While a youth named Lewis, of Lon Fawr, Ruthin, was playing with a dynamite cap he found, it suddenly exploded and shattered both his hands. His sister, who was looking on, was also severely wounded, and a number of articles in the house were smashed. A great battle, which lasted two days, is reported to have taken place between the Chinese and Japanese at Ping Yang, in which the former were defeated with heavy loss, and 20,000 of their troops surrendered. Ping Yang was captured by the Japanese, whose casualties amounted to 300, Mr. W. F. Lowe, the county analyst for Flintshire, in his quarterly report of samples submitted to him, suggests with reference to the adulteration of milk tkat the inspectors be empowered to take a sample for confirma- tion direct from the cows, for it would either clear the milk seller of any intention of fraud, or else enable the inspectors to obtain a conviction. A general order of the Local Government Board, issued on Saturday, directs that the parish meetings for the first election of parish councillors shall be held on Tuesday, December 4, not earlier than six o'clock in the evening. The polling, if any, is fixed to take place on Monday, December 17, or such other day between Saturday, the 15th, and Wednesday, the 19th, as the County Councils may for special purposes decide. The four sons of John Edwards, occupier of the White Hart Inn, Llandilo, have lost their lives in a fire which broke out on the premises, Edwards himself, while endeavour- ing to leave the house, was overpowered by the smoke and fell, and when rescued was found to be in a pitiable condition, part of his flesh falling off. He died shortly after- wards. The remaining members of the family escaped in their nightdresses. On Saturday the Welsh Land Commission brought to a close, at Newtewn, Mont- gomeryshire, their three weeks' series of sittings in Denbigh, Flint, and Montgomery. They were, however, unable to hear all the witnesses who wished to give evidence, and have therefore arranged to again visit New- town about the beginning of November. Lord Carrington availed himself of the oppor- tunity before the close of Saturday's sitting to thank on behalf of the Commission the people of Wale? of all classes and creeds for the invariable courtesy which had been extended to the Commissioners ia the conduct of their important inquiry.

ELEMENTARY TEACHERS AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL. The bi-monthly meeting ot the Rhyl and Holywell School Teaeht-rs Association was held on Saturday in tho Church Hou;e, nhyl, under the presidency of Mr. A. O. Evans. There wai a good attendance. The chairman said that since the last meeting the tleetion of govlrLOr.3 on the various governing holies of the intermediate schools in Flintshire had taken place, and although he had carefully examined the lists, he had failed to fiad the name of one elementary echool teacher. It was a great mistake to ignore their profession (hear, bear). There were, of course, many excellent men appointed, but some of them wore far from being men of light and learning. If the promoters of intermediate education desired t) obtain the sympathy of the teachers, they oU,J;Lt to ask some of them to stand as governors (ile-,r, hear). There were at present eleven cert fic-atod teachers in Rhyl, aad not one of them hid been elected on the lily Ilbt. If the intermediate schools were to be the stepping stones from the elementary schools to the University, he could not see hw it would be possible for that to be j De case unless they enlisted the sympathy of those who came in daily contact with the children of the masses. The Secretary, Mr. T. Jones (Ffyunongroew), stated that at the last meeting the following resolution was passed: That we, the members of the Rhyl and Holywell Association of tho National Union of Teachers, respectfully request the Flintshire County Council to appoint, by co-optation three members nominated by this Association as members of the County Governing Body of the Intermediate School." He sent a copy of the resolution to the Council, but he had not received a reply. Mr. Jones (Whitford) Have they not the courtesy to acknowledge your letter ?—The Secretary No.-The Chairman said a petition had also been forwarded to the Council asking the Council to elect a teacher on tho governing body, but so far nothing had como of it. Mr. Pierce, of Holywell, the secretary, and himself, had taken th petition round to many members of the County Counoil, and they one and all agreed that teachers should be represented on the govern- ing body. He bad been told that the petition was laid before the Couacil and delegated to a sub- committee, with instructions to consider it. He had since seen the minutes of that committee and not a word was said about the petition. He hopod the association would not allow the matter to drop.—Mr. Tilby (Rhyl), said he bad had a conversation on the subject with one of the Rhyl members of the County Council, who advised him to prepare some sort of document setting forth their claims and gend a copy to eaoh member of the Council. He believed that many of the members knew so little about the matter that unless they did this they would be talking to a lot of thick-heads (laughter). He proposed that two or three members of the association be appointed to prepare a report and send a oopy to eaoh member of the Council. The proposal was adopted.—The following were nominated as officers of the North Wales Union Mr. Pierce (Holywell), president Mr. A. O. Evans (St. Asaph), vice- president; Mr. Cadwaladr (Fcstiniog), treasurer; and Mr. Tegerty (Bangor), secretary. The Chair- man proposed as a suggestion to the Union that whoever was appointed seoretary of the Union should not be also secretary of the Association. Mies Gittens (Abergele) seconded the resolution, which was carried. A paper was read by Dr. Ramsey Smith, entitled Education Recent and Less Recent." COUNTY COURT TUEsDA.Y.Before His Honour Sir Huratio Lloyd, Judge. COURT BUSINESS. The undefended cases, of which there were an ex- ceptionally large number owing to there having been no Courts during the month of August, were heard before the Registrar of the Court, Mr. H. A. Cope. FAMILY DISAOEHEMKNT AT BAGILLT. — ETOEY OF A MOONLIGHT FLIGHT. This was an action brought by the Kelst3rton Brewery Company against Isaac Jones Bracegirdle, Railway Tnn, Bagillt, to recover £75 for goods sold and rent. At the last Court judgment was given for plaintiffs for X75 and costs. As to £ 35 5a. 4d. (claimed by the defendant against the third parties, who are his sisters) execution was stayed until Sept. lUth, leave being granted the third parties to plead any matter to raise the question between them and the defendant. Mr. Brassey (Chester) was for plaintiff, Mr. J. P. Cartwright, Chester, for Braoe- girdle, and Mr. T. W. Hughes, Flint, for the third parties. Mr. Cartwright explained that in July, 1892, the Railway Inn, was carried on by the mother of the defendant and the third pardes. She died on July 28th, leaving a will bequeathing her personal estate (there was no realty) to the third parties. At that time there was owing to the plamtiffa on the ale aooouut L16 12s. Od., and on the spirit account £6 17s. Od., so that her assets were chargeable with the sum of L23 Va. Od. to the plaintiffs. On the death of the mother, the Company stepped in, and desired to be dealt with in respect of the future tenancy of the house. As all the third parties were females, one being under age, the Company could not accept thuin as tenants, and it was decided that haac Jones Braoegirdle should be accepted as tenant for the family and the license was granted to him. Bracegirdle came to the house to live and resided there two months, after that he left and tho third parties carried on business for the year. In August 1893, the business camatoa standstill, and the third parties removed all, or nearly all, the furniture and left the house. They did not pay the account they had run during the year they had lived in the house, which was iu the name of the defendant. Defendant was called upon by the Company to account for what had been supplied. In the end the Company sued tho defendant, and recovered judgment against him for £ 7-3. Defendant claimed from the third parties £ 35 as. 4d. He (Mr. Cartwright) was in- formed that when the mother died there was sufficient furniture in the house to pay all their debts. Isaac Jones Braoegirdle, marinrr, Bagillt, said his mother, who was a widow, carried on tho Railway Inu for about seven years. When she died there were three daughters and two eons at home. At I tho time there was money owing by his mother including OJ, to the Brewery Company. lie ) Lij,.d a conversation with the Secretrry of the Com- pany, and eventually witness took the license to keep j the house for the family, and while ho lived there | ho subsisted oa his wages.

He sometimes served the customers, but at times his duties as a mate took him to sea for daya together. When he took any money he put it in the drawer, and one of his sisters (now Mrs. Matthews) took charge of it. Iu August, 1893 his wife wrote to him to Liverpool that the goods had teen removed from the Railway Inn. lie weat there and foan i it locked np, aud could not get in,) the house. lie went to look fnrche key, which he found in the possession of his t-i-iter, Mrs. Matthews, at Chester, fie askedher wLat, she msrno uy taking th(1 things out of the house, and she said she thought sile bad a right to sell them. He told her she ou¿;ht to have had them realised and sold to pay t[ e Brewery Company. Witness then went to Mr. Owen, Secretary of the Company, aud toH him what bad taken piaec. The house was shut up on the Saturday, and be got the key on Monday aad went into the house- All he found there were a few small things. They had cleared ail they could out of the Louse. He had not removed or appropriated any- thing. He had made a list of tho things. He welt to the Kdstorcon Brewory, and arutnged that tie was to go into ¡;be house. tie went in and carried jn the business with the aid of his wile..Froll Aug. 1S93, he was iu the house, except when at sea. He nover ordered anything after he left, and ho received no profit. His youngest sister had the pianoforte which cost £ 18 or £20. By Mr. Hughos He made 110 statement of his mother's acounts at the time of her death. He knew she did owe JE23 to the Kelstei ton Brewery Co. His mother was not insured and he did not get ai y money from a club. His brother George had the sole control of the funeral arrangements and he paid the expenses. He got money from a elab. The third parties paid for the license. Ilis mother had laid by ZLO f,i the license. He took the house to keep a home fc v his sisters. Ho left his wife and children to kt.-p them company. He went back to his own house because of some little disagreement. He did not esquire whether they wore in di.,bt. Defendant was examined as to the furaiiure, and he said his sisters nad bad the first pick at it. He tiied to got the furniture back from Mrs. Matthews aad Mrs. Healey, and had he got it he would have sold it to pay the dobt. He would not havo grumbled had it been returned. He got some money from MIs. Healey. He gave information to the Brewery Oornpauy about the goods. By Me. Cartwright: He could not do anything with his sisters until this action was brought. lie would not say that the furniture iu the house was worth more than £2 or X-3. They were in a ruinous state and were of no value. The will produced had never been proved. The best of the articles had been taken away. Cross-examined by Mr. Hughes: If E4 5,1. 1 od. was put as the value of the things removed by his sister, then the goods remaining in the house were only worth JE1. Sarah Bracegirdle, wife of the last witness, was examined by Mr. Cartwright. She said her husband gave her 30s. a week for housekeeping. She never had any money out of tHe business when she was at the Railway fun. She hoard the third parties removing tne furniture to her brother-in-1ft w' 6 bouse. Tbeynade a moonlight flit" of it. The key was seat to her, and she sent it back, She sent for her hu-sband. The house was closed from the Saturday nighT until the Tuesday, The goods in he house would drop to pieces if thay removed thorn. They would rot bo worth £ 3. She was sure the turoiture removed was worth £ 30 to £.10. Mary Eleanor Matthews, Flint, said she bad nlways lived with her mother. Daring her mother's illness she managed the business; that was after her sister's marriage in August, 1892. Her brother was always present when she did anything with the 13rewery Company. By His Honour: The profits of the houio went to pay the Brewery Company. There were no other profits. By Mr. Hughes They went in debt owing to the sickness in the house—diphtheria and scarlet fever. Mrs. Bracegirdle had the management of the house at tho time, and Mrs. Healey nursed them. His Honour remarked that it was quice clear that the business was carried on for the benefit of all, and he would suggest that the list of goods be valued, and the debt apportioned amongst them, He thougnt that liie brother George aud Mrs. Healey should i.ot baheld responnible.—The suggestion being acquie^oed in, His Honour adjourned the case for the purpose of the valuation being made. Mr. W. Freeman, auctioneer and appraiser, was appointed valuer. A SINGULAB CLAIM. Charles T. Gatward, watoh and clock makrt, of Penybad, was sued by Jas. Ada^ns, Newmarket, for £ 2 10s. value of a dock sent to the defendant to be repaired, and illegally detained by him. Mr. R. Bromloy defended. Plaintiff did not appear. Defendant said the clock had boon returned. He gave it to his brother on the 30th of July to return and he delivered it at Newmarket. The summons was served on the 18th August.—John James Gatward said he delivered the clock at Newmarket, on the 30th of July. He gave it to a little girl who came to the door. He believed it was plaintiff's daughter.—His Honour You will have to convince me that a mau-a police-constable-in the responsible position he holds brings an action like this so many days after the alleged return of the clock. Looking at the plaintiff's advocate's letter to the court, he doubted it very much, he wrote and asked to pay the hearing fee and costs, and the summons to be enforced. He could not adjourn it. He could only strike it out without awarding costs to either side. ALLEGED TRESPASS BY IIAYMAKEES, This was an action brought by R. H. Smedley, ownor of Ashurst Lodge, Holywell, to recover 12 lOa. from David Hughes, Holywell, for damage to gate and trespass. Mr, Brassey, Chester, was for plaintiff, and Mr. H. T. Smith defended.—From the opening statement by Mr. Brassey, it appeared that the claim was for repair of gate and padlock 8a. 3d., and damages for trespass ou Ashurst Lodge premises, £ 2 Is. 9d. In July last the defendant bought the growing hay in the field adjoining Ashurst Lodge and also that on the ground in front of the Lodge. In harvesting the hay defendant re- quested permission from the caretaker, D. Parry, to bring the cart through the gate and to back it against the railings, there being no gateway by which to take the cart into the field. The permis- sion could not be given, and it was alleged de- fendant took upon himself to allow the cart to be taken through the gate and to the railings. The oaretaker, after the first load had been cartel away, placed a padlock on the gate. Afterwards the other men who were engaged in the hay-field by defend- ant, by their unitad efforts forced the lock, aid it is alleged damaged the gate that it would not doso properly. The matter was reported to the plaintiff, who asked for an explanation, but did not receive any reply to his letter.—Evidence was given by the plaintiff as to the report he had re- ceived and the steps he had taken in the matter also by Mrs. Lloyd, of Carmel, who said she was with Mrs, Parry, the caretaker's wife, at the time the affair took place. She saw the men in the field, and afterwards when tho gate was locked she paw the men get over the railings anl force the entrance gate open.-The case was adjourned to the next Court.

VOLUNTARY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 1 ttTr°'~Ve bCen requested to Publiail tbe following Rhyl, G-Lii September, 1894. SiVT¥/ statement in the House of Commons was that the taxpayers indirectly ray the greater pa.tof._K, Of mhtafata, ioLL-v6 IS while they have no direct shara in" the local management of those schools. This statement is absolutely correct, and all your efforis have been unavailing to shako it in the slightest decree \oa rerer to me as having quoted tho case of the S„. Asapo bohool. Let me remind you that it was you who, in opening this correspondence selected tnis particular instance. I spoke of the typical Welsh village Sl^-OOI, and to Disprove my general proposition F,0" TAKO AVAA EF MFLE a particular school where the proportion of voluntary subscriptions to the grant is exceptionally large. Never have I seen suoh a glaring insfiiiicp of arguing from the particular to the general You know perfectly well that the case of the St. Asaph School is an exception to the general rule. I repeat it is a monstrous injustice that in Welsh villages the local management of the only school to which Nonconformists can eend their children whS7 "uTrted 18 °ut °f tbe Publi° P««e to which all denominations contribute, should bo in most cases entirely in the hands of the clergyman and a few Churchmen. Again and again, in the most uiscourteoas maimer, you challenged the correctness of my quotation of the word" tax- Plyers." I quoted tha official « Hansard report, which confirmed my quotation. You uw my it would bo interesting to know whether in he rough proof of "Hansard" I was reported to Lave u*)d the word "ratepayers," and at u- exose of your kttar you use the followiug expression lou may again like to revise you? 4r? » clearly implies that in the I- a„sa..d report I altered the word ratepayers" to taxpayers' to Suit the purposes of this correspondence. This insinuation is absolutely fT" J nl comma^cation whatever, direct r nnri' official reporter, and the proof report contains the word taxpayers," not rato- payers. I have not revised this report in any way, nor have I altered a single word in it. You ought 1 OT°Ug y,a8b?mod of having made this scandalous groundless insinuation I am sending this letter to the prees.-Your obedient servant, J. HEEBEM LEWIS. Colonel Howard. COLONEL HOWARD'S REPLY. Colonel Howard, the conservative candidate for ihntshir?, writing to Mr. J. H. Lewis, M.P., on tbo 14th mst., says Your indignation would be line it it were not so out of place. Hansard' gives your words thus Although the taxpayer paid the larger portion of the expense of maintaining the ochool, tocy have no voice whatever in its manage- ment,' c.T. the other hand tho "Times" report of your v-ords runs thus:On the ratepayers indireùtIy fell nearly the whole cost of maintaining f. l-1'e ,wa3 8P^kiug of the ordinary typical village in Wales, but notwithstanding this they had no voice in the management of the school itself Internal evidence clearly shows which of these two reports is the most accurate: I do not suppose that even you would assert that the local taxpayer pays all the Government grant to his local school. The question is this, who pays the Government grant to the voluntary schools? The taxpayers of England and Wales pay it. Who keeps a direct and absolute coutrol over the instruction in every school for which this grant is paid? The taxpayer, through the Education Department, absolutely and directly keeps the control. You have endeavoured by a shifty and juggling use of the words 'ratepayers,' I taxpayers, I local taxpayers,' and I public purse to mislead the public, and make them believe that those who pay the Government grant to voluntary schools have no share in their management. This is a groundless and scandalous misstatement of which you ought to be thoroughly ashamed. I ooserve tnat the Flint Radicai Association, alarmed .vt the awkward plight in which you have placed yourself, are endeavouring to cover your retreat with a grandmotherly resolution."
