THB HLBOTION OF MAYOR. The retiring Mayor (Alderman S. K. Muspratt), in proposing a successor to himself, begged to submit the name of a gentlerntu respected not only by every member of this Council but by the in- habitantgs enerally. Counoillor Jas. Hall was too well known to require much recommendation from him. He was well worthy of the honour, and to be the successor of himself, not only because he was personally known to the Council for many years. but because of his deep interest in public matters as regards the welfare of this good old borough town, He had been a chosen and acceptable member of the County Council ever since its commenoement; he had taken a deep interest in the fishing industry along the Dee, and also, being a property owner, he had a large stake in the borough. He had also been suooeisful in business. He did not think he could propose a more worthy suouessor (hear, bear). Mr T. Ryan said it afforded him great pleasure to reoond the proposition of the Ex-Mayor, and he endorsed every word he had used. He believed it was a step in the right direction the placing of a gentleman in the oivio ohair qualified by experience in municipal matters. Age was honourable, and if the Council had any honours to bestow, he thought it only right that they should be bestowed upon those who bad grown old in the work of the borough. Young men had other work to do in shaping out the policy of the Council, and he fully approved of the distinction being oonferred on Counoillor Hall (hear, hear). He trusted that the magnificent ex- ample the ex-mayor had set in the fulfilment of the oivio duties, with the utmost impartiality, would be followed by the worthy gentleman Ald. Muspratt had honoured by proposing (hear, hear). Mr R. Harrison said he had pleasure in supporting the eleotion of Counoillor Hall. He bad worked assiduously for the publio good on the Town Council and County Oonnoil, and he conourred most heartily in the conferment upon Mr Hall of such honours as it was within the Council to bestow (hear, hear). In addition, he might add, that Mr Hall was the first Nonoonformist to be appointed to the oivio ohair (hear, hear). The Ex-Mayor: I take it that there is no amend- ment Counoillor Hall is unanimously eleoted (applause). The newly-eleoted Mayor, on taking office, was invested with the ohain of offioe and the robes by his predeoessor (Alderman S. K. Muspratt), and im- mediately the flag was hoisted above the Town Ball and the bells of the Parish Church rang out a merry peal in honour of the event; The Mayor, in taking the ohair, said he sincerely thanked the Council for the honour aooorded him In placing him in the mayoral ohair of this ancient borough. He was not insensible to the honour, and he was deeply sensible ef the responsibility which the duties of the offioe entailed, and from which he should almost shrink were he not assured of the oo-operation and support of the Oounoil. He felt, by the unanimity with whioh they had ohosen him to-day, that they would aocord him the same support that had been aooorded bis predecessor. He should seak to disoharge tho duties impartially and to the best of his abilities. One regrettable feature was the loss of a valuable and energetio member in the death of Alderman Alfred Dyson. Rie large experience in municipal affairs, and his natural abilities were always weloome and helpful. There were many ways in which he could congratu- late the Council. During the past year they had had no epedemio of any kind. A few isolated oasos of an infectious character were all that came under their notioe. They had had an exoellent supply of water during the year, and great crodit was due to the water company for providing such a supply. The oemmercial outlook of Flint seemed to be prospectively encouraging, and in that direotion he hoped that their respGctad Town Clerk woeld, in the next edition of his "Historio Notices," be able to record a revival of the prosperity of Flint, and to speak of a period when tho inhabitants were peaceful, contented and happy (hear, hear). The 11 loviog oup" was then passed round, and each member of the Council expressed some senti- ment congratulatory of the Mayor. COMPLIMBNT TO THB EX-MLTOB. Ald. T. W. Hughes moved that the thanks of the Council be accorded Aid. S. K. Muspratt for the way he had fulfilled the duties of the offioe of Mayor during the year. In this memorable year of Jubilee the dignity of the oivio ohair had been upheld by Ald. Muspratt with credit to the anoient borough, and the borough had been ably represented in all the Jubilee festivities. His hospitality and seal had not been less marked than his oharity, and in that respect he had had a good supporter in the Mayoress (hoar, hear). Mr Hugh Jones, in scoonding the resolution, said Aid, S. K. Muspratt bad fulfilled his arduous duties thoroughly and efficiently, and he was pleased to hear the name of the Mayoress mentioned, for she riohly deserved their thanks for her co-operation with the Mayor during the past memorable year (hoar, hear). The Mayor said he fully endorsed what had been said. The resolution having been passed, Ald. S. K. Muspratt said he was deeply sensible of the kind recognition of his services, and he was pleased to acknowledge the same on behalf of his wife. It was with some regret that he vacated the ohair he had occupied for the past two years, and for the past year it had been particularly pleasant. He and his wife had worked to oelebrate the Queen's Jubilee in ■Flint; but the suocess of the'event in the borough was not due to his action or that of his wife, as it was to the ready response of the inhabitants of the borough. One other satisfactory undertaking of the past year was the assistance the Borough of Flint was enabled to afford the Mansion House Indian Relief Fund. There had been several other charitable objects brought before the Oounoil and borough. He thanked them most heartily for their reception of whatever he brougdt forward. He should not like to sit down without according his thanks to every official of the Council, who with oourtesy, kinduesa, and consideration helped him in the discharge of his duties. If it should be the unanimous wish and request of the Council in some future year to again ask him to fill the office it had been his privilege to oooupy, he should be pleated to acoede. and so maintain the links in the olaims that bound him to the Borough of Flint (hear, hear). THE DEPITY-MAYOB. The Mayor said he bad muoh pleasure in appointing Mr Edward J. Hughes to act as his deputy during the ensuing year.—Mr Hughes, iu accepting the honour, said it was a great surprise to him, but if it was the wish of the Mayor that he should hold the offioe, it would give him muoh pleasare to do so. He had held it during the past year, and to him it had been a memorable one, as it had been his privilege to confer the freedom of the borough upon the first freeman in the person of Ald. S. K. Muspratt. APPOINTMENT OF IIAYOB'S AUDITOB. The Mayor asked that Ald. S. K. Muspratt would accept the duties of auditor on his behalf, which Ald. Muspratt said lie was most pleased to do. 0TH8B APPOIWTMBNTS. The Town Olerk reported the results of the municipal eleotion, and stated that the new Oounoil- lore had made the doolaratio Li. -The Mayor expressed his pleasure at the introduation of Mr Wilki nson to the Council, and felt sure that his services would be of value to the Corporation.-Mr Wilkinson said he was the youngest member of the Council in experienoe, but he trusted he should soon merit their oonfidenoe. Aid, S. K. Muspralt was appointed iho representative of ilia Oounoil on the ifee Conservanoy Board and the Chester Port Sanitiry Authority.—Aid. J. L. Muspratt was appointed the representative of the Council on the Court of Governors of the Bangor University. —Tha committees were re-appointed with slight alterations.—The Council meetings were appointed to be held 011 the first Tuesday in January, March, May, and September, and on the 14th July and the 9th of November.—The Mayor was unanimously eleoted to the aldermanoy vacant by the death of Aid. Alfred Dyson.-The Mayor said he thanked the Council sincerely for the further marks of their favour, which he greatly esteemed almoet more than the honour of being Mayor. ABBITBAIIOX. The Town Clerk intimated that he had received a communication from the Looal Government Board stating that the dispute with the County Council in regard to the main roads' aooounts would be subjeoted to an inquiry for arbitration on the 14th December next, at Flint. TUN OPPOSITION TO THB LANCASHIBH BIU FIBEAMIRB. The Town Clerk reported that he had received a communication from the Board of Trade stating that the application of the Town Council to be heard in opposition to any scheme of the Lancashire Sea Fisheries to take over the River Dee Fishery Distriot, would be granted. The petition of the Oonnah's Quay fisherman was thus dealt with.- The Council expressed its satisfaction with what had been done. THB OROBS ATTI ROAD. A discussion arose as to the condition of the Croei Atti-road, and the claim of the London and North Western Railway Co. for the propottion of the coat of repair due from the Council.—The Town Clerk explained that the Council opposed the L. & N. W. Railway Bill in Parliament, but came to terms, in which the Railway Co., in consideration of the Town Council not opposing the bill, the Company would close a footpath and repair the Croes Atti-road. The publio suffered no incon- venience by the loss of the footpath, but gained an advantage in an improved road.—The formal adoption of the road was referred to the Highway Committee for their report. HIULTB COMHITTBH. The tender of Mr David Erasmus for the renewal and possession of the night soil for E90 was aocepted. KOBB LIGHT IN SUXXHB. Mr Hugh Jones oallei attention to the arrange- ment for the lighting of certain lamps in the town during the summer season, and contended that Church Street should receive oouicI-poa. He at first moved that five lamps be lighted, but after some discussion he adapted teven in order to extend the lighting to the i unotion of the roads.—Alderman S. K. Muapratt seconded the proposition.—A dil. oussion initiated by Mr Robt. Jones, as to the price of gas and the question of memorialising the gas company for a reduction of their terms, was ruled out of order.—Mr Hugh Jones' proposition was carried unanimously. THB ABKOBIAL BBABXHCM OF WAXSI. The Corporation of Cardiff having forwarded 8 letter as to adopting a memorial to Her Majesty the Queen as to the armorial bearings of Walop, Alderman J. L. Muspratt proposed that the common seal of the borough be affixed to the memorial. Mr T. Ryan seconded the proposition, whioh was supported by Mr R. Jones, the Mayor, and the Town Clerk who remarked that the proposal was that the red dragon should be the accepted Welsh quartering. He thought the more ancient quartering of the four lions of Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, Prince of Tegengl, a much more ancient Welsh lineage than Henry Tudor. The lions of Gwyneth would be preferable than tho red dragon of Henry Tudor, for the red dragon aad lion were supporters to the arms. He fully agreed with the spirit of the memorial.—The resolution was passed unanimously. aB ALMSHOUSES. The qutstion of the repair of the almshouses arose in oonsequenoe of the report of the meeting of the Overaceire, who considered that a sum, not exceed- ing ;660, should be spont in the repair of the alms- houses and also a notice of motion by Mr H. Jones that £10 be spent in temporary repairs. It was stated that the houses were in a deplorable condition and unfit for habitation. In faot, Dr Williams said that the houses were much that he should be com- pelled to oondemn them. Mr Harrison deprecated any patohing as money thrown away. Mr Lloyd would tell them that it would eost E120 to patoh the houses into a fair state fit for habitation.—It was ultimately deoided to call upon the Overseers to declare what they intended doing in the matter. GUABANTKH BOXDI FOB OFFICIALS. Mr Ryan gave notioe of motion that the officials of the Oounoil, having the control of money, be required to furnish a guarantee bond. He eon. sidered it, personally, to be quite unnecessary, but they had a duty to the public to perform.—The Town Clerk said, speaking for himself as the senior official, he should be only too pleased, but he thought it would be only fair and right if the officials be oalled upon to give a guarantee, that the Council bhould pay the premium.—Alderman S. K. Muspratt said that was usual. THB BX'XAYOB'a OONBIDHBATION. Ald. S. K. Muspratt said that when he heard of the death of the Duchess of Took he took it upon himself to send on behalf of the Borough of Flint and its inhabitants a message of sympathy, for which be received an acknowledgment from White Lodge on the 87th ult.—The Mayor said the Corporation and the inhabitants of the borough would feel grateful to Ald. Muspratt for the ready way in which he had taken the initiative in forward- ing a sympathetic message. VACANCY. A vaoanoy has been declared in the Town Con noil, and the eleotion of a successor to Aid. Hall as an eleoted Oouneillor will probably take pleoe on the 19th inst.

FATAL RUNNING-OVER CASE. AN INSTANCE OF "MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN." SCATHING CENSURE BY CORONER AND JURY. A sad oase of callousness on the part of some men took place on Friday afternoon last. It appears that a man named Richard Owens, aged 63 years, a sawyer, rending at 38, Duke-street, Flint, was in the neighbourhood of Northop, when several carts proceeding to Celyn Farm passed him. On the last oart passing him he tried to get on the shafts but fell, the wheels of the oart passing over him. He was left on the road and lay unassisted for some time. Ultimately Polioe* oons table Hill, Northop, upon hearing of the matter went to the injured man, but it WAS not until two hour* had elapsed that he obtained a trap from Mr Taylor, Celyn Farm, and he was taken home to Flint. Dr. J, H. Williams attended to the injured man who he found had sustained fraotured ribs which penetrated the lungs. Death took place about eleven o'clook on Saturday morning. An inquest upon the body of the deoeased was held at the Town Hall on Monday evening, before Mr R. Bromley and a jury, of whom Mr Hugh Jones, T.C., was foreman. Harriet Owens, widow of the deoeased, gave evidence of identification, and said that deceased left home at six o'clook in the morning of Friday last. He was brought home in a conveyance about seven o'clook in the evening. Dr. Williams attended to him. Deoeased told her that a oart had gone over him by Nurthop. Edwin Foulkes, oarrier, Northop, said he saw deceased ooming towards Northop on the Little Dublin side. Witness was in a trap. Deceased was sober at the time. Witness gave deceased a ride to Northop village. It was then about three o'clock. They went to the Red Lion and had a glass of beer. They parted there, deoeased going towards Flint, and witness towards his home. Sarah Ann Lewis, Swan Inn, Notthop, said on Friday afternoon she was going out to get fuel for the oven, and when on the highway she saw the deoeased on the road side. He was all right then. About five minutes afterwards, 88 she returned, she saw the same man rising from the ground and going towards the hedge bank against which he fell. He was at about the same plaoe. She told her mistress as she did not know whether he was drunk or hurt. Her mistress sent her little boy for the police. She heard the deceased groan after the boy went for the police. She had seen three oarts going towards the Celyn. Deoeased was on the road on the Holywell side. When the carts were passing she heard some one shouting Whoa but did not see the oarts; that was when she had gone for the fuel. The oarts had gone by the time she returned and saw the man place him- self aginst the hedge. She saw him put his hand to his back. William Morgan, employed at Celyn Farm, Northop, said on Friday afternoon he was returning from the Castle Hill Maltkiln, about a quarter to four o'clock there were two other oarts from the same farm ahead of witness. He was walking along side the horse. When they got on to the Holywell road, he saw a man on the right side of the road standing on the foot- path. He passed on. The other carts were 10 or 15 yards ahead. The mare bolted off, and Edward Hughes, the driver of the seoond oart, stopped her. He did not notice the cart give a jerk when the mare bolted. He could not make out what oaused the mare to bolt. He looked baok after he bad gone some distanoe ahead and saw a man with dust on his clothes. He was standing in the middle of the road and then he picked up his hat and went towards the hedge side. He did not reoolleot that he told Polioe- constable Hill that he saw the oart give a jerk UP P, The Coroner: Why should you tell the Court that you didn't know what oaused the mare to bolt Witness: 1 didn't. The Coroner: Did you tell Polioe-oonstable Hill that you saw the man orawling from the middle to the side of the road? Witness: No, beoause he was standing up. I never saw the man crawling. The Coroner; I will give you another opportunity; did you see the man orawling as you told Polioe-oonstable Hill?—Witness: No, I only saw him standing. I was not sure whether the oart had gone over him or not. I did not hear him cry out. It did not ooour to me to go baok to the man, as the other men had gone on. I did not know what had happened to him; whether it was that the wheel oaught him or the wheel went over him. Mr Taylor told me that the fellow (the deoeaøed) told him that a shandry went over him. I do not suggest that it was not my oart that went over him. I didnot hear anything when the mare bolted. The man in front shouted 11 whoa to the mare. Edward Hughes, employed at Oelyn Farm, Northop, said he was one of the three drivers returning from the maltkiln. He saw a man on the road side. The last witness was 16 yards behind. He notioed the hind horse run away and he stopped it. Directly after he looked back and saw the deoeased on his feet with his hat off. He had not arranged the statement with the last witness. He did not hear the conversation between Morgan and the Police- oonstable. Morgan had not told him anything about the oart giving a jerk. He did not see the deoeased orawling; he saw him on his feet. The deceased was in a stooping position. It did not strike him that the man had been injured. He did not know why the mare bolted. They could not leave the horses they had to take the horses home. He saw Polioe-oonstable Hill on Friday at Oelyn Farm. He refused the loan of the oart fo take the man home, because he had not finished his work. He did not recollect say- ing to the oonstable that it was his own fault." By the Jury: When he saw a horse bolt he thought there was generally some cause. It was a quiet mare, but if anyone went on the wrong side of her, she would bolt. Polioe-oonstable Hill, Northop, said about 4.30 on Friday afternoon, he was oalled to Holywell road, and found the deoeased lying on the road side. He went up to him and examined him, and found that he had sustained fraotured ribs. Deceased in reply to a question as to how he sustained the injuries, said "I was trying to get on the shafts of a oart and fell and the wheel passed over me." He put bandages round him. He afterwards sent a boy up to Mr Taylor to ask him to come to him. Mr Taylor sent word down that if he (witness) wanted to see him, he should come up to him. It was known at Celyn Farm what had happened. Afterwards he went up to Calyn Farm and asked for the loan of a horse and cart to convey the man to Flint, but was refused. Mr Taylor referred witness to Hughes, the last witness, who refused to let him have a oonveyanoe, and said he knew all about it, and that it was the man's own fault, he had no right to get on the oart. Witness told Hughes if he was afraid of not being paid for the oart he would see to that out of his own pocket. He toJd them distinotly of the serious condition of the injured man. Witness returned to the deceased, and directly afterwards Mr Taylor. junior, came and seeing the man's oondition he went back to the farm and obtained a cart and some straw.-By the Coroner: It was a quarter to six before he could get assistanoe to remove the man. It was not until after Mr Taylor, junior, had seen the sufferings of the man as he lay on the hedge bank that he was induced to allow a conveyance. The Coroner: Have you experienced such difficulties before ? Witness: Never. During my ten years experience as a polioe offioer I have always been afforded the readiest and kindest assistance to relieve any injured person. The Coroner: Even in oases where the parties were not in any way responsible ?—Yes. sir. By the Jury: They all wanted to insist that the man was drunk. I told them that the man's ribs were fraotured. I made enquiries afterwards and was given to understand that the deceased was perfectly sober when he passed through the village. The Coroner in his remarks upon the oase, said there was no responsibility upon the part of the two witnesses oiled who were with the carh. The deoeased unfortuuately tried to get oa the oart and slipped. It was not suggested that they knew at the time that deceteed was attempting to get on the cart, but the extraordinary part was the aotion of the men afterwards. He felt strongly upon the matter, and he thought he was justified in saying a word or two in regard to it. They may believe what they liked in regard to the condition of the deoeased, but he had no hesitation in accepting Polioe-eonatable Hill's statement. They must have known the man's condition, yet they never gave any assistanoe to the police offioer. It was very striking that when the man was not dead they told the truth, but when they heard of his death they tried to shield themselves. The way the men treated the injured man was simply disgraoeful. He did not believe but that a dog it injur d would be attended to and at least relieved from its sufferings by a meroiful death but thesi men had not even the humanity that is given to brutes, and they treated the injured man worse than they would treat any animal. They left him on the road In his agony, and suoh agony the jury could imagine would arise from fractured ribs penetrating the lungs. He hoped that it would ever remain on the oonsoienQes of those inhuman men that they treated a suffering fellow-man in a most abominable manner, and that their conduct was execrable. He did not think the Jury would deem his words too etroog under the oiroumstancej (hear, hear). After a brief retirement, the J arr returned an unanimous verdiot of accidental death," and added the rider that the Coroner oensure the people for their most inhuman oonduot to wards the deoeased. The Coroner: Morgan and Hughes, remember this verdict of the Jury, and take the lesson to heart, that the next time you come aoross an accident that has oaused suffering remember that the sufferers are human even as you are human and deserve what assistance you can give. You may go. The Coroner: I wish to record the very kind assistanoe Mrs Jones, of the Swan, gave to Police- oonstable Hill in his attentions to the deoeased. The Ohristian feeling of Mrs Jones in doing what she could for the deceMed" was the one bright spot in the sad affair, and I think Polioe-oonstable Hill is to be complimented for his first aid assistance to the deoeased and for the perseverance with which he fulfilled his duty.—The Foreman The Jury fully concur in the remarks of tbe Coroner, and heartily second bit vote of thanks.

BAGILLT. A RAILWAY JOURNEY AND ITS RESULTS. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A BAGILLT MAN. COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED. At a special sessions held at the Holywell Court House this (Thursday) morning, before Messrs J. Lloyd-Price (in the chair), William Jones and Isaac Hughes, a charge of indecent assault was preierred against a young farmer named Thomas Jones, of Tyn'twll Farm, Bagillt, alleged to have been committed on the night of the 31st of August last, while travelling from Prestatyn to Bagillt. The complainant was a young married woman named Hannah Pritchard, wife of John Pritchard, hay trusser, of Pentre, Flint. The prosecution was undertaken by Mr Fenna, on behalf of the London and North Western Railway Co., while Mr F. Llewellyn Jones (Messrs Bromley and Jones, Holywell) appeared for the defence. From the evidence it appeared, that the complainant was travelling from Rhyl to Flint by the last train. At Prestatyn the other occupants of tfie compartment departed, leaving the com- plainant alone. Defendant got in, and entered into conversation with complainant, and, between Mostyn and Holywell, com- mitted the assault with which he was charged. The prosecution called a number of wit- nesses who gave corroborative evidence of the movements of the defendant, and of the ac- tion of complainant at Holywell, Baglllt, and Flint Stations, where she made complaints. She was pregnant at the time of the assault, and confined of a child two months afterwards. The evidence also included important state- ments made by the defendant to a detective employed by the Railway Company, and to Police-constable George Eley, at Bagillt, also to Mr Taylor, the Flint Stationmaster. The defence set up was to show that the charge brought against the defendant had not been substantiated—that the complainant was excited and hysterical, and in no way was it shown that the complainant was so disarranged in her appearance as to indicate the severity of the struggle, which she alleged took place in the railway carriage, to prevent the defendant effecting the purpose of his assault. It was alleged that the complainant made vulgar imputations against the defendant's father and the defendant, and that losing self control he might have acted in such a manner that could not at the most be converted into the charge brought against him. The Bench retired for a few minutes and decided to commit the defendant for trial to the Quarter Sessions, bail being accepted in defendant's own recognisance of £ 100 and two sureties of ^50 each.

0 LITTLE CHILDREN. What a oommon thing it is to see ohildren, many of them small ohildren, who have blotohes, sores and breakings out of varions kinds. These troubles are oommonly attributed to some disorder or taint of the blood. It is a great miatake to think that the e children's troubles arise from disease! blood. It is not true. Their little bodies are not hardened and strong, their diftstion is not always good, and espeoially, in nearly every case, are their kidneys and urinary organs weak and often iuaotive. Children are usually active and playful, and with a little help, even the slight jst aseistanoe, they can be kept healthy and their blood pure. There is a great preparation, which is the most popular in use to-day. We refer to Warner's Safe Care, which is a purely vegetable preparation; it is so simple, so harmless, that a babe can take it. It aots healthily on the principal organs of the body, but espeoially on the stomach and kid- neys, and its effects can be felt io:a few hours. Read what one mother says: I take pleasure in writing to you to tell you about my baby, who when she was born, was suoh a very poor little thing. Everything she took she ohoked with it, she was not able to tike abovo a tablespoonful at one time, and she could only take that with a teaspoon, and all that passed through her was a8 green as grass. She was wader the doctor from being boru he did his very best for her. Then I took her to the Children's Hospital. When I took her they weighed her, and she was 4 lbs. 0 ozs When she had been in the hospitil a week they Weighed her again; this time she was 4lbs. 3 oz* They told me medicine was no good for her, and that it was not possible for her to Jive, and I brought her home, and sant for a bottle of Warner s Safe Cure. I gave it her in balf-teaspoonful doses, and after she had taken it two days, the choking sensation left her, and she was able to take the feeding bottle. Her food consist d of one tablespoonful of milk and two tablespoonsful of water. Then she begail to take half a teacupful of milk, and very soon after, she began to take a pint in the day and Dight, and now she is a very nioe baby. Shu has just turned one year old. Thanks ever to your Safe Cure mixture, and may it be a blessing to many little children, as it has been to mine."—Mrs W. BKBBBSFOBD, Moor Bridge, Bestwood Colliery, Nottingham. The above shows conclusively the great efficsoy of the remedy for both adults and children. It has no equal.
