attempting to go to his own room fell
again. He was helped to bed, but was
found dead next morning. Medical evil

A rather amusing scene was wit
messed on Sunday evening in Ii. Gardi-
ner street during the arrest of a man
for drunkenness. Owing to his immense
weight and portly dimensions the two
constables who had him in custody
were unable to convey their heavy bur-
den to Store street and the station am
bulance having been requisitioned for
the purpose. he was placed in it, and
was being rolled along by a number of
youth for some distance when suddenly
the car collapsed, one of the wheels
having given away, and the huge form
was left sitting in the canvas on the
roadway. Seeing no other means out
of his difficulty, it was decided to carry
him the remainder of the journey.
which took the combined efforts of
three constables. two soldiers. and a
number of civilians to accomplish.

The rain which began about midnight
on Thursday continued without ceas-
ing until a quarter to five o'clock on
Saturday morning. The greater part
of Saturday was bright and clear, and
il was hard TO realize in the glorious
sunshine Of Saturday that Dublin
and. indeed. the whole country had
been subjected to continuous downpour
Of rain, covering a period of thirty
hours. Though the fall was most un-
usual in its continuity and density. it
is surprising to hear on reliable auth
ority that il had little or no effect i'm
saturating the land. The ground had
become so hardened that even in the
best land it did not penetrate more than
a couple of inches beneath the surface.
Fortunately the miniature deluge was
not accompanied by high wind. and
the damage done was comparatively
trfling, except at Bray, where the
forces of nature were supplemented by
the bursting of one of the Tartry mains,
and so caused the flooding of Little
Bray.
Dublin City escaped with eompara-
lively little discomfort, for what dam
age was done was comparatively
trifling.
