FALL OF BOWS IN LONDON:  FIVE PERSONS KILLED. At about half-past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon a serious accident, whereby five persons lost their lives, occurred in the Holloway-road, London. It appears that four small dealers' shops, numbered 231, 233, 235, and 237 were in course of demolition by a contractor. The t!sick part of the buildings had been taken down, and when the men left off work for the day the front , Walls abutting on the thoroughfare remained standing. These Were protected by a hoarding. At half .past two, however, the i1a8,4•114 by and neighboining shopkeepers were startled by the sudden collapse of the whole length of the wall, which fell across the footway, carrying the hoarding with it. Five persons passing at the time—three women and two boys—were buried in the ruins. ; The police were immediat-ly informed of the occur, rence, and with the assistance of the bystanders began to work to extricate the unfortunate victims. When this was effected four of them were dead, and the fifth, a boy named Frank James Webster, a4ed ten years, was so seriously injured that he died before a surgeon could arrive. The othor four bodies were removed to Holloway mortuary. Three were identified, viz., Guisetto Forti, aged 45, an Italian, of Little Bath-street, Clerkenwell ; Caroline Taylor, 34, of Eden-grove ; and Albert Stanard, ten years, of St. George's-road, Holloway. The other was a woman aged about 40. Two persons who were seriously injured by the falling bricks were taken to the Great Northern Hospital. An inquest on the victims was opened on Monday.  A most remarkable case is given in the Bristol Times and Mirror, and verified by the publishers Henry Ricketts, residing at Trym-cottages, West-. bury, Gloucestershire, sufferel two years with severe rheumatism. Recently he was so severely attacked that he was sent to Bath Hospital for treatment and the Use of the waters. In five weeks he was discharged worse than when he entered. He was pronounced incurable. Taken home he was persuaded to try St. -Jacobs Oil. He did so. Wonderful as it may appear, a single application freed him from all paM. The remedy has a!so been used in his family for toothache, with the same results. Dozens of other cases are cited by the Times, proving the marvellous effects of the remedy. St. Jacobs Oil is sold by Chemists at 2s. 6d. a bottle, or by post 2s. 9d., from the Charles Voelger Company, sole proprietor, 45, Farringdon-road, London. The New York Freeman, publishes a report that General Salomon, President of Hayti, has been assassinated. A murderous affray has occurred at Odessa between two English seaman, named Siinpson and Francis, belonging to the steamer Lizzie. Francis received a deep stab below the heart, and lies in a precarious and unconscious condition in the hospital. Bimpson has been charged before the Russian Policecourt.
