THE ST. FAG AN S JMUKDEK. I' SUPPOSED VVORK OF A LUNATIC. SUSPECTED MAN STILL AT i.ARCE. OPINION OF CORONERS JUKY. Intense excitement is the prevailing feature at Cardiff over the shocking coid-h!ooded murder perpetrated on Friday night ou the road to St Fugan's, when » carpenter named David Thomas, in tne employ of Lord WiDdsor, was shot down in Use darUness by an unknown person, who used a pin-fire pistel- With the theory that the foui deed was the revenge of a woman for soma real or fancied wrong is now current a rumour that an armed lunatic is at, large. It was hoped tUut at the inquee!. on the body aaase evidence would be fertbeoming which would throw li^ht: however, dim, upon the mystery surrounding the crime. The post- mortal examination certainly came as a surprise. It ktid been assumed up to Sunday night that oniv one bullet had taken effect, and that it had passed clean through the leouy; It now transpires that two bullet, entered the I back, and mreht curiously at the same spot, leaving only one orifice. One passed through almost horizontally, but .be other took a downward course, and lodged in the lower lobe of the leit lung. Either of these wounds would hare been fatal by itself, but aeath occurred more rapidly by there being two. The shooting at a cyclist on tno Newport- road ou Saturday night is 11.8 iiiexplicibia as the murder at Fairwater, and it is not impossible that an insane person is rcspen- sible for both the oui rages. The poliee have also discovered an oosolote p.iUara ot a revolver which the empty carmine fits, and they are etili hopeful that tins, their only ciue so far, will sooner or liter enable them to lav their hands on the inuraerer. The coroner's jury on Monday returned a verdict ot "Wilful murder agll.¡il.L some person or parsons unkllown.

The argument has been per- sistently advanced hero at Swansea that it is impossible to run tramways by an alternating current. The mayor, in soontioning the matter, has compared two tkings which are totally unlike each other. I am sure he did Ilot wish to mislead the public.

SUFFOCATED AT A LANDORE WORKS. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE ROD* IMPORTANT EVIDENCE. An adjourned inquest on the body of John Richards was held on Tuesday morning at the Compass Inn, Cwmbwrla, It will be remembered that Richards was suffocated J whilst cleaning a tube at the Swansea Hematite Works a few dajs ago, and the inquest was adjourned at th# requost ot Mi- inquest was adjourned at the requost ot Mr Augustus Lewis, her Majesty's Inspector of Factories. The company was now repre- sented by Mr Viner Leeder, Mr C. W. Stater appeared for the relatives of the deceased, and inspector Eynon was present on behalf of tho police. William Henry Mabbett, a rollerman stated that on the morning of the fatality Rictiards and himself were engaged in cleaning the tubes out. They started at 7 a.m., Richards proceeding to letch a ladder to take off the covers of the air-holes. Witness could not say whether they were taken off or not, but Richards remained on top of the tubes three minutes. Deceased instructed witness to go on with the work, and Pugsley, the foreman, who passed, said, "Mind you raise the covers off the airhole?." Deceased, JI1 answer, said, "Everything is all right." Witness and deceased were going up the ladder to go into tho tubes when deceased told witness to go back and pull out the slides. Deceased theu went into the tube to help witness and a man named Lewis pull the slide out. Witness afterwards wont up the j ladder to inform the deceased that they could not move the slide, and on looking into the tube saw Richards lying down. WitHess called him, but received no reply. lie tlion called to Lewis to come up, and himself wenL into tho tube. With the assistance of Lewis he got deceased out. In reply to Mr Augustus Lewis, witness said Pugsley lohl deceased to open the man- holes. Continuing, witness stated that in his opinion the opening of the damper would not have improved the ventilation. Whilst I he was in the tube getting Richards out he detected a smell of sulphur. Mr F. B. Last, manager of tho works, said when work was finished on the Saturday the furnaces were put out, and steam was forced through the tubes to clear away the gas- Witness thought it was safe to close the manholes on Sunday. This was done to prevent combustion of the remaining aoet. The gas that caused deceased's death could not have been there on the Sunday. In reply to Mr Viner Leeder, Mr Last said that as far as he Know Pugsley was a competent mac who had had many years experience. Thomas Pugsley, foreman of the gasfitters at the works, stated that deceased knew his work perfectly well, and up to this occasion had always done what he was told to do. Mab- bett, being a new hand, would look to Richards for instructions. On the Monday morning he told deceased and Mabbett to take all the eovers off. He then went away for a short time, and when he came baek he saw them carrying Richards out of the tube. After- wards witness found that only three covers out of eight had been removed, and they would not be sufficient to let out any gas which might have been in the tubes. If the manholo at the end of the main tube had been opened it would have allowed all the gas to escape from that part of tho tube. By Mr Augustus Lewis Witness went up I to the manhole 08 Sunday to see that the covers were oif, but iid not go up on Mon- day, thinking Richards and Mabbett would follow his instructions. Mr Lewiti: In what condition was deceased when he came in on Monday—was he sober ? Witness: He was in good condition, and perfectly sober. Continuing, witness said if ho were engaged in tube cleaning he would not go in with an empty stomach. Have you ever advised the men who are cleaning the tubes to take something before going in ? Witness: Not (sharply)- I can DOt feed them as well as look after them at their work Mr Viner Leeder: How long do you usually let the steam through ? Witness: On this day I let the ateami through about, three hours, whieh is longer than usual. Witness further stated, in reply to Mr Virer Leeder, that ho WAS away for ahout ten minutes, and kad the dec-cased curried out witness's instructions, he could uot have had time to go into the tubes before he came back. Elias Lewis, of 12, Rosebery-terrace, Plas marl, corroborated portions of the foregoing evidence. Questioned by Mr Lewis, witness said lie had boon 11 gabsed several times, and had seen dozens of men "gassed." He was awaro that tube cleaning was very dangereus, and was fully alive to the impor- tance of taking precautions beforo entering the tubes. He could see the gas in the tubes. At this stage Mr Viner Leeder stated that a ltJan named William Williams, who was near at, the time that deceased went to the 'manhole, had made a statement to him (Mr Leeder) which ought, in fairness to the I' fellow workmen of the deceased, to be given. Mr Slater objected. Mr Leeder, however, said that tbe jury might not take any notice of the statement, I but still he would like it made. j The Coroner intimated that Mr Leeder might give it, and the latter then said that t after Pugsley had warned the deceased I Williams also told him not to go into the tabes without taking off the covere. Dr. Bell Graham having given evidonco, the Coroner said that no doubt deceased had I no-Iected to take oil the covers. There was < no doubt deceased had been waraeci by the t foreman, and no blame was to be attached to < anyone except the deceased. He was, there- I fore, of the opinion that death was acci- < dental. < A Juror was putting questions to Pugaley, t but the Coroner interrupted him by saying they ought to have been put when Pugsley was giviug evidence. 4 VERDICT. J The jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict of accidental death- and aaded a rider to the effect that the foreman should II see in future that all of tho covers were opened.

A benefit. tea will be held to-morrow (Wed- nesday; at Penllergaer Sunday School Room in aid of the widow of the late Mr William Davies, MelinLlan. The ttekets are ls flach, and it is hoped that the event will be well patronised, seeing that the object is suen a laudable one. Daallol Hughes, of Martin-street, Morriston, whilst haymaking at Mr Jenkins' Mawr Farm on Monday, fell from the top of a load of hay and. alighting cu his head, severely injured himself. He was conveyed home in a cab and attended by Dr. Cullin. lie is suffering chifly from the shock.

The sufferer was attended by Dr Sibbering. and afterwards conveyed home. The Neath Flower and Dog Show will be held on Thursday next at Neath. Every effort has been made to make the show a success, and it is gratifying to know that the committee have been rewarded by a splendid lot of entries. As everything will be under cover they are, to some extent, independent of the weather. Tho band of the 1st G.R.V. has been specially engaged. At a meeting of the Sheep Dog Match ComMitteo held at the Fountain Hotel, Pontardulais, the lion, see. (Mr J.

Davies very kindlv otTered to drive the members of I tbe committee to and from Swansea gratis, Each member will have to pay his own beat ¡ fare and expenses at Urracfmbe. There is a good balance in hand which will be carried I on Intac. for next year's trials. A havrick b&loaginc to Mr Johns, of the firm of Walters and Johns, builders and contiactors. Morriston, was discovered to be on tire en Sunday night, and before Ihej ilames were extinguished damage to the extent )f £ 40 was done. The rick was! situated in a field just outside the borough boundiuy at Caemawr. The Morrislon police were informed of the occurrence at 2,30 a.m., and appliances, in eharge of Inspector Eynon and constables 57 and 73, proceeded to the scene, A standpipe and hose were fixed, but unfertulately, owing to the high level on which tie rick was standing, there was not sufRcieit pressure of water to serve the pur- poses el the brigade. The fire was ultimately extingu-shed at about 7.30 A.M. The pro- perty was not insured. The annual browster sessions for the boroof,ii of Swansea have been fixed to take place on the 3rd of September. Messrs Lambert and Bath, of the Port Tornant Copper Works, have purchased a locomotive to do their hauling to the Prince of Wales Dock. The Sidney Thomas, a large Swansea trader, is due 011 the 2Cth inst. with 3,000 tons of copper ore from Pod olleth. The members of the Swansea Corporation will visit the Cray Works on Friday. This is the outcome of a little plain speaking on the part of several of the weaibers at the recent special meeting. Mr Ted Huntby. the genial or^^nising secretary, has severed his connection with the National ( abourerb Union, the executive committee having decided upon a reduction of the sLaJI.

The eneeuraging prices offered for tin- t I, plates at the Birmiugh&m Quarterly Meeting s last week had a tendency towards making the v maik6t firmeron'Change this afternoon; Local j makers had evidently turned up with tha < serious intention of doiog business, but COlli- } paratiToly little business was done on 1 account of the absence of merchants and their representatives. The action of the! TiuplateiV Council in passing a resolution last Saturday to regain the 1874 list, of wages was discussed, and condemned u a, being premature. "Tbe present prices although thev are elightly iinproverl," said one prominent manufacturer, would noo permit el any claims for j increase of wages being seriously entertained by a Bingle aauufaeLurer al the present moment. The workmen and their leaders would do well to bide their time and wait until the market ha.!i regained more firmneBo," This opinion seemed to be a fairly faithful reflection of the view's held by other gentlemen. The annual meeting of the Exchange will be held at all early date, and members are looking forward with interefttto the address of the president (Sir John Jones I Jenkins, M.£. I
