RIVALRY BETWEEN NEWPORT TUG-OVVNERB. Eugene Curran, a Newport steam-tug owner, appeared at the Newport Borough Police-court yesterday to answer a charge of having assaulted Benjamin James, arent of the steerm-tug Active. MrLleweilyn Phillips, solicitor, told the court that a dispute arose between the parties because James had sucoeeded in getting the orders of two Irish captains to tow their vessels to sea. On Saturday James was in thq Macben Yard talking to the captains, when Ourran came up, and an alteroation ensued. Curran seized him by the collar and shook him, and tore his collar. Mr Lyndon Moore, solicitor for Curran, put the whole of the blame on James, and stated that the latter had made reflections upon him. He suggested that both men should be bound over to keep the peace. The Bench fined Curran 10s 6d, and bound both men over to keep the peace.

A RECKNTLY PUBLISHED RKPORT ot the Histori- cal Manuscripts Commission contains a most interesting digest of the ancient records of the Corporation ot Hereford, and some references to v5 fJif*an^ of beer, are worth notioe. t AUe, Beere, and Metheglen' (a beer made from honey) are frequently mentioned from 1513 to the end of that century. At various times, from 1513 to 1550, persons were indicted for putting hops in ale, there being a law in force against tbe practice. Little dia the magistrates of that time think that in the nineteenth century one of the most paying industries in the county of Hereford would be the growing of this so-called "pernicious drug," and that the city itself should become famed for the brewing of a special beer, the" Golden Sunlight i, Ale, whose excellence and flavour should greatly depend upon the very pick of Herefordshire hops being used in its brew- ing. Brewed only by Charles Watkins and Son the Hereford Brewery, and sold by Agents thrwboat the kinafaft 13401—1M

NEWPORT. ASSAULTING A SIBTKB. —Thomas Sullivan should have appeared at the Newport Police-court yesterday for assaulting Honora Sullivan, but on being called he did not respond, and the police explained that he never appeared when summoned. T.he sister told the court that the brother had used violent threats towards her, and had ateo assaulted her. The Bench upon fined defendant 2ls,or a month's impneoBitient, and a commitment was ordered to be issued. RAIDING GARDENS.—Six boys appeared to answer a charge of stealing the flowers and damaging the garden of Mr W. G. Rollings, one of the school attendance officers. The boys, it appeared, went into the garden and pulled up the flowers by the roots, and threw them over the badge to other children. Baoh Ifcd was now fined Is. In the next oase four boys appeared, who, earlier in the week, scaled the wall of Mr A.J. Order s garden,got into the hot house and plucked the grapes and afterwards proceeded to gather the apjAeS and pears,and in doing so damaged six trees and other things, the amount of the damage being estimated at 50. The Bench fined the lads 2s 6d each.—In the third case it was the garden of Dr. Andrew Davies which was visited by Emily Carter and Mabel Jones, two girls, who were seen by Officer Drewett in the garden, and when oapiured told the officer that their mothers had sent them out to beg. In this case also the magistrates impoeed fines of Is each. A PUBLICAN AND HIS Cuer P--Will;am Puttook, landlord of the Cross Hands Inn, Chepstow-road, told the magistrates that he was ejecting Edward Little from the house on a recent evening when Little turned round and struck him violent blow on the nose. Mrs Little now responded for her husband, and told the court that Mr Pnttock first struck her husbaud, and also pushed her down when she offered to take him away. The magistrates, however, said that they did not attach any importance to the wife's statement, and fined the husband 10s 6d, or 14 lays' imprisonment.

The 111 will probably remain at Devon port for Mother week, and meet the elevens of all the ttahons and of the artiUery now in garrison Abere. d that there is to be an industrial and fine th t ibition in Cardiff next year, the question of 1310 to be provided during its continuance of tk° Piously taken into consideration. One i L- chief attractions of all exhibitions of the if It) 'a to be found in the band or bands that per- iU L rtn during the afternoons and evenings. It has en suggested that the committee could not do lh \j7^lan °bfcain, POS8'ble, the famous band of ..e Welsh Regiment, which is at present sta- |il at Pembroke Dock. This band is no doubt i* te t'le balk of those connected with the U °f the line, and it has the distinction $th A conducted by the oldest bandmaster in #i; j ? Army (Mr Rawlinson). It is, I believe, the i\ ft? y band, too, which boasts the possession #i iv a, arP among its instruments. When, last |j[ a68*' the band performed at the Neath .cultural Show it proved an immense success, siri no d°ubt did muoh to swell the receipts m- I to that affair. At the Cardiff Exhibition j ^Would in all probability be the means of draw- <| 'arge contingents of visitors from the hills, for f u 6 Patriotic spirit of the Cymry would prompt '■ Htf111 to s.b°w w,th becoming enthusiasm their iPPre.ciation for so well known and dis- } iiuf^'bed a band. The men might with >1 difficulty be quartered at the paindee Barracks during their sojourn in the as were tho bandsmen of the 42nd High- i&ders on the occasion of the National Eisteddfod j^'ng held in Cardiff some years ago. The pipers 1 the King's Own Scottish Borderers were pttilarly accommodated on the ocoasion of the ^Dquet to the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny ^erans in September last. rj^# dinner recently given in London to the ^ittiean War veterans of the three ^'Uients of Foot Guards was a great thCCess' an<3 'b on that account all the 2°re gratifying to observe that it is intended to r*ke the gathering of annual occurrence. I have these note?, on more than one occasion, drawn L. ention to the desirability of something of the ,*ftd being done in Cardiff for the veterans m Wales, but there is nothing in the way of j^Ponse from those having the matter in hand. tl Was hoped that the banquet last Septen ber °Uld have been the initiatory stage of a perma- j?nt relief fund, but as far as I can gather that has now fallen through completely, a fact J-hich all sympathisers with the veterans cannot °ut regret. «It is generally supposed that pipers are con- to the Highland and Scottish regiments, TP* i am indebted to Sergeant Foster, late of the Regiment, though himself as sturdy an •shnian as ever took the Queen's shilling, for Panting out that there are pipers attached to the j, 27th Regiment, the far-famed Inniskilling /jsiliers. Ever since the Battle of the Boyne Ois regiment, it appears, has had at its head .'en on the .march or on parade a body of Irish flpers, though in what material respect the tlsh bagpipes differ from those of Scotland I am to determine. The fact, however, of their essentially Hibernian pipes is in itself a Point worthy of mention. »jlt ig much to be regretted th^U; the men of the "ttia battalion of the Welsh Regiment do not Garten themselves up a little more when they about the streets. I seen some of them deplorably dirty uniforms, while their gait and enepal bearing were most unsoldierlike. In the fitter, too, of saluting armed parties of Volun- that they may happen to meet they ar# J^ost remiss. These are points that at once against the Militiaman, and make bim father an object for ridicule and contempt by the Regular soldier and the Volun- teer. The Regular is essentially military klld the Volunteer is essentially a trained oivilian, *hile the poor Mihtiaman is neither one nor the Other. He might, however, do much to increase peot for himself and his arm of the service. It IFA hoped that the battalion will train next year at Plymouth. Cardiff and the county will be represented at he National Artillery Association meeting at ■\hoeburyne-s next week by four officers and a enfc raen fr0I|fi the 2nd Glamorgan Volunteers. They will take part in *«r.il of the larger and more interesting com- ^wtione.

HHONDDA LOCAL BOARD. QUESTION OF HOSPITAL ACCOM- MODATION. k A meeting of the Rhondda Local Board was ve'd yesterday, under the Presidency of Mr W. JiwC'ns' reports of the sanitary in- showed that 10 cases of scarlatina had Spurred at Porth, two cases of typho'd fever at j*ndy, and a few cases of the same epidemic at of kStown* 'etter was read from the owners *he tramway between Porth and Pontypridd, 'ating that they were prepared to pitch the heelway.—Mr Mathias remarked that the state >c lha tramway was very unsatisfactory.—Mr W. th*68 observed that it would take lbO company at lealt three years to jcecute the work.—Mr W. H. Mathias proposed J'at the board should join the Pontypridd Local 5*>ard to issue an injunction against the tramway j*>i«pany. This was agreed to.—Dr. James, ^Jedical officer, and Mr Jones, surveyor, sub- mitted a joint report in referenoe to Dr, Bruce *^°we's visit to fthe vallgrs and the suggestions ^de by him. Dr. Bruoe Lowe recommended the adoption of destructors for the disposal of the ,refuse of the valleys, but the medical officer con- *>dered that th« sanitary a uthority should first Jf'y one apparatus in the most populous centre in '"e valleys, in order to see whether it was suit- able for tho district.—It was also suggested that the board should provide additional accommoda- at the infectious diseases hospital.—Mr ■"lathias suggested that a hospital should be ^cted in the Rhondda Fach Valley, as it was Inconvenient to remove infected persons from one V*1 ley to the other.—It was agreed that the clerk *hould write to the landowner to ascertain the S^ice of about an acre and a half of the land ad- dining the infeotious diseases hospital, and also of about an acre of land situate between enrhys and Tylorstown.

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY Our corpulent readers will be glad to learn how *0 positively lose two stone in about a month, "'th the greatest possible benefit in health, Itrongth, and muscle, by a comparatively new Ostein. It is a singular paradox that the patient, t'eturning quickly to a healthy state, with in- leased activity of brain, digestive and other prgans, naturally requires more food that hitherto, let. notwithstanding this, he absolutely loses in height one or two pounds daily, as the weighing Machine will prove. Thus there is no suggestion Of starvation. It is an undoubted success, and ■hs author, who has devoted years of study to '"0 subject, guarantees a noticeable reduction Within twenty-four hours of commencing the treatment. This is different with other diseases, for the patient, in some oases, may go for weeks Without being able to test whether the physician ba6s rightly treated him, and may have derived real or apparent improvement in health. **«re, we repeat, the author guarantees it in GWenty-four hours, the scale to be the unerring recorder. The treatment aims at the actual root obesity, so that the superfluous fat does not "eturn when discontinuing the treatment. It is Perfectly harmless. We advise our reders to call the attention of stout friends to this, because, lincerely, we think they ought to know. For 'heir information we may say that on sending 0'Jr penny stamps, a book entitled Corpulency the Care (256 pages), containing & reprint 0f Press notices from some hundreds of modioal *j*d other journals—British and foreign—and -■•'her interesting particulars, including the book Containing the recipe," can be had post free rom a Mr F. C. Russell, Woburn House, Sbore. Itreet, Bedford-square, London, W.C.

BOILERMAKERS' DISPUTE AT BARRY. No further action towards the settlement of the *bove dispute has as yet been made known. The ^0rk in connection with the construction of the gates between the dock and the new low: J'ftter entrance is still being proceeded with by* f'rs R. Stevenson and Co.. Limited. There only a few men employed, however, in "Manipulating the steam rivetters, the introduo- Ion of which has caused a lot of manual labonr, be dispensed with. So far a perfectly conciha- attitude has been observed on both sides, it is expeoted that the decision of the ,utive council of th« boilermakers' organ- £ tion will decide the question at issue s<w to the employment of non- ooiety hands to work the new riretting achinee which were so largely in use in oonnec* jjjPP ^'th the construction of the Manchester 'P Oanal.

NEW SEWERAGE WORKS AT BARRY. Yesterday the new sewerage works, which have been in course of construction during the past 12 months, were formally opened in the presence of a few of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board members. The works, which are of a most substantial character throughout, have been constructed by Messrs Butter and Baker, con- tractors. Mr C. R. Walker, M.Insb.C.E., is the engineer, and Mr Rednall clerk of the works. The whole is composed of several junctions of sewers forming an outlet round Ooldknap Point, reaching down to extreme low water. The first junction is from Island-road, extending as far as the Ship Hotel, Barry, a distance of 114 yards. The second is a 5-foot sewer from Ship Hotel, Barry, to the large cliff at Ooldknap, 711jyard.« and from thence by means of iron pipes, 24 inches in diameter to the junction with the Barry Castle outfall. The Parade and boathouse form another junction. The pipe junotions are all fitted with the modern chamber, and the work is altogether of the most complete and substantial character.

BIBLE CHRISTIAN CON- FERENCE AT BRISTOL. MR GLADSTONE AND UNDENOMI- NATIONALISM. The Bible Christian Conference was resnmed at Bristol yesterday morning, the Rev. S. Allin pre- siding. Deputations from the Bristol and Bed. minster Nonconformist Ministers' Fraternal Associations were introduced by the Rev. J. C. Honey and welcomed by the president.—The Rev. V. R. Thomas referred to Mr Gladstone's article in the Nineteenth, Century, the allusion being received with applause. The most illustrious statesman of our time wrote exquisitely about the undenotninationalism of Heaven. He showed that there was a spurious undenominational ism which meant the giving up of care for essential truth. But he also showed that there was another undenoniinationalism whioh, while it cleaved with passionate fidelity to all essential truth, was not simply content, but rejoiced to forget, when possible, the minor differences that separated the communions of the Church. (Ap- ise.)-An address, signed by Mr T. Owen, M.P., was presented to the conference by the Bristol auxiliary of the United Kingdom Allianoe. Replies having been made by the Rev. F. W. Bourne and the Rev. M. Brokenshire, the pro- ceedings closed.—In the afternoon the six young ministers who had passed their four years' proba. tion were ordained, and in the evening they were charged by the Rev. O. Woolcook, ex-president of the conference.

Daniel, Official Receiver, to set aside a bill of sale given by Mr W. Lewis, farmer, Newcastle, who had become bankrupt, to Mr J. Williams, auctioneer, Llandovery.

He granted also to Mr Beddoe, who was for the official receiver, a special fee. AN INSURANCE L;ASID.-Hokiry Evans, tailor, John-street, v. The Royal London Friendly Society.—The claim was for 213 5s for premiums paid upon a void policy. Mr John Plews, bar- rister-at-law (instructed by Mr John Vaughan), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Beddoe was for the defendants. The case involved points of a technioal character-the policy having originally been taken out by another person and in the result His Honour gave judgment for plaintiff with costs. He granted leave to appeal.

PROSECUTION RE A NEW YORK PAPER. ic VULGAR, BUT NOT INDECENT." At Sheffield Police-court on Thursday, a news- agent named Harry Turner was summoned by the National Vigilance Association for selling and exposing the National Police Gazette. The paper is published in New York and sold throughout England. The contention of the prosecution was that the illustrations rendered the paper obscene and indeoent.-The bench thought the publication vulgar, but not such as a jury would conviob, and t dismissed the case.

I A GIFTED WELSHMAN. FALLEN UPON EVIL DAYS. The East-end of London could unfold many a sad tale of undeserved suffering, and among the numberless instances of men who have, through no fault of their own, fallen upon evil days, may be found many Welshmen who have gone down in life's stern and merciless struggle. Sir John Puleston and other Welshmen in London have established a fund which is intended to provide I for the Welsh poor of the Metropolis one bright day to illumine a year's cheerless wretchedness, and to minister to their most urgent and pressing needs. But these efforts, worthy and excellent though they are, can but touoh the fringe of the misery, and it cannot be hoped that such fitful eleemosynary movement can effect any per- manent or lasting improvement. At the present time their I. ell in the East End of London a Welshman of rare and singular gifts, a man of education and refinement, and the possessor of a noble literary faculty, which, in happier circum- stances, would have been a souroe of comfort to himself, and of pride and pleasure to bis nation. English writers are able to earn their living by their pen; Welsh writers, alas too often have to devote only their leisure hours to the work for which they are best suited. Even Ceirlog, whose lyrics instantaneously captured the public, and are increasing daily in popularity, to the end of his days had to submit to the drudgery ot a stationmaster's work. Welsh literature during the last four centuries—ever since, in fact, the Welsh gentry learned to despise it-has been the creation of amateurs. The gifted Welshman, who is now left destitute in the East End, has no means of relieving his position by his pen. Of his talents the following trans- lation of one of the most beautiful of the many beautiful poetio fancies which we owe to the genius of the tender and gentle Le Gallienne, will serve as an illustration. In both original and translation there is the same spiritual grace, the same expressive felioity. We are glad to find that a movement has been sot on foot among London Welshmen to come to the relief of a poet, who through a delicacy of feeling that survives even ill fortune and causes him to shrink from a public's well-ineaning curiosity, is unwilling that his identity should be disoiosed in a public newspaper. All that we are at liberty to mention is that he comes from a fine old Welsh stock, and bears a name that is honoured from one end of Wales to the other. Mr Harry Jones (late of the South Wales Daily News), whose present address is at Balliol House, Toynbee Hill, Wentworth-street, London, E., who has kindly consented to convey to the gifted Welsh- man any contributions that the generous impulses of our readers may prompt them to give, will be glad to supply any further informa- tion that may be required.

A MODEST WELSH TENOR. RE WILLIAM ABVON PARRY.-This debtor, who was described as a journeyman painter and decorator, living at 87, Belmont-drive, came up forpublio examination at the Liverpool Court on Thursday, his statement of affairs showing liabilities JB196 and assets nil. Examined by the official receiver, the debtor stated that he had not been in business on his own aecount since 1882, when his debts, which he was unable to pay, amounted to about £70. The Offioial Receiver You are a professional singer, are you not ? The Debtor No, sir. The Official Receiver: An unprofessional singer then ?—Yes. Where do you sing ?—At St. Mary Magdalene's Church. What is your income from that?— £ 20 a year. Don't you sing at concerts Yes, occasionally, but I don't get much, on an average one guinea a concert. What is your voice ?—Tenor. That is a small price for a tenor, is it not ?—I am not a noted singer. The official receiver then read a hand-bill, which announced Mr Arvon Parry's 7th annual grand concert" on Monday evening, December 11th, 1693, in the Picton Lecture-hall, "under distinguished patronage," when selections from the fifessiuh And miscellaneous selections were given, a chorus of 100 voices and a number of well-known artistes being announced to take part. The debtor stated that the receipts from the concert only amounted to about V,18, and resulted in a loss to him of about £25. The Official Receiver I have here something else about your professional experience. It says, Mr Arvon Parry, late conductor of the Carnar- von Philharmonic Society, is open to engagements for or&torio ballad concerts, banquets and at homes, also to adjudicate and conduct choirs at festivals and eisteddlodau. Terms moderate." Also a testimonial from Sir Julius Benedict—" I am happy that you afford me due opportunity to state that I approve highly of the way in which you sang the tenor airs from my oratorio, St. Peter.' When was that ? The Debtor: I sang some solos in his house in 1880. The Registrar Did you sing O, House of Jacob -Yes, I did in his house in June, 1880. The Registrar I thought you said you were not a noted tenor ?—I don't call myself so, sir. (Laughter.) The examination was ordered to be closed.

GOSSIPING WOMEN GET INTO COURT. Two elderly women stepped into the defen- dants' box at the Second Court at Dale-street, Liverpool, on Thursday. They answered to the names of Mrs Daisy aud Mrs Jones, and were summoned for causing an obstruction in Foley- street by loitering on the footpath. When a constable had briefly stated that tba women, together with others, were constantly standing about gossiping among a number of men who were concerned in betting Mrs Daisy brought her umbrella down on the side of the box with an emphatic thwack, and said to the otboer Oh, indeed What was I doing 1" Loitering about." "Loiçering about I Loitering nb-what dops loitering about mean t" "It means standing about—lazying, gossiping.' That's it, is it ? Well, did I have my basket ?" It No." Ah I there you are I have never been with. out that basket for 24 years, Sharpy I get my living by it." Mrs Jones asked, in a pleading sort of tone, Officer, you didn't speak to me, did you ?" Yes, I did. Then you ran into a public- house." Gentlemen, I never seen him before." I have warned you constantly about gossip- ing about." "Yes" (musingly), I seem to know him." e Then in a high key, Yes, I know. I saw you once go into a ohemist's shop in Foley-street.' And the chemist came out and fetched some beer, and you remained for half an hour. I know you.' A look of intense surprise entered the officer's eyes then it gave way to one which reflected evident pity for the woman. This appeared to irritate Mrs Jones, for she elutohed her umbrella in the centre in a threatening sort of way, and appeared to be anxious to enter another alterca- tion. But the presiding magistrate terminated matters by announcing that a fino of 5a would be indicted on each defendant.

MEETING DEATH HAND-IN-HAND. At an inquest on Thursday afternoon at Black- burn on two brothers (Mylett) who were drowned in the canal on Wednesday night, the boy who witnessed their deaths stated that the lads had bathed and dressed themselves, when the elder, Felix, said, "Let's try our depth." The younger lad agreed, and they stripped again and walked into the water hand-in-hand. James was seen to shp and heard to ory, I'm going," and then both disappeared. A verdict of "Aooidentally drowned was returned.

ANTICIPATIONS. Goodwood was seen under its very best con. ditions to-day, the morning and afternoon being by far the most enjoyable of the week. The attendance was a large one, and the sport was agilin very interesting. The chief event, the Chesterfield Cup, fell to Worcester, whose backers were unlucky in falling across Gangway in the Stewards' Cup on Tuesday, but perhaps the distance (twice that of the event just named) was more to the liking of Mr James Best's repre- sentative. Gangway took part in the Visitors' Handicap, but he found more than his match in Encounter, who secured a doable event at the meeting. The last-named winner was ridden by M. Cannon, who steered Throstle and Kenney to to victory for Lord Alington. The performance of the former in the Nassau Stakes was full of merit, as behind her were the highly-fancied Maundy Money and La Nievre. The two-year- old Kenney secured the Findon Stakes easily by a length. The other events call for no special notics. There is a day's racing to-morrow at Alexandra Park. Provided the weather be fine, the attendance at this favourite week-end fixture is stire to be large, and excellent sport should be witnessed. My selection* are as follows :-— Middlesex Handieap-UNDECIDED. Juvenile Plate-CrrrHROAT or TcrPKNOT. Alexandra Handicap—RANALD McEAQH Or GLSNGAILRY. Harringay Plate—BOOM or NANNA.

Lord ot the Dale is doing a good preparation for the Stockton Handicap. It is oertain now that Watts will ride Matchbox and T. Loates Ladas in the St. Leger.

Sunfish has recently been well tried, and may be expeoted to improve upon her initial effort the next time the appears in public. The Islander, who is moving in his beat form just now, is well adapted to carrying weight, and should be made a note of in welter races over a mile or thereabouts.

Mr Alexander, who owns Son of a Gun, has for some time past been tenant of Sir Walter Sootes place at Abboteford, but he is leaving it on account of the Americans, who resort to it in such large numbers as to become a nuisanoe. Colonel Nrrrth has offered Mr Mackay 500gs. profit on the 4,000gs. which he gave for Goldfinch, but the offer has not been accepted. Mr R. Peck has refused an offer of 1,000gs. on the amount he paid for Janissary. Mr R. C. Blnndell, a Well-known angler, recently oaught a barbel weighing 121b. Ooz. in the Kennett, at Nrwbury.

There was an interesting race at the Oval on Thursday. It was not for the Million," but for the distinction of being the first batsman to score 1,000 runs in first-class cricket this season. Abel and Brookwell, who are playing for the South, were both within measurable distance of the coveted figures, the Surrey midget requiring ♦0 and Brookweli 37. Abel batted first, but just as a good stroke would have placed him in front he was dismissed, his aggregate now being 997. His confrere was more fortunate, as he not only passed the desired stage in safety, but was not out at the close with 115 to his credit.

A RUDE PREACHER. An extraordinary incident is reported to have occurred in a Congregational church at Portland, Or., United States. Mrs James Brown Potter and Mr Kyrle Bellew went together to the service the other Sunday. They probably did not know the character of the minister, who in as producing play* that were "an insult to the American stage." The attack was so direct and sharp that Mrs Potter and Mr Bellew felt it the ooursa of his sermon pointedly alluded to them was intended for them. Both got up from their seata while the minister was still in the pulpit and walked out of the church, As they passed down the aisle the preacher shouted after them, Thoae are the people of whom I have been speaking."

THE STOMACH AND DEBT. III the Manchester County-court—before Judge Parry-thore wero a number of applica- tionii by 6mall debtors under the Bank- ruptcy Act. Amongst these was that of a man named William Lewis, whose application was Opposed by a number of creditors. The debtor alleged that his income was about £ 1 a week, but one of the creditors disputed this calculation, because, said he, the debtor has a fine sweeping connection." (Laughter.) It appeared that the connection wa ■ a chimney-sweeping one. Another witness said "the fimallne-is of his income is due to his stomach." The witness added poetically that a relation of the defendant waa "obssrved on the pavement the other even- ing in an exultant state of mind with a jug in his hand," and the cause of the debts was the frequent visit of this jug to a oertain place across the road. (Laughter.) Eventually the judge made an-order of 153 in the pound, to be paid in instalments of 10.. a month,
