STRENUOUS VACATION JUDGE Fresh and bronzed after a little yachting round the Devonshire ooost on the Trinity Master's boat, Sir Samuel Evans, the vaca- tion judge for August, epent a sweltering hot time in the liord Chief Justice's court yesterday disposing of urgent motions in Chancery. Usually, vacation court business is a matter of an hour or two-va-cation judges have no liking for a duty which keeps them in touch with town during the holidays and brings them into town two days a week -the one for Chamber business and the other for motions in court. But there is not going to be this quiok dispatch while Sir Samuel Evans is on duty. Yesterday he spent half an hour listening to the pros a.nd oons. of a.n appiicaition in respect of costs, which. as as a matter of fact, have not yet been taxed; an hour and a half over a. motion to restrain the building of some property, and at (four o'clock another long, dreary discussion was proceeding, with five oases remaining to be disposed of. Sir Samuel, however, was pre- pared to sit late to finish, as he was spend- ing the night in town. Except on these occasions of sitting in oonrt, his lordship will be in daily iconsultation with Dr." Brighton, and it will be down at the popular seaside resort that urgent matters will haTe 1 to be taken before him.

Riot and Bloodshed 7,000 POOR PEOPLE SACK A TOWN Terrible scenes of riot and bloodshed have occurred at Bari, on the Adriatic coast, fol- lowing a general strike among all classes of workers (wires the Madrid correspondent of the "Daily Chronicle") The strike is the direct result, of a con- siderable increase in the price of corn and in house-rents. and as yesterday corresponded to the English quarter-doy, when rents were due and should have been paid, the towns- people rose in masses. Thousands of the poorer people, unable to meet what they regard as the fresh extortions of the landlords, had had notice to leave their dwellings within 24 hours or to suffer eviction. With this possibility hanging over them. I and driven to desperation by hnnger, an | angry mob, 7,000 strong, marched through j the streets and practically forced every busi- j nees, private and municipal, to come to a, standstill. Tram cars that continued to run were wrecked and the conductors and drivers roughly handled, and shops whose owners j refnsed to close them were .plunderoo and in some caaes L)urne,(I. j Police and soldiers who' had taken up POsiti-olis in public and other buildings were driven out, and the buildings were set on j fire. The property of unpopular landlords was visited with special severity; many houses being broken up and burned. There was constant iiriug in the streets between the mob and landlords, and five people were shot d&ad. Thirty soldiers and about fifty civilians were taken to hospitals, j many of them being dangerously wounded, j The fury of the people ha& by no means exhausted itself, and the authorities are anticipating further trouble. ■ w „

Rowley's wife had left him, and a little girl passing his house saw him twice strike his two-year-old son in the face and then drag him by the arm to the door, with which the child's head was brought into violent contact.

IDENTIFICATION OF CORPSEg I I As a means of preserving unidentified bodies I with a view to their ultimate identification, the London Corporation have adopted at the City Mortuary the system invented by Dr. G. de Rechter, vhich has been in use for some time by the municipality in Brussels, and in which the action (if formalin is utilised. It consists of an airtight case com- municating with a smaller chamber, in which formalin vapour is generated. The body is placed in the larger compartment, through which the vapour of formic aldehyde is con- tinuously circulated by means of an electric fan. The oorpse within can be readily viewed through glass windows provided for the pur- pose. The new system, it is stated, has proved a great success in London.

He, however, next saw him with the car in the street, when he was arrested. Lady Samuel- son said she did not know Allen. He \VJi6 found g-uilty. hut insane—on the medical evidence-and ordered to be detained. I

TEN MINUTES' STRUGGLE 1 "Altogether he gave me three kicks, one on the head, and I was struggling on tbQ ground with him for ten minutes. It took ifour of us to get him to the police-station."

HIGHER COAL OUTPUT I There was a.n increase of 2,245,517 tons in the coal output of the United Kingdom last year according to the return issued yester- day, making the total 263,774,312 tons.

Most of the districts last year ahow better outputs, except too Midland, Stafford, and Swansea ones The decrease in the output of metal ores and of men employed therein continues. The death-rate among mrnerp was very slightly higher last year. I

I Scots Keen on Flying -—— I TO-DAY'S COMPETITIONS ¡ The fifth day of the Scottish international aviation meeting at Lanark opened to-day I fine and bright. The wind. however, wa.s stronger than it had bean all the week. Officially its velocity had been given at from ,I- d bee-,i cLt fro--ii 17 to 24 miles an hour, but the occasional u,'>ts were of much, greater .strength, read- ing at times 35 milas per hour. The pros- pects of flying were far front good and the vind would have to moderate considerably the aviators would venture out. The Scottish enthusiasm for aviation, which had been most pronounced during the week, I received a further stimulus by the offer of j Messrs. Pettigrew and Stephens, of Glasgow. of a prize of i.260 for the lirit aviato-r who j Hueceeded in making a flight from the j aerodrome across country to Glasgow round I the university and back to Lanark without touching the ground.

He entered for i the dispatch-carrying competition, in which the competitors were to carry a, weight ropre- senting a, dispatch, and endeavouring to drop { it on a white target twelve yards in diameter, which was placed on the ground immediately j opposite the shilling enclosure. His perform- ance was a sensational one, and lasted but a few minutes. A nasty wind wa-s blowing across the course at the rate of over 24 miles an hour when he set out on his Antoinette monoplane, which was engined with a 68-h.p. E.K.V. engine. It was a peciilis,r-looking machine, the only one of its sort entered at the meeting. but it had a good Continental tli, nicetiiig. bi7Lt it .had a Cczitinie,ztal KnU-pr h;M? j :?. com??ted the ,tn;jght. j when gusts of wind struck him broa?-ide. j throwing tho machire over and ?ma?hrn! *h? propeller and front par; of the aeroplane Kuller stuck to his scat, and alighted nnhurt; when the machine bacaroe stationary.

I Wondetf Escape —— 0. ——. LEAP FROM BLAZINQ BALLOON A desperate leap for life was made at Augsburg yesterday evening by an aeronaut who ascended from near Lechhausen in a fire-ba-l'oon without a car (wires the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Express "). The wind blew the balloon rapidly towards Augsburg, and then, suddenly, dense clouds of smoke and fianie6 were seen issuing from tha envelope. The balloon began to fall rapidly, and the aeronaut, realising his imminent peril, took his life in his hands and leaped, to the horror of the thousands of .spectators who were watching from below. The houses stood think beneath him, and he fell on the roof of an English girls' i sohool and crashed through it. He escaped injury miraculously, and crawled down- stairs. i After sailing over the town for a while the balloon was demolished by the flames.

CHILD TO BE RETURNED I Matilda liicliards, a married woman, of Ponthir, appeared at Caerleon to-day in answer to an adjourned summons, issued against her by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for assault- ing and ill-treating her son, Percy, aged nine years, at Ponthir. Mr. Lyndon Cooper, New- port, appeared for the prosecution, and reminded the bench that the charges of cruelty had been proved at a previous court, and that an order for the child to be taken away from its mother was granted. Since the cessation of the defendant's active cruelty by beating the child he had materially improved in health, and the society thought that after being taught a lesson by this prosecution the defendant might once more be allowed to have the custody of the child. The Bench ordered the child to be returned to defendant, who was also ordered to pay the court fees. !——

When asked if he had any fctatement to make to-day, the accused said, "I desire *o call witnesses." George Francis Stoodley, a surgical' boot- maker, of 3-3. Victoria-road, Iledfields, was then called. He said his house was next door to the hoitfe formerly occupied by the deceased man. He had known the Brittons as neigh- bours for a couple of years. He was in bed on the night of the tragedy, when he was aroused by knocking at the Brittons' door ju,t after twelve o'clook. He heard Mrs. Britton say. "You old pig. What did you look me out for?" Britton replied, I ain't going to have you coming in here this time of night." Witness heard a row after this, a.nd hoard Britton say. he sl, -t stop here TO-nighfe."

) III" Action Misconceived I PONTNEWYDD BUfLDING CASE I In Xewjxirt County-oourt to-day his Honour •fudge Hill Kelly had before him the un-usual ease of Williams v. Morgan, in which the defendant, Thomas Morgan, stated to be a collier, was called upon to pay .£51 .as deposit under a contract of sale of houses at Pont- newydd. Mr. Albert Parsons (instructed by M r. Theodore Koberts) appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. James Williams, of Newport; Mr. Lincoln lleed (instructed by Mr. R. Hill- Male) was for defendant. Air. Parsonf5 sail the plaintiff last year built seventeen houses at Pontnewydd. at zEI56 Per house, and mortgaged them to the extent ) of £121) per house, leaving about iZ5 as the equity of redemption per house. The ground Tent was 3Cs. per house. Early this year he wantoo to raise money, and put an advertise- ment in the Evening Expresgin there tenns:- | X-XO cash will purchase a block of four- teen newly-erected houses; well let; will pay 12 per cent. In Teply to that the plaintiff received a letter on March 29 from the defendant, who went to ¡lee the houses, and agreed to buy and tr: i«uy S-1 down and £ 50 further deposit to bind the bargain. Neither of those sums I Were pa i (i. It was true, Mr. Parsons said, ¡ that the advertisement made no mention of I the fact that all that was intended be scld *as the equity of redemption, but that, he I said, would yield the 12 per cent. The defon- i dan,t, though a eollnr, a-ud said to be a very illiterate man, must have known that he was not buying the whole of fourteen houses for -EWO. That would have represented a return oIF 60 to 70 per cent. Hih Honour; It was a, very stupid and I'-njustiflaible thing for a business man to say in a.n advertisement. I.incc-in Keed: It was done to catch this class of man (referring to the defen- dant). Mr. Lincoln Reed h-aving raised a ooint as to the form in whioh the action had been brought, His Honour said he thought the a,ction was misconceived, and non-suited the plaintiff, the cle,"endcbnt to have all piropei- oosts.

130 Human Remains CAERWENT ROMAN EXPLORATIONS The remains of no leas than 130 human bodies have now been discovered in the explo- rations of the Roman city site at Caerwent. The bodies were generally in rows from east to west. It is suggested that they are Roman as they are above oow-o of the Roman masonry. There is no record showing how so many bodies oonld have been located there, but there was a very early monastery at Caer- went, of which no remains hzvve come to light. It is probable, however, that there was a burial-place connected therewith.

RECALLED ROMANCE The Paris Journal" states that Count Bona de Castellane is reported to be engaged to the daughter of one of the beat known of American financiers, whom he met at Ver- eailles. The announcement recalls a ronianoo which attracted the attention of two continents, and the sene&iiona-l divorce suit of the count and his then wife-Madame Anna Gould, the American heireas, who inherited three millions under her father's will—was keenly followed in 1906. In the decision against the count Madame Gould was given the custody of the two children, but forbiddien to take them out of Prance witltout the permission of their father or the oourt. During the hearing astonishing stories were given of the count's adventures, and it wa.3 statetd that the count's extravagance was eitch that the annual expenditure of the household exceeded £ 227,000. All th-L, witli the exception of £16,00() annually, was Bpent by the count."

Who, looking at this venerable old lady, would think of imagining that she and Charles Dtickens had once been sweetheart*. Yet it is perfectly true. As a little girl ahe lived with her parentis in Johnscm-street, ClareiwknHsquaire. On the opposite aide dwelt the Dickens family, and between the future novelist and Utlie Miss Milton, as she was then called, there grew uo a great friendship, which lasted many years, and which might have been cemented by marriage bad the fates so willed. Certainly they were sweethearts, and as such gained the approval of Miss Milton's brother Torn, who went- to school wi&i Dickons, aAMi who showed his appreciation of bis junior by overhauling- his first literary endeavours.

Blowing the Nose I A ViCAR'S NEW DEVISE j If people would only learn how to use a handkerohief <x>rrect-ly a grreat deal of serious illness would be prevented." Ihat is one of the theories of the Rev. Allen Es.rra.tt, vicar of Claygate, Surrey, who has made a lifelong «tudy of the effects of improper breathing and oome to many interesting conclusions. Ho attributes a great- deal of illne^ to the method of blow- ing the nose a,(looted by civilisation, and he has invented a, little instrument whioh can be attached to the nose and made to counter- act the effect of centuries of ill-treatment. &o long," he said yesterday to a press ■^preventative, as there was no such thing as a handkerchief, and taeu blew their noees in the simple manner still adopted by some of the poorer classes, there was no obstacle to oorrect breathing, but direotly the use of the handkerchief started it was inevitable that ouooeeding generations should be put at a very serious disadvantage. From being constantly pinched the nostrils or wings of our noses have become narrower and nar- rower, with the result that the breathing through the passage in the nose has become more and more difficult. The extremity of the nose ehouid, of oourse, never be nipped, but it nearly always is. If handkerchiefs must be used—unfortunately, the simple method is not lit for polite society —it should always 00 remembered tliet the nose must be held only in the middle, and never at the nostrils. Women consider narrow nostrils a mark of beauty- That may be so, but they are also the cause of ill different health and low vitality. Tarking his little instrument, Mr. Barratt attached it to his nose sO that the nostrils were slightly distended. There," he said, you see, I can breathe far more easily now. I have corrected the effect of civilisation, and am inhaling are right amount of oxygen without difficulty. I baio. asked several eraok athletes to test my instrument, and they all say that it helps them considerably. I I noke that rnoet aviators fly with their mouth open, because the great rush of air makes it difficult for them to breathe through their nose. There is nothing more harmful or tiring than breathing through the month, and I thjnk they might do well to wear my i.7><ct.rument and so be iiblc to breathe through the nose without difficulty."

Good News for Barry 150 ACRES FOR STEELWORKS Capital of Nearly Two Millions J A few days ago we were enabled to announce the fact, that two enterprising sehemes were on foot for the establishment of new industrial concerns at Barry. We are now in a position to state that the principal of the two schemes is the establishment ofsteei and iron works on land about 100 acres in extent, belonging to lnrd Ashby St. Ledger (formerly the Hon. Ivor Guest), at Sully, within convenient proximity to the Barry -No. 2 Dock. This concern will have a capital of one and a half million sterling, and will probably employ about 500 men. The chief promoters of the Barry Steel and IroOn Company are Loudon gentlemen, the chairman being Mr. Mills, of the firm of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co.. the well-known London bankers, and the secretary is Mr. Drundrett. It was in connection with tliis company that an application was considered by the Cardiff Waterworks Committee last Monday for a supply of 100.000 gallons of water per day for the proposed works at Sully, but, inaemuch a* this portion of the Parish 11 Sully is within the Barry Council area, con- sideration of the application, was deferred. The promoters of tbe other concern have taken thirty acres of land in the same locality, with the option of a further twenty acres. The-se works will be for the manufac- ture of steel rails, and the company will ha-ve a. capital of, half a million sterling.

"Gamblein Human Life" Two cases against the Bristol and West of England Royal AnrtideduviaJL Order of Buffaloes Insuman-oe Society were heard at t X'owpcrt County-court to-day. In the firt. William Henry Andrews, licensee of the Moulders' Arms, Newport, sued for the return of £ 2, which he bad paid to the superintendent, J. Wall, as a deposit for the insurance of the life of a M.r. Leonard. Mr. John Moxon, who appeared for the plaintiff, sahid lie was totLd that the super. iuiteuident had bolted, and left the country, witfiiout accounting to the society at Bristol. The society was not legally represented but the secretary attended from Bristol, and said the soedeti, had not received the deposit frofl ?\aU. the superintendent at Newport, I and had not issued a policy. In fact, they knew nothing about it, and, he contended, this was a gamble in human life, because the plaintiff had no interest in the life of Mr. Leonard. His Honour. But you have not pleaded the statute which maieag it illegal. M.r. Moxon: We have full assurable I interest. His Honour lto the secretary): I think yon have been very ill-advised in defending this action at alL Judgment against, the society for £ 2. In the second case, that of Annie Harris v. the society, a claim for £6 56. was made, under a. policy issued by the company. It was stated that the assured person died on June 25--five months and two days after the assurance was effected. The medical certificate stated that the duration of illness vox five months. The seoretajry of the society said the man must have been ill when he signed the deoLanai-ion that he waa in a good state of heaith- Ilis Honour remarked that there was no evidence of that. This is no t the wa.y for a I friendly society or a.n individual to threat its Ka???e<'?." he observed, and I am mt a.t all favourably im':P'ed with the two oases I have heard. I give judgment for the amount claimed."

"CUT GRASS AND MADE HAY" I His Honour Judge Hill Kelly was asked at Newport Counity-court to-day by Mr. Dyndon Moore, in the. eaf?e of Fry v. Tovey, to grant an injurketkwi against Mr. and Mrs. James Tovey, of Farm wood, from trespassing on certain fields at Christ-elm rob. Mr. Albert I'arsotui (instructed by Mr. Fra.nk Lowie) appeared for the defendants to resist the injunction. The male defendajit, James Tovey (who up to recently was a guardian of the Newport Union), who was originally the tenajit of the fields from tbe vicar of Obristohurch bad, Mr. Moore exp lasned, become a ba-nkrupt, a.nd in July the trustee sent a d-eclaimer to the vicar, who thereupon let the land to Mr. Pry. A few days afterwards, however, Mr. andi 34x8. Tovey and a number of other, persons entered upon the land, cut the grass, made, hay. and (Ld other acts of tresjwjse, under a oWm that the land had been sub-let by Mr. jaames Tovey to his -An. Mr. Wilfrid Tovey, I who was now atroatd, and for whom Mys Tovey, his mother, was aoting as agent. Mr. Mjouto oontend-ed that the claim of sub, tenancy was extremely suspicious, the intten-tion being to defeat the rights of the landlord and interfere with the aotion of aiiyone the vioar may put in. Mr. Parsons submitted that the subtenancy to Mr Tovey's son was valid, and under it Mrs. Tovey and those assisting her were within their rights in removing the chains and locks which Mr. Fry had placed on the gates. g.a; Honour said, without pr?jodg?n? the merits of the case, he granted an interim injunction

PLANT'S CONDITION TO-DAY I At 11.0 sum. the following: bulletin waB I issued: —"Pia.nt has parsed a tsatisfaclory night., and although still unoonecaotts, shows positive signs of improvement.—(Signed) A. Boyoe Barrow, and Edgar Ifathews." Judging by the criticisms which have appeared in reference to the accident to Plant. there seems to be considerable mis- apprehension regarding what occurred. Sub- sequently to the fall of Bkickstone, an ambu- lanoe, in charge of police office re experienced in ambulance work. was located less tha.n 300 I yards from the spot, and were on hand imme- I diately, and a medical man arrived 'within I ten or eleven minutee. The accident hap- pened three-quartere of a mile from the pad- dock. Plant could not be moved before a ¡ medical examination had been made, and Dr. Burrows, the specialist in such matters, I' states that toe method adopted in returning the sufferer to the epiendidly-appointed I hospital room in the paddock was infinitely preferable to that of a horeed am bo ] aiK*j. Plant wae; conveyed direct to his present I quarters, and not to Mr. Hyde-s house, as stated, on the first ambulance, and not by means of the machine whkh was despatched from the paddock. Everything possible was done to expedite matters, and both the medical men and the police officers are deserving of praise for the prompt and efficient manner in which tbf case was handled. Plant's Record I The deplorable aooaent to Plant yesterday 11 followed a mumber of victories at Brighton and L<ew?s last w<?k, which sted that Plant ha? struck & vein of real good luck. He won the three principal hamdiC&P6 at tbwo meetwgs, in adwtlon to the Brighton Cup on Lord Bosebery's ?\?mus. Among hie ¡ back-ccd triumphs last year was the =hir. witch on Submit, and he started the present year by winning the Lincolnshire Handicap on OmdereHo Plant's diminutivenese ie responsible (sayc, the "Daily Mail' ) for a wealth of anecdotes.

I BLOWN TO PIECES I Artillery Sergeant Killed I EXPLOSION AT A FORT I  I Injuries to 3 Others I During last night an accident occurred at one of the fol-te, at Spit- lioad, resulting in a sergeant of the artillery being blown to pieces by an explosion of powder. Three other men were injured. The man killed was Sergeant Attrill. of the Royal Garrison Artillery. The explosion is believed to have occurred while a mounting test was taking place, but details are lacking. Another telegram saysWhile an ammunition test was being conducted in one of the sea forts at Spithead early to-day an explosion occurred, resulting in the death of Sergeant Attrell, Royal j Garrison Artillery, and more or less ) serious injuries to three other men. Sergeant Attrell's injuries were of a terrible nature. Details are not avail- able until the men are brought ashore, the fort being quite isolated. Later information shows that the Spithead a/xadent occurred daring firing- exercises. A gun missed fire, and whilst being examined "iiie thaige blew oat through the breech, tiergea-nt AttTell was killed on the spot, and Gunner Collins was removed to the Ports- mouth Military Hospital suffering: consider- ably from burns and shock. Another man I escaped with only slight injuries.
