his mat s. Geor,po Rettrick, with whom he had bola
discussing • pot of beer, and, wi.hing him good night,
expressed his intention of walking along the road to
his own home. About half -an-bour later. however, he
was seen walking down the line by William Preston,
a p trthr at the junction. Hs was then apparently
sober. Bat as the 10.17 train had got about half's-
mils on her journey, the driver, George Haythr, who
stated he had been in the service of the company 98
years, felt the lifeguard of the engine •trik• some-

he had run over • man, who was dead. He reported

that one of the deosaasd's legs had been cut off, an

piece, and Mr. W. Stone retired amid the warmest

IMMARICABLS CHARGE OP MURDER.

On diaturday, at the Kilkenny Amiss (Mr. Baron
Bowes prodding), the trial of Amu Cioghau, aged 3.5
years, and Lawrence Kenny, aged 30 years, for the
murder of gather Oro, at MeMown, Wenn:mete,
on the 31st Deoember, 18S1, wee resumed. Lather
Crughnn was shot dead in the kitchen of her mother's
house, in the presence of the prisoner, Ann Croghan,
deccased's sitter, mid their mother. The chief evidence
wee that of an inforiner owned Welsh and Welsh's
wife. rhey swore that Anne Crogban, after the death
of her brother, wee belly treated by her easter and
mother. She hired Walsh to murder her sister. Walsh
engaged Kenny, to whom he gave • loaded revolver.
Koons, prompted with enother man named Lear,
whets at present in custody, and shot Eche: through
the breast. Kenny fired several Lola; on* peened
over the mother's head, and tire other wounded the
prisoner Anne. The object of the murder, as alleged,
wee that Anne Croghao had psea..el herself with a
hatred against her sister, fearing elm would not get a
alters of a deed brother's property, and also to get
S 4( ), which Esther Oroghao bedin the bank. Tin
motive suggested on the part of Kenny wee that he
would get paid by Welsh, who wee to receive money
from the female prisoner. The defence wee that It
wee • story on the part of Welsh and his wife, that lt
wee they alone who committed the crime, and that
they intended to murder the whole family, and them
they would got the property, as Walsh used to work
for the Crogiume. It was also alleged in the defence
that the prisoner Anne CrogSan'• brother was on
intimate terms with /Ira Walsh, and that Omens
empl .yed Walsh as a labourer. The defence also
ii.leged that two boys, aged 10 years and U years, eons
of Weleli, upon whom the Crown relied am independent
witnesses, were, upon their own showing, accessory to
the murder. They swore they heard the primness and
their lather chatting about the contemplated murder.
They also admitted having before the murder fired
Croghan's house. Km Croghen swore positively UM
Kenny was not the matt who fired the shots.

the close was very interesting. The Artillery-
men watched the game with the greatest excitement,
and when the winning hit was made, they displayed
every manifestation of jubilation. A rather dark
decisioo of the military umpire at • very critical part
of the game, and which wee most apparent to every
spectator, Moat have rather toned down the 'latices of
the unprejudiced player. Still credit is due to the
Artillerymen for their plucky play when matters
looked decidedly unpromislog. Scores

PORTLAND.

Tar Lois or Llr-1-41-3tsia Captain's Wife
writes as follows :—" Sir.—After reading the details
of the sal accident which occurred in the Channel
recently, I feel impelled to call the attention of those
who deplore the lose of life at sea to the feet that it le
usual for cargo steamers, which carry a craw of about
25 souls, and occasionally • few passengers, to be
furnished with only two life-buoye. Four are con-
sidered an ertravaganos. That more lives might be
saved if there were more life-buoy; is evidenced by the
fact that the one lady who wee savei from the
Waitsea owed bee life to the life-buoy which was
nobly gins UP to bog by a young man; also the only
lady saved from the terrible oollieion in the North
Sea was saved through the captain fastening on to bier
• buoy or belt. Also it will be remembered that in a
terrible wreck not far from Holyhead some mouths
iv a boy was saved by the captain giving up to him
a We-buoy, the noble captain on that occasion, if I
am not mistaken, toeing his own life in oonsequence.
Such are some of the small economies practised by
shipowners in utter disregard of the possibility of lives
being saved by • little more generosity."

EXTRAORDINARY
_ESCAPE OF AN IRISH

MAIL.

The occurrence on the Holyhead line of the driver
and stoker of • train falling asleep while on duty and
the extraordinary escape iif the Irish mall, was even
more serious, than reported. It would appear, from
enquiries made at Llandudno Junction that the signal-
man there, by extraorilinasy presence of mind, saved
the Irish 11114 ii passengers ou Tue.dar night from what
might have proved a terrible fate. The signalman at
the jonction received a message from the signalman at
Conway, next eltation to Holyhead, that a light engine
was coming. The signalman, knowing that the Irish
mail was due, decided to run the engine into a aiding
in order to permit the 'spree+ to OW. If. accord-
. ingly put all the signals against the light
engine, but to his extreme astonishment the
engine came straight into the junction at fall
speed, swept round the corner, dashing pest all
the danger signals and disappearing from view down
the line towards Chester. A moment's refection con-
vinced the signalman that both driver and stoker must
be asleep, and if they were not awakened an awful
calamity might occur. He accordingly wireU to the
Colwyn Bay Station signalman, " Xngine coming;
driver asleep; pit fog signal on line." The man at
Colwyn Boy was equally prompt, for, running out
his box, he had hardly time to lay • number when
the engine came thundering along, and an explosion
followed wh,ch tffectually awoke the drowsy men.
The engine was stopped and run back into a siding
when it was nao,vsie.l that the fire had gone out and
the water had disappeared from the boiler, and that
the men had been asleep some time. Inquiry has
resulted in their immediate discharge. They had been
fifteen hours on duty.
