The matter was brought before the iast ir.ei;ung of the Llau- elly Harbonr Conimisakmeis, Mr. Trtibsh.t'v describing the proposal as one which might, have serious consequences on the port of Llanelly, into which the River Loughor flows. He had called tiie attention of tb Coanty Council to the matter, but they re- fused to recognise the right of the harbour commiasttoners to interfere at all.—Mr. Fow- ler, the engineer to the commissiont-rs, sai l that there were tie gravest objections to tipping slags into the river in the manner described.—Ultimately it was deeded that the clerk and the engineer should watch Je- velopments, and, if necessary, apply for ,1-11 j injunction to restrain the county council from continuing the objectionable practice. <

SCHOOL BOARD APPOINT- MENTS AT SWANSEA. HOW I'HE VOTING RAN; J he iong list #f appoir:tmeut,8 made at the apssial meeting oE tilt: Swansea School Board on Tuosdav would,suggest that the members had ovsi bauled the whols staff. in poict of fact thi-i was not done—the task is deferred H; ui after the nvsit jaehool M»oag«nenl Conimittea iweeli.'i^, and a epeciai meeting IS iikeiy te be cailed for the: purpose. Moat of the appeintments made ion 1. iiesda> were really ordinary transfers and promotion*, except these rendered neesssaiy by the stafSog of the new school at Brycmiil. The first work attacked at the meeting was thii selection of a master to re- place Mr John Vt'ii!j»ms at the i; u ,j Sehoe!, There were twa eandid.: ki ,'U' the j position—Mr VVay, et the Cwm School, and Mr Waiter bltephcrd, one of the ehief assistants at the Higher Cirade School. The aetuil vete gave the former i* majority or one—»even to six— but there is reason to believe that a fear lea1 Mr Shepherd i-hcetd be kept out cf a mastership chiefly impelled several of his supporters to vote against the appointment of Mr Way. Wbeii Mr Walter Shepherd tvaa given the Cwm Sciieo! by n vote of nine to four scattered between three other I candidates, these earnest, backers of ius expresses! themselves satisfied with tha promotion of Mr Way to the I Daoy<'r;ii« School, especially as tne latter ia aot a mere remunerative one, ami was bought by him for c-ther than fiiiMieiJ' reasons. We understand that, ia a>il probability, Mr j Colmore, who was awon^ the candidates, wiii be sraE!«d a mastership wh<»oevor the neTt vaeancy o-^curs—a contingency by cs means remote. Mist A!. J. Harris was appointed to the DyLitty Sehooi as a teacher of considerable proaaise and eiaeptional ¡ record. Nine of the fourteen members whe Toted uuppened her, as &gal "It ail other candidates, Mtr only serieua competitor waf! Miss Neal, a cornpa.r:lti..1y new member I of the Swansea teaching staff. Miss Harris, besides being the xext to her in paint of marks aceording to the Board (standard, possessed a quaiiHeatien, net without value, iu a kuowledca of ".Yelsh as a specific snuject. Hiss Jane itees, ef the Tirdennaw Sehooi, was giTen cliarje ef the Danygraij; Infants' bv nine veteg, and one fewer elected Miss May Wiliiaxis to the mistrssship ef the Tirdeunaw Infaiits. Principal Salman ab- stained from the voting on principle, f SWANSEA BREWERY DIVIDEND WILLIAM HANCOCK AND CO. (LIMITED). The report of tne directors f William Har. rock and Co, (Limited) states that thf result I for the year's trading has been favourable, except at Swansea, where the profits have beeai (iisappointitig. The cests in connection with the purchase of the County and Castle Brewe- ries amounted to ±1506 2s. 4d., and it is pro- posed to charge this amount to the reveuut tf the year. The concentration of the company's business, except the maltings, a.t the County Brewery h.as been satisfactorily completed, and the result of the developments has already been beneficially felt by the company. The old four-and-a-half per cent. debenture stock for £40,000 has been extinguished, and a new four per cent. debenture stc k for ±1200,000 has been created at a cost of ,66,780 17s. 7d. It is proposed to deal v'ith this latter sum by writing off j5600 per annum. To provide for the increasing business of the company, it is proposed to raise each class of the shasae capital to £200,000, and the directors have been duly empowered by meetings of the share- holders to promote a Bill in Parliament autho- rising ihe issue of 6 375 £10 preferred ordinary shares and 6,875 J310 deferred ordinary shares. I This Bill has quite recently received the Itoyal Ax-'<*»nt. Should the necessary resolution be passed, it is proposed to allot the new shares forthwith at the respective price of S22 per share for the preferred and 1:14 per share for the deferred shares. The premiums, as well as £2 per shar? upon the former, and £4 per share upon the latter, class would be payable upon allotment. The premiums would amnont to £ 41^50, and under the articles of associa- tion oi the company world be carried to the reserve fuud, whieh would then stand at £100 750.

JUDGtf V. SOLICITOR. STRANGE CONDliCT OF A FORMER LLANELL tITX. TAKEN INTO CUSTODY IN COUKT !vIr. Thomas Phillips, the chief actor in the following strange episode at Pontypridd, on Wednesday, was for sor-o years a resiiflat at Llanelly, acting as managing clerk for one of the leading solicitors in the town. He left Llanelly for Cardiff, where he practised for a couple of years — A series of startling incidents occurred at Pontypridd Coanty-court on Wednesday. His Honour Judge Gwilyrn Williams was occa- pied in hearing a case in which Mr. Arthnr Lewis, barrister, was examining a, witness, when Mr. Thomas Phillips, riolicitor, of Pontypridd (who sat next to Mr. Lewi-sl threw a bundle of legal papers across the table. Mr, Lewis stopped and calicd the attention of the court to Mr. Phillips's conduct.—The Judge (to Mr. Phillips) Please go out of court, and ceine back when you aie in proper con- dition,—Mr. Phillips, who wore his solicitor's gawn, went out, and reti-rnM in a.bout a quarter of an hour, without his gown, and again sat near Mr. Arthur Lewis, ilia con- duct in whispering annoyed Mr. Lewis, who again appealed. — The Judgo. thereupon, again ordered. Air. Phillips to leave, but in- stead cf doing so, Mr. Phillips rose and told the judge that he was in court, to defend llli; case. The Judge now sternly requested him to leave.—Mr. Phillips I have risen to de- fe..d my case, and you look out. — His Honour Your case has not been called on, and if you do not go out at once I shaH be compelled to order you to be put out. I have dealt .but, there you are not in a condition to listen to what I have to say now, but I will speak to you again.—There was considerable excitement in court by this time. Mr. Phillips again went out, but in a few minutes again re- tamed. Before he had proceeded far into the building, however, Puhce-oonstabie Griffiths at a sign from the high bailuf., placed his hajid upon Mr. Phillips's shoulder, and re- quested nim to go out Mr. Phillips objected, iKid a bailiff, who went to the constable's assistance, received, it is said, a slight blow OIl the jaw. Between them, ultimately, Mr. Phillips was taken out. When outside he addressed the crowd, and was taken into ens- tody, it being stated that he would be kept in the police-station for some hours at any rate, Ma—w—a»»

It was owing, he said, to ¡, the shillyshallying of that company that the Whitworth Railway proprietors had come to the proTnotcrs of this Bill, and he asked the 1 Oommittee not to allow t he defunct line of to affect their conclusions.

The statement that there were Llanellv j passengers on board the Drnimnond Castle tures out to T'e incorrect. it was given out. that Mrs Mercer and her four children, returning ta Llanelly, were on boud. The name Mercer appears on the list of passengers, but information has been recoited showing that these wero not the L.hineily family o! that name.

As a matter of faet Mrs Merser could not bo on hoard that steamer, because she would ba cowing from New Ze»i-nd direct, and not from the Cane, which was the starting point of the j Cm tie bner.

SWANSEA'S TRIPLE SCHEME. INTERESTING LETTER FROM CAPT. SINCLAIR. TO THB UXYOK OF TTHC 0; DAILY POST." Sir,— It is very gratifying to note in your issue of to-day the cautious manner in which my statements, made to you, have been treated by Mr. Martin. Had the earlier controversy been carried out OD. similar lines probably a good deal of msunderstandmg would have been avoided. An error, which yon, air, have inadvertently made, might be rectified, viz., in my interview I stated to I you most distinctly that the loss on the ac- cumulators would only take place daring the I period of heavy lighting load, and not daring i the whole day. Mr, Martin, I am pleased to note, makes two distinct admissions, "via. that a loss—whether 40 or 50 per cent, does not here matter—does take place over the transformation of the alternating mto continuous current, but t;»at ba has allew«d for that in his calculations of cost; and that, &e adoption of continuous currents for Swansea is impracticable. On tbe first point it is comforting to be in. agreement, but, sir, I cannot realise the ne- I cessity for throwing away from- 40 to 50 per I cent. of their energy, when by adopting con- tinuous currents this loss could be saved a loss is a loss and someone must pay for tt. I In these days of smart competition it seems rather damaging for any concern to-•admit of such a loss when by injing another system it I would not occur. Even supposing that M-r. Martin's estimates are realised, how much better it would be if the current could be generated at half the cost ? Taking Hamburg as an illustration, where both lighting and tramway propulsion are carried on from the same station, current is supplied to the tramways at something like Id. per unit, but here continuous current is used. New, sir, this being the caae, l can- not conceive why Swansea should emback upon so untried scheme with an acknow- ledged Jkws of something like haH then-powfr. when they have such an example as Ham- burg before them. lJpm the second paint, unfortunately we are not agreed. I cannot see the impracti- bility of using continuous currents for Swan- sea. Such corporations as Manchester,.JBrad- ford, SL Pancras, Hull, Dundee, and others get on very -well with it; surely, what can ha done there can be done here. Agam,upon the. financial results of municipal stations ov-c-; 1895, those stations just enumerated earned in the aggregate—after clearing off all debts in the aggregate—after clearing off all debts including interest, depreciation, and sinking fund—the handsome sum of £17,000, whilvt from the whole of those municipalities umag alternating currents, whose 1895 figures are published, only in one case does the revenue cover total expenditure, viz., Hanky, with. £71 profit, all the others making in the I aggregate a lass of something like £16,000, In conclusion, I must again assert that I I cannot see why Swansea dionld not follow I thoss examples which have proved such lID- qualified successes, and that, in my opinion, no valid reason? exist against the use of cou- tinuous currents—which can be produced economically—in Swansea. am, etc., ALEX.
