GLANDERS OUTBREAK t PREVALENT IN OTHER DISTRICTS ? Cost to Monmouthshire. MINING EDUCATION COMPLAINTS. ASSIZE VOTE RESCINDED. At a meeting of the Monmouthshire County Council at Newport on Wednesday, with Mr W. P.Tames (Abersychan) presiding, Mr Thomas Richards, M.P., drew attention to the question of facilities for mining instruction in the County. There was, he understood, a general lack of facilities. Students were complaining about continued circulars and new regulations, and he thought this would militate against the success of the mining classes in the county. There were 50,000 miners in the county. It was unfair to Monmouthshire miners that the facilities were better in Glamorgan and other counties. He suggested that the committee meet the miners' representatives to talk the matter over. Alderman S. N. Jones (chairman of the com- mittee) contended that they were not behind Glamorganshire as far as their mining instruc- tion was concerned. Their desire was to make the mining classes as effective Its possible. They had spent a lot of time on the Subject lately in finding out what was beingtfdone in other districts. ^Jr A. Onions (Tredegar) said that Monr monthahire did not provide similar facilities to'Glamorganshire. Alderman S. N. Jones There's more gas about it there. (Laughter.) Mr Onions Still there remains the fact that In Glamorganshire they are not afraid to spend a bit. It meant sending some students to Germany. Alderman N. Phillips (Powell Duffryn Co.) said he would challenge Glamorganshire to torn out more mining students than they had at New Tredegar. The difficulty was to interest the young men in mining. He held out various encouragements to the young men by way of increased wages if they knew mining, and found it work well. They must not judge the success of mining classes by the number of peregrinations to various parts, ■ nor the progress of the students on the amount of money spent. He found that a large number of the peregrinating students were unable to grasp what they saw and were told. The Chairman said he did not think Mon- mouthshire were doing what they might do. After further discussiop. Alderman S. N. Jones said they would invite the mining members of the Council to discuss the matter with the committee. Assize Venue Vote Reversed. Mr James Winstone (Pontypool) brought forward a motion to rescind a resolution passed in May last supporting the claims of Newport for the removal of the Assize Courts from Monmouth to Newport. As only 34 out 67 members were present at the May meeting he did not think the vote on that date, which WM carried by a majority of one, truly re- flected the feeling of the county. Alderman D. Bowen (Tredegar) seconded. There was no discussion, and on a show of blinds 28 voted for Mr Winstone's motion and 1? against. The Chairman The question now is an open one. We have received resolutions from the Corporation of Monmouth, the Monmouth Rural District Council and the Usk Urban District Council against the proposed removal of the Assizes, and one from the Caerleon Urban District Council in favour of the re- moval to Newport. I move that they be reqejved. This was agreed to. Cost of Glanders Outbreak. With reference to the outbreak of glanders among colliery horses at Ebbw Vale, the Board of Agriculture made certain suggestions, but ■' the Special Purposes Committee thought they were inapplicable at Ebbw Vale. They, how ever, considered that no effort should be spared to stamp out the disease, and in order to attain this end thought an order should be made providing for testing horses with mallein and for the employment of the county veteri- nary inspectors. Mr T. J. Price (Tredegar) said this matter had cost the county over £ 2,000- It was remarkable that if they had swine fever or anthrax the county-was not responsible for the cost; it was defrayed from Imperial taxes. With the horse, however, the county had to pay the cost, He hoped the County Councils' Association would take the matter up. Mr Thomas Richards, M.P., said it had been described as an unusual outbreak." He did not agree with that. It might be an unusual disclosure, and they must see whether glanders ww not prevalent in other districts. They had periodical examinations of pigs and other animals. Why not of these horses ? They must p out the disease. Viscount Tredegar (chajrmacnof the Diseases of Animals Committee) said the iC2,000 was lfebjefly-paid-incozopensaticka for destroying the {horses. The Chief Constable*said they did net know how many pits were affected. Dr. Rpcyn Jones, J.P. (medical officer), gave details of what the Home Office had done in j&he matter, and the examination made by him 3ejf and others at the request of the Home e. They would make recommendations bieh were wide and searching. That was sg he coald say at present. After further discussion-it was decided that Vbmunt Tredegar, Sir H. Mather Jackson, I Bart., Mr Thomas Richards, M.P., and the chairman should wait on the Board of Agricul- ture with a view of the Board paying the cost of compensation. Thousands of Pounds Could be Saved. Mr G. H. Nurse raised the question of the method of raising loans, insurance, etc. He thought that a committee should be appointed to consider it. Alderman S. N. Jones said that thousands of pounds could be saved. Mr Nurse objected to the Finance Committee considering it. They should have new blood. A good deal of discussion followed, but a new committee was formed to consider the matter. A letter was read from the St. Mellon's Council asking the County Council to stay their hand in the matter of the Bedwas Bridge as there was an alternative scheme in hand. The question was referred to the Roads and Bridges Committee. Commons and Waste lands. The Chairman gave a report of the confer- ence at Shrewsbury with reference to commons and waste lands, and moved that a committee be appointed to join in the movement. The following were appointed :—Messrs W. P. James, Abersychan; T. Parry, Caerleon W. S. Nash, Aberbargoed W. B. Harrison, Abertillery W. L. Cook, Blaenavon W. E. Mathews, Llanvair T. J. Price, Ebbw Vale D. Hughes. Tredegar M. Walters, Pontllan- fraith L. Lawrence, Llantarnam, and Ashton- Benchardt, Trelleck.

SALE OF A BUSINESS. Action Against Cardiff Man. On Wadnesday in the King's Bench Division Mr Justice Pickford and a common jury com- menced the hearing of an action by MrThomas William Ross, of Tilbury-road, Leyton, against Mr Frederick Philip Down, of Bute Docks, Cardiff, to recover damages for alleged breach of warranty and for alleged misrepresentation in the sale of a firewood business at Leyton, the cancellation of the agreement, and the return of his purchase price, Z200. Mr J. P. Oliver appeared for the plaintiff (in- structed by Coleman Evans and Co.), and Mr A. McPherson for the defendant (instructed by Canliffe and Blake, agents for Yorath and Jones, Cardiff). Plaintiff's case was that the defendant repre- sented that the business showed a net profit of £ 270. As a result, plaintiff made an offer of E180 for the business. Defendant would not take this, and plaintiff eventually agreed to purchase for X200. Plaintiff now said that there were misrepreseutations and that he had been gradually losing business from the time he went in. Defendant said there was no representation or warranty as alleged. If there was any repre- sentation (which waadcinied)the same was true and correct. Defendant said the plaintiff fully investigated the business before purchase, and that if any representation wis made as to the net profit(which was not admitted) it was with reference to a particular period only. Defen- dant also pleaded that plaintiffbad not suffered any damage. m Evidence was callrd for plaintiff and the hearing was adjourhed. As his Lordship left the bench he suggested that counsel should talk to each ower to see if they; could arrive at a settlement or terms in this case.

MADMAN IN ORCHESTRA. During the third act of the Italian opera The Countess of Amalfi "at the Palermo Opera House an orchestra player named Pro- feta- suddenly dashed his violin to the floor, and whipping out a loaded six-chambered re- volver began to fire madly upon another bands- man named Olivieri, who had slapped his face for an alleged insault at an earlier stage of the performance. An indescribable panic followed. Singers fled screaming from the stage, the members of the orchestra scampered hither and thither to escape the assassin's bullets while in every part of the big opera house ladies were seen collapsing with fainting fits. Prof eta was overpowered only when he had already dangerously wounded a colleague in three places and shot another musician through the leg. It was impossible to resume the per- formance.

PONTYPRIDD TRAMWAYS. At a meeting of the Pontypridd District Council on Tuesday, Mr D. Williams, J.P., pre- siding, the recommendation of the Electricity Committee that the fares payable by workmen on the Council's tramways be revised was considered. It was proposed to increase certain fares, it being contended that the deficit of EI,100 on the previous year's working was in part due to the fact that the workmen's fares were too low to defray the working expenses of such traffic. Councillor Moses Jones moved that the matter be referred back. He declare,4 that there was no loss on the workmen's traffic, but, on the contrary, the returns showed a better average per car-mile than the ordinary morning traffic. He also stated that 2,395 workmen had objected by ballot to the pro- posed increases. Eventually, however, the recommendation was adopted. f

Viscount Tredegar has consented to present his portrait in oils to be hung in the Town Hall, Newport. Councillor Blackburn (mayor) has thanked his Lordship on behalf of the bur- gesses. I

NOVEMBER ELECTION. South Wales Results. THE POSITION OF PARTIES. Ratepayers and the Contests. CARDIFF. The result of the municipal elections at Cardiff on Tuesday resulted in a gain to the Liberals of one seat, Mr Fred Dash (Liberal), who defeated Mr G. F. Willett (Conservative), succeeding a Conservative (Mr Walter Thomas) in the representation of Splott. The elections were much less exciting than in former years. Main interest was centred at Riverside, where Councillor C. F. Sanders, J.P., held his seat against a strong Conservative, Mr F. J. VeaU, J.P., whom he defeated three years ago. Coun- cillor J. T. Richards (Liberal) defeated a popular Conservative in Mr W. B. Francis by 77, a substantial increase on the majority obtained by Mr Richards three years ago. Mr George F. Willett (Conservative) received his fourth repulse in Splott. The election of Mr W. J. Trounce, J.P. (Conservative), one of the retiring aldermen, for Roath in succession to Mr Jabez Jones (the Liberal member who did not seek re-election) leaves the political com- plexion of the Council unchanged. Mr W. Roberts, the Liberal candidate in Roath, polled 276 votes less than he secured against Councillor Lovat Fraaer last year. In the seven wards contested 12,586 voters went to the poll out of a total electorate of 18,720, or 67 per cent. On the votes recorded 6,144 were cast for Progressive candidates and 6,442 for Conservative candidates. Those totals show that a percentage of 32 per cent. voted for the Progressives, and 34 per cent. for the Conservative candidates. The Council as at present constituted con- sists of 12 Liberal councillors, two Independent Liberals, and 15 C -ervative councillors, and on November 91 the new aldermen will be elected. The retiring aldermen are Mr Robert Hughes (who was elected unopposed for the Central Ward., Councillor StOne making way for him), Mr W. J. Trounce (who was returned for Roath yesterday), Mr Illtyd Thomas, and Mr J. H. Jenkins. It is understood that the last-named does not intend, at present at any rate, to return to local public life. In accord- ance with an agreement between the two political parties, five Liberal and five Conser- vative aldermen are to be elected. The probability is that the new aldermen will be Councillors Edward Thomas and Morgan Thomas (Liberals), and Councillors Robert Hnghes and W. Trounce, with, it may be, Mr Illtyd Thomas. Three Conservative aldermen have to be elected beca-use the vacancy caused by the death of Mr P. W. -Carey was not filled. The results of the polling in the warts were as follow, retiring candidates who sought re- election being indicated by asterisks:— RIVERSIDE—Electors 2.568. *C. F. Sanders L. 915 F.J.

The result is that the position of the parties on the Council is unchanged except in the East Ward, where a Labour alderman replaces a Liberal councillor. The constitution of the Council now is 14 Conservatives, 13 Liberals, and 11 Labour. Two of the elected councillors are also aldermen until November 9th. ST.

Centenary Proposals. > — FAR-REACHING METHODIST SCHEME. At the conference of the North Wales Cal- vinistic Methodist Association at Holyheax) onTuesday, the Moderator(the Rev.W. Thomas, Llanwrst), and the secretary (the Rev. John Owen, M.A., Carnarvon), submitted an inter- esting report in the form of suggestions for celebrating the centenary of the first ordina- tions of members of that body to the con- nexional ministry. The suggestions fore- shadowed some new and important departures in the connexional economy. The first is that every individual church in the connexion shall be placed under definite and recognised official pastoral charge. There are a great number of fully ordained ministers without fixed pastorates, and a larger number still of individual churches without settled paston. The first recommendation, therefore, involves an important change in connexional policy. The second suggestion is that this change should be brought about through the medium of the several County Associations and Presby- teries. Each such association is to draft a scheme embracing every church within its area, and dividing the churches into suitable pastorates, care being taken that no pastorate is made of too small an area. This scheme is proposed to be put into operation as opportu- nity offers in the case of each individual church. The third recommendation is that in view of the fact that those now called to the con- nexional ministry must undergo a long period of expensive preparatory training, and must then devote themselves entirely to the work of the ministry, no pastor should receive a stipend of less than iClOO per annum. The final recommendation is, perhaps, the most important of all, and involves a more complete departure from past custom. It pro- poses the establishment of a Central Con- nexional Sustentation Fund so as to equalise the burden of the maintenance of the pasto- rate. No details are given, but this proposal would appear to indicate that all churches would be called upon to contribute to the Cen- tral Fund, from which grants would then be made in aid of the weaker churches and poorer pastorates to ensure the minimum stipend in each case.

CAERPHILLY ASSESSMENTS. A meeting of the Caerphilly Council was held on Tuesday, Mr Hubert Jenkins presiding. On the motion of C ouncillor C. S. Goodfellow it was resolved to memorialise the Local Govern- luent Board to adopt a method whereby the assessment of property be made Uniform throughout the county, and that a copy of the resolution be submitted to the Glamorgan County Council. Col. H. M. Lindsay drew attenition to the matter of a recreation ground for Llanbradach, and said that Miss Thomas had told h im that she was quite willing to giv-e a piece of land on the Glamorgan side of the river, but she did not want it to be a burden on the rates so far as the upkeep was concerned. It was decided that Col. Lindsay should see Miss Thomas and Lord Tredegar's agent to further arrange the terms.

BARRY COLLISION. Dock Entrance Meeting. i' NEWPORT SHIPOWNERS' APPEAL A Question of Obstruction, On Wedneday in the Court of Appeal, before the Lord Chief Justice and Lords Justices Buck- ley and Kennedy, the case of the owners of the Newport steamship Refugio v. the owners of the Cardiff steamship Hazelmere came on for hearing on the appeal of the plaintiffs against a judgment of Mr Justice Bargrave Deane in the Admiralty Division. In this case the plain- tiffs claimed and the defendants counter- claimed for damages arising out of a collision between the two vessels off the Barry Dock entrance on the morning of May 28th last. It appeared that the Refugio, 1,678 tons net regis- ter, in ballast, had arrived from Rotterdam in Barry Roads, where she was to receive orders for a port of loading. On the other hand) the Hazelmere, 722 tons net register, laden with coal, was outward bound from Barry Dock for Birkenhead. Plaintiffs case was that the Refugio, which was in charge of a Bristol Channel pilot, after passing, the signal station on Nell's Point, steered E. by N-IN. along the land, and three- or four times sounded a long blast on her whistle tp. attract the attention of the boatmen by whom it was expected orders would be sent out to her. In these circmnstanc.es, and wiviQ. cLfa\ymg up towards the Barry Dock entrance, those on board the Refugio observed over the western breakwater, and distant about a third of a mile, the masts and funnels of the Hazehnere. The Refugio was kept on her course until the Hazehnere, as she was passing out of the entrance between the breakwaters,sounded two short blasts, and. was seen to be acting as if under a starboard helm, thereby causing danger of collision. The helm of the Refugio was immediately put hard aport, one short blast was sounded on her whistle, and her engines were reversed full speed as the best means oil avoiding a collision. The Hazelmere repeatedthe two short blasts signal, but swung to starboard as if under a hard aport helm, whereupon the helm ot the Refugio was hard astarboarded, and the engines put full speed ahead in the hope of throwing her quarter clear. The Hazehnere, however, came on at great speed, and with her stem struck the port side of the Refugio just abaft amidships, doing her serious damage. Defendants' Contentions. The defendants' case was that,the Hazehnere was passing out of the entrance when the masts and funnel of the Refugio were seen over the breakwater about three cables distant, and three to four points on the starboard bow. A long w&rning blast had already been given when passing out from Lady Windsor Lock, and this signal was repeated. The Hazelmere was passing out of the entrance in the usual way, and as soon as she was able to do so with- out danger from the breakwater, her helm was put hard aport and one 3hort blast given on per whistle. Afterwards her engines were re- versed full speed, but the Refugio, instead of keeping her course and speed and not obstruct- ing the entrance, kept in the way, causing the collision. Mr Justice Bargrave Deane in the Court below refused to accept the plaintiffs' story that the Hazelmere ever sounded a two short blast signal, although he was advised that as she passed out of the entrance she might have been caught by the tide and her .head tem- porarily carried off to port. He came to the conclusion that the fault for the collision rested solely with the Refugio, in that she was so close in that she obstructed,the dock entrance, and, further, because, the vessels being on crossing courses, she failed to keep her course and speed, but instead put her engines astern right in the path which she ought and reason- ably might have known the other vessel was going to take. He, therefore, pronounced the Refugio alone to blame for the collision, and the plaintiffs now appealed. The Appellants' Denials. Appellants did not contest the finding of the Judge on the question of signals, but they denied that they were so close in as to obstruct the dock entrance, and submitted on the point of reversing that they were justified in that action having regard to the fact that the Hazel- piere's head fell to port as if she were under a starboard helm. Mr F. Laing, K.C.. and Mr R. C. S. Dumas appeared for the appellants, and Mr B. Aspinall, K.C., and Mr A. D. Bateson, K.C., for the re- spondents. Mr Laing. in support of the appeal, con- tended that if the Refugio was so close in as to obstruct the entrance, then the Hazlemere was in fault for continuing to come on. Mr Aspinall, for the respondents, supported the decision of the judge below. On the ques- tion of whether the Hazlemere ought to have stopped, he pointed out that but for the Refugio unexpectedly reversing her engines the Hazlemere would have passed safely under her stern. Their Lordships reserved judgment.

Picture Show Sequel. PRECOCIOUS GIRL'S STORY. An extraordinary story was told in a case at j- the Tottenham Children's Court onTuesday, in which a well-dressed girl, named Marie Carroll (14), of 26, Dunbar-road, Wood Green, was charged with damaging an automatic gas meter at her home, and also with stealing 6s 4d meter at her home, and also with stealing 6s 4d from it. Mr Morgan Phillips prosecuted for the Gas Company, and said the girl had shown extra- ordinary juvenile precocity. Mr3 Amelia Robinson, of 24, Dunbar-road, said that about midday on October 25th she heard screams of children next door. On looking over the fence she observed the prisoner's little brother, aged 18 months, and sister, aged five years, standing on the steps while the prisoner came through a window with her hands tied and a cross round her neck. Marie called out, Oh, do come and help me." Witness went to the d08r; which was opened by the five-year-old girl, and Marie said, Two men have come in and asked me where mother was. I said upstairs. They tied my hands together and put a cross round my neck and bound Bessie (the sister) to the table legs and Georgie to the chair. Then they took some matches out of their pockets and tried to melt it (indicating the gas meter). Then they too^ a pair of pliers and wrenched it, and they cofintcd it on the table and put it in a bag and went away through the window the same way i asflBfey came." Neither of the younger children was tied, and witness asked how they got free. Marie replied, I got the scissors and managed to cut Bessie and I undone Georgie with my teeth." Marie's hands were secured by a cord which was twisted but not tied round the wrists. Witness sent for the police. Detective-sergeant Waiters said that upon visiting the house he asked the prisoner to show him how the supposed thieves got in and went away. He noticed footprints going to and away from the window, and he told her that they were not men's footmarks, and asked her to tell the truth. She then said, If I do you will forgive me, won't you? I will tell you how I did it." At her request witness went upstairs to a back room. where he took from a chimney a hand- kerchief containing 4s Id in coppers. Marie afterwards made a statement m which she said that about 12 o'clock that day something came into her rflind to break the gas-meter. She broke it open with a poker and hid the money. She then went upstairs and tied up her sister and brother, and then tied herself, after which she told her sister to scream. She then got the mud on her boots, and stood on a chair to make it appear that burglars had bt en there. Witness added that the prisoner bad since admitted that she had broken open the meter on the previous night, and that she gave money to two brothers and spent some on pastry. The girl, asked to give a reason yesterday, said she had seen a similar incident portrayed at a picture palace. The father of-prisoner, a respectably-dressed man, said sh e was a very good girl, and had been a great help to her mother. The Bench bound the child over with the father m the sum of 40s, the child to be of good behaviour for the next six months.

ENTERING INTO POSSESSION. Rev. Cynddylan Jones' Legacy. Mr Justice Neville, in the Chancery Division on Wednesday, made an order for the Rev. Cynddylan Jones, of Llandilo, to enter into the possession of the property and estate of his deceased wife, Mrs Ann J ones, of Llandilo, as the equitable tenant for life. Mr Dunham, who appeared for the rev. gentleman, said the only point remaining to be disposed of was the terms upon which the equitable tenant for life f should enter into possession of the estate. Mr Methold, for interested parties, pressed for very specific terms. Mr Dunham said he was willing that the pro- perty should be inspected if there was reason to suppose it was not being maintained in letting repair. His Lordship thought power of inspection would be sufficient. That should be done by any person interested applying to the court. He saw the trustees had power to raise money for the purpose of keeping the property in an efficient state of repair. Supposing the pro- perty were unlet because of being out of repair, then the trustees could raise money for renovations. Mr Dunham thought it would be sufficient if they added to the minutes a clause to permit the trustees, or their agents, to inspect the property at all reasonable times, and that the trustees be supplied from time to time with such information as they required. His Lordship said he woujd make an order of the court in those terms.

THE TRAIN WAS STOPPED. Avon Colliers Without Tickets. 4t Aberavon on Wednesday a large number of colliers employed at the Duffryn and Cynon Collieries were charged with travelling on the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway between Cymmer and Cwmavon without tickets on October 20th. Mr A. H. Deer prosecuted. Henry Selby, inspector, said he arranged that the train should be stopped for the examina- tion of. tickets. Some of the colliers had tickets it fortnight old and many others had none at all. Defendants were all fined 20s and costs. The Chairman said that the company had been slack. This question of travelling without a ticket merited the consideration of the officials and the directors of the company, and they could take steps which would prevent the ffence.
