OUTBREAK OF FIRE.—A fire broke out at the house and shop, known as" Bell Shop in the occupation of Mr John Farrell, Commeroia.1 Street, on Saturday night about six o'clock. Within a few minutes of the receipt of the call, the firemen had the hose reel out and at work. The fire originated in the chimney, a quantity of burning soot falling down into the top bedroom, setting light to a chest of drawers. Some little delay was caused owing to the firemen not been able to get at the seat of the fire, and it was only after climbing to the top of the roof and putting the branch down the chimney that the outbreak was extinguished. The damage done was not great, and was principally due to the water thrown on the flames. Two MUSICAL EVENINGS were given in the Victoria Hall on Thursday and Friday by the talented Flood-Porter lady quartette. The programmes in- cluded instrumental solos, duets, and quartettee, the instruments used being the flute, piccolo, violin, Icello, pianoforte, and mandolin. Vocal selections, voaume dances, and recitations were also given. Nearly every item (including the recitations) was encored, and the compliment was well deserved.

The entertainments were of a decidedly superior and elevating character.

The Chairman, in his opening remarks, intimated that it was the intention to hold such meet- ings throughout the winter. He was very pleased to jee so -many present, but he saw a great many who ,did not, belong to the Band of Hope or the Girls' Social Union. Now he thought that if all those boya who were present would make up their minds to go to the Band of Hope and all the girls to the Social Union, it would be greatly to their benefit. The lecture, which was interesting as well as instructive, was then proceeded with, lantern views of the differ- ent places being thrown on the sheet by Mr Douglas.

On being put to the meeting the resolution was earned unanimously, and a sub-committee appointed with instructions to draw up a statement to be submitted to the conference. By making an appeal to the public, it is confidently hoped to be able to carry on the school, and this is the feeling of the majority of the managers. PENNY BANKS.—The auditors (MossrsF. Roper and G. Evans) have just issued their report on the Welshpool National Schools Penny Bank. Each school has a separate account on the Welshpool Savings Bank, and the scheme from the commence- ment has worked very successfully.

Grimaldi Davies said it gave him very great pleasure to present that testimonial to Mrs Swan, on behalf of the managers and a few friends. He trusted that she would have health and strength to continue her work at Christ Church, and hoped she would accept the presentation, not for its intrinsic value, but for the good feeling which they entertained towards her. The Revs LIew. Jones and F. H. Hawkins cordially endorsed what had been said, and the proceedings terminated with eome-songs by the children. The service was supplied by Messrs Robinson, jewellers, Broad-street.

SHOCKING DEATH AT CAERSWS WORKHOUSE. On Thursday morning a rather mysterious death occurred at the Caersws Workhouse. It appears that a man named Richard Mahoney, a tramping labourer, aged t>8, was admitted on Tuesday night. He left on Wednesday morning, but returned at night, suffering from severe pains in the stomach. He was taken into the house put to bed, and given medicine by the Doctor, who had been sent for. He was left eating his breakfast on Thursday morning, and when an old inmate went to clean the ward he found the deceased lying with his head on the hob of the fire-grate, and his shoulder on the bars. The de- ceased evidently had got up and taken off his shirt for some purpose or other, and then fallen on to the fire, for it was impossible for him to have fallen out of bed on the fire, as the bed is about four or five feet off. On Saturday morning Mr Richard Williams, coroner, and a jury, of whom Mr D. K. Thomas was foreman, held an inquest on deceased at the Union, when the following evidence was taken. Mr A. R. Breese, master of the house, said that the deceased was admitted as a casual pauper at ten minutes past seven on Tuesday evening, giving the name of Richard Mahoney, and stating that he was a labourer, and 68 years of age. He had recognised the deceased as having been there before. He had been in the house on Tuesday night, and took his discharge on Wednesday morning, but made no com- plaint of being ill. When he came in on Wednesday evening he complained of great pain in the stomach. The Doctor was sent for and he attended him, leav- ing him medicine. He was removed to the receiving ward, and put in bed. Witness, with the assistance of the nurse, placed a poultice on his stomach, and gave him the medicine. He Saw the deceased at live o'clock the next morning, when he gave him another dose of medi- cine. He complained of being cold. That was the last time witness saw him alive. There was a guardin front of the fire but it was not securtly fastened. At 8-10 on Thursday morn. ing he went to the receiving ward on hearing Charles Evans calling, and found the deceased lying naked on the tloor, aad quite dead, within a foot of the grate. He was so near the fire that his left shoulder was smoking. Witness re- moved him and sent Evans for the doctor who emme.-By a Juryman What did he receive -to eat on Wednesday morn- ing ? He received the regulation amount of eight ounces of bread. On coming in at night he had some gruel.—By a Juryman The fire was reimwefl about a foot from the fire. —John Evans, taskmaster, deposed that he pnt Richard Mahoney in bed on Wednesday night. He did not complaiu of any particular pain, but groaned a great deal. He saw him after the Doctor left, and made a fire and put the guard on, but did not lock it. About 7-45 on,the next morning he made up the fire, but did aot put the guard on. Witness left deceased eating his breakfast. MttUNi flHH Charles Evans, inmate of the Workhouse, said that a little .after eight on Thursday morning he received instructions from the Master to go and clean the ward where the deceased was. When he went in he found a man lying on the floor with his head on the hob of the grate, and his left shoulder against the bars burning, He seemed to be quite dead. Witness at once removed him from the tire, and laid him on the floor. He never made a noise, or gave any sign of life. The fire guard was on one side, about half-a-yard from the fire. When witness found the deceased his clothes were lying feacide the bed.—Dr Campbell, medical officer of the Work- ho'ise, deposed that on Wednesday he was called to see the deceased about nine o'clock. He was complaining of severe pain in the bowels, which he said had «ame on on the fore- pain in the bowels, which he said had oame on on the fore- nootl of that day, and had become werse towards evening. He was vomiting, but there was evidently nothing in his øh to come up, and witness came to the conclusion that he was.suffering from diarrhoea, which was caused by his having, eaten some indigestible substance. Witness ordered a hot pwltice to be administered to his stomach and gave Mr Breese some jnedicine to give him. He tkenjeft him, for the I ni%,ht, aud was flailed about 8-30 next morning, and found him lying .en. the floor dead. He was still warm, .and had probably lbeen dead about half an hour. Witness then observed that he had been badly burned on the left shoulder and neck, and also that there were two bruises ou the left temple and side. On inquiry he was told that the deceased said he was better about eight o'clock on the previous night. About eis. hours after death witness made a post-mortem examination, and found that he was a very badly-nourished man, and looked starved for want of food. He examined the burn on the shoulder, and came to the conclusion that -it was caused after death. He examined all the organs at the body, and found that the heart was in a diseased condition anci ;somewhat enlarged, and one of the important valves of tJaø eart was diseased, the lungs were in a healthy condition, fcut showed traces of old disease. bnt nothing recent. The liver and kidneys were fairly healthy, but the stomach was almost empty, and ,the bowels were also empty, but distended with wind. There were no signs of any acute disease of the bowels, but there were signs of very old inflammation of one rtaftheboweli;. He examined the brain, and found it per- fectly Wealthy. He attributed death, aensidering the state of his heart, due to an attack of syncope, and was not attri- butable directly to the buriis, bnt possihiy the shock from burning might have prevented him reoovering from an attack of *yncope or fainting. The Coroner, in summing up, said that wfcen an accident ,of this kind faappened in a public institution strict inquiries were always made to see whether death was to be attributed to accident, or whether anyone was to blame. In order to see whether the burns had any effeeton death he had ordered the doctor to make a post-irwrtem examination on the body of the deceased, aud they could see from the doctor's evi- dence that death was not directly due to the burns, but to syn. cope or failure of the heart's action, brought about by the feeble and impoverished condition of the man. He was evi- veris dently in the last stages of weakness before he came in the workhouse. BM ■ —- A verdict that death was due to syncope or failure of the action of the heart" was returned, and the jury added a rider to the effect that more care should be taken in future iq locking the guards before gw fte.

THE LATJI: Mr. ABRAHAM HOWELL.-The Mayor, addressing the general public, said he thought they would realise, as the Brnch did, the great lose the neighbourhood had sustained through the death of Mr Abraham Howell. He need hardly mention to them the great length of time the late Mr Howell was connected with Welshpool, aT;d how very effi. ciently he discharged his duties in different capaci- ties. Mr Howell had left a permanent memorial of his kind feelings to the Corporation in the handsome present of Mayoral robes and the chain of office which he made to them. He was sure they all felt that he would be very much missed amongst them. His long life and active conduct in thp different de- partments of his profession and in connection with different matters connected with Welshpool entitled, him to one of the foremost places in the affection and esteem of the inhabitants. He would now propose a vote of condolence with the bereaved family.- Mr D. P. Oyen said that Voltaire had said that words were given to men to enable them to disguise their thoughts, bat he should only be pleased that morning if woids were given to him to express his thoughts. Since his childhood ho had known Mr Howell, who succeeded his father in the Mayorality. As regarded himself being Mayor, he could speak without the slightest hesitation of the great assist- ance Mr Howell had rendered him during his term of office, and of the warmest interest he had always taken in the town of his adoption. The Mayor had referred to the handsome present to the Corporation, and he thought there was no harm in relating to them the circumstances under which it was given. Mr Howell told him (Mr Owen) when he was retiring from the Corporation that he should also like to mark his feelings of respect and regard for that body, either by their coming to Rhiewport and having dinner with him, or by his giving them Mayoral robes and a chain of office. He (Mr Owen) told him that his kindness was excessive, but that a dinner ate was a dinner forgot, but the robes and chain of office would be a perpetual remembrance of him. Mr Howell nicely received the suggestion, hence they now had a lasting memorial of his worth. It was a melancholy pleasure on his part, having been intimately connected with Mr Howell in public and private maltai-s, to have to second the vote of condolence with Mr Howell's family. Mr W. Rogers said he could not allow the vote to be passed witnout adding a few words. He was sore he quite sympathised with Mr Howell's family in their bereavement, and he could fully concur with all tbat had keen previou-ly said. In Mr Abraham Howell they had lost a very sincere friend, one who was al- ways first and foremost in everything appertaining to the interests of Welshpool, and one who was ready at all times to assist them. He had been personally acquainted with him for the last thirty five years, and he could testify to the sincere desire he had for the welfare of Welahpool. The motion was then agreed to. LLANFAIR CA.EREINION,—SATURDAY. Before Rev Samuel Reed, Thomst4 Watkins, and Thomas J. Hounsfield, Esq. Deputy C.C. Crowden was also present. THE LATE MR A.

I Sir,—I owe an ecology to the public of Newtown and neighbourhood for not performing my promise of deliveting a lecture on Asylum Life," as adver- tised in your advertising celumns. The reason may be known to yourself and a few more of the good people of Newtown. It has proceeded from a malady known to the faculty as angusta resdomi, vulgo want of cash." It was intimated to me that a person aspiring to address an audience at the Public Rooms must be prepared to pay "in advance," the sums amounting in the aggregate to X2; and this, I am sorry to say, I was not prepared to do, neither was I fortunate enough to possess a friend who would be disposed to help me out of the difficulty. You, sir, will be able to recall a sentence in the Latin Delectus, Donee eris felix, multos numerabis amicos. As you, Mr Editor, have come more recently from under the dispensation of the pedagogue's birch rod. I I leave you to supply, as a foot-note, the remaining | line of the hexameter and pentameter lines. I will conclude by saying that I am almost reduced to the position of that gentleman who is thus described :— Vacuus viator coram latrone cantat, but, Deo volente, I will, very soon, perform my promise to the good peo- ple of Newtown and neighbourhood. I have to thank you, Mr Editor, for your kind offer of co-operation in inaugurating the series of lectureit which I am about delivering.—I am, sir, yours very truly, EVAN JENKINS.

Sir,—In the Coanty Council debate on this subject you report the Vice-Chairman to have said-u They (the clergy) were doubtless very immaculate people —(load laughter)—but they had a knack of putting one off when the map was required for examination, or it was not convenient, and they soon got put out (laughter). They (the clergy) charge enormous (loud laughter). They have so much for every year until they make it come up to the value of the tithe itself (renewed laughter). I know it from experience They are worse than a lawyer (further laughter)." These remarks were uttered either in jest or in earnest. If in jest, the garb of a clown would suit his next appearance and enhance the mirth of the Council. But if he intended to speak seriously, I chal- lenge him to substantiate the sweeping accusations against the clergy as a body. He first charges us wit.h intentional obstruction of the inspection of the tithe map by the laity; and, secondly, with exacting exorbitant fees equal in value to the tit3e itsalf. The exquisita taste of making these statements where no rapacious or rude parson was present to contradict them, harmonises with his gentlemanly demeanour. I am sure that the clergy never treat the laity un- courteously when applied to with the civility gener- ally accorded; while instances might be cited of fre- quent inspection of the maps free of charge when requested for matters of curiosity. His second accu- sation of enormous charge for examination is an obvious absurdity. In what manner the ordinary and reasonable fee of half-a-crown can be multiplied so as to equal the tithe itself, I leave to the extra- ordhnry arithmetic of the Vice-Chairman. Allow me to say that the parish map and tithe apportion. ment were made, when the commutation of the tithes took place. They are simply a delineation of the lands subject to the rent-charge, and were not made for any other purpose. They constitute the only I legal security for the property of the tithe-owner, and, therefore, he has as much right to their custody as the Vice-Chairman has to the deeds which secure to him his private property. Surely, under these circumstances, the laity ought not to wince if half-a- crown is demanded for satisfying them on some pri- vate purpose. Moreover, in several parishes, as in Kerry, the map is kept by the parish clerk as a matter of convenience, and he (not the parson) re- ceives the fee. But any stick will do to beat a dog with," thinks the Vioe-Chairman, and he libels with indiscrimination in order to provoke the mer- riment of a public meeting at the expense of the clergy. With such rubbish is the valuable time of the Council consumed!—I am, Sir, your obedient ser- vant, OWEN A. NARES. Kerry, Montgomeryshire, Nov. 22, 1893. DANCING CLASSES IN WELSHPOOL. To the Editor of the Montgomeryshire Express and Radnor Times. Sir.—Recently a dancing class has been formed here by certain parties connected with trade, which they were fully justified in doing, but unfortunately a most uncalled for invective has been indulged in prohibiting shop assistants of the town from being eligible as members, and these unnecessary reflections have been made by certain individuals who, had they reflected, would have perceived were made with the worst possible bad taste. Happily the assistants have their own class thoroughly established, And had no desire to amalga- mate, knowing that it has flourished owing to the efficiency of its members, and at their recent "Cinderella" invited the former to attend, which most of them did, and appeared to enjoy themselves. This supposed select class also gave a "Cinderella" last week, but completely ignored the assistants, so much so that one or two supercilious, but not over intellectual, members of the committee tonderel their resignations forthwith, should the invitations be extended, although they had previously accepted the invitations of the other class. Whatever may be said about this absurd invidious distinction. which may inevitably prove antagonistic to that generous and kindly feeling which should now prevail more than ever in these times of general depression, the town assistants, mostly speaking, have the gratification of knowing that they are the sons and daughters of respectable farmers and trades- men ,who have always paid their way. Thanking you in anticipation of inserting this,-I remain, yours, &c., AN ASSISTANT. Welshpool, Nov. 24th, 1893. THE USE OF WINE AT THE HOLY COMMUNION. To the Editor of the Montgomeryshire Express and Radnor Times. Sir,—I should like to say a few words on the two letters of last week concerning myself. To "Anxious Inquirer" I can only say I regret I expressed myself so badly. I meant that, putting aside as it were any Church feeling I might have, I spoke as a simple reader of the bible might do whose only object was to arrive at the truth. Need I say I hold firmly that Church doctrine is bible truth. As to Protestant," am I to understand from him that there are two words for wine in the Hebrew or Greek Scriptures, one which invariably signifies a non-intoxicating drink, and the other an intoxicating one? If so, would he kindly name them ? Am I also to understand that where St. Paul says in I Cor. xi, 21, "and another is drunken," he refers solely to the sin of gluttony, and not of drunkenness." He says that the majority of commentators state this. If so I am unfortunate in possessing none of their com- mentaries, though I am aware some do say something of the kind-but wh.) r-Truly your5), E. A. FISHBOURNE. 25th Nov., 1893,

The Burial Board of Nuneaton, having made an addition to the oemetery, applied to the Bishop of Worcester to consecrate it. He declined, but ex- Eressed his willingness to dedicate which would ave established a precedent in the case of oeme- teries provided the Burial Acts, as distinct from those formed under" Marten's Act." Under pres- sure from the Chairman of the Board, however, the Bishop was induced to give way so far as to agree that his Suffragan (Bishop Mitchinson) should per. form the consecration rite.

Altogether the prospect looked well for a successful show. SHREWSBURY CORN MAAKET, SATURDAY.—The weather of the past week has been seasonable, and good progress has been made with out-door work.— Wheat has met with a quiet trade, and former prices have been barely supported. Fine barley has remained unchanged in value, but common qualities have been dull at lower rates. Oats have been steady. No change has taken place in flour.- A good demand has been experienced for offals, and millers have been firm in their demands. Our market here to-day was thinly attended, and with a bad light business was restricted.—Quotations.— White wheat 4s 2d to 49 4d per 751bs red wheat 4s Od to 43 2d per 75lbs; barley 4a 3d to 5s 3d per 701bs oats 1211 6d to 15s Od per 2251bs; peas 12s 6d to 13. 6d per 2251bs; beans 1511 Od to 16. 6d per 2401bl.- W.

NEWTOWN v. LLANIDLOES. These two teams met on Saturday at Llanidloes tO play a friendly match. The weather and the ground were shookiug, a boisterous wind blowing from goal to goal and carrying with it a heavy down pour of rain. Llanidloes won the toss, and decided tv play with the wiud in their favour. It was not unnatura« • to expect rather a rough game, but nothing of the sort took place; whether the presence of Mr Geo. H. Jones, of Shrewsbury, who was sent up by the Welsh Association, had a modifying effect or not apleasanter* game never took place. The play was even through- out the first half. but both teams were at a disadvan- tage owing to the slippery atita of the ground. Llanidloes ought to have soored on several occaesione • but they shot erratically, which is one of their bad points. The rain rendered itimpossible to take notes, but both teams played in firat-clasa style, and the game of football with spirit. At half time neither team had scored, but immediately on restarting, the home oentre, D. Jones, broke away and registered the' first goal fok Llanidloes. This put Newtown on their mettle, and in lees than seven minutes they scored three goals. The first goal was put in by A. W. Pryce-Jones from a beautiful centre by Parry, the Second was put through by W. E. Pryoe-Jones from a oentre by the same player, while the last was by Morgan, who made a splendid shot. Thus the game ended. After the match the players were kindly entertained to a meat tea at the Lion Hotel: I
