 SHM? .1All BM $' I A RAILWAY- MYSTERY. Money and Letters Gone I A 8e'llsational and daring robbery of a mail. I bag 'is reported by our R.hYIDDey Valley cor- respondent to have tthen place on the Sen- glh-bnydd branch of the Rhymney Railway laet I tight. The last train to Cardiff on the branch, which leaves Senguenydd at 8.23, carried in the van the mils of the but on a-rriving at CaerphiDy the guard (Renry Godwin) diccovored to his consternation that One of the Post Of&ce hags was inissiiig. The b&g is stated to have contained, amca? othsr things, a large sum of money. Inqniries were at once made, but not until this morning was the nrat clue obta.lned, when the miaeing bag was found in Morgan's Field, OaerphiMy, cut open and tha contents gone. The neld is about 1CO ya.rd6 from the West fMgna'I Cabin. This is the third robbery of the kind within a, short period, although in the other cases the "haul" was tricing. OBloMtIe from the G<?ncral Post Onice and the Rhymney Railway, amongst the latter being Detecti-ve Joseph Hughes, are now maMng diligent inquiries, together with the loca! poUce. under Inspector Davies and Pollee- eergeant T. Williams. It is rumoured that the bag contained .E60. Letters were found strewed al! over the tr<mnd. The -Mstal authorities are reticent M to the a-mount lost. I Previous Thefts- I Wiring later. our Rtiymney Valley reporter I et*te6:—It doea not require any stretch of the imagination to declare with certainty that the previous robberies 'mentioned were the aote of the person or persons ocnnectcd with the present theft. In the other caaes the thefts were compara, ttvely trivia, and not a word was breathed to the public. The ba?s were not then stolen, M in this instance, but the seals were broken tMid property missed, including, it is said, a Cold ring. Roughly, the distance from Senghenydd to Caerphitty, is four miles and a half There a,re two intermediate stations, viz., Penyrheol acd Aber. At CaerphiMy. it is the duty of the platform porter to remove the maMs for transference to tbe next down train to Cardiff, which at the time come from Merthyr. It was when Porter Thomas Hill reached the vau t'hat the robbery was nrst detected. TIiere wae no bag for SMtghenydd as usu.a.1, but the Aber 'bag was found lying in its customary place on a. ma-il basket. There caji be no doubt Mia-t the ba.? wos stolen, as it was foimd lying on a. hedge of a field a-bout 200 yarda "'ay from the Caerphilly Station. I How the Bag Went. I It ie stated that v.hen the down t.rani Teaches Pemyrheol the guard assists in the exainma-tiom of tickets. At no other point a.lomg the route is he a-way from the place for amything like the time required by eveTi the smartest of pilferers to euter the vin, select his lbooty, and safely decamp. Whilst the guard peraued hieL duties at Penyrheol Station, Which has only one pLatform, it would be an easy matter for a, person to hoard the train from the o<T eide, enatch up the bag, and 'bolt. In this case. though, there is evidence of the theft or thieves having travelled to CaerphiIIy because the empty bag was lying a,gamst the hedge in Morgan's 6eld. Whether the thief reached the Reid in question by walking along the line or riding on the train I which he had boarded is not clear.

As an indirect result of this breaking off of the engagement, a police-court case was heard at Owmbra.n to-day when Philip Cantello, the Father of the young lady, was summoned by Love for assault. Love stated that on August 17 he was brimming a hedge, when CanteMo came up to him and, without provoca-tion, struck him & blow on the ehoulder, and alao a violent one in the mouth, which caused hia mouth to blaed. (l'1utello took the bill-hook from him, and as Mne. Cantello then came on the scene he ran away. Cantello said he would wait for him a.t his house, and cut hie head off, and also make a —— hole through him. OanteHo denied the offence, and sadd that ibe* asked Love what he meant by treats g his daughter in the way he had. Love did not reply, but tried to to strike him with the 'book he was U.F-.ng. Lova was croæ-summoned by Eli7.¡¡;beth Can- tello for uaing threats. She alleged he threaten to screw he? neck and tit row her into the canal. This abo was denied. The bench bound Cantello and Lore over to keep the peace for six months in the sum of &10 each.

I Great Anx!ety I I The wreck of the steamer has been the cau&e of great a-nxiety to the Suez Canal Commission. The veseel, hound from Middles- brough to Yokohama, caught fire in the cana.1 nea-r Rasel Eche. She was carrying I a larg,) general carpo, and in addition over 70 tons of dynamite. As a. coTtsequence the I, outbreak oa.ueed the greatest alarm om board II the ehip and on shore. The names, it will be re-called, had bee.n started through the I Ohatha.Tn colliding with the steamer Clan Cumming, amd so up&etting a. lajnp in the boa-tew!a.in's cabin. In spite of the highly explosive nature of the ca.rgo the crew worked xea.louely to subdue the namea, but ae there was a, danger of the fire reaching the hold in whi<;h the dynamite was stored they ultimately beat a. hurried retreat to shore. the navigation of the I ca.nal was entirely interrupted, ad every Rioment it was feared tha.t the ship would blow up. On September 6 she ea.nk, Mid tra-Sc was rksuii-,fd, but the danger wae by no means at an end. This closing of the dir&ct route to Asia, has caused coDst-erma.tion among steamship com- pa-nies a.rd in all the grea,t centres of com- merce. Only o.nce before has there been such delay in the Suez Cama.1 as this threatens to be, when, almost a genera-tiom ago, a vessel sa.nk and blocked the channel for eleven days. Then. in those lees bustling times, the long lines of steamships from all parts of the world wa.itod the clearing of the ca.na.1, amd in this present instance, too, it is proba-blo that moat vessels will have to do the sa-me, although it is likely that the Auetralia-n liners, which usually go through the caaa.1, will proceed by the West Coaat route. I tmportance of the Waterway I From omcdal st.aAiat.ic6 and facts prepaid for the Suez Canal Company the importajice of the waterway a-nd its leadimg part in dealing with the world's commerce Mid giving right-of-way to the ships of all nations may be gauged. Should the more peeahnietio opinions be correct and the ca<nal be closed for a'fortnight the loss to the world in time and, indirectly, in money will be incalcu- lable. For example, lact year 4,237 ships I paased through the Suez Ca.na.1. representing a toimage of 13,401,835, a. passenger list of 210,980. ajid r&&aipt9 for canal dues of 2,109,805 francs, or, in English money. JE84.400. Within the next fourteen d&ys the Peninsu- lar and Orienta.1 Compaay, the chief ueers of the canal, have eight steamers outward and homewa-rd bound, a.H of them booked to pass through the Suez CamaJ. AB illustrating the results of a. delay of ten days, Sgures show that from the let to the 10th of June 99 vessels parsed through the Suez Canal, amd from Ja.nua.ry 1 to Jume 10 2,018 ships uaed it. In the list of ahippiing compa-nies using the canal last year the P. a.Qd 0. Compajiy, with 242 passages, head the list, with the Hajisa., Holt, a<nd Cla.n lines following in that order. Great Britain easily heads the nations utilising the Suez Canal, with Fra.n<'e, Germa.ny, ajtd Hollajid ranking after. All these great commercial Powers are involved in the consequences of any delay in the cana.1. One-seventh of all our foreign commerce uaua-Hy parses through the ca<na,I, which was eleven years in conetruction, is 87 miles long, and 26ft. deep. On November 17, 1869, it was of&cia.Hy opened for tra-Sc, and has shortened by one-third all voyages to the East. It is one of the roma.nces of British statesmanship that nearly half of the 400,000 shares are held by our Government, a stroke of diplomacy due to the foresight of Lord Beaconsneld and Mr. Greenwood, of the "Pa,Il Mail Gazette." I How Card )ff)s Affected I The temporary closing of the canal will not occasion any material loss to Cardiff ship- owners. Cardiff steamers aje. of course, to be found on every sea, but the number likely to use the Suez Canal within, say, a. fortnight is not grea.t, and, as ample notice has been given, shipowners ho, been able to send orders to proe&ei via the Cape or await the re-opening of the cana.1, as the caee may warrant. During recent years increa.sing numbers of Cardiff steamers going to the F'ar Eaat proceeded via the Cape. and, it is. ctaimed, have saved monev by eo doing, the canal charges, particularly on certain ¡: of boats, being eo h€a.vy aa to make it more prontable to take the longer route.

SHOWMAN'S SHOCKSI
SHOWMAN'S SHOCKSI STARTUNGCARDtFF tNC!DENT One of the most famous of showmen, Mr. E. H. Bostock, the g-rea.t mena.gerie pro- priat-or, has just joined forcaa with Moes EnTfpires, a.nd rema.ms m charge of the GLaa- gow Zoo-Hippodrome, where he haa been for tthe pa.sb seven years. Mr. Bollock's has been a life crOowded with 11loiden.t-adve:J.t.urous a.nd otjjerw.ise. He was borQ at. Stoney 8hpaftford, in BuckiM&'hams.hire, 47 years ago, a.ud his motheT wa<6 a, neati' rektft.icn by mar- rLage wit.h Mr. Wombwell, wbo founded the o-rigiB'a.l magerje in 18C4. Bred amudst. such surroundings, MT. Bostock gained a. rema.rk- a.b!e knowledge of wild a.iumal life, and oan na.rra.te enough staxt,ling stories to nIL a. volume. Sa-id Mr. Bostock to the- writer:—"At Oafdin' a, licmess omce escaped. A new SooT was beimg ma-de to the oa.ge, and a. pa-rtd- tion w.a..a placed between t.he workmen and the animals. The floor made. the partition was drawn awa,y. Feeding time came. I was holding up the Besh. and shouted. Catch it, there. No. there.' And I Shifted the Ftesh About I Well then. come out and help yourself.' and I held the flesh back. To my horror, one of the lione.Tsos fell right out through the iron raiting door. The terror-stricken people ran to the exit. I darted forward and clo&ed the door, as the othPr lionesses were trying to get out. The escaped lionage rushed to the table on winch the flesh was laid. Procur- ing large &hr inters, which all menageries carry, the attndanta held them in front of them, and closed round the lionees. Then we lassoed her. That experience was exciting. Terrined as the people were, they aked for their money baok. I once witnessed an extraordinary inci- dent with an elephant. We were located in town, and a large African elephant was per- forming on a tub. "In thoae days naphtha lamps were sus- pended from a rope which stretched from pole to pole up the centre of the menagerie. The rope had been wet when it was fixed up, and towards the evening it had dried, and consequently had become slack. This elephant, as I &ay, was performing on the tub, and without any warning ita back touched the burner of a weM-&Iled naphtha lamp, the tube near the burner sna-pped, and instantly the blazing naphtha poured on to the elephant's back. The elephant at ones beca.me one huge blaze, the crowded Menagerie was Panic Stricken { the elephant waa ca-reering up and down, tumbling over, up again, and in and out amongst the excited people. It was an a.wful scene. Though the elephant knocked down many people, a.nd ran amoagrst them, I not one wa.s inj'ured. In three minutes the naphtha, had burned itself out." One elephant, after having been in Mr. Boetock's possession 25 yea<rs, suddenly went mad. I immediately shot him." eaid Mr. Boatock. "Then I advertised the fa<*t that al'. who caj*ed to see Cj dea,d elephamt had row the cha.nce of a. lifetime. For the next four days my exhibition was crammed to I excess, and I recouped myself sotnewha.t for that .61,003 loss. I I once had a. lady performer with me l who.?e fondest hope was to b& torn to pieces j by her pet lions. This was Mile. Charlotte i Pia-nka. She knew that inine'tenths of the lion-ta-mers sooner or later died violent dea,th8, and her only fear was lest the lions only did half their work a<nd left her a wounded wreck."
:Feeding Schoo) ChitdrenI
Feeding Schoo) Chitdren I LORD LONDONDERRY REPLIES TO SIR I JOHNGORST 1, Lord Londonderry, speaking a.t Bradford on Wednesday, &aid that the position of Minister of Education was not edtog.ether a bed of roses, pa.rticula.rly since the new Act, but he thought tha.t he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the interests of education in administering that Act. Speaking of the phye4ca.l deteriora.ttion a,nd the nnderfeedtDg of children Lord Londonderry saad tha.t it wa<s quite poasiMe. from their present school system, to attack these po'in.te, but they had no right to trespass upon the func- tions of the parents. It was the duty of the parente to watch over the health of their children. and not to expect the Boajd of Edu- cation to t' iL. Recently Sir John Gorst ha<d attacked the Boa.rd of Education for enforc- ing what ho called the teaching of children not fit to be taught. A Departmental Com- mittee hfd now been appointed, but wha,t had Sir John Gorst himself been doing in the seven :0,U'S he was Vice-Frcsident of the Board of Educa-ticn. Such a-tta-cks from a j former Minister who bad not dcaJt with the I questions himself were unfair.

Mr. Morgan Rees pro- posed The Navy." Mr. Charles Moore, one of the local Admiralty agents, and aieo a regatta winner, suitably responded.—The toast of The Town and Trade of Car- din' was spoken to by Messrs. W. J.

DEFENCE OF LONDON I
DEFENCE OF LONDON I The decisive battle of the Army manoeuvres was fought on Wednesday at Marrow. General ScobeII's attacking army. marching on London, had reached the hills north of the Thames between Ma-rlow and Cookha,m. Shortly after daybreak Gemera.1 French set his army in motion to give battle. Thousands of men were poured across bridge's and pon- toons from the c&mps at Temple Park and Hurley, whilst Genera.1 Euttom's division swept romid from Henley on the ertreme left.
