SWANSEA BOWLER'S BENEFIT. LLANELLY ELEVEN PLAY AT ST. HELEN'S. DELIGHTFUL WEATHER: GILL IN FORM WITH THE LEATHER. INDIFFERENT BATTING BUT AN INTERESTING MATCH. ALL WHITES SECURE THEIR SECOND VICTORY. The third match between Swansea and Lianelly took place at the St. Helen's ground, Swansea, on Saturday. The wea- ther was fine although the sky was a little overcast at times. Of the previous matches played this season both teams won one each, Lianelly winning at Swansea by 78 runs, whilst the latter won at the down ine town by the small margin of eight runs. The Swansea team was much stronger than the one that suffered defeat at Llandovery. R. H. Johnson, J. G. Ardaseer, Bancroft and Creber taking their places. The Lianelly side was a fairly strong one, al- though they lacked the services of Will Davies, the smart wicket-keeper, who has left the team. Included in the side was Ernest Gee, of Gowerton, who has distin- guished himself in the two previous match- between the clubs. The present occasion was the match selected by Gill, the Swansea junior professional, as the one for his annual benefit. Wickets were pitched at 11.45. TbeM was a good attendance when Hugh Howel] and John Howell commenced for Uaneily half an hoar late, Swansea having jo*t the toes. Creber and Gill shared tae bowling, and the former's opening over proved a a-ajden. With only seven on the board, John Howell was bowled by Creber, who was trundling well—7—1—2. Barclay became associated with John HoweH. but the pair found runs most difficult to get. Hugh Howell then made a drive to mid-off, off Creber, but Bancroft, who was fielding there, prevented any addition to the score by smart fieiding. In Gill's succeeding over, Hugh Howell, who did not seem to be at all comfortable, was bowled after making six, the telegraph reading—13—2—6. This was not by any means an auspicious start, for two of Lianelly's most reliable batsmen had been got rid of. Ernest Gee joined Barclay and broke his duck by a stroke past point for a couple. A few minutes later he survived an appeaJ for L b. w. off Gill, but in the next ball he was given out, failing to survive the this time. Three wickets were now down for the miserable total of 15. Percy Rees filled the vacancy, and Barclay made Sis presence felt by adding a couple to the low total. His partner then got a couple by placing Gill nicely to leg, and things promised to improve a little. Creber was varying the length of his deliveries, and this mizzled the batsmen to a great extent, vhilet Gill bowled up to his Llandovery form. Twenty was hoisted after forty min- utes' play, this being slow scoring indeed. Another single was addoed to the total by Barclay, who got one to leg off Creber. Ban- croft was next prominent through some smart fielding, and things seemed to brighten when Percy Rees opened his shoulders to the bowiew, and runs were coming a little faster. With the 30 up R. H. Johnson went on to bowl vice Gill. The first boundary of the match teii to the lot of Percy Rees, who just tipped a ball from Creber on the leg-side, and 40 was sent up. A moment later Barclay did exactly the same thing for a like iMnonnt. These couple of strokes had an effect both on the batsmen and fielders, for the play all round was LOM keen. When the luncheon interval arrived the total stood at 51 for the low of three wickets. Percy Rees had got his 21 runs in quick time, only two singles being in his total up to tha ad- journment. When play was resinned after lunch, the attendance had increased, but did not quite react anticipations. Gill went on to bowl ▼ice Johnson, and his opening over was a naaideai. Percy Rees added to his total by a IÐoe leg hit, which went to the bonaetaiy. When the score stood at 68, and with has individual score at 19, Barclay, who had played a patient innings, sent a. wball back to Gill, and Fred Rees, the Lianelly captain, joined Percy of that ilk. The latter was playing with more care than before lunch. The Lianelly captain broke his duck by snicking Gill for a coupLe, and he later drove the same bowler for one. Fred Rees was not playing tip to his reputation, and he was beaten by the bowlers on more than one occasion. The cricket up to this stage had been far below the standard of the two pre- vious matches. Fred Rees, in attempting to •wipe Creber, was clean bowled, has contri- bution being 4—73—5—4. Claude Warner filled the vacancy caused by his captain's dir-nissal. The attendance at this stage 11am- bered about 300. The new batsman was not there long, however, before he lost Percy Rees, who fell a victim to Gill, who dismissed him with a good length ball. There was no addition to the total—73—6—34. W. H. Davies then joined Claude Warner. Creber's following over was a maiden. The new bats- man was nearly beaten by Gill twice in suc- cession, and the Swansea pro. was now trand- ling at his best. Claude Warmer then got a boundary on the leg side off Creber. His partner, however was not at all at home to Gill's bowling, and he had several close abaves. W. H. Davies then improved a little, and hit Creber for a couple. When 80 was telegraphed, P. Morris was given a turn at the trundling, and off the third ball W. H. Davies got another two by skying tha ball into the country. Dr. Cameron also took a tarn at the bowling, going on vice Gill, who up to this stage had taken four of the wickets. Dr. Cameron's second ball CTande Warner placed to leg for a sdmgie, whilst the next one his partner skied into deep field, but J. G. Ardaseer failed to take the catch, which was apparently an easy one. In too next over Dr. Cameron also missed an easy chance in the slips by War- ner 011 Percy Morris. When the score stood at 93, W. H. Davies was given out Lb.w., and Phil Waller joined Claude Warner. Uanelly's tail end did not do much, and the innings closed at 3.45. With only just over 100 to get and hav- ing 2-2 boors to get. them in, it looked as if Swansea did not have a very hard task before them- Stanley Rees and Bancroft opened the homester's innings, but Rees was out in the ofst over lbw to Gee. Percy Morris joined Bancroft, but he fell a victim to Barclay, after only a few minutes' stay at the wickets. With 11 on the board Bancroft was bowled by Gee, the outgoing batsman having made all the runs him- self. This was an exceedingly bad start. E. W. Jones and H. A. Ellis got together after J. G. Ardaseer had been dismissed, and the pair got a few runs, but when the total reached 41 H. A. Ellis was bowled by Light—41-5-14. R. H. Johnson iomed E. W. Jones, who was doinjr a little better than the others, having 20 to his credit, when Johnson became associated with him. The pair added runs prettv freely after this I and at quarter past 8 five the Lianelly total was passed, the necessary number of runs having taken just over an hour to get. Johnson shortly afterwards was caught in the deep field by F. L. Rees. The out- going batsman had scored his runs at a greater pace than is customary for him. Dr. Cameron filled the vacancy but lost E. W. Jones, who was auoht by Bancroft, who was fielding as sub. for Jo'hn RoweIl who had retired, having injured his leg. The Swansea skipper met with a. good re- ception on his return to the pavilion. J. 7. Horspool then joined Dr. Cameron. LLANELLY. John Howell, b C-aber 2 Hugh Howell, b Gill 6 E.

LLANELLY II. V. SWANSEA II. Played at Stradey on Saturday in fine weather before a fair attendance. A start was not made until 3.30, when Llanelly, winning the toss, went in first, A. Randell and Clatworthy facing the bowling of Pnt- chard and Harry Nicbolls. Pritchard's opening over produced nine runs. A Han- dell waus caught by Billings off Nicholls' third ball—9—1—5. Burns followed, acd ruM came slowly for a while. Burns na<i a narrow escape from being run out when ten was signalled. Both batsmen scored a couple of singles off Pritchard's rext over- I Twenty was telegraphed after twenty cain- utes' play. Hill and Trew were fielding well and saved many runs for their 3* do- Nicholls then found his way to Clatworthy s middle stump—28—2—13. The retiring batsman had played a steady innings. Tom i»Randell joined Burns and sent Nicholas to the boundary, and the 30 went up at 5.55. Pritchaid made a good attempt to catch Randell off his own bowling, but just misled, Runs then came a little faster, Burns in particular showing good -ricxet. Swansea now made a double change in the bowling, Billings and Humphreys going on with very successful results. They captured the remaining seven wickets for a small total, and the whole side were out at 4.55 for 82, five of the batsmen failing to score. L-LAJN J*; LJ_, I II. A.

ELLEN TERRY. COVENTRY'S WELCOME: BRIGHf I SPEECH. Miss Ellen Terry received a ci\i^ welcome at Coventry on Saturday, lunching with the Mayor and Corporation. She was subse- quently presented by the Corporation with a.1 illuminated address, in which she was welcomed as representing the ideal in histri- onic art. In reply Miss Terry said she had n: ver done anything for Coventry except beiii.i born there—an event which she seemed t-c have muddled, as sin was credited with two birthplaces!

CARMARTHEN MORALITY ATTACKED.
CARMARTHEN MORALITY ATTACKED. GRAVE CHARGES BY CANON CAMBER WILLIAMS. The Lord Bishop of St. David's presided over a well-attended meeting' held in con- nection with the rescue work done at the Diocesan House of Mercy, near Swansea, at the Carmarthen Guildhall on Friday. Vicar of Oystermuoth, who is the secre- tary and chaplain, gave an interesting ac- count of the work accomplished. The home was worked on economical lines, and the mother superior and the sisters gave their services free. They did not conduct the institution like a Poplar Workhouse. The vicar added that JE800 was urgently re- quired to pay off the balance of mortgage on the homes. Mrs Pugh Evans, who takes a great per- sonal interest, made an appeal for the pro- motion of purity. Canon Camber Williams said he could not help thinking that there were two things sadly lacking in the homes of Car- marthen, namely, discipline and religion, and he attributed the present condition of things to parental indifference as to the care of their children. The home near Swansea was a standing protest against the material pessimism of Christian people to- wards immorality. He was sorry to find that prostitution was op the increase in Carmarthen, and that there was an im- mense and terrible increase in the sin of impurity. They could see this any night if they walked through the streets. Speak- ing generally be said that there were, he was sorry to say, hundreds of little girls who were .going fast down the road that would end in sin and sham unless some in- tervention took plaoe. This was largely the result of parental neglect and indifference. It was the duty (he went on) of the Church to see that these terrible wounds were healed. They would press for purity in the homes, purity of word, and purity of literature, and urged parents to speak to their children on the sins of impurity. This condition of things had to be faced at once, otherwise affairs would get into a shocking state. A good number of those who had fallen into the sin of inlpuritv attributed their position to what they had heard and learnt at home when children. Although it seemed harsh, parents should be made to correct their children. REV. FULLER MILLS' REPLY TO THE CANON. At Carmarthen on Sunday, Rev. Fuller Mills referred to Canon Camber Williams' statement as to morality in the borough Mr. Milk declaring" the condition of Car- marthen better than it was fifteen years ago. "The slander of a town," he went on "is as bad as the slander of an individual. It was done for a purpose. It was to reflect upon the activity of the clergy, and to put in a bad light the work of Nonconformist ministers. I don't believe a word of wha* be said." '—

-.or TUMBLE POLICE STATION RIOTS EXTRAORDINARY ACCOUNT TOLD LLANELLY COURT. DEFENDANTS' SOLICITOR PROTESTS TO THE BENCH. The hearing of cases arising out of the riot at Tumble, were resumed at Lianelly on Saturday. Mr. Richards appeared for the police; Mr. Ludford defended. John Henry, Thomas Lewis, Henry L. Evans, David Morgarl and Thomas James, Tumble, were charged with damaging the house of P.S. Lewis. The following weri proceeded against on charges of rescuing prisoners' and riotously disturbing the public peace John Henry, Thomas Lewis. Henry L. Evans, Thomas James, Benjamin Perkins, Richard Lloyd, David Morgan, John Jonef;, William Jonts, Rees Davies, David Wil. liams and William Brazel all of Tumble. Perkins, who is an army man, appeared in the uniform of the Welsh Regiment. Mr. Ludford said he bad 25 fitnesses for the defence. *3^ Mr. Richards said the riot occurred in the village on Saturday evening, June 16. All defendants took part. The object was to rescue two prisoners, in which defendants were successful. There was no train ser- vice or telephone, and the police, for some mysterious reason, were unable to _t a trap. When the police failed to get com- munication with Uaneily they were hooted and hustled. Stones were thrown soon after nine o'clock, and at ten there was not a whole window left in the front cf the house. The crowd then went to the back and smashed all the windows. The police released the prisoners and the crowd dispersed. P.S. Lewis said he arrested Thomas and David Howells. Later someone threw a pint measure at the window. P.C. Jen- kins was only a yard away. There was a crowd of 200 to 300 hooting, and it con- tinued to increase up to ten o'clock. Stones were thrown through the windows. Wit- ness went out at 10.20, accompanied by his son, David, and advised the men to go home quietly. They hooted and shouted. All the defendants were in the crowd. There was a shooting gallery near the house and the road was well lighted, so that identifi- cation was easy. He was near enough to touch several of the men. Benjamin Per- kins and John Henry made a rush for his wife. Witness tripped up Perkins when he was about to strike her. John Henry then struck her in the face. He subsequently saw the men remove the garde gate and throw it against the bay window, breaking the centre sash. He could easily distin- guish the voices of some of the men. After returning to the house and speaking to the prisoner he came out to the front. The prisoner and himself advised the crowd to stop the stone-throwing. They then made a rush and fearing that they would take the prisoner away he closed the door. A stone was then thrown through the parlour window a,nd struck him on the thigh. John Henry, Thomas Evans, and Henry Evans threw some of the largest stones through the window. Richard Lloyd was busy in the crowd and appeared to be directing operations. When the attack was made at the back he feared that the whole house would be demolished, and released the prisoners. There were 16 stones in the front bedroom. Mr. Brodie said only 12 stones were pro- duced. Witness did not know what had become of the others. They had been in the ens- todv of the hall-keeper. The stone weighea 751bs. 751bs. During croee- eaorination Mr. Lndford took exception to a remark made by Sergt. Lewis, and said that the police oflioer should not answer in that way. Mr. Trubshaw said he did not think any- thing was said that ootid be objected to. Mr. Ludford: I do. Mr. Trubshaw: You are not entitled to talk in that way when addressing the Bench. Mr. Ludford: I again submit that the I policeman made a remark that was quite un- called for. A little later Mr. Ludford asked if he would shorten the cases were he to decide that the men. should go for trial Mr. Trubshaw: No. We shall have to hear the eviaenoe all the same. Mr. Ludford: I think it is of very little use my cro-ss-exayninmg witness. Your worships eeem to think that I am not cross- examining properly. Mr. Tnjbshaw: There is no suggestion of the kind. We want the evidence quite clear. Mr. Ludford said it was difficult for him to go on. He had twelve men to defend, and was not allowed a free liand. Mr. Trubshaw said the Bench had not yet made up their minds as to whether the cases should go for trial. He thought that was mature consideration, and thought Mr. Ludford should withdraw the remarks. Mr. Ludford said that he oould only go on with considerable difficulty. It seemed to him as if the Bench were of opinion that a strong case had been made out, and that could only be upset with difficulty. After considerable further evidence the proceedings were adjourned until Saturday next.
WOMAN'S CLAIM TO THE VOTE.
WOMAN'S CLAIM TO THE VOTE. LADY'S ELOQUENCE ON SWANSEA I SANDS. Swansea Sands were enlivened on Friday evening by the eloquence of Miss Isabella Ford. National Executive, I.L.P. Miss Ford, a lady of considerable talent and linguistic ability, attends all inter- national women's congresses, and acts as French and German interpreter. She urged that factory work was destroy- ing home life, and that it was eesential women should take an interest in politics. She, amid much applatjse, justified the action recently taken in London by Miss Billington, Miss Kenny, and Mrs. Parik- huret. They had come to the conclusion that only by women getting voting powers themselves would anything be done to re- move these evils, and eecuie many much- aeeded reforms. She pointed out that not until women were given the vote in New- Zealand were old age pensions and other reforms obtained in that country. "When you men had 110 vote," said Miss Ford, in a notable sentence, "you pulled down Hyde Park railings. We women can't do that; we are not strong enough, bat we will do what damage we can."
REINFORCED CONCRETE MAINS.
REINFORCED CONCRETE MAINS. ARTICLE BY THE SWANSEA BOROUGH ENGINEER. The current number of "Concrete and Con- structional Engineering" contains an excel- lent article by Mr. R. H. Wvrill, M. Inst. C.E., on "Reinforced Concrete Watennains" —as are now being laid down from Town Hill service reservoir—and an editorial note says:— "Whilst in other countries the practica- bility and economy of the reinforced 000n- crets main has long been proved, we have apparently only recently awakemed to its great advantages, and it is with great plea- sure that we now present an article on this important subject from the pen of thte water works engineer to the borough of Swansea, which borough should be congratulated upon the manner in which it has broken away from the general policy of conservatism in these matters in order to apply a system of con- struction that is economical and scientifically sound." Mr. WyriM says the mam points of value in reinforced concrete as applied to the manu- facture of water mains are (1) its strength and (2) the fact that if steel is well sur- rounded bv cement, the metal is absolutely protected for a very long period. It is on record that a bar of iron after bom embedded in concrete for about 400 years was perfecUy preserved, but the borough engineer says of the ordinary cast uron pipe that he has se^en a 4-inch main entirely choked after 35 years' use; a 6-inch main nearly cboked after 45 years, and 9-Mich and 12-indh pipes reduced in internal diameter by 3 to 4 inches. Reinforced concrete water mains, Mr. Wyrill concludes, may with confidence be 1 used for high pressure, and will in future :ompete with cast-iron and steel water mams 'or all sixes larger than 18 inches diameter, ■ md the greater the diameter the more pro- i ninent its advantages become. 1
---.-THE SHIP WENT- DOWN.
THE SHIP WENT- DOWN. SWANSEA CHIEF MATE AS EYE- WITNESS. CREW LANDED EXCITING STORY The steamer Courier, of London, laden with stone from Carnarvon, struck on a dangerous reef near Linney Head, off Mil- ford Haven, on Friday, foundering in about an hour after striking. The ill-fated steamer was of 600 tons burthen, and car- ried a, crew of ten hands. The skipper was a Welshman, but the majority of the crew hailed from London. It appears that the captain had only gone below a little time, leaving his son, who was chief omcer, in charge. The sea was smooth and the sky clear at the time of the disaster. The crew at once had the lifeboat out, and they barely had time to save their belongings before the steamer began to settle down. The boat then put off and made for Mil ford Haven. The ketch Sultan, of Barnstaple, with culm, from Burry Port to Solva, seeing the ill-fated steamer in distress, bore down upcn her and took aboard the crew, and cruised around a little time, when at last the Courier made a lurch and foundered. The Sultan transferred the crew to the Mil. ford trawler Spry, which landed them at Milfo-rd Haven. The Courier had only lately undergone extensive repairs, and we understand she was fully insured.

SWANSEA TELEGRAPH LADS.
SWANSEA TELEGRAPH LADS. EXHIBITIONS OF RIFLE AND AMBC- LANCE DRILL. The annual meeting of the Swansea T-le- praph Messengers' Institute, held at -be Shaftesbury Hall on Friday evening, was attended by 50 boys—the total of the mes- sengers in Swansea is 56—and a full house of parents and friends. The Mayor presid- ed, and supporting him were Mrs. Morgan B. Williams, Dr. Horatio Rawlings, Messrs. Joseph Hall, J.P., C. H. Perkins, A. El Taylor (postmaster), G. Howell (chief clerk), C. Desmond (superintendent of telegraphs), and E. L. Johns (Swansea). The report stated the institute had been in existence for nine years, its objects oeiag to promote efficiency and to benefit the mes sengeis by cultivating their intelligence. Educat-ional classes were conducted on three nights a week by Mr. J. E Jenkins, assisted by Messrs. F. Garland and J. W. Howard. Report of Board of Education on the -j •«; of last season had been: "The lessons are eminently practical and useful." A sub- stantial grant had been earned. ¿ he am bulance class, conducted bv Dr. Horatio Rawlings, was another valuable feature of the institution. The Drum, Fife, and B:ig'e Band had come into prominence during the year. Thanks to the Postmaster-Gene"a', arrangements were in hand for estabiisning a miniature rifle range at the Swansea Post Office. Last Christmas the boys were pro- vided with tea and a punch and judy show. The committee recorded their gratitude to the department for the means of carryuig on the institute, which was in a sound condi- tion and growing in usefulness Prizes for attendance, general good con- duct, proficiency at drill, and civility in de- livering telegrams, and general efficiency, were distributed to the following by lhe Mayor:—First prize, B. T. Rees ::nä if. G. Morris; second prize, W. J. Havard (and monitor's prize), C. A. Griffiths, ii. ,i. Bevan, and A. Hart; third prire, 0. J. Evans, E. J. Martin, A. P. Johns, D. B. Williams*, R. L. Brown*, W. D. Thomas, W. G. Tayior*, I. J. Radcliffe*, T. Hill, R. J. Webber, R. G. Coode, A. W. Hayward, P J. Bishop, and C. G. Sanders (* den ir<»s ambulance certificate also). Ambutaace oertincates, Sydney Bevan, Geotge E. Cox David J. Richards (and monitor's rize). The Mayor referred to the benefits the boys were receiving, and said that in tnsse democratic days the lads had largely the shaping of their own careers. Some of oheni might rise to very high positions. The Hon- our conferred on Sir John Jones Jenkins, a self-made man, showed that nothing was impossible. The lads gave exhibitions of rifle and am- bulance drills and gymnastic exercises, jn their vaulting exercises the lads were un- doubtedly clever, and their smartness in bandaging their comrades for broken jail, dislocated arm, thigh, etc., left nothing 10 be desired. Mr. Joseph Hall, J.P-, proposed thanks to the Postmaster-General for the interest taken in the institute. This was seconded by Mrs. Morgan B. Williams, who made t.h-< speech of the evening by inviting the boys tJ her house for games and tea. Mr. C. H. Perkins proposed vote ot thanks to Dr. Horatio Rawlings, as ambu- lance instructor, for services freely given. Mr. Desmond seconded.

SEVERE SHOCKS FELT ON FRIDAY
SEVERE SHOCKS FELT ON FRIDAY A correspondent telegraphs that an earth- quake shock of considerate forco was felt at Bangor shortly after 3 o'clock on Friday morning. Dr. Grey Edwards was awakened by a dull scratching noise and a violent wave- 11 like motion of his bed. He turned the lights on and found it was 3.15. Mr. Edmonds, Farrar-road, Bangor, had a similar experi- ence. The doctor said the shock seemed to pa-s from south-west to north-east. It will be remembered that two shocks were felt at Croydon at 2.30 in the morn- ing. An explanation of its origin is supplied by a correspondent, who writes:—It is not generally known outside the geological world that a huge rift ih the strata occurs from Llandilo to the Monmouthshire liiOs. This in the coalfield is known as the Merthyr Church fault, from the fact that its action in the dislocation of coal scorns '(51)" and "down throw" is more pronoavad there than in any other part.

SKEWEN COLLIER,S DEATH IN A PIT. POSTMORTEM EXAMINATION TO BE HELD. SUGGESTED EFFECTS OF THE EARTHQUAKE. At Skewen on Saturday an inquest was held on the bodv of Arthur Davies (37), collier, Penbryn .street, who died at Seven Sisters pit on Thursday. Evidence of identification was given by a brother, who said that deceased left a widow and one child. He had been working at the pit for two or three weeks. Dr. EVBTO found decoloration at the shoulders and lower part of the back. Coroner Can vou account for death ?— No sir, I can't. r Ytm ut--n..lly to- suggest to your mind the .cause of dea>.h ?—Nothing. William Nathaniel Smith, oollier, Park- street, Skewen, said deceased seemed all right before they went down the pit, <md did- ( n't complain. Before witness found deceased lying on the ground the fireman and over- man had visited the stall. A few seconds previously deceased's lamp came towards him as if it were thrown, and then he hea-d a groan. The latter was on his knees, his hands hanging dow" in a loose way, and his head drooping forward. He wa." alive, but could not speak. Half a minute before he Lsaw the lamp coming towards him there 'hod been a fall. Charles Warren shouted "Are you right, Arthur?" and deceased re- plied "So far so good." Directly aftor- wards witness hoard the groan close to where, there had been a slight bIt and de- ceased's cap was under it.

Smith, and the relatives by Mr. James (of Messrs. Dd. Randell, Saunders a.nd Davies.)
PASSENGER STEAMER "BRIGHTON."
PASSENGER STEAMER "BRIGH- TON." DIRECTORS COMPLAIN OF MALIC- IOUS MISREPRESENTATIONS. WHAT THE COMPANY SPENDS AT SWANSEA. ■st- Mr. J. Probert, Swansea, a director of the p.s. Brighton Steamship Co., writes The directors of the passenger steamer Brighton have for some time borne with a patient shrug the malicious and unwarrant- a.ble misrepresentations made in referenoe to the company being what is reported a "Bristol Company," and that all repairs are done, and stores, provisions, etc., sup- plied from Bristol. An untruth—if it has a good lead—is, like a stern chase, difficult I to overtake, and as a Swansea director of the company, I have induced my co-direc- tors to agree to my publishing a few figures to disprove the incorrect statements made to the prejudice of the company. Pockett's dompany paid at Swansea for the year ending, 1905, £ 5,981 16s. lid. %) B. G. Labour and wages 2,118 0 0 Rent, port charges & rates 1,034 0 0 Repairs 1,256 0 0 Printing, advertising, stores, provisions, water, gas, horse hire, etc. 1,579 16 11 f =65,9811611 When this company bought the concern some 14 years ago, the Velindra was the only passenger boat at the service of the public with a certificate to carry 250 pas- sengers, subsequently the company cur- chased the Brighton which cost, after alter- ations and putting her in a first class con- dition to pass the, Board of Trade, and to be classed "A1 at Lloyd's," £13,000, and during 1904 the company enlarged the deck saloon and promenade deck, and provided a ladies' cabin on deck, at a further cost of JB2,000, and so re-axrangod the accommoda- tion to obtain a Board of Trade certificate for 857 passengers. There a-re at Swansea two directors, and besides shareholders holding a substantial interest. As a matter of fact the number of shareholders in Swansea and other parts of the country are more than in Bristol. It is not usual for companies to lay such particulars before the public, but after all this company, like all other carrying con- oems, depends upon the public fcr their interest and support, and the directors are anxious to disabuse the minds of their sup- porters and the public in general, of the malicious wrong that is being done them and the shareholders. By inserting this in your paper yori will confer a favour on co-directors and myself.
EGYPTIAN OUTRAGE.
EGYPTIAN OUTRAGE. PUBLIC PUNISHMENT. FLOGGING AND HANGING. (Reuter Special Telegram.) Cairo, Thursday.—The four natives wh3 were condemned to death for the murder of Captain Bull and the attack on other British officers were hanged to-day. Six others convicted of complicity were flogged. Captain Machell, adviser to the Egyptian Minister of Interior, selected the place close to the road where the executions were to take place, and a space 60 yards by 30 was roped in, the gallows and whipping-post being erected in the centre. The prisoners arrived at half-past 1 o'clock. One man was first hanged, and left hanging while the others were being whipped. Another was then banged, and two were whipped. The remaining two men sentenced to death were next hanged and the other cul- prits were flogged. Troops were posted round the enclosure, and hundreds of natives stood in a wide circle 200 yards distant. The Women wailed dismally as the lash was applied and the prisoners were hanged. All the condemned met their death calmly, but the flogging drew forth groans and cries from the native fellahs. The execution was over at half-past 4.
SWANSEA THEATRE THEFTS.
SWANSEA THEATRE THEFTS. CONVICTED PAINTER'S THREAT. At Swansea on Saturday, Owen Saunders7 painter, Fisher-street, was chargcd with breaking into the Star Theatre, and stealing a trousers, waistcoat, and muffler, other garments, and eleven cartridges, value 10s., the property of J. P. Lallen. Detective Morris said he went to the Theatre early on Thursday morning, and at 5.30 heard someone in the gentleman's dressing-room. Defendant came down and made his way to the ladies' dressing-room. "What are you doing here?" witness asked. "Just having a look round, I didn't oome here to steal anything," defendant replied. At the police-station, defendant was searched, and found to be wearing all the articles produced, except the cartridges. When charged on Saturday morning, defen- dant replied, Lallen is his name, isn't it? He goes by two names, then." Defendant, asked if he was gtdlty, re- plied, "I'm not guilty of actually stealing." He said he had only borrowed the articles and meant to take them back. It didn't amount to theft. Detective Morris said defendant had been once convicted of stealing two rings, aCid had once been wandering about in an unsound state of mind. Defendant said that for the last twelve mon-ths he had not broken the laws of God or of man. Bench sentenced him to a month's hard labour. Defendant: Without the option of a fine? Mr. Walters Your record precludes the option of a fine. Defendant, as he went below, cried out,, Mr. Jones, you wait till I come ont!" The threat was assumed to be meant for the clerk. A charge of stealing a necktie, collar, and another article, value As. in all, was not gone into.
SWANSEA TRAMS AND HIGHGATE…
SWANSEA TRAMS AND HIGH- GATE PERILS. REASSURANCES FROM MR. DAVID JAMES. LIGHTER CARS AND BRAKES OF THE BEST. The Higligge,. tramdimater has.pogeaidered a feeling of on the part soma of the carLfra veiling pubHc of -Swansea, but Manager David James and tie Tramways Company's engineer (Mr. A. Johnston) as- sured a "Daily Post" reporter recently that there was no cause for alarm. The chat took place at the depot, and our representative learnt that Swansea does not run such heavy-weight cars as they have in London.
