THE DAGENHAM ROMANCE. TWO YOUNG PEOPLE WHO AGREED TO DIE. I MALE PRISONER COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. The Dr.genbam romance was further investi- gated a.t the Stratford Police-court on Saturday, a number oi ladies being in court.—Counsel for the Treasury aaid the male prisoner, Hill, would be further charged with attempting suicide. —Colonel Howard, the magistrate, said be waa surprised at the Treasury action. The girl Spooner ought also to be in the dock. A charge of attempted murder was perfectly ab- surd. Both should have been cWrged with attempting euicide.—Misa Spooner was then called, but on entering the witness-box fell into a swoon. — The esee was adjourned for a short time, when she was further I examined. She practically repeated the evidence already given. The prisoner had seemed much worried. They had previously qnarrelled, but it had all been made up again. I' He had written referring to the Southend murder as a cowardly act, and the had written prisonA that she was afiaid of him, but that n act only in fun. He had suggested anicidea ¡ long time Ago. They both went to D&genham purposely to commit suicide. Priwner's parents objected to hia courting her. Ho hod never. threatened her. Sue considered it part of the corapaot that they should die together. She did not iscream when he stabbed her. She never considered that he was attempting to murder j her. Afti-v further evidence the prisoner was committed for trial for attempted murder, bnt the bench thought it WHS a flimsy ea«e, Mid that both should bare been charged with attempted I suicide

Kn tt. { PRESENTATION OF THE CUP. When all the rmests had assembled in the bf>uquetir>g-hall Major Trick '>lid he had much pleasure in j handing over to Lord Windsor, as lord-: lieutenant of the county, the China Cup, won by tlie f H am org arwh ire Varr. at Bisley in July Last. His lordship was aware, but, perhaps, there were some preeent who wore not aware, there were some preeent who wore not aware, that the cup was compote! for at the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association by j teams of ten men from the counties of Eng- j land, Scotland, And Wales. W hen it was borne in mind that toese teams were the pick 1 of oounties which in very many case>s had a j much larger Volunteer force than Glamf»rgan hn thought it would be admitted that that county had done exceedingly well this year. Thect* we-e 1" m.iuv :«< 313 counties com petiug, and, therefore, they would understand that oonsidershle credit was du., to the team: for having brought back the cup. Glamorgan had oompet-ad for the oup for many yoaFS pagt, I They hati not done so well before. although on wveral occasions they had been high up in the liirt. This was the first time that the Ohina Ojto had been brought to Walee. It carried with it a feet prize of £ 30; but it was tk>« on acoountt of the money that they frit some prwle in their victory—it was the! faofc that the shoe-ting of the team, had placed | (rhwivcrgan in the poeitioti of being the premier ] counw in the United Kingdom, wh*ch, ae he! had explaaied, WN; no funwl achievement. He would tiot trench upon the time.of tiioee preeefit J -with a kt3g qpeecfc, but he would like bo 8*7 I Alia* ra&wfetau wh*cfe the j 'Jit., '< J [ApplaoHB.) Not ealf had Lord Wimfcor giveu 1 tbeaa. a TnagnafioeD* iteoefp^xm but he wae 1 gapiMtft^wipgjurk* of VohTHheer moweroent | by being a. con^-thotdr towards the Countr,' RiAs Asdndiatian. That was a very important! and valuable imatttttteon, and one well worthy i of support, izaemucji as rfee object was to train; VofemteerB in the act of shooting and making them effieieoe friflemett, so that their services Bejwioee might possibly some day he of inestimable value to their oauntiy. Sajw Track then tendered to Lord WiitdBor. oil behalf of the team, their most hearty thanks for bis most magnificent, receiption of them, and assured him that the day's events would eVEr I iemam m their re«Hleotion. (Hear, hear.) He had much pleasure now in formally handing over to his lordship the cup, with the hope that the day's proceedings would be an incentive to Glamorganshire Volunteers to use their utmost endeavour to win it again. (Appiause.) Lord Windsor, who was warmly received, said he felt some legrbis«ftie pride in being per- mitted that day, as the representative of the county, to receive that magnificent trophy. It wae no smsull reapoaMtMSty to undertake the custody of such a, stupendous vaee. It was so large that life had already experienced some difficulty in dealing with it in a modest dwell- ing-house. (Laughter ) He hoped that so magni- ficent a trophy won by the marksmanship of the county team would be eeen by as many people JJ? possible throughout the whole of GlamcaTgaiiahdre. With thu objfeot in view, he hoped the Mayor of Cardiff aad the Mayor of Swansea at least, would, to a certain extent, share his responsibility, and take the cup into their custody for a time, so that it might lie on view in two of the largest towns in the county. (J:lt*u\ hear.) He thanked aU those who had kindly come that day to support him in receiv- iug the cup 011 behalf of the county, and oifcred hn hearty congrn'uiations to the tt&m for their very great .<u*«e.-is. Be expressed further a hope and v, i.sh that when the. cup was sent back to the National Rifie Association in June of next year it would only lie for a ..hart leove of absenw, and that it would soon find its way back to true i-ouiny. (Applause.) i^KDY wLm).^OR I'liiisEI-riS THE BAIXiKS. j Major Trick stated that Lady Windsor had been oraoiouslv iiieadeti to prnserit the team witli badges commemorative of the occasion ;«id with cheques far the money they had won.

He (Lord Aberdsre} was told strictly to limit his oleervatiens to a few words, but it. was sometimes more difficult to nrnkj a short speech than a long one. On the occasion when Lord Windsor attaintd his majority he (Lord Aberdare) stated that he w;ts grod and kind and just, and hd was now able to state that he posses&ed those virtues in his official a< well a* his private j capacity. He {Lord Aberdarc) was, tlie/efoie,• glad to propose his health, with the hope that be would have a long and useful life. (Ap- plause.)

(A ppUnee.) ¡ Lord M ind-tor stated that Lord Abûrd. had proposed thit; toast in such a way tlr was difficult for him to say a few m response. It was the g. satisfaction to him that Lord AberCh. should baye propoaed his health in such kina, audi cci'uial teruw at such a gathering. C, He also thanketl the ladies and gentlemen for the kind way in which thev had received the toast. It had been the greatest pleasure to Lady Windsor and himseif to wel- come to St. Fajsran's such a representative- gathering of the county. He would now &s £ them to take a stroll through the grounds. The beautiful (pounds of the castle were then them to take a stroll through the grounds.

Far many years more mgooy had been expended in repairs and improvement^ on the estate by his grace than the inoanigpterivtsd from it. Il»e duke subscribed largely to ohuratoee. chapels, schools, and charities in the discriot, and no game wae ever sold; the rabbits were given to the cottagers, and tlie more ambi- tiow game waa distributed in the neighbour- hood. On the common land belonging to the. duke, occupiers of adjoining farms and cottages, but very few of the duke's tenants, turned stock to graze. The duke did not interfere with them, but he was very much aanoyed at the unfair manner with which the privilege was exercised. In one case a shopkeeper at I-lalkyn, who owned a house and shop and about five awes of land, turned many hundreds of sheep out, and for several years be had turned out bollocks as well, to the injury' of the cottagers and farmers. This shopkeeper was a. member of the county council. He ought not to turn out more than a cow aDd four or five sheep. 8evera.l teaants came forward with grievances. One of them, Mr Thomas Roberts, of Tyny- eaerau, Gwafinvsgor, stated that he occupied "a farm which formerly belonged- to Mr. Morgan, and was purchased by Mr. Pochin, who raised tlie rent to £ 60, and promised to make repairs. Witness faithfully paid his rent for eight years, but the landlord aid not do the repairs until the gable fell down. To Mr. Vincent: The witness said he had now had a new house.

The witness was asked by Mr. Vincent whether he was the Mr. Miargaa who stopped Mr. Hughe*, of Kinatud, from hunt?ng.

The weather was a trifle bazy, and, owing to the, traffic and Log in the Usk, she was uonaidiirably delayed. The steamer arrived at Clevedon about an hoar and a half late, took a number of passengers for Weston aad Qwdiff on board, and then proceeded to Wetrfon. Utere the Weston paesengere went home, aad their places on board the Brodick Castle were taJren by Cardifiians. Tlien the passengers were told that the tide was lost, and the vessel could not proceed that night, but «M>uld go on the rising of the tide. Naturally, some indignation was felt by the passengers, some of whom, having children witli them, being in a r&ther sorry plight. However, the ladies made them- selves as comfortable as possible in the saloon and dining cabin, and the gentlemen whiled away the time by singing on deck and on- the pier, whilst others sought the tele graph-office and the restaurant, the latter of which was kept open for the benefit of the belated pas- sengers. The bars on board the vessel were closed, and no refreshments could be obtained until about two o'clock in the morning, when I tiie steward prepared some tea, for which he charged 3d. per cup. It was stated that the officials of the boat were uncivil, and did Nothing for the passengers, but Mr. Edwards, of the firm of Messrs Edwards and Robertson, who was running the boat, etates that the captain reported that the comfort of the passengers was seen to. On. Friday morning the Westward Ho! and Lorna Doone left Bristol together for the pur- pose of running a^trip to Cardiff, and IlfracoBihe. Just outei'de Briatel the Westward Ho! anchored owing to the fop for nearly two hours, and then proceeded to TKra- coqjbe without touching at Clevodon or Cardie. arriving at Ilfraoombe about two hours late.

At NeR, At Newport Petty Sessions on Saturday two oolhers, father and son, named John Wallace, aged 45, and Joseph Wallace, aged 21, were charged on a warrant with assaulting Henry Coles and John Griffiths, labourers, at Risca, on Monday, August 7.7. Mr. T. Baker Jones appeared for the defence. The affray arose out of Griffiths having drank up the elder Wallace's beer in the Exchange Inn. Wanace collared Griffiths, and shook him in his Rtrong grip, whereupon Colee and a third man, named Mww Kendall, took sidec with Griffith*. The landlord of the bouse. William Hayes, at once cleared them out, aiid on the road outside the house a very warm ten minutee' bout took place. Griffiths had a blow7 in the eye which knoolPed him down, and lie was soon rendered insensible from other blotrs by the elder Wal- lace, who, however, aiso got a black eye. The younger Wallace took up a stone and struck Coles on the bead, inflicting a large wouna. Motes Kendall, who had taken up a stone, ran away.—The defence WM that Coles, Griffith*, and Kendall set upon the elder Wal- lace, who had to act in self-defence, and the younger Wallace used th., stone. to keep Coles atriet.—'The Bench, in the result, fined the Wallaoes 20B., aaid bound all the parties over to keep the ptaie for six months.

Robert Lewis. The. reel, in cbaige of Chief- engineer Geon, at once proceeded to ths scene of the outbreak. followed by the steam ire- enguie and hrigade, under the command of the head-constable, Mr. McKenrie. On MTrv. ing thi-1re it was found that a fierce fire wao raging in the cellar underneath the warehouse, sndthe hose from the reel was accordingly attached to a hydrant close by. The doors of the warehouse were then loroed open, and the, -fire having been located, a copious supply of water was poured on the buming mass through some holes in the shop-floor, and, after con- siderable difficulty, the flames were prevented frotn spreading to where a huge quantity of oil and turpentine was stored in oaøb and iron tanks.

Another demonstration and maus meeting of I ftilors, firemen, donk labourera, and others affeoted by the agitation for an incrime of wages at Cardiff aad the other Bristol Channel ports took place on Sunday at Cardiff. A pro cession, formed as on the previous Sunday iau front of the Shipping Office (Bute-place), and headed by the Mechanics' Baud, aad, carrvit^ banners, marched to the Cokmiai-haiQ, which wae again the place of meeting rod ccwded in evefy part. The organising secretary of the National Aanalgsunated Saikm and Firemen's. Untcm in Caadin (Mr. E. Cathery) occupied the chair, in the absence, through illheeu, of Mr. J. Gardner. -The Chairman, in opening the pro- oeediags, reviewed the struggle during the past week, and said a battle had rarely been fought in the a history of the Sailors' and Firemen's Union in which the men had stood irare loyaft together or obtained more OODL- plete success. DiH-mg the week 27 ships' cram had signed on at the increased' rate at Cardiff, seventeen at Newport and eight- at Barry; about JB900 a month haa been put into the pockets of the men, and no less than 1,267 men, had enrolled themselves in the Dmon hooks, and token up Union garde during the week. (Atpplaose.) They had no quarrel wiAk 4ba| federation, t>ut,heir wages having beenJ wdnoed to a atarvaiion potato. they asked furv a fair rate of pay. and when that was ceoognias*}': they desared to work in liarniojiy with the ship-1 owners.

The speiiker quoted Board of Trade returns, showing that the deaths through cafl^albiee at sea. were largely in excetw of deaths? tbrougii accidents OR shfve. and! aJleced that 50 per cent of the! loss of life at sea might be prevented by ] further legislation in the interests of the. seafaring community. Undermanning was the chief cause of the terrible logs or life, and he maintained that if a scale was drawn up—ap he had rea.al to believe it wouki be— defining the number of qualified men to be carried on every ship they would soon hear a. great deal less of these keses of life at sea. The Cardiff stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) had rendered signal service in the proseoutaons brought before him under the Overloading Act. He had administered the law as it had not been administered in other ports, making an example of those 1DNItem: who, througii overloading, risked their crews^ and the owners' money.—Mr. T.esHe Johnson# (editor of the "SeamenVi Chronicle"), in, a' vigorous speech, said seafaring men We worst paid elMS in the whole industrial 00m- mmiity. and with ?uch disgraoafatty low wstges their duty was chronic discontent. The remedy was combination and organisation^ and he urged them to maintain in Cardiff the position they had now so spiendidiy won. -The following resolution was then proposad and seconded, and carried unaninicrusly; — "Thast we. the .^sailors and firemen of the Bristol Ctiaraiii ports, in public meeting assembled, having heard the official report of the progress of the present agitation for. am increase of our wages to something approaching a living rate, beroby thank Mr. J. Haveloek Wilson, MP., and the Union for their vigorous and determined efforts on our behalf, and we pledge ourselves to stand loyalty by the resolution agreed upon at last Sunday's demonstration, demanding that we shall not be paid less than £ 4 for A.B.

As to viewing, there wat; an unpleasantbeas- about it, sometimes a risk, aaid there wsw absolutely no utility in the taek, which he should like to see done av-ny with alto- gether.—Inspector Allen ?aid that had he been at home lie should have summoned the jury to view the body earlier in the week, which the coroner said would h; ve been a most reasonable thing to do in the circum- stances.
