Disaster at Detroit. t COLLAPSE OF THE CRYSTAL SPRING MINE. Forty Men Entombed, of Whom Thirty- Seven are Dead. Subsidences Prevent Work of Rescue. A cablegram from Detroit (Michigan) On Friday says that a mining disaster has .occurred at the Mansfield mine, near Crystal Falls. There has been a collapse at the mine, »nd there is little hope that forty men who are entombed in the workings will be saved. The water in the mine is rising fast, and the ore being soft the work of the rescue party is ex- ceedingly difficult. The rescue party are doing all in their power, but the subsidence is so great that very little progress can be made with the removal of the fallen earth. A Reuter's telegram received at midnight on Friday says :—Thirty-seven men are known to have perished, nearly all of whom were Italians and Swedes. Of all those who were at work in the mine at the time, only three escaped.

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 charged with the murder of Elsie Adeline Luke, alias Wilkie. at Hampton Down, during August, t891. The accused, who is a thin, pale young fellow, looking older than the age stated, was in an tgitated 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 him, ,"Arthur, I have sad news for you," and pri- soner replied, Not for me, Mr. Smith." Wit- ness then told him Superintendent Rutherford had 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 several thing's, including letters found in the box left behind by the deceased. John Edwards,ja 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- ferred, 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 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 lie 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 hat picked up on the Downs. She said the deceased was a highly respectable girl. The bearing was adjourned till Tuesday. The police have found that Wilkie's step- father is at the Emigrants' Home, Blackwall, London.

AMERICAN TRAIN ROBBERY. Sensational Experience of a Bristolian. Mr. Councillor Henry Wooding, of North- ampton, has written home an account of an extraordinary experience which has befallen himself and other English visitors to Chicago. They left that city by express train at 11.45 on Monday night, and all went well until 12.50, when the passengers were awakened by the firing of pistols and what they thought to be small cannon. One of the guards. entering the car, said to Mr. Ashman, of Bristol, Have you a revolver, sir?" Mr. Ashman replied that he had not, and asked what was the matter. The guard explained that the train was being attacked by a, band of 20 robbers, and advised them to get dressed, but to be quite still. They did so, and remained in the greatest suspense for some time, when the train began to move slowly on and stopped at the next station. They then' learned that as the train had ap- proached Kessler, Indiana, the engine-driver discovered that a switch had been placed open. He immediately applied the brakes to save the train from being wrecked. Scarcely had the train come to a standstill when a band of twenty masked men suddenly appeared and made a rush for the express car. The engine-driver seized a coal pick and offered a desperate resistance, but ho was felled to the ground and then shot, boiii;; seriously wounded. In the meantime the rest of the gang succeeded in blowing open the door of the express car with dynamite. The messen- ger who was in charge of the car, which con- tained the safe of tho United States Express Company, fired several shots, but he was quickly knocked down. disarmed, and rendered insensi- ble. The robbers then blew open the safe, an<! ieized its contents. After having secured this booty, they fired a few parting shots as a warning ;hat pursuit meant death, and disappeared into tome neighbouring woods.

NOT WHAT WAS WANTED. The Board of Trade Prosecute a Car- diff Boarding-housekeeper. At Cardiff Police-court on Friday afternoon !before Dr. Paine and Mr. Spencer", Henry Smith, 34, boarding-housekeeper, was charged on remand, and under a warrant, with unlawfully supplying one Daniel Condon, a landsman, to be entered as a seaman on board the British ship Lowlands, at Cardiff, on the 16th of May last. Mr. Ivor Vachell appeared for the Board of Trade and Mr. Payne defended.—A seaman named Wm. Corrigan was called, and deposed that on the 16th of May he was on board the Lowlands, and saw prisoner enter the captain's cabin with Condon.—Mr. Payne called Arthur Stockwell, also a seaman, who said that 011 the 16th of May he lodged at Smith's boarding- house. On that day witness was on the Low- lands. Condon was also on board and signed artiele,i. but he was introduced to the captain by some other man than the prisoner.—Mr. Payne submitted that there was no case against his client.—The Bench, on the other hand. con- sidered the case proved, and imposed a fine of L3 and costs or one month.

CLOTHES REVEAL A FATALITY AT DARWEN. Whilst an attendant was examining the com- j&rtments at Darwin Public Baths late on Friday night, previous to closing, he found a quanty of wearing apparel, and on looking into the water observed the dead body of a young man, named Sharpies, son of a well-lrnowr. tradesman.

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 ,tlng Against their fierce attacks. g, Though Gaffer Francis try the trick That brought proud Swinton low ('Twas he indeed that saved the match, As all you sportsmen 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 the goal in view, That Swansea some day you may meet And give her beanlets, too. Now next 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 I job before them of purging the combination of a Well Collared." rebellious spirit, making an honourable peace I with the junior clubs, and getting out of deb! Sufficient for the season is the evil thereof. Players are bard 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 of a peculiar kind, assists the committee by leading the mutiny—conduct for which he should be reduced to the ranks, a.nd, if necessary, ejected. Better no football at all than football "bossed" by a Daniels. ] But that is one sore which can be healed by firlU 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 leaving' the training- room to the others! This won't do at all. 'I play for sport, a.nd 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. Peroy Lloyd strikes me as player who has just missed being a. real good 'un. Llanelly people have spoiled him. He learpi all be knows a. bit too soon. The result is that he takes liberties with the play which would not be tolerated in homo towns where the com- mittee have a real hold on the players. He "an't take the ball on the drop, which is exactly what Everv DRvor 1'aiic +- J- 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 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 I 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, but was willing to admit that there were one or two good men playing in the district team, and that the match as giving an idea of local junior talent, ought to be valuable. Quite my opinion. Cardiff, he says, ought to cross the district line about half a dozen times. They may, of course, but, believe me, I don't think they will. There will probably be some do-or-die features in to-day's game. There are one or two men in the team against Cardiff to-day that will require a lot of looking after. Harris is opposite Biggs, and the latter is a big handful for any one to attend to. The 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 sprints suggest that he wants some catching when he fairly gets away. Mills, on the other wing, is a bit lively, too. He is an old "saint," although he assists Cathays now. Once, when he played against the Cardiff second team, an official of the blue and blacks expressed no small surprise at the lively manner in which Charley threaded his way through his opponents. The secretary of the Cardiff Club is of the ] opinion that Cardiff have a better team this year than ever they have had since the days of the redoubtable Hancock. The forwards, he imagines, are all right, not over heavy, but clever and fast—an 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. 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 g'ood 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 oif 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, which they intend to utilise. I hope Ball will turn out a. useful addition to the team. What thundering hypociites we are," bawled an old-fashioned joker, who used to take ~———— I He Stopped Another Man's Foot. I somewhere in the seventies. ''What's the trouble," I mildly murmured. Simply this every bally club official in Wales is down on payment for broken time-veiled professionalism, thin end of wedge, and fill that sort ofj guff." Well, shouldn't they ?" He gasped, Shouldn't they, indeed Why, there are few first-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 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 that 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 l in the Newport second string for a time. He will probably be given 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 more tact in their dealings with the junior teams. These young colts are skittish, but, under skilful treatment, could be made docile. I Preparing for a Kick at Goal. 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 Ben Davies, 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 letting the old club struggle along without them. Where is the old 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 Y,6 in hand; the first is iC150 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 over a good colt from the crowd 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 I particular fancy to the change cannot be ex- plained, but the visitors got a fearful licking to' the tune of six goals to none. Cardiff mus: 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 J 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.

To-day's Matches. CARDIFF V. DISTRICT UNION. Played on the Park before 5,000 spectators. Both teams were slightly altered in their composition, Dobson going into the Cardiff pack instead'of Cravos. Wheeler and Harris were absent from the District team, their places being filled by Carthy, of Grange, and E. P. Biggs, of Cardiff. The teams lined up as follow:—Cardiff: Back, Smithson; three-quarter backs, T. W. Pearson, J. Elliott, D. Fitzgerald, and N. Biggs; half backs, R. B. Sweet-Escott and S. Biggs forwards, A. Lewis, W. Cope, W. Davies, R. Davies, R. Guinea, Dobson, Smith, and Ramsay. District Union: Back, -W. Francis (Grangetown) three-quarter backs, C. Mills iays), E. P. Biggs (Cardiff), E. Spillane (Star), J. Evans (Grangetown) half backs, P. Ryan a. A Gus Carthy (Grangetown) forwards, T. M'Carthy and W. James (Grangetown), C. R. Harding (Canton), J. Spavin (Grangetown), J. Casey (Star), T. Gunstone (Northern), G. Woodman (Grangetown), and E. Emery (Cathays). Referee, Mr. Douglas. The District won the toss, and Lewis started for Cardiff. Jack Evans returned to touch in the Cardiff 25, and after a line out the black and reds were nearly over, Carthy getting on to the line. Sweet-Escott and N. Biggs relieved slightly, but good kicking kept play on the home line, and, after the District had missed a chance of scoring, the home halves started some passing that went right along the line, and ended in Elliott giving Pearson a pass that put him over, although he was collared on the line. Biggs shot at goal, but hit the post. HALF-TIME SCORE :— Cardiff 3 goals, 1 try, 1 minor District Union Nil. NEWPORT V. BIEKENHEAD WANDERERS. Played at Newport before nearly 3,000 spectators in showery weather. The ground was in good condi- tion considering the recent heavy rains. The teams were as follows :-Birkenhead Wanderers -Back, J. Slade three-quarter backs, — Hughes, J. Watson, C. Kelly, and W. Canning half-backs, A. Herbert and A. Hurst forwards, E. Elliot, C. Mor- gan, B. Murphy, J. May, T. Rowlands, — Franklen, — Atkinson, — Bibby, and S. Ingham. Newport Back, T. England three-quarter backs, A. J. Gould, A. H. Dauncey, C. J. Thomas, and W. G. James; half-backs, F. C. Parfitt and M. Hannen forwards, A. W. Boucher, H. T. Day, W. H. Watts, T. Bowley, W. Groves, H. Packer, T. Pook, and T. Newcombe, Mr. H. M. Ingledew, of Cardiff, was the referee. Soon after the kick off, at 3.40, the visitors went in for a sharp forward bout, and pressed Newport well into their own 25, their loose scrums and fast tackling being clever. The Newport passing partially recovered itself, but still the fast, determined tackling of the visitors was of great service to them, and England had to concede a minor after a long drop over the line by one of the visitors' backs. A similar point fell to Newport soon after from a shot at goal by Arthur Gould. The game so far had been a very fierce one between the forwards, with fast rushes on both sides. HALF-TIME SCORE.

SOUTH AMERICAN OUTBREAK. The Argentine Rebels Slowly Losing Ground. A Dalziel's telegram from New York on Friday says :—A dispatch to the New York Herald from Santiago states that the Govern- ment of the Argentine Republic have overcome the rebels in the province of Santa Fe, and have found means to keep the turbulent element in check. Another dispatch from the Herald's corre- spondent at Buenos Ayres announces that the Army is still loyal to the Government, and it is hoped that order will speedily be restored. Influential residents in Buenos Ayres are urging President Montt, of Chili, to beg President Saenz Pena to spare the life of Colonel Espini, now under sentence of death for having incited to revolt the crews of two torpedo boats at Rosario. The rebels are, for the time being, in possession of the city, but a large force of the National Guards are concentrated in Villa, Maria, and will be forwarded to the neighbour- hood of Rosario by rail to co-operate with the force now on its way there by water. It is ex- pected that railway and telegraphic communi- cation will be re-established before night. A later telegram from Buenos Ayres says that the death sentence on Colonel Espini will be carried out to-day.

Mashonaland News Cause Grave Anxiety. A Reuter's telegram from Cape Town on Friday says :—The latest official reports from Mashonaland state that the Matabeles are raiding around Lo Magundos, situated 60 miles to the west of Fort Salisbury. The natives report that the Matabeles are eol-' lecting on the border in regiments. Dr. Jameson has left Fort Victoria to inspect the forces at Fort Charter. He will return on Monday, i The special correspondent at Fort Salisbury of the Cape Times says that the public there are indignant at the present inactivity, and demand the prompt suppression with a strong hand of the wholesale murders "and other atrocities con- stantly being perpetrated by the Matabeles. 4

Military Experiment in Human j Endurance. A Dalziel's telegram from Paris on Friday says :-It has been decided to establish a mili-1 tary station in the Alps during tke coming winter months. The locality chosen is on Mont Cenis, an altitude of 3,000 metres. A detach- ment of 22 men, under a lieutenant, is already there. The object of the war authorities is to determine the power of endurance of the soldiers in these altitudes.

Welsh People Injured at Chicago. Among those who were seriously injured in the railway accident at Chicago a couple of days ago were a Welshman and his wife and daughter, namely, Mr. William Evans, superintendent at the Powellton Coalwerks in Virginia, whose spine was injured Mrs. Evans, who sustained bad contusions on body and limbs and Miss Sallie Evans, who was internally injured, and whose face and left side were badly bruised.

Last Word to Puzzlers. THINGS WHICH MUST BE BORNE IN MIND, Then a Prize is Certain. Will readers who are taking pait in our puzzle diversion please listen very, very care- fully while we a tale unfold. If there is one thing more than another for which the journa list is famous it is his respect for the Sabbath Now, according to the conditions on anotherfpage this week's competition is open until Monday morning. This, however, may tempt some reader whose strength of will is not a prominent feature of his composition to put his puzzle to- gether on Sunday. We do not wish this. Nay, we should deplore it, and though we can- not alter the conditions we do beg our readers, as man to man, not to send in their puzzles later than this afternoon. If, however, some rash or lazy readers ignore our warning, we have to add that all adlets received not later than the first post on Monday morning will be counted in this week's series. There is, however, one other point which may be emphasised. Competitors must bear in mind that no adlet is inserted for less than 3d. Offers of Id., therefore, and even 2d., appeal to us in vain. Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the conditions if you would get a book and run close in for the Fiver

FOOTBALLERS GO NORTH. Newport Players Don't Object to Cooper Going to Bradford. Several members of the Newport Football Club have been interviewed by our representa- tive in reference to the transfer to Bradford of Cooper, a member of the Newport team. What is most singular is that there does not appear to be any disposition to interfere in the matter. Let him go," said Arthur Gauld, "we do not see why we should interfere with a man getting his living wherever he likes." Graham, last year's captain, spoke similar purport, and this seems to be the general opinion.

A Starling Assertion Promptly Denied. The Central News correspondent at Paris tele- graphs on Friday :-The journal Libre Parole has produced a story which for the moment caused some sensation, it being averred that a plot which had been fomented in Italy had been discovered for the assassination of President Carnot. Unfortunately for the success of the canard, the Minister of the Interior issued a prompt and emphatic denial of the whole story. |

Archaeological Discovery at Tamworth. A find of interest to antiquaries was made on Thursday at Tamworth during some excava- tions in the roadway near the historic castle. At a depth of about 8ft. was discovered the base of what was apparently at one time either a large urn or a font. The substance appears to be half-baked clay, of a fluted design, sparingly ornamented with oak leaves, and probably of Saxon or Roman workmanship. The piece is about 1ft. long, 8in. or lOin. wide, and 2in. in thickness.

HOW PATTI SAVED A LIFE. The Diva's Voice Prevents the Murder of a Bride. A strange illustration of the power of Patti's voice over a man who was tempo- rarily insane is given in the Woman at Is g"' Home." In San 'Francisco, in the year 1889, a. young man of excellent name and position, whose mind had been affected ,.y v a dangerous illness, came to hear the famous songstress. He concealed a small revolver about his person, and was heard to say., half jestingly, I feel that I should like to shoot someone to-night." After taking his seat, he observed that a very beautiful and interesting-looking young lady was in a box close by. She was a bride, and had been married that very morning, and had come to hear the diva in her great part of "Violetta" in "La Traviata." The bride looked so radiant in her pure white gown that the madman could not keep his eyes from her face, and almost unconsciously his hand sought the revolver which he had secreted in the breast pocket of his coat. Just at that terrible moment Patti appeared on the stage. The matchless voice instantly arrested the attention of the would be murderer, and he forgot his horrible pur- pose. After the performance he told the story to his doctor, by whom it was repeated to Madame Patti.

WILL BE A GREAT BOON. Proposed Competitive Line from South Wales to London. In connection with the agitation commenced some time ago with the object of improving tht railway facilities in South Wales, it will be remembered that last week, at a meeting of the general promotion committee, a sub-committee was appointed to consider ways and means and to thoroughly investigate and inquire into the whole subject, with instructions to report to the general committee at an early date. A meeting of this sub-committee was held in the grand jury- room at the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Friday after- noon, when the business transacted was of such a nature that it was considered that in the in- terests of the scheme, and for the present, the press would assist the project by refraining from publishing' any details as to what tran- spired. It was further mentioned that the ques- tion is being organised on a solid basis, and up to the present the action gives prospect of a successful issue.

Facts About the Hambrough Family. Originally the Hambrough family, brongh into prominence through the Ardlamont case came from Northamptonshire. But the Northampton estates are now held by a junior branch, represented by Mr. Holden Hambrough, who resides at Pipewell Hall. a large. stone mansion near Kettering, and is a widower. His late wife was the only sister of Viscount Hood. The main line of the family dwelt lor years at Steephill Oaet-Ie. Ventnor. an oblong-, square- towered building on the road to St. La wrence. This castle was complete<Vin 1835, when Major Hambrough's father had reached fifteen years of age. At present its occupier is Mr. Henry Sewell. The Hambrough shield of arms con- sists of a black tower surrounded by inall blue crosses and drops of blood the crest being a white horse at full speed, also spattered with i iood and minute crosses. Major Hambro igh has instructed a firm of solicitors to take proceedings to recover from the Monsons the personal effects of the late Lieutenant Hambrough. The trial of Monson will take piace in Edinburgh, and will last over a week. It is expected that Mr. Asher will be senior counsel for the Crown. and Mr. C. Scots Dickson for the defouce.
