SAD DEATH OF A SUTTON GENTLEMAN It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of the late Frederick William Bauer, of Hameln House, The DritTold, Sutton Co'illicit', under peculiarly sad circumstances. Deceased had been mentally and physically ill for some months past, and Mr. Duncalfe was in continual attendance, and from his state of mind vigilant watch was made over him. Unhappily by some means he obtained possession of a razor on Thursday, and cut his throat, death being almost instantaneous. The inquest was held on Satur day, when the jury returned a verdict of "Suicide while of unsound mind," Mr. Duncalfe stating in evidence that deceased had been suffering from degeneracy of the nerve centres which, if life had been prolonged, would undoubtedly have resulted in general paralysis, and there was no hope of recovery to sound health.

KILLED BY FALLING MASONRY. One man was killed and two injured in a serious a.,,idetit which occurred on Saturday morning at to old Hanover Chapel, Regent street, London. opposite the end of Little Argyle-street. The man killed is Joon Green, aged 35, and the two injured are James Bunker, both of whose legs are broken, and George Gi.er, whose injury is comparatively slight. It appears that these three men and about half a score others were engaged pulling down the foundations at the rear of the chapel. The basement 111.1.1 be,n supported by arches. and it was in these that opera. tions were being conducted. At the time severe carts were standing above these arches being loaded, while the men were engaged underneath. Suddenly and without warning, three of the arches collapsed, engulfing several of the men in the ruins, and three of the carts and horses fell down into the chasm which thus yawned where they had been standing, dropping down a distance of UM. The other workmen were quickly at work to release their comrades but Green was quite dead when reached. The only two who were seriously injured were removed to the Middlesex Hospital, while Green's body was taker to the mortuary. The horses were only slightly injured, while several of the other men suffered slightly f • the falling stones.
