DYING HARD. Colliers Don't Relish Having to Cave in. A MORE HOPEFUL ASPECT. The position in the South Wales coal trade is assuming a more hopeful aspect. The workmen of a large number of additional collieries in South Wales and Monmouth- shire have decided to resume work to-day (Tuesday), while in a number of instances collieries were re-started on Monday night. The refusal of the coalowners' emergency committee to receive the strikers' deputation has, by the terms of the resolution passed at the Rocking Stone meeting on Saturday, necessitated the calling of another mass meeting of the strikers. This will be held on Wednesday next on Pontypridd Common, when the future course of action of the dis- affected workmen will be discussed. THE RHONDDA. Work proceeding at Almost Every Colliery. Our special reporter telegraphs:—Work has been resumed at a considerable number of collieries in the Rhondda Valley this morning. At Ynisfeio Colliery, at the top of the Rhondda Valley, the men have all gone in. With regard to the Ocean Com- pany's colliery at Treorky the men are as yet divided. At Dare Colliery operations are in full swing, and a number of the men at the Park Slip Colliery are at work. Ton and Maindy Collieries are, however, at a standstill. Meet- ings of the hauliers and general workmen of these two collieries are now being held in order to consider what steps shall be taken. Tynybedw Colliery, owned by Messrs. Cory Bros., started on Monday night. At Gelly and Pentre collieries, owned by the same company, some men have been sent down to do repairing work, but the col- liers are not at work. Gelli level is being worked. The horses are being sent down this morning at some of the other collieries in preparation for a gene- ral resumption of work. I hear that in the Garw Valley the pits are still idle. At Clydach Vale the men are at work, and at Bodringallt the men have also resumed operations. These col- lieries belong to the Ferndale Company. At Upper Cymmer Colliery, belonging to the Messrs. Insole, the house coal men, numbering 150 to 200, have re- sumed. At the Steam Coal Colliery, Cymmer, however, work is still suspended. At Coeddae (Lewis Merthyr) there are very few men at work in the House Coal Colliery, and none in the Steam Coal. The Great Western Pit is idle. Taking the Rhondda Fach Valley through, all the pits are now going except Wattstown. Ynishir Stan- dard resumed work this morning, and about 200 men are down. The men at the Aber-Rhondda Colliery will go in this afternoon. The Albion Colliery, Cilfynydd, is still idle, and the men engaged at Ynysybwl Colliery resumed work on Monday night. INTIMIDATION AT YSTRAD. Two Women Fined for Threatening a Workman. At Ystrad Police-court on Monday three women, named Matilda Williams, Sarah Wil- liams, and Margaret Williams (alias Margaret Lewis) were charged with intimidation at Gelli on Wednesday last. Mr. James Phillips, Pontypridd, appeared on behalf of the complainant, and, in the course of his opening statement. sa;d that- the complainant, Lewis Lewis, was a ripper in the Gelli Colliery, and owing to the recent strike he was idle for five days. He was asked to go to work on Wednesday last, and consented. He had to cross the Gelli Bridge over the River Rhondda to go to work, and when he went there he saw a crowd of about 150 or 200 people, and on the bridge were a dozen women. The ringleaders of the crowd were the three defendants, and it was impossible for the man to pass without coming into contact with these women, and when he made an appearance he was met with shouts of'' Blackleg, Turncoat, "Herring," and Sliding-scale Man." Some- one called out, Hero's the b- coming." Some boys who were near threw dirt at him, and Matilda Williams said, The b- shall not go to work. Why did he not come out like the others. He has no chick or child to keep-only a wife-and if he comes we'll throw him into the river." The complainant was afraid of the crowd, and returned to his home, followed by the crowd. The man had not been to work since, and had received a letter stating that if he returned to work he would be cut into four pieces. When Matilda Williams received the summons she said she would take it to the Rocking Stone, and after that she would take jolly good care that the man would not go to work. In conclusion, he would ask the bench to deal with the defendants in an exemplary manner. Evidence was then called in support of Mr. Phillips's statement. The Bench did not consider there was suffi- cient evidence against Sarah Williams to convict, and she was dismissed, but the other two were fined Rl each, or in default a fortnight's imprisonment.

EMIN PASHA'S FATE. Decapitated and Devoured by Cannibals. A Reuter's telegram from Berlin on Monday says :-All doubt concerning the death of Emin Pasha now seems to be removed by the circum- stantial account of his murder given to Mr. A' J. Siyann in Ujiji. This gentleman travelled on Emin's route, and met an Arab, who, not only described Emin's route, but, although he had probably never seen a map in his life, sketched on a piece of paper the various places touched by the German explorer, and described how he had been attacked by the Arabs, who had made up their mind to kill him. Emin passed through the Ruanda country, and had followed one of the rivers flowing into the Congo. The Arabs followed him until he came to Seyd bin Abed's residence, where he stopped. Shortly after his arrival a number of Arabs went out, and asked Emin where he was going. Emin replied, "I am going to the coast." Another Arab then went forward, and said, You are Emin Pasha, who killed the Arabs at the Victoria Nyanza. I will kill you." He then took a large curved knife from his bolt, and, brandishing it aloft, struck off Emin's head. His body was then thrown to the Manyeipa, who devoured it, his Nubian followers being afterwards killed and eaten. In taking into account the credi- bility of this report, Mr. Swann said it must be remembered that Ujiji is the nearest spot to that where Emin had last been heard of. The greatest uncertainty is felt on the subject at the coast, but the fact that Emin has never been seen or heard of since he reached Ruanda speaks volumes.

A BOY'S CONFESSION. After being Threatened a Lad Tells an Extraordinary Story. An extraordinary tragedy has occurred at Aintree, near Liverpool, the victim being the ten year old la<\of a Liverpool dairyman, named Trueman. The boy along with others, older than himself, went for a country walk on Satur- day. The others returned without Trueman, and would not say what had become of him. Early on Sunday morning Mrs. Trueman went to the house of the eldest of the boys, aged about thirteen, and tnreatened to give him in charge unless he told what he knew of her son. He then confessed that the little fellow had been drowned in the canal at Aintree, and further stated that the other boys had fastened a big stone to a piece of cord, and persuaded the boy Trueman to throw it into the canal. He did so, but the weight of the stone drew him in also. The body had bean found meanwhile by the police. It was shockingly cut and mutilated by the propellers of passing sf«amboats.

RIOTING. Welsh and Scotch Miners Fighting at Llanelly. A LADY SERIOUSLY INJURED. Our Llanelly correspondent telegraphs :-On Monday night serious rioting occurred at the Great Mountain Colliery, near Llanelly, and in the fighting which ensued between the Scotch and Welsh miners several have been injured. Mrs. Beith, the manager's wife, a Scotch lady, was seriously injured. Although a rumour is circulated that fatal blows were given, the full facts have not yet been obtained, in consequence of the district being situated in a very remote p art of the country.

LIQUOR LICENCES. Renewals, Objections, and Removals. JUSTICES' JUDGING. The business of the Cardiff Licensing Sessions was resumed on this morning at the Town- hall, Cardiff. The magistrates present were the Stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis), Sir Morgan Morgan, Dr. Paine, Alderman Jacobs, Alder- man Sanders, Mr. J. W. Vachell, and Mr. Lewis Williams. Application for a Transfer. Mr. Rees Williams, barrister-at-law, applied on behalf of Mr. John Ruddock, beer seller and refresh ment-house keeper, of the King's Cross Hotel, Caroline-street, for the removal of the beerhouse licence of the King's Cross to a house situated at the corner of Cornwall-road and Hereford-street, to be called the Saltmead Hotel, Canton. Mr. Ivor Bowen, B.L., appeared on behalf of the temperance party Mr. J. H. Jones repre- sented the owners of neighbouring hotels Mr. Arthur Lewis the owner of the Neville Hotel; while Mr. Vachell appeared for property owners. Mr. Williams explained that the application, if acceded to, would not add to the number of existing licences, but would only have the effect of removing a licence from a locality where it was not so much wanted to a locality where it was absolutely needed. The King's Cross, from which it was proposed to remove the licence, was situated on the Hayes Bridge, at the corner of Caroline-street, in close proximity to Bridge-street, Bute-road, and Mary Ann- street, which had been the scene of one half the cases in the criminal calendars. The King's Cross was surrounded by other licensed houses, there being no less than thirteen within a radius of one hundred yards. It was now proposed to remove the licence of the King's Cross to new premises to be called the Saltmead Hotel, at Canton, in a new and thickly populated district. In 1885, he believed, there was no houses. There were now 1,786 built and occupied, with an estimated population of 4,716, and a great many more houses were in course of erection. The hotel was erected at a cost of £2,000, and contained a large club-room, with four other public rooms, bath-ronms, and every convenience. It was, therefore, in every way superior to the house from which it was proposed to remove the licence. The landlord of the King's Cross would also remove to the new hotel. He had carried on the King's .1"1- S! .J"I J"I -L_8 VZUtltl ior sixteen years, ana, wren tne exception of a. trifling fine of 5s. inflicted twelve years ago, he had an absolute clean sheet. That spoke volumes as to Mr. Rud- dock's capability to manage an hotel. Mr. Budgen, architect (Jones, Richards, and Bndgen), produced a plan of the Saltmead Hotel, which he thought was perfectly suitable for the purpose. By Mr. Lewis The site is not far from the Saltmead Board School. Cross-examined by Mr. Ivor Bowen The entrance to the playground is immediately behind the public-house. I am aware this is the third application for a licence. Mr. E. M. Corbett, surveyor to the Bute Estate, produced a plan showing that there were 354 occupied houses, and a population of 2,124, nearer the proposed hotel than any other, while other spots were being rapidly built over. The hotel was built before the Saltmead Board School, and the school board preferred that site. The house, in his opinion, was thoroughly suitable and wanted in the district. Joseph Harding, 3, Hereford-street, who lives opposite the proposed hotel, supported the appli- cation. A great deal of shebeening went on in the neighbourhood, which he attributed to the want of another hotel. Another licensed hotel would do away with the nuisance, and be a con- venience to the neighbourhood. Mr. Lewis What do you mean by shebeening ? -Illicit beer selling-inostly on Sundays. Mr. Ivor Bowen Not the celebrated Hotel de Marl ?—No it is the mother club—(laughter) -the Higher Grange. Mr. Jones Surely, you don't object to she- beening ?—I do. Why, what are you P—A traveller for Sketche's ginger beer. (A laugh.) You can take my card if you like. (Mr. Jones declined to accept the proferred card, amid laughter round the table and in court.) Didn't you serve sheebeens six months' ago P -No. You are not a teetotaler ?—Certainly not. (Laughter.) Do you find any difficulty as to shebeens ?— I keep a barrel at home. (Renewed laughter.) Witness, in further cross-examination, ex- plained that the other public-houses in the locality were so small that on a Saturday night there was no time and not enough roem to draw beer in jars for the Sunday consumption. He himself had had to wait a considerable time without being served at the Neville Hotel, and in consequence had been much inconvenienced. Isaac Jones, boiler-maker, 6, Clare-street William Henry Slade, Cornwall-road; and other witnesses, including the applicant, supported the application- The Bench, without retiring, refused the application. (Proceeding.)

LORD ABERDARE. Recommends Welsh M.P.'s a Letter He Wrote 40 Years Ago. Lord Aberdare, in a communication which appeared on Monday in full typographical honours in the Manchester Guardian, refers to a letter of his own written forty years ago to his dear and gifted friend, Mr. Thomas Stephens, of Merthyr Tydfil. At that time Mr. Henry Austin Bruce, as his lordship of to-day was then, was new to a political career, sensitive to the good opinions of his constituents and countrymen, and anxious to remove any apparent contradiction between his votes and his opinions. In the letter to his old friend, which he has just had the opportunity of consulting again—it was dated May 4, 1853— Mr. Bruce explains that votes which ke had recently given against Mr. Locke's motion for the extension of the JE10 franchise, and a fiscal motion of Mr. Hume's, and certain motions of Mr. Williams as to probate and legacy duties did not mean that he was against the principle of any of those measures, but merely that he did not think it expedient, as a supporter of the then Government, to hamper them by forcing them into piecemeal legislation where they con- templated broad measures. This forty-year-old letter, says Lord Aberdare, may, perhaps, be -ead with interest by Welshmen of the present day, and especially by many and honest, con- scientious M.P.'s perplexed by the difficulty of steering a wise course between the apparently rival claims of patriotic duty, on the one hand, and loyalty to a Liberal and sympathetic Minis- try, on the other. It will serve to show that these difficulties were by no means unknown to Welsh M.P.'s 40 years ago, and how they were faced by one who is not afraid to say that he endeavoured to serve his constituents honestly and at some risk to himself

Look on This Picture and on That. The following contradictory pronouncements by Mr. Justin M'Carthy are set out by the Pall Mmll Gazette:— Extract from the report of Mr. M'Carthy's speech in the House of Commons, August 31, 1893 :— Mr. Justin M'Carthy said that the hon. and learned member had declared that the House of Lords had a right to rejeot any Bill which did not come up to them backed by the approval of the people but how could that House know what were the opinions of the people except from the votes of their representatives in that Houser" Extract", from a chapter of Mr. M'Carthy's work, The History of Our Times," en- titled The Fall of the Great Adminis- tration "When the Peers begin to be firm and to assert their dignity, it may always be taken for granted that there is not much popular force at the back of the Government.

ENGLISH COAL WAR. Damaging Property at Mansfield. POLICE ON THE SCENE. A large body of miners met on Monday at one of the Butterley Company's pits, situate a few miles from Mansfield, and did great damage be- cause some men were believed to be at work. All the windows were smashed, and the locomotives overturned. Subsequently a few of the strikers were allowed to descend the pit, but they could find no one at work, and the mob gradually dis- persed. The police subsequently arrived on the scene. Ballot at Dunfermline. The Press Association Dunfermline corre- spondent states:-A ballot was taken among the Fife miners on Monday to ascertain whether work should be resumed at 12J per cent. ad- vance. By noon the results of the ballot at seventeen out of twenty-eight collieries had been received, and the returns showed by a majority of three to one that the men are in favour of resuming work. I Nottingham Colliery Owners Firm. A special meeting of the Council of the Notts Miners' Association was held at Nottingham on Monday to receive replies from the colliery owners to a circular letter sent them asking for the withdrawal of notices of 25 per cent. reduc- tion and to permit the miners to resume work on the former terms. Replies from nine coalowners in Notts were against the withdrawal of the notices for the reduction and only one in favour. The council re-affirmed its decision not to accept any reduction. YorKshire Strikers aud Non-Unionists At noon on Monday about 800 miners o I strike in the Leeds district marched to the pit of Colonel Gascoyne, at Garforth, and demanded that non-unionists, who bad been employed since the strike, should cease work. The leader of the strikers had a consultation with the pit manager, who promised that the men should dis- continue work as soon as that shift was up. Position in North Staffordshire. I A meeting of the coalmasters of North Staffordshire was held at Stoke on Monday, 1 when it was resolved that, the miners of North Staffordshire having ceased work of their own accord for the purpose of supporting the Miners' j Federation, work can be only resumed ontheterms f of any settlement which may be arrived at £ between the federated coalowners and the Miners' Federation. The official report of the meeting adds that, according to this resolution, s any colliery in the district may resume work ( pending a settlement between the federated coalowners and the Miners' Federation.

Before the conclusion of the business of the Swansea guardians on Monday the Chairman (Sir John Llewelyn) announced that he would at a future meeting propose that the meetings should be held fortnightly instead of weekly, on the ground that weekly meetings were unneces- sary, and the change would be of benefit both to the guardians and the ratepayers. At the meeting of the Llanelly Local Board of Health on Monday a letter wasread from the postmaster (Mr. C. F. Thomas), requesting the board to consider an application to relieve the local postmen of one afternoon delivery on Tues- days, It was decided to grant the application. The Lord Bishop of Llandaff will open a much-needed mission chapel in the parish of All Saints, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening. The chapel is dedicated to St. Elvan, and will be used both for Divine service and other parochial agencies. Vicar Hyslop is to be congratulated on this further addition to the good work already accomplished. The statement for the week ending September 2, 1893, of the Cardiff Provident Dispensary, Guildford-street, shows :-Number of atten- dances at the dispensary with medicine supplied, 245 number of visits paid by the medical staff at patients' own homes, 80 number admitted during the week, 4. Applications for member- ship to be made to Mr. J. Bargery, at the dis- pensary, any day in the week from nine a.m. till eight p.m., except Wednesday, when the dispen- sary closes at four p.m.—HERBERT M. THOMP- SON, hon. sec. The Lady Day half-yearly rent audit of Earl Cawdor's estate, situate in the respective parishes of Llandingat, Llanfairarybryn, Cily- cwm, and Cayo, was held at Llandovery on Monday. His lordship allowed to all his tenants an abatement of 10 per cent., and also returned to them the tithes for the last half-year, which together would thereby equal a deduction of In per cent. Ann Williams, aldas Ann Kane, alias Ann Kent, was charged at Neath on Monday with stealing a purse containing X5 in gold and some silver. When prisoner was arrested a purse containing C3 in gold and five shillings and eleven pence was found in her possession. Prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, was com- mitted to the quarter sessions. At Newport on Monday John Shorney, a labourer, of 16, Canal-parade, was summoned for being unlawfully in possession of three dead rabbits, a ferret, and four nets, in George-street, at 5.15 a.m. on Sunday. Defendant, who ad- mitted that he had caught the rabbits near Tre- degar Park, was fined 10s. 6d., with the alter- native of fourteen days. The drainage question was again discussed at the monthly meeting of the Monmouth Town Council on Monday. The Mayor, referring to the visit to the borough of Mr. Beesley, civil engineer, of Westminster, said he was glad to see that in the plans submitted it was proposed to collect all the sewage by gravitation. As to utilising water as a motive power he thought that if they could get. sufficient water power they might try electrical installation. His opinion was that if they comb-lied the two schemes— disposal of sewage and electrical installation^— the profit of the one would pay the expenses of the other. It was decided to appoint a commit- tee of five to deal with the matter. The monthly meeting of the Barry District School Board was held on Monday evening. The clerk (Mr. W. H. Lewis) was authorised to apply to the Public Works Loan Commis- sioners for the balance of loan, £1,590, for the erection of Romilly-road Infants' School. Miss K. E. Carr was appointed head-mistress of Cadoxton Infants' School in place of Miss Wilcox, promoted; and Miss S. J. Lowther, Holton-road, was appointed head-mistress of BMry Intents' School, >

SPORTING CHAT, I Gossipy Paragraphs of the Turf and Field. Cuttlestone at home goes remarkably well in his mile and a half gallops, but he will carry very little, if any, stable money to-day, Red Eyes and Golden Drop, who are popular fancies for the Cesarewith. will, it is stated* be found amongst the acceptances for that race, Many of the leading jockeys believe that PhooionwiU win the St. Leger, It is lucky for some of us that jockeys are invariably wretched tipsters. Rob Neil does not by his credentials promise to half stay the distance for the Cesarewitch, and the best of Hobbs's lot may turn up in Van. guard, one of the four years olds almost at the bottom of the handicap. Harbinger will wait for the Doncaster Stakes, and this sets M. Cannon at liberty to ride Ravensbury, a conditional arrangement made after the unfortunate defeat in the Grand Prix de Paris. The report that Watts would be claimed for Childwick or Siffleuse had no foun" dation in faot, and if Sir Blundell Maple's colours are carried in Wednesday's battle the wearer will be the filly.

The Right Hon. Leonard Courtney at Lis- keard on Monday defended the Opposition from the charges of obstruction. The session had not been wasted, because the people had been taught what Home Rule really was. The cohesion of the majority was only secured by promises to the various sections, and the course Mr. Glad- stone had pursued showed conclusively there was no strong national feeling behind him. He criticised the financial proposals, condemning the Gol, i,, final decision as the worst of all the preceding ones. The third and last scheme,for the retention of theSO.Trish members, was also the worst that bad been proposed. Mr. Gladstone had neveii really grasped the condi- tions of the Irish protlem. Home Rule was the L abLAndonment of a great work in despair. STILL ON THE WRONG TRACK. I

The third and concluding fixture of the festival at Scarborough commenced in delightful weather on Monday on the North Marine Ground before the largest attendance that has so far assembled. The English side was as advertised, with the exception of Murdoch, who, owing to an attack of rheumatism, stood out in favour of Newham. From the Australians Coningham, Jariis, and Giffen were the absentees. O'Brien won the toss, and sent in Jackson and Stod- dart. at a quarter-past twelve to face the bowling of Turner and Giffen. Both batsmen began carefully. Stoddart speedily improved matters by scoring 3 and 4 on the leg side from Giffen. For a longtime Stod- dart did nearly all the scoring off Giffen. who proved terribly expensive, so much so that 51 went up in less than forty minutes. Stoddart had made 38 of them, including five 4'e and a 6. Then Trumble took the South Australian's place. After Trumble had displaced Giffen Turner gave way to M'Leod, but, though the changes partially stopped the run-getting, they did not part the batsmen. As a result of an hour's cricket 78 were recorded. As he approached his 50 Stoddart played carefully, and Jackson made the majority of runs. The 100 went up at half-past one, Stoddart completing his 50 with the same stroke. A little Jater Jackson made his 50, and then Stoddart hit out harder than ever, despite that Trott and Bruce, and afterwards Turner and Giffen, went on, and completed his 100 before lunch. On continuing after luncheon only 6 runs were added when, at 176, Jackson was finely caught at long-on. His splendid 62 had occupied an hour and 55 minutes, and included five 4's, one 3, and nine 2's. Directly GUlm came in Stoddart was missed by Gregory. Trumble went on at 216, and, with his second ball, got Stoddart caught at slip. He had only batted two hours and a half for his brilliant 127, and his hits were a 6, eighteen 4' two 3's, and eleven 2'8. Score when stumps were dia« ii:— THORNTON'S ELEVEN. First innings.

FOOTBALL. SHEFFIELD UNITED v. DERBY COUNTY.— This League game was played at Bramall-lane, Sheffield, in hot weather, before 6,000 spectators, on Monday. Derby, winning the toss, had the sun behind them. Derby attacked first, but Howlett saved from Keay. Hill missed a fine chance of scoring for the United. After even play the Slieffielders pressed, Robinson saving from Drummond, Gallocher, and Needham. Derby defended finely, but Hill scored for the United just before time, when the score was-,United, one goal Derby nil. Changing ends, the Derby forwards improved, and a fter six minutes MacMillan equalised. Some fine goal-keeping by Robinson thwarted a brilliant attack by the United. After 25 minutes Bloomer scored again for Derby from a corner. The game was fast and sternly contested after this, but no more scoring was done, Derby winning a good game by two goals to one for the United. A Player's Leg Broken. During a football match in a field near Harehills Lane on Saturday afternoon Patrick Madden, a boy of thirteen years, had one of his legs broken. He was conveyed in a horse ambulance to the infirmary.

Volunteer Intelligence. INSPECTION AT NEWPORT. The annual inspection of the men of the New- port, Risca, and Panteg Companies of the 1st Monmouthshire Artillery took place at Llantar- nam on Monday afternoon by Colonel Parlby, of Bristol, the inspecting colonel of Artillery for the Western Division. The inspection took place in a field opposite the Greenhouse Inn, and, the weather being gloriously fine, there was an attendance of 1,500 people. The total strength ot the field was 476. Lieute- nant the Hon. J. Rolls acted as aide-de-camp to the colonel, and the following officers were present:—Colonel Wright (commanding the Newport Brigade), Mafor Wallis (in command of the dismounted parade), Hon. Major Williams, Captains W. Clifford Phillips (New- port), Wilkinson (Risca), and Watts (Panteg); Lieutenants Evans, Watts, James, and Llewellyr, The men arrived at Llantarna,m about one o'clock, and partook of luncheon provided on the ground by Mr. S. G. Hobbs, of Newport. At three o'clock the inspecting officer arrived and was received with a general salute. The men then went through various drills and movements, all of which were executed with precision and smartness, reniarkablv good time being kept. The movements with the dozen 16-pounder guns (four from each battery) were very smart. The general appearance of the companies was excel- lent. At the close ofjthe inspection Colonel Parlby warmly complimented the officers upon the efficient state of the various companies. RIFLE COMPETITION AT MONMOUTH. The final competition for a cup given to his company by Captain Powell took place ou Monday, and resulted in a win Corporal W. Walters, with an aggregate of 461 points. The conditions were six monthly competitions, the top man at each competition to ho handicaiiped three points. The three top scores were as follow :—Corporal W. Walters, 461; Sergeant J.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Interesting Pars About Interesting People. The Queen has never yet allowed a lady to smoke a cigarette in her presence. She has the greatest horror of a woman smoker. The Queen has presented an engraving of her full-length portrait, with her Majesty's auto- graph, to the Morley Convalescent Home, Dover. For the five o'clock tea-table there is a fad for using antique silver tea-caddies, such as were in use in the reign of George II., and the woman who has been fortunate enough to acquire one of these curiosities is now the most envied of her particular set. Cardinal Vaughan, who has been staying with his brother, Colonel Vaughan, Courtfield, near Ross, paid a visit last week to his old school- master, the Rev. Father Abbott, of the Catholic Church, Monmouth. Mrs. Bancroft continues to make such satis- factory progress towards recovery from the effects of her recent severe accident that there is every probability of her being able to resume her part in Diplomacy" on the 11th inst., when Mr. Hare intends to produce the play at Liverpool. The Bishop of Ripon and Mrs. Boyd- Carpenter have been staying for a fortnight at a farmhouse in the remotest corner of the dio- cese of Ripon, which forms a wedge between Durham and Cumberland. They visited churches, schools, and parsonages daily, and called also on many laity of all ranks. The death is recorded at £ hesteivof Mr. John Bridge, father of Dr.^J. P Bridge, of West- minster Abbey, and Dr. J., e. Bridge, organist of Chester Cathedral. Mr/Bridge was formerly in the choir at Rochester Cathedral. When on a visit to Chester Triennial Festival in 1883 he was stricken with paralysis, from which he never wholly recovered. He was in his 73rd year.

Swansea Pilotage Survey On Monday the pilotage committee of the Swansea Harbour Trust made their annual survey of the Swansea pilotage district. The favourite passenger steamer Alexandra was engaged for the trip, and left the South Dock entrance at 11.30 a.m. A large number of invi- tations were issued to gentlemen connected with the port, and a goodly company embarked on the trip, but the length of time occupied resulted in a good many being compelled to decline. Amongst the members of the pilotage committee present were Messrs. Thomas Glasbrpok, Albert Mason, Wm. Pike, and J. Clarke Richardson. Mr. David Tamlyn, one of the pilots' representatives, gave the benefit of his experience in directing the trip. The Alexandra first went eastward to Nash, and then went down Channel nearly to the Worm's Head, returning to the Mumbles in the evening. During the day luncheon was partaken of by the company on board, and, the weather being fine, a very enjoyable excursion was the result.

EXHUMATION. Lieutenant Hambrough Was Murdered. DOCTORS HAVE DECIDED. The Press Association Ventnor correspon* dent telegraphs that the remains of the late Lieutenant Windsor Cecil Dudley Hambrough^ who was believed to have been accidentally shoti at Ardlamont, Scotland, were exhumed in churchyard of the parish church of iSt.| Catherine Ventnor, on Monday afternoon by^ order of the Home Secretary. Shortly after s four o'clock, Mr. J. C. Maclnlloch, ofl Inverary,procurator fiscal, and Mr. M'Naughton*| deputy-procurator fiscal, of Argyllshire, arrived with the authority of the Home Secretary. They were accompanied by Dr. Littleiohn, of Edin- burgh, and Dr. M'Millan. the gentleman who examined the body before burial, and appoint* 1 to examine the remains on behalf o! the Crown, and Dr. Sanders, of Edinburgh, who was pre- sent on behalf of the accused man Monson. Dr. Whitehead, of Ventnor. afterwards joined them in the interests of the Hniubrotigh family. Major Hambrough arrived at Ventnor in time to witness from the high road the excavation ir the graveyard.—In answer to inquiries, Majoi Hambrough confirmed the statement that tw< insurances for £10.000 each were effected on hi, son's life and assigned to Mrs. Monson, and not to Mr. Monson. Beyond this he declined to commit himself to any statement, remarking that in a sense he was in the hands of the police, and did not feel at liberty to make any observations with regard to the case. The body was encased in a massive oak coffin with silver mounting's. (In its removal from the grave it was placed in a hearse and taken to the mortuary at Ventn..r Cemetery, which is situated on the upper of hills in a line with St. Boniface Down. The investigation, it is stated, showed that the shot must have been fired from a distance, as the -o was no mark of singeing surrounding the wound. The body was not re-interred till about ten o'clock. The Press Association's Ventnor correspon-' dent, telegraphing this morning, states that Professor Littlejohn's testimony regarding the death of Lieutenant Hambrough will be alto- gether opposed to the tl" j y that be lost his life through an accident. In addition to the absence of singeing of the hair it is regarded as a signifi cant fact that no wadding from the cartridge was found in the head, photographs of which. have been taken in six different positions. The party which attended the exhumation left- Ventnor this morning for Glasgow, and will proceed thence to Inverary to attend the hear- ing of the charge against M on son, which will be resumed on Friday next.

A TERRIBLE "RUSH. Panic Stricken People Escape From a Burning Theatre. The Central News correspondent at Vienna telegraphed on Monday evening :—A terrible catastrophe is reported from Oetend. almost equalling the disaster at the Ring Theatre. The Eden Theatre is reported to be in flames, and several persons have lost their lives. As soon as the alarm of fire was raised a terrible panic seized upon the audience. A large number of persons were injured, but complete details are wanting. A Central News telegram from Brussels this morning says :—Details of a fire which occurred on Monday night at the Eden Theatre, at Ostend, show that a great disaster was very narrowly escaped. Shortly before the curtain rose a portion of the proscenium was set on fire by a gas jet, and the flames rapidly spread to other portions of the stage appliances. The audience rose in great disorder and a rush was made for the door, the panic stricken people fighting desperately to escape from the building. Many persons were injured in the struggle, but the number is not at present accurately known. The whole of the stage, with its appliances, cur- tains, and scenery was destroyed, although the fire was extinguished by nine o'clock.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. Results of the Second Ballots. A Reuter's telegram from Paris on Monday evening says :—The dividing line between the different political denominations are so narrow that diverse results may be arrived at. A political calculation distributes the figures as follows :—Republicans and Radicals, 409 Socialists—Radical and pure Socialists, 79 Rallied, 29 Conservatives, 64.
