DESTRUCTIYE FIRE AT BUIIIIY PORT. FOUR ROUSES GUTTED. DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT £ 3,000. NARROW ESCAPE OF INMATES. SMART WORK BY THE LLANELLY BRIGADE. A r)rivate toiera' in to the Ilost states tha? a disastrous fire broke out at Burry Port ths (Monday; morning. Four houses have been gutted, and ouiy the bare walls remain standing. Our Llanelly representative telegraphing later, states:—Last (SundayJ evening, Burry Port was thrown into a state of wild excite- ment over an enormous fire, which broke out in the centre of the town in a b:g block of buildings occupied by Messrs. K. J Arthur, ironmonger, John Rees, boot and shoe manufacturer, J. Badger, draper, and Leon rd, coffee house keeper. It appears that the outbreak occurred about a quarter past seven, for at 7.20 a Mrs. Snook, who keeps a targe confectionery establishment opposite, heard a crackling sound, and oil looking into the street saw smoke and flames issuing from Mr. Arthur's shop. Just at the same moment P.C. George arrived on the scene, and at once smashed in the front door, and succeeded in interming the inmates ot the upper part of the building of their danger. With the greatest difficulty Mrs Arthur and her children descended the staircase intending to coma out through the front door into the street, but the smoke was so thick aDd the heat 89 seoreii'.ng tian'. tiiis ivas iinl;o,,isi) I -)Ie. llapl)ily they were able to get out at the rear. In the meantime tho fire had spread rapidly and the whole of the ground floor was like a iierv furnace. Having got tiie iniiiatc-a safely out of the houie, P.C. George rushed to the telephone and summoned the L!anelly Fire Brigade, and then ule the best of his way to Messrs Elliott's metal works at Burry Port for the eugice, which is kept there. Help was soon obtained, and the engine was immediately run out, arAl arrived on the scene within a vtry .>rt tiiae of the outbreak. By this time a big crowd had assembled, for the reflection was I showing,' the whole of Mr. Arthur's premises being alight from top to botton. Seeing that it was no good toattempt to save these premises, the attention of those who manned the engine was directed towards attempting to save the surrounding premises, for by this time Mrs Hees' shop had caught fire. Seeing that there was small hope of saving the building, attempts were made to save the stock, It is reported that in this particular the crowd displayed the most callous behaviour many of them refusing to lend a helping hand. Pairs of boots are stated to have vanished. One thing at least is certain, viz., that of the stocK saved last evening not all is to he f ourid to-dav, aud the police have found several pairs ef boots in an eiapty truck on the G rea. Western Railway, where it is supposed they were temporarily deposited by would-be puriainers. ARRIVAL OF THE BRIGADE. Shortly after e:ght o'clock the rattle of horses' hoofs were heard, and the Llaneilv Fire Brigade and their engine rattled up in fine style style, 'j he celerity which they had displayed in arriving so soon is worthy of all praise. It was just 7.30 when they received the first intima- 'I tion of the fire, and the men were hastily summoned. Seventeen minutes tliced to eavor tle four njile,3 between 18U Liancily tn(i l?urry Port. The Llanellv engine was at once got into position, and in a vtiv short space of time a big stream of water was directed on to the burning buildings, which at this period presented a grand but terrible sight. Despite the huge quantity of wafer poured into the building the. fire tor home time showed no sign 8C diminution, and all four buildii)iz.i. were now burning. Eventually, however, the flames cave out, and were naastereu after three hours' hard work* At about ii;ne o'clock the heat was so ^reat that it was impossible to stand opposite the burning houses, aud the shulcers of Mr Smith's shop on the ether side of the roaii blistered and began to char. It was feared that there would be an outbreak here aise, and Messrs Elliot s workmen devot.ed their energy to pouring water on the front of the house to cool i. The glass in nearly all the top windows in Mrs Snook's house cracked with the tremendous heat. Luckily there was no wind, or the result must have been disas- trous in the extreme. As it was, the fire assumed big propert:ons, and caused the greatest excitement and consternation net only in the town but for miles around, for the reflection in the sky was visible from a long distance off. AT THE SCENE. This morning crowds of people have visited the scene oi last night's conflagration, and the ruiu3 are still smouldering, two jsiembers of the Llanelly fire- brigade being still on the spot to prevent any further outbreak among the smouldering debris. The damage is esti- mated at about £ 3.CG0, most of which is, however, happily covered by insurance. The greatest praisa is due to Mr Thcnaas, chemist, for Ins efforts towards getting under the flames with his manual j engine, and to Mr Snoak and others for iheir loan e-f buckets, -vhieli, sa,j ou reporter, the crowd dist)laved the gr"ZL unwillingness to use, 3

SWANSEA GENTLEMAN MISSING. ANXIETY CONCERNING A PROMI- NENT HAFOD OFFICIAL. For a week past it has been common know- ledge throughout Swansea that the where* abouts of Mr, Henry Taylor, manager ot Messrs. Vivian and Sons' collieries, who resides in Bryn road, has been a mystery to his friends, All the facts were in the possession of repre- sentatives of the Post several days ago, but in deference to the wishes of the friends of Mr Taylor and of others concerned we re- trained from making allusion to the matter. Indeed, as recently as this (Monday) ruorniug their request for silence for a few days longer was repeated. Now, however, the information that Mr. Taylor is missing has become public property, and we may state wiiat are the fitets. Throe weeks age Mr. Taylor, who is about 60 years of age, pre- ceeded to Cardiff and Weston-super-Zvlare on a holiday tour which was to extend over a fortnight. Nothing lias siuce been heard of him, and ali efforts to trace his luggage have likewise failed. At the end of last weeit Messrs Vivian aud Co., having waited for a weak over the stated period of leave decided to have the missing gcntlemun's safe at the works drilled opeu, chiefly bccause certain books placed therein were required. No discoveries of an unpleasant nature, however, are anticipated as tne result of the investigation when it shall have been completed. It is sincerely hoped and believed that. all wiii yet come right, but I there is no purpose to be served by disguising the fact that considerable apprehensions are now entertained as to ih fate which may have overtaken Mr. Taylor, who, though a keen, quiet business- z.aaii liai net eii I .joyed the mo?,* robust liegith recenjy, and who if alive and well, was not likely to ielt his friends so long without in tciligence as to his aiGveinents and inten- tions.

SWANSEA MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. VICTORIA WARD. THREE CANDIDATES NOMINATED. | Noininations were receivoci by tile Town- .,71 C:Ier'? 'I'Mr Jotiii on ',Iattirdav f candidates far the vacancy in the Victoria Ward caused by tho retirement from the council of Mr David Jones. The following were nominated ;— Dr KNIGHT, St. Keleu's-road. Mr PI. J. MORRIS, secretary of the Salisbury Club. Mr A. BOW LES, wheelwright and assistant secretary of the Trades Council. WITHDRAW AL OF A CANDIDATE. ANOTHER DISQUALIFIED. His Worship the Mayor of Swansea sat at the Guild-hail this (Monday) afternoon Irom two to four o'clock to bear objections to nominations, etc. Mr Bowles formerly with- drew from the contest, and objection was raised to Mr Harry Morris's nomination paper on the plea that his number on the burgess roil was given on the new register, which does not come into operation till.Novem- ber 1 Ab the election iii tiic Victocia'.Vurq takes place on October 28th, under the old register, this nomination urged to be invalid. .E:s wormlitu i iiplield tlie coii,ent'on, aiid declared Dr Knight duly elected.

WHIFFS FROM THE WARDS, But who is the Ffynone Ward Liberal candidate to be ? Mr David Jenkins is spoken of vcrv favourably in some circio I; while an extremer section are ready to run -W Richard WatUins my learned friend," as Mr Levaon would fcay), the well-known champion of Adam's ale and no compensation. And so there ig to be a fight in Victoria Ward on the 2Stb. but it was DO anticipated that Dr. Knight's opponent would be Mr. H. J. Morris. It came about in this wise During the recent Parliamentary election Mr. Morris toid the Victoria W,,rd Conser- vative Committee that he would do his best to find them a candidate to figilt the ward at the forthcoming municipal election, and that failing to do this he would fight the ward himself. During the past week or so attempts have been made in the Victoria Ward to find a good candidate to oppose Dr. Knight. Mr Gustavus was spoken favourably of, but at the last minute it was discovered that he was ineligible by virtue of the fact that he was the holder of a corporation contract. At the last minute the ratepayers anxious to oppose Dr. Knight bethought themselves of Mr Harry Morris' proaaise, aud looking him up on Saturday succeeded in getting his consent to fulfil his promise. On Saturday several influential ratepayers waited upon Mr Davies, Station Inn, High- street, to induce him to contest the Aiexandra Ward in opposition to Mr James Jones. Mr Davies received the deputation very favour- ably and promised to give his decision in the course of a lew days. It is claimed that Mr Davies would be a great acquisition to the council. This action in the Victoria Ward seems to have roused the ire of the Ffynone Ward Liberals, and they have summoned a special private meeting to be held at the Walter- road Schoolroom this (Monday) evening to disease tho question of opposing the return of Mr. P. S. Lindley, To-night's meeting is ef course strictly private, after the usual stylo of latter-day Liberal conventicles. Alderman Tutton is to preside, and it is anticipated that resolutions having an im- portant bearing on the forthcoming election will be adopted. Mr. A. Bowles writes us as follows anent his action in the Victoria Ward: "Dr. Knight being in fall sympathy with manv points of cur labour programme, and the nosamation at the iast moment of Mr. Harry Morris rendering the non-election of tho worthy doctor and Myself possible, if not probable, I have decided to withdraw from the contest, and have given notice to the town clerk to withdraw my nomination. I shaH explain my position at one of Dr. Knight s meeting. If my Labour and Friendly Society friends still wish it I shall again be a candidate at the first favourable opportunity, the 'non-iiM-l provementof the Swansea County Council' notwithstanding.

This fact, cuapled with the interesting announcement uaado by the Swansea Com- mittee by the imedium of the posters, to the effect thnt the police had orders to remove any person using unseemly language, bordered on the huaaorouK. The teams were as follows:- SiVASSEA.—Back, W- J. Bancroft; threequartors, tf. Mills, W. GI itiitht, W. Giooker, and U. Messer; halves. F, Morgan and Owtn; forwards, A. JI. Jcnkin (capt.). ii. S.

It was liaif an hour after the advertised time when Lampeter started, Swansea playing at the town end.

A run by the Lampeter captain took play back to the cenu-o, and Crocker and Messer by pass ng too;c play to the end Then Grittithg, one ot the Lam- peter halves, dribbied prettily over the hall- way line, and A. M. uenuin came in with an equally clever aribble. Rushing a scrum, the A!i Whites further increased their advantage, but Jonas, the college cus- todian, saved from the attack of the Swausea pack.

After the punt out play kept in the centre for a few minutes, the home threcquarters missing openings through ihe play of Morgan aL haff, who persisted in trying te get away hinaself instead o. passing out. It was awing 10 a poor atlemnpt of Morgan to pass to his p.itlner that one of the visiting halves got ia a punt and forced tho All Whites hack to neutral territory again. IL was from here that Owen picked up in tha loose and chueked to Griffiths, who toak the ball at full speed iu spiend'd style, and running to the.Lam- peter 25, handed to Messer, who raced over the line in the corner, Bancroft converting from close to the touch line. The ball was hardly e;; going again before the home pack dashed down again and Morgan scored, Bancroft failing to convert.

The drop out was received by liancreft. who, instead of ;,iciiing,brouglit off a fine corkscrew run and cleared the College team. He passed across to Griffiths, wb. tore down the field acrd then threw to Harold Mills, that player being brought down iuside the Lampeter quarter line. The ground thus gained was soon lost by geed rushing play by the Lampeter opys, who forced the All Whites to their Z5 line. From here Rice got away with a smart run and chueked to Jackson, the latter handing on to A. M..Jenkin, who unfortunatelv knocked on aud lost a splendid chance of scoring. lie atoned for this a moment later, however, by dashing up and taking a pass in splendid siyie from W. Crocker and planting the leather over the line. Bancroft failed to improve on the point. The Swansea men were now lairiy on the ball, and a minute later Messer picked up from the 25 line, and scored right between tho posts. Bancroft a 'ain failed to convert from the easiest position imaginable. Some two minutes later another try was regis- j tered, this time by bj- 't alls.i p froni and il-iis time Ba?ncrot' t did the trick. This was 15 minutes from half time, and in that period Swansea had j piied on a goal and 3 tries. Good business. By good rushing play the iaiapeter boys got I down to the heme end, and twice they seemed as thouch they would get over, the tackling being very weak.

Father Phillipsen was unable to continue his series of sermons on Sunday evening in consequence of a severe cold. 111 his absence Father Macdonald occupied the pulpit. Father Philiipson hopes to resume the series on Sunday next. Recruiting for Her Majesty's Navy goes on apace at tbe Mumbles juaging by the number of young men who are enlisting for the service. This morning another batch en- trained at Swansea to proceed to tbe training headquarters in charge of Chief- petty-officer Gibbius. On Saturday eveniug, Dr. S. G. Floyd, hljx,,se surgeon at the Swansea Hospital, read an entertaining and instructive paper on William Makepeace Thackery." before a numerous attendance, at the Free Library, quoting many amusing anecdotes of the author of "Vanity Fair." The secretary of the Swansea Hospital begs leave with best thanks to acknowledge the receipt of 152 10, contributed by the workmen at the Eagle Tin-plate Works, Neath, per Mr F. W. Gibbins, manager; also £ 5 7s collected by the workmen of the Clvdach Merthyr Colliery. Mrs. Mary Rees, aged 60 years, residing at No. 3, Foxhole-road, St. Thomas, was on Saturday stooping near the entrance to the Swansea market in Oxford-street to put some things into her basket, when a cart driven by Samuel Williams, also of Foxbole-road, j knocked her down. Her arm was broken by; the fall, and she was treated at the hospital.

The inaugural meeting of the London Welsh Improvement Societies was held on Saturday evening at tbe Welsh Tabernacle, King s (. rots, London, under the chairman- ship of Mr. Brvnmer JOIICK, M.P., in the absence of tho president, Sir John Williams In bis address the chairman pointed out that the educational agencies of the country, aud of Wales in particular, were of two kinds—first, those of a formal character, which received tho sanction of the State or Government as such and secondly, those which sprang spon- taneously from the desire of the people for intellectual progress and the cultivation of those arts which tended to elevate and refine everyday life. To the first beiouged our universities, our eolleges, our schools. Of the second no more favourable illustration could be given than the Cymmrodorion Society. t, A Sympatliiser wi-itas:-il it is exceed- ingly strange that in a large town lilie ours there is not a single representative or the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in our midst. There are in our town to-day a large; number of children who arc neglected by their parents, who go out day after day drinking, leaving their children with no boots or stockings on and barely any clothing save a few filthy rags, and yet no one interferes. I know of two such cases, and have gone into those houses, where there is no fire in the grate, and no bread in the cupboard, save a dirty crtist lying on a table almost as black as soot. 1 have seen the same children crying for their parents on a cold, wet night, only a few days ago, and yet these poor children aro allowed LO go short of the necessaries of 'if(? I ,tiid ol !io critvms; ior driuk might be assuaged. As there is no representative of the Society here, why don't the police interfere and summon such offenders, if net for cruelty (although it amouuts to that), for neglecting their chiidren. If they did, I am sura a better state of things would exist th:iri at present. Holy Trinity Church, Swansea, -I s crowded last (Sunday) night, when the Rev. l.indon Parkyn, vicar of Ligbtciifle, occupied the pulpit. The rev. gentleman, soniC five or Pi% )eii-s ago, succeeded the Hev. Btoonfieid James as pastor at t. Paul's Congregational Church, Swausea, to which he came from Crojden. After a stay of a few v-ars at Swansea, where his eloquence and wide culture made him very popular, his religious vicw3 having undergone some cbaugo, he lett tho denomination, and joined the Free Epid- Cliurell, roitL' t,o built a church there in connection with that l'aitb. This church is in all points, except that of connection with the State, identical in belief with the Established Church. Mr Parkyn eventually entered the Church of England, and was or(l.;tjiio4,1 bv ttic Lli?siop of ]'.il)on t,o I t'le curacy of ivcigldov, Yorkshire.

A meeting of boilermakers and fitters' helpers was held at the Minor Drill-hall on Sunday, whon Mr. Stenner, president-elect of the Boilermakers' Union, from Cardiff, and Mr. Humby, representative of the National Labourers' Union, attended and delivered addresses 011 the banefis of Unionism. j A French vessel, the Louise, arrived in the South Dock from Bristol on Sunday, with two of her crew injured. Whilst off Lands End two ditys ago, she experienced very hard weather, and one of tiie able seamen had his ribs broken by the station sheet of the vessel. Another sailor was knocked down and his foot terribly lacerated by coming in eeutact with a knife. On her arrival at Swansea, Dr. Morgan went on board, and attended to the mens' injuries. We stated some time ago that on account of the lamentable failure of the Swansea Cricket team on one or two occasions last year to play slow bowling, it was the inten- tion of the committee not to re engage Guyler if they could procure the services of a good slow bowler. In accordance with that resolution the club has just engaged a North country slow bowler, named Bruden, who is stated to be able to get an enormous amount of work on the ball. ¡ A I I < 41 —1
