TIDMAN'S SEA SALT is of great benefit to
weakly children, and a boon to all who would obtain
the invigorating effects of a sea bath in the comfortable se-
clu-ion of an apartment. Instructions for use are enclosed
in each packet.

TIDMAN'S SEA SALT has been analysed by
Dr. Hassall, who strongly recommends it as very
superior to the rock and other salts commonly used for
bathing purposes. It is the only efficient substitute f'or sea
bathing. In bags of 141b5., price 2s. ; 281b5., 4s. ; 561bs , Bs.

the house for four days. He was merely called in
because there was small-pox in the house.
Mr. Roys recalled, said that on Friday night he
lay down on the bed where the child was. It was
very restless, and was crying through the night.
It suddenly ceased crying. It was then on its
mother's arm. He asked her if it was breathing,
as it was so still. She then said it was dead.
By the Court—Witness was last a clerk to a
trades' protection society. He had been twelve years
ago assistant to a chemist. Six years ago he dis-
pensed for a surgeon. He had been out of regular
employment for ten or twelve months. He was at
present earning only a precarious living. His wife
had employment. She was a bookfolder. Witness
had taken the child up about four o'clock, and
walked about with it to try and pacify it. It was
about half an hour after that deceased ceased crying.
The coroner said that the case was a most extra-
ordinary one. The doctors both agreed that the child
had died from great violence, and from skilful vio-
lence. He should adjourn the court until such time
as the mother should be sufficiently recovered to
attend.
The proceedings were adjourned accordingly.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN.

A special general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the office, Gresham House, Old
Broad-street ; bir. J. Borradaile in the chair.

Mr. ADAMS wished to know whether they had
received any traffic returns ?
The CHAIRMAN said they had received some ex-
tending over six weeks, and that the expenses had
exceeded the receipts by £766, but he believed that
the traffic had since improved. When the resolu-
tion that he had to submit was brought before thsm
for confirmation at a future meeting, he trusted
that further information would be laid before them
as to the traffic. The Government had consented to
authorise the company to raise a farther sum of
£lOO,OOO for completing the undertaking, the out-
lay being subject to the approval of the local Go-
vernment in India. The company had already
exceeded its powers by £31,526 for useful works.
The additional capital was required to provide
station accommodation and to complete the jetty
and other works at the Mutlah terminus. Sir C.
Wood had authorised the company to raise the
£lOO,OOO by the issue of inconvertible debentures at
41 per cent. per annum. The authorised capital
amounted to £400,000, and the additional sum they
proposed to raise would increase the share and loan
capital of the company to £500,000. He concluded
-oy moving a formal resolution authorising the direc-
tors to borrow on debentures a sum not exceeding
£lOO,OOO for a period of seven years, not exceeding
5 per cent. interest, and renewable for a farther
period
ARSHMA.N seconded the motion.
Mr.
mif necessary.

In reply to Mr. HARTRIDGE it was stated that
the line was 281 miles in length from Calcutta to
the Matlah, or 30 miles including sidings. They
had no project for a dock or market. The jetty
was in progress, and the local authorities had under-
taken i
the construction of a market, which would be
next year. Those were all the works con-
templated under the guarantee. A graving dock
fiwnoushlded beimportant, and also a branch railway in a
uth-eaetern direction to a populous district, but
such
projects for developing the traffic must be
carried out by a separate capital, assisted by a
Government subsidy.
Mr. ADAMS thought they should not sanction the
outlay of any more money. The original capital had
Eo
been at £350,000, but it had been increased to
i4OO, firedo,
and was now proposed to be further in-
creased
to 4.500,000. That, he feared, would leave
no chance
of getting more than 5 per cent., as they
were
promised 10 per cent;on a capital of £350,000.
After some observations from Mr. Wilde and the
oo
as to the necessity of the proposed outlay
line in a perfect state of efficiency, the
toresolution puth Chairman
was carried unanimously, and the meeting
separated.
