PERFORMING A MIDGET TO DEATH.
rn. toh- appeared tn our Second A&itwn of Saturday last. PERFORMING A MIDGET TO DEATH. SHOCKING REVELATIONS. At Birmingham Mr. Weekes, deputy coroner, "II Thursday held an inquest respecting the death of Lily Evans, alias the 44 Lilliputian Wonder" and "Smallest Midget in the World." Tlie infant, which was stated to be nine inches l^ng and weighed only ten ounces, was perfectly formed. and six weeks of nge. The mother, Erumu Evans, wife of a mechanic living in Francis- street, said for the past two or three weeks she had let the child to Mr. Baker, a showman, who ex- hibited it at a room at the corner of Albert-street ,nd D-.tle-end, Birmingham, and for which she .-eceived 30s. a week. The Deputy Coroner: Who issued this pro- gramme:—'• The Midget. Every person from her Majesty down to the lowest subject should pay a visit to this wonderful being. Witness: Mr. Baker did. The Deputy Coroner: And then followed a challenge to the world to produce so small a child ? —Witness: He did challenge the world. Aud your bnby has beulen them all?—Witness- Oh. yes. Many persons ca-ne to see the child, but she could not say how much the showman earned. The child was exhibited from dinner time to nine or ten nt. night, but not often longer. On Sundav morning the child was seized with a convulsive fit, and medical assistance was called in, but death took place the following day, whilst being taken out for a drive in order to get better, as it was to rommence a tour at Nottingham with the show- man next day. Is it not a fact that you were drunk when the shild was being exhibited last Thursday after- noon ?—The Mother: No. Some woman said that [ was drunk. People have paid all sorts of things tbout me, but I never get drunk. In raply to further questions, the woman ad- mitted that the infant had been kept awake for jxhihition purposes, but denied that she was in the habit of taking more drink than a sup. Mrs. Whitfield, a woman who was engaged by tt.e showman as dressmaker and attendant on the -Midgut, said she had to make a new dress, silk, satin, and coloured, every day for the child. The m Jther of the Midgot had been drinking very freely while the child was performing, as she re- ceived a lot of money from Mr. Baker for letting him siiow it. The Deputy Coroner: Was she drunk nearly the whole of tile time ?—Witness: Yes, she was. flew did the child look'?—Witness Like a regu- lar show baby. It was exhibited every five minutes during the day, except when it had a rest at dinner and tea-time, when it was suckled by the mother when sober. When the mother was drunk the child was fed on scalded biscuits. But was she not nearly always drunk ?—Wit- ness: Yes. ^Sensation) Do you say that the child wag exhibited every five minutes?—Witness: Yes. And that the mother was drunk ?—Witness Yes. And that when she was too drunk to suckle the child it was fed on scalded biscuits I-Witness Yes. Dr. Alfred Naylor, Darlington, surgeon, testified to death ensuing from convulsions, accelerated by being exhibited, and aggravated by the mother hut spasmodically giving it proper The child was not in a fit state to be exhibited when he saw it. The mother, re-called, said, in answer to the Deputy Coroner, that she intended to burv the Dody because she was told it was too ftr gone. She spoke to the showman about it, who said he could Set £20 for the body. She should have sold it if she thought she was allowed to do so, but did not understand the law. The Deputy Coroner, in summing up, said the case was a most, extraordinary one. The mother. not satisfied with killing the child, was anxious to make money out of the dead body. The child being kept awake for exhibition purposes during lengthened hours and the mot tier's drunken habits had undoubtedly ttccfiprafed death. Owing, however, to the evidence of the surgeon that, he could not say that, death had been directly brought about by the mother, he did not thing the jury would be justified in returning a verdict of mansliuuhter against her, i though she might deserve it. The child being so weakly it was not likely that any doctor could say that it would have lived, although tliere was no doubt that the treatment it received had accelera- ted death, but. for how long a time he could not say. The woman's conduct, had been most brutal, but the coroner's officers would see that the body was not m'<de a market of for the profit of the mother, and was in no way tampered with, but that on the other hand it birl a proper burial. Tit.. jury f-)n,f that the Midget died from con- vulsions, brought about by the neglect of the mother, and accelerated by exhibition, and that she deserved censure for her cruel conduct. The mother, being recalled, received a severe censure, the deputy-coroner stating that she nar- rowly escaped being committed for trial for man- slaughter, and adrled that she might yetbepro- ceeded against by the police.
ACTION FOR SLANDER AT SWANSEA.
ACTION FOR SLANDER AT SWANSEA. STRANGE DEMFANOCR OF A DEFENDANT IN THE WII N ESS-BOX. A T^fOVSTTl ANCF BY JUOOF. WTLLT At Swniisw County Court on Friday (before his Honour Judge n. T. Williams; two actions for !>1,tt't<kotr, remitted from the Superior Court, and brought, by David Davins against John f.wiq and D. Thomas, came on fov tearing. The facts in both CUSP* were the same, it being alleged by plaintiff j that. defendantshad mad* cprtnin statements to the effect that he had hffn guilty of larceny Mr. Aho-I Thomas Thomas, nfted hv Mr Rnrdall. Listnelly, rppearod for plaintiff. and Mr. Vnrpy Simons for defendants. Thp pases were taken together, and six witnesses were called for the plaintiff, from whose evidence it appeared the plaintiff was a workman at a Portardulais Tin- plate works, defendants being employed similarly in another works at the same place Plaintiff andtnothertterson were charged by the police with having stolen a ",hir", nnd were detained in custody for a short time The result of this was that an action was brr-ight, hy plaintiff against it »»n named Thomas Da vies. person who had given information against him. On the action beingtried plaintiff consented to a judgment in his favour for I". nnd costs. Since then the plaintiff had been subjected to insulting remarks by his fellow workmen, and had been charged with having committed the theft. On one occasion, the 10th of April, the defendant David Thomas was heard to AAV. referring to plain- tiff. in Welsh, "Fancy 311ch a devil of a thief e°ing as a preacher." Both defendants ¡ called him a "shirt-thief." and said he was "the mar. who stole the shirt and nobody tUe." I Mr. Simons, for the defence, denied the allega- tions, nnd argued that what defendants had said Was in the heat of a quarrel. David Thomas had Was in the heat of a quarrel. David Thomas had onlr said He had never been in gaol for stealing a sfiirt." He would call witnesses to disprove what tiad been uttered. I His Honour AAirJ he could not countenance such a course. Six distinct witnesses had sworn to the words used by defendants in the case. He would not allow six witnesses to be contradicted point I blank without submitting it to a criminal court. Mr. Simons said that his honour had prevented him carrying on his case. He could not put wit- nesses in the box with a threat before them of committal for perjury. His Honour said he had often to sit and hear people commit, perjury, and said nothing. He on that, occasion only called attention to the risk run br such a course, and to its possible issue. Simons snirt his clients were prepared to run the risk, and would give their evidence. The defendant David Thomas was put into the DOX, and "wore he onlv said, I have not been in gaol for stealing a shirt." He denied the allega- tions of the witnesses, and swore they were not thereat nil till the quarrel was over. Witness was closely cross-examined by Mr. Abel Thomas till his Honour interrupted the proceedings, and, addressing the witness, said,Your look tells me you are committing perjury. Let anyone in the court look at him,that is enough." Mr. Abel Thomas asked his honour whether it was worth while proceeding further in the case- He thought the case had been made out, and the conduct of the witness in the box. His Honour: It is positively dreadful; it is really most painful His Honour then gave judgment for the plaintiff in each case for t5 damages and COSTS in each case.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT NEATH.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT NEATH. The election of a town councillor in the room of the late Mr. Matthew Arnold, deceased, took place on Thursday. The polling commenced at eiyht o'clock in t'»e morning, and was continued until the same hour in the evening. The voters polled steadily throughout the day, and the general im- pression was that Mr. John Bevan Duvies would Drove the successful candidate, an impression which was fully justified by the result. At ten )'clock the Mayor declared the result of the poll IS follows J. B. Davies, L.C 633 8. T. Evans, L. 425 Majority 208 The result was received with loud and prolonged applause by Mr. [)tovies's supporters. The Con- servatives were naturally in high glee, especially »s Mr. Evans had declared that the election was being fought on political grounds, and had repeat- edly made disrespectful referenceio the Constitu- tional Club and its honoured president, Mr. Howel Gwyn. The victory is a decisive one, and lias had an effect the reverse of cheerful on the minds of 30 l°udly ad oca ted the claims of Mr. Evans for the simple reason that he was a Liberal and an enemy 0f the Established Church. Tlie Town-hall, its approaches, and the adjacent streets were besieged by a crowd of aoout 5..000 persona during the time the votes were being counted, and intense excitement was exhibited. Fortunately, however, no serious dis turbance occurred. A threat to break the windows of the Constitutional Club which had been made by some indiscreet supporters of the Liberal can- didate WM not carried into effect, and about an hour after the Uociaration of the poll the streets were vacated.

'l'fclft i>KP<ie.. OP- rpTP \fEATH FURTHER DISCLOSURES AT THE POLICE- COURT. COMMITTAL FOR TRIAL. At the Npath Horough Petty Sessions on Monday (before the Mayor. Mr. D. Davies, Mr. J. H. Row- land, and Mr. W. Leyson) Wm. Henry Maxter, alias B. A. Bruce and Wood. was brought up in custody charged with obtaining money and goods by false pretences from various persons in the town. The Town-hall was crowded as soon as the doors were opened, there being over 500 persons present. The prisoner again assumed that air of nonchalance which characterised him on a former occasion, and seemed determined to betray no emotion. It was, however, palpable to closo ob- servers that hi, demeanour was only assumed. At times he would listen attentively to the evidence, grin at some trick he had played, and would occasion,l ily glance furtively to- wards the people in the court, give a knowing wink to an old acquaintance or one of those he had mashed," and was also bold enough to mutter a few jokes to the stern guardians of the peace who stood at his fJlww. It appears that the prisoner is an old offender, and that he is wanted on similar charges elsewhere. John Stephens, M.R.C.S., was the first witness called. He said: Prisoner came to my surgery on the 2nd of this month ab'Jut nine o'clock. Hetoid me he was the son of Colonel Bruce, of No 8, Fins- bury-squara, London. He wished to be treated for •» certain complaint, and "aid he had been sent there by Mr. W. Griffiths, chemist. I suggested it was a proper ease for a hospital. He "aid that he had no means, and that a bank draft he expected that morning from his father had not arrived. I then gave him some medicine at his request and told him to go to his lodgings. In the evening I saw him at the Llewellyn Arms Coffee Tavern, at which place he was staying. He pointed to a letter on the table, and said the bank draft had arrived, but, as it was after bank hours, he could not get it cashed. He then asked me to lend him a few shillingsuntilthefollowingMonday. I lent him 2s. On Monday morning he came to my house and "aid he could not get the draftcà<;hed th>tt day as it was Bank Holiday. He also said there was some informality about it, and it would have to go back to London. He asked me to lend him some money, and I lent him 5s. upon the faith of his representations that he was the son of Colonel Bruce, and that he had a bank draft. On the Wednesday or Thursday following he came to me again saying his clothes were beastly dirty, and that he wanted to get other clothes from the station. Upon his request I lent, him 10s. to pay the carriage of his trunks upon the same representation. I saw him that day in an entire change of clothing, wearing a linen shirt, a light tweed suit, and a blue tweed bicychng cap, with a silver monogram thereon. On the following Monday morning (11th of August) I was going to ilfncombe by an excursion. Prisoner walked down to the boat with me, and requested me to buy a ticket for him. saying he had plenty of friends in Ilfracombe. I lent him 41' which he promised to repay. When in the Western Hotel at Ilfracombe, where I was atlunch, I lent him 2s. more to have a bath. He came back at two or thne o'clock and liad a good dinner. which I had the pleasure of paying for. He asked me to do so. He looked across the table and said, "I haven't a blessed mag, will vou pay ?" On the Wednesday or Thurs- day, when I lent him the 10 s., he said he had had a telegram from his father saying he was sorry the cheque had not been cashed, and that he was coming to Neath in a few davs to settle his bills. He said he was studying as a law student, and that his father allowed him £9 a week. Tho value of the medicine, &c.. sup- plied him was about jEl. apart from my profes- sional fees. The total amount, advanced in hard cash was about £1 5. all of which was advanced upon the representations before-mpntioned. The Prisoner: You said I borrowed 10s. to get my clothes from the station. Did T not say that if I had my clothes I would go down to the camp, and "ou the-II offered me the 10s.? Witness: No you said you would ge down if you had money to have your clothes. Prisoner: No; you offered to lend it to me. Tli Bench fIe-h},s answered your question. Prisoner: His word goes ten miles. Did I ever tell you that you were my uncle ?— No; but it is rumoured all over the town that you are my nepliew. Did you lend me the 2s. before or after dinner? Before. Did I ask you to pay for the dinner, or did you not ask me if [ had any money r- You told me JOu had not a u blessed mag." Did not Mr Williams, the tailor, ask us to come back to dinner'?—I don't remember anything of the kind. Prisoner: He did, gentlemen; uncle there was with us. Do you remember telling us to come back at two sharp ?—No. Did you not say that you hoped I had enjoyed myself?—1 have no recol eetion of having done so. Prisoner I could not have enjoyed myself better if 1 went to Kew Gardens. Robert Walker, station-master, and Francis Hutchin5Zs, parcels' porter, gave evirJpnce as to the defenrlant having no 1ugg,e at tl»e !<t.\t.;on. Police-Sergeant Evans said about, twelve o'clock noon on Wednesday last he received the prisoner into his custody at Newport, Mon. He toid him t ¡lilt he was charged under a warrant with ob. taming money and medicine to the amount of £2 5s. under false pretences from Dr. Stephens, of Neath. Prisoner said, "Yes; I thought so much. 1 plead Guilty.' It's all through a girl that 1 kept company with, and through the drink. If I get out of this nobody wil! see me in this scrape again." He (witness) then conveyed him to Neath. The Clerk formally read the charge to him. The Prisoner: I have nothing to say, but I wish you could settle it OO-I1I\Y. I Upon t.he prisoner being asked tl"J sign his stAte- mpnt he asked, What shall I sign it, 'Bob Arthur Bruce ?'" The ^lerk Sign it in your proper name. In reply to thø Clerk, prisoner said he had one witness to call. The Bench: We would suggest that you should call him at. the trial, as we are boùnd to commit you for trial. Prisoner: I nm very sorry to hear It.; that's all. Prisoner WJ," then charged with obtaining food and lodgings from the Llewelyn Arms Coffee Tavern under false pretences. Rvidence in support of the charge having been given, The charge was formally rearl. and Prisoner said. "All I can say i" Inn- sorry for it., and [ hope it will he a l»sson to me." The Mayer informed prisoner he was committed for trial on this charge also. Prisoner: Thank you vary much. Prisoner was next charged with obtaining a cornet from James Adlam under false pretences, and at the conclusion of the evidence the prisoner was committed for trial on this charge also, and was then removed in custody.
THE LATE SHOCKING ACCIDENT…
THE LATE SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE TAFF VALE RAILWAY AT HAPOD. NARRATIVE OF THE INJURED MAN. On Monday Lewis Thomas, the young collier who last week had his foot cut off on the Rhondda branch of the Taff Vale Rail way, was sufficiently strong to be able to relate to our represen- tative his terrible experiences during the night when the sad accident befell him until five o'clock in the morning, when those in charge of a train from Cardiff discovered him lying bleeding by the side of the up line. Our cor- respondent found the unfortunate man in a small cottage in Fair Oak Village, Hafod, with his mother. To reach the village it is necessary to go along the highway either down to Hafod Bridge or up to he bridge over the river at Llwyncelyn Colliery. Bv crossing the railway near Hafod Station, however, the village can he reached ina few minutes. On Monday the sufferer appeared very pale from loss of blood. He had been, he said. on the night in question drinking at the Vaughan Arms. Hafod. Between eleven and twelve o'clock at night he went on the line in order to arrive home quickly. When a short distance above the station, and close to the bridge over the Rhondda River, he stuck his foot, fast into the space between the check rail and the ordinary one, and he fell forward on the two rails. He then heard a train coming up behind him, and instantly rolled to the side, his foot all the time being as fast as a wedge between the rails. The next moment the engine thundered forwarrt,and he folt the wheels crashing through his leg just above The ancle. He lost consciousness,and thinks he re- mained in thatcondition aconsiderabletime When he recovered he could see a short distance off the light of the signal-box, which he watched through- out the long night. He thinks he called out occa- sionally, but his voice, he said, was very weak. He feared that, his fort had been cut off. but "fett for it with his mind," and became satisfied he was mistaken. He then got up. and endeavoured to walk, but the momenthe stoodup he discovered that he had but one toot. "I still," he said, "feel as if I had both fpet." After making the discovery that he was minus one foot, he made a search for the missing one, and found it lying close beside him. He picked it up and examined it carefully. He then placed it under his head to serve as a pillow. He was lying on the timber forming the floor of the bridge, and he was sheltered from the night wind by the lofty stone parapet of the bridge. There through the long, weary hours he lav, until day began to dawn. He then saw two Englishmen, whom he knew, standing near the screens of Hafod Colliery, less than 100 yards from him. The space bet ween thermits and the parapet formed a hollow, in which he was lying, 90 that it would be difficult for anyone at a distance to see him. He called, "Oh, my leg is off," to the two English- men. He did this repeatedly, and the two men gazed, as he thought, towards him. He called, "Oh dear, bring me water." But there was no response to his pitiful cries. He was now conscious of the awful danger he was in, and was awed by what, he deemed to be his close proximity to eternity. Daylight revealed to his gaze his blood all about where he was lying. After awhile he heard an engine coming up the line. It stopped near him, and he found a crowd of friendly people about him, who carried him home to his mother's house. The doctors at noon found it necessary to amputate his leg below the knee. a short distance above where his foot had been severed. Just be- fore I left, his bedside he told me, "It was all through the drink, sir." He is progressing favour- ably. He told me that Mr. William Davies, the manager of the collieries ctoseby, in one of which he was employed, was very kind to him, and had promised to assist him in getting a cork leg.

jKE- .j OF ST. ISHMAEL'S jiai…
KE- .j OF ST. ISHMAEL'S iai itCH, PEMBROKESHIRE. The ancient Parish Church of St. Ishmael. which has been beautifully restored, has been re-opened by the Lord Bishop of St. David's, assisted by Dean Allen, Archdeacon Edmondes, the Rev. J. Tomb*, R.D., and the vicar of the parish, the Rev. D. Winter Morris. The "->cred edifice il!lelf is one (If great intere>t to the aivhspologist, showing evident traces of its Norman origin, especiaUv in its beauti- ful font and several built-up windows, which have been opened out and carefully restored. The mighty throng of people, many of whom came from a distance, congregated together on the occa- sion were, no doubt, tempted by the delightful weather which prevailed and the charmingly pic- turesque neighbourhood in which the church is situated, nestling in a little wooded dell, through which flows a silvery stream, the puny off- spring of a mighty sire, th<1t in ages long ago swept, with terrific and irresistible force to the soa ctoseat hand, so close that "the music of the waves" as they break on the pebbly beach ot Monk Haven mav be distinctly heard from the churchyard, where rest the silent dead who once played their part on life's great stage. Unfortu- nately, there is no written and authentic record of the past history of St. Ishmael's. Fenton passes it by with a few unsatisfactory remarks. One thing, however, is certain, that in ancient times it must have been the scene of great events. The glebe field in frout of the vicarage house is literally sown with dead. Whence came they? Why buried there? Surmises there are many. but. no uirect answer is forthcoming. Is oral tradition right which affirms that some great b trle was fought there? Ii so, when, and who were the contending parties'? Some 50 years ago. when the vicarial residence was built, human remains were found at every turn, and some of them so gigantic that it is quite evident there were giants in those days. There is a story current in the neighbourhood that ages ago some monks, driven bv stress of weather, landed here, and remained where Providence had sent them hence the churcih, and hence the name Monk Haven." As, however, the great tithes of the parish go to Tewkesbury, is it not probable that there was some connection between Tewkes- bury Abbey and St. Ishmael's Church ? It may be interesting to some to state that a stone which had beeD used as a step in the porch, on being turned over, showed a rudely-carved cross, ornamented with a cable border, believed by some to be of Celtic, by others of Norse origin. The morning service commenced at eleven o'clock, by which time the church was crowded to excess, many being unable to get within the sacred edifice. The service was intoned by the Rev. J. Berry, the first lesson being read by the Venerable Archdeacon Edmondes, and the second lesson by the Dean. The Bishop preached from St. Luke xix, 45, 46,47:- And He went into the l'emple, and began to cast out them that sold therein them that bought— saying unto them It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves; and He taught daily in the Temple." He prefaced his sermon by saying that the church was a very ancient one—dating back many centuries. It was almost, impossible to give the precise date of erection, but long before a stone of the building was laid Almighty God had been worshipped there. A godly man (referring to Caradoc, the hermit) had taken up his abode on the banks of their magnificent sheet of water, and given himself up to the service of God. He wished also to remark that it seldom fell to his lot to be able to say, as he could on this occasion, that the cost of restoration had been defrayed. The collec- tions, therefore, that day would go towards a fund so as to enable the vicar and wardens to carry out further improvements which were con- templated. Tho present restoration has been confined chiefly to internal work. Iu addi- tion to the opening out of four windows. the tracery of which was almost perfect, the old high-back pews and inconvenient pulpit have been re-placed with neat pilch-pine benches and a stone pulpit beautifully carved. The floors are inlaid with encaustic tilos, prettily designed. In place of the unsightly gallery in the west end there is now a minister's vestry, divided from the nave by a screen tilled in with coloured glass, the gift of Miss Lleweliin, of Skerryback. The church is heated with a patent stove by W. Perritt, Bristol. The tiles were supplied and laid by Messrs. Minton and Hollins. The pulpit and stone work was done by Mr. M. G. Jones, Haverfordwest; Mr. H. Edwards, of Millord, was the con- tractor; and Mr. David Thomas the architect. It is only fair to say that Nonconformists as well as Church people contributed handsomely to the work, and that Mrs George Roch, of Butter Hill, in addition to her contribution of £100, gave altar kneelings, beautifully woked. Mrs. W. F. Roch give kneelings for the choir. A lectern and altar frontal, white sillt with gold and silk embroidery, and a chalice veil were given by Miss Biddulph, of Trewarren. There was an evening service at six o'clock, when the Rev. G. C. Hilbers, vicar of St. Thomas, Haverfordwest, preached an ex- cellent sermon from Ezra vii., 27. Besides the clergy already mentioned the following were presellt,and 'ook part in tlie services, viz., the ReV. W.L.S' radling.vicarof Ma rloes ;the Kev. J. Boaden, incumbent of St. Catherine's, Milford; Rev. J. Harris, vicar of St. Bride's; Rev. W Kay Robinson, vicar of Walwyn's Caslle Rev. John Mears. vicar of H•rroldsioti West; and the Rev. Gerard A. Herklots, vicar of St. Saviour's, Haverstock Hill, London. The musical portion of the services was admirably rendered by the ch"ir, under the leader- ship of Mr. Bioor, especially the ant hem. Lift up your heacL*, O ye gates," icc. Miss Edith Davies, of Trewarren, played the new organ with great taste and ability. Great credit is due to t.he churchwardens, Mr. W. F. Roch. of Butter flili, and Mr. G. Lleweliin, for their admirable arrangements in sealing the va-t congregations. TLe collections amounted to about £20.
SEVEIfN AND WYE AND SEVERN…
SEVEIfN AND WYE AND SEVERN BRIDGE RAILWAY COMPANY. The tenth ordinary general meeting of the share- holders in the Severn and Wye and Severn Bridge Railway Company was held on Friday at the Royal Hotel, Bristol, under the presidency of thecitair- mnn of directors (Mr. W. C. Lucy). There was a large attendance. The report presented was as fol¡ows:- The directors are glad to state that, t' e gross receipts ave £ 3,00 in excess of the correspnllcUng period of last, year,when there was a strike in he Purest of Uean.and, notwithstanding *h- necessary increased expenditure, tiie ner. weiprs are J61, 00 more. The receipts frum trtifflc carried 01'1' the two sections are estimated as f..llo,v, viz. ,-Severn and Wy. 8. J per cent.; Severn Bridge, ] 9; percent. The directors, after much con- si. lenit ion, have xpplied to the Court of Chancery that hø sum of £ 1,600 he expended during I.he in relnying with steel mils, in addition to the ordinary outlay which the court has sa ctioued. With reference to the resolution of the shareholders at their last meeting, "That the directors be requested to consider the desirability of re arranging the capital of the company so th t the two sections may 0 >rnpietely fusedintoone undertaking," much dl cussion lias taken place upon the subject at tiie board, and with the v-iew of fncili* at.ing the cU.lIsl<1eration of this impor- tant question the Bridge SectlOlI of the directors have made & proposition a9 to a re-arrangement of t.erm- under the Amalgamation Act to the Wye sect on direc- tors, which is under their consideration. The Receiver's accounts up to the 31st of December, 1834. have lieell passed by the court, anu a 9UII1 of £ 4,000 paid Into Chancery the accounts to the 30h of Juue, 1884, show- ing a cash balance of £ 3,490 16s. Id., have bt-en judged in Court for examination, and since the 30th of Juue a sum of £6.000 paid o account of this balance, making a total of £ 10,000 now awaiting distribution. The Woods and Forests Department of the Crown intro- duced a Bill Into Parllawellt this session for th purpose of facilitating the opening of the deep coals in the Forest of Dean, and your directors, believing that if would materially condnee to the prosperity of toe dis- trict and vf your railway, petitioned ill i" favour. The Bill has been refetreJ to a commission of inquiry, which the directors 1J0pe will lead to Ii reconciliation of con- flicting interests, ami Is withdrawn for the present sessi >n. The shipment of Welsh coal at Sharpness Dock is still of a limited character, owing to the need of a new tip for loading in deep water. The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the report ,there was a very long and animated dis- cussion, and in the course of the same several shareholders expressed dissatisfaction at the re- port. one characterising it as bald and unsatisfac- tory. There was a general complaint of tlie gross inequality which existed between the two sections of the milway, and Mr. tiiles denounced it as cruel that, although the Severn and Wye section was earning 80 per cent. of the total, and the Severn Bridge only 20 per cent., yet that the division should be half and half.—Mr. Cartwright moved an amend- ment, That the report be received and not adopted, and that the meeting be idjourned until the directors submitted to the shareholders a com- plete scheme for the re-errangement of the terms of division of net revenue between the two sec- tions."—This was seconded and carried. The meeting then broke up.

BRECON AND MERTHXR TYDFIL JUNCTION RAILWAY. The fiftieth ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on MondRyat Palmer- ston-buil'lings, London, under the presidency of Mr. H. F. Slattery, chairman of the company.—The Chairman, in moving tlie adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said the half-year under review was the best that the company had ever had so far as receipts were con- cerned, and it was the more satisfactory as it was to be remembered that the first half of every year in railway matters was what was called the lean half. The increase in the traffic receipts amounted to £2.603 as compared with the corresponding half of last year. The increase had been of a progressive, and not a spasmollic charac- ter, and it had arisen without any additional traffic from the other sources which was expected to come in to swell the receipts. The increase in the maintenance of permanent way had been £ 1,006. On the 30th of June only twelve and a half miles of railway remained to be completed, and at the present time only six miles remained to be com- pleted. This was, of course, exclusive of the Caerphilly branch. During the half-year 10,000 sleepers had been creosoted, which was an additional expendituie, but it would prove benefi- cial to the company in the future. The doubling of the line between Machen and Bassalleg had been passed by the Board of Trade, and the Pontypridd, Caerphilly, and Newport Railway had been opened for traffic. This, however, had not yet had any effect upon the receipts, no traffic from that hne having passed over this company's system during the last half-year. Referring to the action of the Great Western in refusing to convey traffic beyond Bassalleg Junction, the chairman ques- tioned the right of the Great Western, but expressed a hope that the dispute would soon be settled.—Mr. B. Hawkins seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously; and the pro- ceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

He was hammering" some articles of attire wben a mysterious explosion took place. A stock of benzoline close at hand caught fire and ex- ploded, and the house was almost immediately in flames. The fire brigade put, out the fire, but Mactighe ia badly hurt.
IDUCK. AND JUAILWAY MATTERS…
IDUCK. AND JUAILWAY MATTERS AT BRISTOL. AN OMISSION BY A RAILWAY MANAGER. It is stated that the Bristol Docks Committee on Monday had under consideration the resolution passed bv the council last Friday, which requested the Docks Board to undertake the arrangements in connection with a proposed demonstration to cele- brate the acquirement by the city of the Avon- mouth and Portishead Docks, but the result arrived at was that the Docks Committee and their officials were -o much occupied in the business connected with the transfer to them of the management of such important undertakings, involving the settlement of a multiplicity of details, that, they felt they were unable to accept the duty of organising a demonstration which the council had delegated to them. Tlie committee have, in fact, been sitting almost daily for some time past making the neces- sary arrangements for taking over the control of I the two outer docks. It had been suggested that the steamer Juno, belonging to the Bristol Steatn Navigation Company, should have been engaged to take the corporation and other civic officials down the river to Avonmouth and Portishead, and that the mayor should then in the name of the citv take possession of the two docks; but the tide on Mon- day next will be exceptionally low, and, a.s an alternative, it has been suggested that the members of the corporation and other citizens should pro- ceed to Avonmouth by train, cross over to Portis- head by steamer, and, returning to Avonmouth, again take train for Bristol. In the course of a report which will be pre- sented at the half-yearly general meeting of the liristol Port Railway and Pier Company, it is stated that the receipts from all sources for the six months to the 30th June last amountefl to £2.704 14s. 8d., as compared with £ 2.872 4s. Id. for the previous corresponding half-year, showing a de- crease of JE167 9s. 5d. for the six months. Nothing is included in these figures for the traffic carried over the line by the Great Western and Mid- land Railway Companies to and from the docks, and the directors are not aware what such traffic amounts to, as no accounts have been delivered by the companies to the directors. Such accounts may, however, have been delivered to Mr. Read, as manager, but he has held no communication with the directors on the subject, neither are they aware what has been the expendituie of this company during the last six months, as Mr. Read has furnished no particulars thereof. The directors have instituted pioceeditigs for superseding Mr. Read, as manager of the line, in aecordadce with the recommendation of the shareholders. An order has been made on their application for the appointment of a manager, and they have carried in a proposal that the chairman of the company should be appointed. The judgment creditors proposed the re-appoint- ment of Mr. Read, but the long vacation inter- vened before tho matter could be decided by the court. The Bill promoted last session for a line from the Severn Tunnel to the Avonmouth Dock was withdrawn. Tlie Bill of the Midland Company was amended by limiting their right to make an expenditure not exceeding £600 for the purpose of constructing the block system of signalling on the line, preparatory to opening the Clifton Extension Line under the Downs for passenger traffic. The directors regard with satisfaction the acquirement of the docks at the mouth of the river by the cor- poration, considering that this will be of advantage to the company. The company being stilt in the hands of a receiver, the directors are unable to pre- sent proper accounts.
MORTALITY RETURNS.
MORTALITY RETURNS. Thore were 4,913 births registered last, week in sixteen of the principal English towns, 4,757 being the weekly average number. The deaths continue to rise very markedly, the total for the sixteen large towns advancing from 3,085 and 3.321 to 3,511, which is far above the average of the past yeal', The sixteen principal death ratea for the past week are thus arranged :— London 20 5 I Blackburn 31*2 ITuddersifeld.. 21'2 Manchester 31"5 Bradford 219 Birmingham.. 32*5 Halifax ''3 9 Leeds 32-8 Oldham 25*9 I Hull 33 4 Newcastle 2 '9 Sheffield 34'2 Balford 23 6 Cardiff 36 9 Liverpool 30 5 Preston 39*3 Per 1.000 inhabitants of each nlace. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean temperature of the air in the pastweek was 65 7, md this is said to be a little more that, four degrees above the average of the corresponding weeks in twenty years. THE HEALTH OF CARDIFF. The hir* hs of 82 children were registered in the Borough of Cardiff during the week that ended on Saturday last, the 23rd of August, 68 being the average taken from the past, year. T'jC births were of 35 hoys and 47 girls. The deaths in the borough show a sudden and marked rise; thus, :n the four previous weeks the deaths had fallen from 53, 49, and 48, to 44; now tlv.; total is as high as 66 for the past one. The average is, therefore, new gr.-at.ly exceeded,and the death-rate is taken at 36'9, the highest one reached this year. The increased mortality has, of course, been chiefly amongst voting children, the deaths under 1 having risen from 23 t. 29; at 60 and upwards the alteration is only from 5 to 6. Seven deaths occurred in public institutions, and one was due to violence. Scarlet fever rose from 1 to I), and diarrhoea from 5, 7, and 13 previously to 15 One death was re- ferred to diphthevia. According to the return that was made for the corresponding week last year the births in Cardiff then reached 77 and the deaths '34, the latter being equal to an annual rate of 19 7. The fatal zymotic diseases were—Diphtheria 2; whooping cough, 1; fever, 1; and diarrhepa. 3, the de.it h-rate by this class of disease being 4'1, against 134 last week.
YOUNG MKN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS.
YOUNG MKN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS. LETTER FROM THE GRJUHN EMPEROR. A conference of Young l\I'H1'S Christian >\g«ocin» tion delegates is now sitting at Kerlin. They number 340. and represent nineteen different countries. At the opening of the conference the president, read n letter from the German Emperor, countersigned by Privy Councillor Von Wilmowski, who said 11 His Majesty attaches to this meeting of Christian men, at which many foreign countries will be represented, an importance which is so n uch thp higher as there is to be expected from thsir mutual gathering, not only the strengthening of the associations themselves, but also the invig.)- ration and furtherance of religious life in general. In view of the ennobling and beneficent aims cherished by the Young Men's Associations, his Majesty welcomes the conference with satisfaction. Nevertheless, however, his Majesty is obliged, fhough net. without reluctance, lo decide to forego a personal reception of the members at Bahels- i)erg, because the physicians urgently desire his Majesty to give himself to an undisturbed rest of several weekt at the conclusion of his course at the baths, and especially to avoid during this period unwontd mental and phvsical exertion, such as greeting and conversing with the members of the conference from various countries would necessarily involve. It is to be added, also, that the manoeuvres, which are soon to follow, will task the strength of his Majesty in their full measure, and in a high degree, and that it seems to be demanded for this reason, too, that his Majesty should be spaied every encroachment upon a quiet life during his sojourn at Babelsberg. While, therefore, he is constrained to regret that he cannot accede to the request preferred by you. his Majesty, entertaining as he does the warmest wishes for the future prosperous development of the Young Men's Associations, desires you to com- municate to the members of the conference the lively sympathy with which he accompanies their assemblings in Berlin."
DEATHS BY VIOLENCE.)
DEATHS BY VIOLENCE. ) A coroner's jury at Liverpool on Wednesday returned a verdict of'-Wilful murder" against John M'Quade, who brutally kicked and butted to death a sailor named Keogh, early on Saturday morning last, whom he met in a street situate in a low neighbourhood of Liverpool. The prisoner Scarffe, of Stoke-by-Nayland, who gave hims If up on Saturday to the police at Ashbv on self-accusation of the murder of a young woman in London, was again exafnined on Wed- nesday by the Ashbv magistrates, and adhered to his statement Sergeant Holloway said that, so far as inquiries had gone, he found the prisoner's account of himself was true. He left home last May, and was imprisoned for theft in Holloway Gaol. He was further remanded. At Bromley, Kent, on Wednesday, an inquest was held on the body of Frederick Bowers, hop- picker. who died from the effects of injuriesreceived in a fight with his uncle, Alfred Bowers. A post mortem examination showed that death resulted from syncope, probably caused by excitement. It was possible that a blow or fall might have caused concussion of the brain, but there was no evidence of it. A verdict of Manslaughter" was returned against Alfred Bowers. Isltac Frank, 32, ironworker, was charged at West Bromwich on Wednesday with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Haines. Prisoner had lived with the deceased some years, and on Tuesday night a quarrel occurred, in consequence, it was alleged, of the woman being drunk when Franks came home to supper late at night. Both parties were drunk, and the neigh- bours heard a great row. Deceased was found by a girl named Elizabeth Thomas about eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning lying on the floor. The doctor was of opinion that she had been dead six or eight hours. The prisoner went to work at five o'clock, and stated that he left the woman alive, lying on the floor. The case was adjourned for a post-mortem examination.
THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAY COMPANY.
THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. PROPOSED SCHEME OF RE-ORGANISATION. The Railway Times deals with t.he subject of the Cambrian Receivership," and expresses the following opinion :—It is obvious that the direc- tors can never hope to permanently withdraw the company's affairs from the care of the court until steps are taken to reduce its capital, which, we should say, ought to be wiped out to the extent of quite 50 per cent.; the more so since the com- pany's revfenue is practically stagnant, with little or no prospect of any appreciable improvement upon the average receipts, say, of the past five years. Under these circumstances, we are of opinion that it is unwise for the proprietors to de- pend entirely upon a revival of business to rescue them from their present position, and we would suggest that they should at once formulate some equitable scheme of re-organisation.

THADE KtiPOltTa « — THE COAL AND IRON TRADES OF SOUTH WALKS. During the past week our steam coal market has not i-iplayed any mateiial change from that of the past few weeks. Most of our principal shippers continue io maintain satisfactory sterns, and pi Ices remain at about the figures recently given. The b iter state of affairs which has been of late experienced III our small coal market, stdl cont Inues to be upheld, and 'prices ren. iin firm, more especially for lh better qualities, which are iu very good demand.

In our pit wood mark, t the firmer attitude evinced in his branch of trade htsngain been sustained. The Iron ore trade remains witln ui altera- tion. Kates of fieiglit from the ore ports are, however, slitibtlv firmer. Our chartering nniiket still continues, very quiet, «nd rates of fnlght for all dir. ctIons are very low.

Unde. these circumstances, acoutiacthas been arranged with Messrs. 8.

This will be effected by the creation and issue of the A Debenture -to k (authorised by the Milford Docks Act of 1883), which will be a first charge on the company's property." SWANSEA, Saturday Night.—We hear verhally nd our contemporaries announce that the steam coal trade at our neighbouring ports is slack, but we Can confidently say that the contrary exists in our little but growing port, and in this we are borne out by having to announce that our clearances for the week just terminated amount to 33, 58 tons, and fit exe 9S nfthe previous week. Of this quantity France has taken 12,537 t"119. Steam coal, without showing "ny alterat ion in price, is in good de- mand, especially good second-class large. Winter buyers are still holding off. Stuad c "I is in little request, and weak in price, and the same may be said of anthracite. i atent fuel continues in good demand. MikeTs are well pro- vided with orders for some time to come, and, judging from the price th-y are getting and the extremely low figure at which small coal can be purchas d, should be reaping a fit- margin of profit,. In I he freight market tonnage of all deacripitutis continues plentiful. Low rates still predomin te, and will now most undoubtedly continue to rule through the winter months. Pit wood continues in better demand, at improved prices. The Imports are represented principally by mineral ore and pig iron. Ol the former 9,000 tons, and of the latter 3,000 tons, have been brought In, showing a con- siderable increase over previous weeks. In the metal department tin-plates, iu spite of all American attempt to pnll prices down, maintained t heir position. Demand is good and local shipments are well up to the average. In the other branches no change worthy of note is to be observed. The visit of Llo\ s Committee passed off most satisfactorily. The chairman and members expressed themselves as being agreeably surprised at the unique appliances and capabilities at the various docks, and tue hope that ere long a permanent shipbuilding trade would be established. The Chamber of Commerce h,la its monthly gathering on Mon ay, but nothing of Importance was transacted. Amongst the new enterprises announced, the Cardiff and Newport Patent Fuel Company (Limited), from the stability of the subscribers, promises to be a success, and from what we hear likely to prove a formidable opponent. to the present patent fuel manufacturers.
