A MILITANT RECTOR. Remarkable Departure in Church :i,: Worship. At. 6.30 on Sunday evening. when the rain in London was at its worst, the Rev. W. Car- lile, founder of the Church Army, was out in the streets with his obaiid, beating up recruits for the evensong at St. Mary-at-Bill, of which City church he is the rector. A novel sight w is thiA militant clergyman as he stood bareheaded and in full canonicals conducting the instru- mentalists by his own performance on the trombone, which now and again he dropped from his lips to offer a dry and happy evening to the oalook«re at "our place just round the corner*" He c^ipfcitrett.several of the particular class for which the rev. gentleman keeps a sharp look-out, among them a representative V-r the peculiar methods by which the head of the Church Army is carrying out his remarkable mission. When Mr. Carlile returned, some twenty minutes before the time appointed for the service, he found a. dense congregation awaiting him. Presently a body of surplieed musicians, with stringed and reed and brazen instruments, enter and take their seats in the body of the church, close up to the reading desk, and they beguile the time with some excellent sacred music. Then there emerges from the vestry the choir, composed of men. boys, wemen; and girls, all surplieed. Mr. Carlile heads the procession with the Church Army banner, the motto of which is "Come and See." The sertoce opehs with a solo by a young lady in tlie organ gallery, Miss Jessie Manton. After more music from the orchestra, in which the chief place. is given to a. cornet f-)Io, a hvmn is sung to a spirited tune with a chorus. Then' Mr. Carlile mounts the reading desk. He carries with him a dark lantern, which he lights up for himself. The electric light is turned down. in order that the opening sentences of the evening service may be projected by the limelight lantern on to the screen, so that those without Prayer-lwoks may take vocal part in the worship. This idea, it may be said. is followed throughout. Before prooeedinp to the pulpit. Mr. Carlile announced that next Sunday evening there would be lime- light views of Japan. In the morning, at nine o'clock, according to custom, there would be a bright musical service, ,with a two minutes' sermon—just, the things-he said, for those who had arranged for a country walk or had a dinner to cook. Of course, he pleaded for the offer- tory but he did so without any misgiving, as not a farthing of the money contributed went into the pockets of anyone connected with the Church Armv. The sermon was founded on a passage in Isaiah, "Being the poor that are outcast to thv house." Mr. Carlile had some fine samples of the outcast in front of him. Special pews had been assigned io some fifty vagrant men who had that dav been the guests of the Church Army at breakfast, dinner, and tea. and who were then awaiting their sup- per. The sermon itself was earnest, a pas- sionate plea for succour for the homeless and the starving, rendered particularly forcible by illustrations drawn from newspaper reports of suicides begotten of extreme poverty. Fol- lowing the sermon, came limelight views of scenes in Japan, and of the life and death of Jpflus. The service concluded with the some- what remarkable spectacle of the rector stand- ing within the altar rails blowing his trombone more or less in unison with the orchestral accompaniment to a. hymn. But the rector himself had not finished with the pronounce- ment of the Bencdiotion. He had a praise meeting to follow, and in the meantime stationed himself ft +he exit door to bid good Tiiwht to and shake hands with all who were departing. _—————

BALLOON ASCENTS. Interview with an Aeronaut at Cardiff. Among the many attractions to be provided at. the Cardiff Flower Show to-day (Wednes- day) will be the balloon ascents. The ser- vices of Mr. Stanley Spencer, of the well- known firm of Messrs. Charles ureen Spencer and Sons, Holloway, London, have been engaged, and, upon gleaning that this popular aeronaut and parachutist had arrived in Car- dill, and was staying at the Royal Hotel, on Tuesday evening a representative of the "Express" made tracks for tho establish- ment, where the pressman found Mr. Spencer reclining on the lounge in the Japanese Room. Mr. Spencer is a fair-haired, thickly-set man of about 26 years of age, and from his dress and carriage would be taken for a midshipman. "The balloon you have brought with you to Cardiff is one of your best' remarked the pressman. "Yes. It is the splendid balloon called 'Excellent,' and is of 52,000ft. capacity. It was in this balloon, that I made the astounding excursions from Wembley Park, Crystal Palace, and Woodhouse Park grounds d-uring the last few months. She carries eight or ten people to a lie.ght of 1,000ft. At the small charge of 5s. per head I will take visi- tors to that number with me at the Sophia Gardens to-morrow." "You have, of course, made many ascents?" "During the last six or seven years I have made at least 600 ascents. I have travelled through America. Canada, the West India Islands. Africa, and France. As I was leaving the West India. Islands I was presented with an elegantly-worked gold medal, suitably inscribed in recognition of my performances. Then, in many other places, I have received numerous presents." In answer to other queries, Mr. Spencer told of many "hair-breadth escapes and perilous adventures"—landing in the sea, in forests, and on mountains and cliffs. Notwithstand- ing all this, however, he is not much the worse, and his performances at the Sophia Gardens will be a treat witness, k •

COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS. Ventilating Fans Help to Extend the Force. One of the most experienced and capable mining engineers in the Merthyr Valley, in an interview with a representative of the "Wes- tern Mail," said he quite agreed with the writer of the article in ou rissue of the 10th inst. in so far as lie contends that the bountiful supply of fresh air sent into the mine had a busy hand in the great energy and destructive force which characterised the explosion at the Albion Pit. A strong current of air, said our reporter'} informant, would, no doubt, increase the in- tensity of an explosion in a. very dry mine, where the coal dust was proved to be excep- tionally explosive, as in the Albion case; but these pre-disposing. conditions existed only in 'g,4.i" the measure of ventilation provided was not I so large as to be a. source of danger, and not r more excessive than was really required in the interests of the absolute safety of human life. The "Colliery Guardian-' says that what is, without doubt, the most powerful ventilating' plant in the world has just been fitted up at the South Moon Collieries, in the county of Durham. The workings at t.he,e collieries will ultimately extend over an area of several square miles, and as the whole are to be ventilated by the one fan, it was necessary to have it of exceptional power. The fan is the Waddle Improved Patent, and is 45ft. in diameter. It is driven by a high pressure horizontal engine, with cylinders 40in. diameter. Steam at 801b. pressure is supplied by three Lancashire boilers, which are fitted with forced draught. The up- cast shaft, to which the fan is connected, has been sunk specially'for the ventilation, and is a very iine piece of work, being walled throughout from top to bottom, and 16ft. in diameter. The fan was started the other day, ajid in a preliminary test, made under the superinten- dence of Mr..Tames Fairley. the manager of the collieries, a volume of 553,660 cubic feet per minute was obtained, with the fan running at little more than half speed. When the arrange- ments are further advanced and the whole of the boiler power is available, it appears that much geate esults will be obtained. From the above it would appear that the days when a, oollier had reason to complain that when underground he lived in a clone, unwholesome atmosphere, that rendered his occupation un- healthy as well as dangerous, have now passed away. Indeed, judging from the way thing* are now tendincr. it seems probable that the collier of the near future will find canse. for grumbling in the fact that he has to work in a gale of wind. The makers of ventilating machinery are, ap- parently, not going to rest until they have made it necessary for the miner to don a. thick overcoat and muffler before starting work, in- stead of stripping almost naked, as is now often the case.

ASSASSINATION OF CARNOT. The Ministry of the Interior is having printed a volume for the 38,(1)0 mayoralties in France. I It contains all the official papers of France describing M. Carnot's death, the evidence giveu at Caperio's trial, accounts of the funeral, of the wrsath, the high personages who sent them, with copies of their letters, and photoerraphs of the lying in State and different phases of the funeral ceremonies. Of course, there will be portraits of M. Carnct. One will show him as he was at the Lyons banquet, and another as he lay dead on a camp-bed at the Prefecture of Lyons.

AFFAIRS OF A CARDIFF BUILDER. Mr. E. C. Newby, builder and contractor, Cardiff, has convened a meeting of his creditors to consider his financial position. Mr. Newby has carried out extensive building operations in Cathedral-road and other parts of Cardiff, and recently took a contract for the erection of large premises adjoining Dr. Taylor's house in Queen- street. Pressure from creditors rendered it necessary that he should call a meeting at an early date.

AN M.P. SUMMONED. At Harwich on Tuesday Mr. Hudson Kenrley, M.P., was summoned for refusing to pay a church rate in respect of certain premises in the I town belonging to a tea company, of which the I hou. gentleman is part proprietor. The defen- dant maintained that the rate was illegal, but evidence having been given showing that the rate was legally made in vestry assembled, the magistrates made an order against the defen- dant for payment.

DOCK ACCOMMODATION. < Report on the State of the Harbour at Llanelly, The meeting of the Llanelly H arbour Com missioners on Tuesday afternoon was important for more reasons than one. In the first place. Sir Alexander Rendel, consulting engineer to the port, presented a report on his last visit to Llanelly. Speaking generally, Sir Alexander advocated the construction of a training wall on the north side of the estuary, as it is necessary to the proper action of that on the south side. The minimum width of the channel between the two walls should be 1.000ft., and as the present training wall has reached the point at which its diversion should commence, he recom- mended that an application be made to the Board of Trade for leave to vary the line sanc- sue teuJiaa^C of the'1 harbour has been placed, by the construction of the timber breakwater, too much on one side of the harbour, and too close to its eastern shore. All that has happened since has been the natural consequence of the work, and either the break- water must be removed-a most difficult and costly measure—or they must be content to undertake such operations as would minimise the mischief, such as putting a check on the deposit of slag outside the harbour, constant dredging, and reducing the level of the sandbanks outside the harbour by means of the training walls in the estuary.—It was decided to refer the report to the next meeting.—The following letter was also read:— Copper Works, Llaneny. July 31, 1894. To the Chairman and Members of the Llanelly Harbour Commission. Deor Sirs,—Hftviug' regfird to the question of acquiring clock accommodation of their own that has before your board aud the town generally for a considerable time, we write as private dock owners to say that, believing such a scheme if properly developed will be of advantage to the port and all interested in its welfare, we are willing to consider the question of transferring our dock and railways in connection with it and the town to your authority, subject to suitable terms being arranged with all con- cerned and our interestsamply proctected. Wedo this in the belief that from its position our dock naturally forms the best basis for such an extension.—We are, yours truly, NKVILL, DRUCE. and Co. —It was decided to refer this letter to the com mittee now sitting upon the question of increased dock accommodation.

IRISH LAND ACTS. Entire Secession of the Minority on the Select Committee. The Press Association states that the meet- ing of the Select. Committee of the H <une of Commons on the Irish Land Acts held on Tuesday was signalised by the entire secession of the minority, who had been regarded as more esjieciallv representing the view of the landlords. Their withdrawal took place after .a division, in which by a majority of eight to six a second reading was given to the draft report submitted by Mr. John Morley as chairman. Mr. Brodrick at the same time presented a report from the minority, which consisted of Mr. Brodrick, Mr. M'Cartnev, Mr. Carson. Mr. Hayes Fisher, Colonel Waring, apd Mr. William Kenny. Subsequently a disoussion took place among the members re- maining, upon the earlier portion of Mr. MorleyV. report, and the committee adjourned until to-day (Wednesday). Tlie consideration of Clause 3, which deals with the question of right of appeal on questions of value, had been reached. The Chairman's draft report extends to 120 clauses.

THE CHOLERA. No Further Cases Have been Reported in England.

.? A Sheikh's Welsh Wife. SHE DIED WHEN VICTORV CAME. The Story of a Mahomedan's Treublea in England and a Hindu Plot which was Frustrated. | fBY A LAHORE CORRESPONDENT, f' It will, no doubt, be within the recollectios of the general public, and particularly the lords and gentlemen connected with the four Inns of Court, that a petition was framed in India by some of the Hindu community and, sent to the benchers of Gray's Inn, containing certain allegations against the Sheikh Meerau. Buksh, and requesting the benchers not to accept him as a member of the honourable society or to call him to the Bar. The benchers,, in consequence, called upon the Sheikh toi withdraw from the Inn, but he, being a deter- mined and a persevering man, decided to appeal to the House of Lords, which was the only course open to him. After a period of some-! .thin glike two years, the case was tried before 'the Lord Chancellor, the late Lord Chief. Justice Coleridge, and many of the jud of the Supreme Court of Judicature, and afteni the charges had been thoroughly and carefully examined, on the 18th and 19th, of December last, the learned judges unanimously came tuf the conclusion that there was no foundation whatever for the statements made against Sheikh Meeran Buksh, and gave their decision absolutely in his favour, stating at the samE time that the charges were founded on pyrely religious jealousy by some of the Hindu munity of India, the learned Sheikh being it- Mahon»edan. The learned Sheikh was married to a your. Welsh lady, the youngest daughter of. Mr., Joseph Davies, of the Bush, St. Clears, Soutlt Wales, and now of Penrhvsfawr, Pontrhydyfen, near Neath, the wedding and festivities flaking plaice in Liverpool three years ago—that city heing the only place in England that can boast of a Mahome- dan mosque—and also at the registry office on the day followng. The learned Sheikh was ex- tremely devoted to his wife, who helped him in every particular in his fight with the benchers of Gray's Inn—which, as has been stated, lasted for something like two years. However, a. few days before the trial took place in the House of Lords his beloved wife fell ill, and the- Sheikh, bad to leave her to attend to his duties in the Iloya»:,of Lords. About mid-day he sent at telegrnjn to his wife stating that tlie case was piotj&Sing in his favour, and he was returning home that evening in far better spirits than he had been for a considerable time. Cn the following day the learned Sheikh went again. to the House of Lords, his wife bidding him all affectionate farewell, with the word. "Go, and God bless you." Ala.s! those were the last words the poor Sheikh was fated to hear from the lips of his devoted wife. In the afternoon. the Slu ikh tS^rrnoy returned in a cab hoping to gladden his wife's ileart with the news that, he had been successful, the judges having decided in his favour. But his wife was dead. The funeral took place at Bethlehem, St. Clears, in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, notwithstanding the pouring rain which prevailed the whole of that day. So mcch were the Ma-hornedan husband aad his Welsh wife attached to eaoh other that the, young lady had embraced the faitil,of Itlam, and was well versed in the Koran. During his stay in London the learned Sheikh stayed at the house of Mr. John Davies ,of b, Doughty-street, W.C., and he is again ere long expected to make a pilgrimage from India. to Bethlehem, St. Clears, in order to cause the erection of a monument, over the resting-plaaa of his wife. It is worthy of note that all the Welsh gentlemen benchers of Gray's Inn stood by him through his troubles at Gray's Inn, par- ticularly Mr. Bowen Rowlands*. Q.C., M.P.^ Mr. Jeremy. and Mr. Griffiths On returning to India after his victory. and the sad event which accompanied it, the Sheikh naturally met with a hearty reception from. the Anjuman-i-lslam, a large number of Hinds gentlemen even-joining in the demonstration. He was driven from the railway station into the City of Lahore in great state, the numerous carriages forming a long procession. From ttt. platform down to the Sheikh s house the popu- lace had lined themselves on both sides of th.' road, forming a splendid avenue. The pro- cession entered the city through the Delhi Gate* and stopped near the Kotwali, in order that tlteo Sheikh might receive an address from the Kekeziasi his tribesmen, who had assembled- there in large numbers. The Sheikh, in the course of his reply, remarked that the chisf reason why the British Empire in India standaj, on a firm basis is the character of the people-) of Errand, who are distinguished for their; love of justice and liberty. The Sheikh is now beginning his work anew, with the best wishee- of a large circle of friends and co.religionistl." He seems to have made good use of his tim* itf England for he has brought letters with hinfc from high personages, such as Lord Robert*, the late Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, Sir Robert Egerton, the late Sir Henry Cunning ham, and many others.
