THE INDEPENDENT LABOUR PARTY IN WALES. INAUGURATION OF THE MOVE- MENT IN CARDIFF. A meeting of workers interested in the National Independent Labour Party was held at Cardiff on Monday evening. This party, of which Mr. Ben Tillett, Mr. Keir Hardie, Mr. Cunninghame Graham, and others of that stamp are leading lights. repudiates (we are inforired) all connection with Conservatives or Radicals, and regards both poli- tical parties as alike inimical to the interests of the workers. The meeting decided to carry on operations irrespective of any political party, and, further, that no one holding official position in or connection with any political organisation shall be eligible for membership. The objects of the new party are the promotion of the interests of working' men in every direction, and the securing of direct labour representation on local bodies and' in Parliament. It was further decided to com- mence active propaganda in Cardiff of the prin- ciples of the party, by means of indoor and out- door meeting, and the hon. secretary (Mr. W. Tyler Hammond, of 10, Lyndhurst-street, Cardiff) was requested to ascertain the cost of a hall for weekly meetings for the discussion of social sub- jects. Leading members of the Independent Labour party, including some of the newly-elected M.P.'s, have promised to visit Cardiff at an early dat3. J

After a few suitable remarks from the chairman, the pro- gramme was proceeded with. After an. address from Mr. James Rodcliff, of Barry, an appropriate solo was sung by the Cadets, '"Standing by a purpose true," after which Mr. Ambrose Bennett gave an address, in which he said he was pleased to see so many boys there that evening. Seeing it was a pleasant summer's evening it spoke well for the officers of the section that they had succeeded in making meetings more attractive than the out- side world. He trusted that each Cadet there L would do all that lay in their power r.o stem the current of intemperance. A solo by Mrs. Rodcliff (" Cling to the Bible ") brought to a close the pro- ceedings. -.V- _< 4L_SLJ«

FAILURE OF A BARRY DOCK GLAZIER. A meeting of the creditors of Mr. Israel ITepp, glass dealer, of Holton-ro: d. Barry Dock, was held on Tuesday at the office of the Cardiff Official Receiver (Mr. T. II. St.-ph"!1:-). Queen-streat, Cardiff.—The debtor, by his statement of affairs, showed liabilities £ 159 Os. :3d. expected to rank for dividend assets, £ 27 19s. lid. ana preferential debts. £ 2 16s. 7d., leaving a balance of £ 25 3s. 4d. The deficiency account is put at £ 276 5s. 3d., and is reduced to £ 133 "17s. ?d. after giving credit for estimated net profits. The receiving order was made upon a creditor's petition in consequence of the debtor's failure to comply with the require- ments of a bankruptcy notice. The debtor (who is a foreigner) came to Liverpool in December, 1887, and worked his passage in a ship to Cardiff. He earned his livelihood as a jobbing glazier, and subsequently in June, 1889, having obtained a good connection among builders in the district, he started with a capital of £ 45 as a painter and glazier, taking small contracts. In June. 1890. he removed to Barry Dock, and continued the same business. The building trade suddenly came to a standstill there, and the debtor was unable to obtain the money due to him from builders.—No resolution was paused, and the matter was left in the hands of the official receiver.

PEXARTI-I POLICE COURT. MONDAY.—Before Colonel Guthrie (in the chair) and Mr. J. P. Thompson. NON-PAYMENT OF W ATEn-RATE.-Mr. Barstow, applied, on behalf of the Gas and Water Company, for an order against Mr. Thomas Norman for a sum of £ 1 lls. 2^d. due to the company.—Defen- 2 dant did not appear, and judgment was given in default. NEIGHBOURS'QUARRELS.—Mr. George Matthews. solicitor's clerk, was charged by Mr. John Vaughan, parish sexton, with having assaulted him on Sunday, July 3rd. There was a cross-summons charging Mr. Vaughan with having used threats against Mr. Matthews, and with having wilfully damaged a piece of trellis work belonging to Mr. Matthews. Mr. Belcher appeared for Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. J. H. Jones for Mr. Matthews. The whole of the proceedings arose ) out of a disagreement over a garden wall, which Mr. Vaughan had had rebuilt, and whilst doing so had knocked away an upright attached to Mr. Vaughan's summer house. A photo of the wall and buildings was put in for inspection. Mr. Vaughan said that on Sunday, July 3rd, he was in the churchyard about one o'clock. Mr. Matthews came up to him and struck him on the back with his stick. Witness retired back cn the grass, and Mr. Matthews followed. He picked up a stone to threaten Mr. Matthews if he continued to assault him, and then noticed a knife in defendant's hand, with which he said he would rip him open. Witness, in reply, called him a fat-headed coward." Mr. Brock, who was passing, advised him to seek police protection. In cross-examination by Mr. Belcher, witness said the wall between the houses belonged to him, and he did not damage a piece of trellis work belonging to Mr. Matthews. He had not insulted Mrs. and the Misses Matthews by singing Meet me by moonlight alone," nor did he get anyone he employed to do -so. Mr. Matthews didn't say anything before striking him-the first word was a blow. Mr. Brock, of Church-place, proved seeing the assault, and hearing Mr. Matthews threaten to cut Mr. Vaughan to pieces.-For the defence and in support of the cross-summons, Mr. Matthews said Mr. Vaughan had done wilful I •damage to his trellis work, and he threatened to smash his face in. The threat was used on the Sunday, when witness told Mr. Vaughan that if he continued to insult his family he should thrash him. Witness denied striking Mr. Vaughan, and said lie only held up his stick to emphasize his words. He did not have his knife in his hand, but it was in his pocket in a case.—Evidence was given by Mrs. Matthews, Miss Melinda Matthews, and Mr. W. J. Thomas, at the conclusion of which the Bench dismissed the counter charge for threats and damage against Mr. Vaughan, and fined Mr. Matthews 5s. and costs for assault.-The Chair- man remarked that it was too' bad that so much time of the court should have been taken up with such a charge. The case lasted two hours. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A CAPTAIN. — Thomas Robert Thompson, ship steward, sued Capt. John Cannal, of the sailing ship Afghanistan, for the delivery of a number of discharges. Cannal did not. appear.—Plaintiff, in reply to Mr. J. H. Jones, who appeared for him, said he had been on the Afghanistan, and had banded his previous dis- charges to the captain, who now refused to deliver them up. In consequence he had been eight weeks out of employment.-The Magistrates: ordered, delivery of the discharges when the captain landed, and fined him 10s. and costs, the Chairman remarking that it was disgraceful that thesteward's Hiseharges should have been withheld so long. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. Frederick Reece was charged with being drunk and disorderly at PenaTth on the 1st July.-Defendant pleaded. guilty to being drunk, but said he had no recollec-, tion of being disorderly.—Potice-sergeant Salter, proved the case, and the Bench fined defendant 2s. 6d., including costs. •; OBSTRUCTING THE THOROUGHFARE.—William Arthurs, ice-cream vendor, was charged with causing an. obstruction on the 28th June on the Penarth Esplanade, at the corner of Richmond- road by standing an ice-cream barrow there.— I Police-constable W. Evans proved the case, and said that when he requested defendant to move on he refused to do .so.Dcfendant, who is rather deaf. made & rambling statement to the Bench, .and the magistrates fined him Is., including costs, and warned.him not to obstruct the thoroughfare again.

BMtSY RAILWAY COMPANY. 'F EXTENSION OF THE DOCK (PROPERTY. Ti&e Committee of Directors of the Barry Rail- way Company who have had under consideration the question of erecting additional tijis. in order to provide facilities fer dealing with thf increasing trade, laaveipraotically reached the cont usion that, whilst some small addition might be made to the number of tips, it woxsld not be adequate to the advancieg requiremetrus of the undertaking, there beiog necessity, iif due provision is to be made for the future., [that more extenske opera- tions shouid be undertaken.

FAILURE OF A CADOXTON FARMER, Da'sjid Rees, a farmer, of CadoxtOD.. came up for his public examination (before Mr. A. F. Langley, the registrar) at the Cardiif Bankruptcy-court on Tuesday.—In reply to questions from the official receiver (Mr. T. H. Stephens), debtor said he now carried on business as a farmer at Wiayte Far in. Cadoxton, previous to which he had occupied a farm known as Walter's Farm, under the same landlord. Re had borrowed money from a. man name Llewellyn, to whom he still owed £ |30.— The Official Receiver Why did you not give in his ns.mc ?—Because I did not understand the business.—Do you know he has made a claim of j6700 ? Yes, sir.—How does he arrive at that ? I don't know.- The Registrar ordered the examine tion to stand adjourned to the next court in order for the bankrupt to furnish an account of this particular debt.

ORIGINAL POETRY. WATCHING. Twas an afternoon in summer, On a warm and sunny day, And I was tired and weary As I wended my homeward way. -1 had been with the sick and dynng, I had talked with the poor and sad, But they all were so worn and troubled, There seemed nothing to make me glad. 1 passed up the street in sorrow, My eyes were downcast to the ground, But just at a well-known turning I raised them and looked around. For there by the fusv roadside. On the stump of a bygone tree, -A little child's head was resting She was sleeping as sound-as could be. Her hat in the breeze was flapping, But her face was bared to the sun. I felt puzzled and anxious a>moment, As I gazed at this little lone one. Not far from the little stranger Many men were at work'in the road, '-So thinking that they might help me, I unburdened my mind of its load. One answered at once, and kindly, They knew not the child, he said, iBut she had been sleeping a long time, And awoke, yet scarce lifted her head. 'Then I asked him to care former safety, As I could not then wait any more, Oh, Yes we are watching," he told me, So I went on my way as before. mut my feet and my heart grew lighter, For I thought as I wended-my way,' ■ Just so are God's angels watching, IThey will guard us for ever.and aye.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A PENARTH POLICEMAN. A POLICEMAN CONVICTED FOR ASSAULT. John Hayes. P].sey-street, and Herbert Hooper. mason, New Piassey-street, Penarth, were charged with having assaulted Police-constable Evans and with having resisted the police whilst in the execu- tion of their duty, on the 6th July.—Police-con- stable Bowen was charged by Hnyos and Hooper with assaulting them, also with assaulting Mrs. Mary Hayes, themotherof John Hayes.—A consider- able amount of local interest was manifested in the case, and at intervals the police had to suppress the ebullitions of feeling manifested by the audience in the Court.—Mr. Belcher appeared for the police, and Mr. George David for the defen- dants.—Before calling witnesses Mr. Belcher gave a brief outline of the case, and said that during the whole of the time he had been connected with that Court no such serious charges had been brought against the police. — Polics-constable Evan Bowen said At 11.30 p.m. on July 5th I was on duty in Maughan-street, and had occasion to arrest two men near the Royal Hotel. I was proceeding with them handcuffed when Hayes appeared, and said, "Give them a chance." The prisoners then rushed towards Hayes, and Hayes struck me on the neck and tripped me down, and I was kicked several times by Hayes. I told him I knew him. Before I could get up the prisoners got away up High street, and I followed them. When in Arcot street I met Police- constable Evans. I could not find the prisoners, and I returned into High-street. When near the Plymouth Hotel I again saw Hayes, and told him he would have to go with me to the Police-station. He said, All right," and we walked along. When near the corner of Plassey-street, where Hayes lives, he struck me and tripped me down. I had my knees broken, my trousers and tunic torn, and lost my helmet. Hayes shouted Help and some women came out and caught hold of him. I proceeded about 20 yards with the prisoner, when we met Hooper, who said, Let him alone," and struck me on the chest with his fist. 1 proceeded with Hayes to the Police-station, and at the corner of Plassey-street Hayes tripped me down for the third time, and got away. He was subsequently arrested by Constable Eden. I arrested Hooper.— Cross-examined by Mr. David: I charged the prisoners, in the Police-station with rescuing other two prisoners, and they are now charged with re- sisting the police. When I met Hayes he had only his trousers, shirt, an-1 lioots on. I do not know that the row in Ma' street was a row between a sailor and two w The prisoners I had apprehended first got n" vith the handcuffs and keys. The keys were nut in the handcuffs. I reported that the handcuffs and keys had been lost. I have never been in trouble before. I did pay a boy Rowlands, at Cogan, 2s. 6d. over a charge of assault. I never struck Hayes. If I kicked him it was inside the station. The first time I saw Hayes was at the corner of Plassey-street, and not when I was in company with Police-constable Evans.—Mr. David I put it to you that it is an absolute un- truth. the whole story you have told about Hayes before you met Evans ?—Bowen I first saw him at the corner of Plassey-street about a quarter to 12. When Eden apprehended Hayes the latter said to Eden," Don't let him hit me any more." I did hit Hayes at the police-station, but did not kick him. I did so in the excitement of the moment. I also assaulted Hooper in my excitement. I couldn't say if Hayes had to get a chair to hold between himself and me to preserve himself from my violence, but there was a chair between us.—Mr. David And your violence towards these men only ceased when your superior officer, King, came in and interfered ?—Police-constable Bowen Yes. Hayes was refused bail, and h:.d to spend the night in prison.—Re-examined I have nothing to do with entering charges. What I did in assault- ing the men at the police-station was done under a sense of the violence I had previously suffered at their hands. I am 21 years of age. Police-constable Evans corroborated the evidence of Bowen a's to the part Hayes took in the affair, and said if anyone had gone across the street and struck Bowen he must have seen it. He did not see Hooper till he was in the station. He saw Hayes trip up Bowen. He also saw both Hayes and Hooper assaulted at the police-station, but did not interfere.—Police-constable Eden said he saw Bowen and Hayes struggling, and Bowen was thrown. Hayes ran towards him. Witness corro- borated Bowen's evidence as to the condition of the latter's clothes, and the escape of the two prisoners through the interference of Hayes.— Cross-examined When Hayes ran up to him he said, Don't let him hit me any more," and on the way to the police-station Haves complained of Bowen having ill-treated him.—This concluded the case against Hayes and Hooper; and the court then considered a Counter-charge of assault against Constable Bowen of having on the date mention assaulted Hayes and Hooper, and also assaulted Mary Hayes.—John Hayes, in reply to Mr. David, said I was at the Oddfellows' Club on the evening in question till eleven o'clock. I have been a total abstainer for several years. After I had got to bed I heard cries from the direction of the Catholic Chapel. I put my trousers and boots on, and went up towards the Artillery Drill-hall. I there saw Constables Bowen and Evans. I had not ssen Bowen before that. Bowen asked me what I was doing there, and I told him. We had got as far as the Plymouth by that time, and Bowen and I walked down towards my house, Evans staying behind.

For-tiie first and secoj&doffences they imposed a fine of £5 each, including espouses, and for the third a fine of £ 1 including exposes. In giving the judgment of the Court, the Chairman said tfeey thought that, whilst tit was their dnty to protect the police when ill-used, it was only right that the public should be protected against abuse from the police. Bowen had no right to take the law into his own hands and use his hands and feet I upon people. It was a polieeman's duty rather to suffer than to cause suffering. The magistrates had taken a very lenient view of the casein giving Bowen an opportunity of paying a fine instead of sending him to prison, as they might have done, for a eouple of months. He hoped this would be a warning to Bowea to be more careful iu future, warning to Bowen to be more careful in future,

Mr. Alderman Meggitt presided, and there were also present Dr. O'Donnell. Mr. W. Thomas (Barry), Mr. J. Pardoe (surveyor), and Mr. J. A. Hughes (clerk). The Surveyor's report having been read, the Committee proceeded to the business on the agenda sheet. The Surveyor reported that he had inspected Mr. Benjamin Lewis's cellar in the Barry-road, and he was of opinion that the nuisance com- plained of was not caused by any structural defect of the drainage system, but by the heavy rains recently. The Surveyor also reported that he had visited the first house in Main-street, in which Mr. Lewis said water had been in the cellar, and the inhabitants told him they had had no water in the cellar. That was the only house Mr. Lewis had mentioned.—On the recommendation of Alderman Meggitt, it was decided to send Mr. Benjamin Lewis a copy of the paragraph with reference to the matter. The Surveyor submitted plans and estimates of the proposed new road from Port-road to Beggar's Well, and, after a long discussion, it was agreed to recommend the Board to apply for the money to carry out the work. The Surveyor reported that on Friday last a large piece of woodwork belonging to a ship's cabin was being conveyed along Palmers town- road, when the conveyance on which it was broke down. Instead of removing it out of the way of vehicles it was left there, and he had been obliged to have it removed. The cost of doing so had been &s. The owner of the woodwork was Mr. F. Classey. -The Surveyor was instructed to apply to Mr. F. Classey for the cost of its removal to the field adjoining. Plans for improvements to Pike-street and Morell-street were brought forward. Notices had been served, and it was decided to allow the matter to stand over until the uotices had expired. The Surveyor submitted plans for the making of the road from Beggars' Well to Port-road, and gave the estimate for the same, including kerbing and channelling, levelling and filling up hollows.— After a short discussion on the matter, it was decided to recommend the Board to apply for the money for the making of the same. The Surveyor informed the committee that Messrs. Aveling and Porter's man had come down and examined the boiler of the steam-road roller, and, after sending his report to Messrs. Aveling and Porter, they had written him to recommend the supply of a new boiler, the cost of which, including fixing, &would be £ 29.—It was decided to recommend the Board to buy a new boiler, as it would be cheaper in the end. Plans were submitted for the erection of 10 houses in Castleland-street for Mr. G. Russell (passed) stables in Fryatt-street for Mr. Richard Panstone six houses in Buttrill-street for Mr. E. Phillips wooden shed at 29, Palmerstown-street, for Mr. L. Ashley; additions to Culley's Hotel, Barry Dock, for Messrs. R. P. Culley and Co. (re- ferred to the next committee meeting) 77, High- street, Barry; six villas on Barry Island, and a stable at Yere-street, Cadoxton. A lotter was read from Mrs. Clode with regard to the removal of the stable on her ground, and the widening of the road in Robins Lane-road. It was decided to offer to remove the stable, and put up a fence, and give Mrs. Clode k20 for the necessary land. A letter was read by the Clerk from Mr. Morris, on behalf of Mr. Forrest, respecting a road the Board were making near the Church-road, inform- ing them they had no right to do so, and asking them to stop the proceedings. The road was about 20 or 30 feet between Church-road and the road on the Common.—The matter was left. A letter was read from Mr. J. Lewis, Morrel- street, complaining that, owing to the state of the road, his tenants were leaving, and asking to have it remedied. Mr. Thomas drew attention to the drainage of the houses at the back of the Witchill Hotel. The houses were not connected with the sewer and they drained into a field in the occupation of Mr. Hoddinott. The sewer did not run up further than the bottom of Glebe-street. He said there were a lot of complaints about it. Mr. Thomas asked the surveyor whether he kept a record of all houses connected or unconnected. He said that it was advisible that the Board should the example of all large towns. The surveyor said they had knowledge of all houses connected or unconnected. This concluded all the. business of importance.

MR. ALSOP'S WORKMEN'S OUTING & BUSINESS JUBILEE. On Saturday the workmen employed in the wholesale and manufacturing department of the extensive urnivhing and cabinet works in Fairfax- street. Bristol, had their animal outing. The ancient and historic town of Berkeley was the place of destination. Some of the company took an extended trip to Sharpness Docks whilst Berkeley's beautiful church, its Roman remains, the burial {dace of Br. Jenuer. and its quaint inscription by Swift to Lord Suffolk's fool, were sources of attraction — Here lies the Eavl of Suffolk's fool, Men called him Dicky Pearse, His folly served to make fools laugh When wit and mirth were scarce. Poor Dick, alas is dead and gone, What signifies to cry, Dickies enough are left behind To laugh at by and by. In the afternoon Mr. Alsop addressed his men as follows This is my jubilee year. Fifty years ago my revered father apprenticed me to the late Mr. John Willis, of Park-street, the best designer and manufacturer of h'gh-ciass furniture in the West of England. I attribute my great success to that happy circumstances. My reputation as a furnisher and cabinet manufacturer extends from our own country to Africa and Australia. I am highly gratified know that my son takes a deep practical interest in the business, and will use every effort to sustain its reputation, aided by the loyal efforts of you, my workmen. I am deter- mined to give my patrons the economy aud ad- vantages which capital. skill, and long experience can only produce. Cabinet making is a very interesting business, and requires skilful ability and close application, good materials, and well- seasoned timber. By the use of such means I have attained, and mean, with your aid, to retain the unassailable position I am proud to possess. May I ask you to be as faithful to my son in the future as you have been to me in the long past. My chief manager was my apprentice, and one of my earliest apprentices has been with me 44 years. Tht-se are slight indications of the harmony and good feeling that exists in my manufactory.—Cheers were most heartily given for Mr. Alsop and his son. After an enjoyable stay at Berkeley, and a very pleasant journey through Thornbury, the, company reached Broadmead soon after ten having had aJ:nost happy anden jovable day. '«
