THE HORSFORTH MURDER.
THE HORSFORTH MURDER. Mrs. Turner, who is undergoing twelve months' imprisonment at Wakefield as an accessory after the fact to the Horsforth murder, has written a farewell letter to her son, as follows:—" Wakefield Prison, August 13th, 1891.—My dear, dear Lu,- With deepest love and sympathy I write these few lines. I felt that under the distressing cir- cumstances an interview between us would be very painful, and would be more than I could very well stand, and I also thought this decision would be in unison with your own feelings as well as with my own. I fear you have been uneasy on my account; but let me beg of you not to let any thought about me be any trouble to your mind, for I pray and feel that I shall be supported all through. I have not seen your sister since the trial, but have heard they have removed, so if you have not seen or heard from them, if you write you had better address to White Swan Yard. I hope very much to have a few lines from you. Now, my dear boy, let me beg of you to seek forgiveness from on High for all sins, and may God in His great mercy give you comfort and support, and grant that we may yet meet again where sin and sorrow never come is the daily, hourly prayer of your ever loving and affectionate mother, A. TURNER.—To Walter Lewis Turner." Turner has made a written statement dealing with the part he took in the murder, which is to be given to the Press on the eve of his execution.
A TERRIBLE WOMAN.
A TERRIBLE WOMAN. At the Westminster Police Court, Bessie Cartel, otherwise Moncrieff, a well-dressed weman of powerful build, was the other day led into court by stalwart policemen, struggling and cursing, to answer the charge—her forty-second appearance at this cour^of creating a disturbance at Knightsbrige whilst drunk.Shouting, the prisoner said, Yes, I am here again. Do what you like with me. You gave me three months last time, and you can make it what you like now."—As the constable was giving evidence she interrupted him by calling him a liar, and saying that he was making it hot" for her.—Mr. Sheil; Be qmet. Prisoner: I shan't.—I am in the habit of getting drunk, and I glory in it. If I could get four bottles of brandy I would drink the lot and settle myself this very day. I don't care what I do. The previous convictions were all for drink.— Vince, the gaoler, said the last time his worship sentenced her in April she was sent for three months as a disorderly person under the Vagrant Act.-Prisoner And a good job. Milbank is the (best place for me.—Mr. Sheil: Now you are com- mitted to the sessions with hard labour, to be sentenced as an incorrigible.- Prisoner was re- moved, making use of fearful language.
ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN.
ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN. The Irish mail train the other morning went off the rails when opposite the Marine-square. The metals were torn up, and the engine-driver, a letter-sorter, and several passengers received a severe shock. No serious injuries are reported. The carriages were scattered all over the line. As a consequence of the delay the mail steamers at Kingstown left nearly an hour after the usual time. The cause of the accident is unknown. In some quarters, however, it is attributed to the fact that the rear of the train was lighter than the first part, and that the carriages in the rear were thrown off the metals by the consequent oscillation.
■ TOPICS OF THE WEEK. .
■ TOPICS OF THE WEEK. FOREIGN languages are now taught in some of American cities by means of phonographic cylinders. Sets of these 9.I also supplied which tain a conversational course of French or Ger- Ja&n. each phrase numbered to correspond with its written characters in ft book which sfttves as a key to the sentences with which the cylinders are barged. In this way, ear and eye are simnltar:«- Mtly informed and the difficulties of pronuncia- tion conquered. THE town of Jeffersonville. Indiana, is a sort of Gretna Green on a huge scale for the ea-ecial Benefit of eloping couples from Ken1 nckj. In that Jown, it is said, hustling and rival hordes of fquires and dominies watch the stationssxnd pocr.ce ttpon every creature not positively known to be married already, drag them to their lairs, and tie the rosy knot. The awkward bumpkin need not lead the blushing lass from rectory to rectory. He is seized and hurried into a matrimonial pariour; and there married in a jiffy, often at cut rates (with a chromo thrown in), before witnesses kept constantly on tap, and prepared to swear to any- thing." It would be interesting to learn the average duration of the marriages thus contracted, and whether Jeffersonville affords equally easy opportunities for divorce. THE Secretary of State for War may fairly claim credit for much that has been done since he took office towards providing an adequate supply of horses for the army. A large numbec of horses have been registered; and in the event of a sudden mobilization the War Office would know exactly yhere to look for animals. Powers of compulsory purchase would also enable the authorities to buy op all horses now used for agricultural purposes. For the transport, no doubt, we need feel no anxiety; but it is different with the horses re- quired for the mounted branches of the service. Neither a cavalry nor a. battery horse can be trained in a day; and it is notorious that many, if not most, of our cavalry regiments are unaerhorsed. For a military show, or for the manoeuvres of the First Army Corps, we can find horses for the cavalry by transferring them from one regiment to another; but this pleasant little device will mot answer when war is declared. IF any weight is to be attached to the delibera- tions of the Hygienic Congress, we must now make"np our minds, once and fer all, that a daily dose of alcohol in one shape or another is rather a good thing for a man's constitution. No other conclusion can be drawn from Sir Dyce Duck- worth's paper, on the Relation of Alcoholism to Public Health; and Sir Joseph Fayrer. president of the Section of Preventive Medicine, agreed with him. This will hardly suit the advocate s of total abstinence and prohibition but they will find it difficult to upset a verdict pronounced on such high authority. And if no other result can be expected from this international assembly of medicine-men, it should be no mean benefit to the world at large to have a plain answer given to the fanatics and busybodies, as well as many well- meaning but mistaken people whose projects for social reform are based on quite the contrary assumption. The use of alcohol is beneficial; what we have to contend against is the abuse. THE natural bitterness of English holders of Argentine securities will perhaps be slightly molli- fied by the account of social life given by a Bueuos Ayres correspondent of tbe Standard. It had been supposed that the Argentine people were living riotously on borrowed money. But it seems that all classes of society there are pinched by the hard times and economizing their personal ex- penses; the once well-to-do putting down their horses and carriages and denying themselves rail- way tickets, while the working classes are on the border of destitution. The fact is. that in that over-capitalized country and in that forced civilization the stage of urban life hasbeen reached too soon—before the money has been scratched out of the soil to maintain a class of men and women about town. The smart folks are realiz- ing their position and thinking about reverting to the squirearchal life and to patriarchal simplicity. That would be wise, no doubt; but it would scarcely improve the chances of an early settle- ment of outstanding obligations. SIR E. WATKIN is at least an authority on rail- way subjects* and he gives some advice to the €k>vernment of India on this topic, both for the present time of famine and for future guidance. He asks why various systems of railway routes in the north should not be connected by interlinking routes to save transhipment. Even in a dreadfully pinched country lilfe India the cost of this im- provement in through communication need not give the Government many hours of uneasiness Sir Edward thinks that the whole system can be linked up into a continuously efficient system by the addition, at a cost of about £200,000, of about 120 miles of metre-gauge rail inside the existing tracks and on the. sleepers of the broad-gauge Systems." It is plain that if this scheme were put in force it would increase the value of the 3,765 miles of disconnected metre-gauge railway in operation. The small amount of expenditure would, in Sir Edward's opinion, be repaid in the first year of operation. Continuity of railway communication would also undoubtedly add to the security of the country in time of war. ATTENTION is rightly being drawn to the fact that whatever our sailors may be on board men- of-war, many of which are without masts and yards and for navigation purposes may simply be described as barges endowed with steam power, French sailors are of a different mettle. The French man-of-war's man is practically a well- trained sailor before he steps on board his ship. He has usually had his training all along the French coast as a fisherman's boy and a fisherman. He has had a year or two on the Newfoundland bank, and a few years as cabin lad on the fishing craft that put out from Boulogne, Dieppe, Cancale, St. Malo, or Brest, and beyond the knack of know- ing how to swing a cutlass or train a gun, he has nothing to learn in seamanship from the average officer. The recruiting of the French Navy is drawn from the maritime provinces, and it is a good system in a couatry that requires arbitrary service. Every fisherman on the Newfoundland Banks, or in the Bay of Granville or the Bay of the Cotes du Nord knows his work on a man-of- war at a moment's notice, and is equally handy in his proper vocation of catching fish. Five years or so of active service gives a young man a broad insight into the aspect of the world, and do not him rob of an attachment for home. It may con- sequently be taken for granted that every man on board a French man-of-war is a sailor. THE question has been asked, Why, not an Exhibition of Literature ?" We have had the Fisheries, the Inventories, the Healtheries, the Navalries, the Lageries—why cannot some other exhibitioner turn his attention to the Fourth Estate," and give us, say, "ThesBookeries," with the usual accompaniment of fairy lights and music. The easily accessible portions of the British Museum, are. the j\e>vtiagenb truly suggests, a trifle dull, and it holds that a successful literary exhibition might be run on the following lines :— The entire process of book and newspaper pro- duction might be graphically illustrated, always, of course, commencing with the literary part of it accomplished. Even modern realism could hardly arrange to exhibit the novelist at work; while the most personal of personal journalists would probably obiect to a self-advertisement of this kind. But the details of typography and the entire processes of printing anu bin,- ng might be adequately represented. oiking models of machinery for pnntillg all classes of work could have their place. The manufacture of paper could be adequately illustrated, and the many kindred industries given a place An exhibition of this sort would, of course, be incomplete unless it in- cluded a represeatation of the system by which literature is distributed, and if this portion of the undertaking was faithfully portrayed it would enlighten got only the general public but the large class of practical men as yet but partially acquainted with this branch of their business."

IMPORTANT NOTICE I THE Attention of the Public is hereby called to the unprincipled and dishonest attempts of some Tradesmen to substitute preparations for GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS, of which Mr. Gwilym Evans is th& sole inventor and patentee. These men have no brains to invent, but are mean and cunning enough to try to copy the inventions of others, and this they do as far as they think the law will permit. Now, the men who try to substitute a worthless, and per- haps injurious medicinal preparation for another of acknowledged repute and efficacy, are deliberately trying not only to injure and defraud the proprietors of the medicine, but also to deceive and eheat their customers; and if they are capable of resorting to such mean and base practices in a ease of this sort, it is but fair to infer that they will try to deceive their customers in all other instances when an opportunity offers, and that they are therefore unworthy of public confldence. GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS has been before the public for nearly twenty years, and during that period its efficacy and medicinal properties have successfully stood every test made of them by per- sons competent to judge of its merits. PURCHASERS are requested to note and remember the folowing facts, when purchasing Quinine Bitters:- No Bottle is sent out without the name "GWM-TJt EVANS' QUININE BITTERS" blown into the glass. No Government Stamp is attached without the name 'GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS" engraved on it. No Label is affixed without the name QWTLYJT EVANS' QUININE BITTERS" printed on it. Any preparation offered under the title of QUININE BITTERS," but which does not bear these tokens, is a SPURIOUS AND BASE IMITATION. AFTER THIS NOTICE, we hope that if any purchaser is offered any other pre- paration as a substitute for GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS on the plea that it is equally as good and cheaper, he will decline, and refuse the same with tho indignation of one who is aware that HE IS BEING IMPOSED UPON. It is to be hoped also that Purchasors and Tradesmen generally will use their utmost endeavours to discoun- tenance and put down these fraudulent and dishonest practices. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is Sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each, or in Cases containing Three 4s. 6d. Bottles at 12s. 6d. per Case. Each 4s. 6d.

l' EXCITING SMF, AT A FERRY. A sensation has been produced on the Woolwich Free Ferry by a young man named Henry King, of 7, Princes Road, Plumstead, jumping from the Duncan into the river, with the evident intention of committing suicide. Another young man. named Charles Kennard, of 3, The Grove, West Ham, who was also on the ferry-boat with hie bicycle, bound for a run from Essex into Kent, seeing the position of affaIrs, leaped into the water without a moment's hesitation, and swam to the drowning man, whom he seized as he was going down a third time. He managed to hold him up until a boat came to the rescue. King was in an exhausted condition and was taken to the police- station at North Woolwich, where he was brought round by Dr. Vance. After rescuing King, Mr. Kennard coolly mounted his machine, rode back to.hlS home, obtained a dry suit, and started again. Sicce the Free Ferry has been opened, thirteen personf have jumped or fallen into thfi river from the boats, and of these eleven have been rescued. The commendable conduct manifested by Mr. Kennard was watched with interest by pas- sengers, who cheered him heartily as he Acconp pliahed the rescued t
A DARING ROBBERY.
A DARING ROBBERY. A daring robbery has been effected at Messrs. Wrightson's, St. Olave's Bonded Tea Warehouse. John Street, Minories, London. The locks upon the immense gates leading into the gateway were smashed, as also were the locks of her Majesty's Customs. The thieves, of whom there must have been several, then forced open the iron fireproof doors, and got into the warehouse. A horse and cart appear to have been backed into the gateway. and some 16 to 20 chests of tea then loaded into the van. It is impossible at present to ascertain the exact number of packages stoleri. It is strangf that a robbery of the kind could have occurred in full daylight without attracting the notice of the constable on duty. Both the night policeman, who went off at six o'clock, and the constable who replaced him, declare that the locks had not then been tampered with. The matter has caused con- siderable excitement in the neighbourhood, the more so as only about a week ago a house was broken into in Cooper's Row, close by.
THREE BATHERS DROWNED.
THREE BATHERS DROWNED. Three young men, William Adams, a mill worker, John Logan, and William Hardy, ironmongers, have been drowned while bathing off Aberdeen beach. The weather was bright and warm, and, as usual, there was a large number of bathers. Several of them went into the water at a spot marked dangerous," where there is a treacherous current. The three young men, after going out a short distance, suddenly disappeared, and, although the beach lifeboat was at once launched, no trace of the lads could be found. About an hour later Adams' body was recovered. The beach was thronged with spectators at the time, and the greatest excitement prevailed. Nearly all the bathing fatalities which have occurred at Aberdeen beach have taken place at the spot where the pre- sent accident occurred.
