TO TH EDITOR or "THE CAMBRIAN." SIR,—Kindly allow me a space in the next issue of The Cambrian to reply to Mr. T. R. W. Mason's letter in your paper of August 17th, qnd your editorial remarks of last week. In January last I sent to the Chairman and every member of the Harbour Trust and Corporation, and to the merchants and brokers of the town, a copy of my plan and report for improving the dock accommodation. Some of these kindly acknow- ledged receipt of same, and gave their opinions on the scheme. It is very evident that neither you nor Mr. Mason could have taken much trouble to peruse either the plan or report in question, for it this had been done Mr. Mason would not have asked the questions he did, neither would you have talked about lowering the bottom of the entrance- the cill and the locks. To deepen the cill of either dock in Swansea would mean to stop all tr.-flie into the dock. I have laid my plan and report before an eminent civil engineer of this town, who knows the port and all its requirements, and who informed me that uiy plan of connecting the three docks would not, in his opinion, cost as much money as it is talked of laying out in extending the Prince of Wales' Dock also that the east or west lock of my plan could be constructed and carried out (east lock more especially) without any hindrance whatever to the traffic of either dock. I quite agree with my friena's opinion, and feel quite assured that my plan, if carried out, would be of more service, and would for many years to come meet all the requirements of the port. My contention is that the lengthening of the East I Dock would not in any way inciease the accommoda- tion or depth of water over the cilis of either of I the present docks. Twenty-six feet at the North Dock entrance (30 could be had if requited) would give sufficient water to enable each dock to do its own work without rushing to the East Dock, and the latter would then only have its own work to perform, thereby doing away with the necessity of lengthening it. In case you have mislaid the plan and repoit referred to I forward you another copy of Each, and shall feel obliged by your giving pub- licity to my report by inserting it in your next issue. Should any of your readers feel sufficient interest in this matter, I shall be happy to send them copies, whereby they will see by what means the expenses of costly dredging and of pumping at each dock, and also the paying for back water to feed the docks, may be obviated.—I am, Sir, yours faithfully, ROSSER ROSSER. [Considerations of space preclude the possibility of publishing Mr. Rosser's scheme in its entirety, at any rate, this week. Our reniaiks of last week were based upon Mr. Mason's suggestions, and were irrespective altogether of Mr. Rossei's scheme.—ED. The Cambrian.]

SWANSEA HOSPITAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THB CAMBRIAN." SIR,-The public of Swansea will doubtless be interested in reading the enclosed copy of a letter addressed to me by Sir John T. D. Llewelyn's solicitor (Thos. W. James, Esq.). Will you please publish ite-Yours faithfully, JOHN W. MORRIS, Secretary. "Arcade Chambers, Goat-street, Swansea. 20th August, 1894. DEAR John Llewelyn desires me to write to you formally upon a matter that I have before mentioned to you. Many years ago Sir John's father and the late Mr. Grenfell were instrumental in getting together a fund for the benefit of a lady who was nearly destitute, and who suffered from a peculiar malady. After her death the original administrators of the fund applied the income to other deserving'^ses that came'under their notice, and the last rson in receipt of such income died a couple of yea's ago. At first a part, and afterwards the whole, of the income has been accumulating, and there is now on deposit at the Glamorganshire Bank and in other investments a sum of £ 1,120. In consequence of the late Mr. J. D. Llewelyn sur- viving the late Mr. Gr.mfell, the fund came under Mr. Llewelyn's control, a^d it has since descended to Sir John Llewelyn as executor to his late father. Sir John has always understood that the money was a charitable fund, and for this reason has not mixed it up with his own monies. It is not known how the money was originally subscribed, nor who the subscribers were, and in consequence of this there has been some little legal difficulty as to how it should for the future b? dealt with. bir John Llewelyn has all along had the idea that, inasmuch as the fund was originally subscribed for the alleviation of physical suffering, its ultimate destination should be towards the same purpose. With a view of carrying out that idea, sir John has, under advice, executed a deed of transfer to four trustees and directed t::1t tho income shall be applied towards maintaining gratuitously in the Swansea Hospital an in-patient whose bed shall be called The Llewelyn and Grenfell Bed." Perhaps you will -formally bring this matter before the Committee of the Hospital. I am sending you a copy of the Deed of Trust which you will please place with the Hospital Deeds. If you or any one else should desire to see the amount of the Trust up to this date, I shall be most happy to show them. r-Yours truly, THOMAS WM. JAMES. To J. W. Morris, Secretary, The Hospital, Swansea."

I THE BOOKIES' BRAWL. GRAND FINALE AT THE SWANSEA I POLICE COURT. The scanty precincts of the Swansea Police Court were strained to their little utmott on Monday, when the Bench attacked the eleven regaining summonses arising out of the exciting contest which occurred between several bttting men in Winj-street, on Friday, August 17th, with an evident determination to have no more of it. The proceedings lasted far into the afternoon, and excited a great deal of interest, the Court being un- comfortably crowded all day. The Bench consisted of J. Coke Fowler (Stipendiary), L. Tulloch and W. Stone, Esqrs., and Dr. J. G. Hall. In all the cases except the iirst, witnesses were ordered out of Court, and some very conflicting I statements were made by them. Chas. YV. Bradbury and Wm. Leahy were first summoned by the Police for fighting in Wind-street, on the 17th of Aug. Mr. Villiers Meager (instructed by Mr. Davies, from the office of Mr. R. T. Leyson) appeared for Leahy, and Bradbury was undefended. P.C. (42) Merrells stated that he separated the two defendants, who were struggling on the ground in the centre of a large crowd which blocked the roadway. Bradbury was bleeding in the face. In defence he alleged that Leahy insulted him and struck him down. Other witnesses said that Bradbury commenced the row. The Bench bound both men over to behave themselves for art months.—Leahy against Charles Thomas, Wm. Davies and Thus. Francombe was next called on. Thomas was summoned for assault and the other two were summoned for aiding and abetting. Mr. Villiers Meager (instructed by Mr. Davies, from the office of Mr. Leyson), appeared for Leahy, Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Mr. David Seline) appeared for Davies and Thomas, and Mr. J. W. Nicholas (Llandilo) appeared for Francombe. Complainant stated that he had lent Thomas c5, and the non-re-payment was the origin of the row. On the 17th August, abont middle- day, as he was coming out of the Midland Counties' Bank with some money in his hand, Thomas, who was accompanied by the two other defendants, attacked biin.—Cross-examined by Mr. Bowen Complainant had been convicted on two different occasions. Letters from Leahy to Thomas were handed in, purporting to contain certain disgusting language.—Cross-examined by Mr. Nicholas: Neither Francombe nor Davies had struck him, but they came there with the intention of assaulting him. When he (Leahy) saw Thomas by himself previously he had not touched him.—Leahy's clerk, W. Doherty, corroborated, and in cross-examination admitted that he had been convicted for assaulting a guard.—Mr. J. W. Nicholas submitted on behalf of Francombe that no case had been made out against him, and Mr. Ivor Bowen submitted the same on behalf of Davies.—The Bench, after a short consideration, decided to dismiss t ,tAe case against those two.—Mr. Ivor Bowen, in opening the case for Thomas, referred to the characters of Mr. Leahy and his witness, and contended that they could not be believed on account of them.— Captain Bindon stated that Leahy first commenced the assault.—Before deciding upon the last case, the Bench took the summonses brought by Leahy against Evan King, of Cardiff, and Chas. Thomas, for assault, alleged to have been committed in the evening. Mr. J. W. Nicholas was for King, and the other counsel were the same as in the last case. Leahy stated that in the. Tradesmen II Club he met King, who acccsted and assaulted him. Thomas then came up behind and struck him on the no amid cries of "kill him" from Davies.—Other witnesses were called, one of which, a young girl named Caroline Fuller, said King had threatened her if she told lies about him. Cross-examined Doherty had promised to give her a diamond ring about a fortnight ago, before the date of the assault.—Doherty was next called, and deposed to seeing the assault by Thomas. Gross-enniined h Mr. Bowen Witness promised the girl Faii„ ring on Friday last.-P.C. (91) Roberts depos Seeing Thomas strike Leahy.—In defence of jr witnesses were called to deny that he stru blow, and they stated that Leahy was dmrV the time of the brawl.—The Bench eventn 11 dismissed the summons against Kinz <■ ? Thomas 40s. and costs— £ 4 6s. 6d. in' all— 14 days, for the first assault upon Leahy OK inclusive or 14 days, for the second' asaanU which the learned Stipendiary characterised all cruel and cowardly.—Charles Thomas was *1 summoned by Leahy for sureties of the neaL h! having threatened him. Mr. Bowen suhmiif^? that their worships had dealt entirely case, and Thomas had received sufficient nnni h8 ment. The Ber.cb bound him over to keep the peace in the sum of £ 2o for six months —The next case was between Wm. Davies, 0"f the Victoria Inn, and Mrs. Leahy. The former summoned the latter for assault, and the latter summoned the former for using abusive lanzuaee towards her on the 17th August.—Davies aileized vlofj that Mrs. Leahy spat in his face, and he retorted that she was no lady, and to tiie effect tha* .i,« had misbehaved hers.-lf with Morgan Cm Jit The Bench fined Mrs. Leahy Is., and DavTe8 iV and the Court rose shortly af-er 6 o'clock brtvj episode 8UBim°nS arWi"g °Ut °f ^excS

The pulp is agitated with water and rolled on a tube. When there is a sufficient thickness around the tube, the extra water is drained away, and the pulp is placed on end, the interior mould being with- drawn. leaving the wood-pulp tube. This is held on suitable supports and dried until the water is evaporated. The further process consists of dipping it into a very hot solution of asphaltum and other materials which penetrate the whole substance. The ends are then squared up, and the threads cut, or taper finish is made in the usual manner of wrought-iron pipe. This material, when finished, possesses, it is said, high electrical resistance, rendering it suitable for underground conduits for electric wires. As a non-conductor it is free from being impaired by electrolytic action from earth return currents, which have become such a serious factor in impairing the water and the gas pipes in cities where the street traincars are propelled by electric motors using earth return circuits.

THE MUMBLES YACHTING FATALITY. EECOVEEY OF AND INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MR. BOWDEN. On Friday afternoon last, shortly before five o'clock, the body of Mr. Frederick Bowden, who WHS drowned whlIlt yachting in the Bay, on Thursday, August llth, was found inside Mr. W. Lawson's fishing nets, opposite Norton-road, by a fisherman named Davies, it having risen to the surface in accordance with the old saying, on the ninth day of its submersion. When discovered, the body was lying face downwards in some feet of water. Davies waded out to it. and upon turning it over recognised it as that of Mr. Bowden, although the face was greatly decomposed. P.S. Davies and P.U. Ashtou arrived shortly afterwards and conveyed the body to the stables at the back of the White Rose Inn, to await the inquest. THE INQUEST. The inquest was held at the White Rose Inn, Mumbles, on Saturday afternoon, before the deputy-coroner, Mr. T. N. Talfourd Stnck. The jury, after being sworn in, proceeded to view the body. Mr. Edward Morris-Gregory, shipping agent and coal exporter, was the first witness called. He identified the body as that of Frederick Bowden, who was his brother-in-law, and carried on the business of a stationer and fancy dealer in Castle- street, though, formerly, he was a shipwright. Deceased was 34 years of age. He owned a small yacht for about two months, bat for two or three years had taken an interest in boating. He was accustomed to the boat and knew how to manage it. Witness last saw him alive on Tuesday week. Deceased had a boy and girl. Witness had never seen him swim and did not know whether he could. He bad no doubt that the body was that of Mr. Bowden. David Williams, of 27, Park-street, a fishermen, said he was out with Mr. T. W. James in his yacht on Thursday, August 16tb, and when about mid- way between the Mumbles and Swansea pier he saw Mr. Bowden in his boat. About four o'clock deceased started in his boat alone, the same time as witness, evidently with the intention of making for Swansea. Witness saw him carry away his jib halliards, and then the only sail he was under was the mainsail and the jib. He then went for'ard and took in the jib and set the foresail. Then, under foresail and mainsail, he put about and made for the Mumbles. When this happened witness was only between 40 and 50 yards away. Witness also steeled for the Mumbles, and was ahead of deceased's yacht. Witness afterwards went in the direction of Swansea and again saw deceased, about five o'clock, standing on the deck and heading towards the Mumbles, still under mainsail and foresail. He seemed all right then, witness passing him within 20 yards. Witness afterwards came across a Mr. Burt, who asked him if he had seen Mr. Bowden. Witness told him particulars and then went in search of him. Previous to being on the water, witness saw deceased about 12 o'clock drying his sails, cushions, &c. In conversation, he seemed in his usual spirits. Since witness had known him, deceased was able to manage a boat. The wind was north at the time, so that there could not be much sea. The breeze was slight and not too strong for the canvas Mr. Bowden was carrying. William Burt, ironmonger, stated that he knew the deceased, whom he saw on his yacht about three o'clock on the day of the accident. About 5.15 in the evening, witness saw deceased's boat drift on to the beacb, opposite the George Hotel. There appeared to be no one aboard, and witness, with a n.an named Michael, went on her and saw the main-sheet hanging over the stern, the end being made fast with the bight overboard. She carried a mainsail with two reefs and a foresail. The eye- bolt by which the halliards were secured to the masthead bad been carried away but everything else seemed to be all right. The tiller was "put" in the cockpit so that the boat could steer herself. The tiller was placed in that position so as to 1 enable deceased to do something to the sails. It prevented the boat corning up into the wind, though it would have been safer for deceased to have let the tiller play. If deceased slipped on board he was bound to fall over. Witness did not think the boom had knocked him over. A juryman here remarked that he had been told deceased was a splendid swimmer, and witness said if deceased had kept afloat for five minutes he would have been picked up. Dr. J. Bevan said he had made an external ex- amination of the body and the only mark he found was an abrasion about the size of a two-shilling piece on the back of the head. It was very slight and of no importance, it being probably caused after death. He did not know whether it was caused by a blow from the boom, as it would depend upon the force. The mark did not indicate that the blow, if it was received before death, was sufficient to a,un hi.. John Davies, a fisherman, of Vincent-street, Swansea, deposed to finding the body, lying in about two yards of water, face downwards, inside the nets opposite Norton-road, at about 4.30 a.m. on Friday. Sergeant Dtvies stated that he removed the body and afterwards searched the pockets of the clothes be wore. He found £ 15 18s. Id., of which XII 104. in gold was in a purse, and the remainder, which was all in silver with the exception of the penny p,eC^rJTe in the h'P P°cket- A knife, pocket-book, &c., were also found in the pockets. Deceased wore sand-shoes, with india-rubber soles- ovr-al1 trousers, and a white jersey; he had no waistcoat. nH6 ,d,e,pu!:j,-Cc)roner in summing up, recom- ™foS drnwrV" retUrn a Verdict practically of found drowned," a8 follows That the said WFTML TI °N LLFCH OF AU«UST.

We find that the body of the deceased was, on the 24th August, inst., fouud drowned by the weirs in Swansea B.y, off Norton-road, and are inclined to think that whilst attendiug to the care of the yacht, he accidentally feU overboaid and was O.rowned." THE FUNERAL. The remains of the deceased were interred at the Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, the body having been taken from the Mumbles to the deceased's house shortly before the conclusion of the inquest on Saturday. The Rev. W. E. Shaw, pastor of St. Andrew si reshyterian Church, held a preliminary service m the house, at which there were present: « 01 B°wden (the widow), Master Fredk. and Miss Gladys Bowden (the children), Mrs. Gregory (roother-ID-hw) and her daughters* (INliss Gregory and Mrs. F.

Tha deceased was interred in the chapel portion of the Cemetery, the Rev. W. E. Shaw conducting the burial service. Much sympathy was expressed with the bereaved widow, who has tendered her fincere thanks to all who have shown her kindness on account of the sad affair.

) SWANSEA BOARD OP GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of this Board was held at the Workhouse, on Monday, at 11.30 a.m. There were pre-ent Mr. Edw. Rice Daniel, in the chair Mr. P. Rogers, vice-chairman Rev. O. T. Snelling, Rev. Dr. Gomer Lewis, and Messrs. Philip Jenkins, Edw. Roberts, Seymour Arthur-, Rees Harries, Richard Jenkins, E. C. Prees, Wm. Sims, David OWD, and W. P. Wearne. FINANCE REPORT.—The minutes of the list meeting having been read, Mr. Edw. Roberts brought up the Finance Committee's report, which stated that the amount in the bank to the credit of the Union was £ 1 867 18s. od bills ordered to be paid, £670 13«. Hnd to Relieving Officers, k406 —total, Et,07#i 17s. 3d., leaving a balance in hand of E791 If. 21.—In answer to Mr. Richard Jenkins, it was stated that some of the parishes had not yet paid up, but were expected to do so in a few days. Swansea Town had paid 21,700. which was con. sidered a good proportion. As there was a fair balance in hand, it was thought undesirable to press the defaulting parishes for a few days.—Mr. R. Jenkins and others thought it would be more consistent to do so, looking at the strong resolution passed at the last meeting.—No amendment was, however, moved. STATE OF THE WOBKHOUSE.—The Visiting Committee reported that the Workhouse was in a satisfactory state, the number of inmates being 481. There were nine children who were fit to be removed to the Homes, which was ordered to be done.—John Richards, the male nurse, applied for a fortnight's le-ve of wbsence, which was granted on the motion of Mr. Edw. Roberts. THE COTTAGE HOMES.—Mr. Seymour Arthurs reported as under :—"I have visited the whole of the cottages, and find everything in order and clean. There are 104 children here, all well. A boy, 10 years ofaze, by the name of Wm. Mortimer, has been taken by Mr. Seth Phillips, ironmonger, Cwmbwria, on trial for a month. The girl, Martha Ann Hoare, has been given up to her father. Her mother left the Workhouse last Monday. Miss Forbes applies for 14 days' leave of absence, and it is recommended that it be granted. The oats are being cut to-day (August 22nd). The report was agreed to. LLANELLY V. SWANSEA.—After an inquiry in. stituted by tbe Local Government Board as to the removal of Loughor to the Swansea Union, it was decided in favour of Swansea. It appeared that Llanelly demurred to this, and another inquiry will take place into the matter in a few days at Llanelly. Mr. EJw. Rice Daniel, the chairman Mr. F. S. Bishop, chairman of the Sanitary Board, and the Clerk, Mr. Haynes, were appointed to attend the inquiry on behalf of the Swansea Bo-irds. This was all the public business1. 0

THE PRINCE OF WALES' YACHT. TWO OF HER CREW DROWNED, BRITANNIA'S ENGAGEMENTS CANCELLED. During a gale at Portland on Saturday night two of the crew of tne Prince of Wales's yacht Britannia, together with another yachtsman, were drowned. Tne men in question are John Simond, the mate, and Walter Roper the ship's caterer of the Britannia, and Charles Brookman, an engineer on board the yacht Majura. The two first named left the Britannia, which was in Portland Harbour, in the yacht's dingey, after- wards taking B.ookmau on board. Another yachtsman was asked to join the party, but declined, as the boat was too small. The men were last seen between ten and eleven o'clock at Castletown, aud it is supposed that they attempted to go to their yachts. The weather at the time was te-rific, there being a choppy sea and rain faLing in torrents, accompanied by thunder and lightning. It is supposed that a heavy squall must have capsized the boat, and that the occupants were drowned. On Sunday morning the craft was found bottom upwards, and nothing has since been heard of the men. The Prince of Wales has telegraphed to Captain Carter, of the Britannia, to scratch all engage- ineuts westward, owing to the sad event. ) MEETING OF THE SWANSEA 1 REGATTA COMMHTEE. A special meeting of this committee was held at the Guildtiall, on Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of taking into cousidetation the decision ot tae Prince of Wales to cancel all hi* engage- ments for this year. His Worship the Mayor (Cu1. Pike) presided, and there were also present: -Captain V. F. Smitu (hon sec.), Col. Mock. Messrs T. P. Mart n. J nu. Thomas (Town Clerk), James Jones, A,bert Ma^on, H. W. Hansard, J. Madge, Grnitti Thomas, s. P. Wills, J.Clarke liicnarason, C. A. Yignoles, Geo. Strick, G. B. Haynes. W. Maasel, & &c. The miuut-s of tne last meeting having been read and confirmed, His Wor.-hip said the object of that meeting was to lay before the committee the decision of the Prince of Aales and Mr. Gould respecting the racing of tneir yacnts in tiie Regatta. In conse- quence of a serious and deplorable calamity in which three x aluable lives were lost, the Prince of Wales had wired to the master of the Britannia to cancel ail engagements. The master of a sailing ves-el had very heavy responsibilities, and he (the Mayor) thought Captain Carter perfectly justified ;n recommending his Royal Highness to take such a course. It wa-i regiettaule to him to the tjwn of Swansea, and to the Principality in particular, that they should not have the pleasure of witnessing the race m Swansea this yeur, but on reflect,on, he thought it would be all for tue best, as ,t was tow sretting very late in the year and we might have dirty weather ao-ain But apart from that, they would have an oppor- tumty of getting tne race as a fixture when the yachts were going soutn after the C'.Jrk Regatta and they wouid have ample time to put the ma|ter before tue yachting world, so that it would be known w;;eu the ra :e would take place. His Worship then proposed a vote of condolence with the famil.es of the unfortunate officer and two men, one of the Britannia who WHe drovvned last week. The vote of condolence was passed in silence. The Mayor said he should like the uublic to know the interest he and the Committee had taken in the- matter, and he would therefore ask the secretary to read tne letters and the telegrams from tne start. In Swansea some people had prognosticated tnat such a race would not come off. Buc were it not for the unfortunate accident the race wouid certainly have come off. He felt sure thct, in the early part of next year, they would have some of the finest yajhts in the world racing. (Hear, hear.) The secretary then real the correspondence from beginning to end, the last letter being the following from Mr. Gould, the owner of the Vigilant:- On board the staam yacht "Atalanta. at Havre. "DEAR SIR, — I have postponed answering your letter jelative to a racv at Swansea until I could speak w.th certainty. I regret exceeding- ly I caunot see my way to sending ttie Vigilant to Swansea this fall, as I must racs about Sept. 9th from t ie Needles to Cherbourg and return, aud I mu-t leave siioitly after that for America. Re- gretting my inability, I am, truly yours, G. J. GOULD. To the Ma3Tir of Swansea." It WAS decided to leave the date of next year's regatta open. The next thing taken into consideration was what should be done with the subscriptions paid into tne tia;.k. The Mayor proposed that they should remain in the name of the Mayor, the Borough Treasurer, and the Secretary. Mr. T. P. Martin thought the subscribers should be consulted on the matter. Tne TiJwlJ Clerk said that those who had sub- scribed should be asked if they would allow their funds to retna. n in the hands of the Committee and those who had promised should be asked if they would allew their promises to remain good. It was eventually decided to send postcards to that effect, and tnat the subscriptions of those who answered in the affirmative should be placed ill the Bank Mr. S. P. Wills'proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor for alt he had done in the matter, and he hoped next year, if he was not Mayor, that he would see the realization of what he had so enterprisingly initiated this year. He was sure the whole of the meeting, and all the people who w bad subscribed, feit that the Mayor had not only done h s duty, but had gone outside and tried to lilt up Swansea. (Hear, hear.) Mr. James Jones seconded, and the vote of thanks was heartily accorded. The Mayor, in reply, expressed the hope that, whoever would be Mayor next year, he (Colonel Pike) would be appointed his lieutenant in the matter which they had been considering. He would do all he possibly could to bring it about next year. (Hear, hear.) The meeting then terminated.

S. Bishop presided, and the other members present were Messrs. W. Sim-, Richard Jenkins, Philm Richard, and W. J. Ket-s. The minutes ot the last meeting were read and confirmed. THE DOCTORS' REPORTS. Dr. Rice Morgan, reporting on the state of health in the districts of Swansea Higner, stated that there were tnirty births, equal to a rate of 33 2 per 1,000 and nine deaths, or 9'5 per 1.000 of the estimated population. Tne death rate compared favourably with that for July of 1893. Two deaths were cau-ed by diseases of the zymotic type. One child of tour years old, livino- in Llansamlet Higher, died from typhoid fever, another cnild, aged tweive months old, from lung mischief following measles. Seven cases of scariet fever ha I been notified in the district. Dr. Morgan also directed attention to two more cases of overcrowding, one in a noase infected with fever, and another at Soutnend. He suggested that the attention of the owners of the hou-es should be called to be nuisance, and the clerk was instructed to write accordingly. Dr. Trafford Mit-hull reported that, in the districts of Llandilo-Talybont and Swansea Higher, sixteen deaths had been registered m the montu of July, which was equal to 12'59 per thousand. The death rate for the corresponding montn of last year was 21'56. Whooping cough was responsible fur two of the deaths. The number of b.i ths was 29, or an annual rate of 22 82 per 1,000, last year's rate being 32'4. Twelve cases of scariet iever were notified during July,five of whicu occurred in Pontardulais, three in Park Hill-terraee, Ireboetn, and four at Cwmbath, near Cockett. Iu Pontardulais, how- the epidemic was over, and no fresh cases had been repoited. When he visited the infected house at Cwmbath, he found that ttie wails of the bedrooms were damp, that the front living room was below the level of the adjoining ground at the gable-end, and tnat in the winter time a stream of water often found its way through the floor. He suggested that ,.tpp.. should be taken to compel the owner to make the house fit for habita- tion. He would also suggest that the owner of a house m Woodvilie-terra;e. Tynyboue, Pontar- dulais, where a similar state of affairs prevailed should be communicated with. The doctor also directed attention to a nui-ance which existed near the Gorsemon Dr, 11 Hall, and sugg-ested that a pipe should be pla ed tm.-re to carry away dirty water. The woik could be done for £ 9. After a short discussion, it was agreed to fix the pipe, and the clerk was instructed to write to the owner of the defaulting houses. TRUANT SCHOOL WATER SUPPLY. Mr. Edwards. Master of the Truant School, attended the meeting ai d urged upon the Board the necessity of giving them a better supply of water at Bony m,ien.As the Swansea County Council owned the ngLt, over certain water in the neighbourhood, it was decided to make some arrangement with them. A letter from t,;e Local Government Board was read confirming t .e appo ntinent of Dr. Trafford Mitchell as Medical Officer of the Llandilo- Talybont district, m succession to Dr. Griffiths. This was ail the business of any interest

THE I REV. FATHER IGNATIUS | IX SWANSEA. JJ The cotagregations wtnch assembled at the Drill ilali Swansea on Sunday last, to hear the cele- brated Fmtbei- iijuaUuN O.S.B., have rarely been equalled in size, and it can with equal safety be said that tew preachers have created a deeper im- pression upon a Swansea audience. Tne cougreea tions consisted of adherents ot almost every slot and creed. Nonconformists and Ch u rcnuren Presbyterians and Catholics, and eveu Atheists, Sht side by side and seeded to forget all their dinerences. the garb of the ttev. Father was that of the Dominican Priesthood a ioug black hooded-gown a kuotted rope round the waist beads and crucihx suspended at the ieft SJde • and' sandalled feet. At 11 o'clock part of the mo'rnins service of the Church of England was golie tnrougto The VeniteHouv was sung, the Te Deum, the Jubilate, aud tbe Psalms oeiug read. Wtieii the Apostles Creed was reached the Rev. Father re- quested, as a special favour, that anyone who did not believe the Creed should not repeat it. Alter the first hymn an extempore prayer was offered up, and this was followed by another hymn and the address. The rev. father himself accompauied the hymns on an American orgau wnich was placed on the platform, Nearly every verse was nre- iJ"L ordj ol »dvice as to how it should be snug and with what object it was written and was followed by a short musical interlnue played with an exquisite softness of touch. Tile moi tiug iLLidress was on "The Devil in the Churches, aud the rev. lather drew a Con- trast between the caches of to-day aud the one Church of Christ. \ye might belong to the Churcb of Rome, to our dear oid National CbureD of Wales, or to the Calrinistic Methodist- or to the Bapists, and all the while not belong to the nh k "ffChrl!*t- He wlshed to bring that great Church before them because there was sucn aa enormous amount of discord among the Chuftkes and the longer they lived the more mess they seemed to be getting into. Three hundred and fatty years ago they shook off Church authority and now they had shaken off the Bible', authority and mistrusted the old evangelical communion*, and the descendants of the old Puritans and Covenanters had left their first love and did not believe in salvatiou through the blovd. The fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion were being abandoned by all the evangelical CCJUI- inanities, aud ministers were rejecting the teoclllnl of Jesus Christ for teaching in accordauce wnn Lbe spirit of the age. But tfce spirit of the a^e waa atheism, and with the aid of worldliuess aud un- belief, the devil was tryiug to de=:roy the Christian faith. Instead of briiigiug poor lost siuners to the salvation of Jefus Chrier the ministers gave them comic songs, P-civate theatricals, and all that sort of tlllug in tie Chapels. If the old Covenanters or the old Puritans were to rise from their graves they woUd not know the present day Congregatiou.ttt:)t!i. Tne rev. father went on to strongly denouuce concetta &c. in chapels, and in concluding said it C.aboliea and Protestants would put their churches in the background and put Jesus Christ in the front, there would be a mighty upheaval for liberty anQ joy in the hearts of poor lost sinners. In the afternoon the service was announced for children, but adults priubipally filled the hall and listened attentively to a stirring address. The evening service was conducted more upon the lines of Nonconformist worship. It opened with a hymn, followed by an exteuioore prayer, aud then tbe reading of the IV. chapter ot St. John. Father Ignatius read the Chapter with great expression, and, as if seized with a sudden thought, broke snort at the pass-ge in the 10th verse, "If thou kuewest the gift of GJJ," with the remark that is our subject for to-uight." The Doxology was then sung, aud after a short prayer the rev. father delivered an eloquent aud soul-stirring address, keeping his couglegation almost spellbound, and awaking a depth of sincere enthusiasm. Prefacing his remarks with an exhor- tation to his hearers to pray while he "hammered away on the platform," the rev, geniletnau set at naught the Ethics of Aristotle, the Dialogues of Plato, and the metaphysics of the old philosophers in that the reading of them could not give satis- faction to the siuuer. and upheld the teaching of Jesus Christ Come unto me and I will give yoa res as the doctrine which should be iuculcated in our minds to- JH-r. The service concluded with the-nging of the hymn Theie is a fountain filled with blood." Collections were tak-n Juring the day to defray expenses.

They got into a held, and both dratik of a bottle of laudanum. This uid not have t;;e de-ired effect, but it made them dazed, and while wandering about t'.n-y fell into a weedy ditch, and got s ;aked through wi:l; foul water.

A sad accident occurred on Sunday evenine at Tenby* Emily Carless (13), daughter of Dr. Carless, of Devizes, was with her brother (17), on the rocks beneath the esplanade at a spot known as Bacon's Hole, when she apparently fainted, and fell to the sands beneath, dislocating her neck, and dying a few minutes after removal to her lodgings. Miss Carless's mother and a crowd of visitors were on the esplanade when the sad affair happened. A French scientific journal draws attention to a scheme for damming the Irish Sea by a gteat "barrage" between the Mull of Cantyre and Antrim, where the depth is only some 300ft. to 500ft. in order to get unlimited water-power from I the tides for utilisation by electricity after the manner of Niagara. It is estimated that a dam of The kind could be built in three or four years.
