MA.[UlIAGE OF THE REV. J. fl. STOWELL, M.A., AND MISS MUREELL, On Wednesday mid-day the wedding of the "Rev. J. H. Stowell, M.A., pastor of the Congre- gational Church, Barry, with Miss Florence Murrell, daughter of Captain Murrell, of St. Osyth's, Barry, took place at Star-street Chapel, Cardiff. For a number of years Captain Murrell's family have been intimately connected with the Star-street Church. Miss Murrell herself had been a, Sunday School teacher there, and the respect and esteem in which the bride's family is held was well evidenced by the large attendance of members to witness the tying of the nuptial knot. On the other hand many of the bride- grooms church members were present from Barry. The sacred edifice had been lavishly decorated with a wealth of flowers, the work of the Sunday School teachers. On the Communion table was a chain composed of arum lillies, white roses, hyacinths, approtoned by maiden-hair fern, and in the centre a rinj, composed of the same kind of flowers. On the pulpit steps were placed stands of palms, lillies. &a.. whilst beside the Bible-rest were vases containing orange blossoms and other suitable Sowers. A chain of ivy and flowering lilac hung right around the galleries, the whole combining to lend a festive air to the sombre old chapel it seldom sees. The weather might be well termed "bride's weather." and if there be any truth in the old-fashioned and homely motto that Happy is the bride the sun shines on," the newly-made Mrs. Stowell will enjoy a very bright and sunny future. At the time fixed for the cere- mony, 1.30, the whole of the building was crowded both upstairs and down, with the invited guests, and those present including Captain and Mrs. Murrell, mother and father of the bride: Mrs. Chapman, grandmother; Captain and Mrs. Hamil- ton Murrell, brother and sister-in-law; Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Chapman, London, uncle; Mrs. Hall, London, aunt; Captain and Mrs. J. E. Murrell, Hartlepool Captain and Mrs. B. B. Murrell, Hartlepool Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Murrell, Alfred Chapman, London Miss Minnie Murrell, Miss Edith Murrell, Hartlepool, cousins; Mr. Frank Murrell and Mostyn Wilfred Murrell, brothers Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Stowell, Hanwell; Rev. A. K. Stowell, Leeds, brother to bridegroom Rev. and Mrs. J. Williamson, Cardiff; Mrs. and the Misses R. Moxey Rev. J. and Mrs. Morris, Rev. Thomas Collins, Bradford Rev. E. Halt. New- port Alderman and Mrs. Meggitt, Miss B. Barter, Mrs. Evans, the Misses A. and E. Evans, Mrs. Litten and Miss Price, Cardiff; Mrs. Sibbering Jones. Mrs. J. C. Pardoe, Mrs. S. A. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Gould, Mrs. E. F. Blackmore, Miss Row- ledge, Miss Wilcox, the Misses Jenkins, Rhoose; Misses Evans, Mrs.' Wensley, Mrs. Rosser, Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Charles Lewis, and many others. As the guests arrived they were ushered into the seats allotted them by Mr. Frank Murrell, Mr. 0. Walker, jun., Mr. H. Morley and Mr. J. A. Stevens. Whilst the guests were assembling Miss Price, the organist, played selections of music. At 1.30 the bride arrived, and walked up the aisle leaning on her father's arm, preceded by her bridesmaids, Miss Adelaide Stowell, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Fanny and Kate Murrell, sisters of the bride. The bride was attired in her travelling dress, made of a soft French material, grey, shaded with gold, and trimmed with passementerie. She wore a hat to match, trimmed with feathers and shaded ribbons. She carried in her hand a mag- nificent bouquet, composed of lillies of the valley, with a single white rose in th centre, the ribbons of the bouquet matching the dress. The brides- maids wore dresses of Vieux rose cloth of foule velvet. The bride's mother wore a becoming dress of violet satin, covered with black lace, with velvet bodice, with bonnet to match. Mrs. Chapman, the brides grandmother, wore a grey figured silk, trimmed with biaek lace, a lace mantle, and a Maltese lace bonnet. Mrs. Hamilton Murrell was tastefully dressed in a fawn coloured drefa of French material, trimmed with heliotrope velvet and possensuenterie, with black hat trimmed with lace. Mrs. Hall's dress was of a French material of a light green tint shaded with mauve. The nuptial knot was tied by the Rev. J. Morrig, pastor at Sfcar-street Chapel, the address was given by the Rev. J. Williunson, and the prayer offered by Rev. Â. K. Stftwell, Leeds. Before the ceremony the first hymn of the leaflets, specially prepared, How welcome was the call," was sung, and at the j conclusion. "0 Love Divine and Golden." Before proceeding to the vestry, Mr. Watson, the superin- tendent of the Star-street Sunday School, presented Mrs. Stowell with a handsome Bible, bound in Morocco, on behalf of the teachers of the Sunday School, at the same time wishing her a happy and prosperous life in the new sphere upon which she had entered. Whilst the wedding party were leaving the Church the organist played Mendelssohn's" Wedding March," Rice and flowers were plentifully besprinkled over the bride and bridegroom as they drove off to Storra-Lee, the residence of Captain Hamilton Murrell, where a rjcherchc wedding breakfast was proyided, Before the bride and bridegroom left for their honeymoon, which will be spent in the Isle of Wight, the bridal party were photographed out on the lawn of Storra-Lee. A list of the wedding presents, isrhicn W? llftB&PSi? and costly; will appear in our next issue. The bridesmaids' dresses, and a considerable por- tion of the wedding trousseau were supplied by Mr. E. Gould, of Barry. The splendid bouquet carried by the bridal party were supplied by Mr. Tressider, and the substantial bride's eake, quite a work of art, was made by Mr. Stevens, Cardiff.
DEATH OF MISS M. E, EDWARDS.
DEATH OF MISS M. E, EDWARDS. The death of Miss Mary Elien Edwards, head- 11 assistant at the Cadoxton Girls' School, and sister- in-law to Mr. J. R. Llewellyn, Radnor Yilla, Cadoxton, took place at her parents' residence. Waunlwyd, Penbryn, Cardiganshire, after about two months' illness, on Saturday morning last. Deceased, who was only 22 years of age, was the youngest daughter of Captain 0. Edwards, and only came to this district about two years ago from the Swansea Training College, where she obtained first place in the final examination. She was particularly fond of her profession, and held a number of certificates in connection therewith, together with those for music. She was also holder of a certificate of the St. John's Ambulance Asso- ciation, being a member of the Ladies' Class con- ducted by Dr. Livingstone, Barry Dock, last year, and was looking anxiously forward to, the con- tinuation of the same class this year. At Zion Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Ponty- pridd-street, she was a most valued member, and, in addition to being a most indefatigable and painstaking teacher at the Sunday School, she also identified herself as conductor of the Band of Hope therefore, by losing Miss Edwards from their midst, a regrettable gap has been made, which it will be exceedingly difficult to fill. She was one of the first members, and also a member of the Barry District Teachers' Association, and was a particular favourite both with the children and members of the teaching staffs at Cadoxton Schools especially, by whom her untimely demise is greatly deplored. Having literary tastes, Miss Edwards was successful in carrying off Sir Morgan Morgan's three-guinea prize for the best historical essay on I- Barry Past and Present" last Whit- Monday at the Cadoxton Eisteddfod, presided over by the Right Hon. Lord Windsor. She was also highly-commended, only three or four months ago by the publishers of The Gentlewoman in connec- tion with the competition on "The Influence of Books and Friends on Character." As evidence of the high esteem and popularity in which the young lady was held by members of the profession in the district, a very handsome and costly floral wreath was sent by the members of the local Teachers' Association to be placed upon the coffin at the funeral, together with a beautiful porcelain wreath of immortelles to be' placed upon the grave. Several other wreaths were likewise despatched by teachers in the Cadoxton district, and Miss M. J. Morgan, assistant at the Holton-road Girls' School (an old personal friend of the deceased), together with her former schoolmaster, were amongst those who attended the funeral which took place on Wednesday last at Penmor a Calvinistic Burial Ground. Cardiganshire, and was very largely attended. We tender our sympathies to the rela- tives, and also to her sister (Mrs. J. R. Llewellyn) in their sad bereavement.
AROUND PENARTH.
AROUND PENARTH. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF A PENARTH GIRL On Thursday, at half-past eleven, a girl named Mary Williams, daughter of Mr. Williams, brick- layer, had a narrow escape from being burnt to death. The girl was in the employ of Mr. John Thomas, hay merchant, of 24, Salop-street, Penarth. It appears that Mrs. Thomas had been recently confined, and the servant was nursing the baby by the fireside in the bedroom, when her clothes took fire. She immediately put the baby on the bed and rushed out into the street. By that time her clothes were all ablaze. Fortunately Mr. Fisher, hay and. corn merchant, was passing at the time, and, seeing the girl in flames, took of his coat and wrapped it around her, thus succeeding in extinguishing the flames. But for this timely aid the unfortunate girl would certainly have been burnt to death. Police-constable Rees was on the spot almost immediately. He went into the bed- room, and there found the mantle-piece on fire. He succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and then took charge of the injured girl, his training as a member of the St. John Ambulance Associa- tion proving exceedingly useful. SUDDEN DEATH OF A LANDLORD. On Wednesday last a sad accident, resulting in the death of Mr. Holloway, of the Maidenhead Hotel, Hereford, occurred outside the shop of Messrs. Nurton. Windsor-road. Penarth.. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Hollowayhad only that morning arrived at Penarth, and engaged apartments with Mrs. Avery, (f Bradenham-road, intending to stay a few days. After taking lunch they went out, intending to go to Messrs. Nurton's shop, but when just outside the door Mr. Holloway. who was sub- ject to epileptic fits, suddenly fell backwards, his head coming in contact with the pavement, causing serious injury to his skull. He was taken up in an insensible condition, and carried into the shop, Dr. Rees being called in. Before his re- moval to his lodgings the sufferer regained con- sciousness, but he gradually sunk and died at twelve o'clock. At the inquest held on Saturday morning at the Penarth Police Station (before Mr. E. B. Reece, coroner), Elizabeth Holloway, wife of deceased, stated that deceased was landlord of the Maiden- head Hotel. Witness and deceased arrived at Penarth on Wednesday last on a visit, and took lodgings at No. 4. Bradenham-place. About three o'clock witness stated that deceased and herself were standing by a shop. when suddedly she heard a fall, and, turning, saw her husband lying on his back on the pavement, quite unconscious. He was taken into the shop, and as early as possible Dr. Rees was in attendance, and ordered the removal of the sufferer to his lodgings. He died on Thursday morning about 12 o'clock. The Coroner (to witness): Did you notice any orange peel on the pavement ? Witness No, I did not see anything. My husband appeared just before to be in good health. Albert J. Nurton, fishmonger, stated that whilst Mrs. Holloway was about to purchase some fish he saw Mr. Holloway fall on to the pavement. Whan picked up deceased was bleeding at the ear. De- ceased, however, regained consciousness, and walked a little distance. Dr. Rees deposed to having seen deceased about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. He found him lying on the floor in a fit of epilepsy, and he had bitten his tongue. He had him removed to his lodgings. When he examined deceased he found blood flowing freely from the right ear. The skull wAs fractured, and the left side paralysed. Deceased had recovered consciousness only for a short time. He died from ooncussion of the brain, caused by the fall, having fallen in a fit. The jury, of whom Mr. B. S. Clarke was foreman, gave a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. LOCAL BOARD. The annual meeting of the Penarth Local Board was held on Monday evening, Mr. G. Pile presiding. Mr. D. Morgan (a late chairman) and Mr. T. Bevan (the senior member who has not filled that position) were nominated for the chairmanship for the ensuing year, and the latter was elected by the casting vote of the chairman only. The various committees were appointed. It was decided to pur- chase a steam roller for £31;). It was reported that inasmuch as the Local Government Board W not sanctioned certain proposed work, no spadal employment could be provided for men out of employment during the past winter. Several members alleged there were genuine cases of want in thsir asidst. TRADE STILL QUIET. At Penarth things continue quiet, so much to that on Friday thore were but six vessels in dock, two of which only were being loaded. A more depressed state of thing has not existed at Penarth, our representative Tyas itinned, ever since the opening of the dook. Ii> KILLED BY FALLING FROM A LADDER. Mr, E. B. Reece, district coroner, conducted inquiries a.t the Ponartli, Folio#-(joufti oil Monday into the death of Frederick Harris, 52, a seaman on board the s.s. Eastwood, lying at Penarth Dock, who fell into the basin whilst descending a ladder to get on board on Saturday night.—John Lawes deposed that deceased and himself re- turned to the vessel, having been on shore, about 11 o'clock on the night named. To get on board they had to descend by mears of a ladder. They were both on the ladder at the same time, deceased leading the way. He heard a splash, and, looking round, he found that his companion bad fallen. He at once rushed on deck and, having fastened himself to a rope, got into the water, and the mate handed him a hook, which he made fast to the unfortunate man's clothing, and he was hauled on deck, but died on Sunday morning. —William Greaves, sailor, said he assisted to get deceased on board. In his opinion, deceased must have struck his head either against the dock wall or the vessel.—A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

UP TO DATE.
UP TO DATE. [BY PETER.] The Public Library Question in the Barry and Cadoxton district is gradually growing larger, and I am pleased to find that there is a talk of enlarg- ing the Lending Department. I find that as the judges have decided that free libraries are not exempt from taxation, her Majesty's Governnment are to be invited to consider the desirability of re- lieving such institutions from rates and taxes. Of course at present this question does not materially affect Barry, but the day may come when it will have to be considered. -0- I notice that the Postmaster General is about to make some alterations in the system now in force respecting the Saving Bank with the Post- office. The Bill which he has introduced is to apply to Trustees' Savings Banks as well as to the Post Office Savings Bank. It proposes, first, to raise the amount of money, as distinguished from stock, which a person may deposit in the course of one year from 430 to 100 and, secondly, to increase the Government st)ok which a depositor may purchase in a year from £ 100 to £200, and in the aggregate from £300 to £500. Provision is also made for the automatic investment in Govern- ment stock of all accumulations by way of interest or dividend after the depositor's account has reached £200. The measure is backed by Mr. Gladstone. Sir William Harcourt, and Mr. Arnold Morley. —o— The railway rates question continues to be a thorn in the side of many, and as the Select Com- mittee on Railway Rates will probable not report for some time, and in view of the fact also that the railway companies continue to charge increased rates in a large number of cases, Sir James Whitehead, M.P., has introduced a Bill to pro- vide for restricting the companies to the rates existing prior to 31st January last. Immediately after the second reading of the Home Rule Bill Sir James will ask the Government for special focilities to advance this measure. The Bill is backed by the representaves of almost every section of the House. The justification pleaded for the temporary Bill which Sir Jame Whitehead introduces is that the companies are apparently determined to set Parliament at definance by ex- acting rates in excess of those charged last year. The repoit of the Labour Commission is anxiously awaited by those interested in the welfare of the working classes, and I find that the Labour Commissioners, when the task of collecting and classifying the evidence and statistics has been completed-probably in June-will assemble and arrange the order in which they will report upon the series of topics they are expected to deal with. Sir John Gorst and several of his colleagues desire to give precedence to the question of the establishment of councils of arbitration and con- ciliation in labour disputes. -0- How very valuable appear to be the decorations sent out by the authorities to the Volunteer officers. So much so that they were actually for- warded by parcel post. -0- The Glamorgan County Council are very Pro- gressive just now, and in addition to endeavouring to facilitate business at assizes and quarter sessions, as far as medical witnesses are concerned, they have passed the following sweeping resolution :— That this council rejoices at the action of the President of the Local Government Board in reducing the property qualification of Guardians to 45 at the same time this Council considers that the property qualification should be none away with for all Boards, and the ballot adopted universally also, that the ex-ojficio element be abolished, so that no one may be permitted to occupy a seat on any Board whatever who has not been returned by the popular will of the people, and that a memorial embodying this be forwarded, under the seal of this Council to the Right Hon. H. H. Fowler, M.P.

Person hynod iawn oedd Twm, a dyma un o'r cymeriadau mwyaf athrylithgar (medd Idriswyn) a fagodd Cymru erioed, ac y mae'n drueni fod cyn lleied o son am dano genym ond y mae'n dda genyf ddeall fod ein cefndyr yn yr America yn dechreu ymysgwyd yn ei gylch. Y mac y bardd awenyddol ac adnabyddus J.

Yn y rhifyn diweddaf o'r newydd- iadur hwnw y mae y Parch. G. Griffiths, New Cambria, Mo., yn attegu yr apeliad hwnw trwy ysgrifenu :— "Nid wyf feirdd-addolvvr mwy na saint-addolwr ofer- goelus, eto carwn o'm calon weled mudiad o'r fath a grybwyllwch yn cael ei gychwyn i gasglu pobpeth o werth a dyddordeb yn meddiant rhyw un a phob un- mewn unrhyw a phob man, bydded ddarlun neu hanesyn, a dderbyniwyd trwy draddodiad, sydd ganddynt ar glawr neu ysgrifen, neu argraff, am y dyn rhyfedd hwn, a ddringodd i fyny trwy anhawsderau o lwybrau dinodedd y thlodi, nes y daeth i fod yn Fab y Daran i ragrithwyr a gormeswyr—dyn yr arswydid ei arabedd a'i watwareg bigoglym gan feistriaid trais arglwyddiaethol ac offeiriaidanfucheddol, fel pe buasai Taliesin Benbardd wedi cyfodi oddiwrth y meirw, ac yn llefaru trwyddomegysun ag awdurdod ganddo-ni phetrusai roddi gwialen ar gefn ynfyd clerigaidd mwy Ra. lleyg, cyfoethog mwy na thlawd."

Gwaeddai,—"Mam! yr wye y n marw, Brathwyd fi yn arw, arw, Gan ryw sarff hededog felen, Ac ei henw yw Gwenynen." Ebai Gwener.—" Os Gwenynen A'th bigodd di mor drwm, fy machgen, Pa faint mwy y s.iefc'iau llymion A blenaist ti yn llawer calon." TEGID.

[ODe, I THE BISHOP UF BA 0- j Spealdnr/ recently at his n iti:'e place, said that among the many eminent ■notabilities who had been born fi j{ in that iocaUtu, ought to be mentioned the author of -'LEWIS' RHEUMATIC ESSENCE," the well- jt {( known remedy for Rheumatism, Goutj Sciatica and Lumbago. jj l{ N.B. OUR NATION is now convinced that external applications are unelest, as it is impossible for U 1} such to strike at the root of the evil, and "LEWIS' RHEUMATIC ESSENCE" is declared to be the (y U only reliable remedy yet, discovered. It is impossible to convince everybody through an advertUement; lj t( bui a\fair trial will be sufficent to convince, even in the worst, possible old standing eates.
