Prison Reforms.
Prison Reforms. NO MORE TREAD MILLS. The past yeai, says the Prison Commission- ers' report, has seen the almost complete pass- ing away of the tread mill from the British prison system. They note with satisfaction the final conversion of the old treadwheel house into an associated taobur workshop at Birmingham, Manchester, and Norwich. The substitution of industrial labour for the old- time crank and II mill," the Commissioners note, has beeu an unqualified success, and has proved the greatest benefit to the moral character of the prisoners employed. The next difficult step, they add, is to find suitable alternatives for oakum picking, which is an undesirable form of labour, being repel- ent to the prisioners and of no value as a training for industrial life outside the prisons. The subject is receiving careful attention, in the hope that a solution may be discovered at an early date. It is an emphatic testimony to the value of the new method of employment to observe the improved be- haviour of local prisoners now that they are permitted to work in shops, halls, and other open spaces on the termination of four weeks' imprisonment, instead of being confined to their cells for several months. The discipline is these working parties is excellent.
Incorporation of St. Dogmaels…
Incorporation of St. Dogmaels Refused. Rarely does it happen that a borough de- clines offers of extending its boundary yet the case of Cardigan and St Dogmaels is a case in point. Recently St Dogmaels made appli- cation to be incorporated in the borough of Cardigan, and Town Council. Owing to the expense which would have to be incurred in providing drainage, water supply, etc., resol- ved to submit the question to the burgesses at a public meeting, and this was held at the Guildhall on Wednesday of last week, under the presidency of Councillor Thos Watkins (Mayor) The Borough Surveyor read a re- port; estimated cost of drainaga, £771 12s 61 water supply, JE674 18s 4 J; maintenance of highways, £91 63 lOd per annum. Besides these charges there would be items for scaveng- ing and lighting and the cost of education. The Town Clerk said there would be a sum of £214 103 101 which could not be met by the rites on the present valuation of the village; hence, there would be a loss to the borough. Replying to the criticism of burgesses, the Rev David Morgan, St Dogmells, who appear- ed to support the application of the rate- payers of St Dogmells, said they were pleased with the estimates of the borough surveyor, but urged it was not necessary to carry oat all the specified improvements at the same time. After further discussion the question was submitted to the meeting, and all present voted against the proposed admission on the score of extra" burden that would be imposed on the borough, and the probability that the County Councils of Pembroke and Cardigan would object to the scheme.
Wreck of the < Royal Charter'…
Wreck of the < Royal Charter' Re-called. Many in the neighbourhood can recall the wreck of the Royal Charter," and it is interest- ing to state that another search foi lost treasure is about to begin under the auspices of a British company. This time it is gold brought from Australia in 1859 that is the object of the search. It is believed to be in or near a wreck at Moelfro, on the coast of Anglesey. The wreck in question jva& one of the most terrible in seafaring annals. The lioyal Charter,5 a full-rigged ship, sailed from an Australian port with nearly 500 persons, crew and passengers, on board. A large proportion of the passengers were gold- diggers who had made their pile,' and were returning home as rich men. Thd gold they brought with them was contained partly in belts boxes owuers' ^)U'; mainly in two great ihe value of all the gold on the ship is esti- mated at more than £ 1,500,000. 1 he Itoyal Charter' struck on a reef at Moelfro, and became a total wreck. Four hundred and lifty-nine of her crew and passengers were drowned. Tkere have been many efforts to recover the gold from the wreck, and it is under- stood that the smaller of the chests that contain- ed the bulk of the treasure was found at an early period. Dwellers along the coast prolitted by digging in the sands, and even in recent years prospecting of this sort has been rewarded occa- sionally by the discovery of a few coins. The wreck is still in existence and partly visi- ble. The bow of the vessel is hard on a rock, but the stern is embedded in sand. It is the plan now to destroy the wreck with dynamite, and search by diving and dredging in the debris for some of the treasure chests, preparations for the work are in active progress at Holyhead, Councillor Edward Owen, who is an expert in such matters, will superintend the operations.
BOAT CAPSIZED AT MILFORD HAVEN.
BOAT CAPSIZED AT MILFORD HAVEN. A sad case of drowning occurred at Milford on Saturday evening. TheBrixham smack 'Kegard' was on the Gridiron outside the docks against the wall, midway between the Old Slipway and the mackeral stage. About 5 o'clock the tide was fast reaching flood, and preparations were being made for the vessel to be taken into dock. With this object the boat, with the mate, third hand, and the apprentice aboard, proceeded out into the stream to drop the anchor and then pull the smack off her berth into deep water. A strong easterly breeze was blowing and caused a nasty back-wash. When about 15 yards off the ship this back-wash went over the stern of the boat and swamped it, the three occupants being thrown into the water. The mate and the lad managed to struggle back to the vessel and were saved, but the third hand, who could not swim, was drowned. Mis body was picked up on the shore at 1 o'clock on Sunday morning. The deceased was Fred Baitlett, aged 21, and was brother-in-law to the skipper, Harry Worth.

Haverfordwest Baptist College…
Haverfordwest Baptist College Endowments. A meeting of the Pembrokeshire Education Committee (Mr S B Sketch in the chair) was held at Haverfordwest on Friday last when the Charities Sub-Committee reported that they had considered the draft scheme sub- mitted by the Board of Education for the administration of the endowments of the late Haverfordwest Baptist Colfbge. The committee recommended the authority to oppose the scheme on the ground that its intention was to devote to the Baptist colleges in Wales generally endowments belonging to the Pem- brokeshire Baptist denomination. The committee further recommended that the Board be asked to amend the scheme so that the income should be devoted to scholarships and bursaries for young men from the county of Pembroke who are training for the ministry or as an alternative that the income be applied towards establishing a preparatory school in Haverfordwest for young men from the district who intend entering the ministry also that the majority of the trustees appointed under the scheme should be appointed by the Pem- brokeshire Education Authority. These re- commendations were adopted.—The clerk read a letter informing the committee that the Director of Education (Mr H E H James) had been nominated a member of the Mosely Education Commission, which was proceeding to America. The director said his tour would entail no expense on the authority, and one of | the conditions of his appointment was that he should make a report to his own committee. j The committee decided to give the director leave of absence for six weeks to accompany the commission.—A letter had been received from the Board of Education stating that the authority were running the risk of incurring a very heavy penalty by failing to provide a certificated teacher for Walwyn's Castle Non- provided School. The director had prepared a draft letter in reply, and this was approved. It stated that the fault did not lie with the Education Committee, which had furnished applicants, but the managers had failed to appoint. If there was any fault, therefore, it rested with the local managers, or with the law, which permitted dual control over schools
,Up Mails Delayed.
Up Mails Delayed. To read some of the headlines respecting railway accidents would lead people to be- lieve that the engines or carriages had gone to smash. A breakdown on the Whitland and Cardigan branch was nothing more serious than the electric staff,' used on signal lines, could not be taken out of the apparatus through a temporary defect in the electrical workings. Not, as many would naturally conclude, a breakdown of the rolling-stock. Before running over any one section the engine-driver must receive the stall and until he obtains this simple passport he is forbidden to preceed until—in the event of the staff being unobtainable—a pilot arrives, from the station to which the train is bound, to take the train over the section. Through such a dislocation on Thursday evening last the 6.15 train from Whitland was detained at Llanfallteg, and the mail train due at Whitland at 7.10 was delayed at Llan- glydwen until a pilot engine arrived from Llanglydwen, and after conducting the de- layed train to Llanglydwen, brought back the mail to Llanfallteg, which only arrived. at Whitland at 8.40—one and a half hours late. The up London mail had been despatched, as was also the down train for Neyland, but the last down Whitland to Pembroke Dock train was kept waiting. The up passengers, of which there was a few in number, and the London mails were despatched by a special train to Carmarthen, where the letters were dealt with in order to save as little delay as possible. The breakdown was made good early Oil Friday morning.
FAIRS AND MARKETS.
FAIRS AND MARKETS. The Lampeter October fair took place on Friday. It is one of the principal fairs held during the year. There was a good supply of horses and colts, as well as cattle and pigs. Demand, however, was not great, owing to scarcity of buyers. Newcastle Emlyn Fair, held on the same day, having attracted many buyers to that town. Milch cows were from £14 to £19, two-year-olds £9 to £11, year- lings JE6 10s to £8 10s, small cattle JE5 to £6 10s. The horses were good but slow, and an exceptionally good show of colts was seen. Pigs were in fair demand, and sold at from 15s to 18s apiece. At Carmarthen on Saturday last very ordinary supply of butter was offered for sale and quickly disposed of at last week's full price, viz., from Is to Is Id per lb. Farmers again tried to advance. Weather cold: white frost. Several dairies of excel- lent cheese were pitched, and the best quality was soon bought up at from 32s to 35s per cwt.
Goodwick Case at the County…
Goodwick Case at the County Court. SEVERAL CLAIMS DISALLOWED. Mr D Edward Thomas, architect, Haver- fordwest, sought to recover from Mr J R Davies, licensed victualler, and agent for the Swansea Brewery Company at Goodwick, the sum of £10 10s., for plany and specifications for two villas at Fishguard. Mr W J Jones, solicitor, Haverfordwest, appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendant conducted his own case. Mr Thomas stated that he was employed by the defendant to draw up plans and specifi- cations for two villas at Fishguard in 1902. His charge for the plans and specification and for attending before the Haverfordwest Rural District Council to obtain sanction for the erection of the villas was £7 18. There was a charge of two guineas for pegging out the two plots of land, which the defendant purchased, and which, irT his capacity as sur- veyor of the estate, he had to charge all pur- chasers, and there was a charge of ten shil- lings, the defendant's share of his fee tor measuring a party wall. He considered the charges reasonable. The defendant had taken no notice of the letters he had sent him. The defendant stated that he never agreed to pay Mr Thomas more than two guineas for the plans, in fact, he did not think that gentleman was entitled to make any charge. He considered the plans were to be drawn up free as a set off against the business obtained by him for Mr Thomas. Mr Thomas had £5 for the plans and £30 for superintending the erection of the Hope and Anchor, for which he, the defendant, was responsible in his capacity as agent for the Swansea Brewery Company. As he, the defendant, did the most of Mr Thomas' work for him, he con- sidered that the plaintiff owed him JE15. As to the fee of two guineas paid for the pegging out of the land he purchased, he bought a freehold piece of land, and it was for the ven- dors to pay any charges of that kind. The 10s was not due by him to Mr Thomas, be- cause that gentleman was engaged to measure the wall by the property owner on the other side. By the Judge He was not a builder, being in fact a licensed victualler, but he knew more about measuring than Mr Thomas. He admitted that his plans had to receive the sanction of the District Council. His Honour gave judgment for £7 18s., and disallowed the other claims.

The timber-laden barque Asvilla arrived at Swansea with her bulwarks smashed as the result of a stormy voyage from Canada. Her crew say that during three days heavy sas broke over the vessel, and in order to sive the ship it was found necessiry to jettison the cargo. The galley, and some of the deck houses were washed away, and several of the crew had narrow escapes. While the sub-postmaster and were counting gold on a counter at a post- office in Manchester on Friday, a man rushed into the office, presented a pistol at the post- master's head, seized about £80 in money, and decamped. The Swedish steamer Olans Olsaen on Satur- day night collided with the staging of the southern breakwater in Dover Harbour. Two large cranes crashed down on to the steamer doing much damage. The crew were land- ed.
