SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT
RAILWAY.—Last night, about 11 o'clock a very shocking
accident happened at the Woolwich Arsenal Station on the
North Kent Railway. A young man, a waiter at the
Bull's Head public house, opposite the station, was stand-
ing on the steps of one of the carriages in the last train up
to town. When the train went on the young man, who was
wishing a friend good bye, attempted to alight on the platform
when he missed his footing and fell under the carriages.
The poor fellow was picked up in a shockingly mutilated
state, and survived the extensive injuries he received but a
very short time. Mr. Carter, the coroner, and the profes-
sional gentlemen who had been attending the inquest at
Erith, were in the train.

SINGULAR SUICIDE.—At Verviers, in Belgium, a
strange suicide was committed a few nights back. A young
man of some properly, named Reuter, on returning home
opened with a razor the veins in his arms. The blood which
flowed after a while trickled through the floor, a boarded
one, into the room beneath, which was occupied by his
mother. She asked what was the matter, and he answered
that he had only spilt some water. A little time after she
heard a strange noise, and went into his room. He was in
the agony of death, and though she immediately procured
medical assistance for him, he soon after expired. The only
reason that can be given for his suicide is that he had be-
come almost idiotic from drinkingto excess.

DUELLING IN AUSTRIA.—The following deplorable
affair occurred on the 17th inst. at Enns. On the evening
of that day young Count Almasy, lieutenant in the Volun-
teer Hussar Regiment, and who was quartered there, en
tered the public room of the much-frequented inn the Black
Eagle, where a great number of guests were assembled. All
the seats were occupied, and, in his usual lively manner, he
asked the waiter for a chair. Before the man could bring it
the Count observed a vacant chair close to a lieutenant of
the same regiment, whose namo is not mentioned, and he
forthwith seized it and pulled it quickly away ; but, as the
lieutenant was partly using the chair, its sudden removal
caused him to fall upon the ground. The consequence of
this wa- an angry discussion between the two officers, and
the lieutenant, who held himself insulted by the uncere-
monious snatching away of the chair, challenged the young

eight hours afterwards. He was buried yesterday at Erms
with great solemnity. The position of his adversary, who
was slightly wounded, cannot be considered very enviable.
The parents of the slain man were forthwith informed of
their son's fate by telegraph.—Lienzer Abendbote.
SEAMEN AND STORM WARNINGS.—Now that the
winter months are approaching, the storm signals which
are sent down by the Marine Department of the Board of
Trade, through Rear-Admiral Fitzroy, when bad weather is
threatening, are attracting a good deal of attention among
seafaring people in the north of England. On Saturday
the drum was hoisted at Shields harbour, denoting that
dangerous winds might be expected from nearly opposite
quarters successively. On Monday the drum was again
hoisted, denoting the same source of danger, and on Tues-
day, at 4 15 p.m., a telegram was received from Admiral
Fitzroy, " Hoist drum, and cone below, point down," in-
dicating dangerous winds from the south. The result of all
this, if acted upon, would have been that the vessels ready
for sea would have kept in harbour. But as on Sunday the
weather was mild and the sea smooth, and as on Monday
and Tuesday it was blowing an "off-shore" wind, vessels
ready proceeded on their voyages. On Monday morning,
between 2 o'clock and daybreak, a fearful gale, accompanied
with heavy rain, raged in the North Sea, but as it blew off
shore, vessels off the Durham and Yorkshire coasts escaped.
The wind having got round to N.E., a fleet of vessels over
due were arriving in the Tyne and other north-east ports
from the Baltic and North of Europe on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday.
