TROUBLE IN THE LIBERAL CAMP. ? Blood and Thunder Meeting of the Cardiff Executive. -:0;- WILD WAR-WHOOP OVER THE RECENT ELECTION. RADICALS THREATENED WITH EXPULSION. Probable Retirement of the President of the Association, COUNCILLOR JOHN JENKINS DECLARES HE'LL WASH HIS HANDS OF C THE WHOLE ORGANISATION. The Progressive fighting at the recent muni- cipal election has been hotter than the Liberals J relish, and, if we know anything, it is going to be hotter in the future than ever before. The Party of Promises, in Cardiff, at least, are living already in a torrid zone. There was a pitiful exhibition of weakness and travail at the meeting of the Liberal execu- tive, held at the Liberal Association offices, Market-buildings, on Tuesday evening. There was whooping at the meeting, but, as usual, one section whooped against the ether, and the Liberal cats upon the tiles imitated the music all night long. Alderman Sanders presided. His aldermanic smile froze somewhat as eawh executive member strode ::nto the room with fire in his eye and the war-cloud gathering on his countenance. It was the first assembly since the elections. There was bnly one topic—the deserved de- feai of the Radical aspirants on the second of JJ ovember—all the rest dwinaled into insig- nificance. The members galloped over them to get at each other. They spoke of their Jatu candidates and worker* my all "aspirants," with a bitter acoent on the initial syllable. Ii vain Alderman Sanders beamed hopefully upon his meeting. In vain he tried to turn the tide of bickering. Claws were out, and the man who tried to get between them only goc himself scratched. Bitter truths fell with a thud heard in the street below. Whole chunks ot fact were introduced-quite an unusual thing -for battering purposes. There were some absent members whom the whole meeiting united in whooping down. Mr. Rowditcti, a well-known Radical at the Docks, a-Nd hitherto closely identified with the Liberal party, was visr'ted with the most spicy Liberal vituperation. The party had reckoned without their host when they backed Mr. Wall for the South Ward, and expected blind obedience after the Liberal style from their friends. It was stfled that Mr. Powditeh had opposed the candida- ture of Mr. Wall in the South, and opposed Air- John Jenkins at Grangetown. There was no searching amongst their own failings J.n the executive; there was no thought of allowing any man a little liberty amor get the gentlemen who were ready to oppose Mr. John Jenkins themselves if they had not succeeded in forcing him to fight the Radical ticket instead of pure Labour. Liberty is directly opposed to Liberalism. So they went for Mr. Rowditch tooth and nail in that gentlemen's absence. 1\11'. P. A. Fox moved that he be summarily expelled from the organisation for "treachery." Air. Lloyd Meyrick and Mr. S. G. Wil- liams were the two who, although Liberals, retained a sense of gratitude and friendly recollection. They stayed the torrent, inter- posing with the suggestion that it would be unfair to exnal Mr. Rowditch (who had ren- dered good eervice as a former Radical secre- tary for the South Ward) until he had an opportunity of "explaining his conduct and offering some defence." This suggestion was eventually adopted, much to the disgust of some. It wan pointed out that Mr. Wall was not brought out by the association, but, on the other hand, it was asked how any man could da.re to question the municipal fitness of a candidate who called himself a "Liberal." It is a pity the meeting was not held 60 that every follower of Liberalism could hear and gain some excellent enlightenment. Expulsions v. ould be very numerous- "Ilib executive's decision concerning Mjr. Rowditch rankled terribly in the breast of Mr. John Jenkins, who had fell Mr. Row- ditch's opposition very keenly. The coun- cillor took up his hat and prepared to march out of the meeting. He declared that he would wash his hands of the whole Radical organisation. That would have given Mr. Jenkins a chance to stick to Labour, and give it Ibis undivided energy, but, alas! for the working men of Grangocnvn, the meeting promptly stopped the councillor from washing any Liberal dirt off. A kind Liberal significantly informed him that would never do after what had occurred. Others chimed in, and pointedly told Mr. Jenkins that lie stood to lose more than he would gain by the step wished to take. Thus covertly threatened, Councillor Jen- kins re-considered his manly impulse, and sat sat upon h.s Liberal footstool again and fell in with the resolution to "order Mr. Rowditch to appear" before the association on Friday evening next for dissection. After thus beginning the weakening pro- cess, the executive discussed suggestions for strengthening the Radical organisation again. One of the best suggestions would have been to move Ihieaven and earth to keep any account of these proceedings from the "Express," but no one thought of it when their own organ had not got upon the scent. It is currently reported that Mr. Robert Bird, the president of the Liberal Association, contemplates immediate retirement from office. .J< .o..L-

A Pitiful Tale A BltUTAL ACT. A POOR WOMAN DEPRIVED OF HER SIGHT. A pitiful tale was told the magistrates sit- ting at Cardiff Police-court, on Wednesday morning/ by a woman named Caroline Wil- liams. She had been for five years living with Timothy Good, a tall, powerfully-built labourer, by whom recently she had been ill-treated on several occasions. Things came to a climax on September 22, when Good returned home and demanded something better than the bread ana cheese which Williams had got for him for supper. As the woman was unable to do as he asked, there being nothing else in the house, Good pulled off his boot, and threw it at her. The heel caught her in the face and gouged out her right eye. She was taken to the Cardiff Infirmary, where she had been attended for her injury ever since. When prisoner had been told of the effects of his brutality he had replied, "Serve her right."—Dr. Cresswell described the wound, which had completely destroyed the sight of the eye, and as the woman previously had been blind in her left eye, "he was now alto- gtiher without sight.—Prisoner was com- mitted to take his trial at the next assizes.

MOTOR CABS. TEE NEW REGULATIONS. To Come Into Force on Saturday Next Limits of Speed. The regulations of the Local Government Board with respect to the use of motor care and other light locomotives, w'hicli coJhe into force on Saturday, were issued on Tuesday l? er evening. It is set forth that the expression "light locomotive" means a vehicle prupelled by mechanical power under three tons in weight, and not used for the purpose of draw- ing more than one vehicle (eueh vehicle with its locomotive not exceeding four tons), and so constructed that no smoke or visible vapour is emitted, except from any temporary or accidental cause. In Calculating the weight, water, fuel, or accumulators will not be in- cluded. A light locomotive must not exceed 61ft. in width, and the tyre of each wheel must be smooth, and, where it touches the ground, flat. If the weight exceeds IScwt., and k leas than a ton, the width cf the tyre must be not iess than 2,1An. if it exceeds one ton, but not two, not less than 3in., and above two tons not leas than 4in. There ie no exemption from the enactment, which requires damage caused to bridges to be made gcod, and provides against a vehicle becoming a public or private nuisance. Under Section of the Customs and Inland Revenue Act,' 1888, Certain Excise Duties are Payable for every carriage and hackney carriage, as thereby defined. Where a light locomotive is liable to duty under this section, an addi- tional excise duty will, on and after January 1 next. be payable at the following rate:- Exceeding one ton and not exceeding two, unladen, £ 2 28.; exceeding two tons, ur.&den, L3 34. It is required that a light locomotive shall be so constructed as to admit of its being at all times under control. Provision is likewise made vitli regard to the carrying of proper limits, bells, and the observance of the usual rules applicable where carriages meet or pass each other. each other. As to speed it is laid down that it must be reasonable and proper, having regard to the traffic on the highway. Under no circum- stances must it be Greater than Twelve Miles an Hour, and if the weight unladen of the locomotive is one ton and a half, and does not exceed two tons, it fnust. not exceed eight miles, or if it exceeds two tons, not more than five miles an hour- Another provision ia that if it is used on any highway to draw any vehicle it must not be driven at a greater speed than six miles an hour. A light locomotive must be capable of being so worked that it may travel either forwards or backwards, bIt it must not travel back- waids for a greater distance or time than may be requisite for purposes of safety. The driver musk not negligently or wilfully pre- vent, hinder, or interrupt the free passage of any person, carriage, horse, or cattle on the highway, and, at the request of a police-con- gi. stable or any person having charge of a restive hor»;e, must stop th<? locomotive and remain ettttioiiary 10 iong as may be reasonably neoef«ary. The regulations remain in force for six monthf, and the penalty for any breach of them is a fine nit exceeding S10. General regulation* as to the safe carriage of petro. leum are also issued.

Overseers at Logger- heads PONTYPRIDD OVERSEERS AND THE LLANWONNO ASSISTANT. Stipendiary Williams Says the Latter Must Be Ejected. At Pontypridd Police-court on Wednes- day morning, his Worship, Mr. J. Ignatius Williams, stipendiary, delivered It's decision in the case in which the Pontypridd overseers sought to eject Mr. William Evans, assistant- overseer for Llanwonno, from the vestry-hall and offices, Pontypridd.

1 A T11A T L OFF LO U K. CARDIFF YOUTHS CHARGED WITH BEEASING AND ENTERING. A short tinre ago two youths were committed to take tiheir trial at the next quarter sessions by the Cardiff magistrates on a charge of break- ing and entering a loft occupied by George Henry Tregaskis at the Crown Biscuit Works, John-street, and stealing 216 empty sacks. The evidence showed that the arrest, had been made through a trail of flour which had fallen from the sacks- The police-constables, Thomas and Lathom, stated in their evidence that three men were seen with the sacks, tout that one had made good his escape. Since the committal of the two men, Henry Heathfield, who it is alleged was the third youth, has been captured. Dn Wednesday morning he was brought up and sent by the stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) to join his supposed companions awaiting their trial.

Bread Underweight ADJOURNED CASES AGAINST CARDIFF GROCERS. THE BAKER NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTS OF HIS ASSISTANTS. The summonses taken out by the weights and measures department against persons for selling lbread otherwise than by weight, which were adjourned on Tuesday to enable the prosecution to ascertain whether a, tradesman was liable for the wrong-doing of an assistant whom he had instructed in the Act, again came before the Stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) and other magistrates sitting at Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday morning. On the summons sheet the charge read rather curiouslv. It ran thus — "Be' iig a seller of bread out of the City of Lon- don, and the liberties thereof, beyond the weekly bills of mortality, and the liberties thereof, and ten miles of the Royal Exchange, did sell bread otherwise than by weight. The proceedings were out under the Bread Act, the preamble of which contains the wording above mentioned. -Robbed of all superfluity, the section of the Act simply is intended to indi- cate that bakers in the City of London are governed by a different law to that in force in the provinces. Mr. J- Andrews (deputy town-olerk) appeared .-for the corporation and Mr. Belcher repre- sented! one of the defendants.— Mr. Belcher, in calling attention to the sum- monses, said that, as it was probable that the same .point would govern all the cases, he hoped) that the case in which he was engaged would be taken first as a test case. The Stipendiary reviewed his reasons for ad- journing the case, which were, to allow In- spector Major an opportunity to meet the de- fence set up on Tuesday by W. H. Price, that the bread had been sold by his assistant in contradiction of his orders. Mr. Belcher argued that under the Act there was a distinction between the person who sold and the master who caused the bread to be sold, and that the latter was not responsible for the acts of the former. The section contemplated that distinction, for it was possible to proceed both against the seller and the causer of the sell ng. He maintained, therefore, that pro- ceedings ought to have'been taken, either against the actual seller or against the masters for causing to be sold. This had nct been done. Mr. Andrews, in repy, instanced a case in which a father had been fined for selling bread otherwise than by weight, although the bread had been sold from a cart from door to door. The Stipendiary held that there was a diffe- rence between that case and the one in point, whereupon Mr. Andrews said he had! nothing, therefore, bo d'o but to withdraw the summonses in which proceedings had not been taken against the actual seller. The taking of this course resulted in the withdrawal of the cases against Alfred Yates, 25, North Cl. ve-street; William Havard Price, 18, Mackintosh-place; Williams Toms, 3i, Adam-street; Edward Davies, 45, System- street: William Harris, 68, Broadway; Frederick Davies, 102, Broadway; John Grmm, 1, Bishop-street; and Geo. Davies, 69, Cornwall-road. The oases proceeded with were those against Edward Mitchell, 156, Bute-street, fined £ 2 and costs, or in default 'a, month's imprison- ment; Sffd_i.li 'Burden, 52, Worcester-street, fined 10s. and costs, or in default fourteen days' imprisonment: John Bernliard, 98, Clifton-street, fiuei 5s. and costs, or seven days' imprisonment; Johr Bernhard, 98, fined 20s. and costs, or fourteen days.

THE DESPONDENT ITALIAN. WHO ATTEMPTED A SENSA- TIONAL SUICIDE AT PENARTH. Further information of Carlo Dorite, the Italian fireman, who made a desperate attempt at suicide on Tuesday, shows the motive for the crime to have been poverty. Tjjie man wrote to l is parents in Italy from His- lodgings at Paget-terrace, Penartli, and re- ceived no reply to his request for money. The bullets have been extracted by Dr. Musgrove, and the patient explains tire fact that four shots were heard by .stating that he tried the weapon twice in the air before turning it upon him- self. He says he crawled out of the wood when he had put two shots into his breast, and lay for five 'hours before he was discovered by the boy Cross. He did not know there was another shot in. his revolver, or he would have ended his life, for the kept the weapon by him until he was removed to his lodgings.

Chrysanthemums TO-DAY'S SHOW AT CARDIFF. The .tenth annual chrysanthemum show opened on Wednesday in the Park-ii&li, with the allied exhibitions of primulas, and other flowers, plants, ferns, and fruit. The dis- play all round was a creditable one, and afforded proof that growers in this locality stand well by comparison with others in dis- tricts more favoured, in which the cultivation of the autumnal flower is made more of a speciality, and, perhaps, more encouraged. The exhibits are not all staged yet, but a preliminary visit and a cursory glance round suffice to show that the exhibition is equal to anything in the past, and that the display altogether will be niarked by that regard to colour and effect which are so essential to suc- cess. Of the quality of the chrysanthemums on view, it would be impossible to speak too highly—in fact, the blooms were a surprise even to experts, having in view the long drought and the otherwise unfavourable sea- son, which militated so mulch agauist the perfection Wh1&1 is the aim of every lover of the chrysanthemum, and all its varieties. The groups of plants and ferns are again dis- tinctly a feature, and special mention may be made of the beautiful ferns from the nur- sery of Colonel Page. Mr. Harry Giliekt- (secretary) gave universal satisfaction in his diligent discharge of the secretarial duties. The judges (Mr. W J. Godfrey, Exniouth, and Mr. Coombe, Hendre, Monmcuth) com- menced judging at the time we go to pre". The show will be opened at 1.30. and will be continued to-morrow. Mr. Fred G.

New Tredegar Discovery A BODY OF A WONA-N I FOUND TERRIBLY MUTILATED. Early on Wednesday morning the body of I a female in a mutilated condition was dis- covered by the new poke ovens, which are situate near the Rhymney Railway at New Tredegar. Upon inquiries being made it was found that the unfortunate woman was a native of Lower Rhymney, her name being Ann Williams, aged about 65. The deceased was seen in an intoxicated condition at a public-house in New Tredegar late in the evening, and it is said the was led to Tirphil Station, but in her perplexity and inebriate staffs she must have made her way down the line, and was evidently knocked down by a passing train. Her arm and one foot have been completely severed from her body, and there is also a large cut across the forehead and the eye. The body was subsequently taken to Brithdiir Station, to be conveyed: to her home at Rhymney, awaiting an inquest,

To-Day's Football INTERNATIONAL TRIAL MATCH Whites v. Stripes. The teams that took the field at Penart on W Wednesday quite bore out the reputation earned by representative sides in matches of this sort, for at least 50 per cent. of the players, in addition to those refusing overnight, failed to turn out, the result being, that to make up the sdes anyone that was present of importance- orot,herwise-was given a game. Team): — Whites: Back, R. L. Thomas (Newport); three-quarter backs, E. G. Nicholle (Cardiff), J. Carton (Euuw v ale), V. Huzzey (Cardiff), and W. Isaac (Pontnewynydd); half-backs, G. L. Lloyd (Newport), and S. Wilcox (Ebbw Vale); forwards, T. Morris (Penarth), F. Cornish and E. Emery (Cardiff), A. Sawtell and J. Jenkins (Newport), o. Powell (Crumlin), D. iivans (Pontymoile), and D.

Daviee (London Welsh); half- backs, W. Shepherd (Penarth) and J. Driscoll (Cardiff): forwards, W. Groves (Newport), F. Gibbs (Pontvmoiie), W. J. Hughes (London Welsh), W. Williams (Porrtjvmister), N. G. Mor- gan (Bryumawr), A. Edmunds (Ponitymister), R. Morell. and F. A. Matithewa (Penarth). Refe- ree: ilr. A. F. Hill. HE PLAY. The Stripes .started play, and, R. L. Thomas's reply being charged down, play settled in the Whites' half. For tlie ferst few minutes play was sorambiy and totally unintereetiiig. Then Lloyd got possession, and made a good run. the end of the attaok being that Hussey punted over and forced a minor. There w&s some more mid. fiald play after this, the only noticeable features II wu ul two Mhitts1 forwards and a smart individual effort by Curt on. The first score came when play was at the Stripes' 25 line. James, the Newport threequarier got possession, and bringing off a single handed dribble, went three parte the length of the field and scored a try, which Matthews con- verted. About five minutes after the re-start Nioholls (Cardiff) did an exacsly similar perfor- mance from half-way. Thomas (Newport) took the kick, just failing to convert. After this play went to the centre, where Driscoll, with a useful run, put the Whites on tlie de- fence. From a scrimmage near the line Mor- gan got possession, and wriggled over with a 'try, which Ma.tt.hews converted. Play was re-commenced with a scrimmage at the centre, from where the Whites dribbled to the Stripes 25. A leng reply punt by James was fielded by Clemence, but Isaacs got round and saved in the nick of time. Just before half-time the Stripes backs brought off a very pretty bit of j-assing that had bad luck in not ending in a. score. A free at this point saw Driscoll drop fcr goal, but only a minor resulted. Half-time shortly after resulted, the score being:- G. T. M. Stripes 2 0 1 W lutes 0 1% 1 Play in the second half was opened by an attack by the Whites, the Stripes defence having a warm five minutes of it. Afterwards play went to the centre of the field, where, after one or two interesting bits of play, Cle- mence saved in brilliant fashion, running back to save a kick of Jones that was charged down- The Whites forwards soon worked back, how- ever, and Cornish coming through, showed fine judgment when he got to Clemence by kicking across the field, and giving Clemence twice the amount of ground to cover, the result being that Cornish out-distanced the Penarth custodian and scored a try, which Hussey converted. Immediately on the re-start the Stripes' tracks got in some pretty work. At the Whites' 25 James passed back t'o Groves in the centre, who ran over between the posts, Matthews failing to oonvert. Less than five minutes latter some passing by 'the Whites' three- quarters was mulled,' and T. J. Davies, getting a pass on (the far wing, went over with a try, which Matthews again failed to nlace. 1'1 the lasft few minutes of ihe game scrummag- ing was on the fStripas' line, and the White forwards getting possession went over in a bunch, scoring a try, which Hussey failed to convert. Full time was then called, with the score: Final score. G. T. M. I. Stripes 2 2 2 Whites 1 2 1 London v. Oxford and Cambridge. This important trial match waa played at Blackheath on Wednesday, in dull weather and with a. slight wind. There was a mcde- rate exttendance. The ground was in good condition. Baker and Leslie Jones played inside for the universities. Pilkington and Wallis being Gajnubridge three-quarters, and Thomas full back. London started the game and quickly forced the universities to touch down. Then Unwin ran down finely to the London 25, but the Metropolitan forwards forced play back to the cetre, whence Lovetfc broke away, getting close to tthe universities' line, and (the viaitors again touched down. Better combination between the universities' backs nearly resulted in a score, but London managed to save. Witthin another minute, however, Pilkington, getting the ball after neat passing, raced down the wing in brilliant etyle, and, eluding all opposition, grounded the ball behind the posts. Bell took the place kick and converted. A minute later Salter ran in for London, Ashford converting by a superb kick. Score;—Universities, one goal; London, one goal. Swansea v. 'Newport. The Swansea team to meet Newport on Saturday will be stronger than that which beat Cardiff. The Brothers James will resume their places, and Prescott will play vice Richards, the centre having dislocated a finger. -:ù:- ASSOCIATION.

By desire, he has been made a member of one or two of the leading com- mittees, and on Tuesday he occupied a seat on the bench :"t the police-court, although not taking part, and paid keen attention to the procedure. He opened the meeting of the town council on Monday with prayer, and will probablyr conform to what lie called that "very desirable practice," by himself consti- tuting the meeting. He intends wearing the beautiful ermine trimmed robes and gold chain of office at the monthly meetings. The mar- quess, it is quite noticeable, has recovered con- siderably in health since the end of last week.

Regret was struck out of the Liverpool Cup imme- diateiy after his defeat in the St. Leger. The smart young Irish steeplechaser. Stratocracy, will represent Lord Cadogan in the Grand Sefton Steeplechase on Xliuredaj-, and carry his lordship's colours. It transpires that Lord Cadogan was the purchaser of Stratocracy, not M R Lebaudy, as was currently. reported. The horse will remain in William Leader's stable, under the management of the Hon. Cecil Howard. E. Hunt. the rider of Spinning Boy in the Liver- pool Hurdle Handiea.p. narrowly escaped serious in- jury. During the lace his mount forced upon the rails in a scrimmage, and Hunt's left boot was ripped up, and almost torn from his leg, which waa | badlv bruised.

VENEZUELA ARBITRATION. British, and American ^Representatives on the American Tribunal. A Router's telegram from Washington on Wednesday sa-ye —It is announced to-day that Prince Oscar of Sweden has been chosen as fifth arbitrator on the Venezuelan Arbitration Tribunal. The two British representatives will be chosen by the Lord Chief Justice of England and the two American representa- tives by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. A Central New? teleprram from Washington on Tuesday say. ——The composition of the proposed Venezuelan Arbitration Court is still the subject of innumerable surmises here. One report states that, in the event of the four arbitrators being unable to agree on the fifth, the President of the Siwiss Republic will be asked to make the selection. Another version gives the names of the King of Sweden as the fifth arbitrator, and affirms that the Lord Chief Justices of Great Britain and the United States will each appoint two. Neither report is officially confirmed or denied.
