BOTHWELL. A public meeting convened by the Warden at the request of the Rev A J Greenwood and others, was held at the Castle Hotel on the 8th May to derive means of assisting Mr Luke Evans and family, who had suffered severe losses by fire. The Warden (Mr A Ibbott) presided. The chairman said all present were aware that Mr Evans had lost everything in the recent disastrous fire, and that his wife and children had had a miraculous escape. Mr Evans was a native of Bothwell, and a man of excellent character, one whom they should be glad to assist to the best of their ability. The Rev Greenwood said he had made careful inquiries into the case, and found that Mr Evans had for years been steadily striving to get together furniture and material to build a larger house. In his cottage before the fire he had sufficient furniture for an eight-roomed house, and now everything was lost. He also had £30 in gold ready to meet his bills, and all but about four sovereigns were melted. This was a serious loss, and it behoved them all to help to put Mr Evans on his legs again. Everyone spoke of him as a steady, honest man, well worthy of support. Mr R Bowden had started a subscription list, but was quite willing to hand it over to a committee. The following committee was appointed. The Warden, Rev A J Greenwood, Messrs R Bowden, W H Sealy, C E Sibley, NC Paul, G H Key, and A C Hurst, with the Warden as hon treasurer, and Mr Greenwood hon secretary. Mr Bowden handed his list to the chairman, showing £15 1s already collected. Subscriptions in the room brought the total of £23 2s. (13)
