THE RISING IN UGANDA. MUTINEERS WELL ARMED. Intelligence from Uganda has been received indicating that the recent revilt in Buddu was connected with the movements of the mutinous Congo troops on the frontier. From the further details it appears that an army, including many Buddu natives, was despatched to Toro in June, under the command of Muywanya, the Roman Catholic Prime Minister—one of the few of the loyal members of the Buddu party-to fight the Congolese soldiers, and it is inferred that the people of Buddu availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by the absence of the Prime Minister, and of other natjves accompanying him who were loyal to the Government, to rise against the British. It is stated that the mutinous Congo troops have eight Maxims and other large guns, and a large supply of breech-loading rifles.

CANON'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH. FOUND DROWKBD IN A WELL. It is reported from Salisbury that the body of Canon Slater-Browne, M.A., of Cholderton House, Salisbury, has been found in a well. He was missed and a search was instituted, with the result that one of his slippers was found near the well. The cover was taken off, and the body, which was dreadfully injured, was found in the water. The rev. gentleman was about sixty years of age. He Was an eloquent preacher, but at the time of his death he held no active office in the Church, being non-residentiary canon. He was educated at Worcester College, Oxford, and was sub-dean of Salisbury from 1882 until 1887. The deceased went for a walk at seven o'clock on Thursday evening, and it is believed that shortly afterwards he accidentally fell into the well.

BIG BLAZE AT BELFAST. FIVE LIXEN WAREHOUSES DESTROYED BY FIRE. An extensive fire broke out in Belfast with the result that several linen warehouses were com- pletely gutted. These included the premises of Messrs. Kidd, Boden, and Company, Messrs. J. B. Elliott and Company, Messrs. W. R. M'Call and Company, Messrs. Macauley and Company, and Messrs. A. A. Johnson and Company, also a por- tion of Messrs. Moore and Wernberg's premises. The supply of water available for the fire brigades was fortunately ample, but the extensive stocks of linen and yarns burned with frightful rapidity, and it was only with the greatest possible effort that the fire was I revented extending to other large buildings adjoining, and also from crossing to the other side of the street. One fireman was severely injured. The burned buildings were used only for business purposes, and there was never any question of danger to life to those engaged in the warehouses. The destruction of property was enormous. n_"

A lad named Ernest Palmer, aged 16, residing at Henry-street, Plymouth, has been arrested on a charge of causing the death of another lad named Bunker, of Pamphlets, near Plymouth. The lads. are believed to have quarrelled after the annual race meeting, and the dispute ended in blows, from one of which, it is alleged, Bunker immediately succumbed.

BOMB OUTRANKS IN SPAIN. It is reported from Ferrol that two dynamite bombs were exploded by t, 0 unknown persons before the houses of the magistrate ot the city and of the mayor of St. Martin, the latter being about a mile from the town- It is stated that the damage done by the explosions is considerable, but there was no loss of life. The Police are making active search for the authors of the outrage. =-

Mr. Mark Why ley, County Coroner for Bedford- shire, held an inquest at Oakley on the body of a married woman named Line, who died the other day from shock caused by a wasp sting. The deceased woman knocked the wasp off her child's clothing, and was stung on the wrist. She imme- diately fell down Ui a faint, and died within a few minutes. The jury found a verdict of death from shook.

THE STRIKES IN PENNSYLVANIA FILING ON THE STRIKERS. MAHY KILLED AND WOUNDED. A report that the Deputy Sheriffs fired on the miners who are on strike near, Coleraine is con- firmed. Twenty-two of the men were killed, and 36 seriously and 40 slightly -wounded. The men declare that the firing was unprovoked. It appears that 250 unarmed strikers started to march to Lattimer in order to induce the workers at that place to come out. Near the mine they met Sheriff Martin with 90 deputies. The Sheriff com- manded the strikers to halt, and they obeyed. He then ordered them to disperse. The leaders of the men expostulated, but the Sheriff persisted, and find- ing that hilt words had no effect, read the Riot Act. Few of the men understood this, as the majority do not speak English, and crowded round the Sheriff in their anxiety to know what he was reading. n They assert that they did him no violence and merely jostled him. Pushing his way through the crowd, however, the Sheriff ordered the deputies to fire a volley at close range into the mass of the mass of the strikers. Dozens of the men fell and the rest Bed for their lives. A second valley was then poured into the fugitives, many of whom fell. The Sheriff asserts asserts that he was assaulted, and says he realised that the foreigners were a desperate lot, who had little respect for human life. He adds that he tried to arrest the leader and that the first volley was fired over their heads. The militia have been called out to preserve order. International complications may arise, as it is understood that many of the men shot are not American citizens. Another statement says The numbers of the miners now ascertained to have been killed and wounded in the encounter with the Sheriff and his deputies differ slightly from those first reported. Nineteen of the strikers lost their lives, 11 having been killed on the spot, and eight having suocumbed to their wounds. Forty-one others were wounded. but not fatally. It is reported that some of the dead and wounded were brutally treated. It was reported on Tuesday that 23 of the Pennsylvania miners who were shot down by a sheriS's posse were dead, indignation meetingt were, being held. A strike disturbance occurred as Pittsburg, where in the scuffle the sheriff's deputies" were clubbed by women.

TRACTION ENGINE'S MAD CAREER. In Maidstone, on Saturday, a panio was caused by the appearance of a traction engine and two trucks riding down an incline at 18 or 20 miles an hour. People fled in all directions. The driver and his mate pluckily stuck to their posts, and, regaining control of the runaway, managed to turn into a side street. With admirable coolness and dexterity the driver threaded his way between vans and sarts, and even steered safely past three children who were huddled in a heap, passing them by a foot, and eventually bringing the engine and trucks to a stop without a mishap.

SPANISH DISASTER IN CUBA. TOWN WRECKED WITH BOMBS. The Madrid Impartial has reoeived lengthy dispatches from Cuba, via Key West, giving full details of the capture by the rebels of the important stronghold of Victoria de las Tunas, which is described as an event to the very gravest significance, the town being considered as the key to Eastern Cuba. According to the dispatches it was known by all the military authorities, in- cluding those in command at Victoria, that the rebel leader, Calixto Garcia, had long been plan- ning a move against the town, the garrison of which oonsisted of 400 men, the majority, however being on the sick list. On Aug. 14 Garcia's force, 4,000 strong, arrived before Victoria ani commenced siege opera- tions. After a det,ermed assault on August 22, which was repulsed with loss, the rebels opened a heavy bombardment with four pieces of cannon and a dynamite gun, the destruction effected by the latter being enormous. The principal build- ings were speedily reduced to ruins, and the remnant of the garrison, consisting of 50 men, capitulated on August 30, and were permitted to march out unmolested. The rebel loss is said to have been over 100. An official telegram has just been made public respecting the fall. The details are essentially the same as already published by some of the newspapers, but the official version states that Garcia disregarded a red flag plaoed by the garrison on the hospital, and fired on it, with disastrous results to the inmates.

BOATING FATALITY NEAR LOWESTOFT. Three London visitors, Mr. Fred Douglas Cole. man, Mr. Joseph Coleman, and Miss Hatch Smith, started on Sunday in a lug sail boat up the Oulton Broad, near Lowestoft. They had gone about a quarter of a mile when a squall struck the boat, heeling it over. The three occupants were thrown into the water. Mr. Fred Coleman and Miss Smith sank. Mr. J. Coleman dived for them, but could not recover them. A steam wherry near by went,to the spot. In about a quarter of an hour :the bodies of the two visitors were recovered. .Attempts were made at resuscitation, but were of no avail. The bodies were conveyed to a hotel at Oulton to await an inquest. Mr. Fred Coleman Was 24 years old, and Miss Hatch Smith 20. An inquiry was held on Monday. The evidence showed: that promptness and gallantry were ex- hibited in attempting a rescue. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental drowning," but con- sidered that the boat ought not to have been let out: for hire with so large a sail unreefed. The jurymen were also strongly of opinion that boats and watermen, should be licensed, and effective bye-laws made.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT A MANSION. Rawcliffe Hall, near Goole, the residenee of Mr. Ralph Creyke, D.L., and ex-High Sheriff of York- shire, was partially destroyed by fire on Sunday morning. The fire originated in the west end of the mansion, and is supposed to be due to a beam in the chimney catching fire. The flames were first observed by tlhc owner. who was walking in the grounds. The Goole Fire Brigade were early on the scene, but despite their etforts the more ancient half of tlie house, dating from the seven. teenth century, was burnt out. Most of the con- tents of the lower rooms, including valuable Florentine furniture, priceless, curios, and pictures by some very celebrated painters, were saved. The damage, which is covered by insurance, is estimated at £ 15,000.

FUNERAL OF MR. JUSTICE CAVE. The remains of Mr. Justice Cave were interred at Woodmansterne, Surrey. By desire of the widow the arrangements were simple and quiet as possible. The service was conducted by the Rev. H. Hamilton, vicar of Woodmansterne. Lady Cave was unable to attend, and the chief mourners were the late judge's three sons, while a few of his nearest friends were present. The body, which was enclosed in a polished oak coffin with brass fittings, was taken to the grave on the hand bier, the mourners following on foot. The wreaths in- cluded one from the Lord Chief Justice.

TWO BROTHERS DROWNED. A verdict of accidental death was returned at an inquest on Saturday respecting the fatal drowning accident to John Bernardo Peverelle, aged 2-4, and Eugenio, 18, two brothers from Birmingham. They hired a machine on the beach and although there was a heavy swell on they proceeded to swim. They were soon seen in difficulties, but, before help could ,be, rendered they sank, notwithstanding a plucky attempt at rescue by a Mr. Tyne.

DISAPPEARANCE OF A SAILOR. The new battleship Hannibal arrived in Ports- mouth Harbour on Monday, and was berthed in the repairing basin. She reports that one of her navigating party, a leading seaman named Sawyer, had been missing for several days. It is feared that he fell overboard at Pembroke, and was drowned. Sawyer, who joined the Hannibal from the Victory, obtained leave of absence from Satur- day until Monday, but returned on board on Saturday evening. It is not known whether he went ashore again. A stoker reported that he had heard a splash about 10 o'clock, but nothing further was thought about the matter until Sawyer was reported missing. It is understood he was recently married.

Threshing returns show that the Manitoba wheat harvest was over-estimated. The crop will be between 17,000,000 and 18,000,000 bushels. During a quarrel outside the North London Hotel, Kilburn, a man was knocked down, and when picked up he was dead.

CURIOUS RELIGIOUS CEREMONY. A religious ceremony of a very imposing charac- ter took Dlace in Cork ou Sunday, the occasiou being the translation ot the relics of the remains of Bles«ed Thaddeus McCarthy, who wa« Bishop of Cork in the fourteenth century. Last February, at Rome, in the presence of a number of the Irisfi hierarchy, the bishop was canonised in solemn form, and subsequen! ly a portion of his remains were at Iverea, in North Italy (where the prelate was interred) handed over to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Cork for transference to his native place. On Sunday a procession of religious bodies, carrying banners and sacred emblems, traversed some of the principal streets of Cork, after which the relics (which were contained in a handsome gold casket) were deposited in the Roman Catholic cathedral. The route taken by the procession was profusely I decorated with flags and evergreens, and in the evening there were illuminations on a large scale. The Roman Catholic Bishops of Cork, Cloyne, Limerick, Waterford, and Ross participated in the proceedings, which were witnessed by thousands of people.

ANCHOR LINER ADRIFT. CIRCASSIA DISABLED AND OVERDUE. Disquieting news has been received concerning the Anchor finer Circassia, which left New York on August 28 for the Clyde. She has been thirteen days on the homeward voyage, and is now thirty- six hours overdue. The steamer Island, of Copen- hagen, which passed Lloyd's signal Rtation at Butt I. oft-ewls, off the west coast of Scotland, reported having communicated with the Circassia in lat. 52 46 N., long. 33.54 W., which wtorM be about half her voyage. Her screw shaft was broken. The Island took the liner in tow and brought her 100 miles, until, there being too much sea, the tow- line was broken. No further communication was possible, and all the-paseengers remained on the Circassia. No news has been received of the Circassia since. A cablegram from New York states that she had on bolird five first class passengers, 22 second class, and SO steerage.

A FAMILIAR FIGURE AT FENCHURCH STREET. Every frequenter of Fenchurch-street Railway Station knows Lift-man Moase. a well-preserved white-haired man of 50 or 60, who strides along with a hundred weight on his shoulders as cheerily M < mere hobbledehoy. He found time to talk to a re- It Can now carry a h undredweight." porter, who congratu- lated the burly official on his overflowing vitality. What have you done with your cough, though?" asked the newspaper man. Given it the sack," was the response. I shall be glad to learn bow yon man- aged iv." Yes. It was hang- ing about me for along time, and such a pain between my shoulders that. I could hardly I walk. I went to more than one gocd doctor, and took their physic, but no use, no use." "Then how did von get well ?" "As easy as possible. My daughter was read- ing the paper one night, and flhe ""V8 Father. why don't you try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale I People?" Well, as tbe doctors were not curing me, I said to her, get me a box, uiy giri, and she did and I took 'em." "Just so," said tbe reporter, with a wink; "bat haven't I read that story before ?" Very likely but I'm telling you what happened to me. Why, sir, I used to puff and pant up the stairs at the station with a twenty-pound parcel, and stop in the middle and gasp and cough now I can carry a hundredweight, and never reM till I get to tbe top. I feel as I did in my %ouog days; I'm 20 years younger than I was before I took t be Pills. Oh they're a wonderful medicine, and I spenk as I find. I'm not the only one who's had benefit. My son was so ill he could hardly eat his food. I got him to try a box four days after, be was cured of his indiges- tion. and has had nothing the matter since." Other sufferers from asthma and coughs have had occasion to bless the narDe of the remedy extolled by Mr. Moase. Half the time, a congh clings to a man from the lack of strength to throw it off. Sir Morell Mackenzie declared asthma to be a nervous ailment,; and certainly asthma has been cured repeatedly by this great nerve medicine, Dr. Williams' Pink P Ua. Other chest and breath disorders (including consump- tion) and all nervous troubles, snch as neuralgia, scia- tica, female ills, St. Vitus'dance, nervous exhaustion, and (effects of the last when neglected) paralvsis and locomotor ataxy, are being cured every day by the same remedy, which acts on the nerves and through tbe blood, thus coring also rheumatism, heart palpitatioif, muscular weak- ness and anaemia. It is important to avoid the too common error of accepting imitations of tbe trne pills, falsely represented just as good nothing is just as good the package must, have Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People on it, in full, and in case of doubs it is bet ter to send direct to Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Holborn-viaduct, London, E.C., than to take a substitute. Enclose 2s. 9d. for one box, 13s. 9d. for six-whieh is one box in." People whose blood is poor, who are thin, breathless, weak, antcuiic, pale, and need a tonic, should try these Pills. Ore box will show their valne.

KILLED BY AN EXPRESS. HOW A CHATHAM PLATE-LAYER MET AN AWFUL DEATH. | Mr. W. T. Harris, county coroner, held an inquest at Chatham touching the death of Albert Thomas Austin, a platelayer, in the employ of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, who was knockcd (lown and killed by an express train. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased did not notice tbe approach of the up- express from Dover while he was stepping out of the way of a down goods train. The express engine struck him and hurled him against the goods trucks*. His right arm was cut off, and his head terribly injured, and death must have been instantaneous. — The driver of the express told the jury that his whistle was open at the time of the accident.—The Coroner remarked that he often shuddered to see the terrible risk run by plate- layers, who moved aside from an approaching train with the utmost coolness. It was often mar- vellous how they escaped. He supposed it was an illustration of the copy-book adage, "Familiarity breeds contempt."—Mr. James Burrell, a juryman, living near the Chatham Tunnel, complained that some drivers did not sound their whistles.—Mr. Herbert Grove, solicitor, promised to represent the matter to the authorities..A verdict of "Acci- dental death was returned.

DISASTER TO A FISHING FLEET. 28 LIVES LOST. The large fleet of vessels engaged in the cod fishery have just returned to Dunkirk. The season has been the most disastrous known for many years.

Brooker, C.B., of Blackheath, whose dead body was found on St. Paul's Cray Common. — Miss Agnea Brooker identified the body as that of her sister. She said that in 1894 the deceased su tiered from a very severe attack of infiu^sa, and ever since that date had not been quite right, sue left her home at Blackheatb a few days ago with her bicycle, saying she was going to visit some iriends, and would be back to tea. She did not, however, return. -Walter Brougham, a painter, of Chislehurst, stated that he found 'the body on St. Paul's Cray Common, and by her side were a bottle and a small glass.—William Forrester, chemist's assis- tant, of Blackheath, stated that about a week ago he served the deceased with a small bottle of carbolic acid.—Miss Freese, ot Chislehurst, a friend of the deceased. -id she received the following letter, which was in the deceased's hand- writing:—"I have left cue bike at Mottingham. No blame to Aggie. It's all my own fault. You will find me Bear the woods where we first went, for a ride. Good-bye. "-Dr. Hamper having stated that death was due to poisoning liy carbolic acid, the jury returned a verdict of "Sui'-ide during temporary insanity."

THE TRAIN TRAGEDY. THE POINTS THE NORTHAMPTON POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING. During the past few days untiring efforts have been made to find the owner of the gentleman's umbrella which was found in the wmpirtment which Mrs. Bryan had ocoupied. On Monday Inspector Smart, of the London and North- Western detective staff, took the umbrella to Eastbourne, while inquiries have been made around Huntingdon with a view to whether the owner resided in that part of the country. Whether the efforts have been rewarded cannot be stated. It has been ascertained that the young man described as Hal" saw Mrs. Bryan in London on the mght of her departure, and accompanied her to Eiston. It is believed that leaving the tram hurriedly be forgot to take with him his umbrella. Inspector Smart is supposed to have gone to Cheshire to interview relatives and other fnends of Mrs. Bryan. It is stated that the young man « lv.se namehas been mentioned in connection with that of Mre. Bryan met with a serious bicvcle accident near his home in Huntingdonshire. He was riding a bicycle when a dog crossed the road, causing hi:n to run into another cyclist. He fell on is e badly cut his face and hands, necessitating medical attendance.

A NEW TERROR. CHILDREN" BORROWED FOR EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES. Kidnapping and body-snatching are ancient pastimes, but baby-borrowing for purposes of incn- bation is an up-to-date industry in which it seems quite a brisk business is proceeding in London. A note of warning to parents and guardians and other custodians is sounded by the directors of the Infant Incubators at Eart's court, who state that in consequence of the success of their institution, various persons are calling upon, and writing to, members of the medical profession, hospitals, and infirmaries, asking for the loan of children to experiment with." If this be true, then a new terror has arisen in the land where the plausible fraud fattens on credulity. The hospitals and infirmaries may be expected to take care of them- selves and the children placed in their care, but for the suburban matron the new industry opens up an appalling prospect of morning calls from gentlemen in search of infants for experimental pur- poses. However, it should not be forgotten that in some quarters the incubator will be hailed with delight, and that in many instances the poor little incubus will be readily sent to the incubator.
