TERRIBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.  On Tuesday a terrible tragedy was enacted at Dar. well, where a married man, named John Waddicor, aged 40, an engineer, cut his wife's throat in • frightful manner, and afterwards cut his own with a rang. Both died in a few minutes. Waddicor went to his work as usual, and after starting the millengine, he went home and most deliberately seized his wife and cut her throat. She ran out into the street screaming, Waddicor after her. Mr. Johnson, schoolmaster, and a butcher, attempted to prevent him doing more mischief. He, however, dragged his wife back into the =use and locked the door. He then nearly severed her head from her body and then killed himself. The woman was Waddicor's second wife, and they had lived =happily together. The woman had been out all night, and jealousy is said to have been the cause of this terrible outrage. He leaves six children. Waddicor had threatened several times to take his wife's life. Last week, it is alleged, he procured some poison and put it into a teapot, but the wife, suspecting something was wrong, took the tea to a druggist and had it analysed, when it was found to contain a deadly poison. Acting, however, on the advice of friends, she did not give him into custody.  An orphan girl named Macpherson, assistant at an orphan institution, was bathing with some children at Broadstairs, when she got out of her depth and haying only a alight knowledge of awimining was drowned.

Frow the appearance of the remains they have evidently bem kept in spirits for a considerable length of time, and the belief is that they were thrown out of a prraing As the spot where they lay is close to the canal, it would appear that the thrower intended the jar, which had hem sealed, to drop into the canal, but it fell on a buttress of the railway embankment and smashed.

Among the votes passed were those for Victual, and Clothing, for Seamen and Marines, Admiralty Office, Coast Guard Service, and Naval Reserves, Scientific Branch, and for Dockyards, and upon these several conversattons of Interest arose. The House adjourned at a late bo,r.  SOME anstressing revelations were recently made at an inquest held by the Birmingham coroner, Mr. Hawke., as to the death of Elizabeth Oedema, aged 33,0 married woman, whose husband lives in Garrisonlane. Although far ad, anced in consumption, she had been neglected by her husband, and whilst, as afterwards appeared, she was in a dying condition, he took her in a wheelbarrow to an uncle's. The uncle would not receive her, and she was subsequently, in accordance with the regulations of that institution, refused admission to the Aston Workhouse, whither by the kindness of the vicar of Bordmley, she was taken in a cab. Whilst being removed from the workhouse she died. The jury found that tbe cause of death was phthisis, but added to the verdict an expression of regret that the law would not touch such a scoundrel as the husband?

EXTRAORDINARY RESCUE FROM DROWNING BY A DOG.  At the flow-street Police-court, London, a young woman named Amelia Cricldand was charged with attempting to commit suicide. About half-past eight o'clock at night the defendant was seen on the Thames Embankment. Owing to her strange manner Policeconstage 281 E watched her, and after she had proceeded some distance he raw her throw herself into the water near Cleopatra's Needle. The constable ran to the Thames Police-station and gave the alarm, and a boat was launched. A few seconds after the defendant had thrown herself into the water Mr. Thomas Lyford, of 6, Duke-street, Adelphi, was passing down the Embankment with his dog—a half-bred Newfoundland and retriever. The animal went down the steps at Cleopatra's Needle to the water, and returned. Looking up into its master's face it gave two sharp barks, and ran towards the water again. Mr. Lyford knew at once that something was the matter, and followed the dog down the steps. He saw the prboner in the water some distance out of roach. The dog jumped in. swam to the prisoner, and caught hold of her dress. He dragged her towards the Embankment, and enabled Mr. Lyford, who had walked up to his knees into the water, to reach prisoner with his cane. She seized it, and was dragged out of the river by Mr. Lyford and his dog. Site was in a very exhausted state, and was removed to the policestation, where she was seen by Dr. Mills, the divisional surgeon. Ile directed her removal to the workhouse, where she remained, being, at the time, too unwell to be taken up to the court for examination before. Mr. Lyford brought the dog to the court, and it entered the witness-box wiqt him, and placed ita forepaws on the ledge of the box, looking pond the court in a most intelligent manner. Mr. Vaughan It is a very noble and intelligent-looking dog. Mr. Lyford Yes. He came and told me that something was wrong as plainly as any Christian could. In reply to the magistrate, the prisoner said she had been induced to attempt her life owing to the trouble she had had in consequence elites' husband's conduct. He had left her six years ago. It was, however, stated that she had been frequently charged at that court with drunkenness, whereupon Mr. Vangban said he was afraid that she had led an abandoned and worthless life; and though she had been, as she had alleged, harshly treated by her husband, that was no justification for her attempt to commit suicide. Her life would have been lost had it not been for the sagacity of a dog and the promptitude of its master. Mr. Vaughan remanded her to the Rouse of Detention.

The meeting was presided over by Mr. George B. Jerram, Surveyor and Inspector of Nuisances, Walthainstow, whilst gentlemen from various districts were present. The chairman explaincd the rules and objects of the association, which it was, he said, most desirable to form, as it would greatly add to existing knowledge of sanitary laws, and would strengthen the hands of inspectors in dealing with unpleasant duties for the benefit of the community at large. It was proposed that the association should hold monthly meetings, and that papers on sanitary subjecta should be read and discussed. A council of twelve was %hen elected, with Mr. Samuel C.

Mrs. Mary Ann Adams, 5, Hanbury-street, SpiteWeida, stated that deceased was her husband, and of late he had been very strange in hi, manner. His mother committed suicide, and his brother was confined in Colney Batch Lunatic Asylum at the present time. John Corbett, a railway porter in the employ of the North London Railway Company, stated that at about half -past ten at ni,ht he saw the deceased on No. I platform of the Highbury Station. He was standing on the edge of the platform by the entrance gab,. As the train was coming into the station the deconed appeared to throw himself in front of the engine or spring forward. As won as the train was brought, to a standstill deceased was extricated. He had both legs cutoff, but he was still alive, and he was removed to the German Hospital. The deceased was quite sensible, and said, "1 did not do it," but afterwards said," I was forced to do it, and was dragged under." On the holy was found 12 in gold, 12s to silver, and other articles. Mr. Adolphus Kratz, medical officer at the German Hospital. stated that deceased died from shock to the system consequent on the injuries received. The jury returned a verdict of' Temporary insanity."  THE result of the South Wales and Monmouthshire Associated Collieries sliding scale audit for the paq three months ban been declared.

THE oyal Academy has taken corporate action, a• we hoped would be the case, in addressing the Prime Mini ter, and begging him to promote the removal of the 'Wellington Monument to a proper site in St. Paul's. In addition, and independently of the Academy action a memorial signed by nearly every artist of note in London and many writers on art —in all, about :100 persons—has been presented to Mr. Gladstone, begging that the monument may be completed and properly placed. A third memorial to the same effect, signed by more than 100 members of Parliament, preceded the above. If memorialisation is of any use the thing may be said to be done, especially as there can be no doubt the desireof the Dean of St. PauPs and some of his leading clergy is that due honour shall be paid to the duke and his sculptor.--eft/utrcrurn. . .
