AIRSHIP ABLAZE r' l
AIRSHIP ABLAZE r' l White City Disaster TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION. Several Killed & Injured LADY'S BODY CHARRED TO CINDER. The firet serious accident in connection with the Franco-British Exhibition occurred to-day. Shortly before noon the public and atten- dants were startled by a tremendous report. It proceeded from the Aerodrome, the name given by Captain Lovelace, the American aeronaut, to the large tent-like erection from which his balloon atioeuto were made. While the gas-bag of his air-ship wa.s being inflated the gma suddenly exploded. The balloon waA instantly an im.mense mass of flames. The explosion was attended by terrible results. The reports as to the number of casualties are conflicting, but it is stated definitely that Mise Hill, lady secretary to Captain Lovelace, and George Leonard, Captain Lovelace's foreman, were killed. The estimated number of injured varies from five to twelve. It is also reported that a lady named Miso Knight is dying. This is not confirmed. One of the numerous ambulance depots in the Exhibition is situated just outside the Aerodrome, and thither the injured were quickly conveyed. The scene was an affrighting one, for in the dense smoke and alarm no one knew precisely what had happened or who had escaped. The air-ship was going to ascend this after- noon, and the captain and hie attendants were making preparations to that end. The air-ship is a total wreck. It was torpedo-shaped, and about twice as long as a pantechnicon van. Miss Hill, the unfortunate girl who yme burned to death, was having lunoh in the ehed. Burnt to Ashes After the explosion occurred the fire brigade were called out and smoke helmets were used. An employe at the Exhibition who was outside the place where the disaster occurred said that as soon as he heard the explosion he went inside the grounds, and saw the bal- loon of the airship in flame6. The clothes of the man George Wa-ite were burning on his body. These were pulled off by one em- ploye, while another poured oil on the man's body. The poor fellow was in terrible agony. The body of Miss Blanche Hill was bu-mt to ashes. Blown to Debris The Central News says that later detaals bhow that a number of pere.ons were stand- ing close to the woodeu shed, where the airship was housed, including Captain Love- lace, when a terrific explosion occurred, knocking down people vithin a radius of 200 or 300 ya.rds. Almost before the tspac- '.a.tori; had recovered from, the shock. aothing was to be seen of the airship but i mase of debris, while the shed was biasing "nriouely. All round lay the bodies of badly injured men and women, their clothes prac- tioally burnt away and their faces and bodies terribly mutilated. The boddes of a man and a woman were ta.ken out, and it needed little examinatiou to show that they were dead. All the badly injured, numbering aboult half a score, were aA onoe plaied on ambu- lance and taken to the nearest hospitals. The Injured There are at the time of telegraphing three persons in the Hammersmith Infirmary and two in the West London Hospital. The names of the latter are:v- Henry Grand, aged 36, of Bajn&buxy, and Sydney Oliver, 33, of Fulham. More injured are being taken to both hos- pitals. Captain Ixwelaoe is alive. according to the latest information, but badly hurt, and in a state of collapse through grief at the disaster. The explosion reverberated throughout the Exhibition, shaking china and glass and breaking vn-ndows.. aiid was distinctly heard outside, so that there was soon a number of persons clamouring for admission to the Exhibition to find out what had occurred. Shaken Off Their Feet I Hundreds r.ear the scene were shaken almost off their feet, and pieces of stuoco work and plaster were sha.ken down from the buildings. The accident, which occurred just after 11.30, is stated to have been due to the ca.re- less lighting of a match-end When the explosion occurred all her oloth- ing, with the exception of her oorsete, wat> burned off her body. The aerodrome is situated near the Stadium. The airship was guarded from public view by an uraoliruaWe fence, and notices were posted all over the iohed tha-t smoking watf prohibited, A later telegram etateis that Harry Bland, who wus helping to fill the gae-bag, wae seriously injured. Nothing of the airship remains but the ropes, and the shed is w rocked. All the chairs surrounding the airships shed were burnt up by the flames. Two of the injured, named Grand and Oliver, were taken to the West London Hos- pital. They were suffering from burns, and it is expected wiU have to be detained. The other persons w-r-e removed to the infirmary in the Exhibition grounds, where their injuries were attended to. The killed and injured were eniployes of Captain Lovelace. Some of them were en- gaged in putir.y up bunting in preparation for an asoent to-morrow. It is stated that some of the injuries received are of a ghastly nature. When the explosion occurred terrible scenes were witnessed, something of a panic pre- vailing, as it was feared that a ca.ptive baJloon near by would taike fire. ONLY ONE KILLED. A later message stilys that only Miss Hill was lulled. A man named Higgins ie in a serious condition.
"Stoke H old Slaves"I
"Stoke H old Slaves" MR. H. WILSON'S DENUNCIATION Mr. Haveiook Wileon, M.P., addressed a large gathering of seamen and firemen out- side the Shipping Offices at the Bute Docks this morning. Previous to Mr. Wileon speak- ing, Mr. Johnstone eaid that considerable difficulty ha-d been lately experienced in obtaining the wages of the port. Only yester- day the steamship Millwall wanted a crew, but the men refused to sign on except for X4 10s. He wae pleased to say that all held out, and this morning- they obtained what they asked for. Mr. Wilson, who spoke for some consider- able time, aaid that the saälors were not alone in demanding fair wages, but the ship- owners themselves were having a strike on their own. Because freights were bad they were laying up their steamers. He did not blame them for refusing cargoes which were not profitable, but why did they not recognise their demands in the same spirit? There were, however, black lege amongst the ship- owners. Some of them made up for the poor freig-ht by cuttdng down the wages of the firemen and sailors and by employing the cheapest of la/bour. The took on men who were not firemen. He had heard of one man who had signed on as a fireman shovelling the coal into the ashbin instead of the furnace. The difference between a good and bad fireman meant one ton of coal every four hours. What benefit was there to be derived from signing on a man at XZ who wasted a ton of coal, which represented 14s., every four hours? Speaking about the Federation, Mr. Wilson referred to it as the "scab shop," and said that after eighteen .years they had to confess that they could not gather a crew to do the work property. He challenged any shipowner in public to tell him that a crew .f Union men had been unable to do what was required of them. and yet the Federa- tion, after eighteen years of regenerating a.nd at a cost of £ 10,500 a year, had to confess this. Only the other day there wa sa case where twenty-five Chinamen jumped overboard to desert, and two of them were drowned. It was a disgrace to civilisation. You are the only slaves under the British flag (declared Mr. Wileon fiercely), and I do not care whether I am believed or not. He did not suggest that the men should get everything they asked for, but if the shipowner would only take the right view of this question they would And that better results could be got out of free men than out of slaves. One man out of every 279 of those employed in the stoke hole either committed suicide or died from heat stroke or heart failure. When he got back to the House of Commons he would make his voice ring in denouncing the infamous conditions that permits of men being done to death in this cowardly maimer. (Applause.) t.

The " P.D." Dispute I
The P.D." Dispute I STRIKE COMMITTEE'S REPLY I The adjourned meeting of the strike com- mittee of the Powell-DuffTyn men was held on Thursday night. There was a full attend- ance of the members of the committee, out Mr O. B. Stanton, the miners' agent, was not present. We learn from a very good source that the meeting was prolonged by reason of the fact that the committee were engaged in drawing up categorical replies to the letter of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Hann. The reply was, in fact, drawn up and signed. Referring to the alleged victimisation of Hinds, the strike commi-ttee reiterate t,heir opinion that the man was an efficient stoker, who had been overworked an-d unjustly dis- missed. They even declared that Hinds had to fetch coal from the top of the screen, as well an do t,he stoking—a terrible state of affairs, which was lucidly described in the draft of the reply as nothing more or less than slavedom and a breach of contract." As to the Trea.man cases of alleged victimi- sation, the committee complain that when the two men out of t,he six referred to went back to work they found, contrary to expectations, that they were worse off than before they went out on strike. This, together with the dismissal of one" man in another district" is said to be victimisa- tion. The complaint is further urged that the discharge note is used, sometimes by telephone!" Reiterating the charge that old workman are unfairly dismissed, without, howev^ar, giving specific instances, the committee express the opinion that this was a good reason for bringing the men out on strike. After expressing their joy at the order that officials must atop using bad language, and that Mr. Shaw has promised to remedy any cases of ill-treatment of people going to the colliery offices for compensation, the oom- mittee complain that, because the manage- ment stopped the men working one Sunday night, and because the men had to attend the demonstration on the Monday following, they thug lost two nights and a bonus. It came as a surprise to those who happened to be "in the know" directly after the meeting that no definite line of action was taken, and it is believed that for a fortnight at all events masters will so on quite smoothly.

"Yœ, m,a:a.m," answered the girl, "but I've learned how to cook now, and I've found a place where I cam get twenty-two pounds." "You didn't ask me to raise your wages.

GOLD MINE IN IRELAND i
GOLD MINE IN IRELAND i Inishowen Head, County Donegal, is trying I to beoome a. Klondyke. Two years ago Lord Shaftesbury granted a 60 lease to a Mr. Johnston., of Belfast, who had a strong faith in the gold-producing prospects of this part of Ireland. Gold was actually discovered, and nearly 5,000 tons of ore, which is claimed to contain a consider- able percentage of gold, oopper silver, and lead. have now been exposed. A group of American financiers heard of the new goldfield. and after receiving a favourable report from a mining expert whom they sent over they have formed a syndi- cate to work the mines. Quite a number of people believe that the wealth of the Rand wiH be eclipsed by the wealth of Inishowen.

•r L —^ GLAMORGAN ASSIZE ECHO
r L —^ GLAMORGAN ASSIZE ECHO SEARLE'S SENTENCE SUSTAINED To-day the Court of Criminal Appeal, con- sisting of the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Daz-ld-ng, and Mr. Justice Phillimore, held its first sitting in tbe long vacation. The court considered the case of George Searle, who was not present, but who had applied for leave to appeal, aga,inst an order of the Lord Ohief Justice refusing leave to appeal against conviction and re- fusing legal aid. Mir. Justice Darling, in delivering the judg- ment of the court, said this was appellant's appeal from a serotence of seven years' penal servitude passed on him by a commission of assize on the Welsh Circuit. The circum- stances were that he was in custody pro- perly and legally, and while in custody he with a knife inflicted two dangerous wounds upon the officer who had him in custody. This he was convicted upon evidence which did not admit of any shadow of doubt. He was defended not on the ground that he did not do it, but merely on the ground that the intention was not the intention alleged in the indiotmenit, and upon which the jury con- victed. He was found guilty of this most grave offence, and in the opinion of the court he properly received a sentence of seven yeans' penal servitude. The a.ppeal musit, therefore, be dismissed.
Mr, Grover's Loss
Mr, Grover's Loss SEQUEL TO A LONDON EPISODE Criminal Court Appeal To-day the Court of Criminal Appeal, con- sisting of the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Darting, and MT. Justice Phillimore, held its first sitting in the long vacation. Amongst the appeals was one by Daniel Farrington, which is one of Cardiff interest. Mr. Ward, who appeared for the appellant, said his first applioation was for leave to call further evidence. He had two witnesses there whom he desired to call. The Lord'Chief Justice said he had looked through the papers, and he thought it was practically impossible to allow the further evidenoe to be called. The application, how- ever, had bet.ter come on with the final appeal, which was later in the list. He ought to say that, having- regard to the nature of the offence and what was found on the prisoner, he doubted very much, indeed, whether there was any case; but, of course, they had not heard counsel yet. The application was adjourned accordingly. THE CASE EXPLAINED. Later in the day, the final appeal came on. Mr. Barrington Wood said the prisoner was tried before Mr. Loviland at the South Lon- don Sessions on an indictment, which charged him with stealing a wateh and chain and other articles, the property of Mr. E. Brockett Grover, of Cardiff, from the person of the prosecutor. There was the further charge which was proceeded with. Leave to appeal was granted by Mr. Justice Lawrence and the prisoner was admitted to bail. The offence was alleged to have been committed on midnight of June 23, and the prisoner was brought before the magistrate on the 24th, when the prosecutor did not appear, and the magistrate remanded the prisoner on bail until July 1 for the attend- ance of the prosecutor. The prisoner was remanded for trial, and in the course of the investigations the police found a document in the possession of the prisoner, which related to certain stolen property. The pri- soner had a complete answer to that. The Lord Chief Justice remarked that all the property was found on him and in his possession. Mr. Barrington Ward said the prisoner had an explanation of that. Mr. Justice Darling said the whole ques- tion was whether the prosecutor had given these things to the prisoner as hush money to prevent him bringing some disgraceful charge against him, or whether they were stolen. Mr. Ward agreed. He did not wish to re-try the action, but he submitted that the evi- dence showed that the prosecutor's story was an entirely incredible one and r was a. tissue of his from beginning to end. The pri- soner bad not had time to oam-plete his evi- dence, and if he could call further eridenée it would descredit the prosecutor's story. The two grounds of appeal were that the verdict of the jury oould not be supported, having regard to the evidence and that the evidence of the police-inspector was impro- perly admitted before the verdict. If it was properly so admitted the judge ought to have given some directions as to the weight they should attach to it. The prosecutor's story was that on the 23rd of June he was staying with his wife at the Hotel Metropole, London, having oome up for the Pan-Angli- can Conference. He took his wife to a thea/tre, and having sent her home in a cab, he went to meet a friend by arrangement at the Paxton's Head in Knightsbridge. He did not meet his friend, and went to another public house called the Daisy, remaining until closing time. The prosecutor said that afterwards while waiting for hie friend near a public lavatory at the top of Sloane-street, the prisoner came up to him and pressed a cigarette on him, and while the prosecutor was lighting the cigarette from the prisoner's cigarette he said he looked down an d saw the prisoner with the watch and chain and cigarette holder in his hands. The prosecutor suggested that the prisoner had previously stolen a gold waAch in the Paston's, and pri- soner's story was entirely different. He said the prosecutor have given him all the articles in the prisoner's rooms and had pressed them on to him notwithstanding the prisoner haod refused to take them, because prosecutor feared the prisoner might make CERTAIN CHARGES AGAINST HIM. I He (oounsel) complained that prisoner was I cross-examined in such a way as to suggest that he was a companion of a blackmailer. and evidence was improperly admitted to that effect. The prosecutor said the whole of prisoner's story as to his going to pri. soner's rooms was a lie. The Lord Chief Justice said the court would hear the further evidence tendered for the appellant. Frederick Hughes, oorporal in the 1st Life Guards, gave evidence as to being in com- pany with Farrington at the Paxton's Head on June 23 and seeing Mr. Grover there He had seen Mr. Grover on two previous occa- sions, and Mr. Grover once asked him to have a drink at the Metropole when witness was in uniform. William Standen. a footman in service in Park-lane, London, also gave evidence as to being with Farrington in the Paxton s Head until closing time. The Lord Chief Justice said these witnesses did not carry the defence any further. The appeal "was dismissed.

'A collier, getting £2 8s. per week, h&d made default in paying instalments of la. per week. Hia Honour said it was a bad case, and concluded with the usual formula, "Ten dayis, suspended for fourteen." "Bank Holiday doesn't prevent a man from working all the week unless he gets very drunk and renders himself unfit," said his Honour in another case. "An insurance agent, getting JE1 2b. 6d. a week," soliloquised his Honour. "I suppose the market is over-stocked. And he's a married man, and has to keep up a decent appearance. Well, I shall only matke an order of ls. a month." "Wlwut's the meaning of this?" asked his Honour of a judgment creditor in one case. "Here this man, I see, only had nine and ninepence in one week. It's hardly enough to keep a collier in beer. No order." "Next time you oome here wash your face, said his Honour to a defendant in one case. "Oh, here's one travelling draper suing ■ another," observed has Honour in another case. "I won't say what comes to my mind, but it's rather like t,he drf. (Laughter.)

Grow-oott, of Banbury. the British cham- pion, a few weeks ago at Manchester, he holds the proud distinction of being the un- defeated world's champion. Scratch men seldom, if ever, reach the final stages in big handicaps owing to the long starts they have to give away, which would suggest that the Auet,ralianwho, by the way, will be a cer- tain starter at this meeting-—will 6bare a similar iate to his predecessors in this event. This may be so, but, sitill, always being such a genuine tryer, P'&stle will not fail to give such an exhibition of pace that will electrify the thousands who are certain to be present. Of the short markers in the handicap, B. R. Day, of Blackpool, is the better known down this way. Sin,< his last appearance in Wales, some two years ago, he has put up a world's record over 440 yards in 47 4-5sec., and like the Colomal gives of his very best when competing at alliletic meetings. To-morrow this runner nveets Postle for the world's quarter mile championship, the event taking .place at the Sal ford Football Ground, Man- chester, and win or lose lie can be relied upon to put up a gre,a,t performance, so that when he appears at Pontypridd he should be at the top cf his form. T. Campbell, of Carriok-ma-C-ross, is a pedestrian of high class, his short mark being the penalty of many victories in handicaps and matches. J. Todd, of Australia, has the reputation of being the finest aU-ixRijid pedestrian in the Colonies, and is the trainer and companion of Pottle. It was this same Todd who was defeated over the half-mile for 1120 and the championship by F. C. Da vies, of Tenby, now recognised a-; the British champion, and, as the Australian in dojwn to compete in the other events of the meeting, he will be seen opposed to r>av4ee once again over his favourite distanices, so the meeting between these two alone should prove more than inte- resting. W. Reed, of Southbank, who has to his credit a victory over the one-time famous AM Downer, of Bdanburgh, has seaat in his lifst entry to a Welsh meeting, and is now in this country undergoing a special pre- paration foi this event. Last year's winner, Evans, of Tenby, who has been penalised 3!! ywrrda for his victory, is such an improved runner tbat even off 6i he is not by ajiy means out of the handicap. Scotland, as usual, is strongly represented in Henderson, Gunn, Humer, Peebles, Bran- don, and Garsade. The latter's sensational Powderhall victory in 1903 is recorded as being by far the best coup landed in the history of the Scotch Sew Year Ilandiiaip. Pontypridd is now recognised as the New- market of professional pedesi-rianiem in this country, and its annual September gala attracts thousands of lovers of honest foot runmnig. Its popularity grows with each year, and, although 1907 can claim the largest attendance for these meetings, it is confidently anticipated by those who should know that this year a.U records will go by the board- The starts have been carefully allotted, with toie view of producing g-ood racing. How far the ihandioa<pper has succeeded in attain- ing this end nemaine to be seen. Acce<ptar.oes (2s. 6d.) close on Saturday, August 22, which is also the last day of receiving entries for the remaining events of the xueoung. I Entries and Starts. A. B. Postle (Australia) Yards. B.

L Minor Counties Championship
L Minor Counties Cham- pionship MONMOUTHSHIRE V. CORNWALL "there opened at Newport to-day the last of Mon- mouthshire's county matches of the season. This game with Cornwall was unusually interesting, inas- much as an important Minor Counties Championship point was involved. If Monmouthshire win they will emerge on a level with Devon and Glamorgan, who have made 75 per cent, of the points up to date. To- day' conditions were good so iar as the weather and the wicket were concerned, though the li.í;ht was not of the best. The attendance of spectators was small. Cornwall hrct went to the wickets. Coad and H. Tresawna faced firt the bowling of Steeples and Gordon Phillip*. There was one change in the home tenm, Stanton taking the place of J. R. Williams, who could not attend and keep wicket. Both batsmen played with caution. At 43 Tresawna was clean bowled by W. iA. William j after he had made it) run*. An hour's play sent up half-century. At 52 T. U. Williams, by a Vionáerful catch, took W. X. Bickford-Smith. Trevarthoa fell to a smashing ball from Steeples. Coad, after two lives, was taken behind the wickets by Stanton. The century was reached at 1.14, after an hour and forty minutes' piay. At the luncheon interval Cornwall had scored 130 for five wieket: ;,)core CORNWALL. Firost innings. Second innings. H.

GRIMSBY HORSES "MAIMED Further horse-maiming cases are reported from Grimsby, hve animals buvi-ng been mutilated within a week. Oc Thursday tvo hordes, belonging: to Messrs. North, Bllis, and Co., tiihber merchants, were found to have been maimed. One, worth 48D, had a oot twelve inchee "eng in the stomach, and another out inside the leg. The other animal had a triangular cut on the inside near hind leg, but not serious. The third horse, belonging to Alder. r.ian H Smethuret, J.P., had been horribly maimed. It was found terribly gashed on the head, one eye ball was burst, apparently as the result of a deliberate stab, the other eye was out and inflamed, and the animal had completely lost its sight.

Stock-keepers are very m-uch alarmed, and fields aed stables are being watched.

FOOTBALL
FOOTBALL Unpleasant Association Rumours The letter which has been &ent by the Foot. ball Association to the Management Com- mittee of the Southern IAague--aaid pre- sumably to other leagues owing alle^ianoe— reauds very mucth like a confession <4 impotence (says tho "Birmingham Post"). There have long been unpleasant riimoun that clubs have been en liuwe at football in relation to the emg-agement aNd payment of professionals. In a few oa^es malpractices have bean proved, and heavy penalties have bem imposed. But there has been more thaji 4 suspicion that for every soaiidal broug-ht to light rainy ct-h-ers have existed witihoirt the knowledge of the authorities, or, at ftóay rate. without sufficient evidence being at liadd to ensure conviction (in the footle sense) of the offenders. Not a few. inde«d, among the who move on the fringe of football management Me ready to assert that the laws of the Foot-ball Association are habitually broken by mapy clubs, find those not the least prominent in the leagues, and tJiat the real obstacle standing in the way of reform i« the con- sciousness that dnastic action would endanger the whole structure of football goveiiiimeHt. Be thie as it may, it ia olea-i- from the lettifer sent to tiie Southern I/ea.guo, tiia-t the Foot- ball Association are extremely uneasy.

PACKET AGENT'S SUICIDE/
PACKET AGENT'S SUICIDE At Douglas, Isle of Man, on Thursday th4 coroner entered a verdict of Suicide while temporarily insane" in the case of William Edwin Young, aged 46, who ebot himself with a revolver on Wednesday night. He was a-n agent of the Steam Packet Company and the la.te secretary of the Douglas Tramway Com- pany and the Villiers Hotel Company. As an accountant he was a man of the highest integrity and uprightness. Recently he resigned the tecretaryahip he held rather than submit to a reduction in salary conse- quent on bad trade. He then etarted ae a coal dealer, but, though very successful, he experienced great difficulty in getting aooounte paid to him by his customers. This worried him, and he suffered from sleepless- ness. On Wednesday night he brought his books home, and complained that they Wert mixed. In the momentary absence of hit wife from the room he shot himself behind the ear.
WELSH MINISTER OF HEALTH
WELSH MINISTER OF HEALTH At a meeting of the Cardigan County Count oil, held at Aberayron on Thursday, a reoor lution was moved by Dr. Jenkyn Lewis Llanon, declaring that the time had arrived for the appointment of a Minister of Public Health for Waies, a copy of the resolutioE to be forwarded to ali the Welsh county oouncile and to the secretary of the Wetehi Parliamentary Committee. Dr. Lewie said that it was absolutely hope- less to expect any support from the Local Government Board, as at present constituted, in remedying sanitary def-ect-s in this and other Welsh counties. 11 Parliament acceded to this application, they could have a gentle- man in high quarters who would know Wales, its customs and traditions, and who would be able to deal with that fatalism which lurked deep down in the Welsh character, and arrested all efforts at sani- tary reform. What had been oonoeded to Scotland and Ireland in this way, to the great advantage of both countries, should also be granted to Wales. Mr. J. M. Howell, Aberayron, seconded, and the resolution was unanimously oarried.
