THE BARROW ELECTION. Unquestionably the leading and all- absorbing topic in the political world during the last few days has been the Barrow election, rendered necessary by the acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds by Mr W. S. Caine, the Unionist member for the division. The Poll took place on Wednesday last, and the result, as reported in our columns, was declared late that night. That the Unionist party has lost one of its seats we do not think anybody will seriously care to deny,, but we confess ourselves utterly unable to see any legitimate cause for the wild exultation indulged in by the Gladstonians, over what they have temporarily gained through the misfortune of their opponents, unless it be that they are thankful for so small a mercy as a false victory. We contend that Barrow to-day, to all intents and purposes, is as decisively Unionist as it was in the General Election of 1886. That the contending forces were moved in the direction of Home Rule and anti- Home Rule is sufficiently established by the fact that Mr Gladstone himself urged in his letter all his followers at Barrow to support Mr Duncan's candidature, while Mr Caine, to the last, refused to be baited by the Home ¡ Rulers, aud in answer to the various questions put to him by wire, by letter, and by depu- tations, emphatically declined to espouse their cause, and went before the electors as in 1886, a supporter of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Mr Wainwright fought as an out and out Conservative, and secured no less than 1,862 votes, which, added to the 1,280. recorded in favour of the Liberal Unionist candidate, shows a force of 3,142 in favour of the Union, or a majority of 1,148 over the successful Gladstonian candidate. We do not affect surprise at the result of this election. It is generally the case that when one party, however strong and however positive its majority may be in a particular district, has the ill fortune of being divided in its sympathies and in its actions, the minority succeed in snatching a victory. Of such a nature was the accident at Barrow on Wed- nesday last. We C( nfklently believe that when the next gene-Mi election comes, the voice of Bai i-ow wil o ace mo *e be h<»ard in the councils of the nation ranged on the side of the Union.

PETER'S CUCNEIR.— The members of the Sunday Schools in connection with this Church had their annual outing yesterday, when they proceeded by special train to Tenby. Abrut 800 turned up. The weather was gloriously ti"e after the recent rain, and all spent a pleasant and joyful day. Ample refreshments were supplied to all.

Addresses were delivered by Mr Maclean, Mr Henry Howell, and the Rev. D. S. Davies, Union-street Chapel. The latter speaker made some very strung remarks, which do not speak very highly of a minister of the Gospel. In the course of the evening, Miss Hooper, Blue- street, gave a solo with credit to herself, and a party of Babell Chapel, Pensarn, also favoured the meeting with two songs, and were admirably rendered. The meeting was closed with prayer. A PRAISEWORTHY ACT. Yesterday, Alderman John Lewis, Commerce House, gave his employees a trip to Pendine. About 8.30. a.m. they started, numbering about 43, in two four-in- hand vehicles from the Ivy Bush Hotel, closely followed by a carriage with refreshments. The weather was beautifully tine, and it is needless to say that they returned home having spent a happy time, and with warmer hearts if possible than before towards their genial employer, Mr Lewis, whose praiseworthy example deserves the consideration of other tradesmen in the town.

C A R M A R T HEN S H I It E JOIN T EDUCATION COMMITTEE.

LLANDILO CHRONICLE. TIIE UNITED MALE VOICE PAHTY. This party will re-commence practice on Sunday week preparatory for competition at the Llandilo eisteddfod. A COMPLIMENT. After the Llandilo glee party had finished rendering the subject for the male voice competition at the Llanelly eisteddfod, Major Bythway, one of the, presidents approached the accompanist of the party (Miss Constance E. Lockycr, "County Press," Llandilo), and said that Signor Rindegger, one of the musical adjudicators had requested him to convey his congratulations to her for the excellent manner in which she had accompanied the Llandilo party. This must be a great encouragement to the talented young lady coming as it does from so distinguished a musician. Miss Lockyer's future no doubt is full of great promise. THE LATE LADY DYNKVOR. The tenants of the Dynevor Castle Estate have forwarded to the Right Hon. Lord Dynevor, who is now in Loudull, a beautifully illuminaktl album containing an address (in English and Welsh) of condolence and sympathy with his Lordship in his bereavement by the death of Lady Dynevor. The album which was procured through the agency of Messrs G. Jones and Sons, printers, etc, Llandilo, is of medium-quarto size, and comprises (1) photographs of his Lordship, the Dynevor Mansion, and Llandefeisant Church, and arms in colours on title page (2) English address (3) photo of the old Castle (5) Welsh address (6) names and addresses of the tenants in facsimile. It is bound in full Russia, printed in gold with the baron's arms blocked on side in gold, and is altogether a magnificent work. The following is a copy of the English address. "An address to the Right Honorable Arthur De Cardonnel Baron Dynevor, of Dynevor Castle. May it please yjur Lordship to accept from us your tenants, through the medium of this address, our deep and heartfelt sympathy with your Lordship and your Lordship's family in your present bereavement by the death of your beloved wife and our highly respected Lady—Lady Dynevor. Her life and character were greatly appreciated and admired by us tll-- her noble mind, high culture and christian dis- position shining forth throughout her life an ornament to her family, and a blessing to the public—fully worthy of distinguished history and reputation of the House of Dynevor.

LOCAI, BOARD. The ordinary monthly meeting was held on Tuesday evening, when Major Thomas occupied the chair. The other members present were Messrs T. < Williams, W m. nritliths, Gritiith Williams, and Junkin Jones.- The surveyor pre- =- sentcd a return made by him of ratepayers using water for other than domestic purposes.—The Clerk read the list, and remarked that it con- tained a few names of persons who should not be strictly considered as using water for other than domestic purposes.—The Chairman asked the clerk to show him what the Act said.—The Clerk A supply of water for domestic purposes shall not include a supply of water for cattle, or for horses, or for washing carriages where such horses or carriages are kept for sale or hire or by a common carrier, or a supply fur any trade manufacture or business, or for watering gardens, or for fountains or for any ornamental purpose." —Mr T. G. Williams spoke strongly against the idea of taxing a manufacturing company (alluding to the South Wales brewery) to a great extent while not charging others, because they used a much less quantity. He would suggest that the surveyor should make out the approximate sum each ratepayer using water for other than domestic purposes should be charged, taking the brewery a" a has is, He did ii"t care whether it was only Is a year, but it was right to do so. -The Chairman I approve of what you say.— Mr T. C. Williams said that his object was not to cramp people in trade, but would rather give them all faciiit v. HDWPVPV the Board should cbaroi> I] "b' other people pro rata with the brewery. They paid more than anybody The Chairman observed that the question should be discussed seriatim after the bye-laws were prepared.—The Cle: k reiterated that the matter would net be altectid by the bye-laNN-. -Ali, T. G. Williams formally repeated his proposition. After some further discussion, Mr (xiifhth Williams remarked that the brewery had used the water before the Board had any knowledge of it. -The Chairman said that parties belonging to the brewery had spoken to him before putting the pipe down. There was no consent, but the Company were willing to pay—A Member (ad- dressing the surveyor) Did any member of the brewery company speak to you about the pipe before it was brought before the Board !—The Surveyor Yes they did, but they did not speak of the size of the pipe.—The Chairman said lie should like to have the reply received from the Local ("ovcrnment Board with respect to the town clock read.—The reply was then read, the terms of which we have already published.—The Local GovernmentBoard had by that letter decided that the Local Board could not in future pay costs of repairing, lighting, or maintaining the rate- payers' clock, or town clock. Now that the de- cision as to the rates had been settled he (the speaker) hoped that all bad feeling would die away, A; until something more definite was fixed upon as to the future of the clock, he propused to find the money for any repairs, tfce., that may be incurred as long as he would be chairman of that Board. He daredsay he would have s-uppoit. t-iidcl- the circumstances, they (the Board) did not deserve the treatment they had received outside. Mr Crillith Williams proposed that the clock should not be maintained in future out of the rates. He twitted the clerk for not having given the law upon the matter before the Board had undertaken its control, &-c. -The Clerk said that he had read it 20 times, and in his letter to Mr copy of which lie produced, he said that the Board could not legally take over the clock with- (),[It I faculty. This was a few months before the Board resolved to maintain the clock, which they did on the 7th June following. An irregular discussion followed, when ultimately Mr U. W illianis's motion was agreed to without any amendment.

Tn the House of Lords on Friday, the Marquess of Kipon advocated the abolition of the comllJand in chief of the Madras and Bombay Armies and the concentration of these commands in the Commandership in Chief for India. The Duke of Cambridge thought it would not be desirable to concentrate the military administration of so large a country as India under one command. In the House of Commons, Mr W. H. Smith moved the appointment of a select committee to consider the desirableness of carrying over partly- considered Bills flom ono Session to mother Session of the same Parliament. The names proposed were agreed to. The Home Secretary, in moving the second reading of the Police Bill, urged the House to pass it with the least possible delay. The difference between the two-thirds desired by the men after twenty-five years' service and the three-fifths pro- posed by the Bill came to forty-thousand pounds a year, and represented between a farthing and a j halfpenny rate.

Smith, in reply to Mr Gladstone, expressed a hope that he would be able to make a statement as to the course of business on Thursday.

Lord Coleridge thought the Bill should have originated in the Commons, as it imposed charges on the county rates, and he further objected to it on the ground that regulations for the reception of the Judges ought not to be made without consulting them. Ultimately the Bill was read a second time, and referred to the Standing Committee on Law. In the House of Commons, Lord G.

He acknowledged the valuable asssistance he had received from the President of the Local Govern- ment Board (Sir Michael Hicks-Beach) and others. Sir W. Harcourt thought that course was the one that would be adopted by everyone who desired to see the success of the bill. What they had to consider was wheter they were to carry the bill or to lose it and he hoped that no one who was friendly to it would peisist in motions which must have a tendency to destroy it. Mr Ciemer, in support of the bill gave his experi- ence of the inducements offered to members of that House to join boards of director?. The third reading was carried by 224 to 50.
