I In the debate Mr Onions (South Wales) said he preferred the wording of the German reso- lution, which recommended the fixing of a minimum wage by agreement. Referring to the remarks of the French delegate who pro- posed the French resolution. Mr Onions said the clauses inserted in the contracts in Eng- land stipulated for a minimum wage. That came from Trade Union action, because it was only those public bodies on which they could bring Trade Union pressure to bear which inserted those clauses. They had, he said, by agreement secured a minium wage in every district in England except Northumberland and Durham. He hoped these districts would also soon be in the same position. Mr Cairns (Northumberland), interposing when the next speaker was called upon, asked leave to make an explanation. What Mr Onions had stated concerning Northumber- land was, he said, untrue. They had had a Joint Committee there ever since 1873, and it had fixed a minimum wage of 5s lOd. The debate had not concluded when con- gress adjourned at 4.30 p.m.—Reuter. Paris, Wednesday.—The International Miners' Conference was presided over to-day by Herr J arolin (Austria), the debate on the minimum wage question being resumed. Herr Singer (Austria) supported the French proposal that a minimum wage should be guaranteed to mine workers. All the nations represented having spoken on the subject, a vote was taken, which resulted in both the French and the German resolutions being adopted unanimously. The German resolution is in 0vour of a minimum wage being fixed by agreement. M. Cordier (France) then introduced a pro- posal that when a general strike is proceeding in any country Miners' Federations in neigh- bouring countries should limit their produc- tion by a fixed abstention from work. He said the surplus stock of unsold coal in France at one period amounted to 2,000,000 tons. This enabled employers to reduce wages, and if a strike was declared it only enabled them with- out further expenses to get rid of their surplus stocks. It was essential the miners them- selves should discover some means of system- atising the output, especially when a strike was in progress. M. Calwaert (Belgium) agreed with the re- marks of the proposer that the output of coal had been greatly augmented of recent years— in Germany to the extent of 86 million tous, in Belgium by from 15 to 23 million tons, or by 300 per cent. in Germany and 50 per cent. in Belgium. Till production was controlled employers were masters of the situation. He recognised the extreme dangers of strikes, which, when there were large accumulations of coal, had little chance of success. Herr Hue (Germany) asked what were the British miners going to do in this matter ? He would like to have a dear and unreserved declaration from them. Were they prepared to limit production in case of a strike ? By dis- cussing the subject in public they might be giving the points away. He suggested it should be referred to the International Com- mittee with instructions to collect informa- tion and invite miners' organisations of the various nationalities to come to an under- standing before entering on any^reat strike. Mr Hall, M.P. (vice-president for the English language for the day), said British delegates had no objection to resolutions on the agenda going to the International Com- mittee, otherwise they would not vote. M. Sorriaux (Pas de Calais), protested against the attitude of the British delegates, which he described as most disastrous and re- actionary. They had, he pointed out, voted in favour of similar resolutions last year at Salzburg. Mr Hall said the British had no desire to go back upon any vote they gave last year. They had not voted on those resolutions last year as a nation, but as delegates. They had voted individually, each on his own responsi- bility. After further discussion the question was referred to the International Committee to prepare a scheme and report to the next con- gress.—Reuter.

Newport Town Council. I tSSUE OF JE250,000 STOCK. Councillor T. Parry, J.P. (Mayor.) presided at a meeting of the Newport Town Council on Tuesday. Alderman John Moses, J.P., father of the Corporation, was heartily congratulated by the Mayor on attaining his 80th birthday. Alder- man Moses entered the Council as far back as 1865, and 30 years ago he was Mayor of New- port. Alderman Mordey, Mr R. J. Searles, Mr H. C. Pavfitt, and the Town Clerk added their congratulations, and Alderman Moses briefly responded. Municipal Bank Question. There was considerable discussion on a motion by Mr E. A. Charles that the borough treasurer be instructed to receive sums of £5 and upwards upon deposit at interest on the usual terms. Mr Charles Thomas and Dr. Lloyd Davies supported, but Mr F.P. Robjent objected on the score of expense. He added that similar proposals in other towns had resulted in failures. There was no evidence that there was a demand for a municipal bank at Newport. The Finance Committee had rejected the proposal. Alderman Bear said they would be becoming municipal shoemakers and so on if they went on at this rate. Mr Peter Wright said it was a step in the right direction. Mr J. W. Hunt said that the Post Office was better for the working men. The Mayor said they ought to encourage the people of Newport to be thrifty. They should not consider the convenience of the banks as. much as the people they represented. Mr E. A. Charles remarked that all he wanted was to give the man with £5 the same privilege as the man with j650. Newport, he thought, should set an example to other Corporations in this matter. After further discussion the motion was lost by 10 votes to 13. „ Administration of Almshouses. The Mayor and ex-Mayor were appointed trustees under the scheme for the administra- tion of the almshouses to be known as the Burton Homes, Waterloo-road, Newport. The Mayor said that they were the most compact homes, and the first batch of old-people would be elected on July 6th. He hoped they would have many more similar homes at Newport. They trusted that Miss Burton would enjoy a long life at her death he thought they would find that further homes of this sort had been left for the benefit of the locality. Corporation-road Reens. Mr H. C. Parfitt referred to the danger caused by the reens at the Corporation-road district being unfenced, there having been a number of drowning fatalities there lately. The reens ought to be fenced at the end of Jenkins-street and Ho yd-street. Alderman Greenland said the Works Committeo would consider the matter. £250,000 Stock. Mr F. P. Robjent brought up a recommen- dation of the Finance Committee that the redemption of the water annuities be not undertaken at present, but that as the £150,000 Bearer Bonds must be redeemed on January 1st, and there were moneys on capital account due to the bank, for which sanction for over JE60,000 and furtjjter capital expenditure would be taking place shortly, an issue of £250,000 £3! per Cent. Stock,underwritten at a minimum price of JE96 per cent., be made when the bank deem it a desirable time. After some discus- sion the report was adopted. Tramcar Parcel Delivery. Messrs J. W. Hunt and Peter Wright ob- jected to the proposed tramcar parcel delivery scheme. Mr Hunt said he agreed with the prin- ciple, but thought they should have more de- tails about the scheme. Mr Wright considered the scheme would be bound to spell failure. The town wps not large enough for such a scheme. It would be better if they had an £ d service for passengers, and a general re- duction to schbol children. Mr F. Phillips (chairman of the Tramways Committee) said they only wanted the Corporation to adopt the principle they would give details of the scheme later on. It was resolved to adopt the principle of the scheme, but the recommenda- tion was sent back for further details. Sunday School Demonstrations. Mr Fred Phillips (chairman of the Tramways Committee) said that Whit-Monday was a record Whit-Monday for receipts on tramcars. At the same time they might have done better, and in this respect he would like to suggest that better arrangements be made with re- spect to Sunday school demonstrations. He thought the procession might start earlier. On Monday they lost two and a half hoursor three hours, and it took another hour to reorganise the car system. Alderman Mordey (chairman of the Watch Committee) said he was in th« procession, and he considered there ^iad been unnecessary loss to the town owing to the bad arnangements of the procession. The police did their duty, but some allowance should be given for the children's day. Alderman Can- ning thought the arrangements on the whole were good. The record takings on the cars were, he thought, partly due to people who came into the town to see the procession.

Fashion and Things Feminine. BY MISS IDA MELLER/ The Holiday Trousseau. Those who take their summer holidays in July are naturally planning their wardrobes to meet the occasion, and their dress-purchases now are governed by thoughts of utility for saesidc or country wear. There must be the serge or flannel suit for mornings, a smart muslin frock for afternoons, and among other things a costume of some cool material, such as voile or Shantung silk, and, of course, as many blpuses and shirts of delaine, zephyr, or other washing fabrics as can be conveniently sup- plied. A zephyr dress, too, consisting of a simple skirt with tucks at the hem and a blouse bodice, or a dress of bordered washing fabric, is certain to prove useful on the sum- mer holiday, and as to hats, there must be at least two—a sailor hat of straw or stitched linen, and a shady hat trimmed with flowers or ribbons. The less hats taken the better, however, since they are awkward things to pack. Our full-length sketch offers a hint for a holiday dress for afternoon wear, simple but smart in style, and suitable for Shantung silk or alpaca. The design works out very well in Oxford-blue Shantung. The skirt has a centre box-pleat decorated with a few little buttons, and on either side are two pleats, and the bodice continues the pleated effect, and at the top is cut to the outline of the base of the throat, where it is finished with a narrow black velvet ribbon with fringed ends. Rising above the bodice is a high collar of fine lace, and the sleeves, turned back with cuffs of their own material, are finished with bands of lace corres- ponding with the collar. The hat might be of gold or blue straw, trimmed with flower-rosettes of silk, and a handful of oats or feathery-look- ing grass. A striped Flannel Coat. Striped flannels and cloth materials may be recommended as an alternative to serge, par- ticularly useful being the coat and skirt cos- tumes of grey striped flannel, and the suits of dark blue cloth, striped with a fine line in white. For rough weather wear at the seaside, these are an excellent choice, the flannel being well shrunk in the first instance. The skirt of the costume should be a plain gojed one, fin- ished with several rows of stitching on the hem, and a choice of flannel coats shows those built on short sac lines, reaching to the hips, and others suggesting Etons or boleros. A simple little coat suitable for striped flannel or cloth is the subject of our second sketch. It is an economical pattern, for, as will be seen, it reaches only to the waist, and is quite plain, save for three little tucks on each shoulder aAd small turned-back ears at the waist, these being fixed back with buttons. The fronts fasten with a single button, and the sleeves conclude with buttoned cuffs. The fronts being narrow, a waistcoat of embroidered pipue is an effective supplement. A waistcoat, by the way, is very useful when renovating a last-year's closed coat-turn back and face the fronts, add a waistcoat, and be- hold the transformation. V A Smart Shirt. There are many women who look their best in a stiff linen collar and severely-made shirt, and others, again, to whom this style of bodice and neckwear does not appeal in the least de- gree, and who are ill at ease whenwearing any-) thing save the softest of collars at the neck. The latter will choose in preference to a starched linen collar allied to a flannel shirt, a collar of the shirt. material itself—a double collar finished with a smart little bow-tie of ribbon or crepe de. chine. The yoke is too convenient a fashion to be lightly discarded, hence it takes a place on many of our summer shirts, enabling them to Set smoothly and becomingly on the shoulders. where fulness is not required. Pleats and stitch- ings help to 'create very pretty effects on some of the newer cloth and delaine shirts for the summer. Note, for instance, the shirt sketched, which is of cream delaine, with a single box-pleat in the centre-front. There is a yoke of plain material, and on to this the shirt-fronts are arranged in box-pleats, which are afterwards stitched along the edges to graduated lengths, taking the shape of mitre-points at the end. The cuffs are trimmed with three straps each, bordered with stitching, and at the neck is a high, double collar, which might be of linei^or delaine. A shirt such as this would be a serviceable addition to the holiday trousseau. Another fashion in shirts shows the fronts covered with small, even tucks or box-pleats, and on the sleeves are introduced a few pleats to correspond. I Candied Lemon Peel. The tollowing is a simple way tQ," candy lemon peel. Cut some lemons in half, length- wise, and remove all the fruit. Soak the peel in water, which must be constantly changed till the bitterness is extracted. Drain the peel, and place in syrup until it becomes soft and trans- parent. During the process, boil up the syrup occasionally with fresh sugar to strengthen it. When the peel is transparent, drain it and put it on a hair sieve to dry in a warm place. A Thought for the Week. Be inspired with the belief that- life is a great and noble calling not a mean and grov- elling thing that we are to shuffle through as we can, but an elevated and lofty destiny.— W. E. Gladstone.

OiRiiiiig Hardening Off Bedding Plants. Begonias, Cannas, and other sub-tropical plants intended for bedding should be hardened off. Even in the lightest greenhouse a great many rays are stopped, and if the plants are suddenly brought into the full glare of the sun- shine the injurious effect will be seen in a bleaching of the green foliage. But that is not all, writes Mr H. C. Davidson in the By- stander." Under glass, even with good ventila- tion, evaporation from the leaves is compara- tively slow, but in the open air it is so much more rapid that the plants are bound to be aft fected unless they are gradually accustomed to the change. As it is difficult to do this in a greenhouse, it is best to move into a cold frame. The lights can then be opened a little more each day, and also, weather permitting, each night, until at last they can be, taken off entirely.. If this course is followed, they do not suffer any check when they are planted out in the beds. If the soil has been pronerly prepared there will be no need to give them any addi- tional nutriment until quite the middle of the season, if even then. Work in the Garden. Thin out hardy and half-hardy annuals. Annuals for autumn flowering ought to be sown as soon as possible. Plant out early-flowering Chrysanthemums. Trenches should be prepared for planting out Celery. Bush fruit trees should be carefully pruned, leaving a healthy shoot at the end of each I branch. < Care must be taken in this hot weather to prevent scorching in the greenhouse. A coat of whiting and water, mixed with a little milk or oil, upon the glass, makes a fair substitute for a blind. Lawns will be found growing very fast, and should be mown frequently. Heneysuckla. Some of the most fragrant and beautiful flowering climbers of the garden are provided by the genus Lonicera-commonly called Honey- suckle or Woodbine. They are to be met with in almost every well-regulated establishment, often covering blank walls, twining round ar- bours, porches,and arches, rambling over trees, and even filling up gaps in hedges. The com- mon native Honeysuckle, L. Periclymenum, and the Dutch varieties, are as popular as any. Both are strong growers,and bear large clusters of red and yellow blossoms. Any fertile and faitly open soil suits the Honeysuckles, but if the soil is close and heavy it is best to lighten it with coarse sandy soil before planting. Gooseberry Disease. The American Gooseberry mildew (Sphaero- thecamors uvae) has appeared in England in its sammer stage, in which condition it is highly infectious. All Gooseberry growers in the infected areas are, therefore, advised to spray their bushes with a solution of liver of sulphur in the proportion of lib of liver of sul- phur to thirty-two gallons of water. A leaflet describing the disease and a memorandum giv- ing directions how to proceed can be obtained from the Secretary, Board of Agriculture and j Fisheries, 4, Whitehall-place, London, S.W., gratis and post free on application. Letters so addressed need not be stamped. In the Kitchen Garden. The earlier sowings of Beans are now well up, and plants of the Runner varieties must have the sticks put to them in good time before they begin to run-in fact, directly they come up. More seed of both these and the Dwarf Beans may still be sown, in well worked and manured soil. Hoe between the rows of these when well up and in growth, and, if the soil is at all light or poor, put a mulch of long manure between the rows.. A good batch of Leeks ought f#Kt>e planted out at once, that is, if the plants are ready, which they will probably be by this time. These are hungry subjects, and require a liberally-manured and fairly deep soil. Some put them out in the bottom of deep holes made witfh a blunt dibber, which gradually become filled up with soil, but it is probably a better plan to plant them out,from six inches to a foot apart,according to the size of produce required, in shallow, cloping-sided trenches, where they can be earthed up as required, for they are like Celery in this respect—the stalks must be blanched. Continue to thin out the seedling plants of Carrots, Parsnips, Onions, and other crops, as Carrots, Parsnips, Onions, and other crops, as advised previously, and get this work all com- pleted as quickly as possible. Beet should be fit for thinning now, and the plants must be reduced to about nine inches apart. The seedlings of this subject may be transplanted, if desired, but the plants must be taken while still quite small,and removed with the greatest care. Tomatoes. Especially now that the time for planting is so far advanced, only good, strong plants, from single pots, should be employed, says a writer in Garden Life," > and I like to have them already in bloom, if not beginning to set the lower trusses. Though in good condition, or heart," the soil for Tomatoes must not be by any means rich, for, when this .is the case. the plants are apt to make a too luxuriant growth, and tail to fruit freely. It must be pressed quite firmly about their roots,however, and the ball of each plant should be buried two inches below the surface. The usual and best plan is to keep each plant to a single stem. Put in a neat but strong stick, and keep these securely but not tightly tied to the plant all the way up. Water must be' given freely to settle the plants in place, and at intervals afterwards as required, especially in dry weather, to promote a vigorous growth. Against a sunny wall or fence is the best place for these sun-loving plants,naturally but they will succeed quite well (in a fine season) out in the open, provided that there is a little shelter of some kind near. The Indoor Plants. Under glass, plants from seed sown about Christmas, or early in January, will be com- mencing to fruit freely by this time. See that they do not want for water at the roots, and, when in full bearing, feeding with liquid man- ures and stimulants of various kinds should be given freely. The blossoms should be fertilised almost daily, especially when the sun shines, using a soft brush, or a bit of wadding tied on be end of a stick, though just a flick with the finger will do. Begin shortening the lower leaves when the plants are about half-way up the roof or stakes this does no harm whatever, and admits more sun and air to the swelling and ripening fruit. Admit as much air as pos- sible, but close the ventilators on cold even- ings. A very important point, especially where no artificial heat is used, is to see that the whole of the foliage and fruit is dry by night- fall, for a single drop of water hanging on to the underside of a fruit will often cause a black spot of decay, which will [ruin the fruit. This is often mistaken for the disease known as the black spot (Cladosporium), but this is situated only in the eye itself. Bluebells In Gardens. The Wood Hyacinth, which the botanists sometimes call Scilla festalis and some times Scilla nutans, is a native of our islands, and, therefore, hardy, sturdy, and strong, as Bri- hojild be. It h- Tmwo™ nf nrnnonotinn r- and increase not usually quite recognised, writes Mr Owen Greening in the Standard." This is because our gardeners extend to the shady places where the bluebells are homed those habits of digging and hoeing and raking which are admirable in their proper placas, but too worrying for woodland beauties. So increase is checked. The pear-shaped bulbs of the Blue- bells should be dibbled in the grass or soil under the trees about three inches deep, and should not afterwards be disturbed. September is the best time to plant. When the Bluebells make their harvest of seed they will increase astonishingly in such a surface mulch. The roots below will also multiply in offsets, and soon the ground will be full of Bluebell bulbs, sending up countless vigorous stems in spring, just as their self-sown relatives do in rural woods.

THE CHURCHES. Rector ef Radyr and Preferment. At the morning service at Christ Church, Radyr, on Sunday, the rector (Rev. David PhiUips, M.A.) announced that the Bishop of Llandaff had conferred on him the benefioe of Bettws-yn-Rhos, in Denbighshire. The rector, after expressing his sense of pleasure that the bishop had conferred this mark of recognition upon him, went on to say that, after careful consideration he had declined this offer. Among the considerations in- fluencing his decision was the fact that he would be leaving Radyr at a very critical period in its church history. A good deal had been accomplished during the last few years at the new church of which they were so proud, and for which they had all worked so hard, and which was now about to be completed, and the claims of Morganstown, the upper village of Radyr, could not much longer be overlooked, and he called upon the congrega- tion to second him, in the future as in the past, in bringing all these necessary develop- ments to a successful issue. Great satisfac- tion is felt by the parishioners at Radyr at their rector's decision.

TALKS ON HEALTH. By SR. ANDREW WILSON. Loss of Sense. By the term loss of sense, I mean to indi- cate the loss of the power of exercising the functions of any of our organs of sense, a loss which not infrequently follows the inroads of certain diseases upon us. Readers of our health talks have frequently appealed to me for information on the subject of the some- what distressing condition. To take an ex- tremely common case for example we find that after an attack of influenza the sense of taste appears to be lost, whilst in other cases t^e sense of smell is known to disappear, and hear- sense of smell is known to disappear, and hear- ing itself sometimes becomes affected in a greater or less degree. It is extremely annoy- ing to find such results following upon illness, other cases being known in which disorders differing widely from influenza leave the patient particularly without the sense of smell or taste. I am afraid very little comfort can be given to sufferers in such cases, save to express the hope, which is happily often justi- fied by subsequent events, that after the general improvement of health, the missing sense will return. There are no special means to be taken, it may be said, to encourage the nerves concerned in the exercise of the sense in question to resume their natural duties. Hence the idea of maintaining the general health in as high a state of efficiency as possible by the use of appropriate food, tonics, change of air, and the like means, carried out into practice in the hope that these conditions by bracing up the general health of the body may restore the missing functions. Treatment. Some ideas regarding treatment in such cases have recently reached us from a foreign source. One physician lays stress on the employment particularly of quinine as a tonic likely to benefit sufferers from loss of smell and taste. It is difficult to see how this remedy can act specially, unless through its general tonic action on the body. All the same, it may be possible that this drug exer- cises a special influence on the nervous system favourable to the re'nstalment of nervous functions. In other cases the use of arsenic, which is a powerful tonic medicine, was followed by beneficial results. It need barely be said that this latter remedy can only be ordered and prescribed by a physi- cian, great care being necessary in its ad- ministration that the prescribed doses be not exceeded, while arsenic is a remedy that cannot be taken for any great length of time, an interval being allowed to elapse after the patient has taken his medicine and before re- suming it, if necessary. Local applications to the nose in cases of loss of smell have also been recommended. The use of menthol snuff is found enumerated amongst remedies which may be tried, and in one case reported from a foreign source the use of ordinary snuff appa- rently exercises a beneficial effect in the case of loss of taste. The authority from which I have quoted recognised that special attention should be paid to the state of the mouth and teeth. A formamint lozenge allowed to dissolve in the mouth two or three times a day acts as a cleansing measure, and,possibly may exercise inthis fashion an effect upon the nerve ends which exercise in the palate and toneue the sense of taste. These are the only hints I can discover likely to be of service to those who unfortunately suffer from deprivation of a sense due to influenza or other causes. Psoriasis. There is no skin trouble which is more common, perhaps, than psoriasis, unless it be that known as eczema. The two ailments are essentially different in their nature, for whilst eczema is a skin trouble often associ- ated with diseased bodily states, being common for example in gouty persons. Psoria- sis, on the other hand, appears to be entirely independent of any bodily condition what- ever. It has often been called the skin disease of the healthy man, and if one were inclined to attribute it to any cause whatever, that cause would likely be found in some peculiarity of the body, which, as often as not, seems to be transmitted from parent to offspring. A curious feature regarding psoriasis is that, whilst it is often characteristic of a body otherwise per- fectly healthy, it is liable to fade away and disappear when the general health fails in one particular or another. When convalescence is established and the patient becomes per- fectly well, his skin trouble may probably re-appear. Its Nature. In psoriaris we find a skin eruption con- sisting of very slight elevations of the skin surface, the characteristic feature of the dis- order being the presence of white or silvery scales. The patches may grow larger and seem to be most frequently developed in places where the skin is thick, whilst, as a rule, both sides of the body are affected. No discharge exists in this" disease, the only ap- pearance characteristic in addition to the scales being found in the reddened edge of the margin of the patches, when they are spreading. The treatment of psoriasis re- solves itself first of all into a general care of the health. The food should be plain and stimulants avoided. Many specialists regard a sea voyage to a warmer climate as a fitting part of the treatment, whilst they generally administer arsenic or give in the early stages of the complaint ten grains of salicylate of soda (or two tabloids), twice or thrice daily between meall. Local treatment is of great service here. The scales should be washed off with hot water and soft soap. If any redness be pre- sent, a little cold cream may be spread on them, but in later stages a stimulating oint- ment is necessary. A favourite prescription is made up of 15 grains of chrysarobin to one ounce of prepared lard. A very little of this remedy may be rubbed daily into each patch. It stains the skin and also stains linen. Skin Itching. As we are dealing with skin troubles in the present instance, it may be well here to refer to a common skin condition apt to make life very miserable when it is represented in an acute form. This condition is known as itching of the skin, or pruritis. When a persistent itching of any part of the skin is present, the first point to be borne in mind is that it jnay be proved to be a symptom of bodily disease. It is, for example, extremeleyicommon in dia- betes. It occurs in gouty and rheumatic people, and it may also be found be found in liver troubles. We must, of course, also take into account that itching may accompany certain skin disorders themselves, in which cases its presence is easily ^counted for and more than one case of tnis kind has been proved to be due to the presence of lice, which even cleanly people may acquire, the existence of the parasites being utterly unsuspected. There is great need, therefore, in all cases, for a searching examination into, first, the general health, and second, any local causes which may give origin to this affection. Treatment. If the itching is dependent upon general bodily disorder, it is obvious that the treat- ment of such disorder will be theonlymeans of effectually curing the case. This is, of course, a matter for the doctor's discovery. Otherwise, to relieve the pain itself tempo- rarily, certain lotions may be employed. Bathing the parts with tepid or hot water in which a little bi-carbonate of soda ha* been dissolved will often exercise a soothing in- fluence on the skin. Occasionally, vinegar and water, or spirits and water will be found useful. A little Izal or coal tar liquor added to tepid water and daubed on the skin as a lotion will frequently exercise a soothing effect. Another prescription frequently used is composed of one drachm of carbolic acid, two drachms of glycerine, three drachms of rectified spirit, and camphor water up to six ounces. This should be daubed on the affected part or applied on lint, care being taken that in the- use of this lotion the skin is unbroken.

The Wounded Caretaker. PENARTH MAN'S CONDITION. At Penarth on Wednesday J. Dono van, rigger, Arcot-street, was again brought up on remand with unlawfully wounding George Millar, the caretaker of the Penailth Cricket Ground and Pavilion, a fortnight ago. Dr. Musgrove at. tended and stated that Millar was still suffer- ing from the effects of the assault. He had been brought out from the Infirmary, but he was now in a worse condition, and he was afraid that he would not be able to appear for at least another fortnight. Mr Harold Lloyd again appeared and asked for bail, but the Bench (Dr. Howell Rees and Mr H. Rees Jones) pointed out that the man was worse and the assault was so serious that they could not accede to the request.
