The Aberdare Leader

Newyddion CyfTredinol. Yr oedd cadair wag yn Eisteddfod Hope Hall, Lerpwl, ddydd Mawrth wythnos i'r diweddaf. Yr oedd y bardd buddugol yn absenol. Wedi ymchwiliad cafwyd ei fod, nid mewn cwrdd diwygiad, ond mewn lie cyffelyb i'r un a gamgymerwyd am addoldy gan ddyn oedd mewn ymchwil am ddiwyg- iad yn Abercynon y dydd o'r blaen. Yr oedd yn treulio ei Nadolig yn ngarchar Walton, a phan udganwyd y corn gwlad nid oedd na lief na neb yn ateb. 000 oc, Ffaith hynod ydyw fod yr Eisteddfod dan nawdd y Temlwyr nt. ac mai un o'r tes tynau ydoedd Athryliih ac Anghymedrol- deb." Mae yn debyg fod y bardd hwn druan wedi syrthio i'r pechod parod i am- gylchu Dewi Hafesp a Wil Ysgeifiog. 0 0 0 Y mae un o sefydlwyr y Wladfa wedi cael ei gasglu at ei dadau, nid amgen y Bonwr Lewis Jones.

Rees, cenadwr yn Madagascar, fel cydnabyddiaath am garedigrwydd. Un o frodorion yr ynys ydyw ei gwneuthurwr. 000 Yn y rhifyn diweddaf o'r Evangelical Magazine y mae darlun a bvwgrafiiad o'r Parch J. Gwilym Jones, Penarth. Yn ys- tod deng mlynedd ei arosiad yn Mhenarth y mae Mr Jones wedi ychwanegu yr aelod- i aeth o 60 i 240, ac wedi tynu i lawr yr ad- eilad haiarn ac adeiladu capel gwerth £ 8000. Yn benaf oil y mae y ddyled wedi ei chlirio i gyd. 000 Y mae Gwernogle wedi cyhoeddi cyfrol drwchus o bregethau gan feirdd-bregethwyr Cymru. Y mae yr awduron, y rhai a ber- thynant i bob un o'r enwadau Ymneillduol ac Eglwys Loegr, wedi ysgrifenu pob i bregeth. 000 Y mae Mr Ernest Rhys, mab talentog y Prifathraw John Rhys, yn lied glaf ar hyn o oryd. 0 0 0 Er syrthio o'r cedyrn mae'r gan yn fyw ydoedd arwyddair yr Eisteddfod oedd i gael ei chynal yn Aberdar y Nadolig diweddaf. Er syrthio o'r gan y mae lien yr Eisteddfod hon etto yn fyw. Y mae y gystadleuaeth ar y traethawd ar "Gerdclorion Ymadaw- edig wedi para, ac y mae beirniadaeth Mr D. Emlyn Evans ar y cyfansoddiadau wedi ymddangos yn y Wasg. 000 Y mae record mewn canu clychau newydd gael ei sefydlu yn Leicester, prifddinas y Iledr. Buwyd yn clochydda yn ddidor am dros ddeng awr a haner pan y syrthiodd un o'r clochyddion i lawr gan flinder. Beth am nerves pobl Leicester yn y cyfamser ? 000 Y mae rhai o extremists yr adfywiad pre- senol a'u dwylaw yn drwm ar yr Eisteddfod. Y mae rhai cystadleuwyr wedi tynghedu na bydd iddynt dynu y dorch mewn un math o ornest Eisteddfodol mwyach. Pob peth yn dda os mai dyna lais eu cvdwybod, a diau y bydd y newydd hwn yn cael ei groesawu gan rai nad ydyw eu cydwybodau mor dyner. 000 Ond na fydded y diwygwyr beirniadol mor lawdrwm ar yr hen Eisteddfod. Y mae hi wedi bod yn diwygio Cymru ar hyd yr oesau. Y mae wedi dal pwys a gwres y dydd a llwydrew y nos. Nid oes yr un gallu wedi diwygio Cymru mewn ystyr all round fel y mae yr Eisteddfod wedi gwneyd, hyny yw ei diwygio yn feddyliol, moesol, a chrefyddol. Pob parch i'r elfenau cedyrn sydd yn ysgwyd ein gwlad yn achlysurol, ond y mae yr Eisteddfod yn gweithio yn gyson, yn araf ac yn dreiddiol, fel y lefain yn y blawd. Y mae gweddi yr orsedd yn cael ei hyngan flwydd ar olblwydd er ai-nser y Derwyddon, ooo Bobl anwyl beth ydych yn ei wneuthur, rhoddi cefnogaeth i sefydhad sydd wedi damnio Cymru Llefarwyd y geiriau hyn gan Richard Owen yn ei ffrwst ac yn angerdd ei sel ddiwygiadol. Y drwg o honi ydyw fod plant selog y diwygiad yn ngrym eu sel ysol yn dueddol i golli eu hamynedd ac i anwybyddu galluoedd llai eu twrw a llai eu brwdfrydedd, elfenau arafach a dofach, ond mwy dyfal a dygn yn eu gwaith. Pwyll, gyfeillion Cofiwch chwedl yr ysgyfarnog a'r tortoise. 000 Da oedd genym weled llywydd Eisteddfod Llangollen yn cyfeirio at yr annoethineb o wneyd ymaith ag Eisteddfodau i wneyd He i gyfarfodydd diwygiadol. Na, na, y mae gan yr hen Eisteddfod ei swyddogaeth yn Nghymru o hyd, a bydd ei heisieu wedi i fiiam yr adfywiad oeri. 0 0 0 Y mae gwirionedd ynbeth anmhoblogaidd dros ben yn America, gallem feddwl. Y mae un golygydd newydd roddi ei siswrn yn y to yn awr. Dywed na ddarfu iddo ddywedyd un gwirionedd er pan aeth at lyw y papur heb i hyny leihau rhif ei danysgrif- wyr a chwyddo nifer ei elynion. A dyna wlad George Washington! 000 O'r diwedd y mae Porth Arthur wedi syrthio. A'i gwymp a fu fawr. Y mae y Japaniaid wedi dechreu eu blwyddyn newydd yn dda, a chawsant Galenig wrth fodd eu calon. 000 Gwell gen i siarad yn Gymraeg meddai un wraig pan yn myned i gusanu y Beibl yn llys ynadon Aberdar ddydd Mawrth. "Gwell genyf innau hefyd meddai y gwladgar Syr Marchant. 000 Y mae yn wir ddrwg genyf drosof fy hun" meddai un gwr oedd yn cael ei gyhuddo o ymlenwi a diod gadarn. Y mae yn ddrwg genym ninau drosoch," meddai y prif ynad. ooo Y mae rhai o'r sawl sydd yn caru Hen Wlad fy Nhadau yn awyddus i ddathlu jiwbili ein hanthem genedlaethol.

Lleutènant General Sir John French states that there is no truth in the report that he will shortly give up the Aldershot command. Cardinal Langenieux, Archbishop of Reims, France, died on Sunday. In St. James's Church, Hull, on Sunday, William Croft, a retired carpenter, died suddenly during service. Baron Gautsch has been selected as Prime Minister of Austria by the Emperor Francis Joseph in the room of Dr. von Koerber, who has resigned. Work on the new advanced battery for the defence of Liverpool is to be pressed forward at once, the necessary land having been acquired by the authorities. > For the first time in many years the City of- Berlin has been compelled to purchase the supply j of coal for the municipal gasworks outside Germany—namely, in England.

Aberdare Tramway Scheme Special Meeting of the Council. On Monday a special meeting of the Aberdare District Council was held to con- sider the question of confirming the promo- tion in Parliament of the Aberdare Tram- ways Bill. There were present, Messrs R. Llewelyn (in the chair), John Howell (vice chairman). E. M. Hann, D. P. Davies, C. B. Stanton, J. W. Evans, R. L. Berry, T. Lewis, D. J. Thomas, E. Morgan, E. Stonelake, W. Rees, W. T. Morgan, J. M. Jones and W. Thomas with Col. T. Phillips (clerk) and Mr 0. Williams, (surveyor). In moving a resolution that the promo- tion of the Bill be confirmed Mr E. M. Hann said that the opposition maintained that they bad produced no figures to show that the scheme was workable. He wished to say however that such figures were avail- able. He was sure that not one of them would favour the scheme if they thought that it would cost more than it was advis- able to spend. He was supporting it be- cause he had come to the conclusion that the undertaking would not add to the rate- able burden of the district. The estimate presented first by the surveyor was X-62,000, whereas the last estimate was £ 98,000. But they should bear in mind that this 50% increase in expenditure inclu- /0 ded the extension of the Tramway to Cap- coch which meant an addition of £ 6,000. Again the substitution of a bridge for the level crossing at Aberaman would have to be done irrespective of the Tramway Scheme. Besides, the County would have to bear a portion of this expense. Again the new road to Cwmaman would have to be con- structed irrespective of the Tramway Scheme. That would cost about £ 4,850; and it was unfair for the opponents of the scheme io make the Tramway Scheme re- sponsible for that item. Besides there were many miner improvements and alterations which the Council would have to execute if the Tramway would not be proceeded with. Then coming to the destructor, that was a thing apart from the scheme, and the sur- veyor had estimated its cost at £ 8,000. They had left a margin of 10% to cover contingencies, and he was sure that the sum given would prove to be an ample estimate of, if not more than the necessary expendi- ture. He did not think that the Aberdare ratepayers would be burdened by it. He estimated the Tramway receipts at £10,000 a year. Mr R. L. Berry seconded the motion. Alderman Evans said that as a represen- tative of No. 1 Ward he would move that they proceed no further with the matter. It was absolutely unfair towards certain portions of the district to spend the rate- payers' money thus for the benefit of certain individuals. Mr C. B. Stanton said that it being a general field day on Wednesday he would merely support the resolution now. He believed that it would be a great saving in the long run. Mr D. P. Davies said that he was unable to support the motion. He did not think that in the long run it would be a saving to the district. The population of Aberdare was over 43,000 but about 15,000 would be deprived of the benefits of a Tramway. These were the people of the outlying dis- tricts which the Tramway would not reach and the rates would fall on them the same. Aberdare had seen a good era of property during the last 4 or 5 years. But now col- lieries were being closed, and future pros- pects did not augur for a continuation of this prosperity. Mr E. Stonelake remarked that he believed that the best place to discuss the scheme was at the Market Hall at the public meet- ing. Mr W. Rees said he was in favour of the motion. It bad he said been brought as an argument against the scheme that the out- lying districts did not immediately benefit by it. However they had a precedent in the Aberdare Park towards which the rate- payers of all the districts contributed. Mr W. Thomas observed that he looked upon the Tramway as a great help for the neighbourhood and therefore supported the scheme. Mr J. Howells said that he could hot say that the scheme would benefit Aberaman directly. However a movement that would be for the good of Aberdare generally should have the support of every sane man. He would support it to the utmost, Mr D. J. Thomas remarked that in time the Tramway might be extended to, Aber- nant, Cwmdare, Hirwain, &c., and then the outlying districts would participate in its benefits. The chairman then rose and said that he had been opposed to the scheme from the first, and he was not yet convinced that it was going to pay, especially in a place like Aberdare where the bulk of the moveing populution was employed underground. He estimated that for the next 20 years the Tramway would mean an addition of 1/6 in the £ in the rates. Mr Stonelake What is ,the basis of your estimate. Let us have your figures. The chairman then remarked that Mr Stonelake had no right to interrupt him. However he had based his figures on the cost as given by the expert engineers and the surveyor, and on the estimate of the re- ceipts of the Tramway. Mr T. Lewis asked why anyone should object to a scheme which would be of ser- vice to the whole of the parish. Many members expressed their sceptic- ism regarding the estimate of the chairman but he persisted in saying that his figures were right, and that the ultimate cost would be £ 130,000, Mr Hann in replying said that the chair- man must have made an error in his calcu- lations. Personally he thought that the esti. mate given was ample—in fact he thought that X93,000 was too high and that X80,000 would be nearer the mark. In the division 4, namely, chairman Messrs J. W. Evans, W. T. Morgan and D. P. Davies voted against the scheme, and the remaining 11 in favour. Mr Llewelyn not being prepared to take the chair at the public meeting at the Mar- ket Hall, Mr Hann was elected for that office. Mr Llewelyn consented to act as return- ing officer on that occasion. 0

Aberdare Polio Court. On Tuesday, before Sir T. Marchant Wil- liams (Stipendiary), Drs Jones and Davies. EJECTMENT. Mr M. T. Morgan applied for an order to eject Evan Evans, 11, Catherine street, Aberdare.—Granted. Mr W. Thomas, on behalf of Mr B. Jones, Aberaman. applied for an order to eject Benjamin Lloyd, 256, Cardiff road, Aber- aman.—Granted. "MIDDLING SOBER." Evan Evans was charged with being drunk. He said that he thought that he was middling sober." Fined 10s and costs. TRESPASSING. Thomas Griffiths and William Griffiths were charged with trespassing on the G.W.R. Inspector David and Inspector Be van (G.W.R.) gave evidence. Fined 10s and costs each. A PAUPERISED FARMER SUMMONED. Gwen Walters, Aberdare, charged Alfred James, Ynysgron Farm, Glyn Neath, with being the father of her illegitimate child. Mr W. Thomas appeared for the defence. Complainant said that on December 16 she gave birth to a child, of which defendant was father. Complainant's sister, Jane Walters, said that she told defendant in May that her sister was enciente. He said he could not marry her then. In November, after the child was born, they approached him after- wards, but he refused to do anything, and they told him that he would be summoned. Plaintiff stated that defendant was a farmer. Mr W. Thomas said that defendant was a collier, his average earnings being only 25s per week. It was true he had a small holding and kept one cow. Stipendiary Then let him sell the cow (laughter). If he is only a pauperised farmer I shall only make an order of 3s 6d per week. I was inclined at first to make an order for 5s. (To defendant): Why don't you marry the girl ? Get away, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. ANOTHER PATERNITY CASE Catherine Enoch, summoned David Wil- liams, 99, Gadlys road, to show cause, &c. Plaintiff said she lived in Engineer's row. In March she gave birth to a child, of which defendant was father. Defendant admitted the paternity. An order for 3s 6d a week was made. AND THIS IS JUSTICE IN ABERDARE COURT William Hodges was charged with as- saulting Charles William Bartlett. Mr W. Thomas appeared for complainant. Complainant said he was a hairdresser living at Aberaman. Defendant aad his wife occupied a part of his house. On Christmas Day defendant was beating his wife in the house. Complainant did not interfere. On the Monday he served defen- dant with a notice to quit. Defendant used very filthy language to complainant and his wife. On Boxing night complainant re- turned home from the theatre and found the door locked. Eventually Hodges came to the door. Complainant asked him what business had he to lock the door. An alter- cation ensued with the result that com- plainant was severely punched in the face. Defendant then struck complainant with a lamp, and some of the oil was spilt on the table. Defendant maintained that complainant had threatened him with a poker. Also that complainant was under the influence of drink. These two allegations complainant denied. Mrs Bartlett corroborated her husband's evidence. Jeremiah Evans, 216, Cardiff road, said that on Boxing night he heard cries of 14 Murder emanating from Bartlett's house. He could smell smoke and rushed in. The lamp was on fire and the whole place ablaze. Bartlett was in the middle room. He was sober. His face was in a bad state. Hodges' story was that Bartlett came home late. He was under the influence of drink and attacked witness. with a poker. Then he struck Bartlett. He had locked the door not knowing that Bartlett was out. Martha Hodges, defendant's wife, said that they were aware that Bartlett was out that night. He had locked her husband out on Sunday night, and now they locked Bartlett out in return. Hodges was fined X5 and costs or one month. Mr W. Thomas made an application for costs, which was granted. Hodges cross-examined all the witnesses for the prosecution severely, and when the sentence was announced he exclaimed, And this is justice in Aberdare Court! A BAD BEGINNING. You have begun the year badly said the Stipendiary to two young fellows named D. Bateman and J. Robinson, who were accused of drunkenness. The penalty of this bad beginning was 10s and costs each. INDECENT BEHAVIOUR. For the above offence John Knapman was fined 10s and costs and Anne Evans 20s and costs. INDECENT LANGUAGE. For using filthy expressions Thomas James, Llwydcoed, had to pay 10s and costs. DRUNKS. Richard Taylor, John Murphy, J, Thomas; Robert Hadley, Cwmaman Robert Evans, Aberaman; William Lewis, Ynyslwyd John Emmanuel, Cwmdare, 10s and costs each. W. Thomas, John Jones and Thos.
