DEATH OF MR. COUNCILLOR HANNE.

A grog 'bock was mad in the professional circles
of Weymouth on Saturday morning, by the news of
the sudden death of Mr. Thomas Arundel Hann*,
solicitor, of Bond and St. Thornas-etreets, Meloombe
R Mr. Hanne was born on December 13, 1646,
atrtherafore was only 38 yearn old at the time of Isis
death. His legal career was commence I here, and he
was considered a fast-rising member of the profusion,
having • great deal of practice at the police and
county courts. For several years he had been a
member of the Town oouncil, and was re-elected last
November. In 1872 he joined the hiss ode lodge of
All Souls, and oontinned to be a Freemason until his
death. lila appointment as lieutenant of the local
oorps of Rifle Volunteers is fresh in the memory of
Weymouthians ; but Mr. Hume has long been a good
shot, having been very fond of shouting as well as of
fishing. For a abort time Mr. a&11110 was clerk to the
Mackerel School Boari. Al'out • month he was very
poorly, having caught a cold when attending t his
volunteer duties, and he was laid by for some days
but the illness was only considered trifling, and Mr.
Hanna had returned to bit office and his professional
occupation. On the evening of Friday, about seven
o'clock, he had enjoyed • hearty supper, and which
be had not for several days previously, • lamb chop,
when he wee seised with • redden at of coughing, and
Is supposed to have ruptured • blood vessel. Hie
housekeeper saw him sitting In the chair where be had
been eating his supper, when she left; but when she
returned be had changed his chair, and in • few
minutes after he expired. Dr. Lush wee sent for, and
arrived only to confirm the fact of Mr. Haene's death,
and the doctor since gave • certificate of Death from
Natural Causes, having known him to be In • delicate
state of health for some time peat, and. also consider-
ing the circumstances preceding death, the Connor
decided to hold no inquest. As the agent for Mr.
Henry Edwards, M.P., Mr. Hann* was especially
known, and his death malraa a blank la aswaral akar.
Politically he was • moderate Liberal, and it may be
noted that in an election some years ago, Mr. Hann*
was not nominated by either of the party ooalitlons,
but stood between the two, end was successful in
recoverin

WAREHAIL

SERIOUS CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.

The gale which passed over the South of Ragland on
Saturday last did oonsiderable &tabor in the neigh-
bourhood of Wareham, many large trees being blown
down. During the prevalence of the gale, which lasted
the while of the day, it was far from safe passing
through the streets at times, there being quite • seower
•of tiles and slates. During the morning the gale was
accompanied by a deluge of rain, but about two o'clock
the sky clears 4 • little, and at nine pin, the gale hid
well nigh spent itself.
Duriug_the afternoon • very serious accident occurred
on the Pools-road to John Tatchell, coechman to
Miles Rodgett, Req., of Sandford House. He was
proceeding to Poole to meet Mrs. Rodgett with the
carriage, when • large tree suddenly snapped, and fall
isixosis the road. Fortunately the main portion of the
tree fell behlod the carriage, but one of the limbs
struck the coachnirth on the boa cirryi g him down
with such force that the dashboard of the oerriade was
broken, and the front part of the carriage smashed.
Strange to say Miss Tay! .r, who woe in the carriage
at the tme, escaped umbra beyond a fright. Toe
itch lent was witneued by a young woman, who WAS
fOokluß Out Of window at the time, and she at once
raised an alarm. Her ( .ther at me rushed out, and
seised the horses, and thus in all probability averted •
fatal termination of the accident the coachman being
held fad by the limb of the tree, bet weeo the frout
part of the carriage and the hor•ee. if. was extricated
as soon ad possible and conveyed home, where his
lure. were &derided to by Dr. Daniel, a Wareham.
We are sorry to hear that Tstchell lies in a very pro.
carious condition.

League Officer, arrived in Dorchester by the 5.10
Loudon train from Weymouth. They had been
scoommodated with a ant-clam carri.ge, labelled
"amend." It having become known that the Inch.
men would pale thraigh the station by this train,
about seventy or eighty persons mumbled, but there
was nothing like • demonstration of say kind. Some-
thing of • scene, however, occurred. A gentleman of
the neighbourhood, who claims to have been
acquainted with Devitt in Africa, west up in the
carriage window, and gave him • sound rating, and
tlef terms the reverse of Parliamentary. He
amused him of taken part in some murderous affairs
Is South Mika, and with being an escaped crovict.
He also invited him to "coma on side," promising
Ms a thorough good biding. It is, of coarse, not
neceosolmtr:zy Michael declined the offer. His
, who was in an excited state, con.
to denounce hies and his conduct, expressing
the hope he would have • bullet put through his
heed Devitt said not • word, and his companions
iselted on In gloomy silence. It wee not till Kr.
Heiliday, the stationonaster, remonstrated, that the
Individual ceased and the train soon afterwards moved
out of the station. There were no other expressions
of feeling.
