three or four years. RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. FIFTY LIVES LOST. The Press Association learns that it has been intimated to the officials who will be carliest and most intimately concerned, that if the Queen be spared to complete the 60th year of her reign it is intended to mark the occasion by celebrations in the nature of those in the Jubilee year. Her Majesty enters next month on her 60th year of sovereignty, and is in excellent health; in fact, in the opinion of those best able to judge, the Queen returned from her last sojourn abroad stronger and better than she has appeared to be during the past A terrible accident occurred at Victoria (B.C.), yesterday, about fifty people being drowned through the collapse of a bridge.
The victims were principally visitors from the United States, who 'had come to Columbia in connection with the Queen's birthdey celebration. Among the drowned is Judge O' Reilly, of Victoria. BRITISH AND SILESIAN COAL. Reporting to Lord Salisbury on the reduction of the ports railway of tariff Stettin for and coal from Swinemunde, the Silesian Consul mines Powell to says: If British coal rose by 1s. 6d.
or even 1s. per ton, it would be impossible for it to compete with the Silesian cool. It should also not be forgotten that the latter are working six days in the week, whilst the former do not work more than about three. It is difficult as yet to predict what the result of the reduced tariff will have upon the trade here, but cne thing seems to be without doubt, and that is, that both the mine owners as well as the miners concerned in Great Britain should endeavour to keep the price low in order not to lose a market which it takes more than 500,000 tons yearly to supply. Once lost the position will be difficult to regain.
ACTION BY THE CREWE CORPORATION. At Nantwich County Court, yesterday, Judge Yate Lee, sitting for the first time since his appointment, was engaged for several hours in hearing an action brought by the Crewe Corporation against Messrs. Thomas Percival, Ralph Percival, Joseph Farmer Milne, James Walker Yates, John Charles Bilington, Henry Richard Bowers, and Charles King Griffiths, the trustees of the Gresty Estate, Crewe. The amount in dispute was £33, which the Corporation expended in connection with certain improvements to a sewer adjoining the defendants' property. Mr.
Eldon Bankes was for the Corporation, and Dr. Pankhurst defended. Mr. Bankes, in opening, said that the point involved in the case was one of very great importance, because it raised the question of the rights of the Corporation in districts recently incorporated in the borough. The street in respect of which the action was brought was formerly in the township of Church Coppenhall, in the Nantwich Rural Sanitary Authority's district, but in 1892 it was transferred under a provisional order, together with outlying districts, to the borough of Crewe.
'The Corporation, finding that the sewer was not satisfactory, served notice on the owners to resewer it. This was not done, and the Corporation did the work, and charged the cost upon the owners, whose repudiation of liability was founded on a point of law, that the Crewe Corporation had no right to proceed under section 150 of the Public Health Act, the sewer, which had been in use over twenty years, having been passed by the former sanitary authority. Dr. Pankhurst said it was only when the Corporation found itself grappling with a new area, and it was considered necessary to alter the whole system of sewerage, that it was found necessary to do the work in was given for the Corporation, with costs.

ANOTHER CONDEMNED PRISONER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE, MRS. DYER ENDEAVOURS TO STRANGLE HERSELF. The Press Association telegraphs that early yesterday morning Mrs. Dyer made a determined, though unsuccessful, attempt to commit suicide by strangling herself in her cell in Newgate Gaol. It seems that while in bed under the surveillance of two female warders, one of the latter noticed a peculiar movement of Mrs.
Dyer's arms beneath the bedclothes, and nearer inspection revealed the fact that the condemned woman had artfully contrived to twist her handkerchief like a rope round her neck in such manner that strangulation must have ensued shortly. An alarm bell was sounded, and Chief-Warder Scott with other officers, hastened to the cell, and the handkerchief was taken from Dyer's neck, and she was not permitted to have it again permanently. The matter was duly reported to the governor of Holloway Prison, and in the course of the day he, together with Dr. Pitcairn, the medical officer, visited Mrs. Dyer.
Shortly afterwards Mrs. Dyer stated at the time of her trial that she would never walk to the gallows, but would destroy herself before the lay fixed for the execution. Every precaution is taken to prevent any further attempt at suicide, and she wears her hair all loose, having been deprived of her hairpins. CONDEMNED PRISONERS AT NEWGATE, The condemned men Milsom and Fowler, especially the latter, appear to await their fate in Newgate with indifference, but Seaman, the Whitechapel double murderer, is very ill, being under constant medical care.

A FATAL JUMP, About seven o'clock this morning a youth, 16 years of age, named Sampson Clarke, who lived at 61, Keeling's-lane, went to a field at Birches Head for the purpose of bringing al horse, the property of Mr Rutter, Paddock's-court.
When he reached the field he caught the horse, and climbed a rail to aid him to mount the horse. The animal would not come close to the rail, and Clarke jumped. He, however, leaped too far, and falling on his head he expired almost immediately. POISONOUS SARDINES A PECULIAR CASE AT BURSLEM. Mr.
and Mrs. George Bates, of the Burslem tery Lodge, have had a very unpleasant experience of the dangers occasionally lurking in tinned goods. They sat down to tea yesterday with their family and a visitor, and indulged in a few sardines, with the result that half an hour afterwards Mrs. Bates suddenly became sick. Almost at the same time her husband, and their guest (a young lady) also became unwell, the two members of the family, who had not partaken of the sardines, being unaffected.
'There was no doubt as to the cause of the sudden attacks and Drs. Aspinall and Alcock were immediately called in. They administered emetics, but the three patients are not yet entirely recovered. Mrs. Bates in particular has been seriously ill.
The remaining contents of the tin had been thrown away, but Dr. King Alcock gives his opinion that the poisonous symptoms were not metallic, but were due to the formation of what is called ptomaine- a putrefaction liable to set in any kind of animal food, and which in this instance might have been present before the fish were tinned. A similar occurrence, it may be remembered, took place some time ago, at Alton, when a number of people were 'siezed with illness after having partaken of part of a pie. In this case fortunately for the parties affected, they had no more sardine each. STOKE BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

THE CHURCH'S RULE AND PUBLIC CATECHISING. The Rev. E. A. GRE (Sneyd) read a paper entitled "How can the Church's rule of public catechising be best combined with Sunday school work pointed out that one of the rubrics in connection with the public teaching of the Catechism, made it neceesary that the pastor of the parish should do that part of the religious work himself.
'The queation, then, was as to how this rubric could be obeyed while still holding Sunday schools? Three plans were generally practised. One of these WAS the holding of children's services once month, but this WAS not sufficient, because it did not obey the Church's rule. There must be a weekly catechism. There was the plan of 1 taking the children to a short service in church after the Sunday school and examined in catechism after having been prepared. When this plan was carried out and the children were also taken to the celebrations and holy days, the rule was obeyed loyally.
But he contended that the best way way to disestablish the afternoon Sunday school altogether and in its place adopting the famous method of St. Sulpice, which was now being taken up in parieh after parish with excellent effect. The paper then went on to explain in detail the system which WAS being carried out at Holy Trinity, Sneyd. Mr. J.
Jones (St. George's, Newcastle) read a paper on the same cubject. He did not consider that the rubric ordered the curate or pastor to teach the children, but to instruct the teachers. He did not think that in this respect the Church made enough of the laity. In the discussion which took place on the subject afterwards, Revs.
S. SALT, H. R. COLDHAM, W. BOOTHBY, A.
M. FORSBROOK, Messrs. T. HAMMERSLEY and W. AUSTIN took part.
ELDER SCHOLARS AND THEIR ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH. A paper on the subject of Elder Scholars and their attendance at was read by the Rev. H. R. COLDHAM (Christ Church, Tunstall).
The question which troubled both the clergy and the Sunday school teachers was the way in which the older scholars, 88 soon as they left Sunday school, became irregular in their church attendance, and the difficulties of bringing about A remedy. He did not think they could it by compulsion. They should try to train the church, scholars lead to them wish to and that desire it to was go 8 regularly privilege to see join in the public worship and a distinct loss to be absent, to inspire them with an enthusiastic keenness for the services of. the Church. If this was done he ventured to think more of those trained in the Sunday schools would be found regular attendants at worship after they were too old to be scholars.
The Revs. S. SALT, W. S. KNOWLES, M.
GRAHAM, J. K. POWELL, E. A. Gee, and Mr.
N. EMeRY having commented upon the paper, the festival conoluded by a vote of thanks to the chairman and the pronunciation of the Benediction. DERVISH DESERTERS. INTERESTING INCIDENT IN A CAVALRY SKIRMISH. Reuter's special correspondent at Wady Halfa on Tuesday wrote -Two Dervish boatmen have rived at Akasheh, having deserted from the enemy.
They travelled along the west bank of the Nile. A Dervish black bugler, formerly in the old Egyptian Army, who came into camp some days ago, has undergone examination. He relates an interesting incident which occurred in the cavalry engagement near Akasheh on the 1st of May. During the action, he says, he was holding the horse of Hammuda, Dervish leader. Noticing that the Dervishes were preparing to retire before the Egyptian cavalry, he sounded the old Egyptian charge in the hope that Major Burn Murdoch's men would advance and complete the rout.
This greatly incensed Hammuda, who drew a knife and tried to cut off the bugler's hands. The incident serves to show the temper of the Soudanese troops serving with the Dervishes. StakiN, -It is reported that a cordon of cavalry has been drawn round Berber to prevent the people going ont. The Emir of Kokreb, where 10 per cent ad valorem duty is collected on all goods passing through, has appealed to Osman Digna either to re-open trade or summon him to Omdurman Owing to the famine caused by the scarcity of provisions, Osman Digna on leaving for his camp at Adarama disbanded his men and ordered them to cultivate the land pending his return.

Play was resumed at Brighton this morning, in charmingly fine weather, at 11 40. At that time Bean (not cut, 64) and Barlow (not out, continued the second innings of Sussex, in which, after following on against a minority of 217 overnight, 130 runs had been scored without loss. Roberts and Murch were the bowlers. Marlow at once hit Roberts for two 4's, which brought his score level with that of his partner. Then the game proceeded in a steady, ineventful fashion, neither batsmen taking any risks.
Occasionally there was a 4 hit, but seldom. The 150 went up at a quarter past twelve, and 160 ten minutes later. The batsmen scored faster when set, and Bean was cheered on completing his 100 with the aggregate at 186. Two hundred appeared just before one, but at 2 11 Bean was caught at the wicket. He had batted two hours and fifty minutes and hit seventeen With Ranjitsinhji in Marlow made his 100, and then the arrears were hit off by 1 15.
At 237 Marlow was caught at point for a brilliant but slightly fortunate score of 108, in which were eighteen boundary hits. Ranjitsinhji and Murdoch were in at luncheon time. The game was not resumed until three o'clock owing to one of the umpires meeting with an injury. Ranjitsinhji hit cut, and completed his 50 in an hour. With the full score at 284, runs continued to come steadily, chietly by the Indian Prince.
Altogether the partnership of the third yielded 76 runs before Murdoch was smartly caught at mit-on at 313, his proportion being only 23, made in just seventy minutes- Newham the next comer, and he caught Roberts for 4. Wrathall was put on to bowl, but was not a success, Newham hitting him for three 4'8. Ranjitainhji became careful as he approached his 100, and he was a long time in the nineties, but he got it just before 30 amidst loud applause. GLOUCESTER. 1st Innings.

DERBYSHIRE. With the prospect of a full day's cricket, a fair company assembled at Southampton this morning. The weather was fine, though windy, and the wicket still in good order. On Tuesday Derbyshire had gained a lead of 35 in the first innings, but Hampshire scoring 42 for one wicket were runs on with nine wickets to fall. Ward (13) and Barton (10) continued the innings at 11 35.
Bagshaw and Davidson bowled, and Ward and Webb were soon dismissed, three wickets being down at 51, but then Barton and Bacon made capital stand, adding 46 in flity minutes, Bacon leaving at 95. Six wickets were down for 113, and Lacey and Soar stayed together thirty minutes, they only added 29. Lacey's thirty was an admirable display. Soar and Baldwin stayed till lunch. After lunch Scar and Baldwin hit freely, and added 22 in fifteen minutes, before Baldwin was out lex before wicket at 168, for a most useful 18, out of 34 for the partnership.
He had just previously been missed by Walker. Wootton was out at 177, and 2 runs later Bencraft attempted a short run, and Soar was out, the innings closing at 3 30, Derby shire require 145 runs to win. HAMPSHIRE. let innings. 2nd innings.
