ALLEGED SERIOUS STREET AFFRAY AT SWANSEA. AN OLD SOLDIERS RAVINGS. A great deal of excitement was caused in the neighbourhood of Tontine-street, Swan- sea, on Tuesday evening, in connection with a. fcitreet siffray. Two men living in one of the lodging-houses in the street, one an old soldier, and the other a butcher's atisis- tant, had words over some trifling matter, and followed this up by coming to blows. Neither escaped scot Iree, for whilst; the old army man dropped unconscious, his opponent sut.tained a lacerated hand and some bcuisesr about the face. The former appeared to be seriously hurt, and on the artival of the police Dr. Forsyth was sent for. By this time the Dlan had become delirious, and it was with difiti- culty that he was kept from doing injury. Replying to questions he told the doctor that he bad tried to do awav with himself, but his wife said that was net so, but that he was hurt in the quarrel by being struck violently on the head and boäy. Lapsing further into delirium the injured man commenced to 6'iout wildly, those around him gathtrin.; that ho fancied himself on the battlefield with the Soudanase Arabs approaching. He called for his sword to repel their attack, and struggled so fiercely that it was with difficulty ho was held down. In consequence of the violence of his transports Dr. Forsvth declined to order his removal to the hospital. The oKicial report of the police reads to the effect that P.C. Tucker (78) was called to 11, Tontisja-street, where Mr#. Fudge, the bndlady, stated that Frederick Manton and ijecrge Williams, two of her lodgers, had fought, and that Manton had stabbed Williams. The offieer, in company with P.S. Morris 1,2), found Williams in a fit and bleeding from the nose and nio-ith. Dr. Fovsvtb wlio was called to the house, said th.it the'man merely hud a fiL, and would be all ri;-d;t in a few nutujtes.

RE-BUILDING OF ST. MARY S ¡ CHURCH. THE APPEAL TO THE CHAN- J CELLOR. COLONEL MORGAN EXPRESSES SATISFACTION, 1 Now that the Chancellor of tho Dioeese liae given his decision in the little difficult}' which arose 10 connection with the re-building 8( bt. Mary's Church, at Swansea, mucil interest will be felt as to how it is viewed by Colonel Morgan, who was a party to what must be termed the dispute. One of our representatives called upon the gallant co:onel at his residence, and asked if he were satisfied with the Chancellor'? decision. Of course I am," was Colonel Morgan s reply, "I have all that I asked for. In fact, they gave up all their points before geilJg into court. No doubt if we had gone into court to dispute it would have cost a large amount of money, and they probably would have had to pay the costs, 1 made them pay £10 in acknowledgment of their being wrong. I did not go for the whole of the costs because 1 thought the public might put &n uncharitable construction upon it. I should like to say again that I was not opposed to the re-buiiding of the church. In my pfctition for the opposition I expressly mentioned that 1 did not oppose the re-building or the enlargement so long as nay graves were not interfered with. Now they will have to build a crypt around my graves, which will cost about £700. If tho town desires the enlargement of the clmrch or its rebuilding I don't mind it at all* I save had all that I wanted and for my own part I think the whole filing had better b dropped now."

LLANELLY COUNTY COUHT. The question of costs in Mercer v. Parry was brought, before his Honour Judge. Bishop on Tuesday morning. Mr, &. T.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT I BY A CLERK, At the Swansea Police-court to-day (Wed- nesday), D. W. Gardner, a clerk at Loughor. in the employ of Mr. William Jenkins, tea merchant, Pentrepark, Carmarthenshire, was charged with embezzling sums of money amounting to £2 3s. Mr. T. G. Williams, Llandilo, represented the prospcu- tor, while Mr. Tudor Howell defended. The former stated that until January last the defendant had been employed as traveller as well as booh-deeper, but not I having acted in some cases at the eounty-oourc to his employer's satisfaction, his salary was reduced from £ 2 to 35s. per week, and he was then employed solely in the office. Ho had not entered upon the slips of paper supplied to the travellers for the. purpose certain sums of money received, including the sums contained in the charge, and, moreover, he had not entered tho nems in tho day lBook. On Die 2Stii Jura ho left Jenkins's employ, and it was after that date that the alleged fraud had beon discovered. A letter was I read which had been written by the defen- dant stating that, tho 5s, a week reduction in his salary was Ls cover sums which were due -Mr. William Jenkins, the prosecutor, to the facts given in his counsels opening statement, adding that the defendant was paid his S-ilary by cheque every week, On the 23rd of May he asitbd the defendant to up his accounts, and on the 2:!tll he paid him £1 lôö. tor attendances at County Courts in addition to his usual salary. On June 29th the deiendant left his service. Tha amount, tor May 24, but he (the prosecutor) knew it was not entered bstore June 14 last. lie bad not been paid £1 3p. in arv account, and there was no mention of it except in the above entry which he discovered after the defendant left. He had abo not received in any account £1 (made up of sum or 5: and 15s.), found entered in the traveller's ledger after the j defendant had left. The prosecutor was closelv cross-examined by Mr. Howell as to his having made charges of dishonesty against his brother, John Jenkins, who was in his eiup.oy. The prosecutor admitted that 00 have said that his brother W¡¡8 not a person fit to he at large, and might charged him with taking money fraudulent!v. 'jpbo defendant's solicitor proceeded to endeavour to clicit admissions j that he was in the habit of making hasty obarpos. The defendant had attended the county courts in hundreds of eases, but he (the prosecutor) denied having made nioucy out of delcnnant-s court allowances bv simply paying him his tram-fare and salary, and keeping the surplus. He did not ret money from the court, except when on ono instance he got £200.

THE COMING FOOTBALL SEASON. BRIGHT PROSPECTS IN LLANELLY BADGER AND EVAN LLOYD. CHAT WITH MR. GAVIN HENRY. Our Llftnelly representative saw Mr. Ga.vin Henry last evening, and asked him what he thonght. about the rumours regarding Badger and Evan Llovd piaying for Iseath during the coming season. In reply, Mr, Henry said I treat them with the greatest contempt. Personally I think that great credit is due to the boys for their action, it only shows their pluck. Both the boys are possessed of happy homes, and have excellent positions in the Old Castle Wcrks, and there is no doubt that when the present strike at Llanellv is over, we shall find the beys back in their old positions in the Old Castle Works. Any emigration from Llanelly never causes me any anxiety, for 1 hold that snee a Llaneliyito always a Llaneilyite. If the strike should not be settled before the commence- ment of the season, they may very Ii naturally pJay for Neath. During their temporary absence, their pssitions in the team wiil be taken up by 1 dew. Every and Morgan Williams. Personally 1 should be be very much surorisea indeed if cither of the boys played against their own town." What do you think of Llanelly's chances for the coming season ?" "My impression is that our team will do even much better than it did last season, The boys have filled out and look altogether bigger and stronger than last season, besides they have a confidence in what they can do. If you remember that in the early part of last season they made greater exertions than were even required, but as the season got older, they had taken the measure of their opponents, and were able to take things a little cooler. 1 antici- pate this season that they will settle doivn- i ¡ with a confidence that very few teams w ill be able to hold their owu against tllem, and and there will be very tew defeats to chronicle at the end of the season." "What or the dispute with Cardiff?" Well, there is a ctrong feeling in town that Cardiff's aciloll should be bnuhtbefore the Welsh Rugby URian. Personally, I am strongly against that. I should like our com- mittee to tre.it Cardiff with the greatest contempt, Cardiff will hardly be able to claim the championship without meeting our team. There is no doubt that if Llanelly took matters up and brought the dispute before the Welsh Rugby Union that CardiS would be suspended. The Union would be bound to abide by their rules if the matter was brought forward. It is the match played at Llanelly that Cardiff take exception to. The fixtures for the present season were arranged after that match, and, if 1 remember correctly, it was Cardiff who first approached us regarding fixtures for the next season. This being so; Cardiff would have no ground to sisni upon. In any case, nothing will be done by our committee until the fixture (the third on our card) is reached. By the way r. iiat does Llanelly's fixture card look hke ?" I Oh, it is a very good one. We have less English teams and more y elsh teams, We consider in taking this step, we are encouraging Wel.sh football. Last season we had several English teams down, such as Dewsbury, whom we beat by about 5 goals 5 tries, which were only a big item of expenso in bringing down, and who ceuld not give us such a good game as many a Welsh team. We have five fixtures with Swansea, which one would say is too much, but Llanelly always like a game with the neighbouring town. There an also four matches with Ne:tth, and home and hoase with various other Welsh teams. The team 6e8 on a tcur to London, and will play two or three of the strongest combinationsaround the metropolis. C. B. Nichol] is making arrangements to play the two 'Varsities, but whether th»\ will come off is not yet known. We shall plav Bristol on the homeward whether th»\ will come off is not yet known. We shall plav Bristol on the homeward journey. We also have Gloucester down for a home and home. It is a very long timo since we played Gloucester last. Altoge.liur the class ef English teams we play are far superior, tho.igb. the mr.tches are fewer. The differences between Yorkshire fewer. The differences between Yorkshire II I and the English Rugby Union wiil not effect us, as we have no fixtures from Yorkshire." H What of the new captain ? "Oh. yes, Cliff! He is a splendid man. He ¡ received a unanimous vote from the players, and Badger was most anxious that the honour should be conferred on Cliff. it is a certainty that Badger will accept the position of vice- captain, Our Neath correspondent states to-day:— Badger and Evan Lloyd have secured work t Neath, and there is every probability of their remaining tkere for some time. No steps have been taken by the Neath Club to secure theic servicer, as both the secretary (Mr. D. J. Price) and the treasurer (Mr. W. E. Rees) are away on their holidays. NK.VI U FUOTBArJ. CLUB.
