---The Murder of a Prison…
The Murder of a Prison Warder. The man arrested at Dewsbury last night is not Manchester murderer, Jackson, as was at first ^PP osed. The convict is still at large. The police at Wolverhampton arrested a man last night, sleeping in an outhouse, who is lieved to answer the description of Jackson, the Manchester murderer. He gives the name of ^ash, and states that he came yesterday from the teighbourhood of Olcfham, but denies all knowledge of the murder. L The funeral of Ralph D. Webb, the murdered arder, took place at Salford borough cemetery to-day. It was attended by a large crowd. Three Mourning coaches contained the relations and ^ends of the deceased. On the box of each sat a harder wearing crape on his arm. They attended compliance with the wish of Mrs Webb, and bore the coffin, which was deposited in the grave Of Webb's brother-in-law. The Central News Manchester correspondent, kfegraphing at one o'clock, says John Jackson, he murderer of Assistant warder Webb in trangeways Prison, is still uncaptured. It was bought that the man arrested at Dewsbury last ight would prove to be the missing criminal, but at individual having given a satisfactory accouafs himself was released, and Detective Inspector a.minada, who had been following up clues in Yorkshire, has returned to Manchester. Portly before noon to-day a telegram as received here from Wolverhampton, stating bat a man supposed to be Jackson, and who mitted coming from Oldham, had been arrested II that town on suspicion. Enquiry at the Man- tester detective office does not, however, tend to nfirm that suspicion. At all events the officials disclaim having received any intelligence tending tablish the man's identity.

Another London Tragedy.
Another London Tragedy. MURDER THROUGH JEALOUSY. IN PRESENCE OF A SWEETHEART. There was a sensation in Maryiebone on Thurs- day evening. Joseph Rumbold, aged 22, residing at 9, Bridport-street, Blandford-square, London, was brutally murdered in the Outer Circle of Regent's-park. Rumbold was a compositor, and was employed at Messrs Henderson, Rait, and Spalding's printing establishment, Marylebone- lane. For some weeks past Rumbold and a friend, named Alonzo Byrne, also a compositor at Messrs Headersou's, iitd been in the habit of walking about of an evening with two work girls named Lizzie and Annie Lee, whose abode is in Barrett's-court, Marylebone. On Thursday evening at eight o'clock Rumbold and Byrne, after leaving work, met the two sisters as usual, and all four walked along Wigmore-street and Harley-street to the Outer Circle of Regent's Park. Rumbo!d was ascompa- uied by Lizzie Lee, and Annie had Byrne for a companion. On reaching Cornwall-terrace, Rum- bold, who was some distance ahead of his t'ellow- workman, was accosted by a gang of eight or more young fellows, with two or three of whom, it is said, he was intimately acquainted. Some high words passed, and during the altercation which then ensued, Rumbold was set upon by one or more of the gang, and struck violently in the neck and back with some sharp instrument such as a large pocket knife. At the moment the attack was made upon Rumbold, Byrne was about thirty yards behind, and owing to the bend taken by the park railings, he was unable to see what was going on in front. However, after having gone a few paces, he was surprised to see that Rumbold bad left his sweetheart and was rushing towards him. He at once went towards him for the purpose of ascertaining what was the cause of bis friend retracing his steps, when Rumbold staggered and fell at his feet, just beside the railings of York-gate. On lifting him up he saw that blood was pouring from a ggping wound in his neck, and he at once called for assistance; and a crowd speedily collected. A four-wheel cab was procured, and the injure man was placed in it, and, accompanied by Robert Jenkins, the gatekeeper at York-gate, was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where he was at once examined by the lJOuse surgeon, who pronounced life extinct, the stab on the back of the neck having penetrated the vertebral column. The case has been placed in the hands of Inspector Robson, of the Criminal Investigation Department, but no arrests have been made. It is believed that jealousy is the motive fvi the crime. No arrest has yet been made in connection with the murder of Joseph Rumbold near Regent's Park, on Thursday evening. The murderers appear to belong to a gang of roughs from Lisson- grove, who took Rumbold for a Seven Dials man.
.MERTHYR BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
MERTHYR BOARD OF GUARDIANS. IMPORTANT DISCUSSION ON THE TAXATION OF ROYALTIES. The Local Government Bill. The ordinary meeting of the Mertiiyr Guar- dians was held' to-day, Mr W. Jones, J.P., presiding.—The discussion on Mr D. Davies's (Aberdare) motion affirming the desirability of grouad rents and royalties being taxed directly was resumed. The Rev Aaron Davies supported the proposal. Mr D. li. Williams, J.P., Hirwain, now reminded the board that he was the first to bringf this question before the public. From the peer ot the realm to the humble cottager he had received communications expressing entire concurrence with what had been done and the proposal to tax their properties. (Hear, hear.) He referred to the vast aggregate of income which escaped taxation, and to the oppressive character of the present system, which saddled the lessees of collieries with so much responsibility. Mr James Lewis, J.P., the largest ratepayer in Aberdare, had, he was pleased to say, now expressed approval of the course he had taken. He -also mentioned that he saw in a London paper that the untaxed ground rents in this country amounted to £150,000,000 per 'annum. Looking to their immediate dis- trict, he mentioned tha Court Estate at Merthyr, which brought in £ 3.000 to -05,000 in the shape of ground rents; wnat portion of that went towards the improvement of Merthyr? Not one penny of that valuable property was con- tributed towards relieving the great body of the ratepayers of Merthyr. He was a Nonconformist and Liberal in his views, but he was bound to refer to the Church property at Aberdare. Formerly it was let as agricultural land at 5s an acre; now it was let for building at prices ranging from 920 to £ 120 per acre. None of that valuable property contributed anything towards the rates. He thought wayieaves might also be taxed. The motion was passed unanimously.—The clerk read the following report. Boardroom, Workhouse, May 25th, 1888. To the guardians of the Merthyr Tydfil Union. Gentlemen,—Your committee, appointe(i to consider the Local Government Bill, beg to report as follows We have gone through the general provisions of the bill, and we recommend that a petition be at once pre- sented by your board to the House of Commons om- bodying the following; objections and amendments to the bill, viz tl) That both the county and the (lis. trict councils be composed of election members only, and that the qualification c)f the chairman of the county council be omitted from the bi 1. (2) That that the county and district councils be elected for four years, half to go out in two years, the other half at the end of four years. (3) That the control of the police force be either left t, the quarter,sessiona or wholly transferred to the county council. (4) That the most most objectionable clause, giving compensa- tion to licensed victuallers for the taking away a right not vested in them by law, be expunged, and that a direct veto as to granting ana removing licenses be given to the ratepayers. (5) That we object to the sheriff being the returning officer for the eltction of the members of the dis- trict council, and we submit that the election of sucii members be conducted by the chairman of the club of the district council as such council shall direct. (6) That a clause for the removal of the South Wales toll-gates be inserted in the bill. (7) That the proposal to pay 4d per head for "indoor paupers" be modified q :i- ,,c, to encourage undue enforcement of the "and be made equitable fair to (tis 11. ,1 o there is but a small percentage of indoor Pi" (8) That in view of the great injustice in aiiowiiiy, the royalties ami ground rents to escape the payment of their fair share of the local rates, we strongly urge that provision be made in the bill giving power to access directly royalties and ground rents for local purposes.—We remain, gentlemen, your most obedient servants, Thomas \\ilhams, Aaron Davies, D. Davies.—The Rev Aarun Davies proposed, and Mr Thomas Williams. J.P., seconded the adoption of the report.-By the casting vote of, he chairman it was rbsolved to adopt the report without discussion. One fresh case of siuall-pox was reported to I have occurred at Peiivbauh. Total of cases, 37.

Instead of having 100 on parch side of the hill they intended to have 250. Ho believed the. Aberdare people had already increased the number of their representatives.—Mr Dakin suggested that the question of a reconstruction of rules bo referred to a committee, to COIJRist of two representatives from each district.—Mr A.

Harcourfc visiting South Wales, and he suggested that an effort should be made to induce that gentleman to address a meeting at Merthyr.—On the motion of Mr D. Davies, seconded by Mr Lloy1, Pcuydarren, it was decided to ask Mr Henry Kichard, M.P., to use his influence in that direction.—Mr A. Daniel inquired as to the likelihood of Mr llchard hirr. selt being able to address them shortly.—Mr WiliiaII13 (chairman) replied that he saw Mr Richard the other (lay in the lIou,e of Commons. He was still unwell, but hoped to be able to p:.y them a visit in the autumn.—On the motion ut Mr A. Daniel, seconded t'y Mr Boweu, a proposi- tion was carried congratulating i\ir H. P.

On Friday Riternoon a meeting of the general committee of the South Wales and Monmouth- shire presentation in commemoration of the silver wedding of their Jtoyal Highnesses tbe Prince and Princess ol Wales, was held, by permission of the Lord Mayor, in the Slate drawing-room. Mr Alderman Evans, treasurer of the fund, who presided, submitted the report of the executive committee, which recommended that the pre- scntatatioll should t, ke the form of a silver shield designed by a Welsh artist.

I Gossip of the Day.
I Gossip of the Day. I From To-day's London Letters. I Wedding Pre-sents fop-an- Actress. I have heard of a further illustration (writes the London correspondent of the Sheffield Daily Tele- graph) of Mr Irving's munificence. To-morrow week a most interesting ived,ling is to take place at the Chapel Royal, Savoy. Mr Cyril Maude, a gentleman of family, who recently turned actor, is to be married to Miss Winnifred Emery. The latter is not so well known to the world at large as her accomplishments and talents would justify. That, however, is owing to the fact that she has been for some years retained by Mr Irving, at, I believe, £1,000 a year, to act as understudy to Miss Terry. When Mr Irving heard of her coming marriage he was anxious to make her a eubstautial present. Having racked his brain in vain to hit upon an idea he sent Miss Emery a cheque for £ 500, with a request that she would kindly select something herself on his behalf. The Meet of the Coaching Clubs. Londoners may well be proud of their parks (says the Birminghosm, Gazette's London correspon- dent). The best known of all the Metropolitan parks is that which lies between Piccadilly and Oxford- street. Those who labour under the common delusion that London is composed of bricks and mortar only would be startled could they suddenly be transported into the middle of Hyde Park just now. Here are to be seen on every hand the most charming attributes of an English summer. The trees are full of blossom and the foliage is fresh, and when the Coaching Club meets to-day there will be seen a perfect, picture of English life. The coaches with their costly teams, the miles of carriages which will line the park as the four-in-hands drive past, and the costumes of the people-that is, should the weather prove fine-will be suggestive of that wealth which in itself suggests happiness. Yesterday the country cousins who annually come to town went into Hyde Park. Here re-unions took place among friends who have not seen each other since last summer. Masters of hounds were to be seen hobnobbing together and telling mournful tales of the sport of last winter. Here, there, and everywhere heiresses and beauties were to be seen. The functions of the Derby week seem to be more attractive than ever. Between the Epsom Meeting and that at Ascot a week of quiet intervenes, in which the visitors make the most of the features of the picture galleries. It is a great many years since either I the playhouses or the galleries possessed so many attractions. ♦ Parliamentary Reporters at Cricket. As seen from the floor of the House of Com- mons and from the strangers' gallery, the occupants of the reporters' gallery (writes the Loudon correspondent of the South Wales Daily JSJews) appear to be the most serious body of men in the kingdom. And when it is borne in mind what they are called upon nightly to undergo, it will be admitted that they are sometimes sorely tried. Even parliamen- tary reporters can unband. During the last two or three sessions, infected with the spit it of the age, a number of the most athletic members of the gallery have been devoting much of their spare time to cricket, and this year the result of their continuous practice is seen in a really respectable eleven, the captain of which is Mr Tahourdin, of the Times staff. Mr Robertson, the Times reporter, is the best all- round cricketer in the team. But Mr Bannerman, of the Standard, a cousin of the famous Austra- lian of the same name, is a hard hitter, and there are several other players of promise. On Tuesday a good match was played at Dulwich with a representative eleven of. the dramatic profession and on Wednesday the House of Commons police, with Chief Inspector Horsley as captain and wicket-keeper, unsuccessfully tried to wrest their laurels from them.
THE PRETTY MILKMAID AND THE…
THE PRETTY MILKMAID AND THE FARMERS SON. PROCEEDINGS AT NEWPORT. At Newport county police-court, this afternoon, Thomas Lawrence, a smart-looking farmer's son, was summoned to show cause, etc., by Sarah Evans.—Mr Lyndon Moore was for complainant and Mr PJews for the defendant.—Mr Moore said the defendant was the son of a substantial farmer, of Pentyrch Farm, Llantarnam, and himself farmed Innd, possessed cows and sheep, and lately sold B70 worth of hay. The complainant, seventeen years of age, was the daughter ot the tenant of the Court Vach Farm, Bettws, who also engaged in the dairy trade, iu which his daughter assisted him. In November, 1856, as she was leaving Llautarnam Church, tshe was introduced to defendant by a mutual friend, and he became smitten with her. He accompanied her to a theatrical performance at Newport, and sat next her, with his arm round her waist, ou the way home. These little attentions ripened into maturity, and defendant used to see her every Wednesday and Sunday. It was on one of these latter evenings, when, having induced her to walk from Cwmbran to Llantarnani, that he seduced her. Complainant, a stylish lass, told the court that defendant repeatedly renewed the intimacy, sometimes 'n ii-v father's house, and that when she found out how matters stood, and told him, he said he would give her £ 50 if she kept it a secret, but that if she did not, he would goto a relative in Australia, as he could never face it out. Ultimately, before complainant reached 17 years of age, she became the mother of a female child, whose features, Mr Moore asserted, bore a striking, although of course softened, likeness, not only to defendant but to its grandfather, who, besides being a farmer, is a guardian of the poor of the Newport Union. Mr Piews began by cautioning the complainant, a purely wanton act, as Dr Davies (one of the magistrates) pointed out, because the witness was not showing any hostility in her answers. Mr Piews disowned any intention of attempting to frighten complainant. She went to visit her grandmother near WAltshpool, and had also been on a visit to Newmarket, but did not bring bnck a photo or show a Miss Westlake, one of her witnesses, a brooch which had been presented to her whilst she was away. Complainant behaved capitally under Mr Piews' cross-examina- tion, and evidently made a good impression on the bench. A large number of witnesses were pro- duced for the defence. Ultimately the bench (For continuation see next edition.)

I SPORTING ITEMS, I
I SPORTING ITEMS, I Lady Muncaster is in the list of horaes to be sold by private contract. Present Alms was scratched for the Woodeote Stakes at Epsom and the Alexandra Stakes at Harpenden at 9 a.m. on Wednesday. Nina was taken out of her Epsom and Ascot engagements for this season at 9 a.m on Wednes- day. The Grand Two-year-old Stakes at Kempton Park First Summer Meeting of 1889, advertised to close on the 15th inst., did not fill. The Fawn, who was well backed for the Liver- pool Grand National this year, is announced for sale by private contract, together with other horses the property of Lord Cholmondeley. Nearly all the horses at Bedford Cottage are ooughing, Freemason-a very promising two-year- old-from that cause being prevented from competing in the important two-year-old race, the Whitsuntide Plate, at Manchester to-day. Ayrshire was led by Double Entendre in a good pace gallop of a mile on -the Limekilns. The Derby favourite looked and went remarkably well, to the great admiration of the numerous touts, both amateur and professional. Walter Wright was seen to considerable advan- tage at Blackheath, on Wednesday, on behalf of Kent, and he dismissed seven of the Gloucester- shire team, who altogether made 149; Kent having scored 106, for the loss of three wickets, when stumps were drawn for the day. „. El Dorado's defeat in the Breeders' Foal Stakes at Manchester could hardly be correct. The colt is developing a curb, and that might have affected him. Anyhow, he gave nothing like the Portland Stakes form. Fitzraver is coming on every race seems to improve him, and he will grow into a nice horse. Edward Hanlan is apparently 110 discouraged by his defeat, as by the last advices he has since then made the final deposit for his match with Edward Trickett, which will take place at Rock- bampton on June 13. Will this also result in a surprise? According to all previous performances it should be an easy victory for the Canadian. Trayles was wonderfully lucky to defeat Osborue and Aperse. Had the Isonomy Welter to be run over again, he would have been third. Volga was close up with the three, so that the form is not worth much. The annual Derby tip," by the Keeper of tie Match-book, as expressed in the Free Handicap for three-year-olds, run at the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, has been published. On the estimate given, the big Epsom event is a gift for Ayrshire, who has been assigned the top weight of Bit 121b, 10ib in front of Crowberry, Galore, and Orliit, who are all placed on the same mark. We (the Sporting Life) have received numerous letters asking us it there is any truth in the rumour that is going the round of the American Press that Holske, to save John L. Sullivan's re- putation, bribed Jack Baldock (Mitchell's second) to make it a draw. The whole etory is evidently like many others circulated before and after the fight, pure fiction. Our representative, who was at the ringside, and ill Mitchell's corner, says that no private conversation took place between Bal- dock and Holske's alleged accomplices during the fight, and that nobody could have looked after Mitchell's interests more disinterestedly than Baldock, whose conduct was above suspicion. The referee, and others who were at the fight, express the same opinion.

IUNITARIANS AND HOME RULE.
UNITARIANS AND HOME RULE. A numerously attended meeting of Unitarians and Free Christians opposed to the coercive policy of the present Tory Government took place on Thursday in the Memorial-hall, London. Mr F. Nettlefold presided, and those present included Professor Drumrcond, LL.D., Professor Estlia Carpenter, Professor Upton, Revs J. Page Hopps, R, A. Armstrong, Frank Jones, and other well- known gentlemen. Sir James Kitson and Mr J. T. Bruuner wrote approving of tlle objects of the meeting, and regretting their inability to attend. Professor Drummond moved That this meeting of ministers and laity connected with the Unitarian, F'ee Christian, and other non- subsenbinp churches of Great Britain, whosp. adherence to the principles of civil liberty has often been testified, hereby protests against the policy of her Majesty's Government in lrdand-a policy which, so far from procuring respect for law and order, is exasperating the people instead of allaying their discontent, and especially does this meeting condemn the inierference with the right of combination for redress "j grievances, the constani ignoring of the opinions of the large majority of the duly-elect, d Irish representatives, and the infringement; of the of public meeting, and of the freedom of the ores-, as blows struck at the funda- mental principles of civil liberty. The Rev. R. A. Armstroug, of Liverpool, seconded the motion, and. in doing so, said the Liberal party were engaged at present in a struggle not less sacred than that which engaged tho energies of the men of 1688.—The Rev. J. C. Street, of Belfast, in supporting the resolution, s(lid that to him speech 011 this question was costly. Every time he uttered a word apainst coercion or in favour of Home Rule he lost friends and sup- porters. As the result of his attending a meeting about a fortnight ago friends had dropped off and his congregation had been thinned, and he was called almost a traitor tor standing side by side with Catholic priests and laymen in protesting r.gainst coercion, and asking that Ireland should be recognised as a nation. Never had he seen such abject, misery as he saw in Ireland at the present time, and lie traced that condition of things largely to mal-governmeut by an alien country, standing outside and dominating over it. From the day -Nir (x'ladstoiie-(prolontzed cheers)— brought torward his measure of justice, the current of Irish hostility against Englaud had been turned aside, and there had been ever since :ind was now a readiness to respond to every kindly word and deed such as had never bi-en the case in the history of Ireland. (Cheers.) Severe, unconstitutional, tyrannical, and cruel as WUR the Coercion Act, it was a miserable and utter failure. It did not correct but created crime, and criminals were the heroes and the martyrs of their country. (Cheers.)
