TERRIBLE LYDDITE ACCIDENT. THREE MEN KILLED. As the range officer at the Okehampton Artil- lery Camp was making his usual inspection on Tuesday of the practice ranges before the com- mencement of firing he discovered three dead bodies, fearfully shattered, evidently by lyddite. The remains were afterwards identified as being those of Sergeant Bleakley, R.F.A., Police-con- stable Hall, of the Devon Constabulary, stationed at Okehampton, and ex-Sergeant Vanstone, also of the Devon Constabulary, residing at Okehamp- ton. These men have been missing since Monday afternoon. Details that have been gathered show that ex-Sergeant Vanstone discovered the unex- ploded lyddite shell partially buried some few days ago, near Yestor, on Dartmoor, and with Sergeant Bleakley, R.A.. and Police COIItable Hall, visited the spot on Monday afternoon. Then they commenced to unearth the missile, and it is evident whilst they were doing this the catastro- phe occurred. Sergeant Yanstone was found with his hands blown off and a large wound in the stomach, but otherwise he had no inj ury and was quite recognisable. Police Constable Hall had his head and both arms BLOWN CLEAN AWAY FROM THE BODY, which in itself was badly shattered. Sergeant Bleakley, who belonged to the 96th Battery, and came from Preston, was blown to atoms, his scalp and hair being found near the scene of the disaster, and his foot some 70 yards away. It is only by the foot and boot that he can be identi- fied, other portions of his body being completely destroyed. From the appearances on the spot it is clear that Sergeant Bleakley was in the act of lifting the shell from the earth when the explosion took place, and this accounts for his being so com- pletely shattered. The shell is described as a 40- pounder blind lyddite. At the Royal Artillery Camp, at Okehampton. the same afternoon, Mr. Prickman (coroner), opened an inquest on the three men. Colonel Eustace represented the military authorities and Superintendent Egan appeared for the police authorities. Only medical evidence was given, and the bodies having been identified, the inquest was adjourned until Monday next.

TERRIBLE FALL OFF RHUDDLAN…
TERRIBLE FALL OFF RHUDDLAN CASTLE. A boy, aged 15, residing at Market Dravton, had a terrible fall off Rhuddlan Castle on Tuesday. The lad was climbing up one of the ivy-clad towers when he fell to the ground. Both arms were fractured, the left one so badly that amputation below the elbow was necessary. His head was badly injured, and he had sustained internal in- juries. He was conveyed to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Rhyl, where he lies in a precarious eon- ditition.

He had also to welcome them on behalf of the Admiralty, and to thank them for their good services in China. Later the Admiralty Lords inspected the ar- rangements that are being made at Portsmouth for experiments in coaling ships while under steam at sea. The coal is to be drawn from a collier towed astern by means of a cable railway

A FATAL MOSQUITO STING. A postman, of Crayford, Kent, was on August 3rd stung in the eye by a mosquito. Blood poison- ing was set up, and he was admitted into the hospital. The injured eye was subsequently re- moved, but the operation failed to save his life, juid after a week's unconsciouness he succumbed W fcheinjury.
FIRE AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
FIRE AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. On Tuesday a pressing call was received at the Westminster Fire Station for Buckingham Palace. A detachment of men started at once with a steamer, and others followed from Scotland Yard and Manchester Square. The flames had burst out from some untraced agency "in a loft over a barrack-room on the first floor," and were sub- dued after some joisting had been burned and cut. away.
A WELL-DESERVED PUNISHMENT.
A WELL-DESERVED PUNISHMENT. At Brentford, near London, on Tuesday, Joseph Cutting, against whom along list of convictions was proved of cruelty to animals, was sent to prison for nine months for cruelly illtreating a horse, the magistrate characterising the prisoner as inhuman in his manner towards the animals. The evidence showed that he beat a horse with an ash stick which was besmeared with blood whilst driving at a galloping pace, and that subse- quently he beat the horse again whilst it was standing still. The prisoner struggled fiercely with the officer who arrested him, and struck him several times, and the officer, to make him leave go, had to catch him by the neckerchief and bang his head against a wall.

REVOLT N A WORKHOUSE.
REVOLT N A WORKHOUSE. Mutiny broke out among the casuals in Dover workhouse on Tuesday. Its presence was indi- cated by the men lying on the floor instead of working. Hailed before the magistrates, seven of them alleged they were refused a bath, had to sleep on the asphalt, and did not get enough to eat. Casuals were so numerous in consequence of the approaching hop-picking, said the master, that baths were impossible, and beds insufficient in number. They were sent to prison for a week.

LONDON CORRESPONDENCE. 11
LONDON CORRESPONDENCE. 11 I hear that the executive committee of the Free Churches' Twentieth Temperance Crusade have now practically completed their arrangements for the propaganda, to commence next month, for the securing of one million pledges. Many pro- j vincial towns are making independent arrange- f ments, but in all centres of large population a series of demonstrations will be held. One of the best-known temperance orators in America, the Rev. Dr. Henry, of New York, and the Fisk Jubi- lee Singers, have been engaged for two months during the coming winter. There is reason to believe that an important an- nouncement will be made in the course of next month, either from here or Washington, regard- ing the Nicaragua Canal negotiations and Anglo- American relations generally. The negotiations, which have for some time been in progress, are ex- pected to reach an end before Lord Pauncefote's return to the States, and it is of interest to know that these negotiations were greatly facilitated by the recent visit to London of the Hon. W. S. Fielding, Canadian Finance Minister, and two of his Cabinet colleagues. M. M. # The repainting of the Tower Bridge has been taken in hand by the City Corporation. This gigantic structure seems to have puzzlied the firms tendering for the work, for the highest ten- der exceeded F-18,000, and the tender which has been accepted amounts only to £ 5,000. The mar- gin of difference arising on the same specifica- tion is curiously and inexplicably wide. As the work will occupy seven months it will he the spring of next year before it is completed. Hither- to it has been of it deep lake or maroon colour, but it is henceforth to be green, with panels of peacock blue. It will hardly surprise the English public that his Majesty is not going to sell Osborne, as rumour asserted he intended to do. The mansion has al- ready acquired some historical and family associa- tions which cannot fail to make itinteresting in the eyes of the Kingand his relatives, and it is safe to say that it would have cost them all a pang to see it pass into the hands of some ambitious millionaire. The other rumour that he intends to place it as a residence at the disposal of the heir to the Throne is one for which there may he no more foundation. However, it is satisfactory to think that some American syndicate will not have an opportunity of exploiting our poor island in the matter of its palaces. The hoppers' migration into Kent has already begun, and will be in full force this week. Before the week is over the London slums will have poured 60,000 men, women, and children into the pure air and beautiful surroundings of one of the gardens of England. They are a motley throng that swarm to the hopfields. From the stations at which the hoppers' trains will deposit them they will be conveyed to the hop grounds in wagons. Philanthropic friends have prepared some com- fortable provision for them, and the guardians most concerned have taken means to repress the loafer, who, during the picking season, has a relish for free quarters in the casual ward*- As a graceful compliment to the Queen-Consort Alexandra, the authorities at Earl's Court have de- cided that next year's exhibition shall be devoted to the arts and industries of Denmark, the land of her Majesty's birth. The practical support of the Danish Government has been asked, and from the latest information, will not be withheld. The scheme embraces many interesting illustrations of the social life of the Danfs, and a picturesque and important exhibition should result. It is par- ticularly appropriate that, in the year of the Coronation, the English should be given the in- sight into the work and habits of life of the in- dustrious, clever, and amiable people who sent us the beloved consort of King Edward VII. The Drury Lane report is a cheerful document, announcing as it does a dividend of 15 per cent. This amount might have been much less but for the prudent foresight of the company in having insured the life of her late Majesty for £3,nOf), The result was that when the theatre had to be closed in the midst of the pantomime season owing to her Majesty's death the insurance money paid for the loss sustained in the treasury. Another interesting item in the report is the an- nouncement that the Duke of Bedford has con- sented to a renewal of the lease of the theatre for 40 years without increase of rent. This is in con- sideration of the great expense the theatre has been put to in carrying out structural alterations demanded by the County Council. The River Thames Conservancy, like every pub- lic body, comes in for a good deal of hostile criticism. Its good deeds, however, are too frequently overlooked. It is greatly to the credit of the Conservators that during the last twelve months they have succeeded in very materially purifying the River Thames—a work towards which they had already ac- complished much. Within the last year no fewer than 32 towns and villages, with a popu- lation of over 80,000 people, have diverted their sewage from the river. In addition to this. pressure has been brought to bear upon several local authorities which have not been properly I treating their sewage before running it into the river, and in sixteen cases legal proceedings had to be resorted to. Only a few years ago the River Thames threatened to become so foul that to walk by its side would be impossible. It is to be hoped the Thames Conservators will prose- cute to a satisfactory conclusion the work they have so well commenced. <1- The arrival of the Prussian Crown Prince in London was only unexpected as regards the general public. The visit had been arranged some time, and was always intended to be of a strictly private character. It was arranged for a time when the King and Queen would be absent from England, and which would thus enable the privacy of the visit to be maintained. Consequently, the melancholy death of his Royal Highness's grandmother, the Empress Frederick, has in no way affected the arrangements for the visit. We have been too much accustomed in England to think of the Prince as a boy, but he is now nineteen and manly for his years. He is spirited and an ardent sportsman, whence his great desire, now to be achieved, to shoot grouse on tho Scotch moors. The Prince has some of the boyish charms of modesty and self-restraint which characterised the late Emperor Frederick when he also was Crown Prince and 19 and came to court the Princess Royal. it The second-hand booksellers of London are passing through it harassing time. In a few days Booksellers' Row will be a thing of the past, and already most of the familiar dealers of that thoroughfare have removed their business premises elsewhere. A considerable number of them have secured shops either in Charing Cross Road, which was already becoming a favourite second-hand book-dealers' thoroughfare, or in its immediate vicinity. But they are not to be allowed to carry on theirbusinessunderquitethe same conditions that prevailed in Booksellers' How. There an attractive table of books was always open to inspection of passers by outside tho shop. Twelve or fifteen years ago Mr Gladstone, whenever he was out of Office, and sometimes, indeed, when he was bur- dened with the affairs of State, might be seen standing at these open bookstalls eagerly examin- ing their contents. Thomas Babington Macaulay and a hundred and one literary celebrities of the past and present day have been eager patrons of these stalls; but the Westminster City Council has intimated to the booksellers in Charing Cross Road that they must not display books if the shelves infringe at all on the pavement. It is a necessary precaution in a busy thoroughfare, but it is a considerable break to former customs.

FWHAT KEPT YEZ ? "—Doolin was a track- walker on the Erie Railroad, in America. He at- tended a wake one day, shortly before it was time for him to go on duty, with the lamentable result that early in the evening he seemed ambitious to walk on both sides of the track at once. The Thunderbolt" express was due to pass Haskell Road at 8-45. At that time Doolin reached the road, but the train did not appear. She was still invisible at 9-0, and Doolin began to worry about her. When she was twenty minutes late, he could control his anxiety no longer, and began walking the track towards her as fast as he could in his un- steady condition. The Thunderbolt," meantime, was flying along at unusual speed. She haft been delayed by a trifling wreck, and the engineer was making up lost time. Suddenly a lantern whirled like a giant pin-wheel in the gloom far down the track. The engineer's face whitened; the brakes ground into the complaining wheels; the engine rocked and trembled; passengers lurched in their seats; and with hiss of air the Thunderbolt" stopped. Dropping from his cab, the trembling engineer ran to where Doolin stood. What's— the matter ?" he gaspeJ. Ye re late," said Doolin.

I was shaved this morning by a man who really is, I suppose, a little above the ordinary barber. I know of my own knowledge that he took a double First Class at Oxford that he studied in Heidelberg afterwards, and spent several years in other foreign educational centres. I know, also of my own knowledge, that he has contributed scientific articles to our best magazines, and has numbered among his intimate friends men of the highest social and scientific standing in Europe and America. And yet," soliloquised the savant, "he can't shave a man decently." "By Jove!" ex- claimed the young members, in astonishment. What is he a barber for, with all those accom- plishments ?" Oh, he isn't a barber," said the bookworm, yawning. You see. I shaved myself this morning."

Told by those who experienced them. I.-A Terrible Boiler Explosion. A MABViLiiOTTs escape fell to the lot of Miss White, now residing with her parents at Ormesby," Fawe-park-road, Putney. On a Sunday morning three years ago —viz., February 10th, 1895 (to quote from the Putney and Wandsworth Borough News) —" a loud explosion occurred in the kitchen of Ashwell-villa, St. John's-road East. A constable at once proceeded to the aid of those in the house. Upon entering the kitchen it was found that, Iwing to the prevalent frost, the boiler had exploded, wrecking the room and its Scene after the Explosion. contents, damaging the ceiling and walls. On the stairs near by, Miss White, aged twenty-four years (who was alone in the house, Mr. and Mrs. White having gone to chapel). was found lying in an exhausted and insensible condition. Dr. Wyman was called, and ordered her removal to the Westminster Hospital, where she was conveyed in a cab. She was admitted by the house surgeon, and was found to be Buffering from severe contusions and burns in the head and elsewhere, and from shock to the system. She was detained in the hospital." The explosion had, apparently, been one of exceptional severity. The wall which backed the stove was blown clean into the garden; the ceiling of the kitchen was stripped. In the scullery and larder the ceiling was also partially destroyed, the doors driven in, mantelpiece, shelves, chairs, table, crockery-in fact, everything in the room utterly wrecked, and the walls blackened with soot, steam and fire. The large kitchen table, which was over- turned on *)Ess White, had one leg wrenched off and another leg broken. A cat sleeping in a chair was instantly killed. Miss White's escape from death certainly appears miraculous. This explosion is still talked of in Putney. A few days ago Miss White was pointed out to a newspaper man, to whom the account of her remarkable escape, with some very interesting after-develop- ments, was related. The reporter sub- sequently called and saw the young lady and her father. Mr. White is a pensioned police officer, and the family is both well known and highly respected in the locality. JS After Pleft the hospital," volunteered MisitJè, u I was prostrated with the shock to the system. In fact, I lay for weeks between life and death." What particular form did the illness take? aaked the reporter. She hoe always been more or less ill since shetllwas a child," answered the mother. "And as the result of this accident and the accompanying shock, she rapidly grew weaker and weaker. She was utterly depressed and so debilitated that she had to be assisted when she attempted to walk." The doctor was never out of the house, "*Mr. White said. She was | distressed by fearful indigestion after eating, had acute pains in the arms, legs, and back, and often fainted. It was a terrible time for me, I can tell you," continued the daughter. The doctors said I was anaBmic and I got so white I was almost afraid to look at my face in the glass. My mother and father and friends who came to see me said I should never be the same girl again, but you see they were happily mistaken." And the pressman found this to be true as he turned his eyes to the bright animated face of the speaker. "And to what do you attribute so complete a recovery ?" he asked. Well, I will tell you in my own way. I was sitting up ill in bed one morning reading the British Weekly, and I saw an account of the case of a young lady some- where in the country, whose sufferings seemed just like mine. I showed the paper to mother, and we decided to try the medicine that cured her—' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.' We got a box and I tried them. Gradu. ally I got better, giving up the doctor's medicine. oWe soon found that the Pills were doing me good. After taking the Pills I felt like another being. The pains began to be less severe, I was less irritable. Palpitation of the heart, which had been a very troublesome and alarming con- comitant of the illness, ceased. The change was simply wonderful, and I thank God I had noticed the advertisement in the British Weekly. To make a long story short, I got well, and now I am as strong and healthy as ever I was in my life." II I have often told her," interposed Mrs. White, "that she should write a testimonial to Dr. Willigras. I take the Pills myself." And so do I," said the father. U Since I got well," said Miss White, scores of my friends have taken them on my recommendation. I think it only right to let everybody know how much I owe to the Pills, and I don't mind if you put my experience io the papers, that other people who Buffer as I have may know of their great valua." The above statement can easily be verified. The Whites have resided in the neighbourhood of Putney over thirty years and are known as highly trust- worthy .and respectable people, and although havingthe strongest belief in the sincerity of the account given him, the reporter, by questioning a number of their friends and neighbours, received ample verification of the facts and statements mad* w "Miss White and her parents. 1
-...-I Have YOUhad a Narrow…
llm—A Hero of Sasakim ens! Alexandria* IT is true of many of our English villages at, though comparatively unknown in themselves, their products and manu- factures are used and appreciated in all parts of the world. Such a place is Wednesfield, near Wolverbampton-e denselypopulated,straggling vilJage. urbn i and smoky enough on the Wolverhamp- ton side, but on the other stretching away to the fringe of some very pretty green borderland. Its staple industry is steel. trap making-the rabbit pest in Australia providing a good market for this article. To trap making must be added key making as one of the industries that help to support the population of Wednesfield I could not help remarking the number of wearers of white aprons about tha main street of the village (writes a. Midland Weekly News reporter) as I strolled through it the othe.r evening. Not a few of the wage-earners were to be seen at the doors of thair cottages get- ting a breath of fresh air after tin laboursof tho day. My destination was the Pyls Cock Inn, one of the oldest public-houses in Wednesfield, which, as the genial landlord (Mr. John Willcox) informed me, had been in possession of the same family for over half a century. I in. quired for Mr Henry Peers., whom I had been told might be found there. Mr. Peers, however, was temporarily absent from the village, he having gons for a drive. In reply to an inquiring look I told ibe landlord that I had been informed that Mr. Peers had been ill. The landlord replied that Mr. Peers had been very ill, and said he looked like a dead man walking about the house. I gathered that Mr. Peers was an old pensioner, and, being determined to see him, revisited the inn on another evening, when he was sent for, and we were introduced to each other. Mr. Peers, with his bronzed, healthy. looking face, grey moustache and imperial, and decidedly soldierly appearance, was ready enough to chat. I first made him sketch his history and fight his battles over again. He is now fifty-three years of age, and has served twenty-three and a half years in the Iloyal Navy. He is a native of Wednesfield, having lived there all his lifetime, and worked at his trade as a keysmith, except when serving his Queen and country. He enlisted in the Royal Navy or the Marines in 18Gb. lie served on H.M.S. Penelope, under Admiral Seymour, at the bombardment of Alexandria, and in 1885 and 1886 was in Egypt fighting at Suakin against Osman Digna. He made no boast of it, but modestly told me when questioned that he holds a medal and bar for the bom. bardment of Alexandria and a bar for Suakin. At the close of the campaign he came home invalided, left the service, and returned to Wednesfield to take up his trade again. Three or four years ago he broke down in health, went into a hospital, and underwent an operation. His health, however, was not restored, and a doctor whom he consulted said he was suffering from a diseased stomach. I vomited everything I ate," said Mr. Peers, and lost weight, until I became like a shadow." He used to frighten me when he came into the house," remarked one of the persons who was listening to our con- versation. Mr. yPeers, continuing his story, said :— I bad had two doctors treating me when my brother first told me about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I bought a box at once, and commenced to take them. From that time I began to get better. Before I could not eat anv solid food, but after taking the Pills I began to eat and enjoy food." He added, with good humour, I can hardly satisfy my appetite now." Do you attribute your recovery entirely to Dr. Williams' Pills, Mr. Peers ? aiked the reporter. "Yes," he answered with confidence. I can now eat anything that is put before me. It used to make me gloomy when I saw other people eating and I could not. I never tasted bit of bread for a month or five weeks." Mr. Peers, continuing to chtit on, said that several villagers to whom he had recommended the Pills had taken them and been much benefited. While we were talking, a young Black Country lass passed the open window and was pointed to as one who had suffered and been oured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are obtainable of all chemists, and of Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, 46, Holborn-viaduct, London, at 2s. 9d. a box, or six boxes for 13s. 9d., but are genuine only with the '1 full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red on the pink wrapper. They are not like other medi cines, for their effects are permanent They act directly on the blood, and thus it is that they are so famous for the cure of indigestion, anaemia, consumption, rheumatism, scrofula, chronic erysipelas' general weakness, and to restore pale- and sallow complexions to the glow of health They are also a splendid nerve and spinal ] tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, Sti, Vitus' dance, and nervous headache.
