A HORSE STUNG TO DEATH BY BEES. A correspondent writing from Brisbane reports a most unusual street scene thn ugh the escape of several hives of bees. The hives were being con- veyed in a cart along Bayswater-road, when one of them got knocked over. The bees scattered about right and left, but most of them commenced an attack on the horse, which bolted. After run- ning some distance the animal fell and fractured its foreleg. All the hives were then upset, and the insects made a combined attack on the prostrate animal, which was stung to death as it lay upon the ground. During this time the bees had possession of the road, and traffic was suspended, none of the pedestrians venturing near, it was some time after the death of the horaa that the bees were got into their hives again and people were able to walk alonk the road.

ÆSTH ETIC DRESSES. The Star says Æsthetic dresses are all the wear in Paris now. The favourite colours are neutral-soft greens and browns, and the dresses are worn with long loose sleeves, some of them stretching down to the ground in graceful folds. The make is extremely simple, and as French- women invariably know how to wear dresses, the effect is much more chic that when .theticism prevailed here. All classes seem to have caught the fashion, from the great lady on the Ohamps Elyée8 to the grisettes in the Latin quarter, and a very pretty fashion is the result.

SEIZURE OF BETTING PAPERS, Yesterday afternoon Superintendent Stephen- son, Inspector Moore, and Beveral plain-clothes constables entered the Market Hall Stores, Phillip street, Birmingham, kept by Joseph Clowes, and seized a number of papers and books relating to horse-racing. The officers allege that the house has been used for the purpose of betting; but, on behalf of the owner, it is said that the documents seized are what are used at race meetings. Further proceedings will probably follow.

I American News. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT, VIA COITMEB- CIAL CABLE.] NEW YORK, Friday Night. The long spell of warm weather continues in the Atlantic States. Th6 thermometer at New York yesterday registered 86, and 92 at Washington. In Kansas a tornado of great violence has occurred. The funnel. shaped cloud was visible for miles, and but for the sparse settlement of the district over which it swept, the loss of life and property would have been terrible. The storm extended 40 miles, with a track two miles wide, but its tornadic force was then modified. Several persons were fatally injured, and many more were hurt. A big and deep depression has moved towards Gulf St. Lawrence with a rapid decrease of energy, and will probably traverse Newfound- land on Sunday, and move thence east-north-east, Mr Taylor Alexander Cameron, representing the Electric Sugar Refinery Company, has consented to a judgment dissolving the corpora- tion and on the motion of the Deputy-Attorney, Judge Barrett, in the Supreme Court, banded down a decree dissolving the concern, and forfeiting its corporate rights and privileges and franchises. The court appointed Mr K. Burnhaui Moffatt the -receiver, and require4 him to furnish a bond of 10,000 dollars. Trading was stagnant throughout the day. Atchison was still the most conspicuous stock on the list, with Oregon Transcontinental a good second.

i.- I Ravages of a Cyclone. 26 Workmen Blown from a Railway Bridge. 10 PERSONS BURIED ALIVE, IBHUTEB'S TELEGRAM. 1 NEW YORK. Saturday.—A destructive cyclone has visited the eastern states from Mary- land to Connecticut. At Point Rocks, in Maryland, 25 workmen were blown from a railway bridge, and several were killed. AtNewhaven, Connecticut, a building collapsed, Varying ten persons, one being killed. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The "Greatest Show on Earth" Wrecks o. (CENTRAL NEWS TKI.M; KAM.L NEW YORIt. Saturday.—The intense heat of the fast few days was followed yesterday by a cyclone storm which extended from Chicago to Boston, and which created a vast amount of damage in the district over wbich it passed. It wad most severely felt in tbe line of country lying between Pittsburg and Newhaven, and it is feared, when the full list of casual- ties has been received, that the loss of life will prove to have been very considerable. At Williamspoint, Penn., Barnum's, "The Greatest Show on Elrth," was partially wrecked at the time when the performance was proceeding. Ton of the employees were injured by the falling debris, and the crowd fearing that some of the wild animals might escape in the confusion became panic-stricken, and several were hurt in the rush to escape. Another panic occurred in a silk mill at Pottsville, where nearly all the employee!! are girls. In the rush from the place it was first reported that many had been crushed to death, but on inquiry it was found that only one was.

A Shocking Domestic Tragedy. -4-" About a year ago a clerk in a house of business United himself in the bonds of wedlock with a remarkably beautiful girl, the daughter of a merchant, who had been totally ruined by speculation. The couple seem to have got on well enough at first, but about a month ago the hus- band was struck with his wife's altered manner. She absented herself repeatedly from home on fntile pretexts, and her behaviour became so strange that the clerk decided on unravelling the mystery. On Thursday he despatched a note to his office saying that he could not attend as he was unwell, and bidding his wife adieu till the evening as usual he sallied forth and betook himself to a cafe situated in the immediate neigh- bourhood of his abode. For several hours lie sat in his hiding-place CAREFULLY NOTICING ALL THE PASSERS BT, but perceiving nothing of an abnormal character at the bouse which he inhabited with the partner of his joys and sorrows. Indeed, he was beginning to weary of the whole thing, and to arrive at the conclusion that there had not beon the slightest foundation for his suspicions. The clerk was on the point of exclaiming, like Titus, that he bad "lost a (iay," when suddenly he beheld his wife emerge from their home and walk rapidly in the direction of a smart carriage which had drawn up at a short distance. The husband was out of the caf6 and on the war-traij in a rnorn,-nt. He bad just time to see maficKmapouaa step into the vehielp, and to note the fact that a man was seated therein, when it drove off. The clerk, drawing a big knife from his pocket, ran after the carriage and called on the coachman to stop. His wife, on the oMmr hand, exhorted the Jehu to urge on his horses. The driver complied with her pressing request, and for a short time there was a sharp race, but the poor clerk was soon distanced, and, overcome by despair, he stabbed himself in the region of the heart and fell to the ground weltering in his blood. He was removed 1D a very critical condition to tbe nearest hospital.

GROSS CASE OF INDECENCY IN CARDIFF. At the Cardiff police-court, this morning, William Belhouse, labourer, residing at No. 8, Windsor road, and working with tyr England, potato merchant, was charged with indecently exposing himself in front of the window of Mr Jones, in Edwards-terrace, on the 11th inst. From the evidence of the ser- vant girl (which was too disgusting to be detailed) it appeared that he bad been in the habit of thns conducting himself, especially when he perceived her at the window. She had no doubt whatever as to his being the man who had appeared before the window on previous occaiqions. -P.C. George said from information be received he watched the place, and this morning caught him in tho act of misbehaving himself. He promptly took him into custody.— The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he was a respectable married man, and did not know there was a woman near. The Mayor, who said there could be no doubt as to his guilt, and that it was one of the grossest cases of indecency he had heard of for a long time, sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months with hard labour.

THE LIGHT-FINGERED FRATERNITY. Contrary to what has baen stated, not a single English pickpocket has been arrested in Paris since the opening of the exhibition. Of the 17 mem burs of the light-fingered fraternity who are now under Jock and key some are Italians, and others Germans or Americans. The police (according LO a Paris correspondent) are rather surprised at the absence of the British thieving element, which was always represented strongly at previous exhibitions, and they attribute it to the "anthropometric system which is now used in the Paris central police station for the identification of criminals. Three of the foreign pickpcckets recently arrested have each been condemned to five years' imprisonment.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A CARDIFF ENGINE DRIVER, Discovery of the Body. This morning P.C. Perkins found floating in the Watt Bute Dock the body of a man, whose name is at present unknown, but which is believed to be that, ot an engine driver who was employed in the Cambrian works, but who has been missing since last night week. He is apparently about 20 years of age, and as the friends of the missing man have not yet had an opportunity of inspect- ing the disfigured remains, the police cannot say whose remains are now lying at the police-station mortuary.

DECOMPOSED MEAT IN CARDIFF MARKET. At the Cardiff police-cornt, this morning- before the Mayor, and Messrs Jacobs and D. E, Jones-the Inspector of Nuisances, Mr David Vaugban, applied to the bench to order the confis- cation of 61 lbs of beef and a neck of mutton which were exposed for sale that morning in a ■tall in Cardiff Market belonging to Jane David. The medical otfioer, Dr Walford, said it was quite unfit fur human food, and was in a decomposed state. The meat was ordered to be oonfioated, and a summons to be issued against tho defendant.

r Green-room Gossip, The National Musical Association of Wales is, the Daily Telegraph is glad to know, perfecting its organisation with a view to entrance upon active work. A meeting of the executive committee took place recently, at which was substituted a rough draft of a scheme of operations, to a great extent founded upon the suggestions of Mr Joseph Bennett's paper, The Possibilities of Welsh Music." Tho scheme contemplates a vigorous effort on behalf of instrumental music—so neglected in the Principality-and provides for a supply of teachers and lecturers in connection with this important branch of the art. There is now hope that musical Wales will soon cease to be vI only. # 1f Mr Josei Arnold Cave is said to be the senior theatrical imager in the metropolis, though possibly I'* Sara Lane, the manageress of the Britannia, might resent that claim. Poor Mr Cave, so well-known for years at the Mary- lebone, the Victoria, the Alhambra, the Elephant and Castle, the S < ilor's-wells theatres, is in troubled waters,' through fate-not his own fault—and his friends in town and country are anxious to see him on dry land again. The movement for a complimentary benefit has the support of Mr Henry Irving, Mr Augustus Harris, Mr J. L. Toole, Mr Edward Terry, and Mr Wilson Barrett, among many others. • Mr Hare, it is said, has declined to allow Miss Kate Rorke to appear in Professor Herkomer's forthcoming pictorial music play," and the character assigned to that lady will be imper- sonated by Miss Dorothy Dene, whose power of pantomimic expression, since albe will have nothing to sing, and very little to say, must needs endure a great strain. The Argonaut of San Francisco says :-A manager, Ernest Gye, Mme. Albani's husband, thinks that the slip-shod method in vogue lately among Italian opera managers has given the finely appointed German operas a prominence in America that they do not deserve, and he intends to revive Italian opera next year, Mme. Albani is to head his company, and the other members will be Americans also, if Americans with voices and method can be secured. X « t News of Mr Santley has come from the Red Sea. His health and spirits are excellent, lem pered only by the exceeding beat. At Brindisi he was gratified by receiving a card of good wishes, which Sir Charles Halli bad forwarded from Naples. Mr Charles Banks, the tenor, has resolved to try his fortune on the lyric stage, and next week leaves London to begin a course of training under Italian masters. Wishes for success go with him. » » One of the most interesting first nights next week will be at the Olympic. Mr John Coleman's new play is in a forward state, and will be produced, very probably, on Thursday next. It will be called either The Dead Witness or The Silent Witness. Mr Frank Cooper, who has been londj missed from London, has been engaged for the youthful hero, and a totally new kind of stage villain will be entrusted to Mr F, M. Paget. A part of sympathetic interest will be allotted to Mr Gerald Maxwell, a son of the popular authoress, Miss M. E. Braddon. It is rumoured that a new enterprise for the performance of English opera will shortly be set on foot, backed both by experience and capital. < < The Duke of Beaufort snd Mr John Hollings- bead will be chairman and vice-chairman respectively of the smoking concert given at the Freemasons' Tavern, on the evening of May 13tb, as a compliment to Mr E. B. Hartt, once well known as the acting-manager at the Gaiety Theatre. • • Mr W. S. Penley, who for the moment is on leave and not acting in London, as a personal favour to an old friend, is to appear in his orignal character of Zedekiah Aspen, in Uncles and Aunts, at the Prince's Theatre, Manchester, for one week only. w Mr Osmond Tearle's son, 17 years old, made his first appearance on any stage in a recent perform- ance of Julius Cassmr, at Stratford-on-Avon, under the nom de theatre of George, Seymour, at the same aga as that at which his father made his theatrical débnt, and in the same play in which Mr Tearle first appeared in public. 1f Mr Henry Neville informs the Era tbat Human Nature continues its prosperous career. The railway lines from Wolverhampton and Birmingham run almost parallel for several miles, and on Sunday last an exciting race took place between Mr Augustus Harris's two specials bearing Human Nature and the Armada. After much fun and cheering the trains met at Water Orton Junction, and the companies, num- bering nearly sixty persons, exchanged greetings. During one of the performances of The Orip of Iron at Ashton-under-Lyne a woman was so carried away by the strangling scene in the last act that she took off her bonnet and threw it at the strangler. Not content with that, she next threw her umbrella, which came within three inches of the eye of the gentleman who was being strangled. The lady subsequently apologised, and the articles were returned to her. • WW The stupidity of one of the II gods" was nearly the cause of a great disaster at the Theatre Royal, Melbourne. The house was crowded, and the large audience were getting in a fever of excitement over The World, when, the house bein n com- parative darkness, a larrikin in the gallery struck a red match. Many people could only see the glare, and a panic at once seized the excited audience, who rushed madly to the exit doors. In vain the actors and the band endeavoured to stop the excitement, but when a terrible catastrophe seemed imminent a scene painter rushed to the rescue. Ordering a scene with a light ground to be immediately lowered, he seized a large brush and pot of paint, and daubed upon it in big letters, There is no danger, keep your seats." By gesticulation the actors drew attention to this, and the panic sub- sided.

THE LOSS OF THE ST. AUDRIES, OF CARDIFF. MISLEADING LIGHTS ON THE FRENCH COAST. Judgment. The Board of Trade inquiry into the total loss of the BB. St Audries, owued by Mr James Ware, of Cardiff, was concluded on Friday at the Town- hall, Cardiff, before Mr T. W. Lewis (stipendiary) and Captains Richardson and Wilson, nautical assessors. Mr Waldron appeared for the Board of Trade, Mr Vacbell for the owner, and Mr T. H. Stephens for the master of the vessel. A very remarkable state of affairs was revealed by the evidence. The St Audries left Cardiff for Sables d'Olonne, a small port on the west coast of France, with a cargo of coal, and all went well, the weather being fine and clear, until the night of April the 3rd, the vessel being then off the entrance to the harbour of Sables d'Olonne. The master, Captain John Jones, who was acquainted with the locality, distinctly saw the two leading red harbour lights, and, following the sailing directions, altered the course of hts vessel until the two lights were in line, one above the other, when he steered straight towards them, it being the invariable rule tct go ahead when the two red lights are in one. The vessel was goinp; half speed when she struck on the Mouch Rock and rapidly became a total wreck, the captain and crew saving hardiy any of their effects. When the captain got ashore he signed a formal protest against the position of the lights, and in this action he was seconded by the British consular agent. The Board of Trade bad instituted inquiries, with the result that it was found that the line of the lights intersected the north channel at a point only 60 yards distant from the dangerous Moucb reef. Consequently, a vessel steering straight for the lights, but subject to a heavy ground swell, as was the case with the St Audries, was liable to be driven on to the rocks. The southern channel was safer. It also appeared that the captain was on the bridge at the time the vessel struck, looking for a buoy, which he afterwards learned had been washed away. It has since been replaced. The court exonerated the captain from all blame, but he was cautioned to use the lead more frequently. They recommended that all strangers attempting to enter the port should obtain a pilot, and the southern channel was the safer.

A WOLVERHAMPTON TRAGEDY. Yesterday, at Wolverhampton, Stephen Pacitto, an Italian ice-cream vendor, was charged with the murder of Alfred Bateman on July 30th last. Antonio Feritto, another Italian, who was previously charged with the murder and ac- quitted, deposed that Pacitto flourished his ice pricker and threatened to stab the Englishmen, including Bateman, who were attacking him. Another Italian, who admitted that Pacitto had confessed the murder to him, refused to produce important documents, and the Crown solicitor said he had been tampered with. He also asserted that another important witness had been removed. Prisoner was remanded in custody.

A LOCAL BANKRUPTCY CASE.

The bankrupt was formerly proprietor of the Caradog and Llynvi Valley collieries and tbe Crown Copper Works, Neath, No offences were allogedr.

An Attempt to Get Rid of a Wife. m I A SENSATIONAL TRIAL -I The authorities at Versailles are now engaged in trying a farmer named Lecomte, who made repeated attempts of the most brutal, although bungling description to get rid of his wife, in order to turn her insurance policies into ready cash. Lecomte, who ii ved at Orgeval, is a man about thirty-six years old, and of sinister aspect. Over his peasant's blouse he wore an overcoat, according to the usual custom of farmers, and a coloured handkerchief. Madame Lecomte is a few years younger than her exemplary lord and master, whose murderous intents she successfully thwarted, so that she was able to appear against him this morning. The details of the case threw some INTERESTING LIGHTS ON "RENCH PBA3AXT LITE. Lecomte had a farm which brought him in about 31,000f, or £1,240 a year. His first wife bad a good dowry, but after her death Lecomte neglected his affairs, and in a few years was in serious difficulties. Through the intermediary of a useful bagman "-—who, while exhibiting samples of his merchandise and obtaining orders for the same, was in the habit of making matri- monial matches for his country customers- Lecomte was introduced to Mdlle. Chauvin, from Paris, who was one of those demoiselles avec tache mentioned periodically in marriage advertise- ments in the papers. The tache, or blemish," arose from the fact that she had I A LOVEB OF A VERY ACCOMMODATING DISPOSITION, I and not at all jealous or averse to any advantageous offer which the young woman might receive from eligible hymeneal candidates. To compensate for the blemish," Mdlle. Chauvin had a dot of nearly 2500, which, although small, would enable Lecomte to tide over temporary difficulties. The marriage took place in due course, and shortly afterwards Lecomte insured the hfe of his wife in two companies for sums amounting altogether to about £ 1,500. Then be set to work to emulate the late lamented Lucrezia Borgia. He began by dropping small doses of arsenic into his wife's tea, but Madame Lecomte, without having precisely a cast-iron interior, was evidently of robust constitution, for the poison took no effect upon her, Madame Lecomte in the meantime bad her suspicions, yet, strange to say, she communicated them to nobody, but I WATCHED AND WAITED. Her husband next dosed her soup, but bungled over the operation, inasmuch as he persisted in serving it at dinner, which was altogether contrary to his usual custom. Accordingly Madame Lecomte asked her charming partner to partake of the delicacy himself, but be refused plumply, saying that be had already taken his portion. The woman hereupon boldly accused her husband of sinister intentions, but as be protested against her want of confidence she still remained silent, and kept her secret to herself. Lecomte now tried another way "of demolishing his better half. When they were driving home in the dark one night from Poissy the fellow I ENDEAVOURED TO FRIGHTEN HIS WIPE by telling her that the road was infested by foot. pads, and that he had once been attacked himself. Suddenly the lantern of the vehicle was put out, and Madame Lecomte, suspecting something, felt in her husband's big coat-pocket in which he usually kept his revolver, and found to her horror that the weapon had been removed therefrom. Give me your hand," she said, I'm afraid J" and for ten minutes she grasped her husband's left hand, his right being devoted to directing the horse. Without warning, however, be threw down the reins and fired twice at his companion. She fell back in the carriage, and, being but slightly wounded, pretended to be dead, feeling that if she stirred, she would be killed outright, as there were still three bullets in the revolver. Lecomte whipped up his horse and drove to the mayor's office, at Orgeval, where he recounted that his wife had been shot dead by footpads. HE WAS DISAGREEABLY SURPRISED to find her still alive, so she was taken home, and a squad of gendarmes was sent out to scour the countryside for the fictitious robbers. While bis wife was ill Lecomte renewed his experiments with the arsenic a third time, and was seen by a servant-not, however, before Madame Lecomte had taken a dose. The poor woman, what with het wounds and the poison, was at death's door, but, wonderful to relate, again recovered. Lecomte was arrested, but has all along denied his guilt in the feeblest manner. He accused the servants of the attemptp to poison Madame Lecomte,[and in court yesterday could offer no other defence. His victim was questioned as to her extraordinary patience and reticence respecting the repeated efforts made by the prisoner at the bar to get rid of her, and this most amazing of step-mothers answered that she adored Lecomte's little boy- the child of the rascal's first marriage-and could not bring herself to accuse the father. The case has not concluded, and its peculiar elements of sensation have attracted considerable public attention in Paris as well as in the towns of the Department of the Seine-et-Oise, where the principal scenes of the domestic drama took place.

A Charge of Killing a Daughter. She's in the Death Club, and We Shall Get the Money."

I CARDIFF EXCHANGE. BUTE DOCKS, FRIDAY. There was a good attendance on 'Change to-day, but the volume of business effected was hardly up to tbe average of tbe week. For steam coal there was only a moderate inquiry, and there was not a great deal doing in the house coal trade.

Rates for this direction continue moderately firm, as were also Spanish and Gibraltar rates. Bay port freights continue steady Baltic and coasting quiet States outward quotations remain unchanged.
