THE ABERTHAW PEBBLE LIME WORKS, ABERTHAW, NEAR COWBRIDGE, GLAMORGANSHIRE. MR. J. E. GUNN is in receipt of instructions from the Debenture Holders to SELL by AUCTION, at the ROYAL HOTEL, CARDIFF, on THURSDAY, THE 11TH DAY OF APRIL, 1895, at Three o'clock in the Afternoon, all that IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE PROPERTY Known us THE A.BERTHAW PEBBLfi LIME WORKS, Together with the Whole of the MODERN MACHINERY, FIXED AND LOOSE PLANT, &c., With the right to get from the Beach forming part of the Fonmon Estate, and from that portion of the Beach held by O. H. Jones, Esq., under a lease from the Board of Trade, as great a quantity of Pebbles as mav be required, which PRACTICALLY GIVES THK PURCHASER THE MONOPOLY of what is believed to be THE FINEST LIME IN THE WOBLD, The whole of which will be Sold in One Lot as a Going Concern. The Plant and Machinery are of the most modern construction, are in good working order, and the MANUFACTURE OF PORTLAND CEMENT could be carried on at a small cost, suitable clay being obtained in the immediate neighbourhood. There is COMMUNICATION DIRECT FROM THE WORKS TO THE RIVER, which enables small cargoes to be shipped at a trifling cost. THE COWBRIDGE AND ABERTHAW RAIL- WAY has a siding running direct into tlr .works, which are situate within a short distance of the station. The VALE OF GLAMORGAN RAILWAY passes within a few yards of the property, giving facilities for the carriage of the lime to all parts of Wales, and which hitherto has been found a difficulty in working the trade. The property is held under agreement from year to year at a rental of jMO, with a dead rent of £100, also a royalty of Sd. for every ton of lime burnt, which merges into the dead rent, with a proviso that the agreement shall not terminate unless certain events occur. For Permission to View the Works apply to Cap tain R. M. John, Aberthaw; and for Further Par- ticulars apply to Messrs. Shirley and Sons, Solicitors, High-street, Cardiff; or to the Auctioueer, West- gate-chambers, Westate-street, Cardiff. 67136 f ^ctDartts, 3SarmatUg,#c. SERVANTS WANTED.

WEEK'S AMUSEMENTS. POPULAR DRAMA AT CARDIFF THEATRE ROYAL. The sensational drama, "Siberia," was pro- duced at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, on Monday evening before a crowded audience. The piece was originally staged at the Princess's Theatre, London, under the management of Mr. W. Kelly and Miss Grace Hawthorne, and for the last eight years it has toured the provinces with phejiomenal success. This is the third visit to Cardiff, the two last occasions being at the Grand Theatre under Mr. Fletcher's management. The scenes of the plot are principally laid in Russia, the first act opening with a revolt it against the Jews, which is initiated by the Governor-general J aracoff, a role ably sustained by Mr. Frank Oswald-for the purpose of carry- ing off a young Jewess. In the second act the governor-general is stabbed by the sister of his victim, and her friends are denounced as Nihilists. In the third act is depicted the trial of the supposed Nihilists, and then banishment to Siberia. The lover of Sara," the Jewess- Nicholai "—follows her to Siberia as one of the guard. Eventually retribution evertakes the governor-general, and he and his accomplices are banished to Siberia. Needless to say, the drama is of the strongest description, and the various characters are in able hands. The parts of "Marie" and "Sara" are taken respectively by Miss Laura Reed and Miss Amy Nevada, and their efforts are warmly appreciated by the .audiencd. Mr. Appleby makes an able "Sparta." The feature of the play, perhaps, is the performance of the inimitable Mr. John Lawson as Trolsky," the timid waiter, who sing's several taking songs. It should be mentioned that tee scenic effects are all that can be desired. "DORCAS" AT THE GRAND THEATRE, CARDIFF. Mr. Clarence Sounes, the lessee and manager of the Cardiff Grand Theatre, has provided for his patrons this week one of the brightest and most artistic musical comedies which has been placed on the stage. "Dorcas" is the work of Messrs. Harry ana E. A. Paultoii, with musio^ by Messrs. Audran, Ardite, Farmer, and Ernest Woodville, and is produced under the, personal direction of Mr. Harry Paulton. The period is the close of the eighteenth cen- tury, and the diesses consequently are both beautiful aud picturesque. "Dorcas" is a village belle, and has been recently married to the landlord of the Lambourne Anns, who is very fearful lest her charms will attract the attention of the gay gallants who visit the inn. "Lord Lambourne," a landed proprietor and owner of the inn, and his friend "Lord Beau- regard" (who is temporarily adopting the role of secretary), hearing of tV beauty of "Dor- cas," make a visit to the hostelry, outside which the first act opens. They fail to get a glimpse of the village belle, but under a threat not to renew the lea,-e to the innkeeper ("Lubin Mugby") on account of a trumped- up charge of poaching, persuade him to go with his wife to Lambourue Hall. This is what "Lubin" dreads, when a way out of the difficulty is suggested by "Honoria," "Baroness Carlitz," who, with her maid "Joan," arrive in the character of pedlars, and, of course, clothed in male attire. The baroness is a handsome young widow, and sister to "Lambourne." who lia-s not seen her for many years, but who has persuaded her to come home from abroad with the view of her engage- ment to "Lord Bcauregard. She desires to judge his lordship without being recognised, and for a similar reason his lordship has taken up the character of secretary. The baroness agrees to represent "Dorcas," and go to the hal! with "Lubin," and here the second act opens. The beauty of "Honoria," the village belle pro tem., is too irresistible for the gallant young nobleman, and the conduct of "Lord Li-mbourne," who, by the way, is married, is not at all acceptable to his lady. The situations in this scene, as may be imagined, are excrucia- tingly funny. Notwithstanding the disguises, "Honoria" and "Lord Beauregard" manage to fall deeply in love with each other, but it is not until the end of the third act, which is also full of humorous situations, that the plot is unravelled, uid, of course, all ends happily. The dialogue is unusually bright, and abounds in wIttiCisms which keep the audience in the best of humour. Messrs. C. Fisher and E. Arthur's London company did full jfstioe to the authors and composers. Miss Florence Morrison made a charming and viva- cious "Honoria- and at once established her- self as first favourite. Her acting and singing were considerably above the average, and she was loudly encored for her rendering of "Le 8aran Rose" and other songs. Mr. Charles Fisher jand Mr. Dtui Fanrough. as "Lord Beauregard" and "Lord Lambourne," were capi- tal representatives of those noblemen and the drolleries of Mr. A. C. White, aB "Lubin," the stupid and jealous husband of "Dorcas," were irresistible, Charming songs and grace- ful dances are freely introduced, and, as the art.iete^ posses# excellent voices, these por- tions of the performance were received with enthusiasm on each occasion. The company is a good one all round, and, as the piece is well staged, there can lie 110 question that- during the remainder of the week the house will be as crowded as it was on Monday night. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. The programme at the Cardiff Empire this week has been compiled by Mr. Stoll with his usual care, and suffice it to say, that the company is quite up to the high standard the Empire has fixed for itself. The Collinson Sketch Company, who made such a big success during their previous visit, again produce The Academy." During the run of the sketch the audience are kept in con- vulsions. Jimmy Green gives a life-like imitation of Dan Leno, and Billy Seward, the pathetic black," has a rare fund of humour and anecdoic and a funny style which takes well. Phil Herman, the Dutch comedian, contributes several exceptionally clever songs, while Harry le Martine, a lightning dancer, gives a really remarkable exposition. The other artistes were also clever and taking. SWANSEA. Mdlle. Vanoni, the ohic French serio-comic, who has made a great reputation for herself in England, ODtained a big reception at Swansea on Monday evening, and scored immensely. Mr. Charles Seel, the MumtftMe vocalist and dancer was also exceedingly popular, and Caira and Thomas, acrobats and in strumentalists, introduced some smart business. M. and Mdme. Valjean, in Chinese Wonders," introduce many excellent tricks. Mr. Frank Davis and Miss Lizzie Gerome, a Yankee couple, in Malone's Night On," are very funny. There are also other attractive items. NEWPORT. The Milon" Marvels, who this week head the bill at the Newport Empire, are the most sensational trio of athletes who have, appeared on a music hall otage. One of their feats is particularly strik- ing. A man performs with a dumb-bell on a slack wire which is held in the teeth by his two comrades. This aot was loudly applauded. Marie Tyler on Monday night contributed several good songs in capital style. Farrell and Wilmot tickled the risible faculties of the audience to an unwonted extent, and the Red- grave Farcical Sketch Company were highly successful in their entertainment. Bright and enjoyable was the turn given by the three Sisters Chester, and Miss Frankie Milton, an attractive artiste of much promise, and Nellie Lovell, an entertaining vocalist, completed the programme. THE PANOPTICON, CARDIFF. Professor Morritt, who for the uast week has been giving his hypnotic entertainments with great success at the Empire, Swansea, returned to Cardiff on Monday for the purpose of con- ducting the exhibitions for another week. At the afternoon perf6ifimince Mr. Morritt put Eames, the Londoner, into a trance and applied the usual tests to him, after which the man was placed in a casket and conveyed to an upper room. Eames was successfully wakened in the evening. At 8.30 a Cardiff man submitted himself in order to be put into a trance for a week. The man is John Jones, a carpenter, aged 32 years, of Llandaff-road, Canton. He is a rather big man, and was intro- duced by a Mr. Lewis, who had brought Jones for Professor Morritt to hypnotise in order to test the genuineness of the affair. Mr. Lewis having made a speech to that effect, Professor Morritt proceeded to put Jones in a hypnotic sleep. This the professor accomplished in about two minutes. Jones seemed rather excited when going into the sleep, but when placed in the casket his face had assumed a tranquil expres- sion. He will be de-hypnotised on Saturday next. The management request us to state that they would like the public to form relays to watch Jones during his sleep. A man will be hypno- tised each day at three and awakened at ten o'clock. The crowded audiences on Monday seemed also delighted with the stage perfor- mance. THE CHIEFTAIN" AT NEW THEATRE, SWANSEA. At New Theatre, Swansea, on Monday even- ing was'produced, amid similar demonstrations of public approval to those evinced at Cardiff last week, the new Savoy opera The Chieftain," by Sir Arthur Sullivan and Mr. F. C. Burnand, two collaborateurs who are truly well met. The Chieftain is full of sparkling lyrics and catchy airs, and is tuneful, and, to speak briefly, Sullivanian all through.

HEALTH OF LLANDAFF. DR. PRICHARDS SUGGESTIONS TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL. Dr. Richard Prichard, M.D., medical officer of health for the Llandaff and Dinas Powis Rural District Council, in his annual report to that authority, states that 605 births were registered, which is equal to a rate of 30' 29 per 1,000 living of the estimated population; and 307 deaths were registered, which amounts to a mortality of 15'37 per 1,000 of the esti- mated population. The natural increase in the population by excess of births over deaths was 298 persons—149 males and 149 females. There were seventeen more births of mala than fema-lo children, and seventeen more deaths of male than female persons; 12-7 per centum of the children born died within the first year of their existence. With the excep- tion of seven deaths from whooping cough, there were none strictly from the group of infectious diseases. It was to be hoped and greatly to be desired that the Glamorgan County Council would shortly institute lec- tures in elementary nursing, hygiene, and kin- dred subjects. In his report Dr. Prioliard also notes that during the year great advance has beeu made in the treatment of that fatal dise-ise diphtneria. Upon this subject lie remarks "In antitoxin—the attenuated virus of diphtheria—we have a specific, if it is used at a sufficiently early stage. The Glamorgan County Council will, doubtless, in th" near future, establish a laboratory to which specimens of the membrane that affects the throat of stricken patients could be sent and examined for the characteristic bacillus of this disease. If these were present in how ever mÚ-J a case. the proper treatment could he resorted to at once, aud every pre- caution taken."

BANK OF WALES. MR. THOMAS CORY AND HIS HAR- BOUR TRUSTEESHIP. At the meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trust on Monday a letter was received from Mr. Thomas Cory resigning his office as a proprietary harbour trustee (in consequence of financial difficulties already reported). It was decided to accept the resignation, and the 22nd of April was appointed as the date of electing his successor.

IS IT JACK THE KIPFER. A TERRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS CRIME IN SPAIN. A Central News telegram from Madrid on Monday says :-A panic prevails among the women of the Pola de Lena district, in the Asturias, owing to a tcrriblo and mysterious crime that has been perpetrated there. A few days ago a shepherdess, named Rosa Fernan- dez, and very prepossessing, was reported to b3 missing. A search was made, and the remains of the girl were found on the noun tain side. Her head was severed from the trunk, and there were many dagger wounds in the chest, and the lower portions of the body were mutilated in a terrible manner, the murderer, as in the case of the Whitechapel criminal, having carried away a portion of the mutilated remains. '<)in the same day that the unfortu- nate girl's body was discovered another woman working in a field was suddenly assaulted by a man, who afterwards drew a dagger, and unsuccessfully attempted to murder her.

BOXING IN THE RHONDDA. THE UNDEFEATED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. AT POINTS 1-RlDD. FBY "WELSH ATHLETE."] Welshmen will be peculiarly interested in the sparring bout at Pontypridd on Monday, principally because we have never, before the days of Dai St. John, turned out a man who lias put forward any claims to the heavy-weight championship of the world. Benjamin, of Chepstow, who met Tom Savers, was probably tll". nearest approach we have had to this honour, whilst, in latter days, O'Brien, of Cardiff, was the heaviest man we have had to look up to as champion. In the light-weight we have had better luch, for Morgan Crowther has upheld our reputation in this respect. Still, it is a great tiling to haw one who is considered to hold championship of the world claims, hence tin' interest evinced in the encounter in ques- tion. Jackson holds a blameless record. As was stated from the stage, he is undefeated, and has done much to raise the status of the "noble art" throughout the civilised world. His draw with Corbett, when sixty odd rounds were fought, will, doubtless, be fresh in the minds of most readers. At that time Jackson claimed he was far from fit, and since then he has made several attempts to meet Corbett, but the "colour" question has always intervened. St. John is less known to fame so far. His first light was with Tom James, at Mcitliyr, three years ago. A twelvemonth later James wished for another try, but it brought him no more satisfactory result than the first encounter did. St. John's Waterloo came when he met O'prien at the National Sporting Club. That was a terrific fight. The Loi doners swore they had never seen such a fight between "big 'uns," neither, I should say, had anyone else. First, it wa-s 10'18 on Sfc John, then 10's on O'Brien, atnd so it went on until the end. After this St. John was quiet for a little time. Then he went to London and put out "the -Coffee Cooler" at the Eden Theatre or Varieties. An engagement with Peter Jackson followed, first in France and then at the Canterbury and Paragon Music-halls. winding up with Glasgow. St. John was 25 years of aire on Wednesday last; he stands about 6ft. 2in.. and weighs just over 15st. In his best fighting trim he would scale about 14st. 101b. There were a rare lot of sports at Pontypridd on Monday, when the two men mentioned above faced each other on the Empire stage. As a preliminary entertainment, half a dozen oouples of boxers and several vocalists gave their services. Evans and Norman, the first couple appearing, gave one of the smartest bouts of the evening. The first-mentioned was particularly conspicuous with a. straight left, and had all the best of the three rounds. Them a gentleman named "Snooks" and his partner provided the audience with an entertainment, that was more vigorous and laugjiable than scientific. Another good three rounds were those between Tom Jones and Lee, the first- mentioned of whom practically settled matters in the first round. There were one or two other turns, and then the grand wind up came be- tween St. John and Peter Jackson. It was very pretty and interesting, mainly because of the notoriety of the men. Jackson is as smart as ever lie was. St. John has improved won- derfully since I last saw him fight. As a. scientific spar, the bout was well worth seeing, and I makp no doubt but that the tour of the pair through the Rhondda will he attended with the greatest amount of success.

A SAD CASE. GIRL CHARGED WITH MURDER- ING HER BROTHER. A coroner's jury ai- Louth, Lincolnshire, on Monday returned a verdict of Wilful murder against a girl aged sixteen, daughter of a farm labourer, named William Gibson, at Asterby. She bad been left at home in charge of her brother, a child of two years, whose body was subsequently found lying on the floor 'in a pool of blood. She confessed that she had struck the child with a poker on the head because she was mad with him.

Back from the Dead. ♦ A LECTURER'S DAUGHTER RESTORED TO HIM. Had Believed Her Dead Many Teartf and Was Brought Face to Face With Her on the Stage. From its romantic and happy circumstanced the last visit of Professor P. Sanford, a well- known American traveller and lecturer, to Buffaio, will EWer be a memorable incident in his varied career. Professor Sanford, during his last trip through the district, came face to face with his daughter, whom he had not seen for 30 years, and whom he believed to be dead. The story of the re-union is full of romantic details, and was told by him to a. group of interested hearers the other day. i Professor Sanford is w«H advanced in years, and. has devoted nearly his entire uietime to travel- ling and lecturing about his experiences in nearly every civilised land. His home was ori- ginally at Chicago, where in 1870 he married a dashing young woman of that city. Married life progressed happiiy for a few years, and a daughter was born to the couple. Trouble soon, j dawned upon the family and the home waa broken up. Professor Sanford left Chicago and did not return for several years. He went to California and then began a tour of the worleL He continued his travels, lecturing in the prin- cipal cities, and made a snug sum of money. About twelve years ago Professor Sanford returned to Chicago. He inquired about his wife and daughter, and was told that both had died since his departure, and upon further investigation he accepted these state- n'ents as true and left there, continuing hia travels. Three or four weeks ago he went to Buffalo. His hair was spr inkled with grey and his features had greatly changed with the advance of years. He delivered several lectures there and then visited the near-by towns. He was engaged to speak at a place called Tioga Center. He lectured there on February 17. At the conclusion of his address a young woman, among others in the audience walked up to the platform and talked to him about his travels. The young woman seemed to be particularly; interested, and questioned the professor at un.. usual length. She was especially anxious to learn of his early life. In iesponse to questions lie told the young woman he had been married, in Chicago. "And is your wife still living?"' she nervously: asked. "No," replied the professor, "she and my; little daughter both died while I was away from: hcme." "Your daughter's name was what?" she oon- tuvued in a trembling voice, to the surprise of the professor. j "Clara," he responded. "She was but a fewj ytars old when I last saw her nearly 30 yearf »«o" As she continued to question him in this man-1 ner the professor began to appreciate the situa-i tion. In another minute he had realised thai; his own daughter was standing before him. He took her to his arms and kitted her ae the teius rolled down her cheeks. Each related to the other their experiences since they were parted. She took her father to her home in Tioga Center and introduced him to her husband. Professor Sanford remained at the house a short time and then came back to Buffalo. Mr. Sanford was overjoyed at finding his daughter, and will, doubtless, make her the heiress of a snug for- tune.

AN OBSTINATE BANKRUPT. AGAIN COMMITTED TO PRISON FOR HIS SILENCE. At Aberdare County-court on Monday (before Mr. Rees Williams, Registrar) Morgan Charles, gentleman, formerly owner of the Ty'r Arglwydd Estate, Mountain Ash, ap- peared upon his adjourned bankruptcy exami- nation. Mr. W. L. Daniel, the Official Re- ceiver, was also in attendance. Ever since the order of adjudication was made, nearly a year ago, the debtor has stubbornly refused to give any information, alleging that the court had no power to make him bankrupt without his consent. An order of committal was subsequently issued, and for nine months Charles has been located in her Majesty's prison at Cardiff, from which place he jour- neyed on Monday.. in charge of a warder. When asked by the learned registrar to be sworn the bankrupt positively refused, aver- ring that his reason was now the same as last year, and would continue until next year. When the Official Receiver saw him in Car- diff he positively declined to give any infor- mation, and he adhered to that refusal. Besides, he was very comfortable in his pre- sent quarters. He was not an Atheist, and did not object to the form of oath, but posi- tively refused to disclose the state of his affairs. After further ineffectual attempts the Registrar reluctantly ordered the debtor'. further committal, an. I he was removed in, custody. Since the date of the last hearing Charles's property has been disposed of by public auction, and it is stated the remit will yield 20s. in the 2, with interest froaa date of adjudication, payment of practically a thousand pounds in costs, and yet leave ai small balance. Much sympathy is felt foe the debtor, whose stubbornness is moet re- markable.

SWANSEA BARQUE LOST. FIVE DAYS ON AN ISLAND NEAR ZANZIBAR. On Saturday the crew of the barque High- moor, 1,150 tons grow register, of Swansea* owned by Messrs. Burgess and Co., weet landed at Southampton from the steamship Spartan, one of the Union Steamship Com- e pany's line. The greater portion of the ship- wrecked men belonged to Wales, and 1Nre, subsequently, sent to their respective homes by the agent of the Shipwrecked Marinem* Society. On Sunday evening Mr. George Welsh, cool^ and three able seamen belong- ing to the Highmoor arrived at Cardiff, and are now boarders at the Sailors' Home. On Monday our shipping reporter had an inter- view with Mr. Welsh, who, in the comae of a conversation relative to the disaster, said the Highmoor left Cardiff on the 15th of Ootobar last year, and on the 19th of December, whea. off the coast of Zanzibar, she, during a fogn., night, struok a reef, and rapidly filled with! water. As the barque was settling down the boats were launched, and after a supply of pro- visions and other necessaries were taken an board the men all got into the boats safely, and they landed on an island. Under the diree- tion of the captain a tent was erected, and means adopted to apprise passing vessels of their position. On the fifth day of their stay- on this island they fell in witb a native, who, proving to be friendly, by signs informed them that a portion of the island was inhabited, and that two white men resided there. In a short tim*- the sailors found the Englishmen, who proves to be a couple of missionaries, and who treated them with great kindness, and afterwards con- ducted them to Zanzibar, where they remained sixteen days, when they embarked on board tbw Spartan, and ultimately reached Southampton, after a rather stormy passage. While they were at Zanzibar Thomas Wynne, an A.B., whose friends reside at Carnarvon, had an attack of fever, and was taken to the hospital, and died there. Mr. Welsh, concluding, said that the captain, mate, and second mate wer». all residents of Swansea, and that they Wfc Southampton for home last Saturday night. and died there.
