-----------------CHURCH EXTENSION…
CHURCH EXTENSION AT CAR. MARTHEN. On Monday afternoon a large and influential meeting of the parishioners of St. Peter's was held in the vestry of t.bat church. The object of the meeting was to provide a Welsh Church for the Welsh people of the parish who now have to worship in a school-room.—Dr Rowland, who presided, said the Churcn people were in duty bound to provide fitting accommodation for the Welsh-speaking people of their parish.—The Rev. A. G. Edwards, vicar of Carmarthen, said the Welsh-speaking people, a large proportion of that parish, had had to give up the parish church to the English, and themselves to withdraw to a school-room. Some questioned the prevalence of Welsh in Carmarthen he replied thus: Non- conformist chapels provided by the people for the people prove what language the people prefer to worship in. There were five chapels in bis parish —four Welsh and one English, and in those chapels the proportion of Welsh to English attendants was eight to one. Others urged that the Welsh language was dying out. So he (the vicar) thought before he became a parish clergy- man, but experientia docet. It was a proof of the interest taken in this matter by the Welsh them- selves that one ot the Welsh congregation now worshipping in the Priory-street school-room had, unsolicited, subscribed £300 towards the new Welsh church.—Alderman Warren said he was not one of those who had been very zealous or enthusiastic about a Welsh church, but when the vicar pointed out that the English people were in duty bound to provide a suitable church fortheWelsii people, whom they excluded from their parish Church,he felt that that argument went home like a wedee. He had, therefore, pleasure in moving that in the opinion of that meeting it was desirable to provide a Church for the Welsh people of the parish.—The resolution was second- ed by Mr W. Spurrell.—Mr Lewis Morris, of Peubryn, who was very heartily received by the meeting, said that it seemed to him that the views of all would be best met if they substituted the words Church Accomodation in the resolution. —This was supported by Mr Morgan Griffiths, and approved of by Mr Warren, and the resolu- tion in this form was carried nem. con.—Mr Lewis Philipps of Bolahaul, and Mr Charles William Jones, respectively, proposed and seconded that a committee consisting of those present with power to add to their number be appointed. This was carried unanimously.—The Vicar thanked those present for their attendance that day, and he felt that the large numbers in which they had assembled, and the great interest and attention shewn were the happiest of auguries for the success of the undertaking they bad entered upon. The meeting concluded with a vote of thauks to the chairman.
BAZAAR AT COWBRIDGE.
BAZAAR AT COWBRIDGE. A bazaar was opened in the Town-hall on Tuesday, in order to raise funds to carry out certain works of restoration at the ancient church of Llantwit Major. The vicar of the parish (the Rev E. W. Vaughan) formally declared the bazaar open shortly after noon, and business at once began at four prettily-arranged stalls. These were presided over by Mrs Nicholl (Hamcastle), Mrs Hervey Murly. Mrs Garsed (The Moorlands), and the Misses Nicholl (Woodford). These ladies were assisted by Mrs E. E. David, Mrs R. T. Bassett, Miss Nicholl (Merthyrmawr), Miss Nicholl (Ham), Miss Redwood (London), Miss Blandy, Miss Evans (Llanmaes), Miss Carne, the Misses Garsed, Mra Rudyerd. and the Misses Vachell. Mrs Collins Prichard, of Pwllywrach, had charge of the refreshment stall, and she was assisted by the Misses Prichard and Misses Wood (Velindra).
THE VITRIOL-THROWING MANIA.
THE VITRIOL-THROWING MANIA. = At Glasgow, police-court a middle-aged man named Andrew Higgins, was charged with vitriol- throwing. On Saturday evening the prisoner, who is a druggist, called on James TOClk, a shoemaker, who rents a small house from him. He asked for the rent, but the shoemaker refused to give it because he held it was not due until the 12th of next month. The druggist thereupon got in a passion, and began to swear very loudly, and the shoemaker rose with the intentiou of putting him out. Higgins then drew a small bottle of vitriol from his pocket and threw the contents on the shoemaker, burning him on the back of the neck. Accused was remitted to the Sheriff.

OUR NEW FIGHTING SHIPS.I
OUR NEW FIGHTING SHIPS. A larger ironclad than any that has hitherto formed part of the Royal Navy will be launched at Portsmouth on the 20th of next month, and be named the Trafalgar. She is a steel twin-screwed tutret-sbip of 11,940 tons displacement, and 12,000 indicated horse power; and, if the expecta- tions of her designers are not disappointed, will attain a speed of 16 knots an hour. The armour vanes lL1 thickness from 14 to 20 inches and the armament, in addition to a powerful ram, will consist of four 67-tou breechloaders, together with torpedoes and smaller guns. This new monster will be launched in full view of the Victory, a ship which is now in her hundred and twenty-second year; and the two vessels will probably lie for some hours within a few hundred yards of one another in Portsmouth Habour. Spectators will then bo able to com- pare the typical lighting ship of 1765 with that of 1887. A comparison of their armaments alone will give a fair idea of the progress of the last 120 years. The Victory's heaviest gun carried a 64-lb. shot. with a charge of 81b. of powder. The Trafalgar's heaviest gun will carry a shot weigh- ing more than half a ton, and the service powder- charge will weigh 5201b. The Victory's shot, moreover, would not even seriously indent the thinnest armour now afloat; the Trafalgar's bolt, on the other hand, will tear through 23 inches of solid iron. The sister ship to the Trafalgar (the Nile) is being built at Pembroke, and will pro- bably be launched in September next. Another fast torpedo gun vessel was added to the navy on Tuesday by the successful launch at Sheerness of the Grasshopper. She has a dis- placement of 450 tCIlF, with machinery of 3,000 horse-power, aua is estimated to steam 19 knots per hour.

THE GREAT FOOTPATH QUESTION.
THE GREAT FOOTPATH QUESTION. AN ENTRANCE FORCED. On Tuesday a committee appointed by the Keswick and District Footpaths Association- drove in a conveyance, accompanied by a black, smith, to the Latrigg and Fawe Park estates in the vicinity for the purpo?e of asserting the right of the public to certain paths therein. They were met at the outskirts of the Fawe Park estate by the proprietress, Mrs Bell, who, on refusing to ask her servants to remove the barriers so as to let the committee pass, was told by the president of the society that it would be his painful duty to force an entrance. This was accordingly done by the blacksmith, and the company drove into the estate and passed over what was asserted to be public rights. The same procedure took place on Mr Speddinn's estate in the afternoon, the party effecting an entrance by which they returned.

CARDIFF EXCHANGE.
CARDIFF EXCHANGE. BUTE DOCKS, TCSEDAY MOR.NI.NG. There was a good attendance on 'Change to- day, and a fair amount of business was effected. In the iron and steel trades a better feeling prevails, and as we have apparently seen the break up of the drought, merchants are sanguine of good business in the near future, more especially as Dowlais and other of our local works are now well off for orders, the absence of water only interfering with their execution. In the freight market things are easier all round. Italian rates are not quite so firm, and the same may be jaid of those for the higher Mediterranean. Spanish freights are quiet. While those for West Indies and States are a trifle firmer. Coast- ing freights are rirm, and Eastern unchanged. The following include the latest operations :— Barcelona, 12s 3d, full tenns again for part cargo oniy, clear charter, 10s 6<1 (Tasso) Kustendje, 7s 6d (Albania) Gibraltar, 7s (Glenholme) Port Said, 3s 42,1 (Jenny Otto), and again at same rate (Nicholas Agliano, Syrdian Vagliano, and Jane Kelsaii), Tana Gormer, 10s 3d (Carron Park) Palermo, 12s (Glendale), and again lis (Denea) Havre, 5, 3d (Southwark) Alexandria, 8s 4ri (Wellheld). Sa.il.-Tois market is dull, and rates are weak for all directions. Orders are scarce, and very little chartering has been done. Ore.—There is no change worth noting in this market rates are firm for discharging boats in the channel.
SWANSEA EXCHANGE.
SWANSEA EXCHANGE. SWANSEA, TUESDAY. The attendance to-day was the largest since the establishment of the exchange, those present being a fair representation of the principal trades of South Wales, the tin-plate manufacturers] again predominating, nearly the whole of the works being represented. The buyers were represented by Mr Henry Nash and others. A greater number of local merchants and brokers were ob- served to be presenr, which is a most satisfactory siga. More members were enrolled, including Mr H. N. Miers and others, who are anxious to render every assistance; so the exchange should succeed to the beuefit of the mercantile community of the neighbourhood and surrounding district. Pig iron Glasgow, to-day.—Warrant market strong, 42s 81, 42s 901 cash closing—sellers, 42s 10 42s 1121,1 one month-buyers, 42s lid seliers, 43s. Middlesbrough pigs steady. No. 3, 343 6d (f.o.b.) cash other numbers in proportion. Hematites.—Bessemer Nos. 1, 2, 3, 44s 8d, 44s 7d, 44s 8 1 per ton f.o.b. One month closing buyers. Uwmavou Bessemer pigs.—Nos. 1, 2, and 3 (mixed), 48 o l per ton, f.o.t. Cwmavon. Swansea Hematite.—Bessemer, 1, 2 and 3 (mixed), at 48, 6J, f.o.t. Swansea. This price- is an advance upon last week, with upward ten- dency. The decreased make continues to a greater extent each week as the drought is pro- longed. Steel.—No alteration in pric-i is anticipated, as all the works are fully engaged upon rails, which is stated to be more profitable than making steel tin-plate bars aad, as will have been seen, of one large firm that has curtailed their production, it is well known that the deliveries of rails are considerably behind in con- sequence of the inability to keep the mills at full work. The prices remain as follow :—Bessemer steel bars, L4 15<; Blooms, L4 5s; Siemens' bars, J35 2s 6J per ton delivered cash, less 2? per cent. P. X. Merchant Pars and Sheets.—Bar iron, L4 10s sheet iron, 26 15s; steel sheets, 27 10s per ton f.o.t., with the usual trade extras cash, less 2 per cent. Steel r., Is.-H(-,avy sections, E45s; light sec- tions, 24 15s to LS 5s. Steel angles and channels according to section. Tuere is a partial strike amongst some of the smelters at Landore. Tite men, it was reported oil resisted an adjustment of tonnage rate of wages, which had become necessary upon the increased make by an improved new furnace, constructed at a large expenditure of capital. Tin-plates.—Coke tins per box, IC 13; 2d to 13; 6d Bessemer, 13; ód to 13 9 j Siemens', 14; to 14s 6d (coke finish) best, 15s 6d to 18s 6d, according to brand and finish ternes, 28 x 20, 27s to 28s per double box. Wasters are in great demand, and are selling at within 6 i per box of primes, all delivered Prince of Wales Dock, Swansea, cash less 3 to 1 per cent. The stock on hand at Swansea on Saturday was 83,329 Hoxes, as against the previous week of 92,608, showing a further reduction in the stocks of 4,279 boxes upon the week, aud as compared with the corresponding week of last year a de- crease of 33,776. The American exports indicate that the stocks on that side are undergoing a similar diminution, notwithstanding there being usually a less con- sumption at this season of the year. The makers report that they are quoting advanced prices, and aro firm, and have declined to book orders unless at improved figures all round, and tney can foresee that very shortly a higher value must be realised for their plates, and while it is stated that buyers are offering the current rates for deliveries to the end of the year, makers should not listen to such proposals, which appear to I)e so strongly advo- cated in market reports. With a little firmness and discretion, something beyond the present prices should be obtained for forward deliveries. The circumstances spoken to on 'Change last week have not in any way diminished the strain under which most of the works have to contend against in the shortness of water, which is con- siderably aggravated in every direction, and causing a scarcity of supply in steel bars and other raw materials. Block Tin.—Straits, 2102 12s 6d, which is a slight reduction upon last week. Copper.—Chili bars, £ 40 3 91 cash, and 240 13s 9d forward. Spelter.— £ 15, an advance, and with upward tendency. Coal.—Best steam coals have advanced to 9s 9d to 10s f.o.b. Manufacturing coals unaltered.

MONEY jUARKET.
MONEY jUARKET. LONDON*, Tuesday. There was nothing new to-day in the general appearance of theMon^y Market. Slight recovery was reported in American Exchange, and the demand fur gold for New York was not so strong as it was. With the weakening of money here Continental Exchanges are becoming less favour- able, both Berlin and Paris being reported flat. Short loans were not wanted to-day, and were quoted at about i per cent. The Discount rate for three months' bills was 2i per cent. Paris Cheque Fxchaitsr* was St Petersburg three months,25 17 32. Stock Exchange lousiness was very quiet, and markets were uninfluenced by any distinctive feature. Attention was aimost exclusively centred in the arrangement of accounts. Tiie market had au undecided appearance. H,nr.eo Railways and Foreign Bonds were in the main firm, but many other issues were rather weak at time. Consols were unaltered for money, but 1-16 lower for account, at lOl to 101 tor both. Reduce i and New Three per Cent-, closed at 102 to 102a New 221 Cents., 93 t" 93j.

A BURIED CITY.
A BURIED CITY. That one of the greatest of all the cities built by the Buddhists in the East should have been for- gotten and lost in the depths of a trackless forest for a thousand years is a fact that lays a powerful hold on the imagination. Readers of Mr Ferguson and Sir Emerson Tennent have heard something of the architectural wonders of Auuradhapura, the ancient city of granite," in the island of Ceylon, and of the unparalleled im- munity of its structures and rich monumental remains from the ravages of the spoiler and the religious fanatic. Since they wrote great progress has been made in the way of clearing the jungle, and excavating and restoring this striking illustration of the truth of the Romau poet's prophecy that the world's eld age shall bring to light Quicquid sub terra est- Mr Burrows, who has lately visited the city. gives in the September number of Macmillan's Magazine a remarkable account of the progress made in local archaoelogical researches since thismarvellousrelic of the past was accidentally re-discovered. The ruins at present disclosed are described as already extending for a distance of at least four miles by two and a half. The wonderful Cingalese palace, supposed to have been built about the commence- ment of the Christian era, of which Mr Burrows gives an elaborate description, was discovered gives an elaborate description, was discovered only last yeat. So far the clearings and excava- tions are stated to yield results which entirely agree with the most authentic account extant from an eye-witness of ancient Anuradhapura— the Chinese traveller Fa Hian, who visited it in the early part of the fith century.

THE DISPUTE AT THE ELLIOT…
THE DISPUTE AT THE ELLIOT COLLIERY, NEW TREDEGAR. In our last report respecting this dispute, it was stated that the men bad resumed work on a day- to-day notice, and that the matter had been re- ferred to arbitration. This was done, and the arbitrators (Mr Wm. Jones, of the Varteg, for the Powell Duffryn Company, and Mr Jno. Morgan, miners' agent, for the men) met on several occa- sions and took evidence from workmen and from former overmen and managers. The management endeavoured to prove that in 1879 no allowance had been made for thin coal in their New Tredegar Colliery. Ultimately, the arbitrators could not agree, and the matter was referred to the concilia- tion board. This board met at Cardiff on Satur- day last, and after hearing the representatives of both sides it seemed to be generally admitted that a small allowance was due to tho men for the clod," but that before the board could decide as to whether any nllowance bad been made in 1879 for thin coal it would be necessary to examine the measuring books or the pay sheets. Now the former are written in pencil, and are seldom preserved for more than a few months at a time, while no allowance could be detected from an examination of pay sheets, as all allowances are entered as payment for ripping top," standing timbers," or some such operation, and never as allowances for defects in seam or top. These points were fully considered at.a meeting held by the work. men on Monday night, and it was decided that all tools should be taken out on Tuesday. This was done, and what further steps will be taken re- mains to be seen. The business men and owners of property will be seriously affected by this step, and it is hoped thatl some means of settling the dispute may yet appear.
THE CLEVELAND IRON TRADE.
THE CLEVELAND IRON TRADE. MIDDLESBROUGH, Tuesday. There is a tirm and steady falling about the pig-iron trade, and this is shown at the market to-day. There was not very much demand, but still business was a, little better, and deliveries are going on much more freely. Shipments of pig iron foreign and coatwise to yesterday for August were nearly 20,000 tons, being 8,000 tons more than in the preceding month. Connal's stocks have also been reduced above 1,000 tons. The quotation of makers is generally 35 for No. 3, but merchants do business at 3 4s 4d for prompt, and 34s 6d over the remainder of the year. No. 4 forge is about 32. 6d. There has been a little more inquiry for finished iron, but the prices are not sensibly better, bars being 24 10s ;] ship plates 24 7s 6d; anzles J54 5s and sheets L5 15s, less commission. The steel trade has been very well maintained, and prices keep firm. Plates are E6 to £6 2s 61 angles, L5 10.0; rails, £ 4 2s 6d. Foundries and engineering works are doing rather better.
HAVERFORDWEST WATER SUPPLY.
HAVERFORDWEST WATER SUPPLY. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ENQUIRY. An adiourned enquiry was held at the Shire Hall, Haverfordwest, by Mr S. J. Smith, C.E., one of the Local Government Board inspectors, on Monday, into the application of the town council for borrowing powers to the amount of £5,000 to enable them to provide a supplementary water supply from Barnsley. The chamber of commerce, who opposed the scheme, were repre- sented by Mr James Price, solicitor; Mr Cozens was present on behalf of the corporation. The inspector, at the outset, remarked that the cor- poration bad not complied with the Public Health Act, as sec. 54, c. 32 stated that three months' notice should be given prior to any work being done along the highway outside the urban dis- trict, and that a similar notice should be given where a reservoir was to be constructed to con- tain 160,000 gallons, and any riparian rights should be obtained in writing. After some dis- cussion, the Town Clerk called upon Mr Cozens, who said he had been called upon by the corporation to report on the supply of water for the town. That report was dated June 15th, 1886. He bad read the published reports, and believed it to be a correct copy of the one supplied to the corporation. He had made some sections and taken levels since the last meeting respecting the Barnsley scheme, which he still approved of and preferred to that of Plumstone or any other he knew .of. He had taken particular notice of the position of the Barnsley well, and taken levels. He assumed a datum ct 20 feet below the bed of the leet, and took his levels accordingly. He would suggest that the stealing be raised three feet and that a ring of concrete four feet wide with from eight to ten feet of clay puddle be formed. He tested the quantity of water entering the well, and found that there was a supply of 293,000 in twenty-four hours. The diameter of the well was 10 feet, and the water rose 2 feet in six minutes. He considared the requirements of the town to be 140,003 gallons per day. He considered the estimate a very low one, and thought that the scheme might be carried out for the sum named.—Mr Price wished to know if the accounts of the money expended on the proposed scheme would be laid before the inquiiy, and also what liabilities they had entered into.—The Town Clerk said the only money paid was about LIOO. —Dr. John said he was medical officer of health for the urban district. In his report to the Local Government Board of June 10, 1886, bo stated that attention should be paid to the water supply. He had taken samples of water from the well for analysis on two occasions which was submitted to the public analyst and pronounced good. He himself considered it excelient water. He now produced one sample of water taken from Barns- ley, into which he placed a little perinarganate of potash, and also one from DudwelJ, with which be did the same. It was evident that the Dudwell water contained organic matter. He knew where the river started from, and the district through which it passed was thinly popu- lated. From the geological position of the well he did not consider it liable to pollution. He had visited Cameron House with Dr. Williams (the medical officer of health for the rural district), and found that the w.c. did not drain into the tributary, but into the wood, a distance of 80 yards.—Mr T. Rule Owen said he was a land surveyor, and agent to the Picton Castle estate. He was well acquainted with the river all the way up to its source, and knew the residences all along the river, and did not believe that one single gentleman's bouse drained into the river.—Mr Price opened the case for the oponents of the scheme, and, on the recommendation of the inspaotor, a committee was appointed, consisting of the Mayor, Alderman John James, and Councillors ksamuel Thomas, Joseph Thomas, T. J. White, and T. Rule Owen, on behalf of the corporation and Dr. Bennett, Messrs William John, and William Lewis, on behalf of the chamber of commerce, to consider an alternative scheme, the corporation in the meantime to give the proper notices respecting the Barnsley scheme. The inquiry was then adjourned sine die,
REVIEW.
REVIEW. THE WKLSH QUESTION AND DRUIDISM, by "Griffith." Third edition. London: Banks and Son, Fleet-street. Price 3s 6d. This book is-, in many senses, a remarkable production. The first part of the work is devoted to a consideration of various phases of the Welsh Question," the term, as applied to Wales, meauiug precisely what the "Irish Question" does to the sister nationality. Though the author declares himself to be a firm (Unionist, most of the ideas he expresses on the Welsh question are healthy and advanced Liberal, of the type of the Cymru Fydd, In that respect the book will commend itself to young Wales generally, and the national party especially. The second part of the work deals with Druidism, and shows some research. It contains chapters on the stone kingdom, Druidic circles, Avebury and Stonehenge, Aurelius Ambrosius, The breast plate of the arch-druid, Valhalla, the duration; of the sun. It will be thus seen that the author endeavours to penetrate some of the mysteries of the old Celtic religion. The reasoning by which he endeavours to connect the Ancient Britons with a portion of the 10 lost tribes of Israel is, perhaps, more ingenious than con- vincing. Still, we can heartily recommend this book to those who may possess the ability of sift- ing tor themselves the valuable grain from the small quantity of chaff which is contained in this book.

THE PONTYPRIDD TRAGEDY.
THE PONTYPRIDD TRAGEDY. THE ADJOURNED INQUEST. VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER AGAINST MORGAN. At the Horse and Groom Hotel on Tuesday afternoon, Mr lL LI. Grover, coroner, and a jury, continued the inquiry into the circumstances of the death of Morgan Salatbiel, which, it will be remembered, occurred last Wednesday night, after shots bad been fired in the house of a butcher on the Graig named Thomas Morgan. Mr T. Phillips, solicitor, Cardiff, again appeared for Thomas Morgan, who was still in custody pending the magisterial hearing on the morrow. The first witness called was Elizabeth Emma Higgins, the wife of Thomas Higgins, a driver, residing at Union-street. She knew Thomas Morgan (the prisoner), butcher, and bis family, and lived next door to them. Between 6 and 7 p.m., the previous Wednesday, prisoner's little girl called her to prisoner's bouse. Witness continued. I was at the time sitting out- side with my husband and two lodgers. When I was at the door of prisoner's bouse, prisoner took hold of me and banged mo against the wall. Prisoner's wife was present. Prisoner began beating me, and my screams brought my husband in. I came out afterwards, and left my husband with pnsoner. The lodger (Andrews) then went in, and my husband came out. I was bad in the house, and don't remember anything more. I am subject to fits. I did not even know that the shot went off. The Coroner Had you had any conversation with Morgan's wife ? Witness I cannot say. The Coroner What made Morgan do this ? (attack witness). Witness: He had insulted me on the Friday, and I told him that I would tell bis wife. His wife, who was then away, came home on the Monday, and this was the second time that ho had insulted me. 1 went there on the Wednes- day—(the date of the shooting)—and prisoner's wife told me that her husband had forbidden her to talk with me, or book anything for me. She asked me the reason, and I told her. Prisoner said something improper to me, and when I went on the Saturday to ask for the (shop) bill, he again said it. I asked what I owed. He replied 4s 4d. I had given him Is, and said I would not pay more for his cheek," and would not buy any- thing there again. When I told this to prisoner's wife, she said that was not the first time for her to hear such a thing. I believe prisoner's wife wanted me to repeat what I had said to prisoner's face when I was called in, but nothing was said then. By Supt. Matthews: Later on witness saw teeth mark* on the arm of Andrews, the lodger. By Mr Phillips As far as witness knew, the prisoner's little girl might have called her in about the account. She had not told people about the insult prisoner had offered her. She had promised him not to do so if he would not repeat what be said. At the close of her evidence Mrs Higgins fainted, and was carried out of the room. Thomas Higgins, husband of last witness, said that when his wife called for his aid he went to her to prisoner's house. He saw prisoner strike her a blow with his fist. Mrs Higgins managed to slip out, and then prisoner struck a blow at witness, and witness struck a blow at prisoner. Witness then went on: Prisoner and I got struggling the one with the other. Wo did not fall on to the ground. My lodgers came in— Thomas Williams and Arthur Andrews. Prisoner tried to lug me inside the shop counter. My waistcoat broke, but I got free and ran out. I did not see my lodgers do anything. Prisoner took up the chopper from the block. He said nothing. Prisoner did not follow us out of the shop. I was not more than a couple of minutes or so in the shop. I subsequently heard a shot fired—this was from 15 to 20 minutes from the time I left Morgan's house. He went out, and saw a man holding a gun in his hand. By Superintendent Mathews: I cannot say how long it was before the shot was fired that Andrews came back to our house. By the Coroner Andrews said when he came in to us that he bad been bitten on the arm. By Mr Phillips: Wituess said that his wife had told him about the insult prisoner offered her, but witness could not say on what day. Arthur Andrews, who lodged with Higgins, said that he went to Higgins's rescue; heard prisoner call for a knife. Witness interfered. Prisoner grasped a chopper which, after a strug- gle, some one took from liim. Prisoner threatened to chop witness's head off, and said that he would kill him before he should have the place; struggled with him bit witness's arm. Witness struggled with prisoner, who called out at last, Fetch the gun; I will blow his brains out." Witness went out, and did not return till after Salathiel was shot. Henry Chedgey, mason, Rickard-street, said that after the scuffle with Andrews, prisoner fetched a gun, placed it on his knee, and partly opened the spring. Then witness went out of prisoner's house. In reply to the coroner, witness said prisoner did not speak at all. Albert Griffiths, N n. 7, Tower-street, said that he went into prisoner's house. Andrews aud pri- soner were struggling, and Andrews called out piteously for help. William Williams, prisoner's assistant, prevented their separation, and said, ''It is a quarrel; let them have it out." Witness and others interfered, and Morgan cried out, Where is the gun ?"—Witness went out. After- wards witness saw Roberts, the man wounded, and now at Cardiff, and a stranger besides, holding the barrel of the gun whilst prisoner held the stock. The counter fell. A few seconds after the gun went off some one said, Catch the gun," and witness sprang and caught hold of the barrel. Prisoner still held the butt about three feet from the door. In a few seconds prisoner let go, and witness kept it till he gave it to Inspector Jones later on. Could see prisoner when the gun went off. The two men indicated were at the time holding the barrel. Did not see anyone pull the trigger. Prisoner did not fall with the counter. There was nothing to entangle the trigger. By Mr Phillips The collapse of the counter was not the means of turning the gun towards the door. Elias Thomas, collier, Graig, an eye-witness of part of the affray, said that he beard prisoner say he would make the" b s square now." At that time there were two or three persons trying to pull something from him. Witness could not say what it was. Witness heard the shot, and saw deceased run about 24 yards. Before de- ceased fell, witness caught hold of him. Deceased had stood about the middle ot the road opposite the door. By Superintendent Matthews It was after Andrews went out witness heard prisoner use the threats. William Thomas, collier, Graig, said that he heard the cry Look out I" after Andrews got free from the prisoner's house. Then came the struggle for the gun between Roberts and prisoner. Roberts called for help, and witness and others went to his assistance, and grasped the gun with Roberts. The counter then fell, bat they did not fall. Witness, too, heard prisoner say he would square the b-, and the gun was fired in two or three seconds. Witness had hold of the gun when it was fired, but was not struck. John Thomas:, Zoar-street, gave corroborative evidence. Police-inspector Evan Jones, Porth, said that about nine minutes past seven on the Wednes- day evening, in consequence of hearing. report and seeing people running, he went towards prisoner's shop. He saw deceased lying in front of his own home, shot; others were reported in- jured. Griffiths had a gun. Witness took it. In the right barrel was an empty cartridge. Smoke came out of the breech. Other similar cartridges shown by Sergeant Jenkins contained from 280 to 290 shots. The average shot-weight was one ounce and 170 grains. Witness went into the back room of prisoner's house. Sergt. Jenkins was there, and prisoner came forward and said:— Inspector Jones, I fired the gun. They were beating me in my own shop. I did it in self- defence to clear the shop." Wituess, seeing the excitement of the crowd, advised prisoner to come quietly to the police-station. Prisoner went with Sergeant Jenkins. Witness produced the gun. By Mr Phillips I did not caution the prisoner. I really did not know what the charge would be against him—whether the affair was an accident or not. I sent him to the station for safety. Police-sergeant Jenkins said that he appre- hended prisoner. Just as he got through the door of prisoner's shop, prisoner said, What could I do but shoot? They were all in my shop, and 1 thought they would kill me." Witness told him he must come to the police-station. Prisoner made no reply, but said, Let me go to the back room for a drink." They went, and prisoner got some ginger beer, and was then conveyed to the station. Subsequently he charged prisoner formally with shooting deceased, and cautioned him. Prisoner replied, "I was not the one who committed mur der that's the man"—pointing to the witness Griffiths. "He took the gun from me before it went off." Witness afterwards found 15 car- tridges in the desk in prisoner's house. Witness thought prisoner was perfectly sober. Mr Phillips then called for the defence William Alfred Thomas, 59, Rickiird-street. He corro- borated previous witnesses as to the preliminary features of the struggle. In the scuffle for the gun which prisoner had with him outside, the shop counter and the machine on it went down. To the of witness's belief the gUll wont off in the scuffle. Prisoner's hand was not near the trigger. Witness said to prisoner at the time, after the shot went off, "Was there a blank cartridge in it?" Prisoner replied, "No, lam afraid it was not." William Williams, prisoner's assistant, was called by the jury, and gave evidence. A crowd came into the shop after the scuffta between prisoner and Andrews. Witness asked the crowd to stand back, and not to aggravate the prisoner more wit- ness would soon part them (prisoner and Andrews). He and others did so. In the fall of the counter and scales piisonor lost grip of the gun. Witness had not heard prisoner's alleged threats or ask for the chopper. The Coroner then summed up, and the jury deliberated for two-and-a-half hours on their verdict. At a quarter to nine the public were re- admitted. The foreman of the jury (Mr Coombes) said that tho verdict of the jury was—"We find that Morgan Salathiel met with hi* death through a shot fired by Thomas Morgan." The Coroner: Do you find any provocation ? The Foreman That is the verdict we could not come to any other verdict according to the evidence. The Coroner: That means murder. Prisoner was then declared to be indicted at the next assizes on the charge of the wilful murder of Morgan Salathiel. Great and general excitement was evidenced in the case.

RHYMNEY IRON COMPANY.
RHYMNEY IRON COMPANY. A SHAREHOLDER'S GRIEVANCE. The position of the Rhymney Iron Company was severely criticised at a meeting of local shareholders, held under the presidency of Mr David Davies, Glebeland, on Monday night at Merthyr. About forty persons were present. Addresses were delivered by the chairman, Mr Griffiths (Rhymney), Mr Dixon (Rhymney), Mr Griffiths (Cardiff), and the truck system and various financial matters were referred to. After considerable discussion it was resolved to appoint a committee with Mr Dixon as chairmau, Mr Thomas Williams (Gwaelodygarth), as treasurer, and Mr Thos. Thomas, as secretary to communi- cate with the board of directors with a view to obtaining redress of the grievances complained of, and in the event of thei r not bein successful, a general meeting of shareholders is to be convened, it being felt that the property is in reality very valuable. A memorial is to be drawn up by the committee.
__n_____--_.----A PONTYCWMMER…
__n_ A PONTYCWMMER FIRE INSURANCE CASE. An important fire insurance arbitration has just concluded at Bristol—before Messrs T. V. Selfe and E. T. Collins as arbitrators, and Mr Metcalfe as umpire—after a hearing extending over six days. The claim, amounting to upwards of was made by Lewis Lewis, grocer, Pontycwmmer, against the General Life and Fire Assurance Company, for the total loss of his stock, furniture, etc., by a fire which occurred on his premises, Bristol House, Pontycwmmer, iu May, 1886. Mr Abel Thomas (instructed by Mr H. Jacob, Cardiff) appeared for Lewis, and Mr Sidney Woolf (instructed by Messrs Gush, Phillips, Walters.and Williams, London) for the company. Nearly the whole of the accouut books of the assured had been destroyed by the fire, and exten- sive investigations were made by the assessor and the accountants of the company, with the result that an offer was made by the company to settle. This was refused, and other larger otters were made, but neither of these could be accepted. It was then decided to refer the question of the amount of loss to, arbitration. Mr Arthur Roberts, chartered accountant (of Messrs D. Roberts and Sons, Cardill) acted for Lewis in making out and supporting the claim, and Messrs. Theobald Bros. and Nuall, accountants, of London, investigated the matter on behalf of the company. An immense amount of evidence, principally with reference to details of account, was gone into, and Lewis and his accountant sub- jected to a severe cross-examination to show that the claim was not a just one and exorbitant. After speeches by counsel on both sides, the arbitrators reserved their award, which will be given in the course of a short time.

THE FAILURE OF AN EX-M.P. At the London Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday, before Mr Registrar Linklater, a meeting was held for the public examination of Mr William Copeland Borlase, of l'enzance, and Bond-street, barrister, and formerly the member for St. Austell. The accounts show the liabilities to be £ 42,653, of which £19,037i unsecured, and assets £6,311. Upon the case being called Mr Hackwood, who appeared for the trustee, said he had only just received his certificate of appointment from the Board of Trade, and had not completed his inves- tigation. He was informed that the bankrupt was too ill to attend. The examination was adjourned to November 8th.
