On Saturday afternoon a woman named Annie Price, aged34 years, wife of R.cia Price, 5, Kill-street, made a rash attempt upon her life by hanging herself to the raters iu an outhouse at tbc rear of her house. Mary.Jane Morgans, a woman lining m the same house, found her suspended, and promptly cut her down; just, succeeding in irustrating her attempt upon her lue. The police report states that Annie Price attempt en her life was made with a towel, which she had Lied around her neck and to a rafter iu an outhouse. She was iirst found hanging by Mary Jane Morgan, who called her husband, Price, who at once cut her down. Dr. Anderson was quick Cil in and attended her at once. n meantime P.C. 83 had been summoned, but the doctor stated that the would-be suicide was in no fit state to be removed, as she was very ill indeed. At 10.15 a.m. yesteroav (bun- dav) morning Dr. Anderson saw the worn a^aiti, and said that she might be removed P.C. Smith then arrested the woman, and took her to High-street, where he cmirged her with attempLing to commit suicide. THE CULPRIT IN CUSTODY. BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. Annie Price, a married woman, living at 5, Hill-street, was charged at the Swansea Police-court this (Monday) morning, with having attempted to end her life by hanging herself from a ratter in the outhouse of her house withatewet, on Saturday last. Mary Jane Morgan, also of 5, Bill-street, a married woman, sistei-in-i«. •/ of the prisoner, first gave evidence. She stated that between 3.30 snd 5 o c oc on Saturday afternoon, mining her sister-in- law, sho went to look for her. She round her in the place mentioned, hanging. In her fright she did not notice in what way her sister in lo.w as suspended but rushed into the house and called her brother, defendant's husband. Wuness atated that she remembered nolhing alter that. Prisoner had never shown to vwtness any inclination to take her own life. Witnesa had left her in the house at about 2.30 that afternoon apparently in her usual health and spirits. j. j P.C. West (85^ deposed to being called to tho prisoner's house and unding prisoner inside the house. She was too ill to be arrested, so the police-eoKstabla remained with her until about six o eiock on Sunday Blaming, when he conducted her to the police- station. Here ho charged her witii atterapt- in" to commit suicide, but she made »o reply. Witness produced the towel, and stated that the woman had evidently tied herself up by standing on the seat. Dr. C. B. Anderson gllove evidence to naving been called to prisoner's houso some time after four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Uo found the woman iving on a sofa in the house quite unconcious, in which state she regained until aboot eight o'clock. lie gave her the necessary remedies. She bore A mark en the side of her neck when he examined her. Prisoner, when formally charged and asked whether she had anything to say, replied, ¡¡ No, thank you, sir." She was thereupon committed to take her trial at the next quarter sessions at Swansea, bail being refused.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A GARDEN, PAINFUL AFFAIR AT SWANSEA. FURTHER HEARING AT THE POLtCECOURT. Marv Streat, married woman, living at 6, Grovc-s-rcct, Swansea, who attempted to commit suicide by hanging herself to a Una post in her back garden, late on Friday night, was brought up in custody on remand at the Swansea Police-court this (Monday) morn- in", before the Stipendiary (Mr. J. Coko Fowler), Col. J'ike, and Mr. Simon Goldberg. Cornelius Harrington, dock labourer, living at 9, Grove-street, gave evidence to the effect that at half-past eleven on Friday night he was in the garden at the back of his house, when he neticed prisoner standing on the ground by the post without, so far as he could see, any rope being around her neck. W hen he heard a littlo while afterwards, Michael Conroy and dofondant'a husband calling out he rushed to the place and found the „ hnr.iii" as described by the defendant flaii^nio witnesses on Saturday. He ran back to his house for a knife with which he cut the woman down—Questioned by the clerk, Mr. Jenkin Jones, as to how sho mounted to lis the rope at the top of the post witness stated that there were some stones close by upon which s.io might have stood. The rope was twisted around her neck two or the times. Prisoner at this point remarked that her feet were not off tho ground, but touching it. Dr. Howell Thomas, prison surgeon gtated that he ordered the fHsoner Ie bo placed in association with others at the prison, and from what he had seon of her conduct ho was not justified in thinking that sho was of un- sound mind. The Stipendiarv remarked that the prisoner would be further romaudei till Thursday for further observations.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT SWANSEA DOCKS. LOGAN EXPIRES AT THE HOSPITAL, The accident to the man Gustin Lo^an, wbich WAS reported in our columns ou Friday, has unhappily terminated IN his death which took place at the Swansea Hospital on Saturdav afternoon. It will be remembered that the unfortunate man was engaged in dis- charging iron ore from the s.s. Carinna on Friday at the East Dock, his duty being to receive the basket when it arrived from the hold. In reaching over from the platform to grasp a basket, he missed his grip and fell into the hold of tho steamer, a distance of abont 25ft. He was picked up unconscious, and upon subsequent exami- nation being made it was found that he had fractured his aim and damaged his laati.d seriousiy, and from the first only a fcebie hope was held out of his recovery. In spite of tha unremitting care and attention of Dr. Floyd, the house surgeon, the unfortunate man never rallied, and at four o clock on Saturday afternoon passed quietly away. The tragic nature of the eceurrenco is intensi- fied by the fact that Logan was in the prime ef manhood, being only 30 years of AGE. He was a single man, and Ii vod at Haptlst Well-street, Swansea. Mr, Coroner Strick will hold an inquest at the hospital this (Monday) afternoon.

ARTILLERY INSPECTION AT BRITON FERRY.

Tho men fell in at the Briton Ferrv Armoury, and headed by their brass band marched through tho town under the command of Captain Gardner to a field at Bagian, where they were put THROUGH parade movements by Adjutant-captain Jjogae. The inspecting officer, Colonel Allen, R.A., commanding M and V Western District, accompanied by Colonel Sir E. S- Hill, T\.G.B., M.P. shortly afterwards arrived on the field, and were received with a general salute. After the inspecting officer ha.d minutolv examined the accoutrements, &c.

POVERTY AND CRIME. ALLEGED PICKPOCKETTING BY A SWANSEA CHILD. SENT OUT TO SELL MATCHES, A MOTHERLESS BAIRN. At the Swansea Police-court to day (Mon- day)-before the stipendiary (Mr. J. Coke Fowler;, Colonel Pike, and Mr. Simon Go!dberj—a child or nir.c years of age, named Sarah Jane Williams, living at Cwmbwrla, was charged with at- tempting to pick pockets at Swansea market, on Saturday morning last.—Detec- tive Griffiths stated that he noticed the child put her band in the pockets of three women during the course of half an hour. The girl failed to steal anything, however, as her action was noticed by the persons whom she attempted to rob. V. itness followed her for A. time and eventually arrested her. The girl's father, who was in court, stated that he had been out of work for some time, and had been sending out his daughter to sell matches. Her mother was dead, and witness had married the second time.-The Stipendiarv instructed the father to take his child home, and intimated that in the mean- time the magistrates would consider what was best to be done with her. I

TRK TIN PLATE TRADE. DYFFRYN WORKS. The steel-smelters of these works mot the Mavor of Swansea at his residence late on Friday night, and a. settlement was arrived at on tho terms of the Steel Smelters' Asso- ciation—namely, a 10 per cent. reduction. It is hoped tha.t other works in the vicinity will emulate the Dyffryn example. THE POSITION AT LLANFLLY. ABOUT 2,000 MEN IDLE. I The struggle for the list," as it has come to be described, was said to bo practically over a. menth ago, but, unfortunately, t<.S far as Llanelly is concerned, it is still being waged, without any prospect of an early ter- mination. When the Tin-plate Union officials formulated the demand lor the restoration of the old wage-rate it was taken up, as a matter of course, most enthusiastically by matter of course, most enthusiastically by the men. It was, therefore, decided 10 make a bold bid for the 1874 list. The move was attended with no little success from its very inception. First of all, Sir John Jones Jen- kins gave it his blessing, and, what was" more to the point, he showed his feelings by FIT once granting the demands of the naon at Cwmfelin and paying the full list. Mr. William Williams, "the king of the tin-plate trade," followed suit, and reports camie in daily of works which had conceded the lists. The resuit to-day it? that out ef the 340 mills working under concessions ten months ago, no fewer than 230 are now paying the list of 1874. Of the 60 mills where the list has not been granted no fewer than 40 arc I at Llanelly, and the question is bejn;t asked, Why are the Llaaeliv masters unable, as they profess, to pay the list?'" This query- was verv pertinently put at the tin-platers' council on Saturday last at Llanelly, and one of the speakers said that ttnly two conclu- flions were open to theai — either the machinery at the Llanelly works must be defective, or the management must he bad, and it was full time that both should be "modernised." I [PUT a question A day or two ago to a well-known Llanelly manufacturer on this paint. HIS reuly was, "I do not know how these other works are raising the list, because I do not know the circumstances under which! tnev are working to-day, while we in Llanelly tare "shutdown.' However, I am perfectly sure of this, that they are not making a protj t. Of course, tuero may be circum- stances operating in these places which are not present here in Llanelly. JT is quite pos- sible that these masters cannot afford to close their works. They have certain orders in hand which must be exeeutcd, and it would pav them to grant the demands OF the men rather than cease operations with the orders unfinished, and with possible claims fer nen-fuliilment of contract staring them in the face. But what I want to know is, whore is the great improvement in the trade which is made out in justification of the action of the meu in demanding the restora- TI 'N of the list. We are now told by the ofhcials of the Union that a revival has set in, that. prices Have gone up very materially, and that better times arc dawning. VV ell, all I have to say is that 1 have not Grocn thai. revival, for the position of the market to-day is as bsd as it was a month H<-O. Prices nave gone back very much, as everyone knows, and thev are ttihback. Atter this decisive statement I ventured to ask my informant whether there was any prospect oi: an early settlement. Here, a^aiu, the r?ply was emphatic. He J-.aid that a settlement was as far off as e\er, and that there was absolutely nothing doinf: on the men's or the master's side to bring the struggle to an issue. How serious the posi- tion HAJ now become will be apparent when it is remembered that at the Old Castle, the Old Lod^c, and the Western Works opera- tionij have now been suspended for close upon two months. About 2,000 men are thus out of CL ptoyment. The case of the Morfa men is similar, but worse. They have not done a day's work this year, and even when they were worKiag it was enly spasmodically. A large number of them have left the town Lo find homes in the United States ar.dother less remote places. But the great body of the men remain, and aro suffering a daily martyr- dom. It had been arranged that a monster demonstration of the tin-plate operatives of Llanellv should proceed to Dafen on Saturday morning as a protest against the men at thitt works continuing to still further extend the reduction agreement Upon the Llanelly men meeting on Satur- dav morning, however, it was found that the Dafen Works would be idle that day, and that it would be useless to bring the demon- j stration off at that juncture. Tho demon- j stration was therefore adjourned until Wed. nesdav. IN conversation with a leader of the men, a reporter was assured that the Dafen firm would return to the 3874 list as soon the Llanelly masters led tha way. Should this prove to be correct, it is i^probablo that the Dafen workmen will be ceHed out to join the strike. THE LANDORE AN7) FOXHOLE SETTLEMENTS. HOSTILE FSELING. A Morriston correspondent writes:—Con- siderable feeling exists a nong the workmen of tho various works Bcw working on the 1874 list here at the action of the men at Landore and Foxhole in agreeng to a 12ž- per cen:. reduction. In the ftea of the gallant fight which is being pvrsued by tho Llanellv worktucn, they co<>ond that this is most dep!orable, and I;>ny are for holding A demonstration andpublic meeting to protest.

Professor Crocker, who is at the New Theatra this week, paraded his 30 educated horses through the principal streets of Swansea to-dav, and general admiration was expressed Sat the splendid condition of the animalr, The secretary of the Swansea Hospital begs leave with many thanks to acknowledge the receipt oi F-5 6 most kindly contributed by workmen in the employ of the Viiliers' Tin- plate Company; also £ 2 13s from same work- men towards the Eye Hospital. The Swansea carpenters and joiners now on strike hold a public meeting at the Work- ing Men's Club on Thursday evening at half- past seven. It is stated that Mr. Isaac Evans, tho miners' agent, will preside, and members of the masons, plasterers, plumbers, painters, and butters' labourers societies, are aU invited to attend. The fourth annual show of the Clydach Horticultural Cottage Garden and Dairy Society will be held on Thursday at tile Cricket Field, Clvdach. Prizes are offered for horses and cattle, and, in addition, several new features have been introduced, such A3 juvenile choir competitions, Sunlight Soap washing competitions, working model ENGINES, musical clowns, dances, etc. I On Saturday a child named Gladys Thomas, eight years of age, of 15, James-street, was knocked down in Singleton-street by a horse and trap driven by Edward French. She was picked up and taken to the Hospital, where it was found that no bones were broken, and that she was n-.crely suffering from shock. The child was subsequently removed to her I home, .No blame was attached to the driver. Shortly before five o'clock on Saturday afternoon a horse attached to a cart con- taining milk and cans, the property of Thomas Gwvther, Carniartben-road, was standing opposite High-street ponce-station, when the animal took fright and ran up High-street, being eventually pulled up in Prince of Wales-road.

TWENTY-FOUR MEDICINE BOTTLES. A REMARKABLE STORY. The facts surrounuinji the following case are widely known, and the Nottingham Daily Express rpporter who investigated them, went to Mrs Ann Tyler, a well-known and respected resident of Searrington, Notts., and obtr.ined information which can be therougluy relied upon. This sienial and intelligent lady eani :—" It is four years since we first noticed how ill MV daughter, Elizabeth Ann, began to look. She was then twenty, and although she had not ailed up till then she had to leave her situa- tion aud come home. She was as white as death, and used to lc#K like a ghesi geing about. "Of c irse, we took her to the doctor, and he said Ie was suffering from anaemia, bhe had four-and-twenty bottles of medicine frem him. She'it go into a consumption if she's not seen to,' the doctor 88id." added Mrs. Tyler. Her I breathing was new very bad, and she coughed a. good deal in the mornings. One day, about February last, 1 saw an account of a miracu- lous cure at Carlbv. near Lincoln. It is stated tnat a woman who was at one time waiting I for den,tii war, ablo, thanks to a new discovery, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, to go about again in as good health as ever. and even to do her household work. "I sent off to London for a box at once,' continued Mrs. Tyler, "and before she had tatcen one box my daughter said 'I'm sure I feel better, mother,' 1 advised her to get some mere and stick to them, but when she had had three boxes she was not like the same girl. She had got quite a new colour, and is now quite well. Sue lias no cough, and no difficulty with her braathing. Of course we toid people what had cured her, and now several of the neighbours are taking the Pills. A voung girl at. Asiockton is also taking them, and they are doing her a lot of good.' The above are the proved and personally corroborated facts of what is certainly a most marvellous cure. Dr. WILLIAMS Pink Pills cure rheumatism, ^jeuralgia, locomotor ataxy, S4 Vitus' dance, nervous headache, and prostration diseases of tho blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysi- pelas, & c.. restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health, aro a specfic for all the troubles peculiar to the female sex, and in men cure all eases arising from worry, over- work, or excesses. They are sold by all chemists, and by Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, 46, riolborn-viaduct London, at 2s. 9d. per box or six fer 13S. 9d., in wooden boxes with PINK wrapper senuine only with full name lh.
