The disaster occurred on the 6th inst off Cape Tibtiron, a remote spot on the Haptian coast, and it was so terribly com- plete that the newts did not reach the capital till about a Week afterwards. the only survivor of ninety men, who were on board at the time of the disaster, is a, coloured seaman. He went down with the vessel, and on coming to the surface was able to seize a plank from the wreckage around him, on which he floated in the open sea for a day and a half.

EATEN BY CRABS. Inqu^t on the Body Found at Melyn- crythan. Mr. Howel Cuthbertson, coroner, held an inquiry at the Glamorgan Hotel, Melinory- than, on Friday afternoon, into the circum- stances attending the death of one. dames Mills, whose body was found in the Neath River on Thursday morning. The body was discovered by a tinman, named Benjamin Rees, in the middle of the river face down- wards. There were wounds over the right eye and on the back of the head, from which the blood was oozing. These were caused by crabs. On the deceased were found four pawn- tickets, drawn at Ferndale and Aberavon this month. Police-constable Iles said that deceased was probably a nawy, but the police had failed to obtain any facts respecting his relatives. Dr. J. W.

WILFRED MURRAY. Mrs. Hurlbert Says She Knew Him and Can Give Important Evidence. Tha "Law Journal" reports that it had re- ceived a letter from Mrs. Hurlbert relative to the ease between her husband and Gladys Evelyn. Mrs. Hurlbert states that she her- self Knew Wilfred Murray, and that she is in a pifcition to prove that upon several of the occasions upon which Wilfred Murray is alleged to have been with the plaintiff Mr. Hurlbert was at the time in a totally different locality. It, ifi but fair to say (adds the "Law Journal") thai if the extraordinary statements made in her letter to us are in any way true —and they certainly bear upon the face of them a considerable imprint of veracity—it is more tiim ewet im per ttwiV that tEe matfcer should be cleared up in a court of law.

ENGLISH COAL WAR. Collieries Resuming Work. OWNER8' ENORMOUS LOSSES. Although the ooalowners have decided to meet the representatives of the men to discuss terms of settlement, they have no intention of receding from the position originally adopted Owing to the enormous losses they have sus tained through the strike and the general pros tration of trade, it is doubtful whether the coalowners will now accept any modi. I fication of the 25 per cent. reduction. Consequently, at the approaching conference with the men they will, it is expected, announce I that the only alternative to the full reduction is arbitration. If the men will not give way on this point, the struggle will be prolonged until each district enters into an independent arrange- ment with the employers. Already two distinct bases of settlement have been effected. These separate arrangements will tend to the collapse of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, and as the funds of that organisation are now exhausted, there is no longer any financial basis of co-operation. The Position in Derbyshire. A change has taken place in Derbyshire amongst the miners on strike, the Union pay having ceased after the men had been assured they had plenty of money with which to fight the battle. Mr. James Haslam, chief secretary, is now in London trying to raise money on loan from members of Parliament who secured mining votes at the last election, but there is no security to offer, and substantial assistance is hardly expected. Meeting of Midland Miners. At a meeting of the executive board of the Midland Miners' Federation on Friday in Man- chester, a resolution was passed disapproving of the action of the Forest of Dean miners in submitting to a 20 per cent. reduction, and also their acceptance of the sliding-scale. The meet- ing agreed that a resolution should be submitted to the districts composing the Midland Federation, and that a special conference be called to con- sider the attitude of the federation in reference to the Forest of Dean. It was agreed, further, to call upon districts which had resumed work at the old rate of wages to contribute the highest possible amounts in support of unemployed miners. The Position in Flintshire. The Central News Mold correspondent tele- graphs that a detachment of Cavalry arrived on Friday, and will remain for the purpose of assist- ing the police in protecting colliers who are continuing at work, and preventing attacks and disorder threatened by miners on strike in various parts of Flintshire. Decisive Action of Durham Miners. The present state of affairs of the Durham Mining Federation Board and Durham Miners' Association has ended in the miners giving notice of motion to dismiss their agents and leave the federation board. It is not believed that the executive council will agree to this course.

MITCH ELL-CORBETT FIGHT. Charlie Means Business, and Will Go into Training on Tuesday. A telegram from New York this morning says:—A Dalziel representative interviewed* Charlie Mitchell at Hoffmann House here late last night. Mitchell said I have just left Mr. Newton, president of the Coney Island Athletic Club, and Johnnie Eck- hardt, the referee. I think I will agree to fight there during the third week in December. The articles of agreement submitted to me by the Coney Island Athletic Club appear fair. 1 will look them over again and sign to-morrow. The articles call for a deposit of 10,000 dollars each." Mitchell has made a deposit, and Corbett has guaranteed his appearance in the ring. Besides the stakes there is 40,000 dollars offered by the Coney Island Athletic Club, When Mr. Newton and Charlie Mitchell met the following conversation took place ;— Newton I mean business. Mitchell: I am here for the same purpose. I never received your first cable offering a 40,000 dollars purse to fight at the Coney Island Athletic Club. Newton: I was waiting till you landed in the United States. Mitchell said that Corbett was a very nice man, and "I do not blame him for making all he can out of the fighting business," he added. "When. however, he says that I must fight at Coney Island it makes me tired. I will fight him and do my best to win. I have always done the right thing. When we first signed Corbett told the people I did not mean to fight. Just wait until December and see." Mitchell will go into training on Tuesday, but has not as yet made -up his mind where.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER. Hacking a Wowan with a Chopper at Aston. A shocking attempt at murder took place on Thursday in William-street^ Aston. It seems that an ammunition worket, named Florrie Clifford, 18, who works at Kynoch and Co.'s, Witton, for some time past has been living with William Hayes, a bricklayer's labourer. The man's conduct appfearfe to have been charac- terised by a brutality which could have but one ultimate ebjeet--the termina- tion of the relationship. The end was reached on Tuesday evening last, wheii Clifford determined to go back to het. mother's house in Jubilee terrace, LennSk-street, which is closely contiguous to William-street. On Thursday evening Clifford and her mother proceeded to Hayes' house, the former desiring to take away her linen; Clifford entered the house, and the mother remained outside. While Conversing with Mrs: Hayes in the court Mrs. Clifford heard screams proceeding from the house. The girl's mother rushed in, and was horrified to find her daughter lying in a pool of blood on the floor, and Hayes standing over her, chopper in hand, hacking savagely at the unfeApjty girl's head: The girl had a terrible wound On her head, and seeing this, Mrs. Clifford screamed out, "For God's sake, stop; don't murder, her." The fellow then left his victim and rushed at Mrs. Clifford flourishing the chopper in such a manner as to pause the woman to run terrified froiti the house. As it was she received a blow on the arm from the weapon^ which inflicted a skin wound 2in. at 3ih. long. Having got rid of the mother, it is asserted that Haygs once more turned his attention to the girl and renewed his brutal attack with the chopper; Striking het several Setere blows about tfife head with the hatchet. Mrs. Clifford; on seeing what was going on, renewed her screams, and a number of neighbours cftine to I the assistance of the now unconscious girl. Seeing that he was now otitnumberfcd Hayes bolted down the entry, dropping- the incrimi- nating chopper. Clifford was with all speed conveyed to the general hospital, where it was found, that she had sustained two fractures of the skull, the right ear was badly cut, and there were several injuries also to the upper part of the body. ■WwdMttoMril Hi Ml-Ml •liiiilii^iin

Suspicious Character at Newport At Newport Borough Police-court. oh Friday (before Mr. Henry Phillips and other magis- trates) George Taylor, a young man, wa.s charged With loitering1 in Dock-street for the purpose of committing a feloiiy. At one o'clock on Friday morning Police-constable Hamer heard a disturbance in a urinal in Dock-street. One man came out and ran away, but upon going into the place the ofliefcr found the prisoner. He questioned prisoner, who said he had come from Pontypool that day and had gone into the urinal to rest. He was a seatnan, and had been engaged in the American liner Paris. Upon looking round, the constable found an iron dog," which is used op board Vessels, aild some thin pieces of steel, lie thereupon arrested the in ah oh suspicion. At thei police-station, he found two pawn-tickets conOSalSd iii the lining- in prisoner's coat-one for goods pledged at Southampton, and the other at Winchester. A. character from a Southamp- ton firm was also foufid in prisoner's possession. —Taylor, who denied the charge, was reman- ded for si week, in order to allow enquiries to be ^madeby the p«lice. de ,by tile .police.J i

WELSH ATHLETE Gives a Forecast of To- day's Matches. CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING. THE POET SINGS. Oh, here we are again, my boys, And football's all the rage. Behold the Athlete strut about Upon his mimic stage. Once more we'll make the fur te fly, And send our tips around And (truly now) for solid worth Their equal can't be found. CHORUS: Oh, we're a splendid couple, And we'll tell you by and bye, The very thing's you want to know, The Welsh Athlete and I There's nothing much to guide us In the shape of form this year, But we must do our level best To prophecy'tis clear. And if we're rusty at the start It will not linger long So listen now, my reader, dear- To your own poet's song. Chorus, &e. First Coventry and Newport meet Upon the Newport ground. Amongst the Black and Amber some Old favourites won't be found. Yet there's enough of spirit left The Boys of Usk to warm. Two goals two tries to but a try- The English camp they storm. Chorus, &c. Now, Swansea 'gainst the Cardiff 'Quins TfesLr warfare briskly wage. The copper boys are stronger than When last upon the stage. A goal two tries they'll beat the Quins, after a pretty mill: The Cardiff score, I grieve to state, Must be described as nil. Chorus, &c. Llanelly versus Morriston On Stradey ground we see. And Conway Rees in arms against His former chums will be. Yet will Llanelly win the day. A goal and try they score, Whilst Morriston content must be With one poor try—no more Chorus, &c. And lastly Pontypridd and Neath Will show a splendid game, And Neath will manage by a, scratch The other folks to tame. Three tries to Neath is all I give, One try to Pontypridd. MY story's done, and so am I— To goodness, yes indeed CHORUS. So now you know our last tips, Ard we are pretty fly Just note our record in the past, The Welsh Athlete and I! Three of Newport's choicest footballers are still missing from the list of players set down to do battle for the amber and black brigade against the Midland Cup holders this afternoon. With such a. tall fixture card as the Usksiders have for the ensuing season they can ill afford to lose Graham, Hannen, and Peroy Phillips. Last season's skipper is, I regret to hear, not likely to strip again, but Hannen, I fancy, only requires a little squeezing to get him back to the ranks, where be has been a stalwart for half a dozen winters. But Newport will miss Percy Phillips more filiiiir I 'in ii TT ilf ba?b3.of Jiis. stamp are not picked up easily. It is whispered that Percy has notions towards the benedictive order. He's going the way of most flesh, they syy, and is going to run in double harness. Not just yet, I hope, and if the lady herself doesn't care about football she ought to receive a depu- tation of all the votaries of the towri—ladies excepted—to ask her to kindly allow her hero to continue a hero in other ranks than those of love, for a season at least. The Association men make a start this after- noon, and on their new ground, in the North- road, the Cardiff exponents of the soccer game meet Neath, to whom, unless I have coh- siderably under estimated the strength of the hottie team, Cardiff should give a good ..tÿing up. The Gardiffians have been strengthened this year in many respects. They have five or six new men in the team, so as last year's lot were pretty good ones, the new comers ought- to be decidedly above the average, or the old 'nns would not have had to step down for them, Then they have got a strong list of offi- cials, and, better than all, good men behind the scenes to back them up. With these advan- tages the clufe certainly ought to flourish. Apropos of Association, Mr. Taylor, of Wrexham, forwards me the fixture list for the Welsh Football Association. I note that the North v. South match is on the card, but that loeked for announcement, Wales v. Ireland, in South Wales, takes a long time to definitely settle. INTERNATIONAL MATCHES.

At a meeting of the Canton Harriers, held at the Half-Way Hotel, dstthedfal-foad, on Wed- iiesday night, the following gentlemen were elected to office for thte Ensuing season Captain, J. H. Keepings; vice, A. Cnllum coiilriiittee, E. P. Jones, F. Shannon, 39: Thomas' C. Dovener, and F. Wheeler.

In the Swansea-'Quihs match Prescott wilI not play and Owen will take his place behind the scrum with Blackmore. Gilbert Evswis will also hate to Stand down to make room for Thdro- good. These changes will undoubtedly strengthen the team, but to make a good show against the Cardiff Harlequins there will have to be a far better display all round than against Oldham. Mr. W. Wilkihs will perform the solo on the whistle.

TURF TALK. Gossip About Racers and Racing Men. 1 TIPS FOR TO-DAY. The St. Leger of 1895 will be worth £4,185. Sam Loates is to have his license next year. The N.H. Committee are going to lower the Weights in long distance steeplechases. This should prove a great boon to owners of moderate horses. Marcellus, the property of Lord Marcus Beresford, and trained by A. Nightingall, is fancied as a high flyer at the timber-topping game, and is well entered already. Looking for the horse that did not arrive. I The Vigil is to be sold by auction on Sep- tember 27, and it said she is likely to make a good hurdle racer. Then why does not H.R.H. the Prince of Wales have the filly trained for jumping ? Mr. Peacock, the well-known amateur rider, does not think his horse Golden Drop can be got ready in time for the Cesarewitch.

AN OPEN SWITCH. The Cause of a Terrible. Crash on a Railway. | 12 KILLED; 15 INJURED. | A Reuter's telegram from New York on Fri-/ day says:—A telegram from Kingsbury,; Indiana, states that an East-bound passenger) train on the Wabash Railroad ran into a freight train this morning. The engines of both trains were wrecked as were also the carriages of the passenger train, including a sleeping car. TYn persons are believed to have been killed. Carriages Telescoped. A Dalziel's telegram from Chicago says • Further details of the aocident on the Wabosa line show that twelve bodies were recovered at noon, and that ten more are visible. The cars were piled up and jumbled together in a shape- less mass of wood and iron. The switch bad been left upon by a careless employe, and the express, which was travelling at the rate of 5C miles an hour, dashed into the goods train. Both engines and luggage cars, two-day coaches and one Pullman sleeping carriage were tele scoped. Most of the passengers were in the dal coach. The Wabash Company have just issuec a bulletin announcing the accident, and stating that twelve lives have been lost, and that fifteen persons have been injured. This, however, ia believed to be much below the actual figure. Some of the injured. Among the injured are William Adams, < member of the Orphan Bellriugers, whose legf were taken, and who is likely to die owing t( severe injuries. Another passenger, WiUiaaf Haskings, had one of his legs fractured and his left shoulder broken, and slight hopes of hit recovery are entertained. Edward Rush had his head badly cut, and Albert Morton's arms were somewhat seriously hurt. The laboye mentioned are all from London. A Signalman's Error. The wreck of the train was the second section of the express which left Detroit at ten o'clock on Friday night. The goods train with which it collided had orders to allow it to pass at Kingsbury. In order to carry out these instruct tions the goods train was shunted to a siding, where it remained till the first section of they express had passed, when the brakeman of the: latter train unwisely opened the switch to allow the goods train to regain the main line. Before this; could be accomplished the express train came; along at high speed, and, there being no time to j close tho switch, it dashed into the goods, train. Force of the Collision. 1 So great was the force of the colliBion tba. fragments of the boiler of the expre-« were blown fifty yards away, and several persons were i killed by falling pieces. Tiie first body taken, i out from the ruins of the smoking car was that, of Henry French, from London. The pas sen-! gers in tne sleeping carriages were all in theirr berths asleep, and they had no opportunity or;, saving themselves, yet, strang* to say, few of thoia ->VPIC killtJ, aoct of the fatalities Iii. the passenger coaches and the smoker ahead of them. These vehicles were completely shatterod, and most of the occupants were crushed to death. An Awrul Death. 1 The engine-driver of the express met with an, awful death. He had no time to jump to sa.V41 himself, and was thrown from the cab through the front window over his own engine and engine of the goods train and crushed under debris. A Barnardo Boy Killed. A number of boys from Dr. Baraardo's Orphanage, London, were in the train, and were badly injured, but, so far as can be at present ascertained, only one, Harry Finch, has been killed. It is feared, however, that others will succumb to their injuries. Mr. Weekly, the f manager, has been badly injured.
