I CONNAH'S QUAY & SHOTTON. RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION.-Afthough at first the idea of forming a Ratepayers' Asso- ciation for Connah's Quay caused sotao commo- tion among a few of tho older inhabitants, it has become an accomplished fact, and promises to become an important factor in the district. A large number of the rc?ide?ts have handed in their names to the secretary (Mr. W. Ccl??' pack), and it is expected' shortly that something tangible will bo done to lessen the grievance's and prevent the increase of expenditure in mat- ters to whioh tl-o- public object LABOURER'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH. On Monday morning, whilo Mr. W. Roberts, of Kelsterton, near Flint, was walking through the Fron Woods, Connah's Quay, he came across the dead body of a man Jying face downwards in the lower part, of t,he woods near the old bridge. He immediately called the attention of Dr. Whittome, who was riding by at the time, and on examination it was found that deceased had been dead some hours. Sorgt. Hill and P.C. Ghestcrs were afterwards summoned to the spot, and removed the body, which proved to be that of Thomas Jones, a farm labourer, latterly em- ployed on the farm of Mr. Hughes, Northop The inquest was held on Tuesday afternoon by Mr John Robert Jones, the deputy coroner, at Top-y-Fron Farm, Kelsterton. The first wit- ness called was John Jones, farm labourer, and nephew of deceased, who deposed that Jones was 56 years of age, and was employed as a farm labourer. Ho last saw him on the 25th of August, between six and seven a.m., when he left for the purpose of going to work at Tyn y Coed Farm. Northop. He did not hear any- thing more of him until his body was recovered in Fron Wood the previous morning. The dp- ceased was in the habit of going away for weeks together without let-ting anyone know where he was going.—Thomas Thellwell, farm labourer, of Tyn-y-Coed Farm, said he was with deceased on Saturday, August 25th. until 10 p.m. at the Red Lion public-house, Northop. Deceased was far in drink at the time. and he (witness) told him to be careful when ho wished him good- night. Deceased then went towards his house. —Edward Henry Roberts, a groom and coach- man in the employment of Mr. Charlton, said about eleven o'clock on the previous morning he was going through Fron Wood for the pur- pose of fetching some pegs. He noticed some- thing lying in the brook, which at first he thought was a bag, but on closer examinafi-oil he found it was the body of a man. He informed Dr. Whittomo, who happened to be passing at the time. Sergt. Walter Hill and P.C. Chester? also came, and bad the body removed to Fron Farm.—Dr. Wliittome deposed to being calicd to the place by the last witness, when he found the deceased lying on the right side of his face in about three inches of water, with his feet against the bank. The body was in a terribly bad state of decomposition, and in his opin oii the man bad been dead seven or eight days Tluere wore oonsiderlablo injuries about the head, face a.nd wrist.—The jury, of whom Mr Tom Williams was ohosen foreman, returned a verdict of 'Accidental death." THE DRAINAGE SCHEME-The drainage scheme that the Hawarden Rural District Conn oil are oarrying out in the districts of Hawarden, Sandyeroft, Queen's Ferry and Shot-ton is being rapidly pushed forward. In t.he paist the important distriot of Shotton has had practically no adequate means for dealing with the sanitary conditions of the district, andpheri ornenal as the development of Shotton has been during the past seven years, there is not the least doubt that, had there been in existence a thorough scheme of drainage, the growth would have been much more marked and rapid. There is every prospect that when the present scheme is completed the inhabitants will not only enjoy improved sanitary conditions, which is impossiHe art present, but that a large quantity of land suitable for building purposes will come into the market, and that in course of time this will certainly be built upon. At present there is not an empty residence in the district, and with tho continued expansion of that. suocessful industry, Messrs. Summers', Hawarden Bridge Works, on tho oppos-itc side of the Dee. more workmen will be employed. This will tend to largely increase the population of Shotton, as it is in close proximity to the works. At the present time large numbers of the workmen journey to Fknt morning and evening, they presumably being unable to secure houses in the immediate district. The Education Com- mittee of the county have already made addi- tional provision for the rising generation by increased school aooomrnodation, a Large tem- porary school having been erected at Shotton, and a fine mixed school is in course of erection at Queen's Ferry. Judging from the trend of events, this once small hamlet on the banks of the. Doe bids fair to become a place of con siderable importance. STACK FIRE.—On Saturday afternoon two valuable stacks of hay, belonging to Mr. W. Hughea butcher, of Shotton, and situated in Shotton-lane, were totally destroyed by fire. The Shot-ton Fire Brigade were summoned, and P.C. Tealo and Mr. John Garratt soon arrived 0;1 the soene with a hoso and stand-pipe, but their services were of no avail, art no hydrant could be found to get the water from. Every effort was made to save tho stacks by many willing hands, but they were powerless to pre- vent their destruction. It is supposed the fire originated through spontaneous combustion. FISH AND RIVER POLLUTION.—The salmon fishery eason, which closed on Friday night last, so far as the local fishermen are con- cerned, has proved fairly successful. Owing to the unprofitable and uncertain nature of the employment during the past few years, a con- siderable number of the ifshermen that had regularly taken out liceiiekvg for many years did not do so this season, and on the whole there were fower men engaged in this summer em- ployment. During the months of April and May the ifshermen, using both trammel and draft note, did very badly indeed, and there was a marked scarcity of fish both in the lower and upper reaches of the river. With the advent of June, and during the early portion of July, there was a, decided improvement in the fishery, and salmon came up the river in large numbers, and on occasions extremely good catches were made. All the fishermen during this period found the employment profitab!e, as very good prioes for the fish were obtainable, quotations at no time being below Is. per pound. About the middle of July the fishery commenced to de- teriorate, but the men up to the last had every hope that luck would improve as the season drew to a close. Their hopes, however, were not

THORNTON HOUGH. I LADY'S CYCLING MISHAP. Miss Cooper, a lady living in Park-street, Neston, sustained serious injuries while cycling down the hill in Thornton Hough village on Friday evening. She had stopped to light up, and was riding down the hill at a moderate rate when several youths, who were gathered by a shop window, ran directly into her track and brought her violently to the ground. On being assisted into the shop, it was found that her face was badly cut and bruised, and she sustained other severe bruises about the body. Her inj uries were very kindly attended to by the shopkeeper, and with considerable difficulty she afterwards made her way home. Miss Cooper is of opinion that she was wilfully thrown from her cycle, as the youths could not have failed to see her approach. realised, and August proved very disappointing to the fishermen. One fact stands out clearly, and that is that the Dee does not yield the same quantity of ealmon as it did some fifteen or twenty years ago. At that time it was no uncommon sight to see the fishermen staggering under heavily-laden bags of fish, and this tide after tide. It is now a rare occurrence to see throughout the season what is usually described by the fishermen as "a good haul." Many old fishermen here have no hesitation in stating that the serious decline in the fishery in recent years is due to no other cause than that of the pollution of the river, and until some means are adopted to prevent this pollution at various points on the river they unhesitatingly assert that- each successive season will surely see a serious diminution in the number of fish taken from the river. STREET HAWKING.-A reader writes:- "Much comment is being made on the above subject, owing to the appearance of several let- ters in the columns of a contemporary. What- ever complaints residents may have, there are difficulties which present themselves that re- quire great consideration in dealing with such matters. One cannot but admit that the increase of hawkers into the district is detrimental to the best interests of the shopkeepers, who are the ratepayers, and in some cases contribute largely to the receipts of local taxation. Some of tho arguments in favour of the hawker are feasible enough, yet if they have a rambling commission, which reduces expenditure and allows them to retail at kiss than the ordinary shopkeeper can afford to do, it places the latter in rather an awkward prodicamcnt. Rents, rates and other taxes in Connah's Quay at the present time are unusually heavy, a-nd there is no prospect of any decrease while the local authorities advocate schemes of improvement at the oxpenso of the ratepayer. Until some pro- vision is made in the erection of a public mar- ket hall, it is impossible to exclude any hawker from retailing his wares. This vital question waa brought before the notice of the Urban Dis. trict Council some tim-e ago, but was shelved to consider the erection of municipal buildings and a market place. The complaints respecting unnecessary noise and nuisance caused by cer- tain hawkers should be icmedied and if rumours are correct, it is understood that tho police have this matter in hand, and will remedy same at the first available opportunity." ACCIDENT TO A CYCLIST.—A serious accident has befallen Mr. Joseph Cooper. of Connah's Quay. While cycling home from Moid Cycle Carnival, Cooper, together with a num- ber of his companions, had reached the hill leading into Northop, when by some means he either lost control of his machine or fainted, and was thrown headlong over the handlebars, sustaining concussion of the brain. A lady cyclist following cloec behind witnessed the oc- currence, and in applying both brakes to Irl-op her machine to render assistance, she was thrown off, but capcd with slight bruises. On ex- amination it was found that Cooper was uncon- scious, and, seeing that the hour was so late, a conveyance being close at hand, he was brought home, where he lies in a serious con dition. Great praise is due to Misis Jonet;, the lady who assisted in removing Oo-oper to the side of the road. She was just in time to save his being run over and killed by the mail. LOCAL WEDDING.-Tlie marriage of the Rev. R. Cecil Roberts, B.A., second son of the late Mr. John Roberts, Glasgow House, Cbnnah's Quay, to Miss Nora Sproxton, B.A., was solemnised on Wednesday at St. James's Presbyterian Church, Wocd Green, London. The officiating minister was the Rev. David Fyffe, M.A., of Willesden, assisted by the Rev. Henry Martin, M.A., of Crouch Hill.

They all wore white lace hats, trimmed with hydrangea, also gold bangles, and carried bouquets of pink car- nations, tho two latter being the gifts of the bridegroom. Mr. T. M. Roberts (brother of the bridegroom) acted as best man. Mr. J. Saundry Corin, of Clapham (cousin of the bride- groom) officiated at the organ, and rendered the "Bridal March" from Lohengrin, as the bride entered the church, and Mendelssohn's "Wed- ding March" as the party left. After the cere- mony a reception was held by Mrs. Sproxton at Uplands, Wood Green, when the following were among the invited guests:—Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

NOVEL RAILWAY STATIOX-On Satur- day morning there was 'opened to the public a new station at Rhosymedre, on the Great Western system, between Shrewsbury and Chester. There was a rush of passengers for the first train. Six trains each way will stop daily at the new station, which will be a great convenience to at least 3,000 residents in the locality. One curious feature of the Istation is that it will have no officials. The guard of each stopping train will perform the duties of stationmaster, booking clerk, ticket collector and porter. STREET BETTING.-On Tuesday, at Wrex- ham, Samuel Leach, of 48, Manlcy-road, Wrexham, was charged at the instance of Inspector Tippett with street betting.

TAR YIN". j I HE CONDITION OF MR. W. HIGGIN- SON.—We are pleased to say that Mr. Higgin- son, who successfully underwent an operation at tho Infirmary, Chester, is progressing as well as can be expected. CHOIR TRIP.—The Wesleyan choir went on their trip on Wednesday, when they visited Blackpool. Leaving about 6.30 a.m., the party reached their destination in good time, and the conditions being favourable, a most enjoyable day was spent. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES-Anniversary services were held in the Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday, when two sermons were preached by the Rev. J. R. Langstaff, the newly-appointed minister to the circuit, whose discourses were much appreciated. The collections were satis- factory. ILLNESS OF THE REV. J H. WILCOCK- SON.—The congregation assembled at St. An- drew s Church on Sunday evening were dis- persed without a service in consequence of the Vioa.r being compelled at the last moment to leave the church and summon medical assistance from Dr. Moreton.

DOUBLE ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday two men, one named Joseph Vernon, and the other an Irishman whose name did not transpire, were engaclcd topping up a stack at Stapleford Hall farmyard when by some means they both fell and sustained injuries. Vernon's wrist was badly sprained, and he was otherwise badly bruised and suffering from shock. The Irish- man received a broken wrist, and was badly s haken. Both are under the care of Dr. T. W. E. Moreton. RURAL NOTES.—Thanks to the ideal weather the corn harvest is about oomplete. The crop is a good one, the straw long and good, and the ear well filled. Roots promise well, though ram is wanted badly, both for Toots and grass land. The fruit crop, as regards stone fruit, plums and damsons, is a failure throughout the district. Pears in some orchards aire a poor show, while other growers in shel- tered places have been more fortunate. Apples, taken all round, are fairly good both as regaros quantity and quality. PRIMITIVE METHODISM.—The quarter- ly meeting of the churches comprising the Ches- ter third circuit of the Primitive Methodist Connexion, took plaice at Tarvin on Saturday. The Rev. W. Thomley presided, and representa- tives were present from each place. The re- port as read was very enocuraging. There had bee.n an increase of ten in membership during the three months. The Sunday sohools a.To in a prosperous condition, and Tarvin reports an increase of fourteen scholars. The Rev. W. Thornley, who is in his third yea;r of ministerial labour in the circuit, had given an intimation that he would resign his pastorate, to take effect on July, 1907, and would seek superannuation. He was unanimously invited to continue his labours for a fourth year- Mr. Thornley thanked the brethren for the invitation, and before giv- ing his decision, he asked to be allowed to oon- sult his family. This was acceded to,

If I FRODSHAM. I STRANGE NESTING PLACE.-One of the curious vagaries of birds in choosing a site for their nest has been exemplified this summer by a plucky pair of marlens. which have 1 iter all y rushed into the enemy's camp by choosing the nside lcdg4p over the chief door of the Frod- sham Endcwc-d for their abode. The ledge could with moderate ease be rc-ached 11y a goodly number of the 300 boys who pa- daily on their way to and from school. How- ever. tho daring policy of the feat-foeied family has succeeded, as at the present time there are four juvenile members of the marten tribe peep- ing over the nest, apparently oblivious of the possible danger which might accrue from the scholars.
