The roof of the outhone aas bespattered with the dead man's brains, and altogether the spectacle was one well calculated to inspire horror in the mind of the beholders. rhe deceased had obviously terminated his existence) by placing a charge of dynamite either in the month or on the head, and then applying a fuse to the detonator. It appears that the unfortunate man rose from bed at 7.30 o'clock, and bade his wife and three children good bye. He poems to have Tft the house and then returned, having in his possession the potent explosive wherewith he was to hurry himself into eternity. EVIUSH was, though a quiet, yet, in wine respects, a singular man, and when littler the influence of drink had once threatened hie family and neighbours with dynamite. Three weeks ago he was attacked and badly beaten be men at the mountain side and, though had since recovered, he etill coin. plaited of pains in the head. Thhe deputy coroner, Mr C. Ketieole' on Monday, held an irqueet at the Glyhrhedynof Ferndale, on the body of David Evans, collier, 41 yenrs of age, who Was, as already described, lomat dead in an outhouse, under very siugu,ar circumstances.

THE LORD MAYOR INTERVIEWED.  The Indepeadance Belgspublibbes an interview of one of its repreeentatives with Me. De Keyser, Lord Mayor of London, coneerning the recent Wititschapel tragedies.
