LONDON GOSSIP. The pages of the Registrar-General's report dealing with the death rate can scarcely be regarded as cheerful liter- ature, but on his remarks on last year, which are just published, the official who notes our entrances and our exits makes a very important and interesting state- ment. He points out that the mean annual death rate in the first eight years of the current decennium was 2 3 below the rate in the preceding ten years. This remark- able decline the Registrar-General points out, implies that more than half-a-million persons in England and Wales were alive at the end of 1888 whose deaths would have been recorded had the rate of mortality equalled that of the previous ten years. This is a wonderful testi- mony to the power of sanitary legislation, and should be an incentive to the near County Councils. Better cloth- iM food, and houses have had much to do with this improvement, and Liberal legislation may surely claim some important share in the work. It is reported, on what appears to be good authority that one of the chief railway companies is seriously considering the advisability of following the example set by the Midland, and abolishing second-class carriages. The number of people who travel second-class is a gradually diminishing quantity, and it is thought that by a re-arrangement of first-fares a great saving CAn be effected on the rolling stock, and that the making up of trains can be greatly simplified. The matter may not come to anything just at present, for the railway director as a rule, is a very conservative body; but the fact that the question is being considered shows that some alteration in the present system seems desirable. Not only in Yorkshire and Ireland, but in London society, considerable interest is felt in the future Lord Ashtown, whose coming-of-age was celebrated on Satur. day. LordAshtown. it is well-known, succeeds to an immense fortune, and is understood to be the ricneit ml\n in the peerage of Ireland. The late peer, it is stated, left over a million of money, and the landed estates pro- duce between £ 30,000 andC40,000 a year. His successor will therefore be regarded by matoh-uiaking mammM as a great catch. The Lord Mayor has intimated that something might be done by the Fruiterers' Company to restore the system of fruit-growing in this country, and he has sug- gested that if they had not the necessary means, they -should apply to some of the richer companies for help. He has offered the uso of the Mansion House, and pro- Imised to throw himself heart and soul into the work if the company are willing to take it up. The master on behalf of the court has acoopted the Lord Mayor's generous offer. Quite a romantic story comes from Amorica about the projected marriage between Mr Coates, a youthful member of the Paiuiey cotton manufacturing firm, and Miss Clark, the daughter of the house equally well known in the same business across the Atlantic. It seems that for years a keen and bitter rivalry has existed between the firms, till it occurred to Mr Coates to send an ambas- sador to America to see whether some friendly compromise could not be arranged. And it was-to such good pur- pose that the wedding is expected to take place in June. Siuce the passage of the stringent liquor law in Ver- mont aloon-keev.rs there have been seeking some mode of revenge, and those at Burlington believe they have found one. Tney propose to resurrect all laws enabling them to create a state of stern Purisanic rule. They say they will top the running of horse carl" on Sunday, close livery stables, and, in short, do away with all Sunday travelling, "except from necessity or from charity."

GOUT.—Rightly or wrongly the Medical Profession eem to be pretty well agreed that where stimulant, are necessary the best drink for those who suffers from or are threatened with gout, is good Whisky, thoroughly matured and plentifully diluted with some reliable mineral or potass water. This will go a lung way to explain not only the popularity of the article named, and itp increased consumption, but also the great competiti 'n which exists amongst the principal Wine Merchants in the sale of Whisky. As aa illus- tration of the keeimefs of this competition we may state that one of the largest and best-known firrn-W. & A. Gilbey-Wely purchased one of the celebrated Scotch Distilleries in the Glenlivet district named Glen-Spey,so as to acquire the exclusive distillatIOn and sale of this article direct from the distillery through their various depots. Fortunately the public, as usual, are the gainers by this race" for trade, for certainly none but reliable Sbrands now find purchasers. Our attention has been called to this fact on the ground that medical men are particularly interested in knowing what brand to recommend to their patients as supplying an alcoholic beverage which fulfils the above necessary conditions under the guarantee of a reliable house. Whisky and Potass, however,* although they may constitute the best drink for thefgouty will not cure gout, and it yet remains for science to find a remedy for that once fashionable but now very universal malady—indeed acidity of the blood is beyond all doubt the illness of the Present generation, and must result in some way from ( 'Oui prtisent mode of living.—Medical Press, Sept. 26th, j 888.

A Jury in the Queen's Bench Division on Monday awarded a lamp-cleaner named Smith three hundred and fifty pounds damages from the Whitechapel Board of Works for injuries sustained in falling from a ladder throuph the breaking of the arm of a lanrm-post. The Court of Appeal on Thursday, upheld a decision that the Justices of the county of Lancaster were asses- sable to the income tax on those portions of their lunatic asylums that were occupied by the medical superinten- dent, chaplain, clerks, and treasurer. It was stated that the question involved the assessment of all the lunatic asvlums throughout the country. A terrible accident occurred at Derby on Sunday night. During the service at the Salvation Army barracks the gale blew off the roof, which fell inside, where 200 people were assembled. The place then became on fire. One boy has been brought out dead and several injured, and it is reported that another body is in the debris. The annual Caledonian ball was held at the Liverpool Town Hall on Monday night. Amongst the visitors were MrT. W. Ellwood, a merchant, aged 3S years, who, baving,-ngaged ;n a dance, was walking into another room when he suddenly fell to the ground. He was removed to the steward's room, where life was found to be extinct. A Keighley schoolboy named John Thomas Peel has received an unexpected reward. During an examination the Inspector asked what St Helens was celebrated for, and the lad promptly replied Beecham H pills, sir." Mr. Beecham has made this the subject of many illustrated advertisements, and last week forwarded to the school- master a valuable lever watch for presentation to the boy in presence of his school. Air Hunter, M.P., has prepared a bill for the amend- ment of the Divorce Acts. The main object of this measure is to put the two sexes on a footing of perfect equality so far ast the right to divorce is concerned, and thus, in effect to assimilate the law of England and Scot- land. The bill will also give the County Court judges jurisdiction in the matter of divorce and judicial separa- tion, and thus make those remedies more accessible to the working classes in case of need. The Rev Chancellor Espin, presiding at the Liverpool Consistory Court, ori Tuesday, called attention to the fact that cases had been brought before him in which incumbents and churchwardens had sold burial spaces not immediately required for the purposes of burial. Such a sale, he said, was illegal and invalid, and only new incumbent going into a parish who found that a space in his churchyard had been so disposed of by his predecessor would be justified in treating the space as if no sale had taken place. The only legal way of procuring a church- yard grave space in perpetuity was by faculty. The Lord Mayor had an interview on Tuesday, with the Education Committee of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, in reference to teaching the elements of agricultural chemistry and argricultural science in all rural schools. He suggested that these studies should be "sxtra subjects and that grants should be made for pro- ficiency in them by the Science and Art Department. The Committee, over which Mr J. Dent-Dent presided, passed a resolution to specially consider the proposal at their next meeting. The Board of Trade have made an order, under the Railway and Canal Traffic Act of last session, to the effect that, where a Railway Company intend to increase any toll, rate, or charge published in the books required to be kept by the Company for public inspection, notice of the intended increase shall, not less than fourteen days before the date on which the increased toll, rate, or charge is to take effect, be published once, at least, in a loal newspaper, and be printod in largo type, and kept posted for not lees than twenty-eight days in a conspicuous place in each of the stations on the Company's Railway the traffic at or between which is subject to the said toll, rate or charge. At Ringwood County Court, near Bournemouth, on Friday, James Ayles, a farmer of Ringwood, sued the conservators of the Avon If ishery for;234 damages, caused to crops in August last, thiough defendants placing piles in the river, so that it caused an obstruction, and the water overflowed on to the plaintiff's meadow, damaging crops. Many witnesses were examined, and the Court was crowded, it being regarded as a test case against the Avon and Stour Board of Conservators. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. Robert James Powell Lloyd was summoned at Liver- pool, on Friday,* at the instance of the Law Society, for acting as a solicitor without a certificate. The offence was admitted, and it was stated for the defendant that he had passed his examinations, and was a qualified solicitor, but had been unable through poverty to pay the usual fees before being placed on the roll. It was proved that the defendant had been convicted previously of a similar offence and fined 25. A similar penalty was now imposed. The proposed amalgamation of Manchester and Salford was on Thursday considered by the Manchester Town Council. The Council unanimously adopted a committee's report, in which amalgamation was advocated, on the grounds that it would secure advantages in respect of administration and sanitation, the successful develop- ment of the new port which ths ship canal will create, and enhance the position and prestige of the city. The Rev Father M'Fadden was arrested at Gweedore on Sunday, after conducting Divine service. A police inspector who took part iu the arrest was atoned by the mob, and was so severely injured that he died shortly afterwards. Father McFadden reached Letterkenriy on a car at two o'clock on Monday, on his way to London- derry. He was escorted by the police and a detachment of the 60th Rifles, the latter carrying fixed bayonets. A large and expectant assembly cheered the rev. prisoner, and BO intense was the enthusiasm displayed by the townspeople that the Rifles deemed necessary to drive them back with fixed bayonets at the double. Father McFadden was taken to the police barracks, and thence to the railway station, where he was placed in a special train. Soon after six o'clock on Tuesday morning a tre- mendous cavity opened in the main road from Northwich to Winsford, immediately opposite the Bridge Inn, and almost in the centre of the town. At the time few persons were about, but a young man who was passing narrowly escaped being engulfed. The Bridge Inn, which loans considerably towards the roadway, is in a dangerous condition, the ground all round it being oracked, while the footpath in front shows a wide gap. t The fissure in the road, which was 44ft. wide at first, continues to extend, and is over 20ft. deep. The gas and water mains are severed, and traffic is diverted over a very oircui "ous route. Robert Brown, a cattle dealer, living in Shoreditcht was, at Chester, on Saturday, fined 40s. and costs, for attempting to defraud the North-Western Railway Company. He obtained another dealer's ticket from Chester to North Wall, and starting from Euston took a ticket to Willesden. He was followed by a London detective employed by the Company, and was seen to fet out at Rugby. When the tickets were collected, e went across to the refreshment-room, and just as the train was moving off leaped in. The detective jumped into another carriage, and when the train stopped at Crewe saw the man get out with a couple of others, and remain on the platform during the time the tickets were being clipped. They all got into the train afterwards, and proceeded to Chester. Here the detective found two men only in the carriage, and they had a coat thrown across, so as to cover both their knees. The prisoner was discovered crouching down under the coat. He was taken into custody, and fined as stated. A grain-laden ship, from New Zealand for London named Killochan was off Dungeness on Sunday evening, when she was run into by the Nereid, a steam collier from Newcastle. The vessel sank within two minutes, and the steamer foundered a few minutes later. Some of the Nereid's crew put off in their boat. A. tug from London named the Red Rose had been attending the Killochan in the hope of an engagement, and her boat saved all the men who managed to keep afloat on wreckage from their ship, and the occupants of the Nereid. Twenty-four men are missing from the two vessels, and are believed to be drowned. The inquest on the body of the boy John Gill was resumed on Monday morning at Bradford. Mr Woltenden by whom Barret was employed, stated that the stable keys were in Barrett's possession, and it was his duty to be there at half-past six a. m. He was not aware that anybody had duties in the stable requiring him to be there between two and three in the morning. Other evidence having been given similar to that produced before the magistrates, tht coroner summed up, occupying nearly three hours. The jury, aftor an hour's deliberation returned into court, twelve out of the fourteen finding a verdict of Wilful murder" against Barrett. The Inland Revenue Department at Somerset House received in the mouth of January 16.3371, from the stamp tax on new limite.d liability companies. There were over 193 cempanies, representing an aggregate capital of 1G,9!iOl., which is far above the average In the month of November the respective figures were 140 companies, with an aggregate capital of lq,337,985?.. on which the stamp tax was 1,:3381. and in December lfil companies, with an aggregate capital of on which the stamp taK was 12,333/. It v.'ill thus be seen that for the three months ending Jan. 31 the total capital amounted to the sum of 44,036,96^ ou which the stamp tax was 44,0081., and the number of cases was 494.

SUICIDE OF PRINCE RUDOLPH. After the postmortem examination on Thursday night the Emperor's councillors prayed him to permit the publication of the true story of his son's death, and his Majesty, after hesitating with natural reluctance for a while, finally gave his consent. An otiicial ver- sion was accordingly drawn up and communicated to the Press bureau, whence it was communicated to the official Willer Zeitung. It seems that the Prince obtained little sleep during the night, and it is even doubtful whether he went to bed at all. At any rate, a light burned in his bed- chamber all through the night. At half-past six on Thursday morning the chief valet, Loschek,who was on duty alone in an ante-chamber, was aroused by the opening of the door leading into the Prince's bedroom. The Prince appeared at the door, clad in his dressing gown and, addressing Loschek in his usual tone, ordered him to give instructions to the people in charge of the stables to get ready a carriage. There was no necessity for the Prince to give such an order, as the carriage would have been ready at eight o'clock in pursuance of previous instructions. There is no doubt that the Prince's object was to get Loschek temporarily out of the way, and that he had at that hour completed his letter writing and other arrangements preparatory to committing the fatal deed. When Loschek had left on his errand there were no persons within hearing of the Prince's chamber. The Prince then closed, locked, and bolted the door, took off his dresking gown and retired to his bed. At that moment it was quite dark outside, but a candle was stili alight in the bedroom. The fatal shot must have been fired between twenty minutes to seven and seven o'clock because Loschek returned to the chamber at seven o'clock, and remained there, expecting every minute to be called to assist the Prince in his toilette. As breakfast time drew near the valet began to wonder at his master's silence. Finally, knowing that the Prince had arranged to go out with a shooting party, Loschek ventured to knock at the door. Re- ceiving no answer, he became thoroughly alarmed, and sought assistance. He found Count Hoyas and Prince Phillip of Coburg, who had come down from Vienna specially to take part in the day's sport. They had begun to get impatient at the unusual delay, but they were not at first deposed to share the valet's fears, believing rather that the Prince had fallen into a deep slumber, as he did in the early hours of the morning after a restless night. They, therefore, waited a little longer, and then went upstairs. Both listened for a while, but hearing ¡ no sound which would indicate that the Prince was about, they knocked loudly on the door. Finally, they forced the door and entered the room, where a terrible spectacle met their frightened eyes. The room was not in disorder, but upon the bed lay the Crown Prince, quite dead. From the mouth, which was a little open, oozed partly congealed blood, and the right hand and arm were hanging out of the bed. The blood in the mouth suggested to the observers the idea that the Prince had burst a blood vessel. They were too frightened to investigate further, even had they not known that it would be contrary to rigid etiquette to meddle in any- way with the body or with anything in the room. All left the chamber. After a hurried consultation Count. Hoyas started for Vienna to convey the news to the Emperor. Meanwhile, Prince Phillip of Coburg re-fastened the door, enjoined the servants to secrecy, and waited in the next room for the arrival of the Court officials and physicians, whom he knew would We speedily dis- patched from Vienna. The first to arrive was Dr Widerhofer, the well- known Viennese professor and Court physician. He was followed almost immediately by the Court Chamberlain and other officials belonging to the Imperial Household. The door of the Prince's room was opened in their presence. Dr Widerhofer at once went to the bedside and examined the body. He found that a bullet had gone clean through the skull. The revolver had evidently been grasped in the right hand and the muzzle pressed close against the rigtrt temple. The combined effects of the explosion and the bullet had caused a terrible wound, which, by the way, it is impossible could have escaped the notice of Prince Philip and Count Hoyae. Death must have been instantaneous. The most casual-observer could have no need to seek for its cause. Upon the floor, where it had dropped from the dead man's hand, was a six chambered revolver. Upon the table were several letters addressed in the Prince's handwriting to the Empress and other members of the Imperial Family, and to Harr Szoegyenyi, chief of a section in the Foreign Office, who has long enjoyed the complete confidence of his Royal Highness. Herr Szoegyenyi is reminded that he had undertaken the settlement of the Prince's affairs in the event of his death. This arrangement was made two years ago, and Herr Szoegyenyi was then fully informed of the dispositions which the Prince desired should be made with his property. In this letter not a word is said of the Prince's intention to commit suicide. But it is stated that the letter was somewhat incoherent in manner, and that the most of the Crown Prince's correspondence has of late betrayed con- siderable mental excitement. The will of the late Crown Prince was opened in the presence of a Special, Commission composed of high Court and Government officials. It is dated 1886, and gives to the Crown Princess Stephanie the use for life of the whole of his property, which at her death is to go to bit daughter, the little Princess Elizabeth. Herr Szoegyenyi is appointed chief executor, and is charged specially with the duty of putting in order the papers, private and public, of the deceased. It is understood that, except the small estates at Meierling and the Island of Lacroma, the property is entirely personal. The post-mortem examination of the remains of the late Prince took place on Thursday night, in the presence of a Court commission. The examination laeted nearly three hours, and at its conclusion the operating surgeons drew up a report, signed by them and the chief officials. The report will be deposited in the Imperial archives, and will not, it is believed, be previously made publie. At half-past on* o'clock on Friday morning the body having been partly embalmed, was re-dressed and re- coffined, and taken into the great diniug-hall of the Hofbnrg, The preparations for the funeral continue. It has been finally determined that only members of the Imperial Family shall attend. SUICIDE OF A BARONESS. A great sensation has been caused at Vienna by the death of a beautiful young lady, a baroness. Although the event occurred during Tuesday night (the night of Prince Rudolph's death), it was not known until Sunday. The young victim took poison, but not in her father's house nor in Vienna, but at Meyerling, where the Crown Prince committed suicide. The two acts aeem to have been almost simultaneous. ANOTHER ROMANTIC STORY. One story (says the Berlin correspondent of the Daily NtfJJS) is that the Crown Prince was deeply in love with a young unmarried lady of the aristocracy, and that his love was returned, that stormy scenes ensued between the Crown Prince and his parents, and also an inter- view between the Prince and two relatives of the lady, and that he considered death as the only way of escape consistent with honour.

WHY HE COMMITTED SUICIDE. A Brussels correspondent writes :—I must send yon the version current here in the inner circle of the Belgian Court of the painful event which has cast such a shadow on the life of our beloved Princess, the youth- ful widow of the late Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria. That the Crown Prince died by his own hand is not doubted, but it is stated by:persons of the highest rank that he lost his life in what is known in Eastern Europe as an American duel. A grave domestic scan- dal in the family of an Austrian nobleman of the first position some time ago led to a correspondence between a son of that personage and the Crown Prince, which ended in an agreement to settle an unappeasable quarrel by an appeal to the abitrament of chance-the loser to take his own life at a determined date. The Crown Prince lost by the dice, and for the labt three inonthp he had been contemplating the fearful step now taken. This explains the arrangements made with Herr Von Szoegenyi at Pesth for the care of his Imperial Highness's papers, the anxious and careworn look and the nervous excitement observed in him for weeks past and the singular last journey in a hired vehicle to Meirerling. It is believed that his purpose and its cause were made known by him to his Imperial mother in a letter, and this it was caused her to exclaim when the dreadful news finally came. How shall I ever have courage to tell his father all." My informant has no doubt of the substantial truth of this terrible story, and I need not say that it deepens here the intense distress caused by the permature death of a Prince, who, if he had faults, had also a rare and lofty mind. The Brussels correspondent of the Daily Chronicle telegraphs Information has reached me by letter from Vienna giving what my correspondent declares to be the real circumstances of the death of the Crown Prince Rudolph. The Crown Prince, he declares, did I commit suicide, but in circumstances inexpressibly sadder than those which have been mentioned in the Vienna newspapers. With him on that fateful night was R young lady of great beauty belonging to a dis- tinguished Bohemian family, and to all seeming she and the Prince resolved to die together. Certain it Is, says my informant, that when his door was burst open by Prince Phillippe of Coburg and Count Hoyes the dead bodies of both met their view, the two lives having been destroyed by the same weapon, and it ia supposed that the Crown Prince first took his com- panion's life and afterwards committed suicide. The body of the unfortunate young lady is said to have been immediately, but secretly, conveyed to the Beat of her family in Bohemia. The remains of; Prince Rudolph were interred on Monday in the vaults of the Capuchin Church, Vienna. The weather was bitterly cold, but the day was bright. Soldiers occupied the line of route, and the only places for sightseors were the windows of the houses and a stand erected on the site of the Burg Theatre. The funeral cortege was very simple. On the oak coffin were placed three wreathes, andjthe black hearse was drawn by six white horses. At the Augustine Church the, procession was joined by the Ministers of State, the higher State officials, and others. It then went on to the Church of Capuchins, where, erected on a dais near the high altar, Avere placed chairs for the Emperor and many members of the Imperial family. Amongst the British present were representatives of the Queen and the Prince of Wales. Outside the church was a remarkable gather- ing, iucluding some Hungarian magnates, who wore their magnificent national costume. ——- -0

GOVERNMENT ATROCITIES IN IRELAND. Mr John Dillon, who was to have left London for Australia on Saturday, has forfeited his passage money, and on Monday night left the Hotel Victoria for Dublin. At a meeting of the London Cymru Fydd Society the following resolution was passed:—"That this annual meeting of the members of the Cymru Fydd Society condemns the harsh and brutal treatment to which Mr William O'Brien and other members of Parliament are subjected, and admires and sympathises with the men who are willing to make such sacrifices for their native land." About fifty men of the 1st Battalion, Manchester Regiment, from Haulbowline, were drawn upon the platform to proceed by the 11.30 a.m. train tb Tipperary, when one, raising his cap, called for Three cheers for William O'Brien." The entire detachment responded by waving their caps and cheering three times lustily. The officers attampted to check the men, but without effect. Among the gentlemen who have signified their readinesa to join in an appeal for the formation of a committee of national protest against the prison treat- meat of Mr William 0 Brien are the Earl of Ashburn- bam, the Dean of Manchester, the Dean of Winchester, Lord Monkswell, Canon Wilberforce, Mr Oacar Brown- ing, the Rev Slopford Brooke, Mr Frederic Harrison, the Rev Hugh Price Hughes, the Bishop of Nottingham, Mr Samuel Plimsoll, and Miss Jane Cobden. Mr Percy Bunting, 11, Endsleigh Gardens, London, is the secretary. Mr Kilbride, M.P., was arrested at Leicester on Monday night on a warrant for offences under the Climes Act. Head Constable Curly, of the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve, arrived on Sunday with a warrant, and placed himself iu communication with the local police. Mr Kilbride was entertained on Monday night at a banquet at Leicester Liberal Club, and soon afterwards addressed a meeting of members. He was apprehended immediately at the close of the proceed- ings. An arrangement had been made with the authorities to avoid any disturbance, but a large crowd assembled, and when Mr Kilbride came out of the Liberal Cluto escorted by many of the members, includ- ing four borough justices who had taken part in the meeting, he was loudly cheered. Mr Kilbride was lodged at the Town Hall during the night, beiug pro- vided with a bed in the detectives' room. The following message has been dispatched to the Mayor of Manchester by the Liberals of Oswald- whistle, B. That this meeting of the Oswald- whistle Liberal Club heartily approves the aetion of the Mayor of Manchester in lodging Mr O'Brien in the Town Hall and not in a felon's cell. Your generous and patriotic conduct will meet with the appreciation of all fair-minded people, and we heartily beg to record our approval of your kind aad considerate action." A change took place on Tuesday in the treatment of Mr William O'Brien in Clonmel Jail. The honourable gentleman had his clothes restored to bim, and was removed to the hospital, where he stated to Alderman Hackatt he was quite comfortable, Mr O'Brien has been much annoyed by the statement of Mr Balfour on Saturday, alleging that he had refused to undergo medical examination, but the prison doctor has pro- mised to issue a contradiction.
