It is a peculiar fact that Jenner, M.D., of ttrkeley. in the county of Gloucester, com- menced his work of vaccination just one hun- dred years ago, and that, on the centenary of his discoverv. the Anti-Vaccinationists* of his county should be converted to his theory by the force of the epidemic he sought to re- lieve.

Writing later, the Central News correspon- dent states that the explosion was so terrific as to entirely demolish the workings a.t the pit- head. The rescuing party had, consequently, the neatest difficulty in making the descent. When a.t last the bottom was reached, four m-n were found alive, but very badly burnt. They were immediately sent to the surface, and on being interrogated, stated that in scrambling over the debris after the explosion they came across the bodies of two men. In each case life was extinct. Have Old Perished. A Central News later telegram says: Fears are now entertained that the whole of the men remaining in the pit, about 100, have perished.

SIR JDHN MILLAISW THE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY ILL. I am sorry to hear (writes the London corre- spondent of the "Scotsman") that Sir John Millais is in a state of health that causes soim- an:.ietv to his friends. Conscious of the rature of the sickness that, besets him, he was most unwilling to accept the succession to the presi- def cy of the Royal Academy. His scruples were overcome with the assurance that every effort would be made by his fellow-acadeniicians to lighten his lahoure. This pledge has been faithfully kept, but in other directions the pre- sident- has been obliged to limit his engage- ments, hotih professional and social. He has been obliged lo decline the invitation to Mr. Henry Tate's dinner to be given to the Royal Academy's associates. Mr. Tate is the muai- foeriit ilonor to the nation of a spl.endid collec- tion of British pictures, for which he is bmld- f e«wtly gallery. For many years i* h^-5 been liLs custom, just 'before th& opening of Royal Aeadoiny, to entertain ftt dinner ili hil( private houiie the principal artiste, of whtwn he has been a liberal patron. Sinoe the innirfV.~f of these dinners S'r John Millais has ?.1 present at every one.

A report ie current (says "Truth") which his caused general surprise, and if it. ^o> m to ?. oorreot it will certainly creaie nvudb irwfi £ rm tion. It is said that Lord Salisbury ha« deeded to appoint Lord Llandaff—better known to th-c publio as Mr. Henry Matthews.

Curate as Co-respondent THE DEVONSHIRE DIVORCE SUIT S7itneSses Tell of Kissing and Hug- ging- in the Co-respondent's House. The hearing of the petition for a divorce, brought by Mr. William Henry Hern, of Dal- wood, Devon, because of his. wife's alleged adultery with the Rev. A. Winnifrith, who had been curate at Dalwood1, was resumed on Thursday. The co-respondent, who defended the case in person at the liret hearing, was now represented by Mr.Rentoul, Q.C. Petitioner, further cross-examined, said he did not suggest that Mr. Winnifnth ha,d taken his wife away, but he certainly thought he had induced her to go away. Petitioner, re- examined regarding a, letter which respondent had written to co-respondent, denied the state- ment that he said he and his wife had not got on well together, or that there had been cocasions for Mr, Winnifrith to smooth things between them. Mrs. Mary Mears said that she had acted as Winnifrith's housekeeper. Mrs. Hern used to visit him. She had seen them kissing and sitting on the hearbhrug Together. Win- nifrith told witness he loved Mrs. Hern, and witness remonstrated, and told him that if she were in Mr. Hem's place she would put him in the millsitream and horsewhip Mrs. Hern. Winnifrith said Mrs. Hern did not like her husband, and that it was awful for a woman tu go to bed with a man whom she hated. Witness on.ce read a note from Mrs. Hern to Winnifrith, in which she s?id, "1 will be up ahis aft'ernoon, a,s Will (the husband) is not well, and we will embrace each other." Witness, cross-examined, said she did not, think, notwithstanding what she saw, that the parties were committing adultery. Mr. Herman Bromfittd, father of the re-, spondent, said he had seen respondent and co- respondent with their arms round each other and kissing each other. He did not interfere because his wife advised him to say nothing, and Mr. Win.niifrith next day apologised to his wife. Witness was a churchwarden at the time. Seen in Alone. Henry Burges ssaid he saw respondent and co-respondent in a lane one night, and he had no doubt they committed adultery. The Defence. Sarah Bennett, the wife of a gchpolmaster, said co-respondent, referring to the efforts to find Mrs. Hern, remarked, I assure you, this .aair will not be settled without my help." Petitioner's case having concluded, Dr. Rentoul a ddresse dthe jury, and called Mr. Winnifrith. Ho said he organised entertain- ments, and Mrs. Hem contributed to the pro- gramme. She drove to these entertainments with her hucband. (Proceeding.)

NATIONAL DEFENCE. MEETING; OF THE) CABINET COM- MITTEE. The Press Association says :—The meeting of the National Defence Committee of the Cabinet wa3 held at the Privy Council office at one o'clock on Thursday afternoon and lasted till nearly <4.30.

PARLIAMENTARY BILLS. BARRY RAILWAY COMPANY. The Barry Railway Company continued the evidence iu support of their Bill before the House of Lords Committee on Thursday morn- ing, Lord Clinton presiding. !\I1". James Bell, resident engineer, at Barry, gave some figures showing that by the new route Bairv would only be five miles, 69 chains, further from their junction thau Car- diff was, and only three miles further than Penarth. Mr. Rees Jones (Ocean Colliery Company) strongly supported the Bill. He was not aware that if the Barry Company would sacri- fice a. farthing on the whole rate he could get coal frcm the Trpharris Collieries at the same rate to Barry as to Cardiff. Even if that were the case, there would be good ground for this Bill, because he wanted one company to con- vey the coal from pit to port. Several Cardiff coal shippers gave evidence in support of the Bill, gating that MoM- incutlishiie coal was now practically shut out from Barry. Mr. Thomnts (of the firm of Powley, Thomas. and Co.) admitted ml cross-examination that the Barry Company allowed Ins firm a rebate of 2d. per ton for sliipping at Bar^v, so that (mciuding railway and deck charges) he was charged 2d. a ton less at Barry than at Car- diff. Mr. Foster Brown, M.I.C.E., was the next witness. He stated that, unless the Bill were pa,ed, ithe coalowners on the Rhymnev Rail- way wcukl be handicapped, and the develop- ment of the district retarded. Mr. Edward Davie*, managing director of the Barry Company, described at length the circumstance; which led to the formation of that company, the reduction of railway rates, ,tc. He considered the time had arrived when the iiew railways should be made. -?-?-

HUMOUR IN COURT. BY THE LADY WHO COULD AFFORD TO BE FUNNY. "He was a very respectable man," said a witness once in a famous case, "he kept a gig." And Mrs. Jane Crozier. 45, of Chris- tian-street, Commercial-road, holds somewhat similar ideas. Mrs. Crozier was behaving in such ;>* demoi>stra,tive fashion at Railway Ap- proach, London Bridge, that a constable who did not know her imagined her to be in liquor. The fact that her breath had the fugiaiice of cowslips lent to the suspicious mind of the constable a certain colour to his theory. On what slight things the bubble reputation hangs' But Mrs. Crozier bounced into the dock in a gorgeous dress and high indignation. '"Drunk, yer honour; myself is it? Faith, thin, yer honour, saving per prisinos. but it's a black-hearted lie that that dirty savage of a constable's after telling. If I was a drunken woman do you think I'd have all this at me 1d.ck?" And she pulled out, not from her back, but from her handsome bodice, a leather bag stuffed with bank notes and drafts. "Luk at that now!" "What's that?" said the magistrate. Mrs. Crozier: It's me property, air. It's not drunk I was at all, yer honour, but I'm apt to get a little excited, and a weak heart, ■and mesilf a hoighly respectablo woman, and the constable treating me like a ravage, twist- ing me arm backward and forward, like a log of wood, or an old glove that ye'd throw away in the gutter. The Magistrate: Now, Mrs. Crozier, what have you really to eay in your defence. Mi's. Crozier: Nothing, your honour, except sorry I am to trouble you a.bout such a paltry affair. And then the magistrate ordered the case to lie put back.

Pretoria Prisoners THE COMMUTATION OF THE DEATH SENTENCE. Influential Burghers Will Petition for: the TotaJ Abolition of the Sentence. A cablegram received at the London office of the "Johannesburg Standard and Diggers' News" on Thursday states, that influential burghera from all parts of the country are flock- ing into Pretoria and petitioning the Govern- ment for the total abolition of the sentence of imprisonment passed on the members of the Reform Committee. A "Times" second edition telegram, dated, Pretoria, Wednesday, 6.40 p.m., says:—I visited the Reform prisoners to-day. All are well except Hammond, who is as well as can be expected, as he is subjected to ordinary fare. The fresh rules come into force on Fri- day, giving facilities for procuring better food and' comforts. The four leaders are confined to one small room. Crowds of relations friends visited' the prisoners' to-day. Con- sidering the circumstances, they are bon:g w" i treated. The correspondent adds:—The reason actuating the prisoners' pleas was ths: counsel strongly advised that, in face of the mass of in- criminating evidence in the shape of letters, telegrams, and codes in the dispatch-box of Robert White, which fell into the hands of the Government, it was the more dignifted courie, and that by the leaders accepting the respo- sibiLity for the graver charge the prosecuti u withdrew the first two counts against the others. The announcement of the commutation created a. deep sense of relief. The executive is now considering the papers, with the < bjejt of ad- vising the President what punishment the sen- tence should be reduced to. Many beiieve it will be banishment for all, with, perhaps, a The French Press. A Reuter's telegram from Paris says:—The "Matiin, "commenting ú1}¡ the commutation of the death (sentences passed on the leaders of the Johannbiiburgcommittee, says President Kruger has just given sure proofs of his magnanimity and prudence. The promptness of the decision he has just taken gives ground for the hope that he will persevere in his policy or appease- ment. In this way he will succeed in preserving the reputation he has gained as head of t "M State ar«d his people. The "Rappel" says President Kruger, whose diplomatic victories are now beyond number, was too shrewd to let slip the opportunity to aggrandise himself in the eyes of his contempo- raries.. In the opinion of the Neuviemes Siecle, the carrying out of the sentences, which were, undoubtedly, too severe, would! never have been pardoned by the civilised world.

FIRED TOO SOON. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT BIG GUN PRACTICE. A terrible accident has occurred at Aider- shot during some artillery operations, in which the whole of the artillery stationed at Aldershot were engaged. Gunner Grier, of "P" Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, was loading his gun, and had driven the charge home, when, it is stated,, a young recruit fired before the word of command had been given and before Grier could get out of the way. The result was the charge exploded before the breech was properly closed, and Grier was instantly enveloped in flames, and his clothing had to be stripped off on the spot. The force of the explosion tore open his tunic, exposing his breast, which, of course, suffered severely. Grier was at once con- veyed to the Cambridge Hospital, where it was found that, in addition to other injuries. his eyes were so badly burned that he would probably lose his sight. Sergeant Hammond, in charge of the gun, was also seriously injured, 'and it is feared that he will lose the sight of one of his eyes. The accident will form the subject of a special inquiry.

CARDIFF BATHS. RE-OPENED BY LADY WINDSOR TO-DAY. The new corporation baths in Guildford- cresoent, Cardiff, were opened on Thursday afternoon, with civic pomp, and under aircum- stances that leave no room for doubt that the venture will realise all the hopes the promoters have in view, of appreciation and support from the public. The new building, externally and internally, has already been described in these columns. The architectural features reflect credit upon Mr, William Symonds, contractor, and the arrangements inside, which include every form" of bath, constructed upon the mo4 modern principles, serve to illustrate the up-to-date ideas of Mr YV Harpur, borough engineer, to whom the public is indebted for the possession of these new baths, which leave nothing to be desired, from the most fastidious of visitors and which can scarcely be surpassed elsewhere in the country for comfort, convenience, and cleanliness. the opening ceremony was per- P of Car.

The Lady Mayoress:, on alighting, was presented with a splendid' bouquet by Miss Mary Harpur, daughter of the Cardiff Borough Engineer. Alderman, Dr. Edgar Jones, as chairman of the Oar (Jiff Property and Markets Comamttee, warmly welcomed Lady Windsor on the occasion of her first appearance to per. form a public function, and introduced to her ladyship. Mr. Hat-pur {as designer of the build- ing) and' Mr. Symonds (as contractor).—Mr. Sym-onds, then presented to Lady Windsor a massive and beautiful gold key, bearing the arms of the Cardiff Ccrporat:on and those of the Windsor family, tastefully re-produced, while the inscription on the key was as follows "Presented to the 'Mayoress of Cardiff, the Right Ladv Windsor, on the occasion of the open- mol" of Cardiff Baths, April 30. 1896. In making the presentation, Mr. Symonds spoke of the privilege be felt, and the pleasure it was (to him, to hand to her ladyship the key which would enable her to open the bualding, and dedicate the same to the public. Her ladvship accepted the key with thanks, and unlocked the door with 11t, while those who ill ad tickets were admitted and conducted in rtate over the baths, Mr. Head-constable McKenzie heading the procession, which duly ir.snected the two men s and the one ladies swimmiing baths, the 32 shower and' warm haths combined, the Jewish plunge* bath, the Turkish bath, &a The tour having been coniTjleited, the principal visitors assembled in. the men's first-class bath, when speeches were delivered from a raised platform occupied by Lord and Lady Windsor and family, Sir T.

Alderman Edgar Jones, and Coun- cillor William Evans (chairman and vice- chairman respectively of the property afad markets committee), the borough engineer. «.nd Mr. W. Symonds, contractor. Lady Windsor, amid loud applause, decferecl the baths open.—Alderman Dr. Edjaar Jones, in nroposing a. vote of thanks to her ladyship, <ra,v6 some details as to the oost of the build- in? ( £ 13,500), and the unrivalled facilities it ofTercd—Mr. Councillor W. Evans, as dccuty-chairman, in seconding, expressed the hope that the n.ew baths would be a financial success such as would justify tho corporation in erecting baths in other parts of the town where they were needed and in which they had been demanded1.—Alderman D. Jones (deputv-lmayor) supported the vote, and Lord Windsor, in reply, said the building formed a link in the chain of great public improvements and renovations' in whioh the corporation was enga.ged, and' he trusted the progressive policy of successive mayors and corporations would be pursued until it was crowned with a now Town-hall. (Applause.) After the speeches came an exhibition of water polo by the Pen- arth Club, and we are informed that the Cardiff Club, which has already 80 members, is arrang- ing for future exhibitions. The manager of the baths is still Mr. Marmian, assisted by his wife and daughter and a.n efficient staff. This is the third' in the series of public baths Mr. Marmian has seen opened in Cardiff, his con- nection therewith dating as far back as 1862. During the afternoon refreshments were pro- vided for the visitors through the liberality of the Denutv-mayor (Alderman D. E. Jones. LW

Matabele Revolt, ALL IS QUIET ROUND BULUWAYO- Rebels Have Now Retired Beyond the Furthest Outskirts of the Town. A Oalziel's telegram from Buluwayo on Thursday (timed 9.45 a.m., local time) says: — The town is now very quiet, the Matabele- forces having retired beyond the farthest out- skirts, the !atest defeats having made the enemy very cautious. It is reported that Babiaan, one of the indunas who visited the Queen at Windsor, has jomed the rebels for the purpose of attacking the new fort, situated six miles from the town. Babiaan has probably taken this step against his will and under compul- sion by the hostile indunas. Earl Grey has arrived here. There will be a. redistribution of officers, as well as in, the position of the troops, with the object of making a general move for- ward. Decisive action has become the order of the day, the Matoppo Hills being the first objective. There is every hope that the rebel- lion will now toon be crushed. A local engi- neer is constructing a balloon for war pur- poses. Six coolie women and children were murdered at daybreak yesterday. Earl Grey at Buluwayo. A Reuter's telegram from Buluwayo, dated Wednesday noon, says:—Earl Grey arrived here last night, and is now in conference with Mr. Duncan, the acting Administrator. He will inspect the troops to-day. The Umgusa impi has retired from its position in the vicinity of that river, but it is not yet known whether it has joined the other impis to the west of the town or whether it has altogether retired, although Mr. Dawson, with 90 of our men and 70 native allies, ig at Matabele. Wilson's Matabele regiment yesterday raided an adjoining farm belonging to Mr. Molyneux, and it is believed that they intend to do further destruction to-day. Off to Mafeking. A Reuter's telegram from Cape Town says: —Two officers and 110 men are leaving here at the end of the week for Mafeking. The Despatch of Troops. The Admiralty has made arrangements for 400 Mounted Infaatry to go out to the Cape in the Castle liner Tantallon Castle on Satur- day. The ship is now being fitted for troope at the London Docks, and will sail from there for Southampton on Friday morning. Extra berths have been taken in the Spartan, which also leaves Southampton on Saturday next for Cape Town. The proposal to land arms and ammunition at Beira to be conveyed to Rho- desia through Portuguese territory was merely a precautionary measure. It is the present in- tention to use the Cape and Mafeking route for a.l war materiel 'being sent up to Bulu- wayo. The road; is open, and there may not be any necessity to send stores through Beira. Official Telegram. The Press Association states:—Sir Hercules Robinson 9ll Wednesday telegraphed to the Colonial Office the following telegram, received from Nicholson: 0 "April 29. Earl Grey arrived safely last night. Considerablo, impi is reported to have crossed the Makefing road near the Rhama River from the Maloppo, and returned yester- day. The impi on the IJmguza River engaged last Saturday has retired three miles north of the original position in thick bushes. Five coolies were murdered by the Matabele while looking after their gardens, two miles west, yes- terday. Saturday's action has materially re- lieved the position, and an atack on the town j" !l0\ uulikelv. Rebels' Ammunition Running Short. The "Pall Mall Gazette" Buluwayo torre- spendent, telegraphing on Wednesday, says: — Earl Grey's presence, it is understood, will in- volve a change in the command, and, in all probability, a more aggressive policy against the lebels will be initiated. The Matabele con- tinue to retire. Babisan, however, a leading induna, has' joined the enemy, taking with him 2,000 men. Scouts bring in word that the rebel ammunition is running short.

The Baby Murders ANOTHER BODY FOUND IN THE THAMES. The Press Association Reading correspondent telegraphs on Thursday afternoon:—The body of another child has been recovered to-day irom the Thames, making the seventh. The Press Association Reading correspon- dent, telegraphing later, says: There would appear to be no end to the finding of mur- dered children here. About noon on Ihurs- dav, when Police-constable Frederick James Vince was on duty by the Thames tow path, extending from the Rennet's mouth to Sonmng, he saw a suspicious-looking parcel entangled in the weeds, and, on securing the parcel by aid of his stick hefound that it contained the body of a well-developed maJe child, about twelve months old. The body was encased Ul a fiaui el wrapper, and around the child's head was t red flannel. The neck, as in the case of the other babies, was tightly tied with the linen material. The uifant had undoubtedly been strangled. Police-constable Vince states that the body had the appearance of having been enveloped in brown paper, as several of the other bodies had been, and something fell from the parcel as he lifted it frcm. the water. But lie cannot say what it was, though he be- lieved it to have been a brick. He marked the spot, however, on the bank, and the river will be closely searched. The police are on Thurs- day carefully examining the bottom of Clappers' Pool with a search light. The body of the child found on Thursday was dreadfully decom- posed, but from certain clothing found upon it. the police hope to be able to trace its identi- fication. The greatest excitement again pre- vails in Reading.

S.P.C.C. BAZAAR AT CARDIFF !TWO THOUSAND POUNDS ALRlfiADY TAKEN. The grand national bazaar in aid of the funds of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren was opened for the third and last day at the Park Hall on Thursday after- noon by Lord Windsor. Although at was impossible to say much that would be novel on the third day, Lord Windsor remarked, still he was glad to have the opportunity of once more thanking all who had undertaken the arrangements for the bazaar. He felt that it was difficult to sufficiently express their gratitude to those ladies who had amie from remote parts of South and Mid-Wales, but he hoped they would be repaid by being able to get rid of their wares before the close of the day's proceedings. He wished also to say that Lady Dunreven expressed tier regret at not having been able to be present. She, he believed, had been prevented by ill-health, but at any rate Lord and Lady Dunraven had sent on a cheque for JB50. He (Lord Wind- sor) would also congratulate all the stall- holders on the success of Wednesday's sale. It was most satisfacticxry, the two days' sale having resulted in gross receipts of over £ 2.000. He hoped that to-day's business would in itself clear all expenses, and that they would be able to hand over the £ 2,000, if not more, to the society. He concluded by once more thanking all those from Cardiff and the neighbourhood, and local counti, <, for the kindness and sympathy they had shown.— A vote of thanks to Lord Windsor, proposed by Mrs. Mackintosh, and seoonded by Mrs. Franklen Evans, was unanimously carried. Yesterday's Receipts. We learn that the exact amount of Wednes day's receipts was JB603 14s. 2d. During the afternoon the sketch, entitled "Dearest Maunma," a concert by the Rhondda Glee Society, and a variety -entertainment were given, and were well patronised. The per- formances will be repeated to-night, when, in addition, an entertainment will be given by tho Ladies Poudre Glee Troupe. To-night will, no doubt, witness the. "fun of the fair," and there will, in all probability, be a. big rush of clearing off business after ten. <

In this cata- logew the hopenin' ov eeverial old sewers and drains stopped by hintereating pre-hadamite find Reman Remains are not melooded. Which may account for the hattitood ov my isistei-m-law, who 'ave goae in strong for the ladies' club at the Hexibition, and. 'ave already acquired a. latchkey ov 'er hown, with a. pot ov luminous paint for the key'ole- Hopenin' ceremonies IS coinin' so thick that Cardiff will be sufferin' from a hepidemic ov liver before the summer closes. Tories, 'a-vin.' long bin suspected ov bein' present in Hadamsdown, 'ave become so thick in that hanoient locaJity that it 'ave bin found neaessary to purwide 'em with a club. That means a. vivid hincrease in strength, as the man says, meetin' the bit ov Stilton 'e 'ad taken 'ante the day before bein' brought back aitfain by a. policeman, 'avin' bin found wander in' without a muzzle on. "No hoffence intended in g.ivin' you doo notice, Bill," says Thatcher, bringin' me a. hinwitation to the hopenin' ov the club last hevening. "We'ave prepared a spread for you and Maclean sich as the gods never 'ad, 'opm you both does justice to it," says 'e. "I'll go in trainin' immediate, Henry J. says I. I does. I eschewed vittals for three days, and with a run round Roath Park mornin' and everun' I feels like bein' a serious danger to the food supply ov Cardiff Wednesday slight. A man who don't show hup 'anasome at hopenin' spreads ain't doin' 'is dooty to the good, work. It are a real good 'omelv ciub, that club at Hadamsdown. I were par- ticular refreshed by the hexcellent quality ov Old Crusted Tory flooid as they keeps there. It were seven-thirty when the crowd 'ad gathered houtside the door. What hare we waitin' for? ha." Bird says to the Liberal paty, feeiin' tired hon the march- from Westmin- ster, I inquires. "Maclean are coinin' with the key, as 'ave got down the limn' ov 'is waistcoat pocket," they makes reply. "Why don't they 'ang it hon the nail or put it under the door mat for members?'' I sayo; but, avin' it explained this is a special night, and hour member as to do the 'eavy work, that were all right. Maclean 'he aomes punctual, and we cheers as 'e fishes hout the key, and in the whole orowd goes We finds signs as ov pecple 'avin' got in before us though, probably through the winder, and there were a smell cv cookin' as nearly made hus faint, bein' all in trainin'. "Beef fugt," I tell the waiter. "A rib |ov it, as bein' solid for a foundation." On that, I 'as another rib, and li orders a leg ov mutton next. There was others 'as a leg weren t enough for, but I leaves room for a fowl or two, bein' prudent. Consumin' a poultry-yard heasy, along with a, kitching gar- ding, I were ready for iiapple tarts, custards, and jellies. Maclean and Thatcher and Dr. Trehaine, Waddington, and David and Hughes as was there finishes hon bread and cheese; but I 'as to give in, bein' fatigewed and gettin' bread and cheese hevery day. The great superiority ov the baukewet hover, the Temperance Club hopenin.' were in the matter ov liquids, as were had ginger at the Temperance, and too heatin'. Maclean were in fne form hafter that pro, verder, sailin' into the Governmwite hover that Boer business hin a style we cheers to the hecho. Why do these 'ere hopenin's come so thick? What chance 'ave a man got hafter a week sich as this ov doin' 'is dooty again this hevenin. But the presence ov Conserva- tives bein' halso egspected in Roath, Maclean are openin' a club there to-night. "You're coinin' Bill, ov course," 'e says. "Hain't feeiin' like it now," I says; "but I'll see what a few hours trainin' will do." That trainin' are busted. Who should be comin along this afternoon but hour Lady Mayoress, noddin' to me sweet.

Row in a Coal Pit ? ALLEGED ATTEMPTED MUR- DER AT MOUNTAIN ASH. Our Mountain Ash correspondent tele- graphs:—On Wednesday evening, whilst at work at the Lower Duffryn Colliery, Mountain Ash, a man named Edward Jane", aged 24 vears. residing at Incline-row, Cwmaman, and employed as a labourer, is alleged to have made a desperate attempt to murder a haulier, named David Morgan, aged 21, of 1, Phillip- street, Mountain Ash, by striking him on the head with a hatchet, inficting a wound on the head four inches long and three-quarters of an inch deep. Jcnes, it is stated, struck Morgan a second blow on the shoulder, causing eev ere bruises thereon. It appears that Edward Jores was engaged with another man, named Benjamin Davies, in stowing rubbish in a gtall in the Seven-feet Seam, and Morgan was in a stooping position, in the act of hitevhing the horse chain to a team to remove it out of the way, when Edward Jones is stated to have caught hold of the hatcet, which was left in the stall by a collier after the day turn, and struck Morgan. Davies immediately went to Morgan's assistance, and a desperate struggle ensued, during which all the lights went out, and Jones escaped and raced about the work- ings like a maniac. He was ultimately caught douching in a corner in the darkness, and when brought to the pit bank was taken into custody by Police-sergeant King. The young man Morgan is in a serious condition, and is now at the Mountain Ash Cottage Hospital. Prisoner in tho# Police-court. At Merthyr Police-court Edward J.
