Extraordinary Flood at Glan Conway. TERRIBLE EFFECTS OF A CLOUD-BURST. EXCITING EXPERIENCES. Glan Conway is generally a place of repose, but its peacefulness was suddenly disturbed on Friday night. The Bontnewydd portion was flooded, and the waters from, the high ridge ot the Gorfa Mountain had rushed down the moun- tain with such force that carried all before them. A gentleman was ascending the mountain to- wards Gorfa ridge, on Friday night, when he was suddenly caughl in a torrential and blind- ing rain. The spots of rain, were as large as halfpennies, and soi copious was the downfall that the air became so heavy that he found a difficulty in, breathing for some time. The little stream that runs down from the mountain to Bontnewydd and the sea became a great river of much force. It appears, accord- ing to the gentleman before mentioned, that this extraordinary downfall of rain was felt for a mile radius, with Gorfa as a centre. In the upper portion the roads were so washed that tons of material were carried away. Five xoot- hi^idges were (swept away, namely, those at Cymiera, Penrhiwisa, Penybont, Felin Isa', and Glanydon. and a sheep dipping tank from Colo- mendy was carried right into the river Conway, together with a heavy- field gate. All the flour was washed out at Felin Isa, and the gable- end of the shoeing shed at Bontnewydd, belong- ing to Mr., Thomas Jones, was also. drafted into the current. The family of Mr. John Williams, at Cymera, could not move from their home owing tot the flood surrounding the house. A dove-cote was swept down and several doves drowned, and tons of potatoes were swept away from Rhosgoch. At Glanydon, a lonely thatched cottage standing on a barren piece of land on a slight elevation above the sea level, was for a time a miniature island, and the family were prisoners within, the house for the whole of the night. The river, the next morning, was full of ploughs, footbridges, andj mprooted trees. The farmers of the district had much difficulty m saving their live stock. Many years ago a similar flood was experi- enced in, the district, when the railway bridge collapsed, and anxious fears were entertained as to the safety of the structure; on this occa- sion. The authorities were on the watch, and Mr. Hulse, foreman of the permanent way of the London and North-Western Railway Com- pany, was summoned late at night to, the spot. He took every precaution for the safety of the bridge, and it was fortunate that the tide was low at the time. Slight damage was, however, done to one of the panels, which has been strengthened by cement work. Many exciting incidents occurred during the -flood, and the Parish Council will have some- thing to do to replace the footbridges that have been. swept away. At Bonrtnewydd the 15m. Llandudno water main crosses the river bed, and also the Glian Conway distributing main. Both of these were carried away, but the Cowlyd main to Colwyn Bay lower down was not damaged. The supposed cause of the flood is that a water-spout had burst on the Gorfa Mountain top. OLD COUPLE'S BED AFLOAT ALL NTGHT. Another correspondent writes — An aged couple living in a cottage on the banks of the Conway river, a few miles from Llanrwst, had a very trying experience on Fri- day nigibt. The torrential rain caused the river to rise in heavy flood, while the incoming tide rushing up stream acted as a dam, with the result that the embankments were submerged and the adjoining meadows for a considerable distance covered to a depth of several feet. The house in whicfr the old couple live soon felt the pressure of the water, the gable-end of the outhouse being sweTxt away and the house itself flooded. At the time the old people were asleep in their old-fashioned canopied bed- their sleeping-chamber being on the ground floor,—and soon the house was flooded to a depth of three feet. They awoke to find the bed afloat, and with the water surrounding them they could do nothing but stand upright and: cling for support to the bedposts. The water rose gradually, lifting the bed until its canopy met the ceiling, and next the bedclothes were submerged. Still it rose unti it had reached higher than the old folks' knees, whilst both stood shivering and trembling on the shaking bed. Hours passed, and both suffered severely from cramp and cold. In the early hours of Saturday morning, however, when they were almost in despair and greatly ex- hausted, they observed that the water had ceased to rise, and for some time remained stationary. Then, to their delight, it rapidly subsided. The tide had turned at last, allow- ing the river to run its natural course, with the result that the water quickly flowed back to their natural channel. In the morning the old couple were discovered by their neighbours in a deplorable condition, whilst the house and furniture were veneered withl mud. Kindly hands, however, rendered assistance and provided the two suf- ferers with dry clothes. They are now reported quite recovered from the effects of their experience. WATER-MAINS CARRIED AWAY. About seven o'clock on Friday night (accord- ing to another account) an extraordinary flood occurred in a little river draining the hills to the east of the Conway vialley near Glan Con- way. Although not much rain fell at the latter place, itihe stream rose immediately to a height of four feet above its ordinary level, and carried down with it in its rather steep course big boul- ders and everything which lay in its path. At Bontnewydd, the bridge which spans the river valley between Glan Conway and Talycafn, half of a shed adjoining the smith close to the bridge was carried away, -and a pigstye and four ploughs out of the smithy yard were carried away and. deposited here and there below the bridge. The 15m. Llandudno main across the river bed and the Glan Conway distributing main were carried away, but the Cowlyd main to Colwyn Bayj lower down was not damaged. Three footbridges were displaced, and the lower part of the valley up to the embankment carry- ing the Vale of Conway Railway became a lake. It is supposed that a water-spout had burst on the hill top.

An American Tribute to Mr. Lloyd George. From two Cambro-American correspondents, one residing in New York City and the other in Chicago, we have received cuttings from The New York Evening Journal," which published a leading article on Lord Rosebery's attitude to- wards the Budget. In conclusion the writer says — Rosebery has been honoured and made com- fortable by the English people. He has mil- lions that he never earned, and he fights a just plan to make him pay something toward the expense of government that protects him. How like he is to our own Roseberys in America! It would be good for this country if we could send them about one hundred thou- sand of our men of the Rosebery type, intellect- ually selfish and brutal, and get in exchange one single man like Lloyd George, the best democrat that the English-speaking races, have produced in fifty years."

I English Congregationalists in North Wales. THE NEW CHURCH AT RHOS-ON-SEA. STONE-LAYING CEREMONY. I The stone-laying ceremony in connection with the proposed new English Congregational Church at Rhos-on-Sea, took place on Monday. It was unfortunate that the weather proved very unfavourable, rain falling during the pro- ceedings, which militated against a larger at- tendance. Amongst those present were the Rev. and Mrs Thomas Lloyd, Colwyn Bay; the Rev. J. Irvon Davies, Llandudno; the Rev. Peter Jones, the Rev. William Williams, and the Rev. H. R. Williams, and Mrs Williams, all of Colwyn Bay; the Rev. H. N. Henderson, Bangor; Dr. Christein, Colwyn Bay; and the Rev. Ernon Evans, Holywell; Mr John Rogers (Chairman of the North Wales English Congregational Union), Mr George Bevan, Mr J. T. Taylor, Mr A Le Mare (senior deacon of Rusholme Church, Manchester), Mr R. Thomson, J.P., Mr F. Gurney Barnett, L.R.A.M., Mr' C. E. Elcock (Messrs Porter & Elcock, architects, Colwyn Bay), Mr E. R. Davies, Normal College, Ban- gor Mr Richard Williams, Rhos-on-Sea; Mr T. Roberts, schoolmaster, Glanwydden; Mr T. Thorpe, Chatsworth House, Rhos-on-Sea; Mr C. H. Eden, Mr D. O. Williams, Old Colwyn, &c. The proceedings were opened by the singing of a hymn composed by the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, "Ü Lord, our God, to Thee we raise," to the tune Meloombe," after which the Rev. J. Irvon Davies, of Christ Church, Llandudno-, offered prayer. Mr John Rogers, who presided, said that it would have been very ungracious on his part if he had not accepted the invitation to be pre- sent that day to take part in the proceedings, ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH AT RHOS-ON-SEA. for which the Rev. Thomas Lloyd had worked so hard. The Union had decided to assist in placing new English places of worship at sea- side resorts. Their Welsh friends would insist upon the children attending Welsh places of worship, and they were ultimately drafted into English places, where they were to earn their bread and cheese. He felt that they at Rhos were doing the right thing in raising that house o.f prayer, and when the top stone was put in its place he hoped the church would be filled with livingstones to. the glory of the living God. HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT. The Rev. Thomas Lloyd .related briefly the history of the work at Rhos. Fourteen years ago, he said, the Congregational Church at Colwyn Bay recognised the need of making some provision for religious services at Rhos-on-bea. There was at that time a very convenient assem- bly room connected with the Rhos Abbey Hotel, which was kindly placed at their disposal. The late Rev. W. Venables-Wrlliams, Vicar of Llan- drillo, with a catholicity of spirit worthy of more emulation, gave them the use of about 150 chairs, and wished them God-speed. They held services in the assembly room every Sunday evening, and he was glad to. say that there were some there that day who used to attend. After time the hotel changed hands, and the assembly room was no longer available, neither could they find any other suitable place in which to hold public religious services, and the work was discontinued. A little over three years ago they were again asked to commence services there, and they were able to do so through the kindness of Mr Frost in placing the Cafe at their disposal, at considerable incon- venience to himself and his business. After the services had been going on for about three months, as an experiment, they were convinced that they met a real need. The church at Col- wyn Bay was very anxious, however, to avoid the too common evil of over-lapping. Their chief desire was not to see there a Congrega- tional Church as such, but a House of God, where people could meet to worship their graci- ous Father and Lord, and where the Gospel of Christ could be preached. The church, there- fore, decided to ask the Free Church Council if ,they could undertake the work and provide there a Free Church, which would be a religi- ous home for them and all denominations. The Council, however, felt that they could not undertake the work, and urged the Congrega- tionalists to continue it. They then laid the matter before their Wesleyan friends, and asked them if they were prepared to take up the ser- vices. They replied in the negative, adding that if the Congregationalists would do so, they would have their sympathy and best wishes. (Applause.) In that way they came to see what appeared to them to be the clear leading of God, the plain path of duty. Having satisfied them- selves that God would help them, they decided to take the responsibility over at once, and set about the task of providing a suitable place of worship. Mr Horton generously gave them that site of 2,000 square yards. They invited archi- tects to prepare competitive plans. Those of Messrs Porter & Elcock were chosen as the most suitable to their needs. Those plans provided for a complete scheme, church, manse, and care- taker's cottage. They decided to build the school to be used as a church hall and school for the present, and the caretaker's cottage. The cost of the present work would be about The fifth stone was laid by Mrs John Cromp- ton, the mallet being presented by the Rev. Dr. Christein. Christein. The mallets were the gifts, of the architects, Messrs J. M. Porter & Elcock, and were sup- plied by Messrs William Jones & Sons, jewel- lers, &c., Station-road, Colwyn Bay, Old Col- wyn, and Abergele. A BRIGHT FUTURE. Mr John Crompton (Treasurer of the Build- ing Fund) said he regretted the unfavourable weajther, but he was delighted so many sup- porters of the work had come toi show their sympathy, and, he hoped, practical help. They could not put stone and mortar together withou, money. The church ,was for the uplifting of thpeople and the glory of God. It had been .said ^that people did not know what to invest in. There was a good opportunity for finding an investment, not a five per cent. one, but the interest was one hundred per cent. and more when invested in that way. They would have God's glory in their midst. They were willing that any Free Church should come to Rhos, and Ilh did not think there would be any overlap- ping. The responses to the appeal for funds had so far been satisfactory. When an the cot. lections made £500 it was very satisfactory. When he left the house he received a subscrip- tion o.f £ 10 1 os., and the morning's post brought £ 1,600. They had undertaken the responsibility in obedience to. what they believed to be God's call to them. They looked to 'Him to give His blessing, and to 'His people for support. (Ap- plause.) The first stone was laid by Mrs Harold Barnes, the mallet being presented' to Mrs Barnes by Mr Elcock. The second stone was laid by Mrs Charles H. Eden, the mallet being presented by Mr Frost. The third stone was laid by Mrs James Sugden (for Mr Sugden), the mallet being presented by Mr Thorpe. The fourth stone was laid by Mr John Jones, Grims- by House, Colwyn Bay (deacon of the English Congregational Church, Colwyn Bay), the mal- let being presented to Mr Jones by Mrs Mab- bott. NEGLECTED RHOS. Mr John Jones said: When, the question of starting religious services in Rhos was men- tioned first, I began to think, and I soon came to feel that the people of Rhos were, to some extent, neglected. The Established Church was not far short of a mile away, and so was St. John's and the Welsh Methodist; so I was in favour of doing what I could towards establish- ing a cause of Christ in this growing place. I am not in favour of multiplying churches. I fear too much of that is being done these days but in this place, where there was not one place of worship within a little short of a mile, I thought we had cause to think of our fellow Christians of Rhos. So to-day we are laying tihe foundation stones, and I trust we are not seeking our own glory, but the glory of God. Possibly, a good many could and would more worthily do this work. I did not seek the hon- our, but I was pressed to accept it. Now my prayer is that this house may be a house for saving souls. May it xist for one object, and that is for cultivating good and honest minds in men and women. I have much pleasure in de- claring that this stone is well and truly laid. (Hear, hear.) him a lot; £ 200 had been subscribed, and he believed there were a great many more subscrip- tions in pockets. (Laughter.) The church would be built on very economical lines, and a site had been given by Mr Horton. Some critics had thought the site not very desirable, but the mora they looked into the matter, 'the more they felt it was a good one, and would be an ornament to the district. They were heavily handicapped in Colwyn Bay, but with a .special effort they were paying the debt off at the rate of £100 a year. He trusted the Rhos church would be soon free from debt, so that the new minister, when they had him, would not start his work with a mere pittance, but with a reasonable salary. (Applause.) Offerings were plaoed on the stones, and a collection made, and after the Rev. Peter Jones (pastor of the Welsh Baptist Church) had pro- nounced the Benediction, the company ad- journed to Frost's Cafe for tea, the proceeds of which, went towards the building fund. A public meeting was held in the Cafe in the evening, when the chair was taken by His Wor- ship the Mayor of Wrexham (Mr Thomas Sauvage). Prayer was offered by the Rev. G. B. File, Old Colwyn, and addresses relating to the day's event were .made by the Revs. H. N. Henderson, Bangor; Edward Jones, M.A., B.A., Rhyl; J. Irvon Davies, Llandudno; and T. Gasquoine, B.A., Bangor, and others. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING. The. site consists of over 2,000 square yarG-s of land situate at the corner of Tramway and Col- wyn-avenues. This was the gift of Mr William Horton to the trustees of the church. The pre- sent building consists of an assembly hall to easily seat 200 people, with two good class- rooms opening off same and separated by fold- ing partitions from the main school. Cloak rooms are also provided for men and women at the side of the two entrance doors,which opeii off Colwyn-avenue, and a caretaker's house is being provided at the rear of the school. The future intention is to have a range of vestries on the west side of the present school, and a church and tower on the Tramway-avenue side. It will be observed in this issue that simplicity, combined with dignity, is aimed at in the gen- eral design. Externally, a base of Bryn Euryn stone is Y, carried round the building to a height of about 4ft. 6in. from the ground, and above this the walls are pebble-dashed, and the roofs are to be covered with a dark brown hand-made tile. The whole design can be well studied from the admirable plana which were on view at Frost',s Cafe, and we may point out that in re- porting on the competition in which this design was placed first, the assessor, Mr Gass, of Bol. ton, very highly commended the design, and congratulated the committee on having obtained such a scheme. Internally, the strictest economy has been aimed at. The floors will be of pitch pine in narrow widths. The walls will be of plaster, with a simple woodmen dado, and the ceiling of plaster and pitch pine boarding, with wooden ribs dividing the ceiling into, panels. Clerestory windows will light the hall, which will also have large windows in the gables, and special care has been taken to insure thorough ventila- tion without draughts. When the whole is completed, we think it should form a very noteworthy addition to the local architectural features. 'The architects are Messrs J. M. Porter & Elcock, of The Estate Offices, Colwyn Bay, and the contract for the work was obtained by Mr Richard Williams, of Rhos-on-Sea. The handsome mallets referred to, were es- pecially designed for the occasion, and were of ebony and silver mounts, and the gifts of the architects.

Mr David Rhys, who. has been at the call of the party for some months, has now, it is understood, been, defin- itely selected to fight Mr Hemmerde in East Denbighshire. Mr Rhys is a Welshman and a Nonconformist who has been bitten severely by the Tariff Reform microbe. In times gone by he was an ardent Disestablisher. It will be interestin.g to know what place he will give to Welsh Disesttaiblishmeni; in his election address.

The lad then said that it was another boy who took the sticks, but when confronted with the other boy at school the following morning, he said, Yes, I did steal them." Martha Dee identified the sticks produced, as her property, which she valued at 2d each. The lad's father stated that it had been done without his knowledge. The Chairman Of course it was. Defendant said that he found the sticks outside Miss Dee's shop. He took them with the intention of making a whip, but gave them to another boy. It was stated that the boy had gained the prize for three years' full attendance at school. The lad and his father were bound over under the first Offender's Act. The Chairman said that the bench were shocked at the way in which tradespeople lett goods exposed outside their shops, which was a great temptation to little boys. It was to be hoped that this would be a hint to other tradespeople. Miss Dee I quite agree that it is not a good practice, but others do it, and I am therefore com- pelled to do the same.

Llanrwst Petty Sessions. A GLAN CONWAY CIHARACTER. On Monday, before Messrs 0. Isgoed Jones and W. J. Williams. Roger Evans, Penrhiw Isa' Glan Conway, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in the village on the 13th inst. P.C. David Williams said that at 10 p.m. on Monday, the 13th instant, he saw defendant on the highway leading to Glanymor. He was drunk and making use of bad language, and challenging some men to fight. He partly had his coat off, and witness could see there was a fight brewing, and he took him away from the men. He was obliged to take him part of the way home and threaten, to lock him up before he desisted from his behaviour. The officer stated that when sober, defendant never took any notice of him (witness), but when in drink he would go a mile after him to argue witn him. 'Supt. Beresford said he also had a report .3Jgain,grt defendant for a similar offence on the following day; but as this case was hanging over him, he did not issue a second summons. Defendant had been previously convicted on four different occasions, the last being in 1907. The Chairman said defendant did not seem to be the best of characters at Glan Conway, and from the evidence of the officer, he was bordering on being a nuisance. Drink evidently moidered his head, and he advised him to leave the drink alone. They would be lenient with him and inflict a fine of 5s. and costs (12s. 6d. in all). The Defendant: I won't pay anything to-day. I told my wife I would not bring any money with me. I'll pay again, and if that won't do, keep me up. The Chairman Will you pay P.C. Williams? Defendant: Oh, no! Supt. Beresford He seems to be defying the Court. Mr C. T. Allard (Clerk) Has he any goods? P.C. Williams: Yes. The Clerk (to defendant) If you don't pay. a distress warrant will be issued against you. The defendant immediately went into his pocket and brought out a sovereign and some silver.

Sad Drowning Case at Rhyl. A HUSBAND'S LAST MESSAGE. A number of ladies who happened to be near the foreshore to the east of Rhyl about dusk on Thursday evening, observed a long way off, a man fully dressed walk into the sea. The manner in which he floundered about convinced them that something was wrong, and they at once got into telephone communication with the police. On the arrival of the latter, however, the body of the man had been taken from the water by a number of men and carried to the sandhills. The body has been identified as that of Edward Jones, a draughtman, who formerly lived at Dyserth with his wife and mother-in-law. It is stated that at one time he held a comfortable position at Haslingden, Lancashire, but latterly had given way to drink, and his wife had obtained a separ- ation order against him from the Rhyl magistrates. The man had since been endeavouring to find employment apparently, but without success. Address this to the treasurer at Wapping Dock, Liverpool. You will receive 4s. 3d. This is pro- bably farewell. I am going on the sands, and may remain. Once Will.—I slept in a field last night, and I am finished." This was the letter posted by him to his wife at Dyserth, near Rhyl, without a stamp. About the time that the letter was delivered the body of the husband was found in a foot of water between Rhyl and Prestatyn. At the inquest held at Rhyl on Saturday by Mr. Deputy Coroner Roberts-Jones, the wife stated that for several years her husband had given way to drink, and she had obtained a separation order six weeks ago. She last saw him alive at Dvserth on Wednesday night, but although she passed quite close to him he was to drunk to see her. She added that after a bout of drinking her husband had fits of giddeness and would fall down. Evidence was given that Jones was seen in Rhyl on Thursday going towards the sands, and that he had the appearance of a man who was either drunk or famished. In another letter found in his pocket he had written I wish I was dead. It would be a good thing for me if I was so. I should be away from here. If I could get work or something to do, so that I could get away. I should be glad to to get away." The jury returned a verdict of found drowned.
