PENMAENMAWR.
PENMAENMAWR. YOUNG MEN'S DISGRACEFUL CON- DUCT.—On Monday, at a special Police Court, at Conway, before Dr. R. Arthur-Prichard and the Mayor (Mr. John Williams), two young men from Penmaenmawr were brought up in custody charged with being drunk and disorderly at Conway on the Saturday night. They were John Roberts, a labourer living at 3, New York- terrace, and John Jones, also a labourer, living at 12, Bell Cottages. Sergeant Evans and P.C. Davies gave evidence of finding the men in High-street creating a disturbance by fighting at midnight, and they added that Roberts was challenging the best man in Conway to fight, and he defied the police to send him home. The Deputy Chief Constable stated that there were numerous complaints about the conduct of some young men who came over to Conway on Saturday nights. They made it a practice to lose the last train home, and afterwards re- mained in the public-houses until 11 o'clock. There was usually a disturbance between 11 p.m. and midnight, caused mostly by these men, and the police found considerable diffi- culty in getting them away. The defendants in this case had been locked up since Saturday night. The magistrates fined Roberts 10s. and costs and Jones 5s. and costs. G.F.S.—The meeting in connection with the Girls' Friendly Society, which should, have been held on the 24th May last, has been postponed to Thursday next. A GOOD AGE.—On Friday Mrs. Symonds, who resided with her daughter, Mrs. Robinson, Plas Ucha', passed away at the ripe age of 98 years. She was well known in the village and' very highly respected. The funeral took place on Tuesday, at the Capelulo Cemetery. LIGHTING EXPERIMENTS. Following upon the experiments made by the local Coun- cil with electric light and petrol gas for the purpose of illuminating the promenade, the Gas Company have come forward, and on Thursday night made experiments with high power in- candescent gas burners, which were erected on the promenade. An excellent light was seen. The experiment was repeated on Tuesday night, when the members of the Council attended. THE T.I.A.—This Association has done ex- cellent work to advertise Penmaenmawr as a seaside resort. They have issued practical guides for which there has been an average call by intending visitors of 1,200 per annum. Last year of all there were 1,038 direct applications to the Secretary. The Association this year have reason to complain of the very little interest taken in their labours by a certain section of the community, who have this year refused to support the movement by advertising in the guide, with the result that the Association has been compelled to issue a number of guides without any advertisements. It cannot be doubted that the Association has been the means of making Penmaenmawr so popular for the last five or six years, but the ratepayers who benefit mostly from these visitors must re- member that they must continue to advertise the attractions of the neighbourhood or other seaside resorts will capture the English visitor. It is to be sincerely hoped that the Association will receive the support that it deserves. THE PRICE OF GAS.-At the meeting of the Urban District Council, on Tuesday night, Mr. Edison Stone, the Secretary of the Holy- head and North Wales Gas and Water Corpora- tion, Ltd., wrote stating that he was pleased to report that his directors had decided to reduce the price of gas at Penmaenmawr from the 1st of July next as follows:—Gas used for lighting reduced to 4s. gd. net; gas used for cooking, 4s. 2d. net; and gas used for public lighting, 4s. 6d. net. The directors expressed the hope that the Council would co-operate with the Company in furthering the use of gas, that the results predicted by the Council's deputation might be realised, thereby encouraging his di- rectors in their desire to sell as cheaply as pos- sible. THE GOLF LINKS.—The formal opening of the new golf links at Penmaenmawr takes place to-day (Thursday), when exhibition games will be played by Mr. J. P. Humphreys, Kidder- minster, Midland amateur champion, and Mr. T. C. Mellor, Llandudno and Manchester. The winner of these two will be played by Mr. Fred Collins, the Llandudno professional. CHILDREN'S SERVICES.—These services, which are held annually during the month of August on the beach, have become very popu- lar along the Coast, and an application for the usual permission at Penmaenmawr was granted by the local Council on Tuesday. PROPERTY SALE.—On Tuesday an im- portant sale of shop property and well-placed freehold building land and cottages was con- ducted by Mr. F. A. Dew, auctioneer, at the Grand Hotel, by instructions from the execu- tors of the late Mr. John Jones, Glasgow House. There was a good gathering, but the bidding was somewhat slow. Lot i comprised the shop and dwelling-house known as Brad- ford House, situte on the Bangor-road, and now in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Roberts, and containing excellent accommodation. The pro- perty is leasehold for 99 years from November, 1865, with an annual ground rent of Z6. The bidding started with £ 200, and slowly it rose to ^250, when it was knocked down to Coun- cillor Thomas Roberts, who purchased it on behalf of the tenant. Lot 2 was Nos. 9 and 10, Caerwen-terrace, situated in Penmaenan, and this was withdrawn at ^150. There was no offer for 20 and 21, Chapel-street. The most important lot was the six freehold cottages known as the Kiosks," situated in Station- road East, together with a centrally situated corner piece of building land adjoining the same with frontages to Station-road East and Con- way-road, as well as having an excellent sea view. The bidding for this valuable lot com- menced at £200, which the auctioneer described as an unreasonable figure, although it doubled the bid offered by another gentleman, and which he refused. This lot was subsequently withdrawn at £525. The last lot was the valu- able freehold building land situated below the Tabernacle, with a frontage of about 36 yards to Celyn-street, and containing an area of about 1,540 square yards. There was no offer for this lot, and it was accordingly withdrawn. The solicitors for the vendors were Messrs. Porter, Amphlett, and Co., Conway and Pen- maenmawr, who were represented at the sale by Mr. James Porter and Mr. Hughes. VITAL STATISTICS.—At the meeting of the local Council, on Tuesday, the Medical Officer of Health reported that during the month of May there were six births and three deaths, as compared with eight deaths and three births for the cotresponding month last year.

It was then divided into four lots, and subsequenlty to smaller lots, but the offers did not bring about a sale. Since the sale, however, several offers to purchase have been made. The solici- tor for the vendor is Mr. E. E. Bone, Llan. dudno. RESIGNATION.—It is with regret that we hear that Mr. J. W. P.

CAERHUN.
CAERHUN. TAN'RALLT.ROAD.-At the meeting of the Conway Rural District Council on Friday, the Highway Surveyor reported that the rocks on portions of Tan'rallt-road, which had become rough and dangerous to traffic had been cut up, and the road was now very much improved. PARISH CHURCH.—Mrs. Hugh Gough has just presented to the Church of St. Mary, in Caerhun parish, a beautiful hymn board. The panel is of oak surmounted by a crested mould- ing in Gothic style. Carved in deep relief on the upper portion of the panel is a Royal Crown, with lines radiating upwards. In high relief below is carved the one word Gloria," and in the lower portion the words In Ex. celsis." The frame and rails are delicately carved in Gothic tracery, and the hymn num- bers are slipped through the horizontal rails. The hymn board was carved by Mrs. Hugh Gough in the Jersey School of Wood-Carving, which she founded three years ago in St. Heliers. It now has over 60 members, and some good work is being produced, and many orders taken. The classes are managed by a principal and an assistant master, with a small committee, secretary, and treasurer.—On Satur- day afternoon last the pupils, about 50, of Mrs. Hugh S. Gough's carving class were entertained to a drive and tea at St. Brelade's. Miss Cox- head, the instructress, thanked Mrs. Gough on behalf of the class for her keen interest in the work, and expressed their great regret at her departure from the Island. In reply Mrs. Gough stated that she was very sorry to say farewell, but if the class really meant their thanks they would continue members of the class. She would, however, pay them a visit next year, and then she would inspect the class, and hoped that there would be considerable advance in their work. Mrs. Gough then referred to their indebtedness to the Assembly of the Governor, Bailiff, and Jurats for their grant to the class, which showed that they now recognised the necessity of technical education.

Princes Theatre, Llandudno.
Princes Theatre, Llandudno. Excellent entertainments continue to be given at this theatre, but the programmes have had to be curtailed somewhat for a few days, owing to the carrying out of certain requirements by the local Bench. On Monday evening, Mr. Arnold Macara, the lessee and manager, made a short speech, referring to the matter. He was received with great applause by the audience. He stated that he wished to say a few words regarding the pictures, which had not been presented since last Thursday. The unkind reports which had been circulated were totally untrue. The reason why the pictures had been stopped, he did not know, but he would find out, and do his best to get them going again at any cost, and he hoped he would be able to throw the pictures upon the screen the next night, but if not then, he hoped to get them sooner or later. The police had simply walked in and closed the cinematograph box. All he asked for now was for a continu- ance of the patronage he had been generously receiving. His patrons had been kind to him in the past, and he hoped they would stand by him in the future whilst he was in trouble. The speech was greeted with great enthusiasm. When the curtain was dropped the audience did not leave, and as Mr. Macara descended the stage steps to the auditorium, the enthusiasm was re- newed.
IA Llanrwst Tragedy.
I A Llanrwst Tragedy. i' CHILD DROWNED WHILST AT PLAY. 1-1 On Thursday evening, at about eight o'clock, the whole town of Llanrwst was thrown into a LI state of considerable excitement by the sad news that a little boy had been drowned in the Con- way at a point above the Bridge. ;r The unfortunate little lad was Harold Lloyd, e the nine year old son of Mrs. Lloyd, Tu Hwnt t. i'r Bont. It appears that he was playing on the s, river bank at a spot known as the Gwydyr Quay is Pool, just at the end of the wall which terminates I- the path known as the River Walk, and that he t, dropped a stick which he had in his handt nto the water. He was accompanied by two or y three little children about his own size, and, according to their story, he appears to have at- 1,1 tempted to reach his stick, in doing which he Ie overbalanced and fell in. At that spot the water il is about ten or twelve feet deep. The children raised an alarm, and several persons, who were e in the cricket field, rushed to the spot, only, r. however, to find that they were too late. The T, little one had just disappeared for the last time. Harry Roberts, Ellis Roberts, and others at it once divested themselves of their clothing and entered the water, whilst Mr. H. E. Blackwall, y with the aid of waders and salmon gaff, probed all likely spots. Later on a boat was procured e from Plas Madoc, and with this the search was a kept up until a late hour, but in vain. j THE SEARCH RENEWED. e On Friday the search was renewed with vigour. e The boat was manned by several parties in turns, armed with grappling irons, and other appli- s ances, and the whole length was searched as far t as Gower's Bridge, Mr. H. E. Blackwall doing 5 excellent work underneath the edge of the bank in his waders. An additional boat was brought up on Friday afternoon by Mr. H. Hawksley 3 Smith, Trefriw, but the whole day's work was > of no avail. 1 The same efforts were again put forth during Saturday and part of Sunday and Monday, In- spector Wyse continuing the search with deter- mination. On Tuesday, at noon, the Inspector, assisted by one John Jones, Red Lion, and 1 Lovell, again dragged the Pool, and worked as far as the Rectory Pool, when John Jones ob- served the body in mid-stream face downwards in about six feet of water. The body was se- cured with the grappling irons and conveyed to the stricken home. which is close by. A re- ward of two pounds, kindly given by Messrs. Watling, T. T.atimer Jones, Charlton, Jenkins, and Ross, had been posted up a few hours, when the efforts of this party met with success, much to the relief of the whole of the townspeople, who deeply sympathise with the bereaved mother and family in their sad grief. CORONER'S INQUIRY. The inquest was held on Tuesday evening by the Coroner, Mr. J. Pentir Williams. Mr. T. R. Williams, Trefriw, was elected foreman of the jury. Alice Ann Davies, Scotland-street, who gave evidence of identification, testified that on Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, she was standing on the stone wall just behind where the deceased was with three other children. He was fishing with a small cane, to which some string was attached. She warned them of the danger of standing where they were. Shortly after this the boy's stick fell into the water, and in attempting to reach it he slipped into the river. He was standing at the time on a stone. He fell into the water on his face and turned over on his back, and was carried down the stream with the current. She attempted to save him, but she could do nothing. She followed him until he went out of sight, some yards lower down than the spot where he fell in. She knew that every effort had been made to discover the body, but without success, until that day (Tues- day), when he was found about 300 yards lower down than where he fell in. The Coroner said the child had given her evi- dence very clearly and well, and the case ap- peared quite simple. It was a case of accidental drowning. Police-Inspector James Wyse, Llanrwst, said he went out that day (Tuesday) with four more men, and they commenced dragging the river where the deceased fell in and continued until they reached the Rectory Pool, when one of the men, John Jones, called his attention to some- thing at the bottom of the river. They got the irons and recovered the body. They had been at it each day continuously since the accident occurred. A verdict of Accidentally drowned was passed, and on the motion of the Foreman, seconded by Mr. H. E. Blackwall, a vote of sym- pathy with the bereaved mother was passed. Mr. Blackwall moved that they convey to Inspector Wyse their best thanks for the enthu siastic manner in which he had worked ever since the accident had occurred. It was by dint of perseverance on his part that the body was found that day. This was seconded by Mr. Robert Evans, and carried. The Inspector thanked them for their kind words, and said there were others also who had worked equally as hard..
