received a blow on the head, still wore a bandage.
Mr. Asquith, M.P. defended Mr. Graham • and Mr.
W. Thompson watched the case on behalf of Mr.
Burns. Superintendent Hunt, who. said he considered
the conduct of the crowd to be such as to came
terror and alarm, admitted in cross-examination that

from entering the S4uare.. His orders were to pre-
vent the people from getting into the Square for any
purpose. The proceedings were adjourned for a

TERRIBLE DEATH OP ANIMALS.

Later particulars of the fire at Bridgeport, Con.
necticut, by which the main buildings of Mr. P. T.
Barnum's winter headquarters were destroyed, shows
that the building, which was filled with all sorts of
inflammable material, was in 15 minutes burned flat
to the ground.' The firemen devoted their efforts to
saving the adjoining buildirge, and were successful.
The building burned was divided into three sections.
The first contained the baggage waggons and a few
chariots and horses. Nothing was saved. At the end
of the section the hippopotamus was caged, and
perished with the rest. In the middle section the wild
animals were kept. Not a single animal escaped.
There were zebras, ibexes, tapirs, wolves, hyrenaa, and
many others. The next section contained animals of
the cat tribe and the elephant barn. There were
many 'valuable specimens of the feline tribes, among
them a black panther, several lions, tigers, leopards,
and pumas. Only one of the whole lot escaped, and
the next morning he was found dead.

FALL OF THE FRENCH CABINET.

The French Ministry has resigned. On Saturday
M. Floquet announced in a crowded sitting of tbe
Chamber of Deputies, that he had received from M.
Clemenceau a notice of interpellation on the domestic
policy of the Government. M. Rouvier, the Prime
Minister, said they could not enter on this discussion
till the conversion of the Rente was over. M.
Clemenceau moved that the debate should take plaea
immediately. On a division this was carried by a
majority of 89, whereupon M. Bouvier said: "The
meaning of this vote is clear. The Ministers resign.'
The House then adjourned till Monday. The Presi-
dent of the Republic hr.ving accepted the resignation,
sent for M. De Freycinet, and 'asked him to form a
Cabinet, but he declined to give an answer till he had
read the debate and consulted his friends.

?RESIDENT GREVY AND M. CLEIIENCEsu.

President Grovy having asked M. ClOmenceau to
form a Ministry, was informed by him that he was
ready to accept responsibility, but that the situatioa
appeared to be complicated by other elements than
those simply Ministerial. The President was plainly
advised to resign, and a meeting of the principal
leaders of Republican parties was held at the Elysee
in the evening.
PRINCE NAPOLEON.

Prince Napoleon has written to the Baron Dufour,
urging the necessity for the resignation of M. Grevy,
and many of the Paris journals have also demanded
that he should leave the Elyse°.

BURNING OF BARNUM'S SHOW.!

ESCAPE OF WILD BEASTS.

A Renter's telegram from New York, on Monday,
said: Intelligence has been received here from
Bridgeport, Connecticut, of the destruction by fire
..last (Sunday) night of the winter quarters of P. T.
j
'Barnum's show and menagerie. The first intimation
of the fire was given by the roaring of the lions and
tigers, and the struggling of the elephants to free
the chains- witil—wilich they were '
secured for the night. Six watchmen, who were on
duty at the time, endeavoured to stop the progress of
the flames but without avail. Fear of the animals
within, who were mad with terror, prevented a near
- approach to the -burning ,pile, and within half an
hour the entire building was consumed. Three
elephants, including the well-known sacred white
elephant, perished in the flames. Thirty-six
elephants broke from their fastenings and
dashed through the sides of the burning.
building, trumpeting loudly in their terror. Six
of these and a large African hippopotamus rushed
into the street, their bodies scorched and blackened
by the flames presenting a sickening appearance. The
remaining 3d elephants and one lion escaped a?.ross
the country towards Fairfield and Easton, their ET-,
pearanee causing great alarm among the inhabitants,
many of whom, residing at the west-end of Bpidge-
port, barred the doors and windows of their houses.
The lion was discovered late at i night in a barn de-
vouring a cow which he had killed, and was imme-
diately shot. Several persons are reported to have
been tossed by the escaped elephants. Besides the
lions, tigers, and other large quadrupeds, all the
trained animals, stallions, ;ponies, &a-, and a largo
number of monkeys and cats perished in the flames.
All the properties of the show were also destroyed,
the loss being estimated at .E 140,000. One of the
watchmen was missing, It is thought that the fire was
the work of an incendiary, as the watchman who first
discovered the outbreak was knocked -down And
dunned while giving the alarm.

which escaped have been capture T.— Among those

A LUNATIC'S LEAVINGS.

In the Chancery Division of the High Court of
Justice, before Mr. Justice Chitty, the case of Re
William Heathcote (deceased) Gilbert V. Avriolsk Cause
on for hearing. This was an action for the adminis-
tration of the estate of a lunatic intestate. The
intestate's father, who died in 1833, by his will gave
real and personal estate to a large amount upon trusts
lor conversion and division among his four sons. The
intestate was the last survivor of the family, and
nearly the whole of the property of the family had
devolved to him. He had died apparently without
heirs or next of kin. The solicitor to the Treasury
had taken out letters of administration to the
intestate, and had received the personalty, amount-
ing, it was said, to more than £200,000,
but those who represented the trustees of the
testator's real estate claimed to 'retaia the real
estate, on the ground that it had never been converted
into personalty. Mr. Whitehorne, Q.C., and Mr.
Willis Bund appeared for those claiming through the
trustees. Mr. Ingle Joyce, for the solicitor to the
Treasury, claimed to have the real estate conveyed to
him on the ground that he was entitled to represent
the intestate. Mr. Romer, Q.C., and Mr. Farwell,
and Mt. Elton, Q.C., and Mr. Begg appeared for other
parties. Mr. Justice Chitty Laid that the trust for
conversion was absolute and bad never been interfered
with by election to reconvert. Under such circum-
stances, the solicitor to the -Treasury, as being the
person who was entitled to represent the intestate,
was entitled to take the converted real estate, and call
for a conveyance.

to have been an unlimited supply of life-belts on

the drowning all 'round the ship are described as

number; and eventually landed the whole of these

snatßA LEONE.

A Blue-book was published on Monday containing
further correspondence respecting the disturbances in
the native territories adjacent to Sierra Leone. The
book, which is in continuation of one published in
September of last year, contains 133 despatches under
dates extending over about a year—namely, from
September 14, 1886, to September 26 last. Most of
these despatches are exchanged between Captain J.
S. Hay, Administrator under Sir Samuel Rowe,
K.C.M.G., Governor of Sierra Leone, and the Colonial
Office. The Administrator informs the Office of the
efforts made to put an end to tribunal differences, to
gain security for colonial trade, and to protect the
natives under our jurisdiction. In September last
two despatches were sent from the Colonial Office
approving of the action of Administrator Hay, and
with the second of these the book concludes.

Helen said through he tears: 'No one would ever
so kind to me as she has been. I was obliged to go,
obliged to leave them all; and I loved them so, more
than any one could tell.'
'Try and tell me all about it,' the old gentleman
said. If there is nothing you are afraid to speak of I
may be able to set matters right. I heard something
from Jarvis about you only the other day. Did he
tell me you were missing?'
He hardly knows it yet, I should think,' Helen said,
looking at him with surprised eyes. ' I only left
Biarritz the day before Mr. Tregellis picked Me up at
sea.

No. it must have been that you were ill. Have you
been ?'
'Yes, after I heard—after the news came that—
about the fire, I mean. I suppose I was weak before;
and we had just heard that Cuthbert—that Mr. Ingram
I mean was coming home; and the fright--'
' Ah, I see. But that had nothing to do with youl
coming away?'
Nothing at all. I hardly expect you will believe
me, but I will tell you everything, just as it happened;
and then you will understand why I don't want any.
body to know where lam for a little while. I have
some money, enough to keep me quietly somewhere
for a time till I am free, quite free.'
He hardly understood her last words, they were
spoken with such strange emphasis; but Cuthberi
did, and he took her hand in his and caressed it.
You are with us now, dear, and quite safe, re.
member that,' he said, quietly. And with that re.
wsuring clasp to help her, she told Mr. Ingram all
that had befallen her, and how she feared that at any
moment the unholy spell that -seemed to have bee*
cast round her might be resumed, and draw her once
more into the clutches of the man she dreaded so
terribly.

THE DONCASTER DISASTER.

DRIVER AND FIREMAN DISCHARGED.

The trial of Samuel Taylor, 39, and Robert Davis,
28, driver and fireman respectively of the Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire passenger train,
which came into collision with a Midland excursion
train, at Hexthorpe Junction, near Doncaster, on
Sept. 16, the Doncaeer Cup day, causing the death
of 25 persons, and the serious injury of many others,
was concluded at the Yorkshire Assizes, held at York
Castle, before Lord Chief Justic.i Coleridge, on Tues-
day, after a two days' hearing. Mr. Collman and
Mr. Lofthouse, appeared for the prosecution; Mr.
E. Tindal Atkinson, Q.C., and Mr. Kershaw de-
fended. Mr. C. Mellor watched the case on behalf
of the Railway Company. The prosecution sought
to show that the accident was the result of the pri-
soners failing to observe or paying no attention to
special signals. In defence it was urged that the
accident was brought about by circumstances arising
from the suspension of the block system for the day,
and failure of the brake to act. The jury returned
a verdict of "Not guilty," considering the con-
tributory negligence on the part of guards, there
being being no cord communication, and there being
also conflicting signals. The prisoners were dis-
charged.

THE AGITATION IN IRELAND.

MR. O'BRIEN'S CLOTHES.
A correspondent, telegrsphing from Tullamore,
says: "Mr. O'Brien's clothes were stolen early on
Saturday morning by a warder who entered his room
to light his fire, and suddenly rushed away with them.
Mr. O'Brien the same evening made a declaration to
Dr. Morhead, J.P., which that magistrate, at the pri-
soner's request, committed to writing. Ile said,
They intend to kill me.' Subsequently, in an inter-
view with Mr. Andrew Conolly, J.P., Mr. O'Brien
said, They mean murder. They have acted like
dastards. I feel I shall never leave this place alive,
but I ask you as a favour to let the public know what
is being done.' Pointing to the blue snit of hospital
clothes, be added, Though I die here I shall never
put these on. I can't say an thing more until I see
Dr. Ridley and speak to him about this breach of
rirqh., Mr. O'Brien states that Dr. Ridley had pro-
mised him that his clothes would not be interfered
nth."
LIMERICK PROCLAIMED.
The Lord Lieutenant, the Chief Secretary, the
Lord Chancellor, and the Law °facers had a consulta-
tion at Dublin Castle on Monday afternoon. It is
believed that they had under consideration the ques-
tion of taking steps to prosecute one or two prominent
members of the National League who lately delivered
speeches in the interests of that organisation. It is
Ilso stated that it was decided to proclaim Limerick
Pity, already partly proclaimed, under all the pro-
isions of the Crimes Act.

man to a well-known banker. Say auriferous,

THE GERMAN CROWN PRINCE,
THE CANCEROUS GROWTH.

Before leaving San Remo for London on Monday
morning Sir Morell Mackenzie was able to report that
the tumour in the larynx had not grown since the
consultation. The fact that the oedematous swelling
of the upper part of the larynx had entirely dis-
appeared facilitated the complete examination of the
cancerous growth, which is still very small. The
extraction of a portion of it for examination by Pro-
fessor Virchow will not, however, take place before
Pr. Mackenzie's return, as the Crown Prince has
definitely stated that he alone should perform that
operation.
In Dr. Mackenzie's opinion the tumour is not due
to excessive smokirg, as has been stated. He agree 3
with the generally-accepted scientific doctrine that
the germ of cancer is born with the individual. In
the present case, the growth being still small, it may
not for a long time interfere with respiration, bnt
when this occurs, as it inevitably must sooner or later,
then the operation of tracheotomy will become neces-
sary. The average duration of life after tracheotomy
is from 18 months to two years. Professor Schrikter
believes the Crown Prince has a fair chance of four or
five years of life.

SERIOUS RIOTS IN LONDON.

TRAFALGAR-SQUARE HELD AGAINST
THE PUBLIC.

THE POLICE IN POSSESSION.

Not since the Chartist and bread riots have such
scenes been witnessed in London as took place on
Sunday. Certainly not since then have the military
been called out and actively employed, as was done on
Sunday, to assist the civic force in dispersing the
populace and clearing the streets. Most fortunately
the occasion passati without the magistrate who rode
at the head of the troopers thinking it necessary to
read the Riot Act, or to authorise the use of either
bayonets or bullets. Conflicts there were without
numberbetween the crowds and the police, during which,
in several instances, batons, sticks, and stones werefreely
used, but the constables invariably quickly carried all
before them. Trafalgar-square, as early as noon,
presented a most extraordinary spectacle to the
easy-going, quiet dweller of this vast metropolis. A
demonstration had been announced to be held in
the Square by a number of Radical clubs, and Sir
Charles Warren specifically stated by placard that no
such assembly would be allowed, and that no proces-
sion would be permitted to approach. Two thousand
policemen, all of them picked men out of their re-
spective divisions, stood in line around the square.
Two hundred constables on horseback were disposed
in troops and sections about the roadways leading
thereto. Police contingents from Epping Forest to
Epsom had been drafted to assist in preserving order
and preventing any meeting in Trafalgar-square.
They had come from all quarters, every little village
sending in a quota, the men beginning to arrive in
omnibuses and drags at Scotland-yard as early as sve I
in the morning. From nine a.m. the police had '
enclosed the square with a line of Lien. No one was
thereafter allowed to enter or pass through the square.
At noon these were reinforced to the number already
steed. Along the south side of the square and the
openings to east and west on that side the police
were ranged four deep, elbow to elbow. Superin-
tendent Harris commanded that portion. In front
of the National Gallery and at the sides of the square
the men were but two deep, but here and there squads
of their comrades stood in reserve to assist them.
Within the square itself were four strong bodies '6f
police ready to rush to strengthen any threatened
point. Nor was this all, for at Scotland-yard, Icing-
street Police-station, and other places Sir ClArles
Warren had bodies of men in reserve, ready to bring
into use at a moment's notice. Outlying squads of
men, foot and mounted, also watched the proaches
to Westminster, Parliament-street, Northumberland-
avenue, the West Strand, Haymarket, and Pall-wall.
Mounted policemen rode backward and forward at a
sharp trot, keeping their officers informed of all that
was taking place in each locality, and the police tele-
graphs were used to announce the movements of the
different processions which were to converge on the
square.

JOINT-STOCK TRADING,

A Parliamentary return has been issued relating to
registered joint-stock companies. Their growth in
numbers and importance has of late years been (re-
marks the Daily _Yews) en great and rapid as to mark
a revolution in the business of the country, or, at any
rate, a tendency that way. In April la 4 there were
10,804 joint-stock companies in the -United Kingdom,
all believed to be carrying on business, and their paid-
- up share capital, exclusive of debentures and borrowed
money, was 591._ millions sterling, compared with
4751- millions four years before. For some purposes
it would be proper to add the amount of British
railway capital, amounting to 830 millions, in-
cluding debenture stocks, and municipal loans
(say 150 millions), as corporations carry on
the business of paving, gas 7 making, drain
making., &c., and are practically joint-stock
companies. Leaving that matter out of the
question, it is plain that the competition of companies
with private traders is now very important. There
are many undertakings, like bank!, insurance offices,
waterworks, and a whole field of industries, to which
much capital or costly and extensive appliances are
necessary, and to which the joint-stock form is
suitable. Leaving these out of the question, it is
beyond doubt that a larger proportion than ever of
joint-stock trading If avens the mass of private
business. A walk down the more busy streets of
London would quite startle some of the
retired citizens who left their warehouses
and counting - houses fifteen or twenty
-yearn ago. On every fifth door- post such a
one would note the word " Limited " after
the name of the once well-known private firms ; he
would be confronted with staring letters forming the
title of some international or universal co-operative
company, instead of plain Jones or modest Smith tind
Co. No doubt, also, he would wonder how his plain
old friends managed to struggle against the mass of
ready capital which joint-stock 'companies have
nominally at disposal. We say nominally, for the
capital of the 1817 companies registered last year,
with capital, was nearly 148 millions, but the
amount paid up was less than 213- millions.
These facts tell a tale of hollowness, and will
help to reassure the man who might other-
wise be led to think that none but merchant princes
ould struggle against the masses of money controlled
y joint-stock trading companies in these days.

_
IT would no doubt be a hard blow to ‘emperance to
'earn that Neptune mu; a hard drinker.

M. WILSON'S CASE.

The inquiry into the decorations scandal is bring-
ing to light new particulars. M. Atthalin, Juge
d'lnstruction, has taken down the evidence of M
Gallet, agent of MIL Blanchet and Kleber, M.
Gonthier, of the firm of Gontlaier and Dreyfus, and
others. The witnesses declare that the watermark on
the paper on which M. Wilson's letters were written,
now appearing on the file, was never used before 1885
The Prefect of Police, M. Gragnon, also called by the
examining magistrate, maintained his former deposi•
lion before the Commission of Inquiry.
According to the Temps, Colonel Lichtenstein, aide.
de-camp to the President, called yesterday on the
magistrate, and left a letter, written in 1884 by an
eminent personage, having the same watermark as
M. Wilson's letters. But that does not destroy M.
Blanchet's argument, since the wove paper upon
which the two incriminated letters are written was
not produced before 1885, whilst the letter now pro-
duced, similar to two others, was written on cream
laid.

It is said that M. Wilson has suddenly left for

THE STRONGEST KAN.

The strongest man in the world lives in Nevada,
and is named Angelo Cardelia. He is an Italian,
aged thirty-eight, and stands sft. 10in., weighing
1381bs. His spinal column is double the ordinary
width, and his bones and joints are made on a
larly large and generous scale. He has lifted a man
of 14 stone with the middle finger of his right hand.
The man stood with one foot on the floor, his arms
outstretched, his hands grasped by two persons to
balance his body. Cardelia then stooped down, placed
the third finger of his right hand under the man's
foot, and with scarcely any perceptible effort raised
him to the height of four feet and deposited him on a
table near at hand.

WINTER WEATHER!

Cold and boisterous weather has been reported
from various parts of England. A very heavy snow-
storm was experienced in the Canterbury district on
Tuesday, lasting several hours. In the bye roads in
the country parishes there was a foot and a ha'f of
snow. A Dover correspondent telegraphed on Tues-
day night: "Wintry weather has set in on the coast
unusually early, a somewhat heavy snowstorm having
been experienced in this district. Snow commenced
falling on Monday night, and fell for several hours,
continuing at intervals throughout Tuesday. It was
several inches deep on the bills, and in some places
there was reported to be as much as a foot. The
wind was bitterly cold, and the sky was overcast
and threatening. The wind blew very heavily
from the north." A large number of Tessels
anchored in the Downs for shelter. Wintry weather
has prevailed over North Wales, and a snowstorm
burst over the Principality during Monday night. The
higher mountain ranges were on Tuesday capped with
snow for many miles. Severe frosts prevail after
nightfall. A strong gale sprang up at Ramsey on
Monday evening from the south-east. The schooner
Eclipse, which left Ramsey early in the morning, with
ballast, for Liverpool, put back, and in doing Do ran
into the smack Wizard, of Ramsey, which was berthed
alongside the quay. The Wizard was struck below
the water-line, and sank within 20 minutes. The
crew easily got ashore, but the cargo, consisting of
sugar, fruit, and flour, was destroyed. The Eclipse
was uninjured. During Monday night a severe hail-
storm prevailed at Sunderland, and was accompanied
by a strong north-easterly wind, which on Tuesday
almost approached a gale. On Tuesday morning
snow fell almost continually in the Sunderland dis-
trict, and shipping movements were considerably im-
peded, whilst outdoor work was partially suspended.
During Monday night a severe frost prevailed in
Newcastle, and the streets were covered on Tuesday
by a thick coating of snow,- The tramcars were run-
ning with difficulty.

WHAT WE PAY RATES FOR.

Mies Baker, a member of the Holborn Board of
Guardians, has by the withdrawal of her services from
the Furnishing Committee considerably upset the
general equanimity of that august body. The cause
of her resignation of the duty to which she was
nominated is that she declines to be associated in any
way, even by imrlication, with the extravagant out:ay
to which the committee stand committed. The chief
duty of a board of guardians is to administer the
poor-law of the union area in charge of which they
are placed by the
,vote of their respective parochial
electorates. They have a board-room in which to
conduct their solemn deliberations, and a clerk in
attendance to register their august decrees. Miss
Baker s action has precipitately unfolded the
intention of the Board to procure new car-
pets for the rooms placed at their disposal.
To this there would not and could not be any objec-
tion, provided the selected carpets were of a quality
and material suitable to the purpose for which they
are intended. In the composition of the Holborn
Board there are (comments the Daily Chronicle)
apparently individuals of magnificent pretensions,
who consider the dignity of their representative posi-
tion would be assailed, and perhaps lowered in the
eyes of their constituents and those over whom they
are supposed to exercise the duty of guardianship, if
they acquiesced in the purchase• of an ordinary
carpet, or descended to the—lower level of kamptu-
licon. Accordingly, the order has been given for a
Turkey carpet of the value of ten guineas to be pro-
vided for the clerk's office, and a carpet to cost
£4B, with a set of new curtains and pales at a
further expenditure of £42, for the room in which
the Board assemble. There is no doubt a value in
the display of contrasts, and the contrast between the
splendour of the Board-room and the wretched tene•
ments of the poor of the district cannot fail to
enhance the importance of the Board in the estima-
tion of their humble applicants. Objection, we are
glad to see, was taken to the action of the Board,
which the clerk endeavoured to silence on the plea
that the order had been given - and' could not •be re-
called without injustice to the tradesmen employed.
It was a grand stroke on the part of a clerk counting
on his Turkey carpet to plead • the position of the
tradesmen and the economical character of the con-
tract. Though the subject was allowed to drop, the
accounts will have to be audited, and auditors are in-
vested 'with certain 'powers of disallowmcnt. What
they think of theaction of the Board the ratepayer
will seewhen the annual accounts are published.
