(FROM OUR ON CORRESPONDENT.)
September 1st 1893.. The native community has been stirred by the dccurrence of another murder, this time at the village of Tunglin, a few miles outside the' East Gate of the city. The tragedy was the result of a quarrel between two young men over a girl to whom both were playing the part of lover. The murderer hails from Yanchow. He attacked his rival with a reaping-koifs and cat quea ksion went out yesterday to investigate the a grest gash across his abdomen. The Shang- matter and the criminal anived in the city last evening, handcuffed and led by an iron chain fastened about his neck. He appeared to be a very inoffensive sort of a fellow and is well- spoken of by his neighbours, while the murdered man was diingreeable and disliked by evory- body.
A similar affray, also prompted by jealousy, happened at a theatre in the, lower part of the city a few days ago. The victims died at Christ's Hospital yesterday, and an inquest was held under the supervision of the Kiangning Kríam this morning.

The attendance on the ground is enormous, the greatest interest belpg taken in the match,
W. G. Grace, captain of the home team, won The toss and elected to bat; Grace himself and Stoddart being the first to go to the wickets. The. bowling was entrusted to Torner and Trumble. The wicket being very fast, it was not long before the batsmen commenced to score. They soon got thoroughly set. Troit, Bruce, M'Leod, and Gifco were tied with the ball; but ras continued to come, and Tareer and Trumbla went on again. Stoddart gave two difficult chances. The fielding of the Australians is brilliant, especially that of Grabam.
The failure of the Australians to score is inexcusable, as the wicket was playing very hue. Being is a minority of 391 runs, the Australians had to follow on, Banaermen and Bruce opening the second innings to the bowling of Meld and Briggs. The batsmen scored rapidly, 50 runs being made in halfan hour. Bruce was smartly taken in the slips by Jackson when the scorlag board registered 54. Bannerman' and Giffen mado a fine stand. Frequent changes in the bowling were resorted to, Jackson, among others, being tried. A hundred runs were raised in an hour and a quarter, but when the score stood at 116 Banuman sided a ball to mid-on, which was taken by Read. Trott filled the vacant crease, he and Gläfen playing out time. The score stood at two wickets for 158 runs.
