STRANDING OF A MAN-OF-WAR AT
SHEERNESS.

An accident occurred just off Sheerness Harbour
on Tuesday afternoon to H.M.S. Tyne, which left the
Medway at half-past two o'clock for the Mediter-
ranean and Egypt. When off the Cant Edge Sands,
between the Garrison Point Fon and the Nore Light-
ship, the steering-gear of the vessel gave way, and
before the anchor could be let go the ship, driven by
the heavy south-westerly gale, ran ashore on the
Cant Edge. Signals of distress were imme liately
hoisted, and were observed by the signal staff at tho
Garrison Point Fort, who at once communicated
with the officials at Sheerness-yard. The steam tugs
Sheerness and Sampson were despatched to render
assistance, but the efforts to get the vessel off failed.
Staff-Captain Hoskins then directed two lighters to
be moored against the vessel to keep her in an upright
position, as fears were entertained that with the re-
ceding tide the Tyne would heel over on her side.
The Tyne is an iron troop and store ship, of 3560 tons
and 1190 horse power. and is commanded by Com-
mander William E. Darwall.

A PALL FROM THE PYRAMIDS,

On Friday, Lance-Corporal Ritchie, of the Army
Hospital Corps, while attempting the exterior ascent
of the Great Pyramid without the aid of guided,
missed his footing and fell the whole of the' east tier.
The unfortunate mart came down the full 400 feet,
without the possibility of his fall being broken, and
reached the ground a shapeless mass,

RAILWAY COLLISIONS.
SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.

On Tuesday afternoon, about two o'clock, an alarm.
ing accident occurred at the Trinity-- treet Station of
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at Bolton.
The driver of a heavily-laden cattle train from Liver-
pool to Manchester passed the signals and ran into a
coal train proceeding to Blackburn, with the result
that the cattle train was thrown off the line and the
coal train smashad to atoms. Eight drovers in the
cattle train were more or less injured, and the coal
covered the lines, which were blocked for many hours.
The drovers were carried to a waiting room and
attended to by Dr. Johnstone and Dr. De Vere Hunt.
The accident occurred, it is believed, through the
driver of the cattle train not observing that the signals
were against him. This is the second railway accident
at the same spot within a few weeks.
On Tuesday night the North-Eastern Company's
express from Hartlepool duo at Leeds at a quarter to
five and the London and North-Western train which
leaved Leeds for Huddersfield at five o'clock came
into collision at the Canal Junction. The engine of
the London and North-Western train struck the Steps
of the van and first carriage of the incoming North-
Eastern express, but both driven saw that a collision
was inevitable, and applied their brakes with such
success that, the speed of both trains was materially
diminished. The damage was not great, and the pas-
sengers escaped all seriou hurt. But for the brakes
acting promptly the results must have been very
serious, for the collision occurred in the centre of the
bridge which spans the canal. There was a little
delay, but the trains eventually resumed their
journies.

A LIVELY SCENE AT A REVISION
COURT,

An unpreceaented scene occurred on Friday in the
South Tyrone Revision Court at Aughnacloy, which
caused great excitement. Mr. King Houston, the
solicitor for the Conservatives, protested against the
conduct of Mr. Moran, the Nationalist solicitor, in
abusing the Conservative witnesses, and in inserting
false and misleading reports in a Nationalist news-
paper. Mr. Moran denied that he had done this, and
Mr. King Houston retorted that he had broken the
most solemn undertaking entered into regarding the
conduct of the proceedings.
Mr. Moran (excitedly) : That is a lie, sir! A most
infamous lie. (Sensation.)
Mr. King Houston: You made an agreement, and
then you meanly scuttled out of it.
Mr. Moran: You low hound, that is a lie, and you
know it.
Mr. King Houston: You are a disgrace b the pro-
fession.
Mr. Moran (fiercely) : Come outside and repeat
those insults, and I will teach you a lesson.
Mr. Houston (warmly) : I will repeat them any-
where. I say your conduct was scandalous.
Mr. Moran (excitedly) : How dare you, sir, use
such insulting language to me under the protection
of the court? You are a liar.
The Revising Barrister: Really, gentlemen, this
must cease.
Mr. Houston: Your worship, I wish to state that
I believe Mr. Moran acted disgracefully.
Mr. Moran: You scoundrel, if you dare to insult
me further, I will smash your face. (Sensation.)
Mr. Houston made some further observations which
were almost inaudible regarding Mr. Moran, where-
upon the latter gentleman sprang to his feet, appa-
rently labouring under great excitement, and declared
that he would not stand the insults further, and made
a rush towards Mr. King Houston. A scene of great
confusion ensued. Several of the Nationalist agents
grasped Mr. Moran and held him back. He struggled
violently to get free, and tried to get at Mr. Houston.
Two or three of the constabulary officers rushed for-
ward to the table in order to prevent a conflict between
the two solicitors.
The Revising Barrister rose to his feet, pale with
excitement, and exclaimed: Gentlemen, shall I ad-
journ the Court for half an hour? I must do so un-
less you keep quiet. These scenes cannot go on in
court.
Mr. Moran: I appeal to your worship not to allow
these insults to be directed to me under your protec-
tion.
Mr. Houston: I am not addressing you, sir, at all.
I am addressing his worship.
Mr. Moran: It's no matter what person you address.
I will not allow you to make those statements, false
and derogatory to me, sir.
Mr. Houston:
.1 would not mention your name
sir.
The Revising Barrister, as there appeared to be
indications of a renewed outbreak of hostilities
again expressed his intention of adjourning the court
but finally the two gentlemen were quieted by theii
friends.

M. PASTEUR'S CURES.

IVt. de Lesseps presided on Sanday afternoon at the
Sorbonne, Paris, at a lecture by Dr. Chautemps, Vice- '
President of the Municipal Council, on the Pasteur
cure for hydrophobia. M. de Lesseps warmly eulo-
gised his fellow Academician's researches: Dr.
Chautemps contended that M. Pasteur had saved 145
French :lives ; for, setting aside 200 cases in which
the dog's madness was merely probable, there had
been 973 clear cases, of which, taking the average rate
of mortality, 155 would have been fatal, whereas
only 10 patients had died, and even of these 10
failures two were doubtful. These figures excluded
367 patients bitten since the Ist of Augu3t, and who,
therefore could not yet be considered cured. An
anti - vivisectionist lady, who had had bills dis-
tributed at the door which asserted that 35
patients had died in ten months, interrupted
the lecturer, protesting that 155 • deaths from hydro-
phobia had never occurred in France. In this she was
evidently right. But Dr. Chautemps argued that fatal
cases were more numerous than was imagined, and he
mentioned that M. Pasteur by pure accident had
heard of 15. He suggested the provision of Pasteur
establishments in Russia, New York, and at Buenos
Ayres. He stated that the patients of all countries
up to the Ist of October numbered 2323, the mortality
of the wolf-bitten being only 14 per cent., instead of
67 or 82 per cent., and that of the dog or cat-bitten
9 per thousand, whereas it had hitherto been at least
160 per thousand. The lady continued her interrup-
tions, and exclaimed that M. Pasteur should have
begun by vaccinating himself. "There are some
species of rage," retorted the lecturer, "for which
there is no vaccinating." The lady was hooted and
jeered eV)), a band of young men on leaving the

SHOCKING 'DISCOVERY AT BELFAST.

A shocking discovery was made on Monday even-
ing in Christopher-street, Belfast, one of the scenes
of the recent riots, by a workman in the employment
of Mr. Brown, the house agent, of 56, Townsend-
street. It appears that three weeks ago a man named.
John Andrews, who formerly lived in Great Patrick-
street, weut to Mr. Brown and engaged the house 39,
Christopher-street, paying three weeks' rent in ad-
vance, and intimated that his wife was ailing, and
that he intended to take her to the hospital. The
house was entered by the man and his wife, whom he
said he had recently married. A fortnight after-
wards a workman went to execute some necessary
repairs, but found the place closed. A woman
opposite informed him that both man and
wife were in the hospital, and that the
place had been closed up for a week. On
inquiry on Sunday it was found that they were not in
the hospital, and last evening a workman broke open
the door. The first thing that attracted his attention
was an extremely offensive smell, which stimulated
his suspicions. He proceeded into the house, and
there saw a terrible sight, the dead bodies of the man
and woman lying on the bed. The woman, who is of
small stature, was lying beside the pallet, anti the man
was reclining on the bed with his feet out. Both
bodies were in a fearful state of decomposition. The
man, who was about 50 years of age, appeared in
good health three weeks ago. The constabulary were
at once informed, and District-Inspector Huggins and
a number of police arrive 3 on the scene, where a
horrified crowd had gathered.

EXTRAORDINARY BATHING EXHI-
BITION.

The passengers and officials on the pls.tform at the
Bishop's Stortford Railway Station were on Saturday
morning startled by the extraordinary proceedings of
a woman who was on the towing-path of the canal
within a hundred yards of the station. In full view
of them all she divested herself of her clothing and
jumped into the water. Thinking it to be
an attempt at suicide several persons were
about proceeding to the river, when they
saw her emerge again, and, without stop-
ping to dry herself, put on her clothes and cross the
intervening field to the railway station. Without
heeding the curious eyes that followed her she passed
through the station into the town. She was weil
dressed, and wore an ulster, and was about 35 years
age. She was not known.

WORK AND WA.UES.

THE WROUGHT NAIL3IAKERS AND THE WAGES
QuasTioe. A meeting of w:ought nailmaker's
delegates was held on Wednesday, at the Cros3
Guns lun, Birmingham Street, Halesowen, to take
into consideration the advisability of steps being
taken to ob:a.'n an advance in wages. me. John
Price (president of the Wrought Nailtuakers'
Associaian) presided, and stated that never were
the nailmakers ef South Staffordshire and East
Worcestershire in a worse condition than at the •
p-ce:_zent time. Owing to the wholesome reduction
in wages which had from time to time been im-
posed, the operatives were now practically reduced
to beggary, and it was now thought, not only by
the operatives, but also by sons f the leading ,
employe's, thet the time had arrived when some-
thing should be done to king about an improve-
ment, for it was a well known fact the people could
not live at the present prices. It was originally in-
tended for an appeal to be issued asking the em-
ployers to concede an advance, but Mr. Green, of
Old Hill, and Mr. Reay, of Ha,!esowen and Dudley.
were of oeinion that it would be b tter for the em-
ployers to meet at Birmingham on Thursday to
discess the geestion. At the time the prices paid
for hub nails were 30 per cent. under the 1879 list,
and gen3rel work 20 per cent, under the same list,
aid it was propel that the employers be asked to
pay 10 per cent, under the 1879 list for general work
and 23 per cent, under the list for hob nails. Some
of the employers, he was gled to say, ware willing to
Pay the advanced pric, and if the whole of the
employers would meet on Thursday at Birmingham,
as suggested, he felt sure a decision would be bene-
ficial to the operatives. They did not know what
was being done in the Bromsgrove district, as they
had had no communication, and it was important
that the two districts should combine in endeavour-
ing to bring about the much desired improvement.—
A delegate said there was no class of workmen
who ha d been more oppressed than the nailmakers,
and he earnestly hoped the employers would make
a united effort to bring about a better state of things.

CIGAR MANUFACTURE IN BREMEN.

Cigars form one of the principal industries of
Bremen, giving employment to thousands of hands
and investment to large capital. TO artisans form
a peculiar class, and consider themselves as of a
superior order to other hand-workers. They disdain
the drudgery of preparing the rough tobacco for—the
core, and devolve it upon women and children, gene-
rally members of their own family. They are an idle
lot as a rule. Monday and Tuesday are loitered
away or spent in the beerhouses, and it is only on
Wednesday that the week's work seriously begins.
In the four following days, however, a clever work-
man can earn sufficiently high wages to indulge in
luxuries, aided as he generally is by the six days'
wages of his wife. It is possible for an expert and
industrious couple to earn from 50s. to 60s. a week.
The cigar maker is almost invariably musical, and a
member of the singing confraternity, and the work in
the factories goes on amid a univeral chorus of voices.
This is considered to help both the quantity and
quality of the work done. Much interest is shown in
these establishments about the news of the day.
Every morning a paper is bought, and one of the

turn subscribe to indemnify him for his loss of, time.;

SPORTING NOTES.
(By our own Correspondent.)

The decision of the Cesarewitch Stakes and
Middle Park Plate must undoubtedly have been a
"facer,' to the talent, as in both instances outsiders
gained the juJges verdict. Rspecting the result
of the Cesarewitch it was notorious that not a
single favourite ran into a "place," for which con-
tingency they were so heavily supported. However,
backers apparently found consolation in turning
their attention to the probable i§sue of the Cam-
bridgeshire, for which event The Cob, who ran
sqcond in the long distance race was supported and
at one time bid fair to become a very warm
favorite, until the introduction of Carlton, who is
in the same interest, when the Cesarawitch second
retired to 100 to 6 offered. Tyrone and Exmoor
came in for genuine support, and in more than one
instance were backed coupled. Harpenden and
Silver, in the face of their inglorious exhibition,
found friends; whilst Arundel, of Goatees team,
was the most fancied.. Oberon and Devil to Pay
found occasional support, and Cardinal Wolsey (a
quiet tip), was well befriended at forties, a similar
rate of odds going on Ashplant. Still, until after
the "settling" at Tattersalls on Monday, it would
be wisdom to await "inNirations" wh'ch are
variable, for the coming on that day, although the
two Cesarewitch disappointments
HARPENDEN and SILVER _ _

may find the Cambridge distance more to their
liking.

G. A. Sala, special correspondent to the D Tee-
graph, says :—"And in particular a couple of Al!cock's
Porous Plasters clapped on— ne on the chest and an-
other between the sh-mlder bladea—soon set me right
again, " referring to an attack he had of bronchitis and
asthma on his way to "The I and of the Golden Fleeoe,',
and the above remarks are contained in his letter to the
London Daily Teleffrap'i, published August 14th, 1885.
Rest assured that Allcock's Porous Plasters we an
excellent remedy. They have proved wonderfully effica-
cious in b:onchitis, asthma, cough, weak chest,
rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, stiff joints, weak backs,
and in fact all local pains and affections. They have
only to be used to be appreciated. Secure the genuine,
and take none but Allcock's, See the stamp.

MARK TWAIN and the PROPHET
WIGGINS,
Mark Twain, writing in the New York Sun of the
20th of September, makes fun of Mr. Wiggins, who
prophesied a great earthquake, which did not take
place. He says: As a result of the most careful ob-
servation of the aspect of the fixed stars during the
past two months, as affected by the remarkable
changes now going on in the great nebuia in GCas:uo-
peia, I am able to state with absolute certainty that
by far the most awful disaster that has ever befallen
the globe since its creatiou will occur on the 3rd of
October, at 9.42 in the evening. The agent will be a
meteoric stone—a meteoric world, indeed, since its
mass will be one eighth as great as that of our own
sphere. It will first come in sight about halfway be-
tween the constellation of the Great Bear and the
north star, and will make the circle of the southern
skies, and then sweep northward with immeasurable
rapidity, turning the night of this whole continent
into a red glare of the most blinding intensity. As it
approaches Canada it will make a majestic downward
swoop in the direction of Ottawa, affording a spec-
tacle resembling a million inverted rainbows woven
together, and will take the prophet Wiggins right in
the seat of his inspiration, and lift him straight up
into the backyard of the planet Mars, and leave him
permanently there in an inconceivably mashed and
unpleasant condition. This can be depended en.
