Prince and Poor Girl. A MORGANATIC MARRIAGE. One of the prettiest princely love romances of the early sixties is re-called by the death at Salzburg, yesterday, at the age of 77, of Prince Charles (Karl) von H o henlohe- Lan gen burg. He was the eldest son of Prince Ernest, the head of the famous "mediatised" -practically reigning-house of Hohenlohe- L4n gen burg. The father died on April 12. 1860, and only nine days later Prince Chafles renounced all his rights and the wealth of the vast family estates in order to maxry a beautiful ple- beian girl from the neighbourhood of his birthplace, Lamgeiiburg, named Fraulein Marie Dorothea GraAhwohl. The morganatic mw-risge took place at Paris in Februa.ry of the following year, and the couple lived for nearly 40 yeara in ideal happiness, which terminated only with her death. Fifteen years before that the King of Wurtemburg granted her the title of Baro- ness von Bronn. Prince Ohaxles's rights passed, to his brother, Prince Herma-nn, who is now the Viceroy of Alsace-Lorraine. The youngtot brother, Vice-admiral Prince Viotor of Hofoen- lohe-Langenburg, lived in London, where in 1861 he married Lady Laura Seymour (Countess Gleiohen). Prince Victor died in London in 1891.

SHOT BY A SISTER. Do as Daddy Does with Birds" A pathetic accident occurred in Newcastle- on-Tyne yesterday afternoon. Hilda Thomp- son, aged two yettre and two months, the youngest daughter of John Thompson, who keeps a. beerhouse, was shot dead by her eldest sister, Elizabeth, aged seventeen yearn. The eldest girl had taken down a double- barrelled gun, which her father used for pigeon-shooting, with the intention of dusting it, end, in a playful way, she placed the muzzle against the neek of a sooond taster of ten or twelve years of age. She then pulled the trigger, but the gum did not go off. The infant sister, amused by the act, asked that the gun might be placed againat her neck, saying, "Do as daddy does with the birds." There happened to be a cartridge in the second barrel, and when the trigger waa pulled the chairge exploded, and the shot entered the left side of the child's neck. Mr. Thompson, who was in the bar at the time, rushed upstairs, and, seeing what had happened, picked up the little girl, and was carrying her to the infirmary, when she died on the way. The eldest sister, Elizabeth, was then taken into custody.

A DOCTOR'S JESTS Speaking last night at Greeham College, Dr. F. M. Sandwith gave an account of cerebrospinal meningitis, or spotted fever. He said that brain fever was the favourite trouble which affected heroines in novels, who invariably recovered. (Laughter.) If you have any form of meningitis," Dr. Sand- with proceeded, you had better have the cerebrospinal meningitis, where the chance of life is 50 per cent. If you have any other forms of mendngitia, order your coffin. (Laughter.) The brain fever of novels is per- fectly sale; you had better order the wedding cake. (Laughter.) Some people affected with it go to bed and forget all about iit—Christian Science, that is called. (Laughter.) It was one charm of a. notifiable disease tboa the medical officer carried out diiednfeetian with- out charge." (Laughter.) In conclusion, he spoke of railway spine" after collisions, and said that the settlement of damages against the railway company improved the patient's condition. (Laughter.)

That Reminds Me- Inscrutable are the ways of Provi- dence, incomprehensible the portents by which the sequence of events are foretold to blind humanity. On Wednesday the sympathetic wires hummed with news of the advent in London of the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, the eminent apostle of temperance from Topeka, Kansas. On Thursday—hot in the wake of the preacher—came the fateful cablegram: "The distillers of Peoria, Illinois, have begun to use steel casks for whisky." Undaunted foe, undented armour! Out of the tangled nightmare conjured up by this incongruous sequence of great happenings a memory beams, coruscant, through two decades of melted years. It is a mixed memory, too-one of yellow poppies gleaming in the Foothills under the Sierra's serrated minarets of snow, of the palpitant springtime in the Golden West, of light hearts in a railway train, and cool, frothy lager beer fresh from the ice, and withal of a dour-faced, black-habited man, who scowled out of the corner of a Pullman. It was in the smoking compartment, and we were twisting down the grade of the Tfrhachi Pass from Summit, where I had wasted a heaven-sent California day. It was of Summit that the teacher of all IIWtin wrote, "Rocks et pnetirea nihil," because he forgot to count the lizards and the snakes. The train I entered was full of Raymond excursionists, so- called-the opposite. numbers, if one may use that term, of Cook's tourists over here. This lot were all Sunday School luminaries, from Down East in Maine or thereabouts—ladies and gentlemen who went on the toot with pre-digested breakfast food ilnd pink lemonade. Among this galaxy of gourmets, how- ever, I happily lighted on one that I knew to be a man within the meaning of the Act—an American army officer whom I had sat beside two years before at Colonel Drake's far-famed-and-only- genuinei annual game dinner at the Chicago Grand Pacific Hotel. With him I repaired to the smoker, with intent to discuss M. Villon's "Neiges dantan" and kindred topics, and incidentally to signify the same in the usual manner. The smoking compartment was small, and had only two seats vis-a-vis. The other corner seat faced the doorway. One seat was occupied—or, rather, invested-by the blot on my picture, the man that cast his shadow athwart my heaven of shimmering gold. He looked an itinerant soul-snatcher of the most pro- nounced type'tha.t can assail the human vision. He was a dark, powerfully- built man of about 55, with a face that was positively dour with the atmosphere of achieved salvation. He had high cheek bones, and black eyes that glowed under black eyebrows of unprecedented shaggmess. His hair was obtrusively black despite its struggling streaks of grey. So was his rather closely cropped beard. This latter covered his cheeks and throat &nd the lower portion of his chin; but his long blue upper lip and a semi-circle under the mouth were clean shaven. Fuzzy wisps of black hair stuck out of his ears. He was clothed entirely in black broadcloth, the long black frock coat being of an exceptionally clerical cut. His trousers hung short and were knee- irumpled. He wore black shoes with elastic sides, and-inùnwuity of incon- gruities on a California railway train- black gloves that were an inch too long even for the immense hands they covered. On top of all was a tall hat of some rare and obsolete vintage, encircled with a deep mourning band, fixed American fashion with a row of black pins down the side. His shirt, his narrow tie, and his socks that sagged over his shoes were white. On the seat at his side there was a rigid looking black bag that actually smelt of tracts and the promise of damnation. The afternoon was hot, and I had come from Summit, so we ordered a couple of bottles of laager beer. Our stranger only scowled when we sum- moned the buffet porter, but when I absorbed my reputed pint with the speed justified by the occasion, I fancied that he intended to jump down my throat after it, and drag it out again by the roots—froth and all. Presently we ordered another small beer. As a matter of fact, I was so thirsty that I felt as though I could have swallowed six without embarrassment; but the effect upon the enemy, as I now re- garded the solitary stranger, was as refreshing as the other ifve. He visibly and actually perspired with suppressed indignation. With both hands he gripped the "tract-sack," as my friend —the Colonel-called the black bag, and he looked as though intent upon bom- barding us with its contents. The steely glance of the Colonel's eye was too much for him, however, and the twitching hands were reluctantly withdrawn front the clasps. In the despair of baffled desire, impotent fury, he drew a vast blue bandanna handkerchief from his hip pocket, and blew his nose at us sfrich noise like scattered thunder. Never in all a. long and varied career did I hear such an Appalling, though inarticu- late embodiment of the "Anathema Maranatha. The second beer had become a memory. Said the Colonel, We will now proceed to neutralise the chilling e ffects of those lagers with just a nip of the juice of Old Kentucky." The Colonel assumed to be addressing me, but the remark was really spoken at the stranger. The effect was electrical. If this car hadn't a lid on it," whispered the Colonel, who was of Milesian descent, "that gentleman would 'lep' off the earth. Look at him." I looked. The perspiration was Streaming from his nose over his blue lip. He was tugging at his breast pocket, whence he presently extracted a big leather wallet, and from it he drew forth two cards that looked like Sunday School tickets. The portor entered. "Two whiskies and one Shasta water," said the Colonel. Then the spell was broken. "Gentlemen," spluttered the soul-snateher, "do you drink for the mere pleasure of drinking P Do you know what it is that you-" "Sir," snapped the Colonel, with the ring of long untraversed authority in every syllable, "I fail to see how that is any of your blue Alsatian business." At this moment the porter re-entered with -the tra^ and iho-Ck^oiiel-etretched. v out his hand for his "refresher." "For goodness sake, gentlemen, pause!" cried the tranger; one instant's pause is all I beg of you!" The great hands from which he had stripped the gloves again grasped the bag-they clutched it like hairy legs of mutton. With a click as loud as a rifle shot it sprang open. "Throw out that pine-top juice and sample nectar, gents!" he cried again; "this here little lot, gents, is the cream of Old Kentucky." Shining from the gaping top of the black bag were the silver-stoppered tops of six quart bottles. "Take my card, gents," he continued, all drinks is now on me!" He handed us the pseudo Sunday School tickets. I'm Moses B. Haggs, and the boys all know me. I'm boss traveller of the Chesapeake Dis- tilleries, of Louisville, Kentucky. Been just perishing of thirst on ihis here train for three immortal days; for them or'nary Raymond globe-trotters back in the cars don't know balm of Gilead from bug juice, and I'm too sociable to drink lone-handed. You're life-saving, palm- sprouting oasises in a parched land, you are. So says Uncle Moses B; for now we can finish off this little lot. Here's How,' gentlemen." The silver stopper was off. The liquid topaz was glistening I into the crystal glasses. It was truly excellent whisky. The envy alike of prelates, potentates, and kings!" com- mended Mr. Haggs, as he eyed the alluring goblets. And I've barrels more of it in the baggage car." I looked at the Colonel. "Suffering Moses!" said he in a dazed whisper.

Mauled by Jackass. SHOCKING AFFAIR IN WEST WALES As a schoolboy, aged seven, the son of John Young, Pumcheeton, was returning home from Trecwn, across some fields, he was savagely attacked by a jackass belonging to David Harries, Tryet, and rceetived severe injuries. His right oheek was torn open, his left arm broken in two places, and right leg badly torn. The animal picked the boy up from the ground several times, dashing him down aga.in. EventuaJly he managed to crawl cut of the reach of the animal, which was after- wards shot. Dr. O'Donnell (Fishguard) was summoned to the child, whose injuries a-ze so serious, that his life is despaired of.

MISTRESS AND COOK. Mary Mead, a eervainrt, suing at die rken well County-court to recover 1ge. wages in lieu of' notice from Miss Vanderlily, of La-ncaster- gatte, said she was engaged as a cook. She said she would kneel down and clean her own kitchen o-nee a week," but on the day after her service commenced defendant ordered her to cleau the kitchen every day. "Expecting me, your honour," added plaintiff, "to do as much as six servants." The Judge: You would expect to do some tidying up in the kitchen?—Certainly, but she wanted me to clean the kitchen, scullery, and area giteps. Being a boar din g'-house, there wao no time. I said she was imposing upon me, and that I should leave at the end of my month. On the 15th of March she came down to the kitchen and found fault with every- thing because the kitchen .was not like Buckingham Palace, said witness. Defendant said plaintin absolutely re- fused to do her work and to clean the kit- chen. Plaintiff indignantly denied this, adding: I found my own house flannel. Defendant: When I spoke to her she said she would go to bed under the new Act and send for a doctor. I said she seemed to know all about it. The judge said he did not think there was any justification for the dismissal, and gave judgment for plaintiff.

HOLIDAY WEATHER When the weather prophets do agree their unanimity is wonderful, and they are all so detenpined in forecasting fine weather during the next few days that it almost looks as if meteorology had been reduced to an exact science. We shall know more about it on Monday night; but in the meantime it may be remarked that some fine weather is due, and overdue. Ever since Easter, when a burst of heat graced that festival, we have been paying a most exorbitant rate of interest for the tem- porary loan of summer weather. It should weeks ago have been put aside as an uncon- scionable bargain, and if the next three days are rally fine they cannot be regarded as anything in the nature of a favour.

EYEBROWS 10s. 6d. A PAIR Wivlt tbe arrival of summer the arts of the beauty-monger are called into requisition, and this season it is tho turn of the fashion- a,ble hairdresser rather than of the rouge vendor or the skin-food proprietor. The fashion for 1907 is light, straw-coloured hair with eyebrows and eyelashes of a dark chestnut brown. The price of eyebrows is just 10s. 6d. a pair, whila a pair of beautiful, long, curly eye- lashes costs only 5s. These eyelashes, it is stated, can be worn at leaet fifty times before they become dirty and fall off, while eyebrows will; with suffi- oient oaro, last for years. Inquiries among several West End hair specialists yesterday showed that, in every respect, this season has been a record one.

CRUSHED BY FALLING TREE ■ Mr. Thomas Ooady, a gentleman residing at I Ashfield, Ballickmogler, Queen's County, met with a shocking death yesterday. The deceased, who farmed extensively, was superintending the felling of some timber on has land. He approached too near a tree at which three men were working, and was warned, but immediately afterwards, before he had time to escape, the tree collapsed, crushing him to the ground, and inflicting injuries which proved fatal.

HANGED IN PLAY I Fond of a joke, William Henry Maunders, fifteen, of Plaxman-road, Brixton, hanged himself to a nail in the wall, to "frivhteu the other children." He was dead when fonnd. At yesterday's inquest his mother said he was a bright intelligent lad, and not at all likely to commit suicide. Death from mis- adventure," wae the verdict. I

OCTOPUS WITH 27 ARMS I Mr. Gordon Smith has presented to the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, a most remarkable specimen of the octopus caught by. himself in the Japanese seas. Whereas the better-known octopus has only eigtht arms, this monster has 27, each provided with stickers

CORONER ON ANTIQUE METHODS I Commenting at a Lambeth inquest yester- day on the inability of a father to identify the body of his son, who was found drowned, Mr. Troutbeck, the coroner, said such inability was owing to the very antiquated laws which governed these inquiries. We were very much behind otner nations in this particular matter. No means were provided, such aa were found among other civilised nations, for in some way restoring the appearance of what a person was like in life.

'A FESTERING SORE' WEST HAM SCANDAL. Hot-bed of Corruption. DRASTIC PUNISHMENT OF POOR-LAW OFFICIALS. After a semeatdonal preliminary inquiry that lasted for weeks, and a trial that occupied the Central Criminal Court for over a fortnight, the trial of the corrupt West Ham guardians and their satellites was concluded yesterday, when nine out of the ten men arraigned were (as reported in a portion of the Pink Edition last night) found guilty of conspiracy and were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. Tarrant was found not guilty, and was immediately discharged. The verdict was rendered to a packed court-room, in which the nervous tension— owing to the numbers of friends and rela- tives of the prisoners present—was high. Distressing scenes occurred while counsel were pleading for lenient sentences after the decision of the jury had been handed in. The sentences imposed were as follows:— I G. A. Crump (guar- dian) 2 years' hard labour. Lewis Hill (infir- mary steward) 2 years' E G. Hodgkin (work- house master). 18 months' „ „ Jno Anderson (guar- diam) 15 months' „ „ Alf. Skinner (guar- dian) 15 M Alf. Biehes (infir- mary storekeeper) 9 months' „ M Thoe. Watts (guar- dian) 9 b. Frank Hill (guar- dian) 6 months' „ John Baird (inflr- mary engineer) 6 months' „ m- Closing Scenes The Judge, in summing up, thanked the jury for the patience and kindness with which they had listened to the case. He thought the oaao was one where the jury, as a measure of justice, should be compenoated, and he promised to use his influence to see what compensation could be given them. The case was one the gravity and import- ance of which was recognised on all sides, and it was one of the ni-o,,t important that had come before the courts for years. If the caee was proved against any or all of the defendants, then he and they must do their beat to cleanse the Augean stable and stamp out this hot-bed of corruption. The Curse of the Country It was the curse of the country, ana, tie was afraid, a growing curse, that suoh trans- actions as those they had heard of should prevail, and that people were losing their hold upon all that was best in the civic life of the country. The jury retired for the consideration of their verdict at 4.15, and returned at 5.30. In the interval the court had filled up, and much tense feeling was observable. His lordship, taking into his hands two sheets of foolscap, on which their answers to questions had been written, read the verdict, and counsel engaged for the defence of the nine convicted men addressed the court successively in mitigation of punish- ment. Scene in the Dock This formality was for a moment inter- rupted by a dramatic scene. Mr. Metcalfe, speaking on behalf of Hodgkin, the workhouse master, urged as proof of his good character that his client had previously left an appointment where shady practices were in vogue to drop, un- wittingly, into this hell of oorruption." Anderson, from his place in the front row, loudly protested against these observations of counsel. "I challenge these remarks," he vehemently exclaimed, in the face of the world." You must conduct yourself quietly," was his Lordship's reproof. Anderson (in emphatic tones): Aspersions are being made, my lord, which are unjust, and I claim the privilege of protecting myself. I Am Losing More than Some of I Them! Mr. Justice Jelf: unfortunately, l am obliged to tell you that the aspersions are borne out by the facts. Anderson: I repudiate them so far 4t8 I am concerned, and I challenge either of the counsel to substantiate them. I am ready to admit all I have done, and no more. With breaking voice and bowed head, Anderson added: Forgive me, my lord. I a.m losing more than some of them." The painful episode thus closing. Another of the barristers engaged on the side of the defence asked that Baird and Riches should be treated under the First Offenders Act. His Lordship: Quite impossible. At 6.10 his Lordship began the passing of the sentences, prefacing each with some observations which the learned judge regarded as applicable to the individual case. Addressing Crump first, Mr. Justice Jelf described the grossly unjust acts of which he had been guilty as of a nature to produce much misery and to bring a festering sore into the body politic. In directing the maxi- mum punishment, he declared Crump incapable for ever of holding any public office, and incapable of voting at any election for a period of seven years. Such offences (added his lordship), if allowed to go on unchecked, would ultimately destroy tL-l country itself. In sentencing Lewis George Hill, the Judge described him as one of the ring- leaders, of whom Crump was chief, in a system of chicanery and fraud. He made a similar order as to disqualiifcations. In pronouncing the remaining sentences his Lordship dwelt on such palliating cir- cumstances as enabled him to order shorter terms, and directed civic disqualifications in these cases also.

Y,1,000 BILL OF EXOHANGEI Shipowner Accused of Forgery I At Liverpool to-day Richard Rowland Phillips, aged 36, described ae a shipowner, was charged with having forged and uttered a bin of exchange for EI,OOO, with intent to defraud a Liverpool financial company. Detective-sergeant Matthews deposed that he arrested the prisoner in Manchester yes- terday. A remand for eight days was granted, bail being refused.

DOLL AS A THIRD "WIFE" The universal superstition that it is un- lucky for a girl to marry a man wfho has been married twice before led to a curious ceremony at Badaon, in the United Pro- vinces, India. A merchant who wished to marry for the third time was persuaded by the parents of the bride-elect to first go through tihe ceremony of marrying a doll, which he carried in his arms. The doll, which was regarded as his third "wife," was then buried with great pomp, after which the real marriage ceremony took place.

A SILLY JACK ASHORE I A sailor, named John M'Pherson, -who gave an address at 39, Travers-street, Barry, was a, very silly Jack ashore at Newport, as his case before the Uskside magistrates showed to-da.y. Paid-off at Barry with E4, he drank that, as well as the money he got by pawning his clothes. In his cups he went into the house of Mrs. Charlotte Starr, in Bolt-street, on Fri- day afternoon a.nd grossly insulted her. When Mrs. Starr indignanftly ordered him out he asked, "And is this the way you treat foreigners? "—Fined ZlB., or a month.

ROBBED HIS BHOTHER-IN-LAW A young ironworker, named Arthur His- oooks, who has now no permanent address, was at Newport to-day remanded on a charge of stealing two gold rings and a g-old dhain, the property of his brother-in-law, Isaac lies, of 24, Dudley-street. When Detective-sergeant Tanner arrested him he said if he had been given time he would have got them out of pawn. The oMain was pledged in Bristol in the the name of Baker and the rings at Newport.

"He Has Ruined Me." I COLLIER AND SHOP ASSISTANT A middle-aged oollier, named Arthur Rogers, of Risca, was summoned at New- port to-day for using threats towards a young man named John Williams, a draper's assistant. Mr. Lyndon Cooper, who appeared in sup- port of the summons, said his client asked that the defendant should be bound under sureties to keep the peace. Defendant became very excited, struck the front of the dock violently with his fist, and shouted, "He has ruined my wife; he has ruined me and my home, and I'll have jus- tice." The Bench asked him to be quiet, and when he had calmed down he said he only received the summons at 6.30 on Friday night and wanted an adjournment, as he had no witnesses present. The Bench consented to an adjournment for a week on the defendant giving an un- dertaking not to molest complainant in the meantime.

I Trams Run Wild. I ABERTILLERY FITTER'S DEATH Mr. J. B. Walford. coroner, conducted an inquest at Abertillery to-day touching the death of Samuel Henry Fear, fitter, who was killed ait the Arrael Griffin Colliery, Six Bells. Deceased and another fitter were enga-ged in repairing a boiler, when one of three runaway empty "dandies" crushed into him, fracturing his skull and causing instant death. The trams ran wild owing to a labourer named Farmer erroneously think- ing that the rope which let them down the inolin was attached on that occasion, and had pushed the trains to the edge of the incline, when they at OIIlce ran wild. A verdict of Death by misadventure was returned, and Farmer was severely censured.

Crossed Each Other. CARDIFF NON-COM. RUN DOWN BY MOTOR sergeant Bingle, of the Cardiff Barracks. was badly injured last nig-ht in a motor acoi- cnt at Maindy at about 9.-o He was walking down the Mertliyr road in the direc- tion of Cardiff, and had just passed the -Ua.mdy Hotel, when a motor-oar coming in the opposite direction knocked him down.' It appears the sergeant was on the road, and to get out of the way of the car made for the le.ft side of the road. The driver of the car drove in the same direction, with the object of avoiding a collision, but with the result mention.ed. The sergeant was raken to the surgery of Dr. Preston, Whit- cimroh-road, who called inil)w. M'Gregor for consultation. liater he was removed to the barracks.

MATCHES IN THE MINE Young Collier's Carelessness. I Phillip Williams, jun., collier, of Penclawdd, was charged at Swansea to-day with having two matches iin his possession at Clyne Valley Colliery on April 4. Mr. Davies (of Messrs. T. W. Jaanes and Co.) prosecuted, and Mr. Henrry Thompson defended. Alexander Flemming, manager of the col- liery, stated that only safety lamps were used in the colliery. Xakad lights were dangerous. Cross-examined, witness stated that during the two years that defendant had been employed at the colliery he had been a care- ful man, and there had been no complaint against him before. In answer to further questions, witness said there was a certain aspect of inadver- tence about the offence, though it was a curious thins to do. Henry Davies, under-manager, said thait when the matches were found on the defen- dant he was quite surprised. Defendant, who is only eighteen years of age, said he did not know he had matches in his pocket. He had given up two cigarettes and a, "fag" at the bank. He was fined 20s. and ooats. Thomas Williams, repairer at Clyne Valley Colliery, was fined C2 for having two matches upon him whilst at work in the colliery, and was ordered to pay costs for having three pipes in his possession on April 4.

PENNY-IN-SLOT CHEATED A Dear Bit of Chocolate I The automatic permy-in-the-slot sweet machines at Bassaleg and Rogeretone Stations have of late been victimised by the use of metal discs instead of pennies. Mr. Carey, of Bristol, the inspector Of the Automatic Sweetmeat Company (Limited), told the county justices at Newport to-day that this year 300 of such discs, which had apparently oome from Nettlefold's Works at Rogers tone, had been placed in the machines at these stations. The victim who had been captured and brought before the court was a boy named John Richards, aged thirteen, who was deteoted by Mr. Harry Davies, the station- maeter at Rogerstone. He put in a disc and had a pennyworth of chocolate. The boy pleaded guilty, and his father was ordered by the magistrates to take him out- side the court and chastise him. When the boy was brought back into court in a dejected condition from the punishment, the bench allowed him to be discharged on pay- ment of the costs. But, as the costs amounted to £ 1, one of the justices observed, as the money was being paid by his father, It was a dear pennyworth of chocolate, you see.

A PAUPER'S LITTLE CHILD I From West Somerset comes news of an I alleged burial scandal. An unbaptised infant had died in Williton Workhouse, and on the master communicating with the Rev. C. D. E. Ma let, vicar of Sfcogursey, where it was desired the child should be interred, he at first refused to bury it. Reporting the matter to the board of guardians, the master said when he gave notice of burial the vicar asked whether the infant had been validly baptised. He replied in the negative, stating that the child had only lived six hours, and the vicar thereupon refused to perform the burial service. The master then telegraphed to the Aroh- deacon of Taunton, and the same day he received a telegram from the vicar, stating that he would take the funeral any time before four p.m. that day. This left only two hours to make the arrangements to get the body to Stogursey, a distance of nine miles. The body reached the churchyard at 4.5 p.m., and the persons in charge were told that tho vicar had gone away, and that the funeral could uot take place until six p.m. Eventually the child was buried just before teven p.m. The guardians expressed great indignation at the vicar's action, and a motion of censure was proposed and seconded but it was eventually decided to forward all the correspondence to the bishop of the diooeee.

I RUSSIAN HORROR. I TROOPS LOSE THEIR HEADS Wholesale Butchery. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Berlin Lokalanzeiger" telegraphs further details of the attack made by thirty armed robbers on a Government gold convoy at Lodz. They shot the Cossacks who were escort- ing the gold and then seized a large quan- tity of the specie. An alarm was given, and further troopa were hastily summoned to the Spot. The robbers, however, had in the meantime escaped. Instead of pursuing them, the troops, for some unaccountable reason, opened fire upon the crowd of innocent spectators who had gathered in the street, attracted by the sound of the firing, and no fewer than seven persons were killed at the first volley. The troops then stormed the adjacent factory because a number of workmen there had shouted uncomplimentary remarks at the boha,viour of the soldiers. A desperate fight ensued within the factory walls in the course of which 30 workmen were killed. Having finished their bloody work inside the factory, the troops, who by this time had completely lost their heads, resumed the butchery in the streets. They shot and hacked indiscriminately, and no fewer than 52 persons were killed, and a. good many more wounded. The robbers got clear away with their booty.

"Preyed on Her Mind." MOTHER AND BABY IN MILL STREAM Ellen Radbone, wife of David Radbone, Bridgend, was charged at Bridgend to-day with attempting to commit suicide. Amelia Vaughan stated that on Monday evening she saw the defendant carrying her baby along Brewery-road. As she passed she heard her say something about putting an end to herself and her child, and she followed her. The defendant got through some railings by the mill stream and walked into the water. She was about to throw the child into the stream, when witness caught it by the legs and got it away. She handed the baby to another woman, who had come up. The defendant then flung herself into the water, and witness managed to pull her out. The Defendant: I did not intend to do it. My foot shipped. To Polioe-constable Poison she said she did not know why she tried to take her life. Inspector Evans said on Sunday the defen- dant made a complaint to him that a woman of unsound mind had gone to her house and threatened to destroy herself. This woman was afterwards taken to the workhouse. After her arrest the defendant said the inci- dent had preyed upon her mind. The defendant was bound over and dis- charged.

l A DISCLAIMER. Mr. Stanley Greene, of 30, Diamond-street, I Cardiff, wishes to state that he has not been summoned for ill-treating his wife.

£ 100,000 INVOLVED A Solicitor's Disappearance. The "Danly Telegraph" says: -Circunistan. tial rumoars have 'been current during the last few days concerning the disappearance of one of the partners of a well-known firm of City solicitors. There seems, little doubt the rumours are well founded, and that the Stock Exchange, if not any private clients of the firm, will suffer substantially. There is reason to believe SUUJJi involved will be under £ 100,000. It wMcommonly reported that Lord Cromer had been seriously hit in con- nection with the matter, but we have the best authority for stating there is no truth whatever in the reports, as his lordship's securities are in the safe keeping of Messrs. Baring. It may also be as well to state that the firm in question, although they used to act. for the family, are not the solicitors of Messrs. Baring Brothers.

GENERAL KUOKI AND PEACE The Profession Have the Misfortune to Follow," General Kuroki was entertained at a grand banquet at New York last night, and in the course of the proceedings the following mes- sage to the American people prepared by him was read to the company at his request. In this the famous general said:- The Japanese love peace. They fought for peace. My nation wants peace in which to develop her opportunities. We have no other 4esire. The profession which I have the misfortune to follow is noble only because sometimes it is necessary by war to establish, conditions by which peace may be maintained and lfourish.

NEW FISHGUARD J.P. Official intimation has reached Fishguard that Mr. T. G. Bennett, Fonta.ne House, Fishguard, has been appointed as a justice of the peaoe for the county. Mr. Bennett is a staunch Churchman, and his generosity is known throughout the county, in which he has filled several public positions. The selection is all the more popular owing to the dearth of magistrates in the town of Fishguard. Mr.* Bennett is the only one residing in the town among those recently elevated to the Bench in the northern part of the county.

GOT HIS HAIR OFF. A farm labourer, named Bertram Smith, was at Newport to-day sent to prison for a month for smashing ten panes of glass in the windows of the Barn Farm, Llanwern, on Monday, May 13. He had been refused a drink of cider at 5.40 a.m. before beginning work, and then, according to his own version, he wont away, got some drinks of beer, came back, asked for cider or the money owing to him, and, because the people jeered at him, he got his hair off and put the windows in. As he left the dock he threatened Mr. Wil- liams, the farmer, that he would go back and see him when he came out of prison.

LOST AND FOUND. Albert Edwaird Richards (alias George Sin- clair) was charged at Bridgend to-day with stealing a horse and cart, the property of Messrs. Morgan Bros., marine store dealers, Bridgend. It was stated in evidence that the defen- dan t went to collect ra,gs and bones for Messrs. Morgan Bros, and met with an acoÏ- dent near the asylurff. He afterwards drove th-e horse to Cowbridge, where, it was alleged, he sold it to a. man named Robert Clegg Thomas for El. The horse was recovered by Inspector Evans. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was committed for trial at the quarter sessions.

"CANNOT HELP LIVING" A pitiful case was heard at Preston yester- day, when James Edward Cronan, a soldiier from South Africa, was summoned by his old mother for assault.
