The bus- band never gave her any food whateve* nor a-iiv money for the maintenance of the children, The Inspector would tell theun that when he visited the house both children were badly cl and very" poorly clad. Neighbours would also ,say they had been- giving the child- ren food. They had- not paid any rent. There was no allegation of actual cruelty until after the last Court, but after that the defendant d'd beat and illtreat the children, his only reason being because they had not settled the case that dray. Cases were not brought into Court if amy effort was madie at i¡nprov8Imen;t. Defendant, however, had made no effort whatever, and the advocate could; only ask the Bench to punish híllm for it.

He described their living room ais being very dirty. There was only one bed, the clothes being filthily dirty. The defendant .spent all his money o'n drink. On his last visit, in January, he found the children very di',rty and ill nourished, the older child o-nlv wearing a very thin skirt. There was no food' in the house but a piece of wilni?,,t.

Dogs Act at Conway. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S AGREEABLE SURPRISE. At the Conway Police Court, on Monday, ob. jection waismacl.e by Superintendent Rees to the granting of three applications for ex- emptions from licensing of sheep dogs. In re- ply to the Bench he said that some hundreds I ?is had c,o,!?-e before o f app,licationts, for ex,eiiil)ti(,- Ihim, and, ;??,o, fa,r as he c?)iul,-i ;,?ee, (-)i-ily tbrpe \ve,i-e improp,er. The (",iel C,),ble ,f, he co,,ii?tv (,Color.?c,? Ruck) said, in replv to the Chairman (Mr. "Knfe,esl)aw). that be? as agreeably ,orpyi,sed, tV),a w t there were not more objections at Conway. Quite a large number of objections; were dealt with at Carnarvon on Saturday, but, of course, the circumstances of the Conway district might be different. The Chairman said that he thought that the fact that so few objections were found necessary Wens satisfacto-ry. In 0112 of the three cases 3;S to which objec- tion was made, the applicant was a gardener. who. had neither cattle nor ,sheep. In the sec- ond case the applicant had two cows; and1 no .sheep, and occupied only four or five acres of land. The third .applicant objected, to withdraw his application:, and the other two were refused.

DEATH OF THE Nell. J»ai»ort(), OF COLWYN BAY. CLOSE OF A LONG AND INTERESTING CAREER. j We deeply regret to record the death of the Rev. John Gorell Haworth, which took place at Walshaw, his beautiful Colwyn Bay residence, on Sunday morning. The veteran clergyman had reached the ripe old age of eighty-four, and his death removes from Colwyn Bav one of its most respected residents, a picturesque figure and a most loveable personality, a man who had endeared himself to his neighbours by his genial manner and open-handed philanthropy. ] THE LATE REV. J. G. HAWORTH, A native of Walshaw, near Bury, Lancashire, Mr Haworth received his early education at the Grammar School there, arid thence he proceeded to a school at Runcorn. It was intended that he should take up a commercial eat-eet-, but 'kllhil? at school lie stiddenl?, chatiged his iiiiticl? and clec?d Ee!d -C:,i. From school he pro_ to go ii for the CilLI? ceeded to St. Aidan's College, Birkenhead, and had the distinction of being the first student whose name was enrolled at what has become such a famous institution. In his time he has generously paid the fees ot many another student to enable them to pass through the same college. Finishing his course at St Aidan's in 1847, he was ordained deacon in 1849 and priested in 1850 by the Bishop of Chester, and his first curacy was in Liverpool, where he served under the vicarite of the Rev. Henry Marline from 1849 to 1851. Those were the days before the creation of the diocese of Liverpool, when the Mersey city was in the diocese of Chester. In [851 Mr. Haworth was presented to the vicarage of Tunstead, where he laboured until 1889, the remarkably long period of 38 years in one and the same parish. He then retired and proceeded to live in a private capacity at Crumpsall, Manchester. A noble memorial of his work has been left at Tunstead, for he generously built at his own expense a beautiful Church, vicarage and school and endowed the living. Whilst at Crumpsall he came to Colwyn Bay, where he built his handsome house, Walshaw," and with which town he has been s _i prominently associated in various ways for the la" ?, t fo urteeti years. Bi.it alt',io!igli lie had retired Mr. Haworth could not be idie at Colwyn Bay, and, having been licensed by the Bishop of St. I Asaph to officiate in the diorese, he frequently gave his services free at the Church services. He gave freely of his large fortune to many good movements, and as an example of the causes which he delighted to help, we may mention that he gave no less than £ 150 per annum to the local branch of the Church Missionary Society. It was Mr Haworth who, in 1902, laid the foundation stone of Si. David's Welsh Church, just as Mrs Haworth had previously laid the foundation stones of St. David's Vicarage. The Free Library is another institution which he helped forward in a noble manner, heading the local subscription list with a very large sum. As in Manchester, so at Coiwvn Bay, he was a staunch supporter of the Y.M.C.A. movement, and was President of the Colwyn Bay Association, a posi- tion which he had held for some years in Man- chester. The Bible Society was yet another cause to which he gave the benefit of his wealth an, -e. _i itiflueti( To the pc)or and all in need of financial help he was wonderfully generous, and in all his good work in this and so many other directions he was ably seconded by Mrs Haworth. A keen politician, he also took great interest in ,?l,l ait?tirs in tfie m!inic' itic 1,I)al life of the towti, as is shown by the fact that for some years he was a member of the District Council. For some months past he had been ailing and under the constant care of his physician, Dr. Lord, but he only kept to his bed for two days, and passed peacefully away at 10.55 on Sunday morning. The first intimation which the public received of the passing of the great phitanthrophist was the hoisting of a Union Jack at half mast on the Church bell-tower, and as the news spread it was everywhere received with sincere regret. The i funeral takes place at Bircle, near Bury, on Fri- day, the Rev. Canon Roberts being amongst the officiating clergy. At three o'clock, and simult- taneously with the burial service at Bircle, a memorial service will be held at St. Paul's Church.

Geirionydd Education Committee. THE BETTWS-Y-COED BATTLE OF THE SITES. A meeting of this Committee was held on Monday at Bett\vs-y-iCoeid, Mr. D. G. Jones, Rhiwdatna, presiding. There were also present ■Mrs. Parry and Mrs. Ockleston, Rev. H. H. Roberts, Messrs. P. Mclntyre, B. Fisher, Her- bert Hughes, Hugh Roberts, E. Evans, E. Pierce, R. E. Thomas Henry Roberts, an<d. the Cie.rk, Mr. E. R. Da vies, and' the Attendance Officer, Mr. Thomas Parry. CAPEL CURIG STAFF. Rev. H. H. Roberts drew attention to the staff a: Carpel Curig. He said that at the last meetinig they appointed a teacher with experi- ence at a salary of £30. An inexperienced teacher, 17 years of age, was, however, sent, at a salary of £I2. He commented upon the disorganised state of the staff, from which the school was; bound to suffer. the young te,a,ch-cr who. was Slent being quite incapable of doing the work. The sewing was and has been at a stanidjstiill. The Clerk explained that the teacher appoint- ed reiusedi to go, and this was the only one available and, happened to come from the neigh- bourhood'. He was told she was competent and s,oir..e, It ?vas the first -he ba,?i .ard -o-f nier an!d? inco,np&ten,ce.

Mr. Fisher pointed out the utter follv of placing men quite outside of this district to ?'a?,-e c-a:e I ?- ?, )' the rna,tter )f br'ng,??ng watiel- to thte school from the C'owlvd mai'n. The Llan- dudno Council were not willing t'o. allow them, and the Parish Council*. which was maiinJy com- posed of farmers, who looked' to any increased' rate, also fought shy of any expense: Colonel Gee, he said, had had a water diviner, who. said they could get water from the rock at the back of the school by boring abut three yards;. The managers had had a miner to view the place, 1 and' be estimates, 'the cost at about £3 10s. BLAENAU SCHOOL. On the proposition; of Mr. E. Pierce, it was agreed' that Mrs. Roberts, late mistress at the Dolwy-dldielen N.P. (infants), should be asked to take the Blaenau School. The Clerk, referring to the new wooden build- wh,i?h was to. be creet,c] there, said it woul,71 J, be ready by the list April, and was the first of iis kind in this country. TALYBONT. The manager at Talybo-nt reported that there I -tmd?lie ,ve e some, Eiigl*sh f, q in the d!lstrict wli-o did not send their chil-dinen to school. The Attenda,noe Officer said that was so. They were, he said, mainly artists', who only remained there a shot time, and moved from place to place. The parent in one case was a -nbri(I chiiidi- cli-iate ci?f Cai -.ge, an(] taiiglit h:ei ren herself. The; Clerk said there was no question of law, and if the parents could teach sufficiently well there was an end to it. The Attendance Officer was, however, instruc- ted to write direct to Carnarvon if he found any whom he. thought should attend who did n EASTER HOLIDAY. It was decided, that the Easier holiday should extend from the Thursday night before Good Friday amd continue throughout the following woe-ek BRTTWS-YXOED SITE. The Clerk .reported that the county authority had appointed two members to meet the Bettws representative respecting the site. A letter had been received: from the Education Department condemning the ..site. in the narrow valley lead- rig to C ?' Cur?ig, and stigc-,i.,?teci that tl-j?e siti?,, a?p,e, should be chosen in the broader valley leading to Llanrwst. Mrs. Parry said that the people of Bettws had great objection to the proposed site. VOTE OF THANKS. On the motion of Mr. Mclntyre., seconded by Mr. Fisher, and supported 'by Mr. Ellis- Pierce, a hearty vote of thanks was; accorded' to the Chairman for his. work during the year.

Llandudno Junction Railway Accident ENGINE DRIVER'S GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND. An accident that might have had very much more serious, results occurred near Llainàudno junction on. Monday afternoon. As the 1.48 afternoon train from Llandudno ve! i l'on. w,,4s ri-in,ilng roiund; ?tl-,e cur int<> tbe ju,neti station a light engine dashed siuddenly into it, smashed a part of its back van and brought it t0' a hasty stop. The train was1, on the Llan- dudno branch line, which., normally, leads; either ■into the bay at the. Junction station or along- side (the outer .side of the up is,land platform. The main, line is not reachedUlnless the poi n'ts are specially set for it. The train in question was intended to run into the bay, and was, just passing the signal cabin when its course was so summarily arrested. The engine which, col- lided with it approached on a converging line, and struck the front portion of the rear van, which was crushed inwardis and thrown off the line. With it wient the two next carriages, but no other damage was donle. The passengers would naturally be well shaken, but no one was hunt. As he was at the time standing at the end of the platform, Mr. Wynne, the courteous station- master, was; command of a full view of ex- actly what occurred. He instantly hurried; along the line to the spot, and was followed by a band of other officials prepared to offer assist- ance to any of the passengers who might be iin need of attention. The colliding engine, it appears, had run. out to the Conway end of the signal cabin with the object of returning into the Llandudno bay, and returned, for some reaison to be inquired into, at the very time; when the train from Llandudno wa,s approaching. This led to the train and engine coming together. But the driver of the locomotive attached to the Llandudno train (Owen Evans, Carnarvon, a veteran hand) had shut off steam with a vilew to pulling up in the bay, saw what was likely to happen, and with remarkable presence of mind reopened his throttle valve and drew his train siuddenly for- ward. But for that action the oncoming engine would have .struck one of the coaches, and the accident might then have been much more serious. One Tady was travelling in the com- partmlelnlt next to the back van, and there were some three dozen passengers in the train alto- gether. The driver of the light engine, it .should be added, shut off steam and reversed when he saw the mistake, that had been made, and so re- duced the violence of the impact. Mr. L. W. Home, the district Superintendent, and Mr. J. Bayley, the deputy Superintendent, visited the scene of the accidlent in the course of the afternoon. The line was smartly cleared by the local gang, and traffic was not delayed. Very many years, have passed since there was any accident of a serious character at Llandud- no Junction, and the station has: had a splendid record for safety, especially considerinig the enormous traffic in the summer.
