DuhCIllCdu was ICSS'utiy oWOhC d. 3
O'Clock in the morning by violent ex-
plosion, which was followed by con-
Aagration. On enquiry it was found
that one of the town gasometers had
exploded and ten had caught fire. 1t
created great alarm in the town and in
Liverpool, which is on the other side of
the river Mersey, but no material dam
age was done outside the gas works,
which were wrecked. -.
The particulars of the melancholy bal
loon catastrophe are as follows: Capt.
Templeton, Mr.. Agg-Gardner and Mr..
Walter Powell, NJ. P. for Malmesbury,
ascended at Bath in the balloon
"Saladin." 1t passed over Somerset
to Exeter and Dorset. Near Bridgeport
the aeronauts endeavored to descend,
and in SO doing the balloon struck the
ground violently, pitching Captain Tenn
pleton out of the car. 1t rose again,
and in rising Mr., Agg-Gardner fell
distance of eight feet, breaking his leg,
but Mr.. Powell assembled with the bal
loon and has not since been heard of,
and it is feared that he and the balloon
were lost at sea.

William Pickington, the poet, was
a native of Rockingham. He died in
ITO, and his will was proved at York,
177a. In 1921 there appeared
"Poems on Various Subjects" by VIII
liam Hickington, of Pocklington; but
whether a ,posthumus publication of
the above or the production of son
or other relative, we cannot tell. His
will was, in rhyme, as follows:
This is my last will;
insist on it still;
So sneer on, and welcome,
And even laugh your fill,
l, William Rckingham,
T.. Poet of Pocklington, ~ sI#
Do give and bequeathe, .
.- As free as I breathe,
To thee, Mary Joram,
The queen Of my harem,
MY cash and my cattle,
With every chattel.
To have and to hold,
Come heat or come cold,
Sans hindrance or strife,

As witness my hand, IT,.

 by her bedside, sewing on black dress, and as we entered arose, greeted us pleasantly and then resumed her sewing. She is not yet out of her teens, though her twentieth birthday is close at hand. She has good figure, bright intelligent face, and, in spite of her surroundings, a happy expression. She would be called pretty by almost any one, and some would say she is handsome. Her features are regular, and she possesses fresh. blooming complexion. In answer to question, she said she had no dread of an ap- preaching trial and expected to be soon at liberty; but she keeps closed lips on every thing connected with the tragedy. The fur niture in her room consisted of three or four chairs, a table, narrow strip of carpeting and a bed with an iron frame.

rThe Suif. Against the Ames,.

BosToN, April 25-In the supreme judicial court the trial began in the suit of Isaac Fay Tor vs Fred. l.. Ames and others for S1OO,- 900 loss sustained by false representation in the purchase by Taylor in 1871 of the capital stock of the Anes' Plough company. Of the shares Oakes An1es owned 1, 735, Oliver 1, ,175 and other members of the family smaller number and in the sale Taylor claims they represented that the assets of the company over liabilities were $6O2, ,G81, whereas the same were not over $25O, 900. Taylor also sues the executors of Oliver and Oakes Ames for another $1OO,00O for breach of contract. The answer is that the misrepresentations were due to false statem- nts by the book keepers which the family supposed true, and that in 1872 Taylor became director in the company and Oliver and Oakes Ames agreed to abandon the contract, which, how ever, was kept in force after the settlement with Taylor in full for all claims.
