RAILWAYS AT CARDIFF. ¡ The Branch G.W.R. Line from Town to the Docks Neariy Complete. In their last annual report the directors of the Great Western Railway Company stated that the Riverside Branch between their main station at Cardiff and the Docks would be opened for passenger traffic as soon as the station near the Clarence Bridge had been completed. In order to ascertain how the work was progressing, a. "Western Mail" re- porter traversed the line on Friday, and found that there is every probability of trains being run over it within a month or so. With the exception of a few lengths of rails at the Docks end, the railway has been completed and signal-box and signals erected. The station near the canal bridge in James-street, which is of a temporary character, is also well ad- vanced. The platform has been all but com- pleted, and the wooden structure which covers it only needs a covering of tarpaulin, a coat- ing of paint, and the erection of a ticket-offic-6 to make it available for traffic. The Taff and Barry Companies have running powers over this branch of the Great Western Railway, but it is questionable whether the former will at present avail themselves of their privilege. The opening of the branch will give excellent facilities to those engaged at the Docks to travel between that hive of commercial in- dustry and the centre of the town.

CASTLES OF WALES. Cymmrodorion hear an Interesting Lecture by Dr. Hughes. The fortnightly meeting of the Cardiff Cym- mrodorion was held at their chambers in St. John's hall, St. John's-square, on Friday even- ing. Professor Powel, M.A., of the Univer- sity College, president of the society, pre- sided, and there was a large attendance. The lecturer was Dr. Alfred Hughes, professor of anatomy at the University College, Cardiff, and ke delivered an able and interesting address on the "Castles of Wales." He proved that I there were castles in Wales prior to the Nor- man period, in which the Princes lived, but that they were different in construction to the castles' the ruins of which could be seen at the present time. He showed, also, that these latter ones were not Welsh, but built and kept at a great cost to keep the Welsh nation under control. The learned professor singled out one significant historical fact, namely, that whenever a King was dead in England or a Prince in Wales it was taken advantage of to make an attack on the Welsh castles. Grnffydd ap Cynan was the chief destroyer of these Norman constructions. That chieftain was a prisoner at Chester Castle for over twelve years. A Welsh patriot went to ihat city one day to see if he could not do something for liis release. As it happened, it was a rejoicing day at the castle, and, firding all the keepers drunk, he bad no trouble to go inside the gates, and suc- ceeded in carrying out Gruffydd ap Cynan in his irons. That Prince spent the rest of his life to destroy a-s many as he could of the castles of Wales, and no wonder. Dr. Hughes also proved from official documents that many of the Welsh historians, including Giraldus, Pennant, and others, were wrong in more than one respect in their historical accounts of the castles of Walc-s, and that it was a wise policy on the part of the Welsh Princes to destroy these massive structures. In conclusion—as he knew that would please his fellow-country- men-he said that an eisteddfod was held in Cardigan Castle in 1176, where chairs were given to the best bard, singer, and fiddler.— A vote of thanks to the lffcturer was proposed by the Rev. John Morgan Jones and seconded by Dr. J. Lynn Thomas.—Several songs were rendered during the evening, Dr. Joseph Parry presiding at the organ, .and an announcement was made that the St. David's Day banquet on Thursday next at the Queen's Hotel would, in all probability, be a grand success.

CARDIFF ALHAMBRA. Children of the Bonnie Sootland" Troupe are Feasted. The children who for the past five weeks have been engaged under Mr. Selkirk at the Alhambra, Cardiff, in producing the grand spectacular tableaux, "Bonnie Scotland," were on Friday afternoon entertained through the kindness of the directors of the Westgate- street Music-hall to dinner at the Grand Hotel. Mr. Booth (acting-manager of the Alhambra) who, in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Har- rington, presided, was supported by Messrs. Clark, John, and Selkirk, and there were also several ladies present, who made it their duty to see that all the wants of the little guests were supplied. Over 60 children sat down to an excellent spread: and after the tables had been cleared they joined most heartily in sing- ing several songs in a style which reflected the greatest credit on Mr. Selkirk and his family, who have trained their voices to such a state of perfection. It certainly would be difficult to choose from any town a like number of youngsters as intelligent and as interested' in all the}' did as those who were assembled to- gether in the Grand on Friday. After the songs had been given, James Reed, a little fellow of seven or eight years of age, who has filled the role of "Punch" in the spectacle, was presented by Mr. Booth, on behalf of Mr. Harry Samuels, with a handsome lever watch, on receipt of which he at once mounted upon a chair, and, with the utmost sang froid, thanked Mr. Samuels for the gift and the direc- tors for their kindness in providing the feast. The Selkirk family this evening bring their performance to a close, and journey to Coventry; but we are assured that it will not be long before they return to delight the patrons of the Alhambra with a production which is to be even a greater spectacular dis- play than "Bonnie Scotland." Mr. Selkirk's next visit will be looked fqrward to with eager expectancy by the little ones amongst whom he has made himself an universal favourite.

Mr. Pickard, M.P., secretary of the Miners' International Congress, has issued a circular stating that the annual gathering will be held this year

A TALE OF BRUTALITY. Dutch Steward llltreated by the Mate of a Swansea Barque. At Plymouth Police-court on Friday William John Jones, mate of the barque Beta, of Swan- sea, was summoned for assaulting on the 21st of February Johannes Janssen, steward on the same vessel. He was also summoned to show cause why he should not be bound ever to l eep the peace towards complainant, who is a Dutchman. It appeared that the com- plainant was shipped at Rotterdam on the 9th ult. as steward The ship left Rotterdam on the 10th of January on a voyage to Plymouth, which lasted until Monday last. Throughout the voyage the complainant had been treated with persistent cruelty. On February 21, while Janssen was at his work, the mate fetopp.>d him, and ordered bauds of hoops to; be brought to him, and when he received them he threw them at the hapless foreigner. On another occasion the mate ordered some bags to be put. on deck, and then told the steward to pick them up, but before this could be done he struck him to the deck. On W ednes- day last he was in the hold, when defendant came down and told the crew they could do what they liked with Janssen. The mate allowed him to be dragged about by chain hooks, and made no effort to stop it. He was in bodily fear of the mate. lie used to follow him about as if lie were a dog, and constantly struck him with his hand. His food was 0: the poorest quality, consisting of rice, biscuits, and ooffee. When the tug came alongside with coal the mate ordered him to turn out his clothes' bag. and used it as a coal-carrier. On Sundays the mate used to i handcuff him to the anchor when he had nothing to employ him at. When he was on the look-out the mate constantly struck him on the shins with a rope, because he could not keep his legs, not being a seaman. He had also been ill-treated both by the boatswain and the captain. The latter had kicked him because he smashed a glass chimney.—Mr. Geo. Newman, 5, Watson-place, officer of H.M. Customs, and Mr. William Power, examining officer of Customs, corroborated. Mr. Jones, in defence, said he had always done his best for the steward, and had assisted him in the galley for three weeks.—William Lufooski, a. Norwegian sailor, gave evidence for the defence. He deposed that the com- plainant had his hand on Bale, and one of the men struck him a blow. It was not the mate who did it. Whilst in the hold he saw moss litter stuffed into complainant's mouth, and heard the mate say. I will bury you, you b- On the voyage he had seen the mate catch hold of complainant by the neck and shake him. He had often heard defen- dant say, "I will choke you, you b .—The Bench fined the defendant B3 and costs, or three weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. —The money was paid.—The summons to keep the peace was dismissed on the defendant pay- ing expenses. -Vnother ease arising out of the above was then gone into, in which the complainant claimed £ 5 18s. 4d. for breach of agreement, wages, and railway fare to Swansea, but it was withdrawn on the captain Rgreeiug to pay £ 3 18s. 4-d. and the costs of the summons. The Beta 'arrived at Plymouth on Thursday from Rotterdam. The voyage, which is usually accomplished in tv o days, occupied twenty days, in consequence of strong and varying winds and heavy seas. Ti e crew's experiences were terrible. Coal and oil ran short, and they suffered from severe cold, to which were added the pangs of hunger. For nineteen <] 'ys they did not take off their clothes to rest, and for six days they had only bread axd water as food.

CARDIFF'S PARK AT ROATH. Corporation Committee go Over the Ground and Express Satisfaction. On Friday afternoon a special meeting of the parks committee was held for the purpose of inspecting the Roath Park. The chairman of the committee (Councillor E. Beavan) was unable to attend, and the deputy-chairman (Councillor Ramble) took charge of the arrangements. There were also present the Mayor (Councillor Trounce), Alderman Lewis, Alderman Jacobs, Alderman Cory, Coun- cillors Noah Rees, S. A. Brain, and T. Andrews, and Mr. W. Harpur (borough engineer), Mr. Pettigrew (head gardener). Mr. James Allan (contractor), Mr. J. E. Gunn, and Mr. F. S. Lock. The party walked through the several sections of the park, and were thoroughly satisfied with the progress which ha.d been made with the work, Councillor Ramsdale, the borough engineer, Mr. Allan, and Mr. Pettigrew coming in for very complimentary references. With regard to the important contract carried out by Mr. Allan, it should be mentioned that the work was completed in a thoroughly satisfactory manner six months before the time stipulated, and tha.t the materials used were even better than those specified for. The work is being pushed forward with as much despatch as possible, to be ready by the 20th of jiiDe, when it is hoped the park will be opened by the young Earl of Dumfries.

WELSH LADtES' CHOIR AT SWANSEA The interest felt at Swansea in the visit of the Welsh Ladies' Choir on Thursday was almost unique. The Albertwhall was filled to overflowing, every reserve seat being taken long before the date of the concert. As re- gards the performance itself, nothing more need be said than that it was in the choir's best style, and the huge audience were so de- lighted that a return visit has been arranged for on Monday evening next.

Messrs. S. Hem and Pertwee sold by auction on Thursday at the Market-hall, Caerphilly, the leasehold dwelling-house known as St. Martin's Ledge for 9390 to Mr. W. Evans, of Aberyst- with. Mr. David Lewjg, GttasJuiix. JJj&S

816 SMASH AT CARDIFF. Liabilities are Said to be About £40,000. As Messrs. Evans and Williams refuse to give any information in regard to their liabili- ties and assets, it is impossible to ascertain what these are until a, statement has been filed. It is currently stated that the liabilities are some- thing like £40,000, but for this there cannot, of course, be any authentic ground. As we anticipated on Friday, the failure has caused- the greatest amount of surprise in Cardiff. The firm was supposed to be carrying oy a sound, old-fashioned trade. Unquestionably its downfall has been caused by larger and more enterprising merchants who recognise the importance of continually keeping their names before the public.

EAST DENBIGHSHIRE. Mr.St. John Raikes Delivers an Address at Wrexham. On Friday night Mr. St. John Raikes, son of the late Postmaster-General, the Unionist candidate for East Denbighshire in opposition to Sir George Osborne Morgan, addressed for the first time a meeting of his supporters at Wrexham. Referring to Welsh disestablish- ment, he said he should oppose that measure wich all his strength and ability. '.Vita the eight hours movement he sympathised, and when he got amongst the colliers, who were principally interested, he should have the utmost pleasure in discussing the matter. Seeing that the Local Veto Bill was directed entirely against the poorer classes, and would sweep away a great interest without paying any compensation, he was certainly opposed.to- that Bill.—A vote of confidence was passed unanimously.

TAFF VALE EMPLOYES. Some Grievances May be Redressed and a Strike is Improbable. On Friday a "Evening Express" reporter saw some of the men's representatives, who have acted on their behalf in the protracted dispute between employers and employed, and are their accredited spokesmen, and they gave an emphatic denial to the paragraph which, appeared in Friday's "Western Mail" to the. effect that a strike was probable. That para- graph was unauthorised, and had no founda- tion in fact. The feeling is rather better than it was, and strong hopes are entertained that ere long the struggle will have ceased to exist. The refusal of the management to negotiate with, or receive, a deputation from the men's committee has all along been the chief point, if not the only one in dispute, and although the committee has not yet been formally re- cognised, some of the men have been received in consultation, a fact which seems to point at last to the tacit acceptance of the committee. A list of the grievances complained of was asked for and supplied, and a deputation waited upon Mr. Riches and were courteously received. The result of these deliberations, it is under- o stood. affords solid ground for hope that at least some of the grievances will be redressed, that eventually matters will right themselves, and that the relations between masters and men will assume that perfectly satisfactory and cordial character which is so desirable in the interests of both. The last mass meet- ing, it will be remembered, was deferred until the 28th inst. upon thy issue—shall there be a strike or no?-and matters have now taken such a pliape that, unless something unforeseen happens, the men, after hearing their general secretary (Mr. Harford), will, at the next mass meeting, reply to that question in the nega- tive. Mr. Beaslev (the general manager) seems to have risen lately in the men's estimation, and. why?—apparently because he has just formu- lated a scheme for the formation of a savings' bank, the details of which, after consultation with a committee, lie has left to the men to consider; and if the movement is carried through, as there is every reason to believe it will be, then the Taff Vale Savings' Bank should relatively be as successful as similar institutions on other railways.

THE TROCADERO. Chevalier Brings an Action Against Manager Didcot. In the Chancery Division on Friday a motion was heard in the action by Mr. Chevalier against Mr. H. J. Didcott. asking for the appointment of receiver and manager of the partnership assets of Messrs. Didcott and Chevalier at the Trocadero Music-hall. Last year the defendant approached Mr. Chevalier, the well-known comedian, to acquire with him the lease of the Trocadero. Pla,intiff had advanced £ 1,830. Mr. Didcott, counsel said, had paid nothing. but had drawn a considerable sum from the takings, alleging a verbal arrangement, wholly denied by the plaintiff, that he was to have zC20 weekly. The music-hall wa.s carried on at considerable loss, large sums bpiIfg owing for arrears of rent. The defendant denied that he was under any obligation to find capital. Ulti- mately, Mr. Justice North ordered the case to be referred for the appointment of a receiver, and granted an injunction against Mr. Didcott engaging artistes on behalf of the partnership.

A WELSH OOMPOSER'S NEW WORK. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says :-A pianoforte quartette in D minor by the clever young Welsh student, Mr. H. Walford Davies, was played for the fint time on Thursday evening at the Royal College of Music, the composer being assisted in the performance by Messrs. Jacoby, Ackroyd, and Ludwig. The same admirable qualities noticed recently in a companion work from the same pen were again manifested. each of the four I movements being marked by notable freshness of idea and inventive skill. In this instance the finale proved by far the most ambitious and in- teresting section.

He Started Out Naked. AN AMERICAN'S EXTRAORDI- NARY WAGER. III —— Commencing minus Clothing or Money he Proposes to Belt the World in a Year and Return with JE1000. On Friday a. Boston man begoh a novel contest against tiima and dis- tanee. He proposes to make a journey around the world, starting without clothing or money, and returning to the point of departure in one year, faultlessly attired and £1,000 in eaeh on his person. The namely which he is to be known while the race is on is Paul Jones, though that is not his real name. He is a prominent cdul member, a graduate erf Harvard, was one* captain of the Varsity crew and is quite wealthy. His present wager is the child of a conversation of adventure held some time ago in the Boston Athletic Club Cafe. It was introduced by Jones, and a lively dis- cussion resulted. Jones thought the task could be successfully accomplished and finally made -a bet that he could do it himself. All ar- rangements for holding him to his word were completed on the spot, and yesterday Jones pre- sented himself at tbeolub-houae, entered a room, and stripped to the skin. It is so nominated in the bond that he shall neither ask for nor receive money, but for any services rendered, such as blacking shoes or brushing hats and coats for the club members, he may take what- ever Hiey 'are inclined to offer. By little services of this kind he hoped to earn enough to buy a bathing outfit or a suit of hand-mo- downs in which to say adieu to the club-house. Once on the street-, Mr. Jones proposed to teach the unemployed a profitable lesson in wage-earning by selling papers, running errands or doing anything that oornes in his way. For the sake of a start, his friends were allowed to put odd jobs in his way, and when money enough has been obtained to clothe him- self and purchase a ticket for New York, Mr. Jones will feel assured that the hardest pari of the journey will not be before him. Mr. Jones is a very persistent young man. He looks upon J61,000 as a small amount, and in spite of the difficulties to be encountered by a moneyless man on such a trip, he feels confident- that he will be back in Boston one year from .the time he started, with every one of the £ 1,000 in his possession. It is hinted by some that he hopes to accomplish the journey in much less time, and on his arrival on the Pacific slope engage with dime museum managers to exhibit himself as the man from Boston who started naked in a race against time and possibility, and came in a winner. But this is only an insmnation and may not amount to anything. By the time Mr. Jones reaches New York it will have been herajded about the city that a man with a real idea, is in town. There he expects to make money enough to pay his way to London. Once in London he will use his Yankee wits in an endeavour to add aapaethinf to his foundation money, and, if possible, get page age to Paris without paying for it. In the same manner will he go from point to point on toward Japan. Mr. Jones is a man of reisouroes. He speaks French, German, Spanish, and enough Ita-Uaa to order his, meals. When he strikes Saa Francisco he will begin his dime museum career, working on east to Boston, and the con- ditions-of his wager require that he shall walk- into the fashionable Boston Athletic Associa- tion rooms on February 22, 1895, with:01,000 in his possession, having earned every dollar of it on his way around the world.
