HOW TO GET A BICYCLE. I Young Hopeful Papa, it worries me awful to think how much trouble I give mamma." Papa: "She hasn't complained." No, she's real patience. But she often sends me to the stores for things, and the stores is a good ways off sometimes, and I know she gets most sick waitin' when she's in a hurry." Not often, I guess." Oh, she's most always in a hurry. She gets everything all ready for bread, and finds at the last minute she hasn't any yeast or she gets a pudding all fixed, and finds she hasn't any nut- meg or something then she's in an awrul stew 'cause the oven is all ready and maybe company comin'; and I can't run a very long distance, you know, andT feel awful sorry for poor mamma." Humph Well, what can we do about it ?" I was thinking you might get me a bicycle."

I In the Queen's Bench to-day—before Justices Mathew and Smith—Mr Montagu Lush appeared on behalf of St George the Martyr, Southwark, and stated that the vestry had obeyed the writ of mandamus which tho court had issued command ing them to levy a rate to pay the rector's salary. Mr English Harrison, representing the members of the vestry who had always been in favour of making the rate, asked that the costs of the legal proceedings should be borne by those members who at first refused to make the rate, and against whom the court had granted attachments. Their lordships said that those vestrymen who had been contumacious must pay tho costs of the proceed- ings, and made an order accordingly.

I Matricide nearWaterford I The Press Association's Waterford correspon- dent telegraphs :-A young man named Hearn was arrested last night on a charge of killing his mother at her home at Tenercene, about five miles from Waterford. He will be brought before the magistrates to-day. PRISONER BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE. j A later telegram says :—Hearn this afternoon appeared before Mr Bodkin, R.M., at Waterford, when the deceased woman Bridget Hearn's depo- sitions were put m. It appeared that the prisoner some time ago got married, and insisted upon bringing his wife home to live under his mother's roof. The mother objected to this, and quarrels ensued, with the resulu that the mother was subjected to gross cruelty. Finally, Hearn returned home one day, caught hold of his mother in a rude manner, knocked her down and kicked her until she became insensible. Tho poor woman lingered for two days after this and died. At the coroner's inquest the jury returned an open verdict, but the police after investigating the case decided to arrest the prisoner. Mr Bodkin committed him for trial at the next Kil- kenny Assizes on a charge of manslaughter.

IMMORALITY AT CARDIFF. I MANAGER OF THE ROYAL HOTEL I SUMMONED. 1 At the Cardiff police-court this morning—Sir C Morgan Morgan, Alderman Jacobs, and Dr H. J. Paine being on the bench—some charges were r preferred by the police against the manager of I the Royal Hotel, Mr Bernardht Harman, of permitting the Royal Vaults in Westgate-street j to be an habitual resort and meeting-place of I prostitutes" contrary to the Licensing Acts. The first offence was alleged to have been com- mitted on the 23rd December, and the last on the 26th March. Mr Lloyd, the Deputy Town Clerk, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Arthur Lewis (in- structed by Mr H.W.Parker,represented the defen- dant. On the cnse being called Mr Arthur Lewis, having asked permission and obtained it to make a preliminary statement,said the directorate of the hotel company would give an undertaking that women of this class should for the future be altogether excluded from their premises. The greatest difficulty was experienced, from the position of the vaults, in preventing loose women congregating there. He was prepared to give this undertaking if the magistrates approved the course suggested. Mr Lloyd, asked by the Court what ho had to say, stated that he had made no agreement to carry out such a course as that mentioned. He had not yet heard admission of the offence from the learned counsel, and could not, therefore, con- sent to the proposed course. If a plea of guilty were made to one of the charges, say the last, that on the 20th March, he would not offer opposition to the proposal. Mr Lewis, on behalf of the defendant, then pleaded guilty to the charge alleged in tha infor- mation in the last case, and repeated the volun- tary undertaking. The magistrates then formally dismissed the whole of the summonses. I

CARDIFF FOOTPATH PRESERVA- TION SOCIEFY. ihe annual general meeting of the Cardiff Footpaths Preservation Society was held in the Grand Jury-room of the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Thursday evening, when the chair was occupied by Mr C. Thompson. There were also present "\r H. M. Thompson, Mr F. Hvbart, Mr A. IL H hart, Mr G. F. Little, Mr -F. Sankev, and i o-■ iers. The annual report presented by the hon. secretary, Mr E. Beynon Lewis, stated that the society had been steadily working during the year. The path at Fairwater haa been brought before the Llandaff Highway Board, and after considerable trouble in gutting evidence it was so conflicting that no further steps were taken in the matter. It showed, how. ever, that the society was recognised by the Highway Authorities. The War Office considered that they were perfectly justified in stopping the path on the cliff at Lavernock. The path at andaff. about which there was a letter in a daily paper, was not stopped. The path ati Lavernocn House, where a door had been put up, was not stopped, as the door was never fastened. Some footbridges near Sully had been put down by the Highway Board, and others were in contemplation. It was suggested that the monthly meeti ng should be held in the evening instead of at mid-day.—The report was adopted. —It wa,s decided to again consider what action could be taken in connection with the Fairwater path.—It was resolved to request the Dinas Powis Highway Board to ask the War Office to provide a path round the fort at Laver- nock Point in place of the one that had recently been fenced in from the public.-It was agreed that in future the monthly meetings be held at S p.m. on the first Thursday in each month, and that the Mayor be requested to grant the use of a room in the Town-hall. Any person, whether a member of the society or not, knowing of any path that was in danger of being stopped, was desired by the meeting to report the fact to the secretary or other officer in order that the matter might be investigated.

THE SEAMEN'S UNION AMALGAMATION. A meeting oi the members of the Committee of tle Cardiff Branch of the recently-formed Natioiial Boarding Masters' Association was held at the Pavilion Hotel, The Hayes, Cardiff, on Thursday evening. Mr W. James occupied the chair, and there was n fair attendance.—Mr GraSunder, speaking of the opposition to the new organisation from local boarding-masters, stated that after a careful perusal of the report ot the dissentients' meeting held on Wednesday night, he failed to see that any reason had been advanced proving that tho scheme would meet with other than complete success. In his opinion, by ap- proaching the boarding-masters with these pro- posals, the secretary of the Seamen's Union frankly acknowledged that he had made a mis- take in attacking them as a class. This would have the effect, he predicted, of causing the public and the Legislature to realise that the boarding-masters needed protection in their business against the fraudulent prpctices of a cer- tain low-class of seamr -.i. They were determined, as a body, to make this new movement a success, and feared not the opposition of the few outside the fold. (Applause.)—Mr John Gardner con. gratulated the boarding-masters on the business. like manner in which they had conducted the preliminary arrangements in connection with the starting of the new Association. The opposition was of little consequence, and he was informed that the majority of the score or so present at the so-called dissentient meeting were other than bona-fide boarding-house keepers.—Mr Morgan Rees was selected as the solicitor of the Cardiff branch, and it was a,greed that all moneys of the Union should be deposited in the National Provincial Bank of England.

I S S' t k Swansea Strike. :<í, Position of Affairs To-dav. IMPORTATION OF POLICEMEN. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE ECHO."] The strike at Swansea continues, and at the moment of writing there is no more work being done at the docks than yesterday. The gentle- men blacklegs succeeded yesterday in putting 250 tons of fuel into the Montaire out of the 400 tons required to complete the cargo, and they are this morning continuing the work. By the midnight tram eleven constables and a sergeant arri ved from Newport to augment the total police force, and others are being drafted in from the county. The demeanourof the Unionists, how- ever, is such that no disturbance is expected. There are some prospects of a nearer approach between the employers and the men. The men complain of being ignored by the Employers' Association, but representations having been made by the employers that this was unintentional, the men are prepared to give reasonable facilities for clearing up any misunder- standing, if any exists. With this object the leaders will to-day wait on the Mayor who is chairman of the Employers' Association, and the probable outcome of this will be that, later in the day a conference will be > arranged between representatives of the men and the employers. In the meantime the Executive of the Union will meet to go finally through their grievances, and demand with the object of making them as acceptable as possible to the employers, due regard being, of course, had to the dignity of the Union and the interests of its mem- bers, and during the evening a meeting of the men will beheld in the Drill-hall, and the manifesto containing the complete case of the men will be finished ready for publication in our columns. A batch of so-called free labourers arrived from Newport, but on their way down to the Docks they walked into the arms of Union pickets, with the result that they declared they had been deceived by the people who engaged them at Newport, and volunteered to re- turn. This they will do this afternoon. About 50 free labourers arrived at Swansea by the Midland from Liverpool, and they were got into the docks without encountering the pickets. This was done, by their being transferred to a tinplate van, which was shunted right into the East Dock. The dock was then closed to all but non strikers, and the em- ployers boast that with this contingent they will be able to resume tba work of tinplate shipping and to finish the loading of the City of Worcester to-day. The employers are now having a meeting. They reiterate their determination to remain firm, and the attitude of the men is equally firm. [Additional details will be found on the l¡.tlJ page.] — „

THE PENTYRCH BICYCLE OUTRAGE. Conflicting Statements. TC THE EDITOR OF THE" SOUTH WALES ECHO." SlK,—With reference to your Pentyrch corre- spondent's letter of the 23th inst. he was evidently not an eye-witness, or ho would not have stated what he has as facts. I emphatically say that there were more than children on the side of the road, and that the ball did not fall by the action stated, but was deliberately rolled into Mr Easter- brook's way, it being impossible for him to clear it. With regard to the assistance rendered by those present, not one of the Pentyrchians raised even a little finger to assist him in any way, his own companions being the only helpers he had on the spot, the children (?) "concentrating their atten- tion with curiosity on the bicycle, apparently a very rare object m their neighbourhood. One of the onlookers suggested to the victim that it was an accident, to which the latter replied, "Of course it was," he not having seen tho ball thrown (as the writer did), and therefore not thinking it possible for anyone to do such a deed. In conclusion, I may state that Mr Easterbrook's injuries did not receive the slightest attention at I Pentyreh. -I tm, &c.. EYE-WITNESS. I

A NEWPORT BAILIFF AND HIS I -1 HOUSEKEEPER. At the Newport borough police-court to.dy- before his Worship the Mayor (Alderman Davis) and Mr Henry Phillips—William Vaughan, bailiff, 45, Livingstone street, Maindee, appeared to answer the complaint of Clara Love, made at the previous court. Miss Love acted as housekeeper to the defendant, and she alleged that on Sunday afternoon last he knocked her down, kicked her, and pulled her hair. Vaughan's story was that the woman was in drunken hysterics, and he had to hold her down. Whilst doing so she bit his face. A witness, who has apartments at defendant's house, said that there was a quarrel between the parties, and that the woman was under the influence of drink.—The Bench decided on a fine of 21s, and bound defendant over to keep tho peace. Vaughan then wished to take out a war- rant against the woman, whom he alleged had taken away a portion of his furniture. Here a man at the back of the court interfered, and Vaughan, Miss Love, and the interferer were all shouting and gesticulating at the same time. The police ultimately restored order and the parties left the court.

THE RELEASE OF MRS OSBORNE I I understand (says the correspondent of the Manchester Courier) that. Mrs Osborne will be released from gaol on the 7th of next month. A communication to this effect has bsen conveyed to Captain Osborne from an official source. Mrs Osborne has been very prostrate during the past fortnight, and at one period her condition was so serious that the family physician was allowed to see her in consultation with the prison doctor. She is now somewhat better, but her nervous I system seems to have sustained a very severe I shock, and the doctors are anxious concerning her condition.

We live in an ago of record breaking, and Mrs Pike's capture lias certainly broken the record so far as salmon angling on the Lakes of KUlarney is con. cerned. The fish showed grand sport for close on two hours. He took a small phantom minnow, and was hooked on a split-cane rod of lift, long, weighing only 9ozs. U

MARRiAC? OF MR GARuOHS- I' f\ r,  ï  WILUAMS. On Thurr'.ay afternoon at s- Church, Kensington, with fully chol-al service and amid splendid floral decorations, the wedding was duly solemnised of Mr Gerald Garnons-Will'iams, of St. John's Mount, Brecon, son of the Rv Prebendary Garnons- Willinms ana Miss Minnie Lilian Court, youngest daughter of the late Major Henry Court, C.S.I., and Mrs Court, of Iver- fr.rne, Backs. The ceremony was conducted by the father of the bridegroom, assisted by the Rev A. (Jarnons-Williams, and the Rev Maun Statham, M.A. The bride was given away by her brother. Mr Howell Jones-Wilhams, of Coity, Brcconsnire, was best man. The wedding gown was of ex- quisite white duehesse satin, trimmed with Brussels point lace, the gift of her mother, and full court train, with fringe of lilies of the valley artistically arranged. Her tulle veil covered a neat tiara of real orange blooms. Her ornaments were a pearl brooch, the gift of the bridegroom, and a moonstone bracelet of great beauty. Her bouquet was composed of lilies of the valley, with trails of smilax and lilies en suite. There were six bridesmaids—four cousins of the bride and sister and cousin of the bridegroom—who wore gowns of cream corduroy trimmed with daffodil- coloured silver chenille. Their hats were of chip to match. The bridegroom's presents to them were gold shamrock brooches and bouquets of lilies of the valley, out of compliment to the bride's name. Master Penry Woriledge, son of Captain Woriledge, of Edinburgh, acted as train- bearer (a nephew of the bridegroom), who was picturesquely costumed in "a page's dress, taken from a family picture at Abercamlais of the year 1570. The reception given by Mrs Court at Bailey's Hotel, South Kensington, was largely attended, among those present being Mr and Mrs Walter, of Beach wood; Mr and Mrs Robert Devereux, Mrs Court, Misses Court, Mrs William Garnons-Williams, Mrs and Misses Garnons- Williams, the Rev Preb.

I Cardiff Building Trades Dispute. 1 MORE FAVOURABLE OUTLOOK. I Meeting of Carpenters and Joiners. The position of affairs in the dispute in the Cardiff building trades on Thursday assumed a more favourable phase than it had previously worn, although the danger of a strike is by no means averted. The improved outlook is due mainly to the. fact that so important a section of operatives as the carpenters and joiners decided, by a unani- mous vote, to re-open negotiations with the Master Builders' Association. It is true that the strongest feeling was manifested in the meeting against clause 6 as it stands, and it may be taken as a certainty that in its present form the clause will not be accepted by the carpenters and joiners. The contention of this numerous and intelligent body of artizans that Rule 6 of the employers' proposals is far too comprehensive in its scope, seems well founded, and it is one the reasonableness of which is recognised by the more influential of the master builders. It seems a fair cl:1im to url,e-as it is urged by the carpenters-that the rule would be more practical and more easily grappled with if it were so sub-divided that the important sections of the building trades should be separately dealt with under its operation. If the rule is aimed mainly at a particular section, it is unreasonable to saddle the responsibility of its rejection or the odium of its acceptance upon classes of trade not directly in view. However, this and other matters will, in all probability be threshed out to-night before the Master Builders' Associa- tion, who are not likely to receive uncordially the deputation from the Carpenters'" and Joiners' Society and it were well in the interests of all parties that nothing should be printed which is at all calculated to prejudice a settlement. It is greatly to be desired that the report which the deputation will be able to give to the adjourned meeting, to be held in the Colonial Hall, after the interview with the stieli asto lead almost immediately to mutually satisfactory con- clusions. IVe understand that another aggregate meeting of the Operative Masons' Society will be held to- night in the Gladstone Hall to further consider the situation. There seems a disposition on the part ot many of the masons favourable to entertaining proposals for a modification of Rule 6 and if that important body is prepared to enter negotiations with that object, instead of first insisting upon the entire deletion of the proposed clause, it is not improbable that a strike will, after all, be obviated. The worked stone question will doubtless prove a serious obstacle in the way of settlement but where there are ne- gotiations, there must always be hope. On Thursday night, an agg-reate meeting of carpenters and joiners was held in the Colonial Hall, to consider the form of reply to be made to the ultimatum of the Master Builders' Association. Mr John Jenkins presided over a largeattendance. At the outset, it was complained that the position of the carpenters and joiners had been somewhat overshadowed by the way in which the masons had pressed forward questions from their own standpoint. The hope was expressed that, notwithstanding that the Press had declared a strike was inevit- able, even at the eleventh hour an amicable settle- ment would be come to—an expression that was received with applause. It was reported that a letter had been received from a prominent firm offering to concede an advance of Id per hour until the questions in dispute were settled, and to follow the lead of the Master Builders' Associ- ation when an agreement was concluded. In the subsequent proceedings it was stated that part of the sixth clause (employers' proposals) which principally concerned the carpenters and joiners, was that relating to piecework. If the employers claimed to be at perfect liberty to let piecework to an unlimited extent, the carpenters and joiners, if they acceded to it, would have to abrogate the clause in their code of rules which prohibited sub. contracting and piecework. Butastrong hope was expressed that the meeting would authorise an emphatic refusal to be given by the committee to legalise piecework in the way suggested by the employers. Worked stone was evidently the main thing aimed at by the Masters' Association but, it was asked, why was it not specifically put for- ward, and not incorporated in a form which affects the carpenters and jomers, who had nothing to do with it? Complaint was made that in modelling the 6th clause on the lines of the rules in operation at Birmingham, Liverpool, Walsall, &,c., the Cardiff employers had not taken the Birmingham and Liverpool rule in its en- tirety. At B riningham, for instance, the master builders did not claim to take on an unlimited number of apprentices. Then, at Liverpool, the rule was siwply-" Each employer shall conduct his business in any way that he thinks most advantageous in all detads of manage- ment, not infringing the individual liberty of the workmen." If Rule 6 of the Cardiff employers had been worded exactly in that way, it was not believed there would have been aroused the same intense irritation and bitterness which was manifested to-day among the workmen in the Cardiff building trades. After a few preliminary speeches a resolution was moved and seconded that the 6th clause 8,ould not be accepted in any shape or form. This was carried nan con. Immediately afterwards a speaker declared that he knew as a fact that the most influential builders in Cardiff are willing to withdraw Rule 6 if the men would be satisfied with an advance of %d per hour. He proposed :—" Resolved that the secretary of our United Trades Committee be instructed to com- municate with the secretM-y of the Builders' Association, intimating that cur committee will be prepared to meet the master builders at their meeting at the Angel Hotel on Friday evening next, with a view to further consider the points of difference existing between the carpenters and joiners and themselves." This resolution was carried unanimously. A meeting was held on Thursday night, at the Glove and Shears Inn, of the operative plumbers. The deputation which had waited upon the joint meeting of master plumbers and master builders on the previous night reported the result of the interview. After a discussion, we are informed that the men decided to act in concert with the other sections of the building trades. The Joint Trades' Committee had a meeting at the Three Horse Sheas Inn. The resolutions which had been adopted by the trades represented on the committee, in response to tho ultimatum of the Master Builders' Association, v.-r-ro sub- mitted. These were found to be unanimously against the proposed 6th clauso ol the employers'

Why not Avoid a Strike ? TO THE EDITOR. Sir, -It is with diffidence that I wiite on this subject. However, I feel sure that I am only expressing a very wide felt regret that a strike of so much importance should be imminent. I think it is generally admitted that a strike is a war. It is a war where the armies are very unequal in number but the superior armoury and engineer- ing of the small army gives it upon the whole an advantage over the great army. It is also certain that a strike of any consequence means a number of slam mostly it is a slaughter of innocents— of children and of women. In its train follow also the mlnoro incidents of war—of sick- ness, homelessness, etc. With the twenty thousand directly concerned, and the countless myriadswho have to suffer indirectly, the issue is very serious. It is nothing new to apply the principles of inter- national law to these strikes. So far as the rela- tion of one person with another is concerned, we have long ago arrived at the result that one indi- vidual has no right to injure much less to kill another in redressing his own wrong. There is a tendency to arbitrate more and more in the supposed wrongs of States, much to the advan- tage of the civilised world. It does appear to be still more frequent than it is in the internecine tribal war of which strikes are made. Surely the federation of trades and the federation of masters can in some way bring about the moral necessity of arbitrating. I will venture another remark bearing on free labour," as it is from a pomt of view not so familiar as it ought to be. It ought to be to the benefit of mankind that anything should be done in the most efficient way possible. If dressing stones at the quarries is easier and more econo- mical, besides involving less cartage, it ought to be done there, even if done with the aid of machinery. The intention of all beneficent dis- coveries is to lighten the load of human toil and to increase the happiness of mankind. Counting the Continent, if not without, we are millions, many millions, who aim at bringing to the com- mon good of those who toil with arm and spin with brain, the many and various advantages of all the labour that has been and that is going on. But even now no real good can come by theselfish principle involved in the" free labour clause. I should think it would be eas y to insist upon Trade Unionism without insisting that all the work should be done by the trade in Cardiff. Trade Unionism goes dpep. I wonder if all the tools of these Trade Union workers have been made by Trade Union men. The responsibility of a strike is the responsi- bility of going to war. It need not eome, but if it do woe to them through whom it comes.—I am &c.. &c., D. R. JONES. I 19, Paget-street, Grange, Cardiff.

I District Intelligent, CARDIFF. i TITE IIIAT-DAY .SPOUTS.—On Thursday evening the Cycnsts Committee meeting in connection with the May-Day sports to be held in the Sophia Garaens was held at the Town-hall, Mr J.

Last evening Mr Councillor Price was reported to have taken a decided turn for the better, and his numerous friends will be pleased to hear that while he cannot yet be pronounced to be quite out of danger, there is every hope of his early convalescence. MODEr, YACHT OLUB.-The above club intend, should the weather permit, bringing off another open yacht race on the Pond at Saltmead on Saturday afternoon. We understand that these races are promoted for the purpose of encouraging persons who are not members of the club bring- ing out their models, and trying conclusions with the club models. The club is making steady pro- gress. but in a town like Cardiff they ought to be able to make a much larger show than they have been able to do up to the present. SALE OF CONFISCATED BEER, &c.—■On Thursday morning the whole of the beer and utensils seized by the Cardiff police in shebeen raids during the past 10 weeks were sold by auction by Mr Maurice Bailey, in the Town-h-tll yard.

SMALL-POX AT PEMBROKE. ■ Sensational Allegations Disposed of. At the Pembroke Board of Guardians on Thursday, Dr Reynolds, medical oiffcer of health for the borough of Pembroke, and who is also a medical officer under the Guardians. was asked several questions as to the outbreak of small-pox in the borough. Dr Reynolds, in reply, said that the matter was not half so black as it had been painted in the Western Mail. Twenty-five cases and one death had occurred. The cases were doing well, and the death was that of a weakly child. It was all kept within a radius of 100 yards, except that there was one case at Pennar. The latter was a very mild one, however. He was confidently anticipating that that day fortnight he would be able to tell them that all the cases wer6 conval- escent. They were nearly :111 in that state now. Mr H. G. ALLEK, Q.C. It is of a very-mild type, I hear. Dr REYNOLDS Very mild, sir. The CHAIRMAN So mild that some of the doctors are beginning to doubt if it is small-pox at all. (Laughter). Dr REYNOLDS There is no doubt of its being smali-pox, but it is very mild, and we have it well in hand. Thematter has been greatly exaggerated by the Western 7)?<7. Ly 'Nir JAMES PHUMPS. J.P., Honeyborou?h House: Tney must have something sensational, you know. (Laughter.) The subject then dropped. Local ,"@fifi The residents in Pembroke are most indignant at the grossly exaggerated statements which have appeared, and the question is being asked whether it has been done to keep the Carmarthen Militia in the ancient town of Carmarthen.
