PINNED HIM TO THE BARN DOOR.
PINNED HIM TO THE BARN DOOR. Ugly Experience of a Farmer Ends I Satisfactorily. A remarkable adventure with a blooded bull is reported from Richmond, Indiana. Wni. Martin, one of the oldest and richest farmers in the State, was going along a lane on his farm, accompanied by his ten-year-old son, leading by a ring and rope a large blooded bull, which had always been regarded as per- fectly docile. Near the end of the lane is a flay barn, and as the little procession was passing it the bull, with a hoarse bellow, pushed at the old farmer, and catching him on his horns pinioned him against the barn. The boy was terribly frightened, but the farmer did not lose his presence of mind. The angry animal, when it turned and caught the farmer, bad, instead of goring him, pressed one of its horns on either side of his legs just below the hips, and, with flashing eyes, waving tail, ind curved spine, stood pressing his sharp horns deeper and deeper into the boards at the old man's back. The farmer, although he did not expect to escape with his life, remained as oool as if simply milking a cow. He told his son to run home and get the gun. The house was a quarter of a mile away, and the boy ran some distance, when the larmer happened to remember that there was a stout long fined pitchfork in the barn against which the bull was squeezing him tighter and tighter. He called the boy back and told him to get the pitchfork. When the boy returned with the fork,the farmer directed him to the left side of the bull, pointed out to him about where the animal's heart lay beneath the thick hide, a.nd told him to place the tines softly against the bull's side at that spot. These orders were all given with the greatest coolness and deli- beration by the farmer, who wa,s by this time covered with the foam that flew from the mouth of the enraged bull. When the boy had placed the fork against the bull's side, the farmer said, "Now, push quick, with all your might and main, if you love me, Tom." The boy thrust with all his might against the handle of the fork, running the tines their entire length into the bull's side. The animal dropped to his knees as if he had been shot, w Jtnd with one tremendous bellow rolled over On his side dead. The tines had passed clean Hirougli his heart. The old farmer, as the bull's horns withdrew from the planks, fell forward insensible, and it was then discovered that the bull had torn his right leg—ploughed t. furrow half an inch deep. So that all the time the farmer appeared so cool and self- possessed he had been suffering the most excruciating P^in- For a man over 80 years of age this exhibition of pluck and coolness 'a considered remarkable.

FOR ASSISTANT INSPECTORS. Cardiff Health Committee Considers Merits of Applicants. A special meeting of the Cardiff Health Com- mittee was held at the Town-hall this morning tinder the presidency of Mr. Councillor Brain.- Mr. Clarke, of Newport-road, wrote complain- ing of the stench arising from the drains at Nos. 190 and 192. Newport-road. The writer pointed But that within a; limited area of those houses typhoid fever, diphtheria, and other fevers had been prevalent for a. long time, and whether guolt cases had been reported to the medical officer of health or not he (the writer) was in a Eosition to give particulars of several cases that had occurred in the vicinity. Dr. Waif ord stated that no cases of illness that could be attributed to the drainage had been reported from this neighbourhood, and that the property had been inspected, showing' tha.t there were no defects in the drains.—It was resolved to inti- mate to Mr. Clarke that the committee were Satisfied that there were no defective drains in the neighbourhood complained of, and to afford him an opportunity of giving-particulars of the fever cases which, as he had stated, had come under his knowledge.—Fifty applications were received for the post of third-class inspector of nuisances, and out of these three applicants were selected to appear before the committee.— There was no other business.

The King of Games.
The King of Games. » CHIPS FROM BLOCKS FAR AND NEAR. Gossip from Every Point of the Compass. Now, all you lads, good sport who love, Come listen unto me. I'll tell you just the likely scores This afternoon will see. My tips are framed, and safely you Upon them may rely. You'll bless the man who spun 'em out, In the sweet by and bye. First, Cardiff versus District claims Of course the premier place. You'll not expect the District to Outrun 'em in the race. A clinking game will Cardiff have, And win it through their backs The District cannot hold its own Against their fierce attacks. Though Gaffer Francis try the trick That brought proud Swinton low ('Twas he indeed that saved the match As all you sportsmejt know), This time his prowess bold will not 'Gainst Cardiff's team prevail. A goal, two tries, unto a goal Is my prophetic tale. Next, Taff with bruises handicapped, And aching bones withal, Against the gallant butcher boys Essay to try a fall. Penarth, a packet of surprise, Might very easy prove, But still I cannot give the score Save in the following groove. To Swansea one dropped goal we place, And likewise, too, a try. Penarth one lonely try will score- Dear laddies, don't you cry. 'Tis yours to stick and keep right on And hold tj^gosvl in view, That Swansea -some day you may meet And give her beanlets, too. NovTnext upon my list behold Llanelly take its stand Against Treorky from the hills The victory to command. Tinplaters rise, adjust your socks, For sake of auld lang syne- A goal, two tries against a try, 'Tis thus to-day you'll shine. Victorious will the Tinmen be, And Neath victorious, too: The latter in their turn take on The Pontardawe crew. Now Neath are making gallant strides, And should the victors be: Two goals unto a try will form Their likely score, you'll see. Then Morriston will take the palm And Aberavon smash, With Conway Rees to give 'em tastes Of his old pluck and dash. A goal, three tries to nil, should shake Their nerves, and Pontypridd By goal and try to try will make A Mountain (H)ash indeed! THE OFFICE POET. Llanelly has got a crisis of a peculiarly viru- lent character. The players have got out of hand a bit, and the committee have the triple job before them of purging the combination of a "Well Collared." I rebellious spirit, making an honourable peace with the junior clubs, and getting out of debt. Sufficient for the season is the evil thereof. Players are hard to manage, because in Llanelly the number is limited, and a man with a swell-head can easily work a corner. Daniels who is a vice-captain ef a peculiar kind, assists the committee by leading the mutiny-conduct for which he should be reduced to the ranks, and, if necessary, ejected. Better no football at all than football "bossed" by a Daniels. But that is one sore which can be healed by firm treatment. There is another that wants touching up. Good fellowship is not cultivated in the team, and the captain sets a bad example. Fancy one little coterie taking their rub down at a swell hotel, and leave the training- room to the others. This won't do all. I play for sport, and I don't get it with the first," was the reply of a youngster, whose team is like a band of brothers-and as mischievous as mon- keys. Percy Lloyd strikes me as player who has just missed being a real good 'un. Llanelly people have spoiled him. He learnt: all he knows a bit too soon. The result is that he takes liberties with the play which would not be tolerated in some towns where the keom- mittee have a real hold on the players. He can't take the ball on the drop, which is exactly what Every never fails to do. Yet, in the Morriston match, Percy twice at least bobbed in between Every and the ball and missed it every time. A sharp captain would have stopped this caper, but Lloyd is the captain—and no one chides him for this and for hugging the ball until it is too late for anyone else to do anything with it. When he does get away the pace is terrific, but half his success is due to a happy forgetfulness that there are fourteen other players wanting a ohance. players wanting a chance. I want to see Percy Lloyd taking up the reins in earnest, promoting sociability in the team, checking faults, and ceasing to be a bad A Tight Scrimmage. example. Above all things, it is necessary for him to fill his ears with wadding, so as not to do the wrong thing merely because the crowd shout when he gets on the run.. Charlie Arthur ought to have some i lea, of how this afternoon's game will go. This morn- ing I tried to get his views. He was a bit guarded in his statement, hut was willing to admit that there were one or two good men playing in the district team, and that the matcl < as givmig an idea of local junior talent, ought to he valuable. Quite my opinion. C.^diff, he say's, ought to cross the district lin« ahoui; half a. dozen times. Ti|AT HUkT. of il course, but, believe me, I don't think they will- s There will probably be some do-or-die features s in to-day's game. 1: — f There are one or two men in the team against t Cardiff to-day that will require a lot of looking t after. Harris is opposite Biggs, and the latter is a big handful for any one to attend to. The i St. David's man, however, is no slouch on the wing. Ho can start lively whenever he gets hold of the leather, and his times in recent a sprints suggest that he wants some catching j when he fairly gets away. Mills, on the other wing, is a bit lively, too. t He is an old "saint," although he assists a Cathays now. Once, when he played against t the Cardiff second team, an official of the blue a and blacks expressed no small surprise at the lively manner in which Charley threaded his way through his opponents. I e The secretary of the Cardiff Club is of the opinion that Cardiff have a better team this year 1 than ever they have had since the days of the e = I He Stopped Another Man's Foot. redoubtable Hancock. The forwards, he imagines, are all right, not over heavy, but 1 clever and fast-aai eight that want a lot of ] beating. The halves and three-quarters are sound, but not enough has been seen of Smith- ] son to say how he will turn out in the posi- ( tion of custodian. 1 1 Although Williams, who played in the recent trial matches for Cardiff, has not yet found his way into the first string, the committee have a good opinion of him. He will be given a bit of training in the Seconds before being put in the first fifteen. ] Cravos and Elsey are both unable to turn out this afternoon Dobson will therefore be seen in the front division of the blue and blacks. I hear that a new man is likely to be intro- duced into the Swansea First Fifteen against Penarth this afternoon as one result of the acci- dents at the last match. It is certain that if Coke finds the weather too bad for him to play in his not over-strong condition the new man-- Ball—will be trotted out. Ball is not unknown in Monmouthshire as a capable full back, but he has recently come to Swansea to reside, and the Swansea committee, noting his play with the second fifteen last week, spotted some merit, wbieh they intend .to utilise. I hope Ball will turn out a useful addition to the team. What thundering hypocrites we are," bawled an old-fashioned joker, who used to take somewhere in the seventies. What's the trouble," I mildly murmured. Simply this every bally club official in Wales is down on paymentfor broken time—veiled professionalism, thin end of wedge, and all that sort of guff." Well, shouldn't they ?" He gasped, Shouldn't they, indeed Why, there are few Urst-class clubs that haven't paid or don't pay for broken time. They don't call it by that name, but a man with half an eye could find out clubs-and big ones, too-who do it all the time." What's the matter with Cooper? He has turned over Newport, and as soon as he gets his transfer will figure in the Bradford ranks. He has been in the North all the week, but returned; to Abergavenny on Friday. He will only stay there long enough, however, to complete the necessary formalities of the transfer. The Yorkshire committee have not made any bones over the affair. Already they have granted Cooper a conditional transfer, and this looks as though they meant to have him whether the Newport club like it or not. Arthur Gould says that, so far as he knows, Cooper will assist the Usksiders this year, but Preparing for a. Kick at Goal. I when a friend asked Gould if Cooper had definitely promised his services this year the international captain replied, Oh, we don't ask fellows to make promises like that!" The captain of the Abergavenny Football Club stated the other day thltt Cooper would assist his team in their match against Dowlais on Bailey Park to-day. In the absence of Cooper from the Newport quartette the third line will be Dauncey and Young on the wing, with Charley Thomas and Arthur Gould in the centre. Edmunds, of Usk, is a promising three-quarter. He will be tried in the Newport second string for a time. He will probably be giverl a trial in the first later on. The match at Newport to-day may end any- how. Gould thinks Newport ought to win, but as they have never taken on Birkenhead before he could not say a lot about the match. Well, one never knows. The Llanelly committee ought to exercise I more tact in their dealings with the junior teams. These young colts' are skittish, but, under skilful treatment, could be ma.de docile. Just now. unfortunately, the juniors have a long string of injustices suffered. "We beat your A team twice last year," say the Seaside Stars, and when you took away BenDavies, Every, and Badger we decided to throw in our lot with the 'A.' But what, happened Not one of us was selected. Between two stools we came to the ground." This .must, not happen again. Even- handed justice pays best in the long run. As for the juniors themselves, they deserve a dressing for standing off and Jetting tke old club struggle along without them. Where is the old j, spirit of Llanelly, boys ? They are merely biting off their own noses to spite the face. If football drops back at Llanelly it will be because they are not game enough and patriotic enough to sink little differences, and lend a hand to pull the old ship out of the breakers. "Play for the first! why we are better off," said one of these a few days ago. We have L6 in hand; the first is JE150 in debt." This is a spirit to keep under. These lads ought to think of something besides them- selves. It was not as they talk that those talked who, after one stubborn fight after another, worked the tin-plate town to the top of the tree. Oh, no; there was but one club then all others were but nurseries. I have done with preaching for the day. Llanelly will triumph over its difficulties, and emerge from these troubles stronger than ever -if the sons of Llanelly are but true to her. It is for the committee to work out the change,and every time they check a Daniels, chide a Lloyd when he deserves it, and win o ver a good colt from the rcrowd of juniors I'll shout More power to their elbows." The Northerners have fairly cottoned to the four three-quarter game. On Saturday last I noticed some dozens of clubs, including Swinton, Salford, Oldham, Broughton Rangers, Leeds, Tydesley, Warrington, Wigan, Huddersfield, and Halifax, adopting the quartette system of three-quarters. We shall have to invent something new for the poachers to copy. The Leeds team, by the way, more out of compliment to the visit of F. R. Alderson and the Hartlepool Rovers than anything else played four three-quarters. Whether the Rovers had gone wrong or Leeds had taken a particular fancy to the change cannot be ax- plained, but the visitors got a fearful licking to the tune of six goals to none. Cardiff must look out on November 22. Quite a miniature international will take place at Holloway, London, to-day where the London Caledonians meet their friends who represent" gallant little Wales in the Metro- polis. Rumsey Williams will have a strong lot of Taffies in the field, and hopes that they will make a good show for the honour of the Father land. Referees have been known to give correct de- cisions. In civilised times the referee formed a succulent after-meal for the two teams. Nowa- days the practice seems to have become almost obsolete, and the poor official receives the un- kinder treatment of splenetic and venomous tirades of abuse. A proper referee should be short-sighted and have the gout. These quali- fications effectually obviate mistakes, for he cannot be far out if he penalise the appealing side. The linesman has nothing much to do but wave a flag and argue with the crowd, but it is generally admitted he does it well. WELSH ATHLETE.

DUTCH MYSTERY DEEPENS.
DUTCH MYSTERY DEEPENS. Confirmation Wanted of De Jong's Story. A Reuter's Amsterdam telegram states that a domestic servant has presented herself at the office of the detective department there, and stated that a year ago De J ong was in the habit of visiting at a house in Utrecht, where her mother lived. One day he induced the latter to smell a phial which he offered to her Her mother immediately lost consciousness, and when she recovered De Jong bad disappeared carrying off with him, it is alleged, a sum of 300 florins.

A Reuter's telegram from Amsterdam on Friday says:—The Judge of the Court of Criminal Inquiry has invited the assistance of the Dutch press in order to discover the persons who on the evening of the 30th and 31st ult. travelled between the Hook of Holland and Liverpool-street Station, via Harwich, in the company of De Jong.

FUNDS STILL LOCKED UP.
FUNDS STILL LOCKED UP. Mr. W. O'Brien Laments the Ill-advised Agitation. The Press Association says :—Mr. William O'Brien, in the course of a. reply to an address from Mr. Smith Barry's evicted tenants, says Were it not for the disheartenment caused by the ill-advised agitation on the subject of the Paris funds, which is calculated to have the double effect of making the liberation of those funds impossible and of stopping any other source of supply, the country would respond as g'enerously as ever this winter for the support of the evicted tenants. There are signs that the unhappy public controversies as to the inter- national affairs of the Irish party may not be carried further, but left to the free and final decision of the party itself."

SERVANT GIRL MURDERED.
SERVANT GIRL MURDERED. Her Sweetheart is Charged with the Crime at Bath. At Weston. near Bath, on Friday Arthur Stevenson Coombs, twenty-apprentice at Messrs Fuller's coach building factory, Bath, and living at 25, Kingsmead-terrace, was etarged with the murder of Elsie Adeline Luke; alias Wilkie. at Hampton Down, during August, 1891. The accused, who is a thin, pale young fellow, looking older than the ag'e stated, was in an agitated condition. He was defended by Mr. E. B. Titley. of Bath, who asked permission to reserve cross-examination. Superintendent Rutherford said that when he apprehended Coombs at his work on Thursday evening accused said, I did not do it I kept company with her. After that I am of no use to you." Mr. D.S. Smith said he had known Coombs from childhood. On Thursday evening he said to kim, Arthur, I have sad news for you," and pri- soner replied, Not for me, Mr. Smith." Wit. ness then told him Superintendent Rutherford bad a warrant for his arrest, and accused asked how they could be sure the remains were those of Luke. Witness told him of the identification by Mrs. Kerry, who employed Luke as cook, from March to July. 1891. Mrs. Kerry identified the linen produced as her property, and stated she had missed similar things after Luke left. Witness had burned seyeral. things; including detters-found in the box left behind by the deceased, John Edwards,'a fishmonger's assistant, said he had seen the prisoner and Luke together. Some time ago he had a conversation with Coombs, who said she ought to be dead or killed. Witness was not certain to whom accused re- f erred, but he supposed the girl Luke was meant. Edwards was here requested to confine himself to plain, straightforward answers. Witness, in answer to further questions, said i he might have opened conversation with Coombs by saying," I don't see you now at the railway mission with so and so," meaning- Wilkie, but he could not pledge himself to that. Kate Bullock, a fellow servant of the deceased, said Luke was frequently visited by a young man whom she used to take down to the cellar. He was fair, and she believed rather curly. Mrs. Dillon, with whom deceased stayed from the Saturday before Bank Holiday till the fol- lowing Monday, identified as Wilkie's property the lutt picked up on the Downs. She said the deceased was a highly respectable girl. t The hearing was adjourned till Tuesday. The police have found that Wilkie's step father is at the Emigrants' Home, Black wall London.
THE DRUM POLITICAL.
THE DRUM POLITICAL. Radicals in Despair at Headquarters. Considerable approhensions are felt at tht Radical headquarters as to the result of Mr Gladstone's speech, says the London correspon- dent of the Manchester Courier, At the National Liberal Club the younger members generally censured it as tame and likely to dia- courage the party. The general apathy of the constituencies is causing' considerable alarm among- the faithful. A wag made the suggestion that Henry Fowler should be sent round to rouse them up," but I regret to say the pro- pospl was received with profused merriment.
