During the year a collection had been made for the widow and children of the late H.

Mil i IY AND MUJiJDfciR. ARREST AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS Information has just been received at Liver- pool by the owners of the British sailing ship Leicester Castle of an arrest in America in con- nection with the memorable mutiny on board the vessel in the Pacific Ocean two and a half years ago. The man is in the custody of the sheriff of Graham's County, and he is alleged to be a sea- man named Hobbs, who murdered James Nixon, the second mate of the Leicester Castle, and afterwards disappeared on a raft together two alleged accomplices named Turner and £ !ears. The prisoner protests his innocence, de- claring that at the time of the mutiny he was filling his present position. The story of the revolt, as told by Captain Peattie, master of the Leicester Castle, is a thrilling tale reminiscent of the days of buccan- eering. On the night of September 2, 1902, he states, Sears, an American seaman, called him out of his cabin on the pretext that a man had fallen from the foreyard and broken his leg. As the captain came out Hobbs levelled a re- volver at him, and with the words, Now then, captain," fired, the bullet entering the breast near the heart. The captain closed with his as- sailant and struck him, but Hobbs fired again wounding the captain in the arm. Then he bat- tered him about the head with a heavy club, and despite Captain Peattie's struggles fired two more shots, both of whith took effect. Hearing the noise the mate Nixon came on the scene and was immediately shot. Captain Peat- tie was terribly exhausted, and bleeding from five bullet wounds and a broken head. The first mate took charge and mustered the hands. It was decided to attempt the capture of Hobbs in the morning, but about half an hour aiter midnight a raft containing three men was observed in the dark floating past the starboard side. The men were Hobbs, Sears, and Turner all Americans. The raft was a frail structure, consisting of a few planks and three cork cylin- oers. J At the time of the tragedy the Leicester Castle was 300 miles north of Pitcairn Island. The raft, which carried a week's provisions was never seen again. Captain Peattie recovered from his wounds, thanks to the skill of an Irish seaman named Brennan, who had seen ambu- lance service in South Africa. The captain and two members of the crew are now on their way to America, where they will be confronted with the sheriff of Grahams County.

-+- WELSHPOOL YES TRY MEETING. TirTh,f annual vestry meeting for the parish of Welshpool was held in the vestry at St Mary's Church, on Monday morning, the Vicar (the Rev D. Grimaldi Davis) presided, and there were also present Capt Westby, Messrs C. Pryce Yearsley, E. Wyke, F. Roper, T. F. Hiles, S. Manford, J. H. Anderson, G. Cant, G. E. Barnett, J. Francis, G. Pryce, and G. W. Jones, and the assistant clergy, the Rev J. Jenkins, the Rev Merlin Davies, and the Rev Llewelyn Davies. The Vicar read the notice conveninc the meeting. Captain Westby (vicar's warden) presented the wardens accounts which showed that the year commenced with an overdraft of 95 17s. 9d., which had been wiped out during the year, al- though the expenditure had included payment of a bill of 925 13s. in connection with the repair of the churchyard walls, and there was now a balance in hand of £ 4 10s. 4d. Mr J. H. Anderson moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr G. Barnett, and carried unanimously. The Vicar said he would like to gratitude to the wardens and sides ,af' supeiintendents and teachers of t' Sunday j schools, to the members of the choir: 'he con- ductors, and the organists, and all who had helped the church in any way during the past year. 11 had not been a very eventful year in the history of the church, but good solid work had been done and great improvements had be«nt effected in the churchyard and wails. Ho uIrc thought they would all agree that th work was very badly wanted, and had been verv w^Jl and satisfactorily carried out. It was a great thbe j for the Church and the clergy to liavp friend"; ¡ who took a personal and keen interest in nv Church work, and he might say ii v J,t HI., possible to have better wardens tha k •• ] at the present time. They had all • • work extremely well, and he would «JBO to refer to the services on Easter Sunday. He thought they had had a very satisfactory day, bright services, good congregations, and a very satisfactory number of communicants. The number who attended the communion services was 592. Of course figures were not everything and it had been well said that one could prove ^Hythmg by figures, which was quite true but he believed they actually did show that' the Ohurchpeople were recognising to some extent their Christian responsibilities, and it was also very encouraging to all who had the Church's welfare at heart to find so many people respond- ing to the clergy's appeal and to their spiritual ministrations. He was pleased to be able to express his gratitude for the generous response to the appeals made on behalf of the fund for the assistant clergy. They had collected close upon Y.130, and everybody seemed to contribute ungrudgingly and with a good will. It was also a great consideration to have to deal with clergy whom one could trust; who would work with one faithfully. Ife wished to express his thanks to his brother clergy for their help. Since last Easter they had had a new friend and worker in the Rev L. Davies, who, he hoped, would make himself truly at home and happy in the parish (hear, hear). APPOINTMENT OF WARDENS AND SIDESMEN. The Vicar appointed Captain Westby as Vicar's warden, and thanked him for his ser- vices in past years. The retiring people's wardens were Messrs F. Roper, E. Wyke, and C. Pryce Yearsley, and they were unanimously re-elected. The Vicar announced that Dr Marston did not fsh to be re-elected a sidesman, and Mr J. H. Anderson also signified his wish to retire. The Vicar suggested the addition of Sergt-Maior Hall and Sir William Tbsmas, High street, aid with these additions the old sidesmen were re- elected. CHRIST CHURCH AFFAIRS. Mr Hiles presented the wardens' accounts for Christ Church, which, he said, showed a deficit of 2s. The items were pretty much the same as last year. The greatest expense was the church- yard from which they did not get a pennv, though it cost F,6 or C7 to keep up. Mr Roper: You have a grant, which we have not. Mr Hiles went on to say the collections wero more than the previous year by about a sover- eign though there had only been eleven collec- tions. The Vicar thought the statement very satis- factory, and they would soon wipe out a small deficit like that.—The accounts were accepted. The Vicar appointed Mr Hiles as his warden, and Mr Hiles, having returned thanks, proposed the re-election of Mr Bushell as people's war- den, remarking that he was a more regular at- tendant now that he was in office than before. Mr Wyke seconded, and it was carried. The retiring sidesmen were Messrs G. D Harrison, W. Morris, Payne, Bishop, F. D. Ward, and W. Baker. The additional names of Mr T. Gittins and Mr Bluck were suggested, whereupon Mr Wyke moved that they be re-elec- ted en bloc. Mr Hiles seconded, and it was carried. The Vicar again referred to the work of the choirs referring this time especially to Christ Church and to Mr Manford's services as con- ductor. He congratulated him upon the mark- ed improvement in th,c, choir as regarded disci- plins. Mr Manford returned thanks for the compli- mentary nature of the Vicar's remarks, and ask- ed if it would be possible to have combined ser- vices at the Parish Church for both choirs. There was plenty of material to work upon, and lie was sure the Christ Church members would be pleased to attend. He thought it would be a means of improving tho singing. ingf HileS D° y°U m6an aft«rnoon or even- Mr Manford Evening. He thought it a pity for the men to be willing to be there and have nothing to do on the Sunday evenings Mr Hiles supported the idea. At Christ Church they had 12 or 14 men enthusiastic in the work, but in the afternoons and evenings there was nothing for them at the church. Mr Roper moved, and Mr Wyke seconded, that the matter be left to the Vicar, who said he thought it would be a really good thing if the two c-ioirs could be brought together in that way. It would be a great stimulus. They had a special service the other week which was much appreciated. He would be pleased to confer with Mr Pryce about it. -,r TT. MORE SUGGESTIONS. Mr Hiles suggested that the list of preachers for the day should .be published each week, as was done in other towns (hear, hear). „Jhe J"'ar sai.d difficulties in the ?r £ tice.
