In September of 1888 the arrivals from other than insular ports amounted to 42,646, so that there has been a decrease on the month this year of 9,6471. Still keeping to Douglas, and taking the season from May to September inclusive, the arrivals during 1888 and 1889 were as follows ;-1.888: lay, 35.8741 ; June, 24,871 :.

The unpleasant as been radg hetcreeapasseit sonetehaenn asum• ber ofac f lit t s itlioart there s to lo has la din compared with the previous one of 38,595 thus (says the Sun) stares us in the face. There was a slight gain in the arrivals from Barrow, Fleetwood, and other ports, but the loss on the Liverpool station was 46,195. The amount of passencer tax received in Douglas during the year ended 30th September last was £2,343. ss. 101 d., as against £2 551. 19s. 101d.for the previous year. The decrease this year is therefore £3OB. 14s. There is also a decrease in the Ramsay traffic. During September this year the arrivals f entn other than insular towns numbered 951 as against 1,221 in September, 1888, which shows a balance in favour of September, 1888. ot 270. Taking the season for this and last year Ramsey has been poorer this year by 1,110 visitors. as will be seen by the following returns, the arrivals from May to September inclusive this year number. 9,467, as against 10,577 in the corresponding period of 1888. These figures do not include the arrivals fr:-__l other insular ports, but we may. say that been landed at the Ramsay piers and quays from during the past season 10,132 excursionists have ether parts of the island. Of this number no fewer than 7,382 were disembarked from the Manx Fairy. The passenger tax at Ramsey (thanks to the Manx Fairy), has suffered but a slight decrease. During the year ended 30th September, 1888, the amount received was £134. us. 71d., while this year it was only 17s. 4d. less than that amount. CRIME IN HrNGAßT.—Partieulars are to hand of a terrible double suicide at Debreczin. A young man named Joseph Moricz, serving in the Honved army, shot his father, who, it appears, habitually illtreated his wife and daughter. The murderer showed little remorse for his crime, displaying singular indifference even after being sentenced to death. The first version of the affair was that on the evening of the double suicide Frau Moricz sent both her servants out. When they returned they found the house door locked. The police, on forcing an entrance, discovered the woman and her daughter lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor, both with shot wounds in the head. It was said that they had left no written explanation of their desperate de2d, but it was remembered that a few days previously Frau Moricz had observed to one of her servants that her unhappy daughter, who had already lost her intended husband, would never survive her brother's death. It seems that the Emperor had signed the death warrant before leaving for Meran. There was a large attendance at the funeral of Frau Moricz and her daughter, whose terrible end caused widespread consternation. After the ceremony it was rumoured that two bullets had been found in the body of the mother, which led many people to suppose that she had been shot by her daughter, who had then killed herself. It now transpires that the mother of the parricide, Moricz, who was supposed to have committed suicide with her daughter, did not take her own life, but was shot by the girl tefore the latter shot herself. Thus the son murdered his father and the daughter murdered her mother, who is said to have had no previous knowledge of her daughter's intention. The truth came out in a letter, written by the giti shortly before her de to her brother's' counsel, in which she says:—" I crave your forgiveness; but this must be done, for I have suffered terribly; There is nothing but death that can deliver me from the many ills with which the Almighty has visited us.. One thing I ask of you, sir. I was not able to write and tell Joni" (her brother now under Bentense of death) "of the dreadful deed I have done.

A man of thirty-five shot his father and stepmother in a vineyard, near Szegedin, and afterwards attempted to commit suicide. He had no other grievance against his father than the refusal of the latter to supply him with funds.  Published at 1, Warren-street, Cross-street.
