PART IL.

IN the second week Of tho following
June MIR. Heath, who had a small house
in Noting Hill, was sitting IN his parlor
at little after o'clock III the evening,
when the servant came III 10 say that a
Mr.. Bailey wished to see him.
"Show him IN at once, saith Heath,
who rose from his seat and went to the
door to meet him.
A shabby dressed little man, who
looked something like lawyers clerk
ont Of emp .oymeDt, came into the room.
"Well, SAID Heath, in his usual gruil
way. when he had closed the door, which
he did very carefully as if he were afraid
that somebody might be listening out
side.
"Mr. Oswald'e dead, sir. Died at )
o'clock this evening. ! only heard of 1t
within the last hour, and came on at
once to tell you.
For q moment there was silence,
during which tue little man stood twiri-
ing his hat in his hands.
At last Heath said: care you quite
certain Of this?"
"Quite certain. sir" was the answer.

Bailey, as he left the room.
Bailey was q nondescript character who
was occasionally employed by Heath

tiyes living in St Paul's road, be had
been engaged TO bring Mr. Heath the

A singular Accident.
fRrtalegraph y Lhe pIspalch. |


DENVER, August ia singular acct
dent occurred Yesterday on the Denver.
Utah and Pacific railway near Garfield.
At that point the track runs direct 70 the
Mitchell coal-mine. The grade is very
steep, and il is customary TO ship loaded
cars TO the main track without the assist
ance OF an engine. Yesterday the engl-
neer OF q passenger train, upon approach
ing the branch track. stopped and
whistled as usual He lad just
started his engine again and reached the
crossing when two heavily laden cars
descending the grade dashed directly
into the engine. The locomotive was
derailed, and as it fell Engineer George
Hopkins IVES carried beneath il. The
lever pinned him to the ground, gradual
~ squeezing him to death, although not
with sufficient force to crush any bones.
The fireman was also badly injured. but
was spirited away by officials OF the road.
Had the accident occurred a second later
q closely-pscked passenger-car would
have been wrecked with most disastrous
results.
