THE CAUSE OF TtiE ACCIDENT.

It is expected that a coroner'a Inquest will be held
to-day (Monday), by which time a full list of those
who are dead will have been obtained. Many of the
children have probably been removed by their parents
before their names were obtained, so th.t the llst of

To the Editor.

Sir,—Permit me to state that your report of the
extraordinary scene" at St. Saviour's Church is not
correct It is written as If by au eye-witnesa, but, to
those of as who were present. it is manifest that such
is not the case. I leave the curate-in-charge to answer
for himself to the proper authorities for what he did
from • strict geese of duty, or, in your own words, if
you will, from ecclesiastical notions of a rather high
order. That our suseeptibUit es were greatly wounded,
and our notions of or Mary decency were greatly
shocked, is perfectly true, but it was not by the action
of the priest. If the intended sponsor had remained
quiet the world would hue b none the wiser.
She, however, acted in such • way as alnsost, if not
quite, to lay herself open to • charge of " brawling."
It Is iessusterial, perhaps, but the autism was not
choral. There was the bymnsung me usual there, but
the Baptismal Service waa performed in anything
but choral fashion, at least the latter part,
from the diagnosed state in which the dia.
tnrbance plunged the officiating clergyman. Mr.
Krauss seeing the child iu the arms of the intended
spouor, spoke very quietly to the mother, and the
result was that she took the child. The clergy-
man certainly did not take off the boy's surplice, but
on the contrary he pot hid hand on the boy's shoulder,
trying to keep him; but finding it was of no avail
allowed the woman to take off both surplice and
cassock, which she threw upon one of the benches,
with the remark that he eh mil not stay where, she
was not considered good enough to be. The indignation
which is Imputed ts the father, mother, and son
appeared to me to be confined to the mother only, who
usurped ho husband's place, for surely it was his
duty to protest if any one's, and I assure you that
the ensile on the boy's face had no trace of indignstiou
in it. Mr. Krause gave no excuse, legal or otherwise,
at the time, and was not belted for any. I understand
that a day or two afterwards be gave the only excuse
he felt booed to give, namely, that the intended
imonsor wu not a communicant, which is quite in
&so »id with the rubric. That the affair is freely talked
about, and that the c immeuts are forcible and strong,
is quite trine, but hardly in the sense implied by your
repett. I feel cure that in common fairness you will
allow this to appear, am one tale is very good until
another one is told, and it is but right that an account
should be given by

CORONATION DA T.
To tite Editor.

Bir,—A pod old enstom has of recent years been
allowed to drop; hut I trust that it is not too late to
revive a practice from which so large • portion of the
communi,y derive bend,. Befoul Sir John Lubbock
carried his Bill making boll lays of certain Mondays
In the year, it was the Invariable rule In Dorchester ant
other towns to loyally celebrate Iler Majesty's coron-
ation by keeping high holiday. Why should the prac-
tice have been disc ntinned ? It is • custom that
should be strenuously upheld by all who power any
lore for our Gracious 4 seen and who appreciate the
blessings which her loos reign bas brought upon the
nation. Not only on throe or muds would I tsiscoste 1
the revival, but for the sake of the assisteests in shops.
whose opportunities for holiday taking are far too rare
and whose duties are inv viably arduous, wearisome.
and monotonous. Last Bank Holiday was wet, and
much pleasure that wen anticipated fell far short of
fulfilment. Sloss then the weather hag become
gloriously fine, and there is a prospect of its continuing
so during the whole of eltis month. I hope, therefore,
the traieemen of Dorchester will see their way to
cdsin_g their establishments either oil fig on Corona-
Uon Day, or during the afternoon, so that their assist-
ants may be enabled to participate lathe pleasures of
