TIN-PLATE WORKERS' UNION. THE RECENT AUDIT. ADDRESSES BY THE PRESIDENT AND TREASURER. On Saturday, a delegate meeting of the works comprised in the Eastern district was held at the Assembly Rooms of the Foresters' Arms, Blaina. Mr. Joseph Stafford, the chairman of the dis- trict, presided. The election of officers for the ensuing 12 months resulted as follows :—Chair- man, Mr. Joseph Stafford, Panteg, re-elected vice-chairman, Mr. George Freeman, Lydney secretary, Mr. Sydney Jones, Melingriffith trea- surer, Mr. "William Freeman, Melingriffith. A public meeting was held in the evening, when there was a large attendance. Despite recent revelations, the proceedings were characterised by the utmost unanimity and enthusiasm, a most hopeful view being taken of the situation. Mr. J. Stafford, Panteg. who presided, was supported by Mr T. Benjamin, president, Abercarn Mr. W. E. Thomas, general treasurer, Treforest; and several other prominent officials. The Chairman, in commencing the proceed- ings, said that in looking round that evening he felt very lonely. He had felt very lonely for some few weeks past, and that evening he felt more lonely than ever, for they were without the presence of their friend Lewis Richards. He was sure they all felt sorry that he was not able to bo in their midst. He felt more sorry still that they had not their departed friend Powell with them that evening. It was two years since he (the speaker) commenced office in connection with the union, and during the two years Powell had only failed to attend one meeting. How- ever, they were pleased to think that their friend had gone from his work to his reward, to a land where tnere was no talk about balance-sheets or strikes, and where they hoped to meet him by- yui-bye. He hoped they would remember their departed friend's advice, and that they would continue to work for the noble cause of union." ?Heiu\ hear.) He (the speaker) thought, when fcbcy were at Lydney two months ago, that at Biamii he should finish his connection with the union as district officer. n was at Blaina that he commenced, and he thought that at Blaina he should finish but that evening it was otherwise. for he had been eke Led president of the district for another twelve months. They had met under rather unfavourable circumstances. He need not tell them anything about their circum- atances. He was sure they were all Unionists, and had the cause of union at heart. The topic of the day v. as with regard to the balance-sheet. Let them adopt the language they had seen in the Industrial Times that week. They were there told to stand shoulder to shoulder, for if ever there was a need that men in the tinplate trade should be united, it is to-day." They had fought battles before many a time; they had fought many a battle during the two years they had been district officers, and he was pleased to say that they had come out of every one victorious. (Hear, hear.) Even if the £700 was lost, they had gained double that much. But he hoped and prayed it was not lost. He believed they should hear talk of it at some future day. He did not believe for a moment that one penny of the money had been robbed. He believed the money was safe enough. The mistake they had made was in not having proper men to look after the books. He was sure all in the room would sympathise and agree with him when he said that their union had grown too fast—so fast that the men put in office three or four years ago, though then able to discharge their duty, had noi been able of late to cope with their work. Men going home after a hard day's work could; not keep books and check accounts the same as men who had nothing else to do. It was possible there had been a mistake but whatever the mistake had been, he hoped it would not be the means of driving them out of the union, but it should have the effect of making them strive and work harmoniously together. YV hen. their friend Stephens she,wed it_ to him, he could hardly sleep on Thursday night through think- ing of the balance-sheet; but he said now, from the bottom of his heart, that though all the money had gone they should not be discouraged. What had Happened in the past should not daunt them, but should be a lesson to them for the future. There was a lot to be done, not only by the exe- cutive members and district officers, but by the rank and tile as well. They were told that they were floaiing in a sinking ship, but they did not believe it and even if that was the case, they bad power to raise it again. Let them do their part like men, and do the best they could in the interest of their wives and families. He again urged them to be united, and as they had carried everything before them in the past, so they • would carry everything before them, in the future. (Cheers.) < Mr. John Rowlands, Panteg, who next ad- dressed the meeting, said—that the Union had done noble work there, which no sane person could deny. They, as the rank and file of the Union, weia ever ready to point to some little neglect on the part of the officials. It was true that there had been great neglect of duty on the mrt of their secretary and their treasurer; but that bad been a capital lever by which many had to work not to pay their quota to the Union. He was sorry that such a state of affairs had existed, but'they were not without hope. There was a saying that there was no cloud but had its silver lining. He once read a piece of poetry which described Hope as the friend of human nature." Had it not been for hope, they might 30on have died in despair and although the discrepancy had in, let it but stimulate them to do their duty better in the future than they had dose it in the past. (Hear, hear.) The Union was not composed of Thomas Phillips, Thomas Benjamin, or others; but it was com- posed of them all. (Hear, hear.) If Thomas Phillips, William Thomas, or any other officer violated the rules, it was their province to see that they did their duty. They should not shrink from their duty and leave others in the lurch to do as they pleased. He would say, let them have courage, because if they allowed the Union "io drop they might depend upon it that they rue the day. (Hear, hear.) Let them how much trouble and how much expense it had taken to build their Union up to its pre- sent state. If they let it fall now, they must have a Union again, and it would take that trouble and expense to raise it again. Let them take the advantages they had gained through the Union in its present crippled state, and con- sider how much more they would gain by having it in a proper state, and thoroughly united. They, as the rank and file, had to do their duty as well as the officers. They were grumbling of course and he grumbled too, at the loss of the £100. But that had to be accounted for yet. In the days of non-unionism now much had they lost ? That was the question. So much n per cent. for a few years, so many sheets to the box for a few years, and so on. He maintained this, that they must do their duty and take courage for the future, for, in the words of Shakespeare, it was better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that they knew not of." (Hear, hear.) Let the events of the past stimulate them to more energy in the future. Let them be men to themselves" to their fellow-men, and to the trade. (Applause.) Mr. Rees Stephens, Panteg, said he could pro- mise that be would not detain them at any length that evening—this for many reasons, and for one in pai licular, being the loss he felt in connection with the departure of their friend Powell. He could not help remar that evening that they had missed their friend already. It had been his (the speaker's) lot to be a district officer ever since their district had been formed, and his connection with Fie office terminated that day. It had been his lo* during his three years of office to attend every meeting with the exception of one. and that was at Blaina some 1 months ago, and out of all those meet- ings Powell had only been absent once. When- ever he had occasion to write .to him, whenever he was asked to attend a meeting, it did not matter what inconvenience he put himself to, their friend was always at their service. And he thought there were traits in the character of their departed friend which it would be well for them to emulate. He 90U picture in him the true type of a Christian man. He not only lived for himself, but he lived for others and he hoped the watchword of their departed friend would be the watchword of many ip. the room that evening. Whenever he stood up to address an audience he would say, "Boys, be loyal;' and he (the speaker) would adopt the same watchword, and say to them that evening Friends, be loyal." They had greater need of loyalty in the future than they had had in the past. Though they had been grumbling and seemed to be watching for faults in their officers, they must bear in mind that their officers were only working men, and could not manipulate figures as those who were paid for it. They had been criticised by the Western Mail and other papers, but he did not believe their officers de- served the censure which had been heaped upon them. The men themselves were ready to find fault, but many of them did not notice the benefits they had gained through the union. Their officers had sacrificed time and trouble in order to give attention to the adjustment of disputes and to building up the society, so that now they reaped a large percentage upon their former rate of wages. He could well remember the time, before the formation of the union, when a different state of things prevailed—when they were giving their shilling a week for dif- ferent objects. He gave it himself at Pontymoil. Then they had no union to fall back upon, and no place of refugo to ily to. To-day they had a Union, and if they only stood shoulder to shoulder they should get out of the difficulty, and it would be a stimulus to them for the future, enabling them to rectify those errors which had crept in in. the past. There were many things which wanted revising in their rules, which were inadequate to meet the de- mands of the present, and the sooner the better they went in for revision. One thing had struck him very much in connection with their de- parted friend, Powell, Tiiey knew how he had worked. But now he had gone he was lying in the graveyard close by but his family were not one iota the better for his labours. He said they should make some provision for the widows and families of unionists. (Applause.) He had had one thing in his mind. He had thought of it for a long time, but since the death of their friend Powell he had seen the need of it to be greater than ever. Now that their friend had passed away, was his family to be dependent upon charity ? One had said. Alas for the rarity of Christian charity under the sun." It was a very poor thing to succour them in time of trouble and he hoped that something would be done to shew their appreciation of their friend's services, in the direction of succouring and helping the orphans he had left behind. (Cheers.) Turning to another toc, he said the long-expected balance-sheet had a* last been made public. He would not deal with it at any length himself ^as they had their treasurer there. The item £ ¿03 seemed a large one., but he was informed that their treasurer hadr something like £ 150 he could account for, which would make a large de- duction, and he had no doubt, that before long the mystery would be cleared up, and that they would find their officers to be conscientious, straightforward, and thoroughly honest working men. If there was a discrepancy, if there had been errors in the past, they must try to rectify. them, for, as far as their wages were concerned, they could not live without their Union any more than they could fly. In conclusion, he begged to move the following resolution :— That this meeting is pleased to find the audit has finished; and though the result is not satis- factory, yet we will not despond, but persevere onward to improve from past experiences our UnionTand to make it a greater success than ever." (Cheers.) Mr. David Thomas, Biaina, seconded, remark- ing that if, in connection with the balance-sheet, there was blame attached t > their executive mem- bers, there was as much blame or more due to the raak and file. Their officers were only work- ing men like themselves, and they could not expect them to be perfect in the use of pen and ink. Although there was a good audience pre- sent that evening, there was one thing quite evi- dent, and that was, that they as working men in Monmouthshire were behind their fellow work- ing men in other places as regarded the sheetage question—(hear, hear)—and he believed he was in a position to state that there was nothing but united action which would lead them to victory. Hef was sorrv to say that unanimity of feeling did not exist between Capt. Phillips's workmen. They kept too far from one another. He be- lieved the question would have to be settled, and that only Capt. Phillips and the Tynewydd work- men were behind in the sheetage matter. They did not want to fight, but when once they made did not want to fight, but when once they made up their IÍrinds to that course they would rge- véie uBtil the victory was gained. (Hear, hear.) If Capt. Phillips said he would not pay them, they must come to the conclusion to make him pay the sheetage. (Applause.) They were pre- pared to fight him to-day, and they were in such a noeition that they needed not to look to anybody i >r help. Let them be loyal to one another, and ;■ jisitone another to further the noble cause of unionism. Their position was not what it ought to be, and, another thing, it was not what it ought to be if they were true to the principle of unionism In the Book of Nehemiah they were told that Nehemiah and his men went to build the walls of Jerusalem, Everyone did his work. That was what he (the speaker) wanted. He winded them all to do what they could to further the noble cause of unionism. They could not all be president?,, secretaries, or treasurers, but they could all do something. He desired to add a word with respect to their departed friend Powell, whom he first met at Morriston, since which time he had always considered him an upright, hard-working member in.the cause of unionism, and now that he had gone, from his work to his reward, he (the speaker) was sure they would all do what they could for the sup- port of his widow and children. (Hear, hear.) He nad great pleasure in seconding the resolu- tion. (Cheers.) On being submitted to the meeting, the resolu- tion was carried unanimously, amid applause. Mr. W. E. Thomas, Treforest, the general treasurer of the Pnion, next addressed the meet- ing. He said he nad comer to Blaina that evening although he was not bound to do so. Un- doubtedly a good many thought he should not make his appearance there after the balance- sheet had appeared in the Western Mail, but nevertheless a man with an honest conviction could go where he liked. (Hear, hear.) Although the balance-sheet had shewn that there was a good item to be accounted for, he could at once account for nearly JE150, and probably when he got his books back home he should be able to account for more. He did not mean to say that there was anything wrong with the auditor but what he meant was, that when he got the books back home and got his own time, ne might be able to detect something which had so far escaped attention. Of course it was at the council meeting that they would have to give an account of themselves, and all he could say was that he was not ashamed of himself. (Hear, hear.) There were a good many who said they should have done this, that, and the other, and perhaps they should, but their friends forgot one thing, and that was that they had never had sufficient time to do many things. They must remember that they had been very busily engaged in connection with trade disputes and going about addressing meetings here and there, which called off their attention from the heavy burden of work which they had to bear. They knew when he was appointed he had the Union funds to keep, and after a time the exe- cutive asked him to take charge of the relief fund as well, and imtay in the room could bear him out that it was the keeping of the two sets of accounts which had brought him into that crisis. There was a great many who would say there ought to be reform. He thoroughly believed that, and would have gone in for reform, but they had to remember that their wages had been at stake in many places. There were many disputes with which they had had to deal, and what had been the result ? They had come out of them victorious. They had come out of them in that way by paying all their attention to them. Perhaps some would say that they had thus neglected their duty. He did not exactly take that view of it. He did not say they had neglected their duty, but they mid undoubtedly had an overburden of work, He would take that version of it, but as for negligence, he had never to his knowledge neglected his duty, but had done all in his pewer to carry it out straightforwardly. (Hear, hear.) Even if £ 560 had been lost, he said they had gained considerably morp than that in wages since the formation of the Union. But the money was not lost. He was positive of it. The money was there, only it was muddled, up in some way in the accounts. The difficulty^ was to find it out, but he'hoped to live to see the matter cleared up. (Applause.) It was said that the darkest hour was just before the dawn, and so it would prove in this case. He was raising a family, and did not want to pass away with that slander attaching to him. He wanted to lead hjs children in the path of duty, and intended v uKuig in that path himself. That a mistake .vd taken place ne admitted, but that there was a uy thing criminally wrong he would never admit. He was not there is a criminal, and only admitted that a mistake had been made. After stating that he had entered into an important appointment, but that he did not intend to sever his connection with the Union, the speaker intimated his intention of doing ail he could for any fund which might be formed for the benefit of the widow and children of the late Mr. Powell, and concluded amid applause. Mr. T. Benjamin, the President of the Union, J said he had appeared before them at Blaina on many occasions, but never needed their sympathy so much as that evening. Four years ago they went forth into the trade, in connection with which there were many inequalities in the wage rate, for the purpose of building up an organisas tion for the protection of their interests. Of these who started with them only one was present in that room, Mr Norwood, of Nantygloi Mr. Haymond, he was pleased to find, had gone to his rest without dying, but their friend Powell had gone to his rest by dying. Then again their friend Richards was still confined to his house through illness, so that if ever he needed the sympathy of a meet- ing in speaking on the subject of their organisa- tion, it was that evening. He had attended ni»ny district meetings, and did not think he had attended one at which their friend Powell was not present; and having regard to what had taken place of late, he was almost inclined to think that their departed friend had had the best of the bargain. Coming to the point of the meeting, which he took to be the balance-sheet, there had been much conjecture about it, and there had been great, expectation in the trade for months with reference-to it, and now that it had come out he was surest wasany thing but satisfactory. But, as men, before they con- demned another, they should inquire intelligently into all the factors that represented the un»'. counted balance, He thought they WQB1<J according to the auditor's report, that their system was a very complicated and faulty one, and he attributed the discrepancy to the system which had been in vogue. He was only speaking to that gentleman that morning, and he said— but of course what he said in conversation was neither here nor there, and they had better abide by what he said in his report—but he stated that he was distinctly of opinion that there was nothing which might be called criminal in con nection with their accounts. It was more dis- crepancy than dishonesty. If they considered the system under which they had been working, and considered, too, that it was the best system which could be devised at the time, it was easy enough now for people to say that it was a raulty system. He reminded him of Columbus when he went forth to discover America. When he came back and explained to his friends that he had discovered America, they said it was simple enough anybody could do that, but they did not say so before. They had plenty of men in the trade to-day who were now as wise as Solomon for reform, but they were as stagnant as water before. (Hear, hear.) ,He said it in all respect that, if they had waited for some men, they would never have had a Union to criticise. (Applause.) They had a Union, and they had an imperfect Union, and he told them candidly he was pleased that it was an imperfect one, for the fact that they had imperfections associated with their Union to-day would stir them up to greater zeal in the future. Take any society or scheme they liked, and they would not find it perfect. What was the meaning of the annual meetings which were held, in connection with the friendly societies, at which they made new laws or rules ? Did it not prove that the systems or societies were not perfect, and that they stood in need of improvement ? And yet to hear some people talk, they would think that their Union ought to be perfect. He said it was a most unreasonable position to take up. He was pleased, as one, to think that improvement was necessary, and that they could stand the improvement of a system which had been faulty, and which had been the cause of the discrepancy. As they had heard, they had two funds, and the bungle had undoubtedly arisen through the endeavour to keep the two funds separate. There was a relief fund which was used for strike purposes, but they knew as well as he did that that fund was inadequate for the purpose,' and that they were bound to pull out of the Union funds in order to carry out a strike. For that they had been very much criticised by some people, but he thought after all the right course had been adopted, for if they had allowed the strike to collapse, they would have had to suffer a redaction in their wages. (Cheers.) Those things would account for much of the dis- crepancy, and though he was not going to justify it it was easy to understand how the mistake had been made. He had been charged with being friendly with the general secretary, but he could not see much sin in that, and defied them to point out during his four years connection with the Union an instance in which he (the speaker) had neglected his duty. (Hear, hear.) He thought the mistake was in making the general secretary also their agent, as he had to go about a great deal in dealing with disputes— though he seldom came to Monmouthshire. More work was put upon him than it was possible for him to do, and in his (the speaker's) opinion the discrepancy had occurred at the out- set and not so much during the last twenty-one months. He had made a calculation from which he found that even though the discrepancy was £700, that amount spread over the last four years would mean an average of Is. 2d., and that he contended was a trifle as compared with the benefits they had received. (Hear, hear.) If they threw up the organisation, they could depend upon it that they or their children would have to turn round and build one again, because as things were at present it was impossible for tin-plate workers to exist without organisation. He did not*, think it was their desire, having regard to the advantages they had gained, to do without, organisation, He hoped that in that crisis they would not lose their heads, but that they would do all in their power to put right that which was wrong. (Cheers.) At this juncture the delegates had to leave cetch a train, and a meeting of the Blaina ron Was subsequently held.

TEMPERANCE & PROJIIBITIOl* NOTES. • (YROM ASPECIAL CORRESPONDENT;) LONDON, SEPT, 1. Lewisham has elected as member of Parlia- ment an out-and-out supporter of the drink traffic. It is true that the most strenuous efforts of the liquor leaders, aided by the ostentatious neutrality of the Church of England Temper- ance Society, have pnly succeeded in electing their candidate by a considerably reduced ma- jority, but the result is for all that disappointing to Temperance reformers. It is not, however, surprising to those who know the constituency and who remember the disadvantage under which the existing registration laws place the masses, who are ever the best friends of Temperance and progress. Mr. Warmington, the defeated candidate, worked hard and well, and certainly deserved success, as did the ener- getic body of Temperance workers who sup- ported him with untiring zeal. Apparently, as much cannot be said for many members of his own party, and lack of party organisation is without doubt in some measure chargeable with the result. One of the most singular features of the Lewisham election was the attitude assumed by the Church of England Temperance Society. No election has ever presented clearer issues for the Temperance party, yet the Church of Eng- land Temperance Society resolved to take no part in the election, and sent round to the news- papers a paragraph advertising that fact. The society did not benefit much by the latter pro- ceeding, for a number of newspapers have pointed out the inconsistency involved. As one Londpn paper has it, the Church of England Temper- ance Society doth protest too much. Consider- ing that the Temperance question has been a prominent issue in the election, and that theoreti- cally the Church of England Temperance Society is supposed to favour stringent legisla- tion against the drink traffic, we cannot under- stand this constant endeavour on the part of the society to give an impression of inertness which must compel outsiders to doubt somewhat the efficiency of the society." Commenting upon the same topic, the London Daily Chronicle contrasts the attitude of the United Kingdom Alliance with that of the C.E.T.S., and says, the attitude of the United Kingdom Alliance is intelligible. Its members regard the drink issue as the one transcendent question, and they vote for that candidate who most clearly agrees with them, apart altogether from his attitude on general politics. The Church of England Temperance Society ap- parently deplores the drink traffic with as much vehemence as does the Alliance, but it does not vote against it with equal persistency. Well, the House of Commons cares for votes, not for talk." What a pity it is that Lord Bramwell cannot be limited in his activities to his judicial place in the House of Lords. There he shines with- out doubt as a sound lawyer—elsewhere he ap- pears to suffer from the infirmity of the country- man who could never open his mouth without putting his foot in it. His Lordship's recantation of his famous statement that to refuse to renew a licence would be an injustice, has not yet fairly gone the round of the papers before he is found, sitting as a licensing justice, delivering the opinion that an increase in drinking facilities will not increase drinking, and laying it down as sound licensing practice that because two grocers in a town sell beer a third is entitled to a licence for the same purpose. Acceptance of these two propositions inevitably leads to free trade in drink, and this is not only wholly opposes to the spirit of the licensing laws but has been tried and found wanting. So has Lord Bramwell time and again, when his pro-drink prejudices obscure his judgment. The brewster sessions are in full swing, and the newspapers bristle with points of interest concerning them. Sharp v. Wakefield has in- deed stimulated interest in the licensing question —encouraged temperance workers to increased agression, and struck fear into the»breast of the liquor sellers. So far no general conclusion can be Teached as to the aggregate results, but it is clear that to a considerable extent the old order of things has passed away—Bung no longer fcdmes before the bench (or does not come as the case may be) as a mere matter of form, to take Ids —licence. Other considerations have now tor be reckoned with, and many a licence which in the former days would have been renewed without question, has, under the better regime, been refused—for tne good of the neighbourhood. In hosts of instances,' while no drastic measuires have this year been adopted, it has been plainly intimated by the justices that they know their power, and mean to exercise it after expira- tion of a period that may be deemed sufficient for purposes of 41 fair notice to all concerned, A practical o$the late International rernperaijofi Coagress held at Christiania, was the 188% of a monthly International Temperance P^^er. The current issue contains an account of the English Habitual Drunkards Act, and describes a somewhat similar system in operation in the Swiss canton of St, Gall. A law was passed for that district in 1890, and it provides that habitual drunkards can be placed in an asylum for periods of from nine to eighteen mpnths. This may be done by voluntary sub- mission, or by direction of the District Council, which is the local authority. In this very im- portant feature the Swiss law is ahead of and vastly superior to the English. The Act may be put in force by a relative of the inebriate, his guardian, by any public body, or on the sole responsibility of the Council; but whoever takes the initiative must have a certificate of the necessity of seclusion from the medical officer of health. Public funds are available in case of I insufficient means, both for the maintenance of ) the inebriate, and that of his family, during the Eeriod of his detention. That would appear to e a perfect plan, if only liquordom were com- pelled to provide the money. Mr. Field Thorpe, of York, gives, in a paper in the British Temperance Advocate, a clear sum- mary of a controversy proceeding in the Inter- national paper, between M. Canderlier, of Brussels (who maintains that distilled spirits only, and not beer and wine, should be attacked by Temperance reformers), and Professor Forel, whose teaching is in entire harmony with that ot pronounced total abstainers in this country. The Belgian doctor goes over the well-worn ground familiar to teetotallers as having been often tra- versed by their opponents. He admits, however, that both in Norway and in England experience shews that total abstinence has succeeded, while all attempts at moderation have failed. Profes- sor Forel sontends that the attempt to prove that there is a fundamental difference between distilled and fermented beverages, as regards their effect on social life, is an error in matter of fact. The general use of beer, wines, and spirits generates an irresistible teadency towards abuse, and the stronger cannot be displaced by the use of the wear, since drinking creates drinking. Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, has per- haps the most noted, or at least notable, Tem- perance society in the world. The Premier of the colony is its president, and its good works are legion. It is of course thoroughly at one with the increasing demand for Temperance legislation, and helps the Local Option polls, which are occurring more and more frequently. But one of its most practical methods looks to the fact that Temperance reform to be perma- nent must be based upon educat;on-of the right sort. Alcohol is a poison, though too few realise how fatal a one. Ordinary education, so far, does not teach the needed truth. Hence the Melbourne Temperance Society, like the Band of Hope Union in this country, seeks to supply the deficiency, '"it holds annual examinations in physiology, and gives prizes to the amount of over £300, with additional special prizes, and the competition is not confined to Melbourne, but is open to the country districts, the candidates being divided into ten classes according to age, and the range extending from little ones under .10 years of age to "adults over 18 years." That is as it should be, for the children of a larger growth need the teaching as much as do the children.

ALARMING ACCIDENTS ON THE RAILWAY. » A PASSENGER KILLED. About eight o'clock on Saturday morning a shocking accident occurred between Whitworth and Facit Stations on the Lancashire and York- shire Railway. A runaway goods train from the queries at Britannia ran into a passenger train bound for Rochdale about 100 yards from the Facit railway station. The crash was • tremendous. Two carriages of the passenger train were smashed, and one of the pas- sengers, Miss Esther Smith, aged, 36, of Cheetham Hill, Faeit; waa killed. Several other passengers were seriously injured, one of them Mr John Sheppard, of Lincoln, a colporteur and missionary of the denomination known as the "New and Latter House of Israel," having hisllft foot cut off, his right leg badly broken, the fracture being compound, one of his arms broken, and several other injuries. He now lies at the Rochdale Infirmary in a pre- carious condition. The line was blocked. for several hours. The driver of the goods train had melbow dislocated and his ribs injured, and the fireman of this train and the guard of the pas- senger train were also badly hurt. I A RAILWAY SERVANT KILLED. On Sunday evening a railway shunter named Edwin was killed at the Brentford Station, on the South Western Railway. It is alleged that he gave a wrong signal to the driver, and the result was a collision, in which the unfortunate man was caught between the engine and the brake van, and crushed to death. Edwin leaves a widow and four children.

THE SUICIDE OF MR. W. B. WATER- LOW. A verdict of suicide whilst in a state of tem- porary insanity was returned at an inquest held with reference to the death of MrW. B.Waterlow, J.P., at the High Trees, Redhill, on Saturday. Evidence was given to show that the deceased did not go to dinner on Friday night, and en- trance to the bedroom was effected by tne means of a ladder at his window. He was found to have shot himselt. His head was in a pool of blood, and the bullet had passed through- his brain, having entered the left temple and come out on the top of his forehead above the right temple. The revolver lay on the floor at his f e6t. Deceased told his vaiet on Friday morning to clean the revolver in case burglars came. He had a horror of burglars, and always kept the revolver loaded in all six chambers. He had been much depressed of late, and suffered from insomnia. ———— —

FOUR PEOPLE KILLED BY A DRUNKEN BEAR. A. strange and terrible accident (says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Dady Chronicle) has just occurred in the- neighbour- hood of Vilna. A few days ago, a large tame bear, which had been trained by the servants or a country gentleman to drink vodky (whisky), entered a village tavern and killed the tavern- keeper and three members of his family in a fit of intoxication. The tragedy was brought about by the owner of the tavern, Isaack Rabbanovitch attempting to snatch from the bear a keg of vodky, which it had commenced to drink after staving it in with its paws. In the conflict that ensued, the infuriated animal hugged to death the tavern-keeper, his two sons, and daughter. When the peasants arrived on the scene with guns, they found the intoxicated animal asleep on the floor, in a pool of blood and vodky, sur- rounded by its four victims. The bear was im- mediately shot.

I NANTYGLO AND BLAINA i LOCAL BOARD. The ordinary monthly meeting of this Board was held on Thursday, the 27th ult., when there were present Mr. John Dakers (chairman), Councillors G. R. Harris and William Parry, Messrs. J. P. D. Williams, Thomas Morgan, W. Parry (contractor), Edwin Griffiths, Jas. Allen, John Alex. Shepard (clerk), George Stevens (surveyor), and R. Williams (collector). .■ FINANCE. Bills to the amount of £ 445 8s. 8d. were passed, and cheques for same were drawn & duly signed. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. TREASURER OF THE BOAED. The Clerk reported that he had had a conver- sation with Mr. Goddard, manager of the Bryn- mawr Branch of the Capital and Counties Bank, who informed him that Mr. Baker, treasurer of the Board, was about resigning his position with the Capital and Counties Bank, and asked the Board to appoint him (Mr. Goddard) to be their future treasurer. Upon the proposition of Mr. Thomas, Mr. Goddard was appointed. NON-PAYMENT OF RATES. Mr. Williams, collector of rates, attended the Board for the first time after his serious illness, and reported that there was about £ 1,300 arrears of the general and district rate yet uncollected. He hoped to get in a good sum during the en- suing month. He complained of the non-pay- ment of rates by the Blaina Tin-plate Worts Company. Repeated application had been made to them for payment, but no attention had been given. It was resolved that the Clerk write the Com- pany giving them 7 days' notice to pay the rates. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. Gentlemen,—I respectfully beg to report as fol- lows :— During the 31 days ending the 31st ult. the con- snmption of water for domestic purposes was 3,804,000 gallons, and for trade purposes 616.000 gallons. Since your last meeting 13 interments have been made in your cemetery. Applications for the pur- chase of burial rights in perpetuity have been made iQLr?*- William Dinimick, Shrubbery-road; Mr. William Cox, 9, jCross-street: Mrs. Mary Ann oiT11ym' 149, High-street; Edward Hillier, 2, Charles-row, Cwmcelyn John Wilton, 7 Hope- street Mrs. Isabella Hughes, Clfepel-street, Blaina; i ^?hn Harvey, 20, Prospect-terrace, Abertillery; s- Eliza Richards, Slitre-street, Abertillery. Several cracks have recently appeared in the w&118 of the chapel and caretaker'B house. These cracks probably arise from the subsidence of the ]FrOulLd caused by the underground collie.ry work- ings G?od progress has been made with the improve- ments at Pontygwellch. Nwxly the whole of the excai*ting**ork has been completed ''Dun'' the last 3 days this work has not beeia pro*ceeded Zth as the continuous wet weather has made the roadal- most impassable. By the kind permission of Messrs. Lancaster and Co. the traffic iB now diverted through their fields. The 15-inch pipe culvert near Bristol House is choked owing to mine rubbish from tips having been carried therein by storm water. The making of the new road in Queen-street, Blama, is nearly completed. I beg to submit for your approval a plan of a house and shop proposed to be built in High-street, Blama, by Mrs. H. Jones. Your obedient servant, August 27th, 1891. GK STEVENS. CARETAKER'S HOUSE. In reference to the cracks appearing in the walls of the chapel and caretaker's house at the Cemetery, it was decided that a committee of thewhole Board visit the Cemetery on Saturday next and take steps to improve same. PIPE CULVERT. The surveyor was empowered to carry out the necessary work near Bristol House 'as to the choke pipe culvert. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. ^tlemen,'—36 births (22 males and 14 females) and 23 deaths (11 males and 12 females) were re- gistered in the district during the 5 weeks ending with Saturday, the 22nd inst., the death rate being l^.and the birth rate 29'8 per 1,000 per annum; Eight of the above deaths were due to measles. The number of fresh cases of measles in BIaina is considerably less than it was. The typhoid fever in the Upper-road, Gam, has not spread beyond the three cases mentioned in my last report. Two other cases have, however, ap- peared in Caddicl's-row, the cause being apparently to the drinking water, which is not supplied by the Board. There is a case of erysipelas at 136, High-street. Blaina. About a dozen fresh cases of scarlatina have come under observation on the Garn, Coedcae, Aber- tillery-road, and in Blaina. The houses have been, fumigated in which the children suffering from scarlatina have sufficiently recovered to allow its being done. Yours faithfully, H. C. BEVAJT. I TYPHOID SEVER. The Chairman drew the attention of the Board to the report of the medical officer as to the A- parent cause of two cases of typhoid fever m Caddick's-row by drinking water not supplied by ttye Board. The medical officer stated that the inhabitants had their supply of water from a well, which he thought was polluted by sewage soaking into it. Councillor Harris This is a place where they refused to take our water supply, arguing that they had already a proper ana sufficient supply. I would suggest that the medical officer get a sample of the water and send it to be analysed. Mr. Morgan: I have heard a deal of talk about Caddick'a Well. At one time I understand it served the whole of the inhabitants of that dis- trict. Councillor Harris: Yes it is a wonder we were not all poisoned. We were glad to get water anywhere before the present supply. s Mr. Wm. Parry (contractor): I have rt l,frolrit in Cwmeelyn, where there are three we I., u put the Board's water supply in, and' very little of the well water is used. The Clerk If the water in the well is pol- luted you have power to close it at once. Councillor Harris: I propose that a sample of the water be obtained and analysed. Mr. Williams seconded, and it was carried. A NUISANCE. Mr. Jones (Jones and Jones, grocers, High- street, Blaina) attended before the Board to complain of an escape of gas near his premises, which caused an unpleasant smell in his shop and house. The Chairman You have written the Board on this same matter before, I think ? Mr. Jones: Yes, sir the gas has been escaping for some time now. Councillor Harris (to Mr. Jones): I under- stand you have been very poorly for the last few weeks ? r Mr. Jones Yes; I have. Councillor Harris I hear that the gas gets into the barber's shop, and the barber goes off to sleep in the shop, and when he goes to bed he has a difficulty to wake. The Surveyor: The Gas Company have opened the ground in several places, trying to find out the leakage, but failed. Councillor Harris: They ought to open the main from the top to the bottom. The Clerk If the case is a nuisance you can give them certain notice to abate it. Mr, Williams: How are we going to prove it ? Councillor Harris Anyone with a nose on his face. (Laughter.) After some further discussion, it transpired that there was an untrapped drain in the cellar of Mr. Jones' shop through which the gas would find its way. Mr, Jones was advised to put in an earthen- ware trap, and the Clerk was instructed to write the Gas Company on the matter. RECREATION GROUNDS, ETC. The question of a recreation ground for the district was down on the agenda. The Chairman thought that the season was gone, and the matter might be deferred for a time. Councillor Harris then introduced his motion to. the advisability of tie Board adopting the Public Health Amendment Act, 1891, which them extra powers as a Local Authority. Mr. Williams said he had perused the Amend- ment Act a little, and found many of the sec- tions ver stringent. Councitor Harris We might go through the Act, and adopt what we think will be good for the district. The Cl?rk You must adopt a certain par+,i Or the Act. You annot take out sections her.q Pnd there. 'Upon the suggestion of the Chair the matter was defeiied until next meet.: AMan, Afig, -in order to gve an opportunity to t* mer rs to read the Act. ?obe MARKET TRATA?

(jouncillor H drew the attention of the Board,to th up pr?tfoi;?; at Blain& Railway Station which was uncovered, and had no place f gh;iier from inclement weather. Ile also drew attention to the want of a bridge across rat the. statiou, w-biab -va the railwa] very dan- r" gerous at esent paaaeur.rs ,E[o thought that they stould not- allow t?, atters to drop, ese m but keep continUailY ?!Oti$.I&mg until something was don§, The Chairman I quite agree with you. Mr. Morgan I see that the Railway Company are putting up bridges and new stations allthe way down to Newport. I think we were badly treated at the upper end, and that the Company's attention should be strongly drawn to these mat- ters. > ters. The Clerk Whilst you are on this matter, I have some other correspondence from the Rail- way Company's Engineer in respect to the Yew- tree Crossing, and making the new road from est Side north of the rectory and subway underneath the station platform, coming out on highway, in which he states that the plan and proposals made by the Board have been consi- sidered, and he finds -that the work would cost about £ 4000. Under these circumstances he could not recommend his Directors to adopt the proposals. The Chairman The cost exceeds our Sur- veyor's estimate considerably. The Surveyor Yes my estimate was £ 2500. The Clerk The letter adds that if the Board have anything to state in the way of a definite proposal, they should be glad to consider it. Mr. Edwin Griffiths I suppose that means, What are we prepared to contribute towards the cost ? The Chairman Perhaps so but I still advo- cate that we adhere to our former resolution. Considering the dangerous crossings now existing, I consider it incumbent on us to further urge the matter. It was afterwards resolved that the Clerk write to the above effect, and to threaten the Company, if nothing was done, with a Board of Trade inquiry. MAIN ROAD IMPROVEMENT. The Clerk read a letter from Messrs. Webb Bros., Aberbeeg, lessees of certain ground ad- joining the Lower Lion Inn, offering 191 square ya s of land for the purpose of widenin the rovd opposite Garden-terrace for the sum Of 910. The freeholder also offered his interest in the same piece of land for the sum of £ 75. Councillor Harris The improvement by hav- ing this ground will be worth a great deal to us. I propose that we accept the terms offered. The Chairman I'll second it. It was carried unanimously. The Clerk was instructed to carry out the con- veyance of the same as soon as possible. -INCREASE OF SALARY. Mr. John Stevens, caretaker and gravedigger at the Cemetery, applied for an increase of salary on the grounds that wages had gone up generally throughout the country, and his work had in- creased considerably. The Chairman It's very unpleasant work. Mr. Williams What are the wages now ? The Surveyor 24s. per week and house. Mr. Williams I propose that we give him an increase of 3s. per week. This was seconded by Mr, W. Parry, and ear- ned. T J LIGHTING THE DISTRICT. It was decided to invite tenders in the usual way for the lighting of the several districts for the ensuing year. THE COUNCILLOR COMPLAINS. Councillor Harris said he had a bitter com- plaint to make, and that was the erection of water-closets before his business premises and alongside the main road. Some had been built, and he understood that others were proposed to be built. Such. buildings before business pre- mises especially were -very objectionable. He drew the attention of the Board to the matter in the hope that some action would be taken. If not, he would take steps that no more would be erected. The Chairman I am afraid you have brought this upon yourself. Although the question of laying a drain in front of those houses was ques- tioned here before they were laid down, still it was carried that the drain be laid down in the front instead of the back. Mr. Willi ams: The matter was talked about enough at the time. Mr. Allen Mr. Harris only complains of such buildings being erected before his premises. The Chairman I understand that we have put a main drain in the front of these houses, and I think that the people believe they are doing what is proper by building their closets where they can drain them. You would not expect the people to build in the back, and lay drains'through their houses. The, Surveyor When the first closet was erected, I asked the owner to put it in the back, but he refused to do so. I Councillor Harris And now he is sorry he did not. The Chairman: I cannot see that the Board can interfere in the matter. Mr. Harris must take his course. The matter then dropped. REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES. Mr. John Powell, the newly-appointed inspec- tor of nuisances, reported that .h had. com- menced a house-to-house visitation of the dis- trict, so as to make a systematia inspection of dwelling and premises. Numerous houses were reported to be without closetiaccommodation,&ncl 28 days' notice was ordered to be served on the owners. A number of foul and offensive closets, the nuisance arising from the receptacles of the same not being properly attended to, water- closets not being flushed, and throwing of slop- water into the streets, were having his strict attention. There were 6 cases of typhoid and 7 of scarlet fever reported. The patients were isolated, a good supply of disinfectants distri- buted -and every Irecautioia taker, against the spreading of th ii, e iseases Regarding the well at Caddick'is-row, it was likely, in his opinion, to be contaminated and unfit for drinking purposes. The Inspector su ested that the owner of the houses there sh fff be asked to ge? a supply of pure water from the Board's main pipe. It was also recommended that the sanitary committee meet once a fortnight to follow up sanitary mat- ters strictly. This terminated the business.

MOB LAW IN EASTBOURNE. Serious disturbances took place again at East- bourne on Sunday in connection with the parading of the Salvation Army. In the morning the disorder was comparatively slight, but in the afternoon the hostilites nearly approached an alarming riot. The police, of whom a large supplementary body had been brought into tne town, had to contend with a numerous and violent mob, and it is not too much to say that but for their intervention and vigorous efforts the rioting must inevitably, have resulted in loss of life. The Salvationists gathered at the west end of the town, going to their rendezvous by different thoroughfares, and without their musical instruments. These were conveyed in a large sack through a bye-way, but did not escape the roughs, a body of whom stopped those in charge and, getting possession of tne instiruments, smashed them all. Afterwards a vast crowd gathered at the meeting place appointed by the Salvationists, and attacked themm a very deter- mined manner. The police came to the rescue of the instrumentalists and, surrounding them, hurried them through the streets to the Salvation "citadel," but in Seaside-road the crowd became so dense and violent that it was impossible to ad- vance, and a free fight followed, in which several persons on both sides were more or less injured. A visitor, who made a remark derogatory to the Mayor, was pounced upon by the rioters and seriously mauled. At length the police made a way through the mob, and succeeded in escorting a Salvationist to the barracks,.but before enter- ing the building the Salvationist had to encounter the hostility of an even larger crowd. Soon after the general body of Salvationists, who had been holding an out-door service in another district, marched *ap to the "citadel," their appearance being bailed with loud hooting and groaning. A ruOO was made for a banner that they were carrying, and after an exciting struggle this was capt;ared by the mob. The police, how- ever, took ).Jc from its captors, and restored it to the Salvationists, but in a second severe tussle the sta^; wa;s broken. Then began a general attack upo*i the Army, the members of which were scattered in all directions. Nearly all the Salvationists lost their uniform caps, which Tere, seized by the mob and torn to shreds,while s^eral of the men were severely knocked about, ^ome of tbe "lasses" fainted, and had to be carried away., The police did their best, but they were so largely outnumbered that it waa a. long time before anything like order cowd be restored. At length the Salvationists -were able to enter the barracks, and proceeded to hold a service, but a number of their opponents entered the building and created so nrach disturbance that little could be heard but discordant noises^. The police forcibly ejected the intruders and quiet was restored. v L
