A WIFE SHOT IN BED.

Ely Wilson, a potter, was indicted at the Man-
chaster Assizes, on Tuesday, before Mr. Justice
Denman, for shooting his wife with intent to murder
her. In consequence of the conduct of the prisoner,
his wife, some two months ago, was compelled to
take out a summons against him. It was made
returnable before the Manchester city magistrates on
the 23rd of March last. Early on the morning of
that day, whilst they were in bed, the prisoner asked
the prosecutrix not to appear against him. She
offered to agree to this provided he on his part would
consent to a separation. The prisoner, however,
refused, and a few moments afterwards he deliberately
shot at her with a pistol. The woman sustained
dreadful injuries, some 13 or 14 pellets being taken
from her breast. The defence on behalf of the
prisoner was temporary derangement of mind, but
the medical men who had examined him since the
occurrence found no symptoms whatever of such a
condition. He was found guilty, and sentenced to
twelve years' penal servitude.

A LITTLE VICTIM TO HYDROPHOBIA.

This terrible disease continues to claim its victims.
The latest case is reported from Shipley, Yorkshire,
A child, aged four years, named Alice Schofield, of
that town, was bitten seven weeks ago by a setter
which had been strange in its demeanour for a few
days previously. It rushed about showing signs of
distemper, if not rabies ; it bit a couple of children,
and attacked another dog. The girl Schofield and
her younger sister was passing, and the animal rushed
at them, knocked both down, and bit Alice in the
left cheek. Dr.- Rutherford cauterised the wound
the same night, but on Wednesday last the girl
became restless. On Thursday evaaing Dr. Ruther-
ford was called in, and Dr. Rime, the medical officer
for Bradford, who had charge of the Bradford patients
whilst under the treatment of M. Pasteur, in Paris,
also visited the patient. During Friday the little girl
displayed the acute symntoms of hydrophobia, and
expired in great agony on Saturday.

A THEATRE FLOODED.

In consequence of the bursting of a water-pipe, in-
tended for use in case of fire, in rear of the stage of
the new Grand Theatre at Nottingham, the building
was on Sunday seriously flooded. The accident was
not discovered until several hours after the pipe had
burst, and by that time, water had accumulated to the
depth,of 16 feet in a cellar underneath the Stage. A.
steam fire-engine was employed for four hours in
pumping out the water. Ninety thousand gallons
were pumped out. Considerable damage was done
to the scenery, but the auditorium and the main
structure were uninjured.

MEMORIAL TO SIR JOHN GOSS.

A memorial to the late Sir John Goss was unveiled
on Monday afternoon in the crypt of St. Paul's
Cathedral by Sir Arthur Sullivan. The monument
was designed by Mr. J. Belcher, F.1.8.A. It is of a
classic character, the principal material _employed
being alabaster, and variety is obtained by the use of
white And black marble. The chief features of the
monument is an exquisite piece of carving in Carrara,
from the chisel of Mr. Hamo Thornycroft, A.R.A.,
representing five choristers with music-books engaged
in singing while walking in procession. In the back-
ground is seen the lower portion of some pipes in
front of an organ. The carving is in low
relief. Below this panel, in music notation,
is 1 the opening phrase from Goss's anthem:
"If we believe that Jesus died ;" and
beneath this the inscription: "In remembrance of
Sir John Goss, Knt., Mus. Doc. Cantab, composer to
H.M. Chapels Royal, and for 3-1 years Organist and
Vicar Choral of this cathedral. Born Dec. 27, 1800.
Died May 10, 1880. His genius and skill are shown
in the various compositions with which he has en-
r:ched the Church. His virtues and kindness of
heart endeared him to his pupils and friends, who
have erected this monument in token of their admi-
ration and esteem." Two black pillars, polished, sup-
port a moulded pediment, in the centre of which is
A dove in white marble, standing on a globe, sym-
bolizing the Holy Spirit presiding over the service of
song in the panel below. The base of the monument
is richly carved with floral arabesques. The monu-
ment is fixed on a pier in the crypt facing one of the
south windows, and close to the memorials to Land-
seer and Bishop Claughton. fi•

in company with the owner, a professional jockey.
Having driven him a mile or two, the gentleman, who
noticed that he pulled pretty hard, requiring constant
watching and a steady rein, said "Do you
think that is just the horse for a lady to drive ?
'Well, sir," answered the jockey, "I must say I
,shouldn't want to marry the woman that could driv
that horse."

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF
PERJURY:

On Tuesday at the Central Criminal Court, William
Thomas Tranter, 26, was charged with wilful ard cor-
rupt perjury. Mr. Poland and Mr. C. Mathews con-
ducted the prosecution.—This charge was preferred
under very extraordinary circumstances. At the May
Sessions of this court the prisoner was examined as a
witness against a man named Cleary, whom he accused
of stealing a watch from him while he was looking at a
fire in Aldersgate-street. Prisoner gave a circumstan-
tial account of the pretended robbery, and swore that
Cleary had snatched his watch from his pocket and
broke the chain. No watch was found, and Cleary pro-
tested his innocence,but the prisoner's evidence was so
positive that Cleary was convicted and sentenced to 12
months' hard labour. The prisoner was subsequently
taken into custody for fraud, and was convicted and
sentenced to two years' hard labour. Further inquiries
were made, which led to the discovery that the story
told by the prisoner with regard to the robbery was an
entire falsehood, and that he had never had such a
watch as he represented in his possession. The object
of the prisoner in making the false charge was stated
to be to enable him to obtain a sum of ..E4 for ex-
penses of travelling, &c., the prisoner stating that he
lived in Glamorganshire, and was entitled to railway
expenses. The prisoner would have been tried at the
last sessions, but while awaiting his trial he managed
to make his escape from the warders who had brought
him to the court while undergoing his sentence of
two years' imprisonment. The man Cleary was
examined, and he swore positively that he was en-
tirely innocent of the robbery. He admitted, how-
ever, that he had on a previous occasion been con-
victed of felony. The prisoner, in answer to the
charge, asserted that he was actually robbed, and
that he had no motive for making a false charga
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Re-
corder having observed that he had been convicted of
a very cruel offence, sentenced him to five years' penal
servitude.

Lord Aberdeen was on Saturday presented with a
farewell address by a deputation of the Limerick Cor-
poration. In reply, his Excellency expressed an earnest
hope that such an adjustment of the affairs of Ireland
might be speedily attained as would bring peace and
contentment to the country.
Sixty thousand persons are estimated te hap taken
part on Sunday in a demonstration it Waterford, in
memory df Thomas Francis Meagher, a lead of the
1848 rising. Three Parnellite Members spoke on the
occasion, Mr. R. Power stating that the straggle for
Home Rule would be continued, and he believed It
would eventually be ooneedid.

TUE BANKRUPTCY OF A WORDSLEY.
HOP MERCHANT.

On Tuesday, at Brierley Hill Police Court, Joseph
Hand, lately a hop merchant of Wordsoly was charged
on six summonses with various offences against the
Bank-ruptcy Act of 1883 in connection with his fail-
ure. Mr. C. H. Collis appeared for the prosecution,
ad Mr. Holberton (Messrs. Homfray and Holber-
ton) for the defence.--11r. Collis said he understoot;
Mr. Holberton was not ready to go on with the case,
and there was a mutal agreement that the hearing
should be adjourned. He had, however. to ask
that substantial ;kid should be found.—Mr. Hol-
berton asked that the bail should not be too heavy,
since it was clear that the prosecution in
proceeding by s•immons did not fear that Mr, Hand
. was going awa3.—Mr. Collis, in reply, pointed out
the charges included obtaining goods ; neglect to
fully discover sums of money ; neglect to fully us-
ever estate ; and the making of false entries. The
Offical Receiver (Mr. E. Percy Jobson) might have
taken other steps, but had proceeded by summons;
and he (Mr. Collis) must have good and substantial
bail. The bankrupt had a deficiency of £5,200. in
his affairs.—Mr. Hand here violently dissented,—
Mr.lHolberton said he should put a different com-
plexion on the matter, and his client denied the
.£5,000. Mr. Collis : It has not been accounted for.
The Bench then adjourned the case, and fixed bail
at two sureties of £2OO. each, and the defendant
himself in £4oo,—Mr. Holberton said he had two
gentlemen ready to be sureties.

ALARMING CONDITION OF A CITY

CHURCH.

A notification appears on the door of the church of
St. Mary Woolnoth, at the corner of Lombard-street,
that the church is closed during necessary repairs.
It does not state, however, says the City Press, that
in consequence of numerous complaints by parishioners
and others, made month after month, as to the bad
smells emanating from the vaults of the church, an
inspection has been made, resulting in the discovery
that some hundreds of bodies in a state of decompo-
sition, whose coffins also are in a bad state of decay,
lie under the floors. Under these circumstances, tt
is to be hoped that the churchwardens will take all
necessary steps in order that such a state of things
cannot possibly reoccur. In a neighbouring church
where a similar state of things existed, a layer of con-
crete was put over the vault, thus hermetically sealing
it. At such a period of the 3 ear, it is more than
ordinarily necessary that the work should be at once
taken in hand. The last interment under St. Mary
Woolnoth took place 33 years ago.

REVISION OF THE LITURGY:

The following resolution has been transmitted to
the Arclabishop of Canterbury: "That in view of the
rapidly-accumulating dangers by which the Protes-
tant religion as by law established' is now threat-
ened, and especially the unremitting efforts of the
Romanising party within the bosom of the Church of
England herself, by which the Church has already
been to so large an extent un-Protestanised ; the
Council of the Prayer-Book Revision Society most
earnestly and respectfully entreat the Archbishops
and bishops to take at once such decisive
action as they are most solemnly pledged to
do to banish and drive away all erroneous and
strange doctrines contrary to God's Word, and
also 'correct and punish' the criminous ' and
'disobedient' within their respective provinces and
dioceses, and to encourage others to the same,' so
as to immediately suppress the 'conspiracy' which is
at work to undo the Reformation. The Council are
convinced that prominent amongst the most effective
means to the before-mentioned ends would be a mea-
sure to be carried through Parliament for the revi-
sion, in a Scriptural direction, of the Book of Com-
mon Prayer. The Council believe that if the Church
of England is to be truly the Church of the Nation,
she must not be permitted to go back to the darkness
and serfdom of the priest-ridden middle ages • but
adapt her institutions to the growing wants of the
people, and take the great and simple truths con-
tained in the word of God alone, as the foundation
for her teaching."

EDITORIAL DIFFICULTIFS IN TEXAS

The following announcement throws some light on
the dangers of journalism in Texas. It was pinned
on to the door of the Record office: The proprietor of
the Sunken Valley Daily Record regrets to have to
announce to his subscribers that the paper will not be
issued to-day, owing to the sudden decease of the
editor, Mr. E. J. L. Coker. Mr. Coker was sitting in
his office yesterday, engaged in his editorial duties,
when Colonel Ralph Mac Gee suddenly burst into his
room, and addressing Mr. Coker as "You piebald
dogwhalloper," demanded to know what he meant by
alluding to him (Colonel Mac Gee) as "a If hisky-
absorbing, poison - purveying importation from
Dublin in last Friday's issue of the Record. WAth-
out giving Mr. Coker time to reply he fired four shots at
him from his six-shooter, the last of which struck Mr.
Coker in the mouth, killing him instantly. -Under
ordinary circumstances the proprietor would have no
hesitation in characterising this as a dastardly and
unprovoked outrage on a defenceloss man but as
Colonel Mac Gee has since called at the Record office,
and, in the handsomest manner possible, offered to
serve any dogerned paper-spoiler on the staff in the
same way,' he feels loth to criticise too harshly the
rash act of a man evidently labouring under a strong
sense of injury. The proprietor has arranged with . a
gentleman (16st. 41b. from "down East") who will
in future undertake the editorship of the Record, and
who hopes, by a moderate but firm use of the re-
volver, to cement and bind those bonds of mutual
respect and esteem which have so long exi.ted
between the Record and its subscribers. The charge
for announcing births, marriages, and shooting parties
remains as heretofore.

H. Mac-

admitted that he was her brother James Barnett, and
the prisoner also stated that she was his sister.
This completed the evidence, and the prisoner,
having been cautioned, said he did not deny that
originally his name was James Barnett, but it was now
Dr. Vivian, and he had as much right to call himself
by what name he liked as the Prince of Wales. The
prisoner renewed his application to the Bench to
allow him some of hiB paeuey.for the purpose of main,.
taming himself and to pay his law expenses, but the
application was strenuously opposed by Superintendent
Edwards, and the prisoner was committed to take his
trial on the charge brought against him at the Shrews-
bury Quarter Sessions, the assizes having only just
been finished. There was an application for bail, but
it was not granted. It appears that the pri.oner
served ten years' penal servitude for an hotel robbery
in 1870, and the letter "D "on his body, referred to
by Edward!, indicated the fact of his having been a
convict at Dartmoor.

HARD FIGHTING IN BIIRMAH.

The latest reports of the fighting in Burmah show
that while our men have been generally successful in
the conflicts, the Burmese have shown fighting quali-
ties for which many have not given them credit. A
Rangoon despatch to the Times, dated August Ist,
says: On the 26th of last month Lieutenant Huggins,
of the 21st Madras Native Infantry, surprised the
insurgent Chief Hlaoo, while engaged in burning the
village of Kanbyoo. The enemy's loss was 150
killed and wounded. Major Persee, of the Somerset-
shire Light Infantry, has captured Magye, a village
near Ava, killing 13 and capturing 37 insurgents.
The Yemathen district is very disturbed. The
insurgents attacked Ningyan, and succeeded in
burning some houses. Numerous skirmishes .have
occurred near Ninglan. On the 21st 200 men and
two guns, defeated 1000 insurgents. Our loss was
two killed, eight wounded. The engagement took
place in a thick jungle. The enemy fought obstinately,
arc], availing themselves or cover, reached within 30
yards of the guns. The 16th Madras Regiment, 600
strong, has been sent to Ningyan. As the roads is
closed the troops had to ascend the Sittang, and left
Tounghoo in a flotilla of 80 boats. Sir Charles Ber-
nard has returned to Mandalay. Mr. Burgess, Com-
missioner of Mandalay, starts to-morrow to assume
his duties. Mr. Power, a Bengal civilian, is appointed
Commissioner of the Minhlah district of Upper
Burmah. The condition of Lower Burmah is im-
proving.

A NEW CLERICAL ORDER.

Acting in the name of a committee appointed at
the Synod, the Bishop of Salisbury has issued a state-
ment in which he says it is proposed to establish a
small society of clergy, to be known as the Missioners
cf St. Andrew, who shall be bound by a very simple
rule and be entirely at the bishop's disposal for the
purpose of taking temporary or occasional duty within
the diocese. A further object—that of conducting
or assisting in parochial missions—has also been en-
tertained, and it is hoped that it may be combined
with the first before the lapse of any long period
in co-operation with the Diocesan Special Idissions
Society. The bishop has already secured the
services of two gentlemen. The members will
be in priests' orders, and will live a common
life when at home, but will be bound by no vows.
They will make a promise of obedience to the bishop
for a year as regards their clerical work, renewable
annually on St. Andrew's Day, as long as they remain
within the society. In addition to those who will be
full members of the society, the bishop proposes to
attach a number of associates who shall hold them-
selves in readiness to take such duty, either with or
without remuneration, whenever their engagements
permit. He has already had offers from two or three
clergy of experience to become associates. He also
hopes to associate some lay workers with them. The
members will for the present have their home at the
Palace. It is announced that some subscriptions have
been promised.

EXPLOSION AT CARDIFF.

An alarming explosion occurred shortly after six
o'clock in the morning on board the Norwegian
barque Jeteus, lying in the East Dock, Cardiff. The
barque was fully laden with coal for Buenos Ayres,
the hatchways being battened down on Saturday last.
On Tuesday morning one of the men descended the
fore-hold with a light for the purpose of getting out
some stcres. A large quantity of gas, which had
accumulated in the hold, at once fired, blowing the
hatchways off and lifting the fore deck. The man was
so badly burned that, in his agony, he rushed on deck
and jumped overboard. He was, however, saved
from drowning, and, with five other men, all more or
less badly injured, was conveyed to the hospital.
Some of the injuries sustained are very severe. The
force of the explosion was so great that the report was
heard half a mile off, and the volume of smoke and
name issuing from the hatchways is said to have
reached the royal yards. The names of the men
injured are : Anton Jansen, seaman; Gustav Ander-
sen, seaman ; Jansen Johnson, carpenter; Jorge
Serolsen, second mate; and John Petersen, second
mate. The latter' in addition to other] injuries, had
the fingers of one hand entirely blown away.

THE BRUCE ELECTRICAL BALLOON.

T.l E Bruce electrical war balloon, for flashing
by night, was exhilited on the evenings of
29, 30. at Lillie Bridge Ground, West Bromp-
t. N.:when some further experiments in army signal-
wre made. The balloon has been previcusly
6 :,..ibed in IRON; but we may mention for the
belt ,lit of mese who are not familiar with the bl-
at. ill_ piada": of_ _translucent e'.lan.l3ric,,
11.t4 pacity of about 4,.000 cubic feet. It con-
t i" Six glow lamps perfectly isolated from the
g ,s ,vhich surrounds them, and connected with the
b tv,!ry on the ground by a cable which at the
1-5 time holds the balloon captive. When the
b. 411 .un is at an elevation of 500 feet, the flashes are
voi-;:,.,) to the naked eye at a distance of 16 miles,
and a message delivered by the Morse code can be
'ay troops stationed at that distance. The re-
.lxperiments were designed to show the feasi-
b.ii of attaching lamps to the outside of the
b .1; ,on, whereby they attain a much higher pene-
tr ,t lig power It has been pointed out by some
o'iclers of the Royal Engineers, to whom the iii-
- i n has been submitted, that it would be useful
noi only for signalling purposes, but as a precon-
co-t., t signal, and as giving a point to march on, or
,t.ii;de a retreat or advance at night. It has also
hwn ttown that it would be of high value as a light
vorking parties. During the exneritrents,
w!- em the balloon was 15 or 20 feet from the ground,
it over a wide area, a light that -it was quite
ole to read small print by. The experiments

A CHILD SUFFOCATED BY A CAT:

Mr. Bedford, coroner, held an inquest at King's
College Hospital on Friday evening, on the body of
Emma Susan Parkinson, aged five weeks, daughter of
a market porter, living at 21, Holles-street, Clare
Market, who died suddenly under extraordinary
circumstances. Emma Parkinson, the mother, deposed
that the last she saw of the child alive was on
Wednesday morning at three o'clock, when she fed it
and then fell asleep. About an hour later she was
awakened by a large black cat jumping off the bed.
The child was lying on the bed and seemed very
strange. She looked blue in the face. There was a
little blue mark on the right side of the face. There
was no mark of the cat having been lying on the bed,
and the witness firmly believed that the cat must
have been sitting on the child and sucking its
breath. She awoke her husband, and the cat was
discovered in the room looking very wild. The
witness put the child in a warm bath, and noticed
that its legs were blue. Edward Albone, the steeple-
keeper of St. Clement Danes Church, deposed that
the parents of the deceased were quite respectable
people. He was the sub-tenant of the house. The
cat referred to belonged to the lodgers in the base-
ment. George Parkinson, the husband, deposed that
he also was awakened by the cat. He corroborated
the evidence of his wife. The child certainly
looked as though it had been suffocated. Dr. Carliss,
house surgeon, of King's College Hospital, stated
that the post-mortem examination revealed all the
symptoms of suffocation in the most typical manner.
The lungs were congested, the brain, the liver, the
kidneys, spleen, and heart were all congested. Death
was due to suffocation. The jury returned a verdict
of "Accidental death."

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A
BURGLAR.
A POLICEMAN SHOT.

At an early hour on Saturday morning an attempt
was made by three men to burglariously break into
the Parish Church of St. Marylebone, situated in the
Marylebone-road, London. The church, which has
but recently been internally reconstructed at a cost of
several thousand pounds, has two entrances in the
Marylebone-road and the other in High-street. all of
which are protected by high railings and gates, the
remainder of the ground being enclosed by high walls.
The gates are always kept locked at night, the police
on the beat having a key to enter and see all secure.
About twenty minutes to three o'clock Police.
constable William Holland, 188 D, entered the en-
closure, and on coming up to the door leading to the
vestry, where some of the valuable church property
was kept, he saw two men, with silent shoes on,
making an effort to force back the lock of the door.
At the same mcment he heard a man, who was
apparently hid in the bushes close by, say, "Look out
the -- is coming !" Holland at once seized hold of
the shorter of the two men, and a desperate struggle
ensued. They fell together, and got up several times,
and then, while on the ground, the taller man, who
had temporarily run away, returned, and pulled Hol-
land off of his man, and the last-named got free.
Then Holland went for the latter man, and seized him
by the throat. They had several up-and-downs, and
while that was going on several shots were fired by
the short man, and Holland heard the bullets fly by
his head. The struggle continued, and then the con-
stable received a shot in his leg from his assailant, who
wis;at close quarters. Holland shouted for help and
blew his whistle, and continued to hold his man until
thoroughly exhausted, when the burglar threw him,
and they all made their escape. Several con-
stables near the locality heard the call for help, but
found great difficulty in getting to their comrade
owing to the church gates being locked. At length
they got in, and removed Holland to University
Hospital, where the house-surgeon found that the
bullet had nearly passed through the officer's leg near
the knee. Inspector Parsons at once went to the
church and found on the steps a sack, a screwdriver,
and a chisel, which corresponds exactly with the
marks on the door. It was discovered that the
thieves had got into the enclosure by means of a
ladder from Nottingham-mews, which runs at the rear
of the church. Later in the morning a rimfire revolver
was picked up in the mews by a man named Spake-
man, close to where the ladder stood. It has six
chambers (some loaded), and gives evidence of four
shots having been fired. One of the men was
wearing a black mask. Holland struck him across
the face with his truncheon, as he did also the shorter
man.

THE EXTENDED ADOPTION OF. STEEL
SLEEPERS.

Oue of the most promising outlooks at the pre-
ait time in the steel business is undoubtedly the
x tended adoption of steel sleepers. For several
irs past, as is well known, these sleepers have
.) largely adopted in Belgium, Germany, France,
te 1 other continental countries, and lately large
;-; males have been sent from English steelworks
.0 India. At home the London and North-
ritern Railway Company have introduced Mr.
.bb's sleeper on various parts of their system. It
liighly spoken of by railway engineers, and is
eecerted to have given very satisfactory results.
e Midland Railway Company have laid down
•.. 'era' miles of steel sleepers similar in sectioa to
'Webb's, but with a cast-iron chair, bolted with
,oton's patent bolts; and they are about to lay a
I-Aaer portion of their road, close to Derby; with
same sleeper. The Metropolitan Company
,e also determined to lay down steel sleepers on
t jr railway, and other companies in this country
without doubt soon follow these examples. It
le therefore be rightly assumed that, before many
..rs are over, this branch of steel manufacture
i Ibe largely extended at English works. An im-
ei tent field for the steel sleeper lies in the direction
-ollieries. It is well known to all mining engin.
e; and managers of collieries that a large sum of
ee ley is annually expended in the maintenance of
3don sleepers and tramways underground, and
• e .1 sleepers would seem to possess great andvant-
, e, for this purpose. A strong yet light corm-
:: eed steel sleeper, with a special steel clip for
eninr, for colliery purposes, has been patented
Ar. Fames Colquhoun, the general manager of
tee Tredegar Iron and Coal Company, and was
exhibited. In this sleeper two holes are
ptm.3lled in each end, and the steel clips are put in
er it is laid, the rail being keyed up by a steel
t;p e. key. The corrugated sides of the sleeper,
a.; the two protecting fangs at either end, enable
i•, , hen laid down, to become very firmly attached
tan ballast or road, thus preventing any move-
,- t when loads are passing over sharp curves
0 0 eight of the sleeper, with two steel keys and
e is 16} lb, It is stated to have been at work
fer ;0 lit' time in collieries :in South Wales, where
'
• curves and steep gradients exist, and has
el found to work very satisfactorily,—/ton.
