JL PROLONGED METIJftt AWD THZ MtMBLT.

The meeting commenced at ive oeJoei, and lasted till half-past eight. A large number of matters were dealt with, most of which were of no public importance-.as gathered from the report now preftnted. The following are the extracts from the minutes which appeared to be of interest to the general body of.inha.bitaab MEDICAL OOTICBRB* BJEJPOBT. Dr William Jones, the Medical Officer of Health for the borough, reported 8S follows:—During the months of October and November 11 births (fire males and six females) and eight deaths were registered. With one exception the deaths were the result ef ordinary causes* The txeeptional case was that of typhoid fever in Clwyd-street, whieb ended fatally. I visited and made a careful inspection of the premises, but foend nothing that Could account fer the case. The measures recommended to be adopted at the premises in Mwrog-street, where some fatal casea of diphtheria lately ooearred have been efficiently carried out, and it is to be hoped that the caase of the infection has been en- j tirely removed. j THIS PROPOSXD BEVHLOPMENT OF "fUll MAltKKT BALL. Proposed by Mr Ezra Roberts, Seconded hy Mr Theodore Rmtw, and resolved that it be a recommendation to the Council that a committee of seven members of the Council be appointed for the purpose of taking iato consideration the conversion of the Market Halt into an assembly room, etc., and to report, aad that sttch com- mittee be empowered, if they think proper .• to consult an arohitøt1 and to embody his opinion, rough plana, and estimate in the:, report, the following to be the committee The Mayor, Aldermen Ezra Roberts, Edward Roberts and T P Roberts, Councillors Thomas Williams, Theodoie Rouw, and William Jones. THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF' THE-tWUNCIL. Bills and claims were presented amount- ing to X435 Ii. 4d, of which bills amountiag to .£326 j. 2d were passed far payment, while bills amounting to J6109 129 2d were deferred for various reasons. The Treasurer reported that he had in hand the sum of .£170, which shows a defieit of zCI56 48 2d. The Treasurer was ordered to pay the accounts in the order fixed, as the rates, ete., eome in. These formed the more interesting part of the committee's long sitting, and The Chairman, as representing the Mayor, who was the chairman of the committee meeting, moved that the report be adopted by the Council. Mr Ezra Roberts seconded, and the various matters were then open for discussion in the Council, when the follow- i ing questions were oonsiderbd ;— all& CLEANING 017 THE STREETS AXD Tlt8 OBSTRUCTION THEREOF. Mr Rouw complained that there was a I difficulty resulting from their meeting in i committee in the manner now usual, in i that members were unable, after sualil committee meetings, to gire notice of any matters they wished to bring before the Council, as the reeult of what might be done at these committees. He wished to bring forward the question of the lighting of the Square. He supposed that this was the principal business part of the tow., and it was wretchedly lighted. He moved as an amendment to the report that it be an instruction to the Surveyor to report upon the lighting of St Peter's-square. Mr John Roberts said they all kfcew as well as the Surveyor how the Square was lighted. Would it not be better'to try to induce the (2as Company to give them better gas,? Mr T J Roberts said he would second the amendment by Mr Rouw, as he had be- fore called attention to this matter. Mr John Roberts suggested that the resolution should read that the Surveyor bo requested to report upon the best way of improving the lighting of the Square. Mr Rouw said he would agree to that, and would be glad to add, and the town generally." Mr f- R Roberts Y-es, barring Record- street, which is the best lighted street in thj town. Mr John Roberts What makes St Peter's-square so important ? Mr T H Roberts Well, h is the centre of the town, and the only square we possess. The propoeitioa was then carried. Mr Rouwsawl he had a act her matter to bring forward on consideration of the re- port. It was as to the cleanliness of the streets of the Wwn, mora particularly on the Sunday. The state of the streets on Sunday was- often a disgrace to the borough, and some means ought to be taken to prevail apon the people who were now in the habit of sweeping ail their sweepings into the streets of Butbin to adopt a more cleanly course (hear, hear). He thought that the Surveyor might be asked to report upon the best way of carry- ing out that business. He moved That the Surveyor be asked to report upon the best way of remedying the nnsafcisfactery state of the streets upon the Sundays." Mr John Robert If you will add that I be be asked also to report on the footpath obstructions I will second you. I -r Mr Bouw V eryweU I do so. Mr John Roberts Then I second that. I think we are putting too much work upon the back of the Surveyor, aud I think the mosc"peaitious,way of carrying out what we desire is by this Council meatiag to I formulate by-laws, aud when these bye- laweare made by determining to see that ] they are enforced. I second the aiuaad- ment with thai object. The motion was carried. PROCRASTmATtOK EXTRAORUIIQART. TBS aouSCIL RESOLVR TO BUCK UP 1" Mr Bouw asked when the Byelaws Com- mittee, the Volunteer Encampment Com- mittee, and the Recreation Ground committee were likely to meet. The Chairman That is more than I can tell V". Mr Rouw-stated.that at the last meeting a member of tiutt Council brought forward a request from, a Football Ckib in the town to ereet goal posts in the Recreation Ground, andtbo matter was referred to the committee, bat that committee had never met. Itwas &nw-that something was not dene in thfrmatter. The Chairman Any request you may man I will convey to the Mayor with pleasure. After farther discission, it Willi, unani- [ mously agreed to respectfully reqeest the l, Mayot to call meetings of the Committees named by Mr Rouw. THB AirWfcATlDNft "F THB 'PBOKBUTY ON THE tJIQ U ARB. It appeared that a wrong impression had been made as to the names of the members appointed on the committee lo consider the plaua -of the proposed alter- ations of the ahop on the- Square lately acquired hy, Mr-T H Roberts, clothier, and it wes pointed out that Mr T P Roberts, and sot Mr T H Roberts had been a mem- ber- -of that oommittee. The necessary correction was made in the minutes. MT John Roberts called for a report from the committee, who had been ap- pointed "with power to act. lIe said there appeared to be an impression in the Council that if a -committee were appointed with power to -act-tboy h.d no need to make a report, but that was not the case. Is every such tease, there should be a re- pert of what they did, if only for the purpose of recording it. Informally, of CMrae, he know what the committee had agreed to. Mr T P Roberts said the committee inspected the property, and examined the plana of the alterations proposed by the Denbigh man (Mr Hughes, the arohitect), with which t-feey quite concurred. For once they had a lucky man from Denbigh —which they seldom had (laughter). Mr Rouw said he quite agreed that record should be made for the protection both of Mr T P Rob.s and of the Council. Mr Ezra Reberts moved that the report of th* trommittee be confirmed, and that the plan* be approved. Mr T P Roberts, said- the alterations t would be a gzeat improvement to that I spot. Mr T H Egberts explained that the reason he had aot commenced the altera- tions was that one of the parties who had to sign the transfer deed was abroad. As soon as that -signatnre could be obtained the work would be commenced. The report of the oommittee as amended wed then unanimously agreed to. THR UXIVSftfilTT COLLEGE, BAKOOB. The Mayor was unanimously re-elected the representative of the Council upon the North Wales Court of the University CoNege, Bangor. THB lUTTHIif ITROORDS. A letter was received from the office of the Reeords in London, stating that the eopies of the documents relating to Ruthin at that office, might be searched for by any representative of the Council, and eopies might be obtained at certain scale charges. Mr Rouw said that the Record Office ihad evidently misunderstood the applica- tion. All they wanted was a schedule or list, of all the doeaments that were re- naoved from the town ef Ruthin some 10 years ago. He moved, therefore, that the Town Clerk be instructed again to apply to the Record Office for a schedule or list of all records in their possession relating to the town of Ruthin, if such could be obtained fsee of charge. Mr Ezra Roberts seconded. There were, no doebt, many secrets in the Record Office which might be ctremely interest- ing and possibly useful to the town, and, even if not of actual nae to the town of -Rathin, the action ef the Town Council of Ruthin might .øe the means of adding te the interesting historical information of Wales. Based upon theee very records, there had been recently issued a volume by tbeCymrodoriùn Society which was one of the most interesting in the history of WsW. (kear, hear). THE SANITATION OYBUTHIN. The following letter was read u Local Government Board,, Whitehall, Oct. 28th, 1898. Sir,—I am directed by the Local Govern- ment Board to advert to their letters of the th. June and 15th August last, relative to lirst the need of the systematic removal of refuse, and the aleansickg-ol ashpits and privies in the borough, and secondly the annoyance caused by pig-keeping and the advisability of making further tve-laws as to nuisaaces under section 44 of tho Public Health Act, 1875, and I am to request that the Board be informed without further delay of the result of the Town Council's consideration of these matters, and of any action which they have taken, or propose te take thereon.—I am, your Obedient servant, H. O. PROVIS, Assistant Secretary." Mr John Robert said he did not believe it had ever been alleged that there was any wholesale nuisance in the town in conse- quence of tbs keeping of pigs. They dealt with every case reported to them upon its merits, and he did not think it was right for the Local Government Bosrd to draw any inferenoe that there was any general nuisance existing in the borough in conse- quene. of keeping pir. There was nothing of the kind. Piga, if they had fair play, were quite as clean as, if not cleaner, than dogs (hear, hear). Mr Ronw said if they went through the report of the Inspector of Nuisances, he atould like to know how many eomplaints had been received as to the keeping of pigs. No doubt there-were-a few isolated cases, but where hundreds of pigs were kept the number of complaints was soarcely worth considering. The Deputy Town Clerk said that this question arose upon the report ef the Madioal Officer last year., Mr John Roberta Did he suggest the wholesale stopping of the keeping of pigs. The Deputy Town Clerk was understood to say-*Lat: thia was the case. Mr John Roberts: I should protest most strongly against any action of that kind being taken, and I shall fight it as long as I am here, so long as the pigs are kept clean. The Chairman said the bye-laws com- mittee, which comprised all the members of the Council, would consider the letter as well as the proposed bye-law. The proceedings then concluded.
RUTHIN BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
RUTHIN BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of the Guardians was held on Monday at the workhouse^ when the members present were, Mr Henry Williams, Plas y Ward (presiding), the Rev J F Reece; Messrs Owen Williams, T H Roberts, R H Pugh, John Evans, Edward Jones, Isaac Daniel, R Rogers ,Jones, John Roberts, R Davies Jones, E l Evans, Mrs J Watkin Lumley, and Mrs Edward Roberts, with the oierk, Mr R Humphreys Roberts. THE KEtV VACCIHATIOK REGULATION. The Rev J F Reece gave the report of the committee appointed to consider the question of the fees to be paid to the vac- cination officers, under the new regulations. He said they bad interviewed the medical officers, who were content to accept the fees recommended by the North Wales Union of Public Vaccinators, namely the mini- mum ifee of 5s for each successful vaccina- tion, and Is a mile (after the first mile) traveUed by the medical officer in visiting the residence of the child, counting the mileage from the residenee of the officer, but no mileage to exceed 5s. That ap- peared to be a fair proposal, and the com- mittee recommended it. He therefore moved to that effect. The Clerk suggested that a seaieoef.this sort would be productive of much trouble, in deciding the mileage, and that it would be better to have a fixed fee for each Tao. cination in each parish. After a discussion, Mr Reeee withdrew his ..motion in favour of the Clerk's sug- gestion, and the Board proceeded to form a scale on the lines indicated. It was then found, however, that this would lead to more or less confusion, and it was ulti- mately agreed, on the motion of Mr T H Roberts, seconded by Mr Reece, that the fees to be paid, for mileage, be 3a for every case outside the boroughs of Denbighand Ruthin. IMPROVEMENTS IN THB HoEsS. Mrs Lumley submitted the report-of the hOQBe committee with reference to the recommendation made by the Local Govern- ment Board Inspector in favour of provid- ing more Pash windows in the house. The committee suggested eight windows should be provided, viz., two in the small sick ward, two in the kitchen, two in the man's sick ward, and two in the girls' bedroom. The Clerk pointed out that if more windows were placed in the girls' bedroom it would destroy the appearance of the place. After a brief discussion, it- woo agreed that six windows be provided, and that those in the girls' bedroom be not wa- strueted at present. THE HOUSB. The Master reported that the nusaber of panpers in the house was 73, a* against 80 I. on the corresponding day last year. Dur- ing the fortnight 47 vagrants had been relieved, being" an increase of 9 on the, I corresponding fortnight of the year before, ;tAIFTkt ;TOn THB ITTMATHS. The Master also reported having receipt a bundle of illustrated papers for the use of { the inmates from Pool Park. CHRISTMAS DINNER.

STEALING TWO LEGS <W ^ORBION MUTTON, Robert Jones, 59, New-road, Castle, Denbigh, and Horatio Nelson Lake, also of the Castlo, were charged (in custody) with stealing two legs of Zealand mutton on the previous day from the shop of Mr John Parry, butcher, who lives at Wellington- road, Rhyl, and eariies on business in Bridge-street, Denbigh. Mr John Parry said he hang up two legs of mutton in the shop in Bridge- street on Wednesday night. When he eame there again they were gone. He identified, the two legs produced in oourt as those he had missed, as there was the mark i. the thick part of the leg. They were worfclk 8s 6d each. He had left the back window of the shop open for ventilation. It would be very easy to secure access to the building through the window. Lake You did not see me take theu, Mr Parry. Mr Parry: No I only mieeed them. Arthur Bond, Crescent-road, Rhyl, «aid he was a mail driver, and that he looked after Mr Parry's shop in Denbigh when he was away. He identified the legs of mutton produced as the property of Mr Parry by the way they had been hung up. At ft-80 oa Thursday morning he found the window of the shop open aad the lege of mutton mibsing. He then gave informa- tion *o Sergt Farrell. There was meat in the shoop beside the legs in question. The missed meat was found in the manger of the stable in the Druid yard, which was elose to the shop window. He and the police searched the stable at one and four o'clock, but found nothing. At six o'clock, however, he, in company with Police-eon- stable Jones, found the two legs of mutton. Mary Jones, 4, Bridge-street, Denbigh, who is in the employ of Mrs Williams oonfectioner, said that, about 12 o'clock on Thursday, she was looking through the window, and saw R Jones and Nelson Lake in the Druid yard. Robert Jones had two legs of mutton-one in each hand. They ran into the stable. She then called the other servant. Shø thnuerVit. w¡.M 11. H_ -OA4. pnwUCID had stolen the mu n. She informed Mrs Williams also of the affair. She did not speak to Bond. Questioned by the prisoners, witness said she did not see them stealing the meat. ° Robert Jones Did you see me in the yard ? Witness Yes. To the Bari ch I saw the men standing close to the window. Sergeant Farrell said, that oa December 1st, about one o'clock, in consequence of information received, he went in cempany with Police-constable Pierce to make in- quiries respecting the stolen mutton. He visited the Druid Inn, and saw the prisoner Lake, who was sitting down. He asked him could he account for his movements that morning, 1.-i ao replied "Yes. I have been here all morning up te about 12 o'elock." In the meantime, witness noticed a small piece ef meat (produced) on bis coat. Also on his vest there were; small pieces of suet. He was then locked up, 811. on being charged he said he knew nothing about it. About 1.40 p.m. he apprehended the prisoner Jones, and charged him with being with Lake. As he was drunk, he did Bet charge him with t ho offence cntil uiitkt, yrhen the prisoner said What have I been doing ? I don't know anything about them." The mutto n was at the t'me en the table. Jones refused to he searched. The Clerk That will be a separate charge. Witness: I searched the Draid yard several, tim" that day, $ad failed to flat! anything. This she < that there is third party in the ma ter. Police-constable Pierce corroborated the evidenoe given by Sergeant Farrell. Naomi Davies, Bridge-jitrest, said, sko saw Robert Jones running to the stable, at about five minuter past twelve on the day in question. He- was then running from Mr Party's window, but had nothing in his possession then. Poliee-constable Howel Tones said that at a quarter to seven on Thursday he found the two legs of mutton in the manger of the Druid stable, The mail driver was with him at the time, and identified them as the property of Mr John Parry. Prisoners were then xormally charged, and elected to be dealt with summarily. Being asked whether they were guilty or not guilty, both prisoners pleaded « not guilty." They had no witnesses to eall, Replying to the Bench, Robert Joaes said that the legs were never in his possession. Lake stated that he remembered going to the Druid yard between 11 and 12 o'clock on Thursday, and went to the stable. Robert Jones accompanied him, but he was very drunk. He (LakeY them went back to the Druid, leaving Robert Jones in the stable. Mr Clovith On whose clothes waa the meat fonnd ? Sergeant Farrell: On the prisoner's, Lake, air. Lake was not drunk, and was very civil all through. He denied at the time that he had been in the stable. The Court was then cleared, and after an interval of fifteen minutes, The Mayor asked Superintendent Jones if the prisoners bad aver been found guilty of larceny or any other indictable offence in that oourt. I Superintendent Jones No, sir. The Mayor That being the case, the bench have decided to take a lenient view of the case, and not to imprison you with- out the option of a fine. You are liable to a fine of 120 each and costs, or in default three months imprisonment. But we are going to fine you only .82 and <1 68 costs each, which must be paid forthwith, or in default one month. STEALING A BOTTLB Of GIN. Robert Jones was further charged with stealing a three half pint bottle of Boyd's gin from the Farmers' Inn on the same day. R Smalley Parry, Farmers' Inn, identi. fied the label of the bottle produced as that sold by him. He did not think that any other house iu town sold the same brand of gin. Mra Parry then gave evidence to the effect that the bottle of gin was missing in the afternoon. In answer to the Bench, she said that the bottle could not be reached unless the prisoner went round the counter. Eliza Bartley, servant at the Farmers' Inn, proved that the prisoner visited the bar of the Farmers' Inn on the day in question. Sergt Farrell said that on Thursday afternoon, after arresting prisoner on the previous charge, he proceeded to search him. Prisoner refused. He told the prisoner that he was bound to be searched as he was charged with stealing, and he then took out a bottle from his pocket, put it on the floor, and jumped upon it. The fragments of the bottle were now produced in court. Witness suspected that the bottle had been stolen, and about four o'clock ascertained from Mrs Parry, the Farmers' Inn, that she sold Boyd's brand of gin. The fluid which came from the bottle smelt of gin. Prisoner, on being charged, desired to be tried summarily, and pleaded <Not guilty.' Ou being asked whether h» had any statement to make, prisoner said that he went out of the house as he went. in. The Mayor: How do you account for having the bottle in yonr possession ? Prisoner replied that he picked the bottle up in the yard when going out, and thought at the time it contained oil. The Mayor: What made you smash ,the bottle ? Prisoner: I didn't smash it, sir. The Beach sentenced him to one month's imprisonment. The Clerk then said there was another charge against prisoner, viz., of assaulting Police-constable Pierce whilst in the execution of his duty, but under the circumstances the police withdrew the charge. The Mayor: You are liable to three monthe imprisonment under this: charge, and you ought to be very thankful to the police for withdrawing it. Prisoner I am thankful, sir. B«t I know nothing about it. I DOMESTIC INSTBIilCITT. The next oase called was the adjourned case of Phoebe Margaret Jones, against her husband, In which the complainant ion. asked for a judicial separation. j The case was again adjourned xor a fortnight, for the wife's presence.

Tho man, who intended to ltave bis fun gratis, resisted, but the doctor declared ho never let-allyolia down from tlie etage itittil 110 lmd paid koinetlriiig. "Besides" eaid Mie doctor, how can 1 trtut you P You say you are a liar and liave no memory so that you will either break your promise or forget all about if;. A loud iaugli from the fuidiunce expressed their ftcqtiie^ceuce in the justice of the clttim, and the poor fool was compiled to lay down the cash. No one euppoaed lie would come again, but Ire still hoped that be might turu the tables, and preeeoted h»m»«lf at the Appointed hour. The doetot reeetved him with creak gravity, and" a4M_nog lite- audience, said; ,Goll L letu a" Utillk. -it &joke, luit I assure Llieln,on,lay. fconow ae a gentleman that it ia a very selioua affair; and I lrereby encage to return the money if the audience do not acknowledge the CHH> mid that I am fairly entitied to the reward." Thejtian sat down, furnished with a glass of water. The doctor gatitted to- the reward." Thejtian sat down, furnished with a glass of water. The doctor produced a box of flattened black pilla and to show they were perfectly huruoless offered to sWallow three or four liims«lf. He then gave one of them to the man, who, after making many wry faces, bit into it, started up, spitting, and exclaimed Why, hang me, if it Lill,t cobbler's -Yaxl" "There," said the doctor, lifting up both bauds, did anybody ever wit- ness so sudden, so mirRculoug a cure? lie is evidently cured of lying, for he has told the I truth ingtaiitly; and the memory, my good fellow, continued he, patting him on the back; "it you ever forget this, Call ou me aud I'll I retaru the luoiiey." t t THE NUISANCE OF WOMEN BARBERS. Mrs. Archibald Stang had been away from k"1' httle over half a day, when her iSr. w<w ,l|yetified at receiving a telegram «7v4 M W0*<*ed as follows; whatever you do. dou't get shaved till I return." The gelltleman could not understand the motive of the message, and it Worried h|,n Considerably. He obeyed the command blindly, but wrote for an explanation. None was vouchsafed liim, hut immediately upon receipt of the letter by his wife there came another telegram to this effect If you do get shaved I shall come Ifome at once." Like a dumul husband he obeyed the man- date,,but its purpose pushed and bothered Mm till he begsu to lose flesh. So far as he could understand there was no earthly reason wtiy be should not indulge in his long practised habit of visiting the barber stery other day, and the suspicion grew upon him ttlat the usually strong mind of his spouse was dis- integrating, or something of the kind. At length, almost driven to desperation by doubts and fenrs and a beard of two weeks growth, through which the wind did sadly sigh, he entered the train and went to his wire. The first words that greeted his anxious ears when the partner of his joys and sorrows beheld him were: Oh, darling 1 You didn't go to that liortu hussy of a woman barber, did yout" And be it recorded that Stang, busy man that he was, had not even heard that a-female tonsorittlist was operatiug ia a shop on the othor side of the street from hie office. But women always know such tlviugs. Only IP-o,videtice is aware how.

A POSITIVE REiViKDY FOR CORPULENCE. » A SPANISH COUNT KEDCCES: HIS WEIGHT 34 lb. IN 22 DAYS. Any remedy that can be suggested as a care- or alleviation for stoutness will be heartily welcomed. There has recently been issued a. well-written book, the author of which seems to know what he is talking about. It is entitled, "Corpulency, and the Cure" (256 pages), and isr a cheap issue (only threepence), published by Mr. F. C. Russelh of Woburn House, Store- street..BedCord-square, London, \V.C. It appears that Mr. 'Russell has submitted all kinds of proofs 10 the English Press. 9 The editor of the Tablet, the Catholic organ, writes Al r, Russell does not give us the slightest loophole for a doubt as to tht-VAIne of his cure, for in the most straightforward and matter-of-fact manner he submitted some hundreds of original ai--tl un- solicited testimonial letters for our perusal, and ofered us plenty more if required. Te; assist him to make his remedy known, we think vrt cannot do better than pubHsh quotations from sorre of the letters submitted. The first one, a ma. chioness, writes from Madrid-' My son, Cot nt-, has reduced his weight in twenty- two day. 16 kilos34 Another wntef- 'So far (six weeks from the commencement of following your system) I have losi fu.ly two. stonn in weight.' The next (a lady) I am just half the size.' A fourth- unci it» successful in my case. 1 have lost 8 ly. wei^v since I commenced (two weeks).' Another writes—4 A reduction of 18 lb. in a month is a, greet success.' A lady from Bournemouth writs-( I feel much better, have less difficulty in breathing* and can walk about.' Again, a lady says—'It reduced me considerably, not only in body, but allover.)I The author is very posi ive. He says—"Step on a weighing raadiine on Monday morning and again on, Tuesday, and I guarantee that you have lost 2 lb. in weight without the slightest harm, and vast improvement in health through ridding -the- system of unhealthy accumulations."
