THE RAINHILL AND WINDSOR MURDERS.

London, April 5. The police consider there is not the slightest ground for the renewed stories connecting Deeming with the Whitechapel murders or any event in England between his departure in 1888 and his arrival in September, 1889, and many swindles in all parts of die country have been wrongly attributed to him. The city promoters of the Great Kruger Mine in South Africa, including some from Transvaal, deny Detective Brandt’s statement that Deeming was connected with their concern. Melbourne, April 6. Nineteen witnesses, including Miss Rounseville, were examined to-day at the Windsor murder inquest. Nothin;; of an important character was elicited, the evidence for the most part proving the sale by the accused of the contents of the cottage at Windsor. The inquest will probably finish to-morrow. April 7. The Coroner who is conducting the Windsor inquest, received an anonymous letter, ostensibly written by a woman, threatening that if the enquiry is not conducted in an impartial manner it would be the worse for him, and also stating that an attempt would be made on the life of the Coroner in open court. At the conclusion of the evidence Mi Lyle, prisoner’s counsel, intimated that he would not set up any defence at the present stage. Throughout his remarks he frequently referred to the prisoner as « this strange and pitiful creature,” and indicated that the defence would be one which had concerned the minds of the greatest scientific men of the age. The jury, after an absence of forty minutes returned a verdict of “ Wilful 1 Murder ” against Williams.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. MRS M. L. MORGAN, CLIFTON, ARATAPU, AUCKLAND, N.Z., under date 23rd January, 1892, writes:— Bear Sir, —Some two years ago, having previously enjoyed very good health, 1 was taken seriously ill, and found it very difficult to get relief. At first I treated myself, thinking that I should soon be well again ; but my illness grew upon me and I was completely prostrated, and unable to do anything. I sought medical advice from our local doctor, and he prescribed for me. My ailment -was described as black jaundice and gall-stones, and at times I suffered much pain. Our doctor’s treatment did not do me much good, as the attacks were frequent and very severe. Some months passed, and 1 felt that I was becoming hopelessly ill. My friends were shocked at my sallow and changed appearance, and more than one has told me since that they never expected to see me well again. I went to Auckland for change of air and scene, and to seek further medical advice. I got it, and for a time seemed to improve, the change evidently doing me good ; but it was not tonic enough, for after a week or no I was again laid up. All the medical advice I got in Auckland seemed unavailing, and I returned home with very little to hope for. Here I suffered several attacks, and had to lay up repeatedly. My husband had a very poor opinion £>f patent medicines, but seeing Clements Tonic advertised as of each wonderful effect «i serious cases, and beiug quite at a loss to suggest any other untried remedy, he brought mo home a bottle, and we determined to try it. At the same time we resolved to say nothing of the medicine we were using until fully satisfied of its effects. The first dose did jne good and I improved rapidly. Friends who would not have been surprised to hear of my death were really astonished at my rapid recovery. I was soon satisfied as to the value of Clements Tonic, and gladly recommended it to others, and so did my husband. The storekeeper spoke to him one day, and a iked him if he had been recommending Clements Tonic, for he was almost sold out, and had only one bottle left, “Give it to me,” said my husband; “I wouldn’t be without it for anything.” By the time I had taken one bottle I was able to get about my work again. Friends thought the improvement only temporary, and «tpected to see me prostrated again, but I am thankful to say that such has not been the case. Every dose did it’work, *-id after a fortnight I only took ori4 .’ose a day, In the early morning, I have used only three bottles, and have the fourth iu the house. Ido not take it regularly, but fly to it on the least symptom of anything being wrong, and I have many limes proved it to be a good preventive of returning sickness. It is now eight or nine months since I recovered, and Clements Tonic has kept me in good health all through. 1 can again get on with my house and dairy work with comfort and pleasure. I am pleased to be able to recommend Clements Tonic, for I have found it a true friend, and am convinced that it will give health to many now suffering if they will only give it a trial.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully, M. L. MORGAN. EXCLUSION OP CHINESE, London, April G. The Standard says it is improbable the Australian Colo'nies will go as far as the United States in regard to the exclusion of Chinese. Washing JON, April 5. The anti-Chinese Bill ju/st passed is of a most drastic nature. Captains of vessels importing Chinamen are to be held liable. i ANOTHER CANADIAN SCANDAL. Ottawa, April 6, Sir A.

Blair, Premier of New Brunswick, is also charged with corruption, hut he states he 5a quite willing that a Select Committee should be appointed to make full ftiqnny into the charges 4pril 6 The Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick has declined the offer of the Premier (Mr Blair) to set up p Select f
