A SECOND LEFKOY. I DASTARDLY ATTACK OX A YOUNG WOMAN. ARREST OF THK CULPRIT. On the arrival of the up turn from Brigh- ¡ ton at Three Bridges at 12.20 ou Thurs- day afternoon, a young woman, who appeared considerably knocked about, reported to tha railwav officials that she had been assaulted by a man, after leaving Baleombe (Station. Site defended herself as well as she could, and ultimately the man jumped from the traiu. j The young woman was placed in charge of an official, and taken on to London to Guy's Hospital, where she is still detained suffering from two broken ribs, and extensive bruises about the body. Search was then made for the man, and traces were found which showed that he had jumped from the train near a. wood, through which he walked into the small town of Crawley. There the scent became strong. He was traced to the shop of a. tradesman, where he purchased a cap, and told a thrilling story of how he had been thrown from a train near Larlswood. From the shop he went to a coffee-house, where he related a sirmlar tale. I he pro- prietor of the coffee-house took the prietor of the coffee-house took the fellow to the railway station, win re he was immediately arrested on suspicion ,.1 being the man wanted for assaulting the- young woman. He was taken to the police I lock-up. The man's name is Alfred Docke, and he comes from New Chapel, near East Grinstead. The young woma.n was a lady's maid in the service of Lady Taylor, at Hove, and she was on her way to London ett route to Suffolk. PRISONER BKFORE THE MAGIS- TRATES. An East Grinstead correspondent telegraphs that the young man alleged t.o be author of the, outrage on Miss Louisa Clarke, was brought from Crawley, where he was arrested on Thurs- day night to East Grinstead this (Fridav) morning and charged by Superintendent R*di with the attempted murder of that young lady, who now hes at Guy's Hospital. The prisoner gave his name as Alfred Locke, and described himself as a gardener at New Chapel, about three miles from Grinstead. He is only 18 years of age. is of moderate height and is not thickly built. He was wearing a di-rk jacket and waistcoat, and had been supplied with a constable's trousers, his own having been taken oil' to be produced in evidence, his forehead is considerably scratched, and he appears to have been slightly lamed by jumping from t.i > tram. Beyond this there seems no other in- tram. Beyond this there seems no other in- jury. To "the police he gave a total denial of I the charge. INTERVIEW WITH MISS CLARKE. A press correspondent who had an interview with Miss Clarke iu Guy's Hospital obtained the following account of the struggle in the Brighton train. She stated that, she first saw the man at Burgess Hill, where lie was walking up and down the platform looking iuto the carriages. Just as the train was about to start lie jumped into the carriage in which Miss Clarke was seated alone. She did not like the look of him at all. Soon after the train left the station the man crossed the carriage to where Miss Clarke was sitting, and suddenly gu-ried her throat with both hands and tried to throttle her. She struggled with him, and although she thinks she fought with unnatural strength for some minutes, he hit her so hard that she fell exhausted on the floor of the that she fell exhausted on the floor of the carriage. The man then placed a rope round her neck, but Miss Clarke placed her hands between the cord and her neck and thus pre- vented him pulling it too tight. He after- wards seized her hair and banged her forehead violently against the floor. She begged him not to kill her as she was going to see her father and mother who were very ill in London, and on being asked why he attacked her he replied Money, money." All this time they were struggling, during which she had had some of her leetn knocked out, but ultimately the man went to the carriage window as Miss Clarke thought, to look out, and she sprang up and touched the communicator. When lie saw that the man opened the door and got out and clambered along the footboard. A gentleman in another carriage saw the man pass along the footboard. Miss Clarke, although weak. showed wonderful cheerfulness and courage. "<1

ST. FAGAN'S MYSTERY. POLICE BAFFLED AT ALL POINTS. Six davs have now elapsed since the murder of David Thomas, and up to this (Friday) morning there is absolutely no direct evidence in possession of the police against the pe;pe- trator of the dastardly crime. Beyond a doubt the Faii-water tragedy will rank with memor- able murders. In point of deliberation in its conduct, tlie cowardliness in shooting the un- fortunate man twice through the back, and in the apparently impenetrable mystery which shrouds the miscreant, this foul deed has sel_ dom been eclipsed. Of the multiplicity of theories which Jiave been aavanced most liat e been proved by the police to fail as inconsis- tent, on minute inquiry, with the mass of indirect evidence they have collected.

FENCING OF THE MUMBLES RAILWAY. CONSIDERATION BY COUNTY COUN- CIL COMMITTEE. At a meeting of 'he Roads and Bridges Committee of the Glamorgan County Council. held on Thursday, a. communication from the Board of Trade respecting the fencing of the Mumbles Railway was considered. The com- munication had been sent to the County Council owing to an accident which had re- cently occurred Oil. the railway-which was not the first that occurred there -through, it was seated, the railway not being fenced in. In 1894 Major Hutchinson had been sent down to inspect the line, and he had sent in a report stating that the railway could he fenced in, and recommended that it should he done. The more recent accident took place within the district of the borough of Swan- sea, but if fenced the fencing must be con- tinued by the County Council. Ihe County I' Purveyor stated that the matter of fencing the railway would require very serious consider a- tion, or the danger instead of being lessened t would be increased. It was stated that the distance required to be fenced woud be about two and three-quarter miles, along which would have to be placed 56 gates, and Ulat 22 gates would have to be placed within a dis- tance of 645 yards, and the opening and shutting of these gates would be a very con- siderable delay to the trains, and it was doubted if the safety of the public would De increased thereby. The question of the .ia- 1 bility of the council for the fencing of the line was discussed for some time, and even- tually left in the hands of the clerk to reply to the communication from tlie Local Government Board,

THE PROSECUTION OF FOXHOLE TIN PLATERS WORKMEN'S EXPLANATION OF THEIR ACTION. A press representative, who went among the men, against whom summons were issued on Wednesday for alleged breach of contract in leaving their employ at the Foxhole lin-plate Works, writes that it was made very plain that the application fur summonses had pio- duced consternation among them—the more so, possibly, as not long ago tlie company had obtained £ 4 5s. damages for breach of contract. The men now contend that they have com- mitted no breach of contract, and explain that on March 4th they signed a contract to work for four months at a reduction of 25 per cent. They contend, therefore, that they were re- lieved of this contract on the 4th of July. They say that, failing to effect a new arrangement, they in the hope of doing so work on from day to day that, in order to make loss impossible, intimated that they wouid cease working on the 25 per cent, reduction on Saturday last, and contend that at this time they were under j no contract. Mr. Trevor Richards, the inana-1 ger, on being seen, declared that the men were bound to work the full four months; and inas-I much as the anncalers and tinhouse men only started long lifter the millmen, the term of the contract is not up until July 24th. u.

REPRESENTATION OF SWANSEA. RADICALS NTILL TOUTING FOR A CANDIDATE POLITICIAN HOLDING HIGH HANK" MENTIONED. According to the "Cambrian," the Swansea Radicals are still in a, maze of difficulty in their attempts to secure a "suitable' candidate to lead the forlorn hope of wresting the reo presentation of the constituency from the Con- j servative party. Here is what our contein porary says :—It is understood that a gentle- man holding high rank in the late Ministry has been seiui-otiicially approached with a view of his becoming a candidate for Swansea, but no definite reply has yet been received. In the present state of negotiations we are not at liberty to divulge the gentleman's name, but we can promise our readers a surprise when his identity becomes known to them and he consents to stand. Should he do so. the party will have undoubtedly a very strong candidate —a man of acknowledged ability, of conside- rable wealth, and of high sociai position. Ihe general election is likely to be far ofi, aud a man occupying the position we have described may not unnaturally prefer to keep himself ready to accept the first available chance, by way of bye-election, of re-entering Parliament. Should, however, the negotiations now in pro- gress result iJ, this gentleman's signifying his willingness to accept the candidature, the Libeials of Swansea will have to Ixs congratu- lated on securing so competent an exponent of Lheir principles, and as a whole, also, Swansea might well feel honoured." j

Cardiff figures seventeenth in the list, with a death- rate of 18-9.

SWANSEA COUNCIL AND THE POLICE OUTING. I SENSIBLE ACTION OF THE MAYOR. It will be remembered that at the recent., meeting of the Swansea County Council some of the members, Alderman Harris and Coun- cillor Skidmore especially, expressed their strong disapprobation at the members of the police force arranging and fixing a date their annual outing without consulting the. Watch Committee. It was suggested that- the picnic should not be allowed to take place until the Watch Committee had had an oppor- tunity of discussing the matter. The Mayor, however, intimated that he considered it was a matter in which he could use his pre- rogative, and allow the event to take place even though there would be no meeting of the committee until after the date referriu to. When the Swansea police met on parade this (Friday) morning a communication was made to the effect that the outing could take place according to the arrangements the men I had themselves already made. This grace- ful action of his worship has greatly pleased the members of the force.

THE WATER SUPPLY AT WAUNAKLWYDD. RATEPAYERS COMPLAIN. "Dwr Gian" (Waunarlwydd) writes: There is an old saying which is being well verified at the above place these days. "We do not know the worth of water until the well is dry." But the worst of it is the Waunarlwydd reservoir is nut dry, and yet the people have no water, at least, the people of •Waunarlwydd. People at Ystrad-road, a mile and a half away. receive the benefits of that pure fountain, but the people for whom it was first, made are left without, a drop throughout the day. but have to go—men, women, and children, a regular army—over hedge and ditch and moor to find water. The people of the village are asking where is there water. They can have no objec- tion V) share their supply with other places, but to be left without a drop is more than flesh and blood can bear, is there no way te regu- late the supply for the benefit- of the greater [lumber?

LLANELLY HARBOUR BILL. MOTION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. SPEECHES BY MR ABEL THOMAS MR D. RANDELL, AND SIR J. J. JENKINS. In the House of Commons on Tharsday, on the consideration of the Llanelly Harbour Biil, as amended, Mr Abel Thomas, Q.C, moved, "That the Bill be re- committed to the former committee with reference to Clause 74." He felt that ibe Bill in its present form was a serious njuBtiee to a large number of traders at Burry Port. The object ot the commis- sioners was to improve the port of Llanelly without doing anything for Burry Port. There were 125,000 tons dealt with aneaaity at Burry Pert. and the traders would I have to pay £11200 a year for improving Llanelly Harbour. Tne eiaoiie that was objected te had bean inserted since the Bill came down from the House of Lords. He felt that such au injustice was being done to Burry Port that if it were brought homo to the minds of the people in Llanelly they would be the first to say that I they din net want to get an improvement to their harbour at the expense ef a neighbouring aud similar port.—Mr Lloyd Morgan seconded. —Mr. Itandell In., Glamorgan, Gower) op- posed the motion. The Burry Port traders pretended to be taken by surprise in regard to the propped rates on goods. Berry Port traders would suffer no injury whatever, but woutct benefit. it was admitted by the opponents of tiie Bill that the works proposed to be constructed would improve the I entranee Ie their harbour; that would I directly beufit the traders of Burry Port,— Sir J. Jenkins nj., Carmarthen Bereughg) eeuld not believe that everyone interested did not have means of becoming acquainted w.tb the proposals of tbe Bill. Ho nad no doubt that the Burry Port traders woula appreciate the advantage which their trade wuuld derive from tb. under- taking of the Llanelly commissioners. It was the intention of the commissioners to deepen the entrance, and, more than that, they had been to great expense in the past in keeping the estuary free and main- taming the depth o* water for the Burry Port as weii as the Llanelly trade. Within a few years the Llanelly commissioners had spent a sum of £20,000 at different times on thia object, and he bad always felt that these who landed or loaded goods inside the bar of the estuary nngbt fairly be asked toeontributo towards tho expense. If the question had been raised especially before the Committee, no doubt, ample reasons would have been given lor the action of the Llanelly commissioners, and he had very little doubt that the Com- mittee would have passed the Bill in its pre- sent shape. True, tbere was some amount of ambiguity in the construction of the original clause, and it was altered, but from tbe very first there was no doubt as to the intention of the Llanelly Commissioners to ask that a charge should be allowed on all parties inside the bar. He hoped the House would not sanction tbe presen t proposal, and ■et so dangerous a precedent.—Tho question was then put, and decided in the negative without a division, certain amendments pro- I posed by the promoters being agreed to,— The Bill was ordered fer third reading,

The trophy, which is of silver, is modelled in peculiar, but yet pretty and attrac- tive, pattern, and is flanked by two smaller replicas. It constitutes a charming trophy. and is the theme of general admiration. The excellent band of the 3rd Glamorgan Rifle Volunteers, by the kind permision of Colonel William Pike and the officers of the corps, played an exceJlent programme of ) music in the grounds of the Langland Bay ( Hotel on Thursday evening. Hundreds of the inhabitants and visitors gathered together I to hear the performance, and much appre- ciated the various items. The numerous friends of Mr David Williams, 97, idangyfelach-road. Brynhyfryd, who is a.t present employed as an inspector in the water- works department of the Swansea Corporation, will be pleased to hear of his success at the examination held for sanitary inspectors in connection with the Sanitary Institute, Lon- don, at Cardiff on Friday and Saturday last. Mr. Williams is now qualified td accept a posi- tion as sanitary inspector. A singular incident occurred in the neigh- bourhood of Reynoldstone recently, a man named D. Williams successfully extracting a stick, measuring 13! inches long and about an inch in diameter, from a pig. after the ¡ poor animal ha.d been suffering tor a fort- night. The pig was first of all drenched with a strong emetic, and after vomiting violently, the stick came up to the throat, and was ex- tracted by means of a pincers, used for ring- ing pigs. The nominations for the vacancy on the Oysstermouth Urban District Council (left vacant by the death of Mr. William Benett some months ago), will take place on Mon- day next at the Board-room, Park-street. Mumbles. At present there is only one can- didate in the field, Mr. Wilham Howell. | i Southend, and it is unlikely that there will lk. any other. Should, however, a contest l»i necessitated, the polling will take place on Friday, tlie 31st inst. In the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice on Thursday, Mr. Justice i Chicty heard an adjom-ned summons for the < payment out of a sum of about JB750 to be applied towards the rebuilding of tot. Mary's; Church, Swansea. His Lordship said it seemed that tho Attorney-General did not oppose, and seeing that the application was reasonable and proper, he should sanction I the application of the money for the rebuilding of the church, and made the order necessary for that purpose. Mr. P. Donaldson's famous vachi, Isolde." has entered the competition set apart for second class yachts in the Swansea Regatta. In connection with the regatta it I will be of interest to our readers to know thac about 5.30 o'clock in the aftemojn the Mumbles lifeboat will be latmcuud fron; that portion of the Swansea beach rear th" pier- head. The manoeuvres which it is intended to go through will be of unusual interest. thousands of people having never seen a life- boat afloat ::t all. Ml. B. Williams, grocer. Waunarlwydd, writes -Kindly allow me to draw the atteii- i tion of the authorities to the state of our water supply at Waunarlwydd. We have been kept without a drop of water from Tuesday morning up to Thursday night, and it looks doubtful whether we will hciveany tlrs | week. Such a state of things is disgra-c-ful. and should be promptly attended to. We may be assailed by some epidemic or other, a.nd after the enemy enters our homes it wi:1 he too late then to act. Now is the time to keep the foe at a distance, and if the supply is rcnall let us have it properly distribute., It seems that Mynyddbach y Glo and the Ystrad-road have a continuous supply, whilst Waunarlwydd for days together is without any. It is time we opened our eyes and saw to our interests. There was excitement in Swansea this time la%l year, 1)ir John Llewelyn was being steadily voted into Parliament. Tbe Swansea Guardians are arranging for tho loan of £ 27 000 at three per cent, plus incidental expenses, from t.ho: Corporation. By virtue of this arrangement the Union stands to save between JE300 and £400 a year The Sehool Board, which pays from 3* to 4 per cent for its loans, hopes to effect a sub- stantial saving also by the same means. The amounts of the recent t-Ute. collec- tions for Dr .Barnard*'s Homes have been published. The total receipts were £ 492, and the expenses S-35, leaviug a balance of £457, Swansea sent £ 50 18. 3d.; Llanelly E30 18s, 8d., and Neath £:28 Is. A serious accident occurred on Thursdav evening at the South Dock. A youug man named William Jenkins, wUo was standing on the edge of the quav, was tripped up by a hawser attached to the steamship Liiamond and thrown against tue wall, i he unfortunate fellow was picked up unconscious and sus- tained severe injuries to his face and head. A departcienta) coK&uUee, it is stated, is about to visit 8wans<.a district to hold an inquiry into the alleged dangerous operations carried on aL some of tbe work*. The Irequent running down of people bv locomotives, and the processes eonnec.ed with the production of Bessemer steel, wid have particular attention. Mr Tennant, M.P., is the ciiar- maii of the committee, and Mr Augustus Lewis, H.M. Inspector of Factories, is pre- paring a special report for tbe occasion Managers of works, doctors, &c., will be called upon to give eridence. Likewise workmen we hope. This (Friday) rooming, in the presence of a large number of the inhabitants and well- wishers, a new pit was started at. Gendros, Fcrestfach, to work tbe 2ft. vein, which can- sists of both coal and clay. Tne first clods were cut by Mrs Ana Charles, Miss Rosina Davies and Mr Robert Charles, representing the companp, which consists of Mr Edward Charles, Glanyrafon gey, W. Charles, M.4u, Treorcby- and Mr John Daviee. Beaufort. A clod was also cut by the Rev. J. Davies, Cadle, who represented the neiehbourbood. It is hoped that success will follow the andertatrmg, fo6 the sake of both the com- pany and tbe neighbourhood.

GLAMORGAN Y. FRUKKEY II. LLLVLN. THE PiETUEN FIXTURE. POOR START BY GLAMORGAN. A great deal of interest centred in the re- turn match between Glamorganshire and the Surrey Second Eleven at the Cardiri: Arms Park to-day (Friday). Tne first encounter between the two teams took place ai tlie Oval on Whit Monday and Tuesday, and was left drawn after a capital exhibition of cricket on both sides. Glamorgan, if anything, having a slight advantage at the close. On that occasion S'irrey ran up scores of 309 and! 252, whilst Glamorgan put 284 and 50 for one wicket to their credit. Taking the 20 wickets that fell on the Surrey bide their grand total of 561 comes out at 28.1 run? per wicket, whilst the average of 11 Glamorgan wickets down for 554 works. out 5^.4. Tins should be particularly encouraging to the men of Glamorgan, especially now that they are playing at home. The Surrey team was a particularly strong one, including Air. W. T. Graham. Smith, and Ayres (who d,d not play at the Ovalh Baldwin. Braund. Hender- son. and Marshall. On the Glamorgan side Messrs. W. Morgan, R. H. Swpet-Escutt. S. Sweet-Escott, and Eldridge stood down for Messrs. W. H. Brain, T. M. Barlow. L. L. David, and S. Biggs. Others who remained in tie side were Messrs. J. H. Brain. L. W. Jones. H. B. Letcher, and H. E- Morgaii, with Bancroft and Lowe. Play was commenced at 12 o'clock, at which time there was a fair attendance on the ground. The weather was fin" and the wicket L good condition, soruv good batting being ex.,t;cted.. The home side at the last moment underwent 8 changes. Mendelssohn took the place of J. H. Brain, and R. H. Johnson came in as eleventh man. The toss was won hy the home side, who sent Barlow and E. W. Jones to the bowl- ing of Smith and Lee". The result was a sur- prising collapse on the pait of the home bats- men. The two bowlers named went on un- changed throughout, the only two batsmen able to stand up to their deliveries being Ban- croft and Johnson. The innings was over before luncheon for 60.
