ONLY A PAUPER. I A Pontefract Soandal. I At a meeting of the Pontefract Board of Guar. lians on Saturday, a member asked the chairman M to a rumoured seindal, it being asserted that Ihe body of a female pauper was placed in an uncovered state in a coffin by men, and that in closing the coffin the boby was torn by nails. The Chairman said one of the nails just grazed her arm, but with regard to the absence of cover- ing he was sorry to say the statements were trus to a certain extent, and great fault was to be found with the undertaker for not being present to see that the arrangements were properly carried out. After along discussion it was resolved that in future all the garments of deceased female paupers should reach to the feet, that the body should be placed in the coffin and not thrown in, and that some official of the workhouse should be present to see after these matters.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT CARDIFF I DOCKS. To-day a fatal accident occurred on board the 8.9. Portogabute, lying in the Roath D,)ck, Car- dThe vessel was stationed under one of the oiranefl, and the men engaged on her wore unload- ing the cargo of timber. One of their number, named Win, Case,had occasion to descend into the hold, and while engaged in fixing some of the tim- ber in position a large piece fell from the crane, which was ascending at the time, and came with terrific force upon the poor fellow's head, com- pletely smashing it and killing him instantane- ously. The man resided in a lodging-house in Herbert-street. His body was conveyed to the mortuary by P.C. Hurford, of the Bute Dock Police Force. I

A STUBBORN BATTLE. The Horrors of War. I BOMBAT, Monday.—Details received here of ihe fighting between tho Waziri tribesmen and Dol. Turner's force near Yvano shows that the conflict was very stubborn. The Goorkhas, who Oore the brunt of the fighting, behaved with great gallantry. The British loss is-J. P. F. Macauley, of the Survey Department, killed, and Vapt. Lang, Lieut. Hornby, Angelo, Herbert, and Thompson, and Surgeon-Major Haig severely wounded. Eleven Goorkhas were kilted and M wounded. The Waziris retirod, leaving 100 of their number dead. The British force pursued ttie tribesmen for some distance. -P-cuter.

DRUNKEN POLICEMEN, At Newcastle to-day two policemen were sen. tetici>:l to three months' hard labour for breaking Into a public-house whilst on duty and stealing I spirits, wine, and tobacoo. The men entered the premises while under tho infllienco of drink. I

NEWPORT'S MAYOR-ELECT. I At a private meeting of the Newport County Council held to-day at noon, Mr J. C. Sanders was unanimously selected as chief magistrate for the ensuing year, on the motion of Mr W. H. Brown, seconded by Alderman Davis. Mr Sanders has been a member of the council, repre- senting the South Ward, for the last 13 years. He has always had to fight for his seat and hits always succeeded, with the exception of a slight interregnum. In this respect he is like Uncle Fred, who madt' perhaps the shortest interregnum ever known in Newport annals. The point of similarity between the two gentlemen—the retiring mayor and the incoming mayor—is strengthened from the fact that both represent the South Ward both hve in the ward, and both know its wants, wishes, and dreams to the fuller extent of intimate knowledge. Mr Sanders is a Newport-reared citizen—he was brought to the town in the year 1839, when in the first year of his existence. He assisted his father in business, and afterwards, now 35 years ago, he entered into partnership with "de in the drapery and furnishing business ;i:• 123, Com- mercial-road. This business he has since success- fully carried 011. Mr Sanders is in his 55th year—a few days after he has been robed as mayor he will attain that number of years. Ho is an ardent Liberal in politics, and has all his life espoused the popuiar side. He has identified himself with the Wesleyans, in which body he has held various prominent offices. At present and for the past 13 or 14 years he has been super- intendent of the Sunday-school of Commercial- road Wesley an Church.

I STARTLING DISCOVERY. A Child's Bedy Found in a Doorway at Cardiff. Between eight and nine o'clock on Sunday morning Detective Gretton was informed by a I postman named Morgan that Mrs Mitchell, living at 5, Fitzhamon Embankment, Cardiff, had found the body of a child, wrapped in a sheet of brown paper, outside the doorway of Wo. 7. The dftteotive went with his informant to the house of Mrs Mitchell, and on opening tha parcel found the body of a newly-born female child. It was wrapped in a clean bolster case, and covered with three sheets of clean brown paper. The body was removed to the mortuary, where the deputy police surgeon made an examination of it, and gave it as his opinion, we understand, that the child was still boru.

| South Wales Coal Trade i COLLIERS AND THE PERMANENT FUND. The monthly meeting of the Miners' Associa- tion for the Neath, Swansea, and L'.anelly district was held at Swansea on Saturday afternoon, Mr Rees Llewellyn presiding.—The agent (Mr Isaac Evans) reported that the manager of the Pencoed Colliery, Llanelly, having rejected an offer of arbitration, the strike would be con- tinued. The meeting decided to grant strike pay. The dispute at the Penlan Colliery had been settled by arbitration. Mr Evans abo I reported that an attempt had been made to induce the men at the Dynevor Collieries to join th« Parinanent Relief Fund. He said, it appeared from the reports to him, that the colliery officials had been using their influence with the colliers with a view of their joining the fund, but the men refused to do so. A discussion arose, during which the belief was expressed that the action of the Per- manent Relief Fund officials in dealing with the widows and orphans through the Albion disaster had to some extent prejudiced the minds of the men against throwing in t! r lot in the fund. It was decided that no change j» this respect should be introduced at the Dynevor Collieries. The Agent reported that he considered the mining oLibliDok very satisfactory, and it was his opinion that in the result of the round table con- ference a good strong organisation would be established by the miners of South Wales and Monmouthshire. It was reported that the proposal to starta labour organ, principally for the mining industry, had been very satisfactorily received at the various collieries. EXPLOSIONS IN MINES. I FURTHER EXPERIMENTS. On Friday afternoon the commission appointed at a conference held at Aberdare on the 8h ult., which consisted of Messrs D. Morgan, miners' agent, Aberdare Lewis Miles, Thos. Richards, W. Brace, T. Parfit, Aberarrait T. Daronwy Isaac, and Alfred Onions, who were all present except the latter, who was unavoidably detained, continued their experiments at the Lower Duffryn Colliery, owned by the Powell Dnffryn Colhery Company, where they were accompanied by Mr Gwilym Jones, the manager of the com- pany. Tuey experimented both in the open-air and underground with the new form of gun- powder cartridges prepared by Messrs Curtis and Harvey. The commission did not supply any report, but it is understood they will do so to the next conference. THE HAULIERS' DISPUTE AT LOWER I DUFFRYN. A dispute in reference to the shackling'at the Lov/er Duffryn Colliery, owned by the Powell Duffryn Company, has been in existence for some six months past. and was ultimately referred to the SIiding-scale Committee, This dispute was one of those being considered by that com- mittee on the occasion when the unfortunate misunderstanding as to the right of checkweighers giving evidence prose. This particular, however, had fortunately been referred to Mr W. Thomas, Brynawel, on behalf of the employers, aud Mr D. Morgan, n)inf-,rs' agent, Aberdare, on behalf of the men. Owing, however, to the recent illness of Mr Thomas, the question was not dealt with until Saturday evening, but inas- much as Mr Hanr. the general manager of the company, had 'n LIe meantime allowed the men to work on on their own terms the men are in no ways suffering through the delay. On S,1.turday last Mr Thomas and Mr Morgan met: to consider the dispute, when evidence was tendered on both sides, but inasmuch as the number of hauliers who proffered their evidence numbered 14 Mr Thomas and Mr Morgan had to adjourn after hearing a portion of the evidence without attempting to effect any settlement, and another meeting will have to be arranged this week to hear the remainder of the evidence and to discuss the terms of settlement. COLLIERS' CONFERENCE AT I MEKTHYR. On Saturday evening, at the G:obe Hotel, Merthyr, a meeting was held of the Plymouth, (Jyfarthfa, and Dowlais committees. Mr Coun- cillor Thomas Thomas occupied the chair. The secretary (Mr W. Evans) was present. At the outset considerable reference was made to the unavoidable postponement of the lecture on Coal Dust," which Mr Galloway had promised to deliver to-day at the Drill-hall on account of the apparatus not being ready. It was agreed to take steps to have the postponement announced in various places of worship, It was decided to hold an open meeting for the purpose of discussing the Parish Councils Act and organisation and eventually it was arranged that a small sub-committee should be entrusted with the duty of drawing up a programme of questions suitable to be submitted to candidates at the forthcoming elections.

FOOTBALL. I Th Swansea Bear Garien. I The critics of football will not be low (says the Western Daily Press) to make capital out of the scene which occurred at Swansea on Saturday. The visiting club was from Cardiff, and the team soon ran up a score of 15 points to 3, when the crowd invaded the field, and the game had to be stopped. It may be assumed as certain that the Swansea players will denounce this conduct of their fellow-townsmen in no measured terms, for it is in direct violation of the first rules of hos- pitality and fair play. Indeed, the Swansea umpire made a most heroic effort) to keep the crowd in elwk, and for his pains he wis maltreated. From that point the ground bee v. me a bear garden, and a discreditable scene was en- acted, and the members of the competing teams seem to have suffered impartially at the hands of the uncontrollable crowd. It is highly necessary in the interests of a favourite sport that this tendency, Lo whatever cause it may be attributable, should be put down with a firm hand. CARDIFF HIGHER GRADF- 'SCHOOL—PAST V. PRESENT.—Played at Roath Park on Saturday, and resulted in a draw. Scorp 2 trieq each. Jacobs scored both tries for Present, and F. D*. vies scored both for Past. ABOUT THK OTJLD WIMUEN.—The following story is told by Lord Russell of KiJlowen in his reminiscences of the late Lord Chief Justice. Lord Coleridge, then Sir John, advocating what are now known as Women's Rights in tho House. He had made a graceful ami impressive speech, when, following him in debate, there rose from the same Government- bench (it was not a Government question) from which Sir John Cole- ridge had spoken tho burly mirth-provoking figure of Mr Dowse, then one of the law-officers for Ireland. Mr Dowso set himself to demolish the argument of his learned colleague, and very humourously ho made the attempt. The general tenor of Mr Dowsci's r«ply may be judged from a sentence. My honourable and learned col- league," said he, seems to think that, because some judge* are old women, all old women are qualified to be judge?. CWMBRAN V. ABERCABN.—Played at Abercarn before a good gate. The home team started, and in a short, time Sawtoll got a free, from which George Jones placed a go. Nothing further was scored up till balf-tim" both teams being very near scoring often. The second half was ployed )u a heavy downpour of rain, and football of a primitive order prevailed among the home- sters. Nothing fureher wac scored on either side. Final score Cwmbran, 1 goal 4- minors Aber- earn, nil. TON JUNIORS V. PKNTRK BREWERY.—Played on Saturday last, the Juniors winning after a very hard tussle by 1 try 4 minors to nil.

Lord Bute has bad the handsome steam yacht Katoomba, belonging to Mr Clark, of Paisley, on charter during the summer and autumn months, the family taking frequent cruises in her round Bute and Arran. She was generally to be seen lying off N'ountstuart House. The charter having expired she is now laid up in Gourock Cypria will probably take part in the Novem I Bay. ber Handicap at Manchester, while William Wil no doubt have another cut in.

I RACING ANTICIPATIONS. The dubious position occupied by Amiable in the Liverpool Cup betting renders the race a very uncertain one, the recuperative qualities of the Oaks winner being exceedingly suggestive that she may after all prove troublesome to her oppo- nents. Notwithstanding her reputed accident, she has been backed in dangerous quarters throughout the past week, and it will therefore be wise to withhold a selection until the morning of the race, m order to learn how she may pro- gress in the interval. Of the others Street Singer, Stowmarket, Golden Drop, and Bard of Avon appear the most attractive, as I think Avington is set too heavy a task to carry 9st 7Jb success- fully. He failed at K. mpton k other day, and it is therefore probable one or two will ateo finish in front of him at Liverpool. There is plenty cf racing during the week, a cummencement being made this afternoon at Pluinpton and Sheffield, selections for which are apoended :— .=- i I PLUMPTON. 2.

SPORTING ITEMS. Melton, for whom the Italian Government rMc 220.000, is now 12 years old. He won the Derby in 1885. Baibary may be looked upon as a doubtful starter for the Liverpool Autumn Cup. It is stated that the Duke of Portland has dis- posed of Raeburn for exportation to Garma.ny for stud put poses. Tha Two Thousand Guineas for 1396 has closed with 94 subscribers, and the One Thousand Guineas has secured exactly the same number. In view of the Czar's death it is more than likely the Prince of Wales s racing yacht BrItannia will not tit out for the Mediterranean regattas next year. Though, as far sis stamina is concerned, Isin- glass ranks among the horses of the century, the fact remains that he has not run more than a mile and three-quarters in his life.

He also reminded the management that failing to Ii agree upon a list the workmen were prepared to refer the question to open arbitration.

I Funeral of Clwydfardd. I IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY. I [BY OUR SPECL&L REPORTER.) The remains of the venerable G wydfardd, Archdruid of Wales, were interred in the burial- fp-ound of Abergele parish church on Saturday. The large and representative assemblage from ail parts of the Principality, the impressive memorial I services, and the general recognition of a nationa! loss formed a fitting and eloquent tribute to the memory of one who, in a long career, had played a prominent pa. t in the national life of Wales. Amongst the many numerous expressions of sympathy received by the deceased's family durmg the week were ietoers ot condolence from Lord Mostyn, Sir John Puieston, Archdeacon Griffiths ILIkndiAff), Rwfa Mon, Mrs Thomas, Morfudd llryri (."St. Vicarage, near Bangor), Mr Phillip Yorke, Watcyn Wyn, Mr Vincent Evans (on bebaif of the National Eistedd- fod Association), Mr Williams (Ap Caledfryn), Mr E. O. V. Lluyd (ex-high sheriff), Rev. Evan Jonet (Denbigii), Rev. H. Hug (Beaumaris), Mr Marchant Williams (London), the Literary Society of Moriah Chapel, Carnarvon, &c. The funeral obsequies commenced with a short service at St. Paul's Wesleyan Chapel at. 1.30. There was a crowded congregation, composed of leading figures in Welsh Nonconformity, personal friends and relatives of the deceased bard, and members of the general public. The service was conducted by the Rev. Richard Williams (superin- tendent minister of the Abergele Wesleyan circuit). The preliminary portion was gone through by the Rev. T. 0. Jones (Mold) and the Rev. Francis Jones (C.M. minister). Impressive addresses in Welsh were afterwards delivered by the Rev. Cadvan Davies (Towyn), Rev. D. Roberts, D.D. (Wrexham), Rev. E. Lloyd Jones (Rhyl), Rev. John Hnghes (Liverpool), Mr J. Harrison Jones, J.P. (Denbigh), and Rev. R. Parry (Gwalchmai). The latter gentle- man, who is now the oldest living Welsh bard being 91 years of flGe- alluded to his intimate association with the deceased Archdruid for a period extending over 50 years. The service concluded with prayer offered by the Rev. E. Humphr.-y- Bangor. A PKOCJCSSION" WAS FORJIED outside the building, and the vast body of mourners proceeded to the deceased's residence. After prayer at the house the coffin was borne out, and tho procession was re-formed, and left for the parish church in the following order;- Ministers, preachers, leaders, relatives, and general public. Ths cortege was met at the church gates by the Rv. Thomas Edwards (Gwynedd), rector of Llanllyini, who led the way into the church. Tne iirst portion of the service here was con- ducted by the vicar of Abergele (Rev. David Jenkins), and the other clergy taking part were the Revs. Thomas Edwards and Humphrey Lloyd (curate). A unique feature ot the obsequies was that, owing to the generosity of the rector, several Nonconformist ministers were allowed to assist in officiating. The lesson in the churcb%vasrc,adbytii,,P, R.Jones( Wesleyan).TL-,(-- special hymtis for tbe occasion were Yn y dyfroedd mawr a'r tonau," and" 0 fryniau Caersalem ceir gweled."

A SEAMAN KILLED AT CARDIFF. I Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night an inspector on the Great Western Railway found the dead body of a German seaman, named A. Tuuker, lying between the metals on a Great Western Railway siding at the east side of the East Dock, Cardiff. The man had been run over by a shunting engine, and his head was badly smashed. The body w;*s removed to the mortuary, and an inquest will be held to-day. Apparently there was a companion with Tunker, and it appears they were on their way to the dock to rejoin their ship, as another seaman, named Wilheim Brude, was found a little later on a short distance from where Tunker's body lay. Brkile was unconscious, and was at once ren.:>V'.d to the infirmary, where it was found necessary to amputate thf right arm at the shoulder. The men belon^ d to the British steamer Thomas ¡ Turubuil, which s-ciled from Cardiff on Saturday night. Tunker was about 30 years of about I' 5ft. in height, and of dark complexion, and was dressed iu a blue s' tge suit.

I SMALL-POX~AT DOWLAIS, I' At, the meeting on Saturday of the Merthyr Board of Guaidians, Mr Thomas Jenkins, J.P., in the ohair, it was reported by the vaccination officer that a case of small-pox had occurred. T!:e patient, Ricliard Ingrain, had been employed at tho Dowlais new Catholic Church, and had come to Dowlais from Birmingham last Wednesday week, when he took lodgiigs at the Cross Keys public-house. It transpired that another lodger, also from Birmingham, had slept with him, and was still in the habit of visiting hun. He could not be removed to the Punt or Brecon-road (Merthyr) Eover Hospitals because they were occupied by fever patients.—A letter also was it-ad from Alderman G. C. James, clerk to t,he Merthyr Board of Health, suggesting the removal of the case to tue Brithdir Hospital.—After some discussion it was agreed to recommend the rural sanitary authority to admit the case at the Brithdir Hospital. Subsequently, at a meeting of the rural sanitary authority, it was ultimately arranged, after what was stated by Mr Owen, that the case would not be sent to the Brithdir Hospital, it appearing that it would go to the Brecon-road Hospital forthwith.

Widows' Rights. RE-INSURANCE OF FRIENDLY I SOCIETIES. I TO THE EDITOR. I' FELE,—Will you kindly grant me A small sparse in your valuable paper to call the attention of Mr T. J. Hughes, of Bndgord, to the fact tbai the word" re-msurance," in its connection with l ordinary friendly societies, means the formation of a central fund tor the purpose of paying sums due on the deatti of members and their wives, II v, iich i called the district, funeral fund and in connection with miners' provident societies, who are friendly sac ')tlè, in every sense of tbe words, to meet extraordinary calamities, such as those of I Llanprch and Ciifyuydd NVieii tbe Friendly Societies Act of 1875 was published, it was found that it contained no pro- vision for the formation of such funds, and at the request of the Oddfellows and other great soe.eties, Mr Ludlow inserted a clause (the 4th) in the short Act of 1375, to meet the deficiency. In conclusion aLow ill. also to state that, although the South Walep Provident Society has a capital oF over £ 144,000, wh>ch is less than LZ 10s per memter, xt is far from being iu a solvent position; notwithstanding the great hue and cry about its enormous wealth, its "richness" as a society, &c,—lam. JENKIN HOWELL, Abe:du"e, Ivovfciab^r 3rd. A TRAiJxi t -S i NIST LZADER'S CA RATION. to l'HK EDITOP. A, p moaient when public feeling is raised to us tllg I pitch of indignation and anger at the unjust and unchristianlike conduct of those gentleman who, in the most cruel and heartless manner, are appropriating vast sums of public money, thns depriving the widows and orphans of that which a generous and sym- pathetic public intendt-d for their use, and theirs only, permit me a small space iu your columns to join in the protest, that is being made against such a barefaced' practice. After the terrible Cilfynydd explosion occurred, and appeal after appeal for help wis made on behalf of the widows and orphans, the heart of the great British nation was moved to its depths, aud ready and cl generous was the, response to that appeal. But (hd it ever enter into the minds of those whose hearts went ouL in sympathy and compassion to the weep.ng widows and fatherless children, that the money chey were then subscribing would ntrver reach its destination, but I rather finds ts wr.y into the treasury of the Permanent Fund, of which many of them I had never heard. Could this question be ad- dressed either individually or collectively to the subscribers the reply would be one thunderous emphatic no." What rlgt, theu, have the 1 central commit&se or Permanent Fund officials to vote or use tbis money for any other purpose ihan that for which it was originally intended ? It is from such men KS these that we usually hear the cry of confiscation when certain politioal reforms are being advocated but if tins is not confiscating with a vengeance— wickedly and wiituily confiscating the widow and I for the benefit of a powerful and wealthy privvtemptitution bossed by capita lists and coalowners, then the lexicographers, as weil as the writer, does not understand toe meaning of the term. I am deeply interested m this matter, both is -i subscriber and as the representative of a society—the Boilermakers' and Iron Ship- builders' Society — that has contributed largely in aid of these unhappy pwpie. Our first donation of twenty pounds was paid over to the South WaltS Daily News Fund, with the express condition that it should not be merged in any way with the Permanent Fund; but afterwards Keeping in view ttie grasping and- grabbing propensities shown by the olbcia's or the Permanent Society and fearing that by some arrangeaient between and the central committee that tbe widows and children would not directly benefit by our contribution, we decided to obviate any such danger by handing over our second donation of £ 450 to Mabon, M.P. This will be given to the local relief c-onimittee at Cilfynydd, of which the R-v. Michael Williams is chair-nan and the Rev. R. E. Williams is treasurer. Owing to the regrettable iiiness of Mr Abraham (Mabon), MP., this has not yet been done, but. tho-e interested may rest assured that the money will go to the proper I quarter. I would strongiy recommend all sub- scribers to take immediate action and brmg such pressure to bear upon the custodians of their generosity as wii' preclude the possibility of agross injustice being done to the widows and children by allowing the Permanent Fund officials to capture that to which they havenomuremoralor legral claim than have the tram-wreckers of the Far West to the goods and valuables of the passengers who sometimes fall a prey to then- wild rapacity. Where money has been subscribad with an accompanying cond'tion that it should I go to the Permanent Fund, by all means let it go, and no fair-minded man will say nay, but where that stipulation is not In3.d.- the money rightfully I belongs, and ought to be given to, the widows, i orphans, and de pendents of the victims of the disaster. Render unto Caesar the things that are Cae-rti-s," but give also unto the helpless little children that which belongs to them. Those who would deprive tlipm of the generosity of their benefactors deserves the curse oi him who said, May the grass wither beneath their feet the sun refuse to give them light the earth a home the grave a shelter and heaven its Gtxi."

The War in the East m— LATEST DEVELOPMENTS. SHANGHAI, Monday.—The Chinese army under General Tung, which evacuated Chin Lien Ohing, occupies a mountain pass on the high road to Pekin, with strict orders to defend it at all hazards. A Japanese column is marching north- wards with the object of getting behind General Tung's army. Several small passes to the south of Moatienting are undefended, and it is ex- pected that the Japanese commander will endea. vour to penetrate these before the Chinesa are fcble to bar the progress of the invaders. It is again stated at Tientsin that the Japanese have effected a landing in the Gulf of Liaw Tong, 40 miles north of Siianehaikwan, which is occupiad by a itrong force of Chinese. It is expected that lureiguors will be officially requested to leave Pekin within the next fortnight.

I Bomb Outrage in London I A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR, I Supposed Attempt on the Life of Justice Hawkins. Justice Hawkins. Shortly after eleven o'clock last night an ex- plosion occurred in Tiiuey-street, Park-lane, London, which presented all the features of a dynamite outrage. A police sergeant hearing the report, which was audible a long distance off, hurried to the spot, and found that the door of No. 2 had been blown in. All the windows of that and some of the neighbouring houses were broken, and the stone stps at the entrance. No. 2, Tilney-street, is occupied by the Hon. Reginald Brett, who was from home at the time, but the house was occupied by one member of the family and some servants. No personal injury was sus- tained by any of these persons. At present no motive can be given for the outrage, but the police are busy making inquiries. Mr Howard Vincent, Commissioner of Police, visited the saene of the outrage last night, and made a careful survey. It is understood that a portion of the bomb has been foknd by the police. The outrage must have been carried out very quickly, as a police sergeant passed the spot just before the explosion occurred. The authorities ai Scotland Yard were quickly informed of the outrage, and several members of the detective staff sent to the spot. A cordon of police was also drawn around the house, aud a strict search was made for the remains of the bomb, petard, or infernal machine that had been employed. Suspicion points most strongly to a bomb, as those first on the scene felt a strong smell of powder. The street is closed to traffic, and the closest investigation is being made into every circumstance likely to throw light upon the outrage. It is now supposed that the bomb which was exploded at No. 2, Tilney-street, was intended to have been placed at No. 5, which is the residence of Mr Justice Hawkins. The house most injured is No. 2, tenanted by Mrs Hobart Hampden, while the Hon. Reginald Brett lives next door, at No. 1. It is probable that the miscreants in their hurry mistook the numbers on the doors, or had been misdirected. The Central News says the hall door and windows of No. 1, Tilney-street were almost com- pletely shattered. The effect of the concussion was to reduce the windows in adjoining and oppo- site houses to atoms, and the consequent alarm among the various householders was intense. Tilney-street, it may be explained, is a short but fairly wide thoroughfare off South Audley-street, Hyde Park, and contains only seven houses, among the residents being Mr Justice Hawkins, who lives at No. 5, and Earl Manvers, whose house is No. 6. LATEST DETAILS. I Official Investigation. I The Central News says:—The bomb outrage in Mayfair has caused the utmost consternation in the West Eud of London. The miscreant appears to have laid the machine upon the door- step of the residence occupied by Mr Reginald Brett, at No. 2, Tilney-street, Mayfair. It was exploded by means of a fuse, and the report alarmed the whole district. The door was blown in, the glass in the house demolished, and much of the furniture in the lower part of the house damaged. The police were speedily on the spot, and a communication was made to Scotland Yard immediately. The whole of the chiefs of the department visited the scene as soon as practicable after the receipt of the message, including Sir Edward Bradford, the chief commissioner, and Mr Anderson and Mr Howard, assistant commissioners. At half-past two this morning Colonel Majendie, the Home Office expert on explosives, visited the scene and made a careful examination of the surroundings. By his direction all the debris was carefully collected, and will be removed to the Home Office for minute inspection to enable Colonel Majendie to make his usual exhaustive reporb. The largest part of the bomb is in the hands of tha police. It is of large sizo, being from three to four inohes in circumference, and has a leaden bottom. The bomb seems to have been hurriedly placed and not to have been lodged in the position best calculated to do the most damage. To this fact must be ascribed the escape of the inmates from fatal injuries and the house from total wreck, As illustrating the eccentric movements of the explosive force it may be men- tioned that whilst the two houses on either side of Mr Brett's escaped com- paratively without injury, nearly all the back windows in Stanhope-street, at the rear of Tilney- street, are smashed. Indeed, in Tilney-street itself the force of the explosion recoiled from Mr Brett's house and the debris was driven upon the houses on the opposite side of the street. Chief Inspector Melville and his assistants made a careful examination of all the houses within the area of the explosion and directed their attention particularly to the adjoining Stanhope-street. They went along the backs of '1 'I tne nouses in this street, carefully noting the damage that bad been done. The scene at day- light this morning was one of unusual excitement. Those of the inhabitants of the locality disturbed by the shock, and too frightened to return to their houses, remained in groups throughout he night as near the scene of the outrage as the authorities would permit. The street was blocked by the police all the morning whilst they collected the debris. As soon as the light was sufficiently good a number of photo- graphs were taken from various positions by direction of Colonel Majendie. The Central News learns that though many residents in the district are suffering from nervous shock, there is no case of personal injury. lu Mr Brett's house only the servants were at home, and they occupied distant room in the house. Up to nine o'clock this morning there was no trace of the miscreants who perpetrated this latest bomb outrage. It is believed that the house of Mr Brett was mistaken by the desperadoes for the residence of a judge who ha3 presided at the trial of more than one Anarchist. The excitement in the neighbourhood is now calming down, though the outrage is the one topic of conversa- tion. The district is a secluded oue, and very quieti at night. It is significant that the perpetrators should have selected the eve of the Guy Fawkes anniversary to make their diabolical attempt. The Central News, telegraphing at half-past nine, says As the morning grew lighter several further pieces of bomb were found 1Jl various areas, gutters, etc. The portions recovered are about half an mch in thickness, and show the grain of the metal as clearly as a coarse rag revels its torn edges. No one is allowed to go into the houses in the street unless seen to their destina- tion by a policeman. No amsia have been made. The chief commissioners of police remained on the spot until daylight, J; A Cool Judge. I The Central News adds that Mr Justice Hawkins, who resides next door to Mr Brett, was sitting by the fire when the explosion occurred. He visited the scene and then went to bed, ex- hibiting the greatest coolufss throughout. Early this morning he was visited by Scotland Yard officials. No private malice has so far been shown to have existed in reference to Mr Brett, and the outrage is therefore attributed to Anarchists. Appearances, so far, do not indicate the use of dynamite, as the cxpiosion seems to have spent its force in an upward direction. Mr Dudley Lees's house suffered the most, the whole of the windows at the back being smashed. All approach to the scene of the occurrence is bavred I by the police. The Press Association in a later message states that Mr Justiea Hawkins ifi in no way discom- posed by the explosion. Ho went for his usual ride this morning before breakfast, and subse- quently drovt to the Law Courts and took his seat on the bench. Photographs of the Injured Houses in Tilney-street have been taken from three different points. The bomb was evidently placed at the right hand bottom corner of the door. The doorstep and lower part of the door aro quite shattered, and the door is only supported by the top hinge. The greatest force of the bX- plosion must, however, have been in a forward direction, for a blank wall which faces No. 2 shows numerous marks and indentations where portions of the bomb struck. Some of the holes are several inches dtep, and an iron pips for conveying rain water from the roof has been pierced. At No. 13, which is nearly opposite Mr Brett's, not a whole pane of glass remains. In the opinion of those best able to judge the agent used;was most powerful and active, and the explosive must have had as an outermost casej; an iron receptacle, for in addition to the tube further fragmentary portions of metal have been found. A large number of the friends of the Hon. Mrs Hambleton (not Hampden), whose house adjoins that of Mt Brett, and congratu- lated her upon her immunity from injury, and to inspect the damage to her house, one of the earliest being Mr Justice Hawkins. Lord Rosebery drove past the scene shortly af"er eleven o'clock. but only, took a hasty glance at the damnge. and without leaving his carriage, asked a few ques- tions of the police on duty. The street is still sprinkled with portions of glass, and everything will be left as at present until the experts have concluded their investigations. Unpleasant Experiences. Numerous stories are current in the neighbour- hood of experiences of residents, some of whom state they ware ehakeu in bed, and others, living as far as Grosvenor-squave, assert there were vibrations in the windows of their houses. Among the visitors to the scene this morning were the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Abercorn, and Sir George Osborne Morgan. It is under- stood that Mr Justice Hawkins' house has been under police surveillance for some mouths. Mr Brett Interviewed. The Hon. Reginald Brett, in an interview with a reporter to-day, said that he and Mrs Brett dined out last evening, and Mrs Brett drove home. She had only entered the hall and re- moved her cloak and one glove when the ex- plosion happened. Mrs Brett must have stepped over the bomb within two minutes of its going off, and when that happened she was fortunately standing round a corner in the hall. No Clue. No arrests have been made, and the police do not at present appear to have any clue. They have expressed the opinion that the contents of the bomb consisted of dynamite, but that dyna- mite was the explosive used is the general impres- sion..

EULOGIUM OF DR. VAUGHAN. In his inaugural discourse as Master of the Temple the Rev. Canon Ainger, preaching to a congregation which crowded every part of the ancient church sacred to the legal profession, dealt with the power and the place of the sermon in Divine worship. After the great revival of Wesley and Whitfield, brought about largely by preaching, it was natural that the sermon should be overvalued. But men, and not least so Churchmen, were ever the subject of reactions, and the swing of the pendulum had brought for the time being a very different school to the front. The sermon had been deposed from its old height, and, though not openly disparaged, its value was probably now underestimated. The very fact that in the Non- conformist world the sermon had been given a prominence far too great was probably the reason why in the scheme of the High Churchmen it was allowed one far too little. While only the cold- hearted and non-spiritual would underrate the office of the preacher, only the fool and the flippant would turn it into ridicule. The canon afterwards delivered an eloquent euiogium of his predecessor, Dr. Vaughan, whose words had quickened ar.d purified hundreds of thousands of homely and unconferoversial Inc.

EMPIRE THEATRE LICENCE. Rioting by Sympathisers. The Empire Music Hall, London, which re- opened its doors on Saturday, was crowded in every part, and before the event was over there were some unprecedented scenes. The bar3 had been removed, in accordance with the county council's regulations, and in the promenade palms and lounges filled much of the space. After the close of tbe bscond ballet there were loud cries for Mr Edwardes. He appeared, thanked the audience, and retired. Enthusiasm had been grcwing, and the smashing of one of the large palm pots was fol. owed by the destruction of the wooden partition, with its stout canvas covering, which separated the bars from the auditorium, The active exertions of the officials were in. sufficient to check the onslaught of tbe rioters. Soma of the Moorish decorations were torn down, and other damage done. Whilst the destruction was in progress there was singing of Britons never shall be Slaves," and many cries denouncing Mrs Chant and the county council.

JABEZ BALFOUR. Hew He Reoeived the News. A Pall Mall Gazette telegram from Buenos Aytvs states tbat Jabez Balfour has received notification of the decision of the court in his case, and it has caused him the greatest conster- nation. He declares that a gross injustice has been committed in favour of his political perse- cutors by the British Government, and pretends that owing to his serious state of ill-health he is unable to bear the voyage to England. A special watch is being kept on the prisoner, it being feared he contemplates suicide. This fear was caused owing to Miss Freeman's statement that Balfour would never return alive.

Ardlamont Mystery Revived. APPLICATION IN THE PROBATE COURT. In the Probate Division to-day an application was made on behalf of Mrs Agnes Maude Monson, wife of Mr Alfred John Monson for leave to issue a subpoena Duces Tecum against Messrs Da.ndson and Syme, of Edinburgh, writers to th" Signet, calling upon them within eight days to produce to probate registry a. testa- mentary document of the IiiteWindrior Dudley Cecil Hambiough, of Ardlamont House, Argyle- shire, Scotland, who died on August 10th, 1893. Mr Sturges, who made the application, said it appeared that Hambrough had insured bis life, and just prior to his death had assigned the policies by will to the present application. Subsequently the husband of tne applicant was put on his trial charged with the murder of the deceased, and it appeared that with his solicitors was lodged this document which was alleged to b9 a will according to J the law of Scotland. Three hundred pounds ( of the sum due for the defence of Mr Monson remained unpaid, and tbe solicitors refused to a;ive up the documents until those costs were paid. paid. i -r-
