Chartrrel Aspirants I WOLFFE INJURED AFTER A FAST SWIM I The steam yaolit Sea Wolf, with the swimmer, J. Wolff-a, a.nd his party on board, returned to Dcrver this morning. the at-tempt to swim across the Channel having failed after a remsurka-bly fast- swim. owing to an unfortunate aoaLdent when }x>eitio-n was most promising1. The swim. had been carried out in a fcs. which developed after the first two hours. After Woiffe had bee-n s nearly e-ig^ht hours he shc-nted to thoae on the accompany- ing j-acht that he had struck his leg against a piece of wreckage. Ti e blow wa £ evidently a severe one, and jits effect wss to make his leg practically pajoJy»9d %itd useless for swlmming. Wolffe ooatinued the swim for another half-hour, bat it was under greaA diffioulty, and at 12.15 he had to abandon the effor-L Just before this time the French mail steamer, from Dover for Calais, in the nigrht service, passod the swimmer, whose position apt the time wae eight miles off Calais. Wolffe had, therefore, got fourteen miles acro&s the Channel in a, swim Off eighlt hours and a cfu,arter-a very fine aooompLi--hm-ent, which had been materially assisted by the very dead tides. Another Aspirant I Mr. Ted Heaton, the superintendent of the Liverpool Corporation Baths, started an attempt to swim across the Channel this morning. This is Heaton's third attempt. In his previous best swim he got within four males of Calais. He entered the sea just west of Shakspeare Cliff at eight o'clock. On the accompanying tug, Champion, are a party of Lancashire friends and swimmers. including Mr. W. T. Burgees, the Yorkshire swimmer, who has made many attempts to swim across the Channel, including two of twenty and 23 hours' duration respectively last year. Heaton is again swimming under i the racing: ooiotrre of Colonel W. Hall Waiker, M.P. for the Widnes Division of Lancashire, who ? greatly interested in the Liverpool mail's attempt. At nine o'clock Heaton was a mile and a half on his course across the Channel, with the weather perfect, the foe which overhung the Channel last night having almost dis- persed. Heaton was in fine form, and swim- ming a very powerful stroke. There was only a very light breeze, and the eea calm. Wiring aA. 3.15, OUT Dover correspondent saysHeaton is reported to be still making- good progress on his swim towards France. The conditions remain excellent. The tide has been running- to the westwad for the last six hours, but the driftage is not heavy. Heaton's position is about mid-Channel, and his chan-cee are good.

ASSAULT ON A MOUNTAIN I David R. Williams (16), a collier, of Ynys- ddu, surrendered to his bail at Blackwood to-day, and was charged with assaulting Rachel Powell Nash, Myryddielvyn. at Cu-m- f,eiiiixiach on August 16. Mr. Treror Grdffifths, Blaxjkwood, defended Complainant, who gare her ct6-e as being sixteen, sta.ted that defendant followed her up the mountain as alie wa-s going home from Ynysddu, threw her down, and assaulted her. She screamed several times, and Pol ice-constable Phillips arrived on the scene just as defendant re- leased her. In cross-exam ina-tion, oom- pLaiiiiiaut denied waving her had to defen- dant and beckoning him to foll6w her. Defendant stated that it was in consequence of the girl beckoning to him that he fol- lowed her. She was a oonesenitiang party. The Bencih told defendant tha.t they did not believe a word of the evidence he had given, and they were determined to stop young men from molesting girls on their way home. Defendant would be fined L5, or one month.

DASHED TO PIT BOTTOM I PENYGRAIG HORROR Shaft Winding Accident 6 DEAD 22 INJURED I Men Caught in a Trap I EMPTY CAGE DROPS ON FULL ONE. Marvellous Escapes HEARTRENDING SCENES I A terrible cage accident occurred this norniug at the Ely pit of the Cambrian Jombine, Penygraig, resulting in the death of six men, while at least seven others were very seriously injured and about fifteen more or less hurt. It appears that a double bond cage full of men was descending the shaft and an empty cage was ascending. "\) hen the former was near the bottom of the shaft a bar of the reversing gear broke, with the result that the descend- ing cage was precipitated with terrific force to the bottom. The damage, however, was done through the ascending cage coming with great force into contact with the sheaves, which resulted in the rope being snapped, I and the empty cage crashed down to the pit bottom, a depth of about 400 yards, the engine-driver being helpless in the I direction of stopping the engine or doing anything to avert the calamity. The descending cage crashed through the top of the cage at the bottom, and nearly all the men in the upper bond were fearfully injured, in addition to those killed, the poor fellows meanwhile i being imprisoned in the cage below and unable to move until the shackler opened the doors in the ordinary course. The men in the lower bond fared very much better, as the terrific downward progression of the second cage was im- peded by coming in contact with the top. Mr. D. Watts Morgan, miners' agent, who was preparing to attend a meeting at Cardiff, heard of the terrible affair before starting, and he at once left Porth for the scene of the catastrophe.

Reverent Silence j PATHETIC PITHEAD SCENES. j The pithead was deserted about midday, except by the workmen engaged in repairs. Ely is one of the oldest collieries in the lihondda, and engages about 820 men. Originally it was worked by a oompany, but was afterwards taxen over by the Cambrian Colliery Trust, when the big combine was brought about. At the Pandy Pit, however, where the bodies of the dead, together with the injured men were brought to bank, thousands of people assembled from all parts of the valley, but good order was kept by Inspector liall and his men. A reverent silence prevailed as the dead men were carried to their homes by their com- rades. and it was a pathetic sight to witness women following their husbands as they were carried home on stretchers. The sufFeruigs of the injured were c-om. Hiderably reWeved by the presence of ambu- lance men on the spot. Not Expected to Live j Drs. P. R. Llewellyn, G-abe Jonea, Alfred Jones, and Weichart descended the pit | and attended the injured men. Dr. Llewellyn j stated that four of the men who were sent to hospital were suffering from compound frac- tures, while amputations would be necessary in four or five cases. The most seriously in- jured is Harry Marshall, who sustained a Iracture of the base of the skull, and he is not expected to recover. All the occupants of the cage suffered injury either in the torm of bruising or shock, but seven or eight oases are more serious. Piteous Moans and Groans I s The men who escaped relate their terrible I Experiences in the darkness. The moaning 1 Uid groa,ning of the poor fellows as they fealised their absolute helplessness was X^-othing piteous. anid Daviee, in an interview, said the loene was one beyond description. First of itil came tlie big thump down to the bottom, and they were already rendered quite dis- tracted, when they vere horrified by the empty oago crashing through with tremen- dous fore.,3 oa top of the one in which they wore imprisoned, and their being in total darkness added to the terrible experiences of all concerned. When ultima,tely light was brought to the cage, about tbe firet thing he saw was a bone protruding from the thigh of his brother, David Davies. You could see the naked bom," he said, "right through his troLsers." So painful were they all that any movement on the part of anybody or anything caused the, hole of them to groan piteonely. ff Something Horrible I Phil Pascoe, who, perhaps, was the least ) injured of tho lot, was equally graphic in his account of what ceovrred, Fortunately, ■ he had only a slight shock, and was the first to give succour to his comrades. But the j beartrending screams," he said, were some- thing horrible. We were then at the bottom of the pit, and 6 had passed through some of the timbering, which prevented us being hurled down the sump. At last the i ihavkler earner and I wae able to baud out I I- after man, and the- experience was one I shall never forget." I Directors' Sympathy Mr. Leonard Llewellyn, the general manager, is on a holiday in Scotland, and Mr. Trevor Price, the assistant general manager for the Cambrian combine, is in -charge. Mr. P. A Thomas, M.P. (chairman of the combine), together with Mr. T. J. Callaghan (director) and Ifr. C. A. Pullin (secretary), on hearing of the disaster, hurried up from Cardiff to the scene. Mr. Thomas, on b-ehalf of the directors, desires, through the "Evening Express," to convey the deepest sympathy of the directorate with the injured men and the relatives of the deceased work- men. Cause of the Accident Mr. Fred. A. Gray (chief inspector of mines' and Mr. F. J. Trump (assistant inspector) were also present, and had a consultation with the officials. Mr. Gray said he preferred mt to give an official report as-to the cause of the accident. It transpires, however, that the actual cause was th-a breaking of the spanner bar of the reversing gear. Mr T. Price, the assistant general manager, said that the immediate cause of the accident was over-winding, but what was the originating cause it was too soon to say. He wanted to make it explicit 24 men were involved in the mishap, as far as the occupants of the cage were concerned. The other four men who had been injured must have bad their injuries through splinters or some debris falling upon them on the surface when the empty cage struck the sheaves. "Down Like a Stone i nomas D. Thomas, a collier, of 34, Peny- graag-road, who was in the cage descending to work, said the first intimation he had of anything being wrong was a jerking of the cage. For a few seconds it swung about, and then went down like a stone to the bottom of the shaft. "We did not know exactly what had happened, but thought the sides of the shaft were falling in suddenly, and with a rush the empty bond was taken to the top, then came down with a crash, and was smashed to atoms. It was posit^jely miracu- lous that any of us escaped with our lives. The horror of being in the pitchy dark- ness was awe inspiring. I thought my end had come, and being a widower, my first thought was for the four children depending upon rie, the oldest being not yet fourteen. Lights were loudiy called for, but could not be obtained for the moment, owing to the danger of an explosion. AVI 1 en they were procured a terrible spec-taolc. presented itself. Men were scattered about in all direc- tions, some being in such agony that they Screamed with Pain when touched. The inj ured called despair- ingly for water, and the whole scene was something heartrending. There were plenty of men in the workings, who, at great risk to themselves, commenced the work of rescue. Dr. Llewellyn, with a rescue party, was soon on the spot, with ambulance and medical appliances, having descended by the shaft of the Pandy Pit. It will be some time," con- cluded Mr. Thomas, "before I can return to work. My back is bad, iny hand and foot crushed, a.nd the shock has quite unnerved me. Amputations The four men in Porth Cottage Hospital are: Thomas John Davies, T. J. Morgan, W. Thomas, and Thomas Morris, all eufiPeriag from fractures. The firs»■ named had his thigh amputated, and the second his arm. Amputations will be necessary in the cases of the other two. It is started, that Harry Marshall has ftinee succumbed to his in juries. Five Men on Top of Him William Fry, who, with his son, David John Fry, was in the cage, when interviewed this afternoon as he lay in bed said:—"It came all so sudden. We went down like a stone. It was all over in a moment. We were huddled up together, and there were five men on top of me with broken bones and all sorts of injuries. I tried my best to extricate my- self, but could not do &o. It was pitch dark, and our senses were really knocked out of us. so that I doubt very much if any of us can give an authentic aooount of what did occur. It was the groaning and shoruting of the men in the two decks that made us first realise the nature of the catastrophe of which we were the victims. It was, I think, through being under the other men that I got. my injuries, and I had to stay in this position for so long a time that I was numbed and helpless by the time I was taken out."

Mauretania's Mails I 1,276 BAGS FOR FISHGUARD 200 Passengers to be Landed I [BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] I New York, Friday.-It is evident that, the facilities for quick transit offered by the new [Fishguard route in connection with the Cuna,rd service are appreciated by the postal officials and the travelling public alike. I learn from a wireless message sent from the Mauritania, which left on Wednesday last, that 1,276 mail bags will bo landed at Fishguard, while over 200 of the passengers will disembark there. G.W.R. DIRECTORS & OFFICIALS i Arrangements for Monday's Event On Sunday evening seventy-five directors and officials of the Great Western Railway Company will arrive at Fishguard Harbour by special train to witness the arrival of the ifuretania on the following day. Arrange- ments for their accommodation overnight are being made aboard the steamer fcaint George. As soon as the Mauretania is signalled from Strumble Head, the Fishguard lifeboat will be launched and proceed to sea. The road from the Fishguard Bay Hotel to the Harbour Station is being lined with flag- staffs. It is anticipated the lighthouse will be decorated. Theteuder Smeaton has arrived from Plymouth, and will be used for mails. The tender Drake will convey passengers and baggage will be dealt with by the Water- ford steamer. Great Western. Lord and Lady Roberts, accompanied by Miss Roberts, arrived yesterday, and stopped at the Bay Hotel. This morning they inotore to St. David's, returning in time to catch the afternoon's boat for Bosslajre en route for Lismore.

BUDGET AND LICENSING I Amendments to licensing duties of the Budget put down by the Chancellor of the' Exchequer were issued to-day among Par- liamentary paperis. Mr. Lloyd George's new proposals have a scale of duties as regards fully-licensed houses originally drafted with the exception that to meet the case of hotels the duty where receipts from the sale of intoxicating liquors are less than one-third of the total receipts :s reduced from 33 per cent. of the annual compensation value to 25 per cent. An important change is made in respect to clubs, the duty being placed on purchases of intoxicating liquors ihstea3 of on sales, and being raised in consequence of its fallong on wholesale instead of retail prices from M. to fid. in the £ There is a new graduation in the case of spirit and wine retailers' licences in favour of premises of small annual value. The scale of duties with regard to beer off-licences is struck out, the substitution of a separate system of valuation being under consideration.

DON'T SLEEP IN THE TRAIN I Charged at Barry Police-court to-day with travelling on the lierry Railway without a proper ticket, William Yernom said that he had a drop of drink, fell asleep in the car- riage, and when he reached Barry Dock bad no money to pay the excess fare from Cadox- ton. He was fined 5s., or eeven days.

En-i-ly to-day a pit labourer, named Samuel Bond, residing at the back of the Musical Hall Inn, Penydarren, sustained dangerous injuries to his head and body owing to a "fall" from the roof whilst fol- lowing his employment at No. 1 Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Guest, Keen, and Nettle- folds (Limited). I

Music Hall 8ketches MR. STOLL GIVES EVIDENCE. Important Suggestions The Speaker of the House of Com-ons (the Right Hon. James Lowther) to-day was the first witness before the Censorship of Stage Plays Committee, which again sat at the House of Lords, Mr. Herbert Samuel (Chan- cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster) presiding. The Speaker, in reply to the Chairman remarking on the control of the House of Commons over the actions of the Lord Cham- berlain, said the Lord Chamberlain's salary was borne on the Civil List, which did not come within the cognisance of the Committer of Supply. The Chairman: Is there any manner in which the House of Commons can bring I under review the action of the Lord Cham- I berlain ? The Speaker. It is always open to the House of Commons to consider a motion with special reference to the Lord Chamberlain, either upon bis general administration or adminis- tration in particular, but that must be donk by special notice, and that notice must be given. The Lord Chamberlain (the witness added) stood in the same position as one of his Majesty's judges or the Lord Chancellor, the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, or the Speaker and a certain class of the great l officials of the State whose conduct could be reviewed by the House of Commons after I notice had been given in a formal and proper manner. "The Mkado" I The Speaker went on to say that questions were put about "The Mikado" last year, and in 1900 them was a question about the "Secrets of the Harem," which, it was sup- posed, would be likely to give offence to the Sovereign of a friendly Power, and was pro- hibited. Questioned by the Chairman as to the respective responsibilities of the Lord Cham- berlain to the House of Commons and the Honse of Lords, the Speaker replied: I would not like to be answerable for tHe House of Lords as they do very curious things there. (Laug'hter.) There,, is certainly no Minister representing' the Lord Chamberlain in the House off Commons. The Chairman: Do you think the censor- ship should be maintained, or abolished, or placed int-o their hands? I The Speaker: I am in favour of main- taining it. If there is a case for quarrel over it at all it is that the censorship is too lax and should be tightened up. The Lord Chamberlain should really iinstruct the examiner of plays to be a little more cautious. Some of the adaptations of French farces have been, I will not say verging upon the improper, but rather they have ogne over the border. I Mr. Stoll Gives Evidencel I IMPARTIAL SUGGESTIONS I Mr. Oswald Stoll, the managing director of the Moss Empires (Limited) was then called In reply to the Chairman, he said he had 25 years' experience of the music-ha.11 business, a.nd the company he controlled paid in wages every year to artistes L350,1,)CD, and to other persons connected with tli* company's hails £ 147,000. The Chairman: The sketches which axe now produced in music-halls employ a very large number of persons? Witness: Yes, about 3,000 persons. The agreement with regard to sketches which has been arrived at between the managers of the musio-halls and the managers of the theatres is apparently not altogether satisfactory. The solution of the difficult recommended in 1892 should be given a course of Itegislation, for, alth&ugh managera of theatres may be reasonable and refrain from prosecution, it is open to the informer to obtain a convic- tion against the music.-halh for any perform- ance of a sketch; and, althcwgh it is' supposed to limit a sketch to thirty minutes in per- formance, it is impossible to limit a sketch to any particular time. The forty minutes allowed by the 1892 Committee aflfyrds a rea- sonable margin of time. You ask to be allowed to perform sketches which will last forty minutes ?—That is so. You prefer that to complete liberty to produce what-ever you like?—I do. Do you find on the Continent that they are continually ohanging from a variety to a theatrical entertainment in the same hall?- Yes; they are giving alternately an inferior music-hall performance and an objectionable theatrical performance. Are you not arguing that the law should step in and prevent the public getting- what it wants?—I hardly think so. because the superfluity put on is not what they may want. Do you think that forty minutes is the sacred line they should not go beyond?—I think forty minutes for a sketch is quite sufficient. Do you think that a music?aH audience would want to see a play of a.n hour or an hour and a half?—I do not. Therefore, a music-hall should keep to a variety entertainment?—I think so As a matter of fact, some music-halls have two licences?—Yes. Do you not find them changing from one form of entertainment to another?—A num- ber of houses in pai-ticu-lar towns do ohange frequently from drama to variety. (Proceeding.)

DOWNING STREET INCIDENTI Batch of Suffragettes in Court I The adjourned police-court proceedings against the eight suffragettes who were arrested on Thursday week in connection with the picketing of the residence of the Premier in Downing-street created unusual interest at Bow-street to-day. Eight defen- dants were before the court: Edith Cra/nstoun, Irene Tillard, Charlotte Deepard, Anne Oobden Sanderson, Lilian Martha Hicks, Lillie Boilean, Marian O. Carrington Hyde, and Janet Legate Butler, and they were charged before Mr. Curtis Bennett with obstructing the police in the execution of their duty. Mr. T. M. Healy, K.O., M.P., appeared with Mr. D. Owen Evans for the defendants, and Mr. Gorvoaise Itentoul for the Women's Freedom League. THE EVIDENCE I Superintendent Wells said that on the after- noon of Thursday week he went to Downang- street, in company with Inspector Jarvis, and there saw the defendants Cranston and Tillard standing near No. 10. He asked the defendants if they were pickets for the Freedom League, and upon being answered in the affirmative he told them they would haVleto go away. One of them said, "It was legal to stand there yesterday, why not to- day?" Witness replied, "It was illegal yes- terday and is illegal txxDay, and you must please go away. Unless you do so, I shall have to arrest you." The two defendants said they would not go away unless they were arrested. They refused to go away, and they were taken into custody. Mr. Healy raised the question as to whether the defendants, who had no intention of obstructing the police, could be heM respon- sible for any obstruction that occurred. He contended that they dlid not go there to obstruct, and that. therefore, the intention was material. Mr. Curtis Bennett said that intention had certainly something to do with the matter. "These ladies got to Dowmng-street day by day, they are warned by the police that they are creating an obstruction, and, therefore, if they insist, it is intentional obstruction." After evidence as to other arrests, Super- intendent Wells was cross-examined by Mr. Healy. He could not say whether they would be allowed to stand if they declared they were there to serve a writ upon the Prime Minister. The police had the right to prevent the Prime Minister being molested. The defendants had no document entitling them to stay. Other evidence of arrest was given, and it was stated that at one time there was a cordon of police across the end of Downing- street. A constable described the incident of the cardboard box as the Prime Minister drove uo in a cab. He stated Miss Borleau said, "Mr. Asquith, Mr. Asquiti, we have been waiting six weeks. Take this." She raised her arm in the act of throwing the case, which was dropped, and it rolled into the gutter. Witness had secured the lady, but released her on the instructions of the in- spector. Suffragettes Released I All the seven dfcifEragettes sentenced at Liverpool on Tuesday for breaking windows and doing other damage on the occasion of Mr. Haldane's visit have been released from Walton Gaol, owing to their emaciated con- dition brought on by their refusal to take food or stimulant since their imprisonment. One woman was released on Wednesday night, four yesterday morning, and the remaining two. Miss Rona Robinson. of Manchester, and Miss Annie O'Sullivah. of London, later in the day. The women were in a state of collapse, and were liberated on the recommendation of the prison doctor. They are receiving every attention, and are expected to -recover in a ?few day&

FLABBERGASTED & Story of a Police Raid INSURANCE SECRETARY CHARGED "Improper House at St. John's Wood ? [SPECIAL to THE EVENING EXPRESS."] Further sensa-tion-al evidence was given in London to-day at the resumed prosecution against Mr. Percy Baldwin Smith, assistant- secrefta-ry of the Law, Car, and General Insurance Corporation (Limited), for the alleged fmproper management of his residence at St. John's Wood, a iiighly-respectaWe resi- dential district. His Italian man servant, Andre Carte!]ini, was charged with assisting in the management of the house. Defendant entered into occupation on Julr 16, and almost immediately afterwards complaints were made about the conduct of the place. The police evidence was to the effect that when observation was kept on the house during the last week of July, between the hours of seven p.m. and two a.m., twenty-two couples were seen to enter and fifteen to leaye. Of these two were admitted by Mr. Smith, ten by Cartellini, four admitted them- selves, and the remaining &ix were let in Uy j someone who could not be tseen. In cross-examination, Mr. Smith said the only people who entered his house during that period were himself, his wife, mother, father-in-law, two sisters-in-law (aged 13 and 15), his brother-in-law, and the parlourmaid. Since the case commenced, continued defen- dant, a gentleman upon whose complaint watch was set on the house, had pressed himself upon him (defendant), and now de- sired to give evidence for the defence. Mr. Parmer (for the prosecution): Do you suggest that the whole of the evidence is a concoction?—It is absolutely false. Then you say he has committed perjury?— Yes. My own relatives have been mistaken. The police went to the house expecting that it was full of people, and they were so flabbergasted at what thev found that _u'[D ALL EXCITED I and made mistakes. i Prior to going to this house, added defen- dant, he resided in a flat with his wife and mother. His mother's name was Mrs. Fawten. But that is your father-in-law's name," explained counsel with astonishment. "Then is she his wife?"—That is so. Then you have married Paw ton's daughter and Fawten has maaried your mother :-Tha.t is so. And you have married your Btep-sdeter?— Yes. JUr. Smith said his mother was married to Mr. ■^aw^en t-welve years ago in Australia. The Magistrate remarked that it was very strange that his mother should be liying at his housse when her own home with Mr. Fawten was only three minutes' walk away. Asked if his father was dead. defendant replied that lie was and was in Aus- tralia. That makes the marriage story still morre complicated," observed Mr. Farmer. Then are your father and mother divorced?"—I understand so. To this, however, Mr. Smith would not swear, nor to the marriage between his I mother and Fawten. (Proceeding.)

Wanted a Kiss" I SENSATIONAL BARCOED CASE I Struggle in a Bedroom Described I A case in which somewhat exciting ex- periences of a womam were heard at Hengoed to-day. It was one in which Timothy Sulli- van (jO), a Bargoed timberman, was charged with unlawfully wounding his wife, Jane Ellen Sullivan, on August 19. Complainant said she was in bed on the I morning of the 19th inst., and prisoner came to her and asked her to forgive h?m. They had been quarrelling all the ) ?eek. He now Mked her to give him 1: k: ??"el refused, stating she could not forgive in al, minute. Prisoner thereupon pulled out a- pocket-knife and, putting his wife on her back on the bed, stabbed her nve times in the breast and left side. He then tried to bring the knife across her throat, but it was not sharp enough. Witness shouted "Murder," and her mother came and caught prisoner by the wrist just when he was about to draw the knife across her throat. A struggle followed, in which all three took part, and when they reached the land- ing, a neighbour came in and assisted them, and complainant managed to escape. They bad been married eight years, but had never lived happily. They had two children. Her husband was "imlous-minded" of her, afftd accused her of going with other men amd sand certain things about her. Ellen Evans, complainant's mother, said -that while in the backyard she heard hsr daughter scream, Mam, he is murdering me." Witness ran upstairs, and saw prisoner with & knife in his hand, and her daughter on her back in bed. A struggle ensued, and witness had a stab in the breast and out on the wrist. A Mrs. Rees came in, and enabled complainant to got free from the clutches of ■prisoner, who had hold of her by the blouse. Prisoner went out, and returned later, ood onmwhed tale door and window. The police eventually came. Mrs. M. J. Rees corroborated the substan- tial part of Mrs. Ellen Evans' evidence. Police-conetable W. Williams said that on the Thursday in question he saw prisoner in Henry-fctreet with a stick in his hand smash- iing the windows. Witneos took him into custody, and in reply to the charge of un- lawfully wounding hig wife, prisoner said, "I have nothing to say to it." He was very excited and violent when arrested. Prisoner, in a long statement to the bench, said he never intended doing any harm to his wife. He was vexed because she was out late the previous night, and she was annoyed because he had not gono to work and refused Ibo bring him a drink of water. She said she would not live with him, a-s all the love she bad for him had been given to another man. "No, Tim," she said, "I shan't go to live with you, for all the love I had for you has been given to another man." She was going to live with that man. Prisoner was committed to the cluarter sessions.

National Artiliery FINE SHOOTI-NCBY CLAMORCAN I The select companies of Territorial Gar- rison Ax-U ?ey fired t*Aay ,t Wa?d?n Point Isle of Wight, in the annual competition for the King's and Prince of Wales's prizes. Fir- ing wae with 6-inoh guns in groups of two guns at a target representing a vessel towed across the sea distant over 3,600 yards. Five companies competed. The first to fire were Essex and Suffolk, followed by Dorset, Glam- organ, the North Scottish, and East Riding Companies. Tho weather conditions were favourable. The Glamorgan Royal Garrison Artillery shot third, following the Dorset men, at ten oclock. They made the finest shooting wit- nessed during the morning, and one shot carried awa-y the towing rope of the target. Their first two shots were over, the first being 120 yards over, but the gunners promptly remedied this, so that the next shot was only thirty yards over. The next shot was "minus," being forty yards shoot. Too next was very close, being about fifteen yafrds over, and the next shot was obsolutely "range." After this the gunners, still shoot- ing with fine direction, went over eighty yards with their next shot, and over forty with their next. Their next two shots were both thirty yards over, and the next went 120 over. It was improved to thirty yards over with the next shot, but the last three shots were 250 yards over, 100 yards over, and 200 yards over. These distances were sig- nalled from the towing tug to the battery after the detachment had completed its course In the first series the Eaet Biding Royal Garrison Artillery made splendid shooting, scoring eleven hits. The Glamorgan men were next best. In the second series the Glamorgan Boyal Garrison Artillery fired neaTly all their shots short of the target, but the firing was very good, the direction being capital. They were 45 yards short with their first shot, 50 yards over with their second, 45 yards short with their third, 60 yards over with their fourth, 55 yards short with their next, 90 yards short to their next, 180 yards short with their next, 180 yards short with their next, 200 yards short with their next, 250 yards efcort wit. their next, 130 yards short with their next, 250 yards short with their next, 130 ards short with their next, 250 yards short with their next, 300 yards, short with their next, 300 yards short with their next, 60 yards short with their next, and 1U yards short with their last shot.

DOCTOR-CYCLIST KILLED At SpwrMrill, Birmingham, fcute last night a young doctor, named DalrympJe, acting as locum tenens for a Sparkhill practitioner, was cycling along the StraAford-ooad behind an electric tram-car, when, in turning towards a side street, he collided with the car coming in the opposite direction. He was thrown from the machine and killed instanrtJty. •f

THE WELSH SPRINTI ————— 0- ————— RECORD IN ACCEPTANCES I The Official List I [SPECIAL TO THENING EXPRESS."] I ECOPYRIGHT.3 I If an acceptance of 100 from an entry of 136 is any criterion at all, then it is well within reason to predict that the Welsh Pedestrian Athletic Carnival, which will take place at the T-aff Yale Park, Pontypridd, on the 4th and 6th of September next, will prove to be one of the very finest athletic meetings ever held in any part of the United Kingdom. Notwithstanding the huge acceptance list, we cannot think of any similar event that- has brought together such a galaxy of class I sprinters as the names that appear in the list below. Our readers will note also tha.t every yard in the handicap is represented among the acceptances—a fact which should go far to maintain the interest of previous I years. Pottle, the wrrld's premier sprinter, from r whom the ]i;andaea,p has been framed, is once again in the country, and has announced himself as certain to compete. No one was more disappointed than Postle himiself in being unable to do himself justice last year —as the result of a breakdown in his final trial—and ro sanguine was he, he could have won last year's sprint had he been right that he has prolonged his stay in England for the special purpose of competing a,a: next moruth. and by producing romething like his true form, and thereby show how far he was oor cot in the opinion he held of being able to have won in 1906. Whether or no, Postle will realise his ambition by win- ning: a AYelsh sprint remains to be seen. We venture to say he has something before him. In any case, he is positively certain to put up such a perform-anee that he has never been witnessed in the Principality. A New Name. I A new name that figures in the list of acceptances is. C. E. Holway, of America, who during the paet four weeks has been undergoiiLg a propa.r-a.tion from the Station Iwtàl, Blackpool. Holway is a typical Yankee. standing six feet height, and, a-lthough somewhat- slow in the early stages of a race, his finishing power may be described as tremendous. Barr, of Booths-town, off 6J, and A. J. "-r- fcide, of Edinburgh, off 8, are also new acceptors. The latter will be better known aÆ; the lad who won the Scotch PowderhaJl in 1903. ILis victory is regarded as the finest coup engineered since the inception of the New lear Handicap, eo that if it were only for this fact alone his finst appearance on a Welsh track should prove mi-cresting. The name cf G. Bailey, of Saiford, will be well remembered by Welsh sportsmen as the runner-upv to A. J. Graham, Cardiff, in 19c.5. The Cardifiian won by inches. Bailey has tent in his a-cceptajnce, and this will be his lu-si appearance in Pontypridd since his &en.sat<iünal defeat by Graham. Then, again. we note that G. M. Dorell, of Stourbridge, the amateur Midland crack, has decided to make his debut as a pro. in the Welsh sprint. For a runner of his class, we regard his mark as a very good one, and I we will not be in the least surprised to see him run very prominently. Growoott, Day, Eastman, and Todd. of Australia have notified their intention of being certain sta-iteas. So also has James Muir, of Edinburgh, who in 1904 won the Powderhall Handicap, and only failed by ir-ches to win this same evetn again last 1.-13.r. Surely, then, the Welah Pedestrian Ca nival of 19C9 should eclipse all previous records from every standpoint. From its inception each year has proved more attrac- tive than its predecessors, and although we have not forgotten last year's great meet- ing, with its huge attendance and brilliant finishes in the different events, we do not hesitate to predict that next September meeting will surpass anything of its kind lK'l.d in any part of the country. We are informed that eleven entries which came to handaioor the publication of the starts in the "Evening Express" of the 14th inst. were returned as too late. The man- agement regret having to do so, but in fair- ness to the other competitors, who observed the date of closing for receiving entries, it was felt there was no other alternative.
