HELPER OF JABEZ BALFOUR.
LONDON, December 24. When Jabez 'Balfour was released from prison, an unnamed city magnate, as related in Bramwell Booth's reinmscences, twice made efforts to give him a fresh start. He first gave him a chance to make good in the Far Fast, but city influences caused the attempt to fail. Then he gave him a position in Wales. Balfour entrained at London, full of hope, but died on the way.
Commissioner David Lamb, of the Salvation Army, in a letter, reveals that the unnamed city magnate was Air Tiiden-Smith, who dropped dead in the blouse of Commons on Wednesday.
-Mr Tiiden-Smith, before his death, devised a c oal scheme, based on a complete reorganisation of the industry, and improved methods of production, by which he believed wages could be increased and the price reduced The plan is now in the Government’s possession.
