The model warehouse of Burnley and Nicholls, machine
tool manufacturers, Leeds, was totally destroyed by fire be
tween one and two yesterday morning. The building, which
was about 200 ft. long by 50ft. broad, contained models
collected during twenty years. The property was partially
insured.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL AT MALLOW.
The declaration of the poll at Mallow was made onTues-
day. The majority for Mr. Waters was announced to be
eight. Major Knox was not present. Mr. Waters in
his speech charged Major Knox's agent with attempting
to bribe, and exhibited notes for one hundred and
forty pounds alleged to have been given to an
elector to purchase three votes for the Conservative
candidate; he indignantly denied the statement made
by Major Knox, to the effect that he had offerbd informa-
tion to unseat Mr. Munster. Referring to political
topics, he said he advocated denominational education and
the release of the 'Fenian prisoners, whose acts were
prompted by patriotic and unselfish, though mistaken
motives. Mr. Wynne, Major Knox's agent, subsequently
attempted to speak, but he had to desist, owing to the
interruptions.

THE NOMINATION AT LONGFORD.
The nomination of candidates for the representation of
Longford took place on Tuesday. Mr. Maxwell, chairman
of the Town Commissioners, proposed the Hon. George
Greville-Nugent, and the nomination was seconded by
Mr. Thomas Gregory, ex-sub-sheriff of the county.
Major Hepenstall proposed, and Mr. James Murtagh
seconded the nomination of Captain Harman (Conserva-
tive). Mr. Patrick Smyth, late candidate for Waterford,
was proposed, but afterwards withdrew in
favour of Mr. Harman. The noise in the
Court was deafening, and no speakers could be heard
except partially by the reporters of the press. The show
of hands was in favour of Captain Harman. Mr. Greville
Nugent demanded a poll. The Sheriff fixed Friday. The
Nationalists are expected to vote for Harman, and if they
do his return is almost certain. The Roman Catholic
clergy were conspicuous by their absence at the no-0.
mination. The town was perfectly quiet. No rioting
occurred.
TRADE OUTRAGE IN SHEFFIELD.

At Tunstall, Samuel Durber was charged under
the following circumstances :—A short time since he went
to the Clough Hall Colliery earlier than the customary
time for going to work, and when the engineman of num-
ber nineteen pit proceeded at a later hour to lower
the first cagefull of colliers, he discovered that
there was something wrong and told the men
to get out. This they did, and it was then found
that a large iron nut had been placed between the cogs of
one of the wheels. The prisoner was accordingly arrested.
Before the magistrates it was explained that had the nut
been placed a few teeth further off, the result would
have probably been the smashing of the engine, and
precipitation of the men to the bottom of the pit,
150 yards in depth. The prisoner was remanded.

At Miles Platting, near Manchester on Tuesday, a
goods' train ran into a passenger train, which was stand-
ing at the platform. The last carriage which, fortunately,
was empty, was shivered to pieces, the next contained
five occupants all of whom were much shaken. No fatal
results are apprehended. The third-class carriages, which
were full, were fortunately in the centre of the train.
