CONFESSION AND EXECUTION OF LIPSKI.

The following is the confession of Lipski, who was executed for the Whitechapel murder:—

" I, Israel Lipski, before I appear before God in judgment, desire to speak the whole truth concerning the crime of which I am accused. I will not die with a lie on my lips. I will not let others suffer even in suspicion for my sin. 1 alone was guilty of the murder of Miriam Angel. I thought the woman had money in her room, co I entered, the door being unlocked and the woman asleep. I had no thought of violating her, and I swear I never approached her with that object, nor did I wrong her in this way. Miriam Angel awoke before I could search about for money, and cried out, but very softly. Thereupon I struck her on the head and beized her by the neck, and closed her mouth with my hand, so that she should not arouse the attention of those who were about the house. I had long been tired of my life, and had bought a pennyworth of aquafortis that morning for the purpose ot putting an end to myself. Suddenly I thought of the bottle I had in my pocket, and drew it out and poured some of the contents down her throat. She fainted, and, recognising my desperate condition, 1 took the rest. The bottle was an old one which 1 had formerly used, and was the same as that which 1 had taken with me to the oilshop. The quantity of aquafortis I took had no effect on me. Hearing the voices of people coming upstairs, I crawled under the bed. The woman seemed already dead. There was only a very short time from the moment of my entering the room until I was taken away. In the agitation I also fainted. I do not know how it was that my arms became abraded. I did not feel it, and was not aware, of it. As to the door being locked from the inside, I myself did this immediately after I entered the room, wishing nob to be interrupted. I solemnly declare that Rosenbloom and Schmuss knew nothing whatever of the crime of which I have been guilty, and I alone. I implore them to pardon me for having in my despair tried to cast the blame upon them. I also beseech the forgiveness of the bereaved husband. I admit that I

have had a fair trial, and acknowledge the justice of the sentence that has been passed upon me. I desire to thank Mr Hay ward for his efforts on my behalf, as well as all those who have interested themselves in me during this unhappy time. This con fession is made by my own free will, and is written down by Mr Singer, at my re quest. May God comfort my loving father and mother, and may He accept my repent ance and my death as an atonement for all

my sins.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Sir John Thurston long associated with British rule in the Fiji Islands, has made a bitter complaint to tho Colonel Foreign Office respecting its apathy on the subject of German aggression in the South Pacific. The Samoan difficulty has especially aroused Thurston's anger. The Trafalgar, the largest ironclad ever constructed, was successfully launched, September 20th at Portsmouth. The vessel is 11,940 tons, and of 13,000 horsepower. She is to carry 12 guns, four of sixty-seven tons and eight of forty hundredweight. Her side armour is twenty inches thick. In tho divorce case of.David do Bensauae against his wife, Violet Cameron, the actress, the Court, on Sept. 21st issued an injunction against her husband, re straining him from molesting his wife during their legal separation. Lord Lonsdale, weo acted as tho actress's theatre manager in Now York, admitted ho had been guilty of improper relations with Miss Cameron, and that her child born last May is named Lowther, the Marquis's family

name.

A pamphlet has been circulated in St- Pefcersburg announcing that the reorganisa. tion of the Nihilists has been successfully completed. Nihilism is fast spreading in Siberia, where, during August, forty-five guards absconded, and twenty-throo pri soners escaped.

THE FIRE IN WELLINGTON STREET.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

A coroner's inquisition into the circum stances attendant upon the I'ccent fire in Wellington-street, whereby a shop and two dwelling-houses belonging to Jas. Lyle were destroyed, was opened by Mr H. C. S. Baddeley at eleven o'clock this morning in the Robert Burns Hotel, Union-street. Mr E. Hesketh appeared for John Mc- Namara (occupant of bhe shop in which the outbreak occurred), and Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the Royal Insurance Company, while Detectivo Walker represented the police. A jury of six was empannolled, of which Mi atiies Rendall was chosen foreman. Tiiw jury having viewed tho scene of tho tire, evidence was takon as follows :—

John McNamara (examined by Detect ivo Walker) deposed that at the time of the iuo ho carried on tho business of a grocer in premisses owned by James Lyle. On Wed nesday morning, the 28th of September, those premises were destroyed by lire. Ho was at the Thames at the time, having left. for that place on tho day before at 7.30. Ho returned on tho day of the lire between 6.30 and 10 p.m. His business in going to tho Thames was in connection with a of Oddfellows there, of which he was a member. Ho had been sum moned to attend the quarterly lodge meeting. Ho did nob attend tho previous quarterly mooting, not having received a notice to attend it. Ho had belonged to this lodge for fully six years, and notices of meetings were nob received regularly. Ho did not remember ever having received a summons previously to attend a quarterly meeting, simply because ho was nearly always absent in sawmill employment on the East Coast of the Thames Peninsula. The witness went on to qualify this lasfc statement by explaining that since he met with an accident iive years ago he had resided in town, and that during this time he had only received the one summons to attend a lodge meeting. The business to be transacted at the lodge was already stated on tho notice paper, and in this case he thought the subject was tho reduction of management expenses. Ho did not know whether it was of importance to him, but he thought it strange that ho should be summoned to that particular meoting. He did nob think ho told anyone he did nob want to go to the Thames. He spoke to a detective—a very stout man —asking if he had seen Detective Herbert about, as he wanted to show the summons to Herbert (he being a member of the same lodgo), and to inquire from him why ho had been summoned. Ho saw Herbert, and tho latter, so far as he remembered, said lie did not know the reason, except it was that tho Secretary was leaving the lodge. Her bert did nob toll him ib was not ueeeasary to attend, but he believed he stated that he was nob going to attend. Witness did not say that he had other business at the Thames and would go. He had no other business at bhe Thames. He told Mrs Robinson on the day before the lire that ib was an awk ward time for him to receive the summons, as he had given his landlord (Mr Lyle) notice to leave and was going to shift into a shop next to Mr Lyle's own place. It was, therefore, atinconvenience that he went to the Thames. The first intimation he had of the fire was by a telegram which was handed him at bhe Thames by his sister-in law Bella O'Donnell, who is in bhe employ of Father O'lteilly. He called to see her on the 28th ult., and she handed him a telegram from his wife which had come to herself. The telegram said : " We were burnt out last night. Escaped with our lives"- or "lost no lives," he was not sure which. His shop shutters only extended half-way up the window, and he had wanted the landlord to provide long shutters because there was one pane of glass broken. It was about 2 fb. longby 9 inches or afoob wide, and could easily nave been replaced. When ho first went into the shop he had the upper part of the windows stained to within about fb. of the panes. The Jandlord consented to put up large shutters, witness offer ing to bear half of the expense. As two days passed without the landlord providing the loner shutters and as McNa mara was complaining of neuralgia, he pub up a green blind to the window. That was nearly a fortnight before the fire. He was sure it was nob pub up for the first time on bhe Saburday preceding bhe fire. He had the front door secured with an iron bar because people were accustomed to sit outside the door. He provided the bar 4 or 5 months before the fire. He de cided to leave the shop when Mr Lyle de layed to provide tho long shutters. It vas after he gave notice to leave that he pub up the green blind to the window and boarded up tho fanlight, which wae broken. Since he had returned from the Thames, he had been talking to Maggie and Pat Plynn, and obtained from the former what she knew about the fire. It was written by her brother Michael. Maggio Flynn said she knew nothing about the fire until she was aroused by the baby crying. She then called out to Mrs McNamara "What is that crack ling ?" Mrs McNamara replied that she thought it was someone knocking. Then they both heard the noise bogether, and Maggio Flynn lighting a candle and opening the door found the front room to be on tire. The shop was not pretty empty of goods before the fire. There were 4 complete half-chests of tea and a fifth was open, a quarter of a ton of sugar in bags, some potatoes in sugar bags, two half tons of flour, 10 boxes of soap, washing soda, treacle. The witness, was closely questioned about these goods. He said that he gob:

five half-chests of tea, jams, brooms, and axe-handdles from a hawker, paying cash for them. He did not know the hawker h name, nor anything about him. Witnoss had three full suits of clothes and three odd suits. For the coat alone in one suit he paid £5 to Saunders the tailor, of Queen-street. (Laughter . Two gold sets were destroyed. After the lire ho only once went near the hie, as he was afraid that he might bo accused of taking away some of the goods that had been saved. He was not aware that his wife had been giving groeenes on tho 27th for nothing. He was not aware that Mrs Robinson had received goods for nothing from his wife He swore he had never told a girl named Eva Watt that she had better not have said that Mrs McNamara had given hor goods for nothing, and that she had better keep her mouth shut about those goods. He had had no conversation with this girl on lues day last. Maggie Elynn had never slept in his shop before the night of the fire, and it was arranged between himself and his wife that she should do so on that occasion. He did not suggest that Mrs O'Donnell, a friend of his wifos, should stop in the shop that night. Tho window pane and fanlight Were broken with stones found subsequently in the shop. He did not place them there. Ho did not kco.p his wife in a great state of subjection, but he expected her to obey his orders. He had never threatened or struck her. She was not afraid of him. At 1.15 the inquest was adjourned till 2 o'clock. ,

At tho Polico Court to-day a largo number of by-law offonces were dealt with, including one which is omitted in our re port viz. Joseph Molloy, who was fined Is and costs for allowing a horse to wandor.
