The Vatican authorities declined to grant audience, considering the priest's claims unjustified. To-day Savigny placed him- Belf in the Raphael Lodge, which the Pope had to pass, and refused to aaeye an when the Pepe approached, shouting pnd gesticulating *nd threatening, and causing fright among the pilgrims, who had just been received, Ge.n-. ^armes had to ipse force to expel Savigny fpem the Vatican and to hand turn 9Vey to the italian police.—Reuter,

The King and Queen and a distinguished party on Monday afternoon steamed round from Cowes in the Royal yacht Alexandra to Yarmouth to see the sunken cruiser Gladiator, and the progress of the salvage operations.

Roumegoux claims that his apparatus is capable of raising a weight of one ton.

BURGLES ARREST ON ROOF. On Saturday evening Chief Inspector Mar- shall, of Rochdale, paid a visit to Birming- ham, in order to, if possible, effect the rrest of a man said to be one of a notorious gang of burglars.' He obtained the assistance of ten constables of the A Division, and on Sunday morning the company proceeded to an address in Bellbarn-road. The place was surrounded, and as soon as this fact became known the wanted" man escaped on to the roof, access to which he gained by smashing through the tiles. He was followed, and a desperate en- counter took place, in the course of which he fell into the yard, where he was promptly secured. He had received a severe scalp wound, and was taken to the General Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. On Sunday evening, in the company of Chief Inspector Marshall, he was conveyed to Roch- dale.

THE CRADLE OF THE G.W.R. It must not be forgotten that Bristol was the cradle of the Great Western Railway, and that it was the money provided by N&ristol merchants which brought the scheme to frui- tion. Originally the terminus of the line, it is now the centre of railway communication- hardly equalled by any other place in the kingdom. The enterprise of its citizens has been ably seconded by the directors and officers of the Great Western, and as a conse- quence Bristol can boast of a train service such as few other places enjoy. The projected now line from Avonmouth to Filton, to pro- vide a direct route from the r ew docks to the main line to London isud South Wales, is a further and ample proof of the desire of the company to do all in thoir power to ensure the euecesa of the gigantic undertaking just com- In pleted by tho Corporation of Bristol.—" Great Western Railway Magazine,

Suicide in Prison Cell. THE TRAGEDY AT BRIXTON. The sensational sequel to the stabbing affray at the Bath Club last week was the sub- ject of an inquest by Mr G. P. Wyatt at Brix- ton Prison on Tuesday, when that gentleman sat to inquire into the circumstances of the death of George Martin Backenstrass, aged 30, a cook at the. club, who com- mitted suicide while' under remand at the prison in connection with the death of a fellow employee named Pierre Alletree at the club. It was alleged that de- ceased stabbed the other man during a dispute. Alletree died shortly after the occurrence. Detective Maditon said prisoner was under remand on a charge of murder. Warder Robson, the warder who found de- ceased hanging about half-past 6 o'clock on Thursday morning, said the deceased had hanged himself from a ventilator in the cell with his braces. Witness cut him down and called assistance. Artificial respiration was em ployed and the doctor called. Witntss first saw prisoner five minutes after 6. Previously he had been seen every quarter of an hour by the nifht patrol.. A Juror: When you went to the cell why did you not go in ? The Coroner He did go in. He found him hanging. The witness added that he had only just left his bed and the prisoner had been in charge of the night patrol. If his attention 'was called to a particular prisoner he would have been called up. William Thomas Haydon, assistant warder at Brixton Gaol, said he was the night patrol on the 30th. He saw the deceased every quar- ter of an hour. The last time was at 4.50 a.m. The man was then lying in the bed. Dr. Scott, the medical officer, said prisoner was admitted on the 28th. He was a foreigner, apparently a German. He said he had suffered from a nervous affection. There were marks of two wounds of an operation in the abdomen, but the man was in fairly good health, and behaved himself quite rationally, though he showed that he was naturally worried about the crime. On the prisoner's slate was found written words to the effect that he had not been in good health, that he felt the disgrace, that his conscience waa quite clear, and that he was guiltless of the offence with which he was cnarged. The jury returned a verdict of Suicide by hanging whilst in a state of unsound mind."

Sir R. Buller's Will. ESTATE OF £35,000. The will of General Sir Rftdvers Bnller has been proved in Exeter Registry Court. The gross value of the estate is sworn at JE54,992, the net value of personal estate being £32,488. The piece of plate presented to Sir Redvers by the County of Devon, lamps presented to him by the Frontier Light Horse, and the clock and vases presented to him by Baker's Horse, and two shields presented to him by the ladies of Cape Colony are to pass as heirlooms. He bequeaths all his real and leasehold estate, and the residue of his personal estale, to Lidy Audrey Buller and Mr Arthur Tre- mayneBuller, who are appointed as his trustees, upon trust to pay after his death to his wife £2,000, and also to pay his daughter Audrey Charlotte Georgina, the sum of £10,000, but which is not to be raisable or carry interest so long as any charges in favour of his two sisters, or either of them, are existent against the donor's estate. Should his daughter, on the death of his two sisters,derive benefit from these charges, it is provided that the legacy of £10,000 shall be abated, either wholly or in part. He makes these depositions in the belief that his daughter will receive £23,00:> under trusts of his marriage settlement and the conditions of her mother's will, but in the event of anything occurring to change this he directs that £30,OOOshall be paid to his daughter out of his personal estate and marriage settle- ment. Sir Redvers expresses the hope that his successor at Downes will continue, to those in receipt of them, and grant to any hereafter worthy of them, the allowances he had made to old servants and workmen of the estate.

Who'll Go Next ? DYING MAN'S QUESTION TO COMRADE. A strange incident is reported in regard -to a double fatality on the Great Western Railway. Two men, named Bromley and Sutton, lived in a Great Western hut together at Gwauncae- gurwen. On Saturday Sutton was crushed against a tram and succumbed. Bromley helped him home, and on the way deceased remarked. It's my turn now who'll go next 7" Some time afterwards, while Bromffey was on his way to his lodgings, he fell over a quarry, a. distance of 30ft. He was picked up aHve but suffering tentMe agonies from a fractured spine- and arm and injuries to the head, dying soon afterwards.

OPERATION FEE. Judge Owen, at Barry County Court on Tuesday heard a claim by Dr. A. N. Wilde, Barry Dock, against A. C. Stephens, a Newport rivetter, for £22 10s for medical attendance on his child. Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd for the plaintiff said that the child had been stayingat the residenceof John Martin, defend- ant's brother-in-law, at Barry, and Dr. Wilde's assistant being sent for, an operation for hip disease was afterwards performed. Defendant said he had never given consent to have such an operation performed. Left a widower with a family 'of eight children, if he had known such an operation was neces- sary he could have taken the child to the Newport Infirmary. His Honour gave judgment for tile defen- dant, but without costs, at the same time remarking that he though defendant should pay something. I

BEFENDED FISHGUARD. The transference of the Cardigan Royal Gar. rison Artillery Militia to the Army Reserve removes an historic regiment from the Welsh Regiment. The regiment was fprmed nearly 150 years ago, and was then recogrned as the 64th Royal Cardigan Rifle Militia. In 1797 it was called out to oppose the landing of the ill- timed French expedition at Fishguard, and the descendants of one of the Aberystwyth men possess a eannon ball, about the size of an orange, which was fired from the French ships. During the stirring times at the beginning of the last century the regiment was on duty in Ireland. In 1877 it was turned into artillery, and was mobilised during the Boer war for garrison duty.

JUDGE OWEN'S HUMOUR. Joseph Diamond, a Barry coaltrimmer, was the plaintiff in an action heard at the local County Court on Tuesdav before Judge Owen, in which he claimed for the value of a mackintosh coat and a suit of clothes damaged through coming into contact with a defective tree-guard. Mr Jones-Lloyd Here is a photograph of the spot, if it will help your Honour. Judge Owen No I see a lot of men a bout,» qualifying for old age pensions. (Laughter.) Mr Jones-Hoyd It is outside the Shipping Office. Judge Owen Oh! I thought it was a public- house.—Plaintiff said he had lived in the street for 18 years, and one wet morning his mackin- tosh and coat caught in the tree-guard, which had a list," and the clothes were damaged. Judgment was given for £2 10s and costs.

PUGILISTIC COLLIER. Ferndale Man's Folly at Weston. At Weston-super-Mare Police Court on Tuesday Richard Roberts, collier, of Ferndale, was committed to a month's hard labour tor assaulting police-constables. Prisoner, who was also fined for being drunk and disorderly, was stated to have kicked the officers, and to have frequented the sands since Saturday for the purpose of fighting. The magistrates warned) trippers that if they attacked the police they would not be given the option of a fine.

BATHINQ AT BANGOR. f At a meeting of the Bangor Council on Tuesday night Councillor Burton called atten- tion to scandalous practices indulged in by bathers in the district. He said ladies had complained to him. He had seen men enter the water somewhat scantily dressed in fact, he had seen men with no costume at all. practically naked, enter the water where mixed parties were bathing, to the great disgust of the ladies. Replying to the Town Clerk, Mr Burton said he considered the costume in- decent, though it was sanctioned at gentle men's bathing places. The Town Clerk said it was a matter for the police.

ART CRITIC'^FORTUNE. Mr Martin Colnaghi, the art critic and dealer, who died in June last, left estate of which the net personalty has been sworn at £79,000. After bequeathing certain legacies he left the residue of his property to his wife for life and on her deceased the residue of his! estate whicfe will apparently amount to nearly £80,000 to the National Gallery. Mr Colnaghi also left certain valuable pictures to the National Gallery.

BROTHERS' FIGHT. As a sequel to a family dispute Herbert Jones and William Jones, brothers, fought in the street in Coventry on Saturday night, and the former, it is alleged, struck the latter on the head with a poker and knocked him down.
