j LOCAL AND OTHER NEWS
LOCAL AND OTHER NEWS The weavers of Carmarthen are exper- iencing one more turn of the screw that bad trade always effects. On Saturday next a football match will be played at Pembroke Dock between Pembrokeshire and Aberavon teams. We publish in another column a list of subscriptions promised in aid of establishing a Cottage Hospital for North Pembrokeshire. Further subscriptions are respectfully solicited, which will be thank- fully 1eceived and duly acknowledged by Dr H. Lawton Swete, Fishguard. The "London Gazette" of Tuesday contains a commission signed by the lord- lieutenant of the county of Cardigan ap- pointing Mr John Francis (Cardigan) as deputy-lieutenant. The Rev P. Williams, minister of the Congregational Church, Lower Clapton, London, left home last week and has not since been heard of. Pembrokeshire men resident in Car- diff and the neighbourhood intend I to celebrate the old memories of their native county by meeting and dining together at the Park Hotel on March the 1st (St. David's Day). The gathering will be presided over by the Bishop of Llandaff. At Banbridge on Saturday, a Mrs Jordan was further charged with murder- ing her husband by poisoning. The evidence showed that a large quantity of strychnine was habitually kept in the house for poisoning ra ts.- Thei prisoner was again remanded. On Saturday last the inhabitants of Aberavon were startled by the news that Mr Evan Griffiths, the manager of the ill- I fated Glamorgan Central Building Society, had committed suicide by drowning himself in Port Talbot Dock. Deceased had been depressed since the crash of the society occurred. He was formerly a councillor for Aberavon, and had been mayor. The Roose Petty Sessions were held at the Shire Hall, Haverfordwest, on Satur- day last.1 There were no cases for hearing and the chairman (Mr R. Carrow) was presented with a pair of white kid gloves. At the/Cardiff Police-court on Saturday, a womsfcn named Florence Jones, aged 33, was brought up for the 105 time with being drunk, &c. She was sent to goal for a month. George Thomas, who was executed at Carmarthen on Tuesday week for murder- f ing Mary Ann Jones, left behind him a confession. In this he states that he met Jones, who was a virtuous girl, on several occasions, but had never walked out with her beyond seeing her home. About a fortnight before the murder she seemed to be avoiding him, and it came into his mind that he would do something to her, but he did not determine to murder her until the day the deed was committed, when he carried a razor with him, and met her after chapel, when he threw her down and cut her across the face and throat, the second wound being fatal.

A STEAMER BUNK.
A STEAMER BUNK. CREW LANDED AT FISHGUARD. A Correspondent writes :-On Monday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock, the Inhabi- tants of Llanwnda parish sighted a steamer outside in the bay in a sinking condition. They watched her fate eagerly, and about 5.30 they saw clouds of smoke ascending, and immediately after the vessel sunk, the crew having taken to their boats. The weather at the time was very mild and the sea calm, which enabled the crew (consisting of twelve men) to make for Fishguard harbour. Upon enquiry the steamer turned out to be the s.s. Morfa of Swansea, owned by Messrs Vivian and Sons. The steamer left Swansea at two o'clock on Sunday morning, with coal for Belfast. About 1 p.m. the same day she is supposed to have come into collision with some wrecka.ge in the vicinity of the North Bishops Lighthouse. It was thought at the time that there was no damage done to the steamer, but in about an hours time it was reported that she was leaking. The captain then decided to run the steamer into Fishguard, and ordered the pumps to be kept going, but all efforts to save her were in vain. The crew took to their boats, and within a short time afterwards the steamer sunk near Camp-y-French Bay. The crew made for Fishguard harbour, where they were met by a large number of people. They were at once provided with refresh- ments by the inhabitants of Lower Tower. One of the crew hailed from Dinas, and the remaining number were on Tuesday sent to Swansea by the Fishguard agent of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. The following report appeared in the Western Mail —The steamer Morfa,' of and from Swansea for Belfast, founder- ed on Monday afternoon one mile east of Strumble. The vessel sprang a leak, and shortly afterwards foundered. The crew, when they saw no hope of Saving her, took to their boats and landed at Fishguard harbour.—The Morfa was a small steamer belonging to Messrs Vivian, of Swansea, and was on a voyage to Belfast with coals. She was commanded by Captain Mitchell (of Swansea). The Morfa' has traded from Swansea to the Irish Coast for many years without mishap.
THE " RENOWN " BATTLESHIP.
THE RENOWN BATTLESHIP. The construction of the hull of the new battleship Renown is proceeding rapidly at Pembroke, so that she almost fills up the shed under which she is being built. Her bottom is to be sheathered with wood and coppered. The Renown is somewhat smaller than the Royal Sovereign class, being only 12,350 tons against the 14,150 tons, but her natural draught engine-power is 10,000 against 9,000.

• ! JABEZ BALFOUR.
• JABEZ BALFOUR. Ex-National Foreign Minister Senor Ortis is formulating Jabez Balfour's claim for immediate release. He bases his contention on Article 10 of the treaty, which stipulates for liberation thirty days after arrest. The period having expired, 'he urges that the prisoner must be liberated. He also bases his claim on Article 18 of the National Con- stitution. His lawyer is preparing a formal claim for instant freedom, which will be pre- I sented to the court at once. It is thought by many that the judge will probably accede to the request later. Meanwhile Jabez Balfour, though still in custody, has not been returned to prison*
