SAD DEATHAT NEATH.
SAD DEATHAT NEATH. BODY FOUND IN THE CANAL. THIS MORNING. Our Neath representative telegraphs that a man named Owen Morgans was this morning walking along tha Cadoxton Canal, near Neath, when he saw a body lying in the water near to the bank. Investigation showed it to be that of Mr. Tom Jones, of Windsor road, Neath. Mr. Jones was a. vendor of pictures, and was constantly travelling about the district. He was about 35 years of age, was married, but had no children. He and his wife lived with aged parents at Windsor-road, to whom the sad news has proved r.lmcst overwhelming. It is stated that the commodities which Jones had carried lay on the bank. This, although the deceased was subject to fits, seems to point to suicide. His body was conveyed to the house on a shutter at 12.30 this afternoon. LATEB. A later report shows that there is no evidence of suicide. Deceased was a temperate man, and the fits to which he was subject were often pre- ceded by weakness. It is suggested that he sat on the bank and placed his bag and stick by his side, and that in the course of the struggles which ensued, he fell over into the water. His body was found at 10.30 a.m. near the Old Harp Bridge, opposite tp the Cadoxton Lodge. It is stated that he had been to Aberdulais upon business, and was returning home when the sad occurrence took place, Mr. Jones was formerly an assistant master in a local elementary schooL msssa INQUEST. .r. Mr. Howel Cuthbertson, coroner, held the inquest at the Windsor Castle. Hotel, Neath, this (Thursday) afternoon. — Evan Jones, father of the deceased, said that the latter was 31 years of age, and was subject to epileptic fits. He had had one two weeks ago.— P.S. Williams deposed to searching the body, a.nd finding certain papers relating to the business of deceased, who was an agent under Messrs. Taylor, photographer, Swansea. A verdict that deceased was asoidsuLiilsy drowned, was returned.
OCEAN RACING. ------.--+---
OCEAN RACING. -+- HOW DISASTERS ARE CAUSED. Ocean racing as practised by the crack Atlantic liners seems to be a highly exciting sport. The White Star liner Majestic and the American liner Paris have just been racing each other from New York. The Majestic evidently won, as it is from her that the account of the race conies this morn- ing, while the Paris has not yet been signalled. They raced side by side for two dave, and the passengers kept on deck watching the contest, betting freely on the result, and cheering loudly whenever one or the other great steamers appeared to be gaining a little. On Saturday, when they parted company, the Paris steamed rigbt across the bows of the Majestic, so close that the latter had to be slowed down to avoid a col- lision. Some day the excitement of rivalry will causa the slowing down to be overlooked, and then excitement will give way to another feeling, STATEMENT BY THE CAPTAIN. The Press Association says that the owners of the White Star steamer Majestic deny that 60 far as that vessel was concerned there was anything in the nature of a race between her and the Ameri- can liner Paris, on the voyage from New y,ek. The White Star Company state that their instruc- tions against racing are most explicit and absolute, and they have entire confidence in the discretion or the captain of the Majestic, who did his best to avoid racing. Questioned regarding the report that the Paris crossed the bows of the Majestic, the owners of the latter stated that it was probably only a case of the Majestic dropping astern. Messrs. Richardson; Spence and Co., managing agents at Liverpool for the American Line. Southampton and New York Service, state that on teading the accounts in the rapers to-day (Thursday), they wired to Captain liandle at Southampton for the actual facts. Captain Handle replied that he never deviated from his Course one degree, but tha.t the Majestic, which was on the north side of him, crossed his bows at 6 a.m. and got on the sooth side of him. Subsequently the Paris overhauled the Majestic and got slightly ahead, and as the Majestic could not overtake and pass ahead of him she had to pass under his stern to get to the northward again and shape her course for quetmstown. Captain Randle is very emphatic in stating that neither vessel altered her course to pass each other.

At the Gwyn Hall, Neath, this (Thursday) morning a committee of tho Glamorgan County Council met, under the presidency of Mr. J. Blandy Jenkins, to hear the rceomniendations of the Neath Guardians of the Poor with respect to the alteration in parish bound jres, in view of tha coming into operation of the Local Governmeut Act of 1894. The recommendations of the Guardians were as follows:—(a) To add a portion of Miehaeistcn Lower, now within the municipal district of the borough of Aberavon, to the borough of Aber- avon; (b) that the boundary of Baglan Lower remain as at present; (c) that a portion of Rinenhondan, now within the municipal borough or Neath, be added to the borough of Neath; (d) that that portion of the parish of Michaelston Higher within the area of tho Glyncorrwg Local Board be annexed to the parish of Glyncorrwg for all purposes (e) that the whole of Ystradfelite be added to the County of Glamorgan (now form- ing part of the County of Brecon), so that the Poor-law Union may be in one county for all purposes, and the parish remain in the same rural district as at present; (/) that the parish of Llanwrt Lower be divided into two wards lor electoral purposes, tho north ward to be called the Tonna Ward and the south the Jlelincrythan Ward (g) that that portion of Rhigos containing the natural water shed, drain- ing into the River Neath, form part of the Neath Union, and be added thereto for all purposes.— Mr. K. Powell stated the case on behalf of the Guardians, and he was supported by Messrs. Iiopkin Jones and A. S. Gardner. Mr. J. Edwardes Vaughan objected to the addition to tho County of Glamorgan of the parish of Ystradfellte, on the grounds that the rates would be increased.—Mr. D. M. Davies, surveyor, who had prepared the plans, attended and explained the nature of the proposed altera- tions.—The Committee then considered the pro- posals, and will report to the County Council in due course. It is expected that the only recom- mendation which will cause serious opposition is that relating to the boundary of Baglan. Jt will be remembered that the Assessment Committee decided in favour of Briton Ferry in the recent dispute,

"THE OLD ORDER CH¿-\N G ETR." OAKUM-PICKIKG DOOMED. Following out their policy of prison reform which the Prison Commissioners have recently resolved upon, they have now decided to make an important change in the matter of prisoners' employment. Oakum-pieking, which is so obnoxious to prisoners, and so unremunerative to tho Commissioners, will by degrees be entirely superseded by the more profitable hearthrug and hassock making, and similar kinds of work. This new arrangement will apply to female as well as male prisoners. It has further beeu decided to make at once in all her Majesty's pribons where necessary such. structural alterations as will allow of men of exceptionally good conduct work- ing in association. Tiut idea is to employ in this way casual prisoners—that is, prisoners who are not of the regular criminal class, and who have no trade at which they can work. Hitherto such pri- soners have been compelled to work in soiitary ccEiiaement at oakum picking.
