IDEATH OF MISS OLIVE TALBOT.…
DEATH OF MISS OLIVE TALBOT. THE END OF A LIFE OF SUFFERING- SAD LOSS TO THE CHURCH IN WALES. A PRINCELY DONOR TAKEN AWAY. The Chuich at Wales axe sustained one of the greatest ioBtie- it. has had during the past century by the death on Saturday* evening of MLaS Olive TaJbot, third and youngc-at daughter of the late Mr. (. R. M. Tiubot, M.r., of Mar gam Park, and father of the House of Commons. Miss Olive Talbot would have been 52 years of :tge to-day For the patjt twenty year3 she has been an intense sufferer from spinal and other complaints, which completely invalided her, and kept her to her London house, 3, Cavendish-square. In fact, it is over twenty years since ebe had been to her birthplace—Mar gam Park—and it must have been very distressing to her upon the death of her late lamented father that she could not, be prt#ent at the funeral. Miss Olive Talbot was of a»i exceedingly amiable tempera- ment, and was generous to a fault. In htr eariy days at Margam she u.l to devote the whole of her spare time in going about tlif neighbourhood of Margam alone with a basket of dainties on her atrm, ministering to the wants of the eick and needy, and many of her deeds of kindness will rema-n untold, as whatsoever she did iÍt. was done iii the most unobtrusive manner. Mi»3 Oliv? also, whilst living- at Margam, used to take tne most lively interest in fJI matters relating to the welfare of the Church. The Stttulav School had a special attraction for her, and aiao the ohcir. At all the concerts hel<i at Maigam she took always an aotive part. But it was a geacrous donor to the Church that Misa Talbot's name* will be enrolletl on the 1,¡ageJ of the history of the Welsh Church. Ever since she oame into possession of a. hand- some income Wt her by her fattier (and which, by the way, now reverts to Miss Talbot, Marion Park), her munificent* had no bounds. It can saiely be said that no appeal for help, either towards the erection of new or the restoration or old churches, or the endowment nf poor livings, but met with a heartr response from her. We may mention a few of the new chnrchea erected at her sole expense, viz., G&rth mid Spolter,'Mmwtfg; Abenrwvnii; St. Theodore's. Kenfig Kill; Liangynwyd. Llan- itCtnor: Liajnlyfodwg, and Nicholaaton (Gover). She also assiisted her aister, Miss Taliiot. Margam Park. in the restora- tion of several churches in the Diio- (lese of Llandaff. Many vi.iars and curates in Wales were al.-o the recipitnta of gift« of money from lier hands. For many years past she was attended by the family phyaioian, Dr. Rintrer, of London, who ren- ttoad all that meduxil aid could do to alleviate her sufferings, but death toiik place in H:" pre- wnee of her gister, Mrs. Fletoher, of Saitouu Park. Seotifwid. The funeral obsequies will take place at Margam, but v yet the date has not been fix-d. We aiv glad to be able to 3tatri that Mio;ø Talbot's (Afargami iic-alfch is much improved, and it is hoped that the death of her iiistcr will not furtht impair it.

BORTH MURDER. .
BORTH MURDER. MAGISTERIAL PROCEEDINGS AT ABERYSTWITH. COMMITTED ON THE CAPITAL CHARGE. Tbtmas Richards, who is iu custody at the Aberystw.th Lock-up 011 a charge of murdering Mary Djtvies, of 1, London-place, Borth, as well :1..( burglary, was again brought up at the |x)lice-station on, Saturday morniaig (before Mr. David Thomas, Llasbadam-road, .md Mr David Thomas, Pantcoch, TaJgarreg). Mr. A. J. Haghee, Aberystwith (instructed by the Public Promecutor) appeared for the pro3ts«.-u- tion, and the prisoner wa.s undefended. A tumendous crowd luued the streets during the hearing of the case, but the accommodation being inadequate, vary few were able to gain admission. The ovidknee tak*n at the first hearing was read over to the various witnesses, and pri- se nei waa allowed an opportunity of putting any questions he desired. Winth Miss Ellis, of the Skinner's Arms, Aberystwith, renir.rkad that her evidence was quite correct, the prisoner, in reply to the magistraes' clerk (Air. W. Hughea Jones), who aeked if he had any ques- tions to put, said, "No, sir, only what I said before. I had a lot of drinks there, and she had been drinking with me, and the wr- vi nt, too." Miss Ellis (sharply): This is absolutely un- true. 1 never do drink- Prisoner shook hit head, and Mr. Arthur Hughes remarked to Miss Ellis that that would do. Chief-constable Howell Evaiiis's evidence was then read over, and whilst his confession was being read prisoner was very downcast. The chicf-cons.table's evidence having been got through, the magistrate, addressing the prisoner, asked, "Have you any question to put to the witness?" He replied. "All I can says is, if I liave done anything to injure her body it was not in my heart to do so. It was not my intention. and if I did anything wrcng i hope the Lord will forgive me." The prisoner, on being asked if he had any question to put to Police-sergeant Price, who apprehended him at Neath, said, "I was not sober when he arrested me. This i¡; all I have to say." Policc .-wgeant Pries replied, "Yea, you were perfectly sober, cool, and collected." On being asked to put a question to Police- sergeant J ones, who followed, prisoner said: — i was drunk, having been drinking all th* time. It waa all through th. drink that I have done what I have done." Dr. Abraham Thomas added to the evi. dence given at the inquewt, and said he had examined the linen of the bed on which the deceased- was found again on the previous evening. He again stated that the probable c^Ufie of dearth might have been due to suffo- cation, and that WIWI the only inference he rouid draw. By Mr. Hughea • The marks noticed on the deocased's thighs would not require any appreciable amount of force. Other witnesses followed, but the prisoner did not question any of these. Poiaoe-oonstahle Lewis Davits, having given evidence with regard to a hole being found in the back door of the hon^e occupied by Mary Daviee, through which he was able to remove thfe wooden bolt on the maide and gain admission Sergeant Davies (Aberystwith) was called, and gave evidence with respect to the cigar-box received at Borth containing JS40 in gold. Richard Hughes, who lived next door to Sandon Villa, where the prisoner's wife reo sided, said he found the gimlet produced ou the b'iek window of Ricliards's residence on the Friday evening, and took the same into his house. On the following Sunday evening he handed it to the constable. On the Tuesday following witness spoke of hearing someone waP,ing' in the front and back of his house on Friday moi-ning, the 21st, between one and two o'clock, at which time it waa quite dark. The Magistrates' Clerk: Have you any question to put to the witness? Prisoner: I know nothing about that. Anne Evans, of the Royal Oak, Aijerygvwith, and Elizabeth Esther Daviee, of the same addre°?. gave evidence relating to the prisoner's visit to their establishment. The lattw re- marked that the prisoner complained to them that he w&S wry bttd during the time lie was there. Esther Morgan, of Lledrod, repeated her evidtnoe, whktfi was to the effect that prisoner aeked her t'» escl-ange her wedding ring for the put* lie lied. The prisoner remarked that if ih*. 40mrl not esct'osige lie most pt rid et the ring ht had tha-t night. Thos. Pe;»k, of Nevill s Dock Lkivelly, de- {losed: I knc .v the prisoner Thofi.

THE "INSULT" TO WALES.i
THE "INSULT" TO WALES. i DID SIR WM BARCOUBrf SWEAR? MR. LLOYD-GEORGE STICKS* TO HIS STATEMENT. ( Mr. Lloyd-George declines to go back on his Bangor declaration. He attii declares tluait insulting language was used by Sir WilHam Har court when the latter was waited upon by 8ir George Osborne Morgan to arrange for the reception of a. deputation uf Welsh membeN in cpaest of Disestablish- ment assurances. As we hare already pointed out, it is believed that Sir George lias sent a letter to Mr. T. E. Ellis denying the truth of the statement, and we have reason to think that thijt is not the only communication of the kind that the Welsh leader has lately written. It is worthy of note, however, that no public repudiation has been made, and unless his statement is openly met Mr. Lloyd-George f!et8 no neoes- felly for entering into details. One? of our representatives saw Mr. Hoyd-George on the subject on Saturday night at Cardiff, and the hon. member wa-ø as frank lie pos- sible. "You can say this," he eaid, "I have seen my authority, and I adhere to every word I said in my Bangor apecoh. I don't wish to say anything more than that at present, as I prefer to leave to Sir George Osborne Morgan the responsibility of publishing all the facts. I may Say tiMS, however, that I do not believe Sir George will publicly deny the accuracy of my statement." "And if lie dbes?" Mr. Llotyd-George paused. That, was a possibility that evidently startled bun. Then he said, with emnhasis and enough meaning to equiphal1 a dozen dictionaries: "If he does—well
