',>; OPENING Of A NEW ORGAN AT v CARN"V" c, po. "For some yeara past cur treads at Mo.'iah j Chapel, Carnarvon, have worthily celebrated St.! David'eDay with a oonvereaziuoe and concert hald more particularly under the auspices of the liter- ary society connected with the place. But thu wear such celebration took another and a more im- portant form. Tuesday witnessed a most interest- ing event in the histcry of this flourishing and well-ktown Citviristic Methodist Church. Another magnificent organ completes the number of four -which have beoa introduced into Nonconformist 7places of worship in this town daring the past few jm a, and the cry is More to come," for we fiad tlat the oldest church in the town, viz., Pendief, is bestirring itself towards securiog a similar boon. With these valuable auxiliaries, congregational .aoina mAv Via tiDflcted to attain the highest atandaid of excellence in Carnarvon. The church at Moriab. tbe destinies of which have been guided by the Rev Evan Jones for such a long periCd, a leading position i& tbe denomination wit a whieb its is identified. Numerically and otherwise is has been a great power, not only in the town but in the district generally, while the chapel isjone of, if not the largest in North Wales. Spaiioua as the chapel and the buildings attached to it were, there was a growing demand for in- creased accommodation, and when the question came to be coria:,dited, juggestioes which had not previously lain on the snrface were made and cheerfully taken up with the result that an expense of something like t4000 has been incurred. The chapel has b en renovated throughout, a grand organ of the value of 21200 has been built, and commodious buildings have been added at the taes of the chapel by means of which as many as Üle3 or four largely attended meetings of a differ- ent charter may be carriei on simtiltaneously. Pattisnlavs respecting the ehapel are hardly motonnnrj. is the important position it has occupied ftnong the Calvinisttc Methodist churches of North Wales b well known to our readers. The sacred edifice commands a prominent site fronting Soath PenraBt, and stands really on a cliff. From South Pe'i'rallt, the premises extend to Pool side, and are 736 feet in length, having a fall of 29 feet. The worics which have bean in progress for the last tea months compriseTbe bailding of a new schoolroom, classrooms, vestry roem, chapel keepers house, organ chamber, 4s. The chapel, which has a seating accommodation for 1200, and is classic in style of architecture, has been reo Bovated. The additional panels to ceiling and the iatfodackioa of tha massive Corinthian pilasters to aide walls, dividing the same into bays, have un- doubtedly greatly improved the appearance of the IwriJdiog. The new organ chamber, which is behind the pulpit, is 19 x 16 x 21 feet high inside, and extends from chapel to schoolroom. It presents • somewhat novel idea, for instead of having one opeulng, it has been divided into three by massive and well proportiotel pifrJ, adorned by Corinth- ian pilasters which support an elaborate entabla- ture* and this, along with the well-arranged and profusely carved choir gallery, greatly enhances fthe appearance of the chapel- lo^ the basement noderoeath there is a veritable labyrinth of rooms. Spacious classrooms or lecture rooms have been formed, capable of seating 200 persons, and on this level is the new schoolroom, chapel keeper's house, libraty, &c. The schoolroom measures 56 feet by 33,.or 74 feet including all the schoolroom, which hah a small platform at one end,the accommodation being for abaut 35 persons. There are three entrances, with all available precautions in case of panic. The interior is furnished with a beautiful pitch pine dado, and a handsome and effective panelled waggon-shaped ceiling, with hammer beam tafters apring-iog from nicely arranged pillars. The schoolroom is well lighted by lofty windows on both sides; the keeper's house at- tacked, with its various offices, has been most coiwerieatly arranged; the kitchen with its boilers and booking apparatus could not havil been better yiyaH for dinners and tea parties. Under the achflolroom, on Pool side level, are four warehouses, which are, in case of fire, disconnected from the schoolroom above by fire proof flooring. The heating is -to be accomplished by means of hot water pipes; the vfentilatioa by inlet freah air in uptight currents, and the extraction of the foul air feyjueaus of Messrs Boyle end Son's latest im- proved self-acting air pump ventilator. The ehapel and sehoolroom is lighted with Stott Thorps Reflex light. The decorations .'of the dispel have been beautifully carried out. The Ai$Wbaumot colour-a has been carried out with remarkably good taste, being thoroughly artistic without being showy, and attractive with- out lending to any particular portion of the chapel saint at undue conspicuity. The whole arrange- mejjtdisplayB careful attention to the minutest m&e.t ork has been oarried out from the plans hnd specificatioDSand personal supervision of Mr Rowland Lloyd Jones, architect, 11, Market atrffct^ Carnarvon, who, by dint of hard work and eoasciVntious devotion to Aty, is rapidly making {oc. himself a name in the profession. Mr Owen Mettia has also, as contractor, done full jastice to Ja18 work, while the subcontracts let to Mr W. O. Williams and Mr Et. E. Roberts have been satis- factorily carried out. The clerk of the works was Mf, Qwen Williams, St David's road. As already stated the organ is from the factory of the world-renowned builders, Messrs Hill and 1.. and was erected trader the superintendence Gf Mr J. H. Roberts, Mus. Bao, whose services in si similar capacity have been in requisition on peroral other occasions at Carnarvon. It may be remarked that the workmanship of the organ is of jlfrf finest and most artistic in every detail. It is blown by one of the ViiildeW hydraulic engines, srifioh may be placed under immediate control by anus of .a pneumatic starter fixed at the key board.

THE YEAR 1892. We take the following from The Hundred Year Almanack," a European publication held in the highest repute for very many years all over' the Continent on account of its almost marvellous gift of correctly predicting the coming seasons, and what may be expected to accompany them:— Venus will be the evening star for the year 1892. The year will be a more moist than dry one. A beautiful and late spring will be followed by a warm, sultry summer, which will produce lots of good grass and grain. The autumn wilf at first 03 warm and pleasant, but only for a short time, and it will be most essential in wine-grow- iug countries that the vineyards be covered in time. A good wine crop may be expected in most districts." There will be an abundance of vermin, such as toads, locusts, mice." Diseases of the kidneys. liver, and stomach, as well as pain in the side and internal ulcers, will be prevalent daring the yeir 1892.1" As we have said, this almanack has proved itself to be very correct, and particularly so with regard to foretelling the approach of diseases of the human body. Persons who are predisposed to disorders of the kidneys, l ve-, and stomach. general debility and-an impure condition of the blood; in fact, all persons are earnestly advised not to wait until these expected diseases have established themselves in the system but to guard against them in time. Especially should this be done before Spring has set in—a period or:the year when the body is extremely susceptible tc dis- eases. There is no remedy equal to Wamer's SAFE Cure for this purpose. It purifies the blood and tones up the system, and a course of it will effectually remove all danger from prevalent disorders. This is not a mere assertion. It is a fact that thousands upon thousands can vouch for. Aek your friends and neighbours about it.

ANGLESEY COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION. Tory Tactics. The nomination of candidates for seats on the Anglesey County Council took place on Friday, when, out of the 42 members of the Council, 26 Liberals and 3 Conservatives were returned no; opposed. The districts where there are con tests are one ward at Holyhead, two wards at Amlwcb, the divisions of Valley, Aberffraw, Trefdraetb, Qwalohmai, Bodwrog, Llanerchymedd, Gaerwen, Llanfair, Menai Bridge, and Llandegfan. Mr William Prytherch h 8 been returned un- opppesed for Llanfaelog, and Mr Evan Williams (L) for Newry Ward at Holyhead. In the Llanerchymedd Division, Mr Thomas Pritchard, the agent of Sir George Meyrick, Bart., and a magistrates' clerk for the Llanerchymedd division, had been selected as the Conservative candidate for the district, and the Liberal party had decided not to contest the seat. However, in view of the answer given by the Lord Chancellor in the House of Lords on Tuesday respecting magistrates' clerka as candidates, the Liberals thought it expedient to be on their guard lest a Conservative other than Mr Prichard might be nominated and returned unopposed. On Friday afternoon, the nomination day, Mr John Jones, Mr Prichard's clerk, was nominated instead of Mr Prichard, and the Liberals bad only just time to send in the nomination of Mr John Williams, Park Newydd, before the nominations closed. Mr Williams contested the seat three years ago in the Liberal interest, and on being defeated was elected an alderman for the county.

THE SUCCESS OF A HOLYHEAD GENTLEMAN. Mr John Roberts, the Traffic Superintendent of the Water ford and Limerick Railway, who is a nativj of Four Mile Bridge, Holybesd, is reciriBg from that responsible position, and intends to reside at Holyhead. Mr Roberts was for abont 17 years connected with the London and North Western Railway Company in Dublin, which position he resigned about 15 years ago to under- take the office of superintendent on the Waterford and Limerick Railway. The Irish. Times for Friday last contains the following paragraph relative to the matter It will be perceived by our advertising columns that the Waterford and Limerick Railway Company are ad- vertising for a parson to fill theoffix of Traffic Super. intendent. The Tacaaoy in the important position is consequent on Mr John Roberts' resignation of the office. After over sixteen yewso service he has resigned, and the citizens have received the announcement with regret. He became connected with the line when its varying fortunes were gloomy enough, and he separates from it when its career is becoming a little brighter. The late Sir James Spaight, in his uphill fight against the adverse fate of the-line. placed the most implicit re- liance on Mr Roberta, and unquestionably there was no man whose loyalty to the company deserved more respect. Mr Roberta h&d a hard card to play amongst the public, handicapped as he was by the limited re- sources of the line, and however one person or another may have differed with his work—and who otald please all men in such a posit;lon ?-no man could J-tly com- plain of his courtesy aad faioiess, and wherever he goes from this city the good wislifcs of the community will follow him. For ourseives, we have only to say that we always experience j eonrteousness and consideration at his handis; we feel grateful font; we regret his depar- ture, and wish him etfry good fortune in his future career. We understand that Mr Roberts will be stilV connected with the compapy as consulting Munster Ntvis. »

PENBEYN SLATE QUAPRIES. Concessions to the Men. A notice was posted up at the Penrhyn Cmrries on Monday announcing good new a to the ilhabi- tants of the quarry districts. The notice in ques- tion, signed by Mr E. A. Young, the ht..d manager of the quarry, says Wages.—Yqur annual earnings are now about t 221 per cent better than they were during 1887; this is in great measure due to the fact thit you are, and have been, working full time sioce April, 1890, and in addition to that the poundages are somewhat higher. It will be remembered by yoa that on August 20th, 1891, Lord Penrhyn told the deputation which he met at my office thit day that when the state of the slate trade showed such an improvement as to justify tha step, he would have much pleasure in giving a proportion. such an improvement as to justify tha step, he would have much pleasure in giving a proportion- ate rise in wages and as there are now hopeful indications of a Blight revival in traae, ni8 iorasnip has authorised a rise of 5 per cent to all proper contractors (quarrymen and badrockmen); this does not, however, alter the present "standard," which remains as before, viz., 4s per dav for quarrymen, and 3. 7d badrockmen. Signs are not wanting that the announcement (about the standard") has had the beneficial effact which was intended upon:the earnings of the men; this is dearly ahown by some of the largely increased bills since that date. Qnarrymen who have failed to reap the benefit of that announcement, either from mistrust of its provisions or any other cause, have but themselves to blame, but they will, I trust, be encouraged to follow the example of those who (to the mutual advantage of both parties) have already profited' by trusting in the word of their employer. Selection of Partnera.-I hereby give leave for those crews with only two partners, and where they make a monthly average of JE3 or more worth of slates at the U working prices," to select another partner, subject to the approval of the working manager (Mr D. Pritchard), and also provided that there is every prospect of the bargain contiduing to yield the same average value of slates for a considerable time. Admission of more Boys.—I am very pleased to be able to inform you that I am now prepared to admit about 100 boys. The first batch of 50 will be admitted at oace, and the lemainder four or five weeks later. Boys who exceed 16 years of age on 1st of March cannot be admitted under this rule. A Bethesda correspondent informs us that the above terms are not likely to satisfy the demands of the quarrymen, the five per cent. increase in the wages not being considered sufficient.

CROWN MONEY FOR AN ANGLESEY LADY. An Anglesey lady has beea fortunate enough to be able to obtain a sum of money from the Orown. Mr John Jonts, of Bodrwygolwyo, Anglesey, died on the 12th September, 1890. The deceased was an illegitimate child, and had acquired some propeity previous to his death. He died intestata, aod the property became vested in the Crown. Miss Ellen Parry, of Four Mile Bridge, claimed to be a cousin of the deceased, and she instructed Mr T. R. Evans, Holyhead, who drew out a petition on her behalf to the Lords of the Treasury praying that something should be allowed her from the estate of the deceased. Mr Evans has now re- ceived a letter from the solicitor to the Treasury stating that her Majesty has been pleased to grant the sum of 2 165 14s to Miss Ellen Parry.

What does he mean by upholding the con* stitution of the country 7'1 -.Is it the Tories only that uphold the constitution ? 2. What does he mean by the "spoliation of the Church ?" Will he prove tfcat the Church has a aole right to national endowments 1 3. He talks about the" press misleading the public "—which press, the Liberal or the Tory ? The Liberal, I presume.

Bangor. MARRIAGE OF MR WILLIAM EDWARDS.—At the Cathedral, on Wednesday morning last week, M' William Edwards, of the Town Clerk's Office, aad late of the Station Hotel, was married to Miss Jennie Jonost, of Bethesda. The happy pair were the recipients of numerous presents, those to the bridegroom including a handsome silver walkiog Btick presented by the police force, by whom M' Edwards is held in high regard. THE CATHEDRAL VACAlfCY.-We are given to understand that there are some eighty applicants for the poet of organist at the Cathedral in succes- sion to Ur Roland Rogers. These include doctor* and bachelors of music, and many others who stand high in their profession. Mr BeBnettr Jones, the assistant organist, is also an applicant, and a number of inflaeatial P-entlemen have inter* ested themselves in his candidature by issuing petition in his favour. ALLEGED FRAUDULENT Pitzinmmcit.-At the Bangor Bankruptcy Court, on Monday, his Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd heard a bankruptcy motion iø which Mr James Porter applied, on behalf of the official receiver, for the setting aside of the pay- ment of over E300 by Abel Hughes, Colwyn Bar, to Elizabeth Hughes, and the payment of another sum of £65 to Roger Hughes, on the ground that such payments were made voluntarily within three months of the bankruptcy. Abel Hughes, the bankrupt, carried on business as carrier II, Colwyn Bay. In the course of business transatf* tions, be signed bills for his son, a builder named J. O. Hughes, with the result that proceeding* J were taken against him by Messrs P. and H. Lewi* for the payment of a debt due to them. Messrs Lewis made their application for payment en the 6th of June last, and the writ was issued 88 the 18th of June. According to the last account filed by thft ban kro pt, the payment to Elizabeth was made on the 11th of that month, but Mr Porter argued that it could not have been made on that date but rather on the 17th or afterwardl, for all the money which Hughes had amounted to" £ 500,^which was not taken out of the bank nntil the 17th June. His application was based on thfr ground that the circumstances he had related con- stituted fraudulent preference.—Mr Alnn Lloyd appeared for the respondents, and stated that Abel Hughes at the time he had made these paymenta t* Elizabeth and Roger Hughes was perfectly solvent. Be had sufficient money to pay Merssrs P. and Iff- Lewis, and weald have not been a bankrupt except for the coarse taken by this firm.-His Honour found that neither payment was entirely voluntary* 1 and therefore gave judgment for the respondents, I with an order for the payment of 910 towards the 1 costa of the official reoeiver. ) I' M

MR GEE AND COL. CORNWALLIS WEST, M.P. The following appears (in English) in this week's Baner.: -In the debate, which took place on Tuesday evening, the 23rd ultimo, on Mr Samuel Smith's motion on the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church of England in Wales, Mr West deliberately stated to the House that he was entirely ignorant of the fact that the Diseudowment" of the Church was a plank in the Liberal platform-that the question of "Dis- endowment" did not appear at the time—but was kept is the back ground. But by whom, be did not state. We give his remarks from a parlia- mentary report: Mr Com wall is West, as a member of the Church of England in Wales, said that he had for a long time been in favour of Disestablishment in the hope of patting a stop to the X)oial welfare which was gomg on in the Principality. In 1835, he pledged to vote for Disestablishment, but at that time the question of Disendowmeut of the Church had been kept entirely in the back-ground. If now he was to be told that the Disestablishment and DisendoWment of the Church in Wales was in strict accord and union with the Liberation Society, and that it was actually a first attempt made at the total Disestab- lishment of the Church of England, then he drew back, and declared that that was not what he in. tended (hear, hear, and a laugh). If the opponents of the Church did not repudiate a soheme which had been advanced for robbing as well as disestablishing her, he would have to modify the position which he had hitherto taken up on the question. We will now take the honouraole member to tbe law and the testimony 1" • In his address to the electors of West Denbigh- shire, dated Rathin Castle, Septempter 22nd, 1885," the following appears as a separate para- graph :— 11 To the inhabitants of Wales-the great majority of whom are Nonconformists, the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church of England is nothing leu than a matter of injustice." Again :-In his address to the electors when he was last returned for this division, dated from the same place on "June 24th, 1886," he distinctly and unequivocally professes his adhesion to the principles enunciated in his former address in the following words:— I have nothing to add to the opinions on General Political Subjesta set forth in my recent address—to all of which I steadily adhere." We simply. give the facts, without comment, and await Mr West's explanation
