It appears tbat a th d eHu;:rd;ggSt g:fP%S tea\birl.cl:: compartment of the train at Awre, -d on his way felt considerable alarm, as he imagined there fe?lats something alive under his seat. Apparently he was alone, and saw no reason to suppose he had company. Arriving at Newn. ham, Mr. Harding, stationmaster, was con- sulted, and the search-light from the station- master's lamp discovered three boys under the seat. They were between twelve and thirteen years of age, and gave the names of Edward Smith, 73, Carlisle-street, John Germain, 22, Habershon-street, and John Hobbs, 7, Ponty- pridd-street, East Moors, Cardiff. They were very mggiod, and belonged evidently to the parrow fraternity, The lad. .fF.IrIt?i rthe l explanation that they got into the ?.rri.g. at the East Moors to sleep the night, and hd not finished their nap when the train started. They were very glad to start back home without any.furtber unpleasant experience than a severe fright, and a no less severe reprimanding.

A WEDDING GIFT. HUSBAND AND WIFE QUARREL ABOUT IT AND GO TO LAW. At Crewe on Wednesday his honour Judge Hughes had before him a claim by Thomas Margiiwon for the recovery of a silver biscuit barrel from his wife, Ellen Marginson. The plaintiff said he married the defendant three- and-a-half years ago, and two daya after the marriage some of his fellcw-workinen from Urewe Railway Works waited upon him amI, presented him with a silver biscuit barrel as a wedding prudent. It was not presented to his wif", The defence waa that the barrel was presented to botb.-Ilis honour nailed for 'he article, and found on the lid an iiigeri?tion, !P:i:1 arod Mr. and Mrs. Majginson," &<? —The plaintiff's solicitor said that Mrs. Mar. tinson's name was put on about six weeks afterwards, and that it was done" out of cour- tesy." There was no name on at the time it was presented. The parties had had a quarrel and were now separated. The wife refused to give up the biscuit barrel on the ground that it waa as much her's as her hus- band's.—The Secretary of the Presentation Com- mittee said tha.t the biscuit barrel was presented to the plaintiff. lIe did not know anything about the inscription, which was put on after- wards.—The Judge said the inscription was evidence that it belonged to husband and wife jointly. He oould impound it until they came to an agreement, w one died and the other claimed it. But it was a useful present, and ho was unwilling to do that. As the wife had it and there was evidence that it belonged partly to her he gave a verdict in favour of her retaining it.

A GERMAN SETTLEMENT THREATENED. A Central News telegram from Viotoria (British Columbia) Mys Advices received bv steamer indicate that the Gorman colony on the island of New Britain in the Paoifio is mider- Soine a series of desperate attacks from the t Seertis.de¥h:ari;:ofribso on t: islands have apparently banded together t. destroy the German settlement. The Germans were made fully aware of the natives' plans and, assuming the aggressive, inflioted a crushing defeat. The natives thereafter rallied, and again marched against the Germans. Another fight ensuod, in whioh the natives were com- pletely routed. In the two battles 240 blacks have been killed and a large number wounded. Though they have suffered so severely from the tuperior arms of the whites the natives appear to be still determined in their efforts to over- throw the Germans, and further fightine is believed to be oertain.

A PENARTH VESSEL IN DANGER. The steamship Botberfield, with a. registered tonnage of 1,842, arrived at Plymouth on Thursday evening fer repairs. The Rotherfield was bound from Penarth to Port Eades (New Orleans) in baflast. She left Penarth a fort- night ago, and all went well up to Friday in last week, when abont 300 miles 8.W.W. of the Lisard she encountered the full force of the south-westerly gale. The Botherfield was forced to ran before the gale and the heavy seas swept the deck fore and aft. The crew were with great difficulty prevented from being washed overboard in the midst of the storm. The main steampipe burst and the fnnnel was nearly wmhed away. Finding the engineers on board could not repair the damage, Captain Watson determined to make for Plymouth. Messrs. 89  outh. Mesarm. Willoughby and Co. are repairing the damages, which are rather extensive, and will prob.I"y,' ocoupy a week.

TRADE REPORTS. GLASGOW, Friday.— xhere has been a fair business this week in the Scotch iron trade. Some excitemont occurred in tho warrant market owing to extensive and influential selling of Scotch iron, which sent back prices 6d per ton. It was feared that the market was abont to collapse, more especially as prices are known to have been supported by operations of the bulls rather than by any additional demand on the part of consumers. For the present, how- ever, a o rtl* aI recovery has taken place in fCrB,a Tti?."gh co; deal t}e:ni; prevails to the immediate coursc of the market. Special brands of makers' iron are firm bccause of their scarcity, and on account of the approaching holi- day. the ironmasters are not pressing forward the lighting of the blast furnaces with such vigour as might otherwise be done. The demand for pig iron i8 quiet, both for home consumption and shipment. There are fair inquiries for steel, but the capacity of the works is so great that the orders are quickly absorbed, and prices are not more than maintained. The makers of malleable iron are in some -?. very b..y, much 1* that they will tp only ??ry h-t tihf: ta:dylpri rt6ih:nro: unchanged. Coal is becoming ,o. plentiful, but prices are firm.

CARDIFF WATERWORKS COMMITTEE. A meeting of the waterworks committee of the Cardiff Corporation was held at the Town- hall on Friday, Alderman David Jonas pre- siding.—There were also present Alderman Lewis, and Councillors Gerhold, J. H. Cory, Nosh Rees, and J. Comley, the town-clerk (Mr. J. L. Wheatlev), and the waterworks engineer (Mr. J. WilliallUl)- A letter was read from the clerk of the Caer- philly Local Board with reference to the Taff's \y wr:l,i; \nhr::toP:yd Waterworks Company had not ?igified their a;:B CO::i: tta: T'IIJill with water except on certain conditions which his board would not agree to. He had recently written them asking if his hoard were to under- stand that they de;n,3d to supply the di.- triet, to which he had received no reply, :dtlIoo:h,h h:he:r fr:eh h ;:rd communicate with the committee.-The Chair. man said that this was only a piece of infoima- tion; no understanding could be arrived at until the eply was received.—A letter was alw red from Mr. G. C. ?amex, soliciter, Mer. thyr, on the bject of the Pentwyn ,m, Temporary Esilway, st?ting that since the date of the agreement the fence of the railway had been re-laid, and the new fence set back from where the previous one was, con- sequently a quantity of additional land had been taken for the use of the railway. This was done without Mr. Llewellyn'm COnbent MId con- siderable dam&«c had been done. W, r:l works Engineer said tbat it was eoly a very the snb j ect dropped.
