DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT STEPNEY.—Yesterday
morning, between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock, a fire, at-
tended with serious loss of property, broke out on the ex-
tensive premises of Mr. J. Figgins, cocoa-nut fibre manu-
facturer, No. 5, Alfred-place, Alfred-street, Stepney. The
discovery was made by the police, in consequence of smoke
issuing from the workshop, a building 75 .feet long by 20
feet wide, built of timber. The engines of the London Bri-
gade were promptly on the spot; and there was a good sup-
ply of water; but, notwithstanding,. the building and con-
tents were destroyed. The cause is unknown. The loss
will fall on the West of England Insurance Office.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT ROCHDALE.—The
up line between Rochdale and Littleborough was cleared by
about half-past nine o'clock en Friday evening, the traffic
having been but little interfered with, considering the diffi-
culties the officials had to contend with. All the persons
who were hurt had left Rochdale by five o'clock, and so far
we believe, they are progressing favourably. It has been
stated that the express was coming to Rochdale at a speed
of something like forty miles an hour. Its ordinary speed
is thirty-six miles per hour, and Wild, the engineer, stated
to our correspondent that he was running at not more than
twelve miles in the hour.—Manchester _Examiner.

FIRE. IN A COTTON MILL AT BRADFORD.-
About half-past 6 o'clock on Sunday morning, a fire was
discovered in a mill occupied by Messrs. llouldsworth and
Johnson, cotton spinners, in Birksland-street, New Leeds,
Bradford. Information was immediately conveyed to the
Bradford police station, and in a very short time the Corpo-
ration and Yorkshire fire brigades were on the spot andren-
dered vigorous aid in arresting the progress of the flames.
The fire broke out in a small spinning-room over the boiler-
house, at the rear of the mill, and the efforts of the firemen
were directed towards cutting off the communication with

the large mill adjoining the boiler-house. In this they were
successful, and in about two hours the fire was subdued, the
damage being almost wholly confined' to the boiler-house
and the room above. The damage is estimated at £x500,,
which is covered by insurance. It is not known how the
fire originated.
DETERMINED SUICIDES.—A young man, named
Henry James Clutterham, of 16, St. James-place, Hamp-
stead-road, was discovered, at about 6 o'clock yesterday
morning, by some of his relatives, lying on the floor with his
throat cut, and a razor in a pool of blood by his side. He
died within 20 minutes after his admission to University
College Hospital. The unfortunate young man was mar-
ried, and was only 28 years of age. No cause has been as-
signed for the act. Another most determined suicide was
committed yesterday morning by Mr. George Dixon, aged
41 years, a mathematical instrument maker, who resided at
No. 70, St. George's-road, Southwark. He was found by
his wife in a pool of blood. Mr. Baker, surgeon, was sent

his throat from ear to ear with a razor. The cause is not
known. The deceased has left a wife and three children.
