NOW APPEARING IN THE QARDIFF rjlIMES AND gOCTTH WÂLESWEEKrJEWS Daring the last few years Mr George Griffith, the author of the story, has achieved many successes with his powerful romances, and this iB not at all surprising, for his experi- ences have been exceptionally wide and varied, The son of a country clergyman, his early education was neglected, and bis know- ledge was gained while wandering about the world. Among other things he has been sea- apprentice, sundowner, sailor before the mast, stnek-rider, sahoolmaster, journalist, and now novelist. He is a, great globe. trotter has been round the world five times, once across the Rockies, thrice over the Andes, thrice round the Horn, once in the Antarctic ice, and has also voyaged in a balloon from London to the field of Agin- court. It is easy therefore to imagine what splendid resources our author can draw upon for material in the writing of his books.

CARDIFF CORPORATION HORSES. TO THE EDITOB. Sir,—What irs of far greater importance to ns aa ratepayers tbii the question of disposal of old horses is that of purchasing new. I quite agree with Onlooker as to the unwisdom of the trial conditiou in the Corporation advertisement. Ia fact the teri-af-, of the advertisement are ridicu- lous from first to last, and afford sufficient proof that the Health Suh-Committee have not even an elementary knowledge of what is wanted or of the way to obtain it. How could it well ba other- wise ? It is no disparagement to aay there is not I a singI" member of the committee; who knows anything about the business. Outside the Cardiff Corporation special knowledge and experience in horse dealing are everywhere deemed indispens- able. It is remarkable that even if the rate- payers' interests are not worth considsringj an ordinary sense of delicacy does not deter persons from acting ia positions they are utterly un- qualified to properly fill. What ia the remedy ? I would suggest that a Stables Committee be formed, consisting of not more than two or ihree members, chosen expressly all account of their fitness to take in hand everything connected with the buying, managing, feeding, and disponing of the Corporation bor,es. The thing would then ¡ be done in a manner that would reflect no dis- credit upon municipal as compared with private managenaent.-I am, &c.j PRO BONO PUBLICO. Cardiff, 9th June, 1900.

HUMAN VIVISECTION. APPALLING REVELATIONS FROM AUSTRIA. Vienna, Fiida-q. -in the Beichsrath yesterday M. Daszynski introduced an interpellation on the subject of human vivisection at th- Cracow Hospital. The story is that Professor Dr. Korczyuski ordered seven female patients to be iujectea with deadly poisonous liquids for purely experimental puiposes. The poison used, it should be mentioned, is never employed for tha complaints from which tbe women were suffering. never employed for tha complaints from which tbe women were suffering. The assistant houe surgeon, Dr. Keudzior, re- minded Professor ELorczynski that 000 of the women was already eight months enceinte, and warned him that the experiment would be terribly dangerous. The profesalor apparently recognised the danger, j for he said if anyone should be seriously poisoned tannic acid should bs administered as a remedy. The distinguished professor then coolly pro- ceeded by railway to Podgorze, leaving the experiment to be carried out by a medical student named Scbmidt. Within 12 hours three out of the seven women died from the effects of the experiment, and the other four barely escaped a fatal ending. Professor Korczynaki is not only a, distinguished medical man, but he is also principal of the Medical School. The students are better than their principal, for on a vote of 600 against 17 they resolved to peti- tion the Ministry of Education to dismiss Kor- czynski.—" Morning Leader."

THE KNOUT IN ITALY. RUSSIAN BARBARITY. Rome, Friday.—A deplorable instance of Russian military severity has just taken place at Spezia, where the Imperial cruiser Admiral Nachimoff is undergoing repairs. For a trilling offence a youug sailor was sen- tenced to 50 strokes with the knout, and when, bleeding a.nd faint, he was being led away, an tofftcer repeatedly slapped him in the face. This was too much for the sailor, who, blinded with pain and rage, knocked down his superior. For this offence he was sentenced to death, and on :Sunday the captain of the Admiral Nachimoff notified the military authorities of Spezia that the execution was about to take place. But the admiral in command of the port inter- fered, and the wretched sailor, who is in irons in the ship's hold, will only be shot aftar the cruiser ha left the Gulf of Spezia. I am informed that King Humbert has inter- ceded on behalf of the doomed man with the Rus- sian Ambassador, who has wired to the Tsar ask- ing for a commutation of th3 death sentence.— Morning Leader."

COUNTESS A'COURT." COMMITTED FOR PERJURY. Sir F. Luehington again sat specially at Bow- street on Friday for the further investigation of the charges of perjury against Sarllh Elizabeth Marcio; Hamp A'Conrt, the governess who is alleged also to have passed as a, conntess and as a parlourmaid. The perjury alleged is in the snit for slander she brought against Mr and Mrs Denny, who engaged her as governess, aud dis- missed her without notice on finding that she had previously acted as parlourmaid to a gentle- man in the neighbourhood in the name of Susan Adams. Mr Sims, of the Treasury, prosecuted, and Mr Attenborough defended. The prisoner, who reserved her defence, was committed for trial. Sir F. Lushiugton refused an application that he would accept bail in less I than two sureties of zE250, the amount previously fixed. I

MRS DRUCE AGAIN. A JUDGE IN THE DARK. I Mrs Druee's application against the London Cemetery Company in respect to the register of the grave in Higbgate Cemetery was again before Mr Pilt-Lewis iu the City of London Court on Friday. Her case was a little puzzling, she informed the Deputy-Judge, bnt she hoped he would unwind it for her. Mr Pitt-Lewis, however, was not in a respon- sive mood. His mind, he said, was in a state of great darkness, for he did not see his way to give Mrs L'ruce the grave she asked for. He would like to help her if he could but he was thankful to heaven that Parliament had not required County Court Judges to put right all the regis- ters throughout country. The cane was adjourned for Mrs Druce to take legal advice.

« HIS COUNTY COURT SUIT." AMUSING CASE AT CARDIFF. Judge Owen, at Cardiff County Court on Saturday, heard a case in which Dr. T. Wallace sued Thomas Devid, butcher, Ely, fur the recovery of E12 due to plaintiff in consideration of medical attendance upon plaintiff and his wife. Mr Lloyd Moyriclt appeared for Dr. Wallace, and Mr C. P. Cadle defended. Mr Meyrick informed his Honour that a. day or two ago defendant called rvt his office and admitted the debt. Defendant appeared to have changed his mind, and now wished to contest the case. Dr. Wallace paid the money was the balanco due ¡ on an account for a long attendance up on defendant and partly for attendance upon his wife Mr CadIt: went in search of his ciient, but failed to find bim, and requested his Honour to set the case back for a while. His Honour sternly refused to comply with the request, remarking that he could not keep medical gentlemen waiting. Mr Cadle (to Dr. Wallace) Has not defendant paid £ 10 on account ? Dr. Wallace Certainly not. His Honour: If be had it would ha.ve impressed itseif upon your utirld ? Dr. Wallace fes, most distinctly. His Honour: From my knowledge of defendant that would be the case. He is not unknowu to tae County Court in Cardiff. (Laughter.) Mr Meyrick gave evidence of his conversation with defendant a few days ago when David called upon him. Defendant, said Mr Meyrick, admitted the debt and seemed grateful to Dr. Wallace for waiting so tang. Defendant offered to wipe off the debt at the rate of 108 per month, aad said that if Dr. Wallace did not accent those terms he would come before his Honour in his County Court suit—a very ragged lot. (Loud j laughter.) His Honour One learns a good many things here. (Laughter.) Mr Meyrick It was his own description your 1 Honour. (Laughter.) His Honour made an order for paymertin monthly instalments of £1.

A TRANSACTION IN BUTTER. PECULIAR CASE AT CARDIFF. At Cardiff County Court on Saturday his Honour Judge Owen heard a -rather complicated case, iu which MessrB Thomas Davies and Co. Cardigan., dealers in butter aud craam, sued Arthur I' Abbiett. grocer and baker, Cardiff, for the re- covery of £ 12. Mr George David appeared for plaintiffs and Mr F. G. Forsdiko for defendant. Tbo defence set up was that the debt, in respect of butter supplied, bad been paid. Defendant of butter supplied, bad been paid. Defendant went iut) the box aud said he sxave the order t') I Parker and Co., and paid that firm for the goods supplied to him. The receipts were handed up to defendant by Mr Forsdike, but Abbiett in- formed his Honour that he could neither read formed his Honour that he could neither read nor write. His Honour What, have you lived in Wales all your life ?--No answer. His Honour Or have you escaped the Board school ?-No answer. His Honour Or ii this the result of Board School education ? (Laughter.)-No answer. Under cross-examination by Mr David, defen- dant said he did not know that Porker and Co. was Robert Simon Max Prosser. Don't you know Prosser has been convicted of conspiracy ?—I don't know. And that the man convicted with him was Copping ?-I don't know. Did not Copping come to you after leavin, gaol ? His Honour With his hair short ? (Laugh- ter.) Defendant No. Was llJt Copping at your shop when Prosser took your order ?—No. Defendant admitted having spoken to plain- tiff's manager about the butter supplied. His Honour Why did you do that ?-No answer. His Honour': You are not so innocent as you try to make out. One would tnink butter would I' not melt in your mouth. (Laughter.) Mr Edge, manager for plaintiffs, said Prosser took orders for the firm on cctnmisaion, but te only held the position for a fortnight. Prosser was not, however, authorised to receive the I money. His Honour gave judgment for tbe plaintiff company for the full amount.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT. ATTEMPT TO DROWN A POLICEMAN. ¡ At Newport County Police Court George James, excavator and farmer's son, Redwick, was charged with assaulting Police-constable Fripp in the execution of his duty. At 7 40 on the even- ing of the 22ad January last the offiser saw a man leave the road across a reea in front near Bisb- ton, and his right pocket being bulky hs grew suspicious and challenged him. Prisoner replied by an insult, and struck him with a rake haadls over the shoulder, oluci subsequently over the hel- met. They closed and feii into the reen aud prisoner deliberately tried to hold him down in 18 inches of water by putting on:: band over his month and nose. Prisoner also hissed a, big dog on him, but the officer had a dog also with him, and the animals occupied each ether's attention. Fripp got the r&iis handle, but prisoner leaped te ri 7er witll the aid of n, pole I and got off. On the 24th January Inspector Capper vk-ited prisoners father's house on the Great Moor, Redwick and found the dog, which at once went for Fripp, and ascertained from the father that his sen left home at 12 o'clock on the Monday i«ight, and appeared to have been to Woottou Bassett. On the 4tli of this mouth prisoner returned, aud was picked cut by Fripp from eight other men of a similar class. P.C. Taylor spoke to hi:; colleague's deplorable condi- tion two hours after the assault. Prisoner gave evidence, aud practically corroborated as to the incident, the details of which, under the skilful handling of Mr L. Hornby, solicitor, who de- fended, were considerably modified and softened down. A severe struggle was, however, admitted and that prisoner went a good deal further Lliari he should have done. The Bench held that prisoner had committed an unprovoked assault, and fined him 40s or one month's hard labour. Prisoner had been already in gaol for a week under remand.

MERTHYR GUARDIANS. j HARD CASE FROM ABERDARE. j On Saturday Wm. Davies, Aberdare, who was !I duly discharged by the Abfrdstre magistrates on a charge of neglecting bis lour children (thre2 of whom were his step children), appeared before I the Merthyr Board of Guardians arid applied that the children might be allowed to remain in the Workhouse, as he had no horns; to take them to. His wife had been sent to gaol, aDd it was stated she was in company of another man when arrecitcd. He was willing to try and iualie a home again when his wile was released. He earned 5d an hour as a builder's labourer when the weather permitted work being done, and he desired that the guardians, in Qjcing a charge, should not for- get the limited extent of his means..It was agreed that the children should be allowed to re- main. and various sums, ranging from 4s to 6s and 8s, wore proposed to "0 cbargsd for the accommodation. A division resulted in the adoption of the charge of 8s per week.

STONE QUARRYING- AND STONE DKES6ING INDUSTRY. Some years ago the firm &f Messrs E. Turner and Sons, Penarth-rrad, Cardiff, started their stone dressing works at l?ldon-road; Cardiff, a-ad from time to time, to mel t the ever-increasing demands of their business, have laid down the most modern and improved stone sawing, planing and moulding machines, with sidiDgs from the G.W.R. into the works, nnd a large staff of masons are being constantly employed. Such has been the demand for Forest of Dean aud Bath stone that in order to ensure prompt despatch of orders and also quality of material supplied, the firm bad no alternative but to opsn up quarries of their own, For this purpose they leased several tracts of la,nd from her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests in the Forest of Dean, and purchased several existing quarries, where thoy have for Borne time carried on their quarrying operations with plant of tue most improved kind. In addition they bave leased land where buildings have been erected and machinery and railway I sidings laid down similar to that at their .Eldon- I xoad Works Cardiff. For the supply of Hath stone quarries have I been openea at Box, where about 33 acres of lancl have been leased from Colonel Northey, and a number of cranes are actively at work. The Forest of Dean stone, both blue and grey, is widely known and extensively used in most lai-ge engineering works, such as docks, re^ervoua, ana r¡>ilwa.ys, and owing to its excellent weather- ing properties is largely used by architects in many of our public and other buildings. The sobstantial appearance that this stone presents may be seen in the bnilding now in course of erection on the corner of Park-place and Queen- street, Cardiff, where thtt whole of the exterior elevation is being executed in grey stone from the above quarries. The Bath stone is well known, and is much sought after owing to its being easily wrought, and in therefore less expensive than most other atones As to the stone from Messrs Turner's quarries, it may be stated that great care has t been taken to a,acerta,in the action of the weather upon it. and in every respect the result has baen most satisfactory and tbe various beds proved to be eqnsi to aov in the district.

BRIDGEND WORKHOUSE MANAGE MENT. AtJjSaturda^'s meefiog 0: tbe Bridgend Guar- ians. Mr Thomas tiecs presiding, the House Cowmitce reported upon the further complaints made by Nurse Wilsou as to the management of tiic, Workhouse. The committee recommended that the ingredients for the broth provided in the dietary table be strictiy adhered to, and that copies be provided for the cook and the inspection of the guardians. They further reported, that the nurse's complaint all to the removal of the bed- cards from the sick ward by the Master appeared to be well founded, and care should be taken in future to keep them iu their proper I places. Mr T. C. Jones, chairman of the com- mittee, said he thought that Nurse Wilson's com- plaint as to the broth was a trifle exaggerated. The report was adopted, as were certain recom- I mendations by Mr Bircbam, Poor LLW inspector, as to the details in the future management of 1/ the Honse. "'>I- _n..

HOW RIVERS ARE SPOILED. MAKING A RUBBISH TIP OF THE EBBW. At Newport Couniy Police Court on Saturday (before Mr R. Laybourue and three other naagis- trates) the Monmouthshire Steel and Tiriplato Company, carrying on business at Pontymister. were summoned through their general manager, Mr W. H. Davies, for suffering cinders and ashes to ba tippf-d so that they would fall into theEbbw or be carried away by the next high tide. There were three offences charged against the company, who are the successors to Messrs Phillips and Co., the owners of the works when the famous and exciting strike occacred a few years since, Mr Horace Lyne, who appeared for the Ebbw Hoard of Conservators, aid Mr Le Brasseur, who lepresented the company, pleaded guiity to throwing ashes aud cinders iuto the river on the 16th and 17th May but if these were the j only occasions, and they stood by themselves, he shonld have bad very little to say. Unfortanately lie. should produce evidence that duriag the past month between 200 and 300 tons of ishes and cinders had been deposited at this particular I place. This became a serious matter, and showed great weakness in the management, when it was remembered that within the year the same per- son and company had been summoned and fined 40s for a similar offence. Mr G. M. Taylor, witter bailiff to the Ebbw Conservators: proved that on the 16th be saw Harris and Martin two labourers in the com- panv's employment, wheei asites over a bridge across the river and throw it on to a portiou of an old tip which had bten carried away by a high flood. At least 200 tons bad been deposited at the spot where the tide had washed away a quan- tity, aud the no ,v heap measured 60 yards by 45 yards, and 10 to 12 feet high. The next day, the 17th, Harry Williams, watchman to the Newport Harbour Commissioners, found the same two men tip three barrows each. and he spoke to them. The tip had come cut towithin six feetof the mid- dle ardl of tile bridge, Witness spoke to an official, and he promised to get the run of flat metal removed. This b,á since been done. Wit- ness had constantly served notices on the cote- pany and their predece sors, and remembered ) that proceedings were taken Rgainst them in April, 1899. Mr Pugsiev, barbourmaster, New- port, also gave evidence. Mr Le Brasseur said that the tippers worked under a sub-contract, and that ttiev were warned by printed notices, and also personally. All the tipping ground was perfectly flat, and II the tip became an island when there was a flood. Wherever the compa,ny tipped the cinders would be liable to be carried away. Mr I1. Lintern the engineer to the company, said some casual men engaged early in May altered the" road" previously used, and led to wha.t was complained of. After the last prosecution the bridge was altered to prevent improper tipping. Not more I than 10 tons had been tipped improperly. The 200 tons were an exaggeration. The Bench regarded the offence as a serious one, and pointed out that by the plan produced by the company au encroachment in the river was shown. They reduced the raaximum penalty (£20) to half that amount, namely £ 10 and cOlli.
