LOCALS AMUSEMENTS-
LOCALS AMUSEMENTS- GllAND OPERA AT THE CARDIFF THEATRE EOYAL. Mr. Fletcher haa once moro brought to all lovers of the pure and highly artistic in n usical dramatic art. in Cardiff and South Wales many of the master works of the lyric stage and that of th.) various schools and nationalities, ran.ely, the ballad epera from the pens of the Irish composers in Balfe's Bohemian Girl" and Wallace's "Maritana"; the French school, in Suppe's "Galatea," a truly beautiful work; the Italian school in Verdi's tragic "Rigoletto," and the modern Italian realistic school in Leoi- lcavallo's "Pacliaoci" and Mascagni's touch- ing "CavaIleria.Rusticana. as well as the light German school in Benedict's Irish opera, "Lily of Killarney." All these will be performed during tha present week by Mr. Arthur Rous- bey's company—a company that is complete in all departments. There is a fine chorus, an excellent orchestra, increased by several able instrumentalists brought with the company, as well as Mr. M&bbett's splfcndiij local band, and a cast of artistes that make each link of the chain complete and strong. The usual stage accessories fully satisfy the eye, as does the music the ear. Mr. Rousbey himself is the centre wheel of the whole. There is a real nn. steal feast in sture during the present week, and the company is sure to attract large avdiences to the Theatre Royal. We under- stand that, owing to the great success of Mr. F. S. Gilbert as "Don Caesar de Bazan" in Maritana," he will appear in the same cha- racter on Thursday, when the opera, which was received with such vnbour.ded enthusiasm on Saturday last, will be repeated. By a gene- rally expressed wish, Mr. Arthur Rousbey will repeat his impersonation of "Alfio" in "Caval- leria Rusticana" to-night (Monday), and on Friday night will take his benefit, when Verdi's "Rigolletto" will be presented, with the talented artiste in the title role. GRAND THEATRE, O&RT)T A sensational drama the interest in which is, by reason of its unique character, intense will be produced at the Cardiff Grand Theatre during the present week. The title of the play is "W ep-Ton-No Mah, the Indian Mail Charac- ter," and, as the whole action of the piece takes place in the Wild West, the scenes in the un- ravelling of the plot are particularly thrilling. The play is from the pen of a Mohawk lady, Miss Go-Won-Go-Mohawk, and the title role of the piece is played by the authoress. The cast also includes Miss Mohawk's father, Chief Ga-Ne-Gua>" another Mohawk ,Indian, who plays the part of the father of the mail charac- ter. Miss'Mohawk is a thorough actress, and plays her part in really excellent style, as also does the chief. In most of the scenes Miss Mohawk appears on horseback, (riding Indian ponies which have been specially trained for the performance. The villain of the piece, Spanish Joe," played by Mr. George de Le Claire, who appears in several disguises, is also capitally acted., and in one scene Joe has a. most realistic fight with knives with Miss Mohawk. The knives are not the usual stage weapons, but real Toledo blades. There are a couple of excellent, comic parts—a nigger and an Irishman—impersonated by Meesrsi Evans and Harvey, and Miss Dorothy Neville also intro- duces some excellent comedy business as an old maid. Altogether, the company i« a ireally strong one, and should draw big houses. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. The programme at the Empire this week should be sufficient to satisfy the most exact- ing. The famous illusionist, Carl Hertz, is to introduce a. sensation which has been remark- j ably well received wherever he has paid a visit. The illusion, about one of the most mystifying yet invented, is called, "After the Flood," and Mr. Hertz will be assisted in his performance by Mdlle. D'Alton. Two local favourites who have climbed a long way up the ladder of fame are the Sisters Preston, and their smart busi- ness is sure to be well received. The Lenton Family will introduce a startling risley act, a.nd Barrett and Artell, on the triple bars, are certain of a good reception. The other members of a thoroughly capable company are the Sisters Spencer, vocalists and daucers; the Two Bees, American drolls; Miss Rose Dale, serio-comic vocalist and dancer, and Miss Lily Burnand, vocalist. NEWPORT. Mr. Stoll by 'this time has become noted for the excellence of the companies engaged at this cosy liall, and the turns who will appear this week will most certainly not damage his repu- tation. Much fun is sure to be caused by G. W. Kenway, whose powers of mimicry are of a. really first-class order. Miss Lottie Collard is very clever, and her singing and dancing will prove most acceptable. A capital turn, too, is provided by the Brothers Webb, instrumen- talists. J. P. Curlett generally has a budget of good songs, and should get along famously. The Athols will contribute a. character inter- lude of a humorous stamp. Miss Maude Dal- maine, soprano vocalist; Gallimore wnd Kenyon, character duettista and dancers, and the Sisters Wyatt, duettists and dancers, com- plete the list of an excellent all-round combina- tion. STOLL'S PANOPTICON, CARDIFF. For the present week Mr. Stoll has arranged a strong company to appear ait this favourite place of resort. The Arlotti troupe, five in number, play a. screaming farce. Merry Menials," and introduce clever acrobatic feats. Nichal, a. Japanese juggler, will contribute a clever turn," and the Olivette troupe of voca- lists and danceis, which includes little Georgina Francis, will give a remarkably smart interlude. Miss Pollie Langton, a serio. with ai excellent reputation, and will, no doubt, make a success. There are the usual attrac- tions, and, oaken as a whole, the Panopticon should be crowded throughout. the week.

MR. W. SHEPHERD DEAD.
MR. W. SHEPHERD DEAD. THE" WELL-KNOWN ATHLETE PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY. We regret to announce the death of Mr. W. M. Shepherd, of Cardiff. Tbe sad event occurred at 8.15 on Sunday morning, and the very large circle of friends, and the football and athletic community generally, will keenly feel the lose which they hare sustained. Mr. Shepherd, who was always t* the fore im any work for tbe benefit of his poerer towns- people, during the recent severe weather worked exceedingly hard in connection with a soup kitchen at the West Wharf. There he caught a chill, and the illness thus started led to pneumonia and inflammation of the lungs. Dr. Smith, of Dumfries-place, was called in, and on Friday week last Mr. Shepherd's illness became more serious. He was THE LATE MB. W. M. SHEPHERD. delirious, and Dr. Smith had a consultation with Dr. Wallace, but despite the almost unremit- ting attention of the medical gentlemen Mr. Shepherd gradually grew worse. It was seen on Wednesday that if Mr. Shepherd did get over his illness it would be almost a miracle. He became much weaker on Friday, and on the even- ing of that day Dr. Smith gave it as his opinion that Mr. Shepherd could not possibly survive. Throughout the week many were the anxious inquiries made by friends, and several members of the Cardiff Football Club, including Mr. A. F. Hill, Mr. J. E. Elliott, and Mr. Edmund Williams, sat up with their old friend and clubmate. The death was a very peaceful one. About half an hour before the end Mr. Shepherd became unconscious. and gradually sank and died. All his family, who are overcome with grief, were present, as also were Messrs. Edward Williams and J. E. Elliot, who had be an watching at his bedside through the night. The news of the sad event quickly spread throughout the town, and great was the sorrow expressed by everyone who had ever come in contact with the deceased gentleman. His genial disposition and the enthusiastic manner in which he entered into any movement for the advancement of sport in the district endeared him to many. Mr. Shep- herd's familiar figure will be sorely missed, and the gap caused by his death will be exceedingly difficult to fill. Mr. Shepherd was only 36 years of age, and he leaves a widow and four children to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father. The funeral will take place on Wednesday or Thursday next. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. By the death of Mr. W. M. Shepherd there has gone from our midst one of the best-known and most deservedly popular men in the dis- trict. Only 36 years of age, his genial temper and ready courtesy with all whom he chanced to come in contact had made him many friends among all olasses. A (jentleinan in every sense of the word, he was appreciated as such by those who knew him, who can but ill spare his being thus prematurely taken from them. It was only a fortnight ago that Mr. Shepherd was in robust health helping, in his own kindly and energetic manner, to alleviate the sufferings of the poor of Cardiff by dispensing free meals to the starving hundreds who flocked to the East Canal Wharf, where food was distributed. It was while thus engaged that Mr. Shepherd is supposed to have contracted a chill which led to the attaok of pneumonia. This is more than likciv, for not even the strongest constitution could. as Mr. Shepherd did, work for hours, feeling Tie heat from three huge boilers in wirch the soup was being prepared, and then come out into the cold, biting east wind, with- out suffering any ill effects. But, in his labour of love Mr. Shep- herd, no doubt, thought little of the danger he was running. Others think that the chill was received while he was engaged superintending the ineffectual attempt to thaw the Cardiff Arms Park with the "devils" to enable the Cardiff-Newport ixture to be brought off. As is well known, "Bill" Shepherd, as he was usually known by his more intimate friends, was an ardent football enthusiast. The first club with which he was connected was the now defunct Harlequins Rugby football Olub. In 1883-4 he captained that team, but the year following, which was made memorable by the achievements of Hancock's invincible fifteen, he became enthusiastic in the interests of the Cardiff CluB. For the past five years Mr. Shepherd had acted on the match committee, and in the seleotion of the terms he had never been afraid to say what he honestly thought of each player. No figure was more familiar than lie to the orowds who visit the Cardiff Arms Park, where, on match days, "Bill" Shepherd's burly form could always be seen hurrying from one part of the touch-line to another enpraged in carrying out the onerous duties of touch judge. No matter how the crowd "took" his decision, when once the flag was raised, there it remained, and from that spot the ball was thrown into play. Whenever the Cardiff team went on tour the party was not complete without the inclu- sion of Mr. Shepherd, for, whether their for- tunes were attended with victory or defeat, he waa alwaja ready, to ,paJUt*apaata with UlSSt UL their joys or condole with them in their mis- fortunes. He had an inexhaustible stcck of yarns on football topics, and he was ilways ready to relate how he vanquished Jack Frost on the Cardiff Arms Park and. in spiv*- of the weather, made the ground fit for the Ergiiih-Welsh macii to take place. In business matters Mr. Shep- herd was at much respected as he was on the football field. For many years he was in partnership with his father, Mr. Charles Shep- herd, builder and contractor, but for some time prior to his death he "travelled" for Messrs. D. W. Davies and Sons, builders' material mer- chants, East Canal Wharf, Cardiff. He was also secretary for the Cardiff Builders' Associa- tion, to which he.rendered many valuable, ser- vices. especially in the strike of 1892, for which he was made two handsome presents by the asso- ciation. Mr. Shepherd has been a total ab- stainer-all his life, and even on his bed of sick- ness when the doctors in attendance urged the desirability of his taking stimulants he would not do so, and port wine and brandy bad to be administered to the patient in the form of jellies which were specially prepared for him. The deceased gentleman leavs a widow and three young children, who, it is needless to say. have the heartfelt sympathy of all Mr. Shepherd's friends, who, if in a lesser degree, can ill bear the loss they have sustained.
WELSH UNIONISTS' CHANCES
WELSH UNIONISTS' CHANCES A FORECAST OF THE EIIECTTOTFF AND SBATSXIKELY TO BE WON The articles in the "Times" on the electoral outlook were brought to a close on Saturday by an estimate of the Unionist prospects in Ireland and Wales. Upon the prospects in Wales the "Times" correspondent says: — Wales can be dealt with briefly. Thanks to the tremendous energy of men like the Bishop of St. Asaph and Professor Owen, of Lam- peter, the Unionist outlook in the Principality is slowly, but surety, improving. The pulpits of the Nonconformist chapels are used for poli- tical propagandiism as freely as of yore: but the lay members of the Established Church are becoming more and more alive to the necessity of arousing counter-enthusiasm, and I shall be surprised if this newly-awakened aotivity does not make itself felt at the polls. Seats which the Unionists expect to re-capture are Radnor- shire, where Mr. Powlett Milbank is the selected candidate, and Pembroke District. where General Laurie will try another fall with Mr. Egerton Allen- There are also possi- bilities about Carnarvon District and Cardiff; though it must be remembered that in the first case Mr. Lloyd-George's personality carries a good deal of weight, and that, in the st-cr-nd, it is not yet too late for the Gladstoniaiis to re- establish order in their ranks. Fortunately, Mr. J. M. Maclean, who is championing the Unionist cause at Cardiff, is an old campaigner, and may be depended upon to make the most of his present oportunities. Encouraged by the result of the recent bye-election, Mr. R. W. Wynn isapin standing for Montgomeryshire, this time with better hope of sueoess. Mont- gomery District is a doubtful constituency on account of the indifferent health of the sitting member. If Sir Pryce Pryoe-Jones is odble to stick to his post he will probably be re-elected, but with a change of candidates the seat would be in danger. The net result of aH this is that, adhering to the cautious method which 1 followed in making my English and Scotch estimates, I estimate that the Unionist gains in Wales will neutralise the Unionist loesee in Ireland. In other words, while it would be unsafe for the Unionists to reckon upon winning more than two seats in Wales, the faot must not be ignored that they stanB to lose two seats in Ireland. Summing up the aeries of articles, the correspondent save — I have now completed my task, and it only remains to recapitulate my conclusions. My computation is that. giving the Gladstonians the benefit of every local consideration or political argument that is calculated to tell in their favour, they must expect to lose at least 33 seats at the next appeal to the oountry-six in London, five in England south of the Trent, fifteen in England north of the Trent, and seven in Scotland (Ireland and Wales are omitted be- cause they balance each other). This would mean a gain to the Unionists of 66 votes, and it would convert the Home Rule majority of 35 into a Unionist majority of 31. Nothing is more susceptible to suddenly-rising influences than the political atmosphere; and, therefore, in making an electoral forecast one can only indicate what is likely to happen under the conditions which prevail at the period of in- ouirv. Unless there is a ereat revulsion of feeling in favour of tfie Government, however, my analysis of the possibilities is not, likely to prove too favourable for the Unionists. The pendulum is moving in the direction of the Opposition, and, so far as can be seen, the longer the policy of the Government is withheld from the decision of the constituencies the sreater is likely to be the impetus of the swing. An immediate dissolution might give the Unionists a larger majority than I feel justified in predictine: a dissolution three or six months hence should, in the ordinary course of evrats, yield an even more satisfactory result

Weird Sights at Sea, .
Weird Sights at Sea, THEY TERRIFY SAILORS OF, A TANK STEAMER. Strange Lights, Balls of Fire, and Uncanny Explosions Told of by the Rock Light's Crew. The peculiar experience of the crew of the British tank steamship Rock Light while en routt" from Rotterdam to Philadelphia has created great interest among seafaring men. Ca.ptain Collier states that. at 11.45 o'clock on the night of February 1, during the pre- valence of a heavy hail squall, a ball of fire, or meteor, descended from the heavens, and, com- ing down obliquely with a hissing noise, struck the sea about 350 yards to the southward of the ship. causing a "tremendous report, and sending a heavy shock through the ship, simi- lar to a projectile passing fore and aft. All, hands were aroused, as it was thought an n. plosion had occurred in one of the tanks, and Chief Officer Waters, who was on watch, rushed below and called Captain Collier. Then fol- lowed vivid lightning, and terrific hail and snow squalls; during which, oa the yard arms, mast heads, &c., could be seen small lights, like will 'o the wisps. This lasted almost in' csssantlv until five ocSock in the morning. 'o The superstitious sailors became terrified, and. thouignt they were doomed. Nothing of note occurred from then until February 10. when a somewhat similar experience was met with. At 7.30 o'clock that night blinding snow squalls, of great force were raging, and suddenly there appeared on the port fore yard arm a. small light. In the space of a minute, it gradually n;ci eased in size, when it burst with) a loud report. The wind increased to a hurricane, and continued until one o'clock the following day. This is the strangest experience that any of the oflicers of this ship have had during their life at sea, and a full account of the c.\ age has already been sent to the officials of the United States Navy at Washington. Wihat caused ihe greatest alarm on board this ship. was that she was filled with gas, arising from empty oil ta^ks.
SIX HOUSES ON FIRE.
SIX HOUSES ON FIRE. SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM AT BARRY DOCK. A sensation was caused at Barry Docks on Saturday night by the circulation of a report that the notorious Gueret-street—the "Tiger Bay" of the Barry district—situated in the centre of the most populous part of the district, was 011 fire. The alarm of the outbreak, was raised about nine o'clock, and in a few minutes the entire local staff of police, about eighteen in number, under the charge of Sergeants W. Brown and H. Evans, were on the spot with the limited public appliances available for deal- ing with outbreaks of fire. The police found that the fire originated in the back portion, of an untenanted house in Gueret-street, belong. ing to Mr. Henry Adams, a Cardiff gentleman, and an abundant supply of water was played upon the conflagration, which was rapidly sprwdiiv to the adjoining houses. The po!io* have a suspicion taat the fire had been delibe- rately planned, and, from inquiries, they arrested three youths and placed them in custody 011 suspicion of having set the property on fire. Meanwhile the most active efforts were being put forward, under the personal supervision ot Mr. Superintendent Giddings, to curtail the progress of the flames, but for some time they were unsuccessful owing to the miserably inefficient character of their appliances, and fears were entertained lest the whole street would be burned to the ground. Notwithstand- ing the plucky exertions of the police and many helpers, by ten o'clock six of the houses on the upper side of the street were in a. blaze. Facility was offered to the spreading of the fire from one house to another owing to the fact that the parting wall separating the tene- ments in the streets only reached to the eaves, so that there was nothing to prevent the flames travelling along the "crease" between the upper ceiling and the ridge. In this way five of the houses were enveloped in flames, and the fire would have spread further had not the police, with much preaenoe of mind. unroofed an adjoining house to prevent further progress, and by midnight the am- flagration was completely got under. As flames spread from house to house, howww, exciting scenes were witnessed, several famffies in the vicinity hurriedly clearing the furni- ture out of their houses and seeking Nfw«8 overnight in empty houses on the opposite side of the street. Difficulty was also expe- rienced in shutting off the water at the stand* pipe after the fire, and for some time a power- ful volume of water burst upwards to a height of 15ft. or 20ft., and the street became almost flooded. At length a waterman arrived on the scene, and the water was diverted at the main junction. INTERVIEW WITH A RESIDENT. Our reporter had an interview at midnight on Saturday with Mr. Charles Hardy, of 21, Gueret-street, who gave a. thrilling account of the hazardous experiences of his wife and family during the evening. "I was not at home," he said, "when the fire broke out, bub my wife sent for me when she saw that our house—next door but one to the hcuse in whiob the fire originated—was in danger. I came home, and we had to clear out at once. We got the children out of bed, and carried them to an empty house opposite. I then got mil- tance. and we removed the furniture out of the house just in time to save it from beinc destroyed. Had the fire occurred after mid- night I don't know what would have hap- pened, but eome lives would surely have beezt lost, as the flames spread so rapidly." THE ESTIMATED DAMAGE. Hundreds of persons visited ruins in Gueret-strtot on Sunday. Four of the houses are completely gutted, and tJae roof of two others were partially stripped in order to intercept thie ravages of the deetrva* tive element. Fortunately, the weather ww perfectly calm on Saturday night, otherwim the entire block of about twenty houses would* without doubt, have been destroyed. damage done is estimated at about £1, but whether the loss is covered by insurance or not we do not know. Up till Sunday afternoon Mr. Adams, the owner, had noli visited Barry Dock. The police have not yet obtained sufficient evidence to juåify their preferring changes of incendiarism, sait three youths who were detained on Saturday, night on suspicion have since been liberated. The polioe complain very much of the delay and inconvenience they experienced on Satur- day night in dealing with the hose owing tn the want of a, reel.

The principal causes for the increased mortality were bronchitis, pneumonia, and influenza, the last disease accounting for nine victims.
