The End of the World has come I I EXCiriNG BALLOON TRIP. STARTLED WELSH FOLK. Ascending at 10.15 p.m. on Thursday night of last week, from Shorts' Balloon Works, Battersea, the balloon "Satellite," with Mr Phillip Gardner and Mr Short on board, descended three mites from Ellesmere, at a place called Knolton Farm, Bryn, Flintshire, at 5.30 a.m. on Friday morning. After break- fasting, the balloonists re-ascended at 9.45 a.m., and experienced a strong wind that drove them hither and thither until they more or less lost their bearings. After being driven about over the moors between Denbigh and Derwen, the balloonists caught sight of some men reaping in a corn field and shouted to them, but were unable to make themselves heard. Some sand, dropped over the side of the balloon car, had the necessary result, and the sight of the gas-filled bag considerably startled the reapers. How far away is the sea?" called out the balloonists, but the monoglot Welsh- men could not understand the query, and the aeronauts then bethought themselves that they were in Wales. Soon afterwards the anchor was dropped near a farm at Llanfihangel, and a boy seeing the balloon rushed into the house, very much startled, and in frightened tones exclaimed: Diwedd y byd wedi dyfod!" After carrying away part of a fence by the anchor dragging, the balloon came to earth, both passengers being unhurt, though the car eventually overturned after dragging some distance. The gas having been allowed to escape, the balloon was packed up, placed on a cart, and taken to Derwen Station. This is the first balloon that has ever been 3een in the locality, so one can quite understand the startled looks of those wh<p saw it, and who in all probability have never previously seen one. The distance covered by the Satellite was over 200 miles, and is said to be a record trip for a small 28,000 cubic-feet balloon. Wherever the balloon was seen, it for the moment startled the onlookers.

Ruthin Town Council. NEW METHOD -OF COLLECTING TOLL. ELECTIVE AUDITORS "IGNORE THE COUNCIL'S COMMUNICATION The monthly meeting of the above Council was held in the Ruthin Town Hall, on Monday, when there were pre- sent, the Mayor (Councillor T J Rouw) presiding, Aldermen T H Roberts, John Roberts, and Dr J Medwyn Hughes, Councillors Robert Roberts, William Jones, Glafrfryn R H Williams, and T J Roberts, with the Town Clerk (M r Baldwin Griffith), the Medical Officer of Health (Dr W F Byford), the liorough Accountant (Mr Datid JoneB), and the Borough Surveyor (Mr J Rice Jones). n HEALTH OF THE BOROUGH. The medical officer reported that during the previous three weeks seven births and three deaths had been registered. Two of the deaths were in very aged people the third dying from cancer. THE CURFEW BELL. The Council decided to offer Mr Charles Williams, the sum of 3 guineas in dis- charge of his bill of 4 guineas for ringing the curfew bell for the year ending 31gt March last. The reduced amount was offered in consideration of the fact that the curfew had not been rung regular- ly. STEAM ROLLING. As regards the steam rolling of the road from the boundary of the borough on the Corwen road, to join the steam rolled road in the Borthyn—a matter that might be described as a long felt want-it is proposed to commence such work about the middle of this month. THE COLLECTION OF TOLLS. NEW METHOD ADOPTED. THE AUCTIONEERS AND THEIR TREATMENT OF THE COUNCIL. The committee of the Council recom- mended that the toll collector should be instructed to take the numbers of all the animals exhibited for sale at the auction marts on the following day (Tuesday Ruthin Ftir Day), upon which tolls were not paid together with the names of the owners of such animals. Dr J Medwyn Hughes Are.the tolls to be collected to-morrow ? The Surveyor Yes, by placing men at the entrances to the auction marts, I might say that I don't think we shall do very much good until some proceedings are taken against those who refuse to piy the toll. Mr William Jones Why at the en- trances to the auction marts ? I think the correct plan would be to collect the tolls as they have been collected in years past, at the entrances to the town on the Bridge, by the Anchor Inn, and on the Corweu road. Dr Medwyn Hughes Have we a contract, with the auctioneers here as re- gards the tolls ? The Town Clerk No sir. Dr Mcdwjn Hughes: That being the case I think the tolls should be collected outside, somewhere. The Mayor I think we should not trifle with this matter any longer. We ought to do one thing or the other. If the auctioneers will not come to an agree- ment with us, as a Council, in the matter the tolls should be collected as the cattle &c., enter the town. Mr William Jones I propose that that be done sir. Mr John Roberis I second it. Mr T H Roberts Can we do this to- morrow, sir. The Mayor Yes. Mr John Roberts In seconding the proposal, I think the toll collector sboold be empowered to employ whatever labour he thinks necessary to collect eveiy half- penny of the toll that is due from these people, and to take the names of those w do not pay. I am perfectly satisfied th a great deal of things are sold privately without going into the market at all, an6, upon which if tolls were paid, the amount I: of tolls collected would bi considerably increased. As a matter of fact a tremen- jj dous quantity of fowls and eggs are sold ) in Clwyd-street, for instance—the people never go near the market, and do not pay one half-penny toll. Mr R H Williams questioned whether the farmers would be fully aware of the way in which the tolls were going to be collected. Was the matter sufficiently advertised amongst the farmers of the new method of toll collectors to be en- forced on the morrow. Notices, certainly, to this effect had been out, but was the fact known in the district. To all pro- bability the farmer himself might not accompany his stock to market, but would send a drover with them, and who when asked for the toll might not have the money with him. If the drover was not permitted to proceed until his master arrived, or until he was found, the stock might be late before they got into the market. Whilst quite agreeing with the proposed mode of collecting the tolls he questioned whether the people had been fully advised what was going to take place if not it would be very awkward. Mr William Jones That difficulty will be overcome if the collectors take the names, from the drovers, of the owners of the cattle and the names of those who re- fuse to pay the toll. I think this matter can be overcome and dealt with afterwards. The Mayor It is a serious question to the town. The fairs are increasing, and naturally so far as tolls are concerned should be an additional source of revenue to the town (hear, hear). At the same time we should be careful how we approach the matter, and we should endeavour not to offsnd any of the farmers. The auctioneers have noc treated the Council in the manner that it ought to be treated. Personally, in view of the dis- cussion and the points raised, I would like to see it deferred for another month so that notice could be given to the farmers and others again—widely advertised— stating the method adopted for collecting the tolls. In the meantime a suggestion might be thrown out to the auctioneers that some arrangement might be come to. Mr William Jones I take it that by starting to. morrow on the new method of toll collection, it will be the best advertise- ment (hear hear.) Dr Medwyn Hughes If you don't etart to-morrow, the general impression will be erected that we do not intend to collect the tolls (hear hear.) I do not think that by I doing so any bard slip will be indicted on anybody wtio bring cattle into the town. The toll collectors can take th% names and addresses of those who decline to pay the tolls, and then it will ba for the Council to proceed to obtain the money. I think it will show a sign of weakness on our part not to collect the tolls to-morrow, because by not doing so, natural inference will be drawn that we have doubts as to our rights to collect the tolls, and as far as I under- I stand there is not the least doubt nbout it. This being so, why sacriffce a day's collec- tion of the tolls (hear, hear). Mr T J Roberts Is the weighing machine ready tor to-morrow ? The Mayor Yes, everything is ready. If there is any trouble in collecting the tolls we have an alternative. Mr T H Roberts said he fully agreed that the best method of collecting the tolls would be by placing collectors at the entrance to the town as toll been specified, but the point was whether it would be wise to do so on the morrow, after only 21 hours notice, as it were. As to the question of fowls however he did not know that it had been done before. Mr John Roberts: Tolla should be p-tid on fowls and everything else. Mr R H Williams said he should like I he farmers to have some definite under- standing on the matter. As regards the taking down of names etc., it was all very well in its way, but it would afterwards mean a lot of coppers to collect. The Council had already aated in 3 or 4 different ways, as it were, in collecting the tolls, and one more fair would not do much more injury. By the next fair day the mode of collection c»uld be well advertised. Mr John Roberts remark-d that the f.ct should be fully known that the Council did not ta"-e proceedings before simply bc US3 cf the technical point that they had not got a weighing machine. The public sl ould know that there was not the slightest doubts about the council's market rights, and the right9 to recover tolls unpaid. Tha Mayor Do you wish the resolution amended or not ? Mr William Jones As far as the re- mark that we shall bj noting,unjustly to th., farmers by collecting the toll to- morrow, is concerned, we shall only he doing the same thing as we did labt fair day. The tolls were collee(ect last fair day and the only difference to-morrow will be that the collectors will be s,ationel at the enhances lo the to%vi), inste,.d of at tuo aucfon marts. Mr T H Roberts The cat Ie might be brought in the night bsfore. The Council then unanimously agreed to the resolution that as many men as were required to collect the tolls at the entrance's of the town should be engaged to do so, with instructions to take all names of persons who did not pay the toll. ELECTIVE AUDITORS AND THE TOLLS ACCOUNT AUDIT. IGNORING THE COUNCIL'S COMMUNICATION." "LETTER OF DIGNITY, OR HISTORICAL DOCUMENT" EXPECTED." The Town Clerk reported that he had not received a reply from the elective auditors (Messrs Charles Fox and Goronwy Williams), t.) the communication addressed to them after the last meeting of the Council in reference to the audit of the tolls account. Mr T J Roberts They have absolutely f ignored the communication sent to thew from this Council, I Dr Medwyn Hughes Who are they ? (laughter). Mr T'J Roberts The elective auditors. The Mayor I don't know what to do with the matter. We had better leave it to the next Council in committee to be discussed. Dr Medwyn Hugbes-: I require some little time-to write letters of aoiaae dignity (laughter). They must take time in re- plying because it is going to be an historical document I have oot the least doubt (laughter). Mr T J Roberts Riave t/key applied for an inspection of the loooks ? The Town Slerk Y is,, they have seen tbom. Dr Medwyn Hughes r Theirr reply I beJieve will be read when tlse- Magna Charta will be dead and forgot ton (laaghter). Mr John Roberts Let them jablish it on the day of the ele«t:on o elective auditors (lanughter). ,-he subject then dropped. IS CASTLE STREET A M.WN ROM)? IISP John Roberts said he had been told at Denbigh the other day. tbaA Castle- street from St Peter'a-sqiuare,, to the Ruthin Castle Lodge, was not a main road.- He had always been laosier the impyession that it was a main road. Per- haps the Town Clerk or Borough Surveyor could explain. The Surveyor:: I have always been led to believe it was a main read. l The Mayor: I have always maderstood itwas a main road. I Mr John Roberts The- County District Surveyor told me. >: The matter was referred? to tlw Surveyor |> to report upon it. [ MOTOR CAR ACCIDENT. | In reference to the claim by Mr Freme, i Plas !&&, Corwen, for damage done to liis-j motor car occasioned by a hoie in the roadi near the entra&ce to the-Ruthin Grammar SchooL, the motor car committee re- ported that they considered the Council was not liable for tbo damage, and ad- vised the Conneil accordingly. The recommendation was adopted. MR ENOS WILLIAMS' SEAT ON THE COUNCIL. The Town Clerk reported that Councillor Enos Williams had rendered himself liable to be disqualified as a member of the Council by alsenting himself from the Borough for six inonth-q-which period expired on the following Wednesday. Im- mediately the time for expired the Council could declaro the seat vacant. The ques- tion was—whether the Council had bftter j adjourn until Wednesday in ord r to deal with the matter. Dr Medwyn Hughes I think all seats should be filled on the 1st November. The Mayor certainly. The Council decided to meet on Friday next (to-day) to confider the matter. THE BLACK LIST. In view ot the fact that there will not be another meeting of the Couucil untill after the 1st November.

SOMETHINC ABOUT THE AUTHOR TOM GALLOX, like Dickens, with whom he has so often been compared, was launched early upon the world. At the age of thirteen, compelled by the necessity of earning his own livelihood, he found employment in a London factory. The indomitable spirit of the boy was manifested early in his career, a career which supplied him with the, varied experiences invaluable to the writer of fiction. By turns he became city clerk, school usher, and private secretary, ere, at twenty-seven, the hand of fate, forcing the wings of his genius by n ri t, physical disablement, repealed to him his true sphere in life-story writing. All the world knows what he has achieved since. SInce.

A murder has just been committed, and,. to shield the criminal,, his friends concoct & cowardly plot to decoy an innocent 'I m&n into the house and accuse him of the crime-. At the moment, Giles Black- shawr am avowed enemy of the rxurdered man, raiaaed and desperate, is seated, outside the house.

BITS FROM BOOKS. A RED-HEADED GHOST. Here is one of the short stories and sketches in Mr. John Masefield's A Tarpaulin Muster" (Grant Richards). It is a yarn that was told by a sailor who sailed in a haunted passenger iteamer: She was one of the ships plying between the Plate and Liverpool, but I cannot mention her name, as she is still afloat. She has one pecu- liaritv—a poop as big as the poop of an East Indiaman. On the poop there are many boats, with other clutter, such as skylights and a wheel house; but there is free space enough for passen- gers to play cricket or to dance without breaking their bones. This poop is haunted. The sailor who told me of the ghosts was one of the ship's quartermasters. On one passage, when the ship was in the tropics, he had the middle watch be- low. The fo'c'sle (which happened to be aft under the poop) was stiflingly hot, so that he could not sleep, though the windsails were set and the vessel was going through it at a steady clip. 4t last he turned out of his bunk, took a blanket and a pillow, and went on deck to sleep. He made up his bed on the poop to leeward of one of the boats, and settled down to rest at about three in the morning, just as the dawn had begun to change the colour of the sky. He did not know how long he slept; but he woke up with a start to see a line of men brooming down the poop towards him, with a boatswain in front of them swilling buckets of water on to the deck as they worked aft. They were so near that he sprang to his feet at once, grabbing up his gear lest it should be wetted. He had hardly taken his gear in his hand when he thought, with a shock, that he had overslept himself at least an hour and a half; that it was now half-past five, since they were washing decks. As he got up he saw that the boatswain and the hands took no notice of him, though one of the sweepers looked in his direc- tion. He was a red-headed fellow," said the quartermaster, and he'd got a scar across one cheek like he'd been hit by a club; an ugly- looking lad he was. So I knew at once he wasn't one of our crowd. And I saw him as plain as I stand here, and he looked at me: and I saw the boatswain as plain too; I saw him tell the red-headed fellow to heave round on his broom and not go dreaming like a God-send- Sunday fellow. No, I didn't hear him say that; I only seen him. And the fellow he went on broon;ing down directly I seen him get told. I. felt queer all over; it was so natural. I wasn't dreaming. I was awake all right. It was a vision. Or if it wasn't a vision, I'll tell you what it was—it was sent." The vision, or warning, or whatover it was. kept him awake for the rest of the watch. He went below to the fo'c'sle, having had enough of the poop, and found that he had been asleep hardly more than twenty minutes.

Long-standing anaemia cured Let us teN you of the interesting case of Miss Fanny Morgan. Aa she herself saya to you, she suffered from anaemia for years. She trieil so many so-called remedies without feel- ing any improvement in her health, that when her kind employer uryed her to give Iron-Ox Tablets a trial, she had almost come to the conclusion that nothing would relieve her of her distressing complaint. However, Miss Morgan decided to try them and derived such great benefit that she has sent as the following letter ;— 57, St. Michael's Road, Headingly. I am writing to tell you- 01 the great benefits which I have derived from your Iron-Ux Tablets. Since childhood I have suffered severely from conatipatioti -nd anaemia. The latter always gave my mother great, anxioty but after my fourteenth year the atjtemia he- came worse and worse. I have been under 7--inv doctors and tried all sorts of medicines Wiihjut benefit. Then my employer recom- mended Iron-Ox Tablets to me. At first I was loth to take them because I was weary of experimenting with remedies. She recom- mended your wonderful remedy so strongly that I decided to give it a trial and I am truly glad that I did so for it cured me of anecmia. My cheeks- are rosy, my appetite is good and I ainistrot)g &:ad well. I know that Iron-Ox Tablets are a wonderful tonic, and a cure for anaemia, and I hope that this letter will be the means of helping some other poor sufferer. (Signed) FANNY MORGAN.
