MOLD. SUDDEN DEATH OF A RETIRED FARMER.— Mr. Benjamin Thomas, aged 76, a retired farmer, residing at Glyn Bank, Nerquis, died with tragic suddenness on Wednesday morning. About 8.30 his wife went downstairs and pro- cured a cup of tea for him. This deceased drank and asked for another cup. Mrs. Thomas complied with his request, but, upon returning to the bedroom, found her husband was dead. The facts were communicated to the County Coroner, who, upon investigation, decided it would be unnecessary to hold an inquest. COSMOPOLITANISM AND SOCIALISM. Our correspondent writes:—" It would be interest- ing to ascertain by what means the Liverpool Fabian Society (the Williamson-street Socialist Club) succeeded in securing a place in the syllabus for the session of 1898-9 of the Mold Cosmopolitan Society-' a society'—please note —' framed for the discussion of literary, scientific, and social subjects upon a common platform of human brotherhood and neutral political and religious grounds [mde syllabus]. It may have been due to the seductive title of the lecture promised for Tuesday evening last, viz., I How to get on in life,' with which title, be it said, the lecture delivered had little in common. If, for the sake of argument, it is assumed the title was appropriately selected, the Cosmopolitans now know that the royal road to success runs viA the equalisation of land, the abolition of the House of Lords, the suppression of the landlord, the aristocrat, and the capitalist, in fact the doctrine of down with everything,' including the ruffian who receives dividends. I do not anticipate far- reaching results, baneful or otherwise, from Tuesday's vapourings, but if the event will tend to cause those responsible to exercise greater discrimination in the preparation of future syllabus, the 'lecture'—save the mark- will not have been delivered in vain." SEQUEL TO THE DOYLE CASES.—At the County Hall, on Monday afternoon, before Messrs. H. Lloyd Jones and W. P. Jones, Mary Glynne and Anne Fairclough, sisters, residing at St. Helens, were charged with assaulting their father, James Doyle, hawker, of Milford- street. Complainant stated that on leaving the court that morning, after appearing against his son, he went home. Mrs. Glynne came to the door and endeavoured to get into fchd bousa to do violence to his wife. He prevented her, and she got hold of him by the neck and struck him on the mouth with her fist. At the same time Mrs. Fairclough hit him on the head with a brick, causing a wound which bled profusely. Complainant's wife gave corroborative evidence. —The defendant's version was that Mrs. Fair- clough went to ask her father to return her a loan of 305., which was a. debt contracted during the life of his first wife. He came out with a stick and struck Mrs. Glynne a blow which caused them to fall one each way. Doyle fell backwards against the door of his house, and the wound on his head was caused by contact with the latch. Evidence for the defence was given by both defendants, together with Michael Duffy, Mary Thurden, Ellen Meacock, and Anne Murphy, residents in that sylvan retreat yclept 'Bedlam.'—Their worships were sceptical as to the feasibility of a fall backwards, causing a wound in the forehead, and fined defendants each 10s. and costs or seven days.
