A LONDON SUiCiDE
A LONDON SUiCiDE SINGULAR LETTER. A Mother in Cardiff. In the Westminster Ooroner's Oonrt on Tuesday Mr. John Trontbeek oondnoted, an 1 inquiry with reference to the death of George Herbert Whereat, aged 42, of no j occupation, who committed, suicide by poisoning himself at hie rooms in Tachbrook- street, Plimlico. Miss Irene Marian Lamb, of Orchard-road, Belvedere, Kent, said she and her family had known the deceased for a great many years. Her mother found him and his wife starving and took them in, and his wife afterwards died. Witness's mother had begged her never to desert him, but. owing to an alteration in their household arrange- ments she was unable longer to support him, and he recently left them to go and live in Pimlico. His mother was a very rich woman, living in Newport-road, Cardiff, but she would do nothing for her eon. The deceased had nevel" followed any occupation, although he was brought up to the electro- plating trade, but he felt he was getting too old to look for employment. He did not drink, generally had good health, and had never to her knowledge threatened his life. Witness last saw him a week ago, when she assisted him, but he was aware that nothing more could be done for him Julian Sherington, of Tachbrook-street, said that on Sunday he heard groans pro- ceeding from the deceased's room, a.nd on going up found Mr. Whereat lying on the bed unconscious, and apparently dying. He saw a ljoz. bottle labelled, "Laudanum- Poison." A police-constable deposed to being called to the deceased and calling in a, doctor. In the room witness found the following letter in the deceased's haiTdwriting kddreesed to Miss Lamb:- My darling Irene,—I oannot live this life any longer, so am going to end it. I wanted to see you again, but could not, having no money. How I long for the days that are past. Give my fondest love to the children. I die on Sunday evening, the 12th. in another note addressed to his mother the deceased wrote:— Dear Mater.-Forgive me for doing this, but I am off my head.—Your loving eon, HERBERT. Dr. Lndwig Freyberger, who made an Jmtopsy, said death was due to opium poisoning. The jury returned a verdict of "Suieide during temporary insanity." Deceased's Card iff Relatives. I Mrs. Whereat, the mother of the deceased, lives with Mr. and Mrs. Mathews, her son-in- itafw and daughter, at 176, Newport-road, but is at present staying at Clift-on with some friends. One of our representatives called upon Ifr. Matthews on Tuesday evening, and he said that the news of the tragedy had been sent to him and his wife by the caretaker of the mortuary. Mr. Mathews was unwilling to make any statement as to the career of the deceased or any of the circumstances which led up to his death. The statement contained in the report of the inquest that deceased's mother is very rich and that she refused to fcelp her son is quite untrue. Mr. Whereat never lived in Wales, and, therefore, was not known locally.

Ben- nett) decided, at the end of June, to go on a trading trip acroes the Kafue River. On «urriving at the river they knocked together & rough boat, on which they placed all their be1ongln, and then embarked. When in mid-stream a crocodile attacked the boat and upeet it, Bennett and Warman both being j left floundering in the water. They struck iout for the opposite shore, which Bennett reached, but on looking round he saw the I crocodile seize Waxman's leg and drag him under the water. Mr. Bennett, had a watch kept of the water for three days. but the body could not be found. He then had to travel 300 miles before he reached a white man's abode at Buna. Mr. Warman was 31 years of age, and left Bwansea about six years ago to take up a position on the railway at Salisbury, Rhodesia.

CAPE COLONY'S PROTEST. The decision of the English Courts on the subject of the liability of the De Beers Com- pany to pay income-tax in England gave rise to discussion in the Cape House of Assembly on Tuesday afternoon, when Mr. Fremantle raised the question of the Imperial Government's action in imposing income- tax on South African companies. Mr. Merriman, leader of the Opposition. inoved the following as an unopposed inotion:- This House regrets the action of the Imperial Government in levying the income-tax on companies which originated in South Africa, and which to all intents and purposes are South African under- takings, and desires most respectfully to point out that such a, proceeding may have far-reaching consequences prejudicial to the be-st- interests of the Empire.

POISONS ON FRUITS. M. Henri Bellot des Minieres, in a, letter published in yesterday's "Times," gives the ollowillg warning to agriculturalists regard- ing the use of insecticides: — To sprinkle copper and lime solutions upon anyt-i-,lg which may be drunk or eaten by beasus, fowl:?, bids, game, or human beings is but a diabolical practice grafte4 on a mon- etrous blunder. I know," he continues, that when there are neither rain nor manual washings in due ,time"-to remove the cupric oxide from the leaves—" every year lots of men, women, girls, boys, birds, fowl, game, &c., are poi- soned and die from having eaten grapes from our vineyards, or strawberries, rasp- berries, currants, beans, tomatoes, Ac., which, directly or indirectly, have been sub- mitted to these solutions."

A runaway fruit van dashed into a passenger train. It was attached to the rear of the 8.42 train from Lanark to Glasgow, and on arriving at Holytown Wat; detached so that it might be sent on to Edinburgh. When the Lanark to Glasgow train resumed its journey the detached fruit van followed, as the brake had failed to act. The driver, on reaching Uddingston, was signalled to go ahead, as something was following, but the guard, not being aware of what had occurred, applied his brake, and the train was brought to a standstill. Shortly after- wards the runaway van dashed into the train, but happily the only vehicles damaged were a couple of trucks- Eleven pers?ng suffered from shock, but no one was seriously hurt. The following is a list of the injured:— Mrs. Buchanan, 200, Vv'addell-street, Glas- gow, shock and injury to back. John Buchanan, her son, shock and eye injuries. James Bussell, 1.

I -London Coliseum.
I London Coliseum. IS] 60,000 OFFERED FOR THE PROPERTY Reported Bid of Paris Syndicate The Central Kews says:- Colonel Henry Mapleson, president of the International Society of Music, has arrived in London, for the purpose of acquiring the Coliseum, if possible, with a view of con- verting it into a grand opera-house. Colonel Mapleson is backed by a Paris syndicate, and he has offered Mr. Oswald Stoll, managing director of the Coliseum Com- pany, £ 160,000. This offer will be submitted to the debenture-holders as soon as a meeting can be convened." According to the last balance-sheet of the company, made up to December 31, 1906, the London Coliseum cost as fouows:- Purchase of property £ 139,215 Construction and furnishing X167,880 Total £ 357,095 Exclusive of £ 25,996 preliminary expenses and £27,250 expended in productions, properties, &c. There was then outstanding:- First debentures for £ 114,088 Bank overdraft and loans £ 51,207 Sundry debtors P,33,062 £ 198,357 Since that date it is computed that, including debenture interest accrued, the further loss on the undertaking has been over £ 30,000, making in all about £ 230,000 in debentures, and due to creditors, which must be satisfied before the preference and ordinary shareholders can get anything. The sum of L160,000, after deducting the first debentures and interest, would lerve only about £ 43,000 to satisfy over £ 110,000 in second debentures and ordinary creditors. It is obvious, therefore, that nothing would be left lor the re-payment of the £ 18,965 pre- ference and £ 196,000 ordinary capital. Statement by Mr. Stoll. Mr. Oswald Stoll informs us that Colonel Mapleson has been endeavouring to negotiate on behalf of some unnamed syndicate. Mr. P. W. Carey, of Cardiff, one of the Coliseum directors, said he had not been informed of the offer, but knew Mr. Stoll had received three or four offers, which he was considering. Mr. Oarey added that "even at L160,000 it would be a great sacrifice, for the building cost more than X300,000 to erect."
COMPENSATION AWARDS AT .TREDEGAR.
COMPENSATION AWARDS AT TREDEGAR. Judge Owen arbitrated on several com- pensation cases at Tredegar on Tuesday. The case of Lemuel Rogers and John Lancaster and Oo. was again before the court. Mr. J. Sankey (instructed by Mr. T. S. Edwards, Newport) was for Rogers, and Mr. A. Parsons (instructed by Mr. Frank Lewis, Newport) for the company.—The Medical Referee reported that the man was still suffering from the effects of the accident, and would never be fit to follow his work as a collier.—Mr. Parsons applied for the diminu- tion of the compensation of Li a week, as the man was not anxious to do work as long as he received that amount.—His Honour feared that a number of men were quite satisfied when they got Cl a week compensation, and did not try to do anything else.-The amount was reduced to 10s. a week, with costs on Scale B. Mr. Ivor Bowen applied on behalf of John Lancaster and 00. (Limited) for the discon- tinuation of £ 1 compensation paid weekly to Thomas Williams, for whom Mr. J. Sankey (instructed by Mr. T. Hughes. Ebbw Vale) acted.—Williams said he had tried to work but he failed to use the mandril. His Honour: Possibly he was stiff after two years' idleness.—Mr. Sankey suggested that the man should be allowed to make another attempt to return to work.—His Honour: Ob, no! It is time to put a stop to this, and the compensation must be discontinued. John Chappell claimed compensation from the Ebbw Vale Company in respect of an injury to his eye on December 16, 1903. Mr. Sankey (instructed by Mr. T. S. Edwards, Newport) was for the applicant, and Mr. A. Parsons (instructed by Mr. Vazie Simons, Pontypridd) for the respondents.—Appli- cant was cutting timber when a large chip struck him in the left eye.—His Honour awarded Y,17 compensation, and made a declaration of liability. Deborah Hughes claimed compensation from the Ebbw Vale Company in respect of the death of her husband. The same counsel appeared in this case.—Mr. Sonkey said that the amount agreed upon was E253 lB. 2d., if any. Deceased was carrying some tools on his shoulder on February 2, when a sharp and jagged iustrument fell and caused a wound on his arm. Blood poisoning ensued, from which he died.—The defence was that death was due to diabetes and not to the accident.—An award wae made for X253 Is. 2d.
VICIOUS CWMBACH WOMAN I
VICIOUS CWMBACH WOMAN I STRUCK A NEIGHBOUR WITH A BRICK. At Aberdare on Tuesday Anne Parfitt, a married woman living at Owmbach, summoned a neighbour, Sarah Harmond, for assault. The latter did not appear, it being stated on her behalf that she had sprained her a.nkle. Mrs. Parfitt, whose left eye was badly discoloured, stated that she and her husband were in the house, when they heard their own daughter shout out: Oh, dear mother, I've been killed." They left the house, and saw the defendant, who subse- quently struck complainant with great violence in the eye with a brick (which was produced). David Jones, the complainant's eon by a former husband, corroborated, and said that his mother bled profusely, and that he went to see Murphy. The Stipendiary; Who is Murphy? Inspector David: It is Dr. Murphy, sir. The Stipendiary: Oh, I thought the witness meant one of his fellow-workmen. Gwenllian Thomas, married, and daughter of Mrs. Parfitt, now summoned Mrs. Harmond for as sault. Her husband deposed that he and his wife were going home together when the defendant and her husband began to assault them. The Stipendiary: You haven't taken out a summons against her? Witness: Yes, this morning, air. The Stipendiary: Well, you had better let her alone. She will have to pay 15 or one month for assaulting Mrs. Parfitt, and lCfJ. or fourteen days for assaulting Gwenllian Thomas.
BAD LLANBRADACH BOY. I
BAD LLANBRADACH BOY. AN EMPLOYER WHO CONSTANTLY MISSED MONEY. A messenger boy named Robert John Phillips. in the employ of Mr. Abraham Gordon a Llanbradach pawnbroker, was at Caerphilly on Tuesday charged with stealing 36s. in cash from hie employer, whilst another lad, named Samuel Davies, was charged with receiving 17s. 6d. of the amount stolen. Mr a. Gordon, wife of the prosecutor, stated that the boy Phillips wob only in her employ for a month, but they con- stantly missed money, and she often saw the boy Davies loitering about the shop. The money was kept in a counter drawer. Whilst witness and her hus- band were on the door one evening they I heard the keys in the drawer rattle, and then ,i, going in they missed a sovereign. Not <z*iing to accuse the lad outright, wit-I ness pjoceeded, she adopted the device of I asking him for a match, and noticed that the lad only went to one pocket in hunting for one. PoUoc-conatabIe Salter arrested both boys at 16, Lewi-terraœ, Llanbradach, when they admitted the charges, and the coastable recovered part of the money. The boy Phillips now handed in a list of the amounts he had stolen, and the ordered him six strokes with the birch, whilst Davies, who waa over sixteen, was fined 200. aud oc/dts.

Red v. White Funnel. I ALLEGED CHANNEL RACING. I There was a good deal of interest mani- fested at Cardiff Police-court to-day in the Bed and White Funnel Line cases, and there was a large attendance of witnesses inte- rested in the rivalry. After some pre- liminary discussion the case taken by the learn-ecl stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) was that against Henry Ohiddy (master of the British steamship E-avenswood), who was summoned at the instance of Robert Charl- 1 ton Whcldon Bell (Board of Trade surveyor), for that he on the 12th of July on the voyage from Cardiff to Weston did unlawfully not obey Article 24 of the Regulations for Pre- vention of Collisions a t Sea, ancL issued in paT6u.a.nc" of the Merchant Sinflpmg Act. iPJROCEKD-l^G.)
8toty of a Skeleton I
8toty of a Skeleton -E- AND A MISSING BLANKET. There was n. certain halo of romance around a, case at Cardiff Police-court to-day in which two sifters stood at the dock who had a bit to say about a. skeleton. Not long ago they eaw in the papers the story of the discovery of a skeleton in a caxe in New Brunswick. Certain circumstances connected with the discovery raised great hopes of wealth in the heart of the sisters, and they employed Mr. Sydney Jeaikins, solicitor, to make iiuquiries into the matter. It was stated m the press telegram received from America that alongside of the skeleton were found charts giving the clue to the location of immense wealth, together with a gold ring bearing the inscription, John Long', December, 1779." The sisters are members of the Long family, of Swansea, and, as they have always known of a tradition of a miss- ing relative in dfmMstic annals, they put two and two tog9ther and nearly made five out of the addition. At any rate, they were fairly sanguine of eucce^s in tracing rela- ltionsJÚp with the skeleton and in obtaining possession of the riches referred to. Mr. Sydney Jenkins has interested himself in their hopes, but there have beeu no eart-is- I factory developments. Instead of being ahle to claim connection with the skelet,on in the Ciave in far-away Now Brunswick, they have now unwittingly raised a lees agreeable skeleton in their own cupboard at home. The sisters aro Ellen Davies (40) and Catherine Long (36), and their facial simi- larity was remarkable. They were charged that between the 3rd and 3Ctt,h November, n d iath November, 1905, they being the bailees of a blanket and a table cioth, value 10s., the property of Margaret Johns, Donald-etreet, fraudulently converted the same to their own use. The women took apartments with the prose- cutrix, and the articles were, it was said, pledged by some woman, whom the pawn- broker's assistant was unable to identify. Detective Henry Rosser said that at twelve (noon) on Tuesday he arrested prisoners on another charge at Marlborough-road laundry, and conveyed them to Roath Station. Davies, when charged, said she had done it all. long declared that she was not in it. The magistrates (Dr. James Mullin and Mr. Ebetnezer Beavan) dischared Long. Baby Crying for Bread. I Davi-ee, who sobbed a good deal. and was evidently greatly upset, said, in defence: I should like to say why I did it. For the pad twelve months I have hardly known how to live. I would not have ta.ken the blanket only my baiby was crying for bread, and I kept tlis blanket till the last. I did not iiftend leaNing Mrs. John's house.. and if she ha,d waited until Friday I would have got the blanket back and paid her the rent, because I had been promised the loan of some money. My sister told me not to do it, but Idid it when she was out looking for some wcrk. If she hadwaited a few days she would have had it back. I did the whole tbdi3g in order to got food. Prisoner Davies was committed to take her trial at the quarter sessions, bail being- re- fused, Mr. Beavan remarking that there were circumstances in the case which influenced them not to grant the application.

HOUSING AT ABERSYCHANI I I AIR. WINSTONE'S CONFESSION AT A COUNCIL MEETING. At the meeting of the Abersychan Urban District Council a discussion arose out of a report made by the inspector at the last meeting in which he gave a number of instances of overcrowding in the North Ward. Mr. B. Nicholas: Private enterprise has now met the demand in the South Ward. Mr. J. Winstone: What? Come with me to Machine Meadow. Mr. W. P. James: There are plenty of empty houses there. Mr. Winstone: I agree, but- Mr. Parry: It is their own fault. It is not because there are no houses there, and I believe the builders are prepared to erect a reasonable number of nouses there. Is it not a fact that we have restricted and ham- pered them in the past? Mr. Winstone- Give us a case. Mr. Parry: They have been hampered in respect of roads. Mr. Winstone: Yes, at Machine Meadow. The way in which we allowed them to put up houses there is a disgrace to civilisation. We ought to be put in gaol for allowing them to be built. It is simply disgraceful. Mr. Williams: It is clear that private enter- prise has not met the demand in the North Ward. We wa.nt at least another 20-0 houses. Mr. Parry: I believe private enterprise will keep up with it. Mr. Williams: Not in your time or mine. Ultimately the matter was referred to the committee for further consideration.

REVIVAL SENSATION
REVIVAL SENSATION Evan Roberts's Tent Cut Down. DASTARDLY OUTRAGE AT LLANDRINDOD. I The huge tent, capable of seating 2,000 people, where the Welsh Revivalist, Mr. Evan Roberts, is conducting meetings this week at Llandrindod Wells, was the scene of a dastardly outrage during last night or early this morning. Some evil- disposed persons cut the main ropes with knives, and the whole structure of canvas and projected poles collapsed. There is great indignation at the dastardly act, and the police have the matter in hand. I Caretaker Interviewed. Another message states that eight of the pulley ropes, which are each one inch thick were cut. About a dozen or so of the elec- tric light globes were smashed Edward Parry, the caretaker, who was. keeping watch in the tent was interviewed by our correspondent this morning, and' cuiphatic-ally denied the allegation that he wa-s asleep at the time of the outrage (he said). He was on the platform, and about half-past one his attention was firstly attracted by an unuenal creaking of the top blocks. The next thing he found was that the whole of the canvas in the centre was quickly coming down. Happily his being on the platform saved him from injury. Before he had time to get away the centre of the tent came down,- but he managed

Cat-taneo, the Italian swimmer, left the beach at Sangate, near Calais, at a quarter to eight on Tuesday morning on his attempt to swim across the Channel, but g-ave up between ctne and two in the afternoon aiter being in the water six hours. It was Cat- taneo's first attempt. Burgess will make another a-ttempt this (Wednesday) morning if the weather is favourable.

CRUEL LLANHILLETH MAN INCIDENT OF A CYCLE RIDE WITH HIS WIFE. After a courtship lasting six years, and one year of married life, John Henry Eaw lands, ironmonger, Llanh, was summoned on Tuesday by his wife, Margaret Ellen Row- lands, for persistent cruelty. Mr. Digby powell appeared for Mrs. Rowlands, and .MT. W. J. Ewerelt defended. Mrs. Rowlands said they were married on April 17, 1905, ajid three days afterwards defendant illtreated her. A week after the marriage he told her that he could see she would be no good to him, and on another occasion, because she did not hold something for him, be pushed a paraffin rag into her mouth. On Whit-Tussday, this year, they set out for a bicycle ride to Pontnewydd, and when they got lo Hafodyryays she had to get off her machine in consequence of palpi- tation of the heart. He said "Why don't you come on," and she replied thit she felt unwell, and said I believe I shall df", dead Jack."

Starters and SelectionsI
Starters and Selections I KEMPTON PARK I KEMPTON PARK, Wednesday Morning. I If at times threatening, the weather remained fine on the concluding afternoon of the Nottingham Meeting, and another goodly company put in an appearance. The eport, however, turned out somewhat tame. Of the nine runners for the Welbeck Handi- cap, the principal event of the afternoon, Amelia ha4 the largest following but never looked like a winner, and Lord Toddiagton, who finished fourth to Milford Lad in the Marine Handicap a.t Brighton last week, won easily by three lengths from the top weight, La Petite Dame. Higgs opened the day well by landing a double event on Sparkling Wine and Varra Wee]. To-day Kempton Park and Redca-r are in opposition. At the Southern meeting Slieve Gallion and All Black do not run for the International Two Year Old Plate, and it looks as though GALVANI will gain an easy victory from Jubilee and Height of Bliss. The Greenwood Handicap has not received the patronage which it deserved. Kuroki, on his Somersetshire Han- dicap form, must have some sort of a chance, but he is not a horse I care. about. The top weight, Brother Bill, is another that will run well, despite his weight, for he rather likes the hard going Kaffir Chief, if ridden by a competent jockey, will have something to say at the finish, but, as George Chalouer usually puts young Heed upon him, it will be safer to leave the issue to the bottom weight, OORCEBUS, who has been going well lately. The danger may be Truffle de Perigord. Detailed selec- tions follow:— Vaurhall Selling-POPPITS. Feltham SelJing-RICHESSE FILLY. Greenwood Handicap-CORCF.BUS. Han wortPark Maiden-LADY VILLIKINS COLT.
