They had trucks and derricksami all the paraplualis for gather ing hooker-dewa cannon, rifles, cartridge bel, heburts, clothing, and the vast stores of abandoned ) arosan manterial left in the truck në a contest; and to send it back necha salvage depot.

Ching over the plaut today these was an opportunity to see the remarkable details of this salvage. The wreckage of the banlefeld, is wily one of the Sources of this salvage explained our esort, but it is the greatest Bottree. As men spring jum aes tion, they throw asi-le everything not absolutely essential. There

SCENE AT A BISHOP'S HOUSE. The Bishop of Kensington, who residea in Gloucester-ter- race, Hyde Park, attended at the Marylebone Police Court recently to support a summons against Edgar A. J. Çakley, the husband of one of his servants, for using threatening, abusive, and insult- Ling words and behaviour, where

by a breach of the peace might have been caused. The defend- ant failed to appear, and, with the consent of the Bishop, the unimons was adjourned sine die. When applying for the summons, the Bishop stated that the defend, ant caused a great disturbance at his house, and attracted a crowd of children by shouting that he would placard the house and the railings with denunciations of him for harbouring his wife.
