SATURDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1995. OCTOBER. In the month of October the ham of the thrashing machine is heard in tbe coun. try. The season of harvest is past. Here and there we are reminded of the past season by the announcement of a harvest featival, bat the farmers' thoughts are con- cerned with other things. In the towns the entrance of October in the calendar in marked by the announcements of lectures, evening classes, and concerts. The theatres are busy; the fluttering leaves of gold which skurry before the wind tell of the departed summer, not without sadness. When October with its chills arrives the winter is not far behind, though there are bright October days, days of golden sunlight adding emphasis to the brown and yellow and gold of the fast changing leaves of the creepers decorating the walls. In the country and the town there is no lack of evidence of the changing of the seasons. Nature has done her work, the harvest has been gathered, the harvest festivals have been held, and ere the season of rest comes alontz the work ot dissemination of the seeds goes on. The winds are dispersing the many seeds which in themselves are miracles of beauty and wonder. So carefully has Nature arranged for the continuation of her plants that the seeds are provided with hooks and wings, and every passing breeze carries with it myriads of the seeds of groundsel, thistle, and dandelion. The floating seeds are among the. many signs of October. Nature, beautiful in growth and decay, is never more beautiful than in the rich October time, when the absence of the summer flowers is fully compensated by the rich colouring of autumn leaves in the process of decay. The gloom of the falling year is thus lightened. The holiday-maker has almost disappeared from the country and the sea- side. The angler for trouc and salmon has put aside his work or his pastime, while pheasant shooting has begun, and with it too the harvest of the herring, which is scooped up around the coast. On Sunday last the quaint festival of blessing the nets was conducted at Yarmouth, which is a blessing on the harvest that is to come. And if we were not to.note the changing season and the approach of winter, the traveller on the local lines would toon be reminded ot the fact by Jiscovering that all the summer train services had dis- appeared. October the golden is here, but so full of opportunities and engagements and interests that the passing of summer and the approach of winter is not full of sadness as it onoe was, for the engage- ments and pleasures of modern life free winter of its old regpeis and terrors. The approach of winter and the gloomy months only necessitate; a welcome exchange of occupations and pursuits,

The syren voices of the Tariff Reformers told the working men of Wales and Eng- land that in its practical effect the imposi- tion of duties on all imports would result in benefiting the working classes. It was proved to them by a simple process of arithmetic that they would have to pa, a very little more for their food m order to get the greater advantage of higher wages- "Aose who had had experience of getting an increase in wages preferred the cheaper food without the bait of higher pay for their w jrk. But there is another way of proving the matter, not by specious pro- mises and argument, but by the actual experience of the workers in Protected countries. Germany is such a country, and how does the working man fare there? In Germany the corn duty and the meat taxes are high. The price of food is con. sequently higher than in Britain, and the wages of the German working man art low, much lower than in Free Trado Britain, and moreover his working hours P, are long. He has to be contented not with fine English beef, or the beef It'id mutton from the Colonies, but with ho. se- flesh--when he can afford it. Germany is the ideal Protected country, where the worker, according to the Tariff Kefdrmer*, I ought to be receiving high wages and enjoying regular work. As a matter of fact, it is found that the German wosker's condition is not enviable. Rent acd food are provided with difficulty, and the earn- ings of the wife are necessary to make existence possible. Horse liver, cheesc, and ,5.1.:(Eki: horseflesh sausages are delicacies; the worker has no holiday, and it is estimated that while seven millions from the import duties go to the State, forty millions reach the landlords through the taxation on corn. This is what the Tariff Reformers desire to bring about in Britain.

In the opinion of Lord Northbourne, a large farmer, both the plough and the pail required skilled hands to make them pay. That had also been his discovery in poultry farmiug. He was recounting his experience at the opening of the thir- teenth yearly show of the British Dairy Association, which has been visited this week by the party of farmers' wives and daughters who joined in the Cnunty Council excursion from Glamorgan. Before those who care to visit the Dairy Show is displayed the latest successful and scien- tific methods of working in the manufac- ture of butter and cheese and the prepara- tion of poultry for the market. Tbose who do not take the trouble to know and under. stand what is being done in the world in their own particular calling soon fall to the rear, and for this reason the Dairy Association's annual exhibition has become of real importance to the dairy farmer. There is no longer excuse for remaining in the background, and the Rritish dairy farmer has proved that he can successfully compete with the world.

In the course of a few weeks the miners' leaders and coalowners will be engaged in discussing the new agreement to replace that which expires with the present year. The approach of the end of the coal agree- ment gives added importance to opinions on the coal trade, and accordingly Mabon enters into the defence of the miner and his leaders against the statements of correspondents whom he refers to as the stormy petrels of the South Wales Coal Field." Various reasons all reflecting on the South Wales miner and his leaders are given for the depression which has over. taken the coal trade and it is sought to saddle them in advance with the responsi- bility for any trouble which may arise during the forthcoming negotiations. Mabon'a letter is restrained, yet crammed with facts as well as opinions on the coal trade and the local conditions. The con- ditions of the markets and of the trade of the world are not now the private posses. sion of the coalowoers. The coal trade is better undetstood by the miners' leaders and instead of this making for trouble and division it has helped towards peace in the coal trade of South Wales, for we have yet to learn that the miners' leaders are averse to reason in their negotiations where the facta are clear and obvious. Mabon oieets a covert attack with facts and figures which cannot be explained a"ray.

One of the growing problems of the day is the necessity to live the simple life. The returns of trade have shown a great decrease in the drinking habits of the country in a much smaller consumption of beer, but Britain cannot yet be said to be sober. Nor, on the other hand, is the simpler life popular with the population. The populace live a simpler life than the wealthy classes because they needs must, but those who do not sit down daily to a nine course dinner and employ a small army of servants to do their bidding do not all live the simple life. The simple life is capable of a wide and varied interpreta- tion, but it originated probably in the con. ration of food reforms atbd the vege- tarian methods of feeding. It has been said that a French peasant would live on what a woman of the British working, classes wasted or threw away in her cook. ing, and indeed there is much to learn in the arts of preparing and using the simple foods. A simpler diet and the simplicity of living according to well acknowledged rules of health would soon produce a healthier, happier and wealthier people.

A DISTINGUISHED OFFICER. Sir Donald Stewart, Commissioner and Com- Dander of the Forces of JBiItish East Africa, who died tbe other day at Nairobi, Mombasa, wai born in 1860. He was a son of that distin- guished Indian officer, the late Field-Marshal Sir Donald Stewart, with whom he served in the Afghan War of 1879-80. As a snbaltero in the Gordon Highlanders, he participated in Lord Roberta's famous march from lisbal to the re- lief of Rbandabor, and at the battle in which the Afghans were finally routed, be was rsveiely wounded, In the following year he was with his regiment In the Boer War in the STransvaaJ. The Late Sir Donald Stewart. Next Sir Donald saw active service with the mounted iofantry in tbe Soadan Campaign of 1885, and at Haaheen bad his boras shot ander him. When trouble broke out with Asbanti he was seleoted to take an ultimatum to the mon- arch who rnled over the at that time little-kr)own country, and in tbe canaclty of political officor he accompanied the military expedition which went up to CoomMsie in 1895-6. Sir Donald Stewart lemained in Asbantl as Britiib Resident from 1900 to 1904, when he received his aopointment to the East African Protectorate. Created C.M.G. in 1897. he was promoted K.C.M G. three years ago. It had been anticipated that he would shortly have been made governor ol the consoli- dated Protectorate of Uganda and British But Africa.

GENUINE WISDOM COMES FROM FOOD EXPERIENCE. Things never look so dark but that properly selected food will bring the proper strength, courage, and vigour to brighten one's life again. A woman believe this and tells why Two years ago I began to bave trouble with my stomach and everything I ate canBed ttuob distress 1 could not sleep nights, and about the last of July two years ago I was taken so violently ii) my family tbonght I had beru poisoned and sent for the doctor. Tie attended me for weeks without any change except that I grew sleadliy weaker and almost lost the use of my limbs. The doctor would flay to me. You must eat, you can't expect to get any stronger unless you eat," so I would try, and suffered agony every time. Finally we changed pl.ly'ii.DII. and tbe new doe tor said my nervous system was inavetv bad condition. and he was right, because I bad nervous pros- tration for three months. One day my daagthter brought home a yellow box of little brorcn grains, that looked crisn and natty. She said it was Grape-Nuts, and wanrea me to try it. Although I bad no hopes i: was a great sutprise to me when I ate a little with some cream to find it agieed with me, and I alept- well all night, feeling stronger next day. For several week. I ate nothing but Grape. Nuts and cream and kept growing stronger and better every day, and in a short time not only did all my itomaob trouble disappear, bat this food alio built my nerves up strong And steadv, and,now although 65 years of gqe I am so strong I do all my housework and bate done so ever since Grape-Nuts brought me up out of my sick bed. 1 can eat other foods now too, but nevec I have anything bat Grape-Nuts for Hupner and always Re. iL good night's rest. It lit ems lo mtl from an experience that Grape-Nuts would cuie any stomach trouble." Name given by Gripe- Mate Co., 66. Shoe-lanej Wador., E.O.

I The New War Office. Now that the Bcafioldiug has been almost entirely removed, a good idea of whnt the Cne entirely removed, a good idea of whnt the 013e ) new War OE&ce boiling in Whitehall will look like when cOuiDlisted can be obtained. It is a statelv and improlsive pile. It was designed by Mr William Young, an architeot of rare ability, who, nnhabpily, has not lived to see his design carried out. The site is an irregular one, and consequently the task of erecting a single great building which shall be both stately in appear- ance and convenient for tbe purposes it is in- r'- -1- tended to serve hau been Due of some difficulty. By skilful planning, howecer, and by the cle\er use of round pavilions at the anglei, the archi- tect has, to it great extent, disguised the inevit. able irregularity of the building, and the observer of the completea structure is more likely to be impressed with the (ine effect of the facade to Whitehall than with the fact that the four sides of the building are of unequal length, and only one of its angles is a right angle.

I Sir E. Clarke Named. FAVOURED AT HEADQUARTERS. Although in local political circles tbe definite announcement of Sir Edward Reed, K.C.B., not toseek re-election as candidate for the Parliamentary representation of the borough was unexpected, amongst Conservative and Unionist leaders in Loudon it did not come as a surprise. Of late it has been increasingly evident tbtJ Sir Edward would probably find the turmoil of a. contested election too great a strain for him to undergo- During the part two or three days the hon. member, who is slaying at the residence of his son in Wimbledon, has been confined to his bed, suffering a good deal from fits of conghing, which seriously affect his heart, some of the valves of which are not acting properly. The coughing also produces long periods of sleepless- ness, and it is now considered certain that Sir Edward will have to spend the winter abroad. The [lon. Ivor Guest, M.P., the Liberal candidate for The borough, who line just returned from the Continent, ia now staving at Canford Manor, Wimborne, where he will probably remain for about a fortnight. Now that Sir Edward Reed, who had been assured of the support of the local Unionist party and members of the Cardiff branch of the Tariff Reform league, has withdrawn bis candidature, these organisations will have to find r* successor to champion their cause. There can be no doubt that an out-and-out Unionist candidate who favours tariff reform will now be sought after, and it is almost certain that It will be left entirely to ihs Ccnservatives to make noinication. As -it is not likely that an attempt will be made to induce any gentleman connected with the distiict to stand, negotiations will at once be opened with Captain Welis, the chief ageut of the party in London, with a view to obtaining from him certain nlimes from which a selection conid be made. Although at headquarters the chances of the deleat of the present Government at the general election are fully recognised, for some reasou they anticipate a very keen contest in Cardift, and it io understood that a Bpeoial effort will be made to secure an exceptionally strong candidate to do battle for the Unionist cause. Well Known Politician Mentioned. -We have good reson for stating that it) any list of candidates which may be supplied by Capt. Wells the name of Sir Edwa.td Clarke, X.C., is almost certain to te included. It is bevond question that the learned gentleman Will stand for Hoane constituency at the next election, and at the present moment be is free to accept any invitation from Cardiff, Thi parly leaders in London would, we have good authority fcr stating, be highly gratified if Sir Edward Clarke conld be tndnced to stand for the Welsh Metropolis, and as he dearly Jove. a fight such as they consider be would experience there, it is thought to be not at all Improbable tbat if approached he would favourably consider the matter. It wonld be amatkable coincidence if be should be found to bs the Tory champion at the next election, inasmuch as he was for some lime the colleague of the Hon. Ivor Guest in the re- presentation of Plymouth, and indeed it was ho who, recognising the promising abilities of the Liberal candidate for Cardiff as a politician, recommended him for acceptance at the bands of the electorate of the south-western borough, dir Edward is, we believe, ,'rangsr to Cardiff politics, for he assisted Sir ciardinge Giffard, Q.C., the present Lord Chancellor, when he stood 118 the Conservative nominee. Sir Vincent Caillard, who -t Otis time was suggested as likely to contest Cardiff in the Unionist interest, ii now regarded as being out of the running. Of course if Mr Balfour iacfi8<d. in passing bit promised Redistribution Bill Cardiff would, under the scheme ontlined by him, have at least two members, and in that case, provided Sir Edward Clarke WM secured, it is probable that in order to poll the whole streogth of the party the Unionists would be content to concentrate their efforts to assure his return.

SIR EDWARD REED'S THANKS. Sir Edward Reed telegraph though his secre- tary (Me Bartram) hilt most grateful th!tnks for the generous manner in which bis letter of re- tirement has been received.

FUNERAL OF MISS MONEY. Impressive Scene at Watford. The faueral of Miss Money, victim of the Mersibam Tunnel mystery, took place at Wat- I ford on Tuesday afternoon. The cortege left thu residence of Mr George Money, brother, in Mas- cot.stroet, where the coffin was deposited over- I night, just before 4 p.m., and passed through streets which were densely lined with people. The cemetery was closed to all but mourners. The first part of the service took place in the chaps), being conducted, according to tht, iites of the Primitive Methodist body, by Rev. J. Bin- nick, who christened the deceased, a member of his Sunday School, and Rev. J. T. Home. The Rev. Me Horne delivered an impressive address, remarking that the obsequies had suoh painful associations that the whole eivilised world sympathised with the deceased's relatives in thair grief. Tbev were troubled by a sense of something mysterious. They could see no colour in the auto mn world because of the dark cloud over their souls, Rev. Mr Binnick in the coarse of praye: prayed that God would bring the author of the tragedy to make an open confes&ion of his dead, and that the world might yet know that there was a God who lived and could bring the criminal to justice. The coftiu, which was of polished elm with heavy brass furniture and a n&ooe-plate Rimply inscribed, was enveloped in beautiful flowers, and waB followed to the grave by members of the deceased's family, and among others by Mr Bridget and Mr Frank Batter. Police Suspect Murder. The Press Association says Bupt. Brice, of the Surrey Constabulary, who has control of tbe police investigation of the supposed murder of Miss Money in the Meratham Tonne), paid a visit to London again on Tuesday. He saw Inspector Warren, tbe head of the London and Brighton Railway Co.'s polico, and other officials, after which hu proceeded to the West End. Tbe oolfce are continuing their inquiries in the full conviction that a murder has bsen com- mitted. They are looking amongst others for Mite Lane, formerly of Bridget's Dairy. She was Miss Money's piedeceiinor as- bookkeeper at the establishment, and it is thought that she may bo able to givesome information as to tbe associates of the daceased girl. With respect to the handkerchief marked M." found recuntly on the raih, a, line at Penge, it is pointed out that it ivar distinctiv stated at the inquest that there was no initial whatever upon the handkerchief carried by its- ceased oh the day of hot death. Still, the police are glad of tbo slightest clue, and they have taken postiession of the handkerchief on the off chance of it proving useful. The running of the experimental train through the tunpel was carried out by the rail- way company at the special request of the police, and answered its puipose. Miss Money. Merstham Tunnel.

MOVEMENTS OF THE POLICE. The iuquiries by the police into the Meretbam Tunnel mystery on Wednesday largely centred aronod Lavender Hill and Clapham Junction, wbeie Mi?s Money, the deceased girl, was em- ployed. Supt. Brice, of the Surrey County Police, who is foremost in the investigation, yes- terday again went up to town and consulted bis Metropolitan confreres. His presence in London, which BB a matter of fact is a daily occurrence, gave additional currency to a tumour circulated earlier in the day'td the stlect that a man bad been detained for inquiries at Lavender Hill Police Station. The police, however, emphatically denied that there was any foundation for this report. Sapt. Brice spent about four hours at Lavender Rill Police Siatiou, and the attendance there of a record clerk from beadquarteia suggested that there was something of importance afoot. Inspector Fox, ot Scotland Yard, an expert and experienced officer, had a long inter- view with the county superintendent, and later they together visitad some of the, shops in tho loaality, amongst tbem being that of a jeweller from wbom Mias Money is anpposed to have made purchases. Many sensational rumours arose, but the investigation showed that the police aru proceeding mersly on the customary lines adopted in such rases as the present.

THE WIFE OBJECTS. The Llandaff and DinasPovvis District Council on Wednesday, Rev. J. R. Buckley presiding, I discussed the action of one of their road foremen who had been ordered to remove his residence to a more central position. The man had cegleoted to do so, and Bubaequer.tl? he was notified that unless he moved before the 29th of September bis ap- pointment would be terminated. The Clerk (Sir Warren) reported that tbe man had not yet re- moved. Mr J.

.e- VALUABLE PLATE STOLEN. A Whitchurch Outrage. A seiions case of sacrilege) ia reported from Whitchurch. Between 9 and 9.30 on Saturday the verger (Mr Cozens) proceeded to the church to make the mual preparations for the Sunday scriiets, and at once noticed that a window on the north side of the building bad been broken, and a sufficient opening made to allow ol a man to get through. Pieces of Klass were strewn about iu all direc- tious, and it was evident that considerable force had been used, for the small iron bara which protected the window had been bent and some smashed. The verger promptly made an examination of the interior to discover if anything had been stolen, and on going to the vrstry found that the cupboard containing the Communion plate had been forced open aud the plate, which cost about Y,100, and was recently presented to the church, was gone. A bottle of wine was also missing, and colecting-boxes had been tampered with. Sergeant Phillips was at once sent for, and he, with other members of the County police force, is prosecuting inquiries. The robbery is of such a character that it is reasonable to conjecture that it was the work of a professional thief or thieves. The Rev. Llewellyn D tviei, the vicar, states that the service which has been stolen was of sterling silvar, and was beautifully engraved. It was given to the church by Mr Charles Mor- gan, of Penylan, just before his death. The j ordinarv plated service had not been taken. In the nave of the charcb tbree alms boxes bad been forced open aud their contents taken. Irrespective of the Communion service, the vicar estimates that about iEl7 has been lost io money, &u.i and that the damage to the building by reason of the force used is about 42, The vicar adds that the church was left per- fectly safe at 8.30 on Friday evening, so that it mubt have been between that timo and an early hour on Saturday morning that tbe robbery took place.

SACRILEGE AT PORTHKERRY. FURTHER DEPREDATIONS NEAR CARDIFF. The sacriligeoua act perpetrated at Whit- church, where communion piste of the value of P100 was stolen, has been quickly followed by a similar outrage at Portbkeriy Church, which was entered by thieves during Sunday night or early Monday morning, and the communion plate stolen. It consisted of a silver iug, silver salver, acd a iiilver cup. Entrance to the church had beep effected by means of one of the windows The police have been sppiiaed of the occur- rence amd are making all efforts to trace the thieves, who are apparently a gang of marauders ngaged iu systematic church robberies.

UNINVITED GUESTS AT PENMARK. Two men arrested at Cardiff on Sunday. Thomas Morsan, hawker, and Thomas Fury, travelling tinker, were brought before Messrs U. A. neywood and T. Andrews at Barry on Mon- day charged with breaking and entering Pen- mark Vicarage, and stealing a silver-plated cake basket and a cake atind, and a Ktuger sixpence, valued altogether at 45 15s 6d, the property of the Rev. Percy Mortimer. Evidence was given by Eva Pitt, domestic servant, who stated that the vicarage bad been un. occupied for a week. On the 27th the house WRB secDrely locked up, and every- thing was safe. Next day, abont noon, when paying her daily visit"to see that everything was right, she met two men. very mnah like prisoners, outside ou the roadway neaifthe vicarage. On going to the house she saw that the back door had been forced open. The pantry smelt strongly of drink, all if some persons had been there drinking, and the cake basket and stand were missing. Upstairs several drawers weie found open, and the contents disturbed, and the lid of a box bad been forced open. Mis Mortimer, on her return on Saturday night, missed a Kruger sixpence from her bed- room. The coin was dated 1896, and wa-i worth 4s 6d as a cutio. Prisoners weie at the Red Cow Jno, Penmaik, at 9.45 on the evening of the 27tb, where they were seen by David. William tHaw, the landlord. About 9 o'clock the following morniDg the men called again. Thomas liowells, stationmaster, Abertbaw, said he saw both prisoners at that village at 1.20 p.m. on the 28th. ftloircan afterwards called at the atatiou and witness exchanged a Krager six- penco for him. P.C. Williams, Penmark, after receiving in- formation from Eva Llitt, examined the vicarage, nnd the same afteruoon found prisoners at the Bine Anchor pnbli-e-boaiie. He seaicheci them, but failed to liud anything on tbem. Witness asked them what they had done with the Krug sixpence which they had been offering for sale, and they admitted having sold it. witness at that time did not know that the coin bad been stolen, About 9 p.m. en Saturday witness re- ceived further information, and on Sunday arrested both the onsooers at a lodging-house ill Millicetit-skreet, Cardi[T. Prisouerti were both committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions.

THE SAME GANG P Barry and Rhoois Railway Stations were broken into by thieves during Sunday night. Io the former case a collection box was forced and the contents stolen, but in the latter case, after effesting an entrance into the station premises, the thieves must have been disturbed, for nothing has been missed, Cardiff Premises Ransacked. A burglary was committed ou Sunday evening at the promises of Mr Frank Morgan, grocer a.nd baker, 102, Clifton-street, Cardiff. The premiaes cousist of a shop and dwelling-house, and are situated at the cortitr of a Btreat, the shop being iD Clifton-street and the house extending down a quiet, ill-lit by-street. It was from this Bide stieet that accesi4 w8. gained to the back of the premises. Mr Morgan and his family left the house shortly after 6 o'clock on Sunday evening, and went to chapel. Mr Morgan saw that the piemises were locked and cecured. As an extra precaution, however, he took in his pocket the takings of the previous day. amounting to between iE40 and £ 50, which he bad been unable to deposit in tho bank on Saturday. Lieturning from chapel Mr Morgan found his house in great confusion, having been thoroughly ransacked both upstairs and down. Several articles were missing, including a lady's gold watch belonging to his daughter, and about 251J in money. Some of this bad been taken from a missionary box, which was smashed. An inspection showed that entry bad been m!tdo to file Premises by means of a door at the back. The upper part of this door consists of small glass panes, one of which bad been broken and the latch of tbe door put back from tLe inside. The burglar had evidently watched tho family depart for chapel before attempting to break into tbe pre- mises. Mr Morgyu all he went out saw a mau in the street, but that was not a circumstance suffi- ciently remarkable to excite bis suspicions. The fact is disclosed, however, that lie lildy living opposite the bonse saw a man in one of the upper roomH about 7 30 p m. striking matches, but as the gas was lit downstairs and as the man was of about the sauae size and bnild as Mr Morgan himself, she concluded i, was him, and thought no more of the matter until she heard of the burglary. Mr Morgan returned from chapel at 8 o'elook, end !be police were at once apprised of the burglary, and set to work to investigate the affair. From infomation that subsequently came into his possession, Inspector L Bingham communicated with tbo Swansea police, who, acting on instructions, arrested a Cardiff man named tijl, Thorna*, who has no settled abode, Imng mostly in lodjliDR-honael. A watch case aDd portions of a watch that had evidently been taken to pieces were found in the possession of Thomas, who will be brought up to-day and charged with the burglary.

IRREGULAR PROCEDURE. A CARDIFF COMMITTEE ANNOYED. On Tuesday Councillor Chappell at the meeting of the Cardiff Corporation asserted that certain correspondence bad passed between the town clerk and the Glamorganshire Canal Company relative to the landing of exploBivea, but thi* the town clerk denied. The assertion was repeated on Wednesday at a meeting of the Property Committee, and the Town Clerk said he bad re- ceived a. complaint by telephone to the effect that the Glamorganshire Canal men had been approached without the consent of Mr Corbett or Mr Llewellyn. Inspector Major now stated that he had ap- proached the men for the purpose of getting evi- dence, and that he had subsequently received a letter from the town cleik who mentioned the complaint. He had then communicated direct with Mr Corbett. The Town Clerk said this latter communicatic-a should have beeri sent through him. Alderman Carey asked Mr Major if ue had shown these letters to M: Chtippeli, Mr Major replied that he hud-fpoken casually to Mr ChapDell about it, and had shown him the letter received from the town clerk. Connoillor Crossraun, the chairman of the committee, said that as long as he was acting as chairman of that committee Mr Major OUllbt to let him know of mattsrs auch as these. Ha had to Bit itftbti Council the previous day and listefl to Mr Chappell accusing the committee and the town clerk cf suppressing lettera. Each mem- ber of the committee wis ignorant of the facts, whereas Councillor Chappell knew everything. Mr Ma jor I only had a conversation with him arid showed him the letter, saying that tha Canal Company objected to my approaching their men. bnt I did not know be was ROing to bring the matter before the Council. The chairman addad that the town clerk had no correspondence with the canal people at oil, and the commitee knew nothing about the letters. Alderman Mildon Mr Major should not spsak to members outside the committee about com- mittee matters in future. The Cbairinan agreed. Alderman Caray added thst if Mr Major found any difficulty in getting evidence his proper course was to write to ths town clerk direct, and if he was obstructed, the committee would do everything in their power to help bim. Time seemed to have been a misunderiiinadiag all round. The incident then closed.
