I t MURDER AND SUICIDE. l Double Tragedy at Cardiff. Man Shoots and Kills his Para- mour: A double tragedy took place at Cardiff en :Mondn, evening, when a man named Morgan Swedenbacli shot dead a woman named Mary Ann Ellis, residing at Elden-road, and with whom he cohabited, afterwards turning the weapon 1ipO!l himself with fatal results. 8we<Ï,1:ddl is .said to have been a man of some meins until latterly, when a free-aad- easy method of existence gnidnallv reduced him to a somewhat penurious condition. The deed appears to have been a premeditated one. as Swedenba-eh had only recently pur- chased a small-bore .sporting ride of good make. The only witness of the tragedy was a little domestic helper in the house. Katie l)07'- lIek. who stated to the police that in the cour.-e of a quarrel over a watch, Swedenbach went upstairs, returning w'.th the rifle, which he placed on the table in front of him. Mrs. Ellis-- who w as a widow—remarked, seated in Ellis-- who was a widow—remarked, seated in the chair "D" you think I care for that? I am not afraid." The man then took the ritle from the case. and loaded it. The girl j»ot frightened and ran out, when she heard a re- port and saw a flash. By the time she h-rl rusL"*d into the street she heard another ~e- port. She told her mother what she had seen, and thoy both returned to the house. Mrs. Ellis was dead in the chair, whilst Sweden- bach lay underneath the table, his rifle oy him. Death in both cases is stated to have been iiMaittaneoniP. and there was not the slightest evidence of a struggle, this bearing testimony to the cold-blooded nature of vhe double tragedy. M "s. Aim Williams, an aged woman, wiio had m •-d with Mrs. Ellis, arrived ou the short!v after the tragedy, and, interviewed, said tUt Mrs. Ellis was separated from her husband when they lived at Wrexham, about eight or nine vears a-go. The ^oraaer for a shoit tisif- afteYwards cairied on business at an h ,t.1 in the saniv tov.-n. During this time In r iiu.sita't I met wit! an accident which resu!- td iv, hi- (u. Mr*.

SWANSEA SCHOOLMASrER CHARGED. Alleged Assault on a Little GirL Insufficient Evidence: Case Dismissed. At Swansea Countv Police Court on Wed- nesday. John Henry Jenkins, schoolmaster. Llangyfelach Schools, wa& summoned for carnally assaulting a little girl named Blod- weii Davies. who attended the school. Dr. Rawlings, Mr. A. W. Halden (Cierk to the School Board). and Mr. Gwilvm Morgan were among those present in court. Mr. Xvupert Lewis defended. The little girl said she was ten years old, and lived with her grandmother, Mary Davies. at Brynwiilachhacii. She went to Llangy- felach School, of which defendant wa.s master. She used to take her dinner in Standard I. Room. As she was going there that day. when in the hall, defendant met her and asked how her grandparents were. Defendant's little "iri was just going out of the liall at the time. When the other girl had gone, defendant Ld her by the hand into the Third Class Room, and shut the door. He sat on a low desk, drew her towards him, doing what was complained of. He did not hurt her. She could not ea'^ her dinner that day. On the way home that. evening -he met a Mrs. Williams, and told her what had-occurred. Defendant had over three weeks before put her to lie on a table, and acted indecently. Defendant, came to her grandmother's house on the day after the 17th, and in reply to questions, said he had only ieit her ciothes to see if they were wet. Mary Davies. the grandmother, said gha went down to the school and saw defendant. He told her he had only examined her clothes to see if they were wet. He had always been very tender with the little girl, and was not iongintherccmwithher. When she charged him with having acted indecently before, he never answered "Yes" nor "No." She told him he must come over to her house that evening, and bring Evan Roberts, because she could not speak English. He said he would come at once. The little girl was brought in and told him what she had said there that dav. "Oh. Bloclwen oh, Blodwen. said de- fendant. "if I had '.lone that to a little girl. I'd cut my throat!" Cross-examined: At Sunt. Meuh.-unick s request the giil wa.- taken t" U d'.v<'tO'L- Dr. Ch-trles Kemp (Morriston} sfdd the child rtTis brought to liis house on the following Monday. He found nothing very definite at all. but described what he did find. Cross-examined: With Dr. Rawlings h., madeanother examination on Monday. Marco 30th. The girl's condition was then precisely the same. It might have been due to a slight cold, or possibly to unclean habits, which sometimes gave rise to the conditions present, or it r^jght. have been due to internal troubles. Mr. Lew! '■ Suppose the child had been brought to vou, without any suggestion, what would you have said was the matter with her? —I would think there was slight irritation due to a cause that I couldn't nr-ak • out. Cross-exami-ned The little girl said sine fVI nob cry .nit. Asked about a letter die had written toaschfKmnate named -Maggie Hughes, sire began to crv and could not he got to say what was in it. Frew-nth' she said .she didn't remember. She had complained ioher grandmother before about Janet Evans (12). a girl in the same cla.s. "aid that on Tuesday. 17th. at about one oeloek Blodwen, when in a shed in the yard, told her of what 'Xi'r. Jenkins had done. Elizabeth Mary Davies (12) c *rroiborat d. Gwenllian Williams, wife of a wheelwright living at Brvn-road, said she met Blodwen Davies on that afternoon. She was orymg pitifully, and after asking her questions, was taken to her grandmother. The results of the examination she made of the girl showed results agreeing with the statements of the gild. Cross-C"Xa.min°d Sh" had no recent exper- ience of children, aul only made a luiriicd examination. The charge wa..s reduced to one of indecent assault. Defendant pleaded not gailty. For the defence Mr. Rupent Lewis remarked that charges of this kind were ea.sy to bring and difficult to combat. There was no direct cor- roborative evidence, and he submitted there wa.s no case to answer. The Clerk replied that the fact of charging the defendant proved that the magistrate thought there was a case. Continuing, Mr. Lewis remarked on the im- probability of the girl's story and on defend- ant's excellent character. Teachers were in the next room and children in another, all opening into the- la.rge hall. The doors were haJf glass, and anyone in the hall could see what took place in the room. He (the solici- tor) had personally visited the school, and found that was so. Defendant's daughtt r and teachers were- coiittinudly passing. It might lie asked why a girl of ten should think of such things. From independent inquiries* he had made he found that the little girl's mind wa.s not so pure as it should be. In his cross- examination he had referred to some letters she had written to a schoolmate. Th y con- tained statements about herself and a boy. also objectionable statements about the school- master. Mr. I .ev.isi had tomplaiuant recalled and questioned her about the notes; written io other school girls. She admitted writing notes. but bpgati to cry and denied that thev cor'tained what the solicitor said thev did. Continuing, Mr. Lewis noted tint the girl's mother was a poetess and the child possessed a vivid imagination. Defendant had b^ea for 28 yeara head teacher of a mixod school, for 23 ye-nir.s under the Swansea School Board. Mr. Halden. clerk to the Board, would corrob- orate, and speak of his personal knowledge of defendant foe.- 13 years. Defendant was of most exemplary character; a simple-minded man who had nneyer been found telling an un- truth, or attempting to shield himself bv sub- terfuge when anything was brought a^ainK him ° Mr. Wr. T Evans, arcliitect, proved the p.'ans of the school Defendant gave evidence and sa c! he was croing to examine one of the registers. He S.IAV the child standing by the stove ;n the hall. He put- his hand on her shoulder, and asked her low her gr.tnlfi.ther was. She walked with him into tlie class room. He leaned r.'finst the desk with arms folded and lee. exes^-ed, then remembering the girl had been stanuiin' bv tiio .-tore, he wondered if she wa.s cniito drv H- ask-d Iter if her ftock wa.s dr\, stcoped dow11, and touched the hem. )1r. Lewis Did YOll do anything more than that;—I d'd not. You have heard what has been suggested here to-dav? Do vou deny it? I do. Wltnevs".vaid that when Mrs Davies came to ini, made a suggestion, and asked linn eo ome up in. the evening, he replied, 'Ibis is too s rious a charge to leave till evening 111 c-ome aown. at once." and he went. Katie Jenkins, defendant's daughter, Ivor Jenkins, an assistant teacher (not a relative), and lhoinas Moore, pupil teacher, gave evi aence. The last t.>ld about picking up a let- ter addressed to Maggie Hughes. Jt was too filthy to keep, so he burnt it. He could not 0> \Har it was m Blodwen Davie* hand-writing. Maggie Hughes told about Blodwen, hand- ing her the note, and repeated its content*. Blodwen said if Mr. Moore said anvthm- about it she wouldn t come to school again ° The magistrates did not consider the Vvi- tJc-njc sufficient to justify a committal ard dismissed the case.

- WESLEY CHAPEL BAZAAR.
WESLEY CHAPEL BAZAAR. Mr. Solomon Andrews opens it on Wednesday. Effort to Reduce the Chapel Debt. "Gwen" writes —A very attractive and cheery little bazaar was opened on Wednes- day afternoon at the School Buildings adjoin- ing eslev Chapel. Swansea. Unhappily, there is a debt ot £ 2.200 upon the church, and a special effort is to be made to reduce this to £ 1.000 by the end of next year. It is to assist this scheme that the present bazaar I has been organised; the promoters hope to realise about £350, and, judging by the en- thusiasm displayed by the congregation, and the splendidly iuniiehed stalls, this amount plight to be raised with comparative ease. The interior of the building was gaily decor- ated with vaii-tinted draperies, flags. Japanese umbrellas, and other embellishments, this being the work of Mr. W. Edwards, Oxford- street, and the various stalls which were laiiged under the gallery, were laden with pretty- and most desirable articles of eveiy description. Some lovely fancy needlework, paintings and ornamental glass goods for sale at the Sunday School Stall—a well-furnished emporium of trade presided over by Mrs. B. H Morgan, who was assisted by the Sunday teachers and other helpers. At the'"Sewing Meeting" Stall, under the care of Mrs. A. E. Jones and other members, a liberal stock of useful articles, including dainty lingerie, was quite early in the afternoon exchanged for the current coin of the realm. Another well- equipped stand was that designated the "Con- gregational." where work, both of an orna- mental and plain character was retailed by Mrs. Phelps and ladies of the congregation. 1 he "Choir Stall. wdiich had quite an Oriental appearance, and was full of fascina- tion even for the "'shallow-pursed," was rnder the care of Mrs. Pearson and a few of the choir members. A well stocked sweet store, which was well patronised, was presided over by Miss A. Phelps and seven assistants, and the "Flower StalL" with its glorious wareS- masses of lively spring blooms, fine plants, and piles of oranges and other fruit—was in the charge of the Misses Stride. Banfield, Thomas and Penhale. A thriving trade was done at the "Refreshment bar, which was wiselv worked on the cafe principle. Everything here was as dainty and appetising as the I most fastidious eoual wish, and r.irs. Henri Higmun, Mrs. Ckipir. iii. and their little band of lady attendants were kepi busily employed. Bv- the way, I notice that manv gentlemen at bazaars only seem at ease when patronising the refreshment stalls. Mrs. J. M. Curnow's ic s were in great demand, and the fish pond and bran tub was a source of delight to the youngsters. During the evening a splendid musical piogiamrne will be gone through in the church parlour, when popular local ama- teuis will appear. There are also several side shows, but alt having the same object in view—the collection cf funds. THE 0PEKING CEREMOXY. the bizair was opened by Mr. Solomon Andrews, of Cardiff, soon after three o'clock. Jie was supported by a very large gathering, those present including the Rev. A. F. Dar- lington (in the chair). Rev. A. E. Jones (Wesley). Rev. John Morton (Mumbles). Messrs. Hall. T. H. Goldsworthv, Griffith Davies. C. H. J ones (choir secretary), and the baztiar .secretaries—F. C. Beyan and Mr. Curnow. After a short Scripture reading by the Rev. John Morton, prayer was offered by the Rev. A. E. Joins, and then Mr. Hermann Morgan, one of the most staunch supporters ot the church, gio-e a financial statement, and announced that h., had in hand JB52 lis., given in subscriptions. Mr. Solomon Andrews, in perfoiming the opening ceremony, gave an earnest little speech, and wished'the effort every success. A vote of thanks to him. pro- posed by Mr. T. H. Goldswoithy. seconded bv Mr. Phelps, was carried with acclamation.
SWANSEA LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
SWANSEA LIBRARY COMMITTEE. Closing- Up a St. Thomas Branch Swansea Public Library Committee met on Tuesday, Mr. H. A. Chapman presiding. The other members present were Messrs. J. Wil- liams, C. H. Perkins, Roger Thomas, H. G. Solomon, J. W. Cadwalladr. David Harris, T. Rowland Richards. D. E. Williams. W. H. Morris. Rhys Edwards, David Salmon, T. H. Morgan. J. H. L,e, Rev. Joseph Gimblect. Principal Trevor Owen, T. H. Davies, Win. Tarr, and David Williams. A letter was read from the Town Clerk calling attention to the reception in connection with the Rechabites' Conference on Aug. 3rd, and asking whether or not the Public Library Building would bL at the disposal of the Corporation for the pur- pose of the reception. It was mentioned hy one or two members that the medical men would be in possession of the building some- w here near this date, and that there would be some difficulty in making the necessnrv ar- rangements in time. Ultimately it was agreed that the Chairman and the Librarian should see the Mayor and Town Clerk to make the necessary arrangements.—An application by Mr. E. H. James, the W elsh Librarian, for three months' leave of absence, to enable him to complete his degree in London, was granted.—Mr. Solomon asked whether Mr. James had already gone or not?—The Libra rian stated that lie had, and that it was i question for the committee to grant the neces- sary permission, or he gave in his resignation. It was agreed to engage temporary assis- tance in Mr. James's absence.—The tender of Mr. John Morgan, a blind newsvendor, foi the supply of newspapers and periodicals ier Morriston, Treboeth and Landore brandies of the Library was accepted. Arising out of the report of the Book Purchasing Committee, the question arose a.s to the proposal to close the Port Tennant Branch Librarv. Several mem- bers spoke of lack of appreciation, and the Chairman said the representatives of that dis- trict scarcely ever visited the room. Mr. Lee spoke strongly against the proposal, and said that the new shafts were being sunk at the new dock. and a consequent influx of work- men was taking place. Eight members were for the closing of the branch, and seven against. The Chairman referred to the im- proved lighting of the Library, and the taste of tUs^JLibrarian in the arrangement of the various pictures round the walls.—{t was I agreed to allow the Midland Railway Am- bulance Class to make use of the St. Thomas branch to hold their Suaday classes, Mr. Wil- liams making a special appeal on their behalf.

LABOUCHERE AND FATHER HOOK.
LABOUCHERE AND FATHER HOOK. Neath Priest's Views on "Truth" Criticisms. Oar .Sealii repa. -entative. writing on Tl.ur.sday. says ;—This morning T had a short inteiview with tiie Rev. lath&i- Hook, who is in charge of the St. Joseph's Mission at Neath, the chief promoter in the undertaking which culminated in the erection of the new Catholic Schools recently opened, and a member of the Neath School Board. It will be remembered that Mr. Labeachere ill "Trutl¡.. parsed cer- tain severe strictures on poetry which the rev. Father had written to the "Catm.iic Herald," the title of which was "Satan's Soliloquy." Mv Labouchere described it as doggerel, and suggested it was worthy of the attention of the ecclesisatical superiors of the rer. author. Father Hook said he cared nothing for the opinion of Mr. Laborehcie. and had no de- to advertise him in his paper, lie knew little about him more than that lie was or had been a- member of Parliament, and edited a papier. However, he seemed to be mistaken in the inference he had drawn from the rhymes —(Father Hook did not for a moment ,st;<-i*est that the lines deserved the title of poetry; the real object of which was to induce people to he moie cliaiitabla during Lent. Even if Mr. Labouchere were riblll in his conclusion, that they cifuslitutcd an appeal for circulation to the school building fund, what business was it of Ins? Surely a priest had a right to appeal for assistance for schools which needed financial aid And as to the method of ap- peal—-well, what Mr. Labouchere thought of that did not concern Iiii-,i heist. FATHER HOOK'S SENSE OF HLMOrR. The "ylol'l,ing Leader." referring to the matter, says:—"Truth" suggests that the at;- tention of the ecclesia.sticai superiors of the reverend author should be drawn to the mat- ter. It seems to us that the reverendauthor is gifted with a sen-e of humour which outs him in front of Mr Labouchere oil this oe sion.

Daring Llandilo Burglary.
Daring Llandilo Burglary. Our Llandilo correspondent telegraphs A laiing burglary was committed on Monday light at a grocer's shop in New-road. Llan- dilo. in the occupation of Mr. Theophilus Davies. and known as Gloucester House, when fil8 in gold, LB in silver, and some loose poppers were stolen. Besides this a piece of M.me seemed to have captivated the intruder, ind which he took away with him. The night was exceedingly stormy, boisterious wind pre- vailing, and thi. assisted the miscreant in his ict. It is assumed that he gained entrance fro nithe Cawdor Anns garden, which is at [lie back of the house, made his way through the kitchen window into the shop and thence Io the till. No clue, as yet has been received if the burglar, but the police are busy pro- needing with the matter.
MORRISTON MEMS.
MORRISTON MEMS. The Neath Road Infants resumed their kindergarten studies this week after being closed for a considerable time through i measles. A young Morriston ministerial student, David Morgan, officiated at Tabernacle Chapel last Sunday and preached exceedingly good sermons. An aft iv. Give miscellaneous programme was gone through at last Thursday's session of the Libanus Guild. Mr. Ivor Evans was responsible for the entertainment, over which Mrs. R. G. Edwards presided. e shall be given another opportunity of hearing Dr. John Stainer's "The Crucifixion," which composition will once more be rendered at St. Davd's. by the Church choir. Mr. Edward Davies will probably take the tenor part. The Hey. W. Emlyn Jones attended Taber- nacle Chapel last Sunday evening and an- nounced that he was now awaiting medical advice before leaving for his sea voyage for the benefit of his health. The rev. gentleman spoke with evident difficulty, and appeared tobefarfromwell. Morristonians need not leave the old town during the coming Easter holidays through lack of attractions. On Uood Friday athletic sports will be held on the football field, and on Easter Monday the annual Zion eisteddfod' duung the day, and grand concert for the evening will call for pationage. The opening meeting or the Morriston branch of the Young Helpers' League, in con- nection with Dr. Barnardo's Homes, wa sheld at the tabernacle Schoolroom on Tuesday evening. A lecture, well illustrated by lime- light views, and splendidly given by Miss Lanoer iflimiea for the V.H.L. for South Wales and Monnioutlisluv) upon a visit to the homes, was much admired by the large attendance over which Mr. Wm. Williams. Maesygy.-evriCP. prodded. 'there was some lear among the many ad- mirers of the band of the 1st G.A.V.—popu- larly the "Morriston" Band—that its effi- ciency would .suffer through some of its mem- bers being debarred by the colonel because of their excepting positions in the Post Office Band as well, from playing in the 1st G.A.V. henceforth. Substitutes of sterling ability are at hand. however, and the band 1 thought played as well as ever with thee ineiuded at last Sunday afternoon's practice. The band will he on the old spot—the Mumbles Pi en- during the Easter holiday season. A very entertaining meeting was given at the rooms of the Morriston Y.M.C.A? branch on Wednesday evening, the lecturer being Mr. \Y.. Thomas, Manselton boot stores, and the lecture, "William Dunn, the converted clown." Mr. John Williams (blacksmith) presided over a good attendance. The life story of the remarkable clown was sketched in very happy style, the lecturer telling how he was treated cruelly by his stepmother, lie was saved from drowning. lie met with adventures in the highway, he journeyed to London.be was wrecked near Guernsey, wa.s thrown into the company of a tramp, he walked to Cornwall, he was engaged as a clown, he lost all engagements through drink, his wife pawned the Bible for fourpence to secure a. Christmas dinner, he succeeds in Bristol at the City Concert Mall, he was in- duced' by his kind landlady to sign the pledge, be goes out for a walk with the landlady's son only to be guided into "Bethel" and he is won to Christ. Being unable one even- ing to delude the concert audience any longer, and failing to commence his song he leaves the stage for ever to take up the more con. genial and elevating vocation upon which he is now engaged—that of temperance advocate Mr. Dunn comes to Swansea in the near fu- ture. The annual Morriston Pleasuie Fair was held last Monday, and oh, what a place there was there in the evening! During tlieafter- noon, business was quiet, excepting for the tumult caused by the schoolchildren, who were celebiat-ing a holiday. But when the evening came on, the place wa.s blocked with the younger generation let loose. The irri- tating "1 paser" was resurrected a,nd the pur- veyors of these were busy. There was an article somewhat like the jester's bladder which seamed unpleasantly prominent, whilst there were a few other tilings onsalewhici). helped to cause a disturbance. Studi's ''Got)-, douis" were pationised by all and weie the chief pleasure medium, but to ieach the concern one had to i an the risk of being knocked over by the surging crowd, had to cheerfully submit to being regarded as a target for water squirting by violent young females, together with running the gauntlet of other weapons of the fair. The sooner such an institution as the Morriston "Pleasure"—what an absurd qualification—Fair is deceased, the better for Morriston and Morristonians. Titeonlyplea- sure obtainable on Monday was that secured bv being able 1o leave the phu e as sc>>n as pos- sible. The Globe Square U (lut." inadequate for the holding of a, fair. Thepark movement-, which one believed to have been allowed to R.I.P. has arisen once more and at a Council committee meeting this week the proposition that Morriston should be provided with a public playground more accessible than the one which poses now a.-< theirs was made with all the appearance of a. new scheme. Over six months have elapsed since Councillor Matthews fir-1- propounded the idea, and it was decided that the com- mittee should visit the suggested site at Clasoinonf and report, thereon. There must have been an overlooking of the promise to treait the members hospitably whilst up here, however, as it does not appear they ever fulfilled the engagement. Perhaps it would notbo ungenerous to hope that this time the committee will see their work through. Some libera.1 Morriston councillor, will you "tea" the august body? There is nothing unsuit- able about the site, and providing the land can be secured, there ought to be no doubt whatever about the much promised grounds being a. reality. And there can be no pos- sible doubt that Moniston deserves all she can get from the Swansea, Town Council. which is so much engrossed in beautifying Abertawe that it takes a considerable amount of fighting to carry a plan for the betterment of humble Trefoils.
