To-day's Short Story.! MILLIE'S PROPOSAL. I ——— "To-morrow we shall go to Grove Farm,1 Mohie," cried Miilie, with a feverish fer. vericy, bursting open the door of the kitchen, where Mrs. Mellows WAS busy preparing dinner, and flung herself upon her mother's ceek, smothering her with burning ki~ses. When th,e old lady was able to recover her breath she cried: So he is all right at last, my child. How happy I feel. What does he write?" j fead yourself," responded the daughter, handing an open letter to her mother. Tii-eil she began dancing and jumping about in the little room like a child, singing and uttering exclamations of extreme delight. The mother read as foiiows,- Dear Mies Mallows,—The boss is awl o pa. He wanke as Siteddy as our oxsen with the plow, but he is as muddled garding yoorself as iver. Five beginnings of letters i haki agin tajcksjii from the waist basket, which I seut you heerwith. I dun no wat too do with him. He is more stainje and a hankie j every dai. If you don't com soon tileer is no help. Sondai is the best dai thaar aar eotohes at the deepo too miles drives from your servant Jack. The boss mentioned in this letter was a rich farmer aoont 27 years old. He had been suddenly seized with a, lameness in both legs, and no doctor had been able to advise a cure. One day when his footman was wheeling him in his o i iir along the promenade two latiies attracted his attention by the appa- refit interest with which they looked at him. When he had brought his chair to a step in the shadow of a tree the elder came to accost him, asking for informatien upon a political circumstance which at the time engaged the attention of the country. He answered her questions and the absent- mindedness with which his answers were re- ceived showed him that the real cause of the conversation the lady had commenced, was something very di.f-erent from pontics. He hinted at tll;, impression of his, and the Lu)y thei confec.sci that she had come to him because she found a. striking res-emblanc^ bef .een him and her son, who had been, absent fro-oi her for years. My daughter," she added, was first struck by the resem- blance, and called my attention to it. Her natural ways, her kindly voice, and refund way of speaking made a favourable impression, and I'Tank. Strong, such the name of the lame niaja, was pleased with nis new acquaintance. After a, wbile they were joined by Millie, her daughter, whose natural kindliness aid elegant way of expressing her thoughts, as well as the insinuating beauty of her musical voice, showed that she wae equally as charming and interesting as her mother, She was tall, and her carnage straight; ) her hair was sandy, and her eye clear and meditative, betraying an uncommon depth of thought and symTvatby. From thait day forward the mother and! daughter were daily companions of Mr. Strong, who fotin-d great pleasure in their s >ci"jty. The conversation was generally carried on by the old lady. Millie not talk- ing much except when h, r mother was tthfi-nt, sut which time tne conversation between, the young people used to be very lively. Millie evidently sympathised deeply with Frank Sitrong in his afiiict-ion, and, making no secret of her feeling, would fre- quently recur to it. He soon tired of that Bort of conversation, however, and would tell her that he hated to be pitied. Lt is wretched enough, he would say to her, "to know you are crippled for life. But is not human sympathy the sweetest balm wit,h which to soothe the sufferings of th-æe stricken by the hand of an inscrutable destiny?" asked Miilie, in a soft voice. I do not know. It may be; but in my condition 1 cannot realise the thought. There is only one way to pre*«rve my equanimity, and that is, considering myself altogether cut of the race ot' the strong and healthy. I have fo-und occupation, and sa-ri3>- faction in my studies, and refuoe entertain- ing any interest in ve litfe," I cannot find it in me to ewtiTely believe you, she responded mildly. "Do what you will, think what you way, yet you are living with the living, active work! in spite of your I partial helplessness." You are mistaken. There is such a thing as self limitation. I^iere was a time when I vme strong in power aod rich in resources; the time is gone. I jan a poor, wretched wre^-k, of my former fcsing." He took her hand, looked at her silently for x moanini't, and them, ofcairgod the subject of oanver^Wsion. Soo-n after he had him^sif whoerfed to his lodging# and stopped at home the re.-t of the day. He tried to read, but book after book wao thrown ammy, amd fizubUx he leaned UttkJn cifca«VA WsdswJ victim to his exciting thoughts. It was the image of Miilie that occupied his mind. He felt clearly that he loved her. He had for weeks believed that she loved him also; the conversation of the morning had convinced him. without leaving a chance ct a doubt. Eut could he possibly entertain the passion? The next morning he informed Mrs. and Millie that he would leave Hot Springs at the end of the week. Both ladies lookoo more disconcerted at the news than he ex- pected, and the conversation, of the party was more lively. Mrs. Mellows soon went away to make a call, leaving Millie alone with Frank. I should like to try my strength at that chair of yours," said Miilie, smiiing. And before he could make" answer she sent John, the foctmiu, away, instructing him not to watch her in her awkward movements, but to keep at a distance, which he did in a remarkably docile manner. She- had wheeled the chair a few steps when she leaned over to Frank, who could not see her face, and whispered into his ear, You I will leave its so Faon? I am so sorry. There was so much yet I had to tell you. And is there nothing you would tell me? Not a (iiirtition you have to ask me? If you have woulti it not be better to do so by word of mouth ?" Miss Millie," he answered, with an irre- preesible trembling in his voice, let this theme not be discussed between us. Never would I fasten youth, beauty, and loveliness to a wretched wreck of hum-tT'ty that ought to go out of this world, the sooner the tetter. The heart must be eiient. My reason commands peremptorily that I ought not to discuss questions which never become facts." You will not get rid of me so easily," i-?he replied. Reason is a. splendid gndde to a moving force, but it is not force itself. The force of life is in the heart." "1 am a wreck," he replied. "Love and happiness are for the healthy; they are not for Ine. he said, tenderly, don't he angry with me. Will you continue to be my friend?" I will to the end of my life, she said, and turned away. The next morniDg Prank was informed that Mrs. Mellows and her daughter had taken their departure. Ke was hardly astonished, and ordered John to make ready for their own immediate return home. Frank Strong had been at home for about a month, wiien one day he felt a peculiar pain tickling and pricking all over his legs, wh'ch from the beginning of his disease had I never £-It any pai n or, in fact. had been ■ almost without feeling. Two months later j Frank Strong was as well as ever, and moved about as if he had never been afflicted in any way. It was a few weeks after his complete recovery when one S-ucday morning John came running into the room where Mr. Strong was and said, with a funny smile on his face, There are visitors coming, str. I have seen a. coach rtxmaing along the road towards the house." Stmr-,ge," ejaculated Fra-nk, Who should, be coming to see me to-day. Do you know the team, John? John pulled another face, and without saying a word turned towards the door. The coach was just passing along the side of the house, where Prank, half hidden behind the curtain, was looking out of the window. A splendid sandy-haired lady's head was looking out of the coach and trying to espy something in a window. For Heaven's sake," cried Frank. Do I see right or am I dreaming? It is Miss Millie Mellows that is coming. John, come here. Bring my rolling chair out in the hall righot away, and if you are one second late you shall be fired this day." TIe seated himself a the chair and ordered John to wheel him along to meet the ladies as they were entering the house. The ladies seemed greatly surprised a.t seeing him. They stood still, utterly at a i-e-.Ts wbØlt to say. And Franl, was no better off. Perceiving the surprise of the ladies, he was confused himself, and did not know how t,), find words to welcome them. Then John, seeing the situation, said: Come along, I-wlies, he is only shamming; he cAn walk as straight as our plough-oxtm, as I told you in my last letter." "Letter! What letter?" cried Frank, rising from his chair, seeing which Millie ad- vanced and said, "Do not blame the man, Mr. Strong; he leapt Us informed an the time concerning your condition, and it is due to his kindness tha.t we are here now." Ard Frank Strong was so overwhelmed with his ecstrv-y of delight that while press- ing Millie to his heart he felt as if he ought to embrace his faithful Jack as well.

A CANTON TRAGEDY m, I Come Quick to Mother' I A DAUGHTER'S SUSPICIONS I At Cardiff cn Tuesday Mr. E. Llewellyn Keece (deputy coroner) inquired into the cir- j cnmstances attending the death of Mrs. Julia. Sampey, 70; Aldswoith-road, wife of Charles M;try i-ampey, deceased's daughter, said her mother was 56 years of age. Witness saw her at 12.45 o'clock on Monday in a front room downstairs, when she said, "Good-bye, Marv-, I see you any more." Deputy-coroner: Was she going anywhere? -Yes; she was going to the Cardiff Work- house hospital. She had bad legs?—les, sir. Witness, continuing, said: Just before that i, my mother asked me to go and empty a, vessel. I did 00, and I saw a label on it marked "salts of lemon." I thought she II was going to poison herself, and I weait to fetch Mrs. Price, a neighbour. Mrs. Price, 66, AId?worth-road, said the last' vitn?ss came to her house and said, Come Quick to m- motner, Mrs. Prue, I believe she is ning to take poison." Witness I went into the house and found Mrs. Sampey in the front room washing. She atked witness to go out whilst she was wash- ing herself, but witness remained and helped her. About one o'clock she began to vomit, and witness, when taking a blanket off a chair, saw the cup produced underneath, which the little daughter had told her oon- ta,ined the salts of lemon. The daughter, examined, said that she had bought two pennyworth of salts of lemon from a chemist on Bank Holiday. Her mother was a laundress, and used it in order to take out the rust from the linen. Mrs. Price said she asked the deceased if she had taken anything, and she replied, N,-), I have not taken anything." Witness and another neighbour tried to make her swallow salt and wate- i as an emetic, but she refused, and kept her teeth tightly closed. A was then telephoned for. Her husband," said witness, has been away for a.bout seven weeks, and they do not know where he is. I had known her for seven or eight years." Dr. Gallagher said he arrived at deceased's houee about 1.45 p.m., and found her reclin- ing on a Lox in a comatose state. She did not regain consciousness, and died about ten minutes later. Death was due to poisoning by taking salts of lemon. From half an ounce to an ounce would be a fatal dose, and an ounce could be had for 3d. De- ceased was suffering from badly-ulcerated legs. A verdict of "Suicide whilst temporarily I insane" was returned.

I WORCESTER PETITION. Upon the resumption on Tuesday of the Worcester election corruption inquiry the Mayor -gave evidence as to the politioal condition of the c; ty. and spoke to two 'previous petitions in connection with iocal Parliamentary con- tests. The acting returning officer's testi- mony showed that aft-er one of those formecr petitions a man was sentenced to nine months for perjury. At the last election thfe whole of the signatures on one of the Con- servative candidate's nomination papers were those of licensed victuallers. The Deputy Returning Officer sa,id he was not aware at the time of the last election that bribery was going on. but he heard Iruinours. The election was marked by great qui-tne-s and good order. The Chief-constable of Worcester said he saw only one drunken person in the streets on polling-day. He also gave information with regard to betting in the city, which, he thought, was considerable, as in other towns. Mr. Thomas George Dobbs, Conservative agent at the last election, was closely i examined as to accounts, and also as to Conservative League meetings held on i lice.!?ed premises. He said that the standard of the league had in late years been mil oh raised for educational purposes, whereas the meetings used formerly to be convivial, Witness was also examined as to public- house drinking. The commission then adjourned till to-day (Wednesday).

For Women Folk I I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES I To keep ferns ind plants during the holi- days piaoe a bath, with about 4in. of water in it, llea.r a fireplace with ventilator open. Put in plants. If in fancy pots which the water cannot draw up, place a strip of white rag over the pot, letting each end be in the water. This will keep the largest aepedestras to the smallest maidenhair fern quite fra-h. Unless they are carefully watched, children who are eld enough to wash their own bands and taces rarely dry themselves properly, and as a resuP suffer terribly from chilblains and cha.In,. Soft towel-, which should De dried direc.ly th -y are damp, should be pro- vided !cr the children's use, and each child should keep to its own. Furs from Moths. To prc-sorva furs from moths- there is nothing better tha.n to frequently take them out a.nd shake them in the open air, but as oae is apt to forget to do thii, regularly, ard is fatal, it is well to u&e parafiin as a preservative. Take a drop or two of the oil i,nto the hands, rub it on them, and then pass them ever the fur. The paraffin will not injure the fur in the least, and its unpleai?ant odour will soon pass off in the a-ir when winter wraps are again, needed; but in the meantime it will quite prevent moths from carrying on thŒr work cf destruction. Another way to ns? paraffin is to sprinkle it on cloths, and to place theee in the dra.w?r or box i:n which fur is Ftored.

I Passing Pleasantries. I There was onoe a bishop travelling in South Africa,. He looked out over the rolling veldt, and "Is not this magnificent?" he said. "It may be magnificent, my lord," aaid one of his servants, but give me the Edg ware- road of a Sunday." Host (a trifle nervous about the effect cf hi-s guest's wooden leg upon the polished floor): Hadn't you better come on the rag, major? Yon might slip there. you know." Major: 0, don't be afraid; there's no danger. I have a nail in the end of it. Why did you place strch a tough fowl before me?" asked the indignant lady patron of the waiter in a restaurant. "A" before beauty always, you know, madam," was the gallant reply. And then, woman-like, she smiled and paid her bill without a murmur. A young lady who had no knowledge of nautical phrases said to a friend: Do you know, I cften wonder why a ship has to weigh its anchor every time it leeves port?" The answer cf her friend was not illuminat- ing. "Well—er—the weight is constantly changing, you know, because of hte—er—bin- nacles and things that accumulate on the anchor."

LODGER ROBBED OF £ 10. BARGOED MASON CHARGED WITH THEFT. A Bargoed mason, Aimed Charles Henry Probert. was brought up on remand at Caerphilly on Tuesday, and charged with stealing £1:). the money of William J. Blank, al::o of Bargoed. Prosecutor, who is a collier, said he lodged with d-efendant at 33, Heolddu-road, Bargoed. On July 7 witness left the £10. which was in gold, in a bag which was put in a box in his bedroom, but missed it later on. Prosecutor here said that the money had been returned to him, and he did not wish to press the charge. Pri-,oner admitted the theft to Police-con- stable W. H. Williams, but now said that he took the money because there was a bit »f bother between them. He was sentenced to three weeks, with hard la,bour. Later, the wife of Probert applied for a summons against him for desertion. She said he was living with a woman in Wed- more-street, Grangetown, Cardiff. The application was granted.

Revivalist Riot. I EXTRAORDINARY SCENES. Fisticuffs at Gorseinon. Scenes of disorder, accompanied by per- sonal violence, have again taken place at Gor&einon. The Rev. Morgan Jones, the principal actor in the revivalist street move- ment, while parading Liine-street, with nis followers was set upon by several male rcsi- dents. From the statements of witnesses it appears that a member of the revivalist party made unacceptable remarks anent the religious condition of the residents, some of whom advanced into the centre of the pro- cessionists. A scene of great disorder ensued, a few of the participants being knocked about more or less forcefully. A number of other persons interposed and amid the use of most unseemly language separated the parties. The revivalists con- tinued their progress withoct further moles- tation. It is not unlikely that the local magistrate will be approached with the view to preventing personal violence. A section of the inhabitants favour a petition to the Welsh Baptist Union, who may bring pres- sure to bear upon zealous revivalists at Gorseinon.

I ANTI-GREEK MOVEMENT. GRAVE SITUATION IN THE BALKAN PENINSULA. There is much perturbation in Greek circles in Constantinople at the alarming develop- ments of the .anti-Greek movement in Bul- garia. It is feared that the sudden outbreak is not merely an outcome of the racial hatred between the two nationalities, but is a result of a private understanding between Bulgaria and Roumania. Such an agreement would be a severe blow to Greek political interests in Macedonia, and should Bulgaria follow the Roumanian example of applying a prohibitive tariff to Greek imports, and in general put every obstacle in the way of Greek trade and traders, Greece would suffer very considerable material loss. How far Bulgaria. is determined to go is at present uncertain, but there would appear to be some ground for Greek apprehensions. The Greek Patriarchate is, of course, extremely indignant at the seizure of Greek churches in Varna and Philippopolis, and has addressed energetic representations to the Sublime Porte, protesting against the persecution of Greeks in a vassal princi- pality, and urging the Porte to intervene. The Greek Legation has supported the steps taken by M gr. Joachim, but in diplo- matic circles it is not believed that the' Porte will go beyond representations of a friendly uncompromising nature. As a ma.tter of fact, instructions have been sent to the Commissary at Sofia to call the atten- tion of the Bulgarian Government to the disturbances at Philippopolis and other places, and to point out the desirability of more extensive measures in order to prevent a repetition of the disorders. The Patriarchate seized the present oppor- tunity to complain of the head-dress of the Bulgarian clergy, which is identical with that worn by priests of the Greek Church. This is an old grievance of the Patriarchate, which has on several occasions tried to obtain a, compulsory modification of the form of hat worn by the schismatic priests. lilile Bulgarians refuse to make any change whatsoever in their style of head-gear, but suggest that the priests of the Patriarchate should wear a distinctive badge if they wish to avoid being mistaken for Bulgarians.- Press Association Foreign Special.

I WHEN YOU THINK GAS IS I LEAKING Here is the safest and surest way of hunt- ing for leaks in gaspipes. With a -having brush or other small brush and tin ordinary soap lather go over a suspected pipe. If there is a leak, no matter how tiny, it-will blow bubbles in the lather. A leak too small to produce a flanie will thus disclose its where- abouts. The common method of hunting with a lighted match for gas leaks is a dangerous practice, as the following incident shows: A householder, detecting the odour of gas in the cellar, examined all the pipes, going over them carefully with lighted matches. No- where could he detect a leak, and at last he gave up the search. A few hours later his house w as seriously damaged by fire. Investigation showed that a lead gaspipe had been melted off. During the morning search for gas the match had passed over the leak, starting a flame so small that by daylight it was invisible. Gradually it had melted the lead, with the final disastrous results. Here are seven good rules for avoiding I fires: Don't empty hot ashes into a wooden barrel. It is better not to use a wooden barrel, anyhow. Don't shake the range and immediately take up the ashes. Clear the ash pit first and then shake down. It is the freshly shaken down ashes and coals that make the trouble. Don't keep a hot fire continuously in an ¡ open fireplace for too long a time. The thickest wall of brick will heat through I eventually. Don't leave hot fat on the stove.

Pope's Encyclical. I BISHOPS ORDERED TO DEFY FRENCH I GOVERNMENT. The Pope's encyclical letter to the French bishops was issued on Tuesday. His holiness condemns the law of associations and the law of separations, and orders the clergy to obey them.—Central News. The "Osservatore PvOmano" publishes the reply of the French bishops to the Papal eucyclioal agamst separation. This reply gives thanks to God that the bishops have been able to hold a plenary assembly, while for a century plast an unjust contract refused them this right. It declares that the French bishops are unanimous on the questions of patriotism and faith, and that the will of the Holy Father will always be the last word of their resolutions. The bishops thank the Pope for having authorised them to deliberate on questions which his Holiness is able to settle alone. They affirm that they sacrifico at once at his word any personal ideas which they might have expressed. The reply a-lorifles the encyclical as a monument of Divine and human wisdom. It compares the situation of the faithful in France with that of the Hebrews returning to Jeru?lem after their long captivity, and affirms the wish of the bishops to re-establish Jerusalem and its Temple, on the invitation of the Pontiff, at whatever sacrifice. It approves all the condemnations pro- nounced by the encyclical, and inveighs against the criminal audacity of a Power which, wishing to tear up a contract con- cluded with the Church, does so without putting itself into communication with the head of the Church, and also against the sacrilegious usurpation of ecclesiastical pro- perties. In conclusion, the reply affirms the fidelity of the Catholics of France to their faith and their resolution to obey the Holy Father. So soon, it says, as the French democracy sees things in their true light it will rise as one body in the faith of Christ and love of the Pope. "That is why," it says, "we demand the right to preserve for France all the privileges of her protectorate over Catholic interests in' the OTient.Reuter. HEALTH OF THE POPE. A Rome telegram of Tuesday says :—Among ( to-day's visitors the Pope received Mgr. P. G. Blanche, vicar-apostolic of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, who found his Holiness perfectly well and strong. The Pope spoke for some time about Canada, and also about the encyclical to the French bishops regarding the conflict between France and the Vatican. His Holiness expressed the hope that the encyclical would' have a salutary effect.- Renter.

ISEWING MACHINE DISPUTE I CURIOUS ACTION BEFORE JUDGE BISHOP. His Honour Judge Bishop at Haverfordwest County-court on Tuesday heard a case in which Fanny Wheeler, of Neyland, in service as a domestic at Pembroke Dock, brought an action against the Singer Manufacturing Company for the wrongful taking away of a sewing machine, and claimed £ 9 7s. 6d., the vaJue of the machine, or its return, and X4 for wrongful detention. Mr. F. W. Merri- man, Pembroke Dock, was for the plaintiff, and Mr. W. J. Jones, Haverfordwest, for the defending company. The whole case ttlrned upon the point whether the machine was supplied under a hire-purchase agreement The defendants put in such an agreement which purported to be signed by the plaintiff, but she strenuously denied ever having signed euch an agreement. At his honour's request the plaintiff signed her name with a quill and with a steel pen on a piece of paper, and his honour compared these with the signature on the agreement. His Honour held that the plaintiff had no clear recollection of what took place three years ago, and gave judgment for the defen- dants. With regard to an action for trespass, his Honour said if it were persevered with and proved he should only give a verdict for one farthing, witnout costs. It was, there- fore, withdrawn.

THE SMALLS LIU HTHOUSE. VESSELS PASSING IN DAYTIME TO BE REPORTED. A letter was posted on the Oardiff Ezchang8 on Tuesday from Colonel H. J SI. liorior. secretary of Lloyd's, stating that the committee had arranged with the Elder Brethren of Trinity House for reports of vessels to be taken at the Smalls Lighthouse. This arrangement has been sanctioned as experimental for one year, reports will only be made in daytime, and only vessels that show signals and sound whistles to attract the attention of the light- house-keepers will be reported. Reports will be telephoned to the mainland, and tele- graphed from the receiving station to Lloyd's and other addresses as desired.

SUFFRAGETTES AT LIBERTY A VIRULENT ATTACK ON MR. ASQUITH. The women suffragists who were liberated from Holloway Prison on Tuesday were the chief speakers at a women's suffrage demon- stration held in Hyde Park on Tuesday even- ing. Mrs. Pankhurst, who introduced the speakers, declared that Mr. Asquith, who was the chief enemy in the Cabinet of women's franchise, was a hopeless ease. lIe was too old and too ignorant to learn, and, therefore, they had to force him to give up his position. They had made him ridiculous and uncom- fortable. Miss Kenney said that Mr. Asquith had put stumbling-blocks in their way, but before long they would trip him up. Airs. Knight asserted that they were quite willing to go to prison for six years if only they could knock a little sense into the heads of the men.

STEAMERS IN COLLISION OFF I THE NASH. The Norwegian steamer Doris (Captaiib Gergsen), after discharging her cargo of deals at Barry Dock, went into dry dock on Tues- day, having been badly damaged below the water-line in a collision with the Belgian steamer Cap Spartel off the Nash on Satur- day night. l The forepeak of the Doris was smashed, and the ship was making water bad!y when she arrived at Barry- The other steamer was also severely damaged, and she had to put back to Cardiff for repaira. )

INJURED HIS SPINEl FALL FROM A MOTOR WAGON. Peculiar Fatality at Cardiff The Cardiff deputy-coroner (Mr. E. Llewellyn Beece) held an inquest on Tuesday on the body of Henry Press, 35, of 85, Clive-street, a workman in the employ of Messrs. Hancock, who fell off the latter's steam wagon and injured his spine on Satur- day week. Mr. Gaskell, solicitor, aappea-red for Messrs. Hancock. George Dibble, 9, Chester-place, labourer, said that on August 4, between five and six o'clock, lfc> saw the motor-dray in Clare-road, being driven at a rate ol about ten miles an hour. A tarpaulin sheet covered the cases in the dray, and this sheet blew off, pulling the deceived down with it to the ground. The motor was stopped immediately, and the injured man was taken, to Dr. Cantillon's' surgery. He could not say whether the deceased was trying to pull the sheet back or not, for he partly covered by it when witness first noticed him. George Whitworth, 13, East-street, helper on Messrs. Hancock's steam wagon, said that Press sat on the back part of the wagon. Witness, who was on the engine, did not see or heair the tarpaulin fall off, and the engine was ttopped because of pedes- trians shouting that a man was on the ground. The pace was about five miles an hour, and it. had taken them two hours and a half to go to Barry, which was only ten miles distant. Frank Porter, driver of the engine, said that the rope which fastened the tarpaulin tore the brass eyelit clean off the sheet. He could not go faster than six miles a.1;I hour with a heavy load. Mrs. Mary Ann Belch, 85, Clive-street, with whom deceased lodged, gave evidence of identification. Death took place on Saturday last. Dr. Cantilion said he saw the injured man on the spot, and had him taken to his sur- gery. He was suffering from laceration of the spinal cord, and his legs were completely paralysed. He also had two small cuts on the head. His condition was practically hopeless from the first, and he died from exhaustion. Deceased told witness that the wind was gusty off a side street and got under the sheet. He stood on the tarpaulin to keep it down, but he was not strong enough, and the sheet pulled him down. A verdict of "Accidental death" was re- turned.

Dastardly Outrage. CI LABORATORY STAFFS PERIL I I Attempt at Poisoning by Burglars I To such straits is British Guiana reduced owing to the suspension of the regular mail service that the schooner Lottie Toppin, 34 tons, plying between Georgetown and Derne- rara, was chartered to convey the last mail to catch the Boyal Mail Company's steamer La. Pla-ta a.t Barbadoes. The gallant little craft did the journey in two days and a half, and triumphantly fulfilled her mission. The colcniy has beeu deeply stirred by a dastardly attempt to poison Professor J. B. Harrison, Director of Science and Agricul- ture and Government Analyst, and with him the whole of the laboraltory staff. In Juno the professor was incapacitated by a mys- terious illness, which recurred in spite of skilled treatment. About the same time the laboratory was more than once entered by some unknown person at night. Some samples were stoler and otheris tampered with. The burglars were apparently pos- sessed of duplicate keys The crisis came on Thursday, July 5, when Professor Iforri- son, after drinking several glasses of ice- water from the can in his private office, was seized with headache, giddiness, and nausea. He was compelled to go home, where he wae oonfined to bed. Meanwhile the assistants at the laiboraltory Meesre. P. V. Garraway, Christiana, and Matthews, the messenger) developed eimilar alarming symptoms after drinking ioe-water from the reservoir. On the Monday it occurred to Garraway that their illness might be due to poison, and on a cursory analysis of the waiter arsenic was found. An inspection of water receptacles showed enoug-h patent rat poison had been placed therein to poison hundreds of people. For- tunately, all the victims have nearly re- covered by now, but Professor Harrison has been eo ill that he has been ordered a com- plete change, and will probably leave the colony shortly for a prolonged holiday. So fa,r no clue to the perpetraitor of the outrage has been found .—Reuter.

CRUELTY TO A COW AT SWANSEA. David Thomas, of Marine-street, was sum- moned at Swansea, on Tuesday for illtreat- ing and torturing a cow, and Philip Owen, of Dyfatty-street, was summoned for allow- ing this to be done.—Policc-constablc Hayes said he saw Thomae driving the cow towards Swansea. It had a rope on its horn and front leg, and under the rope on the leg was a wound 2in. by Z?m. Every step the animal made hurt the leg, and a man jumped off a parsing car and cut the rope.— Owens said the rope was used to prevent the cow running wild, while Thomas said the cow got wild and ran into some children, and that was the reason the rope was used. —Defendants were fined 10s. each inclusive. ———————

I' BURNED TO DEATH. o Lonely Woman's Terrible Fate. Mrs. Gunning, wife of a. donkeyman, of 13, QaMoy-street, Grangetown, Cardiff, was found on Tuesday morning by her sister-in-law burned to death in her bedroom. In the kitchen downstairs was found a lamp which had exploded, and it is presumed that Mrs. Gunning's clotlieo caught fire, and she rushed upstairs to her bedroom, where she died. Dr. Pittard was called in, and pro- nounced life extinct. No one seams to have heard anything wrong in the house, but, Mrs. Gunning not making an appearance in the morning, the neighbours became alarmed, and, the door being locked, Mrs. Gunning's sister-in-law went through the next house and got in through the back way, where she made the discovery. The woman's husband works about the docks. DID THE LAMP EXPLODE? I There is, of course, unavoidable mystery in connection with the death of Mrs. Gunning, for, as already stated, she was alone in the house at the time. Her husband is a shoro donkeymaTi and frequently works at night. He wa4g at work on Sunday night, returning home on Monday morning. On Monday even- ing, at a quarter to nine, he returned to work, and his wife was last seen by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Pimm, oi No. 6, Oakley- street, at a-bout a. quarter to eleven. When the unfortunate woman's body was discovered the exploded oil lamp and badly- charred table in the kitchen downstairs told a sad story, the supposition being that in carrying the lamp to bed the unfortunate woman by some means had her clothing ignited, and, losing her presence of mind, rushed upstairs, where, failing on the flour, she died without being able to attract the attention of the neighbours. Mrs. Pimm about nine o'clock on Tuesday received a message from Mrs. Spencer, who lives next door to Mrs: Gunning, that during the night she had heard a great deal of noise, and had not seen anything of Mrs. Gunning that morning. I at once went to my sister-in-law's front door, aaid found it fastened," said Mrs. Pimm in an interview. "I then asked Mrs. Spen- cer's permission to go over her back wall, and on going to my sister-in-law's back door found that was bolted also. I forced the door opsn, and immediately detected a smell of burning. Going upstairs, I found my sister-in-law lying on the floor -in the bacK bedroom. She was apparently dead, and was terribly burned about the chest. I rushed out of the house for assistance. Oh! it was horrible." The husband of the deceased woman was greatly affected, and confirmed a neighbour's statement that he had gone to work the previous night about two hours before the unfortunate woman was last seen alive by his sister. "I was to have gone to Newport on a steamer to-day," he said, "and this is what I am brought home to find." And the poor man wept like a child. Dr. Pittard, police surgeon, states that the burns were of a terrible nature, and mainly confined to the chest. AFFAIR AN ACCIDENT. The police appear to be satisfied that the death is the result of an unfortunate acci- dent, but the poor woman's loneliness in the house precludes the possibility of obtaining first-hand evidence as to how it occurred. It is a curious fact that the exploded lamp was not upset, but was found standing on its pedestal on the kitchen table. Another strange circumstance is the probable action of the deceased after her clothes were i,= Of course, her movements can only be sur- mised from deductions made after an in- spection of the premises. One would have thought that in her agony and awful pre- dicament. she would have rushed out for the assistance of neighbours, but all the appear- ances seem to show that she ran upstairs into the unfurnished room where she was found, and there att-emlyted to divest herself of some of her burning clothes. It was her frantic effort to do this that must have caused the noise heard during the night by a neighbour, and there ifi every reason for believing that dur- ing hvir struggle to free herself the shock and burns proved too great for endurance, and she succumbed just As she had succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The inquest will be held to-day.

CRANE JIB FELL ON HIM. Mr. M. Roherte-JoneB held an inquest on Tuesday at St. Bride's, near Newport, respect- ing the death of Thomas Edwards, of Risca, 60 years of age, an inspector employed on the new Western Valleys sewer, who received terrible injuries on Sunday through the jib of a crane falling upon him Mr. Lyndon Cooper represented the rela- tives and Mr. T. S. Edwards the sewerage board. William Henry Cowdry, crane-driver, stated he was in charge of a movable crane on the works. He had the signal from Fore- man Frederick Stephens to raise one of the pipes a little in order to get it in its proper position. Deceased was at the time in a stooping posture looking into the trench underneath the jib of his crane. As soon as witness tightened. up the st*el rope it snapped and the jib fell, killing deceased instantaneously. A new and thicker rope had been put on, and was being worked for the firpt time that day. It had only lifted four pipes in succession throughout the day, each ph>c weighing 2 ton 6cwt.-Verdiot "Accidental death/*
