LONDON", July 1

In the House of Lords, Viscount Crewe, in moving the motion of condolence, said that when it happened that a married pair had been united by the closest affection and did not have to undergo the agony of parting but left the world together, one was almost tempted to modify the grief and pity so poignantly excited by such a tragedy as this, but the thought of their young children, doubly orphaned on the threshold of their lives, forbids us to pursue such a reflection.

Lord Lansdowne said that this calamity was characterised by more horror and deeper pathos than those preceding it.
