FOOTBALL. "W rexham had an easy task to gain two points in the Combination on Saturday. Their opponents were Denton, with whom they played a drawn game at Denton earlier on in the season. On Saturday Denton were poorly represented, and scarcely had a look-in. Wrexham scored five goals in each half, and won by ten goals to nil-the largest score the team has run up this season. Under the circumstances, it would be idle to criticise the players, but we might refer to the fact that on one or two occasions the home team got completely disorganised. This was owing to the desire to score. The backs and half-backs got amongst the forwards, and the home players appeared to be striving with one another as to who should kick the ball. Prichard played a good game on the right wing, and centred in first-class style. Amongst the visitors the goalkeeper kept his charge in a cool manner, and but for his defence the score would have been much heavier. Whitehead showed a fine turn of speed, and made some sharp sprints in the second halt along the right. On Monday, Wrexham again played Chirk on the Racecourse -this tin.e it w"" the return fixture in the Coml,in:L t1011. I Wrexham were fully represented, but Chirk were without W. P. Jones and Egan, the latter playing at Newton Heath in J. Doughty's benefit. Taylor, of the Druids, took Jones' place, and Albert Jones partnered G. Owen on the left. Play was fairly even at the start, but after Chirk had scored. Wrexham had the test of it, but were umible to equalise up to the interval. On crossing over, Chirk had a little more of the play than their opponents, and it was E:eeii that they must win unless rexham improved considerably. They did not do this, but on the contrary, after S. Jones had made a bad mistake rnd given Chirk a second goal, they fell ill considerably LLd Chirk put on a third point. Then the home team roused themselves, and had very hard lines in not scoring cn several occasions. Chirk added another goal, and finally ran out easy winners by four goais to nil. Chirk were undoubtedly the better team, and fully deserved their victory. Hiles played a good game in goal, and both backs kicked well. The hail-backs wire very strong, and all three played a lirst-ciass game. The forwards combined well. W. and G. Owen played their usual cool and effective game. Butler was dangerous in the centre, and James showed up better than usual. Albert Jones is not the player he was, but he put in some pretty touches. Coming to the home team, S. Jones made one bad mistake, but could not be blamed for the other goals. The backs were fair, and the half-backs strong. The forwards did not pull together at all. Prichard and Turner did badly on the right, and Lewis and Lea were not in their customary form. Wilding worked hard, but not effectively. The fight for the Junior Cup was brought to a close at Rhvl on Saturday, when Llandudno Swifts beat Wrexham Gymnasium by three goals to one. The match took place in the Summer Gardens, and the playing ground was small. The ball was con- sequently out of play nearly as much as it was in. The Gyms pressed severely in the first half, but on crossing over each side had scored once. The second portion of the game was fairly even, the Swifts having a little more of the play than their opponents. The Swifts added two points to their score, while the Gyms, try as they would, could not break through the strong defence of the Llandudno team. For the winners, the goalkeeper and backs played finely. Knight, the centre half, went forward in the second half, and did P. lot towards winning the game for his side. Roberts and the backs lost the Gymnasium the match. The half-backs played a hard game, and the forwards passed nicely, but shot badly. Shelby was the best of the lot. Garner rambled all over the field, ttiid Harrison played the man too much. Hughes and Higginson did not work well together. The supporters of the Llandudno team had got out "{ullomI" cards for the benefit of the Gymnasium team, which were produced when the game was over. A general meeting of the Football Combination was held at Manchester on Friday evening. There was a long discussion I1.S to the new scheme proposed by the Football League. There was a unanimous expression of opinion that it would be desirous to carry on the Combination next season in the same manner as heretofore, and this decision was ultimately adopted. Wrexham was not represented, but Mr T. E. Thomas, Chirk, was present. We understand that a movement is on foot to re-organise the Welsh League. On Easter Tuesday, Preston North End play a District team at Llangollen.

RUADON GRAMMAS SCHOOL V. LLANGOLLEN ASSIST- ANT-Tiie return niatcii was played at Llangollen, on Thursday, before a fair number of spectators. The home club at the start became aggressors, and several attacks on the visitors' goal were made, but Murless and Harris playing well, the attacks were repelled time after time. The visitors' right wing made a good run, but Taylor shot wide. The visitors' left were prominent, and Taylor sent a long shot, which was well met. Some mid-field play followed, both sets of half-backs doing good work. The visitors' left wing were then let in, and J. R. Taylor registered the first and what proved to be their only goal. After this reverse, the home club played with great determination, and from a bully managed to equalise shortly before half-time. During the second half, the home club had the best of the exchanges, and kept the visiting backs and goalkeeper busy. Ulti- mately Wynne registered the second and winning point for the home club about five minutes from time. —The following was the School team E. Morris, goal Murless and H. Harris, backs; Woodford, llaigh and Harris, half-backs; R. T. Jones, Morris, G. Taylor, J. P. Taylor, and Uuy Taylor, forwards. I RUAHON GIUMMAR SCHOOL Y. EHHISTOCK.—These teams met for the second time this season at Erbistock. on Saturday. The visiting team was not considered a strong one, the home club even assisted by phtver? from Ovel ton. During the first half the anle priced even timi fast, both sctH of forwards doin ,ocd 'i'lie vi?itinn backs, however, covered the goalkeeper, who had not as many shots as Mossford to deal with. It was close upon half- time when the viátors opened the score, which was quickly cqu:discd, and the teams crossed over one all. On resuming the visitors played with greater deter- I' mination, and soon took up the aggressive, and the iiiiiizttioii, In -I t,),) I i tip fi!C iL g -'kept biis),. The home backs and goalkeeper were kept busy. The pressure, with the exception of one or two spurts by the home right ving. was kept up. shot after shot being sent in. Three took effect, and then the whistle sounded, the visitors were again victors by four goals to one. The teams were afterwards enter- tained to teit by Mrs Sparling, at the Vicarage. The following were tl-e players:—Erbistock: A. H. Moss- ford, goal; J. Jones and P. Harrock, backs; A. Roberts, P. II. Sparling, and Wellstead, half-backs; G. Edge, T. You do, ll. Mooney, G.

LEEK.—At Buxton, on Saturday, The game opened fast, and after fifteen minutes Finney scored for Buxton, Harrison following with a beauty a few minutes later. Afterwards Leek were pressed, Edmondson keeping goal wonderfully. Result:— Buxton, two goals; Leek, none. NoiiiiiWilli VICTORIA Y. STOKE SWIFTS.—At North- wich, before 3,000 spectators. During the initial half the home team made matters warm for Stoke, the home forwards working brilliantly, and Leather- barrow, Hayes, and Finnerhan scored. Resuming, Finnerhan had a splendid run, and scored. Leather- barrow then scored a fifth goal from a free kick close in. A fast, though rather unequal, game ended :— North wich Victoria, five goals Stoke, none. DENTON v. WREXHAM.—Played on Wrexham Race- course, on Saturday, before about 300 spectators. Stafford kicked off for Denton, and the visitors at once got down, gaining a corner. This was placed behind and then from a nice centre by Prichard Wrexham gained a similar advantage. The ball was well-placed, Leayrnan clearing. Hartley and Berten- shaw rushed away along the right, but the ball was sent behind. Then B. JJewis made a capital run, but shot just outside. Wilding placed the ball nicely to Lea, but he shot badly. Some exciting play took Elace in the visitors' goal, shots from Stokes and Lea being kept out. A free kick for Denton in mid-field relieved the pressure for a time. The home team were, however, soon again round the visitors' goal, and eventually from a centre by Prichard, Wilding shot the first goal. Leayman saved well directly afterwards, and then Seddon and Arrandale made a run along the left. The ball was well centred and a corner followed. This was splendidly placed, Jones hitting away. Away went the Wrexham forwards to the other end, and a free kick right in front of Denton goal looked dangerous, but the ball was placed behind. Prichard sent in a good shot, the ball going over the bar. The visitors' left wing got away, and Arrandale crossed, Ellis heading away. "Hands" for Denton in mid-field came 'to nothing. Then from a corner, Prichard scored the second for Wrexham. The home forwards had several chances of adding to their score directly after the re-start, but failed to take advantage of them. Denton were dangerous and Bertenshaw had a good chance but shot behind. A corner, which came to nothing, fell to Wrexham. The home team appeared disorganised for a time. They, however, roused themselves again, and from a cross by Lea, J. Turner shot the third goal for Wrexham. Nearly straight from the kick-off, Lewis dribbled past the backs and shot. The ball hit the bar and rebounded into play, and J. Turner securing shot through the fourth goal. Lea shot a fifth goal after Leayman had saved from Wilding. Prichard made a good run and sent in a fine shot which Leayman saved. Lea secured and screwed over the bar just as half-time arrived, with Wrexham leading by five goals to nil. Oil changing end- from the kick-off, the Wrexham forwards passed well and nearly scored, the ball just passing outside the fiosts. Wilding shot wide, and a corner, which was well placed, was headed over by Heyes. Denton rushed away and S. Jones had to hit out a long shot. The ball was returned and a corner for Denton was sent behind. The game was then carried on in front of the visitors' goal, which had several narrow escapes. Leayman saved several shots in fine style, and the second half was about 20 minutes old before, after a shot from Wilding had been returned, Prichard sent the ball through, scoring the sixth point for Wrexham. From the re-start, Wrexham at once came awaY, and J. Turner shot a. seventh goal. From a centre by Prichard, Let shot the eighth. Then followed more pressure by the home team, varied by occasional breaks-away by White- head on the right-wing. From one of these rushes, Hartley nearly scored, and a corner for Denton was placed behind". Then H. Lewis ran right past the backs, and shot the ninth goal. More pressure t5,oa l inlore pres.ire followed, until Lea kicked a tenth point, from a pass by Turner.

WREXHAM.—Played on Wrexham Race- course on Monday, before 1,000 spectators. Wilding kicked off for Wrexham, and Lea at once got along the left wing and crossed, a chance of scoring being missed. Heyes put in a good kick, and then hands against Wrexham removed the play to the opposite end, W. Owen and James passing nicely. The latter shot, and S. Jones hit away. A corner for Wrexham was well placed, Heyes shooting over. A smart piece of work by Butler was followed by a free kick for the home team in mid-field. Mates returned well, and then Butler nearly got through. Hands for Chirk near goal was dangerous. S. Jones saved two shots in succession in fine style, and then W. Owen sent the ball just over the bar. Jones had to kick out along shot from W. Owen, and then from a centre by James, Butler shot over. At the other side, Lea was well placed, but shot behind. Heyes directly afterwards had a good chance, but shot wide. Two free kicks for Wrexham in mid-field followedr and from the latter, after Taylor had made a miss- kick, Wilding shot high over the bar. Another free kick for Wrexham came to nothing, Mates clearing, arh8 then Chirk were awarded a, free kick for "hands" near the home goal. Heyes cleared, but G.

Th18 was well saved by Hiles, and then Turner shot over. From a good shot by Heyes, Prichard headed just outside.

Lea made a good attempt to bring the ball in, just sending it behind. Good passing by the Wrexham forwards was finished by Wilding shooting weakly. Postles kicked out, and then Stokes sent behind. "From a foul against Chirk near goal, Hiles had to clear, and then Ellis missed his kick. Heyes, however, got back and stopped the Chirk forwards just in time. Wrexham pressed severely, but could not score.. Ellis missed his kick again, and S. Jones had to run out to save. Hands for Wrexham near goal was sent over by Lea. Chirk were again dangerous, and from a centre by W. Owen, Butler shot over. From the goal-kick, B. Lewis dribbled down and crossed, Taylor missed his kick, but Hiles saved after some exciting play in the Chirk goal. Butler got away and Ellis louled him when within the 12 yards lim t, and the referee gave a penalty kick. This was t tkeii by W. OWJII, but he sent the ball over the bar- HanAs" for Chirk near the home goal followed, and W. Owen sent the ball well across, A. Jones putting the ball outside the posts just as half-time arrived, with Chirk leading by one goal to nil. On changing ends, Wrexham were the first to get away. The ball was quickly returned and a free kick for the visitors near goal was well placed. S. Jones gave a. corner, which was sent behind by R. E. Jones. Chirk were now well in the home quarters, and Jones screwed behind. A free kick for Wrexham was well taken, but Lea handled the ball. The leather quickly travelled to the home goal, and from a corner, Morris kicked over. S.J ones'saved a shot froniG. Owen. Lea crosse 1 well, and Prichard dashed in, Hiles just saving. The Chirk foiwards nearly scored, S. Jones clearing. Chirk were now having much more of the play than their opponents, and the Wrexham goal had several narrow escapes. A free kick for a foul by Chirk did not relieve the pressure for long, and S. Jones saved well on two occasions. R. E. Jones was hurt at this period of the game, and play was stopped for a short time. A corner for the visitors followed upon a free kick. This was well placed and Morris kicked behind. Directly after- wards, from a long shot, the ball hit. the bar and went over. The home forwards rushed away, and a chance of scoring was missed. Morris cleared. Wrexham then pressed for a time, but with a long shot Butler scored the second goal for Chirk, S. Jones missing his kick. Directly afterwards, from a pass by G. Owen, W. Owen kicked the third goal for Chirk. The referee now inspected Taylor's boots, and he had to go off to get a new pair. Wrexham had a little more of the game, but were unable to get the ball past Hiles. Evan Williams and J. Turner shot behind. J. Turner crossed well, but Lea failed to get up in time. Wrexham had hard lines in front of the Chirk goal, Hiles finally saving. The visiting forwards then went to the other end and G. Owen shot the fourth goal. Nothing else was scored, and the final result was Chirk. four goals Wrexham, nil. The following were the teams :—Chirk Hiles, goal T. Taylor and Postle, backs R. E. Jones, Mates and E.

THE LEAGUE. Saturday furnished a surprise in the defeat of Sunderland by Notts County. The match took place at Nottingham, and there was a very large attend- ance. With the wind at their backs the home tca u quickly forced the play, but they failed to profit by a couple of corners. Sunderland afterwards tried hard to score, yet they were unable to overcome the dex- terity of Toon in goal, and at the interval neither side had gained a point. Throughout the second period the play ruled fast and exciting. Oswald eventually obtained a goal for Notts, by which they won the match.—On Monday, West Bromwich Albion and Stoke played a drawn game of two goals each, at West Bromwich. Considerable interest was taken in this match at Bolton on Monday evening, and many thousand people were present. Mclnnes, of Notts, scored the first goal for England, who led by that point at half-time, Early in the second period the figures were equalised, and then Scotland got ahead. Bassett subsequently made matters level, and the game was drawn at two goals all.—The results of the League up to the present are now as follows :— P. W. L. D. Pts.

THE ALLIANCE. Various matches of interest were played in this organization on Saturday. Birmingham St. George s and Newton Heath opposed each other at Newton Heath. The home team won by three goals to none. Burton Swifts proved no match for Lincoln City at Lincoln, and were defeated by four goals to none. Small Heath defeated Walsall Town Swifts by four goals to three at WaIsaII. Notts Forest met Grimsby Town at Grimsby on Saturday, but the appointed referee did not turn up, and the match accordingly did not count. The lorest just won by a goal.

THE SCOTTISH CUP. At the second attempt the Celtic and Queen's Park teams managed to play off the final tie in the Scottish Cup competition on Saturday. It took place at lbrox Park, Glasgow, where there was an enormous attend- ance. With the wind at their backs the Queen's men had much the better of the football, and shots at their rivals' goal followed each other with rapidity. They were, however, only once able to get the ball through, and by this point they held the lead at half-time. The second three-quarters of an hour completely changed the aspect of affairs. Quite early the Celtic men got in front, and adding three other goals later on, they beat Queen's Park by five goals to one. This was the 18th competition for the Cup, and the first in which the Celtic were successful.

I THE MELBOURNE MURDER. j The Australian mail brings full details of the Windsor wife murder, for which Deeming is now awaiting trial at Melbourne. The house at which the murder was committed is 57, Andrew-street, Windsor, and belongs to a Mr Stamford, a butcher, who lives in the High-street. Andrew-street is a thoroughfare lined on both sides by villas of moderate pretensions. No. 57 is built of brick. It has a neat appearance, with a shrubbery in front, and the passage-way at the side is also lined with shrubs. The house contains five rooms and a bathroom. All the rooms open irony the hall-way on the ground-floor. The house had been vacant for some time, and on March 3rd, a lady called upon Mr Stamford desiring to see the premises with a view to some time, desir ?fhen s h e was s h own over the house taking them. When she was shown over the house she complained of a bad smell. Mr Stamford passed the matter over, as landlords are wont to do, but sub- sequently, with his agent, Mr C. C. Connop, inspected the building. The odour was then so disagreeable that they made a further examination, and ultimately ascertained that the smeil c; me m m under the bed- room fireplace. Here the idea of a murder seems to have at once struck both men, and they decided, before doing anything, to call in the police. Sergeant U'Louuhlin with Constables Kinniburgh and Webster, thereupon attended. They first removed the slab which covered the fireplace. This was a task of great difficulty, as it had been built in such away that none would have suspected that there had been any rectm disturbance. With the assistance of a crowbar and a pick, however, the state siab was removed, and tiicn it was at once seen that an. atrocious crime had been perpetrated. It was not certain at first whether the remains disclosed were those of a boy or woman, as the body was confined within a space of 18ins. by 30ins., literally buried in cement. Before the features of the victim could be seen it was necessary to use the pick to remove the cement which adhered in concrete form to every part of the body. it was then found to be a woman of medium height and slender proportions. The body rested oil the left side, with the right hand across the breast, wliiie the left clasped the throat. It was doubled up in a re- volting manner. So far as the police could judge, the poor woman had been struck uown from behind by a terrible blow from some heavy instrument. The skull was broken in three places, but the murderer does not seem to have been satisfied even then, for the throat was cut from left to right in a terrible manner. The medical gentlemen, who made a careful examination, are of opinion that the crime was com- mitted after the two had retired to sleep, and that if the crime were not committed whilst the woman lay in bed, that the victim was previously druggeu. The savagery of the murder is shown by tue ternbie indignities to which the remains were subjected. The detectives at once set about unravelling the crime. They closely quesiioned Mr Connop in reference to his latest tenants, and irolll mm Hies learned that the house had been let a week or so prior to Christmas to a stranger. He called upon Mr Stamford, the owner, and expressed his willingness to pay his rent in advance, and he did not at the first interview give his name. He expressed himuell satis- fied with the house, merely asking that some slight repairs should be attended to, and he paid one week's rent, namely, 18s. The next day, however, lie called again at Mr Stamford's shop with a small paper bag, which he said contained cement to plaster up ti.e holes in the walls, which lie objected to. Some weeks later still he called upon Mr Connop, and said he would not take the house after all, as it was over-run with cockroaches. He said he would pay another week's rent in advance, and they might take a week's notice. He said he was an engineer's tool maker, and had been carrying on business in Sydney. He said he was really taking the house before lie wanted it, because lie had no one to put in it as yet; but he was awaiting the arrival of a lady who was going to act as his housekeeper. He would not fetch his furniture from Sydney till she came. Afterwards he told the clerk of the agent that it was his sister who would act as his housekeeper. Helore his second week had expired, he went to the agent and said he would take the house for four more weeks. hat about tile- cockroaches?" said the clerk. Oh, never mind," replied the man, I think I shall be able to kill them out." In his later interviews with the house agents, he gave the name of Drewin. He was at all times flashly dressed, and displayed a great deal of jewellery. A most rigid inspection of the premises was made by the detectives. What struck them at once was the ashes in each of the fire-places as though odds and ends had been burned. These were carefully examined. In one or two scraps of paper were found, and these formed a portion ot a letter written by a mother, in which relerence was made to a certain Nellie and to John. This was signed "Your affection- ate mother," but unfortunately the fire had burnt off the signature. Some further pieces of pjper were found, and these bore the lettering and trade mark of the firm of Frederick Tate and Co., baggage agents, 28, Market- street, Melbourne. These seemed a promising dis- covery, as Messrs Tate and Co. were well-known for- warding agents, and through them it might be found who the real consigners ot the stranger's effects to Windsor were. Messrs Tate and Co. went through their books and made every inquiry among their employes, and their clerks lcok-d up their books to see what steamers had arrived in Melbourne during the month of December, ihey could not, however, trace any goods which had been sent by them to No. 57, Andrew-street, Windsor. It might have been de- livered to some other address and reforwarded to Windsor, but of this they would have no trace. Baffled in this direction, the detectives sought to find those who had any connection with the nousc during the time of its occupancy by the late tenants, and in this they receivcu an important statement from Ernest Bueiler, who said that about eight days before Christmas a gcutlemrn cal!ed at his laundry, asking him to tend to 57, Andrew-street, to do some washing. He went to the house and saw the lady, stating his price as 2s 6d per dozen. Hhe said, On, that is too much. \Ve cannot pay more than 2s." He left the house without the ciothcs. The next day the gentlemen called again mdangriJy asked why they had notsentforthe .vashiiig. Hetoldtliemnottonoticewhat the lady had said, but to go up at once and get the linen and have it done before Christmas. He called again on the Christmas morning and angrily asked why it had not been sent, and told Bueiler to bring it next morning. Bueiler accordingly went and knocked Feveral times at the door, without getting any answer. Whilst be waited he saw the stranger walk up the street, and he delivered to him the clothes. "Drewin" took the packet through the doorway. The door was only opened suiffciently wide to admit the parcel, Drewin then paid the bill, showing a handful of gold and a roll of notes. The laundryman asked fer further custom, when the man replied that he was going to move from there to a house somewhere near by, and that he would send for him as soon as he wanted any more work done. The laundryman, how- ever, never saw him again, and never saw any more of the lady of the house. He says, although Drcwin had the appearance cf a gentleman, he certainly lacked the manner of one. The woman, however, he said, was undoubtedly a lady. She spoke to him quietly and kindly. There was something about her, however, which made him think she was miserable. Her brow was furrowed, and her eye looked sad. She appeared like one whose life was altogether unhappy. W lIen he saw her she was dressed in black, neatly and quietly. The detectives next turned their attention to two carriers, Harford and Featherstone, who removed some goods for a man who gave the name of Williams, from the Customs' Stores to Wrig cy's Free Stores. The luggage consisted of boxes and hampers branded with the initial \V." which had come ashore from one of the German mail boats. While Harford was puttng them on his dray "Williams" com- menced an altercation with his lady companion. He said something ta her about the amount of money she had cost him and how sorry he was now that he had brought her out and how glad he would be if he could send her back. Harford does not remember the exact words, but he gathered from the conversation that the two had just come from England by one of the German boats, that thev had travelled second-class, and that the voyage had cost them E70. About two months later Williams came to him and said he wanted his things removed again. The other man, Featherstone, says lie removed the goods from Wrig'iey's Store to 57, Andrew-street. The man gave his name as Williams. He had a lady with him whom he addressed as his wife, and spoke to most rudely. When the boxes were on the wagon Williams got up, and the lady desired to ride with him, but he refused to let her, and sent her ahead on a tramcar. Williams was chatty and pleasant with the driver. He had with him in a brass cage a canary, upon which he set great value. He said it was worth. He had had it for five years, and would not part with it for love or money. The police had now a connected narrative, identi- fyin" the man Drewin with the man Williams," and their next step was to ascertain more closely who Williams really was, and whether he was a recent arrival in the colony. 011 searching the passenger lists, they found that a Mr and Mrs Williams had landed from the steamship Kaiser W illiam II. They came to Melbourne by a special train from the ship, and then drove to the Federal Coffee Palace, where they engaged a room in the names of Mr and Mrs Williams. The day after he proceeded to Windsor, as it afterwards transpired, for the purpose of taking a house. On the 17th of December he went to the shop of Mr John Woods, High-street, St. Kilda, and bought cement, sand, a trowel, a broom, and a bucket. The goods were sent to 57. Andrew-street, in readi- ness, as it is now believed, for the fearful crime which he had already planned. Some of the passengers who were seen by the police said that Williams's wife had told them that her mother was a widow who kept a st tioner's shop at St. Helen's, near Liverpool, and that she had only married W illiams six weeks before they took passage from Southampton. The remainder of the story has already been told in cables. Williams dis- gusted everybody on board the steamer by his lying misrepresentation, by his ostentatious and over-bear- ing manner. His wife, on the other hand, was a general favorite, her quiet, lady-like manners en- deai-inff her to evervone. 1 lie attempt of Williams to blackmail the owners of the ship by stating that a valuable necklace, m-ortli ieloo, htcl been stolen, gave the I o'ice an in- dication as to his character. They were at first at a loss to find an adequate motive for the crime, but afterwards believed that the deceased had found out something respecting his past lie, or that lie formed an attachment to some other woman. The last theory seemed probable, as he had been seen walking with another woman not his wife. Against this, however, was the fa,ct that he seems to have set about arranging his plans for the murder immediately lie landed in Australia. Williams's household goods were sold by Messrs. Beauclianip Brothers. Among them were the broom, spade, trowel, and claw hammer which Williams had purchased from Mr John Woods, and which were un- doubtedly used in committing the murder and in digging the grave. Some of these had the cament d' 19 it adhering to them. There were PJ so some Oriental curios, ladies' clothing and. linen and among the books were two volumes of criinip-al life, and an edition of Foxe's Book oi Martyrs." The canary, which he valued at £ 30. vvaa old for X3. The total sum realised was LW.

The Exchange Telegraph Company has authority for stating that the Home Secretary has decided to release Mrs Osborne prior to her accouchement, which is expected shortly. The Bishop of Chester has intimated that, since coming to the diocese, he has considered it expedient for him to stand aloof from bazaars and such like undertakings, not because he disapproves of them, but because they hardly lie within the field of Epis- copal duty, and may perhaps even confuse the general public concept ion as to the true nature of a Bishop's office. Dr. Jayne thinks that assistance at such functions can best be undertaken by the influential laity, whose help is always most readily and efficiently given. The Select Committee, after an inquiry extending over three weeks, on Tuesday, passed the preamble of the bill promoted by the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company for the extension of their line to London.

Quainton Road, and terminate in a large station abutting on Ma.rylebone Road. The estimated cost of the new line is six millions. The project was before the Select Committee last session, when the opposition on the part of the Great Northern Railway Company and the conservers of Lord's Cricket Ground was very persistent, and the bill was thrown. out. The Llaiiauclno Iniproveireiit Commissioners on Monday considered complaints with reference to overcrowding during the summer months. Dr. Hugh Rees, the medical officer of health, wrote that in his opinion the only remedy was that the commissioners should encourage the erection of sanitary dwellings for the working classes.—Mr John Jones (Central- buildings) said there was no doubt there was a good deal of overcrowding, as the ordinary lodgings were too expensive for working men. It was agreed to instruct the inspector to report upon any alleged cases of overcrowding, the sanitary committee being entrusted to deal generally with the question.
