EXCITED VISITORS AT LLANT- WIT MAJOR. At the Cowbridge County Police-court- before Colonel Taylor and Mr J. S. Gibbon-Cornelious Corrigan, of Cardiff, was last week summoned by Alfred Simmons, of Llantwit Major, for assaulting him.—The parties appeared in court, and the plaintiff asked the Bench for permission to withdraw the charge. It appears that the two, with others, were together at Llantwit Major, and the defendant ac- cused the complainant of having picked his pocket. The two other "chums" voluntered to turn out the contents of their pockets, but the complainant refused, at the same time telling the defendant that if he liked to search his pockets he could do so. Instead of doing that the defendant knocked the complainant down. -The Bench acceded to the application for with- drawl.

A BUSINESS-LIKE BEGGING-LETTER. George Henry McGrath, a man of good address, was brought up on remand at the South-Western Police-court on Tuesday charged before Mr Haden Corser with obtaining money by means of begging-letters. The prisoner called upon the Hon. Mrs Schuster with a letter written by Miss Ellen Terry, the actress, and this lady gave him 10s and a bottle of wine, as he pleaded illness in addition to destitution. Upon him were found several letters, including one from Sir Charles Russell, enclosing 10s, with his compiments. The prisoner had also received money from Sir Frederick Leighton with his best wishes, Miss Ellen Terry, and other prominent persons. There was found in the prisoner's possession a small pocket-book containing a number of names set I forth in alphabetical order, including Mr Conan Doyle, the novelist, Sir Andrew Clark, Mr Craw- ford, Mr Passmore Edwards, Mr Henry Irving, Lady Constance Howard, and several members of Parliament.—Mr Haden Corser discharged the prisoner with a caution.

BARRY COAL TRIMMERS' SPORTS. The second annual athletic sports held under the auspices of the Cardiff, Penarth, and Bairy Coal- trimmers' Association, took place on Monday after- noon last at the Sophia Gardens Park, Cardiff. The weather was line, and A capital programme had been arranged.

SUNDAY TRIPS TO LLANTWIT MAJOR—& THE CONSEQUENCE. At the Cowbridge Police-court, John Lyons, Cow- bridge, was summoned last week for having been found on licensed premises at Llantwit Major on Sunday, and failing to give a satisfactory account of his movements on the previous night. — Police- constable Paget stated that at 7.20 p.m. on Sunday he saw the defendant in the kitchen of the Globe Inn, Llantwit Major, sitting down with two other men. Witness asked him what he wanted there, and he replied, A drink of beer." He stated that he had come from St. Marychurch, where he had lodged the night previous. The landlord here entered the room and said to defendant, "You told me that you came from Parc Wyllt, near Bridgend." He did not make any answer to that. He appeared to be under the influence of drink. The distance from St. Mary- church to Llantwit was three miles.—Defendant now denied having told the constable that he came from near Bridgend. He had a witness to prove that he came from Cowbridge.—Thomas Smith, labourer, Cowbridge, called by the defendant, stated that he saw the latter about 9.30 on the morning of Sunday by the Old East Gate, Cowbridge. Witness said to him, Good morning, where are you going?" He replied, I'm going as far as Llantwit. I want to see a party there."—Magistrates' Clerk Where did the defendant sleep on the previous night ?—Witness: I don't know.—Defendant: I slept in the loft of the Commercial Hotel, Cowbridge.—Witness: No, you didn't; I slept there myself. (Laughter.)—Magis- trates' Clerk (to defendant): This is your own witness, you know.-Defendant said he went to see two friends at Llantwit. Defendant was sworn, and stated that on Saturday night he slept at the Com- mercial Hotel, Cowbridge, and had permission to do so from the landlady.-A messenger was here sent to the Commercial Hotel to ascertain if the defendant had obtained permission from Mrs Morgan to sleep there. The messenger returned with the information that defendant's story was false.—Defendant was fined jBl including costs.

JACK AMONGST THEIVES AT BARRY DOCK. HOW A GERMAN SEAMAN FARED. At Penarth Police-court on Monday last (before Mr V. Trayes and Colonel Guthrie) James Tinsley and David Evans were charged by a German ship carpen- ter named Andrew Grantz, living at 27, Sydenham- street, Barry Dock, with stealing money and clothing. —Prosecutor said on Friday night he went with a young girl" to her home at 46, Wood-street. He went to bed shortly after midnight and woke about half- past four, when he found his coat and waistcoat were missing. Three shillings and several articles were also missing from his trousers pockets. A pawn ticket for a watch, a knife, and other articles were also missing. He searched the room without avail, and went downstairs, where he found prisoner, whom he charged with the robbery. Tinsley replied he was sorry, and offered to give him a coat instead of the one he had missed. Prosecutor, on leaving, watched the prisoner, Tinsley, followed him to Cardiff, and saw him go to a pawnshop in Caroline-street, where he (prosecutor) had pledged a watch. He went into the shop unobserved, and in the course of a few minutes Tinsley followed him in, and tendered money and the ticket for the redemption of the watch. He walked up to Tinsley, placed his hand upon his shoulder, and asked him where he had the pawnticket from, and called for a policeman to take him into custody. Prisoner offered him 25s to say nothing about it, but he refused.—Tinsley applied for an ad- journment, so as to secure legal assistance.—Acting- sergeant W. Gammon proved the arrest of Tinsley on Saturday at Cardiff. He apprehended Evans on Sunday, when the latter admitted being in company with the other prisoner when the robbery took place. He also took a knife out of his pocket and threw it into the dock, saying in doing so, That will not tell tales, at any rate." Evans likewise accused a sailor named Kenrade, with participation in the th<sft, but he went away to sea on Sunday morning.—Prisoners were remanded in custody till Thursday at Barry Dock Police-court.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICA- TION WITH LUNDY ISLAND. A Lloyd's telegram states that telegraphic com- munication between the mainland at Nash Point and Lundy Island has been resumed, affording a great boon to the seafaring community making use of the Bristol Channel, especially in case of shipping casualities occurring off Lundy, which so frequently take place, especially in winter. The cable, we understand, is nineteen miles in length. The Daily News, referring to the same fact, states :—" To the immense advantage of the whole of the extensive shipping interest of the Bristol Channel, telegraphic communication has-been established with Lundy Island. This is one of the important first-fruits of the report of the Committee on Coast Communica- tion. The island forms a natural refuge in rough weather,and it has been no uncommon thing for a score or two of vessels to lie storm-bound in the lee of Lundy, while for days the gravest anxiety prevailed in regard to them in the Bristol Channel ports a few miles distant. This was where a missing' gunboat was discovered a couple of years ago. But the new cable which has been laid during the past week has put an end to this state of things. Lundy has now its telegraphic office."

I ACCIDENT ON BOARD SHIP AT BARRY DOCK. NARROW ESCAPE OF ENGINEERS. On Saturday evening last ah accident occurred to the boilers of the s.s. Mill field. It seems that the engineers were getting up steam to proceed to sea, when the high-pressure cylinder cover was blown violently off, and the boilers, it was stated, burst. The engine-room became immediately like a furnace, and was much damaged. The engineers ran for their lives to the stokehole. The accident necessitated the detention of the Millfield at the graving dock for three or four days for repairs.

A PENARTH MAN "HAVING WORDS WITH HIS WIFE. On Monday last, at Penarth Police-court, Charles Withington, Glebe-street, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, at the instance of P.C. Tucker, on the 28th ult.—Defer dant said he had had no drink he was only having a few words with his wife, and a large crowd assembled to listen to the arguments. The Bench reminded him this was his fourth offence, and advised him if he wanted any more words with his better half he must have them in a different way. Fined 10s.

A BARRY HORSE AND TRAP UNATTENDED AT PENARTH. John Thvyer, a boarding-house keeper of Vere- street, Cadoxton-Barry, appeared before the justices at Penarth on Monday last in answer to a charge of obstruction on the 28th ult. It seems defendant went into the Ship Hotel, Penarth, to have a drink, and left his pony and trap outside unattended.—"Has defendant been here before?" queried the Bench.-Superintendent Wake Yes, times out cf number, your worship.—P.C. Tucker also alleged Dwyer was the worse for drink, but as he was not charged with this offence, he was let off with a fine of 5s.

I NEW ZEALAND WOOING. The Maori girl generally begins the courting. I have often seen the pretty little love letter fall at the feet of a lover-it was a bit of flax made into a half-knot; yes was mad by pulling the knot tight; no by leaving the matrimonial noose alone. Sometimes in the wharc rnatoro (the wooing house), a building in which the youth of both sexes assembled for play, songs, dances, and so forth, there would be at stated times a meeting when the fires burned low a girl would stand up in the dark and say:— "I love and I want him for my husband," If he coughed or said yes, it was well; if only dead silence answered, she covered her head with her robe and was ashamed. This was not often, as she generally managed to ascertain either by her own inquiry or by sending a friend, if the proposal was acceptable. On the other hand sometimes a mother would attend and say:- I want Blank for my son." If not acceptable there was a general mocking, and she was told to let the young people have their house to themselves.

zl_ BURIAL SCANDAL AT CADOX" TON-BARRY. THREAT TO THROW A SAILOR# BODY INTO THE STREET. POLICE INTERFERENCE IN THE MATTER. A sad case of sudden death occurred at Cadoxton ofl Friday morning last. A German steward nam#* Charles Vords, said to be a man of fine physique, had been lodging at G. Burnett's boarding house, 27, Courtenay-road, Cadoxton, for ten or twelve days, and on Friday morning last he went to the Wenvoe Arms Hotel to change half-a-sovereign. On coming back he stated his intention of going to Cardiff by the 9 o'clock train. He missed that train, however, and he said he would go by the 9.30. A few minutes afterwards he complained to the boarding master that something was coming up into his throat, and asked Burnett to run for a doctor, or take him to one- Burnett proceeded to take the man to Dr Treharne, but as they were going out of the door Vords suddenly t fell into Burnett's arms apparently unconscious. Dr Treharne was fetched as quickly as possible, but on ] arriving he announced that the man had expired, heart disease being the cause of death. INQUEST. On Saturday morning last, JVlr E. B. Reece, district coroner, conducted inquiries as to the painful sudden death of Charles Vords, a German cook, which took place at the boarding house kept by George Burnett, 27, Courtenay-road, Cadoxton, on the previous morn- ing. Mr L. Y. Owen was foreman of the jury. Bur- nett was first called, and he stated that the deceased had stayed at his house for the past ten or twelve days, and on Wednesday he complained of pains in his heart. On Friday morning he again spoke to feeling choked, and alleged he had a tapeworm in his throat, and asked Burnett to take him to a doctor. Just as they got outside the doorway, however, he suddenly fell down, being black in the face, and died in the course of two or three minutes. Dr Treharne arrived as soon as possible, but found life extinct, death being caused, he averred, to heart disease. In reply to a question by the Coroner, Dr Treharne said he had never heard of a tape worm rising up to the throat; it might, however, be a stomach worm. A verdict of death from "natural causes" was then returned. The Coroner gave an order for burial, but the union authorities positively declined to grant an order for a coffin, notwithstanding the fact that deceased was stated to be quite destitute both of money and clothes. The matter was brought before the Cardiff Board of Guardians on Saturday last, and it was agreed to leave the same to the discretion of the local relieving officer (Mr D. Edwards). The board- ing-master again waited upon the relieving officer on Saturday evening, but Mr Edwards was inexorable, maintaining that, inasmuch as the deceased's money had been spent in the boarding-house, at which he had stayed for several weeks, coupled with the fact that Vords had, it was alleged, been working for the applicant as a runner, the cost of the burial should not fall upon the union. The boarding-master main- tained he could not afford to inter the body, and threatened to throw the same out into the street, as it was rapidly becoming decomposed and discoloured, and the occupants could not live in the house owing to the heavy stench arising therefrom. The threat was repeated to the police, and Inspector Rees warned him if he disposed of the body in that way he would at once be placed under arrest. Fearing this, the man was driven to seek the aid of the union under- taker, Mr D. Thomas, Vere-street, Cadoxton, who consented to make a pauper's coffin, into which the much-swolleu body was placed and screwed down on Sunday morning, pending Interment at Merthyr Dovan, which could not, however, take place till Tuesday. Considerable excitement was caused by the circumstances referred to, especially in the neighbour- hood where deceased lived. Deceased was a member of the National Sailors' and Firemen's Union, Cardiff branch, having paid his contributions as recently as May 1, but the society, we are informed, declined to, have anything to do with the cost of burial.

THE LOSS OF THE "VICTORIA." THE RECTOR OF CADOXTON'S LATE BROTHER. CHAPLAIN MORRIS' GALLANTRY. One or two particulars of interest have already been made public with reference to the Rev S. L. 0. Morris, the chaplain of the Victoria, who lost his life last Thursday week. There remain, however, says the Irish, Times, for mention one or two circumstances involving a special coincidence. The fact shortly stated is that Mr Morris immediately before hi& appointment as chaplain to the Victoria in December, 1889, had served about a year on board the Camper- down, previous to which he had belonged successively to various ships of the Royal Navy, as, for instance, to the Garnet, 1882 to the Amethyst, 1882.5; to the Triumph, on the Pacific station, 1885-8, in the latter of which year he qualified as interpreter in Spanish with a first-class certificate. Mr Morris was a teacher as well as a clergyman, and four months after his first appointment as chaplain he added to his clerical duties those of naval instruction. It was in this latter capacity that he published, in 1889, a "Short Course of Eleniéntary Navigation." It is related that when the father of Chaplain Morris, was on a visit to L.anelly before becoming vicar there was such a crowd to bear him preach that the old gallery of the Parish Church either creaked or actually gave way. One of the lost, William Gwynne Thomas, an ordinary sea- man on board the Victoria, and a native of Rhos- market, near New Milford, joined the Navy a little over three years ago at Pembroke Dock. From there he was sent to Devonport to H.M.S. Impregnable, being transferred to the Victoria on the latter ship being commissioned. He was very highly respected by the chaplain of the Victoria (the Rev Mr Morris), and was a Sunday school teacher and a member of the Good Templars Society, Among those who were contemporaries of Bishop Jayne at Oxford was the Rev S. L. O. MorrIs, M.A., the chaplain of the ill- j fated Victoria, though junior to him in standing by a 1 few years. The ships (Victoria and Camperdown) were locked together for eight minutes after the fatal collison. The sick were saved, Chaplain Morris being greatly instrumental, his devotion costing him his life. 0

DISOR AT BARRY DOCK. A WOMAJ* SETS FIRE TO A HOUSE. Kate Holland and Sarah Thomas, both women of ill-fame, were placed in the dock at Barry Dock Police-court on Thursday week last—before Mr T. R. Thompson and Dr Neale—charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance in Gueret-street, Barry Dock, on June 27.— Police-constable Shillum (354) said he was called to No. 43, Gueret-street, occupied by Patrick Ryan, where he found the kitchen on fire. Kate Holland bad thrown the burning lamp to the noor from the mantelpiece, and the ooards and cur- tains ignited. Prisoner was in drink. She had pre- viously quarrelled with Jane Ryan. He took her into custody, and on the way to the police-station Sarah Thomas, who was also in drink, cann-upon the scene and attempted to rescue Holland. She would not go away, and he was obliged to take her also into- custody.— Kate Holland was remanded for a week,. but Sarah Thomas was sent to prison for seven days.

Whose lives were chequered, but whose verse- The generations still rehearse Yet never soul grew worse. What is it that these would ? Shall I Born late in time, < onsent to lie In the old misery ?
