Pontypridd PROBABLES V. POSSIBLES. The final practice match of the Cardiff Football Club was played on the Park this afternoon before 4,000 people. Several changes were made at the last minute in the composition of both teams, the men turning out as follows Probables Back, Smithson; three-quarter backs, T. W. Pearson, E. P. Biggs, A. P. Case, and C. Williams; half backs, R. B. Sweet-Escott (captain) and S. Biggs; forwards, A. Lev/is, W. Davies, R. Davies, R. Guinea, S. Ramsey, T. Dobson, W. H. Smith, and J. Palmer.. Possibles Back, n. Hughes; three-quarter backs, E. Kooney (captain), E. G. Nicliolls, A. M. Hill, W. Howells, and Ivor P. Jones; half backs, Francis and Merritt forwards, V.T. Tvynde, J Murray, Buichhi, A. Sweet-Escott, A. Nell, C. H. Cecil, Dalrymple, Brind, W. Cosslett, and F. J. Green. Referee: Mr W. E. Jarman. Starting from the racket court end A. Sweet- Escott started for the Possibles. Pearson returned into touch at half-way. Between here and the Pro- bables' line play then settled, the Possibles having slightly the best of it until Case, intercepting a pass, ran to half-way. A. M. Hill and Howells, with a run, took play to the old spot, but again a dribble by the Probables' forwards saw the ball in the Possibles' half, but only to find the veteran Hughes at home, and he, punting in all bis old style. sent play back to his opponents' half. A few minutes litter the Pro) tables' three-quarters got in motion, but very little ground was gained, and, aftct, the ball had gone right across the fourth line Howells pulled down E. P. Biggs when the latter was justover the half-way line. Good dribbling by the Probables' forwards next carried play on to the Possible line, but the whites were "1] at home, and again Hughes, hampered by two or three of the opposing forwards, and found touph over the half-way line For the next five minuses, play rested at half-way, then the left wing of the Probables got in motion, but E. P. Biggs was pulled down. Over on the other wing, however, R. B. Sweet-Escott and Pearson had better luck, but after managing to get on to the goallille,onc the Possibles' backs rushed up in the nick of time, and kicked the ball dead. On re-starting, play rested in the Possibles' half. Witli one man in the scrummage, the whites' pack held the advantage, and a couple of Possibles coming through a scrimmage took play right up to SmithscD. The latter got possession, and Merritt rushing up transferred stiil further to his opponents' half. The Probables back, however, managed by superior cleverness in the open to bring play bacJc to the whites' 25, where after Hughes had been pulled down, R. B. Sweet-Escott picked up in the loose and Started- passing, which, travelling respectively to S. Biggs, Pearson, and C. Williams, eventually reached E P. Biggs, who, nearing the Possibles' goal line, went over in the grasp of Howells, but managed to open the scoring sheet. Pearson made a fine eilort at goal from the touch line, but hardly lifted it far enough, the ball dropping on to the cross bar, and bounding back into the field of play. Hughes re- started, and after a couple of exchanges Smithson kicked into touch at half way. 'Half time was called with the score standing- Probables 1 try, 1 minor Possibles Nil Gus Lewis re-started for the Probables, and Coslett brought the bull to close on half-way when he fell. Pearson took a flying kick, which was charged down, and the result of some scrambling play was Merritt making his mark at half-way. 'fhe Probables back line were the first to get in motion, but eventually Sweet- Escott had to kick to touch. For the next few minutes the back line of the Probables was constantly in motion; but the whites tackling, with the assistance of the extra man, frustrated all attempts to break through them. A free to the Possibles was taken by Hughes, but Pearson returned with advantage, and play again settled at mid-field. Ivor Jones attempted to get through, but Pearson pulled him down, and from a dribble now started the Probables got up to the Possibles' line. Hughes only partly checked the rush, and then a scramble along the line saw Smith obtain pessession and get over by the 30sts. Taking the kick himself, he hesitated i moment, and had the kick charged down. On re- starting play was momentarily in the Probables's quarters, when from some loose passing by the whites Sweet-Escott obtained possession. Dodging several of his opponents he got to Hughes, who failed to stop him, and with a clear field Escott had no difficulty in gcitiag over, although he was tackled just as he dropped. Smithson took the kick, and was success- ful in just placing the ball inside the upright. Guinea and Lewis were the next pair to show prominently, and from their own side of the half-way line the pair dribbled :up to Hughes at his 25 line, where the latter turned the ball into touch. A couple of hot at tacks by the Probables' forwards, and then by sheer weight the Possibles' ten scrummaged to half- way. Here the whites' back line got a chance, but bad passing by Rooney lost his co-centre a chance. Again from scrimmaging in his own 25 Sweet-Escott got a chance, and fine inter-passing betwixt he and Biggs wovdd have been a certain try for one of the pair, had not the whistle called them back. On the other side. Francis was next consspicuons by a good run, which reached well into his opponents' half, but here the Probables' forwards broke away in a line, and some fine passing took play to within ten yards of the line, where a wild pass lost the opportunity. The blue and blacks were soon again attacking, however, and DICk Davies got closo up only to be pulled down. On the floor he managed to give a pass to Pearson, the ex-captain romping behind thr posts. Ramsey took a shot at goal bill failed. Another attack by the bine and blacks third line ended in Williams taking a shot at goal; Hughes vouching down. At the ran of'time play was in mid-iield, the score reading :— Pr<Jbable 1 goal, 3 tries, 2 minors Possibles Nil COVENTRY V. NEWPORT. Newport opened the season this afternoon by taking on the Midland champions. Neither sicle was quite up to its full strength. The men faced the referee as follows Coventry:—Back, C. D. Pole; three-quarter ¡.l': A. H. Frith, F. E. Leveitt, and G. H. Tuke half backs, A. Slater (captain) and W. Rice forwards, C. J. Hill, Murphy, J. R. Bradshaw, W. Lamb, E. Richardson, C. Ekin, R. Hill, G. Carpenter, and Pillaway. Newport :—Back, T. England; three- quarter backs, Arthur J. Gould (captain), C. J. Thomas; F. H. Dauncey, and W. D. James (Aber- gavenny) half backs, F. C. Parfitt and M. Hannen forwards, A. W. Boucher, H. Packer, T. Pook, W. Groves, A. Henshaw, Wallace Watts, J. Bowley, and T. Newcombe. Keferee, Mr. D. W. Evans, Cardiff. The Coventry team had five changes since winning the Midland Cup last season, and Newport was with- out Graham, Hanueu, Percy Phillips, and Cooper. It was the first match of the season for Coventry, as well as Newport, and, considering the circumstances, a larger attendance could have been expected, the number present at the commencement of the play not being more than a couple of thousand. Later in in the afternoon, however, the attendance increased. TMI: PLAY. l'e 'i I' Newport opened the gam« by kicking off against the wind towards the gymnasium, and after a few minutes play Dauncey ran up and gave a good pass to Boucher, who got in with a try near the posts. England failed to rise the bull in taking the place, and the kick was unsuccessful. A sharp forward game ensued utter the drop out, operations being kept for a time in mid-iield. Ilannen, the Newport half, at length got away into the Coventry 25, but the taller Midland forward rushed back to no man's land. A. (fmIJ-1 showed fine form in picking1 up from Lereitt's toe "oj be dribbled away into the Newport half. Leveitt was shortly after allowed a freemr some off- side tackling, but no advantage accrued to the Mid- landers. Dauncey fielded a return kick, and rushed off to the Coventry 25, where passing took place between Gould and James, and the latter, droppitig the ball, it was drlbhl6d over the line, and Poo k got a try. A. Gould failed at the place kick, and no goal resulted. Newport cont:aued to attack with great vigour, Pole, the visitors' back, opportunely saving by touching' down after the ball had been kicked over the line. The passing on both aides w*g rather less accurate than the jlskside crowd had been accustomed to v/itness in former seasons. Coventry having v-oiked up to the Newport 25, Murphy, a fine forward with dashing style, almost scored, but was hauled down in time to avert a try. Slater, however, d ■ "lJpcc1 the tall over the home line and England kicln; dead. A good deal of pressure ensued in the Newport 25 until Hannen got away with a sprint and passed to Gould. who reached the centre. Back the ball came from a good dribble by Lamb,' and Coventry was given a penalty kick hr offside play. Carpenter's kick was very nearly successful. Dauncey j¡clcled it near the pose and touched down. The visiting forwards wcre l>i •; icmsclves rare scrimmagers, the weight of tf; riling against the Newport eicriit. Watts oil :ii length got away witli a splendid dribble to 25.

Packer at length got clear away from a scrum in mid-field, and racing off passed to Hannen, but the subsf ^uent handling on the part of the home rear lofcjtae for fraw j>prtect^ and the expected try did not come off. Gould, Pook, and Hannen in turn got close to scoring, but slippery fingers and the good defence by Coventry kept the ine intact. PENARTH V. LLWYNYPIA. This match was played at Penarth on a good turf, and before about 1,000 spectators. Both clubs were fully represented. The following is a list of the players :—Llwynypia Back, J. Hardridge; three- quarter backs, B. T. Phillips (captain), J. Ed- munds, T. Williams, and J. Baynham; half backs, A. Powell and Lowthom; forwards, L. M. Green, W. H. Mills, R. Hillings, J. Atkins, F. Casey, Royall, S. Meyrick, and Keen. Penarth Back, J. Tanner; three-quarter backs, H. Kirby, R 31. Garrett, H. E. Morgan (captain), and H. G. Alexander; half backs, G. W. Shepherd and W. G. Lambert; forwards, W. Gibbs, T. Morris, C. Spencer, E. Ellis, D. Evans, F. Matthews, A. Williams, and P. Jackson. Referee, Mr. W. T. Morgan. Penarth kicked oil and play was immediately taken into the visitors' 25. After one or two scrums had been fought Hardridge was forced to iouch down in defence. On resuming Llwynypia, by close forward work took play over the division line, where Penarth, being allowed a free Herbie Morgan, with a good kick, gained considerable ground. From a scrum on the visitors' quarter line, Lambert handed the ball to his confrere, who transferred to Garrett, but Kirby on re- ceiving the latter's pass was immediately, forced to touch. The Penarth backs were not to be denied, however, for the forwurds heeling out splendidly Alexander was given possession, and showing a won- derful turn of speed, beautifully rounded all his opponents, and scored about ton yards from the corner flag. Garrett s shot at goal was a failure. The homesters still kept up the pressure after the drop out, and Alexander made another brilliant run, having very hard lines in behig pushed into touch in g '3] after crossing the line- On resuming the visitors played up much better, and, by dashing play, managed to rush the leather into the Penarth 25. A series of tight scrums now took place on and about the homesters' 25 line, neither side gaining much ad- vantage. At last Shepherd got hold, and, dodging brilliantly through his opponents, got up to the full back, when he passed to Kirby, and the latter, easily out-distancing his pursuers, scored behind the posts. Matthews easily converted. Garrett replied to the visitors kick-off by sending the ball into touch at half-way. The Llwynypia backs now brought off their first bit of decent passing ond Williams, getting' away, got into the homesters' 25 before he was stodped. A deal of uninteresting play nTw took place in mid-field. Shepherd, getting possession from a serum, sent the ball out to his quartette, but the ball went right across the line without any ground being gained. Half-time was shortly afterwards called, the score reading:— Penarih 1 goal, 1 try, 2 minors Llwynypia nil Llwynypia re-started, and the homesters, with a bout of passing, immediately took piay into close proximity to the visitors goal line. After the Llwynypia men had made a short excursion to half- way, the homesters again began to attack, and the ball being sent over Morgan rushed up and scored. Matthews' kick at goal was a failure. Penarth still kept up the pressure after the drop out, and Kirby was only pushed into touch a yard .from the line. Directly afterwards Llwynypia wero 'forced to concede a minor. Play after this was still rigidly confined to the visitors' territory, and attack after attack were only averted in the nick of time the homesters, however, had to be satisfied with a couple of minors. From a scrum on the visitors' quarter line the Penarth quartette got possession and brought off a good round of passing, but no material advantage accrued. The Llwynpia front rank by hard work now took play into the homesters' territory for the first time in the second portion of the game. The Penarth forwards were now evidently tiring, for the Llwynypia eight, besides having slightly the best of in the tight scrums, managed to heel out much better than they had done ea Her in the game. Llwynypia now kept the home- st ;rs busily defending for several minutes. Tanner at last came to the rescue with a good kick and follow u ), which was the means of sending play over the half- line. Shortly afterwards Herbie Morgan put in a long kick, and Kirby foilowing up at a tremendous pace gained possession, and scored in the corner. Garrett's shot for goal was a fa; lure. Penarth were now met to be denied, and immediately afterwards Evans dribbled over aed scored. Garrett had very hard lines in kicking for goal, the ball striking the post. No sooner had Llwynypia kicked off than Garrett was over with another try. The kick at goal was once more a failure. Time was now called, the score standing :— Penarth 1 goal, 5 tries, 4 minors Llwynypia Nil. IdORKISTON V. LLANELLY. The scarlet runners made a start with their fixture card this afternoon by playing- Morriston on the Stradley Ground. There was a large attendance, and the visitors were accompanied by a large number of their supporters. The following were the teams Teams Llanelly Back, Every three-quarter backs, P. M. Lloyd (captain), Evan Lloyd, Lovering, and Ben James; half baoks, Ben Thomas and Marks; forwards, C. B. Nichol, D. W. Nichol, Daniels, W. Morris. W. Thomas, Martin Thomas, W. John, and D. G. Williams. Morristen: Back, Harry Eees three-quarter backs, Jack Davies, J. Thomas, Tom Whiter and Conway P-es haif backs, RosS" Thomas and Ivor Grey forwards, R. G. Edwards (captain), D. Fisher, T. Deacon, D. Mainwaring, Tom Roberts, R. G. Jones, Tom Jones, and G. Fowler. Referee: Mr. Copus, Swansea. Lovering kicked off for Llanelly down the slope, and, by a clever feint, followed by some pretty loose play, took the leather to the Morriston's 25, where the first scrum was formed. The visiting eight rushed this scrum splendidly, and, headed by their captain, transferred operations to half-way, where the home- sters were penalised. Llanelly retaliated by a fine dribble, in which the brothers Nicho s and D. G. Daniels were prominent. For an infringement of the off-side rule by the visitors Llanelly were awarded a free. Lovering took the kick, and an exchange of volleys between Ivor Grey and Evan Lloyd followed, play being left opposite the grand stand. Exciting play now ensued, and Percy Lloyd looked very dan- gerous. From a scrum in mid-field the home pack wheeled away beautifully, but the advantage was neutralised by kicking too hard. Conway Rees gained a lot of ground for Mor- riston from a free kick, and the home half was again invaded. A kick into touch by White sent the ball dangerously near the Llanelly line. Here the visitors were awarded a free, the result of which was a scrum on the line, and Llanelly touched down. After the kick out Conway Rees failed to held, and the scarlets were enabled to assume the aggressive, prssing between the visiting halves, and Conway Rees was not very successful, the tackling of the homesters being too good. A heavy hailstorm now swept across the ground, but the game continued to be waged with unabated vigour, and Jack Davies almost scored. A minute later Ross Thomas scored for Morriston after a pretty ruu. Harry Rees failed to convert. The visiting back distinguished himself by a fine run after the kick out, and the Llanelly 25 again became the venue of operations. Percy Lloyd, however, got possession, and got to more equable territory, he passed badly, however, and a good chance was lost. Jack Davies relieved by a strong kick. The home backs now resorted to passing, but Lovering missed the ball and nothing was gained. Half-time was then called with the score reading Morriston 0 1 1 LUan 0 0 0 CARDIFF RANGERS V. ABERGAVENNY. The Cardiff Ranger; pliyed the Abergavenny team in Bailey Park. The piay was rather (lull throughout, with plenty of scrums and a fair number of free kicks, but not much open play. Cardiff at first put the Abergavenny team on the defensive, but within ten minutes Abergavenny got the only goal during the match. In the second half the play was fairly equal, both sides having got very near, but failing to score. The result was Abergavenny, one goal and one minor; Rangers, one minor. Mr. Davies, Aber- gavenny, was the referee. SWANSEA V. HARLEQUINS. FINAl. SCORE.

BODIES WANTED. Singular Request to Cardiff Guardians. The usual weekly meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians was held at the Workhouse this afternoon, Dr. H. J. Paine presiding. Dr. PAINE mentioned that an application had been received by the board from the University College authorities, asking for the unclaimed bodies of paupers who die in the workhouse for purposes of scientific teach ing. The college, continued the chairman, had been very successful in other studies, and he recommended the board to agree to the applica- tion. It would be a great advantage to the students attending the anatomical lectures at the college. This was all the more necessary as vivisection was now almost pro- hibited. No violence would be done to the feel- ings of any relative or friend interested as to the disposition of the body of any pauper who might chance to die in the workhouse, as any intimation would be sufficient to prevent any such body being handed over to the college authorities. Every care would be taken by the college authorities to see that the bodies entrusted to them received a decent Christian burial. The application was granted.

Snow Falling. Winterly weather is reported from the N ,rth. Snow fell for a considerable time this morning in the South of Scotland, Durham, and West- moreland.

In the second round Maher sfcrwek La blanche a right-hander on the jaw. and repeated it with his left hand. La- blanche fell flat on his back, and remained unconscious for ton minutes.

SAW IT ALL Sensational Rumour from Glasgow. A WITNESS OF THE TRAGEDY. The Press Association has received the fol- lowing extraordinary intelligence from a corre- spondent at Glasgow:-A sensational rumour has been circulated regarding the Ardlamont mystery—namely, that a 'poacher, while col- lecting- some grouse, hidden amongst the brushwood, saw the whole of the tragedy in which Lieutenant Hambrough was the unfortu- nate victim, but feared for some time to mention the fact because of the possible consequences to himself. The correspondent adds that the rumour may be absolutely groundlesss, but it exists, and he sends it for what it is worth.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY. Coroner Investigating the Crime. A PATHETIC LETTER. The double murder and suicide which occurred in Recent-square, London, during Wednesday night last formed the subject of a coroner's inquiry at St. Pancras this afternoon, Dr. Danforlll Thomas, coroner for Central London, holding the investigation at the mortuary, St. Pancras. The deceased persons are Bessie Montague, a chorus singer at the Empire Theatre; Samuel Barnett Garcia, a stockbroker, and Leo. Percy, of Swinton-st., Gray's Inn-road. Percy was the rejected lover of Miss Montague, and the tragedy was committed in the immediate vicinity of Miss Montague's home on her return from the Empire Theatre performance on Wed- nesday night. Mr. R. G. Davies, solicitor, now represented the relatives of Gorcia, and Mr. Ashurst Morris appeared for the theatre com- pany. John Montague, brother of the deceased girl, being first examined, said his sister was some three years ago engaged to Percy, who was an electrician, but the engagement was broken off, and Percy and his sister remained on speaking terms. There was no reason to believe that his sister's relationship with both men was other than of an honourable character. Samuel Garcia, uncle to the deceased Samuel Barnett Garcia, and Stephen Percy, father of the deceased Percy, were next examined. The latter said that five years ago his son informed him that he loved the young lady, and intended to marry her, but more recently deceased in- formed him that he had abandoned that inten- tion. Cecil Victor Percy, a brother, said deceased had been strange for the last three or four weeks. He was nervous, and had a strange look. The deceased had casually met Mr. Garcia and Miss Montague together at once. Witness found him suffering from laudunum, and called in the doctor. His brother afterwards said he was sorry. The effects of the laudanum had been removed. He would sit for hours and stare in a vacant way. Mrs. Augusta Herbert, a widow, also engaged at the Empire, and a fellow lodger with Miss Montague at 18, Regent-square, described the circumstances of the tragedy. Though Miss Montaaue's engagement with Percy had been broken off he had remained very much attached to her. Witness and Miss Mon- tague always returned from the Empire together, and on the night of fhe tragedy they met Mr. Garcia. On reaching Southampton-row witness first entered their residence, Mr. Garcia and Miss Montague walking back a few yards in the direction of St. Peter's Church. It was then that witness heard the pistol shots. John West, housekeeper at Miss Montague's lodgings, was next examined, and Mr. Percy was re-called as to a letter which he handed to West, and which West in turn gave to an inspector. The letter was dated the 11th of September, the day before Leo Percy took laudanum, and the coroner observed that the laudanum having failed to take effect the unhappy man appeared to have carried it about with him. The writer said Dear Father,-I have no doubt that by the time you receive this you will know all and what I expect to occur. I can bear it no longer. The pain and humiliation is too great. So it is best ended. I determined long ago that none but I should have her. I would have done it long ago but for your sake. I cannot see what I have to live for, so hope you will forgive me. Last love to you 11.11.-1 remain, your affectionate son, LEO. Mrs. M. Winterbotham, living in Regent- square, deposed that from a window she saw the deceased Percy advance upon Mr. Garcia and Miss Montague. Four sho'\s in all were fired. I The medical evidence disclosed that Miss Montague was shot through tiw heart. Percy was alive when admitted to the Royal Free Hospital, but died within a few minutes. The verdict of the jury was that Bessie Mon- tague and Samuel Barnett Garcia were wilfully murdered by Leo Percy, and that Percy com- mitted suicide while in a state of temporary insanity.

WILFRED MURRAY. Mrs. Hurlbert Says She Knew Him and Can Give Important Evidence. The "Law Journal" reports that it has re- ceived a letter from Mrs. Hurlbert relative to the case between her husband and Gladys Evelyn. Mrs. Hurlbert states that she her- self knew Wilfred Murray, and that she is in a position to prove that upon several of the occasions upon which Wilfred Murrav is alleged to have been with the plaintiff Mr. Hurlbert was at the time in a totally different locality. It is but fair to say (adds the "Law Journal") that 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 than ever important that the matter should be cleared up in a court of law.

A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD THIEF Steals a Purse and a Book in a Grangetown Bazaar. At Cardiff Borough Police-court this morning (before Alderman Sanders and Messrs. Spencer and Gooch) a little girl named Martha Davies, aged twelve years, was charged with stealing a book from the National School, Clive-street. the book being under the charge of Matilda Grace Jones, on the 22nd mst. Prisoner was further charged with stealing a purse containing £1 in gold and silver from the above prosecutrix at the school on the 21st inst.—Prosecutrix stated that a bazaar was being held on Thursday last at the above-named school, and witness bad charge of one of the stalls. She noticed the prisoner push against her, and some time afterwards missed her purse. The following day witness saw prisoner take a book from the stall of which witness was in charge. Prisoner was taken into custody by Police-sergeant Ferris, and in answer to both charges she pleaded guilty. She had been cautioned for stealing a brooch in the market some little time ago.—The Bench remanded her to the workhouse until Monday week.

ONE SURVIVOR. Wreck of a Haytian Gunboat. 89 LIVES LOST. A Central News telegram frem New York this morning says :-News has only just been received here from Port an Prince of the total loss at sea of the Haytian gunboat Alexandre Petion and the loss of 89 lives. The disaster occurred on the 6th inst off Cape Tiburon, a remote spot on the Haytian coast, and it was so terribly com plete that the news 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, but was ultimately rescued in a pitiful state of ex- haustion by a passing sailing vessel. He was unable to explain the cause of the gunboat foundering. All he could say was that the vessel suddenly went down bows first, and that the majority of those on board were never seen again. A few managed to get clear, and they swam about until they became exhausted, and then they sank. Among those who perished in addition to the officers and crew were General Molini, the special envoy from Dominica to Hayti; M. Cohen, formerly Haytian Mini- ster to Mexico; and Mr. Dejean, the Haytian Consul-General in St. Domingo, who was returning to that country charged to arrange the final terms of an agreement between the two Republics. Another Account. A Reuter's telegram from New York says :— The Dutch steamer Prins Willem, which has arrived here, brings news of the mysterious wreck of the Haytian warship Alexandre Petion, which was built in France. The story as told by Mr. Durham, formerly United States Minister in Hayti, who was a passenger by the Prins Willem, is as follow :-The Alexandre Petion left Port au Prince on the 6th in- stant, bound for San Domingo. She had aboard a number of Haytian diplo- matists of high rank, who were on their way to negotiate a special treaty with the Dominican Republic, including General Molini, special envoy to the Government of San Domingo M. Cohen, formerly Minister to Mexico and M. Dejean, for some time consul in France. Suddenly, when off Cape Tiburon, the warship sank like a stone. One sailor on the look-out was thrown beyond the range of suction caused by the foundering of the vessel, and by the aid of a. plank managed to keep afloat till rescued by a passing vessel, which took him in Port au Piince. His mind was evidently weakened by the shock, and he was unable to explain the disaster. The rest of the vessel's company--80 in number-are supposed to have been lost. How the Survivor Escaped. A Dalziel's telegram says According to the testimony of the survivor, there was absolutely no warning, but all at once the vessel began to sink. The officer of the watch passed the word to those in the cabins to get on deck as quickly as possible to save themselves by jumping over- board, but was already too late. There was a scene of terrible confusion in the cabin and fore- castle when the terror stricken passengers were struggling to reach the companion ladder in the dark, blocking up the pas- sages and preventing all chance of escape. In a minute and a, half from the time the vessel began to sink she was completely under water. As she went down a sailor managed to snatch a pair of oars from a lifeboat, and threw himself into the water. He managed to catch a plank as it floated by, and pulling himself up on it looked around. Not a man arose from the •swelling, wafers r*s the man-of-war —4is». appeared. The sailor drifted for 36 hours on the plank without food or drink, when he was picked up exhausted and returned to Port au Prince. The disaster has caused the greatest agitation throughout Hayti and San

MITCHELL-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. I 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. howeyer, 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.

WANTED MORE BEER. Norris Couldn't Get It, so He Set About a Comrade. At Cardiff Police-court this morning a young man, named Albert Norris, was charged on re- mand with violently assaulting Dennis Harring- ton, at No. 21, Gray-street, Canton, on the 26th of August last. Mr. Belcher prosecuted, and Mr. D. W. Evans (David and Evans) appeared for the defence.—Mr. Belcher, in opening the case, said that on Saturday night, the day in question, the complainant, who lived at No. 11, Gray-street, Canton, had occa- sion to go to the house of a man named Thompson. While in the house defen- dant asked Harrington to buy some beer, which he did. On the beer being consumed defendant requested him to buy some more, which complainant refused to do. Thereupon defendant struck, kicked, and knocked down the complainant, and on the latter getting up and running out into the yard the defendant followed him and knocked him down, rendering the man unconscious. He had been attended by two medical men, but had received treatment which had prevented him going to work since that time.-Complainant, being cross-examined by Mr. Evans, admitted that he was not sober on the evening in question.—The Bench were of opinion that a serious and brutal assault bad been committed, and sentenced defendant to im- prisonment with hard labour for two months.

The Social Evil at Cardiff. j hi morning at Cardiff Police-court (before Alderman Sanders and Messrs. Spencer and Gooch) Mary Ann Cahill, 27, was charged on a warrant with keeping a disorderly house at 32, Ordell-street.—On the evidence of Police-con- I stable 72, the Bench imposed a fine of X20 and ) costs, or an imprisonment for three months with hard labour in default.

CYCLING^ A New West of England Record for the Twelve Hours' Road Ride. 0. Leach, of the Taunton Bicycle Club, on Friday, riding' in the animal twelve hours' club road ride, succeeded in establishing a new West of England twelve hours' road iccord, covering 169A miles. He thus breaks the previous re- cord of T. E. Macfarlane, of Weston-super- Mare. of 165 miles, established only on Monday week, by four and a half miles. Leach had to encounter a nasty cross wind nearly the whole I of the distance, and was only paced for about 70 ¡ miles.

TURF TALK. Gossip About Racers and Racing Men. TIPS FOR TO-DAY. The St. Leger of 1895 will be worth £ 4,785. 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 awjye. 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, doe* not think his horse Goiden Drop can be got ready in time for the Cesarewitch. It is said Alec Taylor has backed Aborigine to win JB10,000 for this event. After being almost unmanageable at the post, St. Hilaire was covered in perspiration. Sempronius might have beaten him at the finish had Mr. Baird's colt stuck to it. The result of the September Handicap would seem to dispose of the Cesarewitch pretensions of Roy Neil and Ancajano. Golden Drop, who is engaged in the Cesarewitch, was taking walking exercise at Middleham on Friday, and is said to be suf- fering from cracked heels. Sydenham cantered in for the opening event at Manchester on Friday, though he tried hard to cut it and would have swerved almost into the enclosures had not Colling been ready with the whip on his head. Braemar puts up 101b. extra in the Curfew Handicap at Windsor next Saturday for win- ning the September Handicap at .Manchester on Friday. The colt's weight is now 8st. 101b. and in the Hurst Park Club Cup a penalty of 9ib. makes his impost 8st. 51b.

FISH, FRUIT, AND FURS. Cardiff Tradesmen Chat About Supply, and Demand. The fish looks nice and fresh," we observe, as we pass Mr. Fennel's shop in Queen-street. Ah. yes," replies Mr. Fennel, bought, though, at considerable loss during the cholera scare. We are afraid to deal with Grimsby for the time, you know, and freight from Aberdeen and North Shields is a good bit more." The poultry looks nice." All from good farms. Monmouthshire and Herefordshire farms, always better fed than Welsh. Fowls, 5s. to 6s. the couple; ducks, 6s. to 6s. 6d.; geese, 18. per lb., always in good demand. Game Selling Well. "Apples," says Mr. Phelps, don'trepay the trouble of weighing out. Onlv worth 3s. to 6s. a basket, containing 72Ibs. Pears," he con- tinues, "glut the market, though the demand for good ones is always increasing and as to grapes, could you ever buy such grapes as those before in this country at Is. per lb? Game is very plentiful, and, consequently, cheap, partridges (young birds) selling at 2s. each, and grouse only 6s. the brace. As to hare and leverets, 2s. 6d. to 4s. is their ttverage cost. Prices in game will speedily advance with the cold weather, though." Fashion's Foibles.

ESCAPED WITH A SHAKING. Frost Causes Trains to Collide on a Highland Railway. A Press Association Inverness correspondent telegraphs this morning -A passenger train on the Highland Railway was ran into at Ballinling Station by a goods train from Perth. The engines and several wagons were thrown off the rails, but the passengers fortunately escaped with a shaking. The fireman of one engine was, however, badly bruised, and the engines them- selves are rendered almost useless. It is believed that the accident was caused by severe frost, which prevented the points being worked.

Slept in Smoke. A small fire broke out in the pantry of the Scotia, Messrs. Edwards and Robertson's new boat, during the night, and early this morning- a man, who was sleeping there, was taken out in I a dazed condition and taken to the Hamadryad Hospital Ship. There was no fire, merely a slight smouldering, and the smoke overcame the sleeper. He soon recovered, and is now all Jright.

The oldest is Mr. Howe, who is 83, and is called in histrionic circles the G.O.M. of the stage. Coxeter, a cloth manufacturer, who has just died at Newbury, once won a £ 1,000 wager by producing a coat between sunrise and sunset, the wool for which was growing on the sheep's back the same morning.

AN OPEN SWITCH i 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. Ten ■ persons are believed to have been killed. Carriages Telescoped. A Dalziel's telegram from Chicago says:— f" Further details of the accident on the Wabash 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 had been left open by a careless employe, and the express, which was travelling at the rate of 50 miles an hour, dashed into the goods tram. Both engines and luggage cars, two-day coaches, and one Pullman sleeping carriage were tele- scoped. Most of the passenaers were in the uay coaches. The Wabash Company have just issued a bulletin announcing the accident, and stating that twelve lives have been lost, and that fifteen persons have been injured. This, however,is believed to be much below the actual figure. Some of the Injured. Among the injured are William Adams. s member of the Orphan Bellringers, whose legt were broken, and who is likely to die owing to the severe injuries. Another passenger, William Haskings, had one of his legs fractured and his left shoulder broken, and slight hopes of his recovery are entertained. Edward Rush had his head badly cut, and Albert Morton's arms were somewhat seriously hurt. The above mentioned are all from London. A Signalman's Error. The wrecked 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 instruc- tions the goods train was shunted to a siding, i where it remained till the first section of m express had passed, when the brakeman of the r latter train unwisely opened the switch to allow 1 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 close the switch, it dashed into the goods train. Force of the Collision. So great was the force of the collision that fragments of the boiler of the express were I blown fifty yards away, and several persons were killed by falling pieces. The first body taken out from the ruins of the smoking car was that of Henry French, from London. Tbe passen- gers in tne sleeping carriages were all in their berths asleep, and they had no opportunity of saving themselves, yet, strange to Ray, few of them were kiUed, most of the in alities being in the passenger coaches and tin* smoker ahead of them. These vehicles were con L>ieteiy shattered, and most of the vere crushed tow death. An Awtui Death. The engine-driver ot the express met with an awful death. He had no time to jump to save himself, and was thrown from the cab lirough the front window over his own engine and the engine of the goods train and crushed under the debris. A Barnardo Boy Killed. A number of boys from Dr. Barnardo'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 # manager, has been badly injured.

REVISION COURT. Stallholders in Cardiff Market Qualified to Vote. At Cardiff Revision-court this morning Mr W. Samuel, auctioneer, Working-street, wai objected to by Mr. David upon the ground tba; the premises were occupied by a limited liability company. — Mr. Samuel, examined. saii he was leaseholder of the premises ik.. Working street, occupied by the Atlae; Furnishing Company, and retained am oflice therein for his exclusive use as auctioneer. There was no agreement in writing, but be I reserved this office on the ground floor by virtue of a verbal agreement. —Vote allowed.—Mr. Hall: Another prospective candidate. (Laugh- ter.) A Question of Distance. Mr. William Riley, timber merchant, of New- castle House, Bridgend, was objected to by the Liberals upon the ground that his residence was outside the stipulated radius of seven miles from the borough. The point has I been before the court several years in succession, and Mr. Riley's name has each year been allowed to remain upon the list. Last year the question of the distance between Bridgend and Cowbridge was reserved.—Mr. Riley's manager, who now attended, said Mr. Riley had had the distance measured, and found it within the radius. —Mr. Hill suggested that Mr. Riley be asked to attend the court—The Revising Barrister: I shall give him costs if he is right.—Mr. Hall: I- don't doubt Mr. Riley's word, but no one will any it is within the distance.—The Revising Bar- rister (to Mr. Hall) I allow the vote now, but if you show Mr. Riley's place of abode is out- side the seven miles, and that tb.e claim is a frivolous one, I will allow you costs. i. Stall Holders' Votes. I Some half-dozen butchers, who occupy shopa in the Cardiff market, ior which they pay 6s. or 7g. a week, were placed upon the register in the Liberal interest in cases in which the applicants reside within the borough. The shops were opened only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but the occupiers take them by the week. Whether the votes of stall-holders should also be allowed was the only point discussed. It was stated that underneath the stalls there are cupboards, the keys of which are in the possession of the holders, and the Revising Barrister, following a recent decision, allowed these votes also.
