TRANSFERENCE OF SCHOOLS. —Tho Chairman said the committee appointed by tho Board had met the Llanwonno School Board with reference to the transference of the school" in the lower portion of the district. Lord Aberdare at once took up the point that the schools had been transferred to the Llan- wonno School Board from the 15th inst., and the only question then to discuss was that of adjustment— what amount should be paid by the Llanwonno School Board to them. Well, according to the reso- tion passed at their last meeting, the Llanwonno Board were to take over the debts on the school, but they said that they did not think they ought to accept any of the debts. He pointed out to them that they (the Aberdare School Board) had incurred a very large expenditure in providing schools where they were required for the whole of the district, and that the money had been borrowed for the purpose on the security of the rates of the whole parish, and that, therefore, that portion of the parish in which these schools were situated, was liable towards the repay- ment of the loans (cries of Yes "). Lord Aberdaro then referred to the Act of Parliament on this matter, and the Act stated that adjustment must be made. and if it could not be arranged, or any amount agreed upon, it should be referred to arbitration. He (the noble Lord) then suggested that a irmitlonian who had bad a good deal of experience, viz., Mr. Arthur Lewis, Llandaff, shoulJ be appointed arbitrator. They declined to go into the question of appointing an arbitrator until they received a detinite reply from them as to whether they would reconsider our views. Lord Aberdare proposed that we submit our demand in writing to them, and the Llanwonno School Board would consider it at their meeting on the first Monday in February. They said they would do that. Mr. Morris had drafted a letter which was certainly very good as far aa it went, but before proceeding in the matter he thought they ought to consult some local authorities as to what in his opinion they should recommend. He therefore proposed that the Clerk be authorised to seo Mr. T. Phillips about the matter. He was as good as anybody in tho place, and generally did their legal business, lie proposed that the Clerk should consult with Mr. Phillips some day next week to determine the form thatthenlaim should take. Their contention is that the debt upon these schools amount- ing to £ l,150ahouldnot be taken over. He believed that the Llanwono Board were liable to pay JB590. They ought to ask them to take their share of the debts upon Cwnpennar and Mountain Ash Schools. He believed that the best course thev could adopt was to call in Mr. Phillips.—Mr. W. Charles seconded and the motion was carried unanimously.

HIRWAIN JOINT SCHOOL. — The report of the managers of the above school was read. Miss Mary B. Jones had resigned her post as assistant mistress. -The Clerk was instructed to write to the Depart- ment with reference to re-instating Miss Elizabeth Morris as teacher in the Girl's School.—A letter was read from the Department in which it was stated that that the plans for additions and alterations to the Boys' and Infants' Schools had been approved of.-It was decided to advertise for tenders for the necessary work.

EXAMINATION. —The Clerk reported that II.M. Inspector would examine Amman School on 12th February, at 10 o'clock Aberaman Boys' School, February 13th Girls' 16th and Infants 15th, at the same hour.

AMBCLANCE CLASS. —Mr. Llewellyn Richards, hon. secretary of the Ambulance Class, wrote asking for a loan of the Town Board School on a Sunday for holding the examination.—The Chairman said that the ambulance classes were doing excellent things, and he thought they should assist them in every way. They were an educational body, and the ambulance class was doing very useful work in instructing per- sons in the first aid to the injured.—The application was granted.

WELSH IN THE SCHOOLS. —The Clerk said he had made out a return showing the number of head teachers able to speak Welsh under the Board, and also the schools where Welsh was taught. Abera- man—Three head teachers spoke Welsh, and the language was taught as a class subject in the boys' department. Welsh songs were taught in the two departments. Abernant—Three head teachers and two assistants spoke Welsh, which was taught as a class subject in the boys' school. Recitation and singing in three department. Amman—One head- teacher who taught his scholars a Welsh song. Abergwawr — Three head-teachers, two of whom spoke Welsh recitation taught in two departments and songs in three.

DEAK SIR,—I beg to testify to the value of GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS, as I think that you cannot recommend them too well. About a fortnight since I left my work—I com- menced my illness by feeling starved, and a nasty stinging and shooting pain in my head a doctor was called in, and lie said it was Influenza, and I suffered for over a week of the pains in INFLUENZA my head, and the doctor's medicine did me no good, till at last the mistress of ANO this house (I am in lodgings here) fell ill with the same symptoms of illness GENERAL till her husband advised us to try a bottle of your Bitters. He got a Is. l £ d. WEAKNESS, bottle, and I may tell you the first dose gave us relief. After this we got a 2s. 9d. bottle, and now we are all right and I am at my work now, and I have no doubt that if I had taken the Bitters at first I should have lost no work, and 1 owe my recovery to the beneficial virtues of your medicine, and I beg to tender to you my sincere thanks for producing such a valuable medicine to suffering humanity.

Taking the population of the Urban Dititrict to be 42,349, this mortality givea a death rate of 5"43 per 1000 for this quarter and a death rate for the year of 21*72 per 1000. During the year 1894 there were 764 deaths and 1,483 births being equal to a death rate of 18*04 per 1000, and a birth rate of 35.01 per 1000 being a decrease of deaths in the year 1894 as compared with 1893 of 67 and a decrease in births of 97. Fourteeen deaths by arious causes requiring inquests occurred in this quarter. During the three months which have expired thero were 313 births—198 males and lo5 females being an increase of 33 as compared with the I previous three months, and an increase of births over deaths in this quarter of 153. This gives a birth rate of 9.04 per 1000 for the quarter and for the year 36.16 per 1000.—The report was adopted.— The Medical Officer in his fortnightly statement reported that a case of typhoid fever had occurred at 5, Abernanfc- road, and tnat a man aged 27 had died from the fever. In the Aberaman district 19 cases of measles had been notified, and in Capcoch 5. This was an increase of 19 as compared with the last report. Three deaths, tro, resulted in Cardiff-road, being an increase of one on the previous fortnight.—The report was adopted.— The Inspector of Nuisances (Mr. Evans) reported that he had visited 5, Abernant-road, where a man died from typhoid fever, but could find nothing to account for the disease. He also reported that the house No. 11, Frederick-street, was over-crowded and unfit for habitation. It was a small house and owing to damp- ness the man, wife, and four children had to live together in one room. The excuse priven was that they could not get another house.—The Inspector was ordered to serve the necessary notice.

SURVEYOR'S REPORT. report of the Surveyor (Mr. Owen Williams) was read as follows :— Lamp Pillar.—I be;; to report that on the 12th instant the lamp pillar near Gadlys Bridge vras broken by a brake belong- ing to Mr. Ilowell Williams, 8, Mill-street. The cost of making good the damage amounted 9d. Scrap Iron.—The (|iiantity otscrap iron disposed of from Green-strcct Yard was 12 tons 11 cwt., which at the amount of tender, viz., 35s. 6d. per ton, amounts to i22 5s. 6d. Building Plant.—! .h.n-e received the following buildin* plans, and, being in accordance with the bye-laws, i-econ* inend that the same be approved: From Air. Weeks, Plasterers' Arms, Aberdare, a dwelling house in Holford- street, Aberaman. From Mr. J. Evans, grocer, Elizabeth- street., rebuilding of shop and dwelling house on corner of Elizabeth and Griffith-streets. I have received plans from the Rev. J. O'Reilly of coalhouse proposed to be erected in Elizabeth-street adjoining Catholic Schools. The whole of the building as shewn on plan would be outside the line of building next adjoining. I have also received from 31 r. Richard Morgan, 45, Brecon-road, Hirwain, plan of proposed building intended to be used as a butcher's shop, in front of Xo. 43, Brecon-road. The whole of this building as well it erected would be outside line of building next adjoining. -It was decided to apply to Mr. Williams for the damage done to the lamp.—The report was adopted.

SWIXE FEVER. letter was read from the Clerk of the County Council asking the Council to instruct their inspector to examine the pig-sties in the dis- trict, as the expense and loss to the county by the prevalence of swine fever was considerable.—The Chairman said that now the pig season was over the inspector should see that the sties were erected at the proper distance from the houses, viz., 60 feet.The Inspector said he would, and lie had always been care- ful to see that the pigs were kept clean.

MAINTENANCE OF CARDIFF-ROAD. — Mr. V. P. Davies said that their contract with the Countv Council for the maintenance of roads would expire in March, and he thought the County Council would then take the roads into their own management. There was an exception to he mado in reference to streets, and he thought the exception should be Car- diff-road, providing satisfactory terms could be arranged. He moved that the surveyor make an estimate of the cost of maintaining Cardiff-road as far as the Aberaman Bridge. The motion was carried.

THE ArroiNTMENT OF OVERSEERS. —Mr. Griffith George brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, viz., that they should apply to the Local Government Board for powers to appoint overseers, assistant overseers, etc., as given tnem by Sec. 33, sub sec. 1, of the Local Government Act of 1894. Ho saw no reason why they should not be unanimous in tho matter, as it would only be taking advantage of the privileges given them. It would be no loss to the vestry, and no loss to the magistrates.—Mr. Thomas Thomas seconded, and the motion was carried unani- mously.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. — Mr. 1). P. Davies gave notice that he would bring on a motion for the improvement of Blaennantygroes-road, under the Puolic Roads Improvement Act at the next meeting. —Mr. J. Howells asked whether the road leading from Aberaman to Cwmbach was a public highway.— The CUairuwu We have repaired it once or twice,- -o-a. Mr. Howells Then I beg to give rotice that the surveyor report on the condition of the road, and also whether ifc is possible to make it into a road for vehicles as well as pedestrians.—The Chairman It is absurd. We can uavev do that.—Mr. T. Thomas There ie a movement on foot in Aberaman to make a road connection between Cwmbach and Aberaman.- The Chairman: Nonsense. Do you know what it would cost ?—Mr. Thomas No, I don't. I am only saying what I have heard.—The Chairman We will have to get an Act of Parliament.—Mr. W. Thomas said that he would have something to say about a road to Robertstown. The Chairman said that when the weather got a little better he vvasroing to propose that the Roads Committee, should traverse all the footpaths,and see what steps can be taken to improve them. It was their duty to see that footpaths were made for children to go to school (applause).—Mr. D. P. Davies called attention to the dangerous state of the railway crossing on the Abernant-road.—The. Clerk was instructed to write to the Abernant Colliery Company in reference to it.—Mr. T. Humphreys asked that a lamp should be placed near the Pwllfa- road. It was a very (Jark spot and most dangerous. The railway also crossed at that spot.—Mr. J. Howells quite agreed.—The Chairman said they had had a lot of applications for new lamps.—Tho matter was referred to the lighting committee.—Mr. Owen Harries said they all knew that another lamp would be very acceptable at Hirwain.—The Chairman reminded the Council that they were there to look after the whole district, and they must act so as to do justice to all parts.

COLONEL HOWARD VIXCEXT AT ABERDARE. Under the auspices of the Aberdare Unionist and Conservative Association, Colonel Howard Vincent, M.P. for Central Sheffield, addressed a public meeting at the Temperance Hall, Aberdare, on Friday night. Although the weather was cold, and snow fell heavily all the evening, there was a fairly large audience pre- ^Bht. Mr..James Lewis, Plasdraw, occupied the chair, and he was supported by Colonel Howard Vincent, M.P., Mr. Herbert Lewis, Unionist candi- date for the Boroughs, Col. D. R. Lewis, Merthvt: Mr. W. T. Rees, Maesyffynon Dr. Davies, J. P., Mr. J. Pinner, Mr. Thomas Lloyd. Mr. Caradog Davies, Mr. W. W. Joseph, Mr. Howard Joseph" Mr. S. E. Cox, Mountain Ash Mr.jH. M. Bradford, Dowlais; Mr. E. T. Richards, Merthyr; Mr. T. RaiUou, Mr. W. S. Davies, Mountain Ash Mr Edward Morgan, C.E. Mr. R. J. Rhys, Mr. 1'. Jones, Mr. H. T. Rees, Mr. W. J. Merriman, Con- servative agent, Aberdare, and Mr. Valentine Watson, Conservative agent, Merthyr. The Chairman, in his addix. said that before they proceeded to the object of the mating that evening he thought he would be probably sharing their feel- ings and slso the feelings of every person in the country, if he alluded to the loss the country had sustained in the death of that eminent mnn, Lord Randolph Churchill. He was sure that whatever side or opinion in politics they might hold, they all felt a great admiration for the talent and ability he dis- played. He believed that his early death had been due in a great measure to the great tax upon his physical strength in his devotion to the condition of the country, and his devotion to Parliamentary duties He thought they could not but feel closely connected with him when they considered how near a relation he was to those whooccupied so prominent a position in this borough. He was a brother of Lady Wirn- borne, Dowlais. If there was no other reason he was sure they would sympathise with the family that stood prominently, and whose enterprise in the liorough and district had been productive of so much prosperity and good. He did not think it was necessary for him to dwell upon all the eminent services of the late Lord Randolph Churchill to the country. They would all agree that he had been conspicuous in his ability, and was a man who was likely, had he been spared, to take a very leading part in the government of their country. He proposed That this public meeting of the inhabitants of Aberdare desires to record its sense of the deep loss Austained by the country at largo by the death of Lord Randolph Churchill and it desires also to tender its heartfelt sympathy to Lady Randolph and family in the hour of their sad affliction. He would also add the name of Lady Wimborue. He asked them to pass the resolution in silence, and to show their respect by standing uncovered.—The resolution was carried in the manner directed.— Continuing the Chairman made a few remarks as to the state of the trade, and then introduced the speaker. Colonel Howard Vincent, who was received with continued applause, said he was glad to see 80 1".rg-e an audience at Aberdare in spite cf the bad weather He referred at some length to the death of Lord Randolph Churchill, who was his old friend and next door neighbour in London. Speaking of his vi-it to Cardiff on the previous night, he said that he felt certain that all Conservative and Unionist electors in tho Merthyr Lorough would have rejoiced had they seen tho way in which these thousands of work- ing men of Cardiff received their friend, their candi- date and their future member, Mr. Herbert Lewis (applause). Whatever difference they had in politics he was glad to see there were differences in that hall that night ho was quite certain he was speaking for every single individual in the hall and town, when he said that every man and woman must admire the pluck and energy of Mr. Herbert Lewis -(hear, hear)-in coming forward to contest a con- stituency such as that. He felt certain that every elector and non-elector in the Merthyr Borough would give Mr. Lewis a fair hearing, He was not privileged to cad himself a Welshman, but yet he had some claim on Wales. He was brought up in Wales and started life as a boy in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers' a regiment which every Welshman was proud of (loud applause). It was in Wales that he became acquainted with public questions of the day. He had another claim to the sympathies of Aberd.-ve It was a matter connected with his private life Not far from Aberdare lived his old friend, that respected statesman and^ akh nobleman, Lord Aberdare, and it was at the house of Lord Aberdare in London, that he had proposed to and was accepted by his wife (hear, hear). He was not going to tell them what lie. »aid—(laughter)— but he could assure th«m th-t it was a much more difficult task than oca kino- to h, from the platform (laughter) He did not intend to deal largely wuh pontics that nitrhl. ho wish^l speak on tho state of the trade. All trades in England were very low at the present time and in spite of this fact, the present Government had not attempted to remedy ft. That was a very serious matter. The tin-plate trade was very much depressed and yet when the Liberal Government wa* asked to accept new openings for trade, they actually refused That wa-3 not a proper way of governing a country for its welfare, ihey did more than tefu-e Th"v went aud gave contracts to foreign firms, a.ml left the poor English workman to look to himself He said that the question of reviving the trade was of far more importance than' discusv-V" questions of down with the House of I ORC^ E'{(? Each day saw some industry leave them and taken over to foreign countries. Look at the tin-plate trade for instance I he men in England and Wales had to accept a reduction of over 12i per CUlt., and then they were not sure of constant emplovment What was the reasonV Why, the Americans had .m* such a heavy tax upon tin-plates. And v. hv harl the Americans done this? The answer was not far to seek. They wanted to get that. trade themselves, and so get all the profit. In 1891 over seven million pounds worth of tin-plates, that is over 448,000 tons were exported. Nearly all of tho plates came from South Wales. In 1893 about £4,900,000 worth of tin-plates were exported, or 379,000 tons. That wis a big drop-nearly £3,000,000. In 1894 the value of tin-plates exported fell from £ 7,000,000 ^terlir 1891 to £ 4,350,000, and the ouanti y from ton. to 354.000 ton,. Tlnw ,W ? 5 fol money. The Americans were getting that, They were erecting works over there, and year by year ho number of plates sent over from Wales would decrease! The electors should think these tilings out for them- selves and araw their own conclusions. If they did tliiM he would not care if the election came to-morrov as he felt sure they would return to power a Unioni-t Government (applause). Mr. Herbert Lewis proposed a vote of thanks to Colonel Howard Vincent for his excellent address The aim of the National Union of which CoViei Howard Vincent was president, was to educate the people on vital points. They had heard from the speaker an impartial view of the state of trade, and t e National tmon wished by means of lectures and literature to give an opportunity to tho workh £ classes cf Wales as well as other parts, of making m their own minds on the political questions of the d v (applause).-Mr. I homas Lloyd seconded the resold tion in the vernacular. —Col. Lewis, of Merthvr bi supporting said he wished the voteis of Aberdare to weigh everything said to them. They should lis'en with both ears open, but should not be led awav Referring to the recent local elections he said that in no instance in any ward in the whole of the borough did the working men who had the power in their own hands do what they were told to do. They followed their own good common sense. They returned repre- sentatives of the owners of works..—The resolution was then carried with acclamation.—Col. Howard Vincent returned thanks, and proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman.—Mr. Pinner seconded and the motion was passed unanimously.

FIRE AT PONTLOTTYN. Between the hours of twelve and on Friday morn ing an outbreak of fire occurred at the London Hou- a draper's shop, occupied by Mr. S. L. Price Merchant-street, I'ontlottyn.
