The Press Association is informed that Waller has
made a full confession ‘.l the murder. He states he
had no animosity towards the deceased, who had be-
friended him, and given him employment. After
wandering about several hours after leaving the Five
Bells publichouse at midnight, and having shaded re-
volver in his p.oket, he was tempted (he says) by an
uncontrollable impulse to do some desperate &owl He
fired a a shot in the wood, and called Ellis out, saying
he had seen poachers. Ellis came out with his
truncheon and lantern, and accompanied Waller about
a quarter of a mile, when the latter shot the old man
in the head, and finished the murder with Ellis's
truncheon. Waller then went back with the lantern
and roused Mrs. Ellis, tolling her that her husband
wanted her, as he was wounded by poacheqs. Mrs.
lads came down, and he led her in a direction away
from where her husband's body lay. When they had
proceeded some 200 yards he shot her also, and beat
her to death.

FRIGHTFUL BALLOON FATALITY.

A terrible balloon disaster occurred at Courbevoie, close
to Neuilly at the gates of Paris, on Sunday afternoon.
A balloon tilled with hot air was ts ascend at half-past
four o'clock, and it was originally intended that a car
should be attached, to contain a female aeranaut. named
Albertina. At the last moment, however the car was
abandoned in favour of a trapeze, on which a professional
gymnast, M. Auguste Navarre, voliaiveered for the make
of the 50f, offered to go through Rev, ral feats suspended in
mid air. Navarre was advised to fasten himself to the
trapeze, but declined, saying that he knew his trade. All
being ready, the balloon was sent up with Navarre hang-
ing on with one arm Presently he seized the trapeze
with both hands. his head resting on one shoulder, and
he remained 'irefully still for some time. Suddenly, when
the balloon had reached the height of some ;110 yards. and
Navarre's body was only just distinguishable, the crowd
below saw him leave go, and were struck with harror as
he came down at an immense speed, repeatedly turning
over in his dement. When about MO yards from the
ground the body assumed an horizontal mention, and. as
It fell on to the lawn of a garden, it is amid to base made
an excavation in the soil of nearly two feet deep. of course,
life was quite extinct ; indeed, it is probable that NM'S,' Fe
was insensible when he relinquishe I his.botel of the trapeze.
The .sensation produced among the holiday crowd by this
appalling spectacle was immense, and cry of horrorescaped
from the lips of all witnesses. The balloon subsequently
burst and fell in the Place Saint Michel in the centre of
Paris fortunately without injuring anyone

CHILD MURDER AT SPAXTON.

An inquest was held on Thursday by Mr. Munekton,
district coroner, on the body of a female infant child, who
was found buried in • garden adjoining the premises of
James Day, occupied by himself and daughter, Rhoda
Day, aged 25, at Merridge, near the Travellers' Run,
Somerset. Two women, named Waygood and Southwood,
deposed to having visttcd the premises and seen •quentity
of blood on the ceiling and II ,or of a downatair room. They
gave information to the police, and P.C.'s Hunt and
Everley visited the premises, and on digging up the
garden they saw about six inches below the surface the
body of a child with • piece of rsg tied so tightly roundits
neck that Dr. Axford (who made the postesortwes
examination) stated it made an impression half an inch
deep. The body was ',rapped up in a bag and • portion
of • skirt. On Rhoda Day being apprehended she
admitted that the child was hers, and on subsequently
being removed to Taunton gaol she remarked to P.C.
Hunt, "I have no one to hiatus: I dons the deed, and I
hope I shan't have the rope for it." Dr. A.xford stated
that the body was that of a luily-developed and healthy
child. The lungs were fully inftted and the heart and
separate p Adana of the lunge Boated in water. He was
of opin.on that the child had lived several hours. The un•
doubted cause of death was strangulatiou. It was stated
by the policeman that, though James Day, the father
(a widower of about 50 years of age). and Rhoda Day, be
daughter, occupied the premises, there was but one bed-
room, without a partition, a condition of things which
Superintendent Jeffs remarked was perfectly revolting.
The foreman of the jury (Rev. A. J. Bowen) and other
Jurymen concurred, and the coroner. who added that the
prionis a were in a wretched condition, suggested that the
matter .noulit be at epee brow.ht under the attention of
Mt- Sinttary Authority. The jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful tuurdel" against Itri..d s Dup who is under
remand on the charge of concealment of birth.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT PLYMOUTH.

A serious accident occurred in the Mammas on Thurs-
day. About .500 seamen, who had been on leave, were
taken in boats to the Harpy, steam tender, for conveyance
into the Sound, where lay the Agincourt and Northumber-
land, ships of the Channel Squadron, to which they
belonzed. Just as the steamer warn a. out to start, a boat
with tenor a dozen men came alongside, and in attempting
to get on board whilst the steamer WAS under weigh the
boat capsized, and the whole of the men were thrown into
the water. Several of the men on board the Harpy
jumped in to the rescue of their shipmates, and no lees
than twenty or thirty of them were at once struggling in
the water. On the shore numbers of the friends of the
men had :assembled to witness their departure, and
amongst these thegrnat painful excitement prevailed.
Fortunately there were plenty of watermen's boata in the
immediate vicinity, and the men were speedily recovered.
One was in an exhausted state and required medical
assistance, and several had narrow escapes. In the excite-
ment it was at first feared that one or more of the men
might have sunk unobserved ; but, so far se can be user-
tamed, it is believed that no fatality occurred.

DOUBLE MURDER AT OHM LHURBT.

A double murder was committed early on Sunday
morning at St Paul's Cray, near Chiselburst, in Kent,
by • man named Waller, who first shot and then beat
to death an aged couple named Ellis, who occupied a
lodge on the common. The old man was gamekeeper
to Mr. Behrens, ; and the murderer according to
his own confession, decoyed Ellis (ruin the house
under the pretence that there were poachers in the
wood, and then inunien3d him. He then went back to
the cottage, roused Mrs. Ellis by telling her that her
husband had been wounded, and having led her a
distance from the house, murdered her also. The
murderer then went to the police-station and con-
fessed the crime. It was at first supposed that robbery
was the motive of the horrible tragedy; but Waller,
who is a dissolute fellow, asserts that he was led to it
by an uncontrollable impulse. He was charged before
the magistrates at Bromley on Monday', anu remanded
for a week. He wal formerly in the Metropolitan
police twee.
At the inquest on Tuesday the jury returned •
verdict of wilful murder against Joseph Waller. Ellis
had been Xi years gamekeeper to Mr. Berens.

BBIDPORT.

"011./10" DISPLAT ON TIM FlFTH.—There were but
few persons to witness the splendid and almost
unparalleled display on Frids) last, and the limited
number of pyrotechnista, under no restraint, enjoyed
themselves and annoyed everybody else. The few lads
who hada dozen crackers to dispose of made the most
of them, and were greeted with some relishable drubb-
ing* for their pains. A few wretched squib. were
exploded and s Ane tat-barrels were kicked about the
streets in the ordinary style. Several windows were
broken, and some ill-disposed person threw a firework
into an open window at Mr. Guppy's, East-street. Mrs.
Guppy who was sitting in the room had • narrow
escape from being burnt to death. tier clothes
ignited and several articles in the room were damaged.
One of the small gates at the Bradpole turnpike was
taken away, and it was at first reported it had been
sacrificed to the devouring deity, the Turnpikes Tru-t,
but the missing gate has linos been 'raptured. The
rumour that Mr. Warton would be sacrificed alive,
caused a little commotion, but no effigy came forth
and a large number, to say the least of it were dis-
appointed. Report says that • fair representation of
the hon. member, snuff-box and all complete, under-
went the fi..ry ordeal on the following morning. There
were several instances of ill-feeling, and • few got
more in the way of kicks and bruise& than they
bargained for. This fa scarcely to be wondered at
when the fiith is celebrated in such an unsatisfactory
manner.
