j CARDIFF WESTERN SEWEU. DEPUTATION TO THE COUNCIL. SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM EXPLAINED. A deputation from the Cardiff Ratepayers' Association attended at the council meeting held at the Town-hall on Monday to make represent 1tions with reference to the proposed western sewer, Tho deputation wag headed by Messrs. Cor- nelius Lundie, A. IJ",a8!oy, S. Hern, Ca"8IaJlo Thol11ll<on, J. Kvte CoUett. T. H. Riches, Westyr Evans. and others. Mr. F. 11. Jotlium, in introducing1 the deputa- tion, said that their object was to show the council that considerable expense wight- be saved in dealing with the. sewerae üf the western district. As An association they did not wish to run antagonistic to the town council, but to be nr some help in carrying on schemes that were of vital importance to the tOWII. Mr. Cornelius Lundie explained that their ?ly )"int was with regard t. cvonomy. They understood that the corporation intendod to run a long pipe down to leaver- nock. Some cconomy could be effecte,1 by abandoning that scheme and adopting one on the bacteriological system, which would cost lcas in n10ncy. and take much lCR3 time to carry out. id??, ,?l,i?h they could have it t idtbe 'inblul()¿d8IVin:; the TaiT or the EIy. Ðr, Rideal, a bacteriological expert and con- suiting chemist, of London, who said that h3 had been engaged to inspect th system in o}»eration in Cardiff, explained the septic tank Rystcms ucioptui at Manchester, Jlra.d- I ford };xct,cr. Mas9:hIl8cth, and })¡jlt.jmore" He thought that the scheme conld be adapled with advantage at Cardiff, and as a site for the tanks and pnmping.station suggested the rifle range (off l'enarlh.road). especially con- sidering that they had no manufacturing | refuse to deal with in the weRlcrn district. The effluent could be run into the River Ely without detriment to Penarth or the harbour works. Alderman Oarcy asked what wonld be done with the solid matter. Ðr. RideaJ replied that there was no solid1 matter from the system In some places there was some from the manufacturing refuse, but thM ?,,Ii be consumed in refuse destructors,; Mr. Yea1 wanted to know what the popula- tion of the largest town that had adopted the system suggested was. the distance from the %e, a' d tHb length of time in which expcri- ments had been carried out. Dr. Rideal said that Manchester was the largest town, and that was 30 or 40 miles from the nca. The experiments had been going on for thrc-c Or four years, but the Local Govern- ment Roam sanctioned the scheme about three month. ago The works were not completed yet. The only plara that he eould mention whom the works were completed was Barr- head, near Gla8gow. a 1'. of 10 OW ptl?, tion. Mr. Symonds wanted to know whether it would make any difference if manufacturing works v He started in the western district. 1)r.; Idlit answered that that was a diffi- m; <1;n,anIs":ethtlah:'a:'nu: I turing refuse had been dealt with successfully. He thought works suitable for Cardiff could 1", roml1!ct.d in about two years at a cost of £30,000, but, assuming that 25 acres of land wcre required at £ 1.000 rr z r,, that w(mld mean an ?ddi tion tn the (,.t. He did not think that land for Alteration purposes would be required. fr, S. A. Brain pointed out that the sani- tarium was situated on1y about a mile fronl the site proposed for the works. "Would not tle smell arising from the sewage works inter-, fere with the Patients at fhe sanatorium5 Dr. Rideal thought it would not. He should' havo recmmendod that the works should be nearer the hospital, but was told that the leveli would not allow that-. He added, HIt "ouJd be desirabJe t-o have tb'c works around the isol,,ti )n )?.spit?J. i thIliS. to SI.Wís M-,g?,n and Mr. Veall. Dr. Rideal said that the ,t of up-keep w-it d be amost nothing. He could ,opt mention a town near about the size of Cardiff where such work. had been completed. Cromer was tlw only place near the sea. where they had adopte l the system. Mr. Lewis tthrught that the depn.1 tation should have b?en prepared to give the ceunc I mor, definite information upon the question fAt the Bame time, there ere qne3tion than financial to be con- sidered. Dr. Rideal replied that the oouncil could instruct its own engineer to prepare an esti. D1ate Ir. Lewis Morgan pointed out that the depu- tation came in with the recommendation and IHI:bt to g ve more details a8 to why it should be accepted. Mr. Ait-ken (borough engineer of Barrhead) said that tho bacteriological system had been adopted by hi- ?.un,i'. It c-ost z5,ooo, aud had been in operation for 2fc years. It was kenfc in order hy one man, who received 21s. a week. The effluent was perfectly clean, and some people had drank it. Scyet"ul oouIlinor8 a«:ked, "Who?" Nir. Aitkcn. They were members of a Dutch c (Laughter.) They drank a lot of it. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Good: How do you dispose of the ¡;oJi,I.? Dr. Rideal: Where do yon get the solids? The bacteria dispose of it, Alderman Carey: The Kilkenny cater (Laughter.) Mr, Aitken: We have had the tanks cleaned out three times. There was some grit in the chambers. Mr. Beasley said that while the corporation had called a town's meeting for Cardiff to sanction the Western Sewer Bill being pro. ceeded with they had not deposited the Bill. nor the ,tim,,t, nor the pIa us, They ought! therefore, to wait until the public had an opportunity of considering the proposals. fr J. Jenkins said that the Bill now pro. P..?d was on .11 four. with the part )f last flsl aI::r-i;t'¡,h'n o: I Mr. Hern also addressed the council, advocating further delay. Mr. IIltyd Tboma8 (referring to the fact that 80 many m(?ml?rs of the denutation lived at I PenartW ".ked if the dcpntat had prepared uR?-I)tj czik ??h o.? for Penarth. Mr. Hern rcpliu' that they were not dealing with Pena rth, Mr. Veall as"ked if Mr. Hern could name any tow -nt,,where the system had be, -? -pt"'I Mr. ? Ier n Cromer wae one. I Mr, Veall: What is the population of that pIaee? I 1\lr. Bern, About 10.000. Mr, Veiill: They adopted it there because of the bathing places. fr, C. H. Bird: Have i-oil heard any com. plaint* about the system at Cromer? Mr. H'rn: '?n. C W,:i{;d: Well, I have! (Laughter.) ltr. FIt. Jotham thanked the corporation for receiving the deputation. The Mayor 8a id the council would no doubt consider the representations made. They were face to face, however, with the fact, that the death-rate of Grangetown was double that of Roath. They, therefore, regarded the matter as one that should be pressed forward as quickly as PmRible. THE STATUTORY MEETING. TDe town-clerk then brought up the statutory notices dealing with the public meeting of Tuesday night, which were adopted by the council. Alderman Ramsdale: The scheme is practi- cally the same as it was a year ago. It is not a new scheme, so that Mr. Beaslev's arM- roents will not hold water. LECTURE BY AN EXPERT AT CARDIFF. BAC iERIOLOGICAL TREATMENT FAVOURED. A scientific lecture upon the bacteriotofrieal treatment of sewage in preference to diooharg- I ing it into tidal waters, as it iJ i-roposet do by the Cardiff Corporation, was given Dr. Rideal, of London, at a meeting of Cardiff Property Own, and Ratepayers' A ciation held at tho Young Men's Christ AS90c.intion buildings on Monday evening. Cornelius Lundie prEsided dVLr a largo ativi. dance of me mhors of the aBBoi"tion, engineers, and medical gentlemen Alderman Trounce, ) Councillor IiiUd Thomas, and Mr. Hiarpur, the ] borough eÙinr. ?st?r? also present. In introducing Dr. Hideal, the Chairman said he believed the corporation were I.i.g what | i e)?e:)l;1 t;)hhoriie:elifge: I the purification of th?? town, and especially for the proper disposal of the mw:' g,? of the western part of the dist rict, The pr,. tion had given notice to promote ?DiII in Par" liamnt to carry out their ViCWB, ut some of them hol)?d that they would bo able to I cOlJvince the corpnration that it would be bettr and cheaper for them to uhject the sewage to bacteriological treatment rath'.r than deal with it as they now proposed. (Hear, hear.) Dr. Rideal, in a very concise and able address dwelt upon the advantages of dealing with sewage by means of the septic tallk system, or. as he wished to term it, bac- teriological treatment. He pointed out the danger of discharging sewage into tidal waters, and afterwards dealt with the various pro- cesce* of the bacterjolegieal treatment, which, he contended, was chc:i]>er and lC53 offensive. At 08weAry, $,,tt(, Carlisle, and Mi,i,h??,t r? the bacteriological system had been adopted, find he claimed that it would be hett;r for the corporation to deal with the sewage of the western part, of the towzi on this plan rather than comey it to the «c;t. At Manchester the corporation deckled, first, of all, tü adopt, what they termed the pipe scheme "-a similar scheme to that now- proposed by the Cardiff Corpamtioll-a.t êt cost of £ 273,000. but as a result of a uumber of etperimeuts carried out by several experts it was rcwived to construct septic tanks, although it would -?.t? them 12M,000 more than tho "pipe scheme." If tL, corporation carried out their scheme thoy would dis- C ha rge "MIdo a?-wa" into the entuary. l.u?;2 a nuiganc" to their neighbours, and make the Severn WOTEe than it was at present. The d< expressed big .inoere hope that the corp' i.n would adopt, his ugg..ti??n?. The lecture was illustrated by means of limelight views, and the lecturer also remarked that he was not there as the representative of any of the septic tank companies. r. Atkin, a Scotch engineer anel sur- veyor to a council in Scotland that had adopted the septic tank system, stated that tho bacteriological treatment of sewage worked admirably. Under ordinary drcum" stances. an installation near the rifle rang., at Cardiff would cost t35,(M. Councillor Ilkyd Thomas: Do yon inolude in that the price of land? tl, tkriC. ia: no idea of the valua^ tion ni land hcr-e. Mr. G. A. Lundie read a n<swspupcr extract showing that the Local Gcwcrnment Board had aanctioncd the construction of the septic tank system, and that the" had not compelled the authorities to lease .,d for the filtration of the cfflmtit when it, was found that it could be discharged into the sen. 1. -Iy to a question, Dr. Rideal said the Royal Commission appointed to consider the! t'cw peptic tank system of treatment had not yet reported on the matter. Councillor Illtyd Thomafl asked what was the 1:1 rgoe3t town where the new system was worked. Dr, Rideal: Manchester. Councillor Thomas: Have the works been runelo at, Man"hest..r? Dr. Rideal: No; because they only sot their loan two months ago. The doctor abided that, a Cardiff boasted of being a pioneer ()wn. it would be well if it took up this new scheme of dealing with the sewage. Mr. Con vers Kirby, of X<,wport, who w". present at the meeting, said that pcptic tank system works had been carried out at Barr- bend. Exeter, M,r(':ln1h, and Taumon, and th9 work. at Manchester were in course of construction. Ifr. W. Harpur, the borough engineer, in proposing a vote of thanks to Dr, Rideal and Mr. Atkin for their lectures, observed that, as the chairman had said, the corporation were doing their best according to their opinion. Three years ago he (the speaker) had the honour of delivering a lectore at the Univer- sity College upon sewage disposal, and he then went thoronghly into the question, He had followed the matter carefully 4?ver sin"e, 1q 1-It'It1 visitcd a good many of the septic tank works, but he had found nothing to change his opinion that the scheme which had been adopted by the corporation was the best one. Dr. Rí(leal told them something ùf the experiments at Manchester, but he could have told them more. The doctor had also: ppoken of the experiments at L-dja but he (Mr. ifirlitirt) 111. ,?ult. f th. ments. The question of bacteriologicali.v dis- posing of the sewage of the western district of Cardiff had been thnNug-hly and well con- .der,?d by th" Cardiff Corporation, assisted by himBelf and the greatest expert engineer i.thefin the kingdom, but ho (Mr. Harpur) waa most decidodly of the opinion that, in the interests of economy and efficiency, the scheme of the corporation was the he.t .,cheme" Mr. J. J. Nsal-e seconded the vote of thanks. Mr. T. H. Riches, in supporting it, said they were well aware that, within the last five or six years there had been quite a revolution in dealing with cewage, and thou-1 the experiments already made for bacteriological treatment of sewage it fled further experimenta. (Hear, hear.) was for the corporation to do what t hdievej was best., and not what their gr, fathers did. On the following evening, proceeded, they would be asked to vote fc Bill of which they knew nothing. The was not hefore the public, and upon" ground, therefore, should they be asked sign a blank chequc for the corpora authorising them to carry out something i knew nothing of? Councillor Illtyd Thomas replied that Bill was identical with that of last year. that it had been advertised in the newspapers. Mr. Thomas suggested that it would be better for Mr, Riches and others to go to the engi- neer's office to see the plans instead of pack- ing a meetintr with opponents, HB they did l?isi y zir. (C*r eii laot year. (Cries of "Order, order.") In answer to another ratepayer, Mr. Harpur, said that Grangetown would be included in the present scheme. Th-s motion was then put to the meeting not carried with acclamation. In a further discussion Mr. S. Hern advo- cated the septic tank system, a-a he believed, if adopted, it would mean a saving of at least .■ £ 80.030 to the ratepayers. He urged tho,e pre- sent to vote against the corporation scheme at to-ni?ht- (Tuesday's) meeting. The Chairman also favoured the adoption of the -septic tank system, and later put questions to Mr, Wcst\'r. Evans )li,it?r. and others as to the proper l?f"l cou p e t. 1,?,ithItWard to i¡..h,si: fOli:i;¡ r;;no if it was necessary for the corporation to call a. second meeting.

O. Hees and Co.. ironmongers, Pontypridd, sued defendant. Mr. John Davies, landlord of the Victoria Hotel, Pontypridd. for £.303 2s. 8d. for goods so, (I and work done in connection with the l'ontypridd Music,)!. Defendant counter-claimed for £371 for money lent. Mr. S. T. Evan1?, M.P., and Mr. Fankey (instructed by Mr. P. Phillips) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. 11, Francis-Williams, Q.C., and Mr. Khya Williams (instructed by Mr. Spick"tt) for the defendant. According to the plaintiffs' case, towards the end of December, 1893. the plaintiffs and defen- (wnt and a theatrical gentleman named Smithson formed a syndicate to take over the Pontypridd Music-hall, which formed part of the Victoria Hotel, in the occupation of the defendant. IJy arrangement, Mr, Rees sup- plied the fittings and carried out certain etructurrvl alterations. A partnership de-ed WHg drawn up between the parties, but was never signed, alHI the plaintiffs ceased to have anything to do with the music-hall. Plainaff. declared that Davies undertook to pay liabi- lities. The plaintiff in his evdelJce declared that it was agreed that Davies should, arry on the hall by himself, and should pay all debt. thereon. He denied that he (plaintiff) was to be liable for anything. Mr. B. Francis.WiEiallis: Did you never tell the baIlI, manager at Pontypridd that you did not want to be known n connection with the IIlUaie.haJ¡ because you were a promient mem- ber of the religious Forward Movement?— Witness: I never told him anything of the kind. I suppooe you gave up the religious body in question for the music-hall?

The defend. J o?n said he arranged with Rees and Smithson to take the hall, £ 100 a year rent to be paid after the first year. Tho partnership was agreed upon, and was in existence still. The hall was now carried on by himself ani his brother. He used to pay money oil plaintiff's aocount to tne profes- sionals. as lie was a gentleman who never got out of bed titIthe afternoon. Cross-exairined by Mr. Abel Thomas, he sa d he was a former pni?ilist i c champion. heM;a.:lFj'n;i(;(fnthat the word of u. pugilistic champion was W'I much to be relied on as that 01 a man who had given up the religious Forward Movement for the lighter amusement of the variety stage.

DISPUTE OVER A CARDIFF SHIPPING SHARE. Short v. Thomas.—The plaintiff. John Tre- gerthen Short, sued defendant for a declara- tion of account in respect of a certain sixty- fourth share in the steamship Rosella.—Mr. B, Francis-Williams and Mr. Sankey 'instructed by Messrs. Vachell and Co.) for the plaintiff, and Mr. Abel Thomas, Q.C.. M.P.. and Mr. S. T. Evans (instructed by Messrs. Downing and Handcock) for the defendant. The plaintiff's casc was that on or about, the year 1891 the defendant, a shipowner at Car- diff, under the name of M. Thomas and Co., verbally agreed with the plaintiff to buy, and the defendant bought for and on behalf of the plaintiff, a one sixty-fourth share in the steamship in qu,?ti on. The defendant, how- ever, with the plaintiff's consent, was regis- tered as the owner of the share, and he also acted a,the managing owner of the said .d kept it, accounts Until it was ,.ld? The price of the share was X132 lOs, It was agreed that plaintiff should he debited with £120 10s after deducting an amount then due to him from defendant, and it was a,ff that defendant should keep any profits which might accrue towards discharging the amount ot tn indebtedne-s for the share. Accounts were rendered from time to time, but since May. 1897. largo profits had been made on the vessel and dividends declared, but defendant had renriered no account to the plaintiff, aud | the defendant on being asked had refused to account for dividends due. and claimed to be absolute owner ,f ,he share in question. I :o;m;s .fld t:r £ 9,000, but defendant pl?, tiff no part of this m?.nt. The plaintiff claimed a declaration that defen- dant was simply truslee nf the share for I plaintiff, an account of aJJ the profits made, and the payment of the amount due. The defence was that defendant in 1891 agreed to sell the share. but until Xii5 was paid the said share was to remain the pro- perty of defendant. The plaintiff had never paid any part of the balance, although repeatedly asked to do so. In 1897 the defen- dant stated that he wrote plaintiff the fol- lowing letter:—"Referring to the share you promised to take, and the conversation we had on it some week or so ago, I have thought it best, to take it myself, and have told the auditor to place it on the books in my name. You will. in a business aspect, see I could not keep, it open any longer." Defendant said he wrote this himself and handed it to plaintiff in person, and told him what it was about. Plaintiff in his evideifce had denied all knowledge of this letter. Plaintiff and defendant and other witnesses having been heard, In summing up. hi. Lordship said defendant unquestionably agreed in 1891 to sell one share to plaintiff Plaintiff was his brother-in-law. and intended the share for his son, who was then not of age. Accordingly, defendant transferred the share in his business book. to the plaintiff. At the same time, he credited defendant with a small sum which was owing to him. From that time forward till 1897 j defendant rendered voyage accounts to the 1 plaintiff regularly, and he also rendered an account showing how matters stood between them. In the accounts "orrent he debited plaintiff with the interest on the purchase money, and credited plaintiff with such divi- dends as the ship earned. In the course of Hx years the indebtedness of plaintiff to depen- dent wan thus reduced to £!Q2, Now. in the .rear 1897 shipping considerably improved in va)uc. Daintiff ?d that during ee?era] ?-ea? he had been pressing defendant to pay the balance of tRe purchase money, hut defendant was willing to allow the aocount to run on. He (the judge) was satis-fled that up to 1897 plaintiff considered the share as belonging to plaintiff. From that time he (the judge) took the defendant's ncfouni, of what happened He said: "I saw the plaintiff some time in October of that year, and I said You must pay for the share, for if you don't Itake it myself.' P'.aintiff answered: I will pay." There was noihing in this in the nature of a,re-sale of the share to the defendant. The ship had earned during the preceding half. year a dividend of something like 20 per cent of the amount due from plaintiff to defendant. Defendant knew of the dividend on the day he transferred the share to himself. In his (the judge's) opinion, lie had no business to do anything of the kind, and he thought it was wrong for him to have dealt with the property in that way. Ifavizig done it. he wrote ? ?tbe.' to the plaintiff (giyen above) If he did wri t' .uh a letter he had no bus ness to d? it at all. But he (the judge) was not eaUen?d that the plaintiff received <mch a )etter. a.n? he could not come to the con- clusion that he had. But even if he had h, (the judge; was by no means sure that plain- tiff ?.!? oM?e.i to take any notice of it or that his silenc?, meant consent. As defendant had not satisfied the court tha.t he ))ou?ht the share back again plaintiff ?? entitled to the relief be asked. I Judgment was given for plaintiff for an agreed amount of cill.

A brave shew is made at the Cardiff Empire this week by one of the beat groups of artisuu that hns been billed for 80me time. There is one "turn" that iõ remarkable above all others, and iliat is the dazzling performance of Mdlle. De Din, who goes through a eeries of oerpenh. and other dances in a blaze of multi-coloured light;, thrown on to the stage by the electrical expert. P. H. Boggis. At one moment the stago is in absolute darkness, and the next reveal? the graceful figure of the per- former standing on a mirror or bright sted- pILle, upon which the brilliant light is made toO play in a seemingly en d Ie-sit variety of shades from above tho wings. The effect of it all ia most weird and realistic, and every- one is kept in auepen^e during that parI. of the performance in which the lady is repre- sented to be ttrugglin?: for life in wild. leaping flames of lire. Bert Gilbert make* liia first ap- pearance in Cardiff, and mixe* UP in the most grotesque fashion a wmg and a disputation villi all irate cabman. Some very fine feats of strength are performed by two magnificently built athletes. Michael and Polo, whose, work is graced with a neat- ness and method wbich win the approval of the entire houee. Another new feature is the capital comedy introduced by Albert Atlaa and Lizzie Collins, whose burlesque of the melodramatic type of acting makes excellent fun, Scene* of special interest on the Gib- bons' bio-tableaux are those of the homo- coming of the C.I.V.'s. and a synopsis descrip- tive of stirring ineidents in the life of Joan of Arc. Othera who contribute to the pro- gramme are Mr. George Neno. character comedian; the Swinson Sisters, dnettiata and dancers; Miss Hetty King, comedienne and danoer; and the Sisters Boeanquet, operatic alld comedy duettiata.

I lIS LCCY CLARKE'S CON- CERT PARTY. SOUTH WALES TOrR OPENED AT NEWPORT. Miss Lucy Clarke's Welsh Coi(-eL-t P,v (under the direction of .Mr. X. Vert;, com- prising Miss Mageie Davies, Miss Lucy Clarke. Mr. Philip Lewis (violin, Mr. (Dyfed Lewis, Mr. Barry Liridou, and 31r. J. E. Deacon (at the pianoforte), opened their tour of South Wales towns with a grand concert at the Trodegar-hall. New- port. 011 Monday night. The tone and quality of the concert were undoubted. It was a happy combination of "class" and popularity, and was worthy of the highest and most cultivated appreciation. All the artistes were present, and the programme was completed without an exception or a variation due to a singer's cold or a mishap of any kind. A significant key-note of tlie character of the concert was struck when Mr. J. E. Deacon played the "Pica, dor" solo oil the piano with splendid effect. 1 Mr. Barry Lindon was great in all his songs. An old favourite b??,s. hp has more than ever th(? charm of p)<?sin?. H(? w. s particularly it home in the good o)d roysh,ring song, "Choru? Gentlemen." for which he had a bumper of applause. His great hit, however, was made in Hoi- brook's delightful song. "I Love the Sea." | which he sang with the most splendid i effect, the enunciation being perfect. For this he had to respond to an encore, and sang the well-known "Philadelphia in the Morning. Miss Maggie Davies was Proper! v described as the "leading Welsh soprano, and was made a favourite of with the audience. In "Ever So Far Awav" she sang so sw?tty and with such prrttv pS. o i that the hearers would not be put off wilh a mero h)? in acknowledgment of th'ir I.qrl,)re?(,iat,ion. She had to re-appear, and ,then gave the "Hugo" song in ddifio? i style. Her most pronounced su? !cpss. however. WM in the "Japa- nese Love Song." in which her I flexibility of voice w, shown to delightful effect. :li-s Lucy Clarke was in msgniii- cent vni^ c-e when she made her first appear- ance in the stately song "The Encban- tress," so well suited to her full. rÍJh, rounded tones, which fell clear as Ml n<ft<s and delighted the whole house. t'pon her second appearance, in Cowen's "I will givo you rest." both the sentiment and the singer conspired to demand au encore, and. with excellent variation. Miss Clarke in response sang the nopular Irish song, "Tho awld plaid shawl." One of the most striking successes of the evening, if not quite tin most pronounced, was the violin manipulation of Mr. Philip Lewis, who is making a very popular name in London, and is, from all appearances, destined to carry his .success with him wherever he goes. He early ingratiated himself with the audience by the britut v which ho infus<>d into a set of Irish airs, some of the unaccompanied parts of which were ren- dered with the most delightful effect. Again, in the intricacies of the "Scene de la Czardas" he .showed himself the perfect master. In a set of Russian airs "he was agam delightfully skilful, and captured the hearts of all the lovers of precision and delicacy. Afr. Dyfcd Lewis was heard to splendid effect in three or four songs, but. in none more sucoessfullv than in the finely moving patriotic sentiment "For Queen and Mother England." Again, in the well- known and sweetlr prettv song, "Beloved, it is morn." Mr. Lewis sustained his great reputation. In every musical respect the concert was a perfect success.
