EHORMOIIS FORTUNES IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY. THE Morning Advertiser, of Feb. 22nd, 1886, has the following MESSRS. Cox & Co., 41, Southampton Buildings, Hol- born, London, have lately been instrumental in obtaining maiy large sums from the Chancery Paymasters. The pro:npt and cheap system adopted by Cox and Co. will greatly assist persons to obtain what legally belongs to them from the vast accumulated hoar ds in Chancery. It is surpris- ing that the Court of Chancery does not receive many more applications than are already made, and there iff no doubt that when the ease with which inquiries can be made, and rights established. through Messrs. Cox and Co.'s agency, is known, the number of those who secure what only awaits application from the rightful owners will be greatly in- creased. "ENORMOUS FORTUNES LIE .BURIED m the Hi COURT of CHANCERY, amounting to £ K»,000,000, which really belong to the people, including all classes of the community, from the peer to the peasant. The Chancery (Paymaster will be only too glad to pay the money to the rightful owners if they wilt put in their claims. Thew are thousands of people walking about at the presentmotaent who are quite unconscious of the fact that a fortune has descended to them from remote ancestors, and because they have no' knowledge of these ancestors they take no interest in what is really of vital importance to them. We earnestly entreat everyone to send to Messrs. COX & CO., 41, Souths ampton-buildings, Holborn, London,, and obtain their lisi of Christian and Surnames in full of the 50,000 persons to whom ,all this vast wealth belongs. Price Is. 6d. (postal order). And if they .find their names, or those of any ancestors, they should obey the instructions it contains, A fortune may await them. NOTICE.—Our many successes have produced some imitators, but we have no connection whatever with them. rOur list of names is perfectly reliable.

CORRESPONDENCE
CORRESPONDENCE [We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions L of our correspondents.] THE TEACHERS' SALARIES QUESTION. To the Editor of the Chronicle." I Sir,-Your correspondent, Respectably Starved is evidently not the living skeleton he would wish people to believe he is, but a trained man who mdeavours by performing literary gymnastics and conjuring tricks to draw attention from the weighing process which the teachers' scale is undergoing. A.11 who read his letter will admit that he is, as he said, ignorant of the subject. That was the only thing he proved throughout his long letter. But if he really is conscious of his ignorance, as he claims to be, his modesty might have been allowed sufficient sway to persuade him to leave the matter to people who are not so conscious of their ignorance, but who differ from him in so far or they are prepared to offer some- thing in support of their views. It is not fair of Respectably Starved to infer that, according to me, most masters and mistresses get £ 200 and £ 150 respectively, for my first letter simply stated that masters earn about £ 150 to £ 200 and mistresses £ 90 to £ 150. Look carefully at the sham starved statiscian's statements, and you will find my view corroborated. He says, there is not a single master in all the parishes named that gets £ 200." The sly fellow does not say anything about the married masters. In the parishes of Eglwysilan and Llantwit Fardre he points out, there is only ene school that reaches an average attendance of 160. Yet "the average salary of masters is about £1ii5, and that of the mistresses t70 to X72 under the most favourable circumstances." This is what Respect- ably Starved" says. Well, if the average salary of masters is £ 155, some of them must be earning more than £ 155, although their schools are suiall, so they come well within my figure of 150Z. to 2OOl. Then, why should the mistresses, under the most jaoourable circumstances, he paid only 101. to 721. -ltosS than half what the masters get ? Thank you for supplying an instance of the want of levelling." If it is possible to do justice to under-paid teachers without coming upon the already over-burdened ratepayers it is our duty to do it. The sweeping statement that the schools generally do not attain an average of 200 is another specimen of the greasy pole arguments of the person styling himself Respectably Starved." Let us take one school in each Valley to begin with :— Ton Boys' School.—Average attendance; last year (table A of the Report), 234; report "Excellent." Ac- cording to scale, the teacher ought to have earned the following:— J £ fl? £ s. d. j £ £ fcFixed Salary 120 0 0 ..no Schools Fees allowed 7 0 0 For Excellent" Report 10 0 0 One-third of Merit Grant, 38 which is Is per head upon the average f-jR r attendance (known as B) 11 14 0 All Grants under Article E." ifter the first 5s. 3d.

He boasts cf his heated imagi- nation and goes on to prove his conscious ignorance by saying he never saw a rich schoolmaster." Well, such a being is not unknown in these parishes.* If, however, your last week's correspondent is really "respectably starved I am sorry for him, especially as there seems to me no chance ef improving his condition so long as he is unable to open his^ mouth without patting his foot in it. Yours, <fee., ECONOMIST.
Pontypridd Bankruptcy Court.
Pontypridd Bankruptcy Court. Be JOHN HORTON, FBRNDALE.—At this Court on Tuesday (before Mr E. C. Spickett, Registrar), Mr John Horton, fishmonger and fruiterer, Dnffryn- street, Ferndale, was under public examination.— Mr W. R.

Daniel, Official Receiver, reported that the debtor attributed his failure to want of capital, losses on fish and frnit, over- stocking, illness in family, pressure by oreditors, and having to pay costs, lhe debtor was until May 1884, a hawker. He oommenced business at that time without any capital of his own, but he stated that he borrowed £ 40 from his brother. He had kept no books of account, nor any account of his income and expenditure, but stated that his income had been daring the time he was in business about 20s a week, and that his household and per. sonal expenditure had been about 30s a week during the same period. His deficiency account contained the following details:—Loss on mackerel during 1884-5, £ 20; on fruit daring 1884, £40 i and in 1885, J&20; on fresh fish, £ 6; on bacon, J £ 5 17s. 6d.; expenses consequent upon illness of wife and ohildren j £ 36 3s. 6d.; loss on horse and oart, 212 10s. and expenses on County Court summonses, JB11 12s. 6d.—The debtor now stated that he had been very unfortunate. He denied that there had been any transactions between him and his brother with reference to the sale of the stock prior to the b nkroptcy.—Mr Daniel re marked that there was some dissatisfaction amongst the oreditors.—The publio examination was declared closed.
THE IARDY COLLIERY PROSECUTION.
THE IARDY COLLIERY PROSECUTION. At the Pontypridd police-court, on Wednesday, (before Mr Ignatius Williams, Stipendiary, and Mr W. Jones), Mr Williams applied for an adjourn- ment of the cases a ainst the manager and others. He was surprised Mr Simons was not present, for it was really his application. In the test case, Wales against Thomas, Mr Simons had succeeded in getting that case in the Superior Court for argu- m nt. The argument will probably come en in May. T. e cases to be adjourned to 12tk of u ay. If the shot-firing case OOiD't come on the probability is the Court will go on with the chargea for the barometer not being used.

THE ALVATI?)N~aIlMY. For along time past the Salvation Army have felt the want of a place, or of places, to which they could send their officers in order to recruit their health, alter the great strain which is put upon them by the work they are engaged in. From various causes » great number of them are laid aside every week. A large house has now been taken at Brighton and one at Aialiock, to be used as homes of restand Messrs. J. and it. Cory, of Cardiff, have presented the Army with the deeds of a liamlsoine ail I spacious mansion in the WlOlHhla Valley, South Wales, to be used for this purpose. The mansion cost in its erection X25,000 and is situated in the midst ot thirty acres of ground. Accommodation has now been secured for about 100 officers. A few days age as Miss Catherine Booth, now in France, was having supper, a piece of glass got in her throat from a pie she had been eaiing. A doctor was at once called in, and after some difficulty the piece of glass was recovered, but it was too low in the throat to attempt to remove it in the ordinary way. It liar been decided to erect at Nottingham a "Central Sal- tation Cathedral" to commemorate the birthplace of General Booth. About £ 1, G00 has either beett given or promised towards the scheme.
TRAGIC AFFAIR AT BRUSSELS
TRAGIC AFFAIR AT BRUSSELS A Brussels correspondent, telegraphing on Satur- day, says :-Brussels was startled this morning by a crime committed last night. M. Vandersmissen, a Urussels barrister, and one of the representative* of the city, discharged five revolver shots at his wife. A short time ago the public were much surprised on hearing it said that he was suing for a divorce. Yesterday it was said in the law courts that there had been a reconciliation between the husband and wife, putting an end to the suit. This morning the public learned that M. Vandersmissen had en- ured the dwelling of his wife, who naturally had lived apart from him since the divorce suit, that he demanded from her an important letter in connec- tion with the case, and on her refusal, fired five shota at her. One of the wounds is considered mortal, and her death is hourly expected. M. Vandersmis- sen gave himself up, preserving great coolness. He is now in prison. This tragedy assumes some spe- cial importance from the political part played by M. Vandersmissen. When very young, hardly 30, he quarrelled with his family on account of his marri- age with his wife, Alice Renaux, a professional singer at the Brussels Opera. He took up hit resi- dence in a suburb of the capital, and became an ac- tive politician He was one of the founders of the party called Independents, which overthrew the Liberal representatives of Brussels, and brought the Clericals to power. As you see, this may have serious consequences. A partial election is immi- nent, which will show the real tendencies of Liberal and Conservative opinions contending for the repr- sentation of Brussels
A " THRILLING SCENE."
A THRILLING SCENE." An incident truly described as thrilling toofc place at a school meeting held at Collser's Mills, New Jersey, on the 19th of March.—The object of the meeting was to elect a school trustee in room ef one who had retired. It was also understood that an attempt wo'lld be made to oust Miss Louisa Blackman, the teacher; this proceeding being set on foot by ex- Senator Ephraim Empson, the leading Democratic politician of Ocean County. The meet- ing was held in the village school-house, ex-Senator Empson being among those present on the occasion. As the vote was being taken for the new trustee, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and Miss Blackman appeared with a look of determination in her eye and a long birch rod in her hand. It being evident she meant business, every voice was hushed; and the excitement became intense as she leisurely advanced towards ex-Senator Empson, with the up- lifted rod in her hand. Seizing him with an iron grasp, she administered to him before the eyes of the panic-stricken spectators so frightful a castig- nation that he absolutely writhed in agony. Vainly the ex- Senator attempted to ward off the blows, wlii h fell thick and fast, and have, it is feared, left scars that he will carry with him to the grave. Being excessively corpulent, he suffered severely, and was soon unable from exhaustion to continue liis struggles. The painful scene lasted nearly ten ninutes, when Miss luacknian released her victim, uul lett the room with unruffled composure, as noiselessly as she entered it.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF HORSEWHIPPING A CAPTAIN. At the Marylebone Police Court, Mr. Edward Stiebcl, ng-entleman residing at Elm Bank, Carlton lioa l, Putney, surrendered to his bail, charged with assaulting with ? whip Captain Harmer Hardy, re- si ling at I! Warrington Crescent, Maida Vale.— Xiie evidence of Captain Hardy was that he married the prisoner's sister, who died in 1873. Subse- quently lie married again, and family disputes fol- lowed. There had been Chancery proceedings, in which the prisoner was the plaintiff, which had re- ference to the children of the first marriage, and in which prosecutor succeeded. The object of the Chancery proceedings, it was said, had reference to the protection of the children. It was true he wrote a letter to the prisoner, in reply to one re- ceived, in which he accused him of having surrep- titiously opened letters, of having lived in adultery with another man's wife, and of having contracted a bigamous marriage with her. Mr. Walton: This charge of the bigamous marriage involves Mrs, Stiebel, does it not? The Prosecutor Certainly. Mr. Walton: Was that your feeling against Mr. Steibel that you make a charge against his wite ? Captain Hardy No it was against Mr. Steibel, who married his wife while her first husband was living. Mr. Walton D id it not occur to you that this charge about the bigamous marriage involves the honour ot Mrs Stei bel, and do you not think, as a gentleman and a man of honour, that you should withdraw it and apologise ? Captain Hardy No I stand by what I have written. Evidence as to the assault having been given, Mr. Cook committed the prisoner for trial.

Some time ago the parish priest was deprived of his stipend by the Government. He therefore officiated in a small chapel belonging to. the Giraud Factory, at the wish of the manager, M. Fischer, the employes, and inhabitants generally. On the plea that M.
