Mr O'Brien in Canada. — HE LIES INJURED. I Determined to so to Hamilton. I More Rowdyism Expected. ICKNTRAL NKWS TELEGKAM.L NEW YOKX, Monday Morning.—Mr O'Brien kept his bed all day yesterday, and suffered a good deal of pain. He is obliged to lie upon his right side. An operation with a view to relieving the pain in the left lung has been performed. Two of the ribs were loosened, and the cartilages were found to be in a bad state. There isslight inflammation of the lung. Mr O'Brien refuses, nevertheless, to take the entire rest which the doctors prescribe, and determines to proceed on his journey. NEW YORK, Monday.—Mr O'Brien remained quiet all day yesterday in his hotel at Niagara although he was waited upon by deputa- tions from Rockover, Niagara, Buffalo, and other places. His physician insists on the necessity for ret, as in addition to cold Mr O'Brien is suffering from cartilaginous separation or indentation of the ribs. Mr O'Brien declares, however, that if his limbs sustain him he will go to Hamilton to day. A bodyguard from Buffalo has offered to accompany him, but he does not sanction this proceeding. The opinion is freely expressed at Hamilton that a serious con- I fliet will ensue.

SINGULAR AFFILIATION CASE AT CARDIFF. I I Another Enoch Arden." At the Cardiff this afternoon— before Dr. Paine and Major Sloper, an extraordi- nary affiliation case was heard. The complainant was Catherine Borgwardt, residing at 19, Roll- street, and the defendant Thomas McQuaide, a violinist, of 24, David-street.—Mr Morgan Rees, who appeared for the complainant, said the appli- cation was one for an order upon the defendant to contribute towards the support of the complain- ant's child, of which she alleged he was the father. The circumstances of the case were somewhat peculiar. His client was some time ago married to a man named Borgwardt. They lived together for a few months only, and then the husband went to sea. She did not see him again, but some time after he left she received a letter from a hospital at Shield, stating that ho was dead. The letter had, however, been destroyed. She re- mained a widow-or, rather, a supposed widow- about two years, and about twelve months ago she met the defendant in the present case, and was married to him on the 26th May, 1886. They lived together nearly eight mouths, and at the end of that period the former husband turned up with the result that there was considerable disturbance, aud they separated. On the 7th March last a child was born, the father of the child being the defendant, and under those circumstances he (Mr Rees) should ask the magistrates to make the usual order. Catherine Borgwardt was then put in the witness-box. She deposed that about four years ago she was married to Charles Borgwardt, a fire- man on board a steamer. The marriage took place at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Canton. When they had been married three days her husband went to sea, sailing from Cardiff in the Cladius. After an absence of two months he returned. They lived together for five days, and then he went to sea again. Their marriage tock place four years ago this August. Her husband went to sea in 1883, and never returned at least she had not seen him, but she had heard that he had been seen in Cardiff. She received a letter stating that he wasdead.-Asked what had become of that letter, she said the defendant in the present case burnt it. She first made the acquaintance of the defendant five yeais ago. She was married to him on the 26th May, 1886, after having kept company with him for eleven months. Cross- examined: She admitted having been married in a wrong name, but explained that she did not know the banns were in until she heard them given out in the church. In the publishing of them her name was given as Tobin, and that was her maiden name. After her marriage to the defendant she went to live in David-street, and remained there six weeks only. She had no issue by her first husband. Leaving David-street they moved to 18, Chancery-lane, to the house of one Richard Buruett, where they :lived about 7 months, and then a separation took place. She was delivered of a child on the 7th of March, this year, and the defendant was the father of the child. The defendant was a musician: he played the violin and earned from s to 12s per day dur- ing the summer. She had known him to go to Bridgend asylum without a penny in his pocket and return in the morning with a sovereign. Cross-examined by Mr David She denied hav- ing triad it on with somebody else. She was not aware that some other man had furnished a home with a view to marriage with her. She remembered a man named Theodore Poppinger, but that was in her first husband's time, and he did not" pop" to her. (Laugeter.) He never came to see her but once, and that was when she lived with Borgwardt. Richard Burnett, a mason, now living at Penarth, having been examined, the case was adjourned until Wednesday, for the production of additional evidence.

LORD BUTE AND CARDIFF. The Freedom of the Borough. A special meeting of the Cardiff Town Council will be called for an early date this week in order to take into consideration a proposal to confer upon the Marquis of Bute the freedom of the borough in recognition of his generous gifts to Cardiff. The ceremony of opening of the new Roath Dock will take place in jubilee week, most likely on Monday, the 20th June, the anniversary of the birthday of the Earl of Dumfries, and probably it will be arranged to present Lord Bute with the freedom ot the borough on the same day. His lordship is expected to arrive in Cardiff to-day on a short visit to the castle, and therefore, after he has been consulted, more detinite information may be forthcoming.

CO-OPERATION AT NEWPORT. » This afternoon the handsome new "home "of the Newport Working Men's Co-operative Society was formally opened. The opening ceremony, which was to have been performed by the ex- mayor, had to be done by deputy, owing to Mr Grice's absence in London. The new buildings well repay a visit. They present an imposing appearance from Dock-street, and the principal frontage extends a distance of 114ft. from Llan- arch-street in the direction of the newer portion of the thoroughfare. The main entrance is in the e-n-re of the front, and there are two handsome shops on either side — those on the left being devoted to drapery, boots and shoes, &c., and the two on the right side to grocery, provisions, and hardware. The first floor is occupied by show rooms, tea-room, and committee-room; and the second floor con- sists mainly of a room for holding meetings. It is 55ft. by 3lft., and is capable of seating 400 per- sons, being approached by a broad and easy flight of stairs. This room, which has been suitably decorated, will be available for lectures, bazaars, and other similar purposes, and will thus be a welcome addition to the limited number of public rooms and halls in Newport. The main shop piers are of Forest stone, the window heads and sills are in Bath stone, whilst Ruabon buff bricks are used in the rest of the front, with moulded bricks from the same district for the dressings, groins, and string courses. The cost of tl;.1 building and site totals to about 25,000. The contract for the building was let to Mr W. Price at £ 2,644 the purchase money of the site from the corporation was £ 2.000. The work has been r-u n. f) out under the efficient direction of Mr A. Swash, with Messrs Habersiimii -,iid Fawckner, J arcniteccs, of London umi Newport. In the evening, to celebrate the opening, a public tea was held, followed by an tDtertaiD.

I Gossip from the Papers. Extracts from London Letters. Whitsuntide will bring little holiday to any leading politicians except to Ministers themselves (says the Birmingham Daily Post). The Prime Minister and his principal colleagues will take a rest, of which those of them who sit in the Commons are sadly in need, and the chief speakers on the Unionist side will be drawn from the Liberal ranks. Mr Chamberlain at Birming- ham and Lord Hartington at Manchester (though the latter fixture is not definite) may be depended upcn to draw the attention of the country to the salient facts of the present situation, as they appear to the Liberal Unionist mind while Mr John Morley, who leads off early in the vacation at Norwich, and Mr Gladstone himself, during his visit to Wales, will efficiently minister to the wants and wishes of the Liberal Opposition. As regards Mr Gladstone, there is a strong hope ex- pressed by his followers that he will not over exert himself in Wales. He has been in fine fighting form during the session, and his health and spirits are alike good but his throat is painfully weak, and the strain of addressing anything like a large audience might, under present conditions, per- manently enfeeble it. In these days, therefore, his admirers must be ready to take the will for the deed; and the Welsh Liberals, if they wish to render a service to their party, will abstain from urging Mr Gladstone to tax his strength to any great degree during his stay among them. Such voicfc as he has left should certainly be saved for i li- House of Commons. The politicians who have no taste for jinks, jousts, and junkettings hav extended theholidays for themselves and flsd to country places (says the Birmingham Daily Gazette). There was less gaiety to-day than last Saturday. In the morning the west end of the town was illuminated by the appearance ot gentlemen in scarlet, in blue, and in black uniforms driving in carriages and in cabs, or stepping it on foot, to St. James's Palace to attend the Lev £ held there by the Prince of Wales. In the afternoon the holiday-makers went into the Park or attended the matinees at the threatre. To-night there are many dinner parties given in political circles. The dinner guests of one M.P., by the way, this evening met in a room which has been made famous. This is none other than the chamber represented in Mr Orchardson's picture "The First Cloud." Later in the evening the Conservative peers and Parlia- ment men attended a brilliant reception given by Mrs Howard Vincent at her husband's house in Grosvenor-square. Here the lights and luminaries of the political, the militant, and the social world rubbed shoulders. The Jubilee thanksgiving service at St. Margaret's church to-day (the Bristol Times and Mirror states) (was a grand function. Not since the Prince of Wales's recovery has the House of Commons been to church as a House of Commons, and not for many years has it paid an official visit to its own parish church of St. Margaret. It went to-day in great numbers, it took part in a very impressive ser- vice, and it listened to one of the most appropriate and able discourses which has ever come from an English divine, in the sermon of the Bishop of Ripon. Over four hundred members honoured the Speaker's invitation, and as. sembled in the House itself, marching with him across New Palace'-yard to the church. Inside the church there was a wealth of colour which gave an air of solemn brightness to the scene. The Doctors" among the clergy wore their full dregs academic robes, the Bishops appeared in the scarlet of Convocation, the two Primates only be dressed in the ordinary black and white of the episcopal habit. Dr. Bridge had charge of the musical arrangements, directing the united choirs of the Abbey and St. .Margaret's, who sang with sweetness and perfec- tion. The most interesting -i,3&tu re of the music was the singing of Bishop Boyd Carpenter's Jubilee hymn set to music by Dr. Bridge himself; and perhaps the most impres- sive was the singing of the National Anthem at the commencement of the service. But it was after all the sermon which will live in the memories of those who were present. It will, of course, be printed by the House, with its thanks but no reader will be able to gather from its pages how the Bishop of Ripon held his congregation spellbound for over three- quarters of an hour, while he spoke from beginning to end without a note of any kind. It may be called a discourse on the the philosophy of statesmanship. If a John Hampton or a Crom- well were required a couple of centuries ago to counteract a regal despotibm, the modern states- man no less needs the iron will to deal with the people who are now our masters. The apotheosis of modern statemanship is in the man who disdains to pamper the whims of the populace, but who, fearless of the consequences, guides them to the right path. I do not know whether a novel which MrMudie has refused to circulate has found its way to the country (asks the Sheffield Independent), but if not I must recommend those of my readers who have a taste for the subtle and, at the same time, more delicate kind of descriptive novel to read"Dr Phillips," which is supposed to contain the echoes of a long-forgotten scandal, but that is the least interesting part about it. It is one of the most powerful and concentrated pschyo- logical analysis of a perfectly ruthless kind which it has ever been my fortune to peruse. The method, perhaps, slightly resembles that of Zola, though infinitely more refined. The story every now and then reminds you of Balzac. I do not say that the novel is perfect, or that it is not somewhat crude in parts, but it has that wonderful grip of its subject which marks the writer of genius. The author withholds, how- ever, his name, but if he writes another book like Dr Phillips," he will soon come into the light of day. The Baroness Burdett-Coutts is about to under- take (says the Leeds Mercury) another good work on behalf of the fishermen of Ireland, who are mostly in a sad condition of helplessness trom lack of means and of serviceable boats with which to prosecute a sea going fishery. On the west, north, and south coasts, although the sea teems with a finny harvest, a very large portion ot the catch is obtained by craft from the south of England and Scotland. At this moment, as appears from a letter by the Rev. Father Davis, there is not a single curing establishment in the coun- try, and not one mackerel or herring net is made in Ireland. A training-school for fisher- lads which is about to be founded, may point the way to a remedy for this neglect of industry but whether nets are woven or not, it would be a decided step forward if more fish were caught. The loans to fishermen in the south of llreland for the purchase of weatherly decked craft and fishing gear have been honourably repaid by all who were recipients of Baroness Burdett-Coutts's bounty. Not a single default is recorded. Encouraged by this appreciation of her efforts, the Baroness is about to make similar loans to the poor fishermen of Donegal; and it may well be assumed that they will obtain a better livelihood off the coasts than they do by attempts of tilling a wretched soil. One of the saddest sights in the Fisheries Exhibi- tion was a miserable primitive coracle, in which the Irish peasant goes line fishing in fine weather. It was poorer in design and less ornamental than the dug-out of a savage. ♦ « Lord Abergavenny has got his statue (states the Liverpool Mercury). It has been erected in the Constitutional Club, and was opened yester- day by Lord Salisbury. In "opening" the statue Lord S<ihs'>ury was at a less what to say about Lord Abergavenny. For that distinguished marquis—distinguished now by the possession of a ttatue built in hiB dons atoolattl*. nothing ia febt dons atoolattl*. nothing ia the political world of which the public is aware. He has never made a remark- able speech or introduced a bill. He never even won an election. But be belongs to the great Kentish phalanx of which Lord Randolph Churchill is so justly proud, and he founded the Constitutional Cl"b. So Lord Salisbury p,aises him for not being famous. When the Liberal party takes to erecting statues to men who are not famous I shall put in my own claim. Lord Abergavenny is very popular with his party, and helps in these days to make Cabinets. He is 61 years of age, has been a soldier, and certainly deserves some credit for having given a very striking clubhouse to Northumber- land-avenue.

Mr Gladstone and the Cardiff Town Council. Will the Corporation Move P At a special meeting of the Cardiff Town Council, which ie to be called for various purposes at an early day this week, a question will be raised as to whether the corporation should take any action on the occasion of the visit of Mr Gladstone. As far as is known in local official circles there is at present no proposal on foot to present the distinguished statesman with the freedom of the borough, but a suggestion may come from the chair as to whether, in recognition of the eminent position of the illustrious visitor—and altogether apart from the political side of his reputation-the corporation should not officially receive him at the station, or in some other form offer a suitable welcome. A meeting of the general committee (the "500 ") has been called for to-morrow (Tuesday) evening at 8 o'clock, at the Queen-street Arcade Lecture Theatre, when the terms of the address to Mr Gladstone will be considered, and a draft address submitted. The railway committee have already arranged for special trains to be run from all the Great Western Railway Stations on the main line anii branches at considerably reduced fares. Full particulars will be advertised in the course of a day or two. The Cardiff Junior Liberals, The Cardiff Junior Liberals have arranged for a special train to leave Cardiff between 8 and 8.30 on Saturday morning, the 4th June, for the pur- pose of conveying to Swansea the deputation of the association appointed to present an address to Mr Gladstone at Singleton on the same day. Full particulars may be obtained from Mr Edward Thomas, 282, Bute-street. NEWPORT. Arrangements are in active progress for the Newport Liberal Association to be represented at the monster demonstration to be held in the grounds of Singleton Abbey next week. The Newport Junior Liberal Association also intend to be present in force. It is hoped that on the ex-Premier's return iourney to London, after his visit to Cardiff, arrangements may be made to present him with an address at Newport, either whilst the train waits, or in some other way which will suit the convenience of Mr Gladstone. Meeting of Irishmen. On Sunday night a largely-attended and en- thusiastic meeting of Irishmen was held at St. David's Roman Catholic Schoolroom, with re- ference to Mr Gladstone's visit to South Wales. The Rev. Father Maguire presided. It was decided, upon the motion of Mr T. O'Callaghan, sen., seconded by Alderman Carey, to present an address to the right hon. gentleman, and a com- mittee was appointed to draft the address and make the necessary arrangements for ite presenta- tion. The committee appointed consisted of Dr. Mullin, Alderman Carey, Messrs O'Callaghan, sen., Collins, Fullerton, Grogan, Captain Begg, Fathers Butler and Maguire, Macallister, and Fitzpatrick. A meeting of the committee will be held on Tuesday evening.

The French CabinetCrisis IftECTER'S TELrGRAM.1 PARIS, Monday.—Several of to-day's papers state that President Grevy will summon M. Floquet this morniug, in order to charge him with the formation of a new Cabinet. It is, however, believed that M. Floquet will decline the task, in which case the President will, it is understood, again apply to M. de Freycinet.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WOMAN AT CARDIFF. At the Cardiff Police-court this morning-before Mr Archibald Hood and Dr. Paiue-a man named Thomas Griffiths, 34 years of age, was brought up on a charge of being drunk and assaulting Annie Rees.—The evidence of the woman was to the effect that whilst in a house in Union buildings on Saturday night, the prisoner kicked her on the head aud knocked her to the ground in a state of insensibility. She knew the prisoner, and at one time he had cohabited with her. The prosecutrix wore a bandage round her head, and she had evidently been very badly treated. -Several wit- nesses were called in proof of the statement of the prosecutrix, and the prisoner was sentenced to a mouth's hard labour.

ASSAULTING A WIFE'S SOLICITOR. Mr Foster, of N ewcastle-on-Tyne, was engaged as Eolicitor in a dispute between Robert James Phelps and his wife. Phelps having failed to carry out an arrangement, execution was issued against him, upon whicb, meeting the unfortunate solicitor, he belaboured him with a stick. For six months he must now be of good behaviour to all her Majesty's liegh subjects," or forfeit a heavy penalty.

AN OBNOXIOUS ROGUE. A rogue of a very obnoxious kind has just been before Mr Justice Day, at Liverpool Assizes. Peter Melvern Jones, estate agent," was proved to have been guilty of a long gories of frauds in his vocation as a promoter" of limited liability companies and a shocking account was given to the judge of the widespread ruin and distress which had followed his operations. The learned judge sent him to penal servitude for seven years

CONTRADICTORY EVIDE-NCE.-Mary James was summoned for keeping a dog which was dangerous and not having it under proper control." William Wootlon, coachman to General Watson, said that defendant lived near his (witness's) master's residence. Witness was exercising some horses in a field close by on the 16th inst., when defendant's dauRbter set a brown retriever dog belonging to her mother at the horses, and one of them was bitten, though not severely. He bad previously had occasion to to complain to defendant of the dog's ferociousine.,is. Corroborative evidence was given by another employe ot General Watson. For the defence, Mr J. H.

E iterprise and the Derby. Ti:e Press Association, telegraphing this afternoon, says :-Nlt Ryan. the t'ainer of Enterprise, has tele- { graphed from Newmarket to-day to the Leeis Daily Ifeics st-ati, that Enterprise will not be scratched for the Derby, and that the colt is rather better now.

j Alleged Invalidity of The Baron's Nomi- | nation for the Derby. Considerable surprise lias been experienced by sup- porters of The Baron for the Derby at the marked hos. tility displayed by a certain section of the fielders against Mr Ferns's colt. The secret, however, has at last oozed out, and it would seem that there is some doubt as to the colt entry, arising out of paragraph 26 (Part IV.) of the Kules of Uacuis, relating to partner- ships in horses, of which the following is the text A horse cannot be entered in the real or assumed name of -i ny person as his owner unle,s that person's interest of property in the horse is at least equal to that of any other person." Now, as The Baron's Derby nomination i- in Mr Dawson's name, whilst Mr Fern is commonly supposed to own the greater share of the Derby favourite, the prospect of an objection being laid against The Baron, in the event of his proving success- ful, is not a remote one. It is to be hoped, however, that his owners will quickly set these doubts at rest, either one way or the other.
