LEFT FOR LEIGH.
LEFT FOR LEIGH. A Cardiff Footballer Gone North. QUINS WILL MISS HIM. Wilding, the well-known three-quarter, left Cardiff en Monday night for Leigh. I met him at the Great Western Station," writes "Welsh Athlete," and on asking' him his destination he told me he was off to the Lan- cashire town where he bad secured a g-ood situation. Work is the one thing wanted to bring out the ex-Harlequin mail's merits as a three-quarter, for that he has merit is un- doubted. I presume we shall now see him figuring in the ranks of the club belonging to the town where he is working. To the Harle- quins his loss will be a great blow, and cer- tainly it will be a difficult task for them to fill his place oh the wing. I spoke to Wilding before he left re his suspension by the A.A.A., and, undoubtedly, he felt what he termed the injustice done him very keenly. Even if I had filled up the entry form myself, and by accident left out the event in question, then the sentence would have been harsh enough, goodness knows,' he said, but when the form was filled up for me, and I never saw it until I got on the ground, then the verdict was altogether too severe for such an unfortunate slip of the pen.'
[ ECHOES OF THE STRIKE.
[ ECHOES OF THE STRIKE. Cymmer Colliers Allege That They Are Being Victimised. Great dissatisfaction prevails amongf the work- men employed at the Cjnither Colliery owing to a number of them having been refused work since the re-starting on Tuesday last. The men allege that they ate being victimised owing to the part taken by thew. during the recent strike. This allegation is denied by the management, except in one or two cases where extreme intimi- dation and threats ha.d been used towards the engineinan. It appears that it one district of the colliery, where about 50 men were employed prior to the strike, a large fall of roof has taken place, necessitating the employment of about thirty labourers night and day to clear it. This portion of the colliery will not be able to produce eoai for another month. Under the circumstances, the officials assert that, as thfe men left work illegally for a period of five weeks, they have a perfect liberty to re- instate men whom they think proper. On Mon- day morning the men gave 48 hours' notice to abstain from work for one dây-to-morrow, Wednesday—to hold a meeting to discuss and consider the present state of things.
READY FOR THE RUSH.
READY FOR THE RUSH. Many Will Lose Their Lives m the Scramble for Laftd in Arkansas. A Dalsiel's telegram from Arkansas City B&yfe:—There has been great excitement for some time past among the people who have assembled at the outskirts of what is known as Cherokee Strip, ab indian reservation, wheih is to be declared opeh for settlement on Thursday next. The scene during the past few days has been peculiarly interesting. Upwards of 100,000 men and women have assembled on the border waiting for the opportunity of rushing in and seizing the land. Many are enduring great privations in order to become possessed of it. Enormous crowds have congregated the city, and not a loaf of bread Was to be had on Monday. It is feared that there will be much misery among the settlers before the land can be put under cultivation. Trains are arriving every few hours, consisting of from ten to fifteen carriages. Not only have the vehicles been filled, but people crowded the steps and roofs. Hundreds of horses and swift-footed bronchos are ready to dash into the reserve the moment it is declared open. The novel feature in connection with the opening of these lands is the presence of a great number of bicyclists, each carrying a canteen of water, provisions, outfit, and blankets. They believe that they will be able to get ahead of the horses in the race for the finest portions of the land. Among the bicyclists Are 30 women. Several people were overcome by the intense heat of Monday, and it is feared that few will recover. All the exciting scenes whish characterised the early settlement of California, have been re-enacted here, including the hanging of a number of horse thieves.

ENGLISH COAL WAR. -+- The Outlook is Now More Hopeful. BALLOTS OF MINERS. The Press Association Manchester correspou dent, telegraphing on Monday, says The ballot of the men of the Manchester Miners' Association, numbering 4,000, was taken this morning, and showed that the men were unani- mously opposed to accepting either a reduction or arbitration. The official result of the ballot of the Derby- shire miners on the three points—whether they will agree to 25 per cent. reduction or part thereof, or accept arbitration, or allow the men to resume work who can do so at the old rate -shows an overwhelming negative answer on every point. Mass Meeting of North Wales Coliiers. A mass meeting of North Wales colliers wa held on Wrexham Racecourse on Monday' when a letter was read from Mr. William Craig, North Wales and North Staffordshire colliery proprietor, in which he said lie had always held that the employers made a great mistake in asking for a 25 per cent. reduction. Such a demand was unprecedented in the history of the trade and in his opinion most unreasonable. On the other hand, he thought the men would have done better not to have applied the twentieth rule. Resolutions were passed unanimously pledging Unionists and non-Unionists alike to stand out until there was a general resumption of work; to remain loyal to the Federation of Great Britain, and to maintain the peace. <h-- Refused to Leave work. A Heywood telegram states that the men at the Doldrums Norden Pit have been asked by the Miners' Federation to cease work, but have refused. They had, however, given the masters notice to leave unless wages are increased forth- with. Goods Trucks Smashed. Several goods trucks were smashed while being shunted this morning' on the Great Western Railway at Slouch, and all traffic from Windsor to London is being worked on the down line pending rfepairs. Projected Franco-Belgian Strike. A Central News telegram from Brussels this nlorhing- says:—A great many miners in the Great Borinage colliery district are resolutely preparing- for a strike next week in accordance with a resolution in favour of a Franco-Belgian strike for increased wages passed at the con- ference at Leas on Monday. This ection may indirectly assist the strikers in England.
THE AMERICAN CUP.
THE AMERICAN CUP. Valkyrie has Probably been Caught in a Cyclone. A Dalziel's telegram from Boston on Monday says :—No tidings have yet been received of Lord Dunraven's yacht Valkyrie. The steamer Pemblos, from Gibraltar with a cargo of sugar, which arrived this afternoon, reports that on August 27, she passed through a terrible cyclone northward of the Azores. One of her boats was completely smashed, and another stove in. It is thought that the Valkyrie may have been caught by the same cyclone. Vigilant to Represent America. A telegram from New York on Monday says: -The third of the trial races among the yachts from which one will be selected to compete for the America Cup took plaee to-day. The Vigilant won by seven minutes, the Colonia being second, and the Jubilee third, while the Pilgrim was last. A strong east wind was blow- ing during' the race. The course was fifteen miles to windward and back. The Vigilant will be chosen to compete with Lord Dunrateii's Valkfrie for the Cup. Lord Dunraven's Departure. The Earl of Dunraven will probably leave Liverpool for New York on the 18th. He will be accompanied by the Marquess of Ormonde, Lord Wolverton, and several other well-known yachting men. Lady Dunraven and the Ladies Rachel and Aileen Wyndliam Quin alfeo go to New York to see the match for the America Cup, but will probably leave London by an earlier boat, in order to pay some visits in the States. They will be accompanied by Mr. Charles Kerr (Lady Dunraven's brother). Mr. Smith-Barrv and his wife, who is an American, will probably go over about the Same time. Lord Dunraven will nominally be the guest of the New York Yacht Club, but will take the oppor- tunity to visit many of his old friends during his stay, which, however, will not be very long, as he has arranged shooting parties at Adare Manor and Dunraven Castle for November. Mr. Ratsey, the well-knoWn sailmakor, has already gone over in order to see that the Valkyrie's sails are in thorough trim before she sails her first match. The Valkyi'ie ought to be getting near her desti- nation now, as, judging from steamship reports, she had a good shift of easterly winds.
DISGRACEFUL SCENES.
DISGRACEFUL SCENES. Caused by Sunday Gamblers at Newport. At Ne'vport Borough Police-court on Monday (before Messrs. J. Moses, H. A. Huzaey, and J. W. Jones) James Holland, a labourer, was charged on remand with violently assaulting a man named Thomas Pritchard.—The case, parti- culars of which have already been published, was adjourned for a week owing to the somewhat serious nature of the assault.—Complainant now said he was better, but did not feel right.—Mr. W. L. Moore, who appeared for the defence, contended that defendant was acting in self- defence when he struck the prosecutor. Mr. Moore mentioned that every Sunday the field near Caerleon-road in which the assault was committed was visited by about 40 or 50 men and boys, who went there to gamble. They pulled down hedges, and if the weather was wet they broke into out- houses. Defendant was placed on the field to prevent the trespassing. Complainant was a regular Sunday visitor.—Witnesses were called, who said they saw Pritchard and a gang of men throwing stones at defendant.—Coun- cillor Morgan, who gave evidence, said on Sunday he counted several men and 50 boys playing cards on the same field.—The Magis- trates expressed surprise that the police had allowed such disgraceful practices to exist.— Deputy-chief-constable Winmill said constables had been sent to the spot on Sundays, but the .t men placed watchmen at various points, and directly the policemen were sighted they gave an alarm, and the gamblers escaped.—Defen- dant was fined 20s., or fourteen days' imprison- ment.

Russian Steamer Burned. A Dalziel's telegram from St. Petersburg on Monday says :—A terrible catastrophe is re- ported to-day from Astrakhan, the steamer named Schirmokscha, which had a large quau- tity of oil on board, having been completely destroyed by fire. She was burned to the water's edge, and fifteen persons, including the captain a.nd his family, who jumped overboard, were drowned.

FIGHTING IN MOROCCO.
FIGHTING IN MOROCCO. Sanguinary Battle Between Arabs. A Reuter's telegram from Tripoli on Sunday says :—Intelligence has been received from the interior that Rabah, formerly a slave of Zobeir Pasha, had taken Boghainie after a long siege. The Sultan of Wady had sent 10,000 men, under Germa Bugebin, to dislodge him, but Rabah's forces were well armed with gurs of modern pattern. A sanguinary battle has been fought at Fizzar, thirteen days' march from Tripoli, between the Ouled Busey and Zetan tribes, both sides losing heavily.

CHOLERA SCOURGE. The Cases at Hull and Grimsby. OFFICIAL REPORT. A Press Association telegram on Monday says :-The following official report was issued from the offices of the Local Government Board this eTening The returns from Hull are more satisfactory than they were on Saturday On September 9 there were ten, and on Sunday ? the 10th, four fresh notifications, including diarrhoea, but there had been no fresh death up to midday on Monday, the llth; and only four patients remained in the hospital. Great activity is maintained by the health department of the borough. The Grimsby return for September 9 and up to mid- day on September 10 gives two more fatal attacks and 72 notifications, including all forms of diarrhoea. In Cleethorpes eighteen cases remained under treatment, but no fresh notifica- tion of oholerk or choleraic diarrhoea had been received to-day up to mid-day. The attack at Penge, Lewisham district, turns out not to have been due to cholera, and much the same may be said, as judged by the laboratory experiments its regards the case at Gainsborough. A BUS, picious death was reported from Retford this morning. Two other alleged attacks are under investigation. Five Deaths at Ashbourne. The Press Association Derby correspondent telegraphs :-An epidemic, described by the local medical officer of health as choleraic diarrhoea, has broken out at Ashbourne, Derbyshire. The wife of a publican who was taken ill on Thurs- day has succumbed, as well as a woman who attended her. Three other deaths have occurred close by, and three children are now dangerously ill from the same cause. The outbreak has caused great anxiety, and the authorities are taking energetic steps to cope with it.
ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY
ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY Will Bring Some Well-known Artistee to Cardiff this Season. Yes," said Mr. Morgan to one of our repre- sentatives on Monday evening, we hope our thirteenth season will be as successful as, if not more so than, any previous one." "What are the concerts arranged?" asked the reporter. We have arranged three—the first on Novem- ber 29, the second on Jltnuary 31, and the third on March 28 and the engagements rather excel those of any past year." Are you bringing down any artistes new to Cardiff P" Yes. Miss Esther Palliser, who will be remembered as the original Lady Bowena in Ivanhee,' and Miss Evangeline Florence, a brilliant soprano with a phenomenally high register, extending to A in alto. Then there are old favourites, including Madame Belle Cole, Miss Clara Butt, Signer Foli, and Mr. Sant ley." "As to instrumentalists?" Mons. Elkan Kosman has been engaged as solo violin, Mr. E. H. Lemai, solo organist, and Mr. Charles Draper as solo clarionet." How are the subscriptions looking up ?" Well, we hope none of the old subscribers will desert us, and that new names will be added to the list."
CARDIFF'S MEMBER.
CARDIFF'S MEMBER. Makes Some Outspoken Utterances at Newcastle. Speaking at the launch from the shipyard of Sir W. G. Armstrong, Mitchell, and Co., Elswick, Newcastle, of a new cruiser for the Chilian Republic named the Blanco EnCalada, Sir E. J. Reed said he doubted whether this country was not giving evidence of decline in spending time so much on legislative schemes of change and so little time on the administra- tion of the great Empire which we possess and have to look after. It was to his mind a grie- vous and painful thing- to know that, while we could devote nine months to a Bill for a new method of government for a small fragment of the Empire, they could not devote nine days to the discussion of the naval interests of the I country, or anything like nine days. His opinion was that there might be a rude awaken- ing .coming. He believed we were too nearly balanced with a single foreign Power to make us in a safe or satisfactory position. Even if no element of doubt or question of difficulty entered into our considera- tions, and even if everything we had done had been perfect, we should still be too near an equality with a single European tower to be safe or satisfied, considering that our maritime interests enormously outweighed those of France, of Russia, or any other country on the face of the world. However, perhaps the day mig'bt come when we should rouse from this devotion of our time and energy to changes, which might be good or might not be good-which might prove wise or unwise—and when we should be able to devote our thoughts and energies to the urgent work of the Empire for he believed keenly that it was for the best interests of the world and of mankind that England's influence should prevail where it now existed throughout the world.

WELSH ATHLETE
WELSH ATHLETE Discusses Matters of Interest to Local Sports. Saturday was, and I daresay will be, a re- markable day in the annals of football at Morriston. A really splendid ground was being re-opened, and for the first time such sterling players as Conway Rees, Harry Rees, and Jack Davies appeared in the ranks of the tin-platers. Such a find the club is not likely to have again for many a long day. The ground itself is-what the old field certainly was hot—well drained and per- fectly dry. The turf has been re-laid and im- proved, the sides well banked to suit the spectators, and the grand stand painted and altered. The committee and the secretary of so young a club as Morriston are indeed entitled to great praise for their energy in carrying into effect such immense alterations during the course of the Summer months. The day was an ideal one for football, and this, together with the facts before mentioned had drawn a large concourse of spectators to the ground. Mr. Walter Rees had brought down a team which was quite representative 01 Keath and the game which ensued was fast and excit. ing, and a fitting exhibition for the opening of the ground. On Mr. Rees's side the full back, Jbe Davies, gave one of the best displays ever seen on the ground, and time and again came to the rescue of his side with perfect cool- ness and resource. The three-quarters did not shine in offensive play, but their tackling was very keen, Forbes and Reynolds being perhaps the best. Wat Thomas at half skirted the serums in his usual style, and Trick, in his new position, was well to the front. But both were prone to be too much on the wrong side of the scrum. The forwards, though not par- tieularly heavy, play very well together, and 011 the day's play bad the best of the opposing eight, packing better in the scrums and being faster on the ball. Howell Jones, Hutchinson, ar,d H. Evans were well ahead of the others. Grif Lewis displayed great ability in tearing jerseys. On the Morriston side Harry Rees was very safe at full back, and his kicking and tackling were well up to the mark. He, however, did not have aa much work to do as the opposing custodian. The three-quarters, one and all, played magnificently, and as a quartette could not be improved upon. Conway Rees and Jack Davies played together as if they had been club mates for years while the wings-Thomas and White—were not a jotbehind them, and performed their work in capital style. The pity of it was that the ball was not given out to the three-quarters often enough to suit the spectators, who were, how- ever, delighted with the brilliant bouts of pass- ing and running which they did bring off. The halves-Boss Thomas and Gray-were ham- pered by a beaten pack and the off-side tactics of the opposing couple. Gray seemed a bit off colour, while Thomas was inclined to keep the ball too long. The forwards were far too light to cope with the Neath pack, and if the Morriston Club want to avail themselves of their splendid three- quarters more weight must be introduced into the scrum. It was rumoured on the field, however. that Mainwaring and another heavy and well- tried forward intend turning out at the next match. The captain, R. G. Edwards, Tom Roberts, Gale, and Fisher played well and strove hard to stem the tide, but they were not very well backed up. Considering the repeated changes made last season-forty or fifty players at least having been trotted out at one time or another-it was hardly expected that with the same, or, perhaps, a little inferior, material the Swansea team would take the ground with much confidence this set son. They began on Saturday with a. soft thing, rendered sosfer, as it happened, by the absence of several good men amongst their opponents from Swaiisea Valley. Jack Davies and Gfey were doubtless much missed by Pon- tardawe, and they had other defaulters to grieve over. j .0. As for Swansea, the three-quarter line was by no means intact, and one unknown man, Wil- liams, from the Second Fifteen, was stuck in instead of Thorogood. The team expected Ü) I have Roberts, a very good man, to play with them, but it appears that he is placed under a b&n by people who have little real patriotism about them, and he could not do as he liked 011 Saturday. Two new men were tried forward, Jackson and Johns. They belonged, as far as I remem- ber, to the Third Glamorgan team last season fthd I fancy they have the makings of really useful men about them. They are of good build, and for their size are as aetive as we like to see forwards. The g-anie on Saturday hardly requires lengthened description. The Swansea ter>,m were a lot better than Poiitardawe, but they played a bit wild, and against a very nimble team they, found they had not much wind to spare in the second half. The first decent bit of passing resulted in Coke getting the first try of the season. He skipped over cleverly enough, and will do very well this season if he looks out for his chances. Bancroft dropped a goal and Williams got a try, so that at half-time the all whites had a respectable lead. In the second half, however, they quite failed to take it out of Pontardawe, whose halves,, Bowen and Davies, handed and dribbled the ball well. In this half it was only very hard work that enabled Swansea to add a single try to the score. The game was by no means brilliant, and the Swansea team will take a lot of pulling, together for the big fixture list before them. The Bristol Football Club have juat held their annual trial match which marks the opening of the season. It took place on Durdham Down, and the pi-oceedin gs attracted many spectators. Very evenly balanced were the both sides-the captains were Messrs. W. Thomson and Wager- and the result was a win for the former's team by two goals, two tries, to one dropped goal. The most prominent feature of the match was the excellent form shown by Chard, a young player from the Cheddar Valley Club, He has all the making of a first-rate three- quarter back, and he will undoubtedly prove a useful acquisition to the City Club. He will have an early opportunity of showing his worth again in a g'ood match in fact, it is probable that a place will be found for him in the Bristol team which on Saturday next visits Neath. The new ground of the Ferndale Football Club was formally opened on Saturday, when their more successful neighbours at Penygraig journeyed across the mountain to assist in making the ceremony a success. Ferndalians, as might be expected, gave the Penygraig men a grand reception, and impartially distributed their cheers as the match progressed. The home team had a strong side, which in- eluded Green (late of Penygraig), Steve Sullivan, Harry Williams (Pontypridd), the two Langleys (of Kendal). Williams and the Lang- loys played a rattling game. Williams and Sullivan at half laid themselves out to stop the passing of the visitors, and that spoiled a good game. Tom Prosser scored for Penygraig, for whom Evan Jones, J. Davies, Thomas, and the Moyles were very prominent in the forwards. Reynolds, H.

ISPORTING CHAT.
I SPORTING CHAT. Gossipy Paragraphs of the Turf and Field. The Middleham division are very sweet on Red Ensign and Golden Drop for the Cesare. witch. In the Ceaarewitch Prisoner will probably be ridden by C. Loates at about 51b overweight. C. Loates has left for the Curragh to ride Delphos in the Anglesey Stakes to-day. Isinglass, with T. Loates in the saddle, was on Monday given a good gallop of seven fur- longs on the Limekilns, accompanied by Lord Cecil. Childwick was on Monday ridden by G. Barrett in u sweating-pace gallop of a mile and three-quarters in company with Pilot. Lord Rosslyn states that the report that his "well-known racehorse Buccaneer was sold under legal compulsion, without reserve," at the blood stock sales at Doncaster, is incor- rect. Should Baron Hirsch decide not to run La Fleche against Isinglass in the Lancashire Plate the mare will in all likelihood be prepared for the Cesarewitch. John Doyle, who accomplished such a smart performance on Burnaby last year, will, it is said, have the mount on Castleblaney in the Cesarewitch. A big professional backer made the big bet of 10,000 to 5,000 that Prisoner beat both Self Sacrifice and Brandy wherever that pair finish. Ragimunde has not shaken off the effects of the hard ground at Ascot. Nor is Madame d'Albany in a much better state, although quoted at Doncaster from day to day. The first move on next year's race for the Blue Riband was made on Saturday, when, after 1,000 to 150, bar one, had been offered, fou fifties were accepted about Ladas.

THE LATE STRIKE.
THE LATE STRIKE. All the Association Collieries are now at Work. Mr. W. Gascoyne Dalziel, the secretary io the Monmouthshire and South Wales Coal owners' Association, stated to a Western Mail reporter on Monday that the men at all the asso- ciated collieries had now returned to work. It is probable that in a. few days the output will be up to the average amount. South Wales Colliery Workmen. A tneeting of the executive committee of the Monmouthshire and South Wales colliery work- men took place at the Bute Arms, Aberdare, on Monday, under the presidency of Mr. W. Abraham ("Mabon"), M.P. The vice-chair was occupied by Mr. David Morgan, the local agent, and the delegates included Mr. Thomas Richards (secretary), Messrs. Alfred Onions, Abercarn; W. Evans, Rhondda; Evan Jones, Mountain Ash; W. Archibald Galloway, ] Rhondda; Philip George and David Parker, Aberdare; W. D. Owen, Tylorstown; and 1 Lewis Miles, Caerphilly. A long discussion took place as to the need of appointing a general organiser for South Wales and Monmouthshire, in order to form a new organisation according- to the decision of tho delegate meeting ap- pointed under the new rules. It was ultimately resolved that at present the delegates were not in a position to suggest the name of any person suitable to fill the appointment, but that the services of the members of the council be placed at the disposal of the miners of South Wales and Monmouthshire with the view of forming- a com- mittees at each colliery and holding general meeting where necessary. The various colliery committees were also urgently invited to com- municate with Mr. Thomas Richards, miners' agent, Ebbw Vale, where and when the services of such members would be advantageous, in order to carry the resolution into effcct. —^CTBBwr»wifcgaio laimai t

It is alleged that deceased was engaged in a quarrel on the 29th ult., when blows were exchanged, with the result that she became ill. Dr. E. V. Pegge attended her ,mul she expired on Suml;:y. Dr. Pegge, it is stated, has declined to grant a cer- tificate of death. Consequently, an inquest will be held.

Storming ofWitu. A Parliamentary paper issued on Monday contains, a number of dispatches referring- to Witu. Mr. llenneli t in a dispatch dated August 12, gives an account of the capture of Witu and the hoisting- of the British flag. The stronghold of Fugo Oman was, lie says, taken in a rush by a, landing' party from the Blanche, Swallow, and Sparrow, with Nubians and Zan- zibaris, the operations being- conducted by Cap- tain Lindley. The stockado having been blown up, the rebels retreated into the forest, carrying their dead and wounded. Stoker Cook, of the Swallow, and one Zam.ibari were killed, Lieu- tenant FitzMaurice was slightly wounded, and Sub-lieutenant Gervis somewhat severely. Seven of the naval brigade were also wounded, but all are doing well. Town and crops were destroyed.

EMIN PASHA.
EMIN PASHA. Confirmation of the Report that the Traveller Has Been Murdered. Mr. F. C. Smith, of the Church Missionary Society, in a letter to the Times says :—" It may be interesting to say that when passing down from Uganda last October we heard particulars of Emin Pasha's death, which coincide entirely with what Mr. Swann has reported. We believed it then and there to be true, but waited for more trustworthy information." A Central News telegram from Brussels on Monday evening says: — A letter has been received here from a Belgian officer in charge of the Nyangwee Station of the Congo Free States n which details are given which fully confirm the murder of Emin Pasha. He appears to have been making his way towards the west of the Congo country. It is not stated whether any quarrel arose between Emin and the Arabs, but it is made clear that he was within four days' march of Stanley Falls, and had with him about twenty tons of ivory. This latter fact is regarded as more probably than anything els affording an explanation of his murder.
WISHED SHE WERE DEAD.
WISHED SHE WERE DEAD. The Sad Suicide of a Woman at Newport. The inquest concerning the death of Ellen Drayton, aged 43. single woman, living in William-street, Newport, whose Lodv was dis- covered on the seashore near Peterston on Saturday evening, was held by Mr. Moore at the Town-hall, Newport, on Monday evening.— Joseph Frederick Watson. Customs' officer, of 13, Daniel-street, said on Saturday evening, about a quarter to six, he was walking along the coast t'vards Peterston, when he saw an umbrella lying on the shore. Underneath it was a note, which apparently pointed to suicide. He looked arennd, and about twenty yards away he s:vw the body of a woman floating in the water. He drageed it ashore. eaJled 'on assistance, and gave information to the police. (A copy of the letter referred to was published in Monday's Western Mail.) There were some blue marks on the face.—Police-jonstable Jones, who proceeded to the spot, s„id the deceased was respectably dressed. Sue was wearing a -s brooch and ear-rings, and had 2s. in her pockets and a pair of gloves.—Martha Williams, 62, William-street, said she had known (eceafsed for 22 years. Since July the r.eo-on.sed bad been living with her, free of cost. She bad been in service for some time and had saved a con- siderable amount of money, over R50 bsi;ig found in her possession after her death. The deceased had been in service at TafL' House, Cardiff, and seemed to regret leaving there very much. She had frequently said she wished she was dead, but bad not threatened to commit suicide. She had a brother living at Maesycwmmer. Deceased had been in Bridgend Asylum from November, 1892, to May, 1893. When she came out she seemed fairly well, but worried a lot, and would fre- quently talk about suicides. Witness received a letter from deceased on Sunday morning, in which she said witness was to have half her money and anything else she liked, and wit- ness's niece was to have her gold brooch.— Henry Drayton, platelayer, Ystrad Mynach, Maesycwmmer, brother to the deceased, said he had seen his sister frequently of lnte. She had been suffering from rervous debility and hys- teria, and had been treated for this at Bridg- end Asylum. She bad been in service at Taff House for fifteen yervs, and was thinking of opening a small business. He received a letter from deceased that morning. In the course of it deceased stated that if anything should hap- pen to her she particularly wished that half of whatever she had left should go to Mrs. Williams, who had been very kind towards her, and the other half to himself.—Tho jury returned verdict of Suicide whilst of uusound mind." 8IJ.Ll v--

CLEVERLY CAUGHT.
CLEVERLY CAUGHT. A Cardiffian and His Wife Arrested in London. FRAUD FRUSTRATED. A cleverly planned scheme to obtain JE50 b; fraud has, owing to the sagacity of City detective James Ferguson, Bridewell Division, been completely frustrated. It appears thai Charles Stone, a native of Bideford, Nortl Devon, took a situation at a Fleet-street eating hcase. and shortly afterwards Miss" Florenct City, a native of Honiton, came as waitress Both being Devonians, an intimacy sprung up, and Stone confided to her that he was the reci, pieut of a legacy of £100, and that he expectet a cheque for 25s. for a quarter's interest ".Miss" City at once set about to intercept tht cheque, and, being successful, endorsed ant cashed it, at the same time sending a telegram to Stone's brother, a draper at Bideford :— Cheque received." Next day another telegram was sent to the brother, Came home late turned out. Send S50 at once," the address being at a news agency in the Strand. Instead of sending the money the brother communicated with the employer in Fleet-street, who at once put the matter in the hands of Detective Fergu- son, who sent a dummy letter to the Strand address, and next morning a boy called for and obtained the letter, which he handed to Miss" City and a man, who afterwards turned out to be her husband, Thomas Vincent City, a native of Cardiff. They were promptly arrested. Ongoing- to their lodgings at Pimlico Ferguson found all their boxes packed and labelled, Passen- gers to America," the name of the ship alone being wanting. Further inquiries proved that the man had served in the Army, and although describing himself as a clerk it was found that, though very well dressed, he had done no work for two years, but had lived on the drudgery of his wife. Much sympathy was expressed by the presiding magistrate (Sir J. W. Ellis) at the Mansion ITouse for the unfortunate wife, and the charge of forgery being withdrawn. Each was sentenced to a month with hard labour.
THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT.
THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT. Radical Change of Attitude on the Question of His Appoinment The apprehension that the Government may be defeated on the question of the Duke of Connaught's appointment has (says the Stan. dard) led to a charge of attitride on the part ci some of the Radicals. They will probably bs satisfied with entering a protest against the appointment, without going the length of vat. ing ag-ainst the Government, but a great deal will depend on the tone of the expected state- ment from the Treasury Bench, especially as regards the future of the office of Commander- in-Chief.
PRACTICAL APPRECIATION.
PRACTICAL APPRECIATION. The Father of a Fever Patient at Cardiff Sets a Noble Example. At a meeting of the Cardiff Health Committee held at the Town-hall this morning, Dr. Walford laid befoit the committee a letter he had received from a gentleman whose son had been under treatmeni for scarlet fever at the Cardiff Sanatorium. The letter expressed thanks at the treatment re- ceived, and the writer showed practical appreciation of the same by enclosing a cheque for ten guineas. — The Chair- man thought the noble exan pie set by a gentle- man in this position should be made known. (Hear, hear.) He suggested that the ten guineas be handed to Dr. Walford, and the matron of the institution for the parcbn.sc from time to time of books and toys for d^- i ribution among convalescent patients.—Mr. Biain pointed out that the nothing could show more conclusively than did this letter and donation the absurdity of the complaints against building a contagious hospital near to the torra. Everyone said it would be a nuisance and there were no end of objections. For nearly twelve months they were tossed from one site to another. Here was a case in which a man of the better class went to the sanatorium volun- tarily r.nd after treatment, was not merely please J, but showed his appreciation in such a practical manner.—The Chairman remarked that the communication that had been read emphasized the importance of the institution. This gentleman, possessing means, could not be said to have peler>t'.c.d t public institution to save the cost of maiiiv tenance, having shown his willingness to pt.j handsomely but he took this step because h( knew the sur four dings and advantages wcpl( he beneficial. (Hear, hear.) The suggestiot as to the use to which the ten guinea. should bt applied was unanimously confirmed, and th< subject dropped. i
CIVIL WAR IN BRAZIL. 1
CIVIL WAR IN BRAZIL. 1 Bombardment of a Suburb of Rio do Janeiro. A Central News telegram from New York says :—A dispatch to the Herald from Montt Video announces the outbreak of active bostili< ties between the rebel fleet and the land forces of President Peixoto. The rebel warshipt which left the bay of Bio de Janeiro a few days s.go returned on Sunday, and, taking up a position opposite the town of Nitheroy, which is really a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, being only five miles distant, commenced a heaTj bombardment of the port. Then, raider th« cover of their artillery fire, an attempt was made to capture the town. The boats of the fleet were manned and proceeded to the shore where they were met by the loyal troops an4 policc. A desperate engagement ensued. Th« Krupp guns of the Government troops swept tl 3 ihvading force, while the heavy guns of the forts exchanged shots with the rebel warships. Finally the rebels were driven back to their boats with heavy loss and were obliged to return to their shi;JS under an incessent fusilade from the shore. Fifty-one rebels were killed and thii-.y wounded. The loss sustained bs the Government troops must have been heavy, but the exact number is not known. The Government hag declared Rio de Janeiro and Nekeroy to be in » I siege. The English Conr.ul at Moiii-c Video issued a warning to the British merchant vs-sj-dto lying there against the danger of r a.' vir- ths* port of Rio de Janeiro while h< 'ihtio* coit° iinue.
