Mr. MATTHEWS said the Gas Company had done all they possibly could , and the light was very satisfactory . As long as the lamps were kept perfectly clean , and the in- candescent mantles attended to , the lighting would be efficient . They also found that the cost for gas with a greater number of lamps was cheaper now than it was in 1912 . No further action was taken in the matter . GALLANT ROSS MEN .

The English oak coffin , of old English design , covered with a magnificent purple velvet pall , was conveyed from the Woolands in an open catafalque by road to Dorstone Church , which is some 24 miles away .
