I "TIN CAN" MUSIC —— Women and an Official i NOISY PENYGRAIG SCENE I j INSPECTOR STRUCK BY A STONE Bitterly cold weather and falling snow in the Miri-Khondna 11 st night did not interfere "ith the entliusia-sm of the pickets. The biggest crowd collected in the vicinity of fhe I.a,va.1 Colliery, where 5Lr. Frank Llewelyn. brother of Mr, Leonard Llewelyn, is amongst thl-z,,3 at work.

Three or four pickets, how- ever. ou fjeing appealed to by the police, "lercisefl their iinluence on the angry crow i. A small posse or police escorted Mr. Lle- \feJ:vn back to the colliery in the afternoon but such a large crowd awaited his depar- ture at night that he decided to sleep at tiie C-Dllie Two stokers have resumed work. and in 'tiw of a rumour hn.t an attempt would be Inade to get at ihem last night the police );ere considerably augmented. One of the Jokers is said to have expressed a desire to eXplain his position to a committeeman. but no one was found willing to go down to the eneinc-house. [ AMATEUR PAINTERS Several cases re reported of attacks  ofScials. and strikers have visited the oaloiats' homes &nd treapa?sed on the I>rmi;;os. while a new departure is the paint- 1n of objectionable words on the doors of the officials. Some of the strikers II. t'e alleged to be prepared to use the most extreme methods in order to get the men from the work, and one official living. at T real aw was struck in the mouth. azul another knocked down and prevented from going to his duties. A eistar cf a stoker at the Glamorgan Colliery was met by the crowd lifter she had T*-en inquiring of her brother, ^uo bad not been home for several days. IInd the young la-dy was chased home and fr-ade the target of disgusting epithete. Some Of the windows of her house were also broken.

A WHITE-COAT. last night the door of an official's Ouse was completely painted white, the perpetrators possibly being desirous of mak- ing it coincide with the surroundings, as a (ieat of snow fell. The pickets this morning were successful in 1)1.zventi.ii,!x a number of officials from going I to the various pits of the combine. It was anticipated by the strikers that an a-tt erupt would to-day be made to relight the l'ire.-) under Lhe boilers at the Ely Pit. and a -e number of pickets went there. They proceeded by a big force of police. Several fresh cases oi window-smashing are reported. ilid-lihondda was more strongly picketed during last night than has probably been the case before, and it was a quaint sight to see fc^oups of men sitting in improvised sheds 'I\.itb fires. IIHYMNEY VALLEY MINERS APPOINT DEPUTATION TO WAIT UPON MR. IIANN. A conference of the various committees of I the Powell Duffryn workmen in the Rhymney alley was held at New Tredegar on Thurs- day night, Mr. Mark Old in the chair, Delegates from Aberdaro gave addresses, and conference was deeply concerned ahollt I, the welfare of their friends in the Aberdare galley It was resolved that Mr. Walter J"ewis. the Rhynmey Valley agent, and Mr. A. Thomas, the ab-aeent. together with a deputation from the local committees, should ■wait upon Mr. E. M.. Hann, the general managed of the Powell Duffryn Company, to discus: the situation. The oonference felt that, as Mr. Stanton had apologised to Mr. Hanri. the latter should make no demur shout receiving the deputation of which •"tr. Stanton will be a member. CHILD'S KINDLY ACT. There was a human touch abont a letter hieli the chairman of the distress com- Mittee received on Thursday from the -Mayor of Woolwich. His worship enclosed a letter from Miss Esther Langdon. a little "bild aged nine. in which she said she had heard all about the strike, and that as a Result women and children were starving. I he enclosed a oostal order for 93. 6d., statins that she had collected the money from her little friends at school.' ABERDARE "MISSIONARIES" VISIT PONTYPOOL. With the object of furthering the dow-n tools" policy throughout the coalfield, six ,Iberdara visited the inisaionai-les from Aberdaro visited the pastern Valteys district at Pout-ypool on Thursday and interviewed some of the local °fiicials. The delegates were evidently pleased with their reception, and were con- fldent of carrying into effect the programme Ia,id down. Mr. James Winstone, miners' aSent, told our representative that he was 0-ware of the visit, but no consent to the appointment of delegates to an unofficial conference could be given without bia con- 8ent.. The matter would probably be dis- cussed before Monday, but, speaking for hicuielf, he did not think the district was favourable to such a conference as that pro- loosed by the strikers. HEAVY COST UPON THE COUNTY. The questiou as to who is to pay for the damage caused by the strikers at the col- Ieries in the Rhondda and Aberdare Valleys is much discussed, but there seems little doubt that the cost will fan upon the local Authorities, who are responsible for the main- j tenance of law and order, and wW, of oourae, ?ome out of the pockets of the ratepayers. The indemnity paid by the Coalowners'| Association to the owners of the collieries Îllle is, of course, for loss of earnings only, And is compensation to the shareholders for having their businese stopped. It is based On a liberal scale, and in the case of the Cambrian Combine pits is believed to amount to() something like f,1,200 per day, or nearly *■ £ 400,000 a year This is a considerably larger RUm than could be earned by the collieries 11 working in the present condition of the Market. If in consequence of lack of proper protec- tion to those employed at the Britannic Col- ,cries the pit, become flooded out and the knt destroyed, the county may easily be faced with a bill for L160,000 to £ 180.000. INTERVIEW WITH MR. HANNI SIR MARCHANT WILLIAMS'S EFFORTS TOWARDS PEACE. The announcement that Sir Marcbant Williams had taken steps as mediator In connection with the coal crisis gave the utmost satisfaction throughout the I Aberdare Valley on Thursday. Nir Marohant Williams had a long inter- view with Mr. E. M. Harm, a.nd we have raa?on to believe tha.t it was the favour_¡ ?h)e manner in which Mr. Hann received Sir "turcha.nt which induced the latter to make ?P his mind at once to confer with Mi-. t-leufer Thomas. I ,tlk-eci on Thursday whether or not he l "I-)Uld like to say anything regarding the intervention of Sir Marcbant Wit- Ir. Stanton replied that it was l'eally very good of Sir Jarchant to h:wc stepped into the arena, and Lie had *;ptliititj but the highest praise to extend to Marcbant for the very kind way in which had conierred with him and the deputa- IOn on Wednesday night. Mr Stanton further remarked that his Worships mediation WM not likely to oe 'itieA3e. 'At any rate, it is a noble step," ??ded Mr. Stanton 'gniScantly. "on the part ? Sir Marchant in an attempt to restore I »"eace in the coalfield." LODGE OFFICIAL'S DENIAL. I p,An o<B:in' of the Gilfacn Goch Lodge of the I ?deratiort writes in eference to the report .? scenes at Gilfach Goch "No stone-throw-  to?k place, r?ither were t'.?re any large ?'Utdprs rolled down the hiU. &!so the state- ent that the window in the house of II official bae been smashed is quite j vntrue.

I f '? funeral of Samuel ?o?ee. who was ¡ ? ?ta.My injured at Tonypandy on.Tuesday in t ?oek during the di!tnrbanoee there, took I place at Glyntaff Cemetery, Pontypridd, on Wedneeday afternoon, the obsequies being of the simplest character. Deceased worked at the Glamorgan Colliery as a haulier, and lived at 118. Coedpenmaen-road, Pontypridd. Sympathy was shown by the blinds being drawn along the route to the cemetery, and I the large number of wreaths which were sent. I" UNOFFICIAL CONFERENCE." I Council Strongly Against It. Tho following resolution was passed. with Tlie following resolution was passed, with one dissentient:— That it having come to the know-1 ledge of this council that the Aber- dare miners' representatives, together with the C'ambrianloint Committee, are con- vening an unofficial conference for Monday next, this council stiongly urges upon the men. ters of the federation in the coalfield I to dtsreRatd the invitations to end vepre-1 scntatives to such ccnferbnce." I Action of the Police I The following letter which has been received by the secretary (Mr. T. Richards) wa. read to the council and considered:— "Dear Sir.—I am instructed by my com- mitxee to ask yon a.nd the executive council to 0311 a conference of the whole of the South WaÍes coalfield to discuss the present situa- tion, a.nd to frame a policy relating thereto, I and also to receinr,) a report from the affiliated a,reas with reference to the ill-treatment that has been meted out by the police to defence- less men, women. and children. Trusting that our request will receive your most serious consideration and a.pproval.-I am. on behalf of the Cambrian Combine Joint Com- mittee. MARK KAKCOMBE, Sec." The Chairman (Mr. Abraham) and Mr. Watts Morgan requested that consideration of the letter should be deferred until an opportunity was afforded of meeting and discussing the subject with the Cambrian Combine Joint Committee, a course that was agreed to. The Riotine I The attention of the council was called to I the letter which appeared in the press over the names of various clergy an-1 ministers in Tonypandy and Llwyuypia. in which they dealt with the street rioting and shop-looting in Tony- pandy and the committee passed a resolu- tiou that they publicly thanked them and desired to associate themselves with the 8tmtimenta expreBaeJ. MR. STANTON FIRM I Declines To Go Wilh Deputation A meeting of the executive council of the I South Wales Miners' l'ederation was held at Cardiff yesterday afternoon, vlr. W. Abraham, M.P., presiding, and Mr. A. Onions acting as secretary in the absence of Mr. T. Richards. M.P., who is at Whitehaven. Mr. C. B St?nton mde an appeal for financial support for the Powell Dunryn men in the Aberdaro Valley who are now on strike. It was pointed out to flim that if tlii* request was complied with in less than a fortnight an application for an injunction would be ma-de against the executive, with the result that the whole of tte Federation funds would be tied up. and they, therefore, could not pay even those who were locked out and on strike in accordance with the rules. After this the present situation in the Al)er- dare Valley was considered by the council. Several members of the committee expressed I very great regret that the Aberdare men did not see their way clear to accept the unani- mous recommendation of the council, as well :12 that of the joint conciliation board, as a way out cf their immediate trouble. Farther, the executive council offered to eepd a deputation to meet the Aberdare Joint Work- men's Committee with a view of explaining to them, if necessary, the resolution come to, and th«* way in which it would affect their position, providing Mr. Stanton would accom- pany such deputation :Lnd agree with the council to "recommend the terms. Mr. Stanton, however, while being willing for any deputation to meet the Aberdare strike committee, distirtctly stated that he could not associate himself with mombers of the council in such a, deputation. WATER PUMPED FROM GLAMOR- GAN PITS. The imported stokers at the Glamorgan I Collieries, Llwynypia. are still at work, and yesterday it was found unnecessary to keep up the same pressure of steam, so that some fires were damped out, Water had accumulated to a depth of 19ft.. a.nd covered an area extending from Gelli to Trealaw, a distance of about three miles. All this has been pumped out, and all that is now necessary is to prevent farther accumu- lation. During the day Ml". W. N. Atkinson, the chief inspector of minea, and Mr. F. J. Trump, the assistant inspector, visited the Glamorgan Collieries, and bad a lengthy interview with Mr. Leonard W. Llewelyn, the general manager. The magistrates have decided upon issuing another closing order on the licensed houses. It was resolved that every licensed victualler in the two Rhoridda, Valleys and Pontypridd I should uniformly close at eight p.m. to- day a,nd Saturday. I QUESTION OF MEDIATION. Although no stops have officially been taken to endeavour to bridge over the gulf between the owners and the men, nevertheless informal attempts are being uiae. and the committee of the Mid-Bhondda ministers are making arrangements to have an interview with Mr. F. L. Davis (the chairman of the Coal Trade Conciliation Board) to endeavour to induce the latter to act M mediator in the crisis. MR. "D. A." & SETTLEMENT Mr. D. A. Thomas was asked by an Evening Express reporter yesterday if there were no prospects of a settlement being effected, Mr. Thomas replied: "I see none whatever at the moment. We havo had many offers of intervention trom gentlemen of influence, apart from tie Board of Trade, but my co-directors and my- self are not inclined to negotiate while the men are, so to speak, holding a pistol at our beaod s. "It must be quite obvious to ftvery think- ing person that such could not be tolerated for one moment. There must be absolute tranquillity among the men before we can ontertain the idea, I may say that we thoroughly appreciate the motives of the gentlemen who are endeavouring to make peace, and regret that the actions of the men. or. at any rate, a section of them, up to now have afforded no evidence that the offers of intervention have their sanction."
The Lost Cruiser
The Lost Cruiser ——— I NAViQATINC OFFICER'S SENTENCE The court-martial on Lieutenant Albert Edward Dixie, navigating officer of the cruiser Bedford, which was lost with eighteen lives, was resumed at Sheerness on Thursday. Evidence WM ?iven with a. ?ie to proving that prisoner had been guilty of ?rpr?r: ini.9 navigation, in not making allowance for the currents, overlogging, not keeping a strict look-out. and mistakes in dead reckoning. Several witnesses from the Bedford and accompanying ships were called for the prosecution. In his defence Lieutenant Dixie submitted there had been no overlogging. The Bedford appeared to he steaming 22.5 knots. He had the best of reasons for believing the current would probably he nil when passing Eden Island. The distance by dead reckoning gave a thirty miles olearance. He had passed Eden 131and twelve times, and had u?ver expe- rienced such a set of currents. Captain Edward Fftrpatrick and Captain Power, of the Minotaur, also g?va evidence for the defence. After a retirement the court acquitted Lieu- tena.ut Dixie of the charge of stranding the Bedford, but found him guilty of stranding the ship by default- The court adjudged Lieutenant Dixie to be dismissed bis ship, the Pembroke, on which he is now serving, and to be severely repri- manded. The certificates put in showed that I the accused bad an hitherto absolutely clean record. I
Fiancee Murdered -I
Fiancee Murdered I ——— 0 ———— CRIME BY FRE CH O.'FICER PARIS, Thursday. A crime which hae created the greatest sensation in Paris has been committed at 7, Rue de Home, the residence of the Baroness Olivier Banbreoourt. The commissioner of police for the quarter had received a letter from Captain (unattached) Moynier warning him that a murder was to be committed, and adding the writer's intention to commit suicide. It was also stated that the crime would be one of vengeance. The police immediately visited the house, but, were too late to a.rt the tragedy, the dead body of the baroness being found by them. Search was at once instituted for Captain Meynier. who has disappeared from his uanAt haunts.-Central e."6&.
--_-JMR. BALFOUR'S LEAD I
JMR. BALFOUR'S LEAD I Unionist Party's Policy REFORM OF HOUSE OF LORDS Mr. Baiiour at Nottingham last night delivered what was regarded as his greatest speech. He was in good voice, but more impressive than usual, and the dominant, no to of his discourse was one of seriousness. Mr. Balfour defined the policy of the pa rty folloa-s: Land proprietorship in preference to land occupation under county councils or similar bodies. Invalidity insurance on a contributory I A strong Navy, accompanied by a plea that the defence of the Lmpire shall not be regarded as a party ojuestion. With regard to the riidgpt, Unionists will do justice to licence-holders, and will remedy the difficulties which affect the building trade. Tariff Reform is the great constmetivi policy to which the Unionist party is committed, embodying Colonial Prefer- ence. with a view to creating free trade throughout the Empire. A depute pledge that no part of the burden of fiscal reform shall fall upon the v,age-earning classes. A further pledge that if a tax on foreign corn increases the cost of bread the wage- earning classes shall be compensated by a reduction of the taxes on other articles of consumption, so that Tariff Reform shall nut increase the cost of living. A declaration that the House ,'f Commons shall continue to bo the dominant element in the Constitutional co-partner. A schome of reform of the House of Lords on the lines of the resolutions drawn up by the Opposition members of the Veto Conference. Reform of the House of Lords must come before any attempt to adjust the relation- ship of the two Houses is attempted. It is impossible to draft a scheme for joint sittings of the twj Chambers to settle points of difference in ignorance of I the constitution of the 8acoud Ch=rl)l The veto resolutions of the Government i constitute a revolution which many of the Radical party themselves distrust. They are. however, driven onward to revo- lution by the Socialists and the National- ist". and the real dictator is Mr. E-ed nioiid. Unionists will be no party to smashing the Constitution at the bidding of Mr. Redmond's American subscribers. Great Britain will reform her own Con- stitution. making it more in line with modern requirements, but she will do it in her own way, for thus alone can she I retain her seli-respaet and the respect of other nations. Surprise in Mid-Glam. R CiBBINS NOT TO SEE:< RE-ELECTION I A great surprisp has been caused by the intimation of Mr. F. W. Gibbins. the Liberal member for Mid-Glamorgan, who won the constituency at the bye-election in April last after the resignation of Sir S. T. Evans, that ¡ he will not seek re-election. I A meeting of Mid-Glamorgan Liberal and Labour Association will be bold next Thursday at Port Talbot to aeVect a candi- date, and among the prospective candidates mentioned is Mr. J. Hugh Edwards, of London. Mr. J. Boyd Harvey. J.P_ the managing director of North's Navigation, denies the rumour that he is likely to stand in the Conservative interests, "although," he added, "I would heartily support a Conser- vative candidate if one is brought forward." Mr. Vernon Hartshorn in the prospective Labour candidate.
Whitehaven Tragedy___I
Whitehaven Tragedy I MINERS' REJECfElJ PLAN l-OR RESCUE The coroner's and Board of Trade inquiry into the Whitehaven colliery disaster was resumed at Whitehavon on Thursday. John Weaj, oue of the rescued miners, NMd he had no fault to find with the deputiM to whom he had oomplained of gas. He would have returned into the mine after the acci- dent had it been humanly possible. Joseph Kenmore, who also escaped, said sometimes they had to put their safety lamps into cold water because they were so hot with gas. Witness added that on entering a working they tested, and had come oat because of gas, but had never been with- drawn by a deputy. If all the men had come out when bo and Wear did they would all have been saved. The officials might have got to the fire sooner, but when they came to the friction gear it was too late. RESCUE PROPOSAL REJECTED. Thomas Graham, an overman, said his pro- posal to brattice down the back dip was rejected by Mr. Henry, who preferred going to the main road. which practical men know it was impossible to box np. On the arrival of Mr. Atkinson, the inspector, he repeated his proposal, but Mr. Atkinson gave the opinion that no one was then alive bt .ow, and ordered the rescue party up. Witnees, however, still thought No. 5 men were then alive, though he could not be certain. His plan of getting down the south back dip past the fire would have succeeded. Witness was closely cross-examined on the practicability of his plan, and the inquiry was adjourned until to-day.
A 23,000 Scheme
A 23,000 Scheme — ♦ SENEFACTION OF MR, EVMM BEVAN 1 J P .I1 An important event was celebrated at Seven Siaters on Thursday, when Mr. E. Evans Bevan. J.P., handed over the sewerage under- taking, the cost of which he had wholly and personally defrayed, to the Neath Rural Dis- trict Council. When the members reached the prosperous mining village the works were formally handed over to Mr. William Howell. J.P.. in the unavoidable absence of Mr. A. T. Wil- liams J.P., the chairman of the council. After the ceremony a large number of guests assembled at the Seven Sisters Hotel. whore they were entertained to luncheon by Mr. Richard Davic3, one of the local repre- sentatives on the district council. Among those present were Messrs. J. Jones, B. J. Hopkins, H. M. Jones, R. Owen, W. B. Trick, J.P., G. O. Jenkins, D. Proaser. D. Vaoghan. J. 0. lieee, Wm. Davies, A. J. Jeffreya, J. Lawrence, H. Lucas (eierk of the works), J. Evans, J. W. Thompson (contractor). Ogley David. G. Cooke (representing Messrs. Outh. bertaop and Powell, clerks to the counoil). Dr. Whittington (medical officer of health). aDd Dr. D. Ll. Joues. The Chairman the undertaking was one of the most important that had been per- formed since he had been a member of the council. Mr. Bevan had supplied them with li?bt and water, and now he bad added ? another necessity to good health—sanitation. Their benefactor had even ?one further ane!d. and when they were in a. difficulty in regard to a water supply at Jersey Marine he gene- rously came to the rescue and gave them a temporary supply. (Applause.) Mr. Bevan said he hoped the council would use the undertaking properly, for he believed it to be one of the most perfect works of its kind in the country. (Applause.) In the course of other speeches, testimony was given to the excellent way in which the undertaking had been carried out.
NOT A WORKMAN-I
NOT A WORKMAN I The Master of the Rolls and Lords Justices Moulton and Farwell in the Court of Appaa' on Thursday affirmed the judgment of the Bangor Couaty-oourt. who had held that William Hughee. who was the master of the Maggie Brocklebank, and who was drowned during a voyage of the vessel from Swa.nsea in December last year, was not a workman within the meaning of the Work- men's Compensation Act, and that the widow was not entitled to compensation from the owners of the vessel.

IPOLITICAL OUTLOOK
I POLITICAL OUTLOOK PREMIER'S STATEMENT I Rosebery Resolutions Passed I Speculation as to the preciBO nature of the Ministerial statement to be made to both Houses at noon to-day is as facile as it is futile, for while the main outlines are easily to be conjectured, the details are the Cabinet's own. I Interest, however, will not be exhausted wher. Mr. Asquith and Lord Crewe reaper;- j tively .-it down. or e,eii when they have been followed by Mr. Balfour and Lord Ijans- downs. Considerable significance will attaxrh to the quest icnings of Lile latbour party on the Ministry's attitude towards the Oaborne judgment, if that has no': been made sufli-! eiently clear and agreeable to them by the Prime Minister; and there is much gaeiising i as to whether Mr. Redmond will intervene in the debate. The Nationalist le-ader and his most inti- mate colleagues are known to make a jest in conversation of the "American dollars" imputaCTon. which is just now being fi-ceiy used; but, in Tiew of the feeling which mani- festly is being aroused in the country- on the subject, as well as bec-ause of possible allusions to it i,, the discussion, Mr. Red- mond, or one of his leading colleagues, may deem it politic to intervene. Whatever is said, however, the Ministerial organisers anticipate exceedingly little trouble from either the Nationalists or the Labour wetion; and they remain very con- fident that a speedy dissolution is the most effective method for preventing the develop- ment of any dissensions in these directions. LORD ROSEBERY'S RESO- I LUTIONS. The House of Lords yesterday debated and passed Lord Rosebery's Reform resolutions, after a debate in which Lord Lansdowne I admitted that the House was not felt to be in touch with the country, and that dra-stic treatment was necessary if it was to save itself from peril. The second reading of the Veto Bill in the House of Lords was ti-xed for Monday. (While the Lord, ? are debating the Veto, !he Com-¡ mons will take the Budget in committee.) Lord Rosebery's resolutions, passed by the Lords yesterday, wo?d confine membership of the House to three classes—one of ex-officio I members, one of representative or nominated I' peers, and one of members "chosen from out- side. C ming Events I The leading political events of the imme- diate future are:- To-day.Commons re-aesemble and re- ceive Prime Minister's statement of Government plans. To-morrow.—Prime Minister opens Liberal campaign at luncheon of National Liberal Club. Monday.—Mr. Lloyd George at White- chapel. Guarantees to be Given I The news that King George has made no difficulties over the guarantees has pene- trated the Tory camp and spread the utmost consternation (writes Mr. Harold Spender in the "Morning Leader"). Members are declar- ing that they cannot fight again "with the Honste of lords on their backs." Frenzied messages are sent from the Tory Whips to the Lords to put their house in order. The empty seats cannot be filled up, for candi- dates come forward slowly and reluctantly on such an issue. The hope of the Tories is that if a Dis- solution can be post-poned until the spring they will have time to rally. Well, there is one way of achieving that. and one one. That is for the Lords to hand in a complete surrender. It would really be more dignified than the half-surrenders of the last few days. J =====

J Brecon uBarmaid Free
J Brecon u Barmaid Free ACQUITTED OF CA iCE OF CHILD I MURDER Beatrice Elizabeth Moore, a single woman, was plaoed on her triaJ on Thursday at the ulaznorgan Aasispa, Swajisea (before Mr. Justice Porridge), for the murder of her illegitimate infant child. This is the case iu which it was alleged that the body of the murdered infant was thrown from a crowded train on the Midland Railway between Brecon a.nd Swansea. The ease naturally excited a certain amount of interest at both Brecon a.nd Swansea, for, while the prisoner is a native of the former place, she was employed for a time at Swamea as a barmaid. The counssi engaged were ilr. Llewelyn WiHiams, M.P. (instructed by Mr. Kdwarvl Harris, Swansea), lor the prosecution, and Mr. Abel Thomas. K.C.. jr.P.. and Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Mr. Lewis W. H. Jones. Brepon) for the defence. It Nx-as discovered at the opening that a wJ,uc^eas for the prosecution, William Jamea, of owansea, waa not present, and the ques- tion was raised whether an adjournment would have to be taken. It was decided to proceed his Ix>rdship intimating that the witness's recognisances would be estreated if he did not appear during the course of the trial. In opening the c.tse Williams alluded to the gravity of the case and the sacrednees of human life. and the dread duties conferred on the jury, which should be faced with course and firmness. There wero four ver- dicts which might be returned by them. viz., wilful murder, manslaughter, concealment I birth, or acquittal. The facts were that on August 1,3, shortly after five p.m.. a platelayer, near Abercrave Station, on the Midland Railway, saw a parcel thrown from the window of a train passing irom Swansea to Brecon. So far as he could see, it was thrown by a younr, woman. On picking up the parcel he found that it conuined the body of a newly-born female child wrapped in three newspapers.j The guard also saw th? *n parcel thrown, but did not see the person throwing it. The medical man who made the post-mortem j examination came to the conclusion that the child had had a. separate evidence; there were certain wounds found on the hody JI and a wound oil the neck. Prisoner, who belonged to Brecon, had taken a l situation at the Talbot Inn, Swansea, and left there on June 6, when she went to lodpre with a Mrs. Barrow. living in the same street. On Tuesday. August 9, Mrs. Barrow. who was sleeping with the prisoner, was I awakened by her, and found her sitting up in bed ill. She went downstairs and made a cup of tea. Afterwards Mrs. Barrow saw prisoner carrying something concealed under her apron. On the following day the I prisoner showed a newspaper of the same name land date as one which was found round the child's body to a lirs. Madden. ¡ The prisoner left Swansea for Brecon on I August 13, and took her luggage with her. her box being carried to the station by a young man named Joshua Cowen. She left I Swansea by the 4.5 p.m. train, which would reach Abercrave at 4.50. Dr. Thomas E. Bichards, of Abercrave, said the body was that of a newly-born female child. There waa a discolouration on the chest, showing the commencemeut of putre- faction, so that the child must have been born 36 hours, and possibly six days, before. There was a wound low down in the neck about an inch long, running across the neck. Trom the appearance of the wound he concluded it had been inflicted during life. There was a compound fracture of the front of the jaw, and the skull was also fractured. A tooth, apparently from the fractured jaw, was found in the throat, and the "injuries were caused by violence. A clot of blood found in the wound in the neck showed that it exuded after the child had had a separate existence. Mr. Abel Thomas questioned the statement, but witness repeated that the jugular vein was severed by the incision in the neck, l thus I causing the flow of blood. There was also a clot of blood under the wound in the scalp. A ong Pair of cissors I I Resuming after lunch, the doctor summed up this evidence by the statement that the child had had a separate existence, and that death was caused by hemorrhage from the neck wound, and possibly by the laceration of the mouth. I Witness was handed a, rather long pair of scissors and asked if the wound in the neck could have been produced by it, and said he thought not, but possibly it might have caused the laceration of the mouth, although be thought a blunt instrument like a hook more likely. In reply to Mr. Abel Thoinas witness admitted that breathing might occur and ciot-8 of blood form after a wound before the child was completely born. The wound in the mouth might have been caused by a person's thumb. Breathing did not prove a separate existence. He had no ground for believing that the child had had a separate existence except that the lungs were com- pletely expanded. Clara Ann Barrow, wife of Geo. Barrow, 30, St. Mary-street, Swansea, said prisoner I came to lodge with her after leaving her situation as assistant in a fruiterer's shop i at St. Thomas, and used to help her in the house. She slept in the same room as wit- ness and three children. She had asked prisoner if there was anything the matter with her, as people were talking about her. Prisoner denied there was anything the matter with her. Witness deposed to certain acts prisoner was seen to do in the early morning: of the 9th. Prisoner afterwards had some tea, and said she felt better, and went i to scrub the bedroom. The scissors produced belonged to witness, and prisooer took them upstairs that morning Prisoner kept her clothes in her tin box in the room, and it was always kept open till the 9th, but after that it was locked. Cross-examined by Mr. Thomas: The fender came close up to the bead of the bed, which was against the chimney-piece, but she did not think the fender was in the way of a person getting out of bed. Her little boy slept with the prisoner that night. In the morning she sent the children downstairs from the bedroom, saying their mother had something for them. ¡ Mr. Thomas: Was not the prisoner much worried about not getting a, situation?—No; I treated her like one of my own. Mr. Thomas: If she had been one of your own I should think you would have asked her something more. She was quite bright and merry, was she ?—Yes, sir, in the house with me. I Right up from the 9tb to the 13th P—Yes. In reply to the judge, witness said prisoner l left her house at elevon o'clock on the 13th to go to Brecon, but she came back at about twelve, and went by a later train. Mrs. Murray, St. Mary-street, said prisoner! showed her a. copy of a paper of the same oate as that found round the body. I Joshua Coburn proved taking prisonees l box to the Midland Statioll. Sydney Dowdeawell, Pontardawe, said he travelled in the same carriage as Miss Moore to Brecon. He noticed that she got up from her seat at one place on the journey, but did not see anything more. r Griffith Hughes, another occupant of the l carriage, which was full, said he did not notice prisoner nor see her do anything on the way. Mr. Abel Thomas asked his lordship to rule that there was no evidence to go to the jury on the charge of murder. I His Lordship stated that he would not withdraw that charge from the jury. Mr. Abel Thomas, in addressing the jury on prisoner's behalf, alluded to the weak nature of the evidence that the child had had a separate existence. It consisted entirely of the opinion of Dr. Richards, on which he oommented adversely. He asked them to say that the injuries to the throat and laoutu were caused unintentionally by the mother's fingers, and that the injuries to the jaw and the skull were caused by the body being thrown from the train. The Judge, in summing-up, said that to find a verdict of wilful murder they tuost, find that I the prisoner gave birth to a child, that this child was the one found on the side of the line, and that she wilfully tlnt its throat and j caused it to bleed to death. To find her guilty of manslaughter they would have to be satisfied that .-he caused its death by wilful neglect or improper conduct after birth. Wih regard to the charge cf tonce?I. l ment of birth, they would hare to decide whether the throwing of the body out cf a train to the side of the line, 88 in this ease, was a secret disposition of the body." The jury retired at 7.1S, and eight) minutes later they returned with a verdict of acquittal. The prisoner, who appeared to be in a state of collapse even after the verdict, was at once discharged. A number of people standing behind the dock shook hands with her heartily, and she then speedily recovered and left the court with a nuree and friend. I

I Prayers for Tolstoi
I Prayers for Tolstoi REMARKABLE SCENES AT ASTAPOVO RT. PETEESBURy. Friday. Telegrams from Astapovo state that Count Tolstoi refuses to see any member of his family. He is still bent on finish ins; hi.-> days in isolation, but fears that his resolution might be shaken by the affectionate inter- views with his near relatives His friend, M. Tcherkoff, is the only person allowed to approach liim. Extraordinary scenes are being enacted in time vicinity of the ?pot where the preat writer lies. Almost every train brinas to Astopovo uuknown friends of his, for the roost part peasants and (.thers of low degree in the social scale. who being unable to approach the sick man remain in comfortless and silent gronps about the station premises, frequently offering jrayer for lm recovery. When the evening cornea thpv sleep in the railway carriages on the station sidings. A rumour was current yesterday that the Holy Synod would withdraw Its excom- i munieatioi! of Count Tolstoi if he gave proof of repentance, and made the amendi honour- able, but against this report there has to be set the fact that the clergy of Roselsk have refused to allow prayers to be said for him in the churches. Took a Chill It appears quite certain that Tolstoi eon- tracted his present illness through charac- teristic imprudence. When he left his sister, after accomplishing the first stage of his journey, he entered a thii-d-clao.a railway carriaere, in which were a number of work- men. The railway officials recognised him. and put at his disposal a more comfortable second-ciass compartment. but Tolstoi obstinately refused to avail himself of the offer. He had stepped out on to the platform again to discuss the matter, and. remaining exposed to an icy wind. took a serious chill. —Central News. Countess Prostrated BERLIX, Friday. A telegram from Warsaw to the" Tage. b!att" states t.ha.t Count Tolstoi's condition is believed to be desnerate. The countess is said to be prostrated by grief at, the thought that she may not be allowed to see her hus- band again. Speaking to a party of jour- nalists she said. It was my duty as mother of nine children and the grandmother of 25 little ones to thinK of my family."

I Skeleton in a Trunk I I BELONCINC TO A WELSH WAITER I SEW YORK, Friday. I The police are investigating a. startling di9- covery ma.de yesterday in the basement of an up town house in -New York. In the course of a general clearing-out of the basement an old trunk was found, which, on being opened, proved to contain the I remains of a waman. There was. apparently, nothing to afford a I clue as to identity. Little more than the I skeleton remained. but a. medical examina- tion leads to the belief that the case is one of murder, committed in all probability I some eight years ago. More careful examination of the trunk I revealed the name "W. Lewis" stamped upon it, and the police. who have been following up this information, say they have ascer- tained that the trunk formerly belonged to a Welshman of that name, who was employed in New York as a. waiter. --Contra I News.
