Garw Club Raids. PROCEEDINGS AT BRIDGEND. Members and Their Subscriptions. At Bridgend Police Court to-day (before Mr R. W. Llewellyn and other magistrates) David Ana- tin, junior, steward of the Biaengarw Conserva. tive Club, was charged with selling beer without a licence, and several others were charged with aiding and abetting. Mr T. J. Hughes appeared for the prosecution and Mr B. F. Williams, Q.C. (instructed by Mr R. C. Griffiths) for the defence. The first witness called was Inspector Thomas, of Bridgend, who said that on the 30th October he visited the club in company with P.C.'s Mor- ris, Pugh, and Courtenay. In the bar he found 29 men drinking beer, find there were two beer engines fitted up on the counter. The steward afterwards showed him over other rooms in the house, called the billiard room, the games room, and the library. In the billiard room there was a billilLrd table. which Was made to be converted into an ordinary table when needed. At the time of the visit the librar- Waa in total darkness, and there were no bonki He only saw one daily paper. Witness asked fo, the books of the club, and they were at one, ha.naed to him. The building was not licensed for the sale oi drink. Cross-examined by Mr B. F. Williams, Q.C. There was no sort of concealment. The club. was started on 21st September. The names of all those present appeared on the register. Mr Hughes We don't admit that any of them were members. Mr Williams It is a part of the contention of the police that they were serving people with drink who were not members. Witness: Yos; there were none of them members. Mr Williams Ah, but that is assumi><^ the magistrates come to the conclnsion that this is not a bona fide club ?—Yes. Cross-examination continued He would not expect to find persons playing billiards in a well- conducted club on a Sunday night. Neither would he expect to find them using the billiard table for drinking pc poses. He did not see any portraits in the club. There were some notices hung up in the club. One of them, behind the bar, stated thaL only members were to pay for drink. Mr B. F. Williams, for the defence, said that the only question the Bench had to decide was whether this was a bona fide club or not—was this a club met together for political purposes, or were these premises started in order to sell drink with- out a licence under the pretence that it was a club ? This was one of number of clubs formed by the Conserva- tive party, and affiliated with the Asso- ciation of Coriservathe Clubs, the head office of which was in London. A secretaiy, treasurer, fcnd committee were duly elected, and although there were no books in the library it was in- tended to get some, for it must be remembered the club had only been started six weeks. Mr Hughes said his point was that even as- suming this was a club not a single person on the register was a member because they had not paid their first subscription. Mr Williams sa.id that might be an element upon which the Bench would found their judg- ment. A general raid had been made upon these olubs throughout the country, he hoped not for party purposes. Counsel went on to contend that it could not be suggested that any person had run this club for profit. Mr Hughes It will be suggested. Mr Williams said he understood it might be Haid that a brewery was making profit, but if that was the suggestion there was nothing in it. [PBOCEEDING.J I

South Wales Coal Trade. It had been anticipated that a. meeting would have been held at Cardiff to-day of the Sliding Scale Joint Committee for the discussion among other things of the question of deductions under the Scale audit, and the disputes now pending at Hill's Plymouth Colliery, Merthyr. Upon inquiry at the coalowners' office our representa- tive was informed however that it had not been found possible to convene a meeting. The Slid- ing Scale Joint Committee may meet on Satur- day next to receive the result of the audit, and if not on Saturday then on one of tho earliest days 01 the week following.

SCENE AT AN ASSIZE TRIAL. I Thomas O'Rourke, miner (33), was indicted at the Manchester Assizes yesterday (before Mr Justice Phillimore) for having on August 4tli feloniously shot at his brother, Daniel O'Hourke, with intent to mnrdor him The prisoner when called upon to plead at once replied that he was guilty, and when the Judge suggested that he had better plead not guilty he said, 1, Oh no I did it deliberately in order to got in front of a Court of Justice." The Judge, however, decided to hear evidence on the question of sentence. The medical evidence was to the effect that, although O'Rourke was subject to delusionary mania, lie was quite able to understand his plea.. The prisoner, having been found guilty, made a long statement concerning many troubles and indignities to which he had been subjected iu Malia, Cyprus, Alexandria, and elsewhere, and added that he had been looking for an opportunity during the past two years to get before a Court of Justice. He also said that if he could have got a revolver he should ba.ve taken life long ago, but he did not want to use a knife or blunt instrument for the purpose. His reason for shooting at prosecutor was to make him prove himself a brother. At the end of his statement prisoner had worked himself into a condition of the wildest excitement. The Judge sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude, adding that of course the Home Secretary would be communicated with.

THE COMPENSATION ACT. I An Interesting Point. I An important case under the Workmen's Com. pensation Act came before the Appeal :omt to- day. While unloading percusrjon caps from the steamer Manitoba in the Royal Albert Docks on July 6th two men named Marriott and Woodham were killed and five other men shockingly in- jured by the explosion of a case of caps. Judge French at Bow County Court found the owners of the Manitoba were liable under the Act, and awarded the widows of the two men killed 1,300 each and the injured men iEl A, week each for life. From this the owners appea,led on the ground that the men were not employed in the words of the Act-" On, in, or about a dock or quay." The Appeal Court to-day upheld the decision of the County Court Judge, and dismissed the appeal with coats. It is understood, says the Central News, that the case will go to the House of Lords.

] England and France. A DIPL0MATI8T'S OPINION. I Paris Press Views. PARIS, Friday.—The Gaulois to-day, in an article on Egyptian affairs, says: It is not to-day for the first time that many of us have indicated that the period of promises of evacuation is past, and have inquired whether the time is not come to adopt in regard to Egypt an attitude more practically in conformity with our interests. It is none the less true, however, that we have some right co display the invitation in view of the ambiguous conduct of British statet4non during the sixteen years of slow absorption of Egypt. If our neighbours refuse to recognise that right it will hardly be easy to arrive at the re-estab- lishment of our friendly relations with them. All this is doubtless no reason why necessary nego- tiations should not be begun, but it is certainly a reason for their being rendered more difficult and their issue more uncertain. We sincerely desire for our part to avoid a conflict which would be disastrous to both countries, and we shall await with the calm which has never deserted us, and without allowing ourselves to be affected by armaments carried out and main- tained on our account, the overtures which they may have to make to us on the other side of the Channel." 1 ,<- i I r ) ,< = k diplomatist, writing in the Evenemcnt, favours a <^H«prochement towards Germany, who, he says, would ensure the absolute security of France's Eastern frontier, and would permit France to effect a notable diminution in its military arma- ments and to increase its navy to the necessary degree. The writer concludes as follows :—" I know very well, alas what the obstacle to this arrangement is. It is the question of Alsace- Lorraine, On the other hand if we remain in the position of always having to yield to the injunctions of Great Britain we must give up all idea of au active Colonial policy and of expansion. If we are to follow with docility the instructions of the Foreign Office we must sink to the state of a second or third-rate Power. We should doubtless find material advantages in this situa- tion. Our commercial relations with the United Kingdom would grow, our markets would be more important. But is that the true future of France ? Such is the situation. I have not the recessary means of forming an opinion for me to seek to solv the problem, but danger is imminent. It is abso- lutely necessary to come to a decision which will give security for the present and provide for the future." The 17oltaite says The time has arrived for a settlement of the strained situation with Eng- land. May it not be written in blood." The Temps in a long article headed" The Fashoda Question the Policy of Pinpricks," BaYs It is impossible now that the system has been publicly defined by Mr Chamberlain and Lord Lansdowne to pass over the allegation in silence, so we think it would be as well to recall without the least prejudice, and with the sole desire of discovering the truth, the most striking incidents of the Coioniixl competition which has led to the present situation." Ihe writer then proceeds to set forth in detail the questio. 8 if Tunis, Egypt, the Niger, Newfound- land, Zanzibar, Madagascar, and Siam, and concludes :—" If in this Colonial expansion, whether on the Niger or the Nile, France has been drawn into crossing the action of Great Britain, it was not with any previous intent of seeking to harm her former ally. The facts which we have just recalled show that her policy has been a policy of defending interests which were dis- regarded or threatened. Another factor more in conformity with the loftier interests of peace and civilisation may also be taken into account. A settlement of Colonial difficulties pending be- tween France and Great Britain is not yet unrealisable. Mr Chamberlain even alluded to such a settlement, and seemed to desire it. Why did he not speak of it sooner, before allowing matters to come to their present pass ?"—Reuter. Indian Troops for Khartoum. I Private letters which have been received in London from Unyoro, dated August 28th, say that most of the officers and Indian native troops are going down the Nile to Khartoum. The civil war is not yet over. A native army has j'lst been sent to Buddu to catch the rebel chief. The young King of Unyoro, aged 11, has just been brought to Mengo for safe custody. A War Minister's Holiday Curtailed. Lord Lansdowne, Minister for War, who bad intended staying for a few days at Mount Edgcumbe as guest of his brother-in-law, the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, returned to. London from Plymouth yesterday afternoon. A National Humiliation. I PARIS, Saturday.—Writing in the Echo de Paris M. Jules Lemaitre says the British have endea- voured to render the evacuation of Fashoda as humiliating and mortifying for France as possi- ble. Of set purpose, he adds, without any neces- sity, a people, a whole people, have rejoiced in humiliating us. Wish Father to the Thought. I JLhe Rappel remarks It should be our object to gain time. What does yielding at Fashoda matter if in six or seven years we oblige Great Britain to give way everywhere ? The blunders of Great Britain have been to irritate Europe and excite the appetite of the United States. In ten years we shall see Great Britain caught between the United States and Europe. That day will be her death. It will be what she wtinted. leeuter.

I CONSTANTINOPLE, Thursday.—Tewftk Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently called upon the four Ambassadors to notify them that the Sultan had heard of the intention of the Powers to appoint Prince George, and that in that case Turkey would not consent but would protest against this nomination. It is doubtful whether the Powers will formally apprise the Porte of the nomination of Prince George, as his Royal High- ness proceeds to Crete only as the High Commis- sioner for the Powers for a limited period. The belief is current that the form of his appointment has been adopted for the express purpose of avoiding any notification to the I-orte.Reitter. "1" ..Ib.

SCENES OF WILD DISORDER. The Lecturer Driven from the Platform. 1, Ex-Priest Slattery re-appeared at Andrews Hall, Cardiff, last night. According to first arrangements, his Cardiff engagement closed on Tuesday night. In consequence of disturbances, however, he signified his intention to hold another meeting, being determined, as he declared, to break down all opposition. The meeting last night was announced to open at 8 o'clock. Long before that hour, how- ever, the hall was densely packed. At the time announced the lecturer walked up the gangway to the accompaniment of cheers and hisses. Taking his position on the platform, he was soon assailed with a fusillade of jeers and epithets. He stood unmoved for some time, and hen asked if they didn't think he had atoo enough. (Laughter.) It had been said, he remarked, that he had been too harsh in his former lectures. He could get no further, the succeeding observations being drowned in groans. The gallery, it was clear, was occupied by a strong antagonistic contingent. Shrill cries of Go it, Slavery," were occasionally heard above the din. His forbearance exhausted, the lecturer gave the order Clear the gallery I" This was the signal for supreme disorder. A rush was made for the oppositionists, and a series of I FREE FIGHTS ensued. The dissentients; however, were far too strongly entrenched, and they held their position to a man—and woman, for the disturbing element was largely composed of the female sex. Beaten in the attack the lecturer's friends (Mr Slattery did not leave the platform) returned to their seats in the body of the hall. The lecturer said that, disturbance or no disturbance, he would proceed with the lecture, the title of which was Purgatory." Proceeding to deal with the teaching of Rome as to where Purgatory was, Mr Slattery's voice was drowned iu uproar, and the combustible element showed signs of breaking out in dangerous forms. Groans, sho.its of derision, and songs of "We'll ,jig old Slattery on a sour apple-tree" rose higher and higher. The gallery" in their excitement seemed disposed to swoop down into the body of the hall and to make for the platform. The lecturer grasped hi3 cudgel, and, walking to the stairs leading on to the floor, he shouted out to his friends, Steady, boy?, steady!" A scene of wild excitement foUowed, but the worst evils feared did not ensue. Women rushed for the platform doors, aud a few escaped thereby. Gradually peace WM restored, and Mr Slattery again attempted to lecture. He said he would define the doctrine of Purgatory as taught by the Romish Church. It was an unredeemed promise, for the pledge was hailed with overwhelming groans. Above the uproar arose shrill voices shrieking out sangui- nary epithets. Though the din was tremendous the lecturer's voice was faintly heard, saying, That is Home Rule for you Welshmen see what it means." Having waited for a calm that never came, the lecturer said he would go on despite the row. Thereupon a shouting match between the opposition and the lecturer took place. This went on for some time, but it was an unequal struggle. A friend of the ex-priest went to the platform and suggested that Mr Slattery should return tho tickets and let the people go for the evening, with a promise to give his lecture this (Saturday) evening. But I won't be here to-morrow," said the lecturer. 111 will go on." Someone called out Where Rre the r,olice ?'' The police," replied the lecturer scornfully, I have refused to come to my assistance by the orders of their chief." A moment later MR SLATTERY, CUDGEL IN HAND, I threw out the challenge, Are there enough I Protestants here to clear the hall ?" Cries of Yes were given in response. But none was found to lead such a dire attack, and Those behind cried Forward and those in front cried Back. "ou lead the way," sa,id a young man in front. The lecturer turned upon him a withering glance and asked Are you one ?" A dis- claimer was immediately given, but Mr Slattery did not accept it, and again turning upon the young man he assailed him with the remark, I know you. Look at his face. 1 can read coun- tenances." Before the episode had closed Mr McKenzie (chief constable), Inspector Duraton, and a few constables were seen walking up the gangway. The police at last," remarked the lecturer, amid cheers. MR MCKENZIE ASCENDED THK PLATFORM, I and having waited some time for silence, said I won't detain yon a moment. I am not here at all in sympathy with the speaker. (Loud cheers.) I have nothing to do with one side or the other. (Loud applause, and a Voice: He's a gentleman.) What I desire is that peace should be maintained. Let it not be said that a Cardiff audience dis- graced Cardiff. (Loud applause, and a feminine Voice Slattery is a disgrace to the town.) I sent a message to-day to the speaker with regard to the extravagant language used. (Loud applause.) No one objects to argument, but everybody objects to abuse. (Great cheering.) Now I am going to ask you to show your usual fair play to everybody. If you dissent from the speaker there is no harm in your saying so. (A Voice Bravo, Mr McKenzie.) But let it nou be said of you that you disgraced yourself by a.ny rowdyism. Mean while the lecturer stood facing the turbulent elements. The chief constable having left the platform, Mr Slattery again essayed to speak. But in vain. Persistent uproar remained the order of the evening. Cries of 'J'hree cheers for Mr McKenzie," were sandwiched with shouts of derision and execration of the lecturer. The opposition, recruited from outside, now made their way up tbe platform staircase, and under the nose of the lecturer loud veils of "Judas'" and pig were raised. It was obviously a hope- less task to continue the lecture, and, deeming prudence the better part of valour, Mr Sla' tery retreated to the ante-room. The audience, how- ever, had a suspicion that he had left only for a tiine-t suspicion strengthened by the fact that a rnasGof anti-Papal literature remained on the table. But Mr Slattery did not come back. The throng -who made no sign of leavizig-were then ad- dressed by the Rev. IFaae White and Mr Tandy, the audience giving them a patient hearing. Shortly before 10 o'clock the latter announced that the lecturer had escaped by a back entrance. The speaker asked the audience to join in the singing of a hymn, and then to disperse quietly in charity. A Catholic, however, ascended the platform, and begged leave to say a word for the other side. He declared it was not until the lec- turer commenced to make filthy charges that any row occurred. Amid such a pitiable scene of religious conflict the Doxology was sung by a few, the Benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Isaac White, aud soon after the audience slowly dispersed at the invitation of the police. EXIT. I Mr Slattery, as a matter of fact, remained in the ball until 11 o'clock. He was then drawn in a cab to the Angel Hotel, accompanied by a large crowd. large rowa,

MRS SLATTERY ON "THE CONFESSIONAL." More Lively Proceedings Rotten Eg'gs as Missiles. Rarely, if ever, in Cardiff bas a meeting for ladies only been characterised by such pro- ceedings as those which marked the lecture given by Mrs Slattery yesterday afternoon at Andrews' Hall. The subjects were The Confessional and Infant Baptism." Mrs Slattery commenced her lecture by warning her audience that on no account would she tolerate any interruption, and should any occur the offendiug party would have to go out. She proceeded to state by means of extracts read from Koman Catholic literature the evils of the practice of the confessional. During the reading of these extracts the first interruption occurred, a. quiet voice from the centre of the hall exclaiming, That is not true." Thereupon the lecturer called out, Will any lady go to the door and ask the doorkeeper to come and put this person out ? There was naturally some reo luctance on the part of those appealed to to comply with the request; but eventually lady from the reserved seats walked down to the door and beckoned in three members of the sterner sex who were waiting outside. The request was then made, Will auy lady point out the person who spoke ?"—the speaker making a nice dis- tinction between a lady and Ii. person." The person having been duly indicated was conducted out, and the lecture continued, From this time interruptions were frequent; ana although in many cases tho remaiiis made were indistinctly heard, it made little or no difference what the elieot of their interruptions might have been out the speakers had to go. In two cases Lile luterruptors dispensed with the aid of the gentlemen, and, having de- livered their remarks, did not wait to ue ejected, but let themselves out..During the lecturer's description of Komish literature, winch she char- acterised as being thoroughly Dad, a startling laterruptipij occurrcd, a iauy exciaimmg in a loud voice with more force than elegance, í YOU'llK A LIAlt:" I At this there wa,s a hubbub, and the guardians at the were promptly called n, and after some heated remarks the lady made an umlignihed et, and the lecturer proceeded to say that she had lectured for ten years in the United Hiutoa and kad never beard a wffan make ue of iJucb »forcible remark at any ot Oontmu- iugi Mrs Slattery said tliat t.hc. "L°rrutn Lil,Ul0'ics could not exist in England lf Protestants. How would the.Y ltJ?e like it if such questions as she uad dewwbed were asked them by their mm i nters ? Voif the body of the hall I should probably aim in tne mouth.) And quite right, too, rejoined the lecturer, and yet the priests were bonnd to ask those questions in the confessional.' Another slight disturbance here was caused by some inel:s,tlnct remarks from the back, The services of tile gentlemen in waiting were about, to be cø.Ued upon when attention was diverted by the most exciting event of the afternoon. A member of the audience, evidently suffering from great excnetnent, walked up to the front of the hall, taking carefal aim, called out, lake that/, throwing an egg which, judging from the look of it, would come under the description of EGGS FOR ELECTIONEERING PURPOSES." A scene of excitement ensued, and the audience to see better stood on the chairs, with the result that only those in the immediate vicinity were able to view what went on. Don't you dare to put a hand on me," was the remark made when the Three came in to remove the rash missile thrower. Whether they did or no one was unable to see as the crowd closed round, but the lady was out of the hall in a very short time amid some applause and one very audible groan. Are there wild Indians in Cardiff ?" asked the lecturer, "as that groan was exactly like their war.whoop, and I hope I shall not hear it again in this hall. As for their religion it is as rotten as their eggs." (Sensation.) It may be said that the police did not line the passage as on the occasion of the pre- vious meeting for i; women only," but it was noticeable that three men were required to eject one woman. A meeting can scarcely be called uneventful from which six ladies were ejected or quietly left the hall and one rotten egg was thrown, with, however, so bad an aim—it was a woman's throwing—that it missed its mark and fell an odorous mass to be cleaned up by the hall keeper. l--

."IIUIII1V'Io" CARDIFF VACCINATION QUESTION. "British Medical Journal's" Views. To-day's issue of the British Medical Journal has an editorial dealing with the Cardiff vaccina- tion question. After commenting upon the somewhat undue haste which has character- ised the decision oi the Board of Guardians to appoint one public vaccinator to do all the work that is necessary under the new Act, in lieu of the three public vaccinators hitherto employed, the article observes that the question must arise whether in a large Union such as Cardiff, with 173,000 inhabitants, it will be practicable for one man to pay all the visits and do all the work de- volving on a public vaccinator under the new Act, and the new order." Nevertheless, the Journal admits—" There is an important consideration in favour of whole-time appointments which must not be overlooked, aud that is the avoidance of jealousif's (md the maintenance of proper pro- fessional relations between medical men. The difficulties which occasionally occur where medical officers of health are engaged in private practice, and where they have in the course of their official duty to visit among families belong- ing to the clientele of their professional brethren, may be cited in illustration of our meaning. In the. past the work of public vaccinators has been done at public stations, but under the new system of domiciliary vaccination, friction will be much more likely to result. For this reason also it is open to argue that pnblic vacci- nators should be debarred from prpctice." The article proceeds to ask for generous treat- ment of the medical practitioners who are threatened with disturbance, and points out that all contracts made by Boards of Guardians with a public vaccinator must receive the sanction of the Local Government Board. We understand that the Association of Public Vaccinators is taking steps to invite the attention of the Local Government Board to the action which the Cardiff Board of Guardians has decided to take. and it is hoped that the Local Government Board may see j its way to require the Cardiff Board to act justly by their present public vaccinators. On what he based his opinion we do not know, and we very much fear that he is mistaken, and that fresh legislation will be necessary. It is to be hoped that the Government will take the opportunity (say, in connection with the Revaccination Bill, the introduction of which they have pledged themselves to consider favourably) to obtain the powers by which an equitable reorganisation of I the public vaccination service might become possible."

LLANDAFF DIOCESE. I An important meeting of the Bishop's Finance Committee was held yesterday at St. Mary's Parochial Vestry-room. Cardiff, presided over by the bishop. There were present the Dean of Llandaff, the Archdeacon of Llandaff, Canon Harding, lie v. C. E. T. Griffith, Sir Henrv Mather-Jackson, Mr R. W. Llewcllin, Mr G. T. Clark, Mr Jonas Watson, the secretary (Rev. J. E. Dunn). and General Lee. Letters of apology were read from ML S. C Bosanquet, Mr F. J Mitchell, Rev. A. J. Russell, and the Arch- deMon of Mon mouth. The Secretary reported that 190 parishes had sent in collections made on the 16th October to the aiocesau funds, amounting to £ 792. This sum was apportioned to the diocesan societies as follows :—The Llan- daff Church Extension SoBie 1380 Diocesan Church Baiiding Society., ±,132; the Poor Benefices Fund, 1-165 the Education Boards, £ 165. The secretary was asked to write to the incumbents of parishes which had not sent con- tributions requesting them to do eo. Mr G. T. rL Clark was appointed treasurer, and Rev. J. E. Dunn secretary to the Diocesan Finance Fund. The Bishop requested the Rev. C. E. T. Griffith, vicar of Trevetbin, to take up the duties of editor Of the Diocesan Magazine," which he consented to do, the Rev..7. E. Dunn, vicar of St. Hilda's, to act as assistant. The question of the dioeesan box was discussed, and it was thought that every clergyman should take a few boxes for circulation in his parish. This concludel the business.

TO ASSIST THE ARMY. I Important Innovation. I An Army order was promulgated last night announcing the formation of a new section of Militia from the 1st of December next, to be styled the "SpcipJ Service Seciion," and com- posed of individual Militiamen engaging for service abroad with the regular forces and of Militiamen engaging for service abroad with thoir Militia units. Militiamen engaging for the Special Service Section may belong to the artillery or infantry must fulfil the require- ments as to height, weight, and chest nleasurenien for their particular arm of the service, and must have at least 12 months unexpired current Militia engagement. They will be liable to serve for a period not exceeding 12 months in any part of the world, including India, whether an order em- bodying the Militia. is in force or not at the time, and after having served abroad they will revert to their ordinary Militia engagement. Militia Reserve men, it is also announced, may join the I Special Service Section.

CARDIFF LIBERALISM. I Visit of Alderman Wakarley. I On Thursday evening next Mr Arthur Wakerley. alderman and ex-Mayor of the borough of Leicester, visits Cardiff, and on that occasion, under the auspices of the Cardiff Liberal Associ- ation, he will address a public meeting ou matters political. Alderman Wakerley has the reputa- tion of being a ready and vigorous speaker, and his position in the world of politics is attested by the fact that at the last General Election he was the official Liberal candidate for the Melton division of Leicestershire. He has for many years been a prominent figure in the public life 'I' of that county, and last year was Mayor of the county town. He is an excellent speaker, enthu- tsiastic in the Progressive cause and next Thursday's meeting will no doubt be a large and I appreciative one.

I Railway Smash. DRIVER KILLED OUTRIGHT. FORTY WAGONS WRECKED, Permanent Way Blocked. A disastrous collision occurred on the London and North-Western Railway this morning at Basford Hall Siding, a mile south of Crewe, where extensive alterations are in progress. A light engine was standing waiting to proceed to Liverpool, when it was dashed int-o by a London meat train. William Lovett, of Stafford, the driver of the London train, was killed on the spot, and J. Dield, the fireman,was shockingly injured. John Henry Yates, the driver of the Liverpool engine, was also injured, and is not expected to recover. Forty wagons were wrecked. The Press Association is informed by the London and North-Western Company that the accident occurred between half-past 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. The company sta'.e that the train consisted of empty wagons from I London, and that the engine was also one from London which was standing on the line. A Crewe correspondent describes the train as a Ii meat train, and the conjecture is that it was only partially loaded. The whole train was wrecked, and the "lines north and south of Crewe are blocked, so that other trains bad to take a circuitous route via Whitchurch and Chester. and it will be night before the permanent way is properly cleared. It is said that the accident was caused by the deceased driver misinterpreting the signals. The smash is the most destructive to rolling stock of any that has occurred in the district.

SCENE IN COURT. Applicant Forcibly Elected. A strange scene occurred this morning at West- minster Police Court. A strongly-built young man asked Mr Sheil the presiding magistrate, if there was any remedy against a solicitor for annoying and molesting him ?—Mr Sheil Cer- tainly, you have a remedy against anyone who does anything of the sort.—Applicant said he was recently discharged from PentonviJle Prison after serving 18 months' imprisonment in connec- tion with a blackmailing case. Applicant was proceeding to say he had been to a certain solicitor when the Magistrate, interrupting, said: I will have nothing to do with you in any way. I won't have statements made against anyone in their absence. Stand down.- Applicant refused to leave the witness-box, say- ing he would be heard. Mr Sheil ordered the police to eject the applicant, atid he was at once seized. Applicant however, who had been recog- nised as Arthur Allen, who with r.nothsr convict gave evidence against a notorious blackmailer, insisted he would have it made known how he had been molested, adding that Lord So-aid-so, a well-knowu Pe.-r, was the cause of it. After a brief struggle the applicant was removed from the court. uu_- u

AFTER-DINNER RECREATION. At Newport Connty Police Court this after- noon Alfred Lewi?, farm bailiff at Penvlan Farm, was summoned for trespassing in search of game atChristchurch.Mr tt. Habberlield, tenant of the Cot Farm, Christchurch, on Wednesday, the 9th mst., heard a cock pheasant rise in the Cot Wood, and a. gun fired. Afterwards he met the defendant with a gun and two dogs in the wood, and said, Hello, Lewis, what are you doing here ?" For answer the young bailiff turned aoout and ran away. Complainant had the right of shooting over part of the farm, and in February last forgave defendant for shooting a rabbit. De- fendant set up an alibi, and called James Knowle. carpenter, and Richard Brown, blacksmith. They, however, spoke to incidents nearly two hours later, and it was asserted that defendant's home was only two fields a.way from the wood. Defeiiclant said there were several convictions against him for other ceople's tres- passing, and that he got blamed. He hnd a licence for a gun and a dog. The Bench thought the alibi too doubtful, and fined defendant 10i, telling him he had better be careful for the future about the gun and dog, or they would get him into difficulties. "L 1M'

I11 the past aud ever since the Moseley men brought off a surprise win at Cardiff in Hancock's memorable year, and so robbed the Welsh Metropolitans of the title of luviucibles, considerable interest has been centred in the fixture.

LONDON WELSH NOTES. A (Very) Minor International. Tha piece de resLstence of the first part of the Lon- don Welsh programme lias been reached to-day (Saturday), when the London Irish pay a visit to ¡ Cambrian Park. Judging from receat psrformances I there is not much to choose between the two teams, the advantage, as far R s actual results show, being slightly in fuvour of the Irith, who last Saturday made a pointir.ss arp,w wih the Saraoens, to whom the Weslh lost on the previous Saturday by senil points to nil. Where tha lush, however, have the pull over the friends, the Welsh, is in their ability to depend upon the same tc-ame nearly every week. Even yet, notwithstanding the increased supplv of :he taleut available, the Welsh have not turned out the same twice running, nor as selected, to which cause may be attributed almost whollv their down- fall against Beodfrd, the Saracens, and Olney, The opinion expressed in this column last weesj with re- gard to the forwards was confirmed by their perform- ance at Oiuey. where it was freev stated that they constituted the finest pack—excepting Northamp- ton-that had visited Olnev this season, and the referee—a JJcdford gentleman—considered them the equal of Northampton's. As per usual, the Welsh were forced to find substitutes at the last moment for a half and two three-quarters. Jack Williams partnered Abraham, and Barker went tliree-cjuar- ter. Recognising the weakness of their rear ranks, the forwards kept the ball asbiuch as possible, aud farly outplayed their opponents, whc, however, scored two unconverted tries to one by Barker. Ivor Lewis was in grand form, and might have scored once had Abraham paused to him instead fo hugging the ball. But Abr&ham was again unlucky this time in having his wrist injured, so tha-t he is unable to lake his place to-day. This is agi-eatniisfortarie, as there is nucha dearth of class half-backs amongst London Welshmen. But for this fact, the team to- day would have been an ideal one, and the way it has been rearranged—or mutilated-in consequence, is very disheartening to those who desire to see a really first-class team built. For instance, accord- ing to the last advices to hand, it is proposed that in the event of N. L. Jones's failing to assist, Will James, the instructor and pivot of the pack, shall play three-quarter, while Jack Williams, the only regular centre three-quarter, is playing again, haviug Lewis fJloHtltq a parnter. But if N. L." can pin v the Welsh ought to account for the Irish to-day with a try to spare. j

What is known to Northern trainers as the Isewmarket cough has been prevalent in several ISorth country stables this year, and the latest sufferers from the epidemic are the string of horse under the control of Mr W E. Elsey, Baumber. Gilbert, who gives up Sir Maurice Fitzgerald's horses with the present season's end, will be private trainer for a new patron of racing at Thetford, near Newmarket, next year, and have control of a big siable.

REWARDING THE BRAVE. The London Gazette announces that the Queen has conferred the Albert Medal ci the second class upon Lieutenant R. H. Macdonald, B.R End three privates in the Bengal Sappers —id Miners in recognition cf gallantry in saving hfe during an avalanche, in Lowerai Pass, and also upon Entvneer Toman for gYi„antry after thf eXTilosto: on ]J.M.S. Foam. The- act for winch Mr Toman has beer rewa-ded is thus officiaPv narratedThe Foam was carrying out her ftil! speed trials at last August, when an explosion occurred in the engine-room. Air Tor.au at once ordered everybody out of the engine-room, and himself remained and shut off steam, getting both arms arid hands badly scalded in the operation. The official report continues Mr Toman, thinking all the men were not up from the engine-room, went down and searched in the volume of steam, was fit a pressure of ,200 pounds to the which was fit a pressure of ,200 pounds to tbe square inch, when ire cylinder burst, but was unable to find anyone. He then tri d to get ou deck. but owing to the excessi" volume of steam he C twice fell hsii- way down tne ladder. He eventually reached the deck, ana nt once proceeded to turn on the fire evtiuguishers to the boiierr,, his hands at the time being.almoKt bare of skin. The valve v/hoel was heated to such an extent os to be aJmo- unbearable to the hands in an ordinary conditior, as the engines were flying round. Immediate!r' after the accident there was every clanger of tht connecting rod being driven through the oottom, hut it was greatly lessened by lf>< promptitude and pluck shown by Mr Toman in shutting ofi the inaiu stcp-ve'ves and so reducing the risk of the being snnk or seriously uamafiod and the lives of all en board being probably lost. Mr Toinao after having been driven out of the engine room and severely scalded, again went below into the engine-room, which was filled with steam, to semi-cli for anvore who may not ha^e been atiit to escap;. and only sue ceeded in finally getting out of the engine-room after two attempts. Mr Toman was very much scaldea on both arms and knees by the escape of sitam. which necessitated his removal to hospi- tal."
