Dr. Mickle, of New Brighton, has just received news by the mail reaching Christchurch on the inst. that his two -nieces, Miss Pauline Jackson,- and" Miss Maijorie Jackson, daughters' of the ilate Dr. Philip John Jackson, were seriously injured in the accident. Mrs Jackson . was Dr.. Mickle's youngest-sister, and her daughters were, quite children when Dr. Mickle saw them last, IS ye&rs ago. They reside in London, and previous to the accident had gone on a visit to Scotland. .They' had been spending- a few days in Edinburgh, and on the 28th were' returning to Edinburgh, from a visit to St. Andrews. It was when nearing the Haymarket Station, Edinburgh, : that the dreadful smash oeeurred. Dr. Micklo lias just received particulars of the injuries his nieces sustained. The .elder, Pauline, received general injuries of a severe . kind," in- . eluding fraeture of the bones of one leg;. Marjorie, the • younger, received such severe injuries that she had to submit to the amputation of one foot. Miss, Pauline's glasses were torn from her face and smashed but fortunately | her eyes were not injured. The "two ! people next to her were killed, and she- was lying between them ' nearly an hour untii rescued. Their mother, Mrs Jackson, was on a visit to - Dr. Mickle's sisters at Kirklington, Yorks, at the time, and immediately on reeeipt of the news she left for Edinburgh. Dr. Miekle's information is up to three weeks after the accident, and both" were progressing fairly well.

ST. BEDE'S OLD HOTS* DANCE.

At Dixieland. last night, was held the first aaace of St. Bede's College Old Boys, and, judging by the unqualified suceesa of the gathering, it is safe to prophesy that, not only will the reunion of old boys and their friends become an arnoal affair, but that invitations for the dance will be eagerly sought by danee-lovers.

Fully two hundred guests assembled in response to the committee's invitation, but continuous music, supplied bv Sutherland's Band and Marston's Band, obviated all danger of overcrov.-ding.
