EXCITING BOY HUNT. Remarkable Chase at Newport An exciting boy hunt took place at New- port on Saturday night. In consequence of repeated thefts of small parcels—particularly parcels of newspapers— at the railway station a. keen watch was kept on Saturday evening. Presently a lad was eeen to seize four parcels of papers, whi<'h had been taken from & barrow, and to pitch them over the wall into a lane ¡,J"t the end of Thomas-street, near the new post-office. On the other side of the wall four boys were waiting for the arrival of the parcels. The thrower attempted to scale the wall to join the receivers, but fell into the hands of Mr. Henry Rees, a parcels clerk;" He struggled and got away. Through ThomaS- street, and into High-street, down through Dook-street, the lad bounded, and the railway staff after him. He doubled, as only a boy can double, up to the top of High-ttreet, in through one door of the Old Green Hotel and out through another, but was then held by a gentleman who responded to the "titop thief behest. To-day five boye wei-e before the Newport mp.-glstratefl in connection with the affair- Robert Logan (fourteen), Thomas Edwards (fifteen), Oharlæ Foweather (nft?en). Ben- jamin Iorgan (fourteen), and George Jogan (thirteen). Morgan was the lad who threw the parcels and gave the chaee. He and Poweatlier, who had been before the court before, were fined 5s. each. The others, who had not been in trouble before, were allowed to go. I

The mare was unut for work.

YOUNG GIRL'S LOVER Ernest Edgar Lane, footman at 77, Eaton- equare, answered to a summons at South Western Police-court on Saturday charging him with assaulting Alfred Kettenuo, an insurance agent. It was stated that the complainant, a man of over 30, had engaged himself to the defendant's sister of fifteen, which had aroused the indignation of mem- bers of the family; hence the unpleasant- ness. The complainant stated that defendant exclaimed excitedly, "I've come here pur- posely to murder you," at the same time etriking him a heavy blow in the eye, felling him to the ground. Mr. Hindle said the story about the threat ,to murder wa-s an invention. Mr. De Grey observed that the defendant was wrong in taking the law into his own hands, and he would have to pay a fine of '20B.

SMALL-POX AT CARDIFF 1 Two further cases of ema-ll-pox have been reported at Cardiff, and on Saturday Dr. Walford, medical officer of health, had removed to the small-pox hospital from Thomas-street, Grangetown, a man suffering from the disease. Then yesterday a woman living in Eldon- road was found to be also a. victim of small- pox, and she was removed to the same hospital. The origin of the infection is unknown.

SHOT IN A TRAIN DRAMATIC AFFAIR IN SEVERN TUNNEL. Ex-Cardififan Found in a Pool of Blood "WHO WILL BURY ME WHEN I AM DEAD P" What appears to be a determined attempt at suicide took place in a railway train which arrived at Newport this morning from Bristol. A pool of blood was seen in one of the compartments, and a young man, whose name has transpired to be Frederick Slip, of St. Vincent-road, Newport, was found shot through the mouth. He was removed to the Newport Hospital about eight o'clock, and remains there under treatment. He has been, from the time he was first seen, in a dazed condition, and has given absolutely no account of how the injury took place; in fact, his mouth seems to be sealed, and he is very reticent. So far the injury is not regarded as plac- ing him in immediate da-nger. He has lost, however, a considerable quantity of blood, and he is now in a low and weak state. His parents are unable to account for the affa.ir, and state that they know of no trouble which he was in. THE GUARD'S STORY I The guard of the train, Alfred Bourford, states that he was in charge of the 5.55 a.m. train from Bristol to Cardiff. When his train was about three-quarters of the way through the Severn Tunnel this morning he heard the report of a firearm. On arrival at Severn Tunnel Junction he went to a third-class compartment, and there found a young man lying on one of the seats, bleeding from a wound in the mouth. He held a third-clac-s ticket from Bris- tol to Severn Tunnel Junction. There was a six-chambered revolver on the floor, five of the chambers being still loaded, and one apparently just recently discharged. As there were no facilities at the Severn Tunnel Junet-ion to have the case treated there, he brought the young man on to Newport, where he was helped out of the train and placed on the ambulance carriage, and, under the charge of Ticket-inspector William Jones and Porter Pill, he was taken to the Newport Hospital, and treated by the resident surgical staff. Inquiry after the patient's admission showed that the young man was Frederick George Slip, 21 years of age, a single man, lining with hia father at 29, St. Vincent-road, Newport. He and his father have carried on a. K/Usine^s as box-makers. They were pre- v.,uBly in business at Jersey, and afterward? for eome time at the Canton Saw milk, Cardiff. Interview with the Father I In an interview with the father Mr. Slip stated that his son left home on Saturday to go away, but where he was going he did not say, and his parents had no idea where he had gone to. Apart from the fact that his son had been a little gay of late, he did not know of any cause for committing such a rash act. Mr. Slip stated further that one of his daughters once had an old revolver, and it is possible that the one his son had in his possession was the same weapon. INTERVIEW WITH A BROTHER I Had a Hard Time of It" I When our repreeentative acquainted Roger Slip, a brother of Frederick G. Slip, of the fa?t. Roger said, "I expected something of the kind." "Why" asked our reporter. "Had he ever threatened to take his life?" "No," said Roger, "but he has had a hard time of it. He was a box-maker, like myself, and my father had a business of his own some years ago, but he failed, and then we all separated. My brother and father went to Guernsey, and some time after my father accepted the managership of the Clarence Saw Mills at Newport, where my brother joined him last summer. There they had been working ever since, and lodging together at a Mrs. Matthews, in St. Vincent-etreet, Newport." "Can you give me any idea as to his action this morning?" asked our reporter. "Well, they could not get anyone to put money into the joinery works, and probably this affected both my father and brother. Yet, he was of a cheerful disposition, and played footba.ll for several Newport teams, and was courting a young lady at Newport." "Who is Going to Bury Me P" I Mrs. blip was crying as if her heart would break, and between her sobs told OUT repre- sentative that it was not long gince her son had visited her. He was in good spirits then, and asked me if I had insured him. I said "No," and "Then, who is going to bury me when I die?" he asked; "but little did I think of this hapening." The Business in Guernsey I The business in Guernsey had, it seems, been given over to the young man, but with what success he had carried it on does not appear to be plain. When he was first found in the railway oarriage it was believed that he was dead. He was for a short time apparently uncon- scious, but recovered, and was conscious wfaen he was admitted to the hospital, and remained so afterwards. He, however, would not say why the injury, was inflicted. The weapon is a cheap six-chambered re- volver of .32 calibre and of old-faehioned Belgian pattern. Klip was aLone in the last compartment of the last ooaoh of the train—the one next to the guard's van.

IIMPARTIAL BUSY BURGLARS The busy burglars who are operating in and around Newport are evidently no mspectors of persons. Amongst their latest exploits is a theft at the house ofex-Polke. sergeant John Tooze at 14, St. Woolos-road. Obtaining an etnmnce from the front the intruder searched the downstair rooms, and then went above, where about £3 or JM was discovered and

Miners' Federation CONSIDERATION OF DISPUTES South Wales and the L.R.C, A meting of the council of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held at the Anigel Hotel, Cardiff, to-day. Mr. Watts Morgan announced that Mabon was laid up with influenza, and unable to attend in consequence. For a similar reason Mr. T. Richards, M.P., was unable to be present, and Mr. Alfred Onions acted as secretary. Wyndham Colliery Dispute At a previous meeting the council asked that a special meeting of the Conciliation* Board should be convened to consider a dis- pute at the Wyndham Colliery, Ogmore Valley, and a. reply was received from Mr. W. Gaecoyne Dalziel, secretary to the Owners' Association, expla,ining that a special meeting was unnecessary, as the ordinary meeting to deal wit,h disputes would be held on the 19th inst. Cardiff City Hall A letter was received from the Lord Mayor of Cardiff consenting to conduct the members of the council over the new City-hall and law courts.—It was resolved that the offer be accepted, and that a date would be fixed which would be suitable to the members and the Lord Mayor. G-wenallt Colliety Disput3 Mr. Winstone complained that the manager of the Gwenallt Colliery in his district had altered the Christmas holidays as arranged by the Conciliation Board, and it was I resolved that this matter be placed on the agenda for the next meeting of the Concilia- I tion Board. Insurance of Checkweighers The council had under consideration the in- surance of checkweighers, sub-checkweighers, and examiners under Section 38 of the Coal Mines Regulation Act, and it was resolved that the secretary be instructed to write to the dis- tricts and ask if any arrangements had been made by which these men were secured against accident, in view of the new Act which comes into operation on the 1st of July next. Blaenavon District I A deputation of Blaenavon workmen appeared before the council, and stated that they had failed to satisfactorily settle a number of disputes which had arisen. It was also reported that this district had decided to amalgamate with the Eastern Valleys district. As a result of this amalga- mation, Mr. Winstone will become the agent of the me-n, a,nd it was resolved that he and Mr. William Harries be asked to deal with the Blaenavon disputes as eoom as possible. I Anltual Conference I Arrangements were made for the holding of tho annual conference of the Federation oai the 18th of March at Cardiff, and 9, number of questions of importance will be placed upon the agenda. The question of joining the L.R.C. will be raided in two forms --(1) whether t.he Miners' Federation of Great Britain shall be asked to re-poll the districis on the subjeot, and (2) whether the .Sotith Wales Miners' Federation shall t"k an independent ballot to ascertain whether the i* ajor 'ty of t.he members shall join the L.R C inrieperdent of the British Federation. A t. hi Another important question which will be placed on the agenda, is that of the centra''iar.- tion of the funds. Parliamentary Fund I The Treasurer and Acting Secretary reported upon the result of the appeal case in the King's Bench Division on Saturday with reference to the Parliamentary levy. It was clear from that decision, said Mr. Onions, that a revision of the rules of the Federation was necessary, and it was resolved to put this question on the agenda for the next conference. A re-modelling of the rulee, it was felt, must be made in accordance with legal advice which has been reoeived.

HE DRANK WATER I Cochfarf's Superior Vision I At the Cardiff City Council this afternoon Mr. J. T. Richards referred to the recommen- dations of the waterworks committee that the council should acquire the leasehold interest of the Pont-y-capet Brewery Com- pany in the Storey Arms, near the new reservoir on the Brecon Beacons, for £ 1,750. He put several questions to the committee as to the object of the acquisition, and, in reply, Alderman David Jones (chairman e-f the committee) stated tha;t the object was to remove any risk of contain ination that might from the proximity of the public premises to the reservoir. There were 30 years unexpired, and the amount was the very lowest they had been able to get the owners to accept. The Town Clerk said the nuisance was a recurring one, and they had not bee nable to get the Brecon authorities to deal with the miisanoe. Mr. J. T. Richards said tha.t surely there was tome demedy in law to prevent con- tamination of public reservoirs from nuis- ances arising on private premises. He moved that the matter be referred back for further consideration. Mr. F. Gaskell seconded, and said that, in any case, they had a common law remedy for the nuisnce, if a. nuisance did exist. Aldernnui Edward Thomas said it seemed that those gentlemen who proposed a,nd seconded the amendment had not read all the literature which appeared on their minutes with regard to the Stfrey Arms. He had been up to the Storey Arms when there was a pionic there. Mr. Morgan Thomas: Oh, what did you have there? Alderman Thomas; Water, sir; Cwmtaf water, and that, perhaps, is why I saw more than other members who were up there. (" Oh and laughter.) The property was within the gathering ground of their water- shed, amd they ought to take advantage of the present opportunity of acquiring control of the premises. On a division the recommendation of the committee was adopted. t

FELL 50 FEET I Swansea Merchant's Accident I Mr. Howells, of the firm of Stewarb allld Howells, iron merchants, Swansea, met wit-h a. serious accident .a.t Briton Ferry to-day. The firm recently acquired the siite, together with machinery and ironworlcs. of the old Cambria,n Coke and Fuel Works, Briton Ferry, and dismantling operations were being proceeded with to-day, undei1 the supervision, of Mr. Howells. Mr. Howells had occasion to go to the coal bunkers above, and was in the act of crossing from one side to the other, when a portion of the old woodwork under his feet gave way, precipitating him headling to the old, weatherbeaten roof of the fuel factory, and from there down to the groamd, a d iterance of about 50ft. Medical aid was at cn-oe procured, and the injured man was taken, to the Swansea Hospital. No external marks of injury were viable, but it is fea-red that Mr. Howells has ¡ sustained serious intern,al injury.

Train Outrage in France LONDON LADY IN SERIOUS CONDITION A London lady, whose name is given as Miss Suzanne Low, was the victim of a murderous attack in the Turin expre-ss on Saturday night. Miss low was on her way to Paris. When the express stopped at Modaaie she was found in one of the comp,artments unconscious and terribly injured. Her assailant had struck her eeneritl time with a hammer. There is no hospital at Modane, and the injured lady was ta.kem to Chambery, where she underwent the operation of trepanning. Her condition is very serious. No trace of the assailant has been found.—Central News. Mrs. Low, who neither speaks nor under. stands French, in the course of her examina- tion through the medium of an interpreter, made the following statement:—I am a lady companion to Madame Lechel, and I was returning from Genoa to Paris, where she was to meet me. At Turin a well-dressed young I man with a fair moustache entered my com- partment and settled himself as though to sleep. I did likewise, and had gone off into a doze when I received a violent blow on the head. I opened my eyes and beheld my fellow-traveller with a hammer in his hand. before I had time to cry out, I received a second blow and lost consciousness. When my senses returned I found that I had been robbed of my jewels and my purse. The hammer used by her assailant has been found in the conl)artment.-Reuter.

Boy'sStrangeAdventures I SOUGHT IN CANADA BY HIRWAIN MAN I The case of a pauper boy named Tudor Wil- liams has involved the Merthyr Board of Guardians in a good deal of worry. The boy, with two brothers, was deserted by their mother, and they were placed in the training- school at Aberdare. Two officers of the school, William Morgan, tailor, and G. Davies, gardener, relinquished their a.ppoint- ments and entered into partnership as mineral water manufacturers. Tudor was allowed to go into their service, Davies being held responsible for the care of the child. The partnership was dissolved, Davies retiring fi-ona the business, which was carried on by Morgan, who also became the telnan of the Rolling Mill Inn, at Hirwain. Morgan displayed grea t anxiety to retain the boy in his employ, but the guardians objected, and he returned to the school. Per- sistent efforts were made by Morgan to get the yoaingster into his keeping, and he put forward the statement that he was really the child's father. The guardians, however, upon investigation were satisfied that the boy as r legitimate, the father being a marine engi- I neer. With a view to putting the lad out of Mor- gan's easy reach, the guardians sent him to a situation at Bargoed, but Morgan inveigled him from there, and, after taking him to Lon- don, secreted him for a while in the Rhondda, whence he took him to Hirwain in the dead of night. For this the guardians prosecuted him before the magistrates, and he was fined R-3 and costs. Nevertheless, Morgan still seemed bent upon getting hold of the boy, and in order, as they thought, to put the little fellow beyond the range of the man's interference they sent him to Dr. Baraardo's Home in London, so that he might join a batch of other boys emigrat- ing to Canada. To Canada he went, and upon his arrival at Dr. Barnardo's Home at Toronto he was claimed by certain persons who repre- sented themselves to be his uncle and aunt. But the guardians were suspicious of the h ^a-fides of these professed relatives, and c. -sod further inquiries to be made by the siuperintendent of the Toronto Home, the result of which was contained in a. cable- gra.m read at the meeting of the guardians on Saturday. The message stated that William Morgan (who had evidently preceded Tudor oil the voyage) had obtained possession of the boy by fraudulent means, but that the boy had been recovered and they were endeavour- ing to prosecute. The cablegram asked, "la he, as he states, the boy's father?"

I New Army Scheme I I WHAT WALES GETS I i Under the new Army scheme Wales and Monmouthshire will still be comprised in the Western Command, and the headquarters will be at Chester. There is evidently to be come rr-arrangement of the troops in South Wales, but the details so far published are too meagre to show what theee are likely to be The Army Order, however, states definitely that Pembroke Dock. Newport (Mon.), and Preston (Lancashire) will have one heavy brigade of the Royal Garrison Artillery, two training brigades of the Royal Field Artillery, and one provisional battalion divided between them. This is not likely to go a long way. Pembroke Dock will, doubtless, get the lion's share of the Royal Garrison Artillery and also a part of the provisional battalion. The training briga.des of the Royal Field Artillery, however, will probably be the most interesting feature of the re-organisation scheme. It will be remembered that some time ago Mr. Haldane announced his inten- tions with rega.rd to the Artillery. According to his plan, some of the batteries would not be needed for that part of the Army kept as nlear as possible to a war footing. He also hinted at the possibility of using the surplus batteries for other purposes. Speaking on Friday night in Glasgow, he said they (the War Office) were taking the batteries of artillery t,hat were surplus to the requirements of the fighting batteries— that was to say, between 30 and 40 batteries— and they were forming these into training schools or brigades consisting each of three batteries; and they were going to bring those surplus ba-tteries into various parts of the country to form training schools, in order to train more artillerymen for t.he service of the fighting line for the fighting batteries." Fifteen-pounder guns of the newest pattern will be available for these training schools, and Mr. Haldane evidently intends that these schools should afford facilities for atraining not only to Regulars, but to Militia and Volunteers. Clearly, therefore, they must be placed in the midst of large populations, so that Preston, in Lancashire, and Newport, in Monmouthshire, will be the venue of the two schools in the Western Command. Th-ere are already depots of the Royal Field Artillery in those towns. In regard to t.he Volunteers, however, it may be pointed out that the Artillery Volunteers in Glamorgan and Monmourtbshire are garrison, and not field, artillery.

A BRILLIANT REVIEW Entertaining the Ameer in India The Ameer. wearing the scarlet uniform of a general, with the sash of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, and an a.strakham busby, accompanied by the Viceroy and Lord Kitchener, on Saturday witnessed a review of 30,000 at Agra.. The c ous weather and the absence of dust conduced to maike the spectacle one of unqualified brilliance when two entire divi- sions, mobilised as for war. ma-rebed past en masse. There were no mishaps of any kind to mar the scene. A marked feature of the review was the presence of three rifle brigades, two Gurkha {l.nd one British. The Maharajah of GWa.lior led the 1st Duke of York's Own Lancers (Skinner's Horse), of which he is honorary colonel. The Marajah of Bikanir joined the staff. The display closed with a, gallop of the Horse Artillery and the Cavalry in review order. The Ameer evinced intense interest in all the details.—Reuter. Good for the Cows The Mahomed ans of Delhi proposed to1 slaughter a hundred com; to celebrate the presence of the Ameer at the coming Bakir- in fet-tivala His Majesty, learning that this was likely to offend Hindu sentiment, refused to attend the festivities if any were slaughtered, saying that he would not- O,)oUTI- tenamco anything likely to produce strife. The Ma.homedans will, therefore, slaughter no cows.—Reutcr.

A MYSTERIOUS LETTER Mrs. Georgina Davies was on Saturday granted a decree nisi by Mr. Justice Bar- grave Deane, on the ground of the miscon- duct of her husband, Mr. Frederick Davies, who carries on business as a tea merchant at 44, Lord-street., Liverpool. It was stated that he was at one time a member of the London School Board, representing Chelsea. While the wife was searching for evidence in con- nection with the case, her husband wrote stating that to save "trouble and expense" she could get information about him at the Hotel Windsor, Westminster. The necesskry particulars were there obtained When the case was called on, his Lordship said that the President of the Divorce Division had received a letter with regard to this ease, which he would hand down to counsel. Mr. Bayford having read it, his Lordship said: "Let me have it back. The letter must be gone into. We must know the truth: about it. The petitioner probably knows the j facts. MT. Bayford said he would ask her, but i jn«ttiing raoi-o, mast h asued.

LLANELLY SENSATION Mr G. F. Blake's Throat Cut. PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCES A painful sensation was created at Llanelly to-day when Mr George P. Blake, agent to the Stradey Estate, was found in the conser- vatory at his residenoe, Wellfield. with his throat cut. Mr. Blake had arranged to go to London to-day, and at the time the discovery was made the 'bus was waiting outside the house to convey him to the station. It was found that there was a serious gash in the throat, and Dr. D. J. Williams, Dr. Evan Evans, and Dr. Samuel Williams were quickly in attendance. 0 At present the unfortunate gentlemen is in a critical condition. It is surmised that recent developments in connection with the Stradey Estate have preyed upon his mind, arrangements having been made that Mr. Charles Lewis shall suc- ceed to the agency of the estate in Feb- ruary. Air. Blake has held the position for over 30 years, and is held in the highest esteem in the town and county. He is the president of the Llanelly Chamber of Commeroe, and also occupies a seat on the harbour trust.

Arbroath Disaster. I CONDITION OF GOURLAY. I Told to Go Carefully. I Proceedings in the Arbroath railway inquiry were reenmed to-day shortly before noon in the Court-house, Arbroath, by Sheriff Fergusson, and were at once tempo- rarily suspended to enable the jury to in- spect an engine of the same type as that driven by George Gourlay on December 28. When the court re-opened, Oharles William Whitton, ^pa-reels clerk, Arbroath, deposed t,hat on the 28th he saw Gourlay attempting to vomit on his engine. He appeared ill, and h'is voice was thick. Some evidence was directed t,o the ques- tion as to wbefthei- Gourlay could have had his engine reversed instead of going to Elliot tender first. Alexander Thorn, head porter, Arbroath, and James Beat tie, signalman at the south box, both ewoTe that when his tra-in left Gourlay showed no signs of drink He was told that the block system had broken down, and, being cautioned to call at all stations, answered, *'That's All Right." I William Rollo, in charge of the turntable at Arbroath Station, called as to the ques- tion of the possibility of turning Gourlay's engine so as to avoid proceeding tender first, said he could have turned Gourlay's engine on the afternoon of the 28til of December if an application had been made to him, but he was not asked to bring the turntable into use. There was no obstructions to prevent access t oit. John Hogue, shunter, swore that Gourlay made no application to have his engine reversed, but replying to Mr. Cooper, witness admitted that had such a request been made he did not think the engine could have been turned. The Sherriff: In saying that you are referring to the condition of the down line as occupied by standing engines? Witness: Yes. J. Alexander, head porter at Arbroath, in the course of his examination, said he srpolte to Gourlay I Within Three Minutes of his start on the ill-fated journey to Elliot Junction. Mr. Cooper: Was there anything peculiar about Gourlay's speech or appearance at that time? Witness: No. Was there any sign of drink about Gourlay three minutes before his train left?-No, not that I saw. The Procurator Fiscal: What did you say to Gourlay immediately before the start? Witness: I said to him, Call at all stations and go carefully." Did you say anything about his' being under the caution sytem?—What I have told you is all I said to him. The proceedings were suspended, the sheriff I and jury at once leaving for the railway Station.

Telephone Girl Shot. I HER LOVER ARRESTED I Brixton was the scene of a terrible love I tragedy late on Saturday night. Miss Flo- rence Wakeling, a pretty telephone operator, about 21 years of age, lodging in speenham-\ road, at the Brixton end of Stockwell-road, was, it is alleged, shot by her sweetheart at her lodgings and ied yesterday morning, a few hours afterwards. The sweetheart, who has been arrested on the charge of wilful murder, is Edward Wyatt, and he is alleged to have fired three deliberate shots at her. One grazed her right eye and another penetrated her breast, in- flicting terrible injuries, which gave no hope of recovery from the first. Leaving work as usual at four o'clock on Saturday, Wyatt went to Speenham-road to spend the evening with Miss Wakeling, and Miss Wakeling, her sister, Wyatt, and the sister's sweetiheart went together to the early evening performance at the Theatre Metro- pole, Camberwell. There was no quarrel during the evening, and all were apparently on good terms with one another, though Wyatt seemed unusually silent and reserved in his demeanour. Later in the evening they returned to Speenham-road, and played cards I till about half-past ten. -M,if,s Julia Wakeling went downstairs with Mr Wellock to bid him good-bye on the door- step, and left her sister and Wyatt in the- upstairs room. While they were saying their farewells three loud revolTcr shots rang out through the house. Back upstairs darted Wellock, Miss Wakeling following him. There on the floor lay Florence Wakeling with blood gushing from her breast., and with a fearful wound on her face; and looking down on her prostrate form ptood Wyatt, with a. revolver scorching hot in bis hand. Wellock instantly wrenched the revolver with one chamber still loaded from Wya-tt s hand, and Miss Julia Wakeling screamed "Murder. Throughout the night the poor girl lay unconscious, moaning piteouely neaxly all i the time. It was evident that her life was rapidly ebbing away, and about 7.M yester- day morning she siicoumbed. Jealousy is said to have been the cause of I t,he tragedy. I Prisoner at Police-court At Lambeth to-day John Edward Wyatt (28), described as a. clerk of Brixt-on, was remanded for a week charged with the murder of Florence Wakeling, said to be his sweetheart, by shooting her with a revolver. Detective-inspector Fowler stated that on Saturday night he went to 12, Speenham- road, Stockwell, whore he found the girl lying on the floor in a bcd-sitting-roam, bleeding from the nose eyes, and mouth Her richt eye was badly discolouied, and S?rc ? a wound on the iiot brea^t. She remained unconscious UP to her death, which occurred on Sunday morning. Witness added that the prisoner made no reply when charged with her murder, but while being searched at the police-station he aeked. Did she regain consciousness ? A number of letters a-nd other things were found upon the prisoner, but Inspector Fowler did not propose to go further into the case to-da.y. Prisoner had no quest ions to ask the wit- ness.

The Lord Mayor remarked that there were tootle fittings lying about in come of the rooms, a.nd he would not oa,re for those fit- tings to be damaged or any of thetni removed. Mr. Lewis Morgan complained of the slow rate at whioh the work was proceeding. The education department had been waiting to move into the new Town-hall for six weeks, ad tihe oly things that required to be attended to six weeks ago were the cl!cetric wiring and the toleipHionos.

I Ladies as Thieves. I I CHARITY BAZAARS ROBBED BY BERLIN BELLES Astonishing revelations are being made of fraud oommitted by society women who make a practice of taking a prominent part in bazaars and other charity functions. It is shown that these "hyenas of charity," as they are called here (says the "Express" Berlin correspondent) have not only vic- timised gatherings legitimately organised, but that they have been in the habit of engineering theatrical fetes, where they sold cups of coffee at 5s. and 10s. each, and other articles of refreshment at equally extra- vagant prices. In one case a lady sold kisses on the bare a.rm for 10s., on the neck for 20s., and on the oheek for 30s. Those who were shocked by this and other stiii more astonishing devices for obtaining money were told that every- thing was justifiable in the cause of charity. Unfortunately, further revelations have made it clear that niamy of these nominally charitable ladies Appropriated Large Sums of the money obtained in this way. One society belle, a prominent figure at all charitable fetes, systematically appropriated all gold coins paid to her, and only handed over silver coins to the treasurer. Puccently one wo-mam, detected in the act of stealing money, was publicly assaulted at a charitable fete by a lady whose indignation carried her away. The sight of one fashionably dressed lady whipping another gorgeously arrayed dame at an assembly attended by 2,000 persons created great excitement, and led to persistent inquiries as to the cause of the encounter. Another hyena of charity was detected in the act of pocketing money, and was compelled to disgorge her spoils on the spot, in the full view of forty or fifty contemp- tuous spectators. She was searched there and then, and gold coins were extracted from her pockets, from the folds of her dress, and even from her dainty shoes. Then she was driven from the building amid loud hisses and hoots.

Promise of a Scene. MISTAKE IN WORKHOUSE CONTRACT I At the meeting of the Carmarthen Guar- dians on Saturday the Rev. Fuller Mills animadverted upon the question of the work. house contract, and stated that, although be had no imputation to make. he considered things were done at the special meeting held on the previous Saturday in a very dis- orderly and irregular way. A fortnight pre- viously they accepted the tender of Messrs. Pye, Parkinson, and Co., Swansea, for the re-building of the workhouse, but since then the firm had sent a letter to their clerk intimating that they had made a mistake in their tender of £ 1,800, and could not carry out the contract at the price they had quoted. He (Mr. Mills) considered that that communication ought to have come in its proper course before the board at that day's meeting, but how was it that the contents of that communication were made known before the board had met in the usual manner? How had the fact that the suc- cessful tenderers had withdrawn become known to one local firm who tendered, and not to others? The Clerk (Mr. John Saer) replied that it probably became known through hie sending out the agenda for the special meeting held on the previous Saturday. Mr. Mills did not object to the matter being put on the agenda in a general way, but to the details of the letter being disclosed. The details had got out in the town, and a privilege had been given one contractor above another. He was not entering his protest against the acceptance of any tender, but against the details of a communication being made known before it came before the board in the proper way. If this thing occurred again he, as a member of the board, would at once rise to move a vote of censure. Mr. James John (St. Clears) said he thought it was open to any member of the board to write to their clerk for information. Mr. Mills said the proper course would have been to communicate the details of the letter to the board for the first time on the Satur- day. Mr. John: I don't believe you, sir. We could not have treated with the matter unless wo had it on our agenda. That is only quib- bling. (Laughter.) Mr. Mills: I am not quibbling. I am only stating what is the proper order of business. Mr. Thomas (Llanarthney) said he felt oer- tain that they exonerated their clerk of all blame. Mr. Mills was present at the last meeting, and it was quite competent for him ¡ then to make any remarks in regard to the matter. Mr. Mills, however, did not take any part in the discussion. Mr. Mills said that he was exceedingly unwell on the previous Saturday, and got out of bed to att-end the meeting when he was really unfit. Had he been in his usual health he would have taken part in the discussion. He did not blame anyone for what had happened. He did not blame the clerk even. The matter then dropped, though there had been promise of a stormy scene. Subject to the contract being signed and Mr. Davies entering into a bond, the guar- dia.ns allowed the contractor to start work to-day (Monday).

FACES AT THE WINDOW I Count Witte Saved from Assassination The existence of an Anarchist plot against the life of Count Witte has just been brought to light at St. Petersburg. The Anarchists passed sentence of death on the ex-Premier, and entrusted two men to carry it out. The count's friends, however, furnished him with photographs of the would-be assassins, and he informed the police that he saw at his windows the two men. A party of police who went, as the result of further information, to make a search of the lodgings of three workmen met with serious resistance. The lights were extin- guished as they entered, and they were fired upon. Two commissionaires and two police- men were killed and three police agents wounded. The assailants escaped.—Exchange Telegraph Company. I Another Murder ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. 1M. Bresilestiiovski, the chief of police of Daghestan, on the Caspian, was murdered to-day.

TIRED OF LIFE AT FIFTEEN Many letters have been received by Mr. Plowden, the magistrate, and Mr. Kirby, the missionary, at Marylobone Po lioe-court, with reference to the servant girl Amelia Foreman, aged fifteen, who was charged on Wednesday with attempting to take her life by jumping into the ornamentaltwater at Regent's Park. She told the magistrate she did it because she had t-o leave her place and bad nowhere to go. She was also understood to say that she had a drunken mother, but there is some doubt as to whether that is correct. The letters come from all parts, and contain all sorts of offers and suggestions for the girl's future welfare. Many of the writers offer her a situation; others offer to adopt her and provide her with a home. One writer suggests that she should be sent to Canada, where her future would be assured, while another claims relationship, luid expresses a willingness to employ her. When, however, the girl is brought up on remand, the missionary will suggest to Mr. Plowden that she should be sent to a home a.t Brompton, where she will be thoroughly trained for service, and, when competent, sup- plied with a complete outfit and found a situation.

WORKHOUSE AS A FATTING-STALL" A number of the Oricklade and Woottoh Baesett (Wilts) Board of Guardians declared a.t the last meeting of the board that the prejudice against the workhouse is dying out, and that it is now described by the inmates as the "fatti'ng-stall."

Schooner&AI I Hands Lost I A HANDKERCHIEF MARKED G. W. DAVIES." CUXHAVEN. Sunday. The Liverpool schooner Pengwern has gone ashore near Scharhoorn. Only the top of the mizzenmast is visible. The crew were drowned. The Pengwern was laden with salt- petre from Taltal (Chile). The tug Vulcan went to the assistance of the Pengwern when the latter grounded, and passed close by her. The crew of the Pen- gwern threw a living dog and a bundle of ciothes on board the tug, and they reached her perfectly dry. A handkerchief, marked "G. W. Davies," was found in the clothes. The crew of the stranded vessel disregarded an appeal to jump into the water, so that they might be rescued, whereupon the, Vulcan again steamed by the Pengwern, and the skipper announced that he would fetch a lifeboat from the second Elbe Lignt- ship. When the Vulcan had covered about half the distance to the lightship the heavy sea broke over the Pengwern, which dis- appeared from view. The crew of 24 crowded in the after part of the vessel, and were drowned. It is stated that a British pilot was also aboard the Pengwern.-Reuter.

REVOLT OF SAILORS I Marine Firemen in Custody I At Liverpool Police-court on Saturday I eleven marine firemen who had been arrested by the Mersey River police were brought before the stipendiary magistrate charged I under the Merchant Shipping Act with com- bining to refuse duty on board the Welsford Line steamer Ikbal. Captain Matthew Robertson, master of the Ikbal, said two men who had signed on failed to join, and the el-even defendants told him they refused to go if he signed on the two substitutes he had on board. Patrick O'Brien (one of the defendants): I never refused to work. It was not my watch, and I was not asked to work. The Stipendiary: It is disobeying orders if you go to the captain and say "Unless those men are put on shore we wont go with you. O'Brien: I never said that. It was like tlhis. J-ust listen. The Stipendiary: I won't listen. You have admitted that you refused to work with these two men. O'Brkn: You won't listen, eh? That is justice in England. The Stipendiary then tuirned to another defendant—Midhael Slavin-and asked if he had anything to say. O'Brien: It's no use saying anything. You might as well shut your mouth, aTr of yez. The Stipendiary: Put Patrick O'Brien below on remand till Monday. I am not going to have a mutiny here. O'li-ien promptly walked below to the oells, and the other defendants were remanded till to-day.

SHIP ON FIRE AT PENARTHI A fire broke out late on Saturday night on board the steamship Longhurst, 1,952 tons, owned by Messrs. Pyman, Watson, and Co., lying in Penarth Dock. Captain Martin, deputy-dockmaaiter, was soon at hand with the reel and hose, and descended No. 3 'tween decks, where he found a wooden bulkheatj and a number of shifting boards ablaze. Captain Martin handled the hoe himself, and, after battling with the outbreak for about twenty minutes, succeeded in subduing the flames on the foreside of the bulk-head. He then got the hose into play on the shifting boards in the aft part of No. 3 hatchway. This was attended by many difficulties, but with the desired result. The Penarth Brigade, with engine, responded to the alarm, but were unable to get near the ship, the wheels of the engine becoming jammed ill the pointe; on the dock side.
