Ran Away with Bride GO YEARS LATER MAKES AMENDS IN WILL A most extraordinary will has been proved ii Blairstown, in the State of New Jersey. The testator bequeathed L2,000 to the man hoee bride he had stolen in early life. Fifty years ago this month James Butler, a prosperous merohant of Blairstown, cap- tnred the affections of Mrs. Joseph Kithkart, -ho had been married a few days before. Ere the honeymoon was over she deserted Kithkart, married Butler, and went further West to live. Butler prospered, but never forgot the wrong he had inflicted upon his old friend and neighbour. When Butler's will was read it was found to contain a clause that, in order to make amends for the wrong he had done, he desired to leave £ 2,000 to the girlhood husband of Mrs. Butler. The wife will carry out the provisions of the will, but is not likely to marry Kithkart over again, as he is now nearly 80 years of age.

THE POLICE PUZZLED. We really don't know what to do with him," e.aid Inspector Bingham at Cardiff Police-court to-day when Henry Hennessey (48) was charged by Detective Ooombas with begging in Gloucester-street. He is stone rlaf, he cannot plead, and cannot do any- thing. He has become a perfect nuisance. He makes use of very bad language, and hammers the doors of houties if the people don't answer. Acting on the advice of the learned stipendiary we refrained for a. long while from doing anything, but his conduct was so bad that we had to look him up. He has been before the court 29 times." Mr. Joseph Howard (chairman): Well, we are very sorry, but we can't do anything with you. You are discharged.

"THE HOUSING PROBLEM" Matthew Barry was charged at Merthyr f-o-day with leaving his two children ohargeable to the cooaonon fund of the union. Air. Llewellyn Richards, wartant officer, ea.id i-hat one of the chiJdren had been charge- able since 1908. and there was now due Ju46 4s. Prisoner had been &ent to gaol twice. Defendant said he had been trying to get a house, but had found it impossible to find one. The Clerk: It would not take t.wo years for a decent man to get a house. Mr. Pichards: He doesn't try to make a home. Prisoner was given three months' imprison- ment.

[ Plucky Cardiff Boy I I STOPS A RUNAWAY HORSE. I Edgar Hancock, the nineteen-year-old son of lfr. Frank Hancock, 'bus conductor in the employ of Messrs. Andrews and Son, Cardiff, to-day distinguished himself for promptitude I and oourage, and he is now suffering from the effects of his heroic efforts. It appears that a horse and vehicle belonging to Mr. Naish, wholesale confectioner, was being driven in Penarth-road, and near Sully Motor Works the horse took fright and bolted. Hancock ran after the runaway, and, taking hold of the reins, was knocked down and dragged some distance, with the reins entangled about his legs, and two of ITe wheels passed over the small of his back. He was taken to the infirmary, and thence was removed home to 12, Penarth-road, where he is making good progress. Hie injuries, happily, are so slight that it is not necessary for him to go to bed.

I LOCAL SPORT I To the Editor of the Evening Express." Sir,—I was very pleased to see the remarks of Spokes in Saturday's "Evening Express" re Davies and Day's handicap at Pontypridd last Monday, and I am at one with the writer in his remarks. Why not run the half-mile handicap next Saturday in one beat, seeing that there is a half-mile provided for? I feel sure if the scratch men had the choice they would have it in one heat. I purpose being present on Saturday next, and probably would have been a competitor but for the fact that the half-mile will be run in heats. I trust the Pontypridd syndicate will be pre- vailed upon to make one heat of nT and so give many sportsmen an opportunity of at least seeing one final in the big meeting, as doubtless there are many, like myself, who cannot be present both days. Trusting that it is not too late to arrange it now.-I a-m, &0.. SPORTSMAN.

POLICE-OFFICER AS COSTER I The story of an ingenious police disguise was related at Lambeth on Saturday, when George Hudson, aged 31, described as a dealer, was fined JE30 and costs for keeping and using a yard for betting purposes. A police- sergeant who was engaged in keeping obser- vation on the yard said that each day he drove a donkey barrow as close as the yard as possible to see what was happening. He made his notes on the barrow. Defendant said that he had done a. little betting tn the street for the lac-t two months, but had never used the yard for betting purposes. It was stated for the police, however, that one officer saw 206 persons enter the yard, and another 193. on certain days, defendant receiving slips and money from a large number of persons. Many of the slip's, it was said, referred to sixpenny bets. The magistrate said he had nothing to say to defendant except that the case was too plain for words.

I A STAGGERING REPLY I When Florence Emily Phillips or Morgan was charged by Detective Chappie with bad language in Bute-street at Cardiff Police- court to-day she declared that she desired to C,&Il Elizabeth Williams (18), who was also a prisoner on a similar charge. "Did I use bad language, Lizzie?" asked Florence when the other prisoner was sworn. "To my knowledge, you did!" was the staggering reply of lizzie, who, however, denied that she herself had used any. Each prisoner was fined 5a. and costs or seven days.

To Cook Marrows I Many people dislike white cooking of any kind. Cut a piece out of the marrow, peel, and remove all seeds and pith. Cut into thin slices, and boil in milk and water, adding a large onion and a lump of salt. When the marrow is nearly done, drain it. and put into a clean saucepan- with a lump of butter, some good brown gravy, and cinnamon to taste. When all is thoroughly heated, pour in a thickening of mushroom ketchup and flour. Boil one minute. Saad to table upon toast, around which lay little heaps of fried, dice- shaped pieces of bread.

More Records Broken I AMERICA WINS CORDON-BENNETT CUP There was a great influx of visitors for the aerial ra.ces at Rheirns on Saturday, as the programme included, from an interna-tional point of view, the principal event of the meeting This was the first contest for the Gordon-Bennett Aviation Cup, which, follow- ing the lines of the Gordon-Bennett motor races, was open to teams of three from any country. Only France, however, was in a position to nominate a full team, America and England having but one representative each. The competitors had been selected as follows; — FRANCE. Competitor Machine. Motor. Lefebvre Wright Biplane Wright. Bleriot.Bleriot Monoplane E.N.V. Latbom Antoinette M'plane An-toineftte. AMERICA. Ourtiss.Herring Curtiss Biplane.Curtiss. ENGLAND. Cockburn Farman Biplane Gnome. Curtiss was the first to start in the GOrdon- Bennett race. The distance was two laps, or 20 kilometres. He covered his first circuit in 7min. 57 2-5see., and the full distance in 15min. 50 3-5 see. He, therefore, covered his second round in 7min. 53 1-5&&C., which was faster than the record which he had made earlier in the day. Curtiss's performance was not beaten, the three French representa- tives being next in order, and the Englishman failing to complete the course. The cup, value £ 500, and the money prize of £1.000, therefore, went to America. The result was as follows: — Psn. Competitor. Nation. Time. 1. Curtiss America. 15min.503-5sec. 2. Bleriot Francre. 15min. 56 1-9800. 3. Latham France 17min. 32 sec. 4. Lefebvre France 20min. 47 3-5seic. Mr. Henry Farman, holder of the worm s records for distance and duration, accom- plished i remarkable performance by ocver- ing a lap, with two passengers up, in lomin. 39sec. Englishman's Machine Wrecked Mr. Cockburn had done about a quarter of the course and was flying fairly low so as to lose no speed in rising and falling move- ments, when a sudden gust of wind-the beginning of a much fresher breeze, as it afterwards proved—swept down upon him. His machine reeled. With rapid movement of his levere he attempted to restore equilibrium, but the falling movement was too quick for him. The machiine sloped awkwardly towards the ground. Despite his efiforte he made a had descent, breaking a propeller and doing other minor damage. England was out of the great contest. Soon after this disaster M. Lefebvre rose gracefully and literally fought with the wind. It was a forlorn hope. His per- formance was splendid, but the wind checked speed sadly. The time of his first round was flashed to the press box. Jt was several seconds too long to approach winning speed. On the second round he forced his engine to utmost speed, in an attempt to win back the premier position for France. He sped twice round the course without a faltering movement, but his speed seemed to be much less than that of Mr. Curtiss. This proved to be the case by his official time, for he took five minutes longer on the two cir- cuits than the American flying man. I Accident to Bleriot M. Bleriot met with a serious accident yester- day morning whilst competing for the speed prize. Starting off well, he soon attained a higfa speed, and had completed the second circuit of the course when the aeroplane was seen suddenly to point earthwards, and a few seconds later crashed to the ground. M. Bleriot escaped from instant death by nothing less than a miracle. It would appear that it was the sudden stoppage of the motor which caused the disaster, and the shock hurled him from his seat when the machine was some 80ft. from the earth. When he was picked up, however, it could not be discovered that any bones were broken. Burning petrol had badly injured one of his hands, and he complained of severe internal pain. The unfortunate aeroplanist, with wnom widespread sympathy is expressed, was removed, from the grounds in an ambulance.—Central News. Fine Flight in England I Mr. S. F. Cody surpassed all his previous aeroplane records on Saturday evening by making a flight of eight miles in 9i minutes. In all he made four flights. In the first he covered four and a half liiiles on Laffan's Plain in five minutes, making eight turns. In his second flight he took his chief engineer up, covering the plain and Cove Common in four minutes. In his third flight he took another workman, doing equally well. Then, after filling up the radiators with water, he made a long night by himself. He flew over Laffan's Plain at a height of about 40ft., and, rising steadily all the time, crossed the Basingstoke Canal at Pnckridge Hill, and went over Claycart Common, on to the Long Valley. This he flew to its full length to Jubilee Hill, rounded the hilltop, and flew to Long Hill, diagonally across the. Long Val- ley, and crossed the canal again at Lelmoor Hill. The machine had mounted by this time to a height of over 100ft. above Lelmoor Hill, on which was a crowd of spectators, who cheered as the aviator passed high over their heads. He made another complete cir- cuit of Laffan's Plain before coming to rest a few yards from his ehed, so accomplishing the finest flight yet seen in England.

Triumph for Zeppelin DIRIGIBLE SAILS OVER BERLIN Berlin suffered a keen disappointment on Saturday in the failure of the dirigible balloon, Zeppelin III., to carry out the pro- jected flight from Friedrichshafen to the Prussian capital. The cause of the failure was the carrying away of a propeller, in addition to head winds. The necessary repairs having been effected. Count Zeppelin resumed his journey on Sunday. The count reached the capital with- out further mishap, and received a tremen- dous welcome from hundreds of thousands of people. Exactly at half-past twelve Zeppelin III. appeared over the Tempelhofer Feld. The huge airship dipped its prow several times in salute to the Emperor, while the bells of churches rang, and hundreds of thousands of spectators who thronged the parade-ground, streets, and roofs of houses sent up a roar of welcome cheers. The Zeppelin III. then described a wide circle towards the Kreuzberg, and returned to the spot where the Emperor stood, over which it carried out a series of turns and other evolutions. The weather was magni- ficent. Shortly after arriving at the castle Count j Zeppelin, who was attired in a lounge suit, just as he had stepped from the OWl" of the airship, and three of hia companions lunched with the Emperor and Empress. During the meal the Emperor drank the health of each of the aeronauts individually. The Emperor subsequently appeared repeatedly at one of the windows of the castle with Cooint Zeppelin. Frantic cheers were raised by the enormou-s crowds assembled in the great square, and patriotic 9ongs were sung. The work of mooring the airship on the Teg-el shooting range was performed without a. hitch. and the public were admitted to the mnge.-Feuter. Two Propellers Broken I Fnednohshafen, Monday. Zeppelin ill came down at seven o'clock this morning at Buelzig, near Wittenberg, owing to a defect, A telegram has been received here from Herr Duerr, the chief engineer, requesting the despatch of men with repairing material to Buelzig. The repairs will take about two days to effect.-geuter. Berlin, Monday. It is authoritatively stated that Zeppelin III. has broken two of its fore propellers, part of which pierced the envelope, causing the gas to eacepe.-Ilouter.

HEROISM IN THE PITI DIGGING MEN FROM THE SUMP Thrilling Penygraig Rescue Story I The /amentable cage accident at the 'Ely Colliery, PenygTaig, last Friday mornin,g resulted in the death on Sunday morning of JAMES VAUGHAN. I another of the injured men-Harry Marshall, Williamstiown—who had sustained a fracture to the base of the skull. This makes the list of killed up to seven. The other victims are making progress. Two other men have been admitted into the Porth Cottage Hoepital for treatmiont-John Jones, Brook-street, Penygraig, and Joseph Latohain. The two are suffering from very bad fraoturee of the legs, but it ie not ex. pected that amputation will be necessary in either case, as both are reported to be get- ting on nicely, as well as the other three taken there on Friday. Interview with Vaughan I Seen by a representative of the averring Express," James Vaughan, 1. Alfred-street, Williamstown, who showed such presence of mind in the work of rescue, said he was 33 years of age, and had been employed at the Ely Colliery for fifteen years, thirteen as a hitcher. When the accident oocwrred he was at the fan handle at the bottom of the pit waiting for the cage to descend. It came down at the ordi- nary rate until about ten yards from the landing. Then all at once it dashed down into the sump. A moment after the crash the other bond came down, a. portion of it falling on top of the one in the sump. I can hardly describe what followed," added Vaughan. "Men were crying out piteously for help. All was in darkness, but I succeeded in handing down some lamps, not without, however, the greatet difficulty. In an instant all was commotion, and I set to work with other men to extricate the sufferers in the upper deck of the cage, then pulled up the tram road and planks to get to the Io-wer deck, and got the men out through two beams. Phil Pascoe and Dan Davies, though injured themselves, lent valuable aid, and fainted from their exer- tions. Being so well acquainted with the bottom of the pit, I may have been the means of saving life. The great danger to myself was from fragments of sheaves falling down. D. Lewis and Steve Davies were sitting down, having descended in the previous bond, to accustom their eyes to the darkness. They rendered invaluable assist- ance in getting the victims out. Splendid work was done by the ambulance men con- nected with the pit, together with Mr. Trevor Price, assistant agent, Mr. Hallister, manager, and Mr. Henry Evans, under- manager. I I shall never forget the awful and agon- ising screams of the poor fellows. The five men who were killed outright presented a ghastly sight, being shockingly injured, and it made us quail as we handed them out from the broken bond. Throughout the operations pieces of different material, loosened by the falling cage, were coming down with great force, and we had some narrow escapes from being struck. As each injured man was extricated he was promptly sent on a stretcher to the surface. Most of those who I were taken from the bottom deck had their lege badly broken, and were in great pain, their groans being agonising to hear." "Are you a married man?" Tes, and my wife was, naturally, very anxious about me, but, although I suffered from the shock, I do not feel any ill-effects so far. During the work of rescue I was kept up by the efforts put forward, but when the painful task was completed my nerves gave I way a little, and I have not been able to sleep much, but the feeling, I am glad to l say, is wearing off.' I The Inquest I The inquest on the victims will be opened at Nazareth Chapel Vestry this (Monday) after- noon at 2.15. There will be a joint inquiry before Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner, Aberdare, and Mr. D. Rees, coroner, Pontypridd. To-day, it is proposed to take only evidence of identification, and the inquiry will then be adjourned to a date convenient to all the I parties concerned for fuller investigation. It is now expected that work will be resumed at the pit early this week. Sympathy from Merthyr I The Merthyr District of Miners at their monthly meeting on Saturday passed a vote of condolence with the families bereaved by the disaster and of sympathy with the injured men.

[Sporting Mems for Week I Brewer, the Newmarket trainer, leaves for Australia on October 29 for a holiday. Bayardo is not likely to fulfil his engage- ment in the Breeders' St. Leger at Derby. The Baden-Baden Grand Prize, a gold oup amd sweepstakes z62,500, resulted yesterday in a dead-heat between Mademoiselle Bon and Azalee. Mr. C. G. Asisheton-Smith is, it is said, anxious to buy the Iriah 'ohaser King of the Scarlets, whose owner has declined to put a price on him. Bordon Camp has been disposed of privately to a patron of T. Leader, jun, and the three- year-olid will shortly join the latter's team at Wroughton. Comma, the dam of Hackler's Pride, the dual Cambridgeehixe winner, was offered for sale at Ballsbridge on Thursday. The best bid for her wa.s sixteen guineas, at which she was withdrawn. Mr. J. B. Joel's SUIlapot is not qualified for the Byrkley Maiden Plate at Derby on Tues- day, as the race is for maidens at closing, August, 3, at ten p.m. Sunspot won on the afternoon of that day. Mr. Mitothorp, after making further inquiries, has, pending the stewards' permis- sion, withdrawn his objection to Gold Coin, the winner- of the Wrottedey Plate at the "Wolverhampton August Meeting. Lord Howard do Walden has leased the yearling colt by Fa.riman-Exoollenza, the dam of Glasgerion and Farola, from Mr. C. J. Blake. Excedlenza was originally the property of Lord Cadogan, and was presented by the latter to Mr. C. J. Blake, Excellency, will be offered for sale-at the Newmarket December sales. Winning owners to' date :-His Majesty King Edward VII., £ 19,294- Mr. Fairie, 119,223; Mr. J. B. Joel, £ 11,755; Mr. W. Ilall-Walker, £ 8,082; Mr. A. S. Basset, £ 7,311; Lord Eosebery, 16,974; Mr. A. Bailey, £ 6,704; Mr. H. Lythain, £ 6,430; Mr. Lionel Robinson, £ 5,89b; Lord Howard de Walden, 15,884 Duke of Portland, £ 5,565; Mr. L. de Rothschild, £ 5,461; Sir W. C. Cooper, £ 5,440; Mr. J. A. de Rothschild, £ 5,322; Mr. P. Nelke, £ 5,236; Mr. H. P. Whit- ney, 15,011. The get of WoolHthorpe, the late Prince Soltykoff's well-known speedy eon of Tib- thorpe—Light of Other Days, have won no fewer than 139 races this season in the United States. The old horse stands third on the list of winning stalliocis to Yankee and Llaudit. Both these last have Himyar in their pedigrees, Yankee being by Hanover -out of one of Himyar's daughters, while Plaudit is by Himyard out of Sir William ThrookmoTton's English-bred mare Cin- derella, by Blue Ruin or Tomahawk. Cin- derella was soid to go to the States in her young days for about '21gs., and produced Hastings as well as Plaudit. The first- named of these is likewise a successful sire. The most iritter-eating event of the present week is the Peveril of the Peak Plate, to bo run at Derby on Thursday. The withdrawal of both Sir Archibald and Priscillian has necessitated the raising of the weights, and St. Michan now heads the list with 9&t. At his be&t the Irishman is a good horse, but on his most recent form he does not appear to ha.ve been backed with much leniency, and his claims may on this occasion be piassed over. Miesko has been shaping well in his gallops, and looks like a runner. Of Joyner's pair Perseus III. is to be preferred. Of the Newmarket lot Maud Mackintosh a.nd Duke of Sparta are the like- liest, and unless something transpires in the course of the next few days in rough or test gallons to alter present opinaons MAUD MACKINTOSH ehould be returned the winner. Of the Nurseries to be decided this week, the Devonshire is the most important, and the success of WILD GOEiSE may be anticipated. CILL DARA, in the Oatsworth Selling Plate, and PLYING THOUGHTS, in the Hartington Plate, are both considered to represent reasonably good business. The following horses may be recommended in addition to the above: — SHAMPOO. GE.NERAL LEE. TIP AND RUN. REGGIE KNIGHT. ULRIQUE FILLY. SERAPHINE. COLLEGIAN. WOODHALL.

Passing Pleasantries, He: You look good enough to eat this morning, Dora. She: Indeed! Why don't you eat me then? He: My doctor told me to avoid sweets. He: A penny for your thoughts. She: It's a bargain, but I'm afraid you will not get full value for your money. He: Well, here's the penny. Now, what were you thinking of She: You. "Iloat," said the teacher, makes things grow larger, while the cold causes them to grow smaller." Then eight-year-old Johnnie asked the ques- tion, "Is tha why the days are shorter in winter?" Little Ethel: Mamma, what does it rain for ? Mrs. De Homely: To make the trees and grass and everything grow pretty. Little Ethel: Then why doesn't it rain on papa? Dashaway: I was going to ask you to dine with me, but believe you are going to take dinner at the Wiklers'. Stuffer: What time do you dine? Six o'clock." That's all. right, old man. They don't dine until seven."

FOOTBALL I Rhymney Valley Leagues Amalgamate I MT. T. Llewellyn., Voohriw, presided over a joint meeting of the Senior and Junior Leagues of the Rhymney Valley at the Grey- hound Hotel, Aberbarg'oed, on Saturday even- ing. The Secretary (Mr. Eees Jones) sub- nutted the financial statement, and explained that on the year's working there would be a loss of about £9 14s. 8d. A long discussion took place on the question of amal,gam.ating the two leagues of the Rhymney Valley. Mr. R. W. John (secretary of the Welsh Union Junior League) and Mr. R. Williams (chairman of the Cardiff and Dis- trict Union) both urged this course. Mr. R. W. John remarked that there need be no anxiety as to finance, as the Welsh Union would come to their assistance. It was even- tually decided to amalgamate, and appoint an executive committee, com posed of a mem- ber of each senior club and not more than three to represent the juniors. Mr. E. Northcott was appointed secretary of the Old Boys' League. It was decided to have a knock-out" competition. It was decided that the match betewen Bed- was and Deri for the Junior League Cham- pionship be played on October 2. Bedwas were admitted to the Senior League, as were both Rhymney teams.

U.S. SQUADRON FOR JAPAN f ——— The squadron which Rear-admiral Sebree will take to the Philippines, China, and Japan is in readiness to start. The vessels axe taking in stores at present, and will leave San Francisco early this week. The squadron is composed of eight battleships—the Colorado, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Weet Virginia, South Dakota^ Washington, California, and Tennessee. They are the most modern and up-to-date of the American battleships, and are expected to give a good impression, espe- cially in Japan. The squadron, which will be absent between eight and nine months, will devote one month to target practice and manoeuvring at Manila. Only a part of the ehipos will go to China, but the entire squadron I will visit Japan. Admiral Sebree bears a cordial message from President Taft to the Emperor of Japan.

I Fight in a Cell! I I WOMEN'S HAIR-TEARING TUSSLE I An extraordinary case came before the Cardiff magistrates to-day. Annie Evans (27) was before the court on a oharge of bad language in Millicent-street, and Cordelia Swa.ffin (42), who was brought up for bad language in Crichton-street, was further charged with assaulting Annie Evans whilst in a cell. Police-oonstable- Joseph Sparkes related the charge against Annie, who dis- played a terrible black eye and cried. She was fined 10s. or seven days. The evidence of Act- ing-detective Harding against Swaffin was very similar, and Annie Evans then said that whilst being taken to the cells Swaffin caught her by the hair and pulled her to the floor. Witness said she was no fighter, though she was often in gaol. Swaffin declared that Annie was using "terrible language" in the cell. Police-constable Sidney Jones said the pair became friends after fighting. Each was pulling the other by the hair, and he sepa- rated them. Swaffin was fined 20s. and costs or a month.
