FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY.
—Shortly after six o'clock on Tuesday morning a
frightful accident occurred at the Red Posts Works on
the above lice, two miles from Andover, by which one
man lost his life. A number of men are employed in
cutting through a hill at this part of the line. The de-
ceased, whose name is Rogers, was driver of the team
waggons, and, whilst driving a horse drawing a waggon
filled with chalk, stumbled and fell against the rails, the
waggon passing over him and n.utilating him in a
frightful manner. Deceased was removed to the Black
Horse, Abbotsham, where an inquest was held before
Mr. Todd, and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned.
Finn AT SHALBOURNE.— Wednesday night last the
inhabitants of Newbury were much alarmed by the ap-
pearance of a fire which turned out to be at Shalbourne,
on the farm of Mr. Phillips, whose farm and buildings,
consisting of three barns, two of them full of corn, two
wheat ricks, four hay ricks, and all his farming imple-
ments in and about the barns and premises were de-
stroyed. It appeared that the fire originated in one of
the ricks, which was fired on the side next to the wind.
The act is no doubt that of an incendiary, and we under-
stand strong suspicion sttaehes to a person who, of all
others, should be the last to be guilty of it.—Berkshire
Chronicle.
ATTEMPT TO POISON A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—
At midnight, on Monday, a female, named Eliza Mar-
shall, aged twenty-six years, was brought to Guy's Hos-
pital by several of the police of the L division, alleged
to have been poisoned by her husband, under very
shocking circumstances. It appears that the unfortunate
woman and her husband were drinking at an ale-house
in the Waterloo-road ; they had partaken of some ale,
and after a short time they commenced quarrelling,
when the husband, it is alleged, put some deleterious
fluid into a glass, which the female drunk off. She was
soon afterwards taken ill and was carried to a surgeon's
close by, who suggested her removal to the hospital,
where she was placed under the care of Mr. Rake, the
house-surgeon, who thought it necessary to use the
stomach-pump, after which she was placed in bed and
seemed to be progressing favourably. The man is in
custody, and has already undergone an examination at
Lambeth Police Court, and stands remanded to await an
analysis of the contents of the glass, which is in the
hands of the police.
A MAN CRUSHED TO DEATE.—Yesterday, Mr.
W. Carter hold an inquest at the Prince William Henry,
Bermondsey-street, on the body of Isaac Galloway, aged
forty years, who lost his life under the following awful
circumstances :—The deceased was a labourer employed
on the premises of Messrs. Eason and Co., proprietors
of the bark-mills, Grange road, Bermondsey. Yester-
day afternoon, about two o'clock, the deceased was
greasing the cog-wheels, when, by some accident his
right arm was drawn in between them. He shouted for
help, but before any one could reach him he was crushed
between the two wheels. The machine was stopped, but
his body was so entangled and mutilated that the engi-
neer had to unfasten the wheels before the deceased
could be released, which took a quarter of an hour, but
life was then quite extinct. The coroner and jury having
deprecated the practice of greasing the cog-wheels whilst
they were in motion, returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death."
SINGULAR DEATII—A labourer named Storer Gibb,
aged 53, came to his death in the following extra-
ordinary manner, at East Grinstead. He had been
drinking on the 28th ult., and for two or three days
previously; he left the White Lion late on Saturday
night, and reached his cottage, distant about half a mile,
at about midnight. From the position in which he was
discovered on Sunday morning, it appears he had
endeavoured to find the gate, which opened into a little
court in front of his cottage, but without success; by
some means his ,head dropped over the palings, and
became fixed between two upright pieces, and from this
situation he was unable to extricate himself; he was
found early the following morning quite dead. An
inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, when a
verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.—Sussex
Advertiser.
MEXICAN ROBBERS.—These light-fingered gent.;
are as polite and suave as bold and reckless in their
operations. A case occurred in illustration at the
National Bridge, the day before we passed that point, on
our way from Vera Cruz to the capital. In the dili-
gence from Jalapa was a Mexican lady who had secreted
upon her person jewels worth 20,000 dollars, and, as she
supposed, no other person, not even her confidential
servant, knew of it. As the diligence halted on the
bridge, a cavalier- looking horseman rode up to the
window and inquired if such a lady was within. Being
answered in the affirmative, he requested a moment's
conversation with her. She descended from the dili-
gence, and he from his horse, and taking her to a shrub-
bery some rods distant, he politely informed her that his
business was simply to relieve her of her jewels.
"Jewels!" exclaimed the senorita, " I have no jewels."
" 0," said the robber, " I have so time to waste in
words ; your jewels are secreted on your person, and if
you will not help me to them I shall be obliged to help
myself, only I don't like to be rude with a lady." See-
ing that all was hopeless, but wondering, no doubt, how
he learned her secret, she gave up the jewels. " Now,"
said the robber, I must gallant you to the diligence."
The lady remonstrated, preferring to go alone, but this
her bandit friend would not allow; he said it would look
scandalous, aid perhaps occasion talk; so, conducting
her to her seat, he mounted his horse, tipped his sombrero
to the astonished senorita, and gaily rode off in quest of
more plunder.—American Sun.
ACCIDENT TO ONE OF THE LANCASHIRE AND YORK-
SHIRE TRAINS.—An alarming accident, fortunately un-
attended with fatal results, occurred on the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Railway, on Monday morning last. The
Sowerby Bridge passenger train, which reached the
Normanton Station shortly after seven o'clock in the
morning, passed safely on by the Woodlesforil Station
to Oulton-bridge, where the engine ran off the lines,
just at the point where the company is relaying.the road.
The engine, which forced its way right across the lines
into the opposite low cutting, was much strained, and
some of the carriages were slightly damaged, but no
personal injury was sustained by either passengers or
servants. The up and down trains from Leeds and
York, and the Manchester express train, were delayed
