NTEWPORT'S WATEP,SUPPLY. I Notwithstanding tho rumours, reiterated in print frotn time to tim of a probable scarcity of water, the reservoirs at Newport at preswut con- tain, according to the admissions of the chairman of the waterworks committee at Tuesday^ j council meeting, a two months' supply of wa £ fe-,> estimated at a consumption of one and a half.! millions per day. Perhaps no more sevore test 11 of the water supply of the borough could be made than has been made by the recent six months ot very dry weather. Ac- cording to the mamtgot;* report, dated the 91 u:t., att average of 7S,481 gallons of water had been received every day during the month from the Henliys streams, and this fact at once dispose? of the assertion that the springs and once dispose? of the assertion that the springs and sources of supply are practically non-existent during the summer, and that it is only storage which can be depended 011. With these facts before them, a considerable section of the public j are uneasy at the determination pf the town council to proceed at once with the Wentwood scheme. A visit of inspection to the sources of supply of Wentwood, shows that the three brooks are at present dry, or nearly so, and it is felt that, hampered by the clauses as to compensation water, this supply may be had at too great a cost. The only justificatiion for an outlay of at least £ 120.OW lies in the fact that an abundant, supply is necessary for the development of thu Fast eek side. At tlie rate of progress made during the hist 10 years I at the East Usk side, a supply of water, such as I it is intended to bo obtained from Wentwood, would not be needed for three or four generations; and it is felt that tho Wentwood scheme is too great a tax on the prickets of the present genera- tion, especially as it is the greed of tiis landowner, and not the necessity of water, which has hitherto hindered the development of the site of Greater Newport, as witness the demand of £ 1,000 per acre for land which was then, and ij Qow, really w^rth only about S,3 or £ 100 per acre.'

1fr -& A CARDIFF PAWNBROKER TAKES ] HIS OWN GOODS IN PLEDGE..1 Albert Irwin and George Pook hate learned that it is not always safe to wear new clothes. The couple were together walking down Bute- street, Cardiff, on the 31st ult., when Detective Officer Stephens observed that Pook w.o» clad in a new coat and vest; he tapped the coupler>n the shoulders and said that he should take them Ik.? the chief police-station on suspicion of stealing the clothes. 011 being searched, two pawii-ticie. were discovered hidden beneath the linings of Irwin's hat, one of which shewed that another coat ) and vest had been pawned in Tudor-street, Cardiff, j This coat and vest, it subsequently transpired, had been taken from the outside ot the shop of I Mr Benjamin Woolf, pawnbroker, N f'Wpllrt. ¡ At the Newport Borough Police-court, yesterday, both men pleaded guilty to having stolen the coat and vest, which had been pawned. There was a further charge against them of stealing I a coat and vest, the property of Messrs A. J. j and E. Jacobs, of Liverpool House, Newport. This coat and vest was also stolen on the 31st, the remarkable, incident being that the articles were pawned thsame morning at the branch of Messrs Jacobs in Alexandra-road, Newport, by Poole.

SLIDING SCALE ELECTION IN MONMOUTHSHIRE. TO THE EMTOK. SIR,—Kindly allow me space in your valuable journal in reply to a letter under the above head- ing of the 12th itist. In the first place, I have never denied I am treasurer to the Monmouth- shire Steam Coal Miners' Electoral District for sliding-scale purposes, and that f was present and took part in the meetings for the years 1890 91 butl want to ask Messrs Richards and Onions a tew questions in connection with their membership on the sliding-scale. First, Were they not elected for twelve months, commencing July 4th, 1891, and was not a committee appointed independent of scrutineers for that parti tailor ballot ? What is the reason that at the end of the time (1892) they did not call the committee together and con- sult tha views of the Monmbuthshiro men whether they were to continue in office any longer than the period they were elected for, namely, one year ? Secondly, Do Messrs Onions and Richards assume by their letter that because that particular ballot gave them power to sit on the sliding-seale committee it is a life term of office? In my opinion they do, and I centend that they no longer represent the steam coal miners of Mon- mouthshire, but themselves. However if they have btan elected sine* 1891, will they kindly inform me a what meeting they have been electad outside of the committee that was appointed to R.0 that the miners were 'properly represented by the two gentlemen on the slidmg-scale committee? If there was such n: meeting, will they also imorm tne s'eam coal miners wliers it washed and how lWmv constituted the niest- iug, wnether it was more than two and the ballot box 1 his is the information that I and my friends in Monmouthshire aro seeking. Messrs Onions and Richards must know that they ars holding an ofliee which the voice of the men has not given them since June, 1392. Now, gentlemen just a word or two about nuance. I admit I have a small sum in hand since thsit particular meetiugr. but after paying all the ex- TS t 'u9 C'C;0"> you say, in your letter, that I at the present time do, ov should, hold a .c3. balance of about Bj. When the time comes for me to show vouchers and chHclor to the properly constituted committee, you will find that your estimate is very largely misleading to the public. It you are the legal representatives of tho Mon- mouthshire steam coal miners, where have you been these many long months, that you hava not been educating the miners of Monmouthshire into the doctrine of the sliding-scale, and where have you been during the present crisis ?—I am, &e-' REUBEN SMITH. Blaenavon, Sept. 14th. co"sider it not very manly on the part Messrs Onions and Richards to give to the public the amount they say I have, before having a proper audit. Then is the time for the public to know how much money has been received and expended.

I EXTRAORDINARY FRAUD BY A II MILITIAMAN. At Worslnp-street Police-court, on Thursday, George krain (22), who was in the uniform of a iVIintia regiment, was brought up on remand cnarged Oil his own confession with being a deserter from the Rattalion Essx Regiment, stationed at arley. An escort from the repfim?nt was m a.tenciance to take the prisoner back, it beinsr the practice in these courts to hand over deserters TP VF Yea't with by the military authorities. 1lobably that course would have been followed in tnis instance, but tho officer in charge of the case ptu forward an old man, who said the prisoner had cheated him out of 43. He had to, prosecute, because the War Othce had told him he was the man com- pia;nod of. With much circumlocution, the eld man protesting that lie must tell his story in his own way or he couldn't tell it at all, he detailed a remarkable story of fraud. Ha gave his name as Thomas Grant, living in Libra-road, Old Ford, and he said ht had a son in the army stationed at Luttcvant, county Cork. On the 4th inst. the himself to him and told him that Ins son was dead, and I said, God bless hi in that s very sudden. I heard from him a while agone," added the witness. The prisoner told him that it was sudden he was taken ill on Sunday, and died on Thursday, and he (prisoner) knew th- funeral was to be on tho next day, -Luesday, tta* 5th. Witness, continu- ing, said, I didn't know what to do, and so I saul to him, 'Come aion £ o' "and see my sister;' and took him with i11{! and lie told her the same talc, ohe asked him what my boy had (Iiict from, and that mail says, 'Consumption.' My sister says, lomj j don't believe itbut she t if9* JT- g° to Ire]a-lr,> man, and I'll pay half your fare, and we'll see into it if the boy's M Id go' aild prisoner said I could catch a train that afternoon and get there to th*Y' ai th5t l( 1 liked he'd s^nd « te'e- gram to the commanding ofiacar to stop the funeral because I was conn^. Well, we had a drop o' beer, and then I wen I c ut with that man. and he said I ought to havf bi^ of crape for my hat, and he went into a shop :.nd !i paid for some, and he SaLCI «il ? k a u*h ss a.a' forbis»1-d comrade's sake, and I bougbl him a bit and he put it on I putf" T,S!, fand 8'0t my 45,1 ready to go to Ireland. (Here tha prisoner joined in the njcrruiwatt the relation cf this incident excited in court).

ALCOHOLISM AND STARVATION, J An inquiry was hold by the deputy coroner of Liverpool into the circumstances attending the death of 1 lizabeth Hyland, aged 2D months child of John Hyland, who lives at 1, Wigan' street, Athoi-street.—Mrs Black, wife of a ship", smith occupying rooms in th* same house as the deceased, said that for seven weeks past the hi ether of the child had dono nothing but lie on tho sofa and drink bee* whenever die could <refc it. The child was horribly dirty and neglected' and on beginning to show signs of acute illness nothing was done for her ur.til Sunday last when witness took her to a doctor. The mother herself was in an extremely dirty- condition, and seemed to have lost her intel- lect. There was always enouerh food for the family, for the father was a steady man.—Dr Storey sai'i that the child was brought to hini on Sunday afternoon. He diagnosed the case as one oF starvation, and told the woman so at the time and threatened to inform the police, as it was such a bad case. When he was informed next day that the child was dead he refused to grant a certificate. On making a post-mortem Examination he found that the body weighed only 7i/|b or about tho weight! cf a newly-born /J'l' A healthy, well-fed child of the de- ceased's ago would weigh 251b. or 301b„ and r allowance for tho circumstances, the d»- d^'ouki have weired at least 151b. The condition cf the body pointed conclusively to death from exhaustion, the result of starvation. —Tho jury brought in a verdict of Man- el-iiiffhtcr" against the deceased s mother, who was accordingly taken into custody.

A. PROFESSIONAL SINGER AND HTS WIFE. At Newport Town-hall, yesterday, Elizabeth Latham, a young woman of prepossessing aiipear- ance, the wife of George Latham. alias Arnold, a, professional singer, appeared to support a sum- mons asking the magistrates to make an order against her husband for her maintenance. The little woman, who is the mother of three children, now produced a telegram from her husband, who was ii) Durham, in which her spouse expressed surprise at having received the summons, and promised money and an explanation by the next post. A postal order for 10s had since been re- ceived, and the wife now asked for an adjourn- ment for a month, which was granted.

[ADVERTISEMENT. J (The following report (ippsarcd in the South, Wales Daily News of September 8th,) IMPORTANT SALE OF FREEHOLD LAND NEAR CARDIFF. THE FAIRWARFR GROVE ESTATE. It is not often that an opportunity presents itself for acquiring plots of freehold land in the neighbourhood of Cardiff. As is known, tile greater portion of the land in this district is held under lease, with, of course, the consequent restrictive covenants and whenever a freehold is brought into the market it is in almost every case eagerly sought after. Generally land of this character is held for the rise in value which must inevitably take place as the town grows and for building sites it is almost impossible to obtain freehold except on rare occasions, such as that which will be presented on ihursday, September 21st, when the Fairwater Grove Estate will be sold in suitable building plots at the Park Hotel hy Messrs Stephenson and Alexander. To those who know the site very little recommendation is needed, for it may be safely averred that few pieces of land in the vicinity of the town are so admirably suited for building..Rich as Cardiff is in beautiful surroundings, it is difficult to obtain within easy reach a good building site with the added conveniences of gas and water supply and the facilities of transit which are almost indispensably requisite. Fairwater Grove is close to Llandaff, upon the road which passes Rookwood-Sir Ed- ward Kill's residence—and adjoins the road Oil the high ground above Ely Court. Pedestrians know well the sloping fifld through which rims the footpath on the west of Ely Court, and from which is to be obtained so fine a view of Lsck- with Hill sind woods, with the hills above St. Fagan's to the right. It is on the adjoining holding, and lying beside the Taff Vale branch lia«. that the now building ..ite" hive b I laid out-ali altogether exceptional position as I I regards site, having a southern aspect in close proximity to the town, not far from the Cathedral, and within a quarter of a mile of Ely Railway Station. It fe, moreover, surrounded by park I Station. It fe, moreover, surrounded by park land, Mr Insole's property—the Ely Court Estate —being on the one side, anci the Park of Fair- water House on the other. Ih addition to the —being on the one side, and the Park of Fair- water House on the other. In addition to the railway facilities and the 'bus service to Llan- daff, Fairwater Grove is less than a mile from the Cardiff tramway terminus at Canton, The whole has been divided into 104 freehold build- ing sites, so that with the sale effected on the 21st September, we shall see the creation of 104 new voters for the county. An additional recommendation is that, being outside the borough, these plots will be subject only to county rates, so that, whilst enjoying the con- veniences of the town, they will be very low-rated in comparison with town holding.?. The gas main passes the boundary of the estate, and the Cardiff water-pipes are immediately ad- jacent, Purchasers may allow two-thirds of their price to remain 011 mortgage at 4 per cent, for a fixed term of years, and will have the option of paying oif the mortgage at any time. They will also obtain conveyance of several lots free of solicitor's charges, except in respect to stamp duty. It will, be observed that in the immediate neighbourhood of Fairwater Grove there have during the past few years been a number of high-class residences put up, chiefly along the road from L'andaff Hotise and oppo- site to the main entrance to Rookwood and this mr.y be taken as evidence of the growing favour u-'iv'; -u=! clUtrict enj-.ys amongst Cardiff com_ Jnereial men seeking suburban houses. Added to its other recommendations, it is evident that Fairwater Grove Estate is one that can be easily dnd most effectively drained, being on a slope and as the whole is bounded by orna- mental shade trees, nicely grown, and the estate has been laid out with care and judgment, there can be little doubt that the opportunity of secur- ing freehold sites in one of the best of the outlying parts of Cardiff will be eagerly ava-iled of; although, as there axe more thin a hundred lots of varying sizes, the needs of different classes of purchasers can scarcely fail to be met, RT.d there will be fair expectation of all competitors being suited. Opportunities for investments of this character are few and lar between. We need hardly mention the prospective increment of value which attaches to freehold land in the vicinity of Cardiff but this is a paint which may be emphasised and insisted upon, seeing that within the observation of almost everyone* in the district there has been a great and rapid advance in the value of land and house property, and that, especially in the case of freehold property; this increase in value is to lie antici- pated—bsing, indeed, an absolute certainly. No covenants will compel a purchaser to build within any stated time but mutually-protective cove- nants as between tho different purchasers will be provided. The vendor has decided that tha whole of the lots shall be offered to competition, and that no private sale of any lot shall take place before the auction. The soil is red marl, pre- senting first ^lass foundation.

ColfinSl North is di.«gust«d with the perform- ances of his hordeS in Anierica,and intends selling tbeni. A commission was worketl 011 Wednesday at Manchester in connecLioll with Hanover Jack. Madden May ride the Duke of Hamilton's: colt ill the Cesarewitch. Detonator, who is engaged in the Beaufort Welter Handicap of 500 ovs., run ever the J'ubiltt* ihile, has lld't the Cnrrftgii for K oiip- ton Park. H" is fancied by his trainer. Crystaballe looked, much brighter in bar ecat at Warwick than she did in the City and Sumii oan, w'c and she shduld win a sliort-distiiib" before long. Although it; has been put abdut (saya the Sporting Chrdnide) thd,t T. Loates will rid-, I'cisouir for th, Cesarewitch, sneh statements must be, received with cantion, for Tommy will be sieen on the back of Amandier for the C sarewitch if the horse keeps as well as he is now. The story goes that Amandior stays, and that he is it. better horse at two than he is at one mile. On Thursday several Irish jockeys were called before tti, Stewards of the Turf Ciub tt. tli, Curragh, and the Stewards having intimated to them that it had come tc th-Jr knowledge that some of their body indulged in betting, they wore W-itrne-I that if, tn future, this cculd b prtoved, their licences would be Ht one-? withdrawn from those offending against Tnrt Club Rules. Our Cardif ffriends (says "Olympian" in hl Athletic notes in. the Sporlinj Lljr:) have been harbquinadiKg with their chronographs;. They were very playful over oil- of Bradley's six-so .lv shows, and, if I remember correo'.ly,' over soiile others. I would advise them, in thikindliest mann.r, ta have their watches sent to tho wash with the other Hirhv articles then thev iriav srive the poor things R fanK chance of emerging from the slows and regiSitTin^, that which is true. in, Ttis form of the selhnfc" platers ruu.m¡1;- this season is really inexplicable^ Jake| for instance, the ease of Glenarm. At Hurst jParJc on Satur- day the daughter of Bird of FrcedMu was never dangerous in the race won by Ktfocklayd. Maeuncas and Daft One also beat her ihen by many a length. On Thursday, however. de- eisively turned the tables, Maeuncas who was a hot favourite, not obtaining a situation. hot favourite, not obtaining a situation. Zimmerman, the American crack cyclist, who4 was over in England some time since, has now tafned the tables upon his recent conquerer, Sa.nger. On Wednesday, on th" splendid Spring- field track at New York, a half-mibicycle race was set for decision, and attracted an immense number of spectators'. The starters were Zimroer- man, Windle, and Sanger nnd as though de- tc-riniiied to wipe out his defeat of a few weeks ago, the American champion went off at a- terri'tie rate. His opponent stuck to him pretty well fosV rather more than half the distance, but the pace] then began to tell 011 Windle and Sanger, while | on the other hand Zimmerman, ifganythinig, ap- peared to increase his speed, and lie finally won;! rather easily in Imin. 4 4-5sec. At the complimentary dinner given on Tuesday I night to Charlie Mitchell and his chum Jack M'Anliffe in St. James's Hall, London, perhaps j the most notable incident was the meeting of Jem Hal! and Frank Slavin at the same dining table, In the course of the after-dinner orations .Tim. Hall rose, wreathed in smiles, and with candour ] on his brow. He addressed himself personally to his late opponent Slavin, and offered the hand of' friendship and good fellowship to him upon cer- j tain terms that did not at the time seem very j oppressive. Slavin was very reluctant to rise, apd the unanimous call of>t'ue company aione j induced him to get on end. He passed over the kindly-meant offer of Hall with surlyin'difference, J remarking as an excuse that it was Hob a subject j to be discussed before ladies. Mrs Moores parting injunction displayed •all the intensity of the Spartan mother. Indeed, she rather improved* upon th» utterance of the lady of Sparta, for her -1 words were: CL).,)ie back champion of the- world, Charlie, or—don't come-back at all )
