COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS. CONCERT AT CARDIFF TO AID THEIR SCHOOL FUNDS. Dr. Joseph Parry's concert in aid of the Commercial Travellers' Benevolent Institu- tion and Schools at. the Park-hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening parsed off with an eclat which must not only have cheered the heart of the distinguished Welsh musician who arranged it, but have delighted the members of the association under whose auspices it was held. The attendance was a. crowded one. and there was not even standing room downstairs. The lady artistes were Miss Llewellyn, of Bridgend, and Miss Richards, of Rhymney, both pupils of Dr. Parry. These two young ladies took the places of Madame Hannah Jones and Madame Williams-Penn, who were unable to attend, as announced, in consequence of attacks of influenza. The other artistes were Mr. Ffrangeon Davies and Mr. Tom Stephens's Chicago Prize Male Voice Choir, while there wae a. full ohfirue- and orchestra* assisted by the band of the 2nd Glamorgan Volunteer Artillery (by kind per- mission of Colonel H. O. Fisher and officers). The leader was Mr. E. T. Roberta; harp, Miss Annie T. Jones, R.A.M.; conductors, Mr. T. Stephens, Mr. Paul Draper, and Dr. Joseph Parry, and the accomnanist, Mr. D. C. Wulianis, Merthyr. The celebrated Chi- cabgo Prize Ma.lo Voice Party sing Dr. Parry's new "Druids' Chorus" in a manner that captivated the audience. The "Druids' Chorus, which was thus performed for the first time, is a competitive piece at the forth- coming Llanellv National Eisteddfod. Dr. Parry has set himself in this chorus to describe the massacre by the Romans in the first century of 2,000 Druidio priests. The com- position is an exceptional one, and, without doubt, one of Dr. Parry's best. Another new work by Dr. Parry was also performed for the first time by Mr. Ffrangoon Davies and the Chicago Male Prize Choir It is entitled "A Monologue Night.' It describes in music a fantastic dream, accompanied by night visions, and in this remark- I able composition Dr. Parry makea the experiment of dividing the tenors into four parts, and also the basses securing eight-part writing, with pianoforte and organ accompaniment, thus treating the voices as an orchestra. It was written as late as December last. The other pieces by Dr. Parry were Tone Picture, "Sleep." by the orohestra., and grand Royal March, "Hail! Prince of Wales," with full chorus (male and female) and Mr. Paul Draper's band. ■> The doctor received most enthusiastic reoeptions, which he fully deserved, as the music was stamped with characier and geniu-s. Mr. A. M. Setter, Rhondda (scholar of the South Wales School of Music) played Mendelssohn's "Caprioeio in B Minor" on the pianoforte, me accompanied by the orchestra, in fine style, and Mr. Ffrangeon Davies won a deserved encore for his prologue to "Pagliacci," his response being a splendid rendering of "Father O'Flynn. One of the gems of the evening, however, was the Chicago Male Prize Choir's rendering of "The Tyrol" (Ambroise Thomas), which took the house by storm, and an encore was insisted upon. The concert, as we have said, was a brilliant suceass, and we would congratulate Dr. Parry, not only upon the concert as a whole, but upon the creditable performances of his pupils.
COLLAPSE OF A CHAPEL.
COLLAPSE OF A CHAPEL. AN EXTRAORDINARY OCCUB- RENCE NEAR MERTHYR. A remarK&ble occurrence has just taken place at Cefncoed, near Merthyr, resulting in the almost total destruction of Carmei Baptist Chapel. Service was held in the building ae uguai- on Sunday night, and when the plaoe-was locked up there was nothing, apparently, amiss The next morning, however, when some oolliers were proceeding to work they found that a water pipe under the building had burst, and tha* "there were huge cracks in the front and pine end walls, rendering the structure liable tr complete collapse. Temporary expedients foi making things safe were employed, and after wards Mr. Richard Lloyd, contractor, had the walls more securely shored up by beams and planks. Mr. Lloyd, after making an inspec- tion, declared that both the front and pine end/- would have to be demolished and re-built. Thf damage, of course, is verv considerable, and much sympathy is felt with the Rev. W. B. Griffiths and the members in the misfortune which has befallen them. Until the restoration of the chapel the Sunday services will be con- ducted in the infants' department of the boor(1 school.
LICENSING SYSTEM.
LICENSING SYSTEM. A CONTRAST BETWEEN CARDIFF AND GOTHENBBURG. A crowded temperance meeting was held at the Wesley an Ohapel at Porthcawl on Tuesday evening, Mr. Tom James presiding. The Rev. Morris Morgan spoke upon "The Gothenburg System and the Local Veto Bill." Selecting the year 1893 as a basis, he adduced the figures of the "Times" eemmisioner contrasting Gothenburg and Cardiff, whioh was, according to the speaker, not a. model town in sobriety. The population of Gothenburg was 107,000 and Cardiff 150,000. The arrests at Cardiff for drunkenness, in round numbers, were 500, and Gothenburg 4.066: chronic alcoholism in Car- diff 15, and Gothenburg 50. The. number of public-houses in Gothenburg was over 800, and in Cardiff a few over 300. Mr. Morgan demanded the Government Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. The Bishop of Chester was dragging a red herring across the trail.

MUNICIPAL VACANCY.r
MUNICIPAL VACANCY. r SELECTION 07 CANDIDATES FO(R CANTON ELECTION. At a. largely-attended meeting of the Canton vYard Liberal Association, held at the Radnor- road Board Schools on Tuesday evening, Mr. Lloyd Meyrick, solicitor, was unanimously selected as the Liberal candidate to contest the seat rendered vacant by the death of Mr. W. E. Vaughan. Mr. W. Lewis, the old member, declined to stand. THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE. The annual meeting of the Canton Ward Con- servative Association was held on Wednesday might, Councillor J. M. Gerhoid in the chair, when Mr Gerhold was re-elected chairman, Mr. E. Ballantyne vice-chairman, Mr. F. W. Hybart treasurer, and Mr. F. E. Haslock hon. secretary.—Thirty gentlemen were elected as delegates to the Central Asfociation, and also the ward committee, with power to add to their number.—-The Chairman, referring to the vapai-.oy in to ward, made.feeling,illusion to. th».ead death erf Councillor Vaughau, iho for so many years had been their neighbour, and had tamed the general re3pect of the electors, and it was resolved unanimously that a. lettet- of sympathy and condolence be sent to Mrs. Va,ughan and family.—Several gentlemen ex- pressed their willingness to fight the seat in- the Coceervative interest, but the vote of the P'eeting was unanimously in favour of Mr. liltyd Thomas, son of the well-known Mr. Geo. Thcmas (Ely Farm), who was waited upon at his residence, and attended th,, :neeting, which adopted him unanimously as the Conservative candidate for the ward. CANTON WARD BYE-ELECTION TO THE BURGESSES OF THE CANTON WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— At the unanimous request of the Canton Ward Conservative Association and Club, I have consented tj become a candidate for the vacancy caused by the lamented death of the late Councillor Vaughan. Being a native of, and a resident in, Canton, and well known to most of you, I am, therefore, thoroughly acquainted with the requirements of this large alto growing district. Should you do me the honour of returning me as your representative, it wiD be my earnest endeavour to promcte the speedy completion of the Canton Park, and also to devote special attention to the proper lighting, paving, and cleansing of the roads and streets in the ward, and, at the same time, to have due legard to the reduction of the rates of the borough, consistent with the carrying out of neces- sary. reforms. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, ILLTSD THOMAS. 22, St. John's-crescent, Canton, March 13th, 1895. COMMITTEE-ROOM.

GLAMORGAN COUNCIL.
GLAMORGAN COUNCIL. COLONEL A-PENDARVES VIVIAN AND THE CHAIRMANSHIP. To the Editor of the "Evening Express." Sir,-In order to place before the members of the above council my present position with reference to the a.bove I shall be much obliged by your inserting this letter in your to-morrow's issue. At the last meeting of the county council at Neath I was asked by several of the most influential aldermen and councillors to allow myself to be nominated to succeed my brother, the late Lord Swansea. It had not been my intention to seek re-election for the council—in fact, I had so intimated, in writing, to the chairman of my constituency but, con- sidering it an honour, not only to myself, but to my brother's memory. I forthwith assented and withdrew my resignation. Mv consti- tuents, as usual, behaved most handsomely, and returned me unopposed. I had not the smallest idea that anyone else sought the honour of the chair until a few days ago, after my election, when I was informed that there was another councillor in the field. My present position is that I have asked for no vote, and that I have attended no meeting, as I could not help re- garding personal canvassing as inconsistent with the position and dignity of the chair and its duties. I note, however, in reports given of a meeting held at the Liberal Association at Car- diff yesterday that no mention is made of my name, but simply that Mr. Blandy Jenkins, who was present, was nominated to fill the obair. I am enabled to state that this only ocourred after some debate (exception being taken to my absence), and on a division of the whole meeting, when fourteen voted for Mr. Jenkins and nine for myself. Then a, subse- quent resolution was brought forward for the object of binding the minority to alter their opinions on the spot. and pledge themselves to join the majority in supporting Mr. Jenkins. This was, however, not carried, and those pledged to support myself were allowed to be free to do so at the oountv council meeting to- morrow. I certainly should hesitate, under ordinary circumstances, to seek the high honour of succeeding my brother in the chadr, but I now feel pledged to do so to my supporters in the council and in my own constituency. At the same time, if accepted by the council I hope that my past training of seventeen years' hard work in Committee-rooms and in the House of Commons itself (during five years of whioh I was selected for the honour of being one of the Com- mittee of Chairmen) will enable me to assist in the proper and orderly oonduot of our large and very important council. This will be my earnest endeavour and desire. Apologising for this lengthy letter,—I am, &c., A. PENDARVES VIVIAN. Port Talbot, March 13.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
THE SPEAKERSHIP. PARTY LEADERS IN CONFERENCE YESTERDAY. The Central News says it has not transpired publicly that a conference took place on Friday mort-ing last between the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Balfour, and the Speaker. The intsrview occurred before noon, at the official residence of Mr. Peel, and lasted about an hour. Mr. Balfour at the time was supposed to be at Brighton, and the previous Tuesday Mr. Hays Fisher, M.P., formerly one of his private secretaries, paid a special visit to him th< re in oonnection, it is understood, with the Speaker's desires. Mr. Peel's intention to re- sign formed, in fact, the subject of official com- munications during the whole of last week, and was known to his immediate circle for a fort- night. Down to the rising of the House of Commons on Wednesday afternoon nothing had been settled, with regard to Mr. Peel's successor, but the two statesmen upon whom there is rallying of preference are Mr. Camphell-Baimennaai for the Mmiste-1 rialists and Sir MAthew White Ridley for the Conservatives. If the Minister for War were known to desire the Speakership, that would put an end to speculation on the subject. The Press Association learns that since the Speaker privately intimated to the leaders of j both parties in the House of Commons his in- teution shortly to resign representations have been made to the right hon. gentleman with a, view to persuading him to continue in office until the close of the present session, but Mr. Peel lias replied that he is unable to yield to this pressure, as he desires to retire at the earliest lonvement opportunity. THE DEADLOCK AT WARWICK. I The Press Association Warwick correspondent savs the name of Mr. Richard Chamberlain ktsbeen very favourably received by the Liberal Unionists of Warwiok and Leamington, but the Conservatives insist upon having Mr. Montague Nelson, who has long been before tli-3 constituency as candidate. No decision ha.s been given by headquarters as to the rival claims of the two wings of the Unionist party to nominate the candidate, but, in the mean- time, Mr. Nelson has practically commenced his campaign. The Liberals hope to have a candidate for the Liberal Association to adopt on Friday, when they will meet to make their choice.
BUSINESS IN THE COMMONS.
BUSINESS IN THE COMMONS. THERE IS NOW TALK OF AN AUTUMN SESSION. There is (says the "Globe") beginning to be a certain amount of talk in the House about an autumn session. From the point of view of the Government the ottte of public business it undoubtedly very serious, and there is practi- cally no chance of either the Irish Land Bill or the Welsh Disestablishment Bill being read a second time before Easter. Under such cir- cumstances, it is plain that these two Bills will fill up the whole of the remainder of the session. It is very generally believed that if this is the case the Government will oall Parliament to- gether in the autumn in order to pass the One Man One Vote Bill. Entirely apart from the principles involved by the measures in ques- tion, this course is much to be deprecated. The experiences of autumn sessions have been of late of a sort that no one desires to repeat The House meets in a sullen frame of mind, tempers on all sides are painfully exacerbated, and the amount of business done is never worth the loss of good feeling which it entails. An autumn session is, or ought to be. a very exceptional thing; for nothing does more to drive out of public life the sort of men who are most wanted in it.
INFLUENZA.--
INFLUENZA. CAUSES A HIGH MORTALITY IN CARDIFF DISTRICT. At the meeting of the Cardiff Rural Sanitary Authority held on Wednesday afternoon at the Union Offices, Cardiff, Mr. O. H. Jones pre- siding, the monthly report of Dr. Priohard. medical officer of health to the district council, wa.s reonved. It showed that during the month of February 51 births and 49 deaths had been registered in the district. With the exception of the month of December, 1891, the mortality rate for February, Dr. Prichard pointed out, had been, notwithstanding its 28 days, by far the highest of any month since he (Dr. Pri- chard) had been the medical officer. In the year 1890, as in the month just passed, influenza had been very prevalent in epidemic type throughout the district.—It was decided to pur- chase a. "Washington Lion's Portable Disin- fecting Apparatus" for the purpose of disinfect- ing clothes, at the sum of J3168.
GRAPES FROJI AFRICA.
GRAPES FROJI AFRICA. THEY ARE CHEAPER IN ENGLAND THAN ENGLISH GRAPES A correspondent, writing from London. says"Grapes similar to the South African grapes displayed in the window of the 'Western Mail' Office, St. Mary-street, Cardiff, are being offered in a fashionable fruiterer's shop in Re- gent-circus at 28. per lb. English hot-house grapes are fetching from 4s. to 7s. per lb., and in Covent Garden for a fine sample of Muscat of Alexandria I was asked 15s. a lb. But, surely, it ought not to cost Is. lid. a. lb. to pack and transport from Cape Town to London even so perishable a commodity as grapes. Coming as they do at a time when English-grown grapes are scarce and dear, I venture to pre- dict a great future for the South African grape trade."

In Flames on the Stage s
In Flames on the Stage s AN ACTOR BECOMES A BLAZ- ING TORCH. His Indian Costume Became Igniterf By a Torch Borne by a. Super. The second scene of the second act of "On the Mississippi," a pieoe playiag in the Colum- bus Theatre, New York, represents a street in New Orleans at night, and a processioi. of revellers is shown. Stevedores, ragamuffin^ Indians, roustabouts, and idlers marolt across the Etage with drums, horns, jewsharps, and banjos, making musie as they go. Some carry toiches. Harry D. Arnold, a coloured boy, represent ed an Indian, and evoked music from a comb. He wore Indian dress, his blanket and trousers being plentifully hung with a long fringe made of hemp. Im the middle of the scene one of the torch-bearers dropped his light close beside Arnold. The flame reached out and caught the fringe at the bottom of his right leg. A tiny little flame it was. but the players did not see it and Arnold's attention was taken up with blowing through his comb. "You're afire' you're afire there!" yelled some one from the front, rising and pointing excitedly at Arnold. Almost before the words were out of his mouth, the unfortunate man was a*mass of flames. The theatre, which had been quite dark, was now lighted up by this human torch. Arrold's fantastic head-dress was all ablaze. Throwing his hands in the air. and, with a wild cry, he dashed for the wings, the flames roaring about him. as he went. All was confusion in the theatre. It was pitch dark. Men shouted in their horror, women screamed, and some of them fainted. Lights were turned on, and the reassuring voices of the cool heads among the audience gradually restored order. On the stage there was a panio among the performers waiting in the wiugs. They scamperetLftway as Arnold dashed off and hurried to places of safety. The stage carpenter grabbed up a fire bucket, and threw the contents on the blazing figure as it passed him, and, seizing a heavy rug. threw it over Arnold and smothered the flames. Before the fire was out Arnold had fainted, and it required a surgeont skill to bring him lack to consciousness. He was frightfully burned. His back, shoulders, and head were charred, and all his clothing- byjaed away. He was taken to the hospital, his condition was pronounced very critical. As Soon as pos- sible the performance was resumed. The horse which saves the hero dashed on the stage, but the sympathetic audience had no heart for the play. Many left the house, and the applause of those who remained was feeble. The ushers of the house were besieged during the rest af the evening with questions j6 to the superer's fate, and more than one woman was seen to leave the theatre crying.
MON E IT-LENDING ACTION.
MON E IT-LENDING ACTION. PLAINTIFF THE SON OF A LATB CARDIFF SOLICITOR. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on Wednesday the hearing of the case was resumed (before Mr. Justice Collins) in which Mr. Herbert Cyril Heard, son of a late Cardiff solicitor, sued Mr. Jabez Barnes for the retuni of J3850, money lent, aad the return of a, promissory note for the same an-ount. The defendant domed that the money was lent, or that he was liable in any way. Mr. Abel Thomas, Q.C., M.P.. amd Mr. Cohen represented the plaintiff, whilst Mr. Rawlinaou was for the defendant.—Hie opening statement by counsel was to the effect, unit the plaintiff in 1888 was a young man, of 22 years of age, and, by the aid of his father, who lived in Caidiff, entered into partnership with the liim of Edwards and Barnes, LiGn Button Works, Birmingham. He left 1 he partnership two ytars ago, and had been roughing it in Canada. Although he had sunk JB4,755 of his father's rionev in the business," he sold out for A;570 and the business was going on swimmingly v ith the rest of the money. Barnes was the only partner left in tie firm in 1838, when plain- tiff joined, and, having a branch in London, plaintiff to}k charge of that. Early in 1890 defendant began to speculate on the Stock Exchange, and lost very considerable srms of rnmey. Plaintiff oame to his aid, and did all he could. He had now come back from Ccnada, and wanted his money and the promissory note, which, he said, represented defendant's in- deWedness- The plaintiff in evidence corroborated in deta il the learned counsel's statement. He stated de- fendant asked for the note, and said, if plain- iff's father got hold of th-e note he would not show him an hour's mercy. Witness agreed. on the condition that, if acything happened U> him abroad, defendant would re-pay his family as soon as he was able. Cross-examined: He denied that the note bad any reference to the partnership, or that he had released the defendant from liability on the note. Witness admitted it. was by his sugges- tion that defendant entered into partnership with him, though Mr. Thcmas had opened that he was an innocent boy taken in by an older man. His father was a solicitor for 30 years in Cardiff. Defendant was six years older in 1888 than he (plaintiff), and he believed he was still so. (Laughter.) His father investigated the business before investing money in it. Of the £4,775 invested £ 700 was re-paid, £1.000 was paid to Edwards, the outgoing partner, and JE500 to Barnes. He did not know that while he was a partner he had drawn £2.300 out of the business, although he was supposed to keep the books. He admitted that while he was conduct- ing the London branch he drew JB10 t week,. drank, perhaps, more than was good for him, and was keeping a woman. He might have been responsible for the losses to the business while, he was a partner, and lie wrote a letter to defen- dant saying he would get on better if he could go to a place where there were no women, no rich pals, no booze—(laughter)—and where the money would not melt away. After he haude<f tlie note to defendant, on May 9, 1892. h* did not write to his father saying he had dotX so, and his father, who was dead now, never knew of the existence of it. When the partner ship was dissolved the whole of the eapitaj account of Mr. Barnes— £ 2,000—and plaintiff'* capital account were agreed to be written off, ana Barnes had to borrow £ 1.000. Of that he paid plaintiff £500. and put B500 into the business. Notwithstanding that, he still insisted that Barnes owed him £850, because it was a private debt, outside the partnership account. Mr. John Bishop, stock and share broker, carrying on business at Birmingham, said he had had transactions with the defendant since 1890. They were mostly speculative transac- tions. In October, 1890, defendant's account stood B800 or JE900 to the debit, and on the 30th witness saw both plaintiff and defendant at their office. Plaintiff assisted the defendant, and bills were given in the name of tlie firm in satisfaction of the debt. Mr. Rawlinson then addressed the jury for the defence. Mr. Jabez Barnes, who gave his address as Broad-street, Birmingham, went into the witness-box a.nd gave his version of the tran- saction. He said the note was handed oa:\k as a term of the partnership dissolution, And the plaintiff's account of the matter was quite un.' true. The case was adjourned to Monday.
