The Chairman (Mr E, Joaes), in his opening address, remarked that: in the past the advances made never reached the point they should, as the percentage was calculated upon the reduced prices, and not upon a given standard, which resulted in theirsovereign being very much reduced. As far as he could understand the new scale, it meant that whether a reduction or an advance be given, it should be all calculated upon a given standard.—Mr Evan Jones, general secretary of the associatio-n, read a draft of the slidiog-^cale, which has appeared in these columns.-Ou the proposition of Mr Joseph Davies, seconded by Mr Evan Evans, and supported by Mr Evau Morgau, it was unanimously rpsolved That, this meeting jpves its hearty support to the new sliding scde, and urges upon every workman to supp rc it in every possible nay for the next twelve- month. Mr R. MORGAN also addressed the meeting, claiming for ttJ" scale the credit of being the best scala of its kind which the iron and steel workers aud meehauics possessed in any part of the king- He was sure no scale in its initiatory stage was so advantageous to the workmen. He paid a high compliment to Mr J. W. Price, Rhymney, raa of the members of the sliding-scale committee, and pointed out the benefits to be derived from unity and )rganisation.-A hearty voto of thanks was passed to the president and general secre- tary for their attendance and ad (i res-ais. -Messrs Fred R j'oerts, J.

I YANKEE YARNS. NOT A "SWEBT" GIRL GRADUATE, Th-I other day I round myself in a railway tram, in front of two students who had just baea gradu- atet4. the day before frem a great school for girln. Such parties are common enough at thisssason of the year, and usually attract attention by their entire obliviousness to the fact that there are people in the wor d who are apathetic, at least to the way in whick things are managed at Q-- Hall but these girls won sny mterest through some sentences of sound common sense, which came over the back xf the seat ia sweet, though rather petulant, feminine tones. Did you have a good time with it all?" aaked one. No. I didn't and all far the simple reason that I leit that I was needlessly ridiculous. There has been so much fun made in tiia newspapers about'sweet girl graduates' and their general Mtilluess and ueeiessness, that I was as much ashamed of my lovaiy white Paris gown as if it had been a fool's cap. You know what Happened about my valedictory? Well, I had read so much about embarking en tbe sea of life,' aud all the rest of the road-coloured twaddleiwnich is vaua.ly put into valedictories,that I made up my mind that I would do something d ffarent. I fixed up what I thought a bright, but slightly cynical view of the situation, and iiaudud it to the president. You should have heard the lecture I got You wouid have supposed I was the most abandoned wretch in the universe. Prex was sorry I had developed such a spirit under the gracious influence of Hall.' Now I protest against giving girls a certain sort of edu- cation and then making fun of them when it is linisbed. In the effort to escape bping namby- pamby I got myself called a young Vottaire,' and was forced to read against my will a lot of pink- and-white stuff about making the world a brighter place.' If I everhavpachancototeachthe world anything, I will teach it not to sneer at its young woman for their lack of a worldly experience which they are promptly punished for showing the slightest scrap of."

"OAST CP." I One morning some of the early risers made a discovery on the beacli. There had been a heavy sea and a strong tide during the night, and on the hard, wet sand lay a corpse. It was that of a man clothed in a aathing sun.. He lay face down- ward, one leg: drawn Up, and his head was covered with seaweed. News of the ghastly dittcovoory spread quickly, and in half an hour there were five hundred »f U* around the body. No one had been drowned off the beach, but he might have come from above or below. After a little time a man was found who was willing todo the bossing," aud he sent, i man after the coroner. He was about to sund another after a doctor when a very practical gentleman from Pittsburg- wanted to know if a man who bad been dead for two or three days could receive any substantial benefits from the visit of a doctor. Then it was concluded not to disturb the doctor, but a very practical woman from Syracuse came forward and demanded to kn«w "Ara you fellsrs u"g to roll him en a bar'l or no ?" Thera was a move made to get a barrel, but again it was concluded that it would only be a waste of time. Why don't somebody rub him?" asked one. Send f,;r a life-guard," added another. "Somebody go for camphor," put in a third. Nobcdy moved, sf course. The only thing to be done was to wait for the coroner, who lived about two miles away. Meanwhile it was ia order to wonder who he was, how it happened, and all that. Many of the women shed team and a man from Canada started to pass round the hat. We had been surrounding the body for three. quarters of an hour and some ene had just remarked that the coroner would soon be there, when the dead man suddenly straightened out his leg and sat up. Then he puiled the sea-weed off his head, threw up his arm, and indulged in a yawn, and started off up the beaclr with the remark: Mighty queer that a fellow can't take a sun- bath without everybody making such a fuss about it.

BURGLARY AT A CARDIFF I PAWNBROKER'S. iE300 Worth of Jewellery Stolen. I Ou Saturday night the pawnbrokme establish- maut beipnfrmg to Air Foilick, at 40, Bridge- street, Cardiff, was broken into by thieves, who safely decamped with jewellery in the shape of goid and silver watches and diamond rings, estinmted by the proprietor to be worth upwards of B300. No one lives on the premises, and the theft was discovered by Mr Follick himself, who shortly attar 10 o'clock on Sunday morning paid his usual visit to thp shop. He was accompanied from his residence, 14, Richmond-terrace, by MrS. Blaiberg, but left that gentleman. who was pro- ceeding r.o his own place of business, in Bridge- street. On entering the shop Mr Foilick states that he at once saw something had happened, for some clothing, which bad been shelved the previous njgh, was on the ground. The stol^a goods were on exhibition in the window, the customary habit of showing all valuables in the safes having been neglected for some months in consequence of the etIsctmg of insur- ance with the Mercantile Accident and Guarantee Insurance Co, Ld.,of Giasgow,against loss through burglarious eutry. Access to the premises was ob- tained from the roof, in which several slates were removed, a manhole being made in the ceiling, which is of wood. Information was at once given to the police, and daring the day the shop was visited by the head constable and several of the detective staff. No clue was left by the thieves which would lead to their discovery, the opinion being expressed that they must have been a gaoe: of clever housebreakers. The two policemen on the beat say that each time they passed the shop there were no indications of the presence of anybody, and the fact that the gas jet which is always kept alight was burning at each of their visits, and again on Mr Foll,ck's arrival, m>kes the robbery appear all the more daring. Several watches were left, and no clothing was stolen. Mr F dlick stated that fortunately the safes, which are of Milner's make, were not tampered with. A full list of the articles, with the private and other marks by which they can ba identified, has been forwarded to the police, and will be printed for circulation throughout: the country. Mr Follick also intends to offer a reward. This is tise fourth occasion upon which this establishment has been broken into, but in no previous cases have the thieves had such a haul.

THE WHITECHAPEL ATROCITIES Mr JB-ckert, secretary to the vigilance com- mittee in the East End, received on Saturday night another caid signed "Jack the Ripper," running thus Dear Boss,—Be prepared for another murder and inutilation-not in Wbitechapel, but in the Hackney district perhaps the Strand way. Never mean to quit my ripping. I love my work tou much for that. Ha ha Ten more murders I intend to do." It is stated that although little importance is attached to this letter, yet special precautions have been taken, and the Home Office will be asked to grant special powers to the vigilance committee. ——————————-————

It is not possible for us to live always in the early morning. Spring blossoms iut" summer and summer flows into autumn, which, in its turn, is lost in th* death of winter, and the gladdest day that ever broke must of necessity end in night. But we can delay somewhat and utilize always. It iests with ourselves how much enjoyment we get out of life and how much work we do between dawn and dark. If we cut ourselves off from all the gladness of the early hours, we curttail our span by just as much. If we take advantage o-f tlse first o-aiuniulza and live with t-fie sun, we ex- pand and garner by just sy much more.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A SEliVANT GI-RL, I The inquest. I Lionel Middleton, 18, farm student, soa of Mr U. M. Middleton, J.P., Ilkley, was charged at Morpetb, on Saturday, with having murdered a servant girl in his master's house at West Chev- ington yesterday. He returned there after three days' absence, and on one of the servants saying that Mary Jane Hughes had been fretting for him; be raised a gun and shot Hughes dead. Deceased was 21 years of age. Accused was remanded. An inquest on the body of Mary Jane Hughes, who was shot on Friday at West Chevington, near Morpetb, by Lionel Middleton, son of Mr Middieton, J.P., of Middleton Lodge, near Ilkley, Yorks, was op&ned on Saturday at the scene of the occurrence, where Middleton was an agricultural student. The police constable who arrested the accused said he found him sittiag with bent bead in the harness room, outside which was a gun, and near it the metal end of a spent cartridge. From the pockets of the pri- soner he took thirteen similar cartridges, which fitted the gun. When be charged Middleton with killing the girl he said, I have caused her death, but not wilfully. It was pftrely acciden- tal." The inquest was adjourned. Middleton, after the remand at the pelice-court, was re- moved to the gaol at Newcastle-on-Tyne.

LOSS OF A BARQUE. j Six Men Drowned.

f FOOTBALL NOTES. I FBY "OLD STA G [tR, "] it any proof were required of the increasing interest taken in the performances ef teams which up to a year ago we were disposed to think very lightly of, it would have been furnished 9Y the capital attendance that hoed the boundary ropes at Penarth on Saturday. One would not have to go very far back to bit upon a period when the mere suggestion of Penarth giving Cardiff a good game would have been laughed to scorn. The wbirhgig of time, however, brings about some startling changes, not the least surprising being the rapid levelling-up process that is daily making itself perceptible with regard to our local football clubs. So far from despising Penarth, and not only Penarth, but two or three other clubs that a little while back were thought very small beer indeed, the quartette of teams hitherto dubbed and accepted as our best now find that in the Sea-siaers," as in the case of the other clubs hinted at, they meet foemen every whit as worthy of their steel as some of the older and better known organisa- tions that occasionally find their way here from Yorkshire. Nevar was this more clearly demonstrated than on Saturday. During a spell of football reporting extending over some 10 or 11 years, it has been my privilege to witness many a tough fight, but I can honestly say I never saw an uphill game mere pluckily fought out than the latter portion of this particular tussle was contested by Penartb. Cardiff are notoriously a good scoring lot, and commanding, as they did, a lead of three tries to nil when ends were changed, their supporters were well warranted in anticipating for them an overwhelming victory. The Penartbians, however, proved themselves rare good plucked 'uns, and when all was over there could be no denying the fact that the Metropolitans were lucky in maintalaing their lead uudimimshed. Three tries to nil is a substantial win, especially when you call to mind the losers' performance against Newport a week earlier. But, come to review the varying fortunes of the game, and the conditions under which the said tries were obtained, and you get something like a true line as to form. Cardiff landed their trio of tries in the final half wben favoured by the wind and what little sun there was. In the second half when tba conditions were reversed, they not only failed to score, but practically they were confined strictly to the de- fensive. Herein lay the difference between the i.eams. Cardiff possess a remaikub y clever set of backs, who rarely miss an opportunity. Give them a ghost of a chance and they are all there, or just about there. We saw that when they played Otley and Swinton, and we saw it again on Saturday. In the Swinton match their for- wards were beaten, and at Penarth, in the second half, at any rate, they were beaten once more. But on both occasions the backs pulled them through. Which brings me to what I want to say. Many friends and supporters of the team, and good judgfjfs of the game, too, are of opinion, or profess to be of opinion, that Cardiff this season have an all-round stronger team than for some years back. With that view not a few others beg to differ. Admitting that the team are stronger—perhaps "tricky would be a better term—behind the scrimmage, there can be no manner of doubt whatever, judging them on their up to date form, that things are not all right in the pack. The men there are big enough, in all conscience but one or two of them are palpable wingers. I don't want to name any names just yet, but if I couldn't place my hand on a couple of the biggest of the lot who doa't push many ounces as they weigh stotiop, then I'm a Dutchman. Not to put too fine a point on it, there must be <\n improvement up in front or the present uo- broken run of successes can never last. Of the Cardiff backs one cannot speak too highly. On Saturday every man jack of them came out well, and it would be uufair to single out any from the bunch for special mention. Among the forwards Nicholls, Mahoney, Taylor, and Cosslett were undoubtedly the most inde- fatigable anything I have said about the backs, as a whole, certainly does uet apply to them. Peaartb had a capital lot of forwards in the field, very prominent being the new ccmer Middlemass. Tha hscks, however, were not the class of the Cardiffiaus. Garrett, who usually shines, got no chances, and the others were any- thing but clever in utilising their chances. A trickier rear contingent would certainly have scored, given the opportunities that repeatedly presented themselves in the second half. After their failure to do more than draw with Penarth, the chances of New- port against Swansea were not thought much of-, and great was the sut prise at the narrowness of the Abertawe lads' win. In the first half Newport, without doubt, showed better all-round form, and looked like a wiuning team, as their three-quarters passed and ran in good style, and quite uut-classed their opponents. In the tight packs Swansea showed superior strength, and forged ahead a few yards, but the opposing forwards used their feet better, and often spoiled the advantage gamed. Up to the interval the ball was for the greater part of the time in or about the Swansea 25, but after changing ends the home forwards took a lead, and for the last ten minutes Newport were principally occupied in defending their line. Bancroft played a splendid game, so did the brothers James at half back, but the home three-quarters were not up to the mark. There was a great lack of combination. Lougdon, who usually plays such a good defensive game, did not da himself justice, although towards the end of the game he pkiyeti much better. England, the Newport full back, was really good, and the Newport three- quarters, especially Gould and C. Thomas, were far and away superior to their opponents,, pass- ing, dribbling, and running better. The New- pIn halves, although good, were uot up to the brothers James. In the first half the Newport forwards dribbled iu rare style, and although beaten in the tight packs by pushing, more than made amends in the open. However, in the second half the home forwards played wonderfully well, and worked together like a machine, aad by their e fforts, aided by Bancroft's kicking, won the match. One of the visitors, it should be stated, was injured during the match, and Newport were for a considerable time a man short. Neath are improving 1" Such was the opinion of the crowd that witnessed the game In Satur- day last between Neath and Llanelly on the Straaey Grounds—a gatne full of exciting inci- dents that aroused at intervals much enthusiasm. The close and stubborn fight which Neath made the previous Saturday against Llanelly's doulzhty- and well-tried rivals—the Swanseaites-had awakened the liveliest interest in Saturday's match, and the anticipations expressed were fully realised. The home team partizans ap- peared to be quite confident of a victeryj but they did not bargain for a win by one paint only. The Llanelly team were indeed put to a severe test, and it redounds infinite credit to Noath that they made such an excellent stand. During the past two seasons the team that was once the pride and joy of Neath bad dwindled to what can with reason be termed a third-rate one, but a new and revived life seems again to have been allotted it, and with the determination, the pluck, and the smartness it has evinced in its two last matches, it promises to become one that bids fair to take an honourable and distinguished position in the foetball annals of the present season. Much of this cbange:must be attributed to the deep interest which its captain, Dr Pegge, has taken in the team. Enough has already been said about the prospects of the Llaneily in this column, so here's to the game. A hearty cheer welcomed both teams upon their appearance in the field. There was not much to choose between them, as both were fairly well represented. Neath, however, bad to do without the services of two good men-Anthony (half-back), and Thomas in the pack, whilst Llanelly were without Conway Rees (three- quarter) and D. J. Daniels (forward). The ground, owing to the recent downfal's of rain, was in a condition that put running and passing at a discount; in fact, the home backs repeatedly missed excellent chances to score owing to its slippery state and the greasiness" ef the ball during the first half, when Neath bad repeatedly a very hard and warm struggle to defend its citadel from danger. The only point sce-red was an excellent try got by A. C. Davits, which „ Morgan converted. In the second half, the Neath men aroused themselves, and for some time before the close Jtbeyinturn became the aggressors, .penning the home team in their 25, and succeeded in getting a goal from a penalty kick and a try. What ap- peared another certain try was lost by one of the forwards, who kicked the ball into touch instead of picking up and running in as he might bavo done. In fairness to the home team, it should be mentioned that Neath secured both points when Llauelly was without the services of A. C. Davies, circumstances having called him from the field, The home pack were certainly, not equal to the form displayed at previous matches, and only just succeeded in holding their Gwn. Th^y must buckle up for next Saturday. The home backs complained they did not heal out the ball as usual. Percy Lloyd and Tom Morgan also were labour- ing under clifficultips-one from a recent sprain of the thigh, and another of the ankle. The try which "Gitto," who played a splendid game at half, got in the second half elicited rounds of applause. The ball was dribble:1 right ?way from the home line, Gitto, Stephen Thomas, and Brazell leading the rush. When in the 25 the former picked up, and planted the ball behiud the line in the left corner, which tbe home team seem to like s-- well. Trick and Cross, for Neath, played an excel- lent game at three-quarters, whilst in the pack Dr Pegge, Bowen, aud Evans evidently did the most valuable work. The try was got by W. John, who also kicked the goal for the "penalty" kick. A word of praise is also due to the half backs for their good play. Bridgend went down before Llandaff on Satur- day in their opening match to the tune of a goal and two tries to nothing. There is little doubt 'that this result waa brought about by want of practice and training on the part of the home team. By half-time a number of the home players were fagged, whilst the city men were in the best fettle. The visitors went away with a rusti at the start, and notched a couple of tries before their opponents woke up. Afterwards matters were more even, but Llandaff had the best of what miga t fairly be termed a talking match. Both teams offended very greatly in this respect. Radley, late of Penarth, found a place in the visiting team, and did good work throughout. He and Evans were the pick of the backs, whilst Cross, Gibbon, and one or two others showed up well in a strong lot of forwards. On the home side H. C. Viviau plnyed a plucky game at back, stopping rushes and saving in good style. Emery was in good form at three-quarter, but F. G. Vivian, who donned the jersey for the first time this season, was "off colour." Jim Richards was the best of the hal ves, but ha was playing behind a beaten pack, aud could not do much passing. Watkins, Hopkin, Harry Thomas, and Luke were most prominent of the forwards, and Verity was of great service when he went from the rear to the front division. The Pontardawe Rovers fared badly at Neath on Saturday, being defeated by the A team to the tune of 3 tries and 5 minors to 1 minor. The captain of the A team (Phillips) played remark- ably well. In the pack Griff. Lewis, Tom Francis, and D. W. Lewis were particularly noticeable. The Rovers lacked combination, and their defence was very bad. The A team want the services of a good place kicker, their efforts in this direction being very indifferent. An exciting game was witnessed at Ponty- mistet on Saturday, when Pontypridd lOst the Monmouthshire Cup-holders. Both teams were well represented, and a fast and open game resulted 111 a draw-one dropped goal each. Morgan, the Pontymister full back, was in fine form and dropped a magnificent goal from nearly half way. For Poutypridd, Alf. and Em. Lewi, at three-quarter, werp conspicuous, the run of the former from his own 25 to within a yard of the Pontymister line being the feature of the game. Alun Morgan, who was tried for the first time at back, made a most creditable display whilst at half Gould and his buy were-in good form. The Pontypridd Maritime easily disposed of Caerphilly, out-playing them at all points. Murray's try was the result of a brilliant run from the centre, and as a wing three-quarter I hear great thiugs of him. Sullivan and Foster were very good at half, and the forwards all gave a good acc ount of themselves. The losers played up pluckily, brahams, Coggins, and Jobn being most noticeable. The counter attraction at Penartb denuded the Harlequins' ground of spectators, and only a mere handful witnessed what proved to be a closely contested tussle between the home team and Penygraig. In the end the visitors won by a try only, but I am told they had all their wrnk cut out. The game was in the main confined to the forwards, and although the finish was so close, was not of the most interesting description. To-day (Monday) D, W. Evans takes from Cardiff to Penygraig a team composed of ex- interuationai piayers and veterans. As to-day happens also to be the monthly holiday of the colliers up that way, the new ground of the home ciub is likely to ioe well patronised.

"THE VILLAGE PRiEST P AT CARDIFF. FATHER BUTLER ON THE PLAY. An Emphatic Protest. During the past week Sidney Grundy's remark- ably powerful drama A Village Priest has been performed to crowded audiences at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff. The play, which is full of living, human interest, turns largely upon the knowledge of a fearful secret acquired by th e Abbe Dubois in the sanctity of the con- fessional. Torn by conflicting emotions, the abbo eventually ipakes known the secret, renouncing for that purpose bis vt-ws. This tearing away of the veil from the confessional, though under the most dire necessity, has dis- tressed some zealous Catholics, and the Rev Father Butler took occasion on Sunday to de- nounce the suggestion with vehement warmth. Preaching at St Paul's, Tyndall-streec, Cardiff, on Sunday evening, before a crowded church, Father Butler said it was not customary fer priests to introduce into the pulpit sensational or ephemeral subjects but during the past week there was acted in one of the theatres of the town a play which required to be cendimned in the strongest terms, inasmuch as it reprinted a priest revealing the secret of confession, which beyonti doubt was tbegrossestlibal ever uttered. He was fully aware of the fact that notiriety was what theatre penpln-wanted but all the same a living lie, like a bad coin, must be nailed to the counter, wueuevar aud wherever found out. Having heard of the plot of the play, and, as a priest, being debarred from attending theatres, he wrote to the mauager for a copy of the words. The manager, with the utmost politeness, .put at his disposal the libretto, and therein ia very truth, in black and white, the Village Priest broke the seal of confaasion, buch a statement could only ba characterised as inonstrom. In the history of the Church it had never been beard of, and he defied histeriaD, dramatist, or actor to produce one single genuine case in which the confessor had made known what he bad haard. For Catholics, of course, there was no difficulty. The children, before making their first. confes- sion, were fui!y instructed, but with these outside the Church, it was very different. Until they reahsed the iact that confession was not a human, but a divine institution, it was impossible to understand the nature of the sigillutn or secret of, confession. Only admit the one, and tbe otber followed of necessity. God could not impose an obligation on men of confess- ing their sins one to another without at the same time securing by an inviolable seal the secrecy thereof. Were it possible for the confessor to reveal even one sin, confession would become odious, and nobody would be bound to approach the sacrameut of penance. Moral theologians were divided on many points, but on this one there was perfect unanimity. All were agreed that for no reason, however great, for no cause, however good, cculd the seal of confession be broken. Snch had ever been the teaching of the Catholic Church. St John Climacus, who lived in the sixth century, says What I know by confession I know less than what I do not know at all." Tbe mighty .Aquinas had pages to the Jeffect that when hearing confessions the confessor is acting for God, and thus the knowledge confided to him belonged to God and to God alose. The sin con- fessed is God's secret, and for Him it must be kept, and that in face of all danger. The con- fessor must be silent as God ia silent, and if evil, wronger snffering ensue he must permit it even as God Himself permits it. The great Suarez's opinion was that without this indispensable secrecy the very precept and obligation cease, and to show how there was no change in the law of the Churcb on this matter the rev father brought forward Lehmkuhl, the greatest living authorityftn cases of conscience. The words of the German professor were It is a most certain doctrine that never in anything or on any occasion whatsoever is it allowable to break, even by the slightest disclosure, the seal of contes. sion, so that not even to save one's self from death or to save the whole commonwealth from ruin or even to save a soul from destruction would such a breach be lawful. Father Butler went on to say that all jther secrets could and sometimes should be revealed. Now and then the good tlf the com- munity at large set aside the rights and privileges 8f a private individual, but the confessional never. To bis mind the fact that priests went regularly to confession to each other was about the simplest, and alfthe same time the strongest proof of ita inviolability. The play of The Tillage Priest, he continued, would go its way, and in its own day disappear, but the seal of confession which it intended to bring into ridicsle would last as long as the God who instituted it. If there were one thing more than another which Englishmen detested it was the spirit of lying, but here, night after night, before young and old, a lie was told which brought discredit on the character of every priest, from St Peter to the newest ordained. The stage might be used as a medium for inculcating the highest forms of virtue and morality, but in the present instance historical truth ana justice were sacrificed for a mere catchpenny. The play had been exposed, not only by the Catholic but also by the non- Catholic press, and if the proprietor bad one spark of honour he would withdraw it from the stage.

THE SUICIDE IN ST PAUL'S. I The Central News says :-00 Saturday after- noon the remains of Edward Easton, of Fulham, who shot himself in St. Paul's Cathedral on Sunday last, were cremated at Woking. A small party of personal friends and representa- tives of the National Secular Society accompanied the body from Waterloo, aDd Mr Robert Forder, secretary of the National Secular Society, read by the way of service a portion of Bryant's Thanatsspisis." The process of cremating the body was much slower in comple- tion than it is generally believed to b". taking 2 hours and 40 minutes, instead of the 90 minutes prescribed.

I MEETING OF TELEGRAPH CLERKS AT CARDIFF. A meeting of the local branch of the Postal. Telegraph Clerks' Association was held at the Grand Hotel, Westgate,street, Cardiff, on Satur- day evenine7, for the purpose of appointing dele- gates to attend the special conference which -is to take place at Liverpool on the 11th instant. There was a large attendance, and the greatest unanimity of opinion prevailed. It was explained that the conference will discuss the recent scheme for the re-adjustment of pay as formulated by Mr Raikss, After a full discus- sion of the resolutions drafted hy the various branches, and which will be submitted to the conference, the meeting appointed two dele- gates to represent Cardiff, and instructed them to support each of the resolutions. It is felt that in view of the recent scheme of the Post maste r-Ge nerat's affecting the position of clerks, what is known as The Belfast platform" should be revised, and a resolution has been drafted to this end. Probably the most important proposal to be submitted is that with reference to the scheme of salaries which shall apply to provincial telegraphists. In this matter it is propound -A.—That all offlcers performing similar duties to those performed by "clerks" appointed under the re- visions recently appded ta the Liverpool, Manchester, and Glasgow offices, shall be paid a minimum salary of 2 160 per antium. rising, by an annual increment of £ £ i per annum, to £190. B.-That the commencing salary of the general body of provincial telegraphists shall be as at present fixed, but that the classification of these officers into two classes be abolished, the entire body to consist of one class and that the annual increment be 2s a week up to 20s, and 2s bd a week thereafter, until the maximum salary be reached, which should ba fixed at E156 per annum, or £3 a week. The purely local grievances were discussed at Saturday's meeting in some detail, and it was decided that a delegation should wait upon Mr Fardo, the Cardiff postmaster, on the subject. It may be mentioned that all the "exiled" telegraphists have ooioi?ny denied ever having made any official communication to the press, and that thay have applied to furnish ;iffidavits to that effect but this offer has been refused by the authorities. Seeing that the Postmaster General in the debate on Earl Compton's motion stated that the suspicion he entertained of the" exiles" being implicated in the publication of certain official information was unsupported, tL ire now remains nothing which would warrant the department in retaining the exiles under punishment by keeping them away from their homes without compensation, and when the Cardiff office is obviously in want of efficient telegraphists. The Postmaster-General has evidently been moved by the recent agitation among the tele- graph employe-s, An official order-has been pro- mulgated raising 43 senior class appointments into second class assistant superintendeutships.

MONMOUTHSHIRE COUNTY CIUNGIL. The Vacant Coronership. At a special meeting of this council, convened for Wednesday next, the question of the appoint- ment of coroner to the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr E. Bath, will be considered on a report of the joint committee. Of the nine applicants, the committee have selected Mr M. R. Jones, barrister, Rhymney, Mr G. H. Daniel, and Mr J. B. Walford, Abergavenny, placing the candidates in the order given. For the Monmouth division the committee select Mr H. Jones solicitor, Blaenavon, and Mr B. H. Deakin, solicitor, Monmouth. Tbere were three applicants. The Charity Commissioners' scheme for the management tu Jones's Charity will be considered on a motion by Mr Thomas Parry, who will raise the question of providing scholar- ships, and also oondemu the scheme because the pensions, amounting to Z750 per annuao, are too high. [TO THE EDITOR.] SlB,—The Monmouthshire County Council will on Wednesday next proceed to the election of a coroner for the Abergavenny district. In con- sidering the claims of the several candidates for the office, due regard should be paid to the claims of those who are willing to devote sufficient time to the duties. This has in the past undoubtedly not been considered. Gentlemen whe held a plurality of offices in this county, however euperior they may be to ordinary mortala in most things, are not superior to the exigencies of time and space. This failing, which they have in com- mon with mankind generally, has often led to things which many think not quite seemly. The Council should certainly see to it that they ap- point a gentleman who could give sufficient of his time to insure a proper discharge ef his duties.— I I M, &a., (IAROLUS.

ANOTHER FALL OVER THE CLIFFS AT LA VEtiNOCK. Oa Sunday evening, about six o'clock, a serious acoident occurred to n lad named Chas. Williams, a son of Mr Williams, of Lavernock Farm. It appears that the boy, who is 12 years old, was sitting on the cliff, with oae of his father's labourers, when he suddenly jumped up, saying he would walk along the cliff. He had [not gone far when he disappeared. The man quickly went to the beach below and found the lad unconscious, having fallen a distance of about 60 feet. He was con* veyed to his home and Dc Aitken, of Ponartb, sent for, who very quickly responded. Dr Aitken found the boy suffering- from concussion of the brain. He is badly bruised about the body, but no bones are broken. It is surprising that the boy was not killed outright, having fallen such a distance on to a bard beach.

THE WELSH BUILDING SOCIETY FRAUDS. A Remarkable Stopy. A special meeting of the Cambria Building Society was held at Cymyglo for the purpose of receiving a report from Mr W. J. WilSiams, the accountant who has been engaged upon an examination of the books. He reported a deficiency of about £1,000, due to advances being made upon inadequate security. After a lively discussion it was agreed to wind up the society, the shareholders consenting to accept 25 per cent, off their claims. The affairs of other societies are being carefully scrutinised. As regards the Nant Padarn Society, the secretary of which died six months ago and was honoured with a public funeral, an extraordinary report has obtained currency in the district—that he did not die, and has absconded. It is said that an application is to be made to the Home Secretary for authority to open the coffin, in order to quiet the public mind. The deficiency in this case approximates 28,000, and the bocks are being examined by Mr R. O. Roberts, solicitor, Carnarvon, the adviser of the directors.
