DENBIGH, FLINT, AND MERIONETH AIZS. The assizes for the counties of Denbigh, Flint, Merioneth, and Montgomery, were held on Saturday, at Rur.:h/.n, before Mr Justice Day, who was abtended by Sir G. E. A. Ca-yiey, the High-sheriff of Denbighshire; Mr Gold Edwards (Denbigh), Under-sheriff; Mr Edyar Swayne, Aching Under-sheriff; and Mr H. Crompt-on, CCerk of Assize. His Lodship had arrived in the town on the previous evening, being received with the customary ceremony. The commission was opened at half-past ten on Saturday morn- ing, and the grand jury were impanelled, the fore-ruan being General the Hon. Savage Mostvn. I. THE CHARGE. In the charge to the grand jury tne judge- congratulated the four counties upon the very small amount .of serious crilme which appeared to have occurred since the last as- sizes, the calendar only containing the names of six prisoners, from three counties — four from Denbighshire, one from Flint, and one frum Merlaneithsh. re. Having referred brief- ly to several of the oa,seL-1, his lordship dis- missed the grand jury to their duties. EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES.- Ellen Nut-tall, otherwise Pemberton, of Wrexham, Was charged with lhaving felon- iously married Alfred Edward Pern ben on in 1890, her husband. William Nu'ttall, being stiii alive. The grand jury found a true bill a-'jainst the prisoner, 'who pleaded guilty.— Mr E. J. Griffith, M.P., who appeared for accused, asked th.e judge to treat 'her len- iently, she having been long separated from ;I her husband when she wenlt through the form of marII13.ge with Pemberton, and he did not think there was any obstacle in her w,ay.-The Judge said he was glad thE, prisoner had pleaded (ruiJtv as the convic- NV tion was certain to follow if she had not done so, and she had saved that. exposure of the scandal which would have been made if she had acted otherwise. W-hiCe he regarded cases of bigamy against men in many "cases as very serioras, in this case he felt the cir- cumstances were exceptional, and he wouul order the prisoner to be liberated on her own recognlsuaices to come up for judgment when called upon. THE BARMOUTH MANSLAUGHTER. CASE. Rialph Blades, 43, cabdriver, was indicted for the manslaughter of Ellis Jones, at Bar- mouth, on September 4bh.—Mr E. J. Grif- fith, M.P. (instructed by Mr Guthrie Jones, of Dol^elley), prosecuted, and Mr S. Moss, M.P. (instructed by Mr R. J. Griffith, Dol- gelley), defended. The prison en* and the deceased were cab drivers ait the Zion Hotel, Barmouth. On the of the date named they had a quarrel, and the prflsoner struck Jones, who fell on the ground, sustaining fractures of the skull, from he died a few days later. Wtheu the jury were sworn his Lordiship asked whelt,her they aE understood English, and they eplied in the affirmative. The evidence for the prosecution having been given, the prisoner elected to go into I the witness 'box in .his own behalf. He said he went to the slbalble to take out a horse, and Jones tried to prevent him. They had a momentary quarrel, and the prisoner thought Jones was going to- strike him, so he gave him a puJh which caused the fatal fall. For the defence Mr Moss urged t-hat the prisoner acted in self-defence, and the jury found the prisoner guilty, with a strong re- commendation to mercy. The Judge desired to know the ground of this verdict. The Foreman said there was no evidence of malice. His Lordsihip If there had been ib would be wilful murder. The Foreman It looked so much like an accident. His Lordship I do not quite appreciate what you say, because I do not see that it was an accident merely because the man was in drink. I will consider the sentence by ¡. and by. At a later isijaige his lordsihip sentenced Blades to 15 months' hard labour. DISCHARGED. Jolhn Jones, 30 years of age, gamekeeper, was arraigned for feloniously shooting at Robert Jones, in the parish oif B.ode!wyclda.n, near St. Asaph, on August 3bh.—Mr Trevor Lloyd prosecuted (instructed by Mr Oliver George, Rhyl), and Mr E. J. Griffith, M P., dCffended (instructed by Mr Joseph Lloyd, SIt,. Asaph). It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor tihaft there was a disagree- ment (be-weer. the prisoner and the prosecu- tor in the road near the ho'iuse occupied by the former. The prosecutor took off his coat, intending to defend himseM against the prisoner, when the Mter went inito the house for his gun, which he brought initio the road, and fired twice at the prosecutor, at disltiancee of from 50 to 70 yards. The pro- secutor sa-id ;he stood in ithe middle Off the road and heard the second shot enter the hedcre a few yards away. At the close of the case for the prosecu- tion Mr E. J. Griffith asked Ithe judge whether he thought tlhere was a case for the j jury, and his lordship said he feit there was '] no case of attempted grievous bodily harm. Promiscuous firing such as had been de- scribed by the witnesses could hardly be so described' He should hav-? thought there might have been a charge against the prison- might have been a charge against the prison- er under the Rood Act in the summary court. The jury agreed that the attempt to in- fiidj grievous bodily iharm had not been proved, and the prosecution did not offer any evidence on the count for a. common as- sault. The prisoner was theil dischartgsd. CASE STOPPED. Griffith James Williams, brewer's travel- ler, of Wr3x!ii<aaB, was indicted: for having embe-zzled'ariouH small sums from his em- ployers Messrs -Soames and Co., brerwers, of Wrexham.—.Mr Moss, M.P. (instructed by Mr Houle-- Pierce) prosecuted, and Mr R. V. Bankes (instructed by Mr Colbeck, Wrex- ham) def ended. -Evidence was given by Mr John. A. Robinsion, manager of tihe brewery, the caehiler, Mr Walter Barton, Mr Barton, a clerk in the employ of the firm, and a collier named Roiberfe and his wife. Mr Bankes indicated, by his cross-exam- ination, tlhalb the defence would be that the defendant 'had lost a Ime.morandum book con- taining t-he record of these small payments, and when he left the firm's service he was, therefore, unable to give the exact amount of his indebtedness, but he offered to pay everything at once if supplied with a list of the names and addresses. This the firm de- clined to give. Another witness was called to show that other cases of the kind had 'occurred, but at bills pfarb of the case the jury stated tha.t the- hacl heard enough of the case. H:s Lordship remarked that he was not at all surised.I.flter consulting with his client, Mr Moss said the would not offer any evi- dence on the other charges. The prisoner wa.s acquit/bed. SEiRIOUS CJEDAIRQE DISPROVED. John Gabriel, 81 collier, of Cefn Mawr, was I charged with an ansaulit upon Mrs Martha Mansell on the night, of September 27th, near the Wynnstay Colliery. According to the prosecution, the defendant knocked at the prosecutrix's door after midnight, told her her husband was seriously ill at the col- liery, and she went out Wltih him to go to her husband. In a lonely part, of the road on tihe wav to the colliery she was thrown down and a serious crime attempted. The defence was -an alibi, to support which five men were called. ,ly;s In summing up, pointed out how strange it was that this defence had never been mentioned: when the prisoner 'I was arreted or when be was before tie magistrates. The defendant was found not guilty, and discharged. BRUTAL CONDUCT. John Davies, labourer, pleaded guilty to I inflicting grievous bodily harm upon Joseph Drury, on June 13th, at Wrexham. The I prosecutor was at work on a ladder, and the 1 defendant came to him, said he was not a bricklayer, and tihrew ¡him to the ground, with the result that he received a terrible in- jury to the thigh, whx-h would probably leave him a cripple for life. Hius Lordsihip, in view of a recommenda- tion to mercy on bdhaif of the prosecutor, sentenced the prisoner to four months' hard labour only, but he commented very severely upon the brutality of his conduct.

I THE REPRESSION OF FIRE. It is always pleasant to welcome products in which utility is adorned by beauty, and it is seldom that these qualities are combined in so high a degree as in the Salamander Asbestos decorative panels, etc., manufact. ured amongst a variety of other things by the United Asbestos Co., Ltd., of 150 & 160, Char- ing Cross Road, London. These panels are manufactured after the most artistic designs and have a very pretty effect when used as facings for walls and ceilings, besides afford- ing probably the best safeguard against the spread of any fire arising in an apartment lined with them. Large as' the business of the Company is. it is surprising that the use of their or similar wares is not more general. Had the building in which the recent fire in Cripplegate originated been lined throughout with this material it is outside the range of probability that it would have extended to such an alarming extent and would most likely have been confined to the very room in which the fire arose. That this is no mere conjecture was sufficiently shown in the case j of the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, where a fierce fire arising in a kitchen was, accord- j of the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, where a fierce fire arising in a kitchen was, accord- ing to the report of Mr Farrall, M.R.I.A.I., checked by this material. With object lessons like this and others in the Company's experience before our architects and Insur- ance Companies, it is surely to be expected that they will insist upon a more general use of asbestos, at least in the construction of of great public buildings, hotels, factories, theatres and other structures wherein the hazard of life from fire is of even greater im- portance than the danger to property. I

DEATH OF REV. D. S. DAVIES. PREACHER, JOURNALIST, AUTHOR. "Very soon after the death of Mr Thomas Gee, we have bo record the demise of an- other well-known leader of the Welsh de- mocracy. The Rev D. S. Davies, Congregational minister and editor of the "Celt,' who was wé]Jknf)\,vn ,th.roughout Wades, as well as in thie United States, died very suddenly on Saturday ait. his residence, Waterloo-terrace, Oaimartbhen. He had ,h<adi a long illness, from which he apparentily recovered some six months ago-, whlen ho had hopes of a long spell of robustness to endble- him to complete the sectond edition of a Work on "Baptism," which he 'had calculated' would occupy muck of his time during the next two or three years. He Ifeit so- well on Friday night as to enilbolden .him to make fresh engagements, but no .sooner had he arranged wioh a friend for the fultilimenit of the same than he was seized by one of his old attacks in the re- giÜIl of the heart, and died suddenly in the presence of Ihis wife, his daughter, and some hastily summoned neighbours, before me- dical aid could be procured. The deceased minister was born in 1841 at Plasimarl, near Swansea. His father was the Rev J. Jeremiah Davies, minister of the Congregational Church of Mynyddbach. Youncr Davies received all the educational advantages afforded by tfhe neighbourhood) of his birth. After attending several minor schools, he became a pupil of the ctHebrated Dr Evan Davies, of the Normal College, Swansea, whiere he rapidly distinguished himself as a student. When he was 13 ytara old, his father died suddenly, an event which brought his school days abruptly to & close, and completely changed his prospects in life. At the suggestion of his mother, he at once betook himself to the. AiberdSare district in search of some manual amployment, and for three years worked as sltoker and engine driver. In consequence of the fa- mous strike of 1857, he emrated to ÂJm- erica, where he àalboured for eoime time as a blacksmith. It was at Holidaysburg, Pa., that he commenced preadhing, while still fol- lowing his daily occupation as weigher. Thence he removed to Pittsburg just at the time when the Rev Cadwa>lad!r D. Jones re- tired from rbhe ministry at that place. After preadhing for some montxhs at Piatsburg and the surrounding towns, -he wieait to the Wy- oming Seminary for a classical training under Dr Nelson, and f hence to the Western Theo- logicnll Seminary, AH'tghlany, near Pittsburg. Whilst there, he received an invita-bion, in 1862—in whidh year he was married to Miss BllizaJbefch iSbephens, oif Wisconsin—1>^ bo- oom.e the ip&sbor of the Congegational Churches at Emmet and Ixonia, where he was ordained in the eaime year. At the end of 1864, 'he removed to Ironton, Ohio, and afterwards to Centerville. Then to Youngs- town; and, in 1872, to New York, and thenice to Patagonia, in 1873. During this memoraibCe yioyage, "D. S. D." and his 42 fe'lilaw-tra-vellers suffered the hardships of ft shipwreck, and, as a matter of fact, his friends in America, infoajmed that he had I been drowned, caused his biography to be published, and a funeral sermon. was aotu- ally ureaohed. I-kfber months of laborious travelling and adventurous experiences, the shipwrecked parity reached' Patagonia. He remained there same four moDiffis, during which iperiiod he acquired tal knowledge of Portuguese. He returned in 1875 to Wales, where, by the origiiiiadity of his character and method of (preatckng, he soon attracted great; atbenttioii, and received' two ''calls," one from Carmel, Cend'l, and bhe other from Ebenezer, Biangor, the laltitler of which he ac- cepted, ithus becoming the successor of the famous divinep Vychan. Having settled dawn in Bangor, he was not long before he stirred up thechurohee of the town to realise their resiponsilbilliltly as regards various queis- tJons of social importance, particularly those relating to the drink traffic. We believe there was a "split," and that the Pendref Chapel was erected by the secedeiis. In 1886, he removed to Carmarthen, to beocml. fihe suocela&or of the late lamented Professor ■Morgan, as pastor of the church at Union- street, where he continued to labour 'W,:th his customary energy and outspokenness up to the time of his death. He was a Republican in politics, ithe result no doubt of 'his 17 yeaita' sojourn in the United States. He was a staunch advocate of Disestablishment, and a scafliwarb chaimpon of the rightis of the j agricultural and the labouring classes. He wrote a great deal, from ibime to time, on political! and literary subjects, being regard- ed throughout tihe who'le of the Principality as a zealous purist .in Welsh orthography and diction. He acted as the editor of the i "Celt" alknost from its first appearance. His standard book 'in the vernacular on "Bap- fclsm" shows considerable schioiarshiip and miarvellous genius for painstaking. I" He has been a. power in this denomination, and the Welsh Independents 'lose a cham- pion whom it will not be easy to replace. He was unfliiichintg in hils denunciations when his conscience led him to hold Sa^t to a par- ticular belief. Eis,peclally was he strong on the toital abstinence question. This 'he car- red to the greatest length. He was firmly convinced that no-one ought too be a< church member who allied himseif with strong drink, hence his refusal to admit '.anyone to tihe privileges of the church ,who belonged to "the Trade." No-one was more straight- forward than he, and probably this trait rather reduced than enhi-need ihs local po- pularltv but he was a favourite with those who realiy knew 'him as he was. He was thorough in all he undertook. His book on "Sonography" proves this, although it, can- not be said fobat his efforts to adiapt the Welsh language to this shorthand system have been generally aippreolated. In Itlhis connection, it may also be noted that he had devised a special Welsh key-board to a type- writer, making the instrument applicable for easy manipulation in bhe vernacular, fox whloh the acoentb and the dd's and 11'3 were not overlooked.

I THE ANNUAL EXAMINATION.—T!h'e report of Mr O. Owen, the examiner of the Welsh Central Board, on his annual exam- ination of the school, was submitted. It was a voluminous documenlt, and on the whole very favourable on the different class subjects. ,SOHOL-ATSHI-PS.On the strength oif the annual report, internal scholarships were I granted to the following:—iDavid Charles Huighes, Wtiloughby House, Bet'twsycoed, under 13 years of age; W. Llewelyn Tho- mas. Frondecr, Llanrwst, under 16; Mary Blodiwen Roberts. De Eresby House, Bet- twsycoed, under 16; Myfaniwy Davies, Paris House, Llanrwst, 1 yeatrs; Jessie Alice Rothwell, Linnyshaw Walk en, Bettwsyieoed, under 13 years. Scholarships of £ 4 each to children from tihe Elementary Schools were awarded to Edlith Jones, Ty'nycaea.u, Llan- rwst., and Jc/nnie Thomtae, Ty Gwyn U haf. Llanrwlsit. THE HEADMASTER'S REPORT.—The following report of Mr Farr, the headmaster, Was submitted:—(Boys' Schools: As regards numbers during the three terms of the year, tlhere has been the usual gradual decrease I towards the summer term, when the school is always at its lowest. This has been more noticeable this year partly in consequence of the smaller number of entries made at the beginning of the year, bulb more especially because, in the last term, just ended, six of tihe boys, who commenced the term with us, having shortly after our work began found opening to suit 'them, letfib school to go to work; these, unifiontunately, were some of our best pupils, and all were holders of either or bursaries. Th s, though calculated to be damaging to the result of our annual exatmiination, is a. contingency we .can hardly provide against. Of the boys who have left ,us two have been with us nearly three years, and the others from 1? to 2 yeairs. The numbers on our books for the yeairs. The numbers on our books for the three terms have been 48, 44, 38. With re- gard to the iwork done, there is little that oalla for remark; the time table has been kept very much the same as in the preced- ing year, a little imore science having been I added as time could be found for t. There has been some improvement in the percent- age oif attendances made by those who have completed the terms, though there is still room for improvement in this respect, bovs having been kept at home to help their par- ents and iflor same other purposes. There have been on the whole less absences on ac- count of illness. A's regards the examina- tions of the South Kensington Department, though unia'ble this year to earn grants for our classes, we have kept up the subjects, and ;have taken the departments' examina- tions, (tihe results have, been:—(Chemistry, two boys, first!-class elementary stage; chemistry, one boy, seoond-alass elementary stage; pilaidbical geometry, one boy, second- class elementary stage. I would suggast, "0 with reference to these examinations, that we should i(yet batter results another year by taking the examination held in June during the daytime insitelad of tihat held in Ma,v at night, for the latter falls in holiday time, and .the evening trains are inconvenient; from both which reasons several of our best boys were not present dmrilng the last ex- amination also the paperSi set in June are intended for schools, while those in May are for adult classes. With reference to the holders of our scholarships I have onlv to say that though; Boone good' work has been done amongst them we have since the first election to scholarships had, very few pro- mising Ibojys brought to us by them, and the candidates, who presented themselves in 1897, were especially inferior. Girls' Schools The numLert-, in our girls' school have remained more nearly the sama throughout the twelve months past, having been for the three terms respectively 53, 51, 48. Th- is Iras been quite as many a.s our present rooms and accommodation have been I suited to, especially as Ithe illness of one of the mistresses has made it necessary for a considerable part of the last term to have the classes in two rooms instead of in three. As regards regularity of attendance I am in- formed by Miss Patterson that it is still not what she could wish, and that there is little, if any, improvement. In reporting on the work done. tlhere appears to be little that calls for special remark; I have increased the amount of drawing, done bv the classes, < taking the South Kensington Department's Examination, as well as the hours devoted to the teaching of Welsh, .both these sub- jects ha.ve been taken by masters from our boys' school. In the former subject a large proportion of the classes were evarn-ined in May, with the result that four second-class certificates and one first-lass were taken. I 'have also arran<_r^l that drill shall find a place in the time table of next term, thecon- tinued illness oif the third ?js.s>lstant, last term, having made it impossible to add it during the past term. Reporting on our schools .generallly, I consider that there has been some good work done in both schools, but I have noticed, with regret, more es- pecially in the bows' school, that there has been latterly a falling off in the quality of ¡ the material on which we have to work, so few promising boys having come to us. I have, however, reason to hope that this is only temporary and that the new building and better accommodation will npt only bring us a larger number of pupilis, "but will also will give us some more promising boys, who wili also a-fet.er.id to the end of our year, and not leave us just, before iche examination, and I hope may lead to a return to a higher stand- arci of work In our highest furms, such as I was enabled to maintain 'n former yefirs. As to external examinations, for which pupils have been entered, we have had the usual number from both schools, fitted to "take such examinations as the University Locals, bulb in most casea it. has been im- possible to send them in owing to their in- ability to pay the necessary fees, and I fear the same difficulty will continue to occur with reference to the certificates to be granted by the Welsh Board. Of those who have triken the former examination I should mention Marr B. Roberts and Edith Wynne from the giJrh. school, who passed the Ox- ford Locai Juniors' Examination, in 1897. Pupils from boith schools have been sent, in for 1898.

PURIFIED PETROLEUM IS SUPERSEDING COD- LIVER OIL. Angier's PetrolEtJlm Emulsion is rapidly superseding cod-liver oil in the treatment of lung troubles and wasting diseases. Few can take cod-liver oil for any length of time I without seriously disturbing the digestive functions. Angier's Petroleum Emulsion on the other hand is almost tasteless, agrees with the most delicate stomach and aids digestion instead of disturbing it. It will accomplish all and more than has been claimed for cod-liver oil, for besides its food value it is antiseptic, soothing, and healing, and exerts a wonderfully beneficial influence I upon the mucous membrane of throat, lungs, stomach, and intestines. li is extensively prescribed by the medical profession and is used in hospitals. Of all chemists. CAUTION.—Ours is the original Petroleum Emulsion. It is made with a special oi obtained from particular wells and carefully purified by our own process. Imitations made with ordinary petroleum cannot have the same effect. Be sure to get Angier's. A free sample on receipt of 3d for postage. The Angier Chemical Co., Ltd., 32, Snow Hill, London, E.C.
