A Helifax despatch Gaya : A terrible

M 10 o'clock tesnight by whioh four or five
men were drowned and aeveral others had'
a thrilling escape front depth. A. large
gang of men were engaged in waloedieg
cargo of coal brought from Sydney by the
,atiseneer Oakdene, and were placing it in a
large shed lately erectea on the wharf.
Eight men were in one pert of the shed
working on top of the hop, trimming the
CO al as it wee unlomded from the eteamerf
when eaddenly, without moment's warn-
ing, largemieoe of the wharf beneath the
cosi caved in with a crash.
The men at work felt the ooal sinking

...three of them succeeded in getting out,
they being nearest to the door, but the
other five are believed to have gone down
with the coal, wed& dieappeared out of
Bight below the water. The three known to

young colored man named Johnem, who
WAS on top of the beep, says he just had
time to grasp a beam when the coal went
from under hie feet, carrying his shovel
with it. He ewung himself along to the
door and dropped on to the wharf
alongside of the two other mon
.who had escaped in a somewhat
similar way. These three state that
they saw at least three of the others
go down with the heap, and as the other
two cannot be found it is thought certeln

The five men lost itre : Nicholas Bald-

Power was foremel of the gang. Wise and
Brown were young men, the latter being
znarried. It is imposeible. owing to the
darkness, to make any effort to get the
bodies out of the water, and it is probable
eaone of them will be found till the work of

De. W. R. Lyddon was at one tines the
most popular physician in Feversham. He
had a largo practice and was said to enjoy
a correspondingly large income He drove
a dog cart and a variety of other vehicles
supposed to be the ,saisompaniment and
guarantee:of success. He also had a pretty
wife, a charming woman with
au attractive personality and a
magnetic influence. She led in the eensial
entertainments among her neighbors, WPS
prominent in the amateur theatrioale that
every winter form SO attractive a feature in
this old Kentish town, road formed the
centre of a brilliant coterie. Mrs. Lyddon,
although to all appetirances a happy wife,
and looked upon with envy as snob by all
her woman adquaintancee, was detained to
meet her fate in her husband's step.
brother, whom Dr. Lyddon brought down
from London one evening and introdimed
n young medicel student with ell the
honors of hie alma mater froth upon him.
The embodiment of a peculiar type of
manly beauty, Charles Lyddon was not
long reeking a favorable impression upon
the Kentieh matron. It was in the foouree
of these visits that long strolls were taken
by the banks of the sleepy Swale; at other
times the lovers wandered through
the eaboing aisles of the old
, abbey, Where lie the remains of the royal
founder, Hive Stephen, whose "breeches
cost him but a crown"; while on other
days the dootat's dog -cart would be utilized
for journeys through the leafy hop fields.
Progressing thus favorably with the wife,
Charles begae to make himself solid"
with the husband, and by dint of much
persuasion brought the latter to agree to
a sale of his practice, poeseesion to be
given on hie death. Insignificant and
harmless es this provision seemed to the
doctor, the agreement containing it proved
to be the unfortunate men's death warrant,
as no sooner was it signed than his step-
brother, with devilish malignity, begen to
plan the orime that he has just succeeded
in accomplishing. Not long after the pros-
perous and, until then, exceptionally heelthy
imedical men had put his name to the fatal
document he was seized with it mysterious
illness, which, however, Charles pretended
to thoroughly understand and conse-
quently took f all charge of the treatment.
His remedies, however, seemed to aggravate
inhut- them alleviate the melady, as Dr.
Lyddon grew steadily worse. Not content
with this deliberate assault on his brether's
life, Charles did not attempt to disguise the
hatred and lust that filled his heart. In
fact he treated him with such cruelty that
Mrs. Lyddon was repeatedly heard by the
servants to exclaim " Don't hit him in
the face, Charley," "For God'a sake don't
strike him," "He won't anger you again,
dear," and similar adjurations.
When the lest hour arrived and the
strong constitution of the physician had
been completely broken down by the pow -
erica drugs ruthlessly administered to him,
and his heart had been broken as the
Modems facts of his wife's falsehood and
hie brother's treachery were revealed to
him, Charles looked himself in the room
with his victim and preceed to perform the
last act in the tragedy. Wiaat then oc-
curred is only known to heaven and the
occupants of the fatal chamber.
It was the finding of an emptied bottle
of morphine in an adjacent lumber room
that first aroused suspicion and led to the
arrest of Charles Lyddon. Then came the
story of tho horrible detitile as they were
sworn to by different witnesses before the
coroner's jury, which was not long in find-
ing a verdiot of guilty.
Then there was a soene of wild excite-
ment, such 39 is seldom witnessed in quiet
English provincial towns. The crowd that
had gathered yesterday around the town

2. That courtesy behind the counter wins

4. Never attempt to instruct a cus-

For the Wcwierful Success
of Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the Most Popular and
Most Extensively Sold
Medicine in America.

I medicinal merit, which it positively
demonstrates when fairly tried.

only medicine of which " heo
Doses One Dollar" can truly be said.
3It is prepared by a Combination,
Proportion and Process Peculiar to
Itself, unknown to other preparations,
and by which all the medicinal value of
the various ingredients is secured.
4It effects remarkable cures where
other medicines have utterly failed
to do any good whatever.
tr. It is a modern medicine, originated
;h0 by experienced pharmacists, and
still carefully prepared under their per-
sonal supervision.
6It is clean, clear and beautiful in
appearance, pleasant to take, and
always of equal strength.
7It has proven itself to be positiyely
1 the best remedy for scrofula and all
blood disorders, and the best tonic tor
that tired feeling, loss of appetite and
general debility.
8It is unequalled for caring dyspepsia,
sick headache, biliousness, catarrh,
rheumatism and all diseases of the kid-
neys and liver.
9It has a good name at home, there
being more of Hood's Sarsaparilla
sold in Lowell, Mass., where it is made,
than of all other sarsaparillas and blood
purifiers combined.

V honest, and thoroughly backed up
by the medicine itself.
