B16 STRIKE BEGUN.
B16 STRIKE BEGUN. FACTORIES CLOSED. Petersburg in Darkness ARREST OF RINGLEADERS ST. PETERSBURG, Friday Night. A general strike has begun here. In the greater part of the city there is no electric light, and the majority of the trams and river steamers are not running. Some fifteen thousand hands left various factories, in- cluding the Phoenix Works, at three o'clock this afternoon. The council of workmen's delegates is co- operating heart and soul with the revolution- ary committees, and this morning addressed an eloquent appeal to the labouring classes to assist in throwing off the yoke of tyranny. Orders have been issued to the railway em- ployes in St. Petersburg to stop work at midnight to-night, and the railway men at Moscow have been directed to come out ?t noon to-morrow. Later. The strike is assuming considerable propor- tions. Most of the factories in the Wyborg district are closed. The railway stations are strongly occupied by troops. No collisions 'between the strikers and the troops have occurred up to the preaent.-Reuter. RINGLEADERS ARRESTED. ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. I A telegram from Usofga. Ekatermoslav of yesterday says that a body of police and two squadrons of dragoons entered the town at three o'clock in the morning, and arrested the ringleaders of the strike whilst they were in bed. When the workmen discovered this they assembled, to the number of 4,000, and attempted to set their oomradee free. i collision with the troops ensued, a.nd a um bers were wounded. All the agitators were arrested and marched off by the gold i er.Reul,,er. OFFICER'S ADVENTURE. ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. An interesting detail in connection with the Cronstadt mutiny is that the insurgents wore black bands on their caps to distin- guish them from loyalists. Captain Krinilzky had almost a miraculous escape art Cronsta-dt. He was arrested by the mutinous sailors, and hustled into a spacious avenue, where a court-martial was hastily arranged, the members including civilians and women. He was condemned to death, and sentence was about to be carried out-, when the cry was ra-ised that the Yenissei Regiment were coming; thereupon, Captain Krinitzky made 0. dash for liberty, and escaped, none of the shots which were fired touching him.-Press Association Special. HEI/SINGFORS, Saturday. Through the courtesy of the British Con- sul, I obtained permission from the Gover- nor-General to visit the main island of Sveaborg. The results of the firing were everywhere evident. The fortress bore many signs of bombardment, and great rents in the walls, holes in the roofs, and broken windows told their own tale. The Com- mandant's house was so badly battered that his excellency had to seek ot-her quarters. In the small section of the island, which remained in the hands of loyalists, hardly a single house was undamaged. The streets were strewn with fragments of shell, grape shot, and shrapnel. The tower of the Pier Barracks, on which was t.he flag staff, was much knocked about, and Svea-borg Church, which bears marks of the Anglo-French bombardment of 1855, on its walls and on the Ikon inside, was also struck by the insuTgents shell, though it was severely damaged. Helsingfors now presents the appearance of a camp. Troops with quick-firers are drawn up around the harbour, and are encamped in otfher parte of the town.—Press Association Special. TO OVERAWE THE PEOPLE I ST. PETERSBURG, Friday (1L30 p.m.). The Constitutional Democratic organ, Reitch," has -been suspended indefinitely, by order of the St. Petersburg authorities, in anticipation of labour riots. Steamers, with Quio-k-firiug guns OIl their decks, Are cruising up and down, the Neva. It is understood that some Labour members of the late Duma were among tboee arrestied both at Oveeborg and Kronstadt.—Reuter. HELSINGFOBS, Saturday. It is impossible to obtain, an accurate return of the casualties during the Sveaborg mutiny. They are now believed to number 600, and 1,000 massing. Seventy-five members of the Bed Guard and two offioers were arrested. A mutiny occurred on board the cruiser BogatyT, but was quelled. Two hundred Bailers were arrested.—Reut«r. ST. PETERSBURG, Friday. The first railway to strike was the line to Sestrovesk, one of the most fashionable and popular watering-places otn the Gulf of Finland. It is thronged in the summer by thousands of officials and other prominent members of society. The missing vessel, Abrolf, which was abandoned by the mutineers, arrived at Kronstadt to-day. The funeral of Professor Hertzemstetn, the mur- dered member of the Duma, will take plaoo at Terioki.—Rerater.

Coal-Trimming Tariff. I
Coal-Trimming Tariff. I ANOTHER JOIN r CONFERENCE: MR. CHAPPELL HOPEFUL 'A roniere-nce took place on Friday aIt) the Cardiff Exchange between the represen- tatives of the Cardiff coal exporters and the committee appointed by the coal-trimmers to negotiate with the shipowners for p. revision of the coal-trimming tariff. Mr. H. A. Griffin, chairman of the coal exporters, presided. A letter from the shipowners was read, in which it was intimated that at their meeting last Monday they had decided to reject Bntdrely the proposals of the coal-trimmere and to adhere to thedr former offer. The meeting was of comparatively short Juration, and it was decided that the ooal- trimmers should lay the decision before their executive at a masting this (Saturday) even- Lng. Probably a. mass meeting of the men will be held to consider the matter in the course of a few days. meet likely Sunday week. It will be remembered that in the report of the shipowners' meeting last Monday it i was stated that the shipowners intended to adhere to their modified proposals for the Tevisiom of the trimming tariff. These modi- ned propomls, we underbtand, represent a. very considerable reduction on the original proeposals of the shipowners, and, although! it is improbable that the coal-trimmere will aocept them, they will doubtless be discussed in a more friendly spirit than was the case with the original proposals. The statement as to the breaking off of negotiations whioh appeared elsewhere has no justification. One of our representatives saw Mr. John Ohappeil, president of the Coal-trimmers Union, and he said that he was still very hopeful that the dispute would be settled without any cessation of labour. i

Charge of Conspiracy.
Charge of Conspiracy. ATTEMPT TO PREVENT A WITNESS ALLEGED. I At Glamorgan Assizes to-day the trial was resumed of William Roderick, 39, late of the Three Horse Shoes, Gabalfa, who was charged, along with Allen Clare, 35, clerk, with conspiring to attempt to defeat the ends of justice by pre- venting Grace Ellen Byng, a material witness on behalf of the Crown in an indictment preferred at Gla.morgail1 Assizes against Roderick for felony, from appearing to give evidence, between January 1 and the 3rd of June last year at Swansea. Mr. Ivor Bowen prosecuted, Mr. Lloyd Morgan, M.P., appeared for Roderick, and Mr. Morgan Morgan for Clare. The first witness called for the prosecution this morning was Ada Davies, wife of William Davies, 65, Church-road, Newport, who stated that in March last she lived in Lansdowne-road, Cardiff. Mrs. Roderick called upon her, and asked her if she would like to go home for a trip to see her mother at Haverfordwest. She replied that she could not go, as her husba-nd was not home. After she went with Mrs. Roderick to Cardiff. where a ticket was purchased, amd she journeyed to Swansea. They went to some publichouse near the station. There she met Mrs. Byng, the girl Grace Ellen Byng, and Mr. Roderick After- wards they went to Haverfordwest. Witness went to her mother's house, and on the following day she returned from Haverford- west with Mrs. Roderick and left the girl with her mother. When they went to Haver- fordwest Roderick saw tihem Off. Elizabeth Elias, wife of William Elias, 19 r Bndgend-square, Haverfordwest, stated that she re-memhered her daughter, Mrs. Byng, and the gifl calling on her at the time men- tioned. On the following day witness's daughter and Mrt. Roderick returned to Cardiff, and Grace Eleen Byng, stayed at her house. In June, Roderick called, and wanted to take the girl a.way. Witness said that she wanted the girl's parents to go with her, and later the girl left with Mrs. Byng and Roderick. Evidence was then given by a clerk from the White Star Line, Liverpool, showing tha-t Gwennie William" sailed by the Majestic to America, jE9 10 being paid for the passage (second cabin). Police-sergeant J. Davies, formerly of Sketty, said he had made inquiries, pnd found that Clare had sent luggage from I Penarth to Liverpool which he had consigned in a foreign name, and had also consigned luggage from Liverpool to Swansea., and then to No. 4, Walter-terrace, Mumbles. Witness I saw the Byngs, who seemed to be Flush of Money. I They told him the story of the affair. Detective-inspector Lewis, of Swansea, said that he arrested Clare outside the police- station, Cardiff, in March last. Witness told Clare he was wanted on a charge of conspiracy with Roderick, and he replied, I had nothing to do with it." He also said said he came from London of his own accord to see about it. With regard to Roderick witness received him in custody on March 15th, and, in reply to the charge, he said I will wait for my solicitor." This was the case for the prosecution. THE DEFENCE. I I}, Hen Clare then went into the witness-box. In answer to Mr. Morgan Morgan, he said that he resided out Finsbury Park, London. In January, 1905, he represented a wine and spirit firm and called on Roderick. The latter said he was in great trouble, and asked witness to walk with him as far as Cathays- terrace. When with Roderick he was reluc- tant at first and until Roderick said, "Yon might do this for me, a.nd in the mean- time put me six dozens of wine." When When they got to Cathays-terrace, Roderick was- very much upset, and would not go in. He said that the parents of the girl had threatened him with proceedings for the seduction. Mrs. Byng answered the door, and took witness to the back-room where he saw Mr Byng, and said he had called for Mr. Roderick. In conversation the assault was mentioned, and Byng suggested that Roderick should pay £ 100. Witness said that sum was ridicu- lous,, but Byng replied that he understood Roderick was wealthy and owned several public-houses. The question of producing the girl at the assizes was never mentioned, and witness denied the story told by the Byngs. By his Lordship: He never said if they ddi not appear at the assizes that the case would fall through. He admitted paying 110 to the husband, and he signed the receipt. He offered the sum of to Byng, but it was not to keep the child from appearing at the assizes. Witness never said he was a solicitor or came from Roderick's family. (PROCP, ING.)
-I IYESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.I
YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. When the case was opened yestsrday after- noon, Mr. Ivor Bowen stated that Roderick on the 3rd of January last year had in his employment a servant girl named Grace Ellen Byng, a girl under sixteen years of age. On the 3rd of January, it was said, Roderiok committed a, criminal assault upon the girl, and on the 5th of January he wae arrested on the charge. Oini the 9th of January he was taken before the magistrates ait Llandaff, and evidence taken. Grace Ellen Byng was called, and Roderick was then committed to the assizes, and admitted to bail. At that time Grace Ellen. Byng was living with her parents at Cardiff. Between the 9th and the 29th of January the prisoner Clare came upon the scene and went to the mother of Grace Ellen Byng, and represented himself as a solicitor acting for Roderick, and asked whether terms could be made with regard to the case. He sug- gested that they should move from Cardiff. They came to Swansea on the 6th of February, and on the 20th of February Clare came down to Swansea and gave Byng's father two sums of £ 10 and obtained a receipt for the money. Late on in February Roderick came down to Swansea from Car- diff and made an appointment to meet the By.nga at a public-house at Swansea, and, after some conversation there, there was a subsequent meeting with Byng, the father. On March 8 Roderick, with Mrs. Roderick, his wife, and Mrs. Davies, came down to Swansea and took Mrs. Byng, the mother of the girl, and the girl herself away to Haverfordwest. The ac-sizes were held on May 16 at Cardiff. The girl was called, but was missing. The case was put off to the next assizes on June 25. Roderick met the Byngs again, and on the 26th of Jusne Roderick and Mra. Byng went to Haver- fordwest, took the girl away to Liverpool, and shipped her to America. The assizes were then held at Swansea, when the girl again did not appear. The indictment was to have been tried at the last asisizes at Cardiff, but the Lord Chief Justice thought it would be better to postpone it to this jaesizes, because Clare had not been found. Subsequently he surrendered. In the case of the girl, she was still in America, and the charge against the prisoner as regards her could not be taken in her absence. Mr. Charles James Ridley, second clerk of assize, produced the two true bills preferred against Roderick which had been ordered to stand over from assize to assize. He also produced the depositions and recognisances. Poli-ce-constable Bolton, Pontypridd, for- merly of Maindy, proved arresting Roderick, and also that Grace Ellen Byng had given evidence against him at Llandaff. She was bound over to appear at the assizes in March, 1905. When he called at the Byngs' house in Cardiff before the assizes he found they had gone, and the girl did not appear as a witness. The case was post- poned from assize to assize. Mrs. Caroline Byng, Owm-road, Swansea, mother of the girl, stated that her daughter came to her after the police-court proceed- ings. On January 9, about seven or eight days after, Olare came to see her about the case, and said he did so, not on Roderick's account, but on account of his family. He asked her if she was quite willing to take the girl to the assizes. She replied, What else can I do P I am bound over." He said that did not matter. What matter was it whether she turned up or not, and he arlded Would not a few: pounds be far better than taking the girl to the assizes." The witness then proceeded to give a full story as to Clara's visit, coming at last to a written agreement and payment of L10 by Clare to her husband, who gave a receipt for the money. She and her husband agreed to take away the girl. They oame to Swan- sea, and stayed at 91, Norfolk-street. Three weelm later Claire visited them, and sug- gested that the girl should go to service in London. Her husband received a second sum of X10. In June Roderick paid her a visit, and told her he bad arra/nged for the girl to go to America on condition that she would accompany them to Liverpool. On June 27 they left Haverfordwest, and jour- neyed to Liverpool, Roderick paying the ex- penspe. Witness went to the offices of the White Star Line at Liverpool, and Roderick paid for a ticket for her daughter, in the name of Gwennie Wil- liams, for Columbia, Ohio. The girl sailed by the Majestic, and witness received letters tromher out there ekddrwged to Wii- Jiams." This was an armmgement made by Roderick. Cross-examined by Mr. Morgan Morgan, the witness said that when Clare called on her he did not mention Roderick's name, but only that of the family. She had never suggested compensation. At the first inter- view with Clare he told her not to produce the girl. Clare had not-hing whatever to do with her daughter nor with her going to America. He only suggested she should go into service. Eli Byng, husband of the last witness, spoke to Clare asking him to come to an agreement not to take the girl to the assizes, and offered £50 to keep the child away. He told Clare he would have nothing to do with 'him, but subsequently, after some talk, wit- ness got R.10 on account of the P,50, and gave a receipt for it. At Clare's snggestion he took his family, including the girl, to Swansea, Another JS10 was paid and a receipt given. These sums were all he received from Clare. There was another receipt for £10, but he denied the signature to it as receiving the money. When he saw Roderick later the latter asked him how much money he had received from Clare. He replied that he had got £20, to which Roderick said that Clare was a scamp as he had given him JE50 to give to witness. Further, he was told that Clare was not a solicitor, but that he was a traveller living at Penarth. When Clare was next seen be said the same thing about Roderick, and that the sooner witness took the girl to the assizes the better. The case was adjourned until to-day, bail being refused.

Harry Radford, 61, a Bristolian, who was charged with begging before the Cardiff magistrates this morning, stated in extenna-, tion of his offence that he had come out of prison yesterday morning very badly clothed, and he had to beg. The Court Missionary said he had begged a shirt and waistcoat for the defendant, a.nd he was surprised that the prison authorities should have allowed him to go out in such a state. He was almost nude with the excep- tion. of his pants and coat. The Bench adjourned the case in order to 6100 whether defendant would leave the city.

To Train Marksmen. I TELEGRAPH MESSENGERS AND RIFLE I SHOOTING. A miniature rifle range for training and encouraging the Cardiff telegraph boys in rifle shooting has been opened by the l postmaster (Mr. II. E. Spenceley), who was supported by Dr. A. E. Taylor (medical officer), Mr. J. EvanB (chief clerk), M.r. J. T. Stirling (telegraph superintendent), Mr. G. B. Loyns (postal superintendent), Mr. W. Chambers (Cardiff Rifle Club), Mr. J. Mayieey, and others. Mr. Spenceley, in addressing the boys, stated that the War Department had supplied them with up-to-date, serviceable weapons, and he hoped to pee some excellent results from the training they would undergo under their inspectors, many of whom were trained marksmen. Dr. Taylor, speaking of rifle shooting as a recreation, poisfced out the advantages of an early traill:ing in the proper handling of the rifle. The excellence of, the Boers in marks- manship was world-renown, and the young Boers were all trained shots from their earliest years. The range, which is situated in a large "basement chamber on. the Post-office premises in Westgate-st-reet, and is adapted both for daylight and night shooting, is believed to be one of the most commodious and up-to- date in the country. The first shot was fired by the postmaster, who scored a split bull, and same excellent practice was "By' ebnie of the lads. ——

I CARDIFF  HEIRESS. I t. m —— I More Amusing Letters. I I" BOOKS IS MY ONLY FRIEND." I Letters offering marriage, and beseeching financial assistance, continue to reach Miss Lizzie Williams, cook at the Blue Anchor Hotel, Cardiff, who is understood to have .become legatee to a considerable sum of money from a deceased relative in America. One suitor, writing from Evesham, franrkly admits that he is not in a poeition to marry, for he considers that marriage is a state which demands an inoome of at least £ 100 a year to BUPpliment it, while his wages has not been much more than half that amount. May ba, he is too sentimental in this work- a-day world, for he writes:- I have been leading a lonely life, eharing I my thoughts with the poets, such as Shakespeare, Byron, Whitten, Moore, and others. Books is my one and only friend. A Liverpool woman, now resident in Antwerp, offer Miss Williams a home with I her. She says she is the wife of a ship's officer, and to &oothe her loneliness needs a I companion. This is an extract from her letter:— I am not in a position to pay anyone, but thought as you have sufficient to keep yourself you would be a companion for me. We are not big people; we are just homely. Of course, when you were tired of staying in Antwerp you could always make a change to suit you. As you are just an everyday sort of girl, and we are everyday sort of folks, I do not hesitate to write to you. The lady encloses stamps for a reply. Eastbourne Hard Up After giving a hint that he is hard np through being out of work an Eastbourne correspondent writes:- Do not forget you may be on the thres- hold of getting wealth and all that follows in its train, but all the money in the world cannot purchase the price of your own soul. Get right with God, and you can defy the world with its passing and fleet- ing fascinations. I Disinterested.

My dearest lady,-i hope you will please pardon the grea-t liberty I am taking in writing you these few lines, but I just happened by chance to pick up a paper, and the first thing I saw was your case, which I must congratulate you on your good luck if you get .it all right,: but the reason I am writing to you is because when I was staying at Cardiff a week or two ago, a few months ago, I got to know you threw seeing you in tihe street, and followed you home, and I saw you about 4 times after, and I can honestly tell you that the first time I ea/w you I thought there was not a girl in this wide world like you, but I was told that you had a lover, so I ddd not like to push myself in another's place, so, althou I was mad in love with you, I came away without telling you, but now, on seeing in the paper that there were so many writing to you, I thought I would write and ask you weather there reaJy is another or not; if there is not, then not/hi ng shall stop me from winning you for .myself. My dear Miss, I can honestly and faithfully promise you that if you will only trust your happyness to me, if you have no other, you shall never have the least reason to regrelt it, for anthing that lies in my powers to do to make you happy and comfortable. I will do anthing for you as long as I have health to do so, but please think its your money that is tempting me. because I know you and love you before I ever knew of that, sa. that will make no differents to me. Your most affectionately.

Disastrous StormsI
Disastrous Storms HAVOC WROUGHT IN VARIOUS PARTS I OF THE COUNTRY. The terrific thunderstorms which broke over Guildford on Thursday evening proved more disastrous than was a.t first suppose J. A second death from injuries caused by fa.ll- ing tress occurred in hospital on Friday in the person of a lad named Voice, aged four- teen, while his elder brother is in a critical condition, suffering from concussion of the brain. Great havoc was wrought, telegraph and telephone lines and telegraph poles for a quarter of a mile on Hogs' Backs being swept away, and telegraphic communication stopped in all directions. Two chimney- stacks on the railway station premises were blown down and crashed through the root on to the platform and main lobby, where a lady had a miraculous escape, a bicycle she was wheeling being buried in the debris. She 'herself escaped with braises. Seats on the platform were blown on to the per- manent way, and trucks were blown off the rails into the goods' yard. The line was blocked for some time by fallen trees, whilst large numbers of fine trees in Losely Park and Stoke Park were uprooted. The roofs of several houses were stripped off, chimney stacks were blown down, and numerous windows were broken by hailstones. Houses in the lower parts of the town were inun- dated and growing corn and fruit crops seriously damaged. The storm seemed to be conoontil"alt.ed at Guildford, districts on either side sustaining comparatively little damage. A Dunbar telegram says:-A farmer, of Edrom, near Duns, was found lying dead in one of his fields on Friday, having been struck by lightning during a severe thunder- storm in Berwickshire. Eleven sheep were killed by lightning. For two hours rain fell like a. waterspout, and, consequently, the loss to farmers will be very heavy. A St. Neot's telegram reports a terrible hailstorm in Bedfordshire and Huntington- shire on Thursday n-ight, involri-ng the wide- spread ruin of crops.

DID NOT WANT A WASH. I
DID NOT WANT A WASH. Newport Man Steals 31b. of Soap "Did he want a waeh?" asked the magie- trates'-clerk (Mr. T. Summers) at Newport on Friday, when a middle-aged man named Edward Fitzgerald, was charged with steal- ing 31b. of soap from the Liverpool Wharf. No," replied Detective Tanner, he was fairly clean." On being charged, prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done, and would not repeat the offence for £30 adding. It's the drink and my old woman is the cause of me doing it." The yard foreman at the wharf said pri- soner had been employed as an auxiliary on and off at the wharf for the past six years. Mr. Philip Ma/inwaring, the manager, on being asked if he wished to press the case said, he was glad to think they had caught at least one of the thieves, for. during the past week his firm had had to pay no less than 36s. for lost goods, and since Saturday had lost thirteen packets. The Chairman (Mr. T. Cordey) said the bench considered this a very serious charge from the faet that prisoner, who was well acquainted with the whole of the warehouses, had an advantage over a stranger if he chose to pilfer. He would be fined 40s. or one month.

1Ynysddu Woman's Death
1 Ynysddu Woman's Death I MYSTERIOUS SUGGESTIONS AT THE I INQUEST. IRefutation of a Scandalous Report A considerable amount of public interest was taken in an inquest which was con- ducted at the Black Prince Hotel, YnyBddu, on Friday, by Mr. M. Roberts Jones, into the death of a woman named Mrs. Frances Jane Pranois, who resided with her husband, Williaan Francis, collier, Miaindee-road, Owm. felinfach, Ynysddu, and who died on Tuesday night rather suddendly. William Francis, the husband. said that he had been lodging in Ynysddu for about eigiil months, and during that time his wife had been living with the family at Llantriascnt. She left Lla-ntrissent to go to Ynysddu a week last Saturday. She lived with him until her death, and they were on good terms. The Coroner: There is a suggestion that she committed suicide, and I wish you to remove all suspicion if you possibly can. Do you think she committed euioide ?-No, sir. Had she been in the habit of taking salts of any kind ?-None except Epsom salts, which she took fairly regularly. When living at Tonypandy, before she went to Llan- trissent, she had to undergo an operation. That was nearly three years ago, and she attended Cardiff Hospital iae an out-patient for about two years. She had often oom- plained of pains about her heart. She was not very well when she arrived at Ynysddu, but he did not call in a doctor until Tues- day, when he called in Dr. Roberts. That was the day of her death. He had never heard her threaten to do away with herself, and there had never been anything between tihem about another woman. By the Coroner: He was told that his wife was ill by Mrs. Berry, a former neighbour, who had known her for about two years. Mr. and Mrs. Berry came to live at Ynysddu. at Christmas time, as also did he, a.nd he lodged with them in their house. It was not true that he and Mrs. Berry kept his wife out of the house for 8!bout an hour amd a half on the date that she arrived in Ynysddu. He had been a persona.l friend of Mr. Berry's for about two years, amd he had told his wife of the things that were being said. She laughed, and said she could not make out how people could say such things. He haod had a few words with Mr. Berry, bat had never been turned out of his house, although Mr. Berry asked him to leave, and said he would have to get new lodgings. He after- wa.rds withdrew what he said. Mr. Berry said that he asked Francis to leave his house over some lies which were told by another person whom they after- wards made to apologise. The matter over which they quarrelled had nothing whatever to do with the death of Mra. Francis, and he did not think that she committed suicide. By a Juror: Mr. Francis and he had some words a few weeks ago. Proceeding, the juror said that he could bring witnesses forward who heard Berry make the assertion that he found Francis in a compromising position, and that it was the cause of the quarrel. Berry: It's a lie. I never said it to any living person, and never thought such a thing. The Juror: It is public-house talk, and I can get witnesses who heard you use the words. Berry: No such words ever passed my lips. By the Coroner: His wife left him about that time, but it was through a few words which they had owing to his hot temper. Mrs. Berry, who was the next witness called, said that she had a few words with her husband on the day referred to, which led to his striking her. The matter had nothing whatever to do with Mrs. Francis. By Superintendent Porter: She had waited upon Mrs. Francis for three months in Tonypandy, and also at Ynysddu, but had never prepared anything for her. On the Monday before she died she said she would take a dose of Epsom salts, and a little boy was sent for a packet. She (witness) had never given Mrs. Francis any medicine, and the last that she saw of the salts was when the boy brought them back from the shop. On the following morning Mrs. Francis made a statement to her about them, and said she would lie in bed for a time. On the Monday deceased had been washing all day long in the sun without anything on her head. and witness thought it must have affected her brain. Dr. Roberts, Ynysddu, said he had com- menced a poet-mortem examination, but had been unable to examine the intestines, and he thought it would be advisable to adjourn the inqoest for a fortnight in order that the parts might be submitted to an analyst. The Coroner pointed out that there was only a very vague suspicion that deceased I took anything, but in order to avoid sus- picion he would adjourn the inquest for the I examination. Superintendent Porter also intimated that he would be glad of an adjournment, and the further inquiry waa postponed for a fortnight.

Starters -and -Selectionsi
Starters and Selectionsi ALEXANDRA PARK, Saturday Morning. f Goodwood escaped the thunderstorms of J Thursday night, and yesterday, when the I meeting: was brought to a close, dust was whirled about in blinding clouds. The wind was exceedingly boisterous, but the sun was again in evidence, and, taken altogether, people had little to grumble at their Good- wood experiences. In the event of the day, the Chesterfield Cnp, the Australian horse, j Great Soot, who had won the Viceroy's Cup in India, made his first appearance in this country, but he was quite unfancied, and it wiH be a long time before he becomes accli- matised. Ohaucer and Velocity almost exactly reproduced their Aintree form, a head only dividing them at the finish. Full Cry was fancied, but she failed to stay the course, and Manton gained another impor- tant success with Gold Eiach, who cleverly held Velocity and Chaucer at bay. St, Day I ran well, and is worth making a note of. To-day Londoners will journey to Alexandra Park, where rport will look very small, indeed, after Goodwood. In the Alexandra. Welter a held of eight runners is probable. Sweet Katie has arrived, but I cannot fancy her with 9st 91b. Captain Kettle ran a good second to Aid at Wolverhampton, and may prove the danger to LET GO THE PAINTER, I who mn a good third to Speculor and Best I Light in the London Cup. This is his favourite course, and, if Madden rides, he I ehould be good business. Detailed selections fouow: Municipal Handicap.-FRANGES ISOBEL. Maiden PI ate-GAL CÜ LA TOR. Manor Welter-FBA-XINUS.

ISCALED FIFTEEN-FEET WALL.I
I SCALED FIFTEEN-FEET WALL. I Borstal Prisoner Escape. I A prisoner named Caney escaped from the reformatory prison at Borstal yesterday morning. He was being exercised in the yard, and whilst the warder's back was turned scaled the flfteen-feet wall, being quickly away from the precincts of the prison. The man is believed to have taken refuge in the Bridge Woods, on the main road from Rochester to Ma.idstone. Ganey, who is twenty years of age, is a native of Maidstone, and when he escaped was dressed only in prison trousers, shirt, and boots; his jacket and vest being left behind. Throughout the day diligent search wae made for the fugitive, and last evening his position was believed to have been located. The prison authorities sought the assistance of the Rochester police and others, and thoroughly scoured the woods, but up to the time of teiegraphing Oaney's whereabouts I had not been discovered. Borstal Prison is now only used as a place of detention for juvenile criminals, and at I present some 250 are confined there. Escape from it have been numerous. The search for Caney has so far been un. successful. It is surmised that the fugitive, is ootnooalixig himpelf in the woods overlook- ing the River Medway. When he decamped I he was clad only in the prison shirt and trousers. Search parties started out again this morning, and the police about the neighbourhood axe 00 the look-out.
