A verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was returned. L

I A CANDIDATE FOR CASTLE WARD. Mr E. G. Prothere, tailor and outfitter, Goat-street, has signified his intention •! coming out again as a candidate for municipal honours in the Castle Ward, Swansea.

Mary Ann Bumpster was brought up on remand to answer a charge of assaulting Tather Jones, on August 7th, in Lower Lamb Ihn, by striking her on the head with a beer glass.—Evidence for tho prosecution had been taken at a previous hearing, and was to the effect that the prisoner had asked Esther Jonca to pay for a quart oi: beer for her, and roceiving an unfavourable reply, threw a glass at her. Tho prosecutor had I to be taken to the hospital by P.C Cross. Two witnesses for the defence now gave a. different version of the affair, stating that the prosecutrix and the prisoner were fight- ing together in tho Lower Litnib, and that it was the prisoner who refused to supply the quart of beer. The wound was explained by asserting that prosecutrix ilil against the latch of the doer.

THE SWANSEA EMPIRE. There is any amount of fun at the EJnpÜ this week, and no wonder that the house wa« crowded on Monday night. Ihe principal attraction is a sketch, Lueette's Husbands, given by the Keene and Reeves combination. The sketch deals with the marriage of a girl I named Lueette to a sailor. The latter goes to sea, and jLucette then receives an intimation that- a.Tisit is to be paid to her to ascertain if &he is happy in her married life before the sum of £1,000, whieh bad been left for her, is handed over. Alarmed for the destiny of the £1,000 owing to her husband's absenco, she prevails upon an old lover to undertake temporary duty, and then complications aiise. The real husband returns witheu- having embarked, and the wile of the substitute also appears on the scene as waid to Lady irotter. who is to see that the £1,000 is deserved. Ii The skctcii aiierds opportunity fer any amount of fun, which rager, fast and furious. The various parts are most ably sustained, and in addition there is seme clever dancing by tbe Mascotte Quartette. Arthur Coombes, well known as the singer of "Cabby knows his fare," is here with some new sons)which go down well- He made a hit with All for a woman's 2ahe," and hud a vociferous recep- tion fer his meio-dramatic contribution" The land of jv-old," dealing with the Seuth African treaMrciietds. Barrello and Millay gave a clover performance on the horizontal bar, and in addition caused much amusement by tlaeir smart burlesque of Gneco Roman wrestling. J. P. Dane sang and danced with mucii ability, and scored well with Miss De Fogi.rty's dancing class. lie was well re- ceived, and is worth a better place than the one allotted to him. MissICtty Clayton con- tributed "Tbe Great M'CUisky Fight," and Sam Dalton had a couple of amusing sengs. The Brothers McGrath kept the house in roars of laughter, and did some good business. The comnany should prove a good draw this week,

HLFCTRIONIC HORSES. RE JAEKABLE SPECTACLE AT THE NEW THEATRE, SWANSEA. I The prowled house which was faund at I the New Tieatro, Swansea, last (Monday) evening is but a forecast of the kind of audiences which the management may expect throughout tbe coming week for the entertainment provided by Professor Crocker's iierses does not tail short of being wonderful. Although this company of equineactors are to-day famous throughout the country, their performances cannot lose any interest, by repetition. Professor Crocker in addition to the I' marked skill which he must possess to have taught horses io act like men, has drawr. up a programme of evolutions and I clover devices which give the widest scope to tho display of intelligence by his auimals. He has succeeded in making what one would suppose a Mcnetcnous display, a really pleasurable entertainment in wliieh the interest is sustained to the end. Tho I whole of the 30 horses (ihey include an aSIi who acts the comedian, and who does much to wipe away the opprobium attaching to the name of his tribe; appear on the stage at once. r.ud go through a series of drills, evolutions, military mancruvres, and spec- tacular elfects, entirely of their own accord, without tbe aid of ram or bridle, passing through a number of complicated movements in the most perfect order, and without the least hitch or eoufusion. In addition to tins they perforin au act, cr ballet de action, composed specially for them iu a»anner which would not discredit I It company ot icen and woraets. Then again, there are numerous tricivS and tests performed, by what may be termed tho principals of 1 the company, which load one to aLHOLisly doubt that hordes act upon uerc instinct. The whole is inter- spersed by a continual run ot by-play and I comio incident, which almost seem by the zot with which they ars carried out to be the spontaneous conception of the animals themselves. The whole 01' the entertainment 11 is enlivened by some capital incidental music performed by the band under the eonductorship of Mr. W. Pond. The continuous and hearty applause accorded by th? audience (in every cn3e acknowledged with profound solemnity by the horsss them- selves) showed the koeniuterest and pleasure which the efforts of these novel actors aroused. Altogether the entertainment is a.s refreshing as it is covul, and will doubtless I piove ene of tho hits of the season.

í THE SWANSEA MARKET. REMOVING THE OLD BUILDING. INTERESTING CEREMONY. The first stepa towards the re-building of the new market have been taken. Passing through Oxford street this morning one could not fail to observe a marked alteration in tlis appearance of the street. Nearly the whole of the ugly board- ing on one side of the street had boon removed, leaving bare the market wall. Further cn, at the western gate a large crowd had assembled to witness the ceremony of pulling down the first stone of the old building. The spat selected for the first act of demolition was directly inside the western gate. Here, at the corner of the meat stalls, on the left hand as one enters the gate, the top bLne of the wall had been displaced. Round it was tied one end of a rope, the other end of which was coiled on the roof waiting for the destroyer to coBsmence his fell work. The ceremony itself was conducted with ail solemnity. The crowd which had collected around the doomed corner, gazed in something like sadness at the fated stone. A few dogs crept into the open space and looked mournfully at the crowd until they were promply kicked into the roadway. Even somo of the councillors looked as "though they were attending a hanging. After s. brief committee iseeting to settle seme preliminaries wLhregard to the plans the members of the Corporation, including the following, proceeded to the wes- f tern gate to pull down stone:— the mayor (Alderman W. H. Edwards), Alder- men Walter Lewis, 1\:1, Tutton, H. Martin, and A. Mason, and Councillors W. Westlake, J. Skidmore, E. J. Griffiths, W. H. Spring, Llewelyn Davies, Griff Davies, David Jones,* R. l'losser, D. Davies, Roger Thomas, Morgan Hopkin, aud W. Wearne. There were also present the contracter, Mr. Bennett, and the architect, Mr. Glendenning Moxon. These gentlemen then gathered round the spot, and Alderman Tutton delivered a very brief speech, in the course of which he referred to the history or the movement for re-builc-iiig the market and gave his views as te what advantages the ratepayers might expect to reap from the new structure. He did not want te refer too macb to the past, he said, but at any rave if he did so now it would be only be with some amount c £ pleasure. ( Hear, hear.) There were some members of the council who had been somewhat antagonistic te the market scheme, but who were as earnestly desirous of getting a good thing I done as were those who had been favourable to the scheme all along. (Hear, bear.) He thought tbe new market would only be a source of increased revenue to the I corporation, but that the improved accom- modation and attendant superior sanitary arrangements would prove of benefit. to everv- one concerned in the use of the market, both purchasers and stall holders. He congratu- lated them that the mayor ha.d come to attend the ceremony—(hear, hear)—having come I a long way to be present, and he hoped that at any future ceremony in connection with th" market the mayor would be with them and that it would afford him (tb mayor) pleasure to knew that they had all come to sea eye to eve in tha matter. (Hear, hear.) Tbe business of pulling down the stone was then proceeded with. Alderman Tutton stepped forward and was handed the end of the rope attached to the stone. He gave a vigorous pull, the stone tilted on one side, but got jammed, and refused to come further. Several councillors stopped forward to Alderman Tutton s assis- tance, including Mr. Morgan iiopkin, who looked as though be regretted the incident. The task, however, was one which even six citv fathers could not effect unaided, and it took the practised hand of a mason and the touch of an iron bar to facilitate the demo- lition. Again the alderman pulled the rope, the crowd struggled uneasily, to get tacir toes well out of the way, there was a sudden putf ot white dust, the stcne I again tilted and ieU to the ground with a thud, amid the cheers of the crowd. Then the Mayor, standing upon the fallen stone, proposed a vote of thanks to Alderman I Tutton for his attendance at the ceremony. declared that Alderman Tutton. as chair- man of the Market Committee, had worked for many years consistently and pluckily for tiievebuilding of the markot, Mv. MOKGAN HOPKIN, in a vigorous speech, seconded the motion, which was carrkd unanimously. Aldtrman TWTTON briefly repliod, Council- lor Morgan Hopkin sighed, the crowd wont in difi'ecant directions to wash away the dust, ana the ceremony ended.

SWANSEA FOOTBALL CLUB. t ANNUAL MEETING. ELECTION OF CAPTAINS. MR. BRYANT'S RESIGNATION. The meeting of the football players of the Swansea Cricket and Football Club was held last (Monday) evening at the Albert Minor Hail, Swansea, and was one of the best attended held for a long time past, and the amount of enthusiasm displayed augurs well for a successful season. Mr. J. Livingston pre- sided, and he was surrounded on the platform bv the secretary, Mr. Bryant, and a eoupie ol vice-presidents, Messrs, W- H. Gwynn and C. H. Perkins. THE FIXTUKE LIST, After the formal business of reading and adopting the minutes of the last meeting had been got over, 111', Bryant stood up to read the fixture list for the forthcoming season. This intimation is always the first received by the rank-and-file of the members of the good things in store during the winter months, and it is, naturally, cageriv looked forward to. But, Bomehow or other, everyone seemed subdued last evening. Perhaps it was the thought that Mr, Bryant was reading that list for the last time! He began by referring in graceful and tender terms to the sad occurrences, the melancholy suc- cession of events in the shape of accidents, tha.t last year tbrew a .>5100111 over football in Swansea. There were the accidents to Bancroft and Charlio Tanner, and last, aud saddest of all, that to poor Dick Burrows. So far as Ihe results of the matches went, said Mr. Bryant, the results of last jear were more satisfactory than in 1892-3, and the defeats sustained last year were all by very narrow margins. He hoped that this year these narrow margins of defeat would be converted into victories. Proceeding to read the list, the secretary pointed to the tact that there were two trips to Manchester and one to Devonshire, and that among the new clubs to be met at St. Helen's were Morecambe and Jedburgh, the latter one of the finest teams iu Scotland. The ether English teams to be were their old friends Swinton and Oldham, and Dcvonport Albion and Merchant Taylors. The fixture list was a heavy one. and no thought that if they went through them creditably it would show that each player had done his duty. (Cheers.) ELECTION OF CAPTAINS!. On the motion of Mr, E. THOROGOOD, seconded by Ah-. S. HJC", it was unanimously resolved that Mr. A. M. Jenkin be appointed captain for tho ensuing year. In response to load calls for a speech, Mr. JFNIUN said that ho trusted that thoroueh good feeling would exist between the mem- bers of the team—(hear, hear)—because ill- foeling between the members was always detrimental to the best interests of a team. If they wanted to be successful they must pull all together, and train hard and regularly, ler they had a very heavy fixture list, in concluding the newiy-eiected captain heartily thanked tho members for the honour they had done him. On the motion of Mr. SMITH, seconded by Mr. F. GoKroJf, it was resolved that Mr. J, Prescott be vice-captsin for the ensuing year. On tllo motiou of Mr. S. SOLOMON, seconded by Mr. JoN-N f MOBGAJS, Mr. Gil. Evans was elected captain of the second team, while Mr J. Williams was elected vice-eaptain. For the reserve team Mr B, Perkins was. on the motion oT Mr H. B, LETCHIK, ap- pointed captain. ELKOTION OF COMMITTEE. On the football committee Messrs S. Rice and W. J. Bancroft (playing members), aud Messrs George Bowen, W. Bowen, W. H. Gwynii, J. Livingston, and E. Thorogood (non-playing members) were elected, Mr Thorogood having taken the place of Mr E. Copus, THANKS T. LAST YEAR'S CAPTAINS, Mr. FAItR, in a brief but graceful speech moved a hearty vote of thanks t. last year's skipper (Mr. E. Thorogood), and in so deing bore high testimony to his sportmanl iUe con- duet, in standing down when he thought it for the good of the team that ho should do so. (Hoar, hear.) W. Shepherd seconded and the motion was carried with acclamation, and j Theregoou briefly returned thanks. Votes of thanks were also passed to the captain of the seconds Mr. It. Oldham and Mr. J3. Perkins. MR. BRYANT'S DEPARTURE. Then came the patnos. The chairman spoke earnestly and weightily when he roso to refer to the forthcoming departure of Mr. Bryant from Swans-ea. Ho moved "that this meeiing of the members of the Swansea Cricket and Football Club tenders its best thanks to Mr. Bryant for the faithful services he has rendered to this club and to football and cricket in South Wales, and at the same time desires to lender its best wishes for his future welfare." The Swansea Club, said the speaker, was shortly to .sustain a severe loss, aud Mr. Bryant s place would be hard to fill. Not nly tbe'club, but athletics all over South Wales would suffer by the departure of their riend and secretary, Mr. Bryant. He (the speaker) hoped that wouid not be the lust >ccasion on wfiich they would be able to ixpreos their thanks to him, and he hoped it svould be done in a more tangible form. Hear, hear.) Then followed Mr. C. li. PIREINS, who jaid ke stood up with vary mingled feelings— regret at losing Mr. Bryant, aud pleasure te think that he was going to occupy a very im- portant position. (Hear, hear.) He had always felt a deep regard fer their good friend and esteemed secretary. For years past he had been tne life and sou! of tbe club, and he felt that they could Dot in words adequately express their sense of gratitude and indebtedness to him. Mr. H. B. LETCHEH, &s captain of the cricket team, boro testimony to Mr. Bryant s demeanour on all occasions and to the splendid hard work he had done for the club. Mr. H. J- MORRIS followed iu the sallJc strain. I In putting th3 veto to the u-oeting the CHAIRMAN said: "Now, gentlemen, thi«; is no ordvnarv vote, please; let us give it with acclamation." After a long round of applause the members present rcse to their feet and I broke forth with the strains of li He's a jolly good fellow." which was sungloud and lustily. As the cheers died away the Chairman turned to Mr. Bryant and said: "I have much pleasure in conveying to you from the bottom of our hearts our gratitude for the services vou have during the time ot your secretary- ship rendered to the Swansea Cricket and Football Club," As thfe cheers that greeted the chairman's -.vords subsided, Mr BRYANT rose. gratified yet half overcome with the warmth and cor- diality of his reception. He was, he said il' lv, net Kuich of a speaker at the best of li;. -JS, but on the present occasion words .(Ui. > failed hi:r, He had simply tried to do his lty as secretary. The uutics had often been rduuus and Irving, but he had always endc; oured to behave in a courteous and I gentle, anIv manner to all the members, &1 tie had tund, as was, he believed, the caie in nineteen out of twenty eases, that the same feeling w s returned towards him. (Hear, hear.) It vas obvious that m a club like theirs a. secretary was not always able to please cv crybsdy, but lib lelt sure of Luis that they would each i;ve him crcu.i for iioin;j what ho believed was for the best. (Cheers.) He had. ho iaid, before coming to that meeting, took the trouble to look mlo some of his old papers connected with the club, and he found tU.vt when iie first took the aeevetarvship in 18b2, the tc-tai receipts for the season were but t5G, including members' subscriptions In ;hose do>.

(Hear, lear.) Referring te his approaching ieparturc, Mr. Lryant said that lie ihould always feci a deep and keen nterest in the Swans, t Orb. lie would take good care to have the l-wa.-i-caovening news- papers aud the Athletic Xctis regularly so he might be able to ;no\<-exactly how the ciub was going on. (Hour, hear}. After again thanking the u.ec 1: ig i«r all the kind remarks mat bad been nwJo a'i. out hUll and the good wishes of he was the recipient, tbe speaker movtd a veto of thanks to the Swansea, doctors, eripjeJ with the name oi Dr. Hopkins, for 4P the kind help that they had given gratuitously when aec-i- dents had occurred at the Svsusea Football Ground, This was seconded by Air.

THE COMING SEASON. ALL LAST YEAR'S MEN AVAIL- ABLE. A NEW HALF BACK IN THE TOWN. [BY FRES LANC *] With the meeting of the Swansea Football Club last evening the football season of 1895-6 may be considered to have begun. Last night the captains were appointed and the list of fixtures announced. Now we know where we stand. "We have," to quota the words of the newly-eltctcd captain, "a heavy fixture list," the question, therefore, for discussion now is what men shall we have available to do battle for the "all whites." All previous surmises as to the probable compoait;on of the team must of necessity have been to a great extent speculative. For some days past in- formation has been iu my posses- sion relative more particularly to the composition of the rear division of the All White team. which I have previously thought it wiser to withhold. But now we can sniff the scent of coming battle frem afar, po lon!- and I can reiii-tin sileit ,er. It lia, been stated "gain and again that we shall be in a bad way JD Swansea this season so far as our rear division is concerned. Unless I am much mistaken, we shall be stronger than last season, and what a fine defensive game we eould play then many of our opponents dis- covered to their cobt. BACK. So far, of course, as back is concerned, we have nought to fear, Bancroft is with us still, and we have, if ilnel be. an able substi- tute in Jenkins, the old Danygraig JURa, who did good service last year after Bancrofts injarv at Newport. THEEEQUARIEU. The rerr quartette was expected t3 Its our weakness this season. It had be-.i. slated that the Crockera and Bob Messer were unwilling to play. Humbug: Bjb Messer told me a few days sinoe that he intends to play. Gordeu is eager and ready for the fray, and will occupy his old position on the right, while in the centre we have three or four good men available. I am able to-day to state definitely that both the Crockera Will be available, and that Chegwidden is also willing to ugain don the all white jarsev. Chegwiddcn has broadened out greatly since last year, and should this sea.son prove a tower of strength in the centre. In u.tse of emer- geticy we b.?ive Ted There- ,oo(i, old s,oortsr.ian that le is ias kiig-iified his ,tvillin.-uop,s to play if called upon. HALF-HACK, At half-back we shall miss lively Tim Blaekmore, who, for reasons stated bv me some days since, will not play this season. Jack Prescott, who has just bceu elected vice-captain, will be seen in his eld position behind the scrum, and be will very probably be partnered bv a new comer to the town within the past few weeks, I refer to James, who a coupio of seasons ago played a- wing three-quarter for Aberavon, and while there was the shining light of their rear quartette. But James's, real position is at half-bact;, and it is there that I shall expect to sco him. James has been in London during the past year or so, but is now I hear, in the employ of the Swansea Harbour Truat. THE PACK. ^i^- As regards forwards wa need fear no foe, our two Internationals, A, [ M. Jenkin, Jackson, R. S. Jenkin, Bob Thomas, Dick Oldham, J. Williams, Smith, Grey, and Sam Rice will r.li be available, and possibly also B. Livingston, though I hear tilat ttio -i linee is liarkily I'Liclv to allo%v iiil,l lo plav iii t,ae first few nii-telles. Tlien. too, we have one or two new forwards i recontly come into the town, one of whom is Walsh, the old Cardiff Harlequins' scrim- mager. — II I II I Wl.lll ,M,,|Wi_JLJ|

He was taken to the Swansea Hospital, but was not detained. On Monday, as Dr. Latimer and his groom were driving in Oxford-street, the horse became restless and eventually bolted, not, however, before Dr. Latimer and his groom had both been able to jump out ef the trap.

Williams, on behalf of his fellow-workmen, with a Gladstone bag and a meerschaum pipe; and was also the recipient of a silver cigarette case, presented Lo him by Miss ;I&ggie Hopkins. Addresses of a complimentary nature were given, and a musical programme gone through, A Cardiff newspaper to-day aavs:-A- contemporary which alleges tbat Swansea is the birthplace of the new Welsh baritone, Mr Meurig James, has evidently been inisin- formed. Mr James is a native of Llangadock, Carmarthenshire. He received his education at Gwynfe Board Sehool, under Mr Beriah Evans. For some time he was articled to bis cousin, Mr T. W. James, solicitor, Swausea,. but displaying remarkabic musical ability, and carrying oil the solo prize at Swausea National Eisteddfod, he gave up the law for music, and having completed a course at Milan, is now fast making a reputation. A boy named William Ivor Benjamin, aged I nine years, of 4, Field-street, was to, the Swansea Hespital this (Tuesday) morn-J ing, he having sustaineda compound fracture of the leg. 'ihe lad was playing with some or his companions on the canal bank- at Lan- dore, and as a small steamer was passing up I the canal towing a line of coal barges, Benjamin jumped on one. lie had not, how- ever, obtained a firm hold, and lay with one leg overhanging the side, with the result that it was jammed between the boat and the bank. P.S. Parry came on the scene, and after temporally bandging the injured leg, bad the boy con- vey to the Hospital in an ambulance. The iloetors say the fracture is a serious one, and I 'c&rs are entertained as te the lad's recovery. ]
