The dedicatoiy prayers were then offered by the Ve erable Archdeacon with clearness and effect, and hymn 395 A. & M., with the word "Lectern" eubstituied for House in the 1st verse was nicely rendered by the choir and large congregation present. The Ven Arch- deacon then entered the pulpit and delivered an exceedingly eloquent and, withal, moat appropriate sermon on Isaiah lv, verses 10 and 11, and was listened to with the most marked attention by a large and a highly appreciative congregation of clergy, visitors from a distanoe, and the inhabitants of Carrog generally.

THE BERTH CHAPEL HARVEST THANKSGIVING…
THE BERTH CHAPEL HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES. PRESENTATION OF NEW I' LECTERN. The annual harvest, thanksgivieg eervioes at Beitb Chapel of Ease, Llanbedi;, wers com- menced CD Tuesday, and continued on Wednes- day. The chapel was very nicely decorated for the t-ascival by the following :—The chancel by Mr Tu/inas Jones, the Berth gardener; the nave by the Misses Stirah and Edith Jones, the ¡ Gross. The Tuaaday evening service was in Eaglith, the preacher being the Rev Morgan Heeli, recior of Llangwyfan. Next morning at ten o'cl ck there was Holy Communion, and at 3 SO came the English service when a new lectern, the gift of Mr Lloyd, of Rhagatt, in memory of his mother, was dedicated. Owing to the very stormy weather, tha attnd- anca at the afternoon service was not so large an has been usual, still the pretty and interest- ing little edifice was fairly well filled. The clargy taking part in the service were the Rev Chancellor bulkeley Jonea, Warden of Ruthin, who read the dedication prayers for the conse- cration of the new luctarn the Rev Thomas Jones, rector; the R-v D Williams, B.D., reotor of Llandyrnog, and rural dean of Denbigh, who preached; the Rev R S Mylne, M.A., and the Rev J Jones, curate, who read the prayers. The hymns wire given out, and one of thg lessons read by Mr Lloyd, of Rhagatt, owiog to whose generosity the church is main taioed, and who has added the lectern already mentioned to a singularly well appointed 1 ecclesiastical fabric. The excellent organ was played by Mr R J Jones, organist, and a strong choir sang the anthem, "O Taste and See," by Sir John Goas. The appropriate hymns were also well sung by ohoit and congregation. In his sermon, from the text, She hath done what she conld," the Rev D Williams very ably showed up the mistaken idea of Jadas who oomplamed of the waste of precious ointment upon the Saviour by Mary, and from this theme he soundly rated those Judas'* of to-day, who put utilitarianism before the worship of God, and forgot to treat man as an immortal being. To such people the placing of a beauti- ful lectern in that chnrch would be a waste, for there it was absolutely useless according to their view, but as an offering to God it would be remembered for ever. At the close of th4 service the benediction was pronounced by iba Chancellor, and the congregation separated after the recessional hymn. Aftetwards tke visitors and members of the choir were enter- tained to tea at Berth by Mr Lloyd, and in the evening there was Welsh service, the sermon being preached by the Rev M )r¡(I)D Reell, rector of Llangwyfan. The anthem at this service was M Molwch yr Arglwydd," by John Ellis. The cotlactions were equally divided between the Chnrch Missionary Society and the Denbighshire Infirmary. The festival will be continued next Sunday, and on the following Sunday th school anniversary and distribution of piizes will take place, when any friends who care to attend are cordially invited. The lectern is of oak, and ill in k--ping with the other appointments of the ohurch. It bears a suitable inscription.
SAINT PETER'S CHURCH.
SAINT PETER'S CHURCH. HARVEST FESTIVAL. Yesterday (Thursday) the harvest thanks- giving services in connection with St Peter's Church, Ruthin, "were held, and were very well attended. As usual great interest was taken in the event, and the ladies were busy on Wednesday, decorating the ancient ^difioe for tbe occasion. The interest taken i- the festival was all the greater beeause the preaeher at the English service was the popular Vicar of Rhyl, the Rev Dan Edwards,,M.A„ whose pulpit fame iR widespread, and who is ail the more welcome in Ruthin beoanse he happens to be an old boy of the Grammar Sebool.

RUTHIN MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
RUTHIN MUNICIPAL ELECTION. The election of four Ruthin Town Coun- cillors took place last Tuesday, in the Council Chamber, Town Hill, all the arrangements being pretty much as heretofore. Mr William Lloyd, the town clerk, was the presiding officer, and was assisted by two poll clerks, Messrs Baldwin Griffith and Charles Goodman Jones. The number of voters on the register this year is 580, and of these a little over three- j fourths voted, 442 altogether. There were two spoiled papers, one of which, rumour says, was the work of the intelligent elector who desired to vote for all candidates, having promised to do so A large crowd, but a crowd mostly composed of youths, assembled to hear the results read out, and the people waited patiently till they saw the blind over the window of the Council Chamber being drawn up, this being the signal that the fateful moment had arrived. By this time it was getting wen oil towards ten o'clock. It should [ be stated that, ing fair night, the Square was ) lighted up with the flamers of the crockery sellers, who seemed considerably disconcerted by the fact that attention was drawn from them by the more exciting election question, and also by the Volunteer Band, under Bandmaster E Thomas, who played a^ very interesting selection close by Mr John Evan Jones s shop. selection close by Mr John Evan Jones s shop. We have not always been able to commend the band for their efforts, but they were most nobicably in tune during such part of the per- formance as we heard, and they played with excellent expression and spirit also. In fact, their concert was very creditable indeed. The Town Clerk duly appeared at the window of the Council Chamber, and said he would call upon the Mayor to declare the result of the election. The Mayor (Dr Medwyn Hughes), who was the returning officer, then came to the window, and was greeted with hearty cheers. His Worship read out the figures as follows:- John Roberts (L), Solicitor's Managing Clerk 337 E. Tegid Owen (C), Licensed Victualler 291 d. F. Byford (C), Auctioneer 249 T. J. Roberts (L), Chemist 200 C. D. Phillips (C), Commercial Traveller 157 Edward Jones (C), Innkeeper 69 The first four were declared elected, and the party representation remains the same, the last named candidate having been replaced in the Council by Mr Tegid Owen. The other three elected candidates were the previous members. After the declaration of the poll, the crowd, who, by the way, generously applauded all the victors, proceeded, in accordance with the time-honoured Rnthin custom, to the resi- dences of the successful candidates, in their order upon the poll, the band accompanying them, and playing See the Conquering Hero Comes," and other jubilant tunes of the kind. Being at the head of the noil, the first to be serenaded was, of course, Mr John Roberts, in Mount-street Mr Roberts appeared at the door, and said he thanked the ratepayers from the bottom of his heart for the magnificent victory they had' won, for it was not a triumph for him—it was a victory that had been gained by them. He had been only the instrument through which that victory had been gained. He believed he might say conscientiously and fearlessly that during the six years he ha,d endeavoured to represent them in the Council he had done so fearlessly and faithfully, and he li id done it not in this own interest, for if he had studied his own interest he should not have allowed himself to have become a candidate on this occasion. But he had felt that he had to con- sider higher interests than his own, and the fact that they had recorded in his favour so many votes proved conclusively that he had been justified in the course he had adopted. The majority of them would have seen his address, lin which he had referred to a great number of reforms that had been carried out during the last six years. Some of his oppon- ents were so uncharitable as to say that be was taking credit for all these reforms personally, but he never did anything of the kind (ap- plause). If they read his address carefully they would find that he only pointed out that during these six years the reforms had been carried out, but as his opponents had been so uncharitable as to say he had claimed the credit for tliorr. ,1— "V''&& n JJll he did not do so, he now defied his opponents to say that, if he did not initiate them, he did not take an active part in sup- porting them (applause). The verdict the electors had given that day, proved conclusively the course that be had adopted had met with their approval, and now that they had given him so many votes in the contest he should o-o back determined to work in the future as he had done in the past. He had not asked the ratepayers of Ruthin to support him on the faith of future promises. He had asked them to judge fairly and impartially whether upon his past performances he was a fit and proper person to represent them again, aud they had said emphatically yes (A Voice And you will again," followed by laughter and loud cheers). Although he had not r-epresetvted that there were any future reforms he would like to see carried out, he thought there was one that was manifest to every person present that day-to every one who bad recorded a vote. He bad stated in the Council he thought it was a scandal that an election should cost, when the fee attached to the office was only a guinea a year, so much as 913 or J614, and he said further—and he wished them clearly to understand that when he said this, he had no personal feeling towards the person to whom he was about to refer—that they knew very well that tolls in Ruthin coat them £ 25 for collection. The toll collector that day, al- though it was a fair day, was not stndying the interests of the ratepayers, bv seeinc that all the tolls that might be collected and ought to be collected were collected-instead of doing that he was inside the polling compartment, for which he got thirty shillings and sixpence extra (" oh "). What he said was this. If they could do without a toll collector on such a day as that, on a fair day, why could not they do without him on a market, day, and if it was absolutely necessary-and it was absolutely necessary—that they should have polling clorks in the compartment that «'• 'y fl!d nofc 8° outside the borouo-h officials and get someone to whom it would have been a charity to appoint to that office for borough^(applause) instead of takingone of the borough officials who was neglecting his dutv hi'l,"11b^fn auPerr\sirtS the collection of thl tolls, being inside the polling compartment and giving him an extra 31 stilling and six- pence (applause, He thought they might con- gratulate themselves, at all events, as far aa the candidates were concerned, that the election had been fought on the best possible terms. He bad been outside the polline- I station during the "vvhole of the day practically 1 and he might say, without fear of contradiction^ that they all worked harmoniously and amic- ably, the hast personal feeling existed between all the candidates (applause). All he now asked was that the same feeling would be shown by all the supporters of each of the candidates (applause). Mr Tegid Owen, being next on the list, was then visited, and, speaking from the balcony of the hotel, he said it was a great pleasure to him to stand before them for, as a young man who had onlv been in the town a very short time, he felt that they had conferred upon him a very* great honour in electing him a member of the Council, and placing him so well upon the poll. He had always desired to do all he could for his fellow-townsmen, and for the town of his adoption, and they could rely upon him to give them his very best service in the Council, He thanked them very sincerely for the honour they had conferred upon him, and kiiat at the end of the term of office for y 1, bad been returned they would be able had Lm in 0 8arne confidence that they tbf bestowed (cheers). As a beginner in his dnH^0 he would naturally have to learn patienno.3' aj^e trusted he would have their Ks,e„r4 Ksr 7"?b,Mjr Mr HvfnrH if 8ht bave (applause).

As he had that day been speaking for him. As he had that day been speaking for five or six hours down at the auction mart, he hoped they would excuse his saying anything more (cheers). Mr C D Phillips, being also present at the hotel, briefly returned thanks to those who had voted for him, and he said that he was satisfied, from the support he had received, that he was desired by aj substantial minority of the electors to serve them in the Council, and therefore he would, on auother occasion, all being well, again give them an opportunity of voting for him (cheers). The next move was towards Well-street, the surging body of the inhabitants coming to a halt before the establishment of .Mr T J Roberts, the fourth of the elected candidates. Being greeted with a cheer of welcome when he appeared at the door, Mr Roberts briefly thanked the 200 who had voted for him, and promised to do his duty in the Council as he had done in the past. He also pointed out the high position he held among the various members of the Council ifl the matter of attendances in the last year.

The Chairman apologised for his non- attendance at the last special meeting, and said that this meeting was called for the con- sideration of an application by the Headmaster for an assistant teacher, and also the sug- gestion for a new arrangement with the Drill Instructor. THE DRILLING OF THE BOYS, It was stated that at present the boys were drilled once a week of one hour's duration, and it was thought that it would be better to have the drills twice a week of half-an-hour's duration. Mr W H Evans said that it would be better if the drills could be held in the hall. The drill instructor (Sergt Instructor Evans) said that he would arrange that the boys should be drilled in the Drill Hall when it was wet and in the yard when it was drv. W H Evans suggested that the drills in the Drill Hall be on Wednesday afternoon so that no time be lost. The Instructor, in answer to questions, said that bar-bells would be first-class things for the boys to drill with. The matter was left to the judgment of the master and the instructor to decide, the Governors deciding that bar-bells should be purchased. THE NEW ASSISTANT TEACHBR. A letter was read from the Headmaster applying to the Governors for an assistant second master. It stated that at present there were 38 pupils in the school, and if the classes wore divided equally, two mas'ers would be sufficient, but they could not be satisfactorily divided into two classes, and so he therefore^ applied for an assistant second master. This matter was considered in committee, and it was decided to engage an assistant second master who could teach latin and French. ♦-
THE DENBIGH FIRE BRIGADE ENTERTAINED…
THE DENBIGH FIRE BRIGADE ENTERTAINED BY MAJOR SALUSBURY. INTERESTING DEMONSTRATION AT BACH-Y-GRAIG, NEAR TREMEIRCHION. The Denbigh Fire Brigade met at the Engine House on the afternoon of Saturday last. The horses were harnessed and at- tachea with great agility; the engine and equipments were beautifully clean and everything to hand and in its proper place thanks to Engineer H Miller. The men were smart and clean, and the muster was good, the following officers and men being presentCapt R W Lloyd, Lieuts W G Helsby and J Morris Davies, fourth officer Engineer H Miller, Firemen E Myddleton, J P Jovce, W J Nott, Roger Pryae, and James Jones. Capt Lloyd was on the box, and handled the reins most exper-ly. The Brigade left the engine house at 4 p.m. sbarp, and went off smartly towards Bach-y-gral6, taking only the short time of 221 minutes to complete the jonrney (the distance covered being a little over 4 miles), get the engine in position near the pool, and the necessary hose and appliances out, and water playing on the building, all done inside this short period of 221 minutes. After thus playing water on the building, a speciman of one man drill was exhibited. First of all Fireman J P Joyce gave an exhibition of one man drill, which he carried out in a most excellent aud quick manner. Secondly, Capt Lloyd undertook the task of one man drill, which he did in a marvellously short time, and in the mo3t complete manner. Fireman Not also went through the uuu niaa drill iu ft most efficient and smart manner. After this a demon- stration of 2 man drill was carried out by Lieut J Morris Davies and Fireman Roger Pryce, each man taking bis part in a most elfioient and practical manner. Next camo a most interesting demonstration four man drill," carried out by Firemen Myddleton, J P Joyce, W J Nott, and Rogir Pryce, each man having his own part of tht display to carry out, yor. the four men combiued and worked in harmony with each other so thoroughly well that the practise they had Had, and the instruction received from their Captain, which they made the best ula of, altogether uuixibiuod to maKe the drilr a complete success, and one greatly enjoyed by the onlookers. Lastly the men remounted the engine, which was driven round the field with the utmost smartness by Capt Lloyd, who though driving at great speed was able I deftly to turn the horses round in any direction, so that he had the engine in the place which had been fix&d upon before- hand, and placed it in its required position ready for work in the shortest possible time; a smart pi.ce of work which did the whip groat credit, and upon which he was complimented. The drills having been completed were criticised most favour- ably by Major Salusbury and the Messrs Roberts, Bros., the tenants of Bachygraig, and other visitors. Major Salusbury said that they were very highly pleased with all they bad seen and the work done reflected great credit upon Capt Lloyd and his brother fireman. He warmly complimented them on the smart manner in which they arrived, and the speed with which they performed the journey, as well as upon the efficient manner in which they went through their various drills. Then the whole company proceeded to the hall and sat down to a most sumptuous repast, excellently served in the servants' hall, having been provided by the generositv of Major Salusbury, who is the landlord of cacn-y-graig, *?d ba,i m^ted the brigade jointly with Messrs Riberts Bros, the tenants of the farm. Whilst Major Salnsbury was kld enough to generously provide the entertainment, Messrs Roberts Bros ex- cellently carried out all the arrangements. Some guesss, who were asked to witness the proceedings, were also invited to join the brigade at dinner, these including Mr J H Gibbs, Mr Jackson, MrJ Lloyd (Gwayn- ynog Bach), and other guests. The gamekeepers and several others of the chief employees were present. After full justice had been done to the excellent dinner, Major Salusbury gave a fresh proof o his kindness by having an unlimited supply of cigars, tobacco, aud cigarettes handed round, whilst there was au abundant supply of whiskey, wine and later, The tOJl."

TO DAY'S (FRIDAY) DENBIGH BOROUGH POLICE COURT. Before the Itayor (in the chair), Messrs E T Jones, John Davies, liobert Owen, J Harrison Jones and Dr Lloyd. THE LATE MR GEE. A letter of thanks was read by the Town Clerk from Mrs Gee to the Borough Magistrates thanking them for their message of condolence, which was sent to her. DISCHARGED. Robert Jones, a native of Abervatwvth, who was e arged on his own confession with SShS trousers days for fear they might Ibe claimed° CHARGE AGAINST A MAN POTt DRUNKENNESS AT THE wrv BL Sergt Farrell summoned William Jones for being drunk on licensed premises—the Back Row Hotel, Denbigh. Mr Samuel Moss, M.P., barrister, instructed by Mr A 0 Evans, solicitor, appeared for Mr Story, the proprietor of the Back Row, and for the defendant Jones. Mr Moss expressed the hope that If the first case, that of the defendant Jones, ended in a conviction for being drunk, that they would not allow that to prejudice them in the case against Mr Story, but would deal with that on its merits. Sergt Farrell said that on Saturday, October 8th, he visited the Back Row Hotel at quarter- past six, in company with Police constable Powell Jones, and in thfi kitchen he saw the defendant, Willialll Jones, sitting down. He wa" drunk. He was selecting some money which he held in his hand, and at the same time the servant, Elizabeth Jones, was convey- ing a glass of beer into the room. -Sli,- had her back to him. She placed the glass of beer opposite the defendant, and in reply to his statement that the man ought not to have the beer, she said to defendant that he was not to have any more beer. Defendant asked her who said so. and she replied, the policeman said so. He (witness) asked for Mr Story, and was told that he was not, on the premises. He told the girl she had better see that the defendant went out of the house at once. Witness went out- fide and saw the ostier, and asked him if he had anything to do with the management of the house, and he said, "Yes." He told him that Jones was in the house drunk, and the ostler went into the house, but came back and said that- Jones would be out in a minute or two, and be heard the girl say that he was not to have any more drink. Jones came out at about 6-30, a quarter of an hour after he had (witness) gone in. He was staggering drunk. In reply to the Bench He did not see tho defendant dtink the beer or pay for the beer. Cross-examined at great length by Mr Moss going over the whole evidence, and in the course of it, witness said: He could not say whether the house was well conducted or not, lie had not been in Denbigh very long. He had had complaints about the house, but he had never made a complaint about it, but he had received complaints from others he had ,not, however, complained about it to Mr Story or the manageress. He was not present when Mr Story made a complaint to the Superintend- ent. He had made up his mind that the defendant was drunk when he saw him sitting down, he had his back to the window, and the table between him and the door. He only saw twoothermenin the room, he knew one, he wasa plasterer of the name of Jones. He did'nt call either of them to-day, as there was great difficulty in getting them. He asked for Mr Story, because he was not aware that Miss Jones was the manageress, as Mr Story had Jones was the manageress, as Mr Story had previously told him that he was the manager. He made up his mind that the man was drunk when he saw him sitting down, for he was not sitting steadily on his seat, and his head was drooping. When be came out he was sta^g'er- ing. He did not notice how he managed the steps up out of the house. He drew the attention of the servant to defendant s con- dition. He did not say that old man must not have any mo-e beer. She did nt take up the glass of beer and say "all rijjht." He stood in the porch with Police-constable Jones, and heard defendant cursing and swearing. The ostler, when he came out of the house, did not say that the defendant was all right. He saw Mr Story on the street sometime after and told him of the case, and he said he would co and see into it. Witness did not go with jam, nor did he tell him that he was goin* to be proceeded against. He did not k.Vow that he was, as he had not then laid the cas. his Stiperijitendenf.Ij wa, -ci c Jones, the mason, ™ r: e ?°uld see a11 men in the were onlv fw^fl?mtf certain of that, and there were not**}^ beside the defendant; any more or two t was in, but he saw one SDeak tn ,e ^0aae wben he went to speak to the ostler, and men could go in aoher way. fs asked for the production of the c- ky the Sergeant on the occasion, Sergt Farrell declined to produce them on in Kr0Unt^ ^at he had not referred to them evident *"° re^res^ memory as to his The Bench said, as the officer had not used or referred to the notes in Court, they were of opinion that Mr Moss was not entitled to see them. Mr Moss said he had never heard of a police. an's notes being refused before under similar circumstances. The Serg-t said that Police-constable Jones had seen his notes of the case- Police-constable Jones generally corroborated the Sergeant, proving that he saw the girl bring in a glass of beer and put it opposite defendant, and the Sergeant pointed out to her that defendant was drunk. In answer to Mr Harrison Jones he said the other two men in the room were sitting apart from defendant, and they each had a glass of beer in front of them. He corroborated as to the ostler eroing in and coming out without defendant, who did not come out till some 15 minutes after, and was then staggering drunk there was no doubt about his being drunk. He served the summons on the do. fendant Jones, who said he did not remember seeing the Sergeant that ni^it, and did not re- member being at the Back Bow after dinner. Cross-examined He did not take any notes of the case, but he had talked with the Sergeant once or twice on the case to refresh his "memory. Defendant was drunk in the house he sat the other side of the table from them. When Sergt Farrell told the girl defendant was drunk she did not say anything in reply, but to the defendant she ..aid he had hadjenough beer. Knew Miss Jones was t manageress, but he did not ask for ber, all that to the Sergeant, as it was not h« duty to ask for her.

The Ostler did not tell them when he came out that the defendant was not drunk he did not speak to witness, but went straight to the I yard. 0 Ser^t j-arrell Did you see anvof my notes?

The police did not say anything to the other men. Defendant did" t, get assistance to go out; he did not need it. The police were five minutes in the porch, but could not see the men in the kitchen. Cross-examined by Farrell: She didn't serve defendant with beer because he (the officer) said he had bad enough. Defendant was in the house 15 minutes before he asked for beer. The Sergeant didn't ask for Mr Story defend- ant asked for a glass of beer and then went and sat down. Daniel Jones, ostler, remembered Sergeant Farrell coming to him and saying Dan, Wil- liam Jones is inside drunk, you had better go in and get him out."

There were four or five men in the room beside himself. In answer to the Mayor, he said he was there before Wm Jones came, and the latter was in five or six minutes before the police came in. Pierce R Jones, who stated that he was there, and the defendant was quite sober. Mr Moss very ably, and at great length, ad- dressed the Bench for the defence, calling attention to what he said were serious discre- pancies in the police evidence, and that evidence was not corroborated by any inde- psndent testimoney. Policemen were not like ordinary witnesses, they knew the value of OVIR J 1 <• I etuu uueynaathe means ot getting it up, so that they expected police wit- nesses to aeree, as they could rehearse the story story together, but notwithstandiug that the evidence of these two men did not agree in several important particulars It was a very unusual thing for the officer to decline to pro- duce his notes, as perhaps it would have thrown some light upon the case. Police- constable Howell Jones had said that he had not seen the notes belonging to the Sergeant, the only way they had been refreshing their memory was by conversation and not by seeing the notes. The Sergeant stated that when he went in the Back Row there were only only two men present with the defendant, William Jones, whilt witnesses had been called to prov: that there were more when the police arrived. He had never heard of a man being summoned by the police but that all the necessary evidence was forthcoming, and would be proved up to the hilt, and with some- thing to substantiate the officer's evidence. He must complain of the conduct of the police in this case. They went quietly away without even complaining to the manageress or to the one left in charge. They did not say to the men that were present "I want your name and address to give evidence in this case," but left and told no one anything. Police-constable Joney had said that the Sergeant did not ask for Mr Story as the Sergeant had said he had. He thought it moat improper th&t the police did not call any of the men in the room at the time as independent witnesses. Thev had A -¿. "'6- O ■ • L' iivmiug no ml OLOry ADOUT, tms case until after closing time at night. He pointed out the man did not get the beer and he urged that it would be most unsafe to convict a man on such uncorroborated evidence as the police have given which was full of discrepencies He urged tiie weight of evidence he had called of independant witnesses who had proved that the man was sober. He could only account for the action of the officers on the ground that they were over zealous, and that they had gone into the Back Row intendmg to find a man in drink, and acting in a very indiscreet and rash manner, had pounced on the defendant. He strongly urged tiie dismissal of the case. At this point the Court was cleared, and after a delay uf about 20 minutes it was re- opened, and the Mayor aud re-sing Mr Samuel Moss, M.P., said that the bench had decided upon the evidence that the defendant. William Jones, was drunk, and he would be fined 2s bd and costs, or in default 14 days. Mr Mmn said that if the defendant. (Ip") he would require their worships to state a case. The Court then adjourned till 2 30 this afternoon. a
