) TRAGIC DEATH AT SEA < I I A Horrible Discovery. ) 0 I GALLANT RESCUE. I A SENSATIONAL NARRATIVE. The Press Association's Douglas (Isle of Man) correspondent to-day telegraphs details of the loss ZI the steamer Florence, of Liverpool, 200 tons, oflf the Calf of Man. The Isle of Man steamer Kin g Orry, from Liverpool, was about twenty miles off Douglas, last evening, when the passengers noticed a small object in the water. Captain Ruthven's attention being called, he had the steamer put about, and the ob,iect Was found to be the battered wreck of a steamer's lifeboat, with a man lying apparently lifeless across the stern, with his head almost in the water, and with nothing on except a singlet'and drawers, and nearly black with Exposure. There was another man standing in the boat nearly up to his Waist in water, holding up a boatbook with a pair of oilskin breeches on the end. Some difficulty occurred in lowering a boat from the steamer, but seaman uamed Joseph Neala lowered himself at great risk and fastened a rope around the man's body, and afterwards found the apparently lifeless Corpse. They were hauled on board, and an attempt was made to resuscitate the second toan, but bo died ten minutes after being rescued. The other man recovered on being taken to the hospital. A Subscription was started on board for him, and a Portion was offered to Neale for his bravery, but be refused it, and the whole sum was handed to the survivor of the Florence. A PATHETIC NARRATIVE. Shipwrecked for the Third Time. The Press Association correspondent saw the man, whose name is William O'Neill, and he Rave a narrative of the wreck. Ho said the Florence was in command of Captain Cameron, Scotchman, living in Liverpool, and the left Garston on Wednesday evening. The crew consisted of captain, Wate, two engineers, two firemen, a Iampmau, Cook, and two men before the mast, as well as a Passenger O'Neill did not know. The Florence had a heavy cargo of coal for Belfast. The ship had reached the vicinity of the Calf of Man, and had been between the Calf and the Chicken Light. There Was only the mate and O'Neill on the deck, and the latter went below to trim the binnacle iamp, the mate taking "bis place at the wheel meanwhile. There was heavy rain falling and a dirty sea tunning. When O'Neill returned with the lamp, the second engineer came up and Raid) "She is full aft." O'Neill told the mate, who said, "Not at all." O'Neill ran aft and saw some of the hatches had gone. The mate told him to call the captain, but that was impossible. Tby therefore blew the whistlo and the captain came up. The mate told him the vessel was full aft. The captain looked, and then ordered the boat out. He then took hold of the wheel, but they had not time to get the boat out before the Vessel went down. O'Neil was swimming about in the water for a quarter of an hour before he came across the lifeboat bottom upwards. Another man was also swimming about, and f.hey managed to got on to the keel. They sat on the keel for two days and a night, when the boat tirbted, and they got into her. There was a big hole in her, and she was so low in the Water that passing vessels could not see her. His companion's name was Michael Grace, a native of Dublin. He had terrible time in the boat. He was pulling an oar with O'Neill about two hours before be King Oery picked them up, but he kheu gave up completely exhausted. O'Neill 'laid this was the third time he had been ship- wrecked. Last time he was one of seven saved out of a crew of 49, and on a previous occasion he '*as one of four rescued out of a ,crew of 22.
The Posting of Four Oaks <…
The Posting of Four Oaks < Park Races. "rile announcement in the Racing Calendar on .,I;e default of the Four Oaks Park Company to Comply with the rule of the Jockey Club in the Inatter of the settlement of accounts of the last meeting was much discussed in racing circles yesterday. The suggestion that the failure Was only of an accidental character found little credence in view of the known embarrassments With which the company has bad to contend and Uuless the directors are prepared to make a per- sonal sacrifice, which is scarcely to be oxpected of them, there seems little prospect of the difficulty being met. It is stated that the property of the Company has a heavy mortgage upon it. The pros- pectus of the company was first issued in October, 1879, the capital being £ 100,000, 'in 5,0J0 shares of £20 each, E2 10s of which was payable on aPpiication, a similarsum on allotment, while two further amounts of j62 10s were to be paid 'n respective periods of three and six months after allotment. The remaining balance of £ 10 was to be paid as required by the directors, but at intervals of not less than three months, but it was not expected that taore than JS12 10j per share would be called lip. The prospectus stated the company had beeu started for the purpcse of purchasing Four Oaks Park and establishing race and steeplechase Meetings, athletic sports, polo, and various other amusements. The park comprised about 24) acres of freehold land, beautifully timbered, and Was the ancient seat of the Hartopp family. The Purchase price agreed upon to be paid Sir John tTartopp was £ 60,000. The fortunes of the company fluctuated with varied success for the first few years, and in the 1884 report, which contained a statement of the company's affairs up to the last day of the previous year, the directors said they deeply regretted that the statement showed a de- ficiency on the general revenue and expenditure account. The grounds for coursing purposes bad been laid out, and the directors hoped that when the meetings were better known they would prove iii source of profitable income. The following gear's statement also showed a deficiency on the ftine account, and the directors bad to state their teltret that the working of the company for the past year showed a loss, owing in a great measure, they believed, to the depressed state of trade, but that they had every confidence in the future. The iredult of coursing meetings bad not so far reached their expectations. A new station had been oponod at Four Oaks, from which they anticipated a largely increased attendance of visitors. The Ilext ,ant'. report contained an expression of rrot that the working of the concern showed a loss, arising in great part from writing off the bal- ance of the preliminary expenses, bad debts, and also club subscriptions in arrear. Tho directors Were very disappointed with the result of the Coursing meetings, and were sorry to find that "port was not better appreciated in this district. On the retirement of Mr Sheldon as clerk of the J Coarsa, Messrs Smith and Ford were appointed his successors, and under their management the I Meetings have been continued there seeips, however, to have been no break in the ill-luck Mtot hat attended the vouture, -Birmingham Post, •
Tracing out Jack the Ripper.…
Tracing out Jack the Ripper. I I FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS ARISE IN THE RECENT CLUE. I Dr Forbes Winslow Objects to Being Misrepresented—Are Cieary and the i Dodger One and the Same Person P- I A New Theory. I [FROM THE NEW YORK HERALD. ] The Herald's Jack the It'pper story on I Thursday created a profound sensation throughout the country. It has been quoted in some fifty or sixty London and provincial dailies, some with credit and some without. Immediately it was published the effect became apparent in Wimpole- street, and ever since that hour to the present Dr Forbes Winslow has been inundated with letters I FORBES WINSLOW. I and callers, asking for further information and tendering advice. It would seem that hundreds of men and women have clues which they are morally certain would lead to the speedy capture of the most notorious criminal in the world, while thousands of theories are floating aimlessly in the air. The town rang with the story all Thursday. It was quoted in the train, on the omnibus, on the penny steamboat, and on the pavement, and generally it was regarded as the most important contribu- tion to the Jack the Ripper discussion yet made. Jack" is still at large, and free to con- tinue his diabolical outrages, but His Days of Liberty are Getting Fewer. I The net is being drawn around him, and if he is not tripped by the other man who works with him, his identity is so thoroughly established that nothing short of self-destruction can save him from his pursuers. Some hours after the public had adopted the Herald sensation as the rn0 news story of the day, the representatives of evening and morning papers were sent to Dr Forbes Winslow to got it confirmed. The doctor repeated tho story, and the reporters undertook to put some feathers and wings to it, and in yesterday morning's papers the eminent lunacy specialist is made to say that "two days at the utmost would see the murderer in custody," and that the police will have nothing to do with the capture. I am making arrange- ments to station six men round the spot where I know my man ip, and he will be trapped." The docter avers that he said nothing of the kind. He did not, and does not, regard it as probable that the man will be arrested in two days and he made no reference whatever to stationing six men round thespot where be know the man was. He very naturally complains at being so seriously mis- represented, and thinks such bungling as cal- culated to interfere with the course of justice. Now that the clue has been hinted at, a good many persons are anxious to assist in its develop- ment. Doctors are offering their assistance private detectives want to win the substantial rewards which are to be the prizs of the tinders of the Whitechapel murderer, and many newspaper 11 men wantto be put upon the track, and to take part j in the chase. The clue developed within the last 48 1 hours. It may now be stated with safety that j there is every reason to believe that the East-end j terror (j Had an Accomplice, and his name was j "Dodger." f The man who is aseumed to be "Jack'the Ripper 1 was in the habit of receiving letters and postcards ? from a person who signed himself Dodger." In this connection the whereabouts of John Cleary 5 would be useful just now. Some of the parties in this movement are disposed to associate him with the Dodger." Having road tho description of the man who gave the information to the Herald, on the Sunday before the discovery in Pinchin-lane, they are inclined to think that he is tho man who has been seen in tho company of the alleged "Ripper." This may be only a coincidence still, it is regarded as a remarkable one by many, and notably by a lady who yesterday took part in A Conference on the Subject of the I Murders, This lady, from the first murder to the present, has interested herself in the hue and cry, and made herself personally acquainted with the lead- ing features of the crimes. She had as an amateur detective, and discovered inanyfrm^jjifT cluos, which she has duly communicated to the police, only to be repulsed. Possessing a full knowledge of the clue upon which Dr Forbes Winslow is working, and being a well-known thought-reader, ebe is understood to distinctly affirm a connection botweeu John Cleary and the Dodger." She is convinced that once she sees the murderer she will be able to identify him. This lady has lent valuable aid in the investigation, and is as ardent a believer in the correctness of the clue as is the discoverer. The other parties to the conference included The Man who Lodged the Ubiquitous I "Jack the Ripper." Ha is a youngish man, tall, slightly-built, with a thin face and dark moustache. By trade he is a mechanical engineer. For some time past he has not been troubled with too much work, and, like a good citizen and a patriot, he has devoted his leisure time to searching for his lost lodger. He has now found regular employ- ment, which be starts upon on Monday, and so has handed the tracing of the notorious criminal to others. The II Ripper" lived with this gentle- man about three months. The terror of East End women is described as a gentlemanly kind of fellow. He was well educated, and well off, of a quiet but taciturn disposition, and irregular habits. He frequently went home in the small hours, and when questioned used to say that he bad been out to post letters. He boasted of his surgical knowledge, and told wonderful stories of his modical experience. This gave rise to the bolief that he had been a medical student. He used frequently to advise membors of the family regarding their health, and kuew more about their past ailments than they did themselves. He sometimes referred to America, and spoke of re- turning to that couti try short, y. It'was not thought that ho was an American, but from his knowledge of that country he had undoubtedly visited it. He was often seen prowling about shady quarters, enquiring where this court led to, and where that went, and talking with women of questionable character, treating them in the public-houses, and accompanying them along the streets. The police have been just as much exorcised over this story as the public, but they cannot be got to say what value they attach to it, or what they have done to test its genuineness. One of the Innumerable Cranks I who have found Jack the Ripper called at the Herald office yesterday. He has written a com- plete history of the case, and intends to offer him- self as a witness at the inquest on Tuesday next. I am quite certain I know the man,"he said. I have talked with him many times, and I can show you his photograph whereupon be produced one of Davonet's poems, and pointing to the portrait of George R. Sims said, "That's the man, sir, as near as possible. There you get the contour, sir. My man's face was bronzed, and not quite deathly pale; but travelling would produce that, sir. That's the man, sir.

Mr Spurgeon has recently bad some slight trouble with his old enemy, the gout, but his health on the whole is not unsatisfactory, and he does not think it will be necessary for bim to anticipate his annual visit to Mentone, for which place be will leave in November.

Edward Brooks, of Leamington, a poacher, was shot on Thursday evening near that town by an Off church farmer named Russell, who met him at ten o'clock poaching on his fields. Tho deceased and bis companion sot. their dog at Russell, and both threatened to kill him. They were armed with bludgeons, and in self-defence Russell shot Brooks, the charge entering his groin. Russell went home and fetched a lantern and searched for Brooks, who, at six o'clock yesterday morning, was found a rolls from the scene of the encounter and died while being conveyed to the inn: Brooks's companion took off the injured man's coat and sent it to Mrs Brooks, but did not tell her her husband had been wounded. A neigh- bouring farmer on Friday night saw a man lying near a hedge close to the place of the rtrug gle, and was attacked by Brooks's dog. Fearing there was a gang of poachers in the locality he did not follow up the pursuit. The dog was found besido. Brooks yesterday morning. The event has created a great sensation in the neighbour- hood Russell being much respected. He did not give information to the police till after finding the body.
A GREAT LONDON BREAD UNIONI
A GREAT LONDON BREAD UNION I The Bread Union, Limited, has been formed as an amalgamation of the London and County Bread Company, the London and Westminster Bread Company, and the Metropolitan District Bread Company, which together control 277 old-established businesses and mills deriving a net profit of £ 91,000 per annum. Tho combination of companies so extensive must necessarily be a very powerful one and it is estimated that a uniform profit of one- balfpennyon each 41b loaf will be sufficient to pay dividends at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum. The businesses are already highly remunerative, but the directors state that the object of the Union is not to unduly raise the price of bread to the detriment of the consumer, but to maintain it at a remunerative figure by securing a large number of shops in the metropolitan districts. The prospectus has not yet been iSRued, but it has been decided to fix the yet been issued, in 100,000 shares of JM each. capital at L500,000 100,000 shares of £5 each.

Some Local Football Captains.…
Some Local Football Captains. —— —— To-day we are enabled to furnish our readers with the portraits of the selected captains of the four leading Welsh Football Clubs, together with a short history of their career on the field. Re- doubtable players each of them, and thoroughly conversant with the game, it may be taken for granted that, under their leadership, the premier exponents of what has now become the most popular of our national games will, in the ccming season, give as good an account of themselves as they have always done in the past. I MR C. S. ARTHUR (CARDIFF). It says volumes for the popularity of Charley Arthur-the preHx Mr sounds too formal pre? cediD the name of.so good a fellow-that he has been placed in the proud position of captain of the fa- mous Cardiff Club by the unanimous desire, not merely of the members them- selves, but of the entire football-lov- ing section of the town. When, just before the recent annual meeting, other rren and popular men, too- were named for the captaincy, it was made unmistakeably clear that Charley, and Charley only, would stand a chance. Apart from the high esteem in which he is held, be had fairly earned the distinction, seeing that he is now the oldest surviving player in the first team. He first learned the game when a boy at school, at New- ton College, South Devon, aud soon found his way into the first fifteen, as a three-quarter— a position in the field, by-the-way, he has occupied ever since. Even in those early days be took part in some good matches, his school opposing such teams as Tiverton, Teignmoutb, Plymouth, and Westward-Ho. In 1879 he carried off the Athletic Challenge Cup of the College, winning 12 out of 13 events in the sports of that year. On leaving Newton be played for Winchester, Dorchester, and Cheltenham, and on several occasions for Cardiff, to which latter town his father, the Rev W. L. Arthur, B.A., had removed. Once while at school at Cheltenham he came to the assistance of the Cardiffians, and by his fine play materially contributed to the defeat of the far-famed public school there. He did not, however, formally join the Cardiff Club till the commencement of tljeever- memorableseasonoi 1885-6, whenheatonce became one of the brilliant quartette of three-quarters who, led by the wily Hancock, did so much to gain for the team, before the season closed, the proud title of the Invincibles." From some of the last matches, however, he was absent, bavins removed to Carmarthen, to take up a mastership at the Grammar School. For the Carmarthen Club he did great things during his stay, and while acting as captain, in 1886 7, raised the club into more prominence than it had ever before enjoyed, at the same time that he con- trived, in several important matches, to lend valuable aid to his old team. Relinquishing his appointment at Carmarthen, he returned home to Cardiff before the following season set in, and since then has rarely missed a match. Often picked as a reserve he on two occasions actually found his way into the International ranks, playing for Wales v. Ireland at Dublin in 1387, and for Wales v. the Maoris at Swansea last Christmastide. He has also played for South Wales, Last season he acted as vice- captain of his team, an office he filled with re- markable success. Throughout his career Charley has been a most prolific try-getter. A fine sprinter-more than one prize has fallen to him on the track-he 11 fields" the ball with marvellous dexterity, and rarely misses a pass or a possible I chance of scoring. If be has a fault, it is that lie does not kick enough. This, however, is a fault shared in by the whole team, who affect a running rather than a kicking game, and sometimes carry it to excess. All round his play is characterised by extreme unselfishness, and his club record is a really brilliant one. Charley at present holds an appointment in the secretary's dlice of the Taff Vale Railway Co. He is about 24 yesrs of age, is 5ft 6in in height, aud weighs about 10it 8;b. MR W. BOWEN, SWANSEA. I Mr W. Bowen, who will captain the Swansea Foot- ball Club, iir8t figured in football circles as a member of the Swansea Junior Club. Iils first appearance for Swansea was at Neath, when the former played Llanelly in a cup tie in 1882. He attained interna- tional honours in 1886, appearing Against EUlllandat Blackheath and Scotland at Cardiff, lIe has siuce regularly found a place as a representative of Wales. Boweu is 27 years of age, and is about 5 feet 10 inches in height and weighs nearly 13 stone. He is a sterling forward, a bard scrim- mager, runs strongly and is very fast. He is also a sure and determined tackier. He is very popular with Swansea football players and spec- tators, and his elevation to the captaincy augurs well for the future prospects of the 1st XV. MR C. GRAHAM, NEWPORT. I Mr Thomas C. Graham, the new captain of the New. port First Fifteen, is comparatively an un- tried man, but what little the local vota- ries of the winter game have seen of bim has been emi- nently to his credit, and he has all tho promise of develop- ing into a worthy successor of New. man, and Lyne, and T. J. S. Clapp. Like Theodore Harding. his immediate predecessor, Mr Graham is a hard- working forward, of sterling quality, and un- flinching in the scrimmage. He commenced playing with the Newport Second Fifteen in the season of 1886-7, and soon became their leader. Here he remained, obtaining good results for his team, until the visit to Blackheath last season, when the Newport first, fiuding them- selves short of a man, invited him to take the place. In this match he greatly assisted to snatch a hard-earned victory from the redoubtablo Londoners, literally on their native heath, and consequently was enrolled in full football hustings as one of the first fifteen. On several occasions since ho has distinguished himself, and if fortune favours his leadership, there will be some good results to chronicle during the forthcoming foot- ball calendar. Mr Graham is only 23, is 6ft. lin, in height, and scales 12st. 81b. J MR TOM JONES, LLANELLY. Mr Tom Jones, captain of Llanelly Football Club, was born at Thomas-street, Llan. elly, fand is now 128 years of age. He was educated at the Athe- naeum School, Llan- elly. He is 5 feet 9 inches in theight and weighs 10 stone 5 lbfl. He f bas played for- ward in the JLlanelly Ist XV. for the last ten years. Mr Jones is fa very genial sort of follow and exceed. ingly popular in the town generally. A LAD KILLED AT BLAEN- CLYDACH. On Thursday evening a yonng lad named James Jones was killed by a heavy fall of debris in the Blaenclydach pit. Death was instantaneous. The body was fearfully mangled, especially about the head. Deceased lived with his father, Thomas Jones, a bailiff, at Clydach Vale-road.

CARDIFF REVISION COURT.
CARDIFF REVISION COURT. Closing Proceedings. Mr Howeil Jeffreys, Revising Barrister for the Borough of Cardiff, sat this morning at the Towu- hall for the completion of the revision of the voters' lists. The work was purely of a formal character. At the conclusion Mr George David, Conservative agent (whose turn it was to do so), formally moved a vote of thanks to the Revising Barrister for the kind manner in which ho had conducted the court, and for the kindness be had shown him and his assistants. Mr R. N. Hall, on hohalf of the Liberals, joined in the expression of thanks for the kind- ney, courtesy, and forbearance of the Revising Barrister, and Etated that he recog- nised and appreciated his absolute fairness and impartiality. The liberal arrangements he had made with regard to evening sittings had given great satisfaction in the borough, and especially to the leaders of the Libera) party. Every voter had had full opportunity of attending, and they bad taken advantage of it by claiming in larger numbers than in any previous years. He also thanked the overseers for the assistance rendered by them. Of course, oversears were not invulner- able, especially in a large town like Cardiff, but thc-y bad done their work exceptionally well, (Hear, hear.) He was always delighted with the prospect of the revision court, and always felt a pang of regret when they reached this stage of the proceedings. (Laughter.) Mr Thomas Collins, representing the Roman Catholic Registration Association and the local braaches of the Irish National League, also bore tesfomony to the great satisfaction the Revising Barrister had given. The Revising Barrister, in reply, thanked the gentlemen who had spoken for their very kind expressions of opinion towards himself. He acknowledged the great assistance that he bad received from the political agents in the arduous woik of the revision in Cardiff. Even now the register was not perfect, but he would venture to say that no town in the United Kingdom possessed a register of voters so nearly approaching perfection as that of the Borough of Cardiff. He also expressed his appre- ciation of the able manner in which each of the political agents bad represented their party in the court. This concluded the proceedings.
I A Greenock Tragedy. I
I A Greenock Tragedy. I MURDER OF A SWEETHEART. I A Greenock ccrrespoodent telegraphsA dreadful tragedy was discovered at Greenock this afternoon. The dead bodies of a young; man and young woman were found in a garden at Caddie Hill, both having evidently been killed by means of a revolver. The body of the young woman was covered with lfowers, and the body of the jouug man was near by in a kneeling position. A six- chambered revolver was lying at his side, two of the chambers being empty. It appeared as though the man first shot the wcman. and then committed suicide. The police were at once in- formed of the discovery, and the bodies were soon identified as those of Andrew S. Walker and his sweetheart, a young woman named Holmes, daughter of a Greeuock carpenter. They had been keeping company for several years. It is stated that Walker lost his situation some weeks ago.
A Big Bakery at Newport.
A Big Bakery at New- port. A New Bread and a Professional I Opinion. "This is where the flour is blended," said a gentleman this morniug, stacdiug at the side of a moderate-sized room, partitioned off from the rest of a loft which contained avenues of sacks of fl<iur. We seldom make bread from one kind of flour • it is all blended. For instance, here is a package of milled flour from Minnesota which costs per sack. Other qualities of flour range in price down to a guinea. This is called American patent then there are three other sorts, namely, leather tie, plain tie, and household thllr. The secret of good bread is in the blend, and in the detection of the precise moment of fermentation of the dough. The speaker was Mr Chas. Collier, proprietor of the Decker Oven Machine Bakery, Newport, and his visitor was an Echo representative. Then the latter saw how it was that no foreign substances could possibly get into the bread, because of the seutinel on guard in the blending bin beneath the lift which deposited the contents of the sack in the bin examined the patent hoist; the engine- driven, mixer; the process by which the bread is weighed before beidc, delivered to the ovens the elaborate arrangements for the filtering and the storage of water, lest the waterworks officials should be up to tricks; and lastly the splendidly- arranged ovens, which may be briefly de- scribed as hot air chambers, where the dough gets a temperature of over 400 degrees of heat, applied eoually above, below, and I at the sides, and is compelled into nut-brown crusts done to a "turn." No burnt bread is possible. The bakers had just got cut a batch of bread, and arranged on towering framef, resembling dinner wagons, the hot crusts were being cooled. livery sort of loaf almost was in evi- dence, from giant eight pounders, made for special order, down to the one-pound batch cake which appears at fi ve-o 'clock teas in villa drawing rooms. "Yes," said Mr Collier, we have a large output. This lot is about one thousaud quarterns, and there are three hundred more to go into the ovens. Ibat is our Saturday supply. The furnaces, fed from the outside, are out now, ks the place is warm enough, The weekly make is from 10,000 to 15,000 loaves .and from 12 to 15 tons of flour are cousoumed. The winter consumption is from two to three tons more than it is in summer, but it fluctuates even in summer. For instance, a wet and c >ld week in Julyjlaat sent up the consumption by ten sacks. Warm weather causes a drop, and we have to be guided by each day's demand." "Yoa don't get sour bread in hot weather, do you ?" S>ur bread is caused, not as is generally supposed, from barl fl.)ur, but from over- fermentation. The ripeness of the dough is the thing the master baker looks after it is all a question of experience no amount of science can compass it, because the temperature varies almost daily, and the water used in mixing has to be chilled or heated accordingly. What bothers us most is the different kinds of bread. We make four qualities. Our last contract with the Union aut,hotities was at 3i I per quartern, but we make sixpenny bread. In this we have lately intro- duced a patent process, which sweetens the bread and gives it a cutty lfavour. We are on the lookout for consumers' opinion about this, for it is highly recommended as increasing the nutritive quality. What do you think of the syndicate now being formed to buy up the 300 London bakeries will it not tend to create a mouapoly and perhaps raise the price and lower the quality of bread?" Well, no a large place like London would never submit to a monopoly, and any attempt to raise prices would be iustantly met by competition. No doubt the quality of the bread made will be .improved, because a large concern will adopt improved methods. But I don't think they will get 20 per cent. on a profit of a halfpenny per quartern. There is not margin enough for losses by b-td buying of flour and bad debts. The cash principle will beip, no doubt. There was Neville, the London baker. He started life as a journeyman baker, and died lately worth a quarter of a million. His plan was to sell each delivery cartload to the man, who then trusted customers or not as he saw fit." I —
I - - -THE MARIE ROZE COMPANYI…
THE MARIE ROZE COMPANY AT NEWPORT. The local concert season was commenced at the Albert Hall, Newport, last evening, with Madame Marie Rose's Opera Company's first appearance. The prima donna was iu her best voice, and sang with her usual charm and grace, being especially happy in the transitions from Italian opera to such old friends as Coming through the Rye," and 'Twas within a r.Itle of Edinboro' Town.' Her example of conceding an encore whenever the audience persistently demanded it was fol- lowed by her colleagues, Mdlle. Carlotta Desvignes, contralto Mr Durward Lely, tencr Mr Andrew Black, baritone and Signor Simo- netti, the violinist. Mr Lely's first essay was Donizetti's ai in, "Uua furtiva lagrina," and then as an encore "Sally in our Alley." His marvellous intonation in this familiar song charmed all hearts, and placei bim upon the highest pedestal as one of the best tenors who nave delighted a local audience. Mr Andrew Black's Toreador s song from Carmen also elicited warm favour, and in combinanion, the two gentlemen gave Btaham's "All's Well." Signor Simonetti excelled in a rondo capriccioso and in Schumann's Garten nielodie," and Signor Bisaccia, one of the best and most sympathetic of accompanyists, threw Jin, bracketted with a mazurka, a senti- mental composition for the pianoforte of his own characteristic of subdued, rippling music, and the very antithesis of the forte passages and thunder- ing chorda which often pass muster for harmony. The audience was most inspiriting. The newly- decorated hall was filled in every part, and looked at its best. Messrs Harse and Co., the local decorators, have certainly scored by the way in which they have laid on rich tints and evolved harmonies of colour where before were arid spaces of plaster and unsightly builder's work. Some drapery at the rear of the orchestra, to ccvar the skeleton benches designed for choruses, was the only detail left to be compassed, but doubtless this would come when the new approach to the ball from Commercial-street is finished.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT CARDIFF…
SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT CAR- DIFF DOCKS. A singular and serious accident occurred at 1 the pier head, Cardiff, this afternoon. Between twelve and one o'clock an excursionist, whose uame has not transpired, but who is believed to be a collier from the Rhondda, was sitting on the iron railings which protect the jetty, and was playing with one of his children, when he accidentally slipped and fell a distance of about 20ft., alighting on the stones below. He sustained a very serious scalp wound and injuries to bis shoulder and back. He was picked up by a Bute Docks con. stable and removed to the surgery of Dr Treasure, who recommended his removal to the infirmary. He declined, however, to go there, and was accordingly conveyed in a cab to the railway station at Cardiff, with a view to his removal borne. I

-- I THE SWANSEA BOUNDARIES.…
THE SWANSEA BOUNDARIES. I Meeting of the Borough Committee. At the Town-hali, Swansea, on Friday, a meet. ing of the Borough Boundary Committee wa held in accordance with a recommendation of the boundary commissiomer to consider the uames of the new wards and the procedure to be adopted with respect to the retiring members of the wards as they formerly existed. It was resolved that the wards be denominated as follow :—Morriston, Landore, St John's, lirynmelin, Alexandre, Fiyaone, Oastle, Victoria, St. Helen's, and the East. It was further resolved that tbe present members retain their seats as follow:- Morriston, Mr Edwards; Landore, Mr W. Thomas St. John's, Mr Monger (who retiresthns year); Brynmelin, Messrs Martin and Francis; Ffynone, Messrs Tutton (who retires this ysar) and Mr J. A. Thomas Castle. Mr Maliphant,and Mr Mason (who retires this year), Alexandra, Messrs Francis (who retires this year), and cbapmtili t. Helen's, Messrs Pike (who retires this year) and R IwiilJ: Victoria, Messrs Glasbrook and Rocke; East, Messrs Burnie (who retires this year), W. Lewis, and D. Thomas. The aldermen were appor. tioned all folit)w :-Landore., Alderman Freeman; St John's, Alderman Daniel; Ffynone, Alder. man Jones; Castle, Alderman Tulloch St Helen's, Alderman Rees St Thomas, Alderman Lewis. The Commissioner (Mr Cre&swell) said there would have to be an election in each ward every year, and the present members would have to retire by seniority, whether their terms had expired or not, so that there would be a vacancy in every ward, including those which under the division of wards had been given their full com- plement of seats. He would take the order of retirement into consideration. In order to give inhabitants of the Morriston, Landore, and St John's wards, which include those recently added to the borough, an opportunity of expressing their voice ('D the council at tbe earliest opportunity, each of these will be allowed to elect two new members at tbe next election in addition to the one who retires (Mr Monger in j the St. John's Ward). The order of retiring will be regulated by the expiration of tbe term of the present members and the position on the pole of the newly elected ones. In the other wards one new member will be elected next November 'but where old members' terms have expired there will be two vacancies to be tilled. The committee decided by 11 iotes to 3 to take from the East Ward and add to theJMorriston Ward that portion of the former ward which lay above the Great Western main line. This will have the effect of greatly decreasing the rateable value of tbe East Ward, as some important works are transferred f cyni the East to the Morriston Ward.

WHAT WELSHMEN THINK.
WHAT WELSHMEN THINK. A Summary of the Welsh Prase [By Al-)OLYGYY)D.] THE LESSONS OF THE STRIKE. Y j.y it a v Dydd Tue Wanes* and the Day/ C.utf.rg.ui. iiai) says Several things hav turned up in connection with the to which it would be well to direct attention at we regard them as tokens 0? good import. Oneo- these is the abiii;y the men have displayed tt defend their rights and tc stand firmly together, The people themselves understand what thew- want, and have been faithtul to each other i; their demands. Though the strikers in thit in-tance belong to the lowest type of the working classes, the most illiterate among them and the most improvident, yet they afford a st ikibg instance of the p..wer possessed by the manses to stand out for their rights in case of need and the fact that they have done so without, having recourse to outrage or pillage of any kind add. to the credit due to them. There is here certainly an importaut lesson to the authorities—that the people will no longer be treated as slaves. They have come to ULiaerstand thsir strength, and to know they only need to stand firmly together to secure tl-oir rights. The sympathy shown with tha strikers is another good sign. As a rule people abstain from interfering, and perhaps wisely so, in disputes between capital and labour. The present instance, however, is an exception. Many good men feJt called upon to mediate and endeavour to bring the quarrel to a peaceful and satisfactory issue, and many of them took no pains to conceal where their sympathies lay. And though most ot the strikers belonged to a class who, unfor- tunately, have little sympathy with religion, and though many of them have beeu led by infidel Socialists, yet after ail, who but religious leaders and ministers of the gospel should take the lead in pleading the cause of the oppressed, and to remove from their shoulders the yoke and the rod (if the oppressor? There can be no doubt this sympathy in the present instance greatly assisted the, can- ,f the inen." Y Goleiiid (" The Light,* Calvinistic Methods) comments upen the views taken of the strike by continental ppsrs, and sees in those comments a rrfl- x of the attitude of the countries from which they emanate on tha creat social problem of the relations of capital and labour. Toe princ pies of liberty are incomparably better understood in Russia than they are in Germany. The German pap>rs see nothing but tiie revolutionary and socialistic aspect of the strike, and couspquently teerard it as a thing t) be stamped out. Ttns is entirely in harmony with German p olicy. But in Russia the question was thoroughly understood. There tbe strike was regarded as one of the natural productions of civil Ii Derty ftnrl popular govern me-nt-ii (it a thing to he i'e»red, but as a safeguard against revolution. We trunt that a people who so thoroughly understand the principles of liberty will not long be debarred the enjoyment of that libortv themselves." Gioaha (" Wales," Conservative) rejoices in the r-iy heip giveu by public men unconnected with busiu?8!:1 in bringing the opposing parties together. It was shown h jw by arbitration endless troubies and evils may be averted and above all it was shown that there exists a greater readiness than of old among masters and men to com" to a mutual understanding and to meet each oth-r in « fnir and Ju-t- spirit. Yr Herald Cymraen (" The Welsh Herald," Liberni) dilutes up'in the financial cost of the strike, and says it illustrates in a remarkable mariner the mauy-,id"d evils caused by strikes. It will tr.ke mauy years for even opulent London to efface the trscs of the immense loss caused by only four weeks interruption of the ordinary com- merce of the port. THE WELSH MEMBERS. Most of the p 'pors publish tt:e tabulated statB- mont of the «ti-en-Juices ot the Welsh members. r Genedl Gyinreig ("The Welsh Nation," Nationalist), win eh claims to have the largest circulation of ain7 vernacular paper, has a strong leader on the shortcomings of our representatives, and conies to tha conclusion that it would be an undoubted benefit if Wales werf represented by men not possessed of wealth. It. would be nifScult to find, among the Liberal m.i»'ei in an eqti,,tl viuiiber el men who woulci display such a want of readiness, heedlessness, unwilling- ness, and downright hostility as has been shown by the present y' elsh members. We. demand, and we will have, men of strong- orinciuies whe can be depended upon, for the times demand that the cowards should be sent about their business." It is of opinion that the only remedy is to have paid members. The Baiiei- ioliows suit, and after enumerating some of tiie attractions of parliamentary life to our present representatives, it says "The work of legislating for the nation is too important to be allowed to become a matter of spcond consideration by any oi our rei)resents tives and we believe it is impossible to find suitable men to perform the/r work with that fidelity which their duties demand unless they receive payment for tbose sel vices from the national exchequer. In addition to this, farmers, mechanics, and common labourers cannot be ex- pected to support representatives to attend to their peculiar interests except in this way, as the following facts abundantly prove. Titers are only ten representatives of the farming interest for the whole ot the kindom in the present Parliament, one for an English constituency, two for Scotti>h -ADd seven for Iri-1, constituencies, while there are no fewer than 209 landowners 1" THE WELSH NATIONAL COUNCIL. The W^lsh National Council is again made tbe nhj"c" of comment in some of the papers. The Goleuad devotes its first leader to it. It declarex tiie country to be dissatisfied with the council ss it is at present, and that one reason tor this dis- satisfaction is that the people are tired of resolu- tions and are longing ior action. "The country expects the council to lead in the battle; but hitherto its members bave borne more the appearance of the officials of a war office, sitting on their cushioned seats, than generals in the heat of battle. The Land League has done quietly and without noise far more than the council has done with all its promises. We must have members of the council pr?pared to back up their resolutions effectively uefore ever tbe country will believe they have a right to the important posts they fill. The council must be brorgiit into closer touch with the cuntry it must devote its whole attention to find a w^y to work and it must be made the centre of that work instead of the centre of resü]utiau,. ii
IA CARDIFF GIRL'S FRE,,",K.…
A CARDIFF GIRL'S FRE,K. Stealing a Child from Bristol. On Friday, at Bristol police-court, Margaret Jones, a young woman of respectable appearance, was charged that she, being tbe servant of Mr John Taylor, Clyde-road, Clifton, did steal B4. his property, and the was also charged with stealing a child, ten years of age, the son of Mr Tayior. The evidence showed that on Tuesday night Aubrey, the cii;ld., went to bed, and the prisoner went snordy afterwards. The next morning she was missed, snd aft erwarda the boy, Information was giveu to the police, and in consequence of what Mrs Taylor heard, she and her daughter on Thursday morning went to Cardiff. Whilst in Cardiff Miss Tayior caught sight of the little boy in a pleasure break with the prisoner. The break stopped, and Alre Taylor and her daughter get up and drove with the prisoner and the boy until they came to a police officer, and the prisoner was then given into custody, and subsequently brought back to Bristol.—The Clerk asked what was the motive of the girl for committing the offence.—Mrs Taylor said that she believed the prisoner wanted to go to America, because she bad once a-ked her if she could go. She had friends living at Cardiff, and with the money she had taken she purchased jewellery for herself, and cigarettes and other things for tbe boy. The child went with her because be wanted to see Cardiff. The girl was always very kind to him.—Detective Blacker proved that he went to Cardiff and took the girl into custody. In answer to the charge tbe prisoner said that the little boy askod the night before if he should go away with her, and she replied that ho should. He then went and got his things ready and returned to her bedroom. She startod away at half-past five on Wednesday moruinp, aod intended to get a place at Cardiff, and put tbe boy out as an errsnd boy. She had formerly lived at Ferndale.-The magistrates sentenced the prisoner to three months1 imprisonment.

IMysterious Affair in London.
I Mysterious Affair in London. A BODY TO BE EXHUMED. The Press Association understands that a mysterious case is engaging the attention of the authorities. Early this month a gentleman died in South Kensington, and was buried at Wokiug. His wife did not communicate with his friends until after his death, and his brothers not being satisfied with the certificate of the cause of death, which was ascribed to Bright's disease and urinal convulsions, communicated with the Home Secretary, who, it is understood, has granted an order for the exhumation of the body. I This will take place to-day. It is stated that deceased, who was possessed of property to the extent of £50,000, had for some months lived unhappily with his wife, who :00 one occa- sion struck him violently and caused him to leave the house. After this he did not go back to live with her for some time, but ultimately did so. During the present summer the husband and wife went on the continent, returning to London the first week of this month. Shortly after their re- turn the husband became delirious and died, and subsequent enquiries set on foot by the relatives have resulted in the present action. The Central News learns that a case of mys- terious death, strangely resembling in its initial stages that of Mr Maybrick, has been under the consideration of the Secretary of State. Deceased, a gentleman of very considerable wealth and social standing, had lived unhappily with his wife, but some mocths ago the couple became reconciled. Early this month the gentleman died under circumstances which aroused the sus- picions of his brothers. They declined to accept as satisfactory the medical certificate as to the cause of death, and communicated with tb", Home Secretary, with the result that the body is to be exhumed forthwith for further examination and analysis. FURTHER DETAILS. LONDON, Midnight. From inquiries made to-night in South Ken- sington, it transpires that deceased was well kaown in club and sporting circles. He is described as a gentleman, though at times reserved, yet of an impetuous character. He was about 5tt. 6in. In height, with dark complexion and hair, and was exceedingly particular in bis attire. Ho is stated to have had L5,000 a year in his own right, and lived a steady, sober life. Ho frequently drove out with his wife, and his equipage and well-matched pairs were much admired in the West End. He returned to town from Ostend with his wife on the morning of the 6th inst., and was then apparently in good health. Later in the day deceased was seen out driving, but at nine be was taken ill, and afterwards kept his bed. A nurse was engaged, and she continued in attendance upon him until his death, which occurred about six o'clock on the morning of Monday, the 9th inst. Just before his death the nurse is said to have awakened deceased's wife, who paid she would be down in a few minutes, but it is stated that it was a quarter ot an hour before she arrived. The nurse met her at the door of the sick chamber and informed her that the worst bad happened. She replied, Well, it can't be helped," or words to that effect, and returned to her bed- chamber. On the Monday the corpse was placed in a leaden shell, and on Tuesday coffined, and removed quietly the same evening. On Wednes- day it was interred at Woking Cemetery. The whole affair is stated to have been attended with such scant ceremony that suspicions were aroused amongst friends of the deceased. The suddenness of his death, the speedy disposal of the body, and the secrecy observed throughout excited ominous conjecture locally. But beyond this nothing transpired. Deceased was about 32 years of age, and his wife was, perhaps, 10 years his senior. It is stated she had been twice previously married. LATEST PARTICULARS. I The Press Association says that from further information received this morning concerning the gentleman whose body is to be exhumed by order of the Home Secretary at Working, it appears that he was married in March, 1886. Itninedia tely afterwards the intercourse between his brothers was broken off until April last, when he went to his brother's house late at night and stated that his wife had knocked him down and ill-treated him. He certainly bore marks of ill-treatment, and for a time he lived apart from his wife, but subse- quently returned to her. They went to Ostend in August last, and re- turned to England on the 4th inst. Shortly afterwards the husband became delirious, and died m the course of four days. None of bis relations were communicated with until after his death, although one of his brottiers livod within a short distanco 'of him. A certificate of the cause of death was given by a neighbouring physician, who certiffed that the cause was Bright's disease, and urinal convulsions. Tho deceased gentleman's relatives endeavoured to abtain an inter- view with the physician, but did not succeed, ad they then decided upon a post-mortem ex- amination, A physician was engaged, and his enquiries led them to approach the Home Secre- tary, who had commuuicated with the coroner. The body will be examined by an independent physician to-day.

) Church and Stage. -
) Church and Stage. THE EXTERIOR OF ST. JOHN'S, CARDIFF. I A Protest. We have received the following communication from a correspondent who signs himself Zealous Churchman ":— Permit me to express through your columns tho relief felt by me, and shared by many Churchmen of this town, at the removal of the boarding round St John's Church. I am not a heated bigot, and quite see the necessity of submitting a sacred edifice to the usual requirements attending build- ing operations. But my mind has been greatly exercised whether the bonds which con- nect the Church with the people should include advertising their places of amusement. I refer to the b;ils which covered the boarding with placards announcing coming performances at music balls and detailing, with all the glaring and lurid effects of the painter's brash, the horrors of London life as expressed in the drama Saved from, the Streets. There was once, I know, a strong ounectiou between the Church and Drama. They stand in the relation of mother and child. But the child has proved obstreperous and unruly, and has long since been cut off without a shilling. It struck me that a casual visitor to the town, when seeing the programme of the Empire Palace of Varieties, side by side with that of the Church Congress, might deem them to be rival attractions, and that tho Vicar was indulgent enough to allow bis flock to take their choice. I do not care to see Miss Mane Loftus competing with tba Archbishop of Canter- bury, although, for cught I know, she may be a very estimable lady. I admire the Vicar's cosmo- politan tastes, but I think that they may be extended too far. Besides, the intimation in both cases that there are two performances, or two sets of meetings, may lead those who are wont co scoff to suggest some latent rivalry. I conclude that the affection which the Church naturally extends to Unionism might bean excuse tor thus allowing the "Empire "to be advertised on a Church wall. The integrity of the .Empire, especially at popular prices, is indeed a laudable object. But this excuse can scarcely bold in the case of the two theatres. I do not mind the Church extending her protecticn to auctioneers, who are occasionally none the worse for it, to Pears' soap, on account of the propinquity of cleanliness to a certain purely moral virtue, and even to railway trips. But the thoughtless might think, when seeing the advertisements of these places of amusement, that the Church had placed her imprimatur upon them, and allowed and even exhorted good parishioners to attend them. Indeed, the whole affair reminds me of the chapel which was built over a spirit vaults, and upon which a certain unholy scribe wrote this verse :— 'Ibere's a spirit above And a spirit below, A spiriv of lovrt And a spirit of woe. But the spirit above Is the spirit (liviiie; And the spirit below Is the spirit of wine. With the same feeling I should not care to have it thought that the orgau and the sweet-voiced choristers were counter-attractions to the augmented band" and the troupe of star artistes which appear elsewhere. Therefore, I am glad, as I said, that the hoard- ings vere yesterday removed, and nothing appears to hide the view of the grand now pile out. ad vertisemeuls of the forthcoming congress.
