Two fatal tramway accidents have occurred iu Sydney recently. In one, a man and his son were standing on the step of the car when they were knocked off by coming into contact with a telegraph post on the road to Botany. The father had his brains knocked out, and the son was internally injured. In the second case a ■woman stepped in front of a motor at Newcastle and was cut to pieces. She was somewhat deaf, and it is presumed that she did not hear the approach of the engine. The Sydney police are raiding the bookmakers, and summoning them for assembling on the footpaths. At tho instance of the Queensland commissioners it has been decided that the New Zealand and Queensland ferneries to be displayed at the Melbourne Exhibition shall be in uniform glass houses.
