.AN AWFUL PANIC.
AN AWFUL PANIC. STEAMER ABLAZE I PASSENGERS AND CREW LEAP I OVERBOARD I Overwhelmed by FlamesI MANY LIVES LOST: VESSEL ABANDONED [SPECIAL TO THE EVENING EXPRESS."] I A Renter's Malta message received at Boon to-day reported that the steamer Sardinia waa on fire about one mild off Malta. The passengers and ert-w were jumping overboard in pafliic. A later Malta message stated that the Sardinia carried 200 passengers. Many lives have been lost, and the vessel has been abandoned. Flames overwhelmed the vessel so quickly that it was impos- sible to render assistance. A strong wind prevailed, and rendered Any attempt &t rescue hopeless, but the Admiralty tugs stood by to render any assistance possible. The vessel had just left Malta for Alexandria with general merchandise, j Reuter's Agency ledums that the Sar- dinia, which left Live-rpool on the 14th inst., took on board at that port between 205 and 30 passengers, principally from Liverpool, for Alexandria, and her orew numbared 44. Alij were British. She had a general oorgo for Alexandria, She was a vessel of 1,516 tons. About half a dozen passengers in the stea.mer booked in London. Lloyd's Malta Agent wires that as the Sardinia was leaving port fire broke out, .and Whan the message was des- patched the forepart was ablaze. A later message at^es:—"The Sar- dinba is still burning, and has gone asho-re off Fort R-ioaseLi. The burnt steamer, which was first reported as the P. and 0. boat named Sardinia, belong-s to the Pa,pay,a,nni EUerman line. Lloyd's list contains five steamers of that name. The Passengers .1 The Sardinia carried twenty ifrst-class and &ix second-claas British passengers when .she left Liverpool. The large incr?aae in the number of souls a.boa.rd a.fter the vessel left Malta is accounted for by the faot that those boats take on boatf-d other deck passengers—Levantines, Mal/tese, and Egyptians—for Alexandria. These passengers pitched their tents on t'he upper deck to obta-in shelter for the four days' passage. Another Account I A Central News Malta correspondent tele- gra..phs :-Tb.e large pa«eenger steamer Sar- dinia. belonging to the EIlennan Line caught fire to-day shortly after leaving the harbour. She is now enveloped in great masses of omoke, from which the (tamo < an be seen shooting in all directions. The liner has a general cargo, and carries a large number of Pass e,u ciers. for whose surety the gravest fears are entertained. It ie reported that a number of those on board have been overcome by the flames, but there is no confirmation at present obtain- able. Several Admiralty tugs and pinnaces, in addition to boats from the men-of-war and the shipping craft in the harbour, are trying to render assistance, but owing to the volumes of smoke the task is most difficult.

. FINE WEATHER & BATHING I
FINE WEATHER & BATHING I It was reported to the Cardiff Property I and Markets Committee to-day, when Sir William Grossman presided, that the receipts at the corporation baths during October iXceedoo those for the corresponding period last year by JE42 17a. 5d., and for the past six Months the in,orease over the corresponding Deriod last year amounted to £ 248 9a. ld. The manager attributed the increase to the Very open weather experienced during the Dant nine months. Mr. A. Sessions said he mderetood that Mr. Jobn Cory was going to contribute £1.000 to the Y.M.C.A. for the Establishment of a junior branch nearly IDDpoeite the Catholic Club In Oorporation- t'oad, Qrangetown. It would be well for the committee to consider the question whet.ber the corporation could not tAke advantage of this fact and establish a public district bath in G-rangetown in connection with the V.M.o.A. scheme. The suggestion was to a sub-committee, Mr. Sessions J)romiidng to provide the committee with all 1Ihe neewsai-v information.

[NEGLECT OF THE THREE R'S-.I
[NEGLECT OF THE THREE R'S-.I Backward State of Cardiff Children At a. meeting of the Cardiff Schools Manage mlIJt Committee on Tuesday (Alderman Hobert Hughes presiding) Dr, James Robin- son called attention to the backward state of the elementary school-children in the three R's, and produced several samples of dictation work and arithmetic by pupils which showed surprising defects in spelling and other directions. He said that the pupils in question attended one of the best elementary schools in the city. They were not stupid children, and had been entered for the Municipal Secondary School examination last June; and he thought he was justified in remarking tha<t the state of things was a diegra-ce, and a sad comment upon the present system of overcrowding the curri- culum encouraged throughout the country by the Board of Education. The children would be thirteen years of age next Feb- ruary, but oould not enter the secondary school, and that, he thought, was a grea.t injustice to the pa-rents. The fact was that the public did not get value for the money nowadays spent on the elementary schools. (Hear, hear.) It should be understood that he did not say anything against the teachers in C&rdin, for Cardiff, no doubt, had the pick of them, but it waa t?e fault of the system. For instance, the inspectors did not now allow lessonr. in spelling at all, and only allowed dictation, allowing the pupils to use their own vocibulary. All that may be right in theory, but in practice it was rotten. Mrs. Lester Jones and Mr J. Stamfield endorsed Dr. Robinson's views, a.nd the Lord Mayor (Alderman Lewis Morgan) remarked that he had repeatedly called attention to the matter. Personally, his lonisliip was* strongly of the opiniou that the ratepayers did not get full value for their money in the elementary schools. Many of the subjects now placed in the elementary curriculum were subjects for the secondary school teachers to deal with, and the result was tihoroug,bly bad. What the boys in tai,6 ele- mentary schools wanted was a thorough grounding in the three R's. Under the pre- sent system of the Board of Education they must not test the children, or they would be immediately told that they were putting a premium on cramming, but it seemed to him that an organised examination was the only wa.y of testing the children and encouraging the teachers to in&iat upon the children learning what would be really useful to them. Some strong representations ought to b3 made to the Booard of Education. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Chappell having spoken in a si.milar strain, Mr. H. M. Thompson said that, while he agreed to a great extent with wha.t hod. been said, there was a. danger of going back to the other extreme of confining elementary educa-tion to the three R's. On the motion of Dr. RoSinson a sub-com- mittee was appointed to examine the curri- culum in the Cardiff schools, and, if thought necessary, to make strong representations to the Board of Education on the matter. Inspector 1. Vaughan Evans e?id that, M fa,r as he was conc?rm?d, he had a1 W'ft,ys! aimed &t what the committee dmred, and h<5 presumed that the remarks made had reference to the Government inspectors. He flad repeatedly reported the steps be had taJten to have the elements of elementary edveation taught botter, and he was, in a aeoee, working against the code which was im vogue throughout the kingdom. Dr. Robinson and others made it perfectly I clear that their remarks applied to the Government inspectors, and not to their own inspectors. I
CORONER & WELSH FLANNELI
CORONER & WELSH FLANNEL A six-year-old child, named Beatrice HUT- wood, died at Swaneea Hospital on Tuesday mcrning from burning injuries received on the previous evening by setting her clothes on are. at New-street, Brynhyfryd, Swansea, where She lived. At the inque-at the mother stated that she shut the child out of the house whilst ahe went on an errand. The child, apparently, went back into the house, and set her pina- fore on fire by lighting some paper. The Coroner told the mother she should have taken the child with her. The pdmafore was made of inflaanma<ble stuff, whereas good Welsh flannel would not only prevent such accidents, but would last a good deal longer tban these flimsy stuffs. The mothers of Swansea would not listen to the preaching- of coroners, doctors, nurses, Ac., but lie hoped this woman would tell her neighbours what })e had said.—A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

UNEMPLOYED PROBLEM !
UNEMPLOYED PROBLEM A meetimg of the Merthyr IWstrew Com- mittee was held on Tuesday, vnder the presi- dency of Mr. Andrew Wilson, the mayor. A letter was read from the Tottenham Council, enclosing a reoolutioii they had passed, declaring that the Go-vernnnent should take the necessary steps to dead with the unemployed problem by such moans as State afforestation, the 1"OO1aomation of tore. shores and waste lands, and the institution of farm colonies, &e. The Mayor said that MT. Keir Hardle na-a always advocated the system of Stat* afforestation as a method of relieving thou- sands of unemployed. We imported into this country milliont3 ot tons of timber, which could easily he grown upon our waste lands. Mr. T. Andrews, J.P., in moving the adop- tion of the resolution, questioned whether the idea of afforestation would work out in a district like theits because of the difficulty of getting labourers adapted to the work. Mr W. Hiley seconded the motion, which was carried, and a copy of the resolution was ordered to be sent to the local members of Parliament and to the Prime M-mnsiter.

The Licensing Bill 1
The Licensing Bill 1 LORDS' LIMITATIONS I Lord Lamedowne himself and the majority of his supporters would, no doubt, prefer to discuss and amend the measure if they could deal with the other House upon equal terms (remarks the "Times" to-day). But, though the Peers ootild negative the confiscatory pro'viskms, they eonld not insert any others calculaitcd to oa-rry out the main objects of the Bill in a less objectionable way, without trenching upon questions which the House of Commons, in the temper it lecently dis- played in another oase, would deny their competence to approach. Cabinet and Lords I A Cabinet meeting was held this morning, the Prime Minister presiding. It is pro- bable that the Government discussed the I Peers' decision to reject the Licensing Bill. NO DISSOLUTION I Government and Decision of the Lords It is stated that, although they by no I means underrate the gravity of the decision of the Unionist peeip with reference to the Licensing Bill, the Government do not intend to be thereby driven to an appeal to the country until they have made further pro- gress with the other leading features of their legislative programme. Speaking at Ilford on Tuesday, Mr. Sydney Buxton, Postmaster-General, said it looked at the present moment as if the Peers were going to do another very unconstitutional action and throw out the Licensing Bill without consideration on second reading. Whatever happened to the measure, how- ever, the Government wcmld refuse to be dictated to by the House of Lords as to when they should dissolve. Opinion in the Commons I The decision of the Unionist peers to throw out tue Licensing Bill on the second reading has occasioned but little surprise in the House of Commons, although it was expected that Lord Lansuowne's proposal would meet with more opposition. It was known that Lord St. Aldvryn, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, and some other peers favoured the second reading of the Bill, and the Liberals hoped that their influence would prove sufficiently effective to save the Bill from rejection. One result of the decision of the peers will be to bring the session to a close much earlier than would otherwise have been the case. It may, indeed, be possible to prorogue Parliament before Christmas. The debate on the second reading of the Licensing Bill in the Lords will commence to-day, and, if necessary, extend until Friday afternoon.
BUYING OF BONDSI
BUYING OF BONDS I Harry Benson and George Petty again appeared at Westminster to-day on charges of fraudulent conspiracy in connection with the International Securities Syndicate. Among the witnesses was George Hazeldetn, aesista.nt inagistrates'-clerk, of Fulwood, Sheffield^ who gave evidence of purchase of bonds from the syndicate, one of which, counsel said, bore the same number as that allotted to other witnesses. Evidence was given by a former railway employe, named tlurt. of withdrawing E40 from the Post Office and depositing it in Feltham's Bank, where it still remained. Witness said he told the manager of the oltonk tha.t there was but a step between him and the worriiotice, out the managar assured him that he could draw out his money by presenting a docuim-ent given to witness. Mr. Salamon, chartered, accountant, act- ing for the Official Receiver, said the liabilities of Feltham's Ba.nk amounted to Adjourned for a fortnight.
SCOTCH OR SCOTTISH P I
SCOTCH OR SCOTTISH P The Education (Scotland) Bill, as amended by the Standing Committee, was, further considered in the House of Commons on Tuesday. Mr. SINCLAIR assented to an amendment to omit a sub-section which abolished the cumulative vote in school board elections. An amendment declaring that the Scotch Education Department should in future be called the Scottish Education Department drew from Mr. Sinclair the remark that he did not agree with the people who desired to call themselves Scottish. The real authority on all things Scotch was Robert Burns, who in one of his beet poems used the term, An auld Scotch drink." Byron also used the phrase, English bards and Scotch reviewers." Burns, Byron, and Scott would have been affronted at the idea that they should attempt to secure the insertion of the word Scottish" in two syllables when they had one strong, sensible, and suggestive word Scotch," whioh was good enough for anyone. (Laughter.) The amendment was negatived without a division, and the report stage concluded. Mr. SINCLAIR moved the third reading of the Bill, which was carried by 195 against 48.
£ 70,000 TRUST FUNDS
£ 70,000 TRUST FUNDS Mr. Justice Warrington in the Chancery Division on Tuesday commenced the hear- ing of an action brought by Mrs. Fountaine, daughter of a Norfolk squire, the late Mr. A. Fountaine, of Swaffham, and her eon, Charles Andrew Fountaine, against Lord, Amherst of Hackney and the representatives of the late Captain Dowler, who with Lord Amherst was a trustee of the estate of the late Mr. Fountaine. Plaintiffs sought to make defendants liable in respect of certain alleged bre.a.ches of trust whioh led to the lose of substantially three-fourths of the trust funds, a sum of nearly £ 70,000, owing to alleged misappro- priation by a member of the legal profession who once held an honourable position in the City of London, Mr. Charles Cheston, who died about two years ago. Mr. Foun-taine died in 1874, and left estate which realised 1100,000. Defendants, it was alleged, put the affairs of the trust estate in the hands of Mr. Cheston, through whom the heavy lose -was incurred. Counsel had not concluded his opening I when the court adjourned
I&SMALL HOLDINGS
& SMALL HOLDINGS Mr. R. HARCOURT (R.. Montrose Burghs* asked Sir E.

BLLIS DAVIES (R., Carnarvon^i,re, Eifton) asked the hon. member for South Somerset whether his attention bad been called to the fact that in the oounty of MoOn. mouth 265 persons bad applied for small, holdings, that 113 of these had been approved, ?t ?t? ?t.imated that 1,484 a?r? wo?d S ?ui?d to ?t,My th? tha.?? of ?e applications had yet been provioed for and no land acquired, and wha.t steps he pro- posed to take. Sir E. STRAOHEY: The board are aware of the position in Monmouth. One of their inspectors recently inspected a farm for which the county council are negotiating, and the board are satisfied tha-t the county council intend to carry out the Act to the best of their ability. Answering Mr. ?orr.M (R., Henley), Sir E. STRAOHEY said that the Board of Agricul- ture were now considering what additional staff was necessary to cope with the work arising under the Act.

SIBERIAN CONCESSIONI
SIBERIAN CONCESSION I Mr. Justice Neville in the Chancery Diri- sioii heard a petition by Mr. E. E. S. Kiss- Schletsinger, the Archduchess of Austria, the princess of Bourbon and Braganza, and the Duchess of Parma for the compulsory wind. ing-ap of the Doma,tine Company (Limited), which was formed to acquire gold-mining I concessions in Siberia. granted by the Impe- rial Rueeian Government. It was stated that the persons interested were mainly of Austrian nationality and domicile. It was a shareholders' petition. The main ground for seeking to supersede a resolution for voluntary liquidation by a compulsory winding-up was that the resolu- tion had been improperly brought a-bout. and that there were matters requiring inves- tigation. The main persons attacked were Dr. Jeannee, one of the directors, and Prince Alexander of Thurn and Taxis, who was one of the life governors. .The hearing was adjourned.

"I HAVE DONE IT"I
"I HAVE DONE IT" I A KISS-THEN DEATH Llanelly Murder Charge CHILD'S PLEA FOR MERCY Scenes at the Assizes JUDGE REBUKES A WITNESS Thomas John Lewis, aged 30, a plasterer, of Llanelly, was arraigned at Carmarthen, Winter Assises to-day charged with the murder of his three-year-old daughter on August 26. AS usual, a gaping crowd thronged the precincts of the gaol and side entrance eager to catch a glimpse of the unfortunate man, with whom universal sym- pathy was felt. Old inhabitants re-called the fact that there had not been a capital charge oase beard in the historic borough for the last fourteen years, on whioh occasion George Thomas, an Army Reserve ( man, was sen- tenced to death by Mr. Justice Kennedy for murdering his sweetheart, Mary Jane Jones, in Asyluin-lane, Carmarthen. Lowis's mother and sister took up their position at the back of the court, and there Was a hushed silence when the prisoner was placed in the dock. On being charged by the clerk of arraigns, he started crying, and appeared to few! his position acutely. lie kept his handkerchief to his face, and looked down in a deep, meditative manner while the 1,etty jury were beung sworn. Counsel for the Crown were Mr. E. Bowen Rowlands and Mir. kill Kelly (instructed by Mr. D. Rees Edmunds, solicitor, ijita-neily;. aad lor me d-tdeiice, Jfir- J. Lioyd Morgan, K.C., M.P., a.nd lVir. David Rhys (instructed by Mr. J. Lewis Phil-lips, solicitor, Llaneily). 'l'hoe issue resolved itself as to ft net-uef pri- soner was in a proper state of mind or not when he committed the dreadful deed, and on the application of Mr. J. Lloyd Morgan, K.C., M.P., MI. Justice B'ucknUi uireoiAi on tiie previous day that prisoner suiouid 00 I examined by am expert in mental diseases. Prisoner continued to weep bitterly, whilst MT. K. Bowen Rowlands briefly outlined the case fo<r the Crown, during the course of which prisoner was given a seat. On the fatal night (SO the story of the crime rune) prisoner returned to his home I between seven and 7.50 in a bad temper, and after refusing some broth threw off his ooat, tucked up his sleeves, and roughly handling the innocent nw.e victim, showed her a knife, and told her she should have it beiore the night out. Sub- sequently prisoner ill-treated one or two of his other children; then, seizing hold of his favourite girl took her to an adjoining room, "d after as-king her whether she "loved v-id-d-y" deliberately cut her neck juet below the ear. Si-creams from the child attracted the attention of the household, and prisoner informed his wife that he had "killed little Gertie." After ki&slng the unfortO-nate girl three tiroes prisoner proceeded to the town police-station and gave himself up. Gertie died on the way to the hospital. Counsel said prisoner came to Llanelly from Glamorganshire some years ago, and married a woman named James, who had a daughter, named Christina James, who would be called as a. witness. Two cbildreu were born to the prisoner and his wife-a hoy. named Charles, and the little victim, I Gertrude. They lived in a one-storey houee at No. 3, Cainbrian-plaoe, whica was in one of the poorest quarters of Llanelly. Counsel then proceeded to describe the aietre^ing details of the crime. He said that the pri- soner was sober when he went home on the latefui night, but exhibited a good deal of temper towards his wife and children. He had been andm-ated by a desire to trnioy his wife, and, as be could not get at ker in any other way, he determined by race against the woman to take the life of this poor child. He concluded by saying that the jury could only find one verdict in this carie. Little Girl's Story Christina Maud James, a bright little girl of thirteen, stated that about 7.30 on the night of Angutrt 26 last the prisoner came home quite sober, and, after taking the two spoonfuls of broth offered him by her mother, he said, "I don't want your —i— food." Prisoner afterwai-dis took off his whtye smook, then turned up his sleeves, a.nd, sharpening a pocket-knife (produced) on the pavemtnt outside, he oame back into the room and showed it to littje Gertie saying she should have it before the n?ht wa? out. He laid hia ang?r on the I kmfe to 900 if it w- "-rP- He th?n shut the knife up &nd put it into his pocket. Proceeding to the fireside, he caught hold of the fender, with the evident object of striking her mother. Her Uncle William said, "Don't be so silly, Tom," and the prisoner put the fender down. The prisoner then got told of a two-legged stool and struck little Charlie twice on the back He ateo paehed witness, who said, "Don't you push me about, if you push my mother about." He then left her alone. Taking the knife out of his pocket, he led little Gertie to a window sill on the other side of the partition. Prisoner sat down on the win. dow sill, and the little girl -was standing by his side- Prisoner asked the child twiee Do You Like Dada" and Gertoe replied, "Yes, dada, but dOn't beat tne again." Previous to this the prisoner had caught hold of Gertie's frook and threw her three times to the floor. Her stepfather then stabbed lii-ue Gertie in the neck with the knife he had previously shown her, &nd wit- ness screamed for her mother. When her mother appeared on the soane prisoner said, "Oh, garali Ann, I have done it." Witness also cried out, "Oh, mother, dada haa kiUed Gertie." Her stepfather then ran out of the house, but suDsequently ca.me back, kissed Gertie three times, a.1td said he would go and give himself up to the police. Witness went outside and called home neighbours in. SCENE IN COURT Judge Admonishes a Witness In cross-examination by MT. Lloyd Morgan, the witness said her stepfather loved little Gertie—in fact, slie wag his pet. and he need to troy her sweets. The prisoner here wept bitterly William James, 2, Oajnbrian-«itreet, Llanelly, having been sworn, was asked by Mr. Rowen Rowlands, "What are you Prisoner held up his head and sobbed out, "A rodney, sir."

( The J?dge*(stPTnIy): That ?a the very time you ought to have stopped in. Why on earth did you go out? Speak up like a man. Witness: I did not like to interfere with man and wife. I did not- consider it was my duty. The Judge: I hope men wiN have more courage to do their duty than you do. Witness: He told me to mind my own busi. ness. The J-iidee: But you ha-d business to do just then. You baA your own sister and thefJe children to protect against this nlem-s ferocioUtHMes. The witness essayed to interpose, when the Judge said, with greater sternness, "Silemce. silence, six; when you saw all that was going on you go and turn your back on the whole show, and leave these children at his meroy. I am ashamed of you; I am ashamed of you." This rebuke of the judge commended the approval of the people at the back of the dook. who made no concealment of their appreciation. Elizabeth James, a next-door neighbour, described the condition of affain at pri- soner's house when she waa alarmed by the crying of -?be children. Mrs. Lewis was hold- ing the little gTl m her I?p. To w?i=: the prisoner said OIl inquiry, Oh. Mrs. James, I have done it." Prisoner, after kise- ing the child once agiain, mme back to the house, and said, "Oh, let me kiss my child first." This was previous to his going to give himself up to the police. Witness (in reply to Ma-. Lloyd Morg-an) said the prisoner had idolised the child. The Fatal Wounds I Dr. Bmest Ward, Llanelly, stated that when he was summoned to tbla prisoner's I Iwuse, which was a very dirty mffl notiebtedj plaoe, the ohild was in a collapsed condition amd pulseless at the wrist. She was bleeding freely from the neok under the left ear. On further examination he fownd that there 'Were two punctured wounds in the neck. The I uppoer one was about thatf an ineh in length, and placed horlooneaty, the lower one about a quarter of via inch beiow was three-quarters of an inch in length, and was placed obliquely. Believing that the only hope of saving the child lay in immediate operation, a cab was called to take her to the hospital, but the child died in his arms when the cal) reached Tunnel-road, about 500 yards from the hospital. The cause of death was in his opinion hemorrhage from wounds in the neck, Which were consistent with these which could be inflicted by the pocket-knife produced. In reply to Mr. Lloyd Morgan, the witness sa-id he did not hold a postmortem examina- tion, as the coroner did Dot think it wae necessary. Although he coilld not say what blood vessel had been severed, still he oould say with a tolerable degree of certainty that dea-th was due to hemorrhage. Pol ice-constable Walter Evans stated that prisoner went to the Llanelly Town Police station about 9.15 on the night of the 26th of August and said, "I want to give myself up. I have cut my little girl's throat, and here is the knife I have done it with." Prisoner seemed quite calm at the time. Police-superintendent David Rogers pro- duced a statement signed by the prisoner. In which he tnAde a clean breast of the crime, a.nd in which he sa.id he did it because of a quarrel with his wife. The prisoner had been twice convicted at Llanelly for drunkenness. Police-sergeant William Britten deposed that when he formally charged prisoner with the crime he commenced crying, and said, Oh yee, I did it. My wife is the cause of it all through drinking and making rows to the house, and I have done it." Cross-examined by Mr. Lloyd Morgan, wit- ness said that the whole of the furniture in the house consisted of two tables, three chatrp, two stools, and two beds. When he lived in Wind-street the furniture was sold jndcr a couuty-court digtttts. The prisoner was of late years very much addicted to drink. The prisoner's statement before the magistrates was read over. In it he said: I don't know why I did it. I must have been out of my mind. I am a poor man, and I want assistance. I am going mad. This closed the case for the Crovin. Case for the Defence I Mr. Lloyd Morgan outlined the defence, which was that at the time he committed the Mt the prisoner was insane. William Jenkins, a plasterer's labourer, living at 36, Cambrian-street, who said ne Lob d known the prisoner all his lifetime, .-aid the prisoner had struck him as a man who was not in his right mind. On one occasion, when they were working together on some hou^s of Mr. Vivian's, he noticed the prisoner hold a hammer and lath in his outsTtretch-ed arms towards the ceiling, whilst at the same time he gazed wildly at the floor. Witness cited other instances, where he had seen the prisoner looking very queer. By Mr. Lloyd Morgan The incident as to prisoner's gazing wildly occurred three weeks previously to the commitment of the crime. By the Judge: During the whole of the th ee weeks prisoner did not appear to him to have been drinking or to have been in drink, but his condition was due tc some thing else. William Vivian, master plumber, Church- etreet, Llanelly, stated tJia-t when nris-nner worked for him in the plastering of some houses, about six weeks previous to crime, he seemed to be in a. melancholy mood, acted strangely, and seemed iJl- c,pa,ble of slacking the lime. Witness alluded to the way in which the prisoner stood. He held *a lath and hammer over his head, and gazed vacantly at the crowd. Witness told him at the time that if he stood there much longer the lath would get fast without nailing- (Laughter.; Whenever he spoke to the prisoner about his atrange conduct, he simply murmured. He had spoken on more than one occasion to li-im about his list-less conduct, and told him on one coca won that if he did not buck up he would soon go off his head. Do you consider a workman insane because he does not attend to hie employer's ardem?-Oh, no. Do you get workmen to always answer you? Oh. yes; very wiarm, sometimes. (Loud laughter.) Are you one of the few people who are supporting this man's defence?—No, I have not given a cent. 1.11. Bowen Rowlands questioned the witness as to whether or not he had endeavoured to Interview some of the witnesses for the p-ro- FklcutiOll, a.nd witness said he did not g,p;¡; d for Mrs. Lewis on Sunday ni-glst, but with the idea. of giving her some old oloithes suitable for wearing in court. He ddd this merely as an act of kindness. The Judge: You continue to do acts oi kindness provided they axe honest, amd you wiU never regret it. William Harry Sutton, a yonrag mason, living at Albany House, Ooleshill-terrace, sa.id he had noticed prisoner walking about in a very aimless and eccentric manner. M-T. Bowen Rowlands: Do you consider tha.t every British workman who walks about aimlessly in these days is out of his mind? Witness: I did not say he was ou.t otf his mind. Mr. Bowen Rowlands: No. there would be a good many if you thought so. Strange in His Manner David John Harries, James-street, JJLaneDy, George Ross, plasterer, Swawfleld-plaoe, Llanelly, and John Evans, contractor, The Forge, Llanelly, spoke of the strange demeanour of the prisoner whilst at work. Edward Thomas, step-brother of the prisoner, said that a few nights before the crime he noticed that the prisoner was- very atra.nge in his manner. He kept fumbling hie hands and talking inooherentiy to himself. He then new to the attic, and lay on the floor while mumbling to himself. On th following morning he found prisoner sugM.il behaving very strangely, and pioking up a bit of bread, which he sadd was his breakfast, in a large sheet of newspaper. He did not attribute his conduct on this occasion to drink, although (in cross-examination) he said he oould not speak of that wi11h certainty. Prisoner's mother, a homely-looking woman, who was so deaf that the inter- preter was obliged to shout in her ear, was then called, and said that about six o'efloek on the night of the tragedy prisoner called at her house, sa.t on the settle and ?<ta.rted crying. He seemed very strange in hie .manner. Later in the night he oa-lled at har house agadq, and his Wfllnlnor was very wtild and excited. He asked her to go down to his hooee ae he had put a knife into little Gertie. He said he wou,l<i go amd give himself up to the police- He looked wildly behind him, amd imagined that the police were after him. The prisoner's grandmother on his father's side was a very silly woman, and used to go rambling about crying, and people used to watch her. She had hoard her mother say that her grandmother had died in an a Cross-examined, the witness said the pri. soner was her son by her first husband. Mr. laoyd Morgan said he was very sorry to have to put the question. Counsel aeked if she had been addicted to drink at one time. Witness replied in the affirmative, and added that she had not tasted it for two years. Wife Goes Into the Box oarain Ann Lewis, wife of the prisoner, who was dressed in deep mouraiug, was then called, and stated that a few weeks before the crime was committed she noticed that a, change came over her husband. He looked very wild. (Prisoner at this stage uncovered has face, and glanced at his wife- this being the second time he had raised bds head dur- ing the taking of depositions). Proceeding, the witness said that her husband of late was very downhearted, amd used to yet up in the middle of night, walk downstairs aim- lessly, and go back again. During this period his appetite was very poor. When asked whether the pri&oner liked the littLe children, witness replied, "Yes, and he was always kind to them." Whereupon abe lyuawt into tears. In cross-examination by Mr. Rowlands, the witness said she could not suggiewt a.ny reason why her husband should have said that he killed the ohild to a,nncy her, as there was no unipieasamtmees between them on the night in question. Prisoner used to drink, but his was the firpt occasion on which be had ill-treated the children. The prisoner was abo-ut to strike her with a fender before attacking the children, but her brother stopped him. Mf. Bowen Rowlands: Why didn't you go and give information with & view to pro- tecting these children when you found yorar husband was ill-Dteatinig them?—Wo answer. Was it because these scenes had very often occurred tha-t yon did not take much notice of it?—(No. In reply to Mr. Lloyd Mo-ngan witness said She received a letter from the prisoner from the giaoi on September 2, but the contents were not disclosed by order of the judge. Dis John Richards, medical eufperintendent at the Joint Counties Asylum, Oarmarthen, who had been previously on the staff on the Leicester County Asylum for over seven years, .and now had to superintend over 600 patients, said tflnat on the previous day he went to ex-amdine the Ptrieoner alone. The physdcial examiiination resulted, in his opaimom, thout he had been ad-dieted to a ohromic alooihoMo indwteonce. He examined him with a view to discover the state of his mind, and then oame to the conclusion that be waos &ame. (Commotion.) Mir. Lloyd Noffwm: Then put a series of questions to witness with a view of discover- ing the condition of iJhe prisoner's mind at the time be committed the aat. s said there was a form of insanity which was well known as alcoholic insanity, the Cfoaracteris-tics of which were that ht-re vas a gtradual caarbge in the mentaJ and physical condition of tihe person so suffering. The cha-inge in the person's condition was dine to the action on the poison, which affected the generla nutrition of the bony. Yr. Richards then proceeded to explain that aAooholic inea.ndty moa.nt that a man beo&me jroqdoe, s-u-llen, lacked vivacity, for-get-fu-l'Dess, in- o,,I"oity for Irja,,rg work as before, not talking the same interegt in his wotrk as before, aod loss of self-Tei65:)ec<t. A man in such a con- dition might deiuj?io.na. He might know where he was., or lie might b-3 absolutely lost. The most marked point a<bo-ut all forms of i-nduigenr-e was the loss of self-cor t-rol. Sctoh depression as esokem of by the prisoner's witnesses wore con-sisrtent with alcoholic insanity. It was quite con- sistent with alcoholic insanty for a man S'iffering from it to be perfectly sane three days after it. It ,as quite consistent with alcoholic insanity for a person to commit an act of violence of which he would not be able to give an intelligent account a few days afterwards. ALCOHOLIC INSANITY. Mr. Bowen Rowlands, befcre proceeding to Dr Richards, desired to know how far -1 was possible for an offence of drunkenness k be a defence of murder. (Proceeding.)

WELSH DEBATE IN LONDON!
WELSH DEBATE IN LONDON! The Rev. Hartwell Jones, of Nutfield Rec- tory, prMid<?d at a debate held at the Welsh Wes-leyan Chapel, City-po?d. Lo?dw.. on Tu"d?ay night, under the ausjJi of the: Union of London Welsh ?utaM 'I'iinprcvemen* Societies. The subject wae, "Does the Dmoc- racy of Interest Iteelf in Questions Vitally Affecting Wales?" Mr J. R Evane. Charing Oroes-road, opened in the affirmative with capti^-ating Welsh eloquence, confining himself to the three questions: Preeerva-tion of language and nation aJity, ertabHshment of ednoatnora1 system ae the model for and envy of all civilised nations, and ardent loyalty to Otiri.gtia.nity. Mr. J. Capel argued that the Welsh people. in Wales and out of it, were surely aban- doning their language, taking no illterefoit in Welsh literature, and were more ewi-reraed about the rcligiou., welfare of English people than their own. as evidenced by their estab- lishment of ErH!'lkch causes, which were mainly supported by Weteh-speaking families whose children were growing up to be English-speaking. Messrs. Vaughan, Qity-road; D. Williams, Shirland-road, and W. J. WiniaBM. Bord-ett- road, supported the a.fnrn?.tive view. whdie Meesrs. David ??!c]'na?. Jewin; T. WiLliMna Borough, a.-? 0 J. Jones, HoHoway. arguedS the opposite. The openers having replied, j the n«?atiTe triumphed by three votœ, Acknowledging a vote of thanks, Mr. Hart- j well Jones briefly commented upon the: un.ueu.ally high standard of the debating The whole of tth £ proceedings were in tale vema?CU- iar.
A NEW CLERGY HOUSE I
A NEW CLERGY HOUSE The pariah of St. Mary, though it ie the most ancient of the ecolesiaetica/1 parishes of Cardiff, see me to have never possessed iLl vicarage hou" certainly not ftince the old I Parish Ohurch was wasth-ed away. in 1607. The late vioar, Father Arthiu Jones, rented two he-uses for himself and hie colleagues. inJ L-ou,dottn-qua,r,e. The present vicar rented a house for the clergy in tbe but he has now succeeded in building Vh^tiac adjoining the wetõt end of the ohureJh. The site is not a very bright or ofceerful one but it will be most convenient for the clergy to be so close to the atnaroV The belke hap C>Oí'Ct £ 2.000, which haa been raised without appealing for any e-ubseiilftiont;, for the vicar has takera the money out of the eoidowment capital of the benefice, thereby reducing income, l^rt he wiU be epared the rent of the house in Londonn-squa-re, and will have II. moist convcnieait and spacious house belong- ing to the benefice. Mil". G. E. Hadlictay bas been the architect, and, comideriti.g the diffi- onltjes of the situation, he is much to be congratulated on having erected a bouse so conve-nient ineide &i)d so pleasing without. The work has been carried out by Mrs. William Symoods and Oo., of Canton. A pale of work is being held in the vestry-room adicI-mi-ng theob-aroh to-da.y (Wednesday), and tea is being served in the new clergy boose.
