He was ev;j6r eXamination tor upwards of an hour, and his 2ol(]tQc:e had relation to the existence and number of Opj fields in Wales. Mr Williams expressed his l0ci that the Welsh gold fields would have an \yep taut future before them if only sufficient capital ¡'i e expended in the gold-mining industry in the \t(JJ,lplpa.lity, and if also the mines were economically j, He was of opinion that the Welsh gold > ejcvj^.Were equal to many others of which he had O*0e 'n the colonies and South America.

Jvont the P, apett
Jvont the P, apett .r. Mr H. ^1. Stanley, who is staying at Miirren, fractured his ankle while out walking on Saturday. The Elcho Shield, competed for at Bisley, has been won this year by England. The totals were—England, 1,670; Ireland, 1,033 Scotland, 1,017. The Exchequer returns from April 1 to July 25 show- Receipts. 375,01)3 expenditure £ 30,069,2!>0 balances £1,3:>1,617. In the corresponding period of last year the receipts amounted to £26, 7G7,44G, expenditure £20,077,379 balances £ 1,378,332. Mrs Rowland, aunt of Mr Stanley, the African ex- plorer, was found dead on the floor of her bedroom in Tyldesley on Friday night. She had suffered from paralysis, and had been very eccentric since the death of her husband a few months ago. She was seventy years ,tg of aile. The Earl of Wicklow, who has been ailing since Sun- day of last week, died on Friday morning. The deceased, who was a representative Irish peer, was burn in 1842, and succeeded to the family honours in 1881. He is succeeded by his son, Ralph Francis, Lord Clonmore, who was born in 1807. During a heavy thunderstorm which broke over Lacy- green, near Aylesbury, on Monday, nine men attending the village flower show took shelter under a tree. After a vivid flash of lightning, followed by a series of loud reports, visitors saw the men lying huddled upon the ground, three of them dead, and the others more or less injured. At the works of the United Alkali Company, Gates- head, on Sunday evening, a condenser, ninety feet high, suddenly fell. and buried one of the workmen. Other men ran to the spot, in the hi pe of extricating him, when they were overwhelmed by the fall of two more con- densers. The result is that seven lives have been lost, and as the ruins have caught fire, it has been impossible, np to the present, to vet tt the bodies. After an inquiry lasting seventeen days, Mrs Cathcart, of Wootton Hall, Staffordshire, was on Thursday declared sane and capable of managing her own affairs. The verdict was received with applause. Some hours earlier there had been an exciting scene between Sir C. Hussel and the Master in Lunacy (Mr Bnl wer, Q.C.), the former accusing the latter of strong feeling in the case. At the Shropshire assizes Margaret Evans, a young domestic servant, was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude for the manslaughter of her illegitimate child. Sir Charles Foster, M.P., who was carried out 0" the House ofoCommons on Friday night, died at 8.20 on Sunday night. There were present at the time his wife and son, the latter having been summoned from the country. The deceased baronet, who sat for Walsall as a Gladstonian, was born in 1815, and had represented Walsall since 1852. At the last election he was returned unopposed. At the Auction Mart, Tokenhouse-yard, London, last week, Messrs Edwin Fox and Bousfield offered by order of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners the freehold site of the Church of St. Olave, Old Jewry. There was a full attendance, but bidding was slow to commence with. A bid of £ 15,000 was quickly followed by an offer of £ 10,000, increasing by £ 500 to £lS,OOO, thence by £100 increases to £ 22,000. Offers of £ 50 were now accepted, -iate and ultimately the property was knocked down for £ 22.400. The deed of trust, disposition, and settlement of Mr John Gray Chalmers, printer and publisher, residing in Aberdeen, late of Balnacraig, Banchory, who died on the 1st October, 1890, leaving personalty to the amount of seventy-three thousand, seven hundred and twenty-three pounds, has been confirmed in Scotland. The late Mr Chalmers is stated to have bequeathed ten thousand pounds to found a chair of English literature in the University of Aberdeen, and ten thousand pounds for other public and benevolent purposes. The Liberals have had a great triumph in the Wisbech Division, returning Mr Arthur Brand by a majority of 200. At the previous election the Tories had a majority of 1,087. In 1885, the Liberals gained the seat by a majority of 1J23. Oil Friday there died in a Vienna hospital, in consequence of a street accident, a tramway driver who had keen for many years in the service of the Company. It turns out that the deceased was Baron Envinof'Schonstein, who was formerly a millionaire, and the last member of a distinguished faniilv. A corporal in tile Rifle Brigade was reported to nave oeen found murdered in a meadow between Cheriton and Shorneliffe Camp on Friday. It appears, how- ever, to have been a case of accidental death. The deceased, who, it seems, was intoxicated, had rolled down a bank, and his neck became wedged between the stems of two small ash trees. The marks on his neck showed that he had struggled violently, and that he had been unable to extricate himself. The body {was found at six o'clock on Friday morning by three privates of the regiment. A most determined tight, resulting in the death of one of the combatants, took place ,at jMonongaliela City, America, oil Thursday. The men, Harry Boyd and John Myford, quarrelled about a girl, and decided to fight to the finish in order to settle the matter. Both of them are young, strong, amateur pugilists, and three terrific rounds were fought. The fourth round commenced, when Boyd succeeded in landing a tremendous blow in My ford's neck right over the jugular vein. Myford staggered and fell senseless. Every effort was made to bring hi,n back to consciousness, but in vain. He lingered nearly an hour, and then died. Boyd was arrested and conveyed to gaol. On Friday Dr Rowlands, coroner for Eastern Carmarthen- shire, held an inquest on the body of an infant named David Richard Evans, aged one year and seven months, who met with his death late on the previous night under very extra- ordinary circumstances. The child went out of the house, fell into the gutter in front of his parents' residence, and was drowned in the high tidal water which overflowed the banks of the river Towy. Although the little fellow was shortly afterwards picked up and attended to by Dr Parry, animation was not restored, and he died in six minutes. The jury returned a verdict of Accidentally drowned." At Gloucester Assize in 1880 Henry Fovev, a young Bristol workman, was sentenced to twenty years' penal servitude for shooting, with intent to murder, his sweetheart. She had on slight cause broken off the engagement, and he, impulsive and nervous in disposition, shot her, and injured her slightly. The Home Secretary has been memorialised for the remission of the rest of the sentence the prosecutrix, who visited her old love in goal, joining in the appeal. The result is that the prisoner will be released in a week or two, when he has served eleven years, and it is understood that the couple will be married. The Queen has been pleased to confer the dignity of a Baronetcy of the United Kingdom upon the Right Hon. Joseph Savory, Lord Mayor of the City of Lonlon, and her Majesty has also been pleased to confer the honour of knight- hood upon Mr Sheriff Farmer and Mr Sheriff Harris in con- nection with the recent visit of their Imperial Majesties the German Emperor and Empress to the Guildhall. At the Warwick Assizes, on Monday, before Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, Joseph Triffice Mitchell, cashier and deputy manager at the Saltley branch of the Bir- mingham and Midland Bank, pleaded guilty to having forged cheques and stolen money amounting- to 1*1,000. For the defence, it was urged that the prisoner, who was only 34 years of age, had fallen into the hands of betting men, and had lost the money. His lordship commented on the serious breach of trust, and sentenced the prisoner to ten years' penal servitude. A working bricklayer of Chelmsford, named George Mead. and his two sons, who are also bricklayers, have received an intimation that they have become entitled to property, valued at about jESOOO, left by a brother of George Mead, who recently died in Australia. He went to Australia many years ago, and amassed a small fortune as an hotel proprietor. At Birmingham, on Saturday. Alfred Nibbett was com- mitted for trial on the charge of breaking, in to premises in Bennett hill. On Friday night, the prisoner was caught in the act of thieving by a woman, the caretaker of the build- ing. He attempted to escape, but she clutched him by the throat, threw him down, and after a quarter of an hour's struggle secured him till the police arrived, While a squad or men Belonging to tne utioriey JCUTIB Volunteers were practising on Saturday evening, a shot fired by Private Kay was not signalled. A man was sent to ascertain the reason, and he found Sergeant Hodgkin- son, the marker, lying dead under the mantlet with a bullet wound through his breast, The risks of a. pilgrimage to Mecca may well make the most earnest Mussulman hesitate to undertake that pious duty. Of the sixty-six thousand pilgrims who have sailed from various oriental ports for this sacred spot during the last six years some twenty-two thousand have never returned. A few, it is thought, may possibly find their way back by other routes. Many, it is feared, are murdered by gangs of badmashes, who are believed to travel regularly by the Jedda steamers, marking down pilgrims who are possessed of valuables, and attacking them when favourable opportunity occurs. It is said, however, that by far the greater number fall by the way- side on the long tramp from Jedda to Mecca or Medina. So far as the sea voyage is concerned, tne return journey is for obvious reasons the more dangerous. The overland tramp to and from the sacred cities has the effect of lower in'g the vitality of the traveller, and he arrives at Jedda in a state which predisposes him to the attacks of epidemic diseases engendered by the overcrowding and unspeakable tilth of the pilgrim vessels. A New York correspondent snys that a boat and traces of the Warspite's missing midshipmen have been found sixteen miles from Victoria. The fact that a coat, a pen- knife, a, fishing line, and other articles, which have all been identified, were still in the boat which bore no traces of having been capsized or contained any water, renders the disappearance of the boys most mysterious. This fact leads to the belief that there has been no acci- dent fro.n any cause. The Admiral is continuing the search for the midshipmen. By the will and two codicils of the late Mrs Jane Rogers (widow of the late Professor Henry Rogers and daughter of the late Mr Samuel Fletcher), the following legacies were left.— £ 1,000 to the British and Foreign Bible Society, £1,000 London Missionary Society, Ri,ooo Church Missionary Society, 1,000*. Owens College, Man- chester 1.000*. Owens College to enlarge the Henry Rogers scholarship, 1.0001. Manchester City Mission, £1,000 Manchester Young Men's Christian Association, £ 500 Manchester Deaf and Dumb Institute, £ 500 Man- chester Destitute Boys' Institute, £ 0,000 Mission for Sea- men, P,1,000 Mansfield College, Oxford B300 Bishop of the East-end of London, £600 Cancer Hospital, Owens College £ 5,000 Self-help Emigration Society. The estate was sworn under X63,827 19s. The mortality among members of the House of Com- mons has been unusually high this year. Since Parlia- ment re-assembled in January no fewir than 13 honour- able gentlemen have died—Mr Bradlaugh Mr Kynoch, Mr P. M'Donald, Mr T. C. Baring. Mr §Cavendish-Een- tinck, Mr Tapling, Colonel Hambro, Mr Greene, Mr Barbour, Lord E. Cavenish, Sir R. Fowler, The O'Gorman Mahon. and now Sir C. Forster. During the same period vacancies have occurred from other causes— AlrE W. Maclean having become a Master in Lunacy, Captain Verney having been expelled, and Capt. Selwyn having resigned. Altogether since the Parliament was elected in 1880, 124 vacancies have occurred, and of these, 57 were caused by death. The Conservatives have been the heaviest sufferers in this respect, having lost twenty- four members hy death. Of the other parties in the use. seventeen Liberals, eight Liberal Unionists, and eight Nationalists have died.
