ALARMiNG FLOODS ROADS TORN UP. Bargoed Pit in Danger THE ELY MILLS STOPPED I The extraordinary downpour of rain on Monday is regarded as about the heaviest ever experienced in the Pontypridd district, and the floods caused a great deal of incon- venience and not an inoonsiderabie amount of damage. The outlying district of Cil- fynydd appeared to have suffered much. Here cottages and business premises were deluded, the wa-t-erin a low-lying refresh- ment-house reaching almost to the counter. Traffic was materially interfered with. The Pontypridd Council electric trams had to be discontinued on the Cilfynydd route, and near the Albion Hotel so great was the amount of debris swept down from the hill- sides that a motor-car, a baker's cart, and a break got stranded at the spot, from which they could not for a very considerable time be extricated, so deeply had they been embedded in the accumulated mass. So great was the flood in the main road, also, that many workmen were unable to proceed to their work in the Evening at the Albion Colliery. At Norton Bridge the floods undermined the retaining wall of a garden, -with the result that it collapsed, and a ma-ss of earth, Ac., esti- mated at about 100 tone, was precipitated into the roadway, making the latter quite impassable. Traffic was impeded at Tre- forest, the water near the Taff Vale Bridge on the road to lAantwit being some feet in depth. It is feared that a good deal of damage has also been done consequent upon road- ways being torn up by the force of the water, which rendered them for the time being veritable river-beds; and at some hours of the day occupants of houses and shops had to concentrate all their efforts in endeavouring to stem the inrushes of the flood. PAPER MILLS UNDER WATER Whole District Swamped The River Bly overflowed its ban ks at both Bt. Fagan's and Ely during last night. Fields, roads, the railway, a-u4 in some cases Louses, were flooded, the oooopantc, being unable to leave the premise*. At St. Fagran's the road leading to the rail- way station was flooded to It depth of a foot two, and intending -passe,igeris by train ihis morning had to be carried Otl to the platform by railwaymen, who tfadM almost snee-deep in wa.ter. The houses and gardens near the station Use suffered, it being impossible to keep the arater out. At Ely the situation this roorring was even xorse. During the night the wafir had prac- tically swampod the Ely Papei Works, the men having to hurriedly leave ff work and ileaj- out. The first notification that sotething was imise came about eleven o'cloc last night, wihen the men employed in tJ buildings nearest- the river found them sees standing in water. Little notice was ta.kt of this at first, but as it got deeper other epartments were cominunica.ted with. To teæ, too, it was found that the water had nde its way, and very soon practically all e machine rooms were flooded, stopping thoaa,-hinery. Orders were at ollee given forhe men to knock off work. Hastily puttii on their clothes, they scampered out of t! premises, only to find the yard like a lakebeing- over a foot deep in water. The railwr line and the road were also under water. There was nothing for it but v take off boots a.nd stockings, and wfde tough the wa.ter. From the Ely Railway-station tt-he level crossing near the Sanatorium railway 'line was inundated, and trns were warned by fog signals to proceed >wly. As each train parsed volumes of tf.er were hurled into the air.

The approach to the station was Ac?oded that Mr. John Cory, on axnving are in his carriage this morning, found ti the water almost reached the horse's imach, and he was forced to wade th-rou-i it in order to reach the platform. Passengers in Grave Peril An amazing mishap occurred on -nday night on the Brecon and Merthyr ihvay between Torpant-au and Talybom The driver of the 6.15 train from Newport'ticed that a portion of the line had been rried away on account of the subsidence the bank. caused by the heavy rains. He plied the brakes, but the engine ran the metals, a.nd became embedded in tlvank, and thus came to a standstill. It waanost a miracle that the engine did not pple over the embankment, and if it had ie so some of the carriages at least ould probably ba-ve been carried with it The paceengers, who suffered a great deirom shock, were transferred to a reliefra-in from Breoon. Bargoed Pit in Danger Thousands of pounds worth of la-ge must have been caused by the hearain in the Rhymney Valley on Monday eing. Chief damage up to midnight occui at the famous collieries of the Powell-lryn Company at Bargocd. The danger was undeniable, becauthe water poured over the river bank irrge volumes and flooded the bi-productant and machinery, whilst thousands of ons | poured into the hundred coke overwid caused a phenomenal picture. Den ud. of evil-smelling smoke filled the aifend escaping gas played fantastically a.lver the top of the ovens. The mineral 1' of the company were flooded to the deptf a fo ct.

Members of the Bargoed Fire Bde under Captain Tom Jones) renderediat little assistance they could, but unle-he rain ceases the damage will be incalcde. Bargoed Railway Station, which is led by gas from the colliery, was plunjiu darkness early after nine p.m. Near the colliery a huge wall at thfck of the Junction Hotel gave way, andne sheds at the rear of the Old Mill HoUso became wrecked by the flood. Gas House, occupied by Mr. Knighhe manager of the Rhymney and Aber Gam pauy, .Buffered badly, as the river tide pt clean through it. The garden of the post-office neane viaduct was partly washed away, ame telephone battery-room also had a quantity of water in it. whilst the twofes known as The Bont. occupied by Als. Bees, likewise had part of the garden ftd and washed away. All the men of the house coal and m coal pita had to be hurriedly broug-o bank, the fear being entertained thate water would get down the shaft. a matter of fact, a good deal of wated, and the men experienced a trying, whilst to get out of the colliery yardy had to wade knee-deap in it. At Rhymney the iron company's banke slightly, and caused much alarm. The b at Pontlottyn were impassable. Work at Bargoed Resumed The water was found to have subsia great deal this morning in the Bargoec- liery yard, and all danger is. for the' being, paeeed. Work underground has i reeiimod, but work in the gas engine-t yf the washery is still stopped. Havoc at Rhymney At Rhymney the gas was put out, ant whole district wafl in da.rkness. After night the rainstorm waa increasing force and the river still rising. < municatiou with the upper part of valley was exceedingly ditftcuilt. It rumoured earlier in the night that ther voir at Rhymney Bridge had burst its t This was unfounded, but it was appa that the other ponds must have overfi to -end the water down the valley with force.

I Pontlottyn in Darkness I Never within the knowledge of the present residents of Pontlottyn has sueh havoc been wrought by floods as was witnessed on Mon- day night. The incessant heavy downpour oaused the numerous oulverts and ponds to burst and overflow. which resulted in every street becoming a miniature river In several parte of the town the residents found it necessary to retire to a higher storey, and considerable damage has been cauaed to u,r- niture and other property. The mam road to Rhymney near the gasworks was covered with over 4ft. of water for a considerable distance, and traffic in that direction was completely suspended. About seven p.m. the I water found an entrance into the gas main, *nd placed the entire town, in darkness. Serious Damage at Troedyrhiw Inofetsant rain fell at Merthyr Vale and Troedyrhiw during Sunday and Monday, and caused much damage and inconvenience. Culverts, gulleys. and sinks were choked with debris brought down from the mountain- sides The streets at Troedyrhiw, especially Bridge-street and Elm-street, were under water. and. as most of the shops have cellars, the tradespeople will suffer considerably. Cottagers also suffered' a great deal, and in more than one house the furiture was carried upstairs and the house locked up and left to its fate, the tenants putting up with rela- tives or friends. Streets Flooded at Nelson Rain fell at Nelson in torrents, which caused the drains to become blocked and the streets to be flooded. In some of the houses in Commercial-street, Station-terrace, an' Ball-court the furniture had to be relieved owing to the water ranming through the houses. Damage at Merthyr Rain fell in torrents throughout the day at Merthyr, and owing to the drains being unable to carry off all the storm water several of the streets at night were flooded. In many parts of the town cellars wore deluged and there was considerable da-inti-gfi done to property. In the lower part of the parish the condition of things was far warse than in the town, and some of the. members of the corporation were unable to go to a meeting of that body, Alderman Roberts, of Mertbyr Vale, sending a message saying that he was drowned out." Obstruction on the T.V.R. I Con6id.ra,ble inconvenience was experienced by the passengers travelling on the Taff Vale Railway branch between Pontypridd and Lilan.trisa.nt in consequence of the majsses of debris Ca-l-rred on to the railway by the torrents. Near Lilaatwlt Yardre last night two coaches, in descending a gradient, got derailed. The train, however, was proceed- ing a.t dO a Low a pace that all danger was guarded against, and the engine kept on the rails. Subsequently the officials made arra/nge- merits by w'h the passengers had to alight Ion ukuriiig the obstruction and re-traiu oil the other side. The debris was cleared by this morning, when passenger and other traffic was resumed. On the Barry Railway also, particularly between Treforast and Tcmteg, the paosengers had a m jst unusual experience. When travelling through the cutting near Tooteg they were startled by a loud hissing nois' Looking out they found they were being conveyed through a "canal," and it was dis- covered that the D(IIÍj:;(' was caused through the water being so deep as to come in con- tact with tTie fire-box of the engine. Bridge Washed Away I An extraordinary state of thing's was expe- rienced at Llanbradaeh. The substantial footbridge leading to the Monmouthshire side by the Wingfield Hotel was SW away by the river, and carried bodily to the next bridge, nearly a mile distant. The stome pilla.rs also collapsed. Several pigs owned by Mr. Seiby have dis- appeared, and some sheep of Mr. Edwards s were found with their legs broken. The col- I liery "strike" horses huddled tog-ether in a remote part, and were not found for some time. Fatality at Bedlinog The culvert underneath the open space known a.s t,he Square, Cwmfelin, was blocked by the large quantity of timber brought down by a turbulent little stream whem in flood from the tip of the Bedlinog Collieries last evening. The river, in consequence, burst over its ban-ke, and made its course along Lower High-street, flooding the Bedlinog ilin a.nd a large number of houses in Oatland- street. About seven p.m. it overthrew a *all tha? stood in front of t.he B&dHnog InIl 'tnd the stream rue-bed over a f?.l! of sev -1 feet through a garden. Over this fall three per- sons, named Jaimes Williams, Oharles Prioe, a.nd William Richards, were hurled, having lost their footing in trying to cross the stream higher up. T'he last two were saved, but Williams, notwithstanding the brave efforts of Charles Price to s-ave him, was swe,pt a-wa,y in the flood, and his body was discovered about a mile lower down the Valley this morning. He lived in Com- meroiaJ-iStreet, and was about 48 years of age. He leaves a widow and eight children. Cilfynydd I Cilfynydd seems to have felt the full force I of the torrential rains of yesterday, and near the Albion Hotel a.bout 400 tons of rubbish have been deposited on the roadside, in the removal of which a gang of workmen are busily engaged. The torrent carried down huge masses* of earth a.nd stone, cutting trenches to a depth of about ten feet in some places. Perhaps, the most serious consequence is the complete undermining of t,he large retaining wall of St. Luke's Ohuroh, which has to be propped up with planks to prevent its collapse. Great Storms in the West New York, storms a.re raging in Wyoming and Colorado. a.nd numerous casualties are reported. A tele- gram from Cheyenne, Wyoming, sta-tee tlat the force of the wind yesterday was so ter- rible that a railway car was blown right off the track down a.n embankment. Twelve of the occupants were killed out- right, and several others were injured. In t-he north-east of Colorado there has been a terrific snowstorm, which has caused the stoppage of all traffic. Six people a.re reported to have perished in the snowdrifts.

IStory of a Will
I Story of a Will SISTER'S CUT OUT lEbACY In the Probate Court to-day a suit ca-me on for hearing affecting the testamentary dispositions r-f Mr. William M'Murray M'Far- lane, proprietor of the "Sporting Life," who (lied at the age of 70 last October, leaving property amoullt-ing to about £ 10,000. Plain- tiff, widow of the testator, propounded a will of the 6th of March last year, under which she takes the bulk of the property as residuary legatee. Mrs. Ma.ry Woodfin, a eister of the testator, opposed the will, alleging it waa not duly executed, that testator was not of sound in-ind at the time, that the will was obtained by undiie iiiflue-nce and fraud on the part of the plaintiff, and tha.t the testator did not know a.nd approve of the contents. These allegations were denied by plaintiff. Counsel for the plaintiff said Mr. M'Farlane in 1896. he then being 58, proposed marriage to the plaintiff, who was the daughter of an old friend. She was then 25. They were married the same year. In 1904. in conse- quence of ill-health-, Mr. M'Farlane gave his wife and a Mr. St-unders a power of attorney to look a-ftor the business. Two yedips later some unpleasantness arose between Mr. Woodfln, husband of Mrs. Woodfin, and teetator, a.nd an action was brought by Mr. Woodfin aga-inat testator and his wife. Mr. M'Farlane made a. codicil cutting t out Mrs. Woodfln's legacy under his will, and early in the following year infractions for the will iu dispute. This was dn-ly executed. Coun.>el sadd he would be able to disprove the allegations of delusions and fraud. Mr. Lomao. a solicitor, -?ave evidence as to the due exertion of the wHl. a d that testator was sane. Witness never heard of any delusions. Counsel cross-examined witness as to what he termed a scandal with reference to Mns. M'Farlane and a gentleman engaged in the office of the paper, and put before bim a letter written by Mr. Woodfin on the subject. Witness admitted Mrs. M'Farlane bad oo-n- suited him as to bringing an action for j slander against Mr. Woodfin on the matter, and he agreed with counsel that, if Mrs. M'Farlane ha.d complained to her hus'ba.nd about his brother-in-law making unfounded allegations against her, that would be likely to influence the testator adversely against the Woodfine.

Joel SensationI
Joel Sensation In charging the gTand jury at the CM Bailey to-day, the Recorder referred to the case of Charles Win-born and Arthur Thomas Car- ham, who are charged with sending letters to Mrs. J. B. Joel demanding money with menaces. He advised the grand jury to return true bills, and mid.-I need scarcely point out to you that it i-i a very serious offence, and one which I am afra-id is rather on the increase, th-is demanding money by menaces. In the case of a man who was so well -known as Mr. Jack Joel, and whose name has figured so prominently before the public of late, I need scarcely point out what a cowardly act it is for these man to write suoh a letter as written to Mr. Joel's wife. Mre. Joel, like a sc.nseble woman, went to the police, and by a,greemenj,-1,n advertise- ment was inserted in a daily newspaper, upon the strength of Which Cannon went to the prosecutrix's house with a box for the purpose of receiving J3500. He was there met by the police and taken into custody.

9, RUMOURS UPSHOT,' TRUSTEE ASSAULTS PASTOR. Suggestion About a Baby A SENGHENYDD RUMPUS Extraordinary charges of asaa-ult were heard at OaerphALly to-day, the defendants being William Williams (49) and Mrs. Eliza- beth Williams (39), of demghenydd, whilst the complainant was Mr. Richard Thomas, a young lay pastor, of Senghenydd. Mr. Harold IJo-yd was for complainant, and Mr. W. Kenshole for the defendants. Mr. Harold Lloyd said the complainant was engaged at Sion Wes'loyaa Chapel, Seng- henydd, until a few days before the hap- penings. The defendant was a trustee of the chapel, and for some considerable time was on friendly terms, because the minister lodged with the defendant, though he left some days before the assault. On Sept-ember 29 about 8.30 p.m., Mr. Thomas and a Miss Morgan were passing down Commercial- street when the defendants ran after them, and Mrs. Williams caught him by the throat. Then the ma-le defendant came up, caught him by the nooli, and struck him a violent blow on the moath. He also pushed Miss Morgan. Seeing a crowd collecting. Mr. Thomas took to his heels, -rnali.iig for Miss Mohan's house. the two defendants and the crowd following. As Mr. Thomas was about to enter the house William Williaans kicked him severely. The male defendant then made accusations of impropriety a,gainst Mr. Thomas and Miss Morgan, and asked com- plainant to come out and fight. Mr. Lloyd said that there was an action pending between the parties in the High Court con. cerning the allegations. He the advocate felt that the woman was led by her bras band, a.nd if the oaóe was proved he would be satisfied for her to be bound over. Complainant gave evidence, agreeing with this statement, adding tha-t he told vs. Williams that if there was anything to settle they should go to some house neaJ. # Mr. Lloyd: Is there anything in these alle- gations ?—Oh, no. I would not bring this action if there wos any truth in it. By Mr. Kenshole: Defendants were peace- able for twehe months whilst he lodged with them, and the only reason be could ive for the assault was that action was being taken for the charges made against his chara-oter to a Mr. and Mrs. Evans. Mrs. Williams, when brought face to face with Mr. and Mrs. Evans, declared that complainant must have made the cfiarges himself. "Mysterious Charges." In further cross-examination the com- plain ant said: I went to Mrs. Lewis, and she told mé that there was some very mysterious charges against Miss Morga.n and myieelt. I knew for about three weeks that there were rumours about us getting married on the sly, and all I said was that the same pa.rties who were trying to slander me were Slandering her (Miss Morgan). Mr. Kenehole: Mrs. Williams as>ked you to cleaj- herP-She caught me by the throat and shouted murder. (Laughter.) Did you and Miss Morgan try to pueh her asideF-I freed myself from her grip. By Mr. Lloyd: The only reason for the assault he could give was that they beard he had been to a lawyer. Complanw-nt added, "I stood like a statue." (Laughter.) Miss Mary Jane Morgan, a smart-looking young woman, said she tried to assist Mr Thomas to froo himself. Sage Advice. Daniel Lewis, a neighbour, spoke to giving sound advice to the male defendant. The latter was outside the Morgans' house, and said to witness, "I want to See Mr. Thomas, the preacher, to give him a thrashing." Wit- ness^sadd it would be better for him to go home, for if Mr. Thomas had done any-thing to him it would be better to smumon him. Williams then staid, "I won't go home until he comes out if I have to stay here till the morning. (Laughter.) I nearly caught him, and I had a good kick at him as he went into the he-use." (Laughter.) Mrs. Williams, in defence, said that com- plainant and Mies Morgan held hor by the arms when she aeked Mr. Thomas to clear her character, and she shouted "Help!" Her husband then came a.nd parted them. Mr. Lloyd; With his fist? (lauchter.)--No. Continuing, witness said she made no reflection upon their character. Mr. Thomas himself had told her something about Miss Morgan. Mr. Lloyd: TbaJt she was an untruthful girl?—Yes, and a baby. Oh, Mr. Thomas told yon?—Yes. further cross-exa-nuined, she said she waa angry because she knew they were all liars. Mr. Lloyd; Poor Mr. Thomas never said anything?—No. Miss Morgan invented the statement that she had a child and buried it in twelve (months?—Yee. The Clerk: Did your husband give a part- ing kick?—I didn't see it. Mr. Kenshole here intimated that he had advised t-he male defendant not to give evi- dence. The wholle incident, apparently, was the upshot of rumours. Dr. Leigh fined William Williams E2 and coets or fourteen days, and Elizabeth Wil- liams 10s. and costs or seven day.

I The London Horror
I The London Horror I POLICE INUNDATED WITH RUMOURS ——— I [SPECIAL TO THE 'ENINO EXPRESS."] So fair as can be ascertained no fresh development of material importance is to be recorded this morning in connection with the murder of Esther Prager, in Bernard- street during the nigiht of Friday laet. One of the police officers prominently engiuge<L in the case said this morning that the search for the murderer has not yet narrowed down to the point of a hunt for one particular man. At present, he admitted, the police had no definite idea of who the murderer is. Yesterday's investigations have resulted in the withdrawal of the suspicion wbtich centred round several persona with whom the deceased girl was known to have been acquainted. In the course of the day the detectives closely interrogated about men who were known to have been seen, on various occasions with the deceased girl. In every case they satisfied the authorities of their innocence of the crime. The authorities have been furnished with no description of any person seen wffch the deceased, beyond those who ha.ve already aocounted for the movements, which they consider of sufficient value as an aid to the discovery of the murderer to circulate either through the podioe force or to the public. One detail of importance in this connection is the fact that the a.seailam.,t of Esther PTager probably has more ox less severe scratches upon his hands and his face. That is a point which needs to be re-called. The clues provided by the finger prints are being followed up elccely. The sensation created by the news of the m-urd-er in London has not abated. It is still being freely discussed, and, as usual, has Provoked a series of rumours, most of which have absolutely no foundation. The police are pursuing their inquiries with vigour, and still hope to have some definite evidence to bring forward at to-morrxxw's inquest which will elucidate this baffling mystery. DEAD GIRL'S SAD LIFE I Hardened My Heart Mire. Cooper, a sister of the dead girl, Prager, who was found strangled in London on Sunday morning, tells a sad story of her efforts to reclaim her. Mrp. Cooper states that she did all she could to get her sistea* to settle down to steady employment, but conscious of her beauty amd ability, rebelling at the aqua-lor and Poverty of her life as a trouser finisher, she would scornfully comment, "Fancy me earning 7jd. a dozen finishing trousers!" She would, too, exolaim bitterly, "I can-not b- to go about like this (with glances of contempt at her plain olothing); look how beautifully- the English girls are dressed, and I should look more beautiful than any of them." "After a time," said Mrs. Cooper, "we put her with friends, but shortly after she got away from them. Then I heard she had been eeen richly dressed, and my heart sick with dread, and my thoughts full of what her mother would think, I sought her every- where for days together. "At last I found her, quiet-ly dressed, and as she dec-lared she was at work, although she would not tell me where, I was satisfied and ha,p.py again." The happiness did not last long. Her sister heard of her first in whispered tones, and then in the outspoken censure of old acquaintances. With faithful solicitude for the young girl's welfare Mrs. Cooper sought her out again. Esther fled from her but was overtaken.. With tear-swoMen eyes and from a full heart she pleaded with the girl to come home, It was all in vain-the girl laughed merrily, MId was in no mood to be warned. Her sister then appeaJed to the polioe. but they o>uld do nothing. The fcirl was her own mistresB, they pointed out. Once more her sister sought her out and begged her to come home with her. This time Esther melted, and promised she would. As she s9K)ke, however, Esther "gave her the sdip, and daeihed away on to a passing motor omnibus. That was the last Mrs. Cooper saw of her sister alive, except for a moment on the Friday, in the evening of whioch she met her death. "I Was marketing in Morgan-street," Mrs. Cooper told a press repreeemtotive, "when suddenly I came in contact with Lather. She looked at me so pleadingly, as if she Was asking for forgiveness. But I hardened my heart against her, and turned my head away. Then I went home and cried—oh, so bitterly. "When next I saw her she was in a coffin at the mortuary. My heart felt as if it would burnt as I remombea-ed how I had told her I hated her like po-ison."
In Bantry Bay
In Bantry Bay NEWPORT 8TEAMEFTS STRANDING A Board of Trade inquiry, into the strand- ing of t.hoe Newport steamer Beggio (belong- in,g to the Orders and Handiford gompamy-) in Ban-try Bay on September 20 began at Newport Town-ball to-day. The justices were Mr. q s Martyn and Mr. M. Wheeler, the nautili assessors being Ca-pta-in Jenkin Thomas a?d Captain David Davies. Mr. R.  ? iHM?g oot?Tjd?d the inquiry on h?ha.H <? the Board of Tmde, Mr. Lyndon Moore ,pp,,r,od f? the ownom and Mr. A. T. Miller (im.truot,c-,q by Messrs. Miller, Son, and Taylor) fOr the master (Jenkin Jenkins), who was the QtlJy officer cited. The o W.&S built at Sunderland in 1503. She was 247ft. long, schooner-ri gged, with 8"wln"8 of 164 horse-power. She left Barry on a oeptenxi^j. 19 with 967 toss of ooal for ^ep™aveix. to coail the fleet. At 9.10 p.m. on Sunttay—-the following day—she struck on wltiat wag subsequently found to be Ca<r- K. 0-boal and remained fast. The sbip settled down comfortably on the rock, and the crew stood by her till the fol- lowing T-hlt,,dy The only signal of diis- tress tha.t the master to show (said for WiJlitn.s) was the burning of a flare for about an bour. The matter was reportoo by the coastguard to the Admiralty. Admiral P?tg-oti commanding at Queenstown, sent 8talfPta.i,n Wetiierall Smith in the dockyard tiig stormooak with considerable salvage plq,nt. But Capta-in Jenkins declined .assistance. M.r. G. n. Martyn (the presiding magis- trate) Lho you allege that in addition to the possibly default that no efforts were made to g*»t tihe ship off? I am going to put it that she migltt have been got off if prompt action bad been taken. Divers examined the wreck, a.nd his Majesty's ship Cumberland pro- ceeded to her as well as the salvage veeeel Lady of the Isles. But, as there was a sug- g-t-io.n of No cure no pay," nothing was done. v The Cap^jjj (jerbkwi Jenikins) said the vessel was equipped with the newest sailing directions, which wene purchased in Cardiff the da,y of gaiiiiig. Witness had never been up Bantry Ba.y before. When the boat gtranded he h,urned a flare light. He did not send up rocjjete because they had all been aporled, neither did he send a boat for asmint- a-Ttoe. it, was too far away, and the neighbourhood was too dangeorous. When his Majesty s sihip Cumberland passed the follow- ing morning, he did not give signals of dis- bec-am^ he thought it was all over. Witness did not decline to allow salvage operations to be carried out. The salvage yeigsera ooulfl have done what they liked. He aitftributed the st,randing to an error of judg- me-not on his part. He did not know anything of a eugg<titio-ii of "no cure no pa.y." M What the Captain Feared ine Captain, in answer to Mr. Miller, said he IIl<d sig-nals for telegrahing to his ow-ners at daylight on the day after the ship He did not decline salvage efforts, but his fear was that if the ship was got off in her then condition she would sink in d-oop water and they would all be dfowne^.

Portsmouth Officials Charged for the sevembb time the oaee in-wtecfa pro- minent officials of the portr,-uth Diotrict of Oddfellows are charged with faBiying the books of the district, conspiring with intent to defraud. and embezzling the moneys of the district, came on for hearing at Forte- mouth Police-court to-day- The prisoners were Henry Leonard Woodeaon, George Deem Birch, secretary and treasurer of the dis- trict, and Mrs. Kathleen Weioh^ Woodceon a married dau^ter. The tbtal alleged defal- cations ame estimated at £3.286. Another of the district auditors, John Warn, said he saw and examined a bank pass-book, which, however, did not have the came figures as shown in the bank paæ-book produœd. ^Wiiiiam Hea?h?. one of the &ud*tote who Ana?y Aisco?Qped th?t the a-tfa re ao??y w? wrong, em the bank Pdl&l?-book was not pro?n?d. and h?a?.nd ?_.??- ??tc<r r?fu?d to sign ? ba-laji???heet. Woodeton then said: There is great trouble in store for you, but I am not going to tell. Yon and youro will have to find it out for yourselves. "Witness asked Mrs. Welc-h if she knew where the missing money. had gone. She repMed: I don't know; I have always handed it over to father. Woodeeon, when questioned, sajd he backed all the money received art the district office, with the exception of small sums which he asked Bich to bank for him. At another meeting, when the auditors presented a report to the office tha-t they believed a ficticious bank pass-book was in exist/OTee, Woodeson replied: I am not prepared to say thta there has not been. "Made Good 11,000" Mx. Carter, one of the auditors, made some reference to a sum of S,400 which on a pre- vious occasion was missing, and Woodeecm. excla.imed:- I was the poor devil who who made it good; I have made good altogether over £ 1,000. After the audit Woodc-on was informed by the audit-ors tb..at they had discovered between L200 amd je300 missing- They told him of their discovery because Woodoaon had previously asked them to let him know the worst. The missing money all related to sums paid in at the district office odi account of re-paymentt of the prinoipa.1 and interest of mortag-age accounts. Woodesoo answered- My God, what are you talking about? My little black book -will prove that a-11 the monies I have received have been banked. Mrs. Welch, when informed of the auditor's diseoivery, exclaimed— 0 father! where is it gone? "STRAIGHT AS A NAIL." Woodeson promised to produce the bOOK a-nd also the counterfoils of the bank's pay- icg-in slips. He added that his wife kept his black book. and she was as straight as a nail, and would not rob anyone. (Proceeding).
The Right to Work
The Right to Work L.C.C. TAKE PRECAUTIONS Owing to disorderly scenes a-t the last weekly meeting of the London County I Oounoil. a number of additional police were on duty in the vinioity of Spring Gardens when the council resumed business to-day. The public, amongst whom were several men apparently of the unemployed class, were admitted to the galleries. j Mr. Frank Smith, secretary of the Right to Work Committee, who, on the last occa- sion desired to move a resolution on the subject of unemployment, and who came into conflict with the chairman, was the first member of the oounoil to arrive to-day. He early entered into conversation with the chaarma<n. At a meeting of delegates representing va.rious Labour, Socialist, and Trades Union, organisations in London last night, an executive commit.tee was formed to press for- wa.rd the rlght-to-work a-gitation in the Metropolis during the coming winter.

Wallabies' TourI
Wallabies' Tour OFF TO LONDON TO-MORROW The Wallabies will leave Cardiff for London by the 1.25 train to-morrow afternoon, and will play a Metropolitan team on Saturday. They have thirteen matches to play before they return to WaJes to play the in ter- no,t,ional match on December 12, a.nd they would retrieve very largely their lost laurels at Llanelly if they won all their English matches. Such a performance would be the best proof of their stamina and grit, and would invest the match with Wales with an interest that would scarcely be -affected by Llanelly's great victory. They will spend nearly the whole of Decem- ber in Wales, and after the Wales match will meet the Glamorgan Leae, Newport, Aber- tillery, Swansea, and Cardiff in the order given. Then on the 1st of January they will play France, and according to present arrangements, that will be the last matoob of their tou-r.
CARL ROSA AT CARDIFFI
CARL ROSA AT CARDIFF The Owl Rosa Opera Company, who have returned to OM-?iif for a week, opened on Monday with a splendid performa?= O.-f "Carmen," one which thoroughly sustained the traditions of the organisation. The pro- gramine for the week is representative of the best of their repertoire, and includes "Mari- tana," "Tannhauser," "Don Giovacni." and "11 Trova>tore." The company, with one notable exception, is very similar in person- ality to that which visited Cardiff about a year ago. That one exception is Herr Julius Walther, who, after many years association with Oarl Rosa, has parted company with them, much to the regret of the many atudents of opera who look forward to the ocaning of this company as a favourite annual event. His pla,c.e as prinoipal teuor is taken by Mr. Hanns Roberts, a singer who is new to Cardiff, but of whom many fine things are promised. In "Oarmeu," of course, the title part was taken by Miss Doris Woodall, who before has given in Cardiff her passionate and abandoned interpretation of the character. Miss WoodaJl is one of the beet "Carmens" which the Carl Rosa Ooaupe-ay has produced, aud on this occasion her acting was full of the force and audacity with which she has always endowed it. The richness a.nd depth of her voice, to which ner part gives a plenitude of opportunity, made her performance one to be well remem-bered "Miohaeba" was admirably presented by Madame Ina Hill, who is singing as well ao ever, and is expected to make another great g-ucoess of "Leonora" in "11 Trovatore,' a part in which she will ma.ke a first public appearance to her own public on Friday night.

" Cruel Prejudice "I
Cruel Prejudice I I MYSTERY OF A YACHT FtRE 40MCIAIL TO THE EVENING EXPRESS*"? At the CSaxton-hali, London, to-day the Board of Trade inquiry on the Oeylon was xesotmed. Mr. C. R. Dunlop addressed the court on behalf of Captain Webster, the owner and [ Tv^aatwr of the yaoht, and that that Mr. Hamilton, k.C., in his speech for the underwriters yesterday, rested his t case 4 an suspicion and on certain, aiteged diftorepan-oies in Captain Web- ster's evidence. It was a theory that the i owner out the water pipes in order to Slink I the yacht, and then, finding she was not sinking as rapidly as he desired, he set her on fire and abandoned her. That theory pre-saipiposod that the person accused of burning and ocutrtAmg the yacht. was a monster absolutely reckless of human life and rega-rdless of honour, a man who was -ready to commit murder amd possible suicide in the perpetration of a paltry fraud on the underwriters. Did the inspector find Captain Webster to be a monster ? He was a gentleman, and the son of a gentleman, and lie had merited the confidence of Lord Kitchener in the Soudan, and Lord Milner in South Africa, yet this was the man Mr. Hamilton had tttve effrontery tIO. aisk the inspector to call a lrar. It had been said they must consider the question of motive. The only motive suggested was the insurance money. That was merely a cruel and con- temptible prejudice. It was inconceivable that a man, rich beyond the ordinary dreams of avarice should run so immense a risk for so paltry a prize. Mr. Dunlop asked the magistrates to clear Captain Webster's character by saying there was no founda- tion for the charge that the pipes were out before the yaoht was abandoned, and that there was abundant ovidenoe to sihow that they were cut after the vessel had been brougiht to Southampton. Mr. Stuart. Moore (for the Board of Trade) said they were there to inquire as to the cause of the damage to the Yaobt, and he wished to dissociate himself from any sm-g- giestiom that he was there to inquire as to fupt¡a.in Webster's conduct. He thought it had been shown that the Board of Trade was perfectly justified in ordering the inquiry. So far as the Board had had deal- ings with Captain Webster, it was only flair to say that lie had given them every assis tanoe that had lain in his power. The inquiry then closed.

Football. I ITEMS OF INTEREST A in atten-daaoe to the advanta-go of the ama-tour game, is afforded in two "recent mtahes of tilie amateur aQd profee- «io»a,l Aaotra-lian Kugiby teams. At Neath, 18-st Tiiffrwi-ay, a day not ti bd-cx>mpa.red! witih a fciaAurday, the M'aottabiee attraoted a "gate" approaching £ 3b0. Salford, on Saturday the KaAgarooe" drew only a ffate w of the Wal- laJaios"" v. Uanelly ma<tc-h on Saturday if not yet announced, but is likely to be near -doubie that tailen at Salford. Tom Bvans, the IA",elly captain, played a wornierful game agrainst the Australians on Sfttmxiay. The barly constable ta-kee a lot -of gowing into condition, but the response bilities of captaincy have sharpened the international to a wonderful degree, and tie should be one of the first forwards to be •«eleot-ed for the international ga,mee. Lianelly people are expecting mnoh from Handel Bicbards, the young speed mercb"t. who scored the opening try in the ,tcl1 agt6inst titie Austraiians. In -addition- to reniarkabie pace the youngster haa real foot- ball aibility combined with pluck, almost approa-ohirvg- rasbnese. With a good centre ihe should go far in the game. The Oolonial teams wbo tour this country, are surprised at the dress affected by the referees on this side. Tbe ordinary Idnnge suit, and even stiff linen collar, worn by, some referees, is regarded with suspicion, as not conductive to keeping up with the ga,me. In the Colonies the referee looka more workmanlike in football knioks and, "white sweater, and is declaimed to be more wWh the game than his confrere in this conn try. I PONTYPOOL V. NEATH.
