BRUTAL MURDER IN GLASGOW. We have received intelligence of one of tat most brutal murders which has ever occurred ix Glasgow was compitted on Monday Lrenoon, with, in a private club botise in llentield street, one of the principal thoroughfares of the city. It is sup osed that the unfortunate woman, Mrs. Jeans 11,114 wards, or Miller. hail mtt her death by the hands of her hushajd, The house is to stories in heights the naderflat being offiees and the upper part used as a club and reading room. Mra. Miller lived on the premises. Her husband was at one time a soldier; but since his discharge they have, we believe, laved apart, and he has only recently left the fever hospital, where, it is said, there were doubts aw to his sanity. It seems that early in the forenoon one of the clerks heard a scuffle in the room above. He listened, a.d hearing a door shut he left. Shortly afterwards he heard cries of " Murder " proceeding from the upper flat, and on going upstairs he found a wooden implement, covered with blood, lying oa the landing. He at once called for the police, and the constable, on seeing the blood, ran for assistance. and in the meantime the murderer escaped. One of the lieutenants and detgtivq s• on arrived, and the door was forced open. Oi rOo—e-eeling along the doorway, they came on the body of the woman lying on her left side, in a pool of blood. She was quite dead, and her face, head, and neck bore marks of having been subjected to most brutal tseatment On a f urther exanaination of the body being made by Dr. lif'Ewen, it was discovered ' that the deceased had been stabbed in the neck with a sharp knife, the weapon having entered the throat just below the right ear, and made its exit at the opposite side The first assault seems to have taken place in the kitchen, for there were more pools of blood in different places, as if the poor woman had been hunted from place to place, and at last attempted to reach the door, but her assailant had evidently dealt her the blow while she was in the lobby, and to have left his victim in her blood. A pail v. as alas found, in which the murderer must have washed hie hands before making hus escape.  0171137/1111 OP TTPHOM 17 LORD CAIDOGAA'S Fonitv.--Much sympathy is felt in London society at the outbreak of typhoid fever in Lord Cadogan's family, and the circumstances are not without an important public leaven. The conditions under which it occurred resemßle ri a r.markable degree those which gave rise to the outbreak of typhoid fever among the visitors at Londeaborongli Lodge, of whom the Prince of Wales was owe of the sufferers. There are six children in tlie and they had been for a few weeks in occupation of Lord Elcho's town house, 23, St. James's place. where three of them were seized with typhoid feve3 within a few days of each other. Lord Chelsea, who had a severe attack is progressing favourably, although still very weak. The other children are doing well. Tracing the cause of the outbreak, it , appears that the house has the characteristic sanitary defects of so many of our town and country houses. The closets, situated in the centre of the house, open on the bed room landings; the soilpipes are not ventilated; and, as there are sometimes downward currents through the ventilating shafts of the closets, sewer-air easily find its way into the house. The waetepipes of the water cis terns pass directly into the soil pipes. The lessons of the most impreseire events are speedily forgot, tea, and so it would appear that, in many of the most luxurious mansions of this country the teachings of the Prince's illness, which at the time were echoed by a thousand tongues, have passed unheeded.—Pr;tish Medical Journal, A.
