NEARLY BURIED ALIVE. A startling discovery was made by some workmen engaged in completing a new house in Lyme-road. Leicester. The men were surprised to hear a voice from under the floor pleading pitaeously for a drink of water. A policeman was called, and a man was found lodged in the narrow space between the ground and the flooring. The floor was raised with some difficulty, and after the lapse of many minutes the man. taint, hungry, and dazed, was dragged out. He stated that several days previously he had gone into the house to sleep, and while under the beams he had been securely nailed iz. He knew what was happening, but could not warn the workmen. The man was very respectably dressed, but he declined to give any further account of himself. A letter. apparently from his wife, which was found upon him. staged that she did not wish to see him again. In another hoar the only source of air would have been bricked up. aad in that case the man would oortainWbove,bmn.buried,aAlvo.

"Morning Post" and "Evening Express" I Special Corresporirdent.) (COPYRIGHT.) I SHANGHAI, Saturday. It is reported that two carriages of every train which has arrived at Mukden in the past few days have been filled with dead bodies of Russian soldiers, some of whom had been killed in battle and some frozen to death. The Russian troops who have arrived at Liao-yang from Harbin lately number 50,000. [Press Association Special Service.] I SEOUL, Saturday. The Governor of Haan-heung, on the strength of a. Prefect's report, hasr teJegftbphed to the Japanese Consuls at Songohin and Gensan that 40 Cossacks have arrived at Byangmg, on the Tamen River, and that. 5,000 more are expected. The Oomsul at Syungchin, alarmed aA this news, telegraphed for a vessel to oarry away the Japtunese residents. A steamer was sent from Gecsazi, and arrived at Gemsan this morning. The rumour that 5,000 Russians are follow- iDg, and that their advance is intended to divert the Japanese from the Yalu, is not credited owing to the possibility of a. Japanese landing to cut them off. Russians Again in Korea. I [" Times Special Teloffram, per PressI Association.] TOKID, Sunday. A small force of Russiajis has again made an incursion into the north-east of Korea. Thirty Cossacks have reached Kibju, and are threatening Song-ching, whence the Japanese residents have withdrawn. The movement is not regarded as important in Japan.

I CORONER BLAMES A DOCTOR. I A heated scene between the Manchester city coroner and Dr. Dyas, a local practitioner, took place at an inquest on John Whitehead, aged sixteen months. The child I died from taking a medicine intended for his elder sister, who was suffering from whooping- cough. Alter swallowing the medicine the child was taken to Dr. Dyas in a moribund condition, and he gave it a mixture. The bottle containing the girl's medicine was taken to him by the mother at the same time, but he could not say what it contained, and in the hurry of his work it was consigned to the washtub. The Coroner told the doctor he had done an exceedingly serious thing. He added, You did not examine the child properly. You could not tell whether it was suffering from chlorodyne or bella donna poisoning. You did not even make such an examination as any person of common sense would." Witness: The child was too far gone. It might have died on the way back. A Juror :,If the child was so far gone, did it not make it all the more important that that bottle should be kept? The Coroner: Certainly it does. It is one of the most disgraceful things I ever heard of. It is obstructing the course of justice. The child might as well have been taken to a publican to be treated. Eventually the jury, in giving a verdict of Death from misadventure," considered the doctor had been careless in not keeping the bottle. The Coroner added that he had been delibe- rating whether he ought not to take strong measures in the matter, but thought he would j rest content with what he had said.

PRISON LIFE TOO EASY. I Joseph Winstone. 25, a carman, was in- dicted at West Ham Quarter Sessions for breaking two plate-glass windows at Martin- street, Stratford. Prisoner gave as his reason that he wanted to go back to prison, which, he said, was an easy life. Mr. Sturges: Well, I will take you at yonr word. You will go to penal servitude for three years. Later in the afternoon, however, the Deputy-recorder directed that Wingtone be again put into the dock, and he then told the prisoner that his attention had been called to the fact that he could not pass a sentence of three years' penal servitude for such an offence unlass it was committed between nine o'clock at night and six o'clock in the morn- ing. The sentence would be altered to one of eighteen months, with hard labour. Prisoner (stepping jauntily out of the dock): That is only a sleep.

DEAD DIVER'S BODY RECOVERED. I In the presence of thousands of spectators, mostly women and children, who lined the banks of Boonton, New Jersey, reservoir. Diver Rice succeeded in releasing the imprisoned body of Diver Hoar. The Boonton dam was repaired, and this counter- acted the suction which held Hoar fast. During the afternoon Rice made several descents, and, word having been passed round that the obstacle had at length been over- come, the crowd on the bank became hushed in awe-stricken silence. After being sub- merged for eleven minutes Rice gave the signal to draw up. Thereupon a team of horses dragged Hoar's body to the surface, and Rice followed immediately after. Atten- dants removed Hoar's helmet and found he was dead.

jCRlCKHOWELL GIFTt LADY GLANUSK UWEILS A I TABLET An interesting ceremony took place at Cri-ckhcwell on Saturday evening, when Lady Glanusk publicly unveiled a, tablet which has been placed outside the premises formerly known as the Queen Oriffee-bouse, but now called the "Percy Davies Institution." The coffee-house was built in 1884 by the late Mr. Percy Davies (Portbmawr) in the cause of temperance, there being a public library and a reading-room on the premises. After the unveiling Lady Glanusk expressed the pleasure it gave her to unveil the tablet, which was a record of one of the many kind deeds of those who did so many things for the. benefit of the town.-The Rev. H. P. Somer- fset proposed a vote of thanks to Lady Glanusk, which was seconded by Mr. Thomas Williams, and carried with acclamation.—Lord Glanusk replied on behalf of Lady Glanusk, and said the donors came as strangers, but never ceased from carrying on good work for the benefit of the town and neighbourhood. He hoped the gift of their two old friends-would continue to be a. blessing to the towii.-Lond, cheers were given for Lord and Lady Glanusk, and the proceedings closed. Th& tablet was supplied by Mr. George Hay, Brecon.

SOUTH WALES LAW CASES. CLERK'S GAMBLING IN MINING SHARES. Before Mr. Justice Channell, without a jury, in the King's Bench Division on Saturday, the action of Shaw v. Roberts came on for trial I as a short cause. Mr. Bailbache appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Harrington for defen- dant. Mr. Bailhache said plaintiff was a stock- broker at Swansea, and the action was brought to recover 1190,6s. lid-, balance due to him from defendant, who had also lived at Swansea, on stock and share transactions. Defendant had been speculating in differ- ences, and he set up the Gaming Act as a defence. Plaintiff's answer was that, although it was obvious defendant was speculating in differences, yet plaintiff made bona fide con- tracts in each case, on which he was liable. Mr. Hamilton Sha.w, the plaintiff, gave evi- dence that defendant owed him 11% odd on th-ry closing of accounts. He had made various attempts to obtain the balance due. and, fail- ing that, had to close the account against aefendant. After they commenced business it was apparent to him that defendant wa& speculating in differences, but in each trans- action witness made firm contracts with his London agents on the Stock Exchange, to whom he was liable. Cross-examined, he did not know that defen- dant was only a clerk at some ironworks at Starport. He understood he was an accoun- t-ant in a good position. There was no arrangement with defendant that he was not to be called on to take up any stocks bought- for him. and that he was only to pay differences. Mr. Keller, a London stockbroker, gave evi- dence ai to making bona fide contracts for plairrtrff on the Jjondon Stock Exchange. Mr. William Roberts, the defendant, said he was a, cler k employed at certain ironworks at Starport, at a salary of £200 a year, and up to 1902 resided at Swansea. He made the acquaintance of the plaintiff there, plaintiff having just started business. They started business by witness asking plaintiff if he would buy certain South African mining shares on Iris behalf. Plaintiff said he would be p-teased to do so if witness supplied him with cover" enough to indemnify him in respect of any contracts entered into. Wit- ness agreed, and sent him cover." Nothing was said about him ever being required to take. up shares, as he was simply speculating for a rise. He was never asked to ta.ke up any shares, and recognised no third party in th., transactions. Mr. Justice Channell said defendant had proved plaintiff's case as well as he could have proved it himself. He admitted giving plaintiff cover" to cover plaintiff's risk because he was making himself liable on defendant's account. It was clear that defendant was gambling in differences, but that did not prove that he was gambling with the plaintiff. There must be judgment for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, with costs.

MEETINGS OF MINERS. WESTERN VALLEYS AND THE DEMONSTRATIONS. The monthly council meeting of the Western Valleys miners was held at Abertillery on Saturday, Mr. A. E. Meredith, Abercarn, pre- siding.-The Agent (Mr. W. Brace) reported on disputes at the Celynen, Llanhilleth, and Cwmtillery Collieries, and also with reference to the price-list for the old coal seam at the Vivian Colliery, Ab-ertillery.-It was decided to hold the annual demonstration of the district in June, and it was suggested that, as all the demonstrations were to take place on the same date, there should be an interchange of speakers between the districts. —It was decided to send a deputation to the Abertillery District Council with a view to getting a road made from the Rose Hey worth Colliery towards Blaina to meet the con- venience of workmen residing at Blaina. MERTHYR.

SIR JOHN FRENCH AND NATIONAL DEFENCE. I Lieutenant-general Sir John French visited Folkestone on Saturday to unveil a. tablet placed in the Town-hall in recognition of the local Volunteers who served in the South African war. The gallant general said that the great sacrifices made in the South African war had shown what a great fund of patriotism existed in the Empire. History taught them that great nations conld rally to the call of the Fatherland, as in the Franco-Prussian War. But history could not point to anything like the magnificent spec- tacle provided by the rallying to the Empire's help during the late struggle. All of them (Sir John continued) should do something towards taking their share in the common defence of the country. The great land- owners and great employers of labour could do their share by se-tting free the land for military operations or encouraging those in their employ to do their part.

SANITARY INSTITUTE MEETING AT CARDIFF.

LATE MISS JENNERj OEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN I WENYOE LADY. Acquaint little old lady. with faded?rey or I brown habiliments, a keen, but not unkindly face, and a handbag and a good-sized umbrella-just, such a figure as, had it come under the notice of Charles Diokens, he would certainly have added to his list of original characters. Such was Miss Jermer, whose once familiar figure will never more be seen in western Wales. The little lady had a chequered career; but now she is at peace, with all her eccentricities which helped to complete the portrait we have drawn I above. Miss Jenner was distinguished for her charitable motives, but, above all, for her eager and unwearied pertinacity, the latter fact being only too painfaHy known to the higher legal authorities of this kingdom. Gertrude Jenner was born in 1835, at Wenvoe Castle, and was the daughter of the late Robert Jenner, connected, we believe, with the illustrious phystcian of that name, who bad so much to do with the adoption of vaccination in England. More than forty years ago certain events occurred m the Jenner family which led the subject of this notice to believe that she had been unfairly deprived of -her rights in con- nection with the Wenvoe Estate, and from that time on she became a positive terror to the justices of the High Court, never failing in season and out of season to press her grie- vances with a skill which increaeed as every year added to her familiarity with the tor- tuous ways of legal procedure. Her efforts wers ingenious and pertinacious, but they were rtexifr crowned with even the shadow of success. Her Wenvoe agitation extended also to a conflict with, the ororseers, and she frequently figured in the newspapers, either of the reports or the correspondence columns. Miss Jenner's lengthy legal campaign really interested no one but herself, and, now that she is dead, it will be anon forgotten. The public will prefer to retnember the eager, though often eccentric, efforts she made in many a good cause, now Worrying the Govern- ment about the reduction of sentences passed on young women, anon collecting for the funds in connection with some great colliery disaster. Whatever her mission she was a picturesque. albeit a pathetic figure, end we are unlikely to look upon her like again. Miss Jenner lived at Typica, a cottage on the Wenvoe Estate, and there, she ended her queer, troublous little life.

CARDIFF QUARTER SESSIONS I INSURANCE AGENT TWICE TRIED I AND ACQUITTED. At Cardiff Quarter Sessions on Saturday the hearing was resumed of the charges against Herbert Thomas, 34, insurance agent, of embezzling about JE4. the property of his employers, the London, Ed in burgh, and Glasgow Assurance Company, Limited; and of obtaining from Kate Gutheridge the sum of 4s. 2d. by false pretenoes. Mr. Arthur Lewis prosecuted (on the instruction of Mr. W. H. Brown, Bristol), and for the defence Mr. Ivor Bowen. was briefed by Messrs. Lewie Morgan and Box. The case had been remitted from the last sessions, when the jury did not agree, prisoner in the meantime having been reieased on bail. The defence was that pri- soner, having been dismissed from his employ- ment, retained the money in consideration of an account which he had against the oom- pany. Counsel on both aides having addressed the jury on Saturday, and the Recorder hav- ing summed up, a verdict of Not guilty" was returned, and the prisoner was at once discharged. I HIS FIRST OFFENCE. I Mattfhew O'Neil, 39, labourer, wae charged with stealing from the steamship Ettrick, lying at Cardiff Docks, a bladder of lard on March. 15. Mr. St. John Fraacie-Wirtiams (in- structed by Mr. J. H. Morgan) proqu-cuted.- The prisoner was found guilty, but, it being a first offence, be was bound over. INCORRIGIBLE BOGTJE. I I Mmona Beevan, Z4, law'T. was sentenced I to six months' hard labour as an incorrigible rogue, he having already been convicted of living on innnoral earnings.—Richard Doyle was similarly charged, and received a like sentence.—Mr. Gwyn Morris (instructed by Mr. J. IL Morgan) prosmuted in each ease. I GAOL FOR NOT ASSISTING POLICE. I Dd. Fish, nineteen, labouller. was charged with refusing to assist poldce-sergeant Harry Thomas and Police-coiisfcafole Davies when called upon on February 15- The police were taking a man in custody in HolmesdaJe- stneet, who kicked the constable severely. Mr. Morgan Morgan prosecuted (on the in- struction of Mr. J. H. Morgan), and prisoner was sentenced to three weeks imprisonment. CONVICTION QUASHED. Edward Lewis, 43. tTiMMOr- appealed against a sentence of two months' hard labour for an aaleged aggravated assault on his wife, Hannah, on January 26. Mr. Arthur Lewis (instructed by Messrs. David and Evans) appeared for the appellant. The respondent did not appear, and was not represented. The conviction was quashed, no order being made as to costs.

I SWANSEA DEAF MUTES' HONEY- MOON. The two deaf-mutes whosy 3marriage was recently recorded have just returned to Swan- sea after a happy honeymoon at Resolvcn. The bridegroom is David Griffiths, a. com- positor, and the bride was a Miss Edith Evans. "We have had a delightful time." wrote the bridegroom in the course of an inter- view (conducted by means of written ques- tions and answers). We can talk on our fingers quite as quickly as people can ta4k who have speech. I shall never have to com- plain of my wife's tongue. as I suppose some husba<nda have." Griffiths finds no difficulty in going through life without hearing or speech. When he wants to let anyone know what i6 passing through his mind. or should he wish to make a. purchase, he conveys hJ? meaning by writ- ing. Not knowing what the sound of he human voice is like, he is unable to realise his deprivation, and, like most- of the blind. he has cultivated a homely philosophy that makes for happiness and contentment. "Enjoy life?" Griffiths was surprised at the question. R&tber!- he wrote, and his features showed thait he was writing the truth. "And," he added, "I am happier now, in my mar- riage, than ever I was I oa.n read." he went on, I can work, and make known my wante. What more can a. man desire? My affliction has never troubled me. though, of course. I should like to be as others are. Yet. I get on very well as I I am." The deaf and dmnb bridr is the daughter of an insurance superintendent, and she and her husband are pxceptionally well edu- cated." to quote the words of the pri-neapa of the Royal Cambrian Institution for the! Deaf and Dumb at Swansea, where they wore trained. It was while they were both at the institution that the romantic attachment I sprang up.

RHONDDA TRAGEDY SAID TO HAVE BEEN DUE TO JEALOUSY. The man Benjamin Prothero, who on Satur- day morning attacked his wife with a pruning- knife at 39. Baglan-street, Penyrenglyn, Tre- herbert, inflicting very serious injuries, and who afterwards cut his own throat, is still in Cardiff Infirmary, where he is in the custody of the police. Hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mrs. Prothero lies in a precarious condition at Treherbert, but was somewhat better yesterday. STATEMENT BY THE HOUSE SURGEON. I Dr. Samuel, house surgeon at the infirmary, speaking of Prothero's injuries, said that the wind-pipe had been cut somewhat, and that the larynx was also injured- He would not like to say what the result would be, as it was always difficult to tell in such cases whether inflammation would set in. But so far as the first danger—hemorrhage—was con- cerned. Prothero seemed to have got over that very well. LATEST DETAILS. I From inquiries made by our representative on Sunday it appears that Mrs. Prothero got very unwell on Sunday morning about ten, and continued very ill until about mid-day, ivrhen she dropped off to sleep; when she .awoke she appeared considerably refreshed. (She vomited a quantity of blood, which naturally had a. tendency to make her unwell. She is carefully attended to by Mrs. Edmunds, who has only left her patient's teide for a matter of four hours since the ^tragedy. Interviewed by our representative, 'Dr. IFKiimon stated that Mrs. Prothero's iccwK&tion was improving, it not having been •necessary to make any operation, ae was ibong-nt at first. He now entertains hope of recovery. assuming her strength is main- tained. Though quitc conscious all through. sbe was -not told until to-day that her husband had been taken a.way. When it was grnjrgeerted on Saturday that he should be brought in from the house* next door she expressed, signs of disapproval, but on Sunday she made inquiries for him, stating that she would like to see him. The neighbours are of the opinion that she is inclined to forgive him. and that she wouid yet live with him, assuming that both recovered. Further inquiries as to what may he the motive of the crime elicit the fact that Pro- "tb9ro was exceedingly jealous of his wife, continually suspecting her of infidelity. To such an extent was this the case that it is stated be would go to a grove beyond the house where he could command a view of the door and watch for hours to see if any- one would enter the house. He would also occasionally charge young men with "going after" his wife, and entirely without any reason. There are some who state that the crime was a premeditated one, that- it was known to the woman herself that her husband bad a knife or a. razor ready at hand to perpetrate the deed which he has now endeavoured to accomplish, and that it was owing to her knowing this that she had asked one of her neighbours to allow her husband to come in and help her in oase she called out Murder.- It appears that he was also labouring under the delusion that his father would leave some of his property to the victim. It is stated by some that between drink and jealousy his mind must have been nnhinged though be appeared to be all right on the night preceding the tragedy, when be and his wife attended a prayer meeting at the house of his late father—the 'evening pre- ceding the latter's burial. By the will of Prothero's father the pro- perty is pretty evenly divided between the children, but is held in trust, and the bene- ficiaries. therefore, can only use the incre- ment. derivable from the estate. As yet it is uixierstood that Prothero has not been charged by the police with any specific offence, and. of course, so far. the condition of the woman does not admit her making any deposit/ions. The espot where the tragedy occurred was on Sunday the rendezvous of a large number of morbid sightseers. Saturday night also large crowds congregated outside, and many a cyclist cookl be seen riding as far as the house and then turning back again. Ivor Thomas, the well-known boxer, is deserving of high praise for the plucky man- ner in which he acted, and but for bis promp- titnde the tragedy might have been much more serious. FUNERAL OF PROTHERO'S FATHER. I Reference has already been made to the prisoner's respectable family connections and to the fact that his father was lying dead and awaiting burial at the time when the ghastly scene was being enacted next door. The funeral of the father, Mr. David Pro- thero, aged 75 years, took place on Saturday afternoon, when the mortal remains of the old man were interred in the Treorky Ceme- tery. Among those present were the Rev. J. D. Evans (vicar of Treherbert) and the Rev. R. T. Howell (curate), who of&ciated a;t the house and at the graveside; Alderman E. H. Davies, J.P., Pentre; the Rev. J. H. Harris, Mr. Morgan, auctioneer, Mountain Ash; Mr. T. Millward, solicitor; Mr. John Morgan. Ty- nefwydd Farm (brother of the late Alderman W. H. Morgan); Mr. James Draper, and mem- bers of the local Friendly Society lrxlge. of which deceased was a member; the three sons and two daughters of the deceased, several grand-children, and a large gathering of the residents of the neighbourhood. The second wife of the departed (whom he had married a few years ago) was, owing to an accident recently sustained, confined to her bed, and, tberefore, unable to be at the funeral.

ANOTHER NAVAL MISHAP. FIVE MEN INJURED BY A BURST PROJECTILE. While the French cruiser Forbin was steaming from Rochefort to Brest a temporary panic was caused by the bursting of a five-and-a-half-inch pro- jectile in the magazine.

THE SUNKEN. SUBMARINE. LORD SELBORNE DESCRIBES HOW I THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. Lord Selborne on Saturday irnveiled a tablet at Bath to the memory of lJOro Nelson, who for a time resided in the city. The First Lord of the Admiralty said that it was now known exactly how the accident to submarine Ai oocurred. The officer in charge ought at frequent intervals to have scanned the horizon. bnt he had orders to look out for the torpedo cruiser Juno. In his amriety to observe her he forgot too long to scan the horizon, and wfoat followed would be told exactly. as there had been recovered from the wreck the remains of the opticaJ tube and part of the conning tower, with marka enabling the aocideat to be reconstituted. The officer suddenly saw looming in the field of vision the bows of a great ship. He rapidly turned hie tube in the direction, and saw that the ship was right on top of him. He made his submarine dive, and, to show the tragedy of the thing, it appeared tha-t there were only three seconds between the crew and safety. Three seconds more, it was believed, they would have been saved. Those three seconds just misaed, and so the submarine was run down, and her crew perished. This was one of the realities of naval life.

ANARCHIST PLOT AT MARSEILLES. An Anarchies plot has been discovered at Marseilles, and has resulted in the arrest of three men. From the first informa- tion obtained it appears that a harber. named Miehaeli Giovanni, at a meeting held in a bar in the Rue des Vignes, in the Cape- lotte quarter, announced his intention of killing President Loubet during bis visit to Italy. A search in the bar by the Procurator of the Republic resulted in the discovery of a chromo-lithograph representing the review to be held on July 14 by the President, the word "MoTte" being written aoroes M. Loubet's face. An Italian, named Oarzioli, who wrote the word has been arrested, as well as Pomine. the proprietor of the bar. Searches have now been made at the dwellings of these men and of their Anarchist comrades.— Reuter.

DISTRICT COUNCILS. 1 CHEPSTOW. ISOLATION HOSPITAL CHARACTERISED A WHITE ELEPHANT. The first meeting of the new Rural Council of Chepstow was held on Saturday, when the chairman and vice-chairman (Mr. E. C. Carre and Mr. B. Berry) were unanimously re- elected.—The Rev. W. H. Williams made the financial statement, showing the amount required for the year to be 13,000, for which he proposed a rate of lB. 2d. in the 9. In his remarks Mr. Williams mentioned that they had to supply £ 500 for the isolation hospital, which he characterised as a white elephant. He pointed out in regard to road maintenance that four years ago, before the purchase of the steam-roner, the expenditure was LL900, but now it was £ 3.000.—The pro- posed rate was agreed to.

U,WYl\yPIA. The vicar-(the Rev. R. W. Evans, Llwynypia) was in the chair. The accounts for the past year were passed, the total receipts amount- ing to EW Sfc. nd. Last Easter the com- municants exceeded those of previous years, and the extension of St. Andrew's, which on several occasions was not large enough to accommodate all. win probably be started at an early date. At St., Thomas's (Clydach YaJc) there still remained a balance of L163 11e. lid. to pay off for the organ fund. towards which Miss Thomas (Liwynmadoc) had con- tributed £00. At tbe Ynyscvnon Mission- room the accounts showed a balance in hand of fA3 96. 10d., which will go to building a new church in that district.

He wished to thank Mr. Evans, the landlord, for his kindness in providing them with the room. The meeting was in sym- pathy with the Ynyscynon members, and promised to assist them. GLYNTAFF CHURCH, TREPOREST. Mr. William Jone-,Powell, vicar's warden. presented his acnual statement of accounts which showed that the income from offerto-i ries had been L105 S5. 9d., and the expenditure &% 9K. 6d., lea-virrg a balance in hand, after meeting all liabilities of £8 14; 3d. This was considered highly satisfactory, and the balance-sheet was approved and adopted unanimously. A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Powell. and. on the motion of the rector, the thanks of the meeting were ex- tended to Mra. Edward Jones for the success- ful result of her efforts in connection with the needlework guild.

= NO TROUBLE EXPECTED TO ARISE FROI PASSIVE REBIBTEBS. The first meeting of the new Chepstow Beard of Guardians was held on Saturday, when Mr. Henry Clay temporarily presided over a crowded attendance.—Mr. Godfrey Seys and Mr. H. Hastings Clay were unani- mously re-elected chairman and vice-chair- man respe&ively.-In regard to the question of co-opting two members, the Rev. W. H. Williams protested strongly against the can- vassing which had been going on for the last week, and proposed that there should be no co-option for the present, but he was out- voted. For the Monmouthshire section Miss Lawrence (Chepstow) was co-opted by 43 votes to Mr. G. Dewdney's six and Mr. C. W. Whalley's three. For the Gloucestershire portion Mrs. Samuel Barnard, of Lydney. was co-opted by 30 votes, the Rev. R. C. Lynch- Blosse obtaining eighteen votes.—A commu- nication was received from the Monmouth- shire County Council in reference to the Education Act. stating that, in consequence of the postponement of the "appointed day," they did not propose to issue a precept for educational purposes until September. In their estimates the board made an estimate of a sixpenny rate to meet the county council call, but, aa the precepts had not been actually issued, the Rev. W. H. Williams pro- posed that they should be issued for 3d. in the £ less. pointing out that there might be trouble with passive registers if they called for more than was required.—Mr. Perry seconded.—The Chairman pointed out that there would be no difficulty with passive registers, because the overseers would not issue the rate for education, it being all collected under one general head.—The Clerk: There are none in the district; they have more sense.-The Rev. Silas Charles (a new member): I beg pardon; I am a passive resister.-The Clerk: I am sorry.-The pro- position was agreed to.

ARCHDEACON EDMONDES'S LONG SER- VICE AS CHAIRMAN. The first meeting of the Bridgend and Cow- bridge Guardians was held at the workhouse* Bridgend on Saturday. Mr. T. C. Jones (Ponty rbil) was voted to the chair pro tem.-In moving t.be re-appointment of the Ven. Arch- deacon Bdmondes as chairman, Mr. T. C. Jones referred to his wide experience in Poor-law administration, and said he could always be relied upon as a safe guide.—Mr. T. Canniff (Gilfach Goch) seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. Archdeacon Edmondes thanked them heartily for the con- fidence reposed in him over 21 years. Mr. J. I. D. Nicholl moved, and Mr. L. G. Jones seconded the re-appointment of Mr. Thomas Rees as first vice-chairman.Vr. D. H. Price moved an amendment and Mr. Edward Edwards seconded that Mr. T. C.

SPORT OF THE DAY Drumcree, last year's GTand National win- ner, has been turned out for the summer. Mr. George Fleming, at one time a promi- nent turf commission agent, died on Friday last. Lady Violet, who broke one of her forelegs just below the knee recently, has succumbed to the effects of the injtrry. I Frank Hartigan and Percy Woodland will ride in France during the summer for patrons of Eugene Leigh's stable. Backers of Sir Laddo a.t Derby on Saturday were strongly of opinion that he ought to have got comfortably home instead of being beaten a head by Thoas. BreweT tried his City and Suburban candi- date. Retrieve, over a mile at Newmarket, when the son of Orme and Seek and Find finished two lengths behind Camphor, Emu being third and Portman lfet. With the Indian racing season, over, the chief owners there, among whom the Hon. A. Apcar heads the list, are looking forward to next year's Viceroy's OnP. and doubtless some of the late Sir Blunoell Maple's horge6 will be stmt out with that in view. F. Mason, the steeplechase jockey, has had considerably more mounts than any other of his confreres, but actually the best average is that of George Williamson. He has this, season almost exclusively ridden for Jarris's I stable, which has won so many races. The jockey's reocrd is eleven wins out of 26 mounts.

I BOARDS OF GUARDIANS. I CARDIFF. XEMBEB £ MIXDFUL OF THE RATEPAYERS. The fust meeting of the Cardiff Board of Gnrnxii-aos after the elections and the changes they have brought about was held on Satur- day at the workhoose, Mr. O. H. Jones (ebiair- niiwi) jweekliue- Mr. O. H. Jones was re-eiected chairman and the Rev. J. R. Buckley vice- chairman for the ensuing year.—The Chair- man intimated that if the board thought fit they oould oo-opt two members from outside. They had never done so, and he did not see any reason why they should do so now.-No motion was proposed, and the nert bnsineBB was proceeded wtth. The Vice-ehairmaii (the Rev. J. R- Boekley) made some remarks upon the report of the hoard's architect (Mr. Edwin Seward) setting forth the alterations at Elv. which have been approved by the building committee in a re- port that was submitted and adopted. The report (said the Tioe-charrman i was in the hands of the guardians, and wae an interest- ing document, showing the thoroughness with which the work had been carried out by the guardians, and also the economy that had been practised. There were three points to be specially noted. In the ftrst place, it was established by the architect that through using their own freehold property at Ely a large expenditure for the pro-chase of land had been avoided. Then if they compared the cost of the homes at Ely with the cost of similar homes in other unions, they found there had been no wasteful expenditure. that the guardians had only done what wae right, and that in the prat they had shown fore- sight in anticipating the time to come when Ely Schools would be transforrrfed into an auxiliary workhouse. The cost of the new institution at Eh- was £ 12.000, whereat* a new worrkboufe wouid naye meant an outlay of £ 40.000, or. possibly. £ 50.000, so that a. great saving had been effected. The facts proved that the building eommittee bad paid great attention to its duties, and that the guar- dians had been mindful of the ratepayers in the expenditure of public money. (Cheers.) It was reported that. Mr. D. W. Thomas, relieving offioer for Booth Dietrict. wae suffer- ing from nervous prmtratkjn. the result of over-work, and the boifwd gseve him leave of absence for a month w recuperate. There was temporarily appointed in his place Mr. Gwilym R. Loagher (IIan carfan). who. for the last few days. has satisfactorily discharged the duties for Mr. Thomas. Mr. Laugher's ejection was proposed by Mr. P. J. Bearoii, seconded by 1tr. R. Sutherland, and supported by Mr. John Enoch, ail of whom spoke in highly appreciative terms, and the appocnt- T. Eraser I NEWPORT. I TOWN OOUffiCELJjORS AND THE ASSESS- MENT COMMITTEE. The ftmt meeting of the newly-eJected board of guardians for the Newport Union wa3 held on Saturday at the board-room. Mr. Thomas Dutfield was re-elected chairman, and Mr. W. H. Brown Yioe-chairman. The Rev. D. B. Jones and Alderman George Jones were reo appointed additional -ioe-chairmen. It was reported that during the past two weeks there had been a great increase in vagrancy. 339 vagrants having applied for per- mission to enter the casual ward, increase of 93 on the corresponding period of last year. Owing to the lack of accommodation at the I casual ward, 4a men had been sent to lodging- houses. When the guardians came to the appoint- ment of the assessment committee, it was de- cided to elect nine of the twelve without oppo- sition. On the election of the other three. Mr. A. J. Stevens, J.P., who was elected as a new guardian at the recent election, said that at the present time the Newport Town Council was the biggest trading concern in Newport, and he suggested it was not fair that they should assess tlieir own property. With that object in view he proposed that no guardians who were members of the town council should be elected to the assessment corrimittee.-Tlie. Rev. Watkin Dalies seconded. —Mr. W. H. Brown said if that, principle were accepted, they would have no persons en- gaged in trade on the assessment committee.- The proposal only received five votes, and was, consequently defeated. A baJlot was taken for the vacant places, and in the end the committee was constituted as Thomas Dutfield, E. Hart- ley, W. H. Brown. T. Goldsworthy. George Jones. Edward Davies, David Treasure, E. C. Outfield, John Williams, R. T. James, and T BoÆter

I FISHING FLEET'S PERIL. Hundreds of spectators witnessed some exciting scenes at Whitby. The fishing fleet was returning, when a heavy sea arose. and access to the harbour became well-nigh impossible. Several boats entered safely, but the Lady Morris was swamped, the crew being precipitated into the waves. The lifeboat was launched, and. deepite the sea which broke over her. effected a heroic rescue. The other craft were safely harboured with the assis- tance of the lifeboat. Two, however, fearing the dangers of the harbotir bar, were sig- nalled off by those on shore, and proceeded north in the endeavour to effect a landing at Runswiek Bay.

PROPOSED WELSH MEDICAL DrnKER IN LONDON. Arrangements are being made for the hold- ing of a batKjueet in London of WoIeh medi- caJ men.

Several leading doctors not only in London, but throughout the country, have al-ready signified their approval of the scheme and their willingness to attend the banquet. A further announcement may be expected in the course of a few days.
