DOLGELLEY. BETHEL.—The members of Bethel C.M. Church have 'ecently purchased from Arnfield's Music Warehouse an Alexandre church harmonium. The instrument was specially selected by Mr Pyemoct at the London Warehouse. It con- sists of two rows of keys, with manual and octave couplers, ¡wenty stops, and eleven half sets of vibrators, with foot or land blower. It has proved to be a fine instrument, and has jiven general satisfaction to the congregation. ALARM.—During the night of Monday the inhabitants were alarmed by the discordant ringing of the Church balls. A. large number of people ran into the streets when it was ascertained that a young man, son of Mr Richardson, dentist, was missing. Search parties went out in all directions and tle was eventually found making his way back from Eilla whither he had walked. Mr Richardson desires to thank he people for their ready aid and sympathy. THE COUNTY SCHOOL.—At a recent examination of Bangor [ndependent College for eight scholarships, eighteen candi- lates presented themselves. The second place on the list was obtained by Iloljert Jones, of Corris, and the fourth was obtained by Peter Lewis, of Dolgelley. Jones was prepared for the examination at the County School, and Lewis was formerly a private pupil of the Headmaster. The scholar- ships are tenable for three years, and cover board and tuition. A. list of scholarships to he awarded in connection with the County School for the September teira appears in an adver- tisement. ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon an accident happened to a "goods train on its way from Dolgelley to Barmouth. A truck laden with lime at the rear of the train got off the metals and ploughed up about 300 yards of the permanent way. The site of the accident was a little on the Barmouth side of Penmaenpool on an embankment leading up to a bridge spanning a stream coming down from the direction of Abergwynant. The wheels on one side ran along within the fourfoot damaging the sleepers while the other did great iamage to the line of metals which bad to be renewed for nearly the entire distance. Seeing that the accident happened on a fairly high embankment and where there is a curve it is surprising bow the truck remained for the whole distance on the permanent way. A strong gang of men were put on the work and, notwithstanding a heavy downpour of rain throughout the night, had repaired the damage by the morning so that the seven train out of Dolgelley was able to run through. There was necessarily delay in the passenger tratlic, but Stauionmasters Jones and Roberts at Dolgelley improvised arrangements which were as satis- factory as possible in the circumstances.

THE CEMETERY QUESTION.
THE CEMETERY QUESTION. On Monday evening a public meeting was called by the Urban District Council to consider the matter of burial ac- commodation in the district and if in the opinion ef the Meeting the same be deemed insufficient or unsatisfactory, and, further, to consider the desirability of the Council acquiring land in or near the district for providing a cemetery.

The Rev EVAN DAVIES apologized for not speaking on the subject as requested by the Chairman, because he was about leaving the town. He, however felt the necessity of a public burial ground. Mr DAVID OWEN asked why the public was not consulted in the matter before ? It was a private matter at the start, and it was thought then that the concern would turn out a very profitable one. Now, however, after when it did not pay the promoters wanted to put the burden on the shoulders of the ratepayers. Mr J. CII.RLES HUGHES asked whether they meant to provide the accommodation for thetjwn or for the parish of Dolgelley ? Mr W. R. DAVIES replied that it was proposed to provide accommodation for the district. Mr J. C. HUCHKS added that he could not see why the rate- payers of the whole parish of Dolgelley had not then been convened ? Why ask the inhabitants of the small town of Dolgelley to go to the expense of providing a cemetery for the larger district ? E JONES replied that the town of Dolgelley was a parish it itself. Mr DAVID OWEN considered that the town of Dolgelley was too small and poor to be saddled with the expense. In his opinion the new Council must very soon construct new sewers for the proposed villas on the west side of the river. Those drains would cost at the least £ 1,200 If the Council spent another £ 1,200 on the proposed cemetery the ratepayers of Dolgelley would be worse off than Barmouth. Mr JOHN JOLLEY wished to know if the Council ^had any estimate of the cost of a new cemetery, and ithe CHAIRMAN replied that he was not prepared to answer that question. Mr ELLIS GRIFFITH, Waterloo, asked the reason why the Council convened the meeting ? Had they proof to show that the burial accommodation was insufficient ? He was sup- Ported also by Mr DAVID ROBERTS. Dr THOMAS asked if any complaints had been made as to the insufficiency of accommodation ? Mr J. CHARLES HUGHES said the Council was elected to carry out their duties, and considered if they felt unfit to face any duty that arose they ought to resign so as to enable the ratepayers to elect others to do the work. It was unreason- able to run to the ratepayers on every small matter. Mr O. VAUGHAN JONES, however, felt thankful to the Council for their courtesy in consulting the ratepayers before incurring any large expenditure. The matter before the meeting was whether the present burial accommodation "Was sufficient. Mr ROWLAND JONES asked why had that question cropped Up now when the population was decreasing? DrE. JONES replied that to some extent he was of the same opinion as Mr Hughes. It was the duty of the Council to carry out public matters without consulting the ratepayers. •But there was another side to the leaf. Many in the town felt grateful to the Council for bringing the matter before the ratepayers. He should like to say that he had no desire Whatever to press the cemetery upon the ratepayers against their wish. It was true that there was a responsibility, but ■he was very glad to be able to bear his share, and, if neces- sary, to continue to do so. He advised the meeting to con- ■■ sider the matter carefully before throwing it over. Several important things had been started in the town, and the rate- payers refused them through the Local Board. Some of those concerns paid well. One of them was the waterworks by „ which the ratepayers lost scores, if not hundreds, of wWk. ?.r' hear).

The Rev EVAN DAVIES suggested that a cemetery should be provided for the whole town with a portion consecrated for the use of C'hurchpeople and those in favour of consecration Mr JOHN CHARLES HUGHES proposed that the matter be again referred to the Council, who, if they considered additional accommodation necessary, would meet the rate- Payers with some scheme. Mr EDWARD GRIFFITH having proposed that in the opinion of that meeting there was need for a cemetery, Mr DAVID OWEN thought the guarantors of the new cemetery should neither move nor second a proposition of that sort. Mr EDWARD GRIFFITH replied that though there were cer- tain persons named as guarantors, they were guarantors on behalf of th# whole body of Nonconformists of the town. The Rev EVAN ROBERTS seconded Mr Griffith's proposition, and Mr JOLLEY proposed, and Mr HAMET seconded,.a direct negative. On a division being taken, fifty-two voted in favour of the proposition, and no one declaring in favour of the negative, the proposition was put to the meeting as a substantive motion and agreed to, and the Council was asked to make the necessary provision.
MERIONETH JOINT POLICE COMMITTEE.
MERIONETH JOINT POLICE COMMITTEE A meeting of the Joint Police Committee for Merioneth was 'held at Dolgelley on Tuesday, there being present Dr Edward Jones, chairman Messrs O. S. Wynne, C. E. J. Owen, K. S. 'Wayne, E. H. Jonathan, Festiniog E. Jarrett, Corwen J. B. Bennett, Talsarnau R. E. Roberts, Llanuwchllyn W. Hughes, 'Dolgelley Joseph Holl, acting clerk Major Best, chief constable; and Mr Morris Jones, surveyor. The Chief Constable reported the number of indictable crimes committed duri«g the past quarter was 3, and 2 apprehended the number of offences determined summarily was 1C2, as against 124 list year, of whom 127 were convicted, as against 105 last year. The number of vagrants relieved at the casual wards was 1,899, as compared with 1,963 last year, or an decrease of 64. The Chief Constable added verbally that the increase in the number of summary offences was due to no serious matter, but to increased activity on the part of the Education Authorities. He attributed the decrease in vagrancy to the more uniform treat- ment of vagrancy throughout the county. Notice was given of a proposition to increase the police force, but. Mr JONATHAN" said it was thought rearrangement might be accommodation for the district. Mr J. C. HUCHKS added that he could not see why the rate- payers of the whole parish of Dolgelley had not then been convened ?

MERIONETH JOINT POLICE COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Joint Police Committee for Merioneth was 'held at Dolgelley on Tuesday, there being present Dr Edward Jones, chairman Messrs O. S. Wynne, C. E. J. Owen, K. S. 'Wayne, E. H. Jonathan, Festiniog E. Jarrett, Corwen J. B. Bennett, Talsarnau R. E. Roberts, Llanuwchllyn W. Hughes, 'Dolgelley Joseph Holl, acting clerk Major Best, chief constable; and Mr Morris Jones, surveyor. The Chief Constable reported the number of indictable crimes committed duri«g the past quarter was 3, and 2 apprehended the number of offences determined summarily was 1C2, as against 124 list year, of whom 127 were convicted, as against 105 last year. The number of vagrants relieved at the casual wards was 1,899, as compared with 1,963 last year, or an decrease of 64. The Chief Constable added verbally that the increase in the number of summary offences was due to no serious matter, but to increased activity on the part of the Education Authorities. He attributed the decrease in vagrancy to the more uniform treat- ment of vagrancy throughout the county. Notice was given of a proposition to increase the police force, but. Mr JONATHAN" said it was thought rearrangement might be niade of the officers stationed at Festiniog by allowing the inspector to live at Blaenau instead of at Llan. The CHIEF CONHTABLK said he was in favour of stationing tha inspector at Blaenau, but there was no station house at Blaenau. Air JONATHAN stated that things were now quieter at Festiniog T''certain young men had been dealt with. He, however, thought a good look out should be kept on the club at Festiniog Sundays. The CHAIRMAN supposed that the people clubbed money to buy drink. He feared there was no power to prevent it. Mr JONATHAN admitted there was no power, but said the police could prevent people being annoyed on the public streets. Had the police a right to enter the club ? The CHIRP COSSTABLK replied that the police had no right to enter, and if the police entered they would render themselves liable to action. They could only enter the club when the same conditions prevailed as would authorise the police to eutaa private house. The Committee then proceeded to consider an adjourned appli- cation by the Chief Constable for permission to move the constable now stationed at LUvyngwril to Llanegryn, and the Clerk read a strong letter from the Llangelynin Parish Council in favour of keeping the officer at Llwyngwril (where there is a railway station and a telegraph office), and an equally strong letter from the Parish Council of Llanegryn in favour of removal if it could be done without increasing the force or the rates. Mr JONATHAN said as it could not be done without increasing the rates and the force he proposed that the officer remain at Llwvngwril, and Mr WAYXH seconded the proposition. Mr O. S. WYNNE proposed removal, remarking that Llanegryn was more important than Llwyngwril. The ClIaw CONSTABLE, on being appealed to by Mr C. E. J. Owen,said that whereas Llwyngtvril was oil the edge of the sea, Llanesrryn was the <itre of a large district. There were also complaints of rowel., i^iu »t Llanegryn, and of young men taking gates off their hinges and placing them on the highways and of damaging county bridges. The CHAIRMAN pointed out if the officer was removed there would be a large piece of the county-from Dolgelley and Bar- mouth to Towyn, without a resident otficer. The consequence would be that two or three licenced houses would be without supervision. The CfiiEi, CONSTABLE thought they could he supervised from Barmouth but the CHAIRMAN pointed out that the bridge was closed after a certain time at night. It was finally agreed not to remove the Llwyngwril officer. Attention having been called to the inconvenience of Bar- mouth Police Court after the recent alteration, Mr Jons CHARLES HtTQHE-i, the clerk to the magistrates of that division, attended, and explained what alterations were desirable, and it was resolved to refer the matter again to the Committee consisting of the Chairman, Mr O. S. Wynne and Mr Prys Owen, Aelybryn.

The Clerk of the Peace having read a letter from W. R. M. Wynne, Esq., Peniarth, chairman of the Court, regretting inability to attend, the presiding Chairman addressed the Grand Jury saying that by the Chief Constable's report it would be seen that the number of offences for the quarter was about the same as for the corresponding quarter of last year. CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT. Richard Evans, quarryman, living at Festiniog, a man about 25 years, was indicted for having indecently assaulted Jane Jones, widow. Ma nod-road, Festiuiog. Mr W. R. Davies, Dolgelley, appeared for the prosecutrix. and Mr Griffith Jones, instructed by Mr R. O. Jones, for the accused. Jane Jones, the prosecutrix-, said she was 65 years of age and occupied a house with a little girl of seven. During the night of the 27th May she beard a knocking at the door, got up in her nightdress, and opened the bedroom window. On asking who was there, the reply was Robert, come down." Her son-in-law's name was Robert Davies, and her daughter was sometimes taken suddenly ill at night. Without put- ting anything on she went down stairs, opened the doo: and asked How is my daughter!" but received no reply. She then lighted a candle, and saw Richard Evans whom she knew and who had been once before in her house. She asked him why he came there in the uathe of her son-in-law when he offered her two two shilling pieces. On her refusing to accept them, he took hold of her, threw her on to the floor, and acted indecently towards her. She resisted and spoke lond, and the neighbours came when he left the house. Elizabeth Jones, John Evans, Jane Jones, and Anne and Thomas Trevor came, and the men (Richard Jones, Trevor, and John Evans) went after the accused. Richard Joiie4 started in pursuit before going into the house. Some of those who came lived next door others over the way. She made a statement to the women Jones and Trevor. -Cross-examined John Evans was the first who came, but she did not make a statement to him nor to Elizabeth Jones nor to Thomas Trevor. Could not be certain whether Trevor asked her who the man was. Told him to go after the man. She did not tell him that she did not know who the man was, and that he was to go after him and try to find out. She told him to go and identify him. She did not say she did not know him. When Trevor asked her who the man was she told- him to go after him. She did not tell any of them who he was. The man blew the candle out as soon as she identified him-not immediately. On being asked if she had not made and signed a statement before the magistrates that the candle was blown out directly, shelfirst said not directly," and then that she could not remember everything she had said before the magistrates. Except the time when the candle was lighted it was quite dark. The floor was of strine and she was twice thrown down. Inspector Morgan asked her to allow a doctor to examine her, but she refused as she did not think there were any marks on her. Her arm was stiff, but she thought it would get all right.^ The doctor was present at. the time in the Magistrate's Clerk's Office when the Inspector suggested examination. The little girl who was sleeping with her (prosecutrix) was awakened. She shouted out Who is beating my mother," but did not come down. She was not present as a witness.— Cross-examined She told John Evans that someone had I been troubling her, and told him and Elizabeth Evans to go I after them. She did not say it was Richard Evans, but told them to go after him so as to know him. When before the magistrates she gave her evidenence in Welsh and the state- ment was in English. He told her that the money was two two shilling pieces. She did not see them. Elizabeth Jones, who lives opposite prosecutrix, said she was awakened by talking in Jane Jones's house about twenty minutes after one. Went out and saw a man going out of Jane Jones's house. He wore light trowsers, dark coat, and hard hat. Jane Jones told her to go after him and she went. Described his clothing to Inspector Morgan.—Cross-examined: Jane Jones did not say who he was. Went as far as Pugh's shop, but could not identify him. He was not far from Wynne's Arms, where there is a road going to Maentwrog. There she lost him. There were plenty of hard hats, dark coats, and white trowsers in Festiniog. Could not say whether it was Cyntaf mis at Festiniog that day. She did not go before the magistrates at the first hearing. John Evans, 177, Mancd-road, labourer, next door to prose- cutrix, said he also was awakened, and ou going into prosecutrix's house, saw the chairs upset and she agitated. She told him to go after him. He went, and saw a man wearing light trousers. Went into the house, put on more clothes, went into the direction of Blaenau, and saw Richard Evans between the old and new Bethesda Chapels. Asked him if he was making a noise down there, and he did not reply. Trevor and Jones were also there. Evans (the accused) wore a hard hat and working trousers.—Cross-examined Knew Richard Evans, but could not recognise him on first going out. Found Evans a quarter of a mile off sitting down in a crooked way. Evans did not threaten to thrash him for putting the question about disturbance, but he did threaten Jones for putting that question. When before the magistrates he said he was not near enough to the man when at Wynne's Arms to be sure how he was dressed. There must be some mistake. Jane Jones, wife of Richard Jones and neice of prosecutrix, and Ann Trevor, another neighbour, said the accused waft named by Jane Jones.—In cross-examination, Mrs Trevor said it was some time after. Thomas Trevor said he found the prosecutrix agitated and on asking her who it was she said she did not know. Afterwards siw Evans near Bethesda. He was bent down and appeared to be sleeping. He denied having been in Jane Jones's house. He (witness} asked him if he would come back and he said he would. Edward Jones, Belle Vue, said he saw the accused between half-past ten and eleven near the Pengwern Arms, Llan Festiniog. —On being asked in cross-examination if there were not hundreds of people in Festiniog who wore clothes similar to those described, he replied that he did not know about that.. He knew that the accused had clothes of that kind that night. On being pressed, witness admitted that there were hundreds of men in Festiniog who wore lig-ht trousers, dark coats and hard bowler hats. He had a hard hat and clean light working trousers when his mother washed them. (Laughter). Jane Jones's house was about half an hour's walk from Llan, and one would have to pass Jane Jones's house in going to Bethesda. Mr Griffith Jones, for the defence, put the accused into the box. On doing so, the accused said he had never been before the magistrates on any charge. lie and John Jones were at Llan and had drink for which Jones paid. He (accused) had no money. Was with John Jones in his house at five to twelve, and left with him and passed Jane Jones's in his company. Next slept on the roadway until he' waq awakened by Richard Jones and ethers. Did not. go into Jane Jones's house that night, nor did he commit any assault on her. Did not offer her money because he had none that night.
