AN EXTRAORDINARY CAREER. At Blackpool, on Monday, Ernest Norton Rolfe was committed to Manchester Assises, for obtaining, by means of a forged bill of exchange, 21 from John Harling, director of the Blackpool Winter Gardens. The prisoner went to Blackpool and represented him self as Mr. Bennett Burleigh, war correspondent, of London, and that he was in Blackpool to record the doings of that part of the Channel squadron whieh was expected off Fleetwood. He presented a letter of introduction purporting to be signed by Mr.

Q. A. Sala, and was well received, obtaining 21 by the fraud. Mr. Sala informed the justices that the writ ing was not his, and Mr.

James Maclntyre, of the Daily Telegraph, said Mr. Burleigh was on her Majesty's ship, Howe, and would not be back for a fortnight. The initials on the cheque were not Mr. Burleigh's handwriting. Prisoner cross-examined Mr.

Sala, and asked him if he did not remember pre siding at the banquet of the Press Clnb in 1882. Mr Sala replied that he bad presided at a Press dinner at Anderton's Hotel, but conld not remember the exact date. Asked if he sould not remember prisoner as having responded to the toast of the war corres pondents and in Egypt, Mr. Sala said he conld not. The antecedents of the prisoner, as ascertained by Superintendent uereham, or toe force.

showed an extraordinary career of crime. Prisoner is said to be wanted in New York and ou the conti nent. He commenced proceedings at Birmingham. where, on December 14, 1888. he presented himself at Highbury, the residence of Mr.

J. Chamberlain, M.P., under the name of Eitchie, and, presenting a letter ot introduction from Mr. Erasmus Wyman, a gentleman living in tue United states, whose acquaintance Mr Chamberlain had made during his visit in connection with the fisheries question, he was received bv Mr Austen Chamberiain, who readily acceded to his request to be shown over the orchid houses. At the conclusion of his inspection he suddenly remembered that he had lost his purse, from which he would suffer great inconvenience, as he was going to change his hotel that night, and as there was no time to ro to the bank, asked Mr. Auten Chamberlain to lend him a little money to tide over the difficulty.

Mr. Chamberlain did so, and the stranger departed. Next day he airain caned at Highbury, and asked Mr. Chamberlain to introduce him to a Birmingham bank as be wished to cash a bill on tho American banking firm of Dris-coll, Morgan, and Company. Mr.

Chamberlain gave him an introduction to a local bank, where a bill for 250 dols. was cashed. With the money thus obtained the loan advanced was paid. After a time the bill was returned to the drawer. On leaving Birmingham Mr.

Ritchie," it seems, went to the lirm of orchid collectors, baunders and St. Albans, where he re presented himself as Mr. Austen Chamberlain. He then ordered a small parcel of orchids, which he paid for with another American bill, getting change for his o.vn use. Ihe iraud was discovered when Mr Sair lers wrote to Mr.

Joseph Chamberlain, thanking him for the introd notion. ADout tins time also fce appeared with a letter of introduction lroni Mr. Henrv Irving (presumably forged). No money was obtained by this particular dodge. The next that is known of him is from Bailymena, in Ireland, where, as Major Knodes.

ot tue ttoyal Dragoons, ne entered into negotiations with Mr. Nathaniel Morton, of Belfast, for tbe purcnase oi nve horises ror He tendered military draft for 525, and received the change. dtoo. Ihe drait was returned, marked, INo account. He is also, waste i uy the Metropolitan police for obtaining by similar i-JO under the pretence that he was Captain Rexford, master of Lord Dorchester's yacht, the Aphrodite.

In March last he obtained from a boat builder at New Sboreham, Saatax, the sum of 20 in the name of Eric Hartig. He turned up at Greenock, and called on Mr. Thomas, boat builder, and represented himself as Captain Rathburn, the master of Lord Braasey's steam yacht Sunbeam, and said that he had been sent to get a steam launch. He presented a cheque on the Capital and Counties Bank at Hastings, for 110. He said he was abort of cash to pay his crew, and that he required A30 oi the cheque for that purpose.

and on the faith of Mr. Orr acceptance, the cheque was cashed at a bank in Greenock, the prisoner getting the 30. The cheque waa sent on to Hastings, and there declared by Lord Braasey to be a forgery. In June, as Mr. Bennett Burleigh, he obtained from Mr.

Morgan, of the Aberystwith Observer, 7 on a forged cheoae. On June 29 he cme to Blackpool and presented himself as Mr. Bennett Burleigh to Mr. Holland, giving him a letter of introduction purporting to be signed George Augusta Sala," and a visiting card, on which was tne name xcnnett jourieigu. uy means oi an introduction from Mr.

Holland, he was successful in defrauding Mr. Harling of 21, and then absconding. After this lie was nexs heard of at Douglas, Isle ot Man, on uly 14. wnere he obtained a sum of monev from Mr. I nckland, of the iCentral Hotel, under the name of Mr.

Allan Leslie. His final appearance was at Boston. Lincolnshire, where he presented himself at owineshead Abbey, the residence of Mr. G. Young, agent for Mr.

Ingram, who is part proprietor of the illurafed London Here be represented himself to be Mr. Melton Prior, chief artist of the journal mentioned. Mr. Young being absent from home, the impostor introduced himself to the ladv of the bouse, but with all his skill, coupled with re presentations that ho was in need of money, his attempts were futile. Mr.

Melton Prior had not been long gone before Mr. Young returned, and, on hearing of the visit, he suspected some imposture, and gave mrormation to tne police or Uo3ton. They at once compared the description given with that supplied by the Blackpool police o. Mr. Bennett Bur leigh, and conclnded that the two were identical.

They immediately made a tour ot the hotels in Boaion, and tound Lrnest Rolfe in the act of obtaining cash for a fictitious draft at sight for 21, drawn in favour of truest iSeviiie ttolfo, K.N., C.B., on Sir Gerald Fitzgerald, of Spring gardens, London. ENCLOSURE OF LIKDRICK CoALMON. To the Editok. here appears to be considerable doubt in the minds of many of tbe readers of yonr journal as to the power of the personsproposingto make the enclosure, to make it, and as to how they obtain such power. It seems to me that it is proposed to be done under the provisions of the Act 6 and 7 William cap.

115, and that objections to such enclosure, if any, will have to be made in accordance with section 43 of that Act, or noction 30 of 39 and 40 Victoria cap. 56. or b-rh. LOOKER ON. 'lo thm Luixok.

Pk-ase allow me to refer to the Alsop lane matter brought before tbe Town Council on ednesday lait by Mr. Styring, whec.unfortunately for the proper ventilation of the subject, the Council found itself up a tree." I fail to see what connection there is between the right of wagons to stand in a lane, and the right to cover over the same by private iudividuals. These encroachments are too serjoua to be overlooked, and if winked at will become more common. The question of Alsop lane will no doubt, as hinted by the Mayor, come up again before the Highway Committee, bnt my object is to draw attention to 'bat in my opinion is a still more serious encroachment upon public rights, and ought mt to be allowed to continue. I refer to the building over of Norfolk lane, where it adjoins Howard street.

Surely this encroachment has not also received ths sanction of the Highway Committee. Our open spaces are none too plentiful that we can afford to allow private persons to impede the flow of air, or block the light along our public thoroughfares. How there can possibly be any right to build over Norfolk lane I can-uot comprehend. I trust the Highway Committee will consider the matter also, or possibly Mr. Styring could give proper notice thereof for a future Council meeting.

ATR." POPULATION AND TRADE. To the Editor. I sometimes wonder whether the fathers of families of tho working classes trouble themselves about the increase of their numbers with reference to the increase of the quantity of manufactured articles that are likely to be required from this country, seeing that many countries that formerly were our customers now not only do not buy from us, but actually export manufactuied articles in competition agvinst r.s. The same will very shortly happen with reference to India, where the cotton factories work ten or more Lours per daifc and makes seven days per week, the natives being paid about 6d. for what 2.

would be paid for the same work in England. A MAN. WESLEYAN HOME MISSIONS. A London correspondent writes I understand that as soon as the new ecclesiastical year commences, the Wesleyan Home Missionary Committee will take into consideration certain important matters relegated fea them by the recent Conference at Sheffield, especially the best method of circumventing the three years' limit in those cases of exceptional urgency which hao arisen, and where it has been shown that a loDger ministerial term will be of tho greatest possible advantage to Wesleyan Methodism.

THE W00DH0USE MURDER.

PRISONER BEFORE 'THE MAGISTRATES. The prisoner Robert West, charged with the murder of his wife Emma West at Handsworth Woodhouse, on Saturday morning, was yesterday brought np at the Sheffield Town Hall, before Mr. W. G. Blake, Mr.

T. C. Newton, and Mr. T. W.

Cadinan. A remand was applied for and granted, the proceedings only lasting two or three miu tes. A considerable number of persona endeavoured to obtain admission to the building, but very few were allowed to enter the court. The prisoner was brought into the dock before the court opened, but sat on a low scat at the back, where he was invisible. When the case was called on he stood forward, displaying the same coolness which he exhibited at the inquest: He offered no objection to the remand, except an off-hand sort of wish that the case might be settled at once.

He was immediately removed, and will remain in custody until Friday at the Barngreave road Police Station. When prisoner stood forward, Mr. Robert Fairburn, solicitor, said i In this case your worships, I appear for the projection. The man, Robert West, is charged with the wilul murder of his wife. For reasons which I need not explain to-day, I make an application to your worships for an adjournment until Friday.

1 don think the prisoner will object. There is a great deal of other business to do to-day, and I mase that application. The Chairman (Mr. Blake): Have you any objection to yonr jjeing remanded till Friday The Prisoner Might have it settled at once, if there is any probability of settling it. I don't want to be kept in suspense like this all the while.

The Chairman Well, it is not convenient to-day. You will be remanded until Friday. Supt. Midgley In my custody. The Chairman In custody, of course.

The prisoner was at once removed from the court. FAILURE OF A SHEFFIELD DRAPER. AN ASSIGNMENT TO A WIFE. 1 A meeting of the creditors of George Pennington, draper, No. 268, Fulwood road, was held yesterday at the offices of the Official Receiver.

Mr. A. Mnir Wilson appeared for the debtor. The Official Receiver said the debtor commenced business on the 21st of April, 1884, with a capital of about 220. He had kept books, but the cash book bad not been cast up for a long time.

The debtor's statement was that his failure waa due to bad trade and want of capital, and that he only became aware of his insolvent condition a few days before he filed his petition. Two years ago he made out a statement of his affairs, which showed that he was 38 to the good. In May, 1887, he assigned all his household furniture to his wife. What was tho consideration fur that Mr. Wilson: Love and affection.

The Official Receiver Oh, that won't do. Mr. Muir Wilson: The deed is more than two years old. The Official Receiver: That does not matter. Mr.

Muir Wilson thought it did, and said he should be able to prove that his client was solvent at the time the deed of assignment was made. The Official Receiver expressed the opinion that Mr. Wilson would have some difficulty in proving that. The debtor's statement of affairs showed that the unsecured creditors amounted to 437. lis 8d and the debtor estimated his assets to realise 234.

6h. from which 24. 1. 61. had to be deducted for preferential creditor.

The deficiency waa 277. 10., so that if the debtor was solvent in May, 1887, he had lost the whole of that sum since then. This he (the Official Receiver) thought was very improbable. Mr. Muir Wilson said the deficiency was caused to a considerable extent by two building societies in Manchester having gone down.

The debtor was a mouioer of the.se societies, and he had paid into them 173. The Official Receiver His statement of affairs doesn't say so. Mr. Muir Wilson added that tho debtor's wife had been ill, which necessitated increased expense, and he had boon pressed by creditors. The Official Receiver said the debtor had been borrowing money to carry on his business, and that did not look as if he was solvent at the time he settled his furniture on bis wife.

But the matter would have to be gone into. The question was whether the creditors would leave the winding up of the estate to him or appoint a trustee. Mr. Muir Wilaou suggested that the creditors shonid leave the estate in the hand of the Official Receiver, and this wan agreed to. Ho asked the Official Receiver to give him an opportunity biter on of jutif ringthe deed, inasmuch as he prepared it.

Tho Official Reoeiver There is nothing for you to justify. A man comes and asks you to prepare a deed, and you do so. Mr. M. Wilson Bnt I believe I can show that the debtor waa solvent without a doubt at the time the deed was prepared, and that without tho aid of the property comprised in the settlement.

The Official Receiver Well, it will have to be looked into. You will, I think, have some difficnltv in proving that he was solvent, and that the deficiency has all arisen since the deed. Mr. Muir Wilson said at the time the deed was signed the debtor ad upwards of 170 in the two societies at Manchester. The Official Receiver Then it was not a good asset.

Mr. Wilson It Was a good asset until the societies went into liquidation. The Official Receiver stated that the debtor would have to make out an account showing the fctode of hi affairs on the 25th May, 1887, the date of the deed. The deed looked like a preparation. Mr.

Mnir VS'iison But its two years ago. The Official Receiver: Clever folks begin in good time. How conld he have been solvent Here he was borrowing 150 in 1885, 50 in 1884, 85 in February, 1885, and 25 on the 10th of May, 1887, the very clay when the assignment was made. He repeated that before the deed could be upheld, the debtor must prove that he was solvent at the time it wat made. THE DUKE OF PORTLAND.

The Duke of Portland entertained his Caithness tenants to dinner at Berriedale, on Saturday, when a magnificent candelabrum and other gifts, subscribed for on the occasion of the marriage of the duke and duchess, were presented. The duke, in acknowledging the presents, referred to the attachment which existed between himself and his tenants, and asked bis hearers on no account to allow professional agitators, whose wicked and nefarious trade it was to stir up ill-will for the sake of their own interests and glorification, to step in and sever the bond of union which had so long knit himself and his tenants together. The duke and dnchess afterwards drank the health of the tenants. YOUNG LADY DROWNED. A sad fatality occurred yesterday at Holly Brook Honse, Co.

Sligo, the residence of Colonel Ffoli.ott, D.L. His yonugest daughter, named Anna, aged 23 years, left the house about noon for the purpose of gathering some water lilies growing on the border of a small lake within the demesne. While doing so, she overbalanced herself and fell into tho lake and was drowned. STEAM TRAWLER ASHORE NEAR SCARBRO'. Yesterday morning early the steam trawler Leading Star, of North Shields, went ashore at Haybnrn Wykn in a dense fog.

It is expected that she will be floated again. Independent Order of Rechabites. On Monday the Ebenezer Juvenile Tent had their annual trio to Baslow. The members met at the Temperance Hall, Towuhead street, at 9 a.m., where fourteen wagonettes (supplied by Mr. M.

Cottam) were speedily filled by 360 juvenile members, friends, and superinteulents, and were soon on their way to Barlow, where they arrived about twelve o'clock. The Wesleyan schoolrooms were secured for the accommodation of the young people.

Tester-day John Hersey, aged 25, who lives at 25, Danville treet, and is employed at Messrs. Cammell's works, was attending to a planing machine when he got. caught by the band. He was dragged along for some distance, when the band broke and luckily saved Mersey from being drawn into the machinery.

The injured man was taken to the Infirmary. Fire in the wicker, A slight fire occurred last evening at a lock-up shop in the occupation of Mr. J. B. Barber, tea dealer, adjoining the Wilberforce Cafe, in the Wicker.

The fire was discovered by Police-constable Brown, who saw smoke issuing from the cellar. He broke into the premises and found the fire had originated among some tea caddie and other lumber in the cellar. He set to work to extinguish the flames, and the fire brigade speedily arriving, completed that work before much damage was done. Mr. Barber bad only left the premises about an hour before th firo wae oicovered, and the cause of it is unknown.

Vegetarianism in Sheffield. Under the auspices of the Sheffield and District Vegetarian Society, what was called a fruit banquet was provided last evening in the Friends' Schoolroom, Hartahead, and was attended by about 300 persons, a fact which proves that vegetarianism has grown in Sheffield since the formation of the society a few months ago. The banquet included melons, plums, grapes, greengages, tomatoes, apples, pears, cherries, gooseberries, plum and seed loaf, wholemeal bread, butter, Scotch scones, oatmeal cakes, milk, limejuioe, and other articles, and was much appreciated. After the cloth had been removed M.W.I. Hall, the president of the society, occupied the chair, and Mr.

R. E. O'Callaghan, the secretary of the London Vegetarian Society, delivered au address on Vegetarianism. Mr. O'Callaghan, who had a very cordial reception, spoke of the importance of proper food, and argued that when they appealed to chemistry they found that pulse and cereals, compared bulk for bula" with flesh meat, would produce more nourishment than the hitter, and contained all the nitrogenous elements necessary for building up the muscles vf working men, and making them able endure severe fatigue.

He contended that a man's anatomy was evidently built to fit him for a vegetarian, and he alluded specially to the shape of the teeth, length of the jaws, the saliva, the smooth tongue, the formation of the stomach, and its gastric Juices, the length of the intestinal canal and its convolutions, all of which, he said, showed that man was intended to be a vegetarian. If they looked throughout the world, they would find that most of the working men and women were practically vegetarians. He mentioned many countries in which the principles advocated by him were practised. In London and the suburbs he knew about 100 men and women who had been vegetarians for ten, twenty, and even fifty years, many of them never having had Besh meat in their lives, and yet they were robnst and happy. Flesh meat was impure, and the associations of the slaughter house were decidedly not so inviting as those of the orchard and cornfield.

Vegetarianism was much more economical than flesh meat and the latter would, by the very nature of things, become dearer, though vegetable food, which was cheap now, would become still cheaper. The lecturer conclnded by describing the cruelty inflicted on beasts in the laughter bouse, and said flesh eating was a barbaric taste and a relic of savage times. After several questions had been satisfactorily answered, the proceedings with the unal votes of thanks. Accident near Owler Bar. On Monday night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, an accident occurred near Owler Bar.

It appears that a gentleman and hia coachman, from Curbar, were on the return journey from Sheffield. When going up the hill between Totley and Owler Bar, the night being very dark, the coachman alighted from the vehicle to lesd the horse Bp the road. A loaded wagonette coming in the opposite direction ran into the front of the trap, maahing it and doing other damage. The passengers and the horse escaped injury. After getting st liberty with the wagonette, the driver proceeded on his journey without rendering any assistance or inquiring what damage bad been done.

A conveyance was subsequently obtained from Tctley, and the party proceeded to their destination. Daily Blunders, Dictionary of; Secretary's Assistant and Correspondent's Guide: and Book of Synonyms, Is. each. Published by Whittaker and Co. Sold by all Booksellers.

Although, prior to hie confeaaion, he was emphatic in declaring to his friends and rela- itives his innocence of the crime for which be had been condemned to die, he has since carefully avoided anv reference to the subject whatever during hia interviews with them.

THE STRATFO D-ON-AVON TRAGEDY. VICTIMS STILL UNIDENTIFIED. Mr. Couchman, coroner, for South Warwickshire, opened inquiry at Stratfordon-Avon, yesterday afternoon, relative to the deaths of John Laehmann von Gamsenfela, described as editor of the Londoner Journal and a lady and chi'd, names unknown, who were murdered on Monday in a cottage on the outskirts of the town. The Coroner remarked that he wis afraid the inquest was held too soon, as the police bad not had time to establish the identity of the female victims.

The bodies had not been identified yet, but he proposed to take the evidence of the witnesses present, which would, no doubt, throw some light upon this very painful affair. Mrs. Freeman, at whose house the victim lodged, said the woman had often remarked that she dearly loved her husband, meaning Laehmann. She heard only two pistol snots. Mr.

Norbury, surgeon, who examined tht bodies, said the woman and child were apparently shot in their sleep. They were 1 ing in a quite natural attitude, the woman's arms being across her breast. The bedclothes were not disturbed, and there waa no evidence of a struggle. Witness believed the man held the weapons one in each hand, and fired simultaneously, and this theoryt was corroborated by tht evidence of Mrs. Freeman, who heard only two shots.

One of the man's shoulders was bruised in his fall. A blood-stained bullet was found in the bedclothes. It had passed the woman's bead. Witness believed a bullet waa still in the Hiild's brain. The ahots were sufficient to produce almost instant death in each case.

Superintendent Simmons said he found photographs of Laehmann and the lady in the former's pocket, together with five cartridges fitting the revolver and pistol. No information had been received of the woman's name and address. The Coroner adjourned the inquiry until September 4th, and ordered the burial of the bodies. Johann Laehmann von Gamsenfela was a native of Prague, 40 years ofd, and formerly an rtillery officer in the Austrian army. About 12 years ago he came to London and founded the Loruioner Journal, and bad conducted that publication np to Wednesday last, when he left town for Stratford.

He ia described by the proprietor of ihe paper aa a singularly reticent man. As an in -nance of bis secretiveneea, it may be stated that his private address was unknown to any of hia cdleagnes. He was a man of high education and striking appearance, married, with one child, a boy, to whom he was devotedly attached. He had been estranged from his wife for a long time, and had been in the habit of her an allowance of 17a. 9d.

a week, for which the boy called every batnxday. On Saturday last he made hia call aa usual, and waa told that his father had left town ou Wednesday for Stratford Nothing more wae beard of the boy or bis mother, and on the receipt of the newe of tbe terrible tragedy it waa conjectured that Gamaenfel's wife and child had followed him to Stratford. An intimate friend of the late editor of the Londoner Journal, Mr. A. Faratay, beais out the proprietor's statement but waa inclined to think that the murdered woman wae not the murderer's wife.

ALLEGED ASSAULT BY A JUDGE. JUSTICE NORTH SAID TO HAVE THRASHED TWO SCOTCH LABOURERS. The special correspondent of the Edinburgh Evening News says an extraordinary ajsault case ia alleged to have taken place near Craigellachie, in Strathspey, For years past the question oi iree angnng nas oeen a ourning one Detweeu tne natives and tne lnglisn sporting tenants. Two Rothes labourers the other day were angling in the Spey, near Arndilly, when they met JLiord justice JNorta, who ordered them off. They refused, whereupon the Judge is alleged to have promptly thrown off his coat and attacked them.

The anglers offered no resistance, but complained to the neaxeat policeman. The Chief Constable of Banffshire ia investigating tbe charge, and more will probably be heard of the matter, which has caused great excite ment; in tne district. SHOCKING DEATH OP A POACHER. SUSPECTED On Monday night collier named Robert Hurst, aged 31, of Wigan, waa found dead on the London and North-Weetern Railway, at Hindley Green. He waa lying on the line with his head frightfully smaahed.

It is supposed that when crossfng the line he waa knocked down by a passing train. Near him were 40 yards of netting usually used for gaming, and the opinion is that he was proceeding on a poaching expedition when he met with his death. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE AND HIS TENANTS. The Duke of Devonshire has given the owners of his leasehold properties in Stanwix the opportunity of purchasing the leaseholds, and so con verting the property into freehold. The sum asked by bis Grace is about 30 years' purchase, which will in some cases amount to 900 or 1000.

Some of the leaseholders will, it is expected, avail themselves of this opportunity of becoming the owners of the freehold. GIFT TO THE PRINCE OF WALES. A STRANUE STORY. The London correspondent of the Newcastle Chronicle says The Prince of Wales is said to have received a somewhat novel present.
