The Plant and Machinery axe 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 iinto tll 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 £40, ..dt1. a dead rent of X100, also a royalty of Set. for every ton of lime burnt, which merges into the dead rent, with a proviso that, the «gr«em«nt shall net terminate unless certain events occur. For Permission to View the Works apply to Cap tainR. M. John, Aberthaw; and for Further Par- ticulars apply to Messrs. Shirley and Sons, Solicitors, High-street, Cardiff; or to the Auctioneer, West- gata-chambers, Westgute-strect, Cardiff. 67136 -?-?- ?_ ?, ??-. [ ^ntoants, 3Barmaflrs,#f. SERVANTS WANTED.

WEEK'S AMUSEMENTS.
WEEK'S AMUSEMENTS. POPULAR DRAMA AT CARDIFF THEATRE ROYAL. The sensational drams," 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 phenomenal success. This is the third visit to J 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 against the Jews, which is initiated by the "Governor-general Jaracoff, 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 audience. Mr. Appleby makes an able "Sparta." The feature of the play, perhaps, is the performance of the inimitable Mr. John Lawsonas Trolsky," the timid waiter, who sings 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 and E. A. Paulton, with music 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 dresses consequently are both beautiful and picturesque. "Dorcas" is a village belle, and has been recently married to the landlord of the Lambourne Arms, 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 lease to the innkeeper ("Lubin Mugby") on account of a trumped- up charge of poaching, persuade him to go with his wife to Lambourne 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 has not seen her for many years, but who has persuaded her to come heme from abroad with the view of her engage- ment to "Lord Beauregard. 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 hall 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 Lr.mbourne," who, by the way, is married, is not at all acceptable to his lady. The situations I 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, and. 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 justice to the authors and composers. Miss Florence Morrison made a charming and viva- cious "Honoria," and at onoe 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 Saran Rose" and other songs. Mr. Charles Fisher iand Mx. Da.n Fairrough, as "Lord Beauregard" and "Lord Lambourne," were capi- tal representatives of those noblemen; and the drolleries of Mr. A. C. White, as "Lubin," the stupid and jealous husband of "Dorcas," were irresistible. Charming songs and grace- ful dances are freely introduced, and, aa the artistes possess excelledjt voices, these por- tions of the performance wera received with enthusiasm on each occasion. The company is a good one all round, and, as the piece is well staged, there oan be no 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, wù. 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 anecdote 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 chic French serio-comic, who has made a great reputation for herself in England, obtained a big reception at Swansea on Monday eTènmf; and scored immouxely. Mr. ChMlea Seel, the inimitabla rocalistaad 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 f who have appeared on a music hall stage. 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 act 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 oast 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 performance 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 bad 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, SulliTanian all through.
HEALTH OF LLANDAFF.
HEALTH OF LLANDAFF. DR. PRICHARD'S 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 • 3'7 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 male than female children, and seventeen more deaths of male than female persons; 12-7 per centum o' 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 shortlv institute lec- tures in elementary ntirsing, hygiene, and kin- dred subjects. In his report Dr. Prichard also notes that during the year great advance has been made in the treatment of that fatal disease diphtheria. Upon this subject he, reaif'jks -"In antitoxin—the attenuated virus of diphtheria—we have a specific, if it is v-fed at a sufficiently early stage. The Glamorgan County Council will, doubtless, in the 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 dfsease. If these were present in however mild a case, the proper treatment could he rtsorted to at once, and every pre- caution taken."
BANK OF WALES.
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 RlrrER.
IS IT JACK THE RlrrER. 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 terrible- and mysterious crime that has been perpetrated there. A few days ago a shepherdess, named Rosa Fernan- dez, and very prepossessing, was reported to b,3 missing. A search was made, '• and the remains of the girl were found on the nomvtain side. Her head was severed from the trunk, and there were many dagger vounds in the chest, and the lower portions of the body were mutilated in a terrible manner, the murderer, as in the case of the WhitechapeJ criminal, having carried away a portion of the mutilated remains. On 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.
BOXING IN THE RHONDDA. THE UNDEFEATED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD AT PONTYPRIDD." [BT Welsh ATHLETE."] Welshmen will be peculiarly interested in the spurring bout at Pontypridd on Monday, principally because we have never, before the days of Dai St. John. turned out a man who has put forward any claims to the heavy-weight championship of the world. Benjamin, of Chepstow, who met Tom Savers, was probably the 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 Inch, for Morgan Crowther has upheld our reputation in this respect. Still, it is a our reputation in this respect. Still, it is a great thing" to liavo one who is considered to hold championship of the world claims, hence the 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 cleimed 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 Merthyr, three years ago. A twelvemonth later James wished for another try. b'lt it brought him no more satisfactory result than the first encounter did. St. John's Waterloo came when he met O'Brien at the National Sporting Ciub. That was a terrific fight. The Lor doners swore they had never seen such a fight between "big 'uns," neither, I should say, had anyone else. First, it was 10's on St John, then 10's on O'Brien. and so it went on until the end. After this St. Jehu was quiet for a little time. Then he went to London and put out, "the Coffee Cooler" at the Eden Theatre of 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 23 years of acre 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 couples of boxers and several vocalists | trave their services. Evans and Norman, the first couple appearing, grave 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. Then a gentleman named "Snooks" and his partner provided the audience with an entertainment that was more vigorous and laughable 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 he 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 make no doubt but that the tour of the pair through the Rhondda. will l>e attended' with the greatest amount of success.

A SAD CASE. I GIRL CHARGED WITH MURDER- ING HER BROTHER. A coroner's jury at Louth, Lincolnshire, on Monday returned a verdict of Wilful murder against a girl aered sixteen, daughter of a farm labourer, named William Gibson, at Asterby. She had been left at home in charge of her brother, a child of two years, whose body was subsequently found lying on the floor jin 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,
Back from the Dead, ■+. A LECTURER'S DAUGHTEB RESTORED TO HIM. Had Believed Her Dead Many Year. and Was Brought Face to Face With Her on the Stage. From its romantic and happy circumstances the last visit of Professor P. Sanford, a well- known American traveller and lecturer, to Buffalo, will ever 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. Professor Sanford is w4} aSvanced in years, and has devoted nearly his enfire lifetime to travel- ling and lecturing about his experiences in nearly every civilised land. His home was ori- i ginally at Chicago, where in 1870 he married a dashing young woman of that city. Married 1\ life progressed happily for a few years, and a daughter was born to the couple. Trouble soon J dawned upon the family and the honw vu '{ broken up. Professor Sanford left Chicago and did not return for several years. He went to, California and then began a tour of the world. 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- ments as true and left there, continuing his travels. Three or four weeks ago he went to Buffalo. His hair was sprinkled 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.

Burgess and Co., were landed at Southampton from the steamship Spartan, one of the Union Steamship Com- pany's line. The greater portion of the ship- wrecked men belonged to Wales, and were,- subsequently, sent to their respective homes by the agent of the. Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. On Sunday evening Mr. George Welsh, cook, 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 course of a conversation relative to the disaster, said the' Highmoor left Cardiff on the 15th of October, last year, and on the 19th of December, when: off the coast of Zanzibar, she, during a foggy, night, struok a reef, and rapidlv 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 en, board the men all got into the boats safely, .,net' they landed on an island. Under the dirco-s tiou 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 withn a native, who, proving to be1' friendly, by signs informed them that 30; portion of the island was inhabited, and tha^ two white men resided there. In a, short time the sailors found the Englishmen, who proved' 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 the Spartan, and ultimately reached Southampton, after a rather «tormy passage.
