THE ABERGELE LITIGATION )…
THE ABERGELE LITIGATION CASE. Mr C D Copley resumed his hearing as arbitrator on certain questions connected with the estate ot the late De Williams, M.A., who was headmaster of the Abergele County School. His foster father, Mr Isaac Williams, of Blythen, kept the furniture, and the svidow claimed to tho.- amount op £4.°. and £ iU damages for its detention. Mr E A Crabbu appeared for plaintiff (Mrs C A Williams), and Mr F J Garaiin represented the defendant (Mr Isaac Williams). !n the course of her re-examination, plaintiff said her husband never spent more than £100 on living, clothing, and holiday expenses 4'>ach year. Mr Gamlin contended that Dr Williams spent ail his salary. t aintiff.It was never lower than £ 240 a year. She denied that such a construction could be placed upon the conversation between her and Mr M^llward as tho latter suggested. She asserted that her husband paid ba^k all tho money defendant had advanced for the purchase of furniture, It was quite possible for the receipts on her husband's and defendant's tile to have got mixed. The blankets had been tampered with after sho lefc the house. Mr George Perkins, auctioneer, Aber- gele, deposed to taking an inventory on furniture at Blythen after Dr Williams's death. He was afterwards astonished to receive a letter from Messrs Gatnlin aad Williams threatening him with legal pro- ceedings if he again interfered with the furniture without Mr Isaac Williams's con- sent. As a matter of fact ho never touched a single article of furniture in the house. Dr Williams had often attended his sales and purchased furniture. Miss Leightoa Taskor, mistress of the girls' department of the Abergele County School, said she helped plaintiff to go through her husband's papers, and tuey destroyed a lot of printed matter which they thought was no good. Whilst they were both staying I't Blytlieu (the house where Dr and Mrs Williams lived with Mr and Mrs Isaac Williams as joint tenants) the treatment they received was not lit for a dog to endure. On more than one occasion defendant or his wife had opened the room jointly occupied by wir.neas and Mrs Williams with a duplicate key in their absence. Tire inquiry was again adjourned.

DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY GOVERNING…
DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY GOVERNING BODY. A special and geaeral meeting of the County Governing Body for Denbighshire was held at the County Hall, Denbigh, to-day, at noon. There was a long agenda before the Governors, and several matters of importauce were considered. A circular letter was recei ved from the Association of Headmasters and Headmistresses of Welsh County Schools, calling attention to a reso- lution passed by the Association to the I effect that they deplored the attempts to ¡ establish or perpetuate .a the Principality I snch higher grade or higher elementary schools as provide another system of Secondary Education in addition to that already established under the Welsh Inter- mediate Education Act. A communication was received from the Board of Education returning the deed of conveyance of the site for the new Denbigh County School. The Governors also took under con- sideration the question of making a grant to the Denbigh County School Governors for the purpose of instructing pupils in agriculture. This letter had been referred by the County Council to the County Governing Body as the County Technical Instruction Committee. I u

EHUD L> LAN. j GIFT- TO THE CHL'RCH.—Through the gener-1 osity of Mrs Fugh, Glaullyn, and Miss F.nywn, J Hylas-, some very handsomely worked book- J markers have just been presented to tho j church hero. They were much needed, i BICLF. UXTON.—Through the kindness of] Miss Buxton, Belmont, the members of this union were invited to her residence on Thurs- j day evening. There was a goodly number present. It vras intended 'hat the "gathering should be held in the open, amongst, the lovely I flowers, the bracing air, and the beauties of nature. Lntortun&tely the weather was un- favourable, so Miss Buxton, with ker usual kindness, threw open her house for the j occasion. It. has beett tlil- -,ood lady'!i cu-torii far years to invite the members to her residence to celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria 1 and to remind them how much the good aud great Queen read and valued her bible. j After the reading of the scripture and prayer, the Vicar addres,3(i those present, impressing upon them the great privilege of being ooetn- bers of the Bible Cnion. and urging them to be regular in reading the portion of scripture daily with earnest prayer. If they did that they would find how true Solomon's voids were, Ker ways are pleasantness and all her paths are peace." Several hymnsjwero sung, and the meeting concluded with a hearty vote of thanks to Miss Buxton for her kindness and for the interest she takes in this good work. THE BISHOP'S VISTT.At the Parish Church on Sunday evening last the Bishop of St Asaph was the preacher. The churcbwardens and many others had suggested to the Vicar that their chief pastor should be asked to come amongst them, sis His Lordship had not boon here for about twelve months. There was a very large congregation, nearly every available scat being occupied. There was a full choir under the leadership of Mr Edward Evans, Mr Thomas Davies ably presiding at the organ. The Te Deuni, a3 arranged by Berth-old Tours, was sung as an anthem. It, was I exceedingly well rendered, and is a very fine csmposition. The service used was Rimbault, and it was noticeable that the congregation joined heartily in the responses and in the hymns. Tite Bishop's discourse was based on I the words cf St Paul Rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them that weep." Having dwelt upon the difference between what is perfect and imperfect, His Lordship showed that it was easier to sympathise with those that weep than with those tiiat rejoice. In the former the spirit of envy and jealeusy were absent, whereas in the latter they were present as a rule. N-ery touching reference was made to the war in South Africa,, and to the spirit of self-sacrificc and love of fatherland, which animated so many of our countrymen to go j out and tight for their King and county. This Inference to the war was the more touching, as [one of the members of the choir, who was I present, had only a few weeks ago returned from the seat of war, and his widowed mother was amongst the congregation. In his con- cluaing remarks His Lordship referred in scathing words to the prevalent sins of the day. namely, the selfishness of many of the rich, the terrible curse of intemperance and the I growing vice gambling which brought ruin to so many homes. His Lorsbip's earnest and impressive discourse will not soon be forgotten by these who had the. privilege of listening to iL

THE BOER WAR.
THE BOER WAR. BIG BATTLE IN THE TRANSVAAL, HEAV R BRITISH CASUALTIES, j j THE SITUATION, Other than in connect ion with the lamentable j fight at Vlakfontein report'ed below, there is but little official news of any kind from the front. From another source, however—from Brussels, in fact—there is information that M>. Kriiger has received news that another Capr invasion has been successfully set going. It is well not to be too hasty in setting aside this rumour j because of its source, for the reports coming through Mr. Kriiger have proved on several fccaaions to be only too correct. i- THE OTBICIAL DESPATCH. The following is Lord Kitcbmur's despatch: Brigadiur-General Dixon's force at Vlakfontein j was attacked ,.n Wednesday by Debrey's forces and had severe fighting. The enemy were eventually driven 01T with heavy loss, leaving thirty-five dead on the ground. 1 rejrrct to say nur casualties were also severe. Killed and wounded numbered one hundred and seventy- four, amongst whom the following officers were killed: Captain H. M. Armstrong and Lieutenants W, H. Noke and C, Campion. all 7th Baltation Yeomanry, and Lieutenant J. P. MacDougall, Roya' iueld Anditiy. Of the Yeomanry named, the only ono in the May Army List is Lieutenant H, M. I Armstrong, who, prior to his death, was I apparently promoted. Lieutenant John Patrick 'I MacDougall, R.A., joined the army in 1895 as Second Lieutenant, and was made Lieutenant in 1898. THE VLAKFONTEIN FIGHT, I, On Tuesday afternoon the War Office issued the following despatch from Lord Kitchener: Pretoria Residency, June 4th, 7.30 am. Dixon's report just received. On our side 1,450 men and seven guns were engaged. Force wa.s returning to camp at Vlakfontein when enemy, under cover of veld lire, rushed rear- guard, consisting of two guns, 28th Battery, 250 7th Battalion Imperial Yeomanry, 100 Derby- shire liniment. They temporarily captured two guns. When remainder of force came into action I enemy were driven off and guns .recaptured and Boer position occupied. Our casualties: Six officers and 51 men killed; six officers and 115 I men wounded one officer and seven men missing. Names reported 111 several telegrams. Surgeon- Captain Francis Welford, Imperial Yeomanry, and four men since died of wounds. Forty-one iioers I ki lleÜ Oil grouwl Further Boer casualties not I known. Reinforcements are being sent. THE CASUALTY LISTS. I The casualty lists shew Officers.—Wounded: Captain R. r. Sadler, 1st Derbyshire Regiment; Lieutenant Armstrong, 1st Derbyshire Regiment: Lieutenant T. J. L. Gilson. Second Lieutenant M. B. Remington, 1st Derbyshire Regiment. Lieutenant Jotrn Symonds, Scottish Horse, wounded accidentally. Missing: Lieutenant I William Stanley Hern, Imperial Yeomanry Staff. i Rank and Ale.—The -<! file casualties list issued by the War Office shews: 1st I it- Regiment, eighteen killed, fifty-nine wounded; Yi'oinanrv,twenty-five killed, thirty-six wounded I (of the 27th Company, 48th Company, ami 89th Company), I AN ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT. A correspondent at Standerton gives the follow- ing account of the fight. He says: Delarey has I for some time been hanging on to General Dixon's column, but until Wednesday had avoided anything like a set fight. The bulk of our men were escorting a heavv con^ov into camp when they found their way barred by the enemy In positions, from which it was absolutely necessary to dislodge them, Leaving a sufficient force to protect the convoy. General Dixon sent forward the remainder of his men, well spread out in skirmishing order. They drove out the Boers from successive positions, but, while this was going on Delarey himself, with a number of VM most trusted men, made a sudden and desperate charge upon the convoy and its guard. Fierce fighting at l !c."p quarters ensued, in which Delarey took a conspicuous part and narrowly escaped being killed, but eventually the enemy were driven off, leaving numbers of dead on the ground Our men then stormed the main Boer position at the point of I the bayonet, cheering joyously as they rushed up the kopjes. The Boers did not wait for the bayonet, however, but bolted at the critical moment. Over fifty dead Boers were counted on the ground. Our loss was not excessive considering the severity of the engagement. Veld fires greatly hampered our men. Dixon's men are delighted that the enemy should thus phickily take the offensive, as they expect that more fights like last Wednesday's will result in severe punishment to the Boers and Hasten their inevitable surrender. [Ct is to he noted that this account differs materially from the description of the fight supplied by Lord Kitchener.] 0 SURRENDER OF JAMESTOWN. In addition to the despatch from Lord Kitchener describing the fight at Vlakfontein, the War Office has received from him news of the surrender of Jamestown, in the Cape Colouy, which it was known had been attacked. Apparently reinforce- ments had been sent to relieve the garrison, but arrived late. It would seem from the telegram that the town has been re-occupied by the British, but that, the Boers succeeded in getting a great haul of provisions. The fact that the Boers found themselves strong enough to carry out this coup so far south of the Orange is sig- nificant, and there will be considerable satisfac- tion that General French has been deputed to take charge of the British operations. The Cape invasion is evidently developing seriously. The foliowing is Lord Kitchener's despatch • Jamestown surrendered to Kruitzinger's com- mando on morning of 2nd. Alter four hours' lighting the town guard and local volunteers were overpowered before our pursuing columns could come up. Casualties: Three killed and *wo wounded. The Boer*' loss stated to be greater. Stores looted garrison released. lhave placed General French in charge of operations in Cane Colony. THE CAPE INVASION. The telegrams from various points in the Cape Colony confirm the belief, which has now become general in England, that anotie r Cape invasion on a fairly large scale has been undertaken by several well-known Commr .dunts. Po! at rsiistmiaustioen in the Molteno district, at James- ) town to the north of the Stormbergs, and at Willowmore. which is near the oast at the south eastern corner of the Great Karroo, have all either been attacked or threatened by strorv bodies of Boers. The attack on Willowmore was by a commando under Sche.pers, sever, hundred strong. The enemy advanced from three sides and fired right iiUo the town. The firing lasted for nine hours, and the enemy several three sides and fired right ilio the town. The firing lasted for nine hours, and the enemy several times advanced uearer the town in a determined manner with a view to pushing home their attack, but were repulsed eaeii time by the local defence forces, who behaved phickily. The Rners are known to have lost two killed and three wounded. A rebel from Cradock was also taken prisoner, but died subsequently. There is ¡i naturally much anxiety in the Coionv in conse- quence of this activity so near the coast. ¡ THE ATTACK ON A TRAIN. Details have been received at Standerton of I another desperate attempt on the part of the Boers to wreck a train on the Delagoa line. The Boer leader Hindon, led the attack. He was dressed as a. British officer, and all his followers were, like himself, dressed in khaki. Hiadon laid sixty cartridges in position on the line, and exploded' them when an approaching engine reached the spot. The driver was killed instantly, and the fireman and many others on the train were in lured. All the passengers were invalids, and belonged chiefly to the Welsh Regi- ment. Hmdon then sent seme of the Boers to the top of the train, from whence they were to fire on the occupants .fi the armoured trucks. The officers of the escort on the train made a gallant attempt to check the Boer raid, shooting all who attempted to carry off loot. The Boers were busily engaged in searching the trucks and stripping the wounded men when a shout was heard of "Fix bavonets," and the marauders, seeing that another armoured train bad now ivcû, immediately dtcampttcL ==r———====-==' t rRENCH MOTOR-CAR SMASH. 1 A terrible motor-car fatality has occurred Graville. rear Havre.

fTHE MURDER IN THE EAST-END
f THE MURDER IN THE EAST-END | Mr. Wynne E. Baxter, Coroner, resumed his J inquiry at Stepney on Tuesday into the circum- stances attending the death of Mary Ann Austin, aged twenty-eight years, the wife of a stoker, who died in the London Hospital from stabs received in a common lodging-house, 35, Dorset- street, Spitalfields. William Austin, the, husband of the murdered woman, was present in courh in the custody of two warders from Holloway Gaol. Daniel Sullivan, a waterside labourer, deposed that he occasionally took charge of the lodging- houses to his brother-in-law, ilir. Crossingham, which included 35, Dorsec-street. The witness answered the coroner's 4ue¡.¡t.ÍfHJs in such a manner that he was at last warned that he would get into trouble unless he told the truth. He then said that he went, to 35, Dorset- street, on Sunday, the 26th ult., between seven and eight o'clock. Henry Moore, the deputy, subsequently the witness to assist iu carrying a woman downstairs to a cab. This the witness did; but he had no knowledge of the reason why the woman was being removed, aiu; he was not told to take her to any particular j place. The cabman took them to 'the London *t"-pital. whvic the wiLn. o.; tlrl the porter that lie thought it was a "queer The witness went back to the lodging-house, and took 110 further steps in the matter. It was not a fact that he had been trying to prevent, witnesses from telling the truth. Three detectives called at the house on the. Sunday afternoon, and asked to be shewn the room from which the witness had taken the woman. Although reminded bv tii." coroner that the police knew nothing of the matter until the Monday, the witness maintained that the officers called on tlie Sunday and said he took them to cubicle No. 44, 011 the first floor. He admitted that lie would not be surprised to .know that injuries were not inflicted in' N'o. 44. He first heard that the woman was not injured on the first floor on Sunday. He did not tell the deputy to stick to it that the affair occurred in :\0, 44. He was not aware that the deceased's clothing had been destroyed. He did not know why site had been sent to the hospital in other people's clothing. The coroner: Personally, I Jo not believe half you have ,aid.-Tlie witness: You can please yourself. I am telling the truth.—The coroner: No, you are not. You may tind you will suffer Li.c consequences. f Maria Moon-, th« wife of the deputy at 35, Porset-stre-. t, recalled, admitted that it was not true that she took the deceased Mr-ri the man to No. 44, on tle first floor. She took them to ,No. 15, on the tiiird floor. The witness added that she had since recognised the man, and had so sworn at the police-court. The gate was opened for the lodgers to go out about 6.30; but it was not till between 8.30 and nine o'clock that Mrs. Davis told the witness that a woman had been stabbed in No. 15. She went to No. 15, but found l nothing disturbed at that time, nor did she see anv blood on the wall. The bed was blood- stained, and the woman complained of having been hurt by a man. The witness added that Sullivan fetched the woman iromfto. 15, and not from No. 44. The witness had not told the trut 11 before in order to screen Sulm-an, by prevent mo- the police from seeing the blood in'No. 15. She recognised Austin when lie walked into the waiting-room after having given his evidence — i i'lle coroner: Do you see the man now i'—The ivitnes-g (after a long stare round the court) j Yes there he is between the two policemen — Have you any doubt in your own mind at all ?— i No, sir. Frances Davis, a lodger, recalled, stated that she tcld the he about No, 44 at the instigation of the deputy Moore, who said it woujd save a lot of trouble, Henry Moore, the lodging-house deputy recalled, stated that he t^ld a iie about No 44 as Sullivan had already misled the police. The witness told ot her witnesses to make false'state- I ments about the number of the cubicle. lie did not think Austin was the guilty party. The evidence of the woman Baker, a bed- nicker, as to the condition of No. 15 cubicle ;having been given, the inquiry was a^aiu 'adjourned, the coroner remarking that the whole [afternoon had been practically wasted through che lies and mistakes of the witnesses.
