The wall was an old retsin- ing wall, unfit to withstand the pressure of earth placed against it, and the Surveyor-General | officers seemed to remember, now that the accident had occurred, that they had spoken to the contractor about the danger of the wall. If their wishes had not been carried out in respect to this work it was their duty to cause the work to cense, which was not done, nor were any active steps taken to prevent this. It would be for the jury to say whether or not such orders had been given.

NEWS BY THE AMERICAN MAIL. The following telegrams were crowded out of last night's Issue:-
BELGRADE, October 11th.
The Government has decided to ask the Skuptschina to pass a bill expelling ex-King Milan from Servia.
LONDON, October 11th.
The union between society and the stage is to be further strengthened by the accession of a queen to the ranks of distinguished dramatists. It must have been a great and most interesting gathering at the Grosvenor Hotel on Tuesday morning last, when "Carmen Sylva," the Queen of Roumaria, graciously read to Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and a select circle of intimate and literary friends a poetic tragedy written by her- self, founded on a romantic Roomanian legend. Of the story of the play and of the reading those who were present speak with undisguised enthusiasm, but the rest is silence. No arrange ments were made or even suggested for the production of the tragedy, and we have yet to wait for that most celebrated of first nights when Irving on the fall of the curtain shall lend forth the crowned dramatist.
M. Giffard, the inventor of the wonderful gun in which liquefied gas serves as a noiselem but deadly substitute for powder, is now in London. Speaking of his invention, he said: "I won't tell you of the experiments we have been making at the Paris gas company for nearly twenty years for the compression of steam and air and the Hquefaction of gas, but the Giffard gun is the outcome. The French Government bought the rights for the rise as a weapon of war and the Colts bought the rights to the patents for £200,000,
the rifle, of course, difers first and foremost from every gun in not requiring powder, Liquefied gas is one of the most powerful explosives known. If one drop enters the breeech of the gun when the trigger is pulled the bullet is sent with a force equal to 300-pound pressure to the square luck. By the tarn of a SCREW YOU CAN regulate the speed of the ballet, which leaves the barrel without noise, smoke, smell, heat or recoll
"There is no danger of explosion, and the substitute for gunpowder is infinitely cheaper, from 250 to 300 bullets belog fired off at the cost of a penny, Liquefied gas will revolutionize all the present theories concerning steam and other motive powers."
OCTOBER 19th.
At a conference of delegates and members of trade and labor organizations in London to con- sider the present condition of labor and to discuss measures for the relief of the unemployed during the coming wlater it was stated that the number of unemployed was greater than was generally supposed, and that the distress would Be very severe during the winter months unless something practical in the way of relief should be accomplished.
Apprehension was also expressed lest distrean might be taken advantage of by the socialists for the purpose of riot and disorder. - To prevent this a workmen's committee was appointed to organize the unemployed, to approach the Local Government Board on the subject of commencing public works and to dissuade men out of work from yielding to the advances of unprincipled @gitators.
