FROM THE "CARMARTHEN JOURNAL," FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1814. At a numerous and most respectable meeting at Cardigan, on Wednesday week, convened by the High Sheriff of the county, for the humane pur- pose of setting on foot a subscription, for alleviating the distresses of the unfortunate Germans, who have experienced beyond the power. of expression, the privation and horrors occasioned by the late war, in the North of Europe, the same was imme- diately carried into effect, and there is every pros- pect of a considerable sum being accumulated in the above district, in furtherance of that laudable object. It affords us real pleasure to add, that the Adju- tant, Quarter-Master and Permanent Non-com- missioned Officers, &c., of the Royal Clarence Local Militia, at Cardigan, have, in a manner highly creditable to their humanity and liberality, subscribed two days' pay, each, for the same benevolent purpose. The following melancholy circumstances occurred this day se'nnight, near our Quay. Thomas Vaughan, a labourer, of this place, while in the act of dis- into another, fell overboard, and was unfortunately drowned, leaving a wife and four children to bewail his loss. Two men and a woman had on Saturday evening last a narrow escape from being drowned, in ford- ing the river Gwilly, near this town, on horseback. The latter was with great difficulty rescued from her perilous situation, by the exertions of two or three men, who fortunately happened to be at hand. The above ford being extremely dangerous, from the quantity of large stones which, during a flood, are constantly rolling- down the bed of the river, we feel much satisfaction in learning, that a subscription has been set on foot for the erection of a bridge near the same, partly of stone and partly of wood; similar, we apprehend, to that at Llanybythcr, near Lampeter; and we trust, that an undertaking so essential to the safety and accont- modation of the public, will not fail to meet with due support. Milford, May 4.—The late unfavourable weather and southerly winds have for some days past pre- vented the sailing of his Majesty's ship Rochefort, lately launched at this port; but yesterday morn- ing, the wind veering to the eastward, the signal was made, and about two in the afternoon a fresh breeze springing up from the N. E. presented a most gratifying sight: the Rochefort was immedi- ately under weigh, and with a crowd of sail, accom-1 panied by his Majesty's brigs Foxhound and Avon, proceeded down the haven in beautiful style, and by four they were completely clear of the harbour. The waves with Eastern breezes curl'd, Had silver'd half the liquid plain; The anchors weigh'd, the sails unfurl'd, Serenely mov'd the wooden world, And stretched along the main." On Monday evening the ship Success, Captain Parry, of and from London for Liverpool, laden with Porter, &c., arrived at Milford; during the last thick weather, she got on shore at Grasholm Island, about 10 o'clock at night, and it being ebb- time, under the idea thrffc she would be inevitably lost. the crew it appears refused to stay by her, and took to the boat; this determination obliged the master, reluctantly to accompany them, and having rowed towards the shore they made St. Ann's Head, and soon after got on board the Dili- gence revenue cutter, Captain Dobbin, lying in Dale Road. It is now ascertained that the ship bore the beating on the rocks until the flood tide floated her off, when she was fallen in with about half a mile from Brasholm, by the brig Venus, of Belfast, Capt. Pendleton, who put part of his crew on board and took possession of her; soon after they were found by the Sandwich Packet, Captain Jenkins, who also put two of his men on board, and after by the Diligence cutter, having the master and crew; these were replaced in their ship with additional men from the cutter's crew, to assist in pumping and getting her into the harfoour, which was happily effected, and she is now hauled on shore to repair the damages sustained.

BIRTHS. At Monachty, Cardiganshire, the lady of A. T. Jones Gwynne, Esq., of a son. At (Furnaco Lodge, im this town, Mrs. Smith, wife of R. Smith, Esq., of a son. MARRIED. On Thursday last, at St. Peter's Church, in thia town, Mr. John Davies, linen-draper, to Mary, second daughter of Mr. Davies, of Cwmdu-mawr, both of the said parish. DIED. Last night, in this town, after a lingering illness, Edward Shannon, Esq., formerly a surgeon on the staff of the British Army in America, and after- wards in the West Indies. Mr. Shannon was a native of Ireland; amongst the Amateurs of Music he held a high rank, he possessed a fund of anec- dote, and his deportment was distinguished by the L ■■ — most gentlemanly manners. His loss will long be remembered with regret by his relatives and friends. In Bartholomew-close, the Rev. Owen Perrott Edwardes, in his 34th year, 45 years Rector of St. Bartholomew the Great, London; and formerly of Haverfordwest. On the 29th ult., at Pwllhely, Mr. Humphrey Evans, Master of the sloop Providence, of Aber- ystwith. At Aberayron. Cardiganshire, Thomas, eldest eon of the Rev. Mr. Evans.

LAUGHARNE NOTES The annual general meeting of the Laugharne Cricket Club was held in the Town Hall on Tues- day, the 28th ult., the Vicar presiding. The balance sheet showed an amount of L12 7s Id in hand at the end of last sea-son, September 29th. 1913. The ac- counts had been audited by Mr. W. E. Edwards, and were accepted as correct. The appointment of committee and officers followed. Mr. H. Eccles, J.P., Broadway Mansion, was re-elected president with the following gentlemen:—Vice-presidents, Rev. J. Thomas, M.A., R.D., Rev. W. L. Davies (Hillside), Rev. F. A. Thomas, B.A. (Port Eynon); Colonel Bolton; Caphinc-uekley (Castell Gorfod); Lieutenant Brayshay, R.N Messrs. M Jones, J P., W. H. Dempster. J.P., C.C., W. Towers Smith, J. R. LL Starke, J. D. Morse, J.P., E. J. Head, F. E. H. Peel, and E. Baker (Llanddowror). Mr. R. H. Tyler was re-elected hon. treasurer, while tho duties of hon. sees. will be in the capable hands of Messrs. M. Williams and Alf Childs. These two gentlemen were also elected captain and vice cap- tain respectively. The .general committee consists of Messrs. E Isaac, A. Edwards, G. Dalton, R. Bolton, F. C. Wardle, W. E. Edwards, W. Jeremy, W. J. L. Thomas, W. Griffiths, rl. Tucker, H. Griff ith and R. MacConnel. The following were ap- pointed a match committee, viz. Messrs. M. Wil- liams, A. Childs, F. C. Wardle, E. Isaac, A. Ed- wards. It was decided that regular full practice nghts should be on Monday and Wednesday evenings A very hearty vote of thanks was accorded the hon. sec. (Rev. F. A. Thomas, B.A.) for his many years of untiring efforts for the welfare of the club. Mr. Thomas in reply stated that it had been an un- bounded pleasure to him during his residence in Laugharne. He had always found plenty of en- thusiasm not only amongst the players but amongst the supporters: too. He hoped he might have an opportunity to assist Lauigharne team if ever they were shoro. He wished them a successful and pros- perous year which he felt sure would be the result of the excellent and energetic officers they had elected. It was arranged to practice as soon as the ground had received the attention necessary after some damp weather—(which now has arrived). The choice of enptain and vice-captain is a very happy one indeed. Mr. Williams is the veteran cricketer of Laugharne, and his long experience well fits him to steer his team to victory. I am con- fident too, that he will receive the whole hearted support oi every player. In his young vice, he has a thorough enthusiast too. On Wednesday, 29th ult. Miss Bolton's long looked ior concert was a huge success. It was purely a ehiJdrenJs concert—with dancing for adults after- wards. To attempt to name all the young artistes would be a task too great—and as all deserved high- est credit it is best to say "you all did admirably." The children in their gay costumes bedecked with wild flowers presented a very pretty spectacle The items would have been better performed and cer- tainly more appreciated had there been a platform erected. Anyhow, Miss Bolton's efforts were crowned with success.. and everybody appeared happy and delighted. The proceeds are devoted to the Sunday School Funds. Some of the children on iFridav last kept May Day by dancing around the May Pole in various parts of the town, and at various houses. The Cinema has gone—as most people expected. It was open nightly and was really beyond the re- quirements of the town. A small population cannot support such a venture sufficiently well to remu- nerate the proprietor for his time and outlay, as well as pay expenses which no doubt are heavy.

CONSCIENTIOUS.—Five hours were employed by the county commissioners at Washington, U.S.A., in selecting tenders for some printing work, the cost of which amounted to 3s. lOd.

GARNANT FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDEXT.-At the Cawdor Col- liery, Garnant, last week, David Edward James (32), fireman, Cwmgorse. met with a fatal accident. It appears he had occasion to inspect a place whu n was unsafe, and while in the act of fetching timber a stone, about 5ft. in length, fell on him, death being instantaneous. Deceased, who was a popular offi- cial of the colliery, leaves a widow and five chil- dren, with whom the deepest sympathy is felt. On Thursday, the 30th ult., an inquest was held on the body by Mr. Wilson (the deputy coroner). Mr. Footo, inspector of mines, Bridgend, was present.— Evidence, of identification was given by James Edwards.—William John Morgan, Garnant, said he was employed close to the scene of the accident about 9.15 p.m. He noticed that the place was squeezing, and therefore sent for deceased, who was a fireman. The place was found to be unsafe for them to work in. and deceased told them to go back to fetch some timber. As witness and deceased were returning a stone—about 5ft. in length—fell with- out any warning, and struck deceased on the head. When the stone was removed deceased was dead. There was timber about, two yards away. A verdict of Accidental death was returned by the jury.

BRYNAMMAN NOTES ltlY PARK LANE."] Owing to the fact that their grounds at Waun Esgyrn are inclined to be marshy, the Brynamman Football Team cannot gain admission into the League. This places our footballers at a great dis- advantage, for certain teams have shown a fondness for neglecting to play their return matches at Bryn- amman. A movement is on foot, however, to thoroughly drain the ground as soon as possible, and it is expected that the cost will amount to nearly fifty pounds. The sum which the team has in hand is about twenty-five pounds, and it is intended to approach Mr. Roland Williams, the lessee of the Public Hall, and who is known to be a thorough sportsman to see whether he will support the team by igiving them a benefit night at the Public Hall. Surely Brynamman, which is at least 18 miles distant from any sea, is the most unlikely place for a whale to be stranded at! Last Thursday week, during the fair, the animal was on show-at a penny a time—but by Friday it had inconsiderably died, and had been pitched in ignominy at the side of the highway on the Banwen. It is said that the bulky brute, which the showmen had simply covered over with pieces of canvas, is already protesting! While considering a heavy sick-list the committee of a Brynamman friendly society were informed that a certain member had been on the funds for some six weeks. "What is he suffering from?" a com- mitteeman asked. "Headache" was the reply. "Well. by Jingo," exclaimed the questioner, "We had better buy him a 'Daisy' at once-it will be cheaper for us! Mr. William loan Davies. Brvnamman-road, will ohortly take over Brynbach Farm. He was success- ful out of thirteen applicants, and his many friends will wish him success in his new venture. Two interments took place at Brynamman on Saturday last. One was that of Mrs. Morgans, the widow of Mr. Jacob Morgan, Brynamman Road, and mother of Mr. Tom Morgan, builder and under- taker. School Road. The deceased lady, who leaves two sons and two daughters to mourn their loss, was 71 years of age, and was highly esteemed and deeply loved by all her neighbours. The second interment was that of Mrs. Davies, the beloved wife of Mr. Rees Davies, Ty Capel, Cwmgarw-road. This .poor lady, who was about 34 years of age, fell a victim to the dread con- sumption, and had suffered greatly. Sincere sym- pathy is felt for the sorrowing husband and his nine year old daughter. There are still no signs of a resumption of work at the Ynysamman Colliery, and it is said that the colliery is rapidly flooding, as no pumps are being kept going. Happily, however, it appears that the owners do not intend to permanently close down their property. For some time past men have been busily engaged in making a new channel that will divert the river Amman from its present course near the screens. When finished, this undertaking will enable the owners to have a splendid siding- room below the screens, for the old bed of the river can then be tipped over.

DOCTORS SAID HIS ECZEMA WAS PAST CURING. SURPRISING CURE BY ZAM-BUK. Nothing but Zam-Buk's amazing skin-curing power could rid Mr. Thomas Hunt of his terrible eczema and give him a new skin. Mr. Hunt, who has turned 70, lives at Radnage Common, Stokenchurch, Bucks., where he said to a local reporter:— Itchy pimples first .broke out on my hands and body. These pimples burst and turned to running eczema, which spread practically all over me. I was simply a mass of sores. Even my feet were covered with the terrible disease. "For years I couldn't work, and finally I was unable even to walk. I was an in-patient in 8t. John's Hospital, Leicester Square, London, for 27 weeks, and afterwards attended as an out-patient for several years. Still the eczema refused to be cured, and when two private doctors gave me up as hopeless, I felt it was useless trying anything more. One day, however, a friend who knew what a deplorable state I was in with the running sores all over my body and limbs, suggested I should try Zam-Buk. I never for a moment thought that Zam- Buk would do me any good, but after using one or two boxes of the rare balm I saw an improvement in my skin. The irritation was not so bad. either. So I determined to persevere carefully with Zam-Buk. As a result the terrible disease was gradually rooted out of my skin and new healthy tissue took the place of the disfiguring and painful sores. Though I am over 70 years old I can honestly say that Zam-Buk has completely cured me. and has left me with a perfectly healthy skin. As Zam-Buk has cured such a terrible case as mine, no skin sufferer need ever despair." Zam-Buk Balm is never sold from door to door. Beware of worthless imitations.

MYDDFAI NEW VICAR OF TRALLWXG -The living of Trall- wng, Breconshire, which is the gift of the Bishop, has been accepted by the Rev. Herbert Hughes, B.A., Vicar of Myddfai. The new vicar is a gradu- ate of St. David's College, Lampeter, where in 187fc he gained the "Phillips' Scholarship." Mr. Hughes was ordained deacon in 1877, and was suooessively curate of Pontyates, and Rhydybriw with Llywel. In 1885 he was appointed vicar of Llanfihangel Rhosycorn. Here he laboured arduously for 13 years and during his incumbency was instrumental in building a new vicarage and buying seven acres of glebe land. In spite of manifest difficulties, the number of communicants at Rhosycorn was doubled during his ministry, and the Sunday School there established by him is a witness tft, his successful labours with the young. In 1898, Mr. Hughes was promoted by the Bishop to the benefice of Myddfai. Here, between the years 1898 and 1904, he suooeeded in permanently augmenting L34 annually to the value of the living. The keen interest taken by him in the elementary schools of the Parish has borne excellent results. Twelve months ago the reverend gentleman took upon himself the task of raising the necessary means to restore the beautiful church of Myddfai. If we are correctly informed, £ 4.0 has already been collected, and it is expected that the balance will be secured it the near future. During an incumbency of 16 years at Myddfai, Mr. Hughes has been eminently successful as a parish priest. Mr. Hughes is an eloquent preacher in both languages, and his geniality of disposition, tact and resourcefulness gained for him the unstinted esteem of all the parishioners. His popularity with all classes and sects was remarkable: and it was evident on Sunday last that the huge con- gregations present at the morning and evening eer- vioes, keenly regretted his departure from their midst to another sphere of duty. It is the heart- felt wish of the parishioners of Myddfai that Mr. Hughes' labours in the future will be as abundant- ly blessed in his new Parish of Trallwng as they have obviously been in his old Parish of Myddfai in the past.

SEQUEL TO SHOOTING AFFAIR CARMARTHEN OFFICIAL ASSAULTED. SCHOOLMASTER AND HIS FIANCEE. A case in which considerable interest was evinced was heard on Monday last at the Carmarthen Borough Police Court, before Mr. Thos. Thomas (in the chair), Mr. Thos. Davies. Mr. Henry Howell, Mr. Walter Spurrell, Principal W. J. Evans, Mr. J. B. Arthur, and Mr. Daniel Lewis, when Mr. Her- bert Long Price, Abergwili, superintendent of water bailiffs, summoned Archibald Stephens, 226, Port- way, West Ham, an assistant schoolmaster under the London County Council, for assaulting him. Mr. Hubert Morgan Griffiths (of the firm of Messrs. Morgan Griffiths, Son. and Prosser) ap- peared for the prosecution, and Mr. W. D. Wil- liams (of the firm of Messrs. Walters and Williams) for the defence. In opening Mr. Morgan Griffiths paid that Mr. Long Price was grievously assaulted whilst he was walking home from the Carmarthen Races on April 17th. The assault was quite unprovoked and a most cruel one, seeing that it was done on the sly, and it was also most severe and brutal. When Mr. Price reached Priory-street, defendant came towards him from across the road and snirl. Is your name Price? He replied in the affirmative, whereupon the defendant felled Mr. Price to the ground with a I •terrific blow in the mouth. There was no provoca- tion of any kind, and he (Mr. Griffiths) hoped the Bench would protect the citizens of Carmarthen so that they might feel secure when walking along the streets of the town. Mr. Griffiths explained that so far back as January last, Mr. Long Price was unfortunately the cause of a pure accident on Brynmyrddin Hill, by which the fiancee of the defendant lost one eye by a stray shot. It was sufficient punishment for any man to feel that he had been the innocent cause of a young woman, twenty years of age, losing one of her eyes, but three months after the accident Mr. Price was assaulted in this way in the streets of Carmarthen. He (Mr. Griffiths) hoped that the Bench would mark their disgust of the conduct of the defendant, whose duty as a. schoolmaster was to teach people, and who should not be taught. DAZED. Giving evidence, Mr. H. Long Price bore out his advocate's statement and said that when he was struck by the defendant, who was a stranger to him, he fell on his back on the pavement with his head against the wall of a house. He was so dazed that he did not know where he was. He remarked, What is all this for? and defendant replied, You shot Miss Davies." Witness did not then realise what he meant and replied, No, I didn't but on gathering what he was referring to he added that it was a pure accident. Defendant then said, "You are not fit to have a gun, and you were very rude to Miss Davies." He replied that he was not rude, whereupon defendant observed, You never offered to send her home after the accident." Wit- ness replied, I did, and if you ask the girl she will tell you the truth." Cross-examined, witness said ho had not called at Miss Davies' since, the shooting accident because he had private reasons for not doing ro. "I knew an- other gentleman was doing all that was necessary for the poor girl," he added. DEFENDANT'S EVIDENCE. Defendant, giving evidence, said that shortly before the assault occurred he was in the sitting- room of Miss Davies' house, the window of which overlooked the street and Mrs. Davies was attend- ing Miss Davies, who was suffering intensely great pain in her eye. Mrs. Davies suddenly exclaimed, "Oh!" and Became very agitated and on looking towards the window witness saw Mr. Price passing. He ran out and overtook Mr. Price and then the assault took place. Mr. Williams How do you account for acting in the way you did?—I was half upset myself at the time. I was wild seeing Miss Davies suffering as she was and there was consiousness in my mind of the atrocious and callous conduct of tne complainant. Mr. Griffiths, interposing, said if the conduct of the complainant was to be gone into, he would be justified in calling evidence "to show what was done to help the girl. He asked the Bench to eliminate witness's answer from their mind. Cross-examined, defedant said that the assault was ■committed under an irresistible impulse. Addressing the Bench, Mr. Williams said that the assault was quite unpremeditated. The assault had been described as brutal, but there was an aspect of brutality on the other side which hp would describe as "brutality of forgetfulness." When Mr. Price was passing the house the artificial eye of the poor girl was being removed and the defendant was so upset that he rushed out and committed the assault. Under the distressing circumstances the offence was a morally excusable one. The Bench after a short retirement said that in view of the state of minJ of the defendant at the time, they felt that justice would be met by im- posing a fine of Ll and -ost-t, which amounted to JE2 15s. 6d. We understand that Col. Fryer and Mr. E. H. Morris attended the Court purposely in case any insinuations or reflections were cast upon Mr. Price.
