M.B., House SULOBI> AND LADY BROWNLOW'S SILVKR WBDDING.-The Earl and Countess Brownlow arrived at Ellesmere, on Monday, from their Lincolnshire residence to celebrate their silver wedding. At the railway station the distin- guished party was met by a large number of tenants on horseback and a band. A procession was formed, and marched through the town, which was decorated for the occasion, to Elles- mere House. The rejoicings will be continued throughout the week, and are on an extensive SCNOBTH WALKS MKDICAL ASSOCIATION.—The forty-fourth annual meeting of the North Wales branch of the British Medical Association was held at St. Asaph on Thursday. Beautiful weather prevailed, the result being a large attendance of members from all parts of the Principality. In the absence of Dr John Roberts. M.D., J.P, (Menai Bridge), the president elect for the ensuing year, the chair was taken by Dr Robert Hughes, M.D., Penmaenmawr, the re- tiring president, who congratulated the branch upon its continued prosperity, which he attri- buted to the energy and ability shown by their bon. secretary. THE CONFBBKNCR AND WELSH WESLEVANB. -At the last meetings of the North and South Wales Synods complaints were made that the Principality was not recognised as it should be by the Wesleyan Conference, and petitions were presented on the matter. Not only Welsh Wesleyans, but Welshmen generally, will be very pleased to find that the eminent Welsh preacher, the Rev Hugh Jones, Bootle, was elected at Cardiff as a member of the Legal Hundred. Mr I Jones is admitted to be one of the most able and influential ministers connected with the Princi- pality. „ A WELSH CHOIB FOB THB CHICAGO EISTEDD- FOD.—The Penrhyn Dinorwic Male Choir, num- bering 60 of the finest selected voices from among the famous quarrymen of Bethesda and Llanberis (conductor Mr E. Broome), intend giving public rehearsal of the competitive pieces to be sang at the great Eisteddfod to be held at the World's Fair, Chicago, the proceeds of which will go towards the expenses of the trip, amount- ing to £ 1000. This is the only North Wales choir entered for the Chicago Eisteddfod. Towards the expenses Lord Penrhyn has promised £ 300. It is said that Mr Assheton Smith, the proprietor of the Dinorwic quarries at Llanberis, will bear the expenses of the Llanberis contingent. DENBIGHSHIRE AND FLINTSHIRE DAIRY SCHOOL MANA«BMENT.—On Wednesday, at the conclusion of the Denbigh market, the managers and shareholders of the Combined Counties Dairy School, situated at Lleweni, held a meet- ing for the purpose of transferring the manage- ment of the school to the Technical Education Committee of the County Councils. It was said that the County Councils recognised dairy schools as purely educational, and expressed willingness to undertake the management, as the company had not made the school remunerative, having received no GoverlJment grants, which the Councils could obtain, but could not hand over to the company. The secretary (Mr Frank Bellis) was instructed to provide a statement of accounts. A NOVEL TITHE CAsE.-The deacons of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel at Gaerwen, Anglesey, have been served with a peremptory notice to pay tithe on a small plot of land adjoin- ing their Chapel. Although the land has been in the possession ot the chapel for many years, this is the first time the deacons have been called j upon to pay towards the maintenance of an Established Church. It is true the sum demanded is small—only Is 2d—yet the Anglesey Monthly Meeting looks upon the claim as involving a great question of principle, and being such, a strong and influential committee was appointed to take the whole matter into their serious con- sideratien, and report accordingly. The report, which was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted by the whole connexion in Anglesey, is as follows:—" We advice the Gaerwen friends not on any account to pay the bill, and, further, that the Monthly Meeting through its officers be empowered to appear at the next sitting of the Llangefni County Court to defend the action. The caee has created a strong feeling against the Church. SALMON FISHING IN THE DBR.—Mr Edmund Peel, of Brynypys, Bangor-is-y-coed, a well- known riparian owner, writing in reply to a letter attacking the use of coracle nets on the Dee, denies that the upper reaches of the river in the neighbourhood of Overton are over- netted. The correspondent whose letter Mr Peel answers contends that until coracle nets are abolished the Dee cannot possibly become a good river, as almost every salmon that gets over Cheater weir when the river is low is caught. A thousand fish were captured by coracle nets last season. Mr Peel, who owns the best part of the river on which coracle nets are used, says: I feel sure the riparian owners only wish the river to be fairly fished, and would listen to any representation from the conser- vancy board. The price of salmon at and below I Chester, and the number of salmon caught yearly with the fly, will prove that the river is at all events improving, notwithstanding the pollution, over-nettin?, want of proper fish passes, and protection of fish during the spawn- ing season. CLAIM: TO MATERIALS ON DISUSED MINES. -Rees Jones, of Tanybryn, Ysceifiog, was sum- moned at Caerwys, on Monday, by Arthur Albert Edwards, of Afonwen, Ysceifiog, for having committed unlawful and wilful damage to certain timber and boards, the property of John Littler and others, by removing and cutting them, up to the value of £1. The complainant stated that the:defendant had taken the timber covering of a house at the Hematite Iron Mine, Tanybryn, Ysceifiog, and had also taken a gate and posts, and converted them to his own use. The shaft was on land belonging to Mr David Morgan, of Caerwys, but the timber had been purchased by the Afonwen Cement Company. The defendant's cottage, which he occupied, was the property of Mr D. Morgan. The defendant pleaded that inasmuch as his cottage belonged to Mr Morgan, the owner also of the field in which the shaft was situated, and as Mr Morgan had promised him repairs, he thought he was justified in removing the timber for the pur- poses of repairs. The bench ordered the defen- dant to replace the gate and posts and to pay the complainant 10s. MONTGOMERYSHIRE LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. —An adjourned meeting of the Montgomery- shire Central Liberal Association was held at Newtown on Friday afternoon, to consider the report of the committee appointed to take steps for the selection of a Liberal candidate for the boroughs.—Mr A. C. Humphreys-Owen, presi- dent of the Association, was in the chair, and there was a very large attendance.—Mr J. Row- lands reported that at a meeting of the selection committee held that morning, on the motion of Mr E R James, seconded by Mr R. Lloyd, it was resolved, by nine votes to three, that in view of the excited state of thmgs in the boroughs no further steps be taken by the com- mittee with reference to the 8e^ec r._ of gentlemen willing to become candidates the boroughs.—Mr Rowlands moved the adop- tion of the report, which was seconded by Mf James.—After discussion it was agreed that six delegates be elected from each borough in public meeting, to take steps for selecting a candidate, that the honorary secretary of the Association acts as convener.-The motion for the adoption of the report was carried, and it was decided that names be sent in by the con- vener of each meeting on or before July 31st.— At a previous meeting of the selection commit- tee Mr Humphreys-Owen was nominated as a candidate for the boroughs, but it is understood that at his express request the nomination was withdrawn. WIFE MURDER AT PONTYPRIDD. — The inquest upon the body of Margaret Davies, who, it is alleged, was murdered by her husband on Friday, was held on Saturday, at Porth Police Station. A little girl, the daughter of the murdered woman, said she saw her father draw something across her mother's neck, on Friday morning, and immediately afterwards blood streamed out. Witness and her mother ran to the house of a neighbour named Mrs Flowers, and her father followed. She saw him take hold of her mother's head and again draw something across her throat. She could not see what he held in his hand. Her mother was bleeding very much, and after being placed on the floor died in a few minutes. Witness had not heard any quarrelling between her parents. A verdict of Wilful murder" against Davies was returned. At the conclusion of the inquest,^e prisoner was removed to the provisional Iblice court, charged with the murder, and remanded till Thursday. Inspector Davies now added to his evidence given before the coroner that he duly cautioned the accused as to any statement he might make, and the reply was, 1 don t wish to say anything, but I done it." On seeing the razor, which the doctor handed to witness, prisoner said, 11 That is my razor that I cut her with. There was more blood on it when I left it, but perhaps some came off on my bands by shutting it." A YOUNG WALES SOCIETY" FOB MAN- CHESTER,—On Friday evening, a well-attended meeting was held in the Roby Schools, Aytoun- street, for the purpose of establishing in this city a "Young Wales Society" (Cymdeithas Cymru Fydd).—Mr D. S. Davies occupied the [ chair, and in opening the proceedings expressed I his pleasure at finding that the proposed society was not intended as a rival of the existing Welsh National Society."—Mr W. R. Jones read an interesting statement as to the objects in view, which he said embraced political work, social intercourse, and musical and literary culture. He moved: "That this meeting, recognising the need of bringing youug Welsh- men in Manchester into c!o?er fellowship for the purpose of giving expression to the national spirit in form and policy, pledges it-.rit to sup- port an organisation based upon the plan ot tha existing Young Wales Societies." He read letters from Mr T. E. Ellis, M.P., Mr S. T. Evans, M.P., Mr Alfred Thorns, M.P., ar.d Mr J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., expressing the writers' approval of the movement. Mr Ellis had no doubt that the society would accomplish splendid work on behalf of Welsh national interests in Manchester. Mr Lewis recommended the society to take up registration work ajd sea that every qualified Welshman was put upon the register of voters. This, if well done, would make the society a political power in the city. Mr A. Thomas, after referring in his lector to the remarkaUe growth of Welsh nationalism, said: Though now fighting for Ireland, I do so in order to have the opportunity of doing as much, or even if possible more, for my own native Cambria."—The resolution was seconded by the Rev W. Owen, supported by the Rev W. Glynne, Rev D. N. Vaughan, Mr J. Roberts (treasurer of the Welsh National Society), J. Jones, Cyffin, and Mr Feniston, and carried unanimously. A committee was afterwards appointed to draft rules and elect officers.-The meeting, which was very enthusiastic, closed with the singing of Hen WIad fy Nhadau."

CARNARVON. PROPERTY SALE.—At the Royal and Sports- man Hotel, qn Saturday, Mr Evan Hugh Owen offered for sEe a freehold property comprising 13& 3r 25p, situate in the villages of Gr: eslon and Carmel. The bidding for Lleiniau, Ynys- ffordd, and two parts of Bwlchyffordd did not reach the reserve price, but Bwlchyffordd, 3r Or lip, occupied by Mr Robert Evans, was sold for £ 350. Messrs J. T.

Alder- man G. R. Rees gave a statement of accounts as to the amounts received and paid to date. An estimate was made of the out-standing accounts. It was decided that the sum of Xib be paid to the national fund, and any small balance that might remain be presented to the Cottage Hospital. CLERICAL PREFERMENT.—The Rev George Haydea, curate of Cheetham, near Manchester, has beem preferred by the Bishop of Manchester to the Rectory of St. Clement's, Longsight, near Manchester. Mr Hayden is the youngest son of the late Mr H. S. Hayden, Glan Helen, Car- narvon. MORE NEWS ABOUT THE DERBYSHIRE."— On Saturday, news was received at North Shields from a seaman of the barque Gladys," which vessel had picked up part of the crew of the late ship Derbyshire," of Liverpool, which had been abandoned at sea sometime ago in a sinking condition on her homeward passage to England. The Derbyshire," the writer says, experienced a furious tempest, which continued for five days, during which the deckhouse was washed away, and the ship's cabin, in which the pro- visions were stored. She was thrown on her beam ends, the crew afterwards abandoning her. It was only a few months ago that we chronicled the suddeu death of Capt. Jones, 3, Tithebarn- street. who was then in command on his out- ward passage from Cardiff to Monte Video, but now, strange to say, both the old captain and his ship are gone and consigned to the deep. THE NINE HOURS MOVEMENT.—On Friday evening, the stone cutters of the town held a meeting at Twthill School to consider the advisability of making an unanimous appeal to their employers for a working day of nine hours. We learn that a committee was appoin- ted to confer as to the best mode of attaining their desired aim. A CHORAL FESTIVAL,—A large and influen- tial committee, some 120 in number, represent- ative of the Congregational Churches in the county, met at Salem Chapel, on Saturday, to consider the advisability of holding a choral festival in copnection with the demonstration at the Pavilion next summer. After full delibera- tion it was decided to hold a festival. A sug- gestion thrown out by Mr Jones-Morris, solici- tor, Portmadoc, that they should have a full orchestral band on the occasion was heartily re- ceived. Mr D. W. Lewie, F.S.T.C.. Brynamsn, was appointed conductor. The various commit- tees were afterwards elected. DBATH OF AIR J. J. ROBERTS.—This week we regret to have to record the death of Mr J. J. Roberts, North-pen'rallt, which occurred on Wednesday. The deceased gentleman had been a clerk for a great number of years in the employ of Alderman Richard Thomas. Mr Roberts was an ardent musician, and led a local choir to many victories. The deceased had been ailing for many months past. General sympathy is felt with his wife and family in their bereavement. REGISTRATION.—Both political agents are now-a-days busily engaged in revising the list of voters for the boroughs and county. A keen fight may be expected at the forthcoming regis- tration courts. THB "J.P." QUESTION.—Great disappoint- ment is felt in local circles that the Lord Chan- cellor should be so very slow in notifying the elevation of some of the candidates submitted to his notice to the magisterial bench. Some will have it that the delay has been caused by a •' leading" and disappointed Liberal. Be that as it may, it was very unwise, if not unjust, towards those gentlemen whose names leaked out through a semi-official source, to make their names public. Ever since the announce- ment some of them have been pestered with letters addressed to them as "J.P.'s." The week before last we were informed that the offi- cial announcement would be made in a few days. Almost a fortnight has passed since then, and no notification whatever from the official quarter has been made. A DISHONEST MILK VENDOR.—At the county magistrates' court, on Saturday, Robert Roberts, 14, Henwalia, was charged with the larceny, by bailee, of several sums ot money oeionging co u. Owen, Aden Farm, Bethel, in whose employ he had been as a milk vendor. The accused, who was arrested at Wrexham,where he had enlisted, was fined E2 and costs. The btnch commented upon the lax manner in which the milk-vend- ing accounts were kept by farmers in the dis- trict. pointing out that the system was one which tempted sellers to deal dishonestly. DEATH.-This week we hava to record the death of one of our most respected townsmen, Captain Roberts, Garnon-street, which took place last Thursday, at the age of 77 years. He was otie of the oldest sailors in the town, and was highly respected by all, his kindliness and geniality being proverbial. He was a faithful member of Moriah chapel. On Monday his remains were interred at Llanbeblig, the Revs Dr Hughes and D, O'Brien Owen officiating. He was married for the long period of 50 years. His widow survives him, together with six children. SANDOW. — On Wednesday and Thursday evening, the world-renouned strong man," Sandow, entertained good houses at the Guild Hall with his wonderful feats of strength, conjuring, sleight of hand, and acrobatic performances.

At 6 p.m., the special Girl's Friendly Society s«<vice was held at St. Padarn's Church, the choir is-iatmg on the occasion, and an earnest address on the aims of the society delivered by tLe Rector (the Rev r David .Jones). The party returr.el to Carnarvon about 8 p.m., having spent a very enjoyable I afternoon. NORTH WALES WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE AS- SOCIATION.—On Friday evening, at the Magis- trates-room, a. public meeting was held in con- nection with the North Wales Women's Tem- perance Association, with a view of establishing a branch of the society in the town. The Rev J. W. Wynne Jones, M.A., vicar, presided. Addresses were delivered by Mrs Mathews (president of the North Wales Women's Asso- ciation), Amlwch; Rev Evan Jones, iloriah; Rev IsUmael Evans (W.), and Mr iMan^ergh, Lancaster. A branch society was formed, with the following as officers: President, Lady Turner; vice-president, Mrs R. D. Williams; treasuress, Mrs Norman Davies; secretaries, Mrs W. G. Thomas and Miss Edmunds. BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT.-At this court on Monday, before J. Issard Davies, Esq. (ex-mayor), Dr John Williams, R. Thomas, Esq. and J. Jones, Esq., G. Edwards, a carpenter, was charged with drunkenness and disorderly con- duct, and also with assaulting Police-constable Davies (39), whilst in the execution of his duty, The officer followed the accused to a public- house on Saturday ullglit with the object of pre- venting him being served, with drink. After leaving he was attacked by Edwards, who kicked him in the left temple. Defendant was fiued 20s and costs-St 16s in all-ilud the bench warned him that if he appeared before them again he would be sent to prison without the option of a fine. M r H. Lloyd Carter (Messrs Lloyd Carter and Vincent) applied for a tem- porary transfer of the license of Llanfair Arms to W. Hughes, the boatswain of the London and North-Western Railway Company's steamer '• Banshee." A similar application was made on behalf of Hughes at the previous court, the public-house being the Victoria Vaults, when an objection was raised by the. police. Mr Carter said that when the applicant took the Victoria Vaults he was ignorant ae to the character of the house, which was now about to be converted into a shop, and the license extinguished alto- gether. Hughes had stocked the place to the value of about £ 10, and being a highly respect- able person, there was no reason why he should not take the Llanfair Arms. Dr John Williams said that it would be inconsistent to grant the present application, seeing that only last week the bench refused to transfer the license of the Victoria Vaults on the ground that the Holyhead police authorities had wired stating that they could not recommend Hughes. Mr Carter pro- duced letters giving the applicant the highest character, and Mr R. E. Pritchard, solicitor, Holyhead, spoke in high terms of the applicant's respectability. The applicant, in the course of his examination, said he had seen Superintendent Davies at Holyhead, who explained that the tele- gram sent to the Carnarvon police was sent under a misapprehension. Superintendent Davies had nothing to say against his character and told witness that a letter to that effect had been forwarded to the Carnarvon police.— Deputy-chief-constable Davies said that the only communication he had received from Super- intendent Davies was the telegram referred to. -Mr Issard Davies remarked that the applicant evidently possessed a good character, judging from the documents put in, but he thought the Holyhead telegram, upon which the bench had based a previous decision, ought to bo ex- plained.—The application was therefore ad- journed.

BANGOR. CITST COUNCIL.—At a special meeting held on Thursday, the Mayor (Councillor W. A. Dew) pre- siding,a long discussion ensued uponarecommen- dation of the sanitary committee that the borough' surveyor (Mr J. Gill, C.E.), should be reappointed inspector of nuisances, and his salary increased by £10, bringing the total amount to £ 220.—The matter was ultimately referred to the sanitary committee with power to act, Mr Robert Hughes notifying that at the next meeting he should propose the appointment of a special committee to take in hand the rearrangement of the per- manent staff of the corporation.-Another pro- longed discussion followed upon a recommenda- tion of the finance committee that assistance should be given in the department of the borough accountant, and it was agreed that he should be allowed temporary help.

DENBIGH. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-On Saturday evening last, a young woman named Elizabeth Edwards, was brought to town in custody from Pentre- voelas, charged with attempting to commit suicide, by drowning herself. She was brought before the Mayor immediately. From the evidence given by P.C. Evans, it appears that the young woman was in service at a place called the Cottage, near Pentrevoelas. Some time ago, the tenant, Mr Thomas Parry, had missed the sum of .£3, which he suspected the woman of taking. On Saturday morning, she threw herself into a pond in the yard, but apparently changed her mind and got out again. When charged by the constable, she said that ehe had used the 1'3, and preferred drowning herself to meeting her master again. The con- stable asked her mistress if she would take charge of her, but she declined. He, therefore, took her into custody. When charged at the court, prisoner made a similar statement.-She was bound over in the sum of £10 to be of good behaviour for six months, and her master was .1. bound over in a similar sum, and he promised to take her back into his employ. She was then liberated. THK REV A. E. TURNOUR.- The silver kettle riMonnfofl hu thft neorYlft nf nAnhi;;<h. to the Rev p.a.VUVU,o,.¿ "J v. -n. A. E.

THE CAPEL MAWB.—During this week, the usual services hitherto held at CT'.pelMawr, were held in the spacious schoolroom recently erected behind the chapel. It is intended now, that the new rooms are ready, to proceed with the paint- ] ing and cleaning of the chapel itself. The total cost of the renovation and additions will be over £3000.

HOLYHEAD. ACTION BY A DRAPER.—At Chester County Court on Thursday, before his Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd, Evan Lewis, of Holyhead, was sued by Walter Simon Jones, wholesale stationer, Chester, for S16 14s 5d, balance of account due. Mr W. H. Churton was for the plaintiff. and Mr E. G. Roberts for the defendant. On the 25th November last defendant, who was opening a general drapery shop at Holyhead, met Mr Owen Robert Williams, the plaintiff's traveller, at the George Ho el. and gave him an order fo- certain goods, which was to bo executed when his shop was ready. The goods weto forwarded in two de- liveries, and part of them was? accepted. His Honour said there was no doubt whatever in the case. and gave judgement for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

LLANDUDNO.

FESTINI0G BANKRUPTCY COURT. ON Wednesday, before Mr Registrar Jones, David Roberts, butcher, Bryntirion, Llanrwst, appeared for his public examination. — Mr Roberts (Messrs David Jones and Roberts) re- presented the bankrupt.—The statement of affairs showed liabilities foOS 8s 4d, and assets .£2141688d. The latter consist mainly of book debts, which the Official Receiver regards as over-estimated. The alleged cause of failure is given by the bankrupt as loss of stock worth X64 and bad trade."—In answer to the Assistant Official Receiver,the bankrupt stated that he com- menced business nine years ago without capital. He filed his petition in consequence of the sheriff being in possession under a writ issued at the instance of a creditor for £ 21. The bankrupt asserted that up to the date of the service of the writ upon him he had never given a thought to the question of insolvency, notwithstanding he is now showing a deficiency of S406 but on being pressed he admitted that he knew three years ago that he had not sufficient assets to pay his creditors in full. He had recently borrowed X50 from a Manchester money-lender, upon which he was to pay X23 interest, the loan to be repaid by quarterly instalments extending over two years. He had not paid any of the instalments, and a writ had been served upon him for the.273 principal and interest. He had gone to one of his creditors in May last with a writ in his pocket and induced him to become surety for him at the bank for XW. He did not say a word to the creditor about the writ. and on being asked whether he thought this an honest thing to do he replied that he expected to be able to pay back the money. He had paid his brother X4 5s wages on the day after filing his petition, and did not know there was any harm in doing so. This brother was now carrying on the business, and the bankrupt assisted him.-The bankrupt was also examined by the Rev James Gower, Llanrwst, and other creditors, after which the examination was declared closed subject to the signing of notes.

CORRESPONDENCE. THE ANGLESEY POLICE. To the Editor. SIR,-The Liverpool and Manchester papers for to-day publish an account of the proceedings at the Anglesey Joint Police Committee, in which the chief-constable is reported to have said that the defendant's solicitor telegraphed requesting that the case (the above) should not come on until Thursday to suit his con- venience, and that the police telegraphed to the Denbigh witness to appear on Thursday." That on that day (Thursday) another telegram was received from the defendant's solicitor stating that he could not attend until four o'clock." As I am the solicitor referred to by the chief- constable I must beg for sufficient space in your paper to state that it is not a fact that I sent either of the telegrams mentioned in the above extract, which supplies the third explanation given by the police. Indeed I sent no telegram whatever to the police. It does not concern me to discuss whether the police telegraphed to the Denbigh witness to appear on Thursday." The matter, however, being so readily capable of proof I challenge the chief-constable to furnish it. I hope in the beginning of the week to pre- pare and publish a full and accurate statement of the facts connected with the above case.- Yours, &c., July 21st. J. T. ROBERTS.

THE HOLYHEAD CHARITY. To the Editor. SIR,-In your report of the meeting of tha Holyhead Local Board, held on the 12th inst., I am represented as having said:— It would be useless to cry over spilt milk. The whole wishes of the testator and the inhabitants of the town had ended in smoke." The words reported were not spoken by me, but words to the same effect were used by a member of the board.—Yours, truly, J. LLOYD GRIFFITH. Holyhead, 14th July, 1893.
