NODION NED LLWYD. BRYN PYDEW. Nos Iau diweddaf yr oedd yma gyiigherdd rhagiorol yn cael ei gyntnal ar amgylchiad dydd- orol. Yr oedd mab bychan Mr a Mrs W. S. Wilr liams, Shop Newydd, yn flwydd oed, ac er dathlu y dydd, yr oedd y teulu caredig wedi ymgymeryd a rhoddi te parti i blant y Lie yn y prydinawrh, ac hefyd wedi yimgymeryd a'r holl draul gyda'r cyngherdd, a chyfiwyno yr elw at yr achos yn y lie, Clywais fod eich gohebydd Vigilant yn y wledd a'r cyngherdd, a thebyg ydyw y bydd ganddo ef adroddiad llawn. Na- turiol ydyw credu fod yr eglwys yn teimlo yn ddiolchgar iawn. BECHGYN DIREIDUS. Un bore yn ddiweddar yr oedd nifer o wasan- aethyddion masnachdy yn C- wedi llwyddo i ddal llygoden fawr-mewn, trap. A beth dybiech chwi wnaethant? Cymmyd trafferth i'w lapio yn ofalrus mewn papuir llwyd, a'i wneud yn baroel trefnus. Wedi hynny, pan gaed cyfle, aeth un. o honynt ag ef allan i'r heol. Yn y man., pwy ddaeth heibio ond y brawd R- E-. Gwelodd y parcel ar lawtr, edrychodd o gwmpas, a phan welodd nad oedd neb yn sylwi, cododd ef i fyny, a rhoddiodd ef o dan ei got ac aeth tua chartref. ir oedd rhai o'r bechgyn yn gweled y cwbl, ac -a, chwerthin yn braf wrth feddwl y siomedigaeth oedd yn aros R- E pan yn agor y parcel. Druan o hono! Yr oedd yn tybio ei fod yn ffotms, ond cafodd el siomi. Peidiwch a bod yn rhy barod i godi dim oddiar lawr pan yn myned heibio y masnachdy lie y mae y bechgyn hyn. YR HOSANNAU. Da iawn ydyw cael rhai y tywydd oer yma, a'u cael heb dyllau ynddynt. Dywed" Huw ei fod yn myned gartref o'r capel dydd Sul, ac yn oerdded o'i fiaeri yr oedd merch ieuanc drws- iadus a balch yr olwig ond sylwodd fod tyllau cymaint a banner coron yn sodlau ei hosannau ac y mae yn dymuno amaf fi roddi gwers iddi. Cyn y galliaf wneud hyn, rhaid i mi yn gyntaf gael gwybod pwy oedd hi, ac os ydyw yn meddwl i mi roddi gwers iddi ar drwsio "Sofia, mae yn ddrwg gennyf ddweyd nas gallaf. Ar- wydd o esgeulustra poenus ydyw gweled merched yn oerdded a thyllau yn eu hosannau, a rhyfedd iawn oedd i hon fod felly. Dichon y bydd rhyw gyfeiriad byrr fol hyn yn ddigon i foddloni Huw," ac hefyd yn foddion i'r merched fod yn fwy gofalus. LLE MAE'R DIFFYG? Yn y dyddiau a'r misoedd diweddaf yr ydym wedi darllen am amryw o lofrudcliaethau wedi cynietyd lie—dynion a merched yn colli eu bywydau, a'r llofruddwyr eto heb ei dal. Ac mae yn ddifrifol meddwl fod amgylchiadau fel hyn y-n, amlhau, a pheryglus ydyw- y cymerir mantais i gyflawni eraill. Rhaid nad ydyw yr heddgeidwaid a'r cudd-swyddogion yn feddian- nol ar y cymhwysterau hanfodol i'w swyddi. Mae y syniad fod llofruddiaethau fel hyn yn cymeryd lie mor ami, a neb yn cael eu dal, yn dangos diffyg yn rhywle, yn sicr. Mae dyrch- aifi-ad yn aros y sawl fedr ddangos gallu i lwyddo mewn amgylchiadau fel hyn. Yr ydym yn dar- llen, weithiau, am waith rhai o'r cudd-swyddog- ion yma yn gwneud gwrhydri, trwy ddal llad- ron; ond y mae llofruddion yn gallu lilwyddo i ddianc mewn gwlad yn ogystal ac yn y dref. YN Y JUNCTION. Y roeddwn wedi medldlwl galw i welled Hugh Jones a'i briod yma y dydd o'r blaen; ond hys- byswyd fi fod yddau wedi myned i'r cyngherdd ym Mhryn Pydew, a bod Davies, y plisman, ynitau hefyd wedi myned i'r un lie. Rihyfedd oedd fod y lie yn ymd dangos yn wag i mi wedi colli rhai mor amlwg. Yr oedd un yn awgrymai fod Hugh Jones wedi myned yno er mwyn i bobl i Bryn ddyiod i'w cyngherdd, hwythau yn y Junc- tion. Amheuwn i ddim nad hyn ydyw y gwir, er fod rheswm arall. Onid un oddiynxna ydyw ei briod? Felly, yr oedd yn naturiol iddi fpied yno, i'r te parti a'r cyngherdd, er mwyn yr amser gynt.—Cyfarfod pregetihu rhagorol gafodd y Bedyddwyr yma. yr wythnos ddiweddaf. Mae y Parch. D. Lloyd, Caergybi, yn frawd sydd yn tedthio llawer i brif gyfarfodydd yr enwad er hynny, mae ym weithiwr rhagorol gartref, ac yn anwyl iawtn gan bobl ei ofal. Mae Mr William Lewis, y guard adnabyddus, yn meddwl nad .es: neb tebyg i Mr Lloyd. Os ydych yn amheu hyn, gofynwch idido. pan fydd yn y Junction yna y tro nesaf. Ac fel 301a y dylai fod, hefyd, pawb i feddwl yn uchel am ei weinidog. Mae lie i ofni nad ydyw felly ymihob man. Mae ambell i aelod nuewn. eglwys yn ei waith yn rhedeg i lawr v gweinidog, a dywed fod, pob eglwys yn fwy ffodus na hwy. Camgymeriad ydyw hyn, ac nid ydyw y sawl a wrna yn was da a flydidlawrn." Byddaf yn wasted yn edmygu rhai o nodwedd William Lewis, rhai fydd yn cario syniad,au ucihel a pbarchus am eu gweinidogion, rhai fydd yn gofalu dweyd yn dda am dianynt, ac am eu llafur ymhob cylch. DYFODOL CYMRU. Clywais mae hyn oedd tesrtyn anerchiad gan y Parch. Hopkins, Llanbedr, yn y Junction, a bod sylwadau caredig wedi eu gwne/ud ar gyn- nwys y papur gan amryw o'r gweinidogion oedd yn bresennol. Tÿbed a oedd Mr Hopkins yn gallu dweyd rhvwbeth am ddyfodol y gwaith newydd yn Dolgarrog? Byddai dyfodo.1 Dyffryn Conwy yn llawer mwy disglaer pe yr elai y gwaith hwn vmlaen. Treiwch chwi, frawd, ac Owain Rhun a'i frodyr arfer each dylanwad i ail- ddiechreu y gwaith. Yn siwr y cewch help y gpif yna i daro vr ergyd adref. Byddai newydd wadd ar y cylch y-na pe byddiélJi yr' olwynion yn dechreu troi. Hyderaf na raid aros yn hir. DIM OND DAU. Tybed fod pwyllgor Eisteddfod Colwyn Bay vn bwriadu lladd Llew Tegid a Llifon? Y ddau hyn sydd wedi eu dewis ganddynt i arwain. Prin y credaf y boddlonir ar ddim ond dau. Wrth gwrs, credaf fod y ddau hyn y ddsau oreu ellid gael; ond yn. sicr, gormod gwaith fydd iddynt i ddal ati am bedwar diwrnod. Mae codi dim ond dau yn siomiant mawr i rai eraill oedd yn awyddus am y swvdd. Dichon y gwel y pwyll- gor eto y byddai yn well cael un arall atynt. Os felly, tebvg ydyw mae Uin o. wyx y De a fydd hwnnw, gan fod y ddau hyn o'r Gogledd. Mae eisoes rai yn cwyno nad ydyw lle'r babell mo'r lie goreu ellid gael. Beth bynnag am hymny, dvma He bydd hi. Sym.uda'r pwyllgor ymlaen yn araf a gofalus, a phan y daw dyddiau'r Eis- teddfod ceir gweled eu bod wedi gwneud gwaith mawr. Mae pob Eisteddfodwr yn falch iawn fod y Brenin Edward wedi gwel'd yn dda i roddi urdd Marchog i Mr E. Vincent Evans. Yng Ngholwyn Bay oeir cyfle, ddyddiau yr Eistedd- fod, i liongyfarch. Syr E. Vincent Evans. Mawr ydyw ei ffyddlondeb ef wedi bod i'r Eisteddfod, a phob peth Cymreig ar hyd y blynyddoedd. Dichon. y daw yr anrhvdedd i Searchlight a mdnnau rhyw ddydd a ddaw. Yr ydym yn dal i ddisgwyl. DYLANWAD ESIAMPL. Dyma vr englyn a geisia "P. J."

Local Solicitor's Affairs. At Bangor County Court on Monday, on the application, of Mr. To-seph Lloyd, the Official Receiver not objecting, Judge Moss sanctioned a composition offered by Mr. Crabbe, solicitor, Abergele, for the payment of all preferential creditors in full, andi 10s. in the pound-to all unsecured creditors. The Official Receiver said that in view of the verdict of the jury in the recent assize trial he must, and did, withdraw all the charges of misdemeanour he had pre- ferred against Mr. Crabbe in. his report.

I Dolgarrog Works. I Aluminium Corporation. I The New Scheme of Arrangement Approved. Pursuant to directions of Mr Registrar Hood, meetings of the unsecured creditors whose claims amount to over /TO, of the holders of Partici- pating Preferenc.e shares, and of the holders of i Ordinary shares of the Aluminium Corporation, Ltd. (in liquidation), were held at Winchester House to consider and, if thought fit, to, pass the following resolution — That the liquidators be and they are here- by authorised to. consent to the registration of a new company to be named. the Aluminium Corporation, Ltd., with a memorandum and articles of association which have already been prepared with the privity and approval of the liquidators and that the scheme of arrange- ment with draft agreement scheduled thereto and expressed to be made between this com- pany and its liquidators) of the one part and the Aluminium Corporation, Ltd. (new com- pany), of the other part and submitted, to this meeting ba and the same is hereby approved and that the said liquidators be and they are hereby authorised to enter into an agreement with such new. company (when incorporated) in the terms of the said draft and tü carry the same into effect with such (if any) modifica- tions as they think expedient." Mr Robertson Lawson (joint liquidator with Mr A. H. Gib-son) presided1 over each of the meetingsi. The Chairman said that on the schiemet which was passed! at the meeting- held on 27th April last the shareholders came, forward to the extent of Z40,000, whilst Debentures were promised under the scheme to the amount of only ^.10,000. Every ende-avour was made toi get these amounts increased, but it became obvious that the scheme would have to be amended, whilst at the same time it would be useless to, submit any further scheme for approval unless it could be stated de- finitely that THE CASH REQUIRED to carry through the new scheme would be forth- coming. After several months of anxious nego- tiations the liquidators were able tio frame a fresh scheme under which the necessary money could be found. He dlid mot think that he needed to point out the differences between the two schemes, as they were apparent from the printed copies in their hands. The main! point was whether they were prepared to accept Seven peir Cent. Preference shares to the full amount of their claims as finally admitted on the lines laid down in the scheme. The proposed Deben- ture issue had been reduced from £100,000 to £$0,000, and, therefore, if they accepted the shares they would, he ventured to say, be in a much better position than at present, for as creditors lhey had in front of them: preferential claims and the cost of liquidation, &c., amount- ing to-, say, ^45,000 in a company which was complicated by numerous legal difficulties and which had not any branch of its business in working order. Further, they would have the benefit of the new cash which was being put up by the shareholders alongside the same shares as the creditors were being offered-that was, they were offered, Seven per Cent. Preference shares, which were! valued by certain of the Preference shareholdiers at par, they paying sovereigns for their shares, while the creditors obtained theirs for the amount of their debts. POSITION UNDER THE SCHEME. Assuming, therefore, for a moment that the scheme was carried, the position in the course of a few months should be that they would ha;ve the bauxite mines in France equipped with the necessary facilities for loading bauxite on the railway, making them a self-contained working property. They would have the bauxite works at Heibburn-on-Tyne completed and .selling alu- mina., which would naturally make the shares of that company a liquid asset of considerable value. The Foil agreement would have been settled, the small plant erected1 and the shares of the Foil Oomptany made into another liquid asset. The necessary work tOo enable the com- pany to use the Dolgarrog water power, together with the payment of the uncompleted purchases of wate rrights on the Dulyn. scheme, would have been completed, and DoHgarrog would be a com- pact works complete in itself. The carbon works would have been put in working condition and I made a. valuable unit, while the serious difficul- ties in connection with the metallurgical works at Wal-lse-nd would also have been solvedL An additional point in their favour was that since the April scheme was issued,, the price of all,- minium had materially increased, which wa.s, of course, entirely in favour of the porpos-ed new company. Some criticism had been offered on the terms upon- which the Debentures, had been tentatively arranged, but he must point out that, though:' a portion of these had been taken IIp by shareholders and creditors, a oonsideraJbJe bal- ance had to be placed elsewhere. As this money was essential to the success of the scheme, he thought it would be admitted that those provid- ing it had the right to state the terms upon which they were prepared to help the company. If the creditors and the share-holders accepted the scheme arrangements for placing the whole ot the Debentures had been made. After announc- ing that he had received a letter from' Mr Tait withdrawing his offer, to Mr Hawkins, referred to in the circular of 29th October, he said that the total amount of the claims lodged was /r9! 480, but if the scheme went through he thought they coiuld safely cou-H't ^on at least ^80,524 of that amount being withdrawn., and it would also be possible, he "thought, to reduce the claims by, say, another £ 7,5°° to ^8,000, so that, as far as they could judge at present, the claims with which they would have to deal would amount to about £ 103480. ,He explained the position which would have arisen if Mr Teat's offer, had been accepted, remarking that, as a result, the dividend which the creditors would have been likely to receive could only have been from 3s. to 5'" in the £ if so much, and that after many months' delay. If they passed the scheme the liquidators would apply to the Court for confirmation and lose not time in carrying out the details. Proxies had been lodged in, favour of the scheme by creditors claiming to represent £ 135,000. On the other hand, if they did not p,a.9s the scheme he thought they must face a very serious position indeed, because, although Mr Tait"s offer had been with- drawn, the Receiver would be in the posiition- as he, indeed, had been all along-of taking steps to sell the Whole of the property for what it would fetch, and at this hour of the day it was certainly not possible to contemplate any other scheme for preserving the assets to them. I THE NORTH WALES POWER COMPANY'S CLAIM. CON Mr Scott raoved the resolution authorising the liquidators to consent to the registration of a new comply and a.p.pToving the scheme .of air- rangement- Mr Humphreys asked if he understood the ChairmaJl to say that all outstanding claims were settled, assuming that the scheme was carried? The Chairman: Practically, yes. Mr Humphreys supposed that the Chairman had i:IJJ mind. that the claim of the North Wales Power Company "wis unsettled. The Chairrntan replied that they had that in vieW, and he added that no formal claim had been lodged. Mr Humphreys.: Quite so. Notwithstanding thati you are aware that we have a claim, and a- llrge claim, too? The Chairman said that they were not pre- pared to admit a large claim, but they were Prepared to deal with it if the scheme went thro/ugh. Mr Humphreys remarked that the North Wales Power Company had a claim which would .amount to not less than. £ 25,000. The Chairman said that until the claim was lodged they could not deal with it. At that meeting it was, he thought, inopportune to dis- cuss the amount of the claim, and the view that the liquidators might take in the ulaimate settle- ment of it. At present the North Wales Power Company had lodged no claim, and that was the position-, so. far as this meeting was concerned. On a show of hands being taken, the Chair- man announced that the resolution was carried' by the necessary majority in number and value. (Cheers.) He remarked that the only vote agai,nst it was that of the Noith Wales Power Company, whose ciaJm had not yet been lodged:.

THE WERNHER-BEIT OFFER. An extra-ordinary general meeting of the hold- ers of Participating' Preference shares was then held. The Chairman said that just when the liqui- dators had completed the arrangements for the issue of the scheme to them they received an offer from Mr A. W. Tait, the Receiver for the British Aluminium Corporation, on behalf of Messrs Wernher-Eeit & Co., and the executors of the late Mr Charles Morrision, to purchase the whole of the company's assets for 680,0o0. That offer was contingent on its acceptance within a month and subject to an examination by the offerers' engineer. He communicated with Mr Tait, informing him that he should place his offer before the parties interested al: the earliest opportunity, and that, pending such opportunity, they considered it. better that the inspection should be delayed. Notwithstanding this ,the liquidators were served with notice of a summons at the instance of the Receiver in this company, Mr Hawkins, asking the Court to authorise the acceptance by him of an offer evi- dently in similar terms to that which was ad- dr,essed to them,, and that he should be author- ised on Wednesday, 3rd November, to accept the offer. Considering that they, as liquidators, had a monith in which to accept or reject that offer and that it was physically impossible to arrange for any meetings to take place before that day, they decided to oppose Mr Hawkins's summons and to ask the Court at least to ad- journ consideration of the same until after these meetings toox place. On hearing the facts the Master crdered the further heraring of the sum- mons to be adjourned until next Tuesday. That morning he received a letter from Mr Tait, with- drawing his offer. From an ordinary business point of view it was reasonable to assume that if the whole of the assests of the Aluminium Cor- poration were good enough for their rivals to offer £ 80,000 for their acquisition, they ought to be worth a good deal more to. both the creditors and shareholders. He need hardly point out what the effect would have: been to them as shareholders had Mr Tait's offer been agreed to. It would simply have meant that the whole of the Preference and Ordinary capital would have been wiped out of existence, and that even the creditors would, have had to accept a small divid- end in cash, for the Preference claims amounted to, £ 35>000> and by the time several extremely difficult questions with several large creditors could be s,ettled-apart from the arrangements come to under the scheme which they were called upon to consider that day—the claims to be dealt with would undoubtedly amount to a very much larger sum than that with which they expected to deal under the present scheme— namely, £ 100,000 to ,rlio,ooo. Mr W. C. Stennett proposed a resolution auth- orising the registration of the new company and approving the scheme of arrangement. Mr W. Mills seconded, the resolution. Sir Alfred Dent asked by whom the Deben- tures were held. The Chairman said that they were held by a bank. It was a private issue. He added that proxies representing £ 137,000 had been received in favour of the scheme. The resolution was carried unanimously. At an extra-ordinary general meeting of the Ordinary shareholders, which was afterwards held, a similar resolution was unanimously car- ried on the motion of Mr Edward Manville, seconded by Mr F. FaJthfull. Begg.

Colwyn Bay Amateur Operatic Society. A nublic meeting to form a local Operatic Society was held on Thursday evening at the Grosvenor Cafe, Penrhyn-road, Colwyn Bay. The attendance, composed mainly of those who took part in the recent comic opera, was a fair one. Mr. D. Llewelyn Jones, who was voted to the chair, in opening the meeting said that Miss Thomas, whom they all thanked for her efforts in the past, had intimated that she could not undertake the production of another opera so sooni after the last. There was a keen desire among the members of the company that an opera should be produced in the spring, and it seemed a pity the talent that existed in the town should go. to. waste. (Hear, hear.) The feeling locally was most, certainly in favour of the venture, and accordingly it was proposed that a Society should be formed and the matter taken, in hand without delay. (Applause.) But for the fact that there had been a loss on pre- vious operatas, there would have been a surplus of over £37 as a result of the production of the Yeomen of the Guard," so financial success was assured. With the affairs carefully managed by the Society, there should be no difficulty in making a profit of at least £ 50 a year to dis- tribute among local charities. (Hear, hear.) It was unanimously resolved that a Society be formed, to be known as The Colwyn Bay Operatic and Dramatic Society." ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Mr. F. V. Burgess, Hon. Secretary (pro tem), announced that Miss Thomas had written ex- pressing regret that her arrangements would not permit her to be present at the meeting. Mr. F. V. Burgess was elected Hon. Secretary, and Mr. Richard Williams, Metropolitan Bank, Hon. Treasuret. After a discusgioii), it was decided that the Committee should consist of five members, with power to add three to their number. Eleven names were oropoised, but as Miss Crowther asked to be excused from serving, the remaining ten names were put before the meeting, and as a result of a ballot the following were declared elected: -Mrs. Bruce, Miss Elsie Mervyn-Wood, Mr. D. Llewelyn Jones, Mr. J. W. Holden, and Mr. Herber Greenfield.. It was decided to' fix the.- annual subscription at five shillings, music, costumes, and all other expenses to be met by the Society. Patrons will be welcomed at a minimum subscription of half a guinea, and honorary members (subscription five shillings, and over) will be allotted one lounge ticket for every five shillings they sub- scribe. The Chairman read an exhaustive list of rules, which- were approved of by the meeting, and a discussion arose as to the scene of the produc- tion. Eventually, the Committee were instructed to open negotiations with the Victoria Pier Com- pany with a view to the Pavilion being engaged for that purpose. Several- names were mentioned in connection with the post of musical director, and emphasis was laid on the fact that the gentleman selected to conduct the rehearsals will also conduct the performance. This matter, as also that of choice of opera and overtures with Mr. Thornley Dodge, was left to the Com- mittee, who will report to the Society at a meeting to be held this evening (Thursday) at the same time and place. Votes of thiainks to the Chairman and the Press brought the meeting to a close. The name of Mrs. jordtan was handed in as that of the first patron, and several subscriptions were re- ceived by the Secretary.
