THE CLITHEROE TIMES—FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1889. THE MUZZLING ORDER.


Gallery of Ireland, for tho year 1887 has boon issued as a Farliamcntary paper. It shows that tbo number of free admissions to tho gallery was 80,859,21,070 persons having Tisitod tho gallery on Sundays. Tho number of now students admitted to copy^was 28, of whom 23 were ladies and five gentlemen. Alnbtig tbo pictures purchased for tbo general collection was a largo wooded landscape by Jacob Kuysdaol, with figures by T. do Koysor, for .which a sum of £3}^0^ was paid.' “ A Halt of Soldiera,” by Philip Wouverman, cost £207 15b. ; and a picture of “ Tbo Feast in Simon’s Iloaso; St. Mary Magdalen anointing tho head of Our Lord,” by Luca SignoroUl, cost £178 10s. In order to enrich tho National Historical and Portrait Gallery 11 portraits of celobrltios wore purchased, among thorn being a portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh (£110 Gs.), Viscount Mel­ bourne (£5), Thomas Moore (£50), John Wil­ son Crokor (£54 lOs.), Lawrence Sterne (£4)* Charles Lover (£15), and a drawing in Indian ink of Oliver Cromwell (£3). Among the donations received during tho year was a gift of £1000 from Sir E. Guloness to enable tho Board of Governors and Guardians to obtain a selection of mozrxitint portraits at tho sale of tho Chaloner Smith collection. Two Imndrcd portraits were purchased for £004. Lady O’Hagan presented a portrait in crayons of Lord O’Hagan, tlio Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and Sir C. Gavan Duffy presented a small plaster bust of Thomas Davis, modelled from life. It was resolved to introduce into tho National Historical and Portrait Gallery autograph writings of persons therein re­ presented from time to timo as opportunities offered. A collection of 20 autographs was presented by Mr. U. Green, containing, among others, autographs of Grattan, Currau, Plunkot, and O’Connell. An auto­ graph of ono of Mooro’a melodies, words and music in tbo author’s haudwriting, was purchased for £3.


BURNING niS PARENTS.


issuing from a small apartment In tho Uuo cloTocquo- villo. Tho door was broken open by tho neighbours with some trouble, and to tholr horror and amazement they found a young man making an auto-da-W of his parents. Tbo father and mother bad been thrown on their'bod by tlioir unnatural son, who had already collected a variety of infiammablo materials about tho couch, to which ho Iiad sot fire, and was trying, so farwith success, to hold tho couple down until they should bo burned to death. Tho youth o.xprcsscdtho utmost indignation at being thus disturbed In tho oxccution of his diabolical schomo, and crlod out that ho wanted to roast his parents like pigs. When ono of tho noighbours endeavoured to oust him from the room ho struck him violently in tho face ■with a knuckle-duster, and but for tbo inter­ vention of tbo police there is no knowing what mis­ chief ho might havo dono. Meanwhile tho llamos wero extinguished ■with considerable difficulty, and tho uufortunato coupio rescued from their dangerous position. They woro badly burned, but their injuries are not expected to bo attended with fatal results. Their son, a thorough vauneit, who has already seen tho interior of a gaol several times, was in tho habit of pestering them for money, and when none was lorthcomlng ho boat and belaboured thorn to such au extent that tho neighbours bad often to interfere. Ho is to bo tried for “ parricide ” and “ attempt to murder,” and it is to bo hopod that his unlucky parents will bo allowed to spend tho remaindor of their days in peaco and quietness.

CARELESS MINERS.


attending a fatal c.xplosion of gas in tho Pondwll pit of tho Brynmally Colliery, at Moss, on March 13 last, lias been issued as a Parliamentary paper. Tho explosion caused tho death of 20 porsonsi and the coroner’s jury in thoir verdict declared that tho acci­ dent was causod by a sudden fall of tho roof creating an outburst of gas which •was carried to a point in tlm mine where three men and a boy wero sup­ posed to bo sitting with open, lighted lamps. Mr. Thomas agrees with tho finding of tho jury, and says that the ovidonce scorns to point to tho conclu­ sion tliat tlio lamp of ono of tho men named Davis had been sent to bo lighted at or about tho place where it was found, and that another lamp had been unlocked and unscrewed to light that of Davis's, and while tbo lamps woro so unscrewed tho gas in tho pit came in contact with tho ilamo and exploded. The report also states that tho lamps of some of tho men killed woro found in an improper condition, and that in tho clothes of somo of tho mon wero found matches, tobacco, and lamp-koys. There was nothing in tho evidence, however, to show that at tho timo tho explosion occurred any ono iras usin, lucifor match or smoking tobacco. Url T loraas


says that thoro scorns to havo been a certain amount of laxity on tho part of tho management of Iho colliory in tlio enforcement of tho rules, and this, togctlior with tho over-conftdenco felt by tho men in tho safety of tho seam, induced to a considorablo oxtent tho carelessness shown by tho men in having lightod lamps unlocked and unscrcw’ed in a return air-way. Thero was no ground, however, for insti­ tuting a prosecution against any one for anythin; dono prior to tbo dato of tho explosion.


CIVIL .SERVICE PENSIONS. TIio bill introduced by tho Chancellor of tho Ex­


chequer and Mr. Jackson, tho Parliamentary Secretary to tho Treasury, to amend tlio Acts relating to pen­ sions, compensations, allowances, and gratuities to bo mado to persons in respect of having heldoffico in tho public service, has been printed. Tho proposals will affect almost every department in tho sorvico. Clause 1 repeals tho power given by former enactments to add a number of years, for profossional and other qualifications, to tbo period of sorvico of a Civil ser­ vant in computing tho amount of superannuation allow.anco to bo granted to him, and by Glauses 2 and 3 special annual allowances on tiio abolition of offices and allowances for special sorvlccs aro sought to bo abolished. In tho caso of tho abolition of an oflico tho samo altowauco or gratuity is to bo granted as might havo been granted it tho recipient bad retired from in­ firmity. Clauso 4 provides that any medical certifi- cato as to tho Incapacity of a person to discharge tbo duties of his situation must bo givcu by a medical practitioner named by tho Treasury; while under Clauso 5 superannuation allowances will havo to bo calculated on tho average amount of romuncration for tho five years next procoding tho dato of retire ment. Tho ago for compulsory retirement is fixed at G5, but it will bo competent to tho Treasury and tho head officer of a dopartment to certify that tho public sorvico requires that a Civil servant who has reacbod that ago should continue In offico for a term no exceeding two years, which term may bo renewed within threo months of its expiration by a certificate to a liko oiToct. No person, how- over, can in any circumstances romain in offico after attaining the ago of 09. Clauso 7 pro­ vides that where a person has served succcS' sively in two or more public offices the Treasury may, on bis retirement, award to liim a superannuation altowanco of tho samo amount as might havo been awarded to him if the wboio of his sorvico bad boon in tho offico held by him at thotlmo of his retirement. Tho pension or gratuity of .any poraou appointed to public cfficos after tho passing of tho bill is to bo regulated by tbo Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 18S7| oxcopt in tho caso of a person bolding a political, judicial, or diplomatic offico or a colonial governor­ ship. Finally, every por.son who between tho 17th of December, 1801, and Juno 4, 1870, entered the service of tho Government as workman in a Govommont establishment, and continues to servo therein until ho is si.xty yoars of ago or retires on tbo ground of infir­ mity, is, in rospcct of his service during any period ending on or boforo December 31, 1889, to bo doemod to havo served in tho permanent Civil Service of tho State.

IRISH NATIONAL GALLERY, Tbo report oC Mr. Doylo, Director of tho National


j n,e Fanciers’ Gasette says: Major Tennant being


out of town, -wo wero unable to obtain from him any information with regard to tbo execution muzrJing order. Wo therefore called upon Colonel Pearson, Acting-Commissioner of tho Metropolitan Police, who issued tho second muzxhng order now in force in London. “ I am glad to saD” o^^wyed Colonel Pearson, in reply to a question, “ that tho muzzling order is being very well observed; .and wo are having very.fow .di/BcuItios put in our way by­ dog owners. Tho great number o f . dogs seized aro strays, and up to tho present time there are only ono or two cases in which, prosecutions aro necessary. Our constables first-warn any owner leading an un­ muzzled dog; but if tho order is still disobeyed, wo then tako stops to enforco i t ” “ Havo tho police much difficulty in capturing tho dogs ? ’ asked our repreaentativo. “ In somo instances they havo, was tbo reply; “ and I am sorry to say a largo number of constables have been bitten, in somo cases Bovoroly. One wo sent off to M. Pasteur


a night or two ago for treatment, but tliat Is tho only caso where a known mad dog has bitten ono of our men. Plain-clotlies men detailed for this special duty aro provided with thick gloves as a pro­ tection, but uniformed men cannot go about in this fashion. This (pointing to a heavy iron-mounted


rod, provided with a rope) has boon sent to us f*’om Sheffield, where it is used to capture dogs ; but it is very cumbersome. ^Vo aro testing other arrange- monts of tho samo kind.” On asking Colonel Pearson for statistics as to number of c.iptures,it was explained that tho police aro always capturing stray dogs, and that the metropolitan police district is much wider than that of tho London County Council, so that tho figures given below apply to tbo wider area. These were supplied to us by tho chief inspoctor at Colonel Pearson’s request, and nro from tbo daily returns mado to Scotland-yard: Number of dogs seized by tho metropolitan police since tlio order was put in force, six days, August 15th to 20tb, 1840 ; number seized during July, 1889, under tho ordinary


Police Act, t.e., stray dogs, IGOG; number seized from Jan. Istto.TulyOlst, 1889, ll,475;numberscizcd during 1888, 17,143. It will bo seen from tho above figures that tho July average for six days was about 330, so that tho additional number seized during tho six days


ending Wednesday is upward of 1500. Tho arrango- mont of which Major Tennant spoko last week as to


keeping dogs 24 hours at tho pofico-stations has been carried out. Largo numbers aro boing reclaimed by tho owners during this period. Within tho London County Council district thoso not claimed aro then sent to tho Dogs’ Homo, but without tho six-milo radius aro taken charge of by tho votoriiiary inspec­ tors under tho Contagious Disoaso.s (Animals) Act, to


bo kept for six days longer. EASTWARD HO 1


A recently made announcement refers to what may


bo a revolution boforo many years havo elapsed in the existing conditions of tho Overland Houto to tho Far East. It appears that arrangements havo already


tho sea passage . . --------- only thrco-fiflbs of that now ncces.sary between Brin­


disi and tho porta in question. Tho ultiinato idea is, wo understand, says tho London and China Telc^raph^ to establish a powerful steamer service bftwoen tho


tw'o points, so as to diminish tho sea voyage to the oxtont specified, and shorten tborouto between London and tho Canal by over half a day. Tho railway journey will, it would appear, occupy six hours moro than that to Brindisi, but tho sea passage, besides being shorter by 200 miles, will, on account of its lying in a moro sholtorcd position than that now fol­ lowed, present moro inducements to thoso who dread tho crossing. As all Eastern residents know, tlio run across tho Mediterranean is very often tho worst portion of a passage out or homo. Brindisi is so singularly unattractive as a place to


visit that if tho choice bo given between it and Athens, which will lio in tho direct route to Nauplia, there is but little doubt wliich lino will bo preferred. It may bo quito possible that tho P. and 0. Company has no present intention of altering its proaont port of doparturo" and arrival, but this notwithfetanding, tlio Greek lino may prove a powerful rival to its interests. Passengers will simply avail themselves of tho servico beyond Port Said if tho talkcd-of facili­ ties aro given by tho now candidates for travelling patronage. Much will, of course, depend upon tho fares charged. Thoro is no reason to suppose that tho well-known company will fail to acknowledge tho auporiority of tho now route if that bo onco demonstrated, or hesitate, as soon as any existing engagements permit, to establish a servico fiom tho terminal port. This would bo impracticable at present, inasmuch as very great improve­ ments have to bo mado in tho harbour before largo steamers could use it. Tho Greek Govern­ ment however, has voted all nrcessary funds for this purpose in a liberal spirit, and tho works aro to bo immodiatcly put in hand. Tho railway extension, which is thus to divert to Grecian shores a portion of the traflichitherto so profitable to Italy, will bo about 350 miles in length, running from tho existing Tbes- salian lino to Athens and Nauplia. Tho w'ork is to bo completed within five years, and tho rolling stock is to consist of 30 locomotives, with 500 trucks and vans, and carriages to accommodate 2500 passengers, Arrangements as to tho soa portion of tho route havo not yet been mado, it being doubtless hoped that on satisfactory inducements being hold out to tho oxist- 'ng great steamer lines thoy will bo willing to make Nauplia a port of call if not an actual terminus. There is, in any event, plenty of timo to settle this matter, which will doubtless bo tsiken into caroful consideration by thoso interested long boforo action becomes necessary. A portion of tho project under notico consists in


tho construction of a very comploto system of narrow gauge extensions of tho main lino, thus enabling travellers to visit Sparta and tho numerous points of interest lying along tho west coast of tho Morea as far as Navarino. Tho charm ot being ablo to thus mako tho acquaintanco of Classic Greeco is ono that will appeal powerfully to a vast number of tho educated classes who form tho majority of passengers to and from tho East. Another extension, which has already boon commenced on the northern shore of tho Gulf of Coimotria, will ovcntually l>o continued to tho port of Valona, only six hours by steamer from Brindisi, and this mothod of entering tI)o ancient Icingdom will doubtless attract a good many travel­ lers. Tho whole country will, in short, benefit by this largo and sensiblo undertaking. luvo yoars will soon pass away, and it is nono too


early to begin considering w’liat arrangements this new development of railway enterprise will necesai- tato. Tho Nauplia lino may bo destined to becomo an important link in tho Continental Indian Rail­ way, 60 often proposed but still in embryo. That it must in somo way or another affect tho existing con­ ditions of the traflic between Euro>'0 and tho East is certain, however much opinions may differ as to tho


prociso changes it will bring about. Five years may SCO tho conditions of railway locomotion themselves rovolutionised, os recent experimental trials certainly point that way. Tn any caso, it may safely bo pre­ dicted that tho rising generation will witness develop­ ments of communication both ns to routosandmoving power not less romarkablo than the change ofTectod decades ago by tho now wi'll-worn and familiar “ Overland Route ” between Great Britain and lier Kastorn dependencies.

tho right lion, gentleman said; IVhat 1 rather hopols


that wo aro in advance of moat parts as to tho proportion of our cottages that have efficimt


trardens attached to them. - Allotments things, but efficient gardens of proper size aro bo^r a groat deal. Why, in tho flrst place, if an allct- mont is half a milo or a milo from a labounpg man’s house, that is a distance for him or his wifoto travel, causing an addition to labour and an oxixn- dituro of timo. Again, what grows in tho garden is moro secure than what is in tho allotment, because thoro is somobody to look after it, and tho consequence of that is, so far os I havo scon, allot­ ments aro mado useful for vegetables, but allotments for fruit and flowers aro very raro indeed. Referring to flower and fruit growing, Mr. Gladstone said : As to flowers, Mr. Bingloy Bruce, who has boen taking .a useful and active part in regard to tiiem, in some criticisms, says, in tbo first place, that a very groat excess is growing up in tho uso of fiowers con­ nected witli funerals. I am not suro that there iSj not some truth in that, at any rato among tho! wealthy people. I am not speaking of tho bcautifid custom of growing flowers on tho graves, but cram­ ming with flowers graves that aro going to Iw filled up. I do not think that is very wise. I wud to say something about fruit, becauso that is a voij" important industry, and an industry growi^ continually more and moro important, as 1 will sbo’ you. In tho year 1839 thoro wero about 90,1^® acres of fruit trees in this country, in tho 1872 thoy bad grown to 172,000 acres, a n d ^ / aro now estimated at 214,000 acres. That !s considerable acreage indeed, and I doubt wbothe^* includes all tho small gardens of tho country.^. people began to bo alarmed, and a gentieman/o; name of Mott has publisbed an articlo entitled Fruit-growing Folly.” In this articio ho things which are no doubt sensiblo enougbjb'J J not beliovo that fruit-growing is a folly, ifioac no


says is that tho farmers havo been too casU/ into it. I havo lieard many criticisms> upon tiio British farmer, but I must say that among Ins lauiis I never heard that going in too rapidly forne^’ “ “ "B®


was conspicuous, and I doubt very much thero is any ground for this charge. Mr. Mott attacks particularly tbo cultivation of apples. ;Vh« does no say about apples ? About 8d. a pound la wnat no considers a roasonablo price. Ho aeis what aro your apples: fivo-slxtlia of them lue w’ater, aud therefore ho considered that your apple


costs


si-v times 8d., that is to say 4s. tho pound.^bich seems rather dear for apples. When I read this criticism of Mr. Mott’s I began to tliink, Is there nothing clso besides apples tliat aro mado up of water, or con­ siderably mado of water ? Gentlenieo, tho last timo I was weighed I scaled 12st 41b—I-flh a stono, that


comes to, I think, 1721b. Now I kn®” ; very well, from what I havo read in books of ftU^kority, that out of that 1721b something liko 1201b ir water—and that wliich is my case, and I am of tvS fiohd stuff as other people—I believe is tho samo with yon* and I bshovo tlio gentleman wlio wroto those articles, Mr. Alott himself, is three-fourths of IJm probably water. Apples may havo a little moro water than wo have, and turnips have a little more than apples; but still they aro very useful things. A further con­ tention is that you can only have an increaso in tho consumption of fruit by selling it at a lower prlco; tho demand otherwise, except for tho rich pooplo, which is a small jiortion, is a fixed demand, and you cannot o.xtond k- Lot^ us see how far thero is any truth in that. Is it a fact th«it thoro is no power for increasing the demand for fruit in this country ? I say there is a very groat power of increasing it, and it is growing coatioually, and I will givo you a proof of tho increase. In 1830 thoro wero 71,000 buslicis of apples imperted into this country. In 1809 that had grown from 71,000 to 491,000, aud in 1SS8 that had grown from 491,000 to 3,800,000 bushels of apples, of tho value, if I ro- momber rightly, of £500,000, or something of that kind. I observe that that increaso has boon almost all in foroifin apples. You sco that tho importation has increased moro than thirty-fold, but wo liavo no such groat increaso in tbo growth of domestic apples. I want tho Englishman to rouse his own spirit aud compete freely with tho foreigner wliero ho can, and ho can do a great deal in this. Tho right lion, gentleman pointed out that the number of people wanting luxuries, and Iiaving means to pay for them, was rapidly increasing in this country, and tho demand and tho national appetite could always bo relied upon. An eminent authority had shown that on tho average of tbo last 10 years fruit growing paid better than any other agricultural industry. In tho manufacture of jam alono 00,000 persons woro employed in this country, and hero thero was room for enormous development owing to tho great advan­ tage of cheap sugar. Wo now had tho cheapest sugar nn'd the best sugar market in tho world. When they heard of sugar duties, conventions, and bountie.s upon sugar in foreign countries, ho advised them to look very sharp into all plans and schemes which so med to go in tho direction of making sugar dearer, for it would bo not only tho narowing of thoir com­ forts, but tho restriction of thoir trado, and tho diminution of employment. This was not to re- volutioniso British agriculture, which must still depeud upon tho groat staple food of mankind ; but though mankind could not live upon jam, jam was a


very good thing. A A tA 'l 'R IM O N IA L SW IN D L E R .


A matrimonial agent at Lovallois-Porret, a suburb


of Paris, who had a special lino of business, has just decamped with tho money of numerous victims. He had as his clients nono but plain or ugly damsels with dowric.**, who found a difficulty in “ getting off ” by reason of tlieir lack of personal attractions, for


althougli tho great bulk of Gauls havo a strong par- tiaiitv for dots, they do not caro to be tied for life to a lady who has nothing to recommend lior but her lucre. The absconding undertaker of weddings had a neat way of his own of reconciling intending bride­ grooms to tho prospect of doublc-blcsscdnoas with dames whoso features woro the reverse of fair, at the same timo that ho enabled his lady-clients to change thoir names and to find apparently eligible partners. Ho simply had a select stock of private friends, or rather confuderatos, who took over tho ladies and largo lumps of their dowries, and then after a few weeks or months decamped most ignominiously from tho spouses whom thoy had promised to love and cherish. Tho agent, of courso, received largo commissions from the ladies and, moreover, obtained sums of money from tho fugitive husbands. Tho system worked beautifully for a time—so far as tho agent and his confederates were concerned. Money rolled into his offico, until ono day lately ho was sud­ denly confronted by somo of his outraged clients, who, after sad experience, had seen through his “ Httln game.” Theso ladies told their stories, complained that bad characters had been foisted upon them as husbands, and tlireatencd to tako proceedings against their victimiser. Tho agent replied in his blandest manner that ho could not guarantee exemplary husbands whoso conduct would bo such as to keep tho courso of married Rfo for over smooth and pleasant. When hia clients, however, wont away tho matrimonial operator, romomberlng tho threats about legal proceedings, figuratively speaking hauled down his coloiir.s, or rather his signboard and brass plato, shut up liis shop, and disappeared, most probably to foreign parts.
