WEEKLY NEWS OF SATURDAY, AUGUST 2nd, Contained the opening chapters of ft NEW STORY of absorbing interest BY GEORGE jyjANVILLE JjlENN. We have no doubt when our readers have Rone through the whole of the story they will declare they have never perused in all their experience a story of greater interest, sensation, bewilder- ment and fascination, than the new work of fiction now presented to the readers of the Cardiff Times and South Wales Weekly News. A MINT OF MONEY! A M INT OF MONEY!! A MINT OF M0NEY! BY GEORGE Jy/JANVILLE JpENN, Author of Black Blood, or the Lass that Loved a Soldier," The Master of the Caremonies," "Hard to Win," "The Parson of Dum- ford," "This Mail's Wife," "The Dark House," &c., &c. The Author of the new and original story, entitled A mint of Money," is an old favourite with readers of Serial Fiction. His books are clieerfui in tone, exciting in character, and free from vulgarity and false sentiment. FENN'S Stories are thoroughly interesting and entertaining. They are true to life, and the characters seem actually to live before us. To quote the Atheneeum, "Every page is the work of a man with imagination, and the gift of narra- tive." The Author of A Mint of Money is a past master in the art of manipulating incident and emotion, tragedy and humour, and in his forth- coming work, specially written for serial publica tion in our columns, Mr Fenn will be found at his best. OUTLINE OF THE PLOT. Geo. Mauviile Fenn's New Story, entitled A Mint of Money," is of complicated dramatic interest, in which the evolution of a mystery is carried on to the last instalment. The chief character, Norman Gartram, is tho impoverished scion of a noble house, who, leaving titled penury, engages in business. One of bis workmen, injured in an explosion, is a religious enthusiast, and before his death he binds his wife to revenge his murder," as ho terms it, by killing his master. The woman, on her husband's death, is taken care of as a servant in Norman G-artram'a household meanwhile, a bank failure induces the latter to store an immense sum of money in his own house. Suddeuly, he dies-his death being enshrouded in mystery. No fewer than six theories are advanced to account for his death, and the keenest interest is excited as to tho denouement. A strong love plot runs through the woik, the heroine being Norman Gartram's beautiful and wealthy daughter. THE NEW STORY A MINT OF MONEY. A MINT OF MONEY. A MINT OF MONEY. A l\nN'' OF MONEY.

THE TAFF VALE RAILWAY AND THE HALF-YEARLY MEETING. TO THE JlDITOR. SIB,-ln your to-day's issue is an account of the Tuff Vale half-yearly meeting at Bristol, at which the chairman appears to have added to his laurels as an eloquent and impressive speaker, with the result that the meetiug passed the half- yearly accounts withsut division. It is not often your lot to record such a pleasant termination of a shareholders' meeting when they have to accept one-half the dividend they have been accustomed to receive for years past, and this at the expense of a call upon the reserve funds and a subsidy that apparently will only be continued during the good conduct and obedience to the donor. The cbairman, in his address, regrets the exist- ing state of affairs, and draws especial attention to the reduction of rates, which it would appear he justifies, and also to the loss sustained at Penarth Dock by the diminution of traffic there, but he omits to state what endeavours have been put forth during the past half-year to raise the rates and recover this trade, especially having regard to his remarks at the last half-yearly meeting, presumably knowing—as it is common rumour—their shipping opponents, the Bute Company, have gentlemen canvassing and solicit- ing trade all over the ceuntry. The chairman, in his opening speech, is very decided in his remarks as to the earnings of the company. He says :Exc"pt so far as the accounts are qualified by the £ 5,GOO noticod by me, every penny of the dividend has beHQ directly earned during thn past half-year. That. statement I make without qualification of any kind, and without fear of contradiction," Up to this point uothiug had been said about the Bute subsidy, and it may be noted that it was only after Mr White's speech criticising the chairman's lomarks that ho (the chairman) stated, vide your report Referring to the subsidy paid by Lord Bute to the Till Company, there was no secret at all in the matter, and that for the last half-year it amounted to £18,(00, and that it was incorpo- rated in the reveuuo account for minerals carried." In the same paragraph the chairman is also reported to have stated "he most em- phatically repudiated that Lord Bute had any- thing to do with the rale which the Taff Vale Company was charging. Happy Taff Vale Company to get 218,000 in the half- year for uothiug; but why did not some of the shareholder* present put the qnestion, Why was the £18,000 ? Was it not to help to recoup the loss on the profits formerly derived from shipments at Penartb, and which, after allowing 50 per cent. for workieg expense* in iiie former hail-year, would lea. VI a profit of £ 33.000, tbe gross earnings beiug £66,000, whii,! the present half-year the earnings a re only £ 29,QC0. I therefore agree with Mr White's remark when he suggested that Lord Bute was not paying his proper proportion to the funds of the coaipauy. Either Lord Bute .should he asked to contribute a larger sum or the company should revert to their otd position aud eucourage shipments at their own dock at Penarth. Mr White is reported to have stated he felt that the board should be strengthened by men of commercial and railway expenonce," adding, he believed that it would be to the interest of the company if the present board would voluntarily retire. In criticising the management lie remarked "But they should remember that no previous account showed that there was suspense hanging over their heads." Why did nof. this gentleman tsko heed of what was said by the Cardiff committee 011 a former occasion, and which your columns have so offen rppeated during the last twelve months. If Mr White's suggestion* are carried out, there is yet time to put the T,,ff Vale Railway Company on a proper footing, but commercial and railway men must be at the helm, and 110 time lost in rectifying the matters complained of. Is it not lamentable, not to say coutemptibie, that a great and hitherto successful railway company like the Tuff Vale should be beholden U anyone, however powerful, for a subsidy to p.-iy a dividend when they have docks under their own conn.>1, possessing every facility, lying com- par tivelyidle. J AI" tie Talf directors so far above ordinary men as not to admit an error has been made with regard to the reduction of rates! If, as the chair- man says, it is too late to recover these, at any rate let the company revise its policy and reassert its position as the leading railway company in the district by infusing activity and energy into its management. Then, instead of seeing their traffic monopolised at Bute Docks, they would soon, as of old, fill their Penarth Dock, and made much laiger profits there than any sum Lord Bute woidd be likely to dangle before thpm as a bait te leave matters as they are.—I am, &e., LOCAL SHAREHOLDER.

SWANSEA ATHLETIC SPORTS. TO THK KDITOK. SIa,-Tho cycling eveuts of the above sports, SWANSEA ATHLETIC SPORTS. TO THK KDITOK. SIR,—Tho cycling eveuts of the above sports, which took place last Monday, were advertised to be run under N.C.U. rules. I should like to know whether the N.C.U. bar pneumatic tyred machines from competing, or whether they give a sports committee authority to penalise the eame to tile extent of 280 yards in a two-mile race aud 150 yards for one mile. In the three mile scratcli raco for tbe Hospital Challenge they barred it altogether, and would not let it be ridden. I do not think they w-utd have done so bad a Swansea man wanted to ride it, i can give many other instances of favour shown by the bimdieapper and committee to local risers, if need be. I hope someone will take this up, as I think an outsider, whether be be a knowu man or uo, should have au equal chance to win a prjz in an open race.—I am, &c., FAIR PLAY & NO FAVOUR.

STEFHICXSON read the report ot tbe committee appointed to consider the letter of the Archbiship of Canterbury on the subject of Hoaae R-i-unibu. It was decided that a letter of reply be sent reciprocating the sentiments con- tained in the Archbishop^ letter, and explaining why the reply had not been sent sooner. The conference was of opliuion.Agtst the conditions laid down, especially the fourth section, requiring the acceptance of the hiitorical episcopate do not furnish a basis for practical uMion, It was de- cided that this letter lie printed in the official minutes of the conference. PROFESSIONAL REPORTERS. The report of the cotneuttee appointed to suggest suitable regulations for the udmissian of professional reporters to the conference in its reprasentative session was submitted by Dr Stepheuson as follows (1) That leporters appointed by newspapers or news agencies be admitted to the representative aud conjoint sessions of the conference. (2) Tnat suitable seats be allocated to them by the conference committee of arrangements. (3) That special tickets of admission be issaed to the representatives ot newspapers and news agencies so far as the space at disposal will allow. These tickets shall contain the dates from which and Lo which the tickets shall be available, and shall havo printed upon them the following words: "This ticket is issued on the express condition that the attendance of reptorters shall be suspended at any time when the president shall so direct." (4) Application for such tickets shall be msde to the chairman of conference arrangements committee. N.B.—The committee suggest that about ten seats, in addition to the present accorattiodation, will be suiffcient. Of these two siioitld be re- served for the principal news agencies, one for each d the principal local newspapers, and the remainder allotted at discretion. The adoption of this report was moved by Dr STEPHENSON, and seconded by Mr WM. MATE, and carried unanimously. AGED MINISTERS' FCND, The Rev Walforj Greeu brought up the report. An encouraging resp uxs had beeu uiade to the special appeal for 225,000. The circular letter addressed to trustees of chapels had produced some encouraging promises of subscriptions. Legacies havo produced during the year £ 10,285, and £ 1,120 has been pail on account of the special lund started by Rev John Iiattenbury. This tuud is now closed. The ordinary income shows a decrease of £ 1,565 18s Sd. There is an increase in private subscriptions of JB184 19i 7d, and in public collections £ 523 17< 31. But for i speeial items of inconiu, the dtticieucy on this year's working would have been E665. During the year 272 and 318 widows have been benefited by this fuud. TEUPKRANCE AFFAIRS. The report i t the temperauce committer was presented by the Rev G. A. Bennetts. There are now 3,569 bauds ot hope, increase 133, with 370,681 Lueiii ,t;erii, increase 12,831.

The are now 652 adult societies, with 43,481 members, au increase of 46 societies and of 2,225 members. METHODISTS AND POLITICAL ACTION. Mr J. S. SUTCLIFFK, of Bacup, a leading Con- servative member of the conference, attacked the committee of privileges last night for sending all through the country, petitions against the compensation clauses. He objected to the pro- cedure all being political action, and at the same time unnecessary, as it. was work for the tamperence committee. Mr Sutcliffe was saying that he believed that Mr Goscben, in putting before the House the licensing proposals, was actuated by the purest of motive, and in the interests of tcmperencc, when he WAS loudly interrupted with cries of question Political f political !Mr R. W. Petks, a leading member of the cottfefeuce and a Gladstonian candidate at the next election, happened to be one of the secretaries of the committee of privileges, and be stoutly protested that temperance work was non- political, and challenged the centerence to prove that he had in the least infringed his rights, or in any way committed the conference to political action. He cited, as au instance of political neutrality on his p»rt, his sending petitions years ago against Mr Bradlaugh taking his seat with- out the oath of allegiance, though, wkile as secretary of the committee, he acted loyally iu the performance of his duties, though the action of the committee went dead against his own views, and at tie same time he might say he had not yet been recouped for the outlay lie was then put to. —Mr Sutcliffe again rising, created quite a breesa in the comference by objecting to Mr Perke at a private Oititi--r party wiiere Mr Gladstone was present identifying his views with those of the Methodist Church.—Mr Perks said his speech had not been correctly reported. He could not be responsible for the statements of reporters, whoQ great object according to a receacauthority was "to mislead the public." (Laughter.) (A- Voice: They were professional rt-porters,A loud burst of laughter greeted this, the point of which lay in the fact that Mr Perks bad been the dougbly champion of professional reporters, and their admmsiou to the conference.—Mr Thomas Morgan Harviy withdrew his resignation of the treasurer.«hip of the Foreigu Missionary Society, and Mr Price Hughes s request to withdraw from the missionary committee was not noticed by the conference, but greeted with cries of "No, no," Go on." The conference shortly afterwards adjourned.
