THE EFFECTS OF DRINK. SAD CASE AT BARRY DOCK. At the Penarth police court on Monday-before Mr T Morel-Thomas Callaghan, 45, Lombard- street, Barry Dock, was charged with wounding his wife — Prosecutrix said she lived at 45, Lombard-street. At twenty minutes to ten on Saturday night she was looking for the prisoner (her husband), and at twenty minutes to twelve ahe returned to find him lying on the bea down- stairs in the back of the house. She went into the room and he asked her to get him his supper, which she refused to do, and told him to go Jorit where he had been all night. They were both the worse for drink. She called him a nasty name, and hit him and scratched his face, whilst he was lying on the bed. He got up and pushed her, and she fell on the fender. When she got up she Xre £ a cup and saucer at him, on which he threw her down again. She was bleeding, but did ,_0<. know who sent for the doctor and police- San (Police-constable Davies). She cut her face on the fender her husband did not strike her at ,all although he threatened to do so. The police- man sent for the Doctor (Dr. Livingstone). Dr. Livingstone. Barry Dock, said on Saturday night be was called to 45. Lombard-sweet, between w"e .ndone o'clock. He jaw the last and found two wounds, one in front of the right temple about an inch and a half long, extending down to the bone, and another cut oyer the right eye. three-quarters of an inch long^ aiso exposing the bone, the right eye being also bl»?kened. He put a stitch in each of the wounds, which were not of a dangerous character and might hare 1been -caused by falling on the fenrler.-Ellen Ley, 28, Sydenham-street, wife of W. Ley. said she was at -prosecutrix's house on Saturday evening. Prisoner ,came in about 11.30—long before the "missus in a drunken condition. He went to the room at the back of the house, and threw himself on the foot of the bed. Witness was minding the three children. Prosecutrix, who-was in a still worse condition, came in afterwards, and sat on a little stool. Prisoner asked her to get him supper. She refused, called him names, and hit him twice as he laid upon the bed. She got up, gave him more impudence, andhe pushed her, and she fell on the edge cf the fender. Her head commenced to bleed, and when she saw it she rushed to the table, got a cup and saucer, and threw them at him. She could hardly stand; she was so drunk. Prosecutrix went to hit prisoner, and he pushed her away, and she fell on the fender again. The policeman came in iust after, who was followed by the doctor. She had been neighbours with the prosecutrix for -two years, and prisoner was a most decent fellow, but his wife was a wretch.-The magistrate cau- tioned the prisoner and dismissed the case, telling prisoner he had a very narrow escape, and advising him to give up the drink.-Prisoner said he had been an abstainer, and had been really driven to -drink by his wife's conduct.

THE VICE-CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE SCHOOL BOARD. This -is how the Catholic News of last week comments on the recent difficulty with regard to the vice-chairmanship of the School Board:—" The new and rapidly-developing seaport of Barry, Glamorganshire, is, in all respects save one, a very go-a-head place, and a remarkable illustration of the power of modern civilisation. Unfortunately, it is behind the age in the matter of religious enlightenment. Only a few months ago, when the Ca.tholic school-chapel was opened, the walls of this Welsh Chicago were placarded with a poster, which for virulent bicrotry surpassed any of the sort we have seen. Now the ultra-Puritans of Barry and Cadoxton are up in arms because Dr. O'Donnell. a Catholic, is a candidate for the vacant vice-chairmanship of the School Board, as we learn from the Smith Wales Star, a journal which has always shown itself friendly to the Catholic cause. It matters nothing to these shop-keeping, jerry-building fanatics that a Marquis of Ripon has governed the Indian Empire for the Queen, or chat a Stuart-Knill is chief magistrate of our mighty metropolis nor is it anything to them that Dr. O'Donnell, a gentleman of the highest 9 11 integrity and popularity, has been twice in succession returned at the top of the poll. He is a thorough and consistent Catholic, and must be opposed tooth and nail, say the bigoted political Dissenters of Barry, in favour of a man who will vote for the total prohibition of voluntary schools and Christian education. Every Catholic will hope that Dr. O'Donnell may triumph over this puritanical faction, and duly take his place as vice-chairman of the Barry School Board.

BARRY DISTRICT LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the members of the Liberal Club was held at the English BupUtit Chapel, Ho'ton- road, Mr. Meggitt in the chair. Mr. John Cory, J.P.. Porthkerry Park, was elected president; and Alderman Meggitt, Dr. Lloyd Edwards, Dr. O'Donnell, Mr. J. J. Moon, Mr. B. Lewie, Mr. W. Miller. Mr. 0. MoCann, Mr. W. J. Flowers, and Mr. W. Thomas vice-president; Dr. O'Donnell treasurer Mr. F. W. Taylor secretary and regis- tration agent. For the first time. these two offices were merged into one. on the proposition of Mr. J. A. Hughes, who referred in high terms to the ability of Mr. Taylor in connection with the registration work.—A financial statement was submitted and approved, and several subscriptions handed in.—Arrangements were also made for a Liberal demonstration, which will be held shortly, when addresses may be expected from several lead- ing Liberals.

BARRY RAILWAY COM- PANY. MEETING OF DIRECTORS. The customary monthly meeting of the directo- rate of the Barry Dock and Railways Company was held at the General Offices, Barry Dock, on Friday afternoon, the Right Hon. Lord Windsor (chair- man) presiding. There were also present:—Mr. Archibald Hood (vice-chairman), Edward Davies, J.P. (managing director), John Cory. J.P., Robert Forrest, J.P., T. R. Thompson, J.P., T. Webb, Howard Thomas (Aberdare), and Fred. L. Davies with Mr. G. C. Downing (solicitor), Mr. W. Mein (secietary), and Mr. R. Evans (general manager). The business, as usual, was transacted pri- vately, and our representative was informed on authority that no matters of importance were dis- eussed, simply the ordinary business was gone thrcugh.-The question of Colonel North's intro- duction as member of the directorate, as published in another quarter, was not even spoken of.

COL. NORTH AND BARRY. AN UNFOUNDED TALE. During the past two weeks Col. North's name has been sprung upon the district as a future director of the Barry Company, and as being pre- pared to send a million tons of coal a year to Barry. Our readers will be able to judge the truth of the sta'ements by the following paragraph which we cull from a Cardiff paper :—A report was current on Thursday that Colonel North, who is one of the principal proprietors of North's Navigation Collieries, was about to join the directorate of the Barry Railway Company, in con- nection with the carrying out of the Va'e of Gla- morgan Railway scheme, which would give those collieries direct access to the Docks. We learn upon inquiry, however, that there is no founda- dation for such a report. Colonel North is said to be among the guarantors of traffic for the new line, when constructed.

Lloyd's Tonning agents telegraphs that the steamer reported from -Hamburg, November 30th, as lost at the mouth of the Elbe is undoubtedlv the Greystroke, from Odessa, for Hamburg, which sailed for Portland November 2<)th. The steamer's lifeboat, with three dead bodies in it. including that of chief engineer Evans, has drifted ashore at Tonning. The Greystoke was over 2,000 tons gross, built at West Hartlepool in 1835, and owned by Messrs. R. Ropner and Co., West Hartlepool. The Central News telegraphs :—Information received by Messrs. Ropner and Co., owners of the steamer Greystoke, which has been reported wrecked at the month of the Elbe, leaves little doubt that all hands, numbering- twenty-three, have been drowned. The Greystoke's lifeboat drifted ashore at Tonning with three corpses, and it is believed that these unfortunate men were frozen to death. The crew were shipped at Barry. Their names were as follows :—Master—R. T. Davies, Bank House, Llechryd. South Wales. First mate—A. G. Evans Second mate—J. Adams Steward—William Dunning Cook-A. Mulligan Boatswain—John Williams; A.B.'s—Wm. Con- stant. Enoch Davies, Orto Peterson. David George, G. W. Brooke, and R. McLellan First Engineer— J. Grieve Second Engineer—Thomas Murray Third Engineer—Andrew Keay Donkeyman— Adolph Larson Firemen—John McOallmon. A. Cordosa, J. Rossi. J. Loencz, Peter Allaye, and E. Ramsay: Engineers' steward—Marsh. Hartlepool. One of the crew of the steamer Kaiser, which arrived at West Hartlepool on Friday, stanes that when leaving the Elbe on Tuesday night they saw the wreck of the' Greystoke on the Gronvogal Sands. There was no one on board, and the life- boats had gone. Her deck was covered wi fh water. The weather was very stormy at the mouth of the Elbe. Tivt Greystoke sailed from B3.rry with a cargo of coals for Odessa, and then proceeded to Ham- burg.

CORRESPONDENCE. THE RHOOSE JUBILEE HALL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,—Many thanks for your paragraph in the Star of last week regarding the Jubilee Hall. We all feel very warmly here at Rhoose on the sub- ject. Mr. John Cory-a gentleman whom we are all bound to esteem and respect for his kind- heartedness and philanthropy—is not quite acting in the way that his well-known liberal-minded- ness would have led us to expect. I think he ought to grant the use of the Jubilee-hall for other pur- poses, besides prayer meetings and religious ser- vices. Before the hall was built there was a room on the same site, which was used for the same purpose, and when Mr. Cory proposed building a hall everyone hailed it with delight, thinking that they would be able to .have pops., a reading- room, and various other things connected with most building's of the kind. Under this impression Mr. William Jenkins gave the land which the hall is built on, and the house in which the Colporteur lives, but he was sadly disappointed when his daughters were refused the use of the hall for an entertainment they wished to have the first year it was open. They remonstrated with him, Mr. Jenkins saw him, they petitioned him-in fact iid every thing they could to get the hall, and finally he gave permission on the understanding that the programme was to be submitted to the man in charge before holding the concert, and he actually struck out the song" The Lost Chord," because, quoth he, there is only one mention of Heaven in it" This so upset the originators of the entertainment that the whole thing collapsed, and since then they have not had the courage to start again. Trusting I have not trespassed on your kindness by asking you to insert this in your valued paper.—I am. &c.. A RHOOSITE. RE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR." SIR,—As an assistant who has worked in the Barry District for a considerable time, and who knows what it was to work from 75 to 80 hours per week in the district, which I think all lovers of freedom and humanity will admit was most un- reasonable, I was pleased to see, through the medium of your valuable paper, that the assistants had banded together to agitate for the earlier closing of all places of business in the district. And I was also pleased to notice the humane and generous spirit with which the employers almost unanimously met the assistants in their demands. I was greatly surprised when told the name of one of the tradesmen who refused to close, as I happen to know that when he came to the Barry District as an assistant himself (which is not a great while since) he was one of the chief ones to cry out against the late hours that the shops were kept open. How he can reconcile his conduct at the present time with his conduct when an assistant I am at a less to know, but I hope that the public of the Barry district will show their contempt for such mes6n conduct in a practical way by refusing to trade with all such men, and only support those tradesmen who have shown a more generous feel- ing towards their fellow-men by closing their establishments at the time demanded by their assistants. I would also urge upon the assistants the neces- sity of unity amongst themselves. They must not leave all the work to a few to carry on as they have done in the past. Trflsting that the early closing will prove a. success to both employers and employed,—I am, yours &c.. AN OLD BARRY ASSISTANT. Rmtypridd, Dec. 6th, 1892. THE COTTAGE HOSPITAL AND CHARITY CONCERTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES BTAR. DEAR SiR,—At a. meeting of the above Board held yesterday, the 6th inst., the following resolu- tion was passed "Resolved that the Clerk be instructed to write to the local papers stating that no subscriptions had been solicited for the Cottage Hospital, and also stating that although several concerts and other entertainments have been stated to be held for the benefit of the Cottage Hospital, no money has been received by this Board for that object, and that all such entertainments are held without the consent of the Board." I shall be glad if you will insert this letter in the next issue of your paper.-Yours truly, J. ARTHUR HUGHES. 7th December, 1892.

"Moreover the dividends paid in the last seven months exceed £ 100,000. Mr. Barker's guide is a complete rude mecum in respect of these splendid properties, and intend- ing investors should certainly consult its pages before risk- ing their money in enterprises offering ephemeral benefits, unsupported by any reliable information."
