IRISH VISITOR RETURNING FROM MORTE CARLO ARRESTED!"

Calcutta, August çih,

A special telegram to the Empire states that a sensational discovery has been made by the police at Marseilles. A Mr. and Mr. Goold were arrenied while on their way to London, add in one of their trunks were found the

mutilated remains of a woman named Levin, who recently disappeared from 'Monte Carlo which cannot be found, and it is suggested The victim had a quantity of valuable jewellery, that she was murdered for the sake of her jewels.

...

Mr. Goold and his wife have been charged with murder and robbery. They deny all know. ledge of the crime. Mr. Goold is of gentle manly appearance, and is said to be connected with an Irish baronet.

THE COMET.

It is not everybody who cares to get up at 4 a.m. or so. But those who do, and if the morning be clear and starlit, have a good opportunity of seeing the new visitant to the realms of this solar system. Perhaps the best way for the inexperienced observer is to look out for the rise over the eastern horizon of Orion, whose three stars in a straight fins make that the most esily recognised of all the constellations. After Orion is well above the horizon the eye should travel about thirty-five | degrees to the north of east, the left band. when the tail of the camat may be descried PRAYA BAST, near East Point.

A home paper gives a reference to the comet, which of course is nothing like the giant of 1858 and 1 61. For a real big thing in Comets, we shall have to wait three years | more..
