[24 KNOCKED DOWN BY A HORSE AND CART. On Friday afternoon Nellie Donoghue, aged four, whose parents reside at 381, Cowbridge-road, Cardiff, was knocked down and run over by a horse and cart belonging to John Gregory, of 16, Greenwood-street, Barry Dock.

An inquest was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Town-hall, Cardiff (before Mr. E. B. Reece, district coroner), on the body of the little girl, who died in the infirmary.

The pastor of the Barry Congregational Church (the Rev. J. H. Stowell, M.A.), who has filled the position since 1890. has received a call from the Congregational Church at Lightcliffe, near Halt- fax. The call was placed by Mr. Stowell in the hands of his deacons, and, as a result, a special church meeting was held to consider the matter, at which a resolution was passed congratulating the I til- rev. gentlemen on the enlarged sphere of useful- ness opened up to him by his marriage, and, whilst feeling deeply sensible of the honour the Light- cliffe Church had rendered him by their invitation, they trusted he would continue with the Barry Church to carry on the good work he had begun there for many years to come. A TRIP TO IRELAND." A lecture was given by Dr. Kelly at the Catholic Schools, Holton, on Tuesday night, to a crowded audience.

Cadoxton, who has made a first-class reputation for himself in South Wales, as an artist of more than ordinary merit, has just completed another picture, which cannot but enhance his reputation. The picture which measures 52in. by 49in., portrays Lower Porthkerry Farmhouse, near Barry, which Mr. Fairbairn has masterly represented wearing an autumnal aspect, nature is arrayed in a, bright garb the garden and the hedgerows around being well contrasted by the surrounding scenery. In the garden two females stand, one of whom, with hand upraised, is con- trolling the movements of a frolicsome dog. On the main road a horse and its rider are depicted the proportions of the horse showing that the artist must have made a careful and minute study of it. In facb not a single flaw can be found in the whole canvas, the exactness of detail, even down to the garden produce, showing the most minute attention, the whole resulting in a picture of which Mr. Fairbairn and his fellow townmen may well be proud. We congratulate Mr. Fairbairn upon his production, and venture to predict that at some not very distant date he will attain more thffn a local fame, as some of Mr. Fairbairn's pictures have been very favourably mentioned by the leading art magazines. Mr. E. Williams, Victoria Hctel, Barry Dock, the owner of the farm, has secured, the canvas, and it may be seen on j application being made to him. THEFT OF BOOTS AT CiD XTOX.

THE RECENT IIITCII AT THE BARRY PARISH CHURCH. On Saturday evening a meeting of part of the sidesmen and churchwardens was held at the Parish Church room, under the presidency of the rector, the Rev. Canon Allen, with reference to the above affair. There were also present-the Rev. H. Du Heaume (curate), Captain Whall, Mr. Williams (late people's churchwarden), Mr. Money, &c. The whole of the circumstances in connection with the recent contratnnp.s- at the Parish Church were discussed at length, argu- ments pro. and eon-, being gone into. Eventually an amicable arrangement was effected in the best interests of the Church, an understanding being arrived at that the Rev. H. Du Heaume should take no steps to remove the wrongful im- pression which might be created by recent unfair representations which had been supplied the local papers reflecting upon himself, it being felt that such a course would be more conducive to internal harmony in Church work. We understand that Captain Whall's resignation as rector's churchwarden and choirmaster has been accepted by the rector, the Rev. Canon Allen, and it is understood that Mr. Vaughan, the organist, will, for the time being fill that position together with that of organist, and the Rev. H. Du Heaume will act as choirmaster,

j THE CADOXTON ASSAULT AND HIGHWAY KOBBERY CASE. THE RUFFIAN GETS A MONTH. At Barry Dock Police-court oa Thursday John Moss, fireman, was charged with assaulting Mary Southern, of 26, Hunter-street, on the 15th inst., at Jenner-street, Cadoxton.—Mr. A. Jackson defended. Prosecutrix said she was the wife of Richar Southern, and on the 15th inst. she saw defendant at the Wenvoe Hotel about quarter to four. HE ASKED FOR A DRINK, and she replied that she had no money. She went out aId went down the street. Defendant fol- lowed her, and when she got by the butcher's he again asked for a drink, and she again replied that she had no money. She had two sixpences in her hand and defendant struck her on the waist, and grabbed one of the sixpences, and the other dropped down. He told her to pick it up, she refused, and he hit her in the ribs very violently She fell down and fainted off. Questioned by Mr. Jackson, prosecutor denied that defendant had been to her house, nor had he given her sixpence. Henry Lakin. butcher, of Vere-street, said that on the 15th inst., at four o'clock, he saw the woman dodging around a dray standing by his shop, and defendant after her asking for the sixpence. THE WOMAN WAS NOT SOBER at the time, and she replied that the sixpence was oil the ground. Defendant struck her a blow on the chest, and she fainted off. Mr. Brown saw more of it than he did. The case of robbery with violence was then dis- missed, and a charge of assault substituted. Defendant pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, with hard labour. -u-

LIVELY TEMPERANCE MEETING AT PENARfH. +. ALLEGED ASSAULT BY THE CHAIRMAN. AN APOLOGY TO BE DEMANDED. A temperance demonstration at Penarth on Wednesday night was of an unusually lively character. A procession, almost wholly com- posed of children, marched through the town, and afterwards a meeting was held in Andrew's Large-hall in support of the Government and Welsh Local Veto Bills. In support- in a resolution in favour of Local Veto, the Rev. Morris Morgan, of Swansea, made aspersions on licensed victualling, which repre- sentatives of trade who were present resented. Mr. Morgan invited anyone to step up and dis- prove his statements, and Mr. Taliesin Morgan, district agent of the National Trade Defence Fund, asked the chairman (County Councillor Shepherd) for permission to do so. The chairman at first refused, but was induced by Mr. M< rris Morgan to give way. and the agent of the Trade Defence Fund ascended the platform and tempe rately and courteously proceeded to rebut the charges made by the rev. gentleman from Swan- sea. He had not said many words before the chairman interfered, and said that was not a public meeting. All this was taking place amid much noise and interruption, Mr. Taliesin Moreran evidently being well supported in a room packed with people. Mr. Morgan, who is a voter in the district, said he had no desire to propose an amendment. He simply wished to reply to some of the statements of the previous speaker. Amid further disturbance the Chairman called called upon Mr. Taliesin Morgan to leave the plat- form. Mr. Morgan said he wanted to be allowed to address the meeting, and was endeavouring to make himself heard when the Chairman appeared to make trtvo deliberate attempts to push him off the platform. A greater uproar than ever then ensued, cries of Shame," Chuck him out," cheers, and hisses being heard from all parts of the hall. When order was once more restored Mr. Taliesin Morgan said when he came there he was under the impression that the meeting was a public one, but after the explanation of the secretary he would retire. Mr. Morgan then retired, amid cheers and hoots. Afterwards, when it was pro posed that a petition, which was represented as the petition of a public meeting at Penarth," be signed, Mr. T. S. Lloyd objected to the chairman signing it, as the chairman had already ruled that the meeting was not a public one* The Rev. Morris Morgan said that was a meeting of the temperance party, but it was a public meet- ing nevertheless. Their objection to the gentle- man who had come upon the platform was that he was out of order, because he did not move an amendment. (Cheers and groans). Mr. T. S. Lloyd remarked that the rev. genleman should have explained that before Mr. Taliesin Morgan and his friends had left the hall. He thought it would be most unfair to steal a march upon them. (Applause.) The Rev. Morris Morgan said he expressed a desire that Mr. Morgan should move an amend- ment when Mr. Morgan was on the platform. Mr. T. S. Lloyd reminded the audience that an attempt had been made to throw Mr. Morgan off the platform before he had a chance to move an amendment. (Applause and uproar). The Chairman held that that was it public meet- ing, and that the petition was in order. (Cheers.) He was glad Mr. Lloyd had come out in his true colours, and he hoped he would stick to them. (Applause and interruption.) the proposal that the Chairman should sign the petition was then put and carried, and after some further bickerings the proceedings con- cluded with the singing of a hymn. We understand that Mr. Taliesin Morgan will not rest satisfied till he has had a apolosry from the Chairman, who, he states, deliberately tried to push him off the platform.— Wastern Mail.
