BLOW FOR THEG.W.R. -0 LOUGHOR ACCIDENT VERDICT A Stay of Execution Refused In the case of Danes v. the Great Western Railway Company, to-day, in the Court of Appeal (before the Master of the Rolls and Lord Justice Romer), an application was made on behalf of the defendants for a stay of execution pending the hearing of the appeal which they were bringing against the verdict and judgment for the plaintiff entered at the trial last week. The action, which arose out of a railway accident near Loughor, resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff for an agreed sum of XZ50. In support of the application Mr. Laweon Walton, K.C., said that the plaintiff was a person in humble circumstances, and if the damages and coste were paid over there was little chance of getting them back in the event of the appeal proving successful. Mr. Justice Wills refused a stay, holding that he was bound by the verdict of the jury. The case was of enormous importance to defen- dants, because not only were there many claims which were more or less determined by this case, but the usefulness of a large part of their rolling stock waa involved by the verdict and judgment. The defendants were quite willing to pay to the ptajintiff £100, to be retained by him in any event, and to pay over the costs to the plaintiff's solicitors on their undertaking to return them Should the a-ppeal prove euoceasful. Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C., for the plaintiff, opposed the application, amd submitted that no ground had been shown for granting a stay. The company were bound to try and oocoumit for the accident in some way, but they failed entirely to convince the jury that their theory was right. He suggested that the sole ground for asking for a stay was thiait the oompany might use it to induce others, who had commenced or were bring- ing aetims against them, to eetttle. MT. Walton, in reply, said there was no foundation for the suggestion made by his learned friend. In giving judgment, the Master of the Rolls said the court would not be justi- fied -in gramtin-g a stay in this oase. The plaintiff had euoceeded in getting a verdict after a very patient trial before & most experienced judge, who, as he had told the court, deliberately kept the balance inclined somewha-t in favour of the defen- dants, in view of the particular oircum- stances of the case. The damages had been adjusted at a reasonable figure, and the ver- dict bore, on its face, no semblance of any- thing like rashness, or want of undue balance on the part of the jury. Under those circumstances, it would be wrong to assist the defendants with a stay. They were not debarred from appealing, but they must do so at their own risk. Lord Justice Romer concurred, and the application was dismissed with costs.

I "HELD UP" AT DINNER Thrills in a West Wales Mansion. PRISONER WHO WILL NOT EAT, DRINK, NOR SPEAK, A German butler arrived at the Lampeter Railway Station on Saturday evening, and engaged Mr. John Jones, of Mill-street Livery Stables, to drive him to Tymawr, Cilcenuin. He had two parcels as luggage, one, having ,the appearance of a gun, being tied up with a string. "The man was very reticent all the way, and would only say "Yes" or "No" in answer to Jones's inquiries. He said he had been at Tymawr before for four months, but that he was not expected there on Saturday. At Aldergate public-house, where they stopped to gruel the horse, the man paid Mr Jones 10s. for driving him. On arriving at Tymawr Jones was requested to drive to the front door (which was unusual with him when driving the servants), and to stop there three or four minutes. The man then walked into the house, and the first thing that John Jones saw was his nndoing the string of the parcel and pulling out a sward. It is. alleged that he then rushed into the dining room, ,and pointed a revolver at someone there, and said, Now," but the revolver did not go off. John Jones immediately jumped off the trap and ran into the house, where there was a great commotion among the servants by this time. The butler and Captain Price then came and caught the man by the neck, and he was tied by John Jones and others until Police-constable James, of Yetrad, arrived on the scene. John Jones then went immediately for Major Price Lewis, of Tyglyn Aeron, who soon arrived, and the ma.n was Inarched off to Aberayron. It appeared that the man had been in service at Tymawr for four months, and was dis- charged in the early part of this year with a good character, when he returned to London. POLICE-COURT PROCEEDINGS At a special sitting held at the Aberayron magisitraites'-office to-day (before Major Pryce Lewis and Colonel Iloyd) George Schneider, 23, a German butler, 59, Charlotte-street, Lon- don, was charged with attempting to shoot Mrs. Susannah Pryce and Captain George Pryce, of Ty-m,mwri Cilcennin, near Aberay- ron, on Saturday at 8.30 p.m. Mr. George Rice Pryce said: I live at Tymawr. I have known prisoner since December 28, 1904. He was in the service of Mrs. Rudman, my mother-in-law. He left her service on April 25. He came to Tymawr about 8.30 p.m. on Saturday last. 4Pbe first I saw of him was his entering the dining- room, when Mrs. Pryce, Mrs. Rudman, and myself were dining. I did not recogniso him at first. I realisc-d that some stranger had entered. Mrs. Pryce first recognised him. She jumped up and called out, "belmeider." I then saw him point a revolver at Mrs.Pryce. I then jumped up, caught hold of my wife. and pushed her aside. I jumped ¡!It the would-be murderer and caught hold of his wrists. He did his boot to point tlhe weapon towards me, and, with the assistance of the butler, we got him secured, and sent for the police to Y&tra-d. Pol ice-constable James arrived, and they han&ed the prisoner to him. He took him to Aberayron Police- Police-constable James said he went to Ty- mawr, took prisoner in charge, and brought him to Aberayron Police-station. Major Pryse Lewie (to prisoner): Have you any questions to ask Captain Pryce or the constable? No reply was made. Superintendent Williams said he engaged Dr. Davies to examiine the prisoner this morning, as he had refused to eat, drink, or speak since he bad been in the cells. The superintendent applied for a remand until Wednesday next, when full evidence will be given. Prisoner was remanded until Wednesday.

"A MONK WOULD BE" Czar Tired of Throne EMPRESS-MOTHER WANTS TO BE DICTATOR. The" Vosaische Zeitung," Berlin, and other -leading newspapers give prominence to a sensational communication to the effect that powerful influences are at work in St. Petersburg to oompel the Czar to abdicate. The Empress-Mother is said to be support- ing the movement against the Czar, who is also opposed by the grand-ducal clique. The Czar is stated to have expressed to the Czarina his desire to relinquish the crown and become a. monk. The Empress-Mother would like to become Dictator and be another Catherine, according to this story. It is admitted that she is the person most competent to rule Russia firmly under the present conditions, but the grand dukes pre- vent the fulfilment of her ambition. There would have been a palace revolu- tion loag ago if the Czar's powerful enemies had been able to agree upon a successor, but there are too many rival candidates 'for the throne, not one of whom is particularly suitable.

BURYING THE B0YS.| I BURYING THE BOYS.I FUNERALS AT LLETHRDDU TO-DAY. I There were very large processions at to-day's funerals of the remaining victims of the Wattstown disaster, the majority of whom were boys. The funerals taking place at different districts naturally had a tend- ency to diminish the attendance at each individual cortege. As it was, however, there was a large number of vehicles in addition to about half a mile of pedestrians in the cortege in connection with those buried at Llethrddu. TWO MORE BODIES RECOVERED Sunday was again a notable day at Watts- town, which wae the centre of attraction for great crowds of people. Exploration work was continued under the command of Mr. Da.kers, of Risoa, and by noon another body was discovered, that of the lad J. H. Davies (14), of Margaret-street, Wattstown. The workings are now practically free of after-damp and gas, and the explorers have been able to travel the main return from end to end, so that the whole of the colliery is now accessible. But it is not anticipated that the bodies which are believed to be under falls will be recovered for some time. The explorers have found a body under a fall. The remains have not yet been identified. i. Another Body Found imiB Mwnoon, tne ooay 01 an Qnma-mea Mulier named Samuel Hughes, of 16, Wind- I st,r-t. Ymiahir, was recoverred. There now still remain four bodies in the pit. Maesteg Miners' Sympathy I At a meeting of the Maesteg Miners' Aaso- oiation to-day Mr. David Beynoo., miners' agen t, proposed a vote of sympathy with the widows and orphans of the men who met their death in the Wattstown explosion. He said he had visited maJuy colliea-ias after explosions, but he had never seen such a sight as tha.t caused by the Wattstown acci- dent. The machinery was almost intact, but the bodies were terribly mamigled amd burnt, ,and some of them were literally roaeted. He bad never seen a crowd behave better, the people being quiet all day and very paitiecni.' They would get a thorough inquiry into the cause of the disaster. He hoped every Government that came into power would look after the safety of the collier, who went into the bowels of the earth day after day to seek the coal which turned every wheel in the world. The motion was carried in silence. I Votes of Sympathy I The Aberdare miners to-day passed a vote of sympathy with the bereaved families. I Cardiff Mayor's Fund.

BEVAN (Secretary), 60, Sherwood-place, July 17. Commissioner Wanted TO HOLD A FULL INQUIRY Speaking at a miners' meetin g at the Young Men's Christian Association Building, Porth, to-day, MT. W. Abraham (" Mabon"), M.P., who waa labouring under considerable emotiou, said that he was not able to say much, but they all felt very keenly the ead effect of the terrible explosion a.t Wattetown. whereby so many lives of their dear fellow- workmen had been taken away, and which came so soon after the Clydach Vale calamity. They were in hopes that these caifiastrophies were diminishing in number. This, however, did not seem to be the case, and their recurrence in this fashion was moat discouraging. They were all hoping that science m'ight find out some means of re- ducing the number of these explosions, and also to minimise the disastrous effect inci- denital to them when they did occur. He did not remember having witnessed such a sad sight as be did the previous Saturday, when he saw the number of coffins contain- ing the bodies of so many friends and of so many young lads who were cut off in the bloom of life. It was most sad and distress- ing—one of these things that overwhelmed one, and one would have liked to have escaped for ever from being compelled to wit ncA- tlhese distressing disasters. They however, aill very glad to find public sym- pathy shown in the way it was. (Hear, hear.) They were also very glad, indeed, that the I..ord Miayor of London and the Mayor of Cardiff had opened funds for the relief of ,t,he district, and now it behoved the workmen to do what they could. (Hear, hear.) There was to be a public meeting that evening at seven o'clock at. Wattstown, when an endeavour would be made to inaugurate a fund for tibe benefit of those people who would not be reajched by the otiher funds which had heen established. Sufficient for the day is the .pain therefore," were Mabon's" con- cluding remarks. Mr D. Watts Morgan, speaking on th* sam-e- nia-tter, said that he wanted to give credit to the National Colliery officials for jhaving giveif every facilities in the way of the miners' leaders to go down to inspect the pit. He then suggested that the meeting should pass a resolution requesting "Mabon" to make an application for the appointment of a commissioner, who should be empowered to hold a full inquiry into the disaster A motion embodying Mr Morgana Tiews was agreed to nem coet.

REDISTRIBUTION. I Resolutions Withdrawn A PARLIAMENTARY SURPRISE In the House of Commons to-day, Mr. Gerald Balfour informed Mr. Lambert that no specific provision had been made in the Estimates for the expenses of the Boun- daries Commission. He did not answer two questions—one by Mr. Crooks as to why one man at King's Lynn should equal eix-and-a-half men at Lewisham, and the other by Mr. Coghill as to whether it was the scheme of the Govern- ment as a whole to Gerry Balfour consti- tuents. (A laugh.) Mr. Balfour subsequently announced the withdrawal of the redistribution resolution.

I Heavy Cardiff Failure DEFICIENCY NEARLY £ 4.000 j A meeting of thitor. of William Riley, J.P., of Newcastle House, Bridgend, lately oarrying on business at Weet Wharf and West Bute Docks, Cardiff, as W. Riley and Co., timber importer and amwmill pro- prietor, was held at the Official Receiver's Office, Cardiff, this morning. The debtor's state meat showed his gross liabilities to be 16,086 lis. 9d., of which E5,301 3s. lid. was expected to rank. The assets were estimated at 21,.182 5s.. leaving a deficiency of £3,918 18s. lid. Causes of failure were alleged to be losses through being oalled upon to pay the debts of the old firm of Alexander and Co., in which for a number of years he was he active partner Mr. Riley commenced business in Colling- don-road, West Dock, on the 31st of March, 1904, with a working capital of £ 380. He was unable to import timber, but made his pur- chases in various parts of the United King- dom, and he alleged as a consequence that he had to pay a heavier price than if he had been able to import. Bankrupt aJso stated that he became liable for debts of Alexander and Co.. Ltd., to the exiAmrt of CB,600, and had paid about £3,000 on account thereof. i It was resolved that tho Offioial Receiver I should ate as trutstee.

[WELSH COAL FIELD — Germans and a Neath Estate REASONS FOR THE ALLEGED PURCHASE. The announcement that a German syndicate has purchased coalfields in South Wales has caused great surprise in Berlin financial circles. The press, not knowing what to make of it, contents itself with publishing London telegrams on the subject. On investigation I find (says the Berlin correspondent of a. London contemporary) that a syndicate, consisting of the Berlin coal firms, headed by Herr Robert Mueller, the shipping firm of De Freitas, of Hamburg, and others, have bought part of the Whit- worth Estate, comprising 6,000 acres, in which tremendous coal deposits have been found. Professor Krusch, director of the Royal Prussian Geological Institution of Berlin, after many months' careful study in South Wales, advised the purchase of the land at the price of one quarter of a million sterling, which is considered cheap. The syndicate's representatives claim that no political significance attaches to the purchase, the object of which, it is said, is merely to become independent of the German Coal Combine. This seems quite plausible, since similar efforts are being made by several Governments in Germany. Ba-varim, for instance, is seeking to buy the Harpener coal works near Dortmund to emancipate her railway and other State undertakings from the dictation of the German Coal Trust. On the other hand, the Coal Trust is making strong efforts to make good losses sustained during the great strike by compet- ing with British coal. For this purpose a number of the great firms of Dortmund, Emden, and Hamburg, in conjunction with the Rhenish Westphalian coal syndicate, have undertaken to erect depots for their own products at Marseilles, Genoa, Naples, Algiers, Port Said, Kingston (Jamaica), and other places. I Not the Famous Steam Coal The Whitworth estate, Neath. is owned by Mr. J. C. A. Henderson, a South African millionaire, who acquired tire estate some years ago Up to the present time only the upper seams have been worked, and these principally by drifts and levels. The coal produced is of house and manufacturing quality. The area is served by the Greaot Western (Vale of Neath) Railway, the South Wales Mineral Railway, and the Port Talbort Railway, and the coal can be shipped at Neath, Port Talbot, or Swansea. No definite information oould be obtained at Cardiff with regard to the purchase of the estate, but we learn on reliable authority that the estate has been in the market for some time, and that on Saturday week a German engineer was at Cardiff making inquiries on the subject. It is quite true tha-t too firm of Foster Brown and Rees have made a. report upon the property, but the report is by no means a recent one. In fact, that report was made in a general way, and they know nothing about the pre- sent rumour that the estate haa been pur- chased. Nothing was known at Nea/th on Saturday of the purchase of the Whitwortfo. Estate saving the information given in the press. Captain Stroud, of Resolven, who is the local agent for the estate, said he had heard nothing of it, and he was, therefore, not in a. position to affirm or deny the report. Inquiries, however, made in anotherquarter have elicited the fact that representatives of a German syndicate were at Neath a oouple of weeks ago, and together with Dr. Hender- son, the son of the then owner of the estate, they visited the collieries already working on the estate, and those working the same seams in the districts adjoining. They expressed themselvee thoroughly satisfied with the quality of the coal. The collieriee working on the estate are the Llawt.wit; Merthyr, New Forest, Bush, Glyn Castle, Cwmpennar, and the Marine, and a start is about to be made with the Blaencwin. In the four first-named the Weroalit Seam is being worked, and at Owm. pennar and the Marine the Mountain Seam. The area of the estate is 6,500 acres, and with. trade good the output of the collieries already in operation would each average about 200 tons a day. Professor Galloway, replying to a, press- man, said he reported on the property some years ago, but he knew nothing of the present negotiations. There were no sinkings on the property-only some drifts and levels to the upper seams, which were owned by several locaJ firms. It would, he said, take at least three years to sink to the steam coal seams. Sinking to the Lower Measures Mr. Giles Jones, for years manager of the Merthyr LI apt wit Colliery, states that Mr. John Henderson is probably floating a com- pa.ny for the purpose of developing the estate, and the property will not go into foreign hajids altogether. Shafts probably 800 yards in depth will be sunk to the lower measures, but the coal is such that the Admiralty would not look at it whilst they could get Ocean and such like ooals. The deepest shaft in South Wales is the Ocean, at Treharris, which is 759 yards deep.

j Sergeant's Wife's Story ALLEGED OUTRAGE AT BRECON At Brecon to-day W-illiam Ryan, a private in the 3rd (Militia,) Battalion of the South Wales Borderers, was charged with assault- ing Mary Agnes Kavanagh, the wife of Colour-Sergeant Kavanagh, 3rd Battalion South WRiles Borderers, on the evening of the 14th inst. Mrs. Kaivanagh said she was proceeding to Bwlch Camp, Alhen she saw the prisoner and two other men in uniform approaching. When flhe was some little distance away prisoner said "Good-night" to her tw ice, but she did not answer. He then barred the way and though she told him who she was he threw her to the ground, and behaved improperly. She heard someone coming down the lane, and then Ryan released her, and followed his companions. Four men in uniform, and one in plain clothes then came along. To them she made a com- plaint, and asked them to help her to over- take her assailant. One of them replied, We've seen nothing misses, and, therefore, can't do anything," and then passed on. She then made her way back to the barracks, and gave information to the sergeant in charge of the guard-room, which led to prisoner's arrest. In cross-examination by prisoner, Mrs. Kavanagh denied that she was drunk and called him by a. vile name. Priva,te Michael Daly (Depot South Wales Borderers) deposed that he and a Militiaman, named Evans, acoormpanied Ryan from the camp. When they met Mrs. Kavamagh, Ryan caught hold of her round the waist, and they booth fell to the ground. Witness told Ryan, to leave the womaJD alone, and be came away, but went back and acted improperly. Someone then came along t-he Llwe, and Ryan left Mrs. Kavanagh amd walked with witness into town. The Mayor: Don't you think it wae very cowardly on your part to allow this mam, to knock the woman down and maul her about? Witness: He came away the first titre. Alderman Lewis My own, impres- -ion is that you ought to be in the dock with Ryam on a charge of aicfflng and abetting. Your conduot and thaJt, of the man, Evanis was most discreditable. Prisoner, in a statement to the bench, admitted a common assault, bu,t denied that he behaved indecently.

"TICKLISH, NOT TENDER." I Cruelty to a Horse at St, Nicholas I Herbert E. Shorthouse, general dealer, of I Penarth, appeared (before Mr. C. A. lIeYwood and Mr. T. Andrews) at Barry Police-court to-day charged with cruelty to a hoa-se.- Police-constable William Davies, St. Nicholas, said that on the 4th inst. he saw the defen- dant drive a white mare. attached to a van, on the Cowbridge-road. The animal seemed to be in pain, and ou examination lie di& covered a wound under the saddle. The mare was also lame. The constable added that defendant admitted the animal was ticklish, not tender. Defendant pleaded that the mare was in fairly good condition. Fined 20s. and costs, or fourteen days' imprisonment. I

AT THE INFIRMARY. ALLEGATIONS OF NEGLECT. I Further Evidence at a Cardiff Inquest, The inquest was resumed by Mr. E. B. Reece and a jury at Cardiff Town-hall this afternoon on the body of George Tyler, a labourer, respecting whose death at Cardiff Infirmary a remarkable assertion wae made at the opening of the inquiry on Saturday by a witness, named Henry Smith, to the effect tnGot deceased lay at the infirmary 40 minutes before being attended to, and that during that time blood was welling from his injured leg. Mr. Harold Lloyd appeared for the rela- tives of Tyler, and Mr. Richard Davies repre- sented Morgan Jones, a brakesman. There was a large number of fellc, .rk- men of the dooeased in court, and it was understood that no fewer than twenty wit- nesses would be called, if necessary. The Coroner said that he would re-call George Henry Tyler, who accordingly came into the box. He said he had been foreman at the Patent Fuel Works for fifteen or six- teen years. The works belonged to Messrs. L. Gueret (Limited). Every day coal was brought into the works by the Taff Vale Rail- way. Witness went on to say that he under- stood from the evidence of Henry Smith and David Conway that the trucks were coupled off from the main engine. This was not the way it was generally done. There aTe three lines, and they inform the signalman and guard which line tihev want the trucks to go in. On this occasion they went into the middle line. The Coroner: Do you consider the way they ran down without the engine a proper method? No. sir, I do not," replied the witness. Witness went on to explain that the place was very steep. The Coroner: If the wagons ran down. as they say they did, they would strike against the wagons at the bottom and send them some distance?—Yes, sir, even when the brea-kee were on the wagons. I Allegations Repeated The Coroner: I want to mention a matter referred to on Saturday about the infirmary. You told us you took your son to the infir- mary? Witness: Yee, sir, I did. Were you under the impression that they did not attend to him properly ?—Well, no, sir; the did not. Mr. Smith said no doctor came there for 40 minutes to see him?—I believe that, sir. This gentleman here, who is the dootor, says he was there in a a few minutes after your son arrived?—No; MT. Smith is right. I want you to tell me.—I consider myself it was close on an hour. Mr. Smith took the time; I did not not. What Mr. Smith says is tbis- No doctor came to aettend to him for 40 minutes. He was blec-ding a-li that time. Someone came and looked at him WOO after he arrived." Well, that was the dootor-Well. sir, he just Touched Him On the Leg Like That I I suppose you did not remain there while tihey cut hiis leg off.No, air. Did they tell yon tihey were going to cut his leg off?—Yes, sir. Albert Tilley, a labourer, living at Maindy, said that he saw the accident Tyler was in from one of the full wagons, in No. 2 Road. He was knocked down by the two wagons that were forced on by the ones that ran against them. Witness shouted out and asked for help. The wagons had been moved for fourteen or sixteen yards. The standing wagons had their brakes down, but, nothwith- standing this they had been shifted. The Coroner: In your opinion the wagon must have gone down with a great speed then?-Yes, sir, an awful speed. Important Evidence I was expected when Morgan Jones, brakesman, was called. Witness said he lived at Grange- town. He had been a brakesman on the Taff Vale line between three and four years. The engine was uncoupled near the rope works, and went into the wire works siding, where there were five loaded wagons at a standstill.

MARKSMEN at BISLEY I IDEAL SHOOTING CONDITIONS I BISLEY, Monday Morning. Magnificent weather and ideal shooting con- ditions seem likely to lead to another day of sensational scoring.

[TO-DAV'S. CRICKET. GLAMORGAN V. M.C.C. AND GROUND. Play in the annual fixture between Glamorgan and the M.C.C. opened at noon to-day on the Cardiff Arms Park in ideal weather and 011 an excellent wicket. Willie Morgan, the old Cymmer cricketer, cap- tained the visiting side, which included such well-known men as S. M. J. Woods, L. D. Brownlee, Braund, Mead, and Wrat-ball. Percy Bush made his first appearance of the season by playing as sub. for the M. C. C. Winning the toes, J. H. Brain sent in Nor- ;nan Riches and T. L. Whittington to play the bowhng of Braund and Mead. Riches had only made a single when he ran himself out. Wlmtingtou shapeo. very well until he was tempted by Braund to put a ball into the bauds of Wrathall at short leg. Bancroft and Guy Thackeray were next in partner- ship, and the Swansea man was let off by Murrell at deep leg after making half a dozen runs. Thackeray was frequently in difficulties with Braund, who was making the tall play all sorts of fanta.stic tricks. Hav ing settled down somewhat, T'ha<ckeray opened hie shoulders, and put Braund away tc the boundary four times in one over. The first bowling change was tried at 68, Bobson taking the place of Braund, who had been most severely dealt with by Thackeray, who was playing free, aggressive cricket. Eleven runs short of the oentury, Murrell replaced Mead, who had bowled a dozen overs with- out effect. Only three runs short of his 50, Thackeray was brilliantly taken at the wicket off Robson s bowling. His capital innings included eight 4's, and the only chance he gave was a very difficult return to llraund. H. B. Letcher joined Bancroft, and opened his account with a boundary hit,, which sent up the, 100 after an hour and a qu.aJ't.er'¡,; play. Having made ten runs in half as many minutes, Letcher was bowled by Robson, the fourth wicket falling at 107. Braund was brought back at 113 at the foot- ball field end, and in the last over before lunch Russell was bowled by Robson for a cypher. Arthur Gibson resumed with Ban- cioft, who was now approaching his 50. 11 ith a beautiful late cut to the boundary he earned talent money, and was applauded all round the ring. The total of 150 for five wickets was quite a respectable one, and there was a. fair prospect of the double cen- tury being topped. ScorE:- GLAMORGAN. First innings. Second ianings.

I MONMOUTHSHIRE V. BERKSHIRE. Continuing upon their unchequred career, Monmouthshire to-da.y engaged Berkshire a.t Newport in weather which was fine, but not too oppressive. The earlier engagement at Reading resulted in a handsome win for the men of Gwent by ten wickets, and although they did not turn out their full strength for this encounter, Monmouthshire were confi- dent of repeating their performance, and thus securing for themselves a s-Lill more enviable position in the Minor Counties' Championship table. Monmouthshire, w'n- ning the toss, elected the visitors to bat first, and G. G. Bennett and Brown, one of the county pros, took up their positions at the wickets to face the bowling of Steeples and Gordon Phillips. Tbe start proved a disas- trous one for the visitors, for with only six runs up Brown was given out leg before wicket. Hntson then joined his clubmate, and although runs came very slowly for the first ten mioutps, the batsmen st-empd to giain confidence, and hit out quite merrily at the bowing. Several boundaries came in quick succession, but shortly aftèr the naif oentury bad been reached Diver and Silver- lock experienced hard lines in not dismissing Bennett, with catches. Runs continued to oome rapidl ,ind xhLiariting cricket was seen. l?'ith the score at 53 W. A. Wil- liams relieved Steeples trundling at the Cor- poration-road end, while twenty runs later another change was made in the Monmouth- shire bowling, Silverlock changing end with Gordon Phillips. The batsmen now seemed well set, but another change which was made in the bowling when the telegraph read 95 proved effective, Bennett, who had played a pretty innings right through, being smartly oaught. at long off by E. S. Phillips off Steeples, who had gone on to bowl at the pavilion end instead of Silverlock. Hutson, who had made 43 up to this time, was joined by Watts, but the partnership did not last for long, the new comer being clean bowled by Steeples—96—3—0. S. B. Shea. followed iG. aid the century was signalled and Hut-son's half century simultaneously after seventy- fivE" minutes' play. Three runs later Shea. wae oaught behind the wickets by Diver off Steeples' bowling. Upon the appearance of Greenfield Phillips was again put on to bowl in place of Williams, and the first two balls sent down by him were badly missed by Hutr son. The Berkshire man seemed less com- fc rtable than he had previously been, ani eventually he was cJeverly caught in the sltPB by Steeples with a left-hand ground oa.toh-114-5-57. Sir C. Y. Nepean then joined Greenfield, ajid after the baronet had given a chance at deep field the latter player was caught at mid on by T. B. Williams. The baronet, who bad shown an affinity for nit- ting. skied a ball to cover point, and was easily caught by J H. trattùn. the score then reading 133 fo.r seven wickets. The Berkshire tail end made a very poor show, and fifteen minutes after the luncheon inter- val the whole side were out for 147. Steeples was the most successful of the home bowlers, taking six wickets for 25 inns. Silverlock and i H. Stratton opened the venture for Monmouthshire against the the bowling of Barker from The pavilion end. and Bennett. In spite of a strong winu, which blew up the field, thus favouring the bowlers, runs came freelv. Score: BERKSHIRE. First innings. Second innmsrs. G. G. Bennett, c E.

The Australians visited Edinburgh to-day, and opposed the Scottish team on the Grange Ground, Raeburn Place. Smith stood out of the home twelve, and Armstrong, Noble. Kelly, and Hopkins from the Oolo- nials, who, winning the toss, batted first in threatening weather. Boll, the old Essex cricketer, and Anderson bowled, the 'atter securing Duff caught at the wickets, in his second over and Trumper, well taken at slip at 24. Hill and M'Leod found run-getting none too easy, the only big hit being an on drive by Hill off Bull for four. The 50 appeared in forty-five minutes. D. L. Smith at 59 relieved Bull, who crossed over and saw Hill after batting fifty m'nutes finely taken at long on at the second attempt. Anderson resumed, and Stevenson also had a turn, but at the adjournment for luncheon the score had been taken to 93 for three wickets.

Submarine Disaster RECOVERY OF THE VICTIMS' BODIES The submarine Farfa/det has b&en raised. and the painful task of recovering the bodies of the crew ie now being proceeded with and the dreadful details of the tragedy revealed. The four men m the P-ft-erpart of the vesaei appear to have been killed almost insTjajitly. whilst the eight forward held out for 3Z hours. Their vests, with which they endeavoured to keep back the inrush of water, were the first objects drawn forth. The first corpse was that of Engineer Lesausse. He lay cloise to the manhole. A second or two had stood between him axld death, for he was rushing to the manhole when his vest caught in some machinery, and his Doom Overtook Him before he could extricate himself. Lieutenan,t Robin lay a little faxther away on his back. The interior of the submarine is in a state of inextricable confusion, tbe bodies, lying a.midgt a tangled mass of machinery and instruments. Four bodies have already been recovered, but it will be Tuesday before the funeral of the fourteen victims can take place. Renter adds that water was pumped oat of the submarine all Saturday night. The combination of the sulphuric acid of tlis accumulators with the sea water has pro- duced hydrochloric acid. The work of removing the bodies is extremely difficult, especially aft, where the corpses are entangled. The men employed are doing The work under great difficulty, and are quite overoome with the horrors of their task. The bodies have Jon some cases to be lifted up and then tied to ropes and hauled out from afcove. On arrival above the corpeee are immediately covered with a cloth, in order to hide the gruesome condition they are in. Ventilators have been fixed aft, where work is quite impossible at present. Eight of the dead a-Te Bretons, and the rest come from different parte of France.

FEMALE FAGIN'S WORK About two years ago Annie Laurie Curran left Blackpool for Liverpool an abwiutely respectable girl., Last. April, for stealing in London she recevied six months' imprisonment. This so distreased her father that he died of a broken heart. Curran was charged at Blackpool on Satur. day with stealing from the Royal Hotel and a bouse in Waterloo-road, and received four months' imprisonment. A Liyerrool professional female thief was blamed for the girl's downfall.

BLACKMAIL ? STRANGE BRISTOL CASE. Terrible Story of a Wife At Bristol Assizes to-day the extraordinary slander action against a Bath coal merchant, named Reynolds, was continued. Further evidence was called on behalf of tha defendant to prove that the plaintiff Seers was in the habit of giving his wife champagne in the morning. The wife of the defendant swore that her husband had only one Norfolk suit, which was disposed of in the spring of 1903, while a witness for jdaintifF had sworn that he saw a man, since identi- fied as defendant, wearing a Norfolk suit, who he saw misconducting himself with Mrs. Seers in October of the same year. Counsel, for the defendant, addressed the jury, and said the question they would have to deoide was whether the plaintiff was a blackmailer, or the defendant an adulterer. The action had been forced on by the defen- dant Reynolds to clear his character, and that was the reason he had punched the plaintiff s head. The woman, Mrs. Seers, had been down in the depths of degradation, but her husband led her there, debauohed her body with drink, and debauched her mind with horrible suggestions, and made her the thing she was. He contended that the defen- dant, Mrs. Seers, had told what was the true story Mr- Foote addressed Me jury on behalf of the plaintiff, and urged that matters quite irrevelent had been introduced in order to prejudice the jury. The points they had to consider was whether the plaintiff wae a blackmailer, and what damages he ought to reoeive for being called a forger. As to the motive of Mrs. Seers in giving evidence against her husband, he would remind the jury of the lines love to (Proceeding).

DIVORCE STORIES. A Wife's Infatuation "PITY ME, I HAVE BEHAVED ABOMINABLY." In the Divorce Chart to-day Yr. Clement Peaidhe, a member of the Stock Exchange, who had resided at Byfletet, Surrey, petitioned for a divorce from Elsie Peache, against whom he alleged misconduct with a Mr. Francis Howard. It waa stated the marriage took place in 1898. In 1903 petitioner and hie wife made the acquaintance of the co-respondent. Petitioner suspected no intimacy between his wife and co-respondent until November last year, when the wife told her husband that tfbe oould not go on living with him, and that the man she cared for was Mr. Howard. Petition tried all he could to reclaim his wife from the infatuation. "tem passed between him and his wife as to the paternity of one of the children, and the wife expressed the belief that petitioner was not the father. In one of the letters respondent said "Pity me. I have behaved abominably. She referred to his getting a divorce, aDd said that the thought of poverty terrified her, and she was afraid that if she went to co-respojident it would mean that. The jury found for petitioner. It was stated that there had been a. cross petition, and, pending the hearing of that, his lordship was asked to suspend the decree, in tlhis suit. The President thought there was noreaon for withholding the decree, and, therefore, granted a decree nisi.

In August, 1904, respondent went to Littlehampton, a.nd wrote to her husband thoat oo-reepondent was there. Petitioner went to Littlehampton, and his wife then made a, confession of mis- conduct with co-respondent. (Proceeding).

"DESTRUCTIVE" COLLIER I Trees Damaged in Risca Park I "I know nothing about it," was the cool reply which Charles Hare, a timberman, of Pontymister, made at Newport County Police-court to-day, When charged with being drunk and incapable, and also with wilfully damaging growing trees at the Risca Public Park on Sunday evening. Superintendent Porter stated that upon in- vestigating a. complaint made to him he found that the prisoner, who was staggering drunk, had completely broken four young trees down and damaged another two. Mr. Protheroe, the landlord of the Fox and Hounds, stated that when he sho-uted to prisoner he shook his fist at witness. There were no fewer than 21 previous con- victions against the prisoner for drunken- ness. Superintendent Porter remarked that defendant was a destructive man when he was drunk. Alderman Grove: He is just the sort of man that ought to be a teetotaler if he loses his head in this manner. The Bench regarded the offence as very serious, and sentenced the prisoner to two months' hard labour for damaging the trees, and imposed a fine of zi, with the alternative of fourteen days' imprisonment, for his drunken conduct.
