The London Times says:
II Lynch's evidence can be satisfactorily
proved, and it can be shown that . Dono :
van Rosa furnished the Ia,ge sum of
money found OH Dr. Gallagher, it will e a
question for consideration whether O'Dono-
van Rosa cannot, by some sort of interna-
tional procedure, be made anendable to
the laws of the empire. The Irish conspira-
tors must be considered criminals and not
beligerents.
The Importance Of Good Water.
A remarkable outbreak of entric fever
occurre in Eversham, England last sum-
mer. Fifty-one households were invad-
ed with IS cases, 46 Of the patients falling
i'll during the fortnight ending August S.
The houses in which the patients lived
were in many instances several miles
apart, their sanitary circumstances. va
ried widely, sewers and water supply
were entirely different, and the milk
supply was derived from several inde-
pendent sources. In these circumstances

to discover the source of the epidemic.
1t was found however, that all the pa
tients attacked before August 8 had at
tended a regatta at Eversha,n,
and that they had all been
present in one particular meadow.
Further investigations developed the
fact that 30 of the Sc had certainly, and
] had most probably, partaken Of re-
freshments at a certain stall. The other
three were in doubt: In one instance
two Of the party of three drank lemon
ade, while the third took nothing; the
two had the fever, the other escaped.
The water used in the refreshment stalls
had been drawn from well near the
meadow, the water of which was found
to be SO contaminated that it was at
once closed, the belief of the health Of
ficer being that this polluted well had
been the immediate source Of the cpl
1emic. The ice as vel! as the wafer
used in beverages, is often a source, of
peril, since the bonds from which it is
cut are too frequently foul if not infected.
The theory that water in freezing clears
itself of noxious geams has been shown
Iy careful trial to be untrue. Contain.
mated water yields impure ice, no IN It.
Ter how slowly the freezing point is &C.
complished.
