PULICE CK-lTlLlSJtilJ. HOW PRISONERS ARE CONDUC- TED TO CARDIFF GAOL. Several Cardiff gentle-neit have called our 1 attention to what they call the inhuman, ]f not disgraceful- way in which prisoners from the Llandaff Police-court are induct id to Canliff Gaol. Only on Monday two n-en. c-har^L'd with no very serious offence, were marched, hand- cuffed, a distance of three mile.s in the charge of a constable. In pacing- t-hrouffh Cardiff, about 1.30 in the afternoon, 1 htv were follo.ved by scores of children, who jeered at them, while Gdllt" etood and locked on, many in disgust, ai a. sifh-t whieh they consider degrading to our vaunted civilisation. One gentleman said — If the authc>rit-ie« wished to harden our criminals and make them worse tlun they are, thev could not go about it more effectively than by ma-rchinpr them, fettered arm to arm, through tli J crowded streets of Cardiff. It is enough t-hat a ma.n should be punished for his offence by incarceration, and it is cruel that he should lie made, besides, the object of scorn and ridicule by his fellow-men. It. reminds one of the march of Russian exiles to Siberia, the only difference being in regard to number." Surely, the county authorities can afford to obtain a, conveyance for prisoners who are sent to gaol either on remand or for punishment? It may liapjitm that a man who has been remanded is perfectly innocent of the otfence charged against him, and yet he lias to bear the ignominy of being marched through the streets handcuffed in front, may be. of his friends and neighbours. This is certainly a case for reform.

SHIRE HORSE SHOW. LORD TREDEGAR TO BE THE NEW PRESIDENT. The Shire Horse Show wa;- opened at the Agri- cultural-hall, Islington, London, on Tuesday. Neither the quantity nor the quahty of the stock was c;i'tcj up to the liigh-water mark of some previous gatherings. For instance, m15110 there vera 646 entries, whereas this year- there a-e 489, which, liowerver. showed an increase of four- teen upon last year. The first day is always devoted to the judging of stallions, and the judges managed to finish their labours in the princimi classes* but not. before nightfall. To look for a South-Walian in t.he hall wa-s like the proverbial hunt after the needle in the bundle of liay. but Lord Llangattock was present, and late in the afternoon Lord Tredegar came in. He is the president-elect of the Shire Horse Society, and will be elected 'to this position to- morrow (Thursday) at the annual general meet- ing. South Wales is very sparsely represented i^i the catalogue, and without Lord Llangattoek, who hits sent two or three iillies, it- would be difficult to find a single entry. North Wales is nearly as badly off, though Colonel H. Halt, of LlanfaLrfecluui. is credited with half a dozen. The stallions above ten years old brouchi: several veterans into the ring. "Vulcan. a pa-fit cham- pion. belonging to the Earl of Ellesmere. and which w:v. hired for one season in North Wales at a cost- of a. thousand guineas, secured first priza The Earl of Ellesmere was also first in the succeeding class for stallions over four and under ten years as well as for the four-year-old class. "Rokeby Harold, the property of Lord Helper, which secured the championship as a vearling, was again first in the three-year-old i-huss. The other principal prize 'takers were Messrs. Barrs, Forshaw, and Arkwright.

CHAMBER CONCERTS. DR. JOACHIM TO MAKE HIS THIRTY APPEARANCE AT CARDIFF.

CONSERVATIVE CLUBS. It was announced at a supper given by Coun- cillor Hughes, chairman of the Working Men's Club. to the committee of that club on Tues- day night that arrangements had been made and ratified by the committee to take the pre- mises of the Cardiff Conservative Club, who will remove to the new Western Mail-buildings. Councillor Hughes stated that the new home. for which they would have a lease for 21, and probably 24, years, was more commodious and in every way bptter suited for a c-lub. The terms, also, were satisfactory The announce- ment was received with every sign of satisfac- tion. the premises now occupied being alto- gether too small for a club of over 1,000 members.

UKV. CYRIL STACEY DEAD. HE WAS ONCE A CURATE OF ST. JOHN'S, CARDIFF. An obituary notice was posted on the western d'«>r of St. Jotm's Church, Cardiff, on Tuesday mornuig announcing the deatll of the Rev. J. T. Cyril Stauey, M.A. Later inquiries elicited the information that he had died on Monday i ight at Jus re?idenoe, Sout-liam de la Bere, near Cheltenham. Old Carditrians will remewher the deceased gentleman some I 40 years ago as curate of St. John's, acting under his father, the Rev. Frank Staeev. who theu had sole charge of the united parishes of St. John and St. Mary. The Rev. Frank Stacey, after 28 years' ministry, was followed by the Yen. Archdeacon Howell, in 1S64. while eleven years later the Rev. Canon Thompson. U.V., the present vicar of St. John's. came to Cardiff. Mr. Cyril Stacey was educated at Merton College, Oxford, where he took his degree. He was ordained in 1851. and for nine years, as we liave said, carried out the duties of curate of St. John's. When Mr. Edward Priest Richards, formerly town-clerk of Cardiff, died, his property was left to be divided between Mr. Cyril Staeey and his brother. Mr. Francis E. Staeey. The latter geat-leman, better known as Mr. Frank Staeey, was high-sheriff of Glamorgan for the year 1673. acd for some time he wati tutor to t-he preacat ilarquess of Bute, lie resided at Llandough Castle. near I Ci>\vbridge, where he died four or five years ago. From the time of the decease of Mr. Priest Richards, the Rev. Cynl Staeev seema to have retired from the ministry, and, leaving Cardiff, to have dwelt in several districts of Herefordshire, and latterly settled down in Cheltenham. Gloucestershire, where he enjoyed the pleasures of a country gentleman's life. He took a great interest in all Euplish sports. and, with his brother, was, 50 years ago, re- nowned as a cricketer throughout South Wales. It is sasd that lie was once regarded as the best wicket-keeper in Great Britain, and certain it is that for Plany years he played with the Glamorgan County team. of which organisation he was one of the mainstays. His brother and himself were owners of considerable property in the Canton and Roath districts of Cardiff, including the old hospital in Crockherbtown, the site of the present hospital buildings. Mr. C*> ril Stacey has. howevt r. probably not visited the estates in question for twenty years.

A ROGrS RENT COLLECTOR. THE CARDIFF POLICE ON HIS TRACK. A somewhat novel system of fraud has been adopted in Cardiff within the last day or two. A man. who is at present unknown, represented himself to be a house agent, and by going round certain cottage properties succeeded in collect- in, several pounds. When the authorised agent called at these houses the fraud wa-s dis- covered. and information was promptly driven to the police. Among those who have been swindled are Mr. Davies, of the Glamorgan Building Society, and Mr. F. S. Lock, builder. It is supposed that the pretender watched the rounds of the bona fide collectors and judged his time accordingly. The police have a full descrip- tion of the man, and hope to secure his appre- hension.

STRANGE HALLUCINATION". AN INTERRUPTED FUNERAL OF A MOTHER AT BARRY. An exciting incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon at Cadoxton-Barry. The funeral had been arranged of an old lady named Mrs. May, of Brook-street, Cadoxton. and every- thing was in readiness, when a daughter of deceased, a music-hall artiste from London vigorously objected to the funer-al taking place, and declared that her mother was alive in the coffin. Dr. Treharne (who had attended the deceased) wa/5 sent for. and that crentleman pronounced Mrs. May to be dead. but M i&s May was inexorable, and demanded I that an incision be made into her mother's arm and a vein severed in order to satisfy herself that the old lady had passed away. After some delay. Miss May's morbid appre- hension* were pacified, and the interment took place at Merthyr Dovan Cemetery.

GOVERNMENT IN DANGER. MINISTERS ARE STILL GRABBING AT TIME. I The Press Association learns that the motion which the Chancellor of the Exchequer is to move on Thursday will propose that the Government appropriate the whole time of the. House on Tuesdays, and also at morn- ing sittings on Fridays, leaving Wednesdays and the evening sittings on Fridays in posses- sion of private members. It is understood this mo.tion will be resisted by the Opposi- tion, and that the Government wiH treat the motion as a question of confidence. There are rumours that several Radical members will vote against the motion as a protest in favour of certain Bills in which they are especially interested and which are not in- cluded in the Ministerial programme. One of these measures is the Miners' Eight Hours Bill. for which it is understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer finds himself unable at pre- sent to promise special facilities. Mr. Pickard, who is closely identified with this Bill, states that he will not join any cave on the subject, and has already intimated to the ecutive of the Miners' Federation that he does- not intend to give any vote which he regards at. likely to eoda&g*! the exiofceooe 01 the Government.

ARMENIAN ATROCITIES. MORE TALES OF OUTRAGE AND VILLAGES DEVASTATED. A Reuiter's telegram from V, ienra on Tuesday says:—It is announced from Constantinople that in consequence of information lodged against them. 25 young Armenians, among them a cer- tain Mighirditchian. a writer of some repute, were arrested in that city on the 21st and con- veyed to the central prison by the police. Trustworthy reports from Armenia, which have recently reached the Turkish capital represent the position of the Armenians in the town of Tche-mich Grazak. in the pidviiic-e of Maniouiohul Aziz. as most deplorable- The place is full of refug-ees from neighbouring villages, which have lieen devastated by the Kurds. The notorious Kurd chieftain. Úiap. has taken possession of the farms and other property of the villagers, as well as the estates of the Armenian Convent. Sourp Nichan. which is in ruins. The Arme. nian and Mussulman inhabitants of the village of Everck, near Cesarea. complain bitt >riy of the misdeeds of the Kurdish ohief. Aali Bey Oghlon Chefket. and his lieutenants. Hamdi and Achgfc. The wife of a certain Djivau Kirkor a.nd several other young girls ware violated, arid, in fact, Chefket Bey and his satellites are the terror of the district. They publicly fog the people, and compel them to pay large sums in the form of fines.

AN ENORMOUS FORTUNE. CLAIMANTS TO TEN MILLION DOLLARS AT SWANSEA. The Hon. Anthony Howells, (the Cnited States Consul at Cardiff (says the Swansea Post. has received a singular letter from The States. For reasons which may occur to some people, the addresses are withheld. The letter l eads — Hon. Sir.—It is all assured fact that a vast estate is coining to the descendants of Joseph. William, and Moses Griffiths, from Wales. The estate amounts to about 10.000.000 dollars, and it i? said to lie held in trust by the courts at Swansea. South Wales. The record at the court- house in Swansea. Glamorganshire, will give you information, and it can be easily obtained if the laws of limitation do not cut us out- The Gi iffithses of your Sta.te (Ohio) and W est Virginia can prove heirship.

It is hardly neoee^ sary to remind our readers that the properties claimed for the new gun are truly American, amd here is the plain, unadulterated store of some scribe who writes, doubt-iesc he}*e«nrijtf that the "Stars and Stripes" can. with tfce ajd" of this new invetitaoH. defiantly bid shcoummm tT "come on'—A recent- dnqiateh to the New* York Times" from Wiftefc's Poott. K- tells of a big 12in. grm standing OIl the ramparts there. It if- an innocent-looking gun. and a big coil of telegraph cable wound around tim muzzle end of the piece suggests that it heM. become fractured,and that the Government i& experimenting with an economical method of repairing broken-down ardnanea. The gun, however, is the most powerful eJeotri-TPa^net 1ft: the world. excepting those of naKtr&s own. ecnêtruction at the imaginary points of the earth, known 3f the niagnea, ix>les. The big magnet is the invention- of Colonel W. R King, commander of the Engineer Corps of ttoe United States Ao)m< stationed there, and seme very intereeKng eL, periinents have been made with rt. when- Colonel King conceived the idea of building an immense electro-magnet, he had Do Shaughtfc of its possibilities. There entered into ther construction of the first, magnet two hupa. guns, some j)iecee of iron, 3-nd a good nwasy miles of heavy in«ula-ted teiegrapti wire. Tim. gruns stood on carriages on top of tlte fort. The pieces of iron were fa^ened across breeches of the oannon, and were heid m piace by chains forming a, horse shoe. The tele- graph wire was wound around the muzzle ends of the guns, making two immense spook. The current of electricrty was t-upplied by dvnamo. and tiie tiret time the magnet WJM charged it developed marvellous power. Th« work undertaken simply as an experiment soon became a matter of great, importanem The magnet had not been low in exietepee when it was discovered that, it woaid deraatgte a vessel's compass at a distance of six miiec from the fort. The discovery suggested tbkris if in time of war an enemy 's ship* attempted to pass the fon under cover of darkness, or during the prwaJenoe of a heavy fog. when tfoe pilots would have to depend soieiy upon the ship's oompase. the oomeianders of the warships would probably imd vessels ashore ttea-r Wjllet's Point, where they t.Yjuld be kikiwm up with torpedoes, ordeetatoyad by gttog of the fort,, Man-y experiments have been raader from time to time in testing the power o £ j the big magnet* One of the most interesting ever attempted was made under the personal supervision of Colonel King. A tmmber of piecet; of railroad iron were plaoed near thofc muzzles of the guns and dtte ourretit of aim*. tncicy turned cu. Immediately the raiis tiew to the magnet, and were heid as fast ae if they had b"E'u welded to its immense core. Colonel- King Mten had one end of a. large ohatn fas- tened around the pieces of iron to aaoerw»s the amount of power necessary to pull themt away from the raa^gnet. The other end of tfee chain was attached to a capstan, tliat was held firmly tn place by long stakes dmveu into the ground. When everything was in readme* for the test the capstan bars were manned far eight stalwart tngineers. and they endeavoured to puli the railroad iron away from the )na<?- netised guns. After straining for some tiune, the stakes holding the capstan in place ga.v# way. and it toppled over. The railroad iroa-; liad not even tnoved on the faoe of the magtiei. The dynamometer which had been attached to indicate the amount of strain th;e tnagne* would stand, showed that it had resisted 22,5001b. It was found impossible to disturb the pieces of railroad iron until the eiectrioity had been shut oiL Some time ago Colonflllt King caused t.) be made the one-gun magnet. Thirteen miles of lia-lf-inch instilaaed teiegra-pk were used in making the coil on the gun. Tt st with ,hi., magnet showed that it pos- se-ed almost a", much lÑWe.r as the iirst ana, where two guns were used for the oore. A. number of exhibitions of the working of this electro-magnet were given before the inemben of the. American Society for t-he Advancement of Science. One of the exhibitions attracted a great deal of attention, as it best illustrated the power the magne* possessed. The test consisted of four oannon. balk being suspended from the muzzle of tin gun. The balls weighed, on an average. +301 h. each. The first one was placed under the tm.2.?le of the gIID. and. notwithstanding tW smallnees of the point of contact, made so by. the shape of the suspended object, the ball wa« held very firmly. A second cannon hall was placed under the first one then a third W'il8 put under the second, and wheji the fourth ball m-A. held up by the inagnotic attraction exclamations of surprise came from the spec- tators. Tlie smallness of the central poinfc-; of lieaiMig of each cannon ball, and the rigid manner in which the four iron spheres were hold up. was considered to be the best exhibition. of the magnet's power. During the reoeM) series )f experiments, an iron tray, heaped up with old horseshoes, big u-on spikes, nuts, bolts, a-nd ther -arti--les made of iron, was given to a soldier, and he was directed to boid th» tray in frollt of him. and walk towards the magnet.. When the Soldier arnved at the point of tibout fifteen feet from the gun. thf)-. contents of the tray deposed with a rush, and,1 lodged on and about the muzzle otf the big gun. The soldier ha.i ail he oould do to keep the tray from following the scrap iron. This test has-. staggered the possibilities of btg ele>'tro-magnets being lJ8c¿ to defend forts and earthworks from,- land attacks. A row of them of sufficielit. power would draw the smaller arms out .J! the hands of the infantry while tire advancing column was still some distance from the plaacr of attack, leaving the soldiers at the meroy the garrison of the fort-"

EIGHT HOURS BILL. STAND-OFF ATTITUDE OF THV GOVERWXENT. The Press Aseocia-tion understands thal, Mr Pickard, Sir C. Dilke, and Mr. Jacob▼ had a private interview with Sir W. Harcourt in him private room at the House of Commons on Tues- day evening on the subject of the Miners' Eight Hours Bill. There is, however, reason to believe that the Government are unable in the present condition of public business to under- take to provide special facilities for the pregreBt of the measure, the promoters of which werp unfortunate in the recent bailot for Parha, mentary dates.

AGED POOR COMMISSIOIT. A fully-attended meeting of the Royal Com- mission on the Aged Poor was haM on Tuesday afternoon. Lord Playfair presiding. The PreM Association learns that. as was pre- dicted, the Commissioners w>*re not in agreement on the matter. and some of them abstained from appending their signatures to the report, and it is poseibla titfftt there may be at least cue aunori^ report.
