I LLANTRISANT WILLI INTERESTING CASE AT THE ASSIZES. At Glamorgan assizes this morning, before Sir. Justice Bray and a. jury, the trial of the action was renewed respecting the will of the late Mr. Isaac Evans, cattle dealer, Llan- trisant, in which the deceased's sister, Mrs. Walking, endeavoured to establish a more recent 'will than that supported by defen- dant, a niece, Mrs. Cathcrinle Jane Thomas. Mr. Abel Thomas, K.O., and Mr. Rhys Wil- liams, were for plaintiff, and Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C., and Mr. KeHy for the defen- dant. Ifr. Abel Thomas prooooded to call farther evidence for the plaintiff. Mr. Evan Llewellyn, farmer, of Llantrieant, said he was present when the second will was written out by William Jones and signed by the deceased. He eaid he was sound of mind I and capable of business. Cross-examined by Mr. S. T. Evans, he said I he had not known deceased to ramble in his thoughts. He remembered deceased one even. ing whilst dozing in his chair asking witness I how hia father was. Witness said his father had been dead many years, and deceased at once said, "Oh, of course, am I talking aborrt?" He never heard deceased menticn the first will. William Jones, pianoforte dealer, Ponty- pridd, said the deceased was in the habit of visiting his liouoe frequently, and called ahout two or three times a week during the four or five months before he died. His wife was niece to deceased. Witness at first objected to make the will, but afterwards consented, e described the visit to the house with the Rev. M. Ltv/ie. Deceased gave con- sideration to the bequest he made. Witness understood him to say that Catherine Jane Thomas was to have 400, and he wrote that down, then LZW for his, the witness's wife; £100 to several other relatives including Mrs. Watlrins and her two song, when he read the will over deceased pulled him up at the outset with regard to the bequest to Mrs, Thomas, and said he had said XIOD, and witness PROCEEDED lO It K-WRITE THE WLLT. I When u; wa* imisned it was read and explained to deceased by the Rev. Mr. Lewie in WeMi, and iMl". Lewis then handed the pen to deceased and f.„ it wllilst he made his mark. Witness had asked deceased if he was going to give anything to little Mary, the daughter of Catherine Thomas, as he believed deceased had in a previous will left her his residence. It appeared( however. that the house was left by the will to Catherine Thorny. He now ordered t.ha.t it should be sold after asking witness if he would like to have it. aTat ° of ?il? were then produced Ln 00urt, viz., t? complied cue ?nd two in •i,r \'ïit,ness ?? m? mi?kes.. Mr T Pir'« had ?? ?? that he could ooia,ect  re-write th?m. The copies we? handed ? the ju?, who marked them. De,ce"ed "fter mentioning t? bequ? ?id he would like the residue to be divided equally amongst his relatives. By Mr. I>ecea»sed was perfectly thowUl before and after the daLe of Cros&axamined by Mr. Evans, he denied ?bo-t this his °w? aotion a.nd not 11m, w Watkins. He could not say why Mrs. Watkins ad not come to court about it. He waa II,ware that Mm. Watkins had informed her solicitor that she did not want to proceed in the matter. The letter produced wao not in her writing, as ehe could not write. Yi r. Spiokett told him ho had received it, and told him its purport. Mr. Evans read the letter in question, which ran:- In reply to your letter, I shall have nothing to do with that last wiH, as I believe the finst will was his own.-M'aJ"g:a,rot Watkins. Witness, in further crose-exa-minatiom, said that the best bequest to any relative, exoept witness's wife, was £100, and she got £ 250. Mr. Eva/us: Was there any reassou whatever why she should receive more than anybody eiee?—Yee. Deceased said that he wished toO ma £ «s up for my wife not receiving anything when her other uncle died previously. But she know about that when he made the first will, iera-ving her only £ 100?—Yes, but it madg no diifereEce to the amount my wife would get because she was by the first will one of four residuary legatees, whereas by the second will the residue was left amongst about twelve. You have made up the figures. How much was deceased worth?—He told me HE WAS WORTH £ 1,850. (Proceeding.)

BEER, THE GIFT OF GOD. The Rev.

In,teMI-Mn,M -was the abu% of drink, not the use of it. He felt that, as a clergy-nan, his position might appear invidious, but he looked on beer as a gift of God.

MAD REVIVALISTS. I Dancing Fanatics from America. AMAZING SCENES LIKE BEDLAM 1, LET LOOSE. All new Revival religions pale into sheer nothingness before the amazing acrobatic performances of the American Pentecostal Dancers, who took London by storm last night. These glowing Revivalists h-ave descended upon the Camberwell Baths from a place they call Denver, Colorado. There was no water ia the baths last night; but the crowded and amazed and hilarious audience which assembled to witness the oly Dancte revived" were informed that those same baths were filled with fire. Wih<at happened afterwards almost passes ?oH?f .w. A Modest Beginning. I Upon a red-baize platform appeared from I the dim dressing-rooms four very severely- dressed ladies, whose poke bonnets and w'hite bows pictured them as prim hospital nurses. They were led on by a. stout, mas- culine woman in black, and a thin rush-like damsel in brown. Behind marched two men. The first was Mr Obadiah Kent-White—a man with the features and the mutton-chop whiskers of a typical coachman. The second was the Rev. H. L. Harvey—tallish, thin- black-haired and aseitoetiio. Kent-White is the Boss, The stout lady eat down at the piano, and began tumtumming a sort of simple prelude, while all the dressing boxes opposite filled up with an eager audience. The beginning was quiet enough. The ladiee in the poke bonnets stood up like sticks, with their arms straight down their sides, and their faces wooden—quite wooden. But all of a sudden the stout lady began to sing, the sesibhetic man b-agan to wag his hymn-book in the adr, Obadiah waved a square toe in the air, and the four demure ladies in poke bonnets began to jig up and down, as though somebody was winding them up behind. I am walking in His presence Satisfied sang tha lady of masculine build. Satisfied, SATISFIED! yelled the chorue. And then the dance, from small beginnings, whirled into amaing mad- ness. The demure girls leaped like spring bucks into the warm air of the Garaberwell PubMo Baths. ] I Dance of Shrieking Madneês. Tum-tum-tum, went the piano. The second venae rang out, and then the slim young lady, russet-clad, oame to the front of the stage, flung out her arms, and yelled: Yow Yow Yow Then she flung herself into a dajioa of shrieking madnes&Inaniae high-kicking which would t&ke away the broath of Mr. Pinero himself. She danoed a fDt bigh to every inch of her oonipanious, more modest steps. Obadiah caught the infection, and though his knees crea-ked a bit, he performed a very capable cellar-flap, while the black-haired revivalist joined in with a pae-de-musLc hall. As he danoed he groaned in thje spirit. Yeeeee-yesap screamed the girl tn brown; and at one lea-V she was among the astonished &udiene&—boM)Ntg about like a. marionette. I The Baths In an Unroar. .n -n In a few moments the big bath was in a.n uproar. A burly m, of the navvy breed, sprang down from one of the dressing boxes, waving a huge walking-stick in the air. He joined the girl in brown, and piroutted so gracefully around her that she sped by him like a. frightened hare, and danced back upon the platform. Obadiah emitted falsetto instructions to turn the man out. Two bath attendants hurried up and obeyed the command, their prisoner doing a final Highland fling on the doorstep. Out of sheer diagust several people left the plaoe. The stout lady shook a warning finger at them and yelled, hoarse with passion: Some people who come hyar for cur'oeity are going to ttremmle an' quake before we're done with 'em! Oh, Lord, giive 'em such a dose of the Mixture—right now The heavenly mixture, 0, Lord! There are souls here who will weep and wail and gnash their teeth m the regions of the damned—sure! I can see the burnin' lake where they're goin' to be thrust in t Smite the rock! Smite the rook! SMITE the rcck! I Reviving the Holy Dance. Delirious frenzies of dancing followed: the piano jangled; and Obadiab excelled him- self once more. He squeked out that he and his precious lot were reviving the Holy Dance; and didn't &eem to care a, bit when OI!le of OaanfberweH'e dhoaen-ø. gentleman wit-h coal dust on his face—growled out, "You oughter be ashimed of yourselves!" In the fervour of more dancing, another gentleman caugtot the public-house spirit of the scene; and skipped a minute in front of the piano, e had his little dlay-and was gone; pulled along by a. bartJh-man, and shoved behind by the Rev. and Terpsichorean Mr. Harvey. After this, the fat lady came forward, and preached—preached until she was blue in the face and foaming at the mouth. There never was a madder soul out of Bedlam. She began pianissimo; and worked herself up into a raging torrent, all about Hell and D"damnation and Brimstone. Behind her danced the Holy Marionefties in perfervid a.nd extremely foolish accom- paniment. To one gentleman Who smiled incredu- lously at her. she cried, I can see the burn-1 ing lake where yon're goin' Ho! replied the gentleman, making a grab at his hat. Dou you? Then I'm orf! He went. The lady's stories of unrepentant sinners were mostly much too fiery for publication.

"GOSPEL OF LOVE." THE SOCIAL LIFE OF MAROY TRANSFORMED. As the reault of the religious revival m 'the Rhondda, pra.yer meetings are now held daily underground at some of the colleries. Ton Peaitre baa, between Nazareth, Bethania., and Hebron Chapels, had between 200 converts in nine days. Yesterday Mr. Evan Roberts preached his Gospel of Love" at Pentre to a crowded congregation. The revivalist was in a cheerful, aggres- sively cheerful mood. He took the Diolch iddo" of one of the verses of the hymn sung as a kind of text (writes our special correspondent), and dealt upon the necessity for unstinted, active, cheerful gratitude to God.He compared the staite of the heathen with the state of Wales, and pictured in forcible words the,surprise which he felt at the fact that so many in Wales rejected the Love of Christ. Practically applying this to the busi- ness of every-day life, the speaker dwelt upon the advantages, even from a temporal point of view, of absolute faith in God. It was not until the Church itself was fully imbued with faith that the pagan would receive the blfessinga of the Word. Many who sang, leau, Iesu, 'rwyt ti'n ddigon" I ("Jesus, Jesus, all-sufficient") could not pos- sibly believe what they were singing, or they would not go to the places which they fre- ¡ quented. They were, therefore, hypocritical in singing it. Suddenly a voice from the rostrum breaks in with music, and the congregation begin singing. "Duw mawt- o rhyfeddodau maitV and the rolling basses are heard as they have been heard at so many places. But Mr. Evan Roberta is not satisfied. He actually tells the people that they lack the spirit of gratitude. They had, he said, been fervent and spirited in their appeal for His presence, whereas now they sang a triumphant song of praise as if they were half-hearted. Of course, there was a second rendering of the hymn, with much more life and energy in it, and the revivalist took up the thread of his dis- course aa if nothing had happened. Such was the meeting until the appeal for converts and testimonies came. However, as the interruptions to Mr. Roberts's speech had come, so did the inter. ruptions come even to the work of reciting verses and giving testimonies. The congre- gation on this particular night seemed to be full of singing, but it was noticeable that it was very fine and fervent singing, tenderer than has been tihe case in any other place The hymn— 0, yr Oen, yr addfwyn Oen," was Bung with thrilling effect, and even though it interrupted a peculiarly impressive portion of the service, the young revivalist simply clapped his hands and cried out "Ardderchog." Mardy Transformed, 1 One old man got up, and in the course of I his testimony 4aid he had been raised from I the terrible pit of sin and placed upon a rock. No sooner had this been said than the huge congregation began singing with intense fervour- Rock of Ages cleft for me." During one portion of the proceedings some of the people in the congregation cried "Hush!" when more than oneepoke a.t a time or when a singer interrupted Mr. Roberts bimiaelf, whereupon Mr. Roberts said he hoped they would not indulge in any such interruptions as crying "Hush" to anybody. If a drunken ma.n had come forward to sing or say anything he would not have inter- rur/ted him, because, in his exparienoe, he bad known a drunkon man coming in to a service and yet being eaved within a quarter of an hour, for the Spirit sobered even a drunken men. "Therefore," he said, "in a.ny case dd&t way 'Hush' to aayone." Ait an overflow meeting which was held in Nazareth Chapel an old mn from Mardy stated that there were some wonderful things going on at Mardy. Be had been a professing Christian for upwards of 50 years, but had never experienced anything like this in all his life. People at Marrdy had been praying for an outpouring of the Spirit, but when it came they did not understand. They were puzzled by it, more so, perhaps, because it did not seem to have come first to the elder and more experienced members of the Churches, but to the younger element. The fact, how- ever, was very remarkable. Not only had the Churches been changed, but the place alto- gether had been transformed, and the social life of the people had been ohanged-intead of comic songs and ribald jokes the whole place now resounded with hymns of praise. With regard to the Haintrisant meeting held by Mr. Eva.n Roberts, I understand that he had not much time there. The meeting had been going on for some time prior to his arrival, but, as is often the caset after he came be found things somewhat cold. But before he left there was evidence of consider- able warmth of feeling, and although he came away bsfore the meeting had been brought to a. close, fifteen converts had bean announced. SIR MARCHANT WILLIAMS INTER- I VIEWED. 1 Great Diminution in Poiioe-Court Work! Sir Marchant Williams .says that there is a striking diminution in his work as stipen- diary magistrate as a result of the revival. "The list at the Aberdare Police-court was a very short one on Tuesday," he informed a representative, "and it was disposed of in the remarkably short time of less than three- quarters of an hour. There has been an extraordinary decrease in the number of cases of drunkenness. Of these cases at Aber- oynon on Wednesday there were only seven or eight. The week before there were about twenty-five oases, which is something like the usual number. Another striking result of the revival is that neither of the courts was filled with people, as is usually the cage, and the precincts gave no indication whatever that it was court day. As a rule, you see numbers of people waiting about, but this week there was not a soul to be seen. "Then. again," said Sir Marohant, "if you eliminate from my list, both at Ab-ercyno-i and Aberdare, the ordinary tramp csec, it would further reduce the list by one-half." "Has the revival had any other result besides reducing the police-court cases?" "I cannot say. I simply tell you of what has come under my own observation. That: at any rate, is remarkable enough." An effort is being made, chiefly by minis- terial students in the town, to induce Mr. Evan Roberts to pay a. visit to Cardiff on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Roberts, it ie ijnderstood, is not uuwilling to come, pro- vided the people (tt Senghenydd, wiiero he is announced for thkt day, signify their approval. BRIDbEND BENCH AGREEABLY SURPRISED. WbaA does this -ean? asked Mr. R. W. Mcwellyn, obadm?"I of the Bridgend benea?o magistrates, when the local police-court opened this morning. Instead of the usual long list of charges on the she.et-the average is about 90-there were today about twenty. Usually the polic.e oaaes, including charges of drunkenness, improper language, ac., total over 50; but to-day there were only nine. Mr. S. H. Stockwood, the justices' clerk, said that the change was brought about by the revival- The Chairman: Well, I hope it will con- tinue. Mr. David Bavies: I hope so.

[BARGOED SENSATION I DISTRESSING DEATH OF A SCULPTOR'S WIFE. I An inquest was held at the J unction Hotel, Bargocd, yesterday afternoon into the circum- stances of the death of Mrs. Georgina Jones, wife cJ Mr. Mathias Jones, formerly a sculptor, and residing at the Old Factory House, Bargoed. Death oocurred under peculiar circumstances on Wednesday even- ing last. Deceased had been ill for ten days, and no doctor had seen her. The evidence, however, showed that a letter had been sent to a medical man at Newbridge, but it had not reaahed him. Dr. Herbert, partner with Dr. Thomas, Eargoed, said he was called in to see the body. It was lying on a eort of trolley in I front of the firte, was fully clothetl and covered with sacks. The woman had been dead about ten hours. The body was in a very wasted condition, but there were tie seres. The jaw had dropped, and the mouth was drawn to one side slightly, as if she had haa a paralytic seizure. If medical aid had been sought promptly the sufferings of the woman might have baen alleviated, but he did not think her life could have been saved. Pea-th occurred from exhaustion following paralytic seizure. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. Attention was called to the insanitary con- dition of the house, and it was suggested by the jury that the attention of the Gelligaer rural sanitary authorities should be called to utoe matter. I

ALARMiNG ACCIDENT GOODS TRAIN IN COLLTSION. AT TROEDYRHIW, 1 This morning an alarming accident occurred on the Rhymney and Great Western joint line near Merthyr. Whilst a goods train from Pontypool to Merthyr was passing the Cssstle Pit, at Troedyrhiw, it ran into a. col- liers' train which was coming out of the colliery siding. The goods train caught the middle of the oollieirs' train before the latter had cleared the sidings. The impact was not very violent. Nevertheless, it was sufficiently severe to derail and damage four of the coaches of the colliers' train, whioh, fortunately, at the time was empty. I It took three hours for the workmen to I olear the line, the ta-affic in the meanwhile being conducted over a single set of rails.

NO AT IN THEM, Sale of Improper Pictures. A picture dealer, named Louis A. Britton, trading a.t Chapel-street, Edgware-road, was summoned by Deteotdvie-inspsctor Kaine at Maarylebone yesterday for exhibiting in his shop window three improper coloured pic- tures, esntitled It's a Shame to Take the Money," "Lucky Dog," and "Not 'Art." Detective-sergeant Dra.per eadd that, con- sidering the pictures of a suggestive cha- racter, he purchased them aA Is. each and submitited tiiem to the Commissioner of Police, who ordered proceedings to be taken. When Besrved wi-th the summome the defen- dant denied that they were improper, said they were gibown ait a thousand shops in Lon- don, and aaked what Inspector knew about I art picture. For the defence it was admitted that the pictures ware not in the best taste. If the ma-gistnafce tfliought tliey were not decent j they would be withdrawn. Mr. Curtis Bennett said it was lamentable to heaar that 60,000 copies of such pictures had. been sold. There was no art in them. He fined the defendant £ 5, with 28. costs.

CONTINENTAL CYCLING. The month of December promises to be a month of matches, no fewer than half-a-dozen having already been fixed to take place at the Velodrome d'Hiver, Paris. The series com- mence to-morrow (Sunday), when Gabriel Poulain, the fastest French sprinter, will meet Syd Jenkins (_iigland), C. Piard (France), P. MaccafD (Belgium). Willy Bader (Germany), and E. Eettdch (France) in Are respective matches, and has wagered that be will win three out of five. Two old-timers, viz., Edmond Jacquelin and Tom Linton, claim that they are not the b&ck numbers many writers would have ue imagine, and to prove his claim, the former hae agTeed to ride four races or matches on the no win no pay system. Tom Linton will meet Tommy Hall in a 50-kilomoetrs paced match, and the fol- lowing Sunday Poulain and Rettich will meet M-athieu and Massart in a. tandem match, then Brui says he will ride the winner of the Hall-Linton mMcl). for anything from iOOOf. upwards.

AWAITING DEATH. THE PETITION FOR PENTRE MURDERER REPRIEVE. It is intended to ototaki si gn azures to tiho petition for a reprieve for Brio Longe, the Pentre mairdjeirar, both at MiddieSborough and in the Rhondda Valley. Mr. M. Itoberts- Jones, Cardiff, who acted as the condemned, man's solicitor, is taking up the matter with. characteristic energy, al:thoug-h he is not very hopeful as to the result. Mr. Morgan Morgan,, barrister, who de- fended Ijaaige at the tria-l, saw the eoliciifcor to the Russian Consulate in London yester- day, eunid made arraneemc-n'ts for the pros- pactive aippeal. In district it is pro- ,b-ablo tflKut. the petition will be extensively signed, but it is doubtful whether this win be so in the Ehondda Valley, except possibly by those who are conscientious objectors to capital punishment. Laage's crime was par- titula.rly revolting to the feelings of the Ehondda Valley people, ard the general opinion its tbait the sentence of death passed upon the culprit -was a perfectly just one. On the other hand, the plea that there is insanity in Lamgc's family will douibtlese be pressed, and will be sure to receive every conai'deratkm at the Rome Office. There is this speoial feature about the orimitt was obviously not premeditated. For sueii. a inurdier in Germany the cdTMTt would not be executed, but simply be im- prisoned for life. The Genmra law distin- g-uigohea bet^ween premeditated and unpre- meditated murder, Lauge, although a Ens- si-an by birth, is a Germ-am subject, and, aware of the law in his own country, feels that he ought to be similarly treated in I Grea.t Britain. Lange has Tjeen seen several times in ga;ol by the pastor of the German Mission at Barry and Cardiff.

SCORING ON THE RANGE. t Remarkable Alle,ga-tions.\ I A reiaarkfiible case, involving an instructor of musketry, was unfolded at a. district court- cuajtiaJ at. Devon port yesterday, when I, Colour-sergeant Walter Jefferiee, 2nd Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, was charged with making a knowingly false accusation against an officer. In asigned report- tho l prisoner alleged that Lieutenant Lynch, I afisistaat adjut&nit, influenced him to alter certain praobice-soores eo as to enable Lieutenant Hope, who had pr?vi<msly failed'l ?o gat through. This ?legation was denied by lieutenant Lynch, but another witness, Corporal F?ooncr, who was in charge of the marking at the musketry practice, admitted in that eome of the iigunes in the register bearing. his signature were not his. The hearing was adjourned. l:

POLITICAL WEDDIN0 GIFTS. Our Kirkby Stephen Correspondent eaye thal,, intense feeling prevails in Liberal circles throughout Nprth Westmorland in con- sequence of Mr. Bigg's conversion to Con- servative views. The portrait of Mr. Rigg, so recently the idol of the Liberal party in the divigkxn, has been hauled down from the waU of one of the eiub§, where, it hung side by side with that of Mr. Gladstone. In many homes the same portrait has been taken down from the plaoe of honour in cottage and villa, and either destroyedor put away. All the shillings subscribed by the work- ing-men in one village for Mr. Bigg's wedding present are being returned by the wealthy Liberal who collecetd tbem. The beautiful copy in silver of the Warwick Vase, the ill- uminated address, and other gifts presented by the North Westmorland liberal Associa- tion on Mr. Eigg's wedding have been sent back to Mr. Coutts, president of the Liberal Association. The coming by-election will be one of the bitterest and sternest ever fought. Negotiations for a, candidate are bemg pushed on with almost feverish haste, one leading Liberal having offered to defray the election expenses if a certain nomination is accepted.

I THE FEAST OF HANUCAH. A brilliant page in Jewish history is Revealed in the festival which commenced last evening, and will last during the next eigfet dayti, Taa Feast of Hanucah, or Dedi- cation, oommenio ratee the successful resis- tance whioh the Maccabees offered to the tyrannical rale of Antiochus, EI),ipbau-, King of Syria, during a period when the very existence of the Jewish nation was threatened, and the heroic efforts by whioh, led by Judae Maocabseus, one of Israel's greatest heroes, they were enablod to drive the aggressors from the Holy Land. The I distinctive feature of the festival is the kindling of lights in the synaeoeoe and the I home. On the first evening one light only is used; another, however, is added each suc- cessive evening until the number reaches eight. In the middle ages the Jewish quarter was illuminated during the entire duration of the festival, and much festivity was indulged in.
