THE CRAWFORD DIVORCE SUIT.
The folUtoing appeared in our Second Edition of Saturday last, J THE CRAWFORD DIVORCE SUIT. SEARIXG OF THE QUEEN'S PROCTORS CASE. SPEECH BY COUNSEL. SIR CHARLES DILKE IN THE WITNESS-BOX. t" CENTRAL NEWS TELEGRAM.J LONDON, FRIDAY. The Crawford divorce case came on icrre-heariog on the intervention of tiie Queen's Proctor, in the Divorce Division of the High Court of Justice this morning, before Sir J.IOK-S Hmnen and a special jury. The case wna the only one on the list, and the trial is expected to be a lengthy ooe. As on the last occasion, au intense desire was shown by 1111 sections of the pubhc to gain admis- sion to the court, and the officials had not alii tie trouble to provide accommodation for those whose duty necessitated their presence. Mr. Murphy. Q.C., had a watching brief in the cue; Mr. Lockwood, Q.C., appeared for Mrs. Crawford, the respondent, who, with her sister, was among the earlier arrivals. she had a. seat immediately in front of her counsel. Sir Charles entered the court at half-past ten and immediately afterwards Sir James Hanaen took ))is seat, and the jury were sworn. THE CASE FOR THE QUEEN'S PROCTOK. Mr. Bargrave DeaQe, in opening the case, said the Queen's Proctor intervened, alleging that the decree nisi had been obtained contrary t:) justice, by reason of material facts not being laid before the court. Sir Walter Phillimore then detailed at some length the history of the married life of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, and while he was so engaged too Attorney-General (Sir Henry James) entered the court. Sir Walter Phillimore spoka of the confession of the respondent to her husband that she had been guilty of adultery, Coming to the last trial, he explained the nature of the evidence on which the decree nisi was granted. The learned judge held that ther* was then no evidence against Sir Chas. Dilke, although Mrs. Crawford had been guilty of idultery. The Queen's Proctor thought it incum- bent to intervene, with a view to seeing if Mr. Crawford was entitled to a divorce, and if there was any evidence of adultery on the respondent's part. If they were of opinion that Mrs. Crawford had not been unfaithful with Sir Charles Dilke, or if tbey thought she had not been actually unfaith- ful, however impure her mind might be, then they must reverse the previous deci- sion, and leave it to the petitioner (Mr. Crawfordi, if he thought proper, to institute fresh proceedings witlI some other co-respondent. Sir Walter Phiilimore then dealt with Mrs. Craw- ford's confession to her husband that she had been guilty of adultery with Sir Charles, not only at his house in Sloane-street, but also at No. 65. Warren- street, Tottenham Court-road. The only corrobora- tion of the confession was that of two servants as to the fact that the respondent had been from her jonoe on certain nights, which she di i not spend, is she had told them, at her sister's. In regard to Captain Forstei's position in the case, the petitioner for a time suspected him, but the respondent denied any acts of misconduct with him. An examination of Mrs. Crawford's diary showed entries in pencil of Sir Charles Dilke's initials, as well as those of other persons, which would require explanations from her. The Queen's Proctor had made inquiries, with the result that he had been unable to substantiate her statement that certain servants must" have fully known of ber conduct. Those servants would be called and would deny that they had any reason to suspect misconduct, for they would state that Mrs. Craw- ford only called on Sir Charles in the usual visiting hours. Mrs. Crawford had stated that a woman named Sarah was In the habit of dressing her at Sir Charles's; but the servant bearing that name would swear it was an entirely untrue statement that she had ever dressed Mrs. Crawford, while she would be corroborated by another female servant, who would swear that it was impossible for the respondent to have been in Sir Charles's bedroom at the time mentioned without her knowledge. The woman Fanny, who had been mentioned as having been with Sir Charles at. the same time na tho respondent, was undoubtedly a woman named Fanny Grey, a niece ot tiio head servant Sarah Grey, and formerly in Sir Charles's employ. Kvidence would be given also to show that silo could not have been in Sir Charles's rooms at the time illeged. It had been intended to call her, but both the and her husband had disappeared. As to Sir Charles Dilke, he had been subpoenaed, and would give evidence denying on oath that he had ever committed adultery with Mrs. Crawford; and as to tho specific dates on which tho alleged adultery occurred, he would produce evidence, especially is regarded February 23, to show it was impossible ;or hils to have been at Warren-street; wllile as lo night dates, evidence would be given :0 show Mrs. Crawford "as not in his hou. By direction of his lordship, lrs. Crawford would ae called. She was, in one sense, a witness for her lusband, for she adhered to her statement against 3ir Charles. Through her lawyers she had fur- aished a statement adhering to her assertion as to the adultery in Warren-strpet. and she had further fixed the date of the second visit, there ns the 6th of May, 1832. Sir Charles would say lis could not have been thereon the second date. She 1),ld fixed the date of the pcond night he spent with Sir Charles as the 7th of Decprober, 1882, and, therefore, she had failed to account how she spent the night: immediately following, in which the alleged familiarities took place. It would be necessary to inquire into the handwriting of two letters referred to by Mr. Crawford. His last point was as to Mrs. Rogerson's connection with the case. Mrs. Crawford said she confessed everything to her, and upon her advice broke off her connection with Sir Charles. Mrs. Rogerson would come and admit having had a confession from Mrs. Crawford, but. 8be would deny that she had ever acted, as alleged, as a kind of intermediary between Sir Charles and the respondent. He proposed to have the short- hand notes of the evidence read over, and would then place Mrs. Crawford in the box. Sir James Hannen Oh, not that. That must be left entirely to me. Sir Walter Phiilimore said he did not propose to call Sir Charles till Mrs. Crawford had given her evidence, subject to his lordship. The Judge The issue rests entirely with the Queen's Proctor. He must lay such evidence >efore the court as he thinks will establish his case. THE EVIDKNCE AT THB LAST TRIAL. Mr. Bargrave Deane tnen read the evidence taken at the last trial, and some correspondence between Mr. Crawford's solicitor and Mrs. Crawford as to her placing her statement in writing. Some were put in at the last trial, and some were new. In one of the letters Mrs. Crawford said, she was horribly frightened nt the idea of Sir Charles Dilke fighting the case, as it would so complicate it. There was also a letter in which the solicitor warned the respondent that it was alleged to be a conspiracy on her part and that of others against Sir Charles, And that she would have to meet that suggestion. SIR CHARLES DILKF. IN THE WITNES3- HOX. Sir Charles Wentvrorth Diike was the first wit- ness called. He said his family and that of Mr. Eustace Smith had been acquainted since 1838, and his brother married one of them, dyirg in 1381, JeaYing a widow and some children, of whom he was guardian. Mrs. Cra wrford was a vounger lister of Mrs. ASHTON "Dilke. After his first wife's ieath his grandmother kept house for him till December, 188G, when hp. died, among the visitors being the younger children of Mr. Eustace Smith, who had the run of the A great-uncle of his was in the habit of visiting him vparlv, and in 1883 WAS staying in the ]¡OU"P.

At that time his GREAT uncle WAS =RSRH'G with him. There was a Lf'v"e that DAR, which H" ATTENDED. He WAS also preoent.

He dined at the Fiotisn of COMMONS that evening. On the 13tli of February, 1883, he attended a Cabinet meeting, and spoko at Kensington in the evening. NEITHER ON that, nieht, nor on the follow- ing did Mrs. Crawford come to his house and sleep. IT waa not true that Mrll. Crawford was in the habit, of going TO his HOUSE 1n the morning and passing tha time in his bedroom. She might have called at the house sometimes as an ordinary vishor. At this skagp theeoij»fc ndjonrnrd for luncheon, On the resumption after lunehenn, Sir Chavles pi lite continued his evidence, and lAid he was hardly ever at his own house after half- past eleven is the morning till night time. Sir Charles then gave evidence as to the internal arrangements of his house, the character of the furniture in the rooms, and the duties cf the ser- vants. Mrs. Crawford might have called on him on one or two mornings, but he nsver let hor in. It -was ? most amazing sutrment to say that he did so. Be never made an arrangement for her to meet him there. Sarah Grey was upper-houseiimid in his employ. He never instructed her to admit Mrs. Crawford or to dress her, for the respondent was never in the house under the Bircnmstancos stated Sarah had a sister Fanny, Vtao for a. very short tiuae was in his service- probably seven years ago. It was untrue that fanny was his mistress, or that, with Mrs. Craw- ford, she was in his bed. He did not know where •lie was now. she was married, bnt, having been married, she had disappeared, and her whereabouts ] could not be ascertained. Mrs. Rogerson was an old friend of his. He never told her of the alleged nIaûoa8 between Mra. Crawford and himself, nor: did he, in consequence, ask her to be kind to the respondent. He never recollected turning pale on meeting Mr. Crawford. On the day after the con- fession he met the petitioner, who, however, shook hands, and treated him as usual, and did not mention tbe confession. DENIAL OF THE ADULTERY. Have you ever committed adultery with Mrs. j Crawford:-Certainly not. ) EXAMINED BY PETITIONER'S COUNSEL. By Mr. Henry Matthews: He was at the trial before Mr. Justice Butt. He heard Mr. Crawford's evidence. Long before that he had heard details of the confession. He then believed Mrs. Craw- ford was in her sound mind, and he believed she made the confession in order to fix guilt upon a person agreed upon between her and others, as she was very near discovery. The others were the authors of the anonymous letters. He did not know who it was. He also thought Captain Forster was a party to getting up that story against him. At the rime of the iate trial he thought it was a deliberate conspiracy to deceive the court. Mrs. Crawford bad confessed to other people she hail com- mitted adultery with several people. The reasons his counsel assigned for not putting him into the box were not based on his instructions. He fully expected to be called, and up to the last his advisers were not agreed among themselves. He acted on the advice of his counsel. It was true there were acts in his life which he did not wish to be questioned on then. They came to an end eleven years ago. H", thought Mrs. Crawford's story so extraordinary as to carry refutation on the face of it. H,) lirst heard of the confession from Mrs. Kcgerson, but the details told him differed from those before the court. Two morn- ings later he went to Mrs. Ashton Dilke's, where he saw Mrs. Crawford. He did not urge on Mrs. Ashton Dilke that Mrs. Crawford should consent to a separation, quietly effected. He did not offer anything towards Mrs. Crawford's income. He was very angry at the foul charges. He could remember asking fur a written retraction. He had no retraction on paper in his hand. He did not tell her if she did not retract he would accuse her with other men. No doubt he threatened her with some sort of action. At that time he believed the conspiracy was existing. He did not ask Mrs. Crawford to sign a statement that she was hysterical. She might have promised that she would not go to Mr. Crawford's solicitor. She was despondent, and talked about jumping off a bridge. He did not hear from anybody of any anonymous letter making a charge against him of any misconduct with any lady. He heard of many anonymous letters about himself. Mrd. Rogerson did nor, tell him, You see your sin has found you out." Mrs. Rogerson, in the strongest, terms, would deny that. He had received many anonymous letters himself. He could not ascribe their authorship to anyone. He had seen a statement by Sarah Grey communi- cated to the Queen's Proctor. At frequent inter- vals from 1353 till 1870 she assisted her sister as his father's servant; and in 1875 she was in his service for a short time. Since her sister's death she had had £-+0 a year. He had not made her presents in addition. He never took any lady to 65, Warren-street. He had no recollection of ever having seen the back room occupied by Midnme Soulary. It was absolutely untrue that he had been there scores úf times with ladies. He did not remember a family named Heliier living in the parlour. Since tho commencement of the case he had heard that Fanny had lived there. He had never had in those years a mistress called Fanny. He had been told there was some mystery about where Fanny had been living in 1883 and 1884.. She disappeared about the last trial. Before that she was sent by his solicitor to his shooting box in Essex, as she had been attacked by detec- tives. She turned up after the trial, made a state- ment to his solicitors, and then disappeared again. Every week-day he fenced before breakfast, which he invariably had at eleven. He never went out before 11.30. and seldom later, except, on Saturdavs. He had no individual recollection of the 23rd of February as to where he went, but he well remembered his work wa unusually heavy that day. He had nothing in writing to show at what hour he reached the Foreign Office that day. He had no special recollection of Mrs. Crawford before her marriage. He did not think sho had ever come to his house by appointment. He had never told his footman to clean the windows, as a lady W:18 coming to see tue 110U!!9- that lady being Mrs. Crawford. In those vears there was never a Indy in his bedroom between eleven and twelve in the morning. He was in London on the 6th of May, 1882. Ho went to Mr. Earl's to luncheon irnmediatelvon leaving home. He hnd an engagement to meet his present wife at Mr. Earl's that day. It was the day of the Phoenix Park murder. If an engagement entered in his diary was not- kept he would cut out tho entry from his diary with a knifo or, perhaps, strike if. through with a pencil. On tho 7th of December, 1882, ha was in London, He had a meeting with Sir W. liarcourt that dilY. He did not take Mrs. Crawford home with hitn that even- ing. He looked on Mrs. Crawford as a member of his family, and when he spoke of her to her hus. band lie mentioned her by her Christian name. He thought Mrs. Crawford's object in calling on him was to induce him to secure a permanent position for her husband in any Scotch Govern* ment system. lie did not remember ever having written to Mrs. Crawford, He ft personal interview with Captain Forster lust year. Captain Forster was angry with hini for, as ha alleged, sending letters to tha War Office about him in order to blast his reputation. He challenged wit- ness to tight him. Witness treated the affair aa utterly ridiculous. He might have suggested that if he did not break olT his intrigue with Mre, Crawford it might injure his prospects, At this point the court adjourned till to-morrow (Saturday).
AMERICAN IRISH AND THE GENERAL…
AMERICAN IRISH AND THE GENERAL ELECTION. THROWING OFF THE MASK 1 The New York correspondent of the Standard, telegraphing on Thursday night. says :-Com- menting upon the result of the English elections the Irish World says :— We are for peaceable methods so long as the English do not resort to other methods in Ireland. If they should attempt coercion, we have no doubt Ireland will know how to meet them and it. Mean. whiie the hint conveyed by Mr. Gladstone in his reninrk riiaf IV) hritish legislation is po"il>h until the Iri?h question is settled should be acted upon. With 85 hish supporters, and perhaps some English support, Mr. Pennell can verify Mr. Glad- stone's warning. H can prevent the English masses whose votes have just been cast for oppres- sion in Ireland from having any one of the legisla- tive reforms thev so much need He can make the English working man feel upon his own back the j lash of aristocratic rule, without having a single act of legislation for his benefit. He can stop the machinery of the House of Commons; and make that Assembly the laughing-stock of the world." RUSSA AND MR. GLADSTONE. The J]''e<o Fork World publishes the following:— "St. Louis, July Rossa held forth at a Fenian pic-nic to-day in his characteristic style. He addressed his hearers as countrymen and Irishmen, and, after saying a few words in the Irish language, said:—' It seems that trickery has again triumphed over right. The brave men who are the only true advocates of Ireland's freedom are under foot, but they will not be always so. Ireland will be free, and in our time; but her free- dom will never be gained by an Englishman or by English iegisiation. It is the same old story. How many times are we to be fooled by this Home Rule business and by these Englishmen? Ireland has other friends that will help her. We do not want, nor do we expect, any Englishman to free Ireland. They have always been treacherous to Ireland. I say to you, one and all. den t put any faith or truilt in either Gladstone or the English Govern- ment. It is worse than foolish to do so. He is paid hv England to throttle you, and that is what he iJ doing. What has Gladstone done during his service in Parliament? He has coerced and im- prisonnu cur citizens without number: What have the Land Leaguers done? They have col- lected millions of American money, bus that won't buy Iripii liberty. They are ail good men, and I have nothing to say against them; but their work is not in the right direction. Now, Gladstone pt-npnapg to fron Ireland without striking a blow. riUvoa am not usually freed so easily; fteware of these cheap saviour* Mr. Rosea continues in this strain for some time, closing ns follows I believe, in fnct I know, that f could get 100 men from every barony of Ireland, nrrl as many more from every branch of this (Fenian Brotherhood) Order in America, who would go into the capital of the British Empire, and touch the torch to the grand architectural piles of th.¡t ar.cion t city of slavery—go from palace to pf.tocp, and from hotels to prisons and public buildings, and apply the torch till London would be a blnze of light, a monument of flame to Irish slavery. Americans would d.o it. They would respond to the call. 1 sny to you again that Irish freedom can bn gained only through tho efforts of the most heroic men of the age. Now you know my position in the cause of Ireland.' The speaker was enthusiastically applauded. MR. PARNELLTS UEPUDIATION. THE OTHER SIDE. Mr. H. O. Arnold Forster, son of tha late Mr. Wi E. Forster,- Chief Secretary for Ireland, sends j the following lettpr to the IHnu* in reference to Mr. Pamell's recently issued manifesto. Ha fays:— The proper appreciation of Parnellite denials is somewhat difficult for the general public. It takes some time to realise that in respect of the greater part of such literature there is no neccessary con- nection whatever between categorical assertion land actual fact. I have boen a cioso student of the subject, and I have long pawed the stage of regarding the statements put forward to pacify Knglish readers as giving even an indication of the truth. I was under the-gallery of the House of Com- mons when Mr, Parne! with much violence and display, disavowed any responsibility for certain brutal and shameful paragraphs which had appeared in his paper. I neard him declare positively that ho was in prison at the time when those paragraphs appeared. I had the further satisfaction half an hour later of referring to the file of United Ireland and proving to deinonstra- tion that the aWn set up wa3 a pure invention, and that Mr. Parnell was not in prison at the time when those foul incitements to crime appeared in his journal. A few weeks ago I read in your columns how the Parnellites, witb the usual parade of manufactured indignation, directly charged a member of the House of Commons with falsehood for asserting that their party was supported by the dynamiter Ford. I have in my possession a copy of the letter written in Mr. Purnell's behalf by his secretary to Dear Mr. Ford," in which dates and items of Ford's payments to the Parnellites are set out. I know, as does Mr. Parnell, on which side the false- hood lies. These are oniy two instances out of scores which might be adduced. Of course it is hard, with our English notions of the way in which political controversy should be conducted, to fully grasp the idea that a statement may be made in public by responsible persons which is not only misleading, but is a pure invention, made up to meet in the most effectual manner any charge which seems likely to damage the cause of those who undertake to reply to it. But it is not until this very natural and very commendable bias has been entirely removed by a study of facts that any comprehension of the real nature of Par- nellite controversy can be arrived at. With this preface, let me say a word with regard to Mr. Parnell's gracefully-expressed manifesto appearing in the Times of the 14th instant. I Lord Hartinton says that it cannot be denied with truth that, between Mr. Parnell and the leaders of the Irish party and the leaders of the Fenian organisations of America and Ireland, there I exists, and has existed through the Land League and through the National League, means of com- munication which practically unite the whole movement into one bod). Lord Hartington says these facts cannot be denied with truth; which is, indeed, beyond dispute. But they can be denied, and Mr. Parnell denies them. First, there is the usual flourish about "reckless statements, "fraudulent devices," "absolute falsehood," and the rest of it. Those who are acquainted with previous denials of the same kind will recognise in these phrases the ordinary common forms of Parneiiite literature; they mean nothing at all. Then follows assertion number one:—"I know nothing whatever, further than what can be gained by reading the newspapers, of the Fenian organisations or their leaders in either Ireland or America." Mr. Parnell's power of touch- ing pitch without being defiled is, indeed, little short of miraculous. Some time ago be told us he knew less of the Irish World and its editor than of any other paper or editor in existence, and yet he had been living for two years on the payments made by that journal, and had been in close and friendly correspondence with that editor. Now he telis us that he knows nothing of the Fenian leaders. This is odd certainly. About half of his colleagues and confidants were Fenians. He re- ceived his pay from a Fenian; on every possible occasion when profit could be made out of it he accepted the services of Fenians. Truly Mr. Parnell has learnt, to his great advan- tage, to what an extent the British public can be gulled by sheer mis-statements of facts; but I think he will find that the point has at last been reached when mere point-blank denials of well- known facts are no longer of even temporary service. As to the reception which this ridiculous proclamation is likely to meet. at the hands of Mr. Parnell's runaway confederates, of "Dear Mr. Ford," and of other allies across the water, that is a matter which, no doubt, Mr. Parnell has con- sidered. Unless I am very much mistaken, it will hardly be a favourable reception. It is said that before the election Mr. Parnell declared his intention of retiring from public life whatever the event might be. I think that there is a very strong probability that he wiil do so. Mr. Parnell informs us that he has always endeavoured to keep the movement of the National League within the strictest bounds of legality. It is to be regretted that his efforts have not mat with better success. Perhaps, from the promoter of the no-rent manifesto, the lawless author of the decree condemning honest men to "the severest sentence of social ostracism" if they refused obedience to an illegal proclamtion, from the col- league of Mr. Sheridan (while it paid), the superior officer of Mr. Byrne (while It paid), exhortations against law-breaking may come without much weight. I confess I do not know when the exhortations have, in fact, ever been made. After all, it is not Mr. Parnell's connection with Fenianisno which is the most serious charge against him. It is bad enough, no doubt,, but the whole total of Fenian outrages for three generations does not approach the infamy of a single jear of the Land League work, executed under the auspices of the committee ot which Mr. Parnell and Mr. Sheridan were the leading members. Mr. Parnell has destroyed or made away with the records of that committee, and, no doubt, hopes that by diverting attention to the Fenian branch of his organisation he can blot out the remembrance of the Land League from men's minds. A natural hope, no doubt, but one which, as long as any member of the Land League Executive Committee is tolerated in English political life, I, at any rate, will do my best to frustrate.
THE BELFAST RIOTS,
THE BELFAST RIOTS, FUNERALS OF THE VICTIMS. BELFAST, THUUSDAY EVENING. Belfast continued in a tranquil state to-day, but bodies of police arc still pontod in tho disturbed districts, and the military aro confined to thoir quarters, so as to be in readiness if their services are required. Those who were wounded are pro- gressing favourably. An address to the Nationalists of Belmat. telegraphed from Dublin by Mr Sexton, M.P., has been extensively posted, espe- cially in the distriot now represented by Mr, SetQn, He urges the NatiQnaliste by no act or word to excite bad feeling, and to remain as much a pos- sible wi'.lnn their own homes, especially after nightfall. LA us. To-night the town is still quiet, And will, apparently, remain so for the present. The police are out in large bodies armed with rifles. The military are on duty in their several quarters. The inquest on Qead»Constable Gardner, who received a fatal allot in the riot, was opened this evening. The Inquiry was pro- tracted, and up to ten o'clock the jury had not come to a verdict. For the shooting ol this officer John Walker is in custody, and in connection therewith Private Hughes, of the West Surrey Regiment, lost his life, and for his murder Joseph Walker was arrested. MIDNIGHT. The jury on Head-Constable Gardner, after having been locked up for five hours, were discnarat-d. Another jury will be sworn to.morrow..the weather is inclement, and the town is likely to continue quiet. The funerals of Private Hughes and the civilian Watterson, who were shot in the Belfast riots, took place on Friday. The remains of Head-Constable Gardner, the third victim, were removed from the Royal Hospital, and conveyed by train to Waterford. The procession to the railway station comprised a large detachment of the Highland Light Infantry, West Sussex Regimentand constabulary, and the band and fifers of the Highland Regiment. All passed off peaceably, and the town continues perfectly quiet. At the inquest on Friday on Head-Constable Gardner the jury found that bis death was caused by a wound deliberately inflicted by John Walker, who is in custody charged with murder. United Ireland says:— Mr: Morley's difficulty is his magistrates. If a firm man devoid of preju- dices and determined to do his duty had charge of the troops in Belfast, his first act would be to clap every Orange magistrate into gaol, and order the police and soldiery to clear the streets after their own fashion. Mr. Morley is a student of the French Revolution, and knows what rivers of innocent blood might have been saved by a prompt resort to Broglie's whiff of grapeshot." The inssacre was deliberately got up for the political purposes of the anti-Gladstone combina- tion.
A STRANGE POISONING CASE.
A STRANGE POISONING CASE. ANXIOUS FOR A FRESH HUSBAND. VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER. The magisterial investigation into what is known as the Ashton poisoning case was concluded at Stalybridge on Wednesday, after extending over a week. The prisoners—Mary Ann Britland and Thomas Dixon—were accused of having caused the death of three persons by ad- ministering poison. Evidence was given that Dixon's wife and Britland's husband and daughter died within a short time, after a brief illness. All displayed symptoms of poisoning. The bodies were exhumed and subjected to analysis, and were found to contain strychnine. It was proved that the female prisoner had made several purchases of Vermin Killer," one of the ingredients of which is strychnine. The theory of the prosecution was that Dixon's wife and Britland's husband had been removed to make way for a union between the prisoners. The magistrates discharged Dixon and committed the female prisoner for trial on the capital charge. The coroner's inquest was also concluded on Wednesday, the jury returning a verdict of "Wilful murder" against Mrs. Brit- land.

THE SERIOUS CH AUG IS AGAINST A GENTLEMAN. DEFENDANT MISSING. Tha gentleman against whom" charge of inde- cently assaulting » youth had been brought failed to appear on r"mAtld at the Moclborough-street Police-court on Thursday morning.—Mr. Lewis, who was for the defence, said that his client had been in a despondent state of mind, had wandered away from his lodgings, and had not returned.— Mr. Poland, who prosecuted, observed that since thefirst occasion the matter had been put into the hands of the Director of Public Prosecutions, who had instructed him to attend the court. He must ask that tho bail of £1,0,:0, as well as the defen- dant's own recognisances in £1,000, should be estreated, and that a wairant should be issued for his apprehension, when everything would be done to effect his arrest.—Mr. Mansfield, the stipen- diary, said that was the only course to adopt.

I A TROUBLESOME TRIBE OF GIPSIES AT LIVERPOOL. Ninety Greek gipsies, from London, arrived at the Midland Station, Liverpool, on Wednesday, and gave great trouble to the local and railway authorities. The colony are in a filthy condition, and the railway officials were compelled to allow them to remain in the central station till Thurs- day evening, when. escorted by policemen, they found quarters in a field outside the city, pending their departure for America by one of the cargo boats next Saturday. The king of the tribe has about £10 per head to pay expenses, and the rail- way company declined the offer of threepence per head to allow them to sleep in the station.

CARDIFF GAS-LIGHT AND COKE…
CARDIFF GAS-LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY. EXTENSION OF WORKS. INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS. On Tuesday morning the directors of the Cardiff Gas Company assembled at the Grangetown Gas- works for the purposo of laying the founda- tion of a new gaa-hotder. Amongst those present were:—Mr. C. H. Williams, Ore. Paine r.nd Taylor, Messrs. R. E. Spencer, G. Phillips, G. C, Williams, Ellis (of the firm of Lucas and Aird, of London), Dowell, H. Morley (engineer to tho Cardiff Gas Company), and G. Clarry (secretary to the company). The rapidly-growing requirements of the town and district of Cardiff necessitated the erection of the tank of which the foundation was laid on Tuesday. The tank in question is 152ft. 6in. in diameter from face to face of wull, and has a total depth of 32ft. Sin. The work was commenced in May last by sinking a well, or "sump" to a depth of 6ft. below the lowest portion of tho tank, or 46tt. below the surface of the ground. Into this sump has been placed a pair of 15in. rocker pumps, driven by a 16 horao-power engine, which has been working and night for the last six weeks, and lifts about 30,000 gallons of water pur hour. In this way ull the water is drawn from the ground within tha tank limits, which, would otherwWo interfere with tha progress of the wurka. A circular trench has been excavated, of 110 average width of 13ft. and a depth of 32ft. Gin. At the bottom of this trench will be placed a layer of clay puddle, 18in. thick, upoo which is laid, tranavcttioty, elm planking, 4in. ihick, and on this tho wall, which is built of brickwork with Aberthaw lime mortar, is commenced. In the wall, at equal distances, are built sixteen counter- foils or piers, on which the gasholder columns rest. There aro also sixteen smaller or strengthen- ing piers. The large piers are 6ft. 6in. square,and the smaller 5ft. 8in. by 3ft. 9in. The main wall between these piers is 3ft. 9in. thick at thu bottom, and reduces to 2ft. 3in. at the top, the whole being coped by best Forest of Dean stone. When finished this wall must have a perfectly vertical faco to ensure the satisfactory travelling of the ironwork which is subsequently fixed within the tank. This is no easy matter to attain when the enormous weight at the back of the wall, without for some time any counteracting weight or stay in the front, is taken into account. The wall having been com- pleted, the earthwork inside the tank is taken out, after which a layer of clay puddle 18in. thick is laid over the whole surface. This is covered by cement concrete 6in. thick, which forms the floor of tha tank. In addition to the puddle under the wall and on the floor, inside it also extends up the back of the wall to its full height, ttie tank being, therefore, entirely enveloped in puddle, so rendering it water-tight from within and without,. The gas is convoyed iu and out of the holder by means of 24-inch. iron pipes, which pass through the wall- at the bottom and rise on the ineide to th < coping level, or about 6in. above the surface wf tiie water, which will fill the tank on the compiouon of the ironwork. A large quantity of steam power is now being used in carrying out the work, including locomotive cranes, pumpa, &0. The whole of the work has been designed and carried out under the super- vision of Mr, H. Morley, tho company's engineer, the contractors being tho well- known firm of Messrs. and Aird, who have obtained the contract for the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal at a cost of 61 millions. Their representative and manager in Cardiff is Mr. C. S. Dowell, It may he interesting to know that nearly two miles of 24in. diameter iron pipes for a further supply of gas into the town is being laid. The directors were conducted round the works by Mr. Morley, and afterwards adjourned to the gas-holder which is in course of construction. Mr. Ellis having presented Mr. C. H. Williams, chairman of the company, with a silver trowel, that gentleman laid the first brick of the gas- holder. Several other gentlemen added others, and a hearty round of cheering was given at the con- clusion of the ceremony. Mr. J. Long, photo- grapher, Crockherbtown, afterwards photographed the directors, and tho interesting proceedings ter- minated. On Tuesday the first brick was laid of the new tank to be erected for the Cardiff Gas-Light and Coke Works at Grangetown. The contractors are Messrs. John Aird and Sons, of London, and the work is under tho personal superintendence of Mr. C. S. Dowell. The tank, when com- pleted, will be the largest of all, and will be 152ft. 6in. in diameter and 36ft. deep. The whole of tho extensive timber work is in tho hands of Messrs. Alexanders and Co. and Messrs. Davies, Thomas, and Co., of Cardiff and Neath, In commemoration of this event Mr. Dowell invited the heads of departments at the works, together with sojje of the officials of the Gas Works, to a diuner at the Plymouth Hotel, Grangetown, where a very enjoyable evening wr.15 spent, under the presidency of Mr. Dowell. "The Health of Messrs, John Aird and Sons was proposed by Mr. Piosser and seconded by Mr, J. Siuney Bird, and received with acclaraatiou.
THOMPSON AND SHACKELL (LIMITED).
THOMPSON AND SHACKELL (LIMITED). A NEW CARDIFF LIMITED COMPANY, A few days ago wn announced that the well-known firm of Messrs. Thompson and Shackell, who for many yeura past have carried on business in Cardiff, Swansea, Nowport, Mcrthyr, Gloucester, and other places as pianoforte, organ, and harmonium dealers, had, in consequence of the great development of the business and tho intended retirement cf the senior partner (Mr Thompson), decided uoon forming the con- cern into a limited liability company. The list of applications for shares will close on the 26th instant, both for town and country, and wo take this opportunity of informing intending investors that so great a degree of confidence has been manifested in the undertaking that the greater portion of the capital has already been subscribed. An indi- cation of the widespread reputation of this firm is to be found in tbe fact that the greater number of the applications for shares have emanated from other large towns, and that as much as £3.000 has already been subscribed from the Metropolis. No better guarantee of tbe soundness of the under- taking could be given than the circumstance that so cautious and prudent a nmn as the Mayor of Cardiff has consented to occupy the position of chairman of the directors, whilst upon the direc- torate are several other well-known and influential business men of the town. The business during the past three years, according to the auditors' annual certified statement of accounts, shows a net profit of over 17 k per cent. on the capital em- ployed, and the directors, having carefully ex- amined the books, feel confident that this can be fully maintained. These certificates have not been prepared with any view to the formation of this company, but are the results of the annual audits which have been conducted from time to time by independent accountants with a view to the divi- sion of the profits between the partners, and have been personally verified by the directors. One of the most satisfactory features in connec- tion with the new company is the proposal to add a new department for the manufacture of pipe organs, suitable for the requirements of churches and chapels, there being at present no important manufactory of this class of instrument in South Wales, where there is a great and increasing demand for these instruments. This branch alone will afford employment for a large number of men—a boon that cannot be too highly estimated in the present depressed condition of trade.
CARDIFF BOAHD OF GUARDIANS
CARDIFF BOAHD OF GUARDIANS THE AFFAIRS OF MR. WRIDE. The usual weekly meeting of the Cardiff Guardians was he!d on Saturday at the Union offices, Dr. Paine presiding. The following letter was read by the CLERK in refrence to the irregularities in the collection of the rates for Sr. n»r?9b; — CARDIFF, July 16th, 1S3G.

BURROW AND JAMES PRICK, Overseers for St. Mary's Par,ah. Tit" CURft then said that he had already received £1.000 from tho Guarantee Society, and Mr. Wride had been ordered to pay the balance within seven days, or the Government, auditor would take pro- ceedings against him. « The CHAIRMAN, responding to a question by a member, said that until they heard from the Local Government Board they were powerless to act. The collector had baen suspended and a special audit of his accounts ordered. After the audit the authorities would either call upon Mr. Wride to resign, relieve him from further suspension, or dis- miss him summarily, and until one of these courses had been taken the guardians could not acr. The matter then dropped, and no other business of public interest was transacted.
SHOCKING STABBING AFFRAY BETWEEN…
SHOCKING STABBING AFFRAY BETWEEN HARVESTMEN. The very serious affrays between English and Irish haivcstmen which disgraced Cheshire last year have broken out again with unbridled ferocity. From what can be gathered at present, it appears that four harvestmen from County Sligo, named Lawrence Gibling, Michael James, and Henry and Dennis Farrell, employed on the Yew Tree Farm, Norton, between Chester and Runcorn, were on the road near Hnlton, when they met Richard Moores, an English harvestman. Moores, whose statement has been taken, alleges that the Irishmen attacked him, knocking him down and kicking him about the road. B cried Cor help, when two companions, named Powell and Barker, ran up. The Irishmen drew their knives and stabbed Barker in the thigh, and beat and kicked both Powell and Barker. The latter was left on the field insensible; and on Tuesday Dr. Carruthers informed the county magistrates that he had sustained no less than eight wounds, inflicted apparently with a knife. He is now under medical treatment. The Cheshire police at once arrested the Irishmen, and they have been remanded until Moores and the other English harvestmen are able to appear.

CRICKET,
CRICKET, ENGLAND V. AUSTRALIA; By a quarter past three on Wednesday England had won har second match against Australia, this year far more easily than the tirst. All the ten Australian wickets were down for 12O runs, only 5 in advance of the tirst innings, thus the home eleven won in one innings, and by I06 runs. Shrewsbury's wonderful batting on the first and second days, and Briggs not less wondertul bowling Jn the two Australians innings, are the explanation of this in a large measure. The little Lancashire mau took In all eleven wickets for leas than seven runs apiece. 'Ih" excellent fielding of England, the judicious captaining of Mr. Steel, AND the good batting of five other members of the eleven besites Shrewsbury also contributed TU tho victory. Oniy Palmer in Llii second innings to-day showed any very good form. His was a plucky attempt to atilve off defeat, but wilcn Briggs had clean bowled the two best hats-Jones and Scort-before 100 was up the mateh was practically over.

TRADE REPORTS.
TRADE REPORTS. CARDIFF. Saturday, Though the shipments of coal from Cardiff have nearly returned to their normal condition, amounting during the past week to nearly 140,000 tons, the output even yet is not nearly sufficient to keep the collieries in anything like proper work. There is not the slightest improvement to note in prices, which, for best Khondda, has ranged from 8s 6d to 8s 9d, and for inferior sorts, from 7s 6d to 7s 9d, Small coal is still in strong demand at iast week's prices. HousH coal, considering the season, is in fairly good demand, but the price remains unchanged. best Rhondda No. 3 being quoted at 8s 6d. It is gratifying to note that the patent fuel trade has returned to something like its average state of activity, over 4,000 tons having been shipped during the week. The pitwood market is weak, there being few buyers at 15S 6d, v hich was the latest quotation, and another drop is Imminent. The manu- factured iron trade is in a very depressed condition, and few sales were effected during the week. The iron ore trade is also exceptionally dull, Rubio ore only realising 9s 7td to 93 9d. In the freight market the latest tran- sactions have been :-Barcelona, 12s 6d: Alexandria, 9s Port Said, 9S 3d; Ancona, lis L|D Palermo 7s 6d; Marseilles, 10fr. SWANSEA, Saturday Night.—Although trade In the ea,ly part of the week WAS quiet, latterly there was more doing, the result on the whole showing further improve- ment as compared with a fortnight back. This is owing in a measure to a better suppiy of tonnage being at the disposal of shippers. In regard to shipments of coal, it may bo remarked that for many weeks past those for France have been largely below the average. As a set- off it i3 sat isfactorv to note tliat exports of patent fuel maintain a good weekly average, and as its manufacture entails more labour than the coal trade, it is of necessity more profitable to the community at large. The coal shipments amount to 23,132 tons, and patent fllel7,-b2 tons. There have also b(en shipped 50 tons copper, 315 tons chemicals, and 1,720 tons sundries coastwise 240 tons general for France, 15 tons tin-plates for Portugal, and 3,200 tons tin-plates for Philadelphia and Baltimore. The number of buxes- of tin-plates shipped have been 40,125; received into warehouses from the works, 35,459; and stocks to-day in vans and warehouses amount to 110,250 boxes, compared with 107,220 boxes this dav week. For some days following the quarterly meeting the tin-plate trade was very quiet; there was quite a dearth of orders, and the few offering were at lower tigures than those offered on quarter day, which, if accepted, meant going backwards instead of forwards. At the close of the week, however, inquiries were very much increased,and some business resulted by a compromise, 011 the give-and- take principle, between buyers and sellers, and probably now that a start has been made business will proceed more actively. The bulk of the business doing is in Bessemer ste, and cokes, the former afc 13S. 6d. to 13s. 9D. IC, the latter at 13s 4§d to 13S 7 £ D IC. Siemens steels, for which there is a fair demand, are still as low as 14s IC. Tin is easier in price, being down toCIOO. The total imports for the week amount to 11,877 tons. including 1.050 tons pig iron, 246 tons tiii plttes, 101 tons copper ore, 350 tons flour and grain, &c., coastwise; 131 tons potatoes, 114 tons zinc ashes from France; Huelva 1,106 tons copper matte and 12 tons copper precipitate; Pomaron, 372tons manganese ore; La Calle, 2,070 tons residue lead ore, and 100 tons blende ore Canada, 1,227 loads dea's, &U.; Tucacas, 1,987 tons copper ore and Navassa, 339 toua phosphate rock.

It is noteworthy that these prices have been obtained for three or four months. Stocks are less, the output is greater, and deliveries are larger both by rail and by o t. Steel makers are well employed In the prinolpal brunches of their trade. Shlpbuildars still have a very poor outlook, and have but little work In hand. LIVKBPOOL METAL MAKKKTS. Fridey.-The demand for tin-plates may be tsitid to be kept up fairly well on the whole, and the business is now getting into the steady, though quiet, groove. There is not much to be said as regards improved prices, as things were flat and dull enough at the Birmingham Quarterly meeting held last week. For a couple of days after quarter day things became quieter here. but most people seemed more disposed for business duringthe last few days, and orders are coming forward a little more briskly. The reason for this Is chirfly to be sought for in the birge reduction of stocks which has taken place iu this country. The shipments for last month (June) were unusually heavy, being 801,000 boxes-this is an inorease of 270,000 boxes on the ship- ments in June, 1885, and more than double (411,000 boxes) what was shipped June, 1884. All these ilgurcs are very satisfactory, but the figures showing the values are from satisfactory. Nor nre tho prices now obtainable anything like what could be roatonably expectod, considering the very high price till has got to, Most of the business done this week has been in coke tins and Uassemer steel cokes at from 13s all too 13G 9J 10 for the ordinary kinds or general run of brands, There is aso a little doing In SiemenS tin-plates with ooke finish at 14s, 14s LID, and 14-3410. The inquiry for terijo-Iiiates has beooma quiet AG^LN, and there are but few orders offering, AND the eallip must be SAID about charcoal tin-plates. The prices for these are being maintained pretty firmly, though, Tbe exports of TIN and terne-plates for the half-year just ulpsed total up to nearly 4,000,000 (3,822,000 boxes), bsinj5 an increase of about 600,000 boxos oil the previous hait-ypaft allq 730,OQO boxtss on the half-year NREVICHIS to last one, viz., 1684.

DOBI.HT DISTRICT IRON AND COAI, TRACES,—The best brands of shoe liar-i have been inquired ftir in larger quantities all Australian account, and the demand in this section is fairly good for the hum a markets.

Large sizes, for engineering work, &o., shew no material linprovefhent. The DEMAND for chain and cable iron koeps very quiet, and makers of nail and wire rods are very otiol-t of orders. The best brands of tlllliheetJlI and plates continue TO find a ready sale. The export demand in this branch is quieter than usual. The leading fender makers In the district are able to work nearly full time, and in one or two instances there is rather more being done by makers of a commoner article. The vice and anvil trade is very quiet. The pig iron market is a little more active, and consignments of cru-le metal,-on account of new contracts, are proceeding. Prices rprige fnr all-mine, hot-air pig iron from 22 12S. 6d. to £ 2 15s, per ton. The coal trade is weak. MIDDLUSBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The iron trade has been very quiet, and prices are lower on the week, the quota- tions being from 29s to 29s 3d, business done being at a midway figure; No. 4 forge, 23s 3d warrants, 29S 6d nomi- nally. The shipments for the -week are only about 11,000 tons. Messrs.
