THE NEWPORT VOLUNTEER AND THE DOMESTIC. At the Newport Town Hall to. day, John Dick- man Dark, clerk and rifle volunteer, was sum- moned to show cause, etc., by Rose Nethercot, a domestic. Mr Frank Lewis espoused the com- plainant's cause and Mr Jones, barrister, was for the putative father. The defendant and his mother occupied a suite of rooms at the Bridge House, Artillery-place, New- port Bridge, and the complainant was servant to Mrs Johns, the landlady of the premises. The acts of familiarity extended from Christmas, LJ-O9, to the 15th April, 1890. At the end of Septemoer before the Christmas, she was in the kitcnen, and defendant came in. She answered tne front door, and he was making improper overtures when his IN KIER, who was upstairs, went q nietly down and opened the kitchen door. She ordered her son IM-tiirs, and, turning to complainant, said: "How d?re You tiirt with my son; don t 11e- me see you t.?k.ng to him l\gain," Next m?-ni? ?r. D.rk comp?.ined to Mrs John and on ? sub.-eqnent occ?.on ML?s Louisa. John?s. her (?u?'hter, interrupted defen?'?nt and com- p'a.In?nt whilst they were t?kin? in the p?age of the house. She was not left in the houe tgain on "unday morning without one of her mistresses bejn nt home. SHE-afterwards left to Keep house for a brother at Bristol when his wife died, and on her return to Newport went to defendant's with A married sister, and asked him what he was goin to do about the child, which she was carry- FUA in her arms. Defendant replied, "I do not intend to do anything. It is a proof it is not my child by the time you have been in Bristol. MIE replied that the baby was born (on the 9th ot January of the present year) very soon after sue GOT to Br¡"tol, and that. she should summon him. He rejoined that he had put the matter in the kmds d hlS lawyer. This had reference to a previous reqvtost AS to what he was eomg to do, &c. Mr Lewis relied on the decided case, Cole v. Man- (if anterior facts were material, and called Mrs Dark with the view of proving THE case against her son. The case was before the Bench on the 1st June last, when it WAS dismissed for want of corroboration.- The Bench, after a lengthened hearing, adjudged the defendant to be the father of the chiid, and made all order upon him for the payment of 3s per week until the chiid shall have reached the age of 14. They also directed him to pay costs, including medical attendance and solicitor's fee. »

THROWING STONES AT THE TELEGRAPH WIRES. At the Cardiff police-court, this afternoon—be- j fore Mr L. M. Browne two boya named, Predei-ick Baggett and Edgar liallett were summoned for th rowing stones at the telegraph wires in Corporation-road. Mr Ingledew ap- peared to prosecute on behalf of Messrs J. B. Sanders and Co., who own most of the wires in Cardiff. P.C. Beetle gave evidence chat on the 5ch of September he was on duty in Corporation road, where he had been ordered to keep a careful look-out for offenders of this description, and about two o'clock m the afternoon he saw the two boys throwing slofces at a telegraph-post and insulators, He did not see any of the insulators struck with the stones, but on examining them afterwards discovered that there were eight of them broken. When charged with the offence the boys said they were only throwing at the post.—Mr Browne asked if any injury had been done to the post.—Mr Ingledew There was a technical injury, sir. We have no proof that the insulators were actually broken by the boys, but they were throwing stones in that direction, which leads to that assumption.—Mr Thompson, manager for Messrs Sanders & Co., said they had been subjected to great annoyance and difficulty owing to the destruction of insulators in this pare of the town, there being about thirty of them broken at the present time, There was no evidence to show that the lads had hit :myth;n but the telegraph-post when stone throwing, so that Mr Browne said he did not think he could legally convict either of them. He warned them, however, to abstain from throwing stones in future.—Mr Ingledew said that in future they would have to employ A detec- tive in Corporation-road, as they had done with success in other partsof the district.

THE NEWPORT LABOURER'S WIFE ON HER DEFENCE. An amusing revelation of life in Mellon's- sireet, one of the poorest thoroughfares of New- port, was made at Newport Town-hall to-day.— P.C. David Thomas said that he spent an hour on Saturday evening in the vain endeavour to pacify Mary Ann Bennett, the young wife of a dock labourer, who had broken all the win- dows (13 or 14 panes) and smashed all the furni- ture. She threw the baby to her husband, and if he had not caught it the infant would probably have been seriously hurt.—" What had the husband done to her V asked the ma, clerk. "I could not say that the husband had done anything," replied the officer. Defendant, carefully keeping in her arms with every indica- tion of tenderness the baby who was the shuttle- cock on Saturday evening, said the husband turned her out on Saturday night and would not give her any money. She admitted, amidst laughter, that she broke nine panes, but said she took the furniture away for safety to a sister's house. Since she had gone to live next door to her husband's mother and brothers and sisters, she could not say a word to her husband above a whisper without an irruption of the whole of them to take his part.—The Bench evidently thought she v.as living too near her mother-in-law, and let her off on a promise not to bringthe baby or her- self to the court again.

THE DINING-ROOM VISITOR AT NEWPORT. John Griffiths, a young artisan, was charged at Newport Town-hall to-day with stealing cooked mutton from the shop of Robert Clementson, proprietor of the Tyneside Dining-rooms, Alexandra-road. On Monday evening the prisoner went into the dining-rooms whilst the proprietor was at tea, in an inner room. and helped himself from a leg of mutton and a cooked ham, which were on cut on the counter, eating the slices as he did so. When the pro- prietor went and demanded his business, he flourished the carving-knife in h:S face, remarking that it was a very nice one, and that he had never before seen its like, etc. Mr Clementson took the knife from him and ordered him out of the house, afterwards sending P.C. Bingham after him to make an example of him.—The pri- soner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to a week 's imprisonment.

A NOTABLE CRAFT. I A curious little craft moored In the Thames d v" W 8stmmster Bridge has attracted a good d641 of attention lately. It is the small steamer of the Baptist Missionary Society, of which the C°Oitnii,tee yesterday made the official inspec- tion. The "GOODWILL," as she is ca-Iled, is built for service on the Congo, where the Society has or nine years had the steamer Peace afloat. This VFESS;-l has been constructed by Messrs Thorny- croft with special reference to the fact that eVery plate and bolt will have to be carried on for a distance of 230 miles over tough and hilly country past the cataract region of the Lower Congo to Stanley Pool. The Good- wIn measures 30ft.. in length and 13ft. beam, and weighs some 20 tons. She has three cabins,, giving sleeping accommodation for eight persons, 8011d with 13 tons of cargo on board will draw only 2ft. of water.

READING IN BED. I fulia Murray, aged 32, a. single woman, living Camp Field. Leeds, retired to bed about mid- hI; on Monday, and placing a lighted candle her bedside commenced to read. She fell sep, but was awakened by feeling pain. when found that the bed clothes were in lfames. ) jumped out on to the floor and ran into the et calling for help. A man named Thomas is, who came to her assistance, succeeded in inguishing the flames, and the police were lmuuicated with. She was taken to the ju- ry, where she died yesterday.

"WHAT'S IN A NAME?" I A man appeared in the Thames police-court and asked Mr Montagu Williams if a person could be married in any name ho chose other than the right one. Mr Montagu Williams replied that he could, and observed that they read in Shakespeare that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

TERRIBLE COLLIERY ACCIDENT Two Men Killed. Two men NAMED Lowe and Gibson were iii Hantly killed at the Arley Mine of the Wigan Coal and Iron Company, at West Houghton, last NIGIIT, by a stone weighing SOcwt. falling upon them.

I What the "World Says. The Queen has several times lent Abergeldie Mains to Lady Biddulph but that residence is not available this season, as it is appropriated to the use of Dr John Williams. Her Majesty has therefore lent Lady Biddulphoneof the residences on the Osborne demesne, and she has proceeded there for a few weeks from her house in Henry III. 's Tower, Windsor Castle, which has been granted to her for life by Royal warrant. --0- The Duchess ofConnau?ht is looking very much the better for her cure at Aix-les-Bains. Ever since her return from India she has suffered from rheumatism, and felt the cold of last winter very keenly. Princess Maud of Wales paid her a short visit from Vichy during her stay. -0 A recumbent effigy of Canon Liddon is to be placed in St. Paul's Cathedral in the apse at the east end of the building, where Wren's original communion table stands. -0 Brockhampton Court, Sir Christopher Lighton's pretty place in Herefordshire, has been offered for sale recently, with the small estate which appertains to it; but the property did not change hands, for the highest bid was only £19,000, the annual value being £ 1,167. Brockhampton Court, which is on the banks of the Wye, between Here- ford and Ross, is one of the nicest places in the county, and it stands in a n.ost picturesque clis- triet. -0 Deserted London showed unusual signs of life on the occasion of Lord Dudley's marriage to Miss I Gurney but there were fewer guests than were expected, and not all who arrived could get any- where near the front, as the church was filled by the onlookers who. with or without tickets, crowded in and took possession of the aisle. The Prince of Wales made his way to his front. seat, and had a cordial greeting for Mrs Charles Gurney and others who sat near him. Lady GOSFORD, Lady Henry Somerset, and others who came late, were perforce content to remain behind. All the brides- maids and a number of the guests tiled into the vestry but the register was only signed by the Prince, the Duchess of Bedford, and Lady Dudley. The bride looked very handsome in her bridal robes, and most demure in the Quaker-like GOWN in which she went away. The prettiest brides- maid was Miss Pamela Wyndham, though Lady Edith Ward and the little daughters of Lady Cardross and Lady de Grey were all admired, and the small pages were delightful. The presents re- ceived all the admiration they were calculated to excite, and the Prinoe, as usual, said exactly the right thing at the right time. A number of Lord Dudley's friends had assembled, including- Mr Bertie Shireif (who looked as if he had won at Doncaster) and Captain Roddy Owen (who looked as if he had lost). The announcement in a morn- ing paper that Mr William Gillett had arrived in town prepared everybody for his presence. Mr and Mrs Stanley are expected by the King of the Belgians for a week's visit at the Chalet- Royal, Ostend, on the 2nd proximo. A fortnight later they set out for Australia.

A MAN OF PROPERTY iN THE CARDIFF POLICE COURT. An Amusing Case. Considerable amusement was caused at the Cardiff police-court to-day by the appearance and observations of a respectable-looking elderly man named William Veun, who was charged—before Mr L. M. Browne—with breaking into a bake- house and doing wilful damage to the extent of 153 on Tuesday. The property is owned by Alderman Yorath, and his agent, Mr Smith, gave evidence to the effect that lie found the prisoner had broken into the ba-kehouseonTuesday morning, and that he had done considerable damage to the gas fixtures. On being requested to leave the premises he became very violent, holding OUT a knife and hatchet very threateningly. Tho prisoner indignantly denied this, and insisted that his presence in the bakehouse had nothing to do with Alderman Yorath at all, for, said he, I am tenant of the bakehouse. I took the tenancy of the former tenant, Mr Davies, and bought nearly £ 10 worth of goods with which to go into the premises. "-The witness Smith denied all knowledge of anything of the kind, and main- tained that the prisoner had illegally broken into the premises, and had threatened them with his knife and hatchot when requested to leave. At this the prisoner angrily shouted, "N o such thing, you rascal; you are telling lies. Why don't you bring your witnesses to prove it ? I was packing the goods with my knife and axe." Inspector Hayward here endeavoured to explain things a little, when the prisoner, holding up his finger, impressively said in warning tones, "Now you are telling wrong you are talking of what you know nothing." (Laughter.) Upon this one of the constables in court cautioned him a little telling him to be quiet, when the old man indig- nantly retorted, "Be quiet yourself just you mind your own business. I'm not talking to you. Whilst speaking he waved a paper in his hand, which attracted Mr Browne's attention, and induced him to ask what it was. It's his brief, sir, remarked one of the constables, amidst a general laugb.-The Prisoner It is only a few remarks I have down, so that I can stop the witnesses when they are telling lies. You see, that man (pointing to Smith) told lies in a mo- ment, and I stopped him it is my duty to do so, I think. Phe Constable: Will you be quiet ? The Prisoner I am not talking to you, my dear old man. (Laughter.)—Mr Smith here repeated that the prisoner had nothing to do with the bakehouse. — The Prisoner (turning to Mr Browne): Will you, sir, ask him to pro- duce my bill 1—Mr Smith I haven't seen any bill.-The Prisoner: Then you are telling lies again.—Mr Browne (to prisoner): You do not appear to have any right on these premises.— The Prisoner I will tell you all about it straight- forwardly, sir. On Friday last I came out of Usk Gaol, where I had been for six months. I came down to Cardiff from Newport by express train, and saw Mr Davies at the bakehouse. He told me the house was to let, and that it belonged to Ald. Yorath. I replied that I knew Aid. Yorath and all his family very well. Mr Davies then showed me the place. I said it would suit me, and I then went to see Mr Yorath, leaving my papers with him. I left some valuable papers with him. They were abstracts of my freehold property in Monmouthshire and Gloueestershire. I have also property m Brecon. It is a long time since I did business in Cardiff, but I have known Cardiff SInce I could throw a stone over IT. Mr Browne Do youintend to go back to the shop ? LI&oner Yes, my tools and goods are there. The police here informed Mr Browne that all prisoner's possessions had been brought to the police-court, and that all he had was only worth about 2s 6d.~Mr Browne I shall leave Mr Smith to obtain his remedy in the county-court seeing that the prisoner has so much property in Mon- mouthshire and Gloucestershire. (Laughter.)— The Prisoner Thank you, sir, he has no ° remedy anywhere. I am much obliged to you, sir, and I will take them into the county-court and Yorath too. I will have a couple of hundred out of Yorath out of this case.—The Constable Silence. —The Prisoner All right, sir, good morning.

THE WILD WEST SHOW. The Supply of Refreshments. At UU-dih police-court, to-day—before Mr L. M. Browne (Dtpiltv -Stipend i ary)-al)l)l ica,, Ion was made on behalf of Mr Churchill, of the Rum- liler Hotel, for permission to supply refreshments at tn^ e oephia Gardens during the holding of the Wild West Show next week. The applica- cation was made on the grounds that Colonel Cody was BUNGING- with him some 200 people, many of whom he was desirous of keeping within the bounds of the show, AND that they would, therefore, be dependent on what they could obtain from the show-ground caterers. It was desired that the hours should be from 8 a. tn. until 10 ii.in., and it was pointed out that similar licenses had been granted at all places where the show had visited, and that Col. Cody's name was in itself a sufficient gliziralltee that perfect order would be maintained within the grounds, from which visitors would be excluded at 10 o'clock Yery night. THE application wnR grauted.

THE FIFTY DAYS' FAST. M. Jacques, the French fasting man, seems laiy unfortunate in his latest experiment, as he NA^ hardly got over one illness before another seizes him. Early last woek he was pulled down with colic, and the heat of last Thursday nearly brougnt on fever, and now he is suffering agonies from the gout in the right foot. For the last two days he has had no proper sleep, and he is so weak that he cannot walk without assistance. In spite of all this ho is hopeful of completing his task, which expires on Saturday next at 4 p.m. At that hour on Monday he had been fasting 45 days, and at 10 p.m. he had been without food for 1,086 hours, leaving him only 114- to do. The latest bulletin issued by Drs G. N. Robins and J. Lloyd Whitmarsh reads as follows :—Weight, 1171b. loss during past 24- hours, 4os.; total J lo'-s, 251b. 8oz. pulse, 96; tempeiature, 99*6. Sleep disturbed by pain of gout in right foot.

Talk on 'Change, HEARD BY THE MAN UNDER THE CLOCK. WKDXKRDAV, 12.30 P.M. T'he Great Mysterious Unknown. I Well, have you found out what these new proposals are that made them put off meeting us yesterday ?" No can't. Been inquiring everywhere. No one seems to know." I Ali." I expected, after the Taff directors' meeting yesterday, that something would be known about it. And there's nothing ? Nothing." Give up looking; and put it down to be a little game for bringing the Corporation up to the I mark. Dock trust business has fallen a little flat, j Wanted, a stimulant! Let's have a great mystery over it frighten Corporation into fearing that the chance of floating the whole harbour is slipping away from them that a new combina- tion is to be made, and they'll be out of it as much as ever. Mystery business is always wind j! i ignifies nothing; keep quiet." [ -0 Value of the Docks. You look here. If those docks are j worth money, how long would it take to get i financiers or investors to find as much capital as i is wanted to make enlargements." "Or to fully equip thenJ." Just so. There's not half the work now being- done that might be done and there's a dead weight of capital making only 3 per cent., or thereabouts. It'll take a precious lot of skill to get that property on to the public at 4 per cent -Trust, or new Company, or anything you like and this postponement is only a first step." No Encouragement to Imports. f Wiiy, it I had thd centrol, I'd make | thuse docks pay splendidly. There's no | encouragement now. Look at the imports. Putting up a warehouse here and a warehouse there doesn't attract merchants, because all the | pickings of the trade are snapped up by the Docks people. Do you think merchants are ever going to cme here from Gloucester and Bristol, j L WH^RE they have their own warehouses on low ground-rents, and where they them- sel ves pocket the profits on storage, or breaking bulk, and handling, and all that ? Not a bit of it. Give them the pickings and they'll bring the trade, and the dock owner will get his benefit out of the dues but when you try to scoop up everything-well, the merchants will do their business where they can make most. That's all." A New Manager for the Taff. j A New Manager fol' the Tatf'. This new Taff Board, how are they goimg on ? Everything seems to be about the samo same staff, same, style." They're gomg to advertise for a new general ■ manager that was decided at yesterday's meet- ing." What about Toinlinson ? He was to have I been resident du'ector, practicaily manager." Nothing to hinder him. Anyhow, that was their decision yesterday, to advertise for a new general manager." I I Peh-Pier. I ) Penarth Pier. Can I buy Penarth Pier?" I YOU can't, ??'

A gentleman like you, fond of going to IIfracombe and Weston in the steamers, will, of course, be quite ready te help, every way you can, to get the pier finished."

A search was made. and he was found lying at the bottom of the boe L'le^atng from the hea-d. lie was unconsciotw, and was immediately removed to the infirmary. He seemed to know what had happened, and spoke to the mel: on the way to the infirmary. When the deceased was found it was nearly mid- n ight.—Corroborative evidence was given by Cornelius Bryant, another trimmer. Dr Mor- land, house surgeon, attributed death to concus- sion of the brain, and the jury returned a verdict of Accidental death.. The Suicide in Canton. Mr E. B. I-teece. cironer, held an inquest at the Cardiff on Tuesday relative to the death of Frederick Hawkins (32). late of 7. Mark- street, Canton, who died at the above institution on Sunday.—Rhoda Hawkins, sister of the de* j ceased, said he was a mason, and had lived in ■ Cardiff since Whitsuntide. He Lad been suffer- ing from inflammation of the foot and asthma, Witness was sent for on Thursday, and found that he had attempted to commit suicide, and had been taken to the infirmary. lie had often been low-spirited.—John Pring, a labourer, said that deceased lodged with him in Zvlark-street. He had been ill for several weeks. Witness saw him on Thursday morning about 5.30. when he took a cup of tea and said he felt better He had been unable to follow his employment for seven weeks, but he was never short of money.—Mrs Pring. wife of the last witness, said the deceased came downstair-. went to the front door, and then came into the kitchen, when she saw that he was bleeding from tiie neck. He did not speak. Medical assistance was secured, and lie was taken to the iiinrmary in a cab. On going upstairs, witness found in the bed a blood- s-ained knife, which she knew belonged to i deceased.—I*r Morland said that tte wlndpipe | was severed, but the large vessels wore not cut. At times deceased was very excitable, as though some4 tiing was troubling him. From the position of the wound, witness thought it was self- inflicted. Death occurred on .Sunday from the effects of the wound.—The jury found that thp deceased committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity.

CHARGE Or ASSAULT AGAINST A BOY. An extra&rdiri' y > r indecent assault I II}"- b^ard at the j. o.oi; y (Kent) police-court, izid, 0 years of age, named William Waits, of Bromley, a school boy. was charged with in- decently assaulting Lydia Clark, a little girl under ten years of age, with intent to abuse her, on the 12th inst. The evidence was of a most :n h-c-ot nature. The father of the lad said lie had given his son a good moral training, and only the other day the boy had been awarded a certi- ficate at the Sunday school he attended for good behaviour.—The Bench considered this case a very bad one, but they would only convict on a common assault in consideration of the defen- dant's age. He would be fined £ s, and 5s 6d costs, or seven days.—The father said the boy should go to prison.
