THE LATE ACCIDENT AT RETFORD.  A very painful feeling was excited in Retford on Monday in consequence of a report that the signalman at Retford (Tower) Railway Station had cowl. milted suicide. This was unfortunately correbortesi about noon by information of the fact being lodged with the coroner. Mr. Charles Whitehead was signalman at the Tower Station at Retford, and was on duty as usual on Sunday. Ile went to the pariah church in the evening and there was nothing up. parently wrong with him then. Ile spoke to some friends after leaving the church, and, on going home, was as cool and collected as possible—in fact, appeared to be in perfect health. After breakfast on Monday morning, and before going on duty, he left the room for a short time, and in a very few minutes after his wife heard a pistol report. She rushed to the spot and found Whitehead dead. He had daced the pistol in his mouth and deliberately fired it, the discharge scattering his brains in every directiou. It appears that ever since the late accident to the ,passenger train at Retferd (some months ago), which was attended with such fatal consequences, the deceased had been in a desponding state of mind. lie consulted Dr. Asbury some short time ago, and told him thcn that he had been 21 years in the company'a scm. a awl had never had an accident, and that wha n he s the fish train rushing on to the destruetion of the passenger train, just beneath the toe or. flea he wished he had been among the killed rather thin where he was. Ever since the accident his d. had been that of a man with something heavy en lie mind, and he had more than once said that lie weald make away with himself.

GUERILLA WAR IN TEXAS. —A despatch dated San Antonio, Texas, May 19. states that the Mexican robbers, Kickapoo and Lipon Indians, were again on the warpath. Soon after the United States commission left tin lower frontier, Mexican robbers again commenced depredations upon the defenceless citizens, robbing their ranches and driving off herds of horses and cattle. Several skirmishes took place, and numbers have been killed and wounded on both sides. On the Bth t.f May a band of 80 Kickapoos and I.ipon Indians made their appearance about eighty miles northwest of San Antonio, and drove off over 200 head of horses and some cattle. On the 10th, while several rancheros were before the United States Commission, a courier mune into the office and reported that a band of Kickapoo Indians were 16 miles off, herding stock, and shooting down every one who interfered with them. Several of the above rancheros have since returned, and reported that nearly all their stock was gime. It seems that ehe Indians have taken advantage of the abt•ence of the rancheros, while before the Commission, to steal their stock. It was rumoured that a Government train, en route ffom luStin to Fort Conch°, had been attacked on the San asittunio tido of Fort M'Kavett, and robbed, and seven Mexican teamsters murdered  The Russian house in the Vicuna Exhibition grounds fell in on Monday. One person AV NI killed and three dangerously injured. At Alston, East Cumberland, Thomas Lee, a draper, has been aceident,dly shot and killed whilst marking on the Skelgill Rifle Range. A woman named Jutton, wife of a carpenter at Brighton. has committed suicide by leaping off a high cliff near that town. She was tried some years ago for child murder, and acquitted on the ground of insanity. A robin's nest, which now contains six young birds, has been built i n chainmaking shop at Coalport, in a recess in the wall near the smi*.h's anvils' where sparks are constantly flying. In the Surrey Gardens, on Tuesday evening, a rope-walker named Lent, who pm forms as Mad'lle Peitarins' very narrowly escaped a violent death. He had just crossed the rope and arrived at the platform at the end, when the rope snapped in two. There was great excitement, but no one was seriously hurt _ _  .."ii178"1,71.:3111ER OP

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT • FUNERAL.—The funeral of the would-be murderer and suicide David Mackay, of Aston, near Birmingham, has been the occasion of a remarkable demonstration. Mackay, who was formerly the manager at Kynoccht's ammunition works at Upton, attempted to murder his wife, who was some 30 years his junior by cutting her throat. The motive of the crime was jealousy. Mackay afterwards attempted to commit suicide by cutting his own throat. He recovered and at the last Warwick Assizes, was sertenced to ten years penal servitude. A few days ego he committed suicide in War wick Gaol by hanging himself. Great spropathy was expressed for the deceased man by his friends, who felt that the crime was committed under ( ircumstances of the strongest prevocation. They requested the governor of the gaol to allow them to bury the body, and a satisfactory reply was received. Many of the decensed's old colleagues joined in the procession to the grave. So violent was the feeling expressed towards the young widow that she was compelled for safety to shield herself in a neighbour's house, stones and various missiles being thrown. The woman's mother, dressed in deep black, followed the cortege in a cab, but she was recognised by the mob, violently threatened, and hal to be escorted by the police.

SUICIDE OF AN ADMIRAL.  SHOCKING REVELATIONS.  On Saturday the inquest on the body of Rear. admiral Versturnie was held at the residence of the deceased, Arwenack Mansion, near Falmouth. Mrs Versturme, who was greatly affected when giving her evidence, deposed that she and her husband dieed together on l'hursday eveuing. They were very happy, and the deceased was in good spirits. After dinner they went into the dining-roma. Having a sore throat she asked her husband to excuse her singing to him as was her custom, and said she would play the piano only. She went to the piano, and her husband at the same time walked over to the fireplace and put the small brass poker into the fire, as she supposed to make is blaze. Shortly afterwards, as she was in the act of opening the piano, she heard a "stuttering" noise, which caused her to look round. She then saw that her husband had the red-hut poker in his hand. Something in his face alarmed her, and she rushed across the room and seized the poker. In the struggle which ensued for the possession of the weapon she burnt her hands, and then she fainted. After that she remembered nothing more. She always lived on the best of terms with her husbaud. There were, however, some family troubles which had upost her husband lately; and at the dining-table, when she was trylug to cheer him up, he remarked, "You are the most cheerful companion any man could have." Witness added that in the desperate struggle for the poker her husband seemed bereft of his seuses, and seized the lamp, the shovel, arid, in fact, auythiug he could lay his hands on. Ellen Davis, the only servant in the house at the time of the tragedy, said she heard groans proceeding from the drawing-room, and hurried thither. She found her mistress on the floor in ft-out of the fire and unconscious. A little distance from Mrs Versturme lay her master, with a poker in his hands, "struggling and banging himself about." She took the poker from him, and threw it to the end of the room. A lighted lamp was also on the floor, and this her master was "hugging" to him. She threw a rug over the lamp in order to put it out. She could not hear her mistress calling her, as the kitchen was too far away from the drawing-room.—Dr. Bullmore deposi-d that On his arrival he found the deceased on the floor of the drawing-room in a perfect state of frenzy. He was, in fact, suffering from a paroxysm of suicide mania. There were four punctured wounds in the abdomen, two of them going right thnugh the integuments, and all with an appearance of burning. The heated poker had penetrated to the peritouium. Blood was flo oiug feom his mouth, caused by his swallowing broken pieces of glass aud china. Witness knew Admiral Versturnie had been in a despondent frame of mind owing to family troubles, but he had never shown any sign of suffering from mania or delirium .remens. The jury returned a verdict that deceased died from the effects of wounds self-inflicted while in a state of temporary iusauity.
