easily accessible a remedy is a proved preventative J

A Giant Ship.

The Cunard Co. has just launched a mon ster thip, the Umbria, of 8,000 tons,, and with steam pewer up to 12,000 !orto.! Notwithstanding the croakers who pointed to the Great Eastern failure, and who said that sho would prove an ejual failure, o trial trip has proved her the grandost veseel the world has evor seen, having steamed without difficulty or danger up to 24 miles an hour. The Company and tho engineers have covered themselves with glory, and their magnificent success will be followed up now by othor compan ies, who will oven excel the Umbria. It is as certain as that tho sun shines that within a few years tho distance between Australia and England will be covered in 20 days at the outside. Wo can conceive of no moro magnific«nt sight than that of the great 10,000-ton monsters of the future cleaving their way over tho ocean under sail j und steam at tho rato of 30 miles an hour. This the Cunard Co. will cortainly bring a^out within a few years. Speaking of that lino, it may not be generally known that such a thing as a fatal accident has never been known aboard one of their ships. In case of eprains or bruises there is always an ample supply of St. Jacob's Oil aboard, but beyond that the health and well-being of the passengers is left to the care of the officers and good diet.

New Guinea Exploration.

It is always a tempting thing to adventurous spiiits to set out ana explore dew lands. Tho vast island o£ NewGuiuoa is tho Xl Dorado of our restless spiritß; but hitherto all attempts to cross the island havo been fruitless on accjount of the weakness and inexporience of thic ex plorers, and the hostility ot the natives. A Mr Kerry has recently beon KivinK us some- t'aotß and fancies of a tour, in which he asserts they found 12 f?rent rivere, ranging from threo qaaitera to a mila wide, aud also somo tplemiid specimens of gold. He has shown same ol the gold, and that of itself is sure to draw iurthir investigation. But it appears tho party msrle very free with their guns. This ia the fatal m.a take of a small party. They are afraid, and the natives know It. what in required is a par:y large enough, and sufficiently equipped with pro visions, ammunition (and St. Jacob's Oil. in case ot neuralgia or rheumatism caught from ex po3ure), and moans of keeping up a clear track of communication from behind. Whether such a party can bo got together by private enter- Eriße remains to be seen. Ono thing is certain, owever: Whatever means are adopted to cross tho ieland, a decided step should be token to prevent this indiscrlmiuato shooting down of men who have an undoubted right to tnoir own land.

Ocean Races.

Thbrb la no grander spectacle in the ■world than that of a great ship cleaving her trackless way across the tumbling waves. By the appli cation of steam we have now been able to attain a, rate o£ speed undreamt of in old times; aud, just as we admire first the great racehorse for his speed, and then join in the maddening ex citement of a great race, bo now the same spirit has been carried into ocean racing. Enormous vessels, carrying hundreds of pas ssDgers and untold wtalth, go tearing across broad oceans, striving to outstrip each other by a few hours in a race ot thousands of miles. The spectacle is certainly grand; but how about the safety of the people 1 It's all very well for shipowner?! to pocket their profits; but isn't it abft too in imn when the lives o£ hundreds depend' upon Die uioe?
