Oscar Wilde.I - - - - I&-
Oscar Wilde. I I & BAIL ACCEPTED. I IMMEDIATE RELEASE DIRECTED. The expected application for Mr Oscar Wilde to be released on bail was made at Bow-street this morning before Mr Vaughan. Mr Travers Humphreys appeared on behalf of the prisoner, while the Treasury was represented by Mr Angus Lewis. Mr Humphreys briefly recapitulated the history of the case up to the application made yesterday to Baron Pollock, and said that he was now prepared with the necessary sureties. Both of them were persons of substance, and their names had been submitted to and ap- proved by the Tieasury. One was the Rev. StewartHe&dlaui, and the other Lord idoiiglas. of Hawick, otherwise Viscount Drumlanrig, the eldest son of the Marquis of Qneensberry. Both these gentlemen were called and swore that that they were worth £ 1,250—th# amount of bail fixed for each surety by Baron Pollock. Mr Vaughan said he was perfectly satisfied with the bait tendered, and he ordered Wilde's immediate release. Rev. Stewart Headlam Interviewed, I The Rev, Stewart Headlam, interviewed by a Press Association representative at the close of the proceedings as to his reason for becoming surety, said I have undertaken this responsi- bility on public grounds. I felt that the public mind had been prejudiced before the case began, and I was anxious to give Mr Wilde any help I could to enable him to stand his trial in good health and spirits." At the close of the hearing to-day Lord Douglas, of Hawick, and the Rev. Stewart Head- lam, accompanied by one of Messrs Humphreys' clerkf, entered a cab, and drove to Holloway Gaol, and after Mr Oscar Wilde has entered into his own recognisances before the governor of the prison, he will be at once released.
A DOG STOIIY.I
A DOG STOIIY. I The Animal's Character Ruined. A dog warranty, it is well-known, is as elastic as a dog dealer's conscience. It was therefore with considerable surprise that Thomas Huat, labourer, of Forest-gate, who had sold a dog for 10s to Henry Howell, found the latter gentle- man complaining that the animal's proclivities did not reach the high standard of the character which accompanied it. Howell sued Hust in the Bow County Court for the return of the money, and the last-named declared he had never heard of sueh a thing before. What was the warranty ?" asked the Judge. Hust told me." said the plaintiff, that the dog was used to children but the very first day I had him home he bit my son, and the next day operated in the fame way on a neighbour's child." He always was very fond of childfen," chimed the defendant. Yes, fond enough to eat them," sarcastically remarked the other. Why, your Honour, when I took the dog back to him he cried, For Heaven's sake don't bring him here. Take him out and lose him, and I'l I get you another in his place. Why did you say that 1" asked Judge French. Well, you see, your Honour, it was like this," was the answer. I've got six kids at home, and I thought that if the dog had bitten his it might also have a. snap at mine." But you had warranted the atiimal as being fond of children." So he was, your Honour. An angel couldn't be amiabier. I suppose he didn't like the new children's ways." But why did you tell him to Jose it rather than take it back 1" That," answered the defendant, "was because I thought they had ruined his character." "That won't do," said, the Judge. The dog was not ao amiable ai you made him out to be, and you must return the money, with eoste."
Jabez Spencer Balfour.
Jabez Spencer Balfour. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Jabez was b-)rn in 1843, and his father was a man of considerable versatility, for at one time he kept a rag, bone, and bottle shop in Chelsea, at another he was a missionary, and at another a messenger in one of the offices of the House of Commons. That he was a man of unimpeachable integrity and respectability will (says the St. James's Gazette) be rightly concluded from the fact that he was for many years in the service of Parliament and never rose above obscurity. His piety was of the strictest Nonconformist kind, and his labours as a London missionary and teetotal advocate broughthim intoassociation with theRev. Jabez Burns, father of the Rev. Dawson Burns, D.D. by the grace of Bate's College, U.S.A. Little Jimmy Balfour," as the ex-marine-store dealer was known in the committee-rooms of the House, possessed a wife ambitious for literary distinction in temperance and Nonconformist circles. The Rev. Jabez Burns was in the thir- ties editing a weekly journal devoted to teetotal- ism, and to him she sent certain stories and poems. This led to .-t)e association of the Balfours ond the Burnses. Until then the Balfours lived over the rag-and-bone shop in Chelsea but they removed to Maida Hill, near the chapel in Church-street, Edgware.road, of which the Rev. Jabez Burns was pastor. There they distin- guished themselves in the propaganda of teetota- when Jabez was born his first name was takenfrom that of the venerable divine,the father of the watch-dc?" auditor. The family ?h?nce was stiU further cemented by the marri&ge of thIs same "watel)-do- auditor-the Rev, Dawson Burns—to a sister of Jabez Spencer. According to one very doubtful authority, young Jabez was "educated abroad;" but it seems to be pretty clear ti,.)t days of his boyhood he was freq,.i, I) the House of Commons, unde thSu.: ■: I.is father, the messenger. The messenger v/as a worthy man, and it needs but little imagitizttion to conceive the pietistic atmo- sphere in which young Jabez lived and moved. By his father's influence he obtained a situation as office boy with a firm of Parliamentary agents in Gisat George-street, and in due course blossomed into a clerk. He was a regular chapel goer, a fervent attendant at prayer meetings, a rigid teetotaller, and a born schemer. The Liberator Scheme. At the age of 25 he conceived his great scheme of starting the Liberator Building Society- a combination of philanthropy and finance, which had a forerunner, however, in the Alliance Build. ing Society. The Rev. Dawson Burns was one of the auditors of this society, and it was at one of its meetings, about two years before the collapse of the Alliance gioup, that he made his fittiors speech on the duties of an auditor "What is an auditor ? He ought to be very much like a watch. dog; very careful to listen to any suspicious sound, able to bark, and perhaps even tobiteif necessary. The peculiarity of his position is this that whereas the watch.dog has to watch those outside, he has to watch those who are inside. He has to take care that those who have to manage the accounts do their business properly." Beyond reminding the public that Dr. Dawson Burns was also associated with the Liberator, it is unnecessary to say moru about the Alliance group of companies, except that they got their money from thrifty Nonconformists, and they came to grief from much the same cause as led to the ruin of the Liberator. But to return to Jabez. He Saw that the idea on which the Alliance was founded—the idea. of making a profit out of enterprise basedon ostensibly philan- thropic principles and conducted by ChrIstian" men with the money of the elect—was a good one. He was in touch with people who could tap th6 savings of the Nonconformist classes, and it is conceivable that he may have concluded that with proper management the failure of the Alliance need not be repeated. However that may be, at the age of 25 he found colleagues in Mr Alder- man Lusk, Mr Edward Miall, the Rev. Jabez Burns, and Mr Charles Reed, aud formed the Liberator. The Presperity of Jabez. In obtaining money—chiefly from Noncon- formist congregations and temperance societies, through the agency of ministers and lecturers- Jabez prospered amazingly. He married and settled down at Croydon, in a palatial home, and there he became a pillar of Nonconformity. He identified himseif with the local affairs of the town, and when it was made a borough he became its first mayor. He went to chapel with unvarying regularity, presented the edifice with a peal of bells, and missed no opportunity of appearing on a public platform or of writing a cheque for a philanthropic purpose. He was an artist in religiosity, and his speeches bear witness to the fervour of his faith and the intimacy of his rela- tions with theHigher Powers. Meanwhile hemissed no chance of drawing money into the Liberator and its allied companies. It was at Croydon that he discovered Hobbs, who would not now be serving his twelve years' imprisonment but for his association with tho Balfour gang and portraits of the pair in their mayoral robes (for Hobbs succeeded Balfour in the office of mayor) hung for years in the Council Chamber. Finance, religion, and municipal work were not, however, sufficient for Jabez. In politics he was a Radical from babyhood, and to the Radical party he gave the services of his tongue. In the Parliament of 1880 he got himself elected for the Tamworth D ivision, and his supposed greatness as a financier speedily made him a prominent member of the House. He was then director of no fewer than thirteen companies, and by the Pari iamentary guinea-pigs was regarded with J profound respect. In the election of 1886 Wal- worth had the honour of rejecting him but at the bye.election at Burnley, in 1889, he was returned unopposed, and once more took an active part—chiefly in Committee—in the work of the House. He made himself very popular in his constituency, and at the election of 1892 worked with tremendous ziial, bringing up the Liberal majority from 545 to 1,415. He was then at the zenith of his success. He had a fine country house—Burcot Manor, near Oxiord—where he entertained his political and financial associates with lavish hospitality. He was one of the great men of the National Liberal Club, a subscriber to party fuuds, and a candidate for office He had marked himself down as Postmaster-General in 1892, and was not a little annoyed to find that Mr Gladstone had handed the portfolio to Mr Arnold Morley. At this time he must have known that the failure ot the Liberator Group was inevitable before the year was out but he played a game of magnificent bluff. The crash came on September 2nd, 1892 and in a few weeks Mr Jabez was in Argentina, whence he has now, with difficulty, been extradited. JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE. A Reminiscence. No such eager endeavour (says a London correspondent) has been made by a tug-full of journalists to meet an incoming steamer in Eughsh waters as was put forth in the Solent yesterday morning in expectation of the home- coming of Jabez Balfour, since a certain New Yw ir's Eve just 20 years ago, when the three survivors of the emigrant ship Cospatriclc were expected to reach Plymouth. The circumstances which gave these unhappy men their notoriety had been of special horror, for the one boat-load which had escaped from the burning ship off the Cape, and which left over 400 souls behind to drown, was first dwindled from 30 to a dozen by hunger and madness, and then the survivors began to suck the blood of those whom they were too weak to throw overboard. When the boat was picked up by a passing ship only five remained, two of whom died on board, and three were left to be brought to England. The interest that had been aroused in their case was intense, and some of the best known "speoil correspon- dents in the kingdom journeyed to Plymouth to meet the steamer which was bringing them home. Just as the opening hour of 1875 was being chimed the vessel came in, and despite all efforts on the part of the authorities the eager journalists swarmed on board and speedily discovered their men. These, however, proved reluctant to talk until they reached the shore, and it was in a com- partment in the morning train from Plymouth to Paddington that they furnished as appalling a narrative as has fallen from the lips of men. But the journalists engaged in that enterprise did not allow themselves to be eluded by the Customs tug they took all risks of being thrown overboard (and that was one of the threats with which they were greeted), and made straight for the vessel they sought.

I Japan and the Powers. PARIS, Tuesday.—All the papers this morning bomment favourably upon the discretion of Japan in yielding to the protests of the Powers, and her Government is commended for the wise course ib has seen fib to pursue. The Figaro says the result of the action of the Powers makes the posi- tion of France at the opening of the Kiel Canal less heavy, both morally and politically. The Petit Journal remarks that the energetic action of the Powers has brought France a great diplo. matic victory.

Under such favourable conditions a large gathering were present on the Roodee for the opening day. The card will however not be a very heavy one, and in places the going is rather hard.

Temperance Union. (Applause.) It spoke uf progress, and it was the largest progress made m any otio year. They were greatly indebted to Sout;h Wales for the two additional branches which had been established and the large increase in the member- ship of the district. (Hear, hear. ) Their numbers now exceeded any railway in the United Kingdom—(applause}—but still he hoped that the numbers in other societies would increase as theirs had done, that it would stimulate them to still further exertions, and that they might catch them up and take the lead of them. (Applause.) They numbered now over 6,000 m connectIon with their Union, but he hoped the time would come when those outside of it would come in and take part in the work. They were not satisfied with 6,000 men out of 40,000 or 50,000, but wanted a i larger number to enrol themselves in the Union. He referred to the splendid work done by the officers of the Union, and spoke highly of Mr Maunder, their hon. sec. Speaking of the action taken by the Government in connection with Local Voto, he rejoiced that they had moved in the matter. Captain Poir.eroy followed with a humorous speech, and was succeeded by several other speakers. An excellent musical programme was gone through during the evening, and the proceedings were of a most enjoyable character.

LONDON, Tuesday.—In the Divorce Division ^—before the President, Sir Francis Jeune— h e case of Rogers v. Rogers and Jerrard, which f ü been adjourned from Wednesday last,came on Or further hearing. This was a suit in -b:ch Mr John Russell Rogers, theatrical lo"F;er sued for a divorce from his wife, Mrs t IlInnina Rogers, better known as Miss Minnie rner, the actress who plays in the title role of 14Y Sweetheart," against whom he alleged Ultery with Mr Francis Jerrard, stated to be j^nager of respondent's theatrical company. The It Was undefended. A Firmer Suit. lb Was stated when the case previously came •ore his Lordship that the petitioner the, respondent were the parties in a 'blikier suit, in which Sir Wm. Rose, Bart., was e oo-respondent, and that after a question of Urlsdlction was argued the suit was dropped "I d circumstances explained by the petitioner ,11 the case was before the Court a week ago.

(J that last Wednesday his Lordship had ex- hressed himself as satisfied as to the adultery, Ilt he was not satisfied whether there had not some collusion between the respondent and t-t",sPondent in the last suit. l'ile President Or connivance. Mr Yelverton said his client had subpoenaed e,y person who could throw any light on the ^tter, including Sir George Lewis, who kl)Pea,red for the respondent and co-respondent the last suit, and Mr Noble, a gentleman at i °rthamptou, who first communicated the in- 1orhlatioll as to the adultery of Jerrard, ) November last. Sir George Lewis would tell Lordship whathe knew with regard to Sir illitrii R j-'e, Burt. It was only justice to say Sir William Rose was not in question l" this case at all, and there Ihd been no suggestion on his part I.! <tt another co-respondent should be found. s 1 Rogers was likewise here. and he would like to his Lordship that JE600 which he epted was not in any sense the price of his 4 tfcs honour. It was a settlement because he ad been put to great expense, and he feared the ItlJense of an appeal to the House of Lords, and Ie Yielded to the advice of counsel to withdraw °!ri tiie suit. The President said that Lord Justice Lopes, I.ho heard the case, publicly expressed his entire "'approval of the arrangement. Mr Yelverton said he hoped to show that there Ild been no collusion. Minnie Palmer's Solicitor Called. Sir George Lewis was then called on subj oena, ktlll said that ho acted as solicitor for Minnie ^naer and the co-respondent, Sir William Rose, art., in the last suit. They both filed an act on Petition. The petitioner in that suit claimed "JWJOOO damages against the co-respondent, and ere was a letter in the registry now in *^ich the petitioner, writing to a gentleman in lunerlca, said it was worth Sir William Rose's e lie, as he was a married man, to pay 10,000 for him to leave the country £ 5,000 was enlanded of him (Sir George Lewis) as the price allowing the case not to continue.

During the hearing of the last case o suggestion was made that Sir William Rose )bould be removed from the case another and co- J^Pondent found. He (Sir George) never heard bf such a thing, and did not even know of the otesent suit until he saw it in the newspapers. eUher directly nor indirectly was there any 8uggestion made to release Sir William Rose from thO suit on condition of finding another co- tePondent. No offer was made by Sir William se, or any partner of Sir William Rose, to find pother co-respondent. Sir George Lewis said he lid never heard of Mr Maddox," whom the Petitioner last week said had been to negotiate Witb him on the subject. The President The petitioner, under some Assure, admitted that he had mentioned Jer- tard's name as co-respondent. flir George Lewis: So far as I know, the whole taitlt is absolutely without foundation. I have 110 knowledge of the existence of such a person III Mr Maddox. Air Yelverton said he had two witnesses 1* no would speak to a gentleman giving the rne of Maddox seeing them at the Hotel V 'ctoria, and that they were under the im- I)remion he was an agent of Sir Wm.

Volkman, of Crauley, Surrey, who 'aid he was a justice of the peace for West Ham, J'*8 then called and stated that he "? known Mr Rogers 10 or 12 years, On the Sunday preceding the last trial Mr 4139eca sent to him and bis wife to say that some- one was "trying to get at him" in the case, and |j8Sesting that they should go to the Victoria "°teJ. Mr Rogers declined to see the gentleman, lv40 gave the name of Maddox, and witness and Ilia wife saw him on Mr Rogers's behalf. Mr "Maddox represented himself as being concerned lth Sir William Rose in some South African nd scheme, and he saw the same gentleman g on the solicitors' bench during the trial.

I Sir George L wis was recalled, and said he never heard of Mr Maddox. Mr Rogers at the time was asking for £ 5,000 io withdraw from the case. Somebody sat beside him (Sir George) in I' COUt',t and seemed to take an interest in tiie case, iLttt ne was a stranger to him. I Manager at the Opera House, Mr Charles Aider, manager at the Opera House, Northampton, saidthatin June last .MlI!nle Palmer and Mr Jerrard were at the theatre, and certain iactsctmeto his knowledge with reference to them. He did not speak about the matter except to Mr Robertson, of the Strand Theatre, in November last. He did not see Mr Rogers until January this year. Mr Rogers Astonished. I Mr W. J. Robertson, stage manager at the Strand Theatre, said Mr Noble mentioned to him about what had occurred at the hotel at Blis- worth, and next day he told Mr Rogers, who seemed astonished at it and said he did not believe it. He was thoroughly upset. The President As if he was discovering the fault of an hitherto innocent wife ? Witness accompanied Mr Rogers to make in- quiries at the hotel at Blisworfch, where it was alleged Minnie Palmer and Mr Jerrard had stayed together. The President Did Not Doubt It. I Counsel said he had evidence that Mrs Rogers had been living with Jerrard ever since. The President said the evidence of adultery need not be multiplied he did not doubt it. Mr Yelverton said he had called everybody he could except the solicitor for the petitioner in the last suit, and he could not be found. He sub. mitted that the petitioner was entitled to a decree. I Another Adjournment. I The President said that supposing he thought this was a correct agreement and that the petitioner sold his case against Sir Wm. Rose, the question might arise whether such a person could maintain another suit against another person. He clearly could not maintain a suit against the same co-respondent. Mr Yelverton said Mr Rogers was anxious to explain with regard to the allegation that he had demanded £ 10,000. The President said he did not care very much about that, because the petitioner himself had told him he expected to get 21,000. Mr Yelverton He was intimidated by fear of fnrther proceedings. The President said he would give him full credit for that. He desired the attendance of the solicitor in the former suit, and for that purpose lie adjourned the case again until a day hereafter to be fixed.
DOGS AND EAR CROPPING.I
DOGS AND EAR CROPPING. I Canine Intelligence. I M. G. W. Murdoch, writing in the current number of the Animal World, protests against the practice of "cropping" by dog fanjers a "not only barbarous, but an artistic blunder." He recalls acurious incident of canine intelligence, which seems to have a bearing on the p,,Illt:- "The gamekeeper friend already alluded to had a dog that slept with one ear always cooked up, as I have seen it dozens of times, and in a recent sketch of his life and character I wrote for a paper in the district where he was well known and highly respected, I recalled to memory some of the characteristics of that dog, and particularly its remarkable ear, that is the ear it never lay upon. and which was always kept on the qui vive, as it were. That dog was what Burns has stigma- bised as a messen,' alias a lurcher,' and what some would call a mongrel. It was a cross between a smooth-coated collie and a deerhound- an accidental cross for which I was in some way responsible—but was endowed with many fine gifts, and for practical retrieving purposes, either from water or on land, was a match for any spaniel or thoroughbred retriever in the country side. One night we were acting on Dugald Dal- getty's principle, and stowing away (inside) much I provender,' consishng of roast rabbit and mut- ton bones, bread, and tea, preparatory to a night's fox-hole stopping on a distant part of the estate, of which mo' friend had the game overcharge. Luatli was lying before a blazing log tire, asleep, dreaming, as dogs do, with occasional muffled barks, yelps, and growls, so strikingly indicative of that peculiar psychologi- cal phenomenon both of dogs and men. But his '-wawkriff' earwar, cocked, and when my friend remarked that we would take only Rat with us-a broken-haired fox-terrier— I could see that ear move and show peculiar signs of attention. Before we had finished Luath got up, stretched himself, got a bone or two, then slipped out into the kitchen. We started with Rat, Our way led through a small village about a mile from the keeper's cottage, and we called at a pub for a dram. There we encountered a notorious poacher, whom, by the way, my friend greeted, and he made the casual remark that Luath had passed him on the road, making its way rapidly in the direction of S- Coppice. That was true. We found him there waiting for us, fully five miles distant from the keeper's cottage. I feel certain that if that dog's ears had been cropped, especially the 'wawlcriff ear, it would not have so easily heard and understood our conversation. As it was, the fact is even to me now u little puzzling."

I SOLICITORS' BANKRUPTCY.
I SOLICITORS' BANKRUPTCY. I Strange Disclosures. The question of the Bankruptcy of Llewellyn Malcolm Wynne and Camobell Montague Ed ward Wynne, solicitors, of Lincolns Inn Fields, was again brought before the Registrar in the London Bankruptcy Court to-day. From the observations of Mr Wildey, the Official Receiver, it appears that the senior partner, late Conservative candidate for Banbury, had not yet surrendered, and that a warrant for his arrest had been applied for and granted. No arrest had, however, yet been officially notified to the Official Receiver. The junior partner, in his statement, said he knew for three or four years that things were not going on as they should do, and in July, 1894, the firm firm had practically arranged to file a petition in bankruptcy. This intention was, however, aban- doned, and the junior partner was induced to continue in the business. It appeared the senior partner's appearance in the divorce suit last January caused a run on the firm, who were unable to meet the demands. On March 2nd he informed his partner he was going away. He had not been seen since the bankruptsy. Wynne attributed the failure of the firm to the heavy drawings of his partner, and the serious deprecia- tion in the value of securities, and to locked up capital. Numerous irregularities existed in the books, which were calculated to mislead and con- ceal the true state of the firms affairs, and the drawings of Ll. Wynne added to his stok Exchange losses, had been at the rate of L28,150 for the last nine years ending December, since which date he had drawn £ 6,903. An analysis of accounts shows that of the unsecured indebted- ness, £ 250,11? consisted of trust money, the property of clients. Llewellyn Wynne was trustee in 22 matters, and the Official Receiver observes that as no special account was opened at the bank au investigation may probably mcreaee the debts. The separate debts of the senior partner amounted to L7,277, and the free assets about 23,000. Separate accounts of the junior partner show a surplus of j6661. The public examination was fixed for the 14th inst.

Suicide at Cardiff Barracks.
Suicide at Cardiff Barracks. I Capt. Nevvnham-Davies Sheets Himseif. i INQUEST AND VERDICT. Betore Mr E. B. Heece and a special jury an inquiry was held at Cardiff Barracks this after- noon into the circumstances attending the death of Captain Arthur Porter Newnham-Davies, who shot himself in his bedroom early on Monday morning. Captam Arthur Henry U. Tindal was the first I witness called. He stated that he was adjutant of the 3rd Battalion Welsh Regimonls He knew the deceased, who was a captain in the 2nd Bat- talion of the Regiment, doing duty at the depot. Deceased was 34 years of age, and ho had known him since 1888. He had been quartered at Cardiff about 18 mouths. Witness noticed nothing strange in his manner until Sunday, althosigh he was in the habit of teeing him every day. On that day witness happened to be looking over a book relating to the retirement of officers, when the deceased remarked, Ob, I see what it is. This is a hint that I should go. I wish you would tell me the truth about it, because I would send me papers in at once." Witness replied that he did not understand what he meant. I Deceased pointed to the book witness was look i mg at, but he assured him that it had nothing to t'lo with him. He replied, Well, if J'ou will show me that it will relieve iny mind immensely." Witness thought these remarks which were made about two ',o clock on Sunday afternoon remarkably strange. Deceased had had no trouble with his regiment in any way, but was exceedingly popular. I Witness knew him very well, but did not know that he was in any money troubles in fact, he did not know of any scrape that he might have got into what- ever. He dined with Captain Davis on Sunday, and also went out for a walk with him in the afternoon. He was very quiet then. but that was usually the case with him, deceased being a very reserved man. After returning from the walk he was sitting with him on one side in an ante- room, and another officer on the other side. When the latter left the room he said, What is he muttering at me for," but he (witness) might say that the officer never muttered at at all. That was another thing that struck him as being strange. Between 11.30 and midnight on Sunday he came to his room, sat down on witness's bed, and they bad a conversa- tion together, in the course of which deceased said some strange things. He told deceased that he appeared to be a little worried, and said that he ought to go away on leave to- morrow. He brightened up and seemed quite pleased at this. Witness then accompanied him to his room and sat talking to him while he was getting to bed. He never thought there was anything the matter with him then. Deceased said that he wanted to write some letters, but witness suggested that he should do this in the morning, and he acquiesced. Witness saw him get into bed and then retired to his own room, which was immediately below that of deceased. At 1215 a.m. he heard a report of a gun, lighted a candle and rushed to deceased's room. When he got there a lighted candle wos on the chair at the side of his bed, and deceased was lying on his back. A revolver was clutched in his right hand, and blood was coming from his mouth. Witness went to Dr. Healey's room, which was just across the passage, and woke him up. Upon exaininating deceased the doctor pronounced him dead. There had been some conversation about cuckoos on Friday afternoon m the mess-room, and he made the strange remark that whenever cuckoo was mentioned hs thought that it had something to do with him. Witness told him that he should not think any- thing like that. The Coroner It is perfectly clear that he was suffering from delusions, and it is also perfectly clear that whenever any conversation was going on he thought he was being alluded to, but it was nothing of the kind. The next witness was Dr. Thomas Healey, surgeon lieutenant-colonel of the medical staff in charge of the depot. He stated that he had known deceased 10 months, but had never observed auyfcfting strange in his manner until Sunday night. On that day, between 7.30 and 8 o'clock, when he was dressing for dinner, he came into his room and said, "Look here, old man, I am in great trouble. I wish you would try and get me out of it." Witness asked him what was the matter, and received a reply that he did not know, but felt that something was poing to happen. He thought Captain Davis-was merely out of sorts, and in subsequent conversation advised him to go away on leave far a few davs' fishing. They then went down to dinner, and deceased appeared to be all right. Ine was a very quiet, reserved man, and was tempgrate and mode- rate 111 all his habits. Witness lef,,b him with others in the ante-room and went to bed, but Was awakened by Captain Tindal soon after l?s and went to deceased's room, where he found him lying as described by tha previous witness. He breathed two Qr three times after he saw him Witness had examined the body mid found that ho had shot himself in the month. The bullet had taken an upward direction through the roof of the mouth, shattered the bone at the top of the head, but did not penetrate right through the scalp, the skin just keeping it in. There was an empty cartridge case in the revolver (produced) which, belonged to deceased. lie had never known him to be in any trouble, and tie had never complained. Deceased had stated that Cardiff was a most depressin" place, alld:thai; he did not like It.. He always was better out of it, especially in his home at Kent. This was all the evidence adduced, and the Coroner having briefly summed up, the jury returned a verdict "That deceased committed suicide during a state of temporary insanity."

ISUDDEN DEATHS AT NEWPORT.
SUDDEN DEATHS AT NEWPORT. Two cases of very sudden death occurred at Newport yesterday. In both instances the de- ceased were well enough to attend a place of worship on Sunday, but succumbed during the night or early on Monday morning. Miss Nicholas, for upwards of 30 years the trusted housekeeper to Mr H. Phillips, J.P., but who latterly has been living at Maindee, attended Summerhill Baptist Church on Sunday morning, and appeared in fair helth during the rest of the day, but died in the night from an attack of asthma. The other case was that of Mrs Bur- leigh, wife of Mr W. Burleigh, and daughter of the late Mr Daniel Tovey. This lady attended the Tabernacle Church morning and evening, and walked to Maindee in the evening. Daath in her case was duo to heart disease, for which complaint she had been under Dr. Muilins.

ISPORTING ITEMS. I
I SPORTING ITEMS. I Merrywise will be ridden out for a place at | Chester. The O.-iziba, having on board the celebrated Australian stallion Carbine, arrived at Colombo last Wednesday. There is nothing amiss with St. Frusquin, and the colt will oppose High Treasurer at Kempton Park. St. Frusquin has been tr:ed better than Gulistan. It is said that J. Ross, the well-known Associa- tion football forward, is to be given a trial at cricket for Lancashire during the ensuing season. Slow Step is a. very good-looking colt by Bar- caldino cut of the .bsautifully-bred Waltz, by Isonorr.y out of Spmaway, and he showed fair 1 form several times last year. Orange Blossom, the dam of Newcourfc, was shot the other day at the age of 26. She has been a useful servant, having bred no fewer than 12 foals in succession. Fred Johnson has issued a challenge to box George Dixon, of the States, or anyone else in the world, at 8it 6!b. give or take lib, for B200 aside, and the largest purse obtainable. Johnson is willing to box either in England or go to America. Two important gallops of horses engaged in the K'.unpton Bark Jubilee Stakes took place on New- market Heath yesterday. Irish Car, Rwensbury (G. Chaloiier up), Kils;tilagh.Lti (T. Loates in the saddle), Hebron, and Whisperer were sent a mile, and finished in the order named. Irish Car was simply started as a pacemaker, and our New- market correspondent speaks highiy of Captain Machell's candidate. Court, Ball also had a stripped trial gallop over a mile with Sir Henry James, Platter, and Sarana. Lord Cadogan's horso ran behind the ip.-)ir tirst named, but in I front of Sarana, who was really the test mare. Court Ball has a great chance of success, says our repi cisentative at headquarters. According to rumour, Laodamia will be well backed for the Jubilee Stakes. Laodamia only ran twice last season—in the Royal Hunt Cup and Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, starting at 100 to 1 in the former event and fifties in the latter, so it cannot be said she carried much money. She also started at 100 to 1 against in the Cambridgeshire won by Molly Morgan, so cannoo have been fancied for that race. The haudicapper has not let her down graatly, for she was then conceding El Diablo 31b, and will on Saturday allow him 61b, this being something to her advantage, as she was only three years old in 1393. Laodamia has not been frequently seen upon racecourses, the illness of her owner and breeder. Mr Murphy, only permitting her to run once upon an Irish racecourse as a two year old, when she cantered away with her race. Mr lIfnrphy died a few weeks later, and her grall(i figure excited so much interest that Mr F\11tol\ had to go to 3,5Q0gs before securing her at auction. In the autumn 1892 she me over to Liverpool, started at 100 to 1 against for the Nursery Stakes, and giving Marcion 61b, ran a close third to the Riyal Hampton tiyer and Salerno, whilst behind her was Prisoner, to whom ahe was conceding no less than 21!b. On such form as this, and if still as speedy as then, Laodamia will take some beating on Saturday.

Dia, Monday.—Lieutenant Gardon, who has so often been killed by native reports, has come down from Chitrai and joined General Gatacre north of Kah Drosh. He has resumtd his duties as political officer. It has transpired that Sher Afzul has given his version of the circumstances which led to his joining in the attack upon Chitrai. He says that he left Cabul owing to a summons from Umra Khan. He conferred with the Pathan chief, and it was finally agreed that in the event of their attack upon the British garrison at Chitrai being successful Sher Afzul should have the Mehtarship, while Unira Khan •fstiouid take the rifles, ammunition, and had been delivered into their bauds. They could not conceive that any expedition could arrive ill time to rt-n-ler aid. The narrative of Sher Afzul has cleared up many points hitherto obscure lelating to the alliance between these chiefs. The report that the boxes of Martiui-Hcnry ammunition found stored at Dir was never issued from the Indian Government store is entirely premature. It is conjectured that much of this ammunition came down the valley 40 days ago, which points to its being a portion of the supply captuied when Lieutenants Rossaud Fowler were overpowered. Nevertheless, there is an uneasy impression tnai an illicit trade in arms prevails upon the frontier, to which the authorities have not yet obtained the clue. Rifles are stolen yearly by dating natives from hillside stations, and occasionally » deserter will take such arms as he can gather and jom a native chief, but these causes alone would not account for the arms and ammunition in the enemy's havidg.-Centi-al News.
I CANON THOMPSON ON SUNDAY…
CANON THOMPSON ON SUNDAY I RADING. A public meeting in connection with the Cardiff Branch of the Christian Social Union was held on Monday evening 111 St. John's Schoolroom, when an address on the relations between the Church and Socialism was delivered by the Rev. C. L. Marson, M.A., vicar- designate of Hambridge. The chair was taken by the Rev. Canon Thompson, and there were also presenis the Revs. F. J. Beck, C. H. Empson, J. F. Summers, R. S. Plant, A. E. H. JJyslop, W. Jones, Ll. Crichton, and George Sinclair, Professor Richards, Dr. Ashley Bird (Penarth), Dr. Rhys Jones, Mr S. Hobson, aud a number of Fab sail Socialists. The CHAIRMAN", in his opening address, said the members of this Union were Socialists in the true sense of the word desiring to bring about the union of man with man, of brother with brother, of neighbour with neighbour. At their very doors numerous questions were crying for the attention of all right-thinking people. In Cardiff, for instance, it was a shame that there should exist houses which ought not to be tenanted by human beings, much less by Christian people—(applause) -in which it was almost impossible for the first principles of morality, and therefore of health and wholesome living, to find anything like exercise or free play. It would be a credit to Cardiff when, either m itn corporate capacity or by the consciences of individuals oeuig aroused, these places were swept away. Cardiff, like many other towns, was possessed by large landowners, who were lords of the soil. What a magnificent power of blessing and benefit to his fellow creatures was the lord of the soil if he would only recognise the responsibility which attached to his property. It was a bounden obligation on the conscience of the individual landowner, and it ought to be an obligation on the governing body to see that such measures as those were carried out. (Applause.) Tiie man in receipt of a large income from ground rents ought to see that the toilers did not suffer in order that he might be rich. This Union further sought to make Sunday a day of entire recreation and rest the best sense, and to bring enlight- eneCl iiDerty to an wno profess to call themselves Christians. It was a pitiable sight to see nearly all the shops closed on Sundays save those that were the least wanted—the tobacconists. Why should they be open when tobacco could so easily be purchased on Saturday or Friday ? Why should the girls employed in those shops be deprived of their Sunday rest and spend the best hours of that day in the elo'-e immurement of the shop ? (Loud applause.) He saw no objection to the upelling- of public-houses in the middle of Sunday for an hour that men might get their dinner beer, but he spoke on the question of Sunday rest rather in the interest of those not alway" able to take care of themselves. (Ap- plause.) The RPV. C. L. MAKSON t)iu delivered a long and keenly reasoned lecture. At t ti(- close of the lecture a discussion followed, Mr A. C. Kirk, Mr Hicks, and other gentlemen taking part. In answer to a question, Mr Marson expressed himself as distinctly opposed to the teaching of religion in elementary day schools, a point upon which the chairman staged ha entirely dtifered from the lecturer 011 the motion of Mr HOBSON, seconded 'by Professor RICHARDS, a cordial vute of thanks was passed to Mr Marson for his address.

The Rev. David Young, late of Cardiff, preached anniversary sermons at Abertillery on Sunday to crowded congregations. Mr Young has preached here frequently before, tne chapel always being too small. On this occasion the Market Hall, which will seat 1,400. was taken, this large building being crowded out. The ser- vices were of exceptional power. The sermon on Sunday morning was by universal consent pro- nounced to be of a very high order. Why don't you try to get Mr Youug back to Wale* 1" was on the lius of mallv.

I Cardiff Exhibition. I Meeting of the Executive Council. A meeting of the Executive Council of the Cardiff Exhibition was held on Monday after- J 110011 ill the Council Chamber, the W Mayor (Aldern an P. \V. Carey) presiding. There were also present Councillor T. H. Riches, Councillor E. Thomas, Messrs W. Riley, Ithel Rees, E. Haudcock, JUII., F. S. Lock, J. B. Ferrier, Edwin Seward (architect to the council), and VV alter Cook (secretary). ARRANGEMENT OV COMMITTKKS. vn the minutes ot the sub-committee, Whicii 'Y, I-, L on the 3rd inst. for the pur- pose of considering the appointment of committee?, b-ing brought up for confirmation, Mr Ferrier drew attention to the fact that the name of Mr W. A. Morgan, hon. secretary of the Cardiff Orchestral Society, was absent from the Musical Committee, though be was a well-known man in local musical circles. — After some discussion it was decided that the names of Mr T. E. Aylward, conductor of the Cardiff Musical Society, aud one of the chorus masters of the Cardiff Triennial Musical festival, and Mr W. A. Morgan be &dded to the Musical Committee.—A letter was read from Mr S. F. Walker res) gniiig his position on the Electrical Committee on the ground that his views and those of Mr Massey, als,, i member of the committee, on the subject of electrical principles, were hopelessly at variance. It was decided to accept Mr Walker's resignation, and to appoint in his place Mr Lowden, consulting electrical engineer, Barry Dock. Mr Councillor Trounce was appointed a member of the Maritime Com- mittee. THE GCARANW5E FUND. The Secretary informed the Council that the guarantee fund now amounted to Ell,900, includ- iuff iiromises. Mr Robert Forrest had written a large number of letters on the subject—about 50 —to various friends, and he had received t iiiiiii- ber of promises of support. Messrs Cory Bros., Ltd., had promised £ 150 Messrs Forster Browne and Rees, Lloo Mr Kemys Tynte. L100 Messrs Thomas. Riches and Co., J3100 Mr T. D. John, Coiiton, JE50. There were other replies yet to come in. Mr J. B. Ferrier promised 150, and to c.rne if]. L Mr E. Handcock £ 50 to the guarantee fund. Messrs Downing and Handcock had, through Mr Forrest., promised £50, The Taff Vale Railway Company had been written to in reference to receiving a deputation from the Council upon the subject of a possible increase of the company's contribution to the guarantee fund. Mr Beasley wrote to say that the letter wa; laid before the directors, who antici- pated what the object of the deputation wouid be. The board decide that they could not increase their guarantee of 100 guineas. Subsequently Mr Beasley wrote to say that if the Council still desired to send a deputation the board would be prepared to receive it.—The Rhymney Railway directors would not be meeting in Cardiff until July. I hey haa been writteu to and asked to receive a deputation, it being pointed out to them that in Manchester seven different railways each guaranteed £500 to the iii that city.- Mr Adye, of the Great Western Railway, had been communicated with on the subject of the guarantee fund, and he had stated that if a letter were addressed to him he would see that it was forwarded to he?dquarte?a. This had been since done.-The Mayor said he understood th?t the Great Western Company were perfectly prepared to meet the Council tea?ou?b!y. They m?ht look for a certain amount of success when the matter came forward.—It having transpired that Mr Hubbard, the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, was in Cardiff at the present time, the Mayor and Councillor Thomas were ap- pointed a committee to see him in reference to a CO:ltrib.1tioll to the Guarantee Fund. I NOT AN INTERNATIONAL AIIFAIR. A letter was read from Sir Frederick Abel expressing strong approval cf the suggestion of the Council that the services of Sir Somers Vine be retained as expert and ad viser iu connection with the exhibition. Sir Frederick thought it witli the exli i bitioii. would not be wise to entertain the suggestion of including foreign and Colunial exhibits it would be better to make the exhibition purely British.— Councillors Thomas aud Riches and Messrs Ferrier and Riley were appointed a special com- mittee to consider the question of retaining Sir Somers Vine as expert adviser. I THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. On the question of appointing an auditor coming forward, h Ferrier stated that the whole of the expenditure incurred should be submitted to the Finance Committee before any cheques were drawn. lie was a member of the Finance ( Committee, but tie had not been summoned to a r single meeting since tha new arrangement came into operation. It would not be necessary at this stage to appoint an auditor if the Finance Com- mittee did their duty properly. He would do nothing unless the financial work was conducted properly.—The Secretary said only two cheques had beeu drawn, one of them being for £ 250 on account of Rosebery HalL-The question of appointing an auditor was deferred. AMENDED PLANS. The minutes of the Building ConuuitOOe-wuich met before the Council meetmg-were to the effect that after consideration of the plans pre- sented by the architect (Mr Seward) it had been (Voided to reduce the cost of the buildings from S14,000 to £LO,OOO, this latter sum to include exhibition hall, machinery hall, and the R >sebery Hall, the latter amount being reducible hereafter through rebates to £ 7,000, and all the buildings to be on the C:<fhays Park site. It was felt by the Building Committee that in any case their I gT0.SS estimated expenditure in the direction nniiied should not exceed £ 10,000.
