NOTHING ON EARTH WILL MAKE HENS LAY LIKE DOBSON'S EGG-MULTIPLYING CONDIMENT. The following, taken from many Testimonials, speak for themselves:- From Maurice Levy, Esq., M.P., Humberstone Hall, Leicester, Aug. 15th, 1904. Dear Sirs,—I am pleased to testify that I have for some years used your Egg-Multiplying Condi- ment and Egg-Preservative (Oviko) with most satis- factory results.

Pembroke Dockyard Work. ADMIRALTY MAKE AN AWKWARD DEMAND. In this year's Estimates provision is made for ships building and completing at Pembroke in 1907-8 as follows Warrior Labour, ±10,000 material, £ 2,500. Defence Labour, £ 47,000 material, £ 22,000. Boadicea Labour, £ '40,000 material, £ 40,000. This, with the grants for repairs, brings the total for labour tc JE145,000, against £ 138,000 last year. Last year, however, there was a special grant, of £5,000 in addition. Some mouths ago an estimate was prepared in the dockyard as to the cost of the work on the Aquarius. The Admiralty this week have informed the officials that the work must be done for £900 less. As the bulk of the work has already been done this may lead to some difficulties.

+ SENSATIONAL BURGLARY, Two men were arrested on Wednt&day atIthe Stocton on-Tees in connection with a sensational burglary in the early morning at the Garrick Hotel, when a masked man entered a bedroom occupied by the son of the landlady and fired at him, and afterwards at two daugh- ters. When an attempt was made at a capture a com- plete set of burglarious instruments were found in their possession.

WIVES' TALES OF WOE. The Stipendiary at Aberdare on Tuesday had a couple more unhappy marriages before him. One case was that of David John Davies, of Nantmelyn, and his wife Alice, who were married in 1904. They had once before been separated. Defendant, it seems, a short time after the marriage deserted his wife and was ordered then to Eay 14s a week. She went back to him and in May last e again left her. He was now ordered to pay 12s a week, the Stipendiary adding Don't you be soft enough to go back to him again." • The next case was that of Daniel Davies, blacksmith, Osborne-terrace, Penrbiwceibyrs, who was charged with persistent cruelty. Evidence was given that he blackened his wife's eyes and otherwise assaulted her. A separation order was made and defendant was ordered to pay 14s a week.

A BADLY LIGHTED STATION. On Saturday evening an accident occurred at Lower Penarth. After about 6 o'clock no one is left in charge of the local railway station. Miss Shepherd, a middle- aged lady, sister-in-law of Mr W. J. Cooper, of the South Wales Portland Cement Company, and who is on a visit to Mr Cooper, The Elms, Lower Penarth, alighted from the Taff Vale motor car, loaving Penarth at 7.45. There were no lamps alight, and the lady, stepping from the brilliantly lighted car, was unable to see her way. After going a few steps along the platform she fell over the side on to the metals, and sprained her ankle. Two ladies called to the guard, who, with assistance, placed Miss Shepherd upon a seat. The car went on its way, and strange to say, the guard,did not even then light one of the lamps, and Mr Cooper, who had been sent for, had to grope his way along the platform by the aid of lighted matches. Subsequently the injured lady was visited by Dr Rees, who stated that she was also suffering from shock.

FREAKS OF A SPECTRE. The freaks of a so-called spectre are alarming a hamlet some forty miles from Cardiff. The ghost has been paying unwelcome attentiors to a well-known inhabitant of the hamlet who was recently mai ried. The troubie commenced by his luiaiug himself lying on his bedroom floor beside his brd one morning. Naturally he put this down to nightmare. The morning after, however, on awaking he found hiintelf at the other end of the room, and lie then became somewhat uneasy. His wife on both occasions had slept peacefully. The third night, however, both kept awake, and their vigil was rewarded by a sight of tnfu mysterious visitoi, who appeared shoit'ly after the tiaclitional hour oi mid- night. A trustworthy eorre-pondr'nt (savs a London contemporary) ascertained from the victim that the spirit took the form of his own mother, who is still alive and well. He says that his mother opposed his marriage with the lady of his choice very strongly, and ha thinks that the nocturnal visits are acts of revenge. In order to drive the unwelcomed intruder, the victim persuded several of his male friends to remain in his house one night, but, although the ghost appeared as usual to the young man, bis wife, and his mother-in-law, the -♦her watchers were quite unable to discern the Btre: prMcncc.. lb* ",ng man's mother-in-law declares that on one occasic; 5 approached the spectre, who said, quite distin-j "Well, what do you want?" She also says that joe temporalily lost the power of the right side of Lei body at the meeting. The victim declares that the spirit has several times accompanied him part of the way to the village, where he is engaged as a collier. His comrades are greatly pertuibed by the irequent appearances of the spectre and believe firmly in the victim's veracity. The vicar of the parish and several others have visited the house and tried in vain to elucidate the mystery.

MILLIONS IN STEEL PENS. Mr Joseph Gillott, head of the well-known firm of steel pen makers, Gillott and Sons, died suddenly on Tuesday at his residence, Berry Hall, Solihull, Birmingham. Mr Gillott's grandather was the inventor of the modern steel pen. He devised a slitting press, which turned out pens in half the time occupied in the old process. From the humble workshop in Birmingham his business grew until acres of thundering machinery were turning out millions of steel pens each week. It used to be a favourite story of his that on his marriage morning he turned out a gross of his pens to pay the wedding expenses. Mr Gillott, jan., who died, yesterday, was only just over 40 years of age.

-♦ ENGLISH TRADE MARKS. Replying to a deputation on Thursday Mr. Lloyd George, promised that, in clear and gross cases of fraud under the Merchandise Marks Act brought before his department by Chambers of C unerce, I the Board of Trade would take them v with a view to prosecution. He added that he would communicate with the Foreign Office and Treasury on the subject of our Government undertaking prosecutions abroad for piracy of English trade marks.

PEMBROKESHIRE CONGREGATIONALISTS. Pembrokeshire Welsh Congregationalists' quar- terly meetings were held at Rehoboth, Solva, on Thursday, and will be continued to-day. A con- ference took place on Thursday, presided over by the Rev. T. Lewis, pastor. It was announced that the testimonial fund in honour of the Rev. J. Stephens, Llwynyrhwrdd, had already reached £ 100. Ministers referred to the Griffith John jubi- lee commemoration, and it was hoped that Pem- brokeshire churches would materially assist. A letter was read from the secretary of the Congre- gational Union A~T England and Wales urging the necessity of forming a temperanpp society in con- nection with every church. The Rev. J. G. James, Rhosycaerau, read a paper on "Sunday ob- servance."

MILFORD HAYEN. WESLEY GUILD. On Monday evening, at the Wesleyan Church parlour, a most interesting address was given by Miss Cooper, of the R.N.M.D.S.F., on the work amongst the fishermen of the North Sea. Miss Cooper graphically described her stay of three weeks amongst the fishing vessels, and the vast amount of benefit the Mission ships were enabled to give to the men when away from land for such an extended period. The Rev. John Ward thanked Miss Cooper for her splendid address, and expressed the hope that all present would do everything possible to make the work of the mission better known.

REHOBOTH CHAPEL. On Thursday of last week Mrs. Chugg, of Ashton House, gave a coffee supper and entertainment for the benefit of the Church funds. An excellent programme of vocal and instrumental music was well rendered, and the games were also made en- joyable. Solos were ably. given by Miss May Howell, Miss A. Davies, Miss Elsie Davies, Miss Lewis, Miss Rose, Rev. J. Harries, Mr. Michael, Mr. Vaughan, and a trio by special request was well rendered by Messrs. F. Jeffs, Squires, and Laycock. Violin solos were given by Master Harold Lewis in his usual talented style. Miss Ethel Chugg was the accompanist for the evening, after opening with a pianoforte solo in excellent form. The catch of the evening was Mr. Alf. Laycock's comic singing, the audience compelling the amateur comedian to oblige with six songs, and even then crying out for more. The refreshments were temptingly displayed, and, judging by the way they were purchased, were of excellent quality. Mrs. Chugg was supported by willing workers, Mrs. Adams managing the tea and coffee department in her usual indefatigable manner. Mr. Edwin Adams attended to his duties as door- keeper most faithfully. The church desire to especially thank Mrs. Chugg and all who took part in making the even- ing so successful.

ST. KATHERINE'S CHURCH. On Thursday evening of last week the choir of the Parish Church rendered selections from the beautiful sacred cantata, The Holy City" (by Alfred Gaul). The soloists for the evening being Mrs. Herbert Cole (contralto), Mr. W. J. Jenkins (tenor), and Master Arthur Jenkins (soprano). The service opened with the hymn, Jerusalem^ the golden," then followed the opening voluntary. The chorus, "No shadows yonder," was well ren- dered. Mr. W. J .Jenkins did full justice to the solo, My soul is athirst for God." Seldom has Mr. Jenkins been heard to such advantage. In his second solo, To the Lord our God," Mr. Jenkins almost equalled his first rendering. The townspeople are fortunate in possession such a singer. Mrs. Herbert Cole was, as usual, quite equal to the occasion, and upheld her splendid reputation, the solos, "Eye hath not seen" and "Then shall the King say," could not have received better | execution. Master Arthur Jenkins delighted his hearers with the rendering of These are they," and it is to be hoped that he will be able to act as solo soprano for some time yet. The chorus work was well attended to through- out by the choir, great and marvellous being the star production. The organist for the evening was Miss L. Johnson who, as usual, manipulated the somewhat dilapidated instrument in fine style. The work of accompanist was helped to success by Mr. G. W. Lewis and Mr. W. White (violin), Mr. Alford (second violin), Mr. J. John- son (clarionet), and Major C. W. Willis (cello), who most willingly offered their services for the occa- sion. The Choir on Thursday, March 21st, will be heard in the Daughter of Jairus."

FOOTBALL. ASSOCIATION. HAKIN UNITED v. ST. PETER'S INSTITUTE. This match was contested on the field adjoining Fort Hubberstone (by kind permission of Major Willis). The Institute won the spin of the coin, and elected to play with the sun in their favour. the Hakinites at once pressed, and called upon the visitors' backs and Mat Davies (of the town senior club, who assisted the Institute), brought about relief. Aided by this the Milfordians took up the aggressive, and Hakin were given a somewhat lively time, but. finally relief was obtained by a free against A. Adams for off-side, and Hakin managed to keep the play in mid-field for the greater part of the first half. Half-time scores being blank for both. After the usual refreshing lemon the home club set off in fine style, and soon became dangerous, but Collins obtained, and by a fine run compelled the Hakin backs to be on the qui vive," but by a misunderstanding on the part of James, which gave Phillips no earthly chance, A. Adams notched a point for the Institute. Hakin, nothing daunted by this reverse, strove hard to level up, and Fee, the visitor's goal keeper, only just managed to clear. Badrick and L. Adams several times came within an ace of the coveted area. The Milford Club managed to clear their lines, and also to turn the venue of attack; Lewis shot high at an almost open goal. Shea got going from the kick out, and again put Milford on the defensive, but try as they could nothing resulted, the home for- wards being weak in front of goal. Hakin kept up the attack, and looked like scoring. Badrick passed to L. Adams, who was ruled off-side, and thus the chance of getting on equal terms was lost. The whistle was soon sounded by Mr. F. W. G. Stephens, leaving the Institute victors by one goal to nil. MILFORD JUNIORS v. HAVERFORDWEST GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This game was decided on the Pill grounds on Saturday. The Juniors had already taken part in a hard game, and showed signs of fatigue, but managed to gain a victory over the scholars by five goals to one. Clarke notched the first point for the home club, and the School soon got on even terms. Clarke again augmenting the score; as also did Lewis. the other two goals were scored for the Juniors bv the two backs of the school. The referee was Mr. E. Walters. MILFORD JUNIORS v. FEAR NOTS. Milford senior club were down for a fixture with the Royal Artillery, but this game was scratched, and the Milford Juniors, who were to test their skill against the Haverfordwest Grammar School, decided to play a match early Jn the afternoon with the champions of the tournament. The Fear Nots were at full strength, and were bent on add- ing to their long list of triumphs, and the Juniors fully determined to be avenged for their defeat in the contest for the medals. Both teams playied delightful football, there being nothing to choose between them, and a well contested game ended in a draw of no score. Mr. H. H. Powell acted as referee. RUGBY. A match was arranged for last Saturday between Neyland and Milford Haven, and a very good game resulted on the ground of the latter team. During the first half Milford led by one try, scored by Atchison. In the second half Brown scored for Milford, Atchinson converting. Evans and Williams scored for Neyland, Jolly converting the last one. The team were eight points all until a. few minutes before time, when Hitchings crossed over for Milford Haven, giving them the victory by one goal two tries, to one goal one try. M. E. Morgan had the misfortune to hurt his right foot when being tackled with the ball, and on examination the ligaments were found to be torn. The mishap will deprive Milford Haven of his services for the remainder of the season, and for his position at three-quarters it will be diffi- cult to find an efficient substitute.

URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION. The above election takes place on Wednesday, March 27th, the retiring Councillors being Messrs. J. P .Gaskell, C. T. Blethyn, J. R. Garrett, James Thomas, and William Williams. All the above offer themselves for re-election, with the exception of Mr. Gaskell, who has declined to be nominated this year. The following new candidates were also nomi- nated yesterday:—Messrs. A. S. Chugg, T. G. Hancock, D. G. Jones, and Hugh Thomas. Providing there are no withdrawals before Tues- day next, there will be eight candidates for five seats.

FISH NOTES. The trawl market this week presented a very busy appearance, good supplies arriving daily. Monday was the heaviest day for this year, sixteen steamers, a few liners and smacks landing about 3,000 packages of different kinds of fish. Prices were very good considering the supply. Hake 25s. to 28s., bream 6s., haddock 20s., cod 12s. 6d., lemons 35s., magrims 28s., plaice 50s. Tuesday prices were about the same, but a few kits of hake made 30s. per kit. On Wednesday price of hake fell to 21s. per kit. Ten boats landed for Thurs- day's market about 1,800 packages. Hake again dropped in price to 15s. per kit. Very few smacks landing, and the mackerel trade is also quiet. On Monday five trains left Milford Haven, hav- ing over 300 tons fish for various markets. The new steam trawler Cameo, owned by Messrs. Johnstone and Longthorpe, arrive dthis week, and looks a good useful boat. Built by Messrs. Smiths' Dock Co., North Shields, she is 132 feet over all, and 120 feet between perpendiculars, with 21feet 6 inch beam, and 12 feet 6 inchs moulded depth. There is a raised quarter deck from foreside of winch, has a bunker capacity of 150 tons, and insulated fish rooms. Mr. Frederick Wenn, of Great Yarmouth, has purchased the box factory on Milford Docks, and this week discharged a big cargo of timber.

REHOBOTH BACHELORS' COFFEE SUPPER. Last evening a very successful coffee supper was given at Rehoboth Schoolroom by the bache- lors. There was a large attendance, and the schoolroom, which was nicely decorated with flags, presented a comfortable appearance. The chair was taken by Mr. J. D. Harries, chemist, and the following artistes took part:—Solos, Miss Elsie Davies, Miss Howell, Messrs. A. Laycock (comic), and S. Scott; violin, Miss Chugg; reading, Mr. Crocker; recitation, Mr. Wilson. The games were under the supervision of Messrs. Michael and Williams. At 9 o'clock supper was served by the bachelors, each of whom was attired in a white apron, and their first appearance into the schoolroom caused much amusement. The re- freshments were of the best quality, and com- manded a ready sale. The social was carried on until 11 o'clock, when a pleasant evening was brought to a close. The proceeds of the evening amounted to 94 Is. Miss E. Chugg acted as accom- panist in her usual efficient way.

Earthquake Experiences. PEMBROKESHIRE PEOPLE IN JAMAICA. SURVIVOR'S THRILLING NARRATIVE. WOMAN'S PLUCK AND ENDURANCE. One of the most terrible scenes ever witnessed by human eyes, the transformation of the great and thriving city of Kingston in a single night into a charnel-house, a heap of smouldering ruins," was the graphic description of a Pembroke- shire lady of the recent earthquake in Jamaica. Mrs. David Williams, after sharing with her hus- band and child marvellous, perilous adventures and hairbreadth escapes, has returned to Milford Haven, where she kindly consented to be inter- viewed by a representative of the Pembrokeshire Herald." My husband," said Mrs. David Williams, is Quarter-Master Sergeant of the Royal Engineers, in which he has served twelve years. He is a native of Pembroke Dock, whilst I was born in Milford Haven. He had previously seen foreign service at Singapore, where I accompanied him. He was ordered to Port Royal in Jamaica for three years. My husband, myself, and our little boy, aged eight, left Pembroke on December 19th, and as we are very well known we had a most enthusiastic send off, and you would have thought the God speeds sufficient in themselves to avert any disaster. "We sailed the next day from Southampton in the R.M.S.P. Sabor. We were in all about eighty men, and ten married couples, belonging to the Royal Engineers. The Sabor is a cargo vessel, and we first of all proceeded to Spain. We arrived at Bilbao, where we had a rather amusing adventure. Only the sergeants and their wives were allowed ashore, the younger men being kept to the ship. The natives had apparently never seen British soldiers before, as they followed us in a large crowd and kept up a hostile demonstration. Some English merchants, however, took us in hand, and took us to see the sights, and entertained us right royally. At Corunna we were unable to go ashore, although we were all anxious to see the tomb of Sir John Moore. We, however, bought picture postcards, which, for better or worse, are to be met with everywhere. At Teneriffe we found that typhoid had broken out, so we were unable to go ashore or to allow anyone to come on board. "We had a splendid voyage, and landed at Port Royal on Friday, January 11th. Port Royal is, or was a narrow strip of land across the en- trance to Kingston Harbour, and used by the Government for coast defence works and sub- marine mines, and here my husband was to be stationed. The soldiers call Port Royal the Rasher of bacon,' because it is a long sandy strip, and there is a row of white house and then a row of red, which, in the sunlight, renders the resemblance very striking. If you look at the map you will see that it is practically a very narrow bank of sand, and forms a breakwater for Kingston Harbour. Kingston is Teached across the water by the small steamers. On the Saturday we went across to Kingston, and I shall ever remember the drive through the city, which, you know, was in a very prosperous condition, and the centre of the export trade from Jamaica. A large trade was carried on principally in fruit and rum. There were wide streets, high buildings, and electric cars and light. "We were in quarters at Port Royal. On Mon- day afternoon my husband was on duty, and my little boy playing outside somewhere, so I was in the house alone. About twenty minutes to four the clocks stopped, and the first tremour of the earthquake were felt. To ask one to describe an earthquake is impossible. I tried to rush from the house, but everything was vibrating. You can't run when there is an earthquake. I got outside somehow and fell down the steps. I staggered along blindly trying to find my husband. I heard after that he had had a narrower escape than myself. The works were swept away and sub- merged, and he got up to his neck in a fissure. We all ran to the square. When I saw my hus- band he was without his hat, and caked up to the neck in mud. All we Europeans gathered together under some trees. The children, poor things, did not appear very much frightened. We huddled together and awaited death in the oncoming tidal wave. Port Royal was already partially swept away, and it only seemed a question of a few hours before we must all be swept into eternity. The end seemed inevitable, and there was no escape, so we were for the most part quietly resigned. We gazed across to water at Kingston ,and wondered why they did not send us help, little thinking of the terrible fate which had befallen the city. During the night some of the men went into ruins of the coffee houses and made us coffee. When day- light dawned we were all utterly unnerved, and we beseeched them to take us on a little steamer which was lying without steam on the dock, and so the women and children and just the married men were taken on board. There we stayed all the day without food. "Then we saw across the water the burning city of Kingston. Hundreds of tons of coal and the rum in the warehouses made a conflagration which illuminated the sky for miles around. At night we were taken across to the ordnance wharf. And thn we were driven across the smoulder- ing ruins of the city of Kingston. The debris had j filled the roads, and suffi'cient room for the buggies to pass had had to be cleared. In the smouldering debris lay the bodies of the dead. Owing to the buildings being so high the people had rushed into the street from one building only to be killed by the falling buildings opposite. Those who were on the ground floor at the time of the earthquake had just a chance of escaping, but the people in the upper stories were in- variably killed. In some of the large establish- ments dozen and scores of assistants had met their deaths. All the buildings were absolutely shattered, and the walls which had not fallen had afterwards to be blown down wit hgunpowder. Here and there might be seen an electric car burnt down to the wheels. Other sights there were too horrible for description." They were taken to the camp some distance out. Here at Uppark Camp there was a small ] town, including the West Indian Regiment, num- bering 1,200 under canvas. They were not so badly off because they had food, whilst some of the people of Kingston had no bread and no place to shelter them until the relief work got properly organised. The stench from the bodies was every- where bad, and in clearing out the debris the bodies were generally saturated with oil and bunrt. The natives who had previously been a law-abiding community, had no sooner ceased to pray than they commenced to loot. I ieutenant Lamont and Major W. H. Hardman, of the West Indian Regiment, had been killed in the fall of the Myrtle Bank Hotel. Major and Mrs. Jackson had previously lunched with them, and had driven out to the Hope Gardens. On their return they found the hotel in ruins, and their hosts head. Major Jackson went in search of his luggage, which he found. The natives would not help him, so by the most strenuous exertion .he succeeded in dragging the baggage to the wharf. Here he found some natives with a dugout, and this he chartered to take him to Port Royal. When they were some distance across the natives said the fare would be £ 6. The major protested vigorously, and asked to be rowed to the Port Kingston, which was lying in the harbour, but he was told the vessel was on fire. He finally compromised the matter by handing over to the natives all the money he had in his possession, amounting to £3 15s. They were always in danger from the natives, and when- ever they stirred abroad had to be accompanied by pickets. One of the most striking features in connection with the earthquake was that althopgh there were 1,700 killed, God's good providence appeared to be in evidence even in the earthquake. Had it. hap- pened at any other time a great many more fatalities must have inevitably occurred. The children in Jamaica only attend school in the morning, so that the lives of hundreds of the little ones where thereby preserved. Naturally with so many people on their hands the Government began to anxiously consider ways and means for sending as many of the women and children as possible back to England. Then to everyone's delight the Sabor, which had been com- pleting her voyage by calli:- Travanna, Mexico. and Port Antonio, put back to Kingston Harbour. At first it was not known whether she could take the passengers back or not, but one morning, after fh-y had been in camp about three weeks the order was sent round that the married women and children were to be sent to England on board the Sabor. Then came a melancholy drive through the ruins of Kingston, still smouldering. Captain Mason had not anticipated having to take the people home again he had brought out, but he was agreeably surprised when they walked on board instead of being conveyed on stretchers. There were naturally sad scenes on board the homeward bound Sabor. There were the five orphaned children of Sergt.-Major Suyden, who had lost both parents in the disaster, and were left without a friend in the world. Small wonder that whilst the other children laughed and played in camp and on board the ship, these orphans were silent as though overwhelmed by the burden of their sorrows. On arrival in England the baby was adopted, and the others sent to homes. Then the captain had lost a personal friend in Capt. Con- stantine, who held a high office in the service of the R.M.S.P., and perished at the post of duty. Of those who went out by the Sabor, however, only one had lost his life, Sapper Warburton, and this the Captain naturally attributed to his lucky ship." But the luck of the Sabor was to be still further tested. Before reaching England she encountered the same terrific storms as resulted in the loss of the ill-fated Berlin. But no one was for the moment, down-hearted. All felt that Providence would not have brought them safely through the midst of a terrible earthquake to lose their lives at sea, and so it proved. Just on two months after their departure Mrs. David Williams and her son again landed in England, after a period of adventure seldom equalled in our prosaic every day lives. "Of course you will never return to Jamaica?" said our representative. That all depends if the Government continue Port Royal as a military station. You see all the! works and a great part of the land itself have been swept away. I think the Government ought really to abandon the place. Kingston I hear is to be re-built further inland of steel and low buildings. My husband has three years to serve, so if he remains there I shall apply for a passage out later in the year. I am not anxious on his account, because of the earthquakes, because the last oc- curred quite two hundred years ago, but what I do dread is the outbreak of yellow fever. When the rainy weather sets in May the bodies lying un- buried will be a terrible source of contagion. When I was there they had not disinfectants, and my husband had only some camphor, which I ex- pect is gone by this time. Yellow fever has not been so prevalent in Kingston during recent years, but I expect it will break out again. How fatal the disease is may be gauged by the fact that a regiment were once swept away to the man. Other- wise the climate was delightfully healthy. They might as well bring the men home, because they are thoroughly unnerved." And our representative wended his wayTo the station with the thought of what such women have accomplished by their pluck and fortitude in the building up of the great Empire on which the sun never sets, and whose mother tongue predominates the earth, and especially in the well-known phrase, A iiobls wether must have bred so brave a son."

WALTON WEST. The Parish Meeting for the election of coun- cillors for the above parish was held in Broad Haven schoolroom on Monday evening last, at 7.30. Mr. J. H. Llewellin, clerk of the Council, presided, but very few parishioners attended. The following were electedRev. James Phillips, Messrs. John Davies, Arthur James, D. Jenkins, R. Rogers, Jos. Thomas, and George Williams. All the old members were re-elected, and Mr. Jos. Thomas holds the seat vacated by Mr. Evans, Millmoor, who has left the neighbourhood.

« WISTON. A sacred concert was held at the C.M.

Miss Annie James, Haverford- west, also contributed several welcome items, and recitations were given by Miss Francis, Milford. The accompanist was Miss Katie Lewis, Clarbes- ton Road. The concert (presided over by Mr. Walter Jones, who kept the audience in good humour), was a decided success in every respect, the audience testifying their apprecia- tion by very hearty applause.

♦ Alleged Robbery. SAUNDERSFOOT SENSATION. COLLIERY MANAGER CHARGED. At Narberth Police Court on Thursday (before Mr. R .H. Buckby, Dr. Lawrence, Mr. H. Seymour Allen, Mr. Alfred Edwards, and Colonel Goodeve), Giles Jones, recently manager of the Bonville Court Colliery, Saundersfoot, was brought up, on remand, and charged with feloniously entering and breaking the offices of the above company and stealing £54 in money on the 7th ult. Mr. Edward Muncaster, solicitor, Tenby, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Walter R. James, solicitor, Tenby, appeared for the defence. Mr. Muncaster, in opening, said the harbour office at Saundersfoot was situated at the harbour, and was a detached building. It was an office with a resident caretaker. On the day of the rob- bery Mr. Brinn, the cashier of the colliery—which belonged to Mr. Vickerman, in whose service Mr. Brinn had been for 25 years-would say that he had a considerable sum of money in the drawer of his office desk, it being customary to leave a large sum in hand for pay day, which took place fort- nightly every Friday, that money being obtained through a cheque taken to the bank. The colliery offices comprised six rooms, three up and three below. Those above being occupied by Mr. Vickerman, the clerks, and the cashier. In Mr. Brinn's room there was a locked-up desk, which j he used regularly as a safe. There were three safes in that building, but Mr. Brinn would tell them that he was not in the habit of locking the money in the safe, but had relied upon the well- known character of the Pembrokeshire people for honesty, but had allowed the safe to be used for books. On the night in question he locked up the money in the presence of the defendant, and left the building with him. He was perfectly aware of the inner workings of the offices. On going to the office on the following morning Mr. Brinn had pointed out to him that a window had been smashed with great force. Mr. Brinn rushed up- stairs at once, and there found that his desk had been prized open, a bit of the woodwork chipped off, and the whole of the money gone. None of the drawers in the other offices had been touched. A man named Simpson saw the defendant going along the railway towards the wood on the morn- ing following the robbery, and that he was linger- ing about. Two other witnesses would say that defendant was seen to stop opposite the wood, stoop down, pick up something, roll it in his hand, and throw it into the wood. A bag, which had contained some of the stolen money, was subse-1 quently found. On the following Tuesday defen- dant went to Neath, having obtained leave to fetch his wife and family to Saundersfoot. The learned advocate then intimated that defendant went to Neath to consult a solicitor in regard to a judg- ment against him for £100 and costs in a libel action at Cardiff Assizes in 1903 ,and 'amongst de- fendant's papers were three letters from the Neath solicitor pressing for judgment money, besides a note of a judgment recovered against defendant by the Swansea Mercantile Bank, showing that defendant owed them a considerable sum. George Brinn, cashier to Mr. C. H. R. Vickerman, of Saundersfoot, who owns the Bonville Court Colliery and Harbour at Saundersfoot, gave evi- dence in support of the opening statement. To the chairman, witness said he could not say whether on that particular night the money was exposed to defendant. Witness (continuing) said the information that he kept his cash in a particular drawer was not known to many people. This cash was for the people of the colliery on the following day. On the evening in question there was naturally more money in the drawer than on ordinary days. About 7 o'clock the same evening defendant stayed with witness till about 9.45 o'clock, when both went into the village. To Mr. Allen: Defendant was the only outside person who would know the inner workings of the office. Witness went to the Hean Castle Hotel that night about 9.50 with the defendant, and they were there until closing time. Defendant and he walked about, Mr. Fred Coles joining them. Wit-; ness left his friends together at 10.30 and went home. Defendant's lodgings were only about 100 yards from the colliery. On going to the office the next morning he saw Mary Chile, the cleaner. She said, "Look what they have done." He then saw a pane of glass smashed in a window which was about three feet from the ground. On going to his room he found the ,drawer of his desk slightly open, and the contents all gone. The lock looked as if it had been forced, the bolt being half shot ,and a piece of wood chipped off. Everything else was intact in the room. To the Chairman: Those in the office knew that witness kept money in the drawer. Cross-examined by Mr. James: The three who knew where the money was kept were all named George Williams. Two of them worked in the offices ,and one of them was an occasional hand. People who paid witness money for the colliery or the harbour paid him in the room from which the money was missing. The girl messenger Knew that witness kept the money there, too. Mr. Vickerman's tenants paid money likewise in that room. He sometimes advanced captains sums of money on their freights. He had no reason to be- lieve that defendant knew there was a large sum of money there on that particular occasion, but he knew it was the night before pay day. There was no certainty of being a large sum there on Thursdays, because some captains might draw on a Wednesday. None of the clerks had the keys of the office. On the night in question defendant was interested in the County Council election of their employer, and was working on his behalf. Witness saw defendant next at 3.30 p.m. on the following afternoon. The cleaner, who informed him of the smashed window, never called atten- tion to his desk, which she had been in the habit of cleaning for 18 to 20 years. She was paid her wages out of that particular drawer. She Sad a nephew, John Child, a pilot, who sometimes went to witness's office to be paid, but he did not go there so often as the defendant. Witness would fancy that his drawer had been chipped by a chisel, as the mark made was a fairly clean one, but the chisel was not found. The statement as to the missing money being k54 5s. 3d. was in- correct, as he subsequently discovered that he made an error in balancing. The amount really was £54 3s. 3d. Mary Child (73), the cleaner, deposed to going to clean the offices at 6 o'clock on the Thursday morning, and discovering the smashed window. She had not seen the screw of the window, and although it was not usual to find the cashier's drawer open, still she forgot all about mentioning the discovery to him. She would have left the offices sooner had she not. found the wThdow smashed, but she waited for Mr. Brinn's arrival in order to assure him that she did not break it. Other evidence was called. The case was adjourned until next Thursday, Defendant, who pleads innocence, was admitted to bail.

Alleged Attempted Suicide at Llandyssil, Last Thursday morning Llandyssil was startled by the report that the Rev. Hugh Rowlands, the minister in charge of Peniel and Bethel Churches, had attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. Mr. Davies, his landlord, was going to bed about 2 a.m., and heard him walking about the room, and on entering found him fully dressed and bleeding profusely from the throat. Mr. Davies summoned a neighbour, Mr. David Evans, who succeeded in stopping the hemorhage, and Dr. E. R. Evans was called. The patient was very weak the next day from loss of blood, but out of danger. He has been in Llandyssil only a few months, but was very much liked, and a very able preacher. He usually seemed very bright, but recently he burried his mother, and since has been in very low spirits, and he had suffered from a severe cold during the last week. His age is 25.

0 Motor Ploughing. That an agricultural motor can do work much more quickly than is the case when horses are employed, is now well known. The motor is a great boon to farmers, especialy when they have got behind with their work., as by providing a few acetylene gas lamps, work in the field can be car- ried on by night as well as by day. On Friday afternoon, Mr Gwilym H. James and his plough- man, Lewis Beddoe, took the Ive 1' motor and a three furow Kid Kangaroo plough into one of the many fields on Penllwyn Farm, and, being an- xious to finish the ploughing, they kept at work all night. With the aid of only one lamp, they did the work very creditably. During the night there were a few very heavy hail showers, but mas- ter and man stuck to their posts. The motor worked splendidly, swinging round and turning the head- lands with ease, and the plough did work just as good as if done by day. Apart from working in the fields, the capabilities of themotor are invaluable on the farm. It will do anything at present done by the ordinary stationary engine. We understand this same motor has been brought out and hitched to a 54in. double blast threshing machine owned by Mr. James, of Narberth, and drove it equally as well as a steam engine.

After a great deal of discussion an order was made for £1 and costs. Mansel Sambruck, St. David's, was summoned by Francis John Swales, St. David's, in respect of £2 12s. alleged to be due to him as wages. In this case an order was made for £1 12s. and costs.

CYCLISTS FINED. David Harries, stoker on the Letterston railway at Goodwick, was summoned for riding on the Haverfordwest and Fishguard road with a light.- P.C.
