THE UNTOUCHED FIGURE
THE UNTOUCHED FIGURE There was a fire recently in a studio behind the PREMISES of Messrs. Parker and Co" photographers, High Holborn, London. The room was gutted and many valuable paintings and prints were destroyed Lean, ing against the wall was a fine copy o, Gustave Dore's "Christ leaving the Præ torium." Around it paintings and portraits were burnt to cinders, and. in the picture itself the crowds on the PrEetoriurc Eteps were blotted out by a grey substance formed by the smoke and water. Not an inch of the PICTURE escaped bave only the central figure of the Chri&t, which stands out like a freshly painted figure on a grey background. In the Middle Ages it wouid bate been considered a miracle.

GRAPHIO ACCOUNT. [Press Association Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Friday. The following is an authentic account of the sinking of the Petropavlovsk:- Itetiring into the harbour before the advance of the superior Japanese fleet, the Russian squadron approached the entrance. It was shortly after eight o'clock in the morning, and most of the officers and crews were at breakfast. Admiral Makaroff was breakfasting in his cabin, and the ward-room was crowded with officers at the table. On the bridge were the Grand Duke Cyril, Lieutenant Von Kube, his aide-de-camp, and Captain Yakovl-eff, commanding the vessels. Two offioers of the watch were examining the narrow entrance and preparing to enter jabout half-past eight, when there was a ter- Tific explosion of the boilers, followed a few seconds later by a detonation from the well- Btored magazines. Huge gaps were torn in the hull. The water rushed in, and the centre of gravity being displaced the ship foiled on her side and sank. ^Morning: Post" and "Evening Express" Special Correspondent.1 SHANGHAI, Thursday.

IN -WANT OF -WORKI
IN WANT OF WORKI A DEPRESSED BARMAID'sj SUICIDE. The young woman who committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea at Penarth On Wednesday afternoon has been identified as Miss A. Stephenson, a barmaid. Her father 18 in Australia, and her mother lived somewhere in the vicinity of London. Miss Stephenson seems to have been almost friend- less in this neighbourhood, and information a.e to her movements is still of a meagre Mature. However, it seems that some time ago she lodged for a fortnight at the house of a Mr. Blunt, in Mieldn-etreet, Cathays. from there she went to the Greyhound Hotel, Abergavenny, kept by Mrs. M'Craith. After the had been there some little time Mrs. ^t'Craith intimated that she wanted a younger, girl (Miss Stephenson was 35), but recommended her to a friend, Mrs. Jones, of f Ult. Frederick-Street, Cardiff, and asked the latter to put her up. When she had been "litlh Mrs. Jones for a fortnight Mrs. M'Craith ■wired for her to go back to the Greyhound over the Easter holidays, which she did. After being there a week she returned to stay with Mrs. Jones, at Cardiff. This was on Monday. On Tuesday morning she left the house, saying that she would go and see a gentleman who keeps a regis- try office, and who had promised to And her a situation. She seemed to be in trouble about the fees, and told Mrs. Jones that she had not sufficient money to Pay them. She seemed to be much upset, and cried bitterly. On Wednesday, on coming down to breakfast, she seemed to be greatly depressed. She left the house at 11.30, Baying that she would go to the free library and look in the papers for a situation and that She would return at 1.30. Mrs. Jones did not Bee her again, but on making inquiries of the neighbours one of them showed her a cop, of the Evening Express" containing the Bews of her lodger's suicide. Mre. Jones sub- Oeq-tly identified the body at the =8.: In conversation with one of our represen- tatives Mrs. Jones said: "She was as good, Straight, and upright a girl as ever was. She "Would never go out, but would keep me com- D&uy night after night. Her father is in Australia, and she spoke of trouble in the tami,ly. She had a letter from her mother 1aet week from London way, and in this it Was stated that her father was coming home. She said ehe would be glad to have a home. She had helped to keep her mother, and had Appeared depressed at not being able to send her mother any money." On Thursday a letter was received for Miss Stephenson from a friend at Great Malvern, 1rhich read:— My dearest A.,—I have thought so much about you and ,wondered how you are getting on. I hope well. Let me have a line from you when you have time love.— Yours, A.

U.S. NAVAL DISASTERI
U.S. NAVAL DISASTERI LOSS OF FIVE OFFICERS AND l 27 MEN. _I Grave Charges of Flagrant 1' Carelessness. Two more of the injured seamen have died. In a letter to Mr. Moody, secretary of the Navy, Mr. Roosevelt says that the victims died for their country as much as if they had met their deaths in action against an enemy, as, in order to prepare efficiently for war, risks must be run similar in kind, though not in degree, to those of battle. It appears that the chief-gunner's-mate, a man named Monson, saved the Missouri and the lives of six hundred men by jumping into the magazine, after the first explosion and ■slamming the door behind him. Meanwhile, the officers, regarding an explosion of the magazine as certain, ordered the ship to be beached. When 250 yirds from the beach the order was countermanded. The dead now number 32, and the damage is estimated at 50,000 (iollars.-Renter. The Pensaco-la ccrreependont of the New York World" say, that charges of fla-grarit carelessness in connection with the disaster on board the Missouri are current. The gunners of the vessel state that they were sur- rounded by bags of powder, which were with- out a.ny protection from possible tarnet or burning fragments. The powder bags were often prodded in order to get the gun loaded quickly. Several notable acts of heroism were performed in the attmpt made to rescue the wounded from the turet.—entral New.
CONVICT and JUSTICEI
CONVICT and JUSTICEI BREACH OF PROMISE ACTION SEQUEL. Yesterday, at Bow-street Police-court, Lon- don (before Sir Albert de Rutzen) Sophia Annie Watson, a convict serving a term of penal servitude at Aylesbury Prison, was a-gain charged, on remand, with committing perjury in connection with a breach of pro- mise action she brought, unsuccessfully, against Major-general Fitzhugh, one of the visiting jt&tices at Lesves Gaol. Mi". William- son, 6f t/hfe Treasury, prosecuted. The prisoner eon ducted her own case. Dr. George Edward Walker, governor and medical officer of Aylesbury Cbnvict Prison, was called and quer-tion-ed by prisoner as to prison details, until the magistrate cau- tioned the prisoner for being irrelevant. The Witness, answering further questions, said he knew the prisoner applied to the visiting board at Aylesbury Prison-iucluding the Earl of Buckingham and Admiral Piggott —respecting this .action. She wanted per- mission to write a special letter, but that was refused. On the 14th of January last wit- ness received a telegram asking him to pro- duce the prisoner in the High Court on the following day. In fact, he received several telegrams. One was from a, firm of solicitors. Another was from Mr. Justice Grantham. The Prisoner:, Ah! Mr. Justice Grantham. I GENERAL FITZHUGH. I was taken away from Aylesbury Prison without notice early in the morning! You sent me to the Law Courts in prison drees and handcuffs. Witness: Nob in prison dress. The Prisoner: You know Mr. Ritchie, the Secretary of State, came to the prison while I was there. If I had committed perjury I should have been told about it. Yon know I wrot43 a book on prison treatment?—I believe you did. Did you have one?—I think so. Did you see anything wrong in it? Sir Albert de Itntzen: All this may be very interesting, but it is immaterial. The Prisoner: My book, your Worship ,is called The Prisoner's Progress "—(laughter) —and it is about injustice. Inspector Hayter produced some letters which he took from th eprisoner's box, in the I MRS. WATSON. cloak-room at Cannon-street Station, when she was arrested, in September, 1903, for fail- ing to report herself. The prisoner examined the letters, and said one of them was from Major-General Fitz- hugh. Mr. Wiliamson said the letters were pro- duced at the first hearing by Detective- Inspector Tarrel. The Prisoner: But here is one from the general requesting that all correspondence betwen us should cease. Everything turns upon this one letter. I don't see why they should be allowed to keep my letters. There were no other witnesses in atten- dance, and the prisoner complained that her son had not been called. Prisoner was remanded.

JCHARGE AGAINST A SCHOOLMASTER Cyril Edward Simpson, aged 37, a school- master, giving an address at Brighton, sur- rendered to his bail at Marylebone, Londou, yeefterday, to further answer the charge of misconduct at Percy House School, 97, Finch- ley-road.

A boy communicated What 'had occurred to his father, and even- tually the matter found its way to the Soot- i land Yard authorities, with .the result that inquiries were made by Detectiversergeant Ball, and a warrant was obtained for the prisoner's arrest. In the meantime the accused had been practically suspended from the school, but he attended there by arrange- ment on March 29. and when arrested said he was perfectly prepared to meet the charge.

[WRECKED ROMANCE.!
[WRECKED ROMANCE.! SEQUEL TO A SECRET MARRIAGE. Remarkable Letters and a Talegraiii. I Romance and altogether unromantic realism are oddly imnterwoven in the story revealed by the libel action that Mr. Caleb Henry Fox- well is bringing against his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ada Shaito-Greene. The romance includes a, love match, opposition by the lady's friends, the secret marriage of the lovers the realism deals with the disagreement of husband and wife, their separation, and remtrkable letters and a telegram from the mother-in-law which form the subject of the action begun yester- day before Mr. Justice Lawrance. To lfr. Foxwell: Shall split on you, you scoundrel.—Julie Smith." To Mr. Foxwell and his mother: All that you said about a change to England next year and an improvement in your position is a fabrication. To feel that my daughter is the wife of a weaik, lying poltroon is my greatest grief. This is the opinion every decent-minded man hM of you, except men. of your own sort. Even strangers, ae well as my relations, dub you as being a, cad, a blackguard; and so you hare proved your- self. To her daughter: "Yes; you can plainly see money, money was aJ 1 he wanted. What a. consummate blackguard he c." It appeared that Mr. Foxwell, a good-looking young man, now 34 years old, described as the son of an Army major, was employed as chief accountant by the Irish National Condensed Mrlk Company at Clonmel. "How many young women have you been engaged rt:o?" he was asked yesterday. "I,et me see," he replied reflectively, "only two—yes, two engagements and an under- standing." On the 20th—a fatellul date—he went to Ire- land, and met Miss Shafto-Grene, who was fourteen years his junior, on the steamer. In October he received a letter from Miss Shafto- Grene. "According to that letter you seem to have got on very quickly," observed the judge. "Apparently the attentions did not stop at the biiaildy giVeh to the lady on account of sea-sickness, because she speaks of 'the kisses stili on my lips.' The couple fell in love almost at first sight. Mr. Foxwell, continuing his story, said that at the request of Mrs. Shafto-Grene he a'ocom- panied the young lady on her return to England, and Mrs. Shafto-Grene suggested tha.t as they were fond of each other, Mr. Fox- well and her daughter had better become engaged. He explained that he was not in a position to marry, but shortly afterwards he became engaged. NOT FOR SUNNY DAYS." I Many love-letters passed between the couple, j The iady wrote:- Harry, dear! Dearest, realise that I am not for sunny days and country rambles only, but also for dark and dreary ones. There was a, compact not to marry for three months. Then came complications. Visiting London for the Coronation festivities, Mrs. Shafto-Grene and the young lady stayed with -a. Mr. Hill, a, solicitor, who had since died. One evening Mr. Foxwel was invited to join them at dinner, and a strange thing happened." Manoeuvring to get near her fiance, Miss Greno is said to have whispered huriedly and with agitation: They are going to try and part us; but you won't desert me, wil you?" After dinner, when the ladies had gone, Mr. Hill said suddenly, according to Mr. Fox'wel-l, "You must give up this lady." The accountant assured him he should do nothing of the kind, and after some other words," the rejoined the ladies. Subsequent letters indicated that the lovers' affection had not cooled in consequence of this eprisode:- Dearest of dearests (wrote the young lady) you will break my heart if you write, "Oh, why did he bring us to-gether?" You must come and say that we have decided to be married, as we have come to love each other dearly, and would rather wait end grow rich together than live unhappily apart. I am of age, and have L40 which is my own. We can be m-arried without fuss. Not ijecretly, but quite quietly-not more than twelve people present. Terrible things are going to happen (she wrote in a further letter). My father is to be told. Will it not be wisest, and save me terrible scenes, if you oorue over, as you .suggest in your letter, and marry me, and then go back to Ireland, and return for me when everything is ready there?" FATHER ON WARPATH. I Soon after came this telegram from Miss Sh-afto-Greene: Come at once to Southsea. Father on war- pa,th. You must come at once and secure me. Mr. Foxwell hurried off, and at the earliest possible moment the couple were married at the Southsea Registry Office. Then the hus- band went back to Du-blin, and only when ehe found herself the object of another gentle- man's attentions, it was said, did the newly- made wife tell her mother. So Mr. Foxwell was summoned to Southsea. Then came a suggestion of a. settlement and life policy of £ 1,000, continued counsel; and the trouble began. For a time after the wife joined her husband they lived very happily together. But, whether it was the effect of the mother's letters to her daughter, or the disappoint- ment she appeared to feel at their somewhat straitened means, after a; time, aaid before their expected child was born, Mrs. Foxwell ieft her husband, and had since lived with her mother. It was after this separation tha.t the alleged libellous letters were written. Mrs. Shafto-Grene, according to counsel, denied that she sent the telegram in the name of Miss Smith, but with regard to the letters a plea of justification was raised. Further, said Mr. Foxwell's solicitor, untrue chaises were made against his client to the effect that he I made a false declaration at the marriage, kept his wife short of momey, and frequently went home drunk. A JOLLY HORROR." I Shortly after the separation, he added, Mrs. Foxwell wrote to her husband, As for the poor unborn babe, if it takee; after you it will be a jolly horror." In cross-examination, Mr. Foxwell eaid owing to the scandal created in Clonmel by the letters he was obliged to leave hie employ- ment there in April. He had not contributed anything to the support of hia wife or child since Ms wife deserted him in 1903. He had not endeavoured to poison his wife's mind against her mother, but he had informed her of a, few facts in order to try and get her back again. He wrote to his wife on Opril 18 last yea,r:- My eyes are now open and I see through the whole plot. Your mother forced me into the engagement for reasons heist known to herself and to suit her plans aC the time. She was corastmtly meeting a Mr. Mundle cycling. Your connocted story about the income is an absolute lie, and I oa.n prove you knew what my income was. Even if you were mis- taken you had no right to desert me on the pretence of visiting your mother. This, visit was planned by your mother solely to get your money settled on her. I wish I had made inquiries about you before I married you. I know something about your mother's life for the last ten years. "What did you mean by that?"—"I meant that there bad been some discreditable things." The woman who reports her husband dead when he is aJive, plays the widow, and sends ibogus telegrams, is a danger to society. You knew Mrs. Grene wae separated from her husband?'-—"No. 4he posed as a widow. Yonruleo referred to Mm. Grene as a low- down adventuress of a third-rate order?"— "Yes, because she had written the libels which have brought all my present trouble upon me." At thia paint the heading was adjourned.

[ BOGUS SOCIETIESj IBOGUS…
[ BOGUS SOCIETIES j I BOGUS SOCIETIES I I A SWINDLER'S REMARKABLEI CAREER. I At Clerkenwell Sessions, London, yesterday, John Henry Johnson, 55, was indicted for a long series of alleged frauds upon members of the public in connection with what were described as bogus associations or societies, notably the Railway Reform Association, the I Marylebone Ratepayers' Association, and the Society for the Suppression of Street Noises I and Nuisances. M. Guy Stephenson, who prosacuted for the Treasury, said the prisoner bad posed as the j honorary secretary of theae concerns. On February 27 last he called on Lord Ludlow at his residence, Seaforth House, Beigrave- square. He presented a cwrd. headed The Marylbon Ratepayers' Protection Associa- tion," and described himself as honorary eec- re-tary. He told Lord Ludlow that Sir Samuel Scott had sent him, and his lordship was de- ceived into the belief that the "association" was a valuable institution, and showed a cheque for £ 5. Later inquiries showed that Sir Samuel Scott knew nothing of the prisoner. In connection with the same association, Johnson obtained 5s. from the Rev. Mr. Forbes, of St. Ciprian Church, Doreet-,square, W.; £ 1 Is. from Mr. Warren de la Rue, of York-tarrace, Regent's Park; and L2 from a Mr. Edward White, of Upper Berkeley-street, Marylebone. To throw further light on the prisoner's methods Mr. Stephenson mentioned an earlier society known as the Railway Reform Asso- ciation. In a circular, said counsel, the ob- jects set forth included imposing a more sub- stantial and effective control over the various railway companies in the matter of over- crowding, unpmictualty, anomalous fares, and insufficient lighting of carriages, platforms, and staircases, a proper indication of names at and an adequate supply of live porters. (Load laughter.) Many people became victims, and sub- scribed to the funds of this association. An- other which brought in many contributions was one for the snxfrita&ida of street noises. Lord Ludlow, in giviitg evidence, said that when he heard that Truth had exposed Johnson he denounced him as "a rogue and swindler." Johnson," said his lordship, "responding by calling me ail eorts of namef, which J do not think I need-in fact, I have forgotten them." (Laughter.) Mr. Edward White, of Upper Berkeley- street, who, whilst a member of the Maryle- bone Council, opposed the electric lighting scheme, said he received the r,-apport of the Ratepayers' Association. Afterwards the prisoner pressed him to become a vice-presi- dent. When asked for a, subscription, he sug- gested a guinea.. Oh, i:ia-5so it two," said prisoner. I was buey," explained witness, and I gave him tW) guineas." (Laughter.) Afterwards the prisoner was dramatically declaiming (.)Ti the in iquitiep-, of the Mary- lebone Council, when his lordship said he must reserve that, speech for the public meet- ing of the association in Marylebone. (Laughter.) Prisoner: But the position in Marylebone is unique and calls for exposure. (Laughter.) The Judge: Not from the dock. Prisoner: I am seeking to justify my posi- tion here, and I am willing to change it at any moment, my lord. Loud laughter.) Mrs. Reid, in whose house at Romford-road the prisoner lived, said that he still owed an account of £ 1 4s. 9id. The prisoner wanted to use her house as a matrimonial bureau. The Judge: Are you a widow? Witness: Yes. Prisoner: Didn't I snggeat to you that, as you were always in trouble, you shotrld con- sider the desirability of getting hold of some millionaire to re-arrange matters? (Laughter.) The judge suppressed the question. Detective-sergeant Draper eaid that when arrested the prisoner had with him the rate- payers' subscription-book, which showed the receipt of JE40, and another book at his lodg- ings had entries totalling £ 95 in connectiou with the Railway Reform Association. The jury having found the prisoner guilty, Detective-sergeant Draper sa.id that since 1885 he had promoted many similar concerns. In that year he formed a society for the sup- pression of improper publications; iD 1889 another entitled the "Social and Religious Reform League"; and in 1891 a proposed model co-operative community," which sug- gested the raising of £50,000 by an appeal to the philanthropic world. In 1895 he organised a society called "Social Concord"; in 1896 a London Ratepayers' and Government Im- provement Association and in 1897 and East London Water league, in connection with which he received 9107 as subscriptions. The same year he published two numbers of a periodical called Good Fortune." In 1338 be commenced the Society for Suppressing Street Noises; in 1900 a. league for the protection and advancement of British industries in con- sequence of the invasion of the Chinese in English laundry work; and after that an anti-adulteration association and also a "philosophical society of altmiste." In 1903 the Railway Reform Association was started, and in 1903 the Ratepayers' Protection Asso- ciation. Prisoner was seutenced to fifteenmonihs' hard labour.
MURDERER'S RELICS--I
MURDERER'S RELICS I Crossman's Trunk and Cement I Sold to Tussaud's The infamous life and dramatic death of the murderer Grossman were vividly reoalled by an action at Harlesden yesterday. Mrs. Edith Caroline Crossman, who was stated to be the only lawful wife of the murderer, summoned Mr. Stephen Treloai", the landlord., of 23, Ladysmith-road, for the return of fur- niture, valued at XS, which Mr. Treloar had retained in respect of a debt of 17 for rent. She also summoned two pawnbrokers, Messrs. Thompson and Roberts, for the return of two rings1 pledged by her late husband without her consent. An intricate case was further complicated by Mr. A. E. Owen, a brother of Nurse Samp- son, Grossman's ill-fated1 victim, who claimed certain goods from Mr. Treloar and the jewellery in the hands of the pawnbrokers, which he maintained were the property of his deceased sister. Mrs. Grossman, in cross-examination, acknowledged that she was staying in the house while Grossman and Mias Welch were living there as Mr. and Mrs. Season. When Mr. Owen went into the witness-box he was asked by Mr. Attenborougli, who appeared for the pawnbrokers, why he wanted the goods he claimed. He replied that he wished to prevent them being exhibited. Mr. Atrten borough: You know that the trunk and cement have been sold to Madajne TussaJid'e?—I had nothing to do with it. Inspector Pollard explained that the trunk and cement were in charge of the coroner, and had become the property of the Crown. Mr. Pierron (for the landlord): And the Crown have sold them to Madame Tussaud's? Inspector Pollard; The mortuary-keeper dis- posed of the things, but their exhibition has been prohibited. The Bench eventually made an order for Mr. Treloar to return the goods claimed by Mrs. Crossman, on payment of 15s., one Month's rent, and three shillings costs. The ring pledged with Mr. Thompson was to be restored. Mr. Owen's claims were disallowed.

MISSED HER PURSE
MISSED HER PURSE SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS ARRESTED AT SWANSEA. Solicitor and Policeman Wrangle I in Court. On Thursday at Swansea Police court, Robert Kendrick (Spita-lfields), John Drum- uiond (Stepney, Samuel Harris, and Isaac Abramovitch (Swansea) were charged with stealing and receiving a purse containing C3 odd from t.he person of Mrs. Jane Ja-ines, of Dunvant-, at the London and "North Western Rail- way Station, Swansea, on April 9. and a purse containing 4s. 6d. belonging to Elizabeth Morgan, at the same time and place. Mr. L. Richards prosecuted and Mr. Henry Thomp- son defended.—Mrs. James said she came to Swansea on Saturday morning, and as she was leaving the station she missed her puree, and saw three men leave the station together. i-Wilfrid Thomas, booking-clerk, said Abram- ovitch took a ticket for Pantyffynon about the time mentioned on Saturday morning.— Police -congtable Bowen saw all the prisoners at the station, and they seemed flurried and excited, and eventually Abramovitch went to the ticketrofiice and took tickets. Theopbilus Williams, a brakesman at Pantyfiyncn, said he saw prisoners at that station and tried to stop them, but they threatened to strike him and got away. Police-constable Phillips arrested them subsequently at Morriston. Detective-sergeamt Morris gave interesting evidence as to tracing the defendants and to their running away from Dyfatty-street, Swansea. They all had money and one a bank-book. When charged prisoners made no reply until Mr. Thompson told them to "plead 'Not guilty.' Mr. Thompson: That's a lie-an absolute lie. Witness: It is not a lie. Mr. Thompson: I repeat, it is a deliberate lie. Witness: If you stand up in court and say that is a lie, I'm surprised. You were only there by privilege. Mr. Thompson 1 don't want your comment— the comment of a common policeman. Mr. Thompson subsequently remarked that the witness was the poorest witness in the Swansea j-.olice force, and he had heard judges of assize say so.' Witneso: You've not. I've been compli- mented by them. I ask you to withdraw that remârk. It will injure my reputation. llr. Thompson: ^fdnBense. AVeil. it muet have been an old friend of whom he said it. then. On the advTee of the magistrates' clerk Air. Thompson withdrew his remark, but subse- quently had a wordy battle with the sergeant as to his not cautioning the defendants in the cells. Eventually the charges of felony were dismissed, but the Bench decided to convict all the defendants for loitering about with intent. Abramovitch said he was a dealer and had an interest in a stall in Swansea Market. On the day in question he and the other defen, dants decided to go to Llandebie to arrange for a boxing booth, in whicTT Kendrick, who was a champion pugilist, would be the "star." All except Kendrick had been previously convicted, and they were sentenced to three months' hard labour each. Kendrick received sentence 6f one month.
! EXPLOSION AT WOOLWICH.
EXPLOSION AT WOOLWICH. Two Persons Injured. A eix-roomed house, at 2, Keemor-slreet, Woolwich, occupied by Mr. E. W. Taylor, was practically wrecked in consequence of a gas explosion yesterday afternoon, whilst the houses on each eide were affected, and the windows of five houses on the opposite side of the road smashed. Two of tihe inmates, Sarah Elizabeth Brighton, aged 68, and Edith Geor- gina, Taylor, 27, were c-everely injured. The elder Woman tttad to be taken to Plumstead Infirmary, where she was detained, her injuries including a conrpound fracture of the ankle. It aprpeai-s that Mrs. Brighton went to a cupboard to get something from a dark corner and et-ruck a match. A terrific explosion fol- lowed, which nearly blew out the bak walls of the houee. At the time of the accident Mrs. Taylor was in front of the premises, just starting out for a walk with her baby, who, happily, escaped injury. The Woolwich fire- men came up smartly in response to an alarm, and extinguished the fire by means of the first aid appliance.
-SPORT OF THE DAY
SPORT OF THE DAY Captain William Bass, the owner of Sceptre, has returned from India to England, and has been at Newmarket this week. At Newmarket A. B. Sadler's Elfira (Trigg) beat Whifitlethrnsh (J. Jarvie) and Nnncaetle (ÍV. Lane) in a trial over five furlongs. Adroit, the dam of Easter Gift, has produced at the Williamstown Stud, West Meath, a filly foal by Wild Monk, and the youngster is thu-3 a full sister to the winner of the Coronation Stakes at the Curragh two, years ago. Frank Hardy is going on as well as can be after his accident at Northampton, and he is hopeful that he will be able to ride at Ascot, where, amongst other moante, he would, of course, steer Sceptre in the Ascot Cup. It has been definitely arranged by Mr. J. C. Munro, master of the Atherstone Hounds, that the point-to-point steeplechases in connection with that hunt ehall be held at Barton Hastings, a few miles from Nuneaton, on Monday, the 25th inst. Lady Maple hae determined to send up for sale at the Newmarket First July Meeting the whole of the stallions at Childwickbury, with the exception of Common and Royal Hamp- ton; and of the brood mares only Priestess is to he retained. Mr. Sievier has concluded that he wants a year's rest to give his lock a chance, and he will, therefore, offer for sale at the next New. market meeting all his horses in training, which comprise some proved good ones and others of great promise. It ie not his inten- tion to dispose of the yearlings, having1 no mind to quit the game altogether. Chelmsford racecourse was laid oat con- siderably more than a hundred years ago, and at one time held a Jockey Club licence, while a. Queen's Plate was annually decided there. By some oversight a year was allowed to elapse without a meeting taking place, and the licence, therefore, lapsed. Inside the run- ning-track there is a church and a windmill, a distinction of which no other racecourse in the country can boast. The Racing Calendar" of yeetetrday has the followingThe stewards of the Jockey Club have withdrawn the sentences of warn- ing-off passed upon L. Beiff and F. Rickaby." Both the reinstated jockeys have been missing from the Knglieh turf for two years, and doubtless riding licences will be granted to them in due course.

11 TAKE ME GENTLY." Irish Murderer's Last Request. I This morning at Kilkenny John Kelly, Labourer, waa hanged for the murder of his wife at Kildare on January 2. The execution was carried out by William Billington. When approached by the executioner Kelly said, "Take me gently, and you can do what you like with me." He walked unsupported to the scaffold, attended by the prison chaplain and hie curate, and answered the prayers audibly. On the bolt being drawn death resulted install taneou«ly. The crime was a monstrous one. Nearly every bone in the unfortunate vroman's body was broken, and Kelly must have jumped on her to inflict the terrible injuries. He had hopes of a reprieve, and collapsed when he heard the decision of the authorities.

Racegoers wi!l have to journey to Derby if they wish to follow sport under Jockey Club rules, and this popular Midland fixture can depend upon receiving plenty of support. Special trains at cheap fares will bring large crowds from all parts of the country, and the attendance this afternoon promises to reach strong proportions. Although the early morn- ing is of a dull nature, and shows signs of the storm that fell yesterday, I sHa-11 expect to see it cler.r as the morning advances, and fine weather favour visitors to the Derby enclosure. Messrs. Ford and Sons have issued a very entertaining programme abounding in entries. and good class sport will be witnessed. Big fields will be the order of the day, and the arrival liet will be streng- thened during the morning by a strong New- market contingent. The most interest will be centered in the Doveridge Handicap Plate, of 600 sovs, decided over the straight mile. The Lincoln Handicap second, WOLFSHALl, I has arrived to compete, and, with hiE; form on the Carholme reading qtrite good enough, I shall anticipate his sucoeas.
