AFTER THE BATTLE.
AFTER THE BATTLE. When the hurlyburly's done, When the battle's lost and won. THE election of members to the vacant seats on the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board is -over, and the gentlemen elected are now safe for three years. The fight in the East and South Ward was severe, and each of the candi- dates worked with great zeal and enthusiasm. In the other wards the opposing parties appear to have worked more quietly, and this will, perhaps, account for the apathy which the rate- payers displayed. There will be two new faces on the Local Board, and Mr. F. P. Jones-Lloyd will take the place of Mr. J. Jewel Williams. From what we have been able to gather the contest between these two gentlemen has been some- what keen, and we are informed that their canvassing began many weeks before the election. No doubt Mr. Jones-Lloyd secured many votes by the action which he took with regard to dividing the district into wards, and especially in obtaining direct representative for Barry Dock. In the South Ward the two candidates were far removed from one Another, but we do not agree with the suggestion that has been made that the fight was between capital and labour. We think it was nothing of the sort, and even had it been so, under the present circumstances we do not think the result would have been different had the same candidates been in the field. We believe that many working men gave Mr. George Thomas their support because of the fact that Mr. Harrison was his opponent, and, undoubtedly, the record of public service which Mr. Thomas was able to place before the electors was sufficient to counteract any opposi- tion current. The West Ward was fought on entirely -different lines, and here the working men determined to run their own candidate. It fact it was plainly put forward at the ratepayers' meeting that, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Griffin there received a majority, it was the intention of the Labour Party to run Mr. Patterson. Undoubtedly, Mr. Griffin is a good man, and would have represented the Ward well, still the working classes had made up their minds that they would have their own man, and they have now shown their strength. The result of the election in the East Ward came as a surprise to many, and especially as it is a well-known fact that Mr. Brock has resided in the Old Tillage all his life. True, he had to fight against two gentlemen who had already served on the Local Board, -and- who could command votes, but we are in- formed that Mr. Brock attributes his defeat entirely to the split in his camp. He chose the East Ward through its being his native place, but we think he would have stood a better chance had he soaght honour elsewhere. Mr. Lewis is well-known in the district, and was a very strong opponent. We can only congratulate the ratepayers upon the choice they have made, and we hope now that the working classes will feel even more confident that their interests are being well looked after, and that they have a direct representative of Labour upon the Board. In conclusion, we can only hope -that in the near future not only will the election be by ballot, but that canvassing will be made an offence. There is freedom in almost everything, and let there be freedom in exercising the franchise. IN THE FUTURE. ONE of the matters which the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board will be called upon to consider at its annual meeting on Tuesday next is the election of a member to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. John Cory. From information to hand, we think it probable that Mr. J. Robinson, who has left the district, will shortly resign his seat on the Local Board, thus leaving two vacancies to be filled up. Both of the gentlemen thus retiring may be said, to a certain extent, to have represented the Barry Company, and we hope that the Board, in electing their successors, will see that one, at any rate, of the vacanciss is filled by someone who can represent the Company. The Barry Company are the largest ratepayers in the town, and their prosperity and the prosperity of the town are coincident. We feel sure that public opinion would be strongly in favour of a nominee of theirs having one at least of the vacant seats. The probable acquisition of the Gas and Water undertakings render it very desirable that the members to be elected should be thoroughly business men. The business of the Local Board is now a very big one, and unless it is conducted on thoroughly good busi- z, ness lines we shall have very high rates. So far the Local Board has deservedly had a good reputation for energy and prudence. It is a matter of vital importance to the town of Barry that this reputation is maintained in the future. ->
LOCAL NOTES.
LOCAL NOTES. PORT SANITARY AUTHORITY. The Local Government Board enquiry held last Tuesday was a step forward for Barry. The probable result will be the appointment of the Barry Local Board as Port Sanitary Authority between Sully Island and the western side of Aberthaw. This will mean that Barry will receive contributions from the adjoining authorities towards the expense of carrying out Port Sanitary duties, such as the guarding against cholera, &c. It will also mean that the prestige and importance of the Barry district ,will be materially increased. A LOCAL SUCCESS. We are pleased to record the fact that Mr. T. 0. Edwards, son of Alderman W. R. Edwards, .-Carmarthen, and brother of Dr. Lloyd Edwards, ,of Holton-road, Barry Dock, passed first on the list at the recent Civil Service Competitive Examination for Factory Inspectors. Mr. Edwards will be the junior inspector for South Wales and Monmouthshire, and, although his head-quarters will be situate at Cardiff, we understand that he will reside in the Barry district. We congratulate Mr. Edwards upon his success, and hope that he will be long- spared to faithfully fulfil the position he has secured. ABOUT OURSELVES. We feel it our duty to congratulate ourselves upon the fact that we were the only paper in the locality who published an account of the Local Board Election and result on Saturday last. Within one minute of the de- claration of the poll the Star was on sale in Vere-street with the full details. We have always endeavoured to supply our readers with the latest information, and are prepared to continue to do so at any expense. "THE BARRY DOCK STAR." In consequence of the increasing popularity of our paper in the Barry, Barry Dock, and Cadoxton districts, we have determined to issue an edition, under the name of the Barry Dock Star to our readers in those localities. It will contain the latest possible intelligence of local interest, and will be con- ducted with energy. We can safely claim that it will be the smartest weekly paper in the district. THE VACANT RATE COLLECTOR. On Tuesday next the Local Board will be called upon to select a rate collector for this district. Four of the five candidates are local men. Mr. Lewis has been connected with the Local Board work for some time. Mr. Willett, as our readers are aware, has been engaged in connection with the Star, and has had varied and wide experience as a collector. Mr. Smith-Jones is well-known in the district, and in connection with the Chamber of Trade while Mr. Miekle has had considerable ex- perience in the capacity of clerk in a local establishment. We trust that the members of the Local Board will put in an appearance in strong force and secure whom they consider the better man.

BARRY DOCK WORKING MEN'S LIBERAL…
BARRY DOCK WORKING MEN'S LIBERAL CLUB. VOTE OF CENSURE RESCINDED. On Wednesday night a public meeting was held in the above Club at Thompson-street, Barry Dock. Dr.Kelly, who presided, said he hoped that the Club and Institute would receive the support of every Liberal and Radical in the district. He hoped the proceedings of the Institute would be conducted on strictly respectable lines, founded and governed by working men, and furnish means of support for members and their relatives in the form of a sick and funeral fund. He regretted that at the first meeting of the members of the Institute a vote of censure was passed upon the Liberal member for the division (Mr. A. J. Wil- liams) for the hon. gentleman's absence on that occasion in fact, those who proposed and seconded the vr te of censure were not members of the Insti- tute. It was no doubt due to the disappointment that was felt. It would do no good to persist in that vote. Mr. Heulin (secretary) having read a statement of affairs, Mr. S. Lewis moved that the vote of censure be rescinded. Mr. H. Walls seconded. Mr. J. Sweet and Mr. E. J. D. Irish expressed regret that the vote of censure had been passed. Upon being put to the meeting the motion to rescind the vote of censure was carried unan- mously.
PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Mr. Roberts occupied the chair, and there were present Dr. O'Donnell, Dr. Lloyd Edwards, Mr. J. A. Hughes, and Mr. Blackmore (librarian.) PROGRESS. It was reported that there wer 348 borrowers' tickets now issued, ahd Lhat during the past three weeks 491 volumns had bee issued. The Librarian reported that he had received the invoice for £ 61 worth of books. It was decided to procure a standard work on plastering if the funds will allow. NEW PREMISES. The question arose as to the desirability of securing larger premises at Holton in conse- quence of the inereased number of borrowers of books, nothing definite was decided, as it was the last meeting of the committee, but hopes were ex- pressed that something would be done. It was also suggested that the Lending Library should be opened every night. TENDERS FOR COAL. It was decided to advertise for tenders for the supply of coal. RECORD OF ATTENDANCES. The following is the list of the attendances of members during the past year, the possible number being 13 :— D. Roberts 13 J. Robinson 7 P. J. O'Donnell 9 J. C. Meggitt. 4 W. Thomas 10 >V. LI.

Stphens (official receiver). Debtor's state- ment of affairs showed gross liabilfcies £ 252 Os. 7d., of which Cl65 16s. lOd. is expected to rank; assets. £ 100 16s. 10d.. and deficiency £65. The receiving order was made on the 16th of March, and debtor alleges that his cause of failure are bad debts, sickness by infectious diseases, aud con- sequent loss of trade. The following are the Official Receiver's observations :—" The bankrupt has no offer to make to his creditors. He informs me that he commenced business at Barry Dock in March, 1891, without capital, and traded there down to 9th December last, when he executed a bill of sale over all his effects to his largest creditor for a past debt, and that the holder immediately took possession and removed the property, in con- sequence of which the bankrupt had to discontinue trading. He also states that about six months ago he transferred to the same creditor a horse, trap, and harness, value £ 55, which were credited to his account. The bankrupt formerly carried on business at Broughty Ferry, where he failed about 1887. No books of account were kept, and the bankrupt cannot show what the result of his trading has been. The figures in the statement of affairs are unreliable, and the assets are greatly over-valued."—No resolution was passed, and the Official Receiver remains trustee. THE VACANT COLLECTORSHIP.—AN EXCITING FINISH. On Friday at a. special meeting of the Finance Committee of the Local Board, under the presidency of-General Lee, J.P., at Cadoxton, Dr. Treharne, Mr. J. Jewel Williams, and Mr. J. A. Hughes (clerk), 1. being also present. The following were selected for recommendation to the monthly meeting of I Board for the appointment of rate collector :— Mr. T. W. Lewis, assistant collector, Barry Local Board Mr. L. M. Edwards, Mountain Ash Mr. E. B. Smith-Jones, Holton-ioad, Barry Dock; Mr. J. Meikle, Vere-street, Cadoxton and Mr.- G. Willett, Charlotte-street, Cadoxton. There were 69 appli- cations received. The salary is fixed at £125 per annum, with £ 50 for assistance. ANNUAL MEETINGS OF WELSH BAPTISTS AT CADOXTON. On Saturday evening and also throughout Sun- day and Monday afternoon and evening last the annual meetings in connection with the Welsh Baptists were held at Seitsn Calvinistic Methodist, Chapel, which had been kindly lent for the occa- sion. The Revs. Charles Da vies, Tabernacle, Cardiff; John Lewis, Merthyr and T. V. Evans. Clydach, near Swansea; were the officiating ministers. The Revs W. Williams (C.M.), — Thomas, Blaenavon, and J. Lee Davies, of Ponty- pool College, also took part at the meetings. The Revs. G. Llechidon Williams, and W. Tibbott were also present during the meetings. The Rev. Morris Isaac (the pastor) conducted the meetings throughout, and Messrs. R. S. Thomas and T. Walters respectively the singing. There were large and appreciative audiences present at all the meetings. The sermons were most powerful, and it is to be hoped that the good seed already sown will ere long bring forth good fruit. The collec- tions, indeed, were exceedingly gratifying. Great praise is due to the Calvinistic Methodists for their kindness in placing their chapel at the disposal of the above. TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF SEAMEN FRQM BARRY. There has been great consternation at Bairy during the past week in consequence of the receipt of the news that the barque King Jam^had been blown up. It will be remembered slhat some twelve months ago this vessel left Barry, and we are informed that one of the hands on board, Mr. J. Spivey, who has survived, during the stay of the ship here resided with a local gentleman. The details of the disaster and suffering of the crew are given as follows :—A steamer has arrived at San Francisco with the captain and three men of the barque King James, which was burned at sea 200 miles west of that port. They are the only survivors of the seventeen men who embarked in one of the boats when the King James blew up, The boat capsized after leaving the barque, and four men were drowned, while the remainder, including the captain's son, perished from exhaus- tion. As already reported, half of the crew, under the command of the mate, reached the coast in safety. The captain, in the course of an interview, has given the following narrative of the terrible experiences passed through by himself and his companions The lifeboat capsized on the 31st ult., the day after the explosion on board the burning ship, and four of her occupants were d owned. The rest of us succeeded in rafsing ourselves on the keel, and we clung, there for six hours, the seas for a long time sweeping over us almost continually. We prayed and prayed for help, and, although no vessel was sighted, the weather gradually moderated, and we were at length able to right the boat. The sea, however, was still running so high that for fourteen hours more we were up to our waists in water, but we finally succeeded in bailintr the boat out. We had, how- ever, lost all our provisions as well as our oars and rudder. Rough suustitutes for the latter were constructed from the covering of the air-tank, and some progress was made. On the second day after rightiilg the boat one of the men died, on the third day two more succumbed, and on the fourth day three, one of whom was my son. Some of those still alive were like maniacs, crying out continually for food and water, and those of us who still retained oar senses exhausted ourselves in trying to hold them down, Each of those who succumbed became quite incoherent some time before the end, and alternately cursed and prayed. The rest of us were afraid to sleep lest the others in their insanity should cut our throats. As they died they were thrown overboard. We ourselves were on the verge of perishing when we were sighted and rescued. A LOCAL BUTCHER IN DIFFICULTIES. The first meeting of the creditors of George I Henry Burnett, of Barry-road, Cadoxton-Barry. and of 73, High-street, Barry, and Thompson- street, Barry Dock, butcher and cattle dealer, was held at the offiee of Mr. T. H. Stephens, the official receiver, on Monday. The gross liabilities are J6783 Is. 9d., of which £ 526 13s. 8d. is expected to rank, and the assets zC28 ms. 9d., leaving a de- ficiency of JS497 17a. lid. The debtor alleges the causes of his failure to be bad trade and bad debts. The Official Receiver remarked that the debtor stated he filed his position owing to a request from the bank to reduce his overdraft there, and on looking into his affairs he found himself insolvent. He had commenced business in 1886 with a capital of £ 20. He had not kept a cash book, and. never ascertained his position. The debtor had no offer to make, and was adjudicated bankrupt, the Official Receiver remaining trustee. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH, BARRY DOCK. On Sunday evening, as the Rev. Mr. Usher was commencing to deliver his sermon, when, in lowering the gas, one of the sidesmen, after several ineffective attempts to lower it sufficiently, turned it out. One voice exclaimed that Disestab- lishment had come, but the rev. gentleman was not at all discomposed by the occurrence, and went on with his sermon. Some little amusement was caused by the ghostly effect of several gentlemen running about in their white surplices, endeavour- ing to discover the cause of the contretemps. No actual disorder, however, occurred, and, the gas being soon lighted, the service proceeded in the usual manner. SCHOOL BOARD AUDIT. The audit of the School Board accounts was completed on Wednesday, April 5, the work of auditing having been adjourned from March 29, on account of the amount of work which the auditor was unable to complete the first day. The audit, which wa-s held at the Union Workhouse, Cardiff, was attended by the School Board Clerk and Deputy-clerk (Mr. W. H. Lewis and Mr. Treharne Rees). The auditor (Mr. H. Brett, having gone through the books and found every- I thing correct, expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which they had been kept. VISIT TO BARRY ISLAND BY LADY WINDSOR. On Wednesday a special train conveyed Lady Windsor and her children to Barry Dock, from l whence they paid a visit to the sandy beach and other parts of Barry Island, and held a picnic. The weather was very fine, and the parly enjoyed their visit immensely. THE FEDERATED CHAMBERS OF TRADE VISIT TO BARRY. On Tuesday evening a meeting of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce was held at Harry's Restaurant, under the presidency of Mr. D. T. Alexander, the president. Delegates were ap- pointed to confer with the Federated Chambers at Merthyr on Thursday on the matter. VESTRY MEETING AT BARRY. The Easter vestry meeting of the parishioners of Barry was held on Monday evening. Canon Allen presided, and amongst those present were Rev; Du Heaame (urate), Capt. Whall, Mr. E. S. Johnson, Mr. W. Miller, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Williams, Mr. Horton, Mr. Richard Robinson, Mr. Waddell, Mr. Money, Mr. John Johnson, Air. Small. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Hawkings, Capt. Adams, &e.—The Chairman submitted the accounts for the past year, which showed a balaance in hand of 18s. Id. It was suggested by Mr. E. S. Johnson that in view of the large amount of work which rested upon the rector, the church- wardens should lighten them a little by keeping the accounts for him. The chairman also said he should be delighted with any assistance the churchwardens might afford him.-The record of a good year's work was then recounted. During the year a new lectern had been placed in the church, the body of the floor had been covered with pitchpine wood. new lamps had been erected outside the church for the better lighting of paths, the new parish hall has been built and opened, and the Sunday School under the vigorous management of the superintendent, Mr. E. S. Johnson, has continued to increase and prosper, together with the young men and young women's Bible classes. The con- versaziones and entertainments held have also been very successful. The Rector nominated Captain Wltall as rector's warden, and Mr. Small was appointed people's warden. The following sides- men were appointed:—Messrs. Horton, Evans, Lewis, E. Makepeace, Money, H. C. Griffin, Wil- liams and Davies. Mr. E. S. Johnson urged the necessity of better attendances on the part of the choir. He suggested that boys should be properly trained to take part in the musical portion of the service. The suggestion was received with favour, but no definite decision was come to on the matter. -—Votes of thanks were unanimously accorded to the Rector, churchwardens, organist, choir, super- intendent and teachers of the Sunday school for their services during the year. A FAMILY ROW AT BARRY DOCK, At Penarth Police-court on Monday—before Major Thornley — Rebecca Bailey, a married woman, made her appearance and applied for summons against her daughter, whose maiden name was Mary Bailey, for assault. The appli- cant told a startling tale. She was going to Holton, she said, on Saturday night when she met Mary Bailey, who at once set about abusing her. She struck and pulled her about, tore her shawl, and knocked her to pieces. Continuing her state- ment, Mrs. Bailey said. "Mary Bailey is my daughter properly," and then whispered something inaudibly to the police-constable standing by.- The Magistrates granted the summons. TICKETS, PLEASE! Arrangements have been arrived at between the Barry and Taff Railway Companies, whereby any passenger can book through from Cadoxton on the Taff without being put to the unnecessary inconve- nience of either breaking their journey at Penarth Dock or Cardiff to purchase fresh tickets to travel to and from either of the valleys. This arrange- ment between the companies will be the means of removing a considerable amount of inconvenience. The arrangement crme into operation on Wednes- day. TEA AND ENTERTAINMENT AT THE WEiSH WESLEYAN CHAPEL. A tea and entertainment was held in connection with the Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, Holton, on Wednesday last. An excellent tea was given, the following ladies presiding at the tables :—Mrs. Williams, Mrs. and Miss Bennett, Miss Morgans, Mi's.

SOCIAL EVENING OF THE BARRY CHURCH BIBLE CLASSES. A social gathering was held at the Barry Parish- hall on Saturday, April 8th. in connection with the United Bible Classes of the Parish Church, presided over by Captain Whall. It was opened by the Rev. Canon Allen at seven o'clock, and suitable addresses were given by Captain Whall and Mrs. R. Robinson.

The Congregational Magazine says :-The great event of the past month has undoubtedly been our Sunday School Examination. Sixty children were more busily attentive to their lessons last Sunday afternoon than probably they have ever been before. Provided with pencil and paper and a printed set of questions, they were positively enthusiastic in their endeavours to understand the questions and write down the answers correctly. The subjects were those that have been taken on the Sunday afternoons since January, from the International Series, and the first two pages from the Catechism. The following is a copy of the questions I.-What do you know of the return of the Jews from Babylon to Jerusalem. 2.—Name some Prophet who encouraged tke people in re-building the temple. 3.-Give as many of the golden lextsas you can. 4.-Tell what you know of Nehemiah and his work. 5.—How did Nehemiah get the people to keep the Sabbath? 6.—What do you know about Esther ? 7.-What did Isaiah say about idols ? 8.-What do you come to Sunday School to learn ? !).- What is it to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ I 10.—What is salvation ? Five marks were allotted to each of these ten questions, so that the highest number attainable in the examination was 50. And it is a. pleasure therefore, to be able to single out Archie H. Lewis as clearly standing at the top of the list. His answers were all highly satisfactory. The following is a complete list of the marks ob- cained Archie H.

PENMARK ITEMS.
PENMARK ITEMS. » THE EASTER VESTRY was held on Thursday evening, April 6th, in the Schoolroom, the Vicar (the Rev. E. Morgan) pre- siding. Mr. O. H. Jones, J.P., was nominated vicar's warden, and Mr. J. Alexander was re-elected people's warden. Mr. T. Harbottle and Mr. J. Savours were elected sidesmen.

Jones from the Continent a meeting of the parishioners would be called to consider the plans, and he hoped the first portion of the work, viz., the re-seating, would be immediately proceeded with. The total cost of the whole work proposed would be about £ 650.
