At Lsmbeth Police Court yesterday Elizabeth Cater, 18. a robust-looking girl, attired in the imitation of Italian costume well~known in connection with organ- grindere. was charged before Mr. Saunders with playing a piano organ in Lambeth walk to the annoyance of John See. The complainant said his wife was ill and the organ playing distressed her. He asked the prisoner to go away, but she took no notice and continued playing. She then moved a little further oi! and resumed the anppyapce. Mr. Saunders said the prisoner had no right to play the organ it people objected toit. He would, however, discharge her upon her promising not toeot so again. The grieoner gave the required promise endwaa isoherged.

A later despateh says. re arding the terry boat disaster. that when t e boat had almost reached the centre of the river. which was swollen by recent rains, Thomas Fox. sitting in the stern. saw three pro- pellers rapidly approaching from the south. He cal ed to the oarsmen to stop, but they failed to do so. and the pro ller nearest the south shore passed wit in a few feet of the bow of the skid. The latter. which was overcrowded. having its gun- wales nearly even with the water. passed the first swell in safety. but on reaching the second ship considerable water. The third swell a most filled the beat and the occupants became greatly alarmed. The men, aware that the boat would sink. called for assistance. and one of the propellers, the Cora. turned around, but the others continued their course. The Cora steamed slowly towards the skid‘. but before she could reach it the boat capsized, and all the men were struggling ‘in the water. Thomas Fox. being unable to swim. grasped the keel of the chili, and called to his associates to follow his exam- . 81:. Several did so, and held on until the ra drew alongside. On board the Cora a boy named Pickett displayed great bravery and presence of mind, calling on the men who were hanging on to the capsized shit? to hold fast. He threw life preservers right and left to their less fortunate com- panions. and bracing himself against the side of the tug pulled in John Lever. Several others were then secured. A number of row- boats soon reached the scene and picked up four men, Fleming Tremble being almost dead. It is agreed that the propellers had no lights on their boats, and the tugs Cora, Hattie M. Bette and Linda M. Newlin were racing when the accident occurred. Capt. Robinson. oi the Bette, and the captain of the Newlin when asked why they did not stop, said they did not hear cries for assist- ance and did not learn of the accident until an hour after. At 11 o’clock last night the only body recovered was that of Henry Leroy. Garrett Reilly, a one-armed man. was saved by Fox. who grasped him by the collar when sinking and pushed him towards the skifi. Referring to the recent statements in our columns on the subject of the gradual fall, in recent years, of the great inland lakesâ€"more particularly Ontario-the New York Times says : There is abundant evidence that the amount of water on the surface of the earth has been steadily diminishing for many thousands of years. No one doubts that there was a time when the Gas ian Sea communicated with the Black ea, and when the Mediterranean covered the raster part of the Desert of Sahara. In sot. geologists tell us that at one period the whole of the earth was covered by water. and the fact that continents of dry land now exist is proof that there is less water on our globe now than there was in its infancy._ This diminution of our supply of water is going on at the present day_ at a rate. so “rapid as and streams of our Atlantic States are visibly smaller than they were twenty- five years ago.

A despatch from London says the attention of Great Western Railway Constable Logan was last night directed to a young woman apparently only 15 or 16 years old. who stood watching about the station with a child in her arms which seemed to be scarcely 6 months old. Seve- ral persons had observed her forlorn and dejected aspect, rendered all the worse because of the cold storm to which she had been exposed in the streets. Upon inquiry it was learned that she. with her child. had come down from Goderich on the Grand Trunk Railway. ind from the latter station wandered over to the Great Western. For some two years she had been living with a respectable family, and formed the acquaintance of a young farmer in the vicinity. the result being in time that he promised to marry her. but his vow was never kept. He proved faithless, and has since. it is understood, left the country for the United States. Those who had for- merly been her friends refused to permit her to reside there longer. She could get no assistance of any kind. and these rea- sons, she says, forced her to leave the town in destitute circumstances. Constable Logan provided for any immediate wants, an at the request of the unfortunate young woman visited the authorities of the Women’s Refuge. and gained admission for her. A conveyance was procured. and she was safely lodged there for the night. The eye tells as much to the one who knows how to read it as the whole of the face.
