women got dresses on purpose to turn into gin, for
they pawned them as soon as they reached their hands.

THE FATAL RAILWAY AccrnENT NEAR GLOSSOP.—
The jury in this case, on Friday night, aftHr a patient
investigation, came to the verdict that the de..eased died
from acciden+, but accompanied their vercl!ct with re-
commendations that the c.Ol,TatlY sh.uld put up a rail or
fence to raise the battlements of the viaduct, and that
they should p'ace the dittance signal nearer to Alancbes-
ter, so that trains would stop short of the viaduct when
they could not get into the station. Mr. Hargreaves,
superintendent of traffic, said he would present the re.
commendations to the board of directors, though she
feared the first of them, if aced upon, would increase
the risk of danger.
