DEATH OF MR THOMAS POWELL, j [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE "ECHO."] Councillor Thomas Powell, of Carregcennen, ILandilo, died last evening.

I TAUNTON DISASTER. I Signalman Deaf. The Signalman Rice, of Taunton, is seriously unwell, and has become deaf. Tvjost of the injured are doing well.

I;, LADIES AND THE SWEATING SYSTEM. It is striking proof how deeply sociJfhas been moved by the evils recalled by the inquiry into the sweating system, that a crowded meeting, largely composed of ladies, assembled at the Westminster Palace Hotel to establish a Con- sumers' League, who bind themselves to buy only j of those who pay fair prices for labour.

I The Man About Town. The enterprising traveller at Cardiff, who has escaped the thraldom of St. Mary- street, and is at liberty to court other beauties, may with some difficulty light upon almost, unknown suburbs. To most they are mere geographical expressions—simply lines ruled on the map. For they spring up so suddenly—like Aladdin's Palace all in one night—that the mind cannot follow them. They outstrip our consciousness by years. You can easily recognise them, for they are all members of one family. The streets have a sprightly air under which they attempt in vain to hide their newness. There is it look of juvenile pride about them, like that of a pretty girl in her first ball-dress. The kerbs are so sharp, the pavements so even, the lamp so sticky with new paint, and the bricks so independent of one another The houses are like a row of boolio—all the same —for there is no difference save that one may be tricked out with lace curtains, whilst I another glimmers in red. And somewhere near there is a lonely open space with rail- ings round and a melancholy Ancient, with folded arms and a stumpy stick, glaring like a lion in his cage. Yes, that is the Cardiff suburb 1 These houses are not without their little vanities--youth would be unnatural without them. They rejoice to flaunt a mullioned window in one's face, or thrust a red-glass door under one's nose. Then they make I such a fuss about their tiny plot of ground in front-which they stretch out into parks with flowerbeds and trailing creepers. And they are a little too fond of playing at castles, It is perhaps to be expected of young houses. They must have their fun, poor things t There is so little to look at. That is why you see one house called The Lindens, another Fair view," a third Norfolk House," whilst none so poor as not to boast of being a Villa. "The Lindens" is so called by the old rule of hwus being lucus a non lucendo, because there are no Lindens. In truth they are but sam- ples, mere models, as it were, of the house. But who would sneer at the pretty prattle of an infant ? In more mature years, perhaps, they will allow themselves to be numbered in gregarious humility Now there is a peacefulness about the streets which only simmers gently in dimi- nutive excitements. The butcher's boy, whistling as he goes along—for there is some subtle connection between meat and music—causes quite a sensation. He is pursued by a thousand new-waked echoes. The milkman's bell flutters a dozen hearts. He has a light-hearted way about him, a cheery clashing down of his pail, and a careless, merry grace in pouring out the milk into foaming bubbles which no housemaid can resist. The day is not numbered by hours, but, as at sea, by bells. The postman, the milkman, the butcher, the bread-boy, and the coal cart. For the coal cart man somehow loves the bye-paths of life, distrusts the busy town, but wan- ders lonely in sequestered parts. And as five o'clock draws on there is a sudden ten- sion of the ear, a concentration of mind, a nervous waiting. On a sudden comes a shrill, unholy screech, a 110ng drawn agony of a shout. It is the Echo, the evening de- bauch, the family gossip, bringing murders and suicides to the old ladies and Yankee Yarns to the young. That ends the day. There is a pretext at dragging existence on till ten o'clock, but you can see through the sham at a glance. Those who dwell in these sequestered streets are gentle beings with simple virtues and painful regularity of life. Revelry never haunts the precincts of an Open Space. Innocent domestic pleasures find there a sweet retreat. Somehow all the residents are alike. If you pass fifty of these pert villalings at one o'clock you will see fifty white tableclothes spread with dainty dinner services or at ten 'in the morning fifty servant girls are scrubbing away at fifty doorsteps. Everything seems to be regulated by the baton of some unseen conductor, and only a few of the instruments lag behind. The gentlemen all leave about nine, with small black bags in their right hands, and return after mid-day with expectant, hungry looks. On Sundays there is a solemn still- ness which is not broken until evening, when you may hear pianos, somewhat thumped, moaning forth hymn-tunes. Some are bright, but they are usually thoughtful and precise airs, taking their ease, one note not emulous of its predecessor, but rather giving it ample time to charm the ear with its full cadence before intruding to take its place. The more agricultural stand at the gateways and smoke pipes, or stroll in the micro- scropic park. But I look with no favour upon this, because it denotes a restlessness that is not becoming to the mild innocence of the scene. These Cardiff suburbs of ours are the Arcadies of modern life let the tabor and the lute there have sway, and the fierce throbs of city madness be heard but in dim murmur from afar! *■ It may appear invidious to pick quarrels constantly with the Newport Corporation. It is an estimable body of estimable men but they have one fault. Their ideas are not large enough. They have a knack of regarding a large and growing town as the village it used to be in ancient days, and their schemes are narrowed down to the dimensions suitable to a Local Board. One of the many improvements dating from a time so remote that it would be absurd to search a newspaper file for its inception, is the laying down of tramlines to Maindee. It is not profitable to bring constantly to mind the darling projects of primeval man. But in this case, at least, the necessity is so great, and is pressing itself so inconveniently upon the thousands who pass daily from the town to that interest- ing suburb, that it is scarcely out of place to ask why the Corporation should be so blind to its advantages. The only argument which is suggested against the project is the familiar and fallacious one, that the Bridge is not wide enough for the traffic. It may be con- sidered improper, but it is impossible not to suggest that if in London ten times the number of vehicles are permitted to proceed through streets considerably narrower, if even in Cardiff Duke-street be not considered a barrier to the service of 'buses between Roath and Canton, Newport might be humble enough to admit that it is not so abnormally crowded a town as to prevent it from following an example humbly set by larger towns. But if that absurd argument be allowed to prevail, might not a larger question be properly advanced The Corporation have powers to correct the dip in the Bridge at a large cost. Surely it is evident that if there is to be any patching at all, the time has arrived for alterations still more important. The Bridge, be it admitted, is not wide enough for so important a link. Why, then, not make it wide enough ? It would certainly cost a large sum of money, but it would. be better to spend it at once, when alterations have to be made, than wait until time compels them to make a second upheaval. There is just cause of complaint that the Newport Corporation is not alive as it should be to large ideas such as this. It is commonly supposed that there is time for improvements yet—one has only to wait till the town doubles its population—like the wise landlord who will not make his premises habitable till he have double the number of visitors This may be economic sobriety, but it is certainly not enterprise. vr ■JT- Lord Windsor's address to the South Wales Art Society was a little piquant and a great deal didactic. With the one it was impossible not to be amused with the other equally impossible not to quarrel. Probably the Society itself will not be inclined to admit that their aims, which are "high," are to prove to the public that they are able to give an exhibition of pictures which is worthy of support. If that be their aim in reality, their work is scarcely profitable; and whilst it might ultimately prove an interesting fact in sociology, is scarcely worth the labour and time bestowed upon it. ( But, amid much that was excellent on the subject of colour and the hideous derange- ments which are so often to be seen in the drawing-rooms of ladies of "high art in South Wales, there was one pronouncement of Lord Windsor's to which I hope every member of the Society took exception. Good taste," he remarked, j quoting from another, is the sum of the opinions of generations of competent j udges." At first sight, he admitted, this did not seem to tell us much, but it at least helped us to go to the right authorities for good taste." It is a dangerous doctrine. Are we to forswear our natural inclinations because of the edict of a genius ? Are we to forsake every instinct that we possess and echo the alien thought of another (I There is nothing edifying in the spectacle of a nation aping the modes and copying the emotions of its leaders one ounce of genuine bad taste is worth a pound of imi- tation. I might quarrel with his lordship on a point of science, and might I ask whether "taste," like "virtue," can be taught ? and whether a faculcy which depends for its sanction upon its spontaneity can be grafted into one mind from another '!■ Art, no less than literature, is a republic and as one would scorn the slave who mouthed the dogmas of Matthew Arnold, so one would loathe the sycophant who glared at nature through the borrowed spectacles of Mr Ruskin. One feels inclined to think warmly of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce. They have raised a tremendous storm which is blowing platforms, entrances, bridges, and stations round the ears of the Directors of the Great Western Railway. "Hitherto the station has been much like one of those tantalising puzzles of which "Pigs in Clover" is an example. You have three lines and a hundred trains puzzle, get the trains on the lines without causing a collision; ten minutes delay to each train allowed. But even Directors have hearts, and the Great Western Company is making royal compensation for the long delay. They are to spend £120,000 upon the station, throw it open, convert the down line platform into an island, increase the facilities for entrance, and start a passenger service to the Docks. It is a reform sadly needed. There is something despicable and mean in the cold, small station which shivers at its own insignificance, and is so like a tiny gate to an immense Cathedral. One does not like to crawl into Cardiff through a trap door. The accommodation at Newport has long been infinitely better, although Cardiff is the starting point of some of the moat im- portant fast trains run on the main line. Let us be thankful to the Directors, and pray that there be no long period of contemplation before the work be commenced.

ARABI PASHA AND MR LIPTON. The Ceylon papers just to hand say that, owing to recent indisposition, the Government doctors ordered Arabi Pasba, the Egyptian Exile, to go up the country for a change. Arabi Pasha, accompanied by his son and suite, also Ali Fehmy Pasha, are now staying as the guests of Mr Lipton, on one of his estates (Dambatenae), where they will remain for some time.

Brutal Prize-Fight in Dublin. A Scotch Soldier Badiy Beaten by an Irish Butcher. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TFIE "ECHO."] A glove-fight teak place in the Antiont Concert Room, Dublin, last night, between an Irish butcher and a Scotch soldier, which was marked by great brutality, as shown by the fact that after only four rounds out of 20 had been fought the soldier was knocked senseless, and could not come up to scratch. The contest was betwean Joseph Rafferty and Joseph Halliday for £ 40, and was watched by the police, who, however, did not interfere. Rafferty is a butcher, and Halliday comes freni Castle Douglas, Scot- land, and is in the Scottish Fusiliers. In the fourth round Halliday was incapable of defence, and suffered terrible punishment until knocked unconscious on the ropes. The result was received with tumultuous cheers by thousands outside the Hall, and the winner was cheered.

A COLONEL KILLED. [REUTKR'S TELEGRAM.] NEW ORLEANS, Thursday.—A despatch received here from Tegucigalpa states that the American colony assisted President Bogran in subduing the insurgents under Sanchez, and that Colonel Alden Baker, of New Orleans, was killed in the fighting. Another American was wounded.

EMPRESS FREDERICK AND DR. KOCH. [IlEWfER'S TELEGRAM. 1 BERLIN, Thursday. -The papers announce that Dr Koch was yesterday received in audience by the Empress Frederick. At yesterday's sitting of the Medical Society, Professor Von Virchow, who presided, defended Dr Koch against the charge of premature publication regarding his discovery, and said that his first communication to the Medical Congress in Berlin was only made in obedience to the urgent representations of the committee.

STRANGE SCENE ON AN ATLANTIC LINER. The steamer City of New York arrived at Queenstown yesterday, and the passengers who disembarked reported that on Sunday night, at 11 o'clock, there was a serious explosion aboard the vessel, caused by the bursting of a large dynamo pipe which runs through the single men's steerage compartment, situated in the fore part'of the steamer, and connects with the refrigerator. As a result of the bursting of the pipe, the fore part of the vessel was instantly tilled with the stifling fumes of ammonia, and the steerage passengers, most of whom were in their berths, had to rush helter-skelter upon deck, with scarcely any clothing on them, to avoid being suffocated. The fumes of the ammonia acted with terrible effect upon the eyes and throats of the men who were in the compartment where the explosion took place, many of them being rendered almost blind, while others could scarcely speak a word, they were so hoarse.

THE SILENT ENGLISHMAN. Our silent railway travelling, according to an Australian correspondent of Greater Bri tdi'/ly is one of the things that most strike an Australian on his first visit to this country. Taking his own experience, this Antipodean visitor tells us that in our railway carriages people seemed to look askance at him as he entered, wondering, as it seemed, whether he belonged to the army of pickpockets of whose dexterity he had just had a personal experience. He admits, hbw- ever, that when this reserve had been broken through by a chance word, he generally found people ready for conversation. The Australian attributes this silent railway travelling, which is unknown in Australia, partly to the immense amount of excellent reading to be found in the multitude of daily papers and he confesses that many of the articles are better mental food than much of the conversation that goes on in the Australian train journeys, certainly very much better than the card-playing which is such a feature of life in Australian trains. -M_

POUSH ALLIANCE SOCIETY'S SECRETS. Mysterious Peopie in the Service of the Czar. [REUTKK'S TELEGRAM.] NEW YORK, Thursday.—A man alleged to be a Polish exile recently left Minneapolis, leaving his wife behind. Enquiries were instituted, and it was discovered he had for a long time tried to extract from the President of America the Polish Alliance Society's secrets, and also the channels through which it furnished aid to exiles. The man's wife, though apparently friendless, did not appear to worry her- self about her husband's departure, but, like him, displayed considerable interest in the affairs of the alliance. The president of the alliance becoming suspicious wrote to Warsaw, whence he learned both the man and wife were in the service of the Czar, and had been sent to assist the Russian Government in apprehending Poles from Warsaw who are in the habit of transmitting money sent to Siberia from America. »

TRADES UNiONiSM IN THE SERVANTS' HALL. The latest developments of the spirit of Trades Unionism comes from Dunedin, New Zealand, where a league of domestic servants is being formed to agitate for shorter hours and a weekly half-holiday. The former of these demands suggests that in fashionable houses, where dances and evening at homes are frequent, that "day" and" night" servants will become a necessity if the eight hours' working day is ac- cepted by these last fair recruits to the ranks of the New Unionism. Otherwise, we may find that the baby is left to cry, or even the butcher boy's ring is unanswered, because Sarah Jane could not on principle do anything out- side the hours of her contract. The burn- ing question of the "evening" or the Sunday out is generally settled by the servant declining to come unless she has an understanding that she will be allowed it, but the aggrieved parties seem inclined to forget that it is open to mistresses to unite also. A mistresses' league against fringes, fashions, and followers might have serious results which the economics of the servants' hall can hardly, perhaps, be expected to foresee. -Daily Graphic.

THE CORONER'S JURY AND THE JUDGE. Coroner's juries must do their best to agree and not attempt to put their duties on to the shoulders of her Majesty's judges. Srch is the moral of a curious little colloquy in open court between the foreman of a Brooms Wood coroner's inquest and Mr Justice Mathew at the Worcester- shire Assizes. Three times had this jury met to inquire into the causes of the death of a miller who had been found dead in a field without being able to determine whether he had died of poison or of heart disease, or, if of poison, whether the small quantity of laudanum dis- covered during the post-mortem examination had been taken with suicidal intent or merely to allay pain. In despair they appealed to Mr Justice Mathew, but that courteous and upright judge could only recommend them to retire and deliberate again. Three of the jurors then stated their belief that it was his lordship's duty, under- the circumstances, to relieve them from their em- barrassment by declaring a verdict. "Oh, no," was Mr Justice Mathew's reply, "you must try to agree. When you have done so," he added, "I shall have great pleasure in discharging you." Then came the significant hint that otherwise he must leave them to talk it over for a consider- able time." This ominous warning appears to have had the desired effect. Soon afterwards, we are told, the foreman returned and announced that 12 jurors had agreed on a verdict of Found d earl

• • ■ Bolton Murder. SPECIALIST'S EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER'S CLOTHING. Macdonald's Hand Photographed. I The prisoner's clothing has been forwarded to Dr Paull, an eminent Liverpool specialist, for examination. He hopes to be ready for the inquest on Saturday. The polied express confidence that they will be prepared with such evidence that the jury will be con- vinced th:tt it was morally impossible for Anyong else to have committed the crime except tht prisoner. Macdonald's hand has been photo' graphed. Significant Discovery. I A startling discovery was made this MORNING A shopkeeper found the blood-stained sleeve of 1 cotton shirt hanging on a tree near the worki where the prisoner Macdonald visited his aunt ot the morning of the crime. The sleeve is oi similar material to the prisoner's shirt. Thi police believe the murderer got in front of th( deceased girl by a shorter route, and suddenll sprang at her. Had they continued along thl road after being seen they must have been met bi Mr Deaken, but he saw neither. The risoner's Aunt Interviewed. I In the course of an interview, the aunt of th< prisoner Macdonald, with whom he lived, and wh< has been practically turned out of the locality it consequence of the murder, has expressed th* opinion that Macdonald is insane. She says shø has even told the police that he was not fif to be at large, and that they replied it was only his naughtiness." On one occa- sion he came home, and said the birds wcrt whistling at him. When arrested for drunken* ness on the day cf the murder, the prisoner'^ shirt, handkerchief, and hands were stained with blood, but he said he had had a fight, in which his face was scratched and his lip cut. Since hit release on that charge, the shirt he was wearing has disappeared. Prior to going to Bclton ht fetched his aunt out of the mill "n the pretencf. that someone had come from America, which was untrue he only wanted to borrott money. The young man from Birmingham, said to be engaged to the deceased, attended the funeral of the victim. His name is Georgt Cooper, and he is a jeweller. He says he nevet gave Miss Holt a ringo, nor knew her to wear one so that the ring pledged by the prisonef has evidently nothing to do with the case. MR Deakin, the proprietor of a bleach works at Bel- mont, is reported to have driven along Long' worth Clough on Monday morning about nixie o'clock, but did not see either the deceased or thfe prisoner. At that period the dreadful crime WA9 probably being perpetrated in the ravine below; Dr Robinson now inclines to the belief that tht, deceased ran away from the prisoner down TVU steep descent, and that he overtook her at thf bottom. Prisoner before the Magistrates. I Macdonald, the ex-convict, charged with the brutal murder of Miss Holt, schoolmistress, of Belmont, near Bolton, was before the county justices this morning. Mr Hall prosecuted oft behalf of the Treasury, and the prisoner was un- defended. A remand was granted until Monday, the police not being quite ready. The prisonec was agreeable to the remand, as he wanted othel clothes.

Dock Labourers' Strike, I fresh Men Working Under Police ] Protection. There is much excitement at Garston to-day, consequent on a strike of dock labourers.

DOUBLE COLLISION AT NEWPORT. An untoward chapter of accidents occurred in the Alexandra Dock, Newport, this morn ing. The La Barroure, one of Messrs Morel Brothers' fleet of Spanish traders, was warped into the dock, and on taking her berth on the north side she went toe close to the barque Queen of the North, of Newcastle, and the steamer's rigging caught. Her mast snapped off, one of her boats was stove in, and part of the rail carrried away. The barque sustained little or no injury: The La Barroure, proceeding a little further, came into collision with the ss. Berina, of Liverpool, and ran into her on the port quarter, knocking in one of her plates. Ultimately the steamer was brought up under a coal hoist. It is alleged that her vagaries were due to the absence of a dock pilot, who should have been on beard to guide hoc safely amongst the intricacies of the dock.

II PIGEON SHOOTING AT CADOXTON. A pigeon shooting match came off at a field near the King William the Fourth Hotel, Cadox- ton, on Wednesday afternoon. There was a very fair attendance, and considering that the weather and light were very unfavourable, the shooting was extremely good. The chief prize was a pig (owned by Mr I. McGill) of the value of £ 10, which was won by Mr W. Russell, Cardiff, who killed seven birds in succession; Mr T. Reds being the second with six birds. A sweep- stake of £ 3 was won by Mr J. Kidd, Cardiff, who killed five birds in succession. A sweepstake of £ 2 10s was won by M J. Kidd, Cardiff, who again killed five birds in succession, Mr J. Roberts, Royal Oak, Cardiff, killing four birds for second placo. A sweepstake for JB2 10s first prize, and J61 sccond prize resulted thus :-lst, Messrs Kidd and W. Roes, Cardiff, divided, 5 birds each a sweepstake of JB2 10s, Mr Kidd, Cardiff, 5 birds; a sweep- stake of 25, Mr Kidd, Cardiff, 5 birds. A match for 210 a-side was then shot for by Messrs Kidd and W. Lewis, Cardiff, and was wov by Mr Kidd, who killed 5 birds. It is worthy OF notice that out of 43 birds Mr Kidd killed 41. Mr J. Summerton, ol Cardiff, was judge and referee. A luncheon was afterwards held at the King William the Fourth Hotel, where an excellent spread was prepared by Host Gill. Mr Summerton presided at the pI? oeedings.

EVICTIONS ON MAJOR PIKE'S ESTATE. A large force of police was drafted to Achill Island yesterday to protect the bailiffs evicting on Major Pike's estate there.

A VESSEL WRECKED. The vessel which sank last week in the Solent off the Nab is believed to be the brigantine Sarah Ann, of Sunderland. Divers report that she had been in collision. The wreck was yesterday blown up by the Trinity House staff. Some bodies were found floating near the wreck.
