P OSS non 11RDIaRED ON THE TRAIN 1e. SHOCKING CHIME ON A LONDON to FIGHTING THE SAVAGES. Rill 1 heal'Work of the Niger Et minden Against Nape. A despatch from Bide gives addi- tional details concerning the advnnre of the columns of the Royal Niger Company's expedition against Iles Emir of Nupe. The figlltiug in the vicinity of Bide, the Foulah capital, which was stopped by darkness on the evening of January 20, Was resumed at day- light an tete morning of January 27. rlalf of the British forces, which con- sisted of 5110 troops, six Maxims, 00 mounted officers, and 900 carriers, were ordered to crass a ravine near the ridge on which, the troops of the Royal Niger's Company's expedition lead been stationed during the night. As they crossed the ravine it was noticed that Lhe Foulah scouts were watching. The Lroops accox•dingly formed in a half square, the guns following. The rear half of the force then closed on the front half, forming a complete square. The British forces advanced steadily, halting every 200 yards, for thepurpose of allowing the guns to keep pace. The massed forces of the enemy soon ap- peared, even covering the sugar slopes, constituting a splendid pano- rama in their semi -barbarous cos- tumes. The square of the Royal Niger Company's farces was soon complete- ly surrounded by 30,000 cavalry and footmen. 'The seduction from the es- thnate of 30,000 made on January 20 was due to tike death of two of the important Princes, rulers of the Mos- lem States, allies of the Mohamme- dan Emir of Nupe, and vassals like the Emir of Nupe dependent on the great MoJtaaivnedan Empire of Sokoto, When these two Princes and rulers wero killed by the shells of the Bri- ish their forces withdrew from the army of the Emtr of Nupe. The itoyal Niger troops continued to advance slowly until 1 hey reached a ridge commanding Bida. They then took un a strong position on the' re- verse at the slope, and continuer) to reconnoitre throughout the day, Their forces were constantly harassed by the Foulah sharpshooters, who daring- ly advanced to within a hundred yards of the square. Swarms of the enemies' °avulary charged on the Royal Niger farces, but they were badly shattered, owing to the e£feolive use of the Maxim guns. At 10.30 the artillery bombarded the town, six Maxim guns playing on the gradually retiring mass- es of the enemy. At noon the ad- vance company, of the troops entered Bide, which is a town three miles square. Bombarding of a portion of the town was resumed, however, last- ing until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when one-half of the Massa troops took possession of the town, Only 15 of the Houssa troops were wounded. The losses of the Foulah forces wero enormous. The brother of the Emir of Nupe and many of the Princes were severely wounded. by a shell which exploded among the members of the staff of the Emir, killing two men who weresanding within a toot of him at the time.

The .Lrain from Hounslow reached London. terminus at 8.30 u'elaok. After the passengers left a car cleaner, inspecting the carriages, funnil the mutilated body of a young withal] partially concealed beneath u scat in tt second-class compartment, The bu(y which Was still warns was dragged out with difficulty, fur the upper purl of the body had been fore- rel under the seat with great violence, 11. was found that the skull had been Crushed le by a temple of heavy blows. There was evidence of a severe strug- gle before the victim succumbed. There was no trace whatever of the murderer, ;rho must astonishing fea- ture of the crime was the fact that the train's longest run between sea - Huns was only five minutes, and no- body hod seen or heard anything to esti( e suspioion. THE YOUNG \\'OM;AN was immediately identified by her 01- ence,'w'ho was waiting at the station to meet her. She was Hiss Elizabeth Kemp, tubo was manager of a small hotel at Wahworlh. Sba bad been spending the afternoon with relatives in the Hounslow suburban district, six or seven miles from Che centre of the city. The fact which chiefly arouses public interest Is ghat such a crime could be committed in a railway com- partment in London itself, and. tete per- petrator escape without exciting sus- pielee, England still slings to the eumpartment system of railway travel for the very reuse] which 0011 this young woman her life. It is the object 00 every Englitel eau and woman to secure an unoccupied compartment, if possible, far a ratnvay journey, long ur short, The danger lrom thieves, ruf- fians, and maniacs is supposed to exist only on long runs. .1t is impossible talus far to assign even a motive for this tra- gedy. Nothing has been found con- nected with Inc murderer except his weapon, which was n. chemist's heavy pestle. This was discovered near the line at Putney about three utiles out. It was covered with blood, and adher- ing to it were one or two hair's Prem the girl's head, The victim's teething was badly torts and SM.1;AILLD W.ITII BLOOD, but it is hardly possible that the mur- derer attempted an outrage for, with the tine at his disposal it must have been necessary actually to kill the wo- man on leaving one station in order to crowd the body under the seat in time to leave the train at the next, 11 is not considered possible that the murderer remained in the carriage while the train stopped at any =e- state/1, for passenger's were likely to enter at any moment, It is notknown positively whether robbery was com- mitted, for, although the wuman'spiu'se was empty near the body, and no valu- ables were found in her Rocket, her dia- mond brooch remained tasteued at the throat. It is supposed she had quite a sum of money, but this is orally eon- jeeture. The police thus far aro quite nonplussed, although they are active- ly following iu variety of clues connect- ing passengers who left the train at. way stations with the crime, One the- ory is that an escaped female lunatic from Putney killed the girl. Although experience has shown that the con- struction of English railway carriages is especially favourable to the commit- ting of crimes of this kind, still there was no appliance its the compartment to enable any one attached to eager municate with the guard. The Eng- lish newspapers are clamouring for the adoption of the American style anal - way carriage as the surest preventive of such crunes, GARMENTS OF 1810.

The skirt had not even the elegance of length—it reach- ed the ankles, no further. Throe wide frills adorned the neck, Can anything be more ungraceful than the hat? It had the form of a hussar's headdress and also its name. Another hat, call- ed "Clorinda," was copied from the helmet worn by the Amazon, Clor.nda, when warring in the Holy Lancs, so beautifully described by lasso, Wo- men must have been pretty, indeed, in those days, not to look hideous in these fasbions. Short skirts were worn even at court during those days. They showed half the leg, which was encased in silken stockings and sandaled. shoes. The ]tail was dressed in Omits, imi- tating helmets, or in Chinese fashion, Turbans were also sometimes worn, and looked very pretty when the hair was dressed accordingly. When no longer worn by the young they became the favourite headdress oC grandmammas, and were tben laughed at by those who had worn chem before, Spencers, Carricks, wadded redingotes and Vitehoirns also elate from this period, which scams 1,000 years remov- ed from the °r'eciatt fashion of the diret'.Loire, All is MAU Suet ugly now, whereas all was eat, and lovely then.
