MEETING OF COLLIE its AT MOUNTAIN…
MEETING OF COLLIE its AT MOUNTAIN ASH. A very largely-attended meeting of colliers was held in the assembly-room, Allen's Arms, Mountain Ash, on Monday night, for the purpose of considering the present condition of the coal trade, the standard of education at which children were permitted to go to work, and other matters affecting the general welfare of the workmen Mr Wm. Pritchard presided. The first speaker was David Morgan, one of the members of the sliding scale committee, who delivered a length ened address both in English and Welsh He regretted very much that he had to call their attention to the present state of the sliding scale at Cardiff. They were aware that they had been agitating during the last 12 months for a revision of the scale made a little over two years ago, and when they met the employers at Cardiff they stated their position. The house coal men stated that they again wanted a scale somewhat similar, so far as there were two scales before. When the employers came to hear this, they did not say they would give an amendment in the scale, but said that if they were going to have a scale at all, they were going to have one scale for both house and steam coal men, the consequence was they were placed in a very awkward position, as the house coal men had not the same authority to act as the steam coal men. Unlike the steam coal men, those from the house coal were sent with their hands tied up so that tney could only do certain things, and the masters said that unless this was altered they could not do business with them again. In narrating what took place at t, el the Cardiff meeting, the speaker said they entirely failed upon the question of having an umpire. The employers said that if they were to submit to the proposition to have an umpire it would split up the Coalowners' Association, and consequently the sliding scale also. There were some colliers in South Wales who would say, let the masters' association be split up altogether. He did not believe in that. He would do anything within the bounds of reason to keep the association together, because he thought it was for the good of both sides, if carried on properly. But there was a possibility in the employers' association to do evil, the same as in every society. He then referred to the manner in which the house coal representa- tives had to return to their constituents, and said that when they went back to Cardiff they said, We are to have two scales or nothing, and we must have an umpire." Rather than smash up the committee, the steam coal men said, We will make an appeal to the masters to let us have a scale of our own." They did so and were again told that the masters could not consider it; they must have one scale or nothing He was sorry such a decision had been come to, because the house coal men must be thought of as rather obstinate. But, after all, the employ- ers should not refuse to do business with them (the men) who were full of a conciliatory spirit. He believed the masters could grant them this, but after all they refused it. The speaker then drew attention to the effect of these failures. The house coal men had gone again to their constituents, and they were now waiting to see whether they would let their representatives do business without binding their hands at all. He hoped they would do so, in the interest of the trade of South Wales. In his opinion if the house-coal men had stood by the steam coal men at Cardiff, they would have had the 5 per cent. advance. He believed that this stoppage in the sliding-scale arrangements had kept away tonnage to the extent of thou- sands from the district. He did not think this was the only cause of stoppages. Another cause was some little difficulty in regard to the Suez Canal. It was not a real depression, but a stoppage on the road. (Hear, hear.) There- fore he argued that the trade was healthy as a whole. (Applause.) At the same time it must be admitted that there was a tendency, in their failing respecting the the sliding-scale, to keep the trade away from South Wales. In other countries they were settling down quietlv and merchants were doing business with them in consequence, but they must acknowledge that in this country they were not settled, because they wore haggling with each other. It followed that a merchant would hesitate to make a contract with South Wales, whoro there might be a strike in the work. He was happy to say that the steam coal men wera not the means of checking the business of South Wales; but ho must say-and he should not like to blame the house coal men more than was their due-thitt they were more responsible that any- one else. He hoped they would look into the matter calmly, in order that they might do away with the cause of keeping the trade away and depriving their families of food and cloth- ing. He would next call their attention to the education of their children not only in South Wales, but throughout the country. The law at present said that no child shall go to work until he has reached the fourth standard, but bye-laws were passed by some boards that children should not leave school until they had passed the fifth standard. Now, he was sorry to see this, because in the Aber- dare and Llanwonno districts, in which they were concerned, this was enforced' although the board had it at present. He would not care if these boards would only tell them what they required, but there had been au intention on their part to raise the standard from the 5th to the 6th and from the 6th"to the 7th stanpard, so as to prevent children from going to work at all until they were 14 years of age. They might expect that this wouldlaffect the parents to the amount of JB45. It was their duty to rise as one man against this. It was right all children should be educated, but they must see that" in raising the children theydiduotcrush the parents. (Hear Hear.) They should also see that in educating the children they did not starve them for want of food and clothing. It was as im- portant to teach children to work as to educate them. (Hear/ hear.) He had told some managers that there would be better manage- ment in South Wales if they had learnt to work practically as well as by theory. They would know more about work, and know how to p ty men for their work. Some people said let the -"f- children remain out: they will lessen the pro- duct in the market. This, he maintained, was an unfair and false arguement. He admitted there would be less labourers, but was it right for them to draw E45 from the pookets of the hard- working parents ? He did not want to put another blow upon the Government, but it did not unerdstand what the men wanted. Let them go up to London and say to j'Mr Mundella," We want our children to go in to work at 12 years of age, after passing the fourth standard." (Applause.) Mr J. W. Jones, as representative of the Llanwonno School Board for the last six years, said the question which Mr Morgan had referred to had been discussed by his board on more than one occasion, viz., the children pass* ing the fourth standard. Unfortunately the framers of the bye-laws were not careful enough in doing so. The words read, reaching the fifth standard," which it was thought meant passing that standard. Some time ago, Mr Rees, deputy inspector of mines, saw the rules, said the construction was wrong, and sent all the children back. The effect was that many workmen were obliged to keep their children in school to pass the fifth standard. 1 hey thought it was only just that workmen should be allowed to send their children to work after passing the fourth standard. When the question was fairly brought before them they decided upon petition- ing Parliament, and used the stongest argu- ments they could, but the department told them plainly that they could not reduce the standard, so that they must bring some stronger power to bear. James Wilcox moved, Wm Branch seconded, and it was resolved :— That the committee regrets to hear that the house coal miners have withdrawn from their late resolution to unite the house and steam coal together, knowing from past history that the want of unity of action had been to our detriment in South Wales. We, therefore, in this meeting do urge upon our house-coal friends to reconsider the advisability of having one scale for house and steam coal, believing that such would be advantageous to both; also to give all powet to their representatives to act in all cases on the sliding scale committee. John Williams next proposed, and David Edwards seconded, and it was also unanimously resolved—" That in the opinion of this meeting, the fourth standard of education is a moderate standard for the workmen's boys to pass before they should be permitted to go to work, if they are 12 years of age; we therefore suggest for the next delegate meeting to be called, as soon as possible, at Aberdare, in order to select a deputation to put our views before the Educa- tional Department, that they may frame some scheme to embody such views, and put them into a practical form. David Morgan (Aberaman) next brought be- fore the meeting the case of the boy, E. G. Wall, and appealed for contributions towords the funds for defending the appeal in the superior court, announcing that X2 10s for the purpose had been received from the Llwynpia colliers. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings, which occupied two hours.

cc OUR Boys. As will be seen from an announcement elsewhere, Mr W. Duck's well known "Our Boys" Company, who have mot with such universal success wherever they have appeared, will give three representations of the above popular comedy in this town, commencing on Monday evening next. The prices are low and we shall be much disappointed if the Temperance Hall be not crowded each evening. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday last. a haulier, named William Rowberry, aged 36, living at Long-row, employed at the River Level, Abernant, died from injuries received on the 3rd inst. through an explosion of gas in some abandoned workings into which it appears he had gone without permission with a naked light. David Morgan, a collier, heard an ex- plosion and went in that direction, but met deceased coming out severely burnt. An in- quest will be held this day (Friday.) SUDDEN DEATHS. -A sad instance of the un- certainty of life occurred on Thursday morning last. A young married woman named Eliza- beth Seymour, wife of Harry Seymour, 10, Highland- place, (gardener in the employ of Mr Gregor) was found dead in bad at I a.m. by her husband's side. It appears that the deceased, who had a child nine weeks old at the breast, appeared in her usual health on retiring to bed, when about one o'clock, Seymour was awakened by the cries of the child. He called to his wife, but receiving no answer, he en deavoured to arouse her. To his horror he discovered that she had breathed her last. A medical man was immediately in attendance but too late for his services to be of any avail. An inquest will be held on Friday. Another sudden death occurred on Monday, when a woman named Gwyther, the wife of a shoemaker living in Dumfries-street, died in an awfully sudden manner in High-street. The cause is supposed to have been heart disease. A CARDIFF BUTCIIER IN BRISTOL.—At the Bristol police-court, on Friday, a rather singular charge of robbing a Cardiff man was heard. William Watkins, 25, butcher, was charged with stealing £ 8 in gold, the property of Fred- erick-Follett. The prosecutor said he was a butcher, and lived at Cardiff. He had a stand in the Cardiff Market, and he knew the prisoner from his having a stand there. Witness came to Bristol on business, and, meeting the pri- soner, went to stay at his loggings at Bed- minster. He slept with the prisoner, and on going to bed on Wednesday evening had E8 10s in gold safe. On getting up that (Thursday) morning he missed his money, and told defend- ant of his loss. Watkins said, "I have not got it," but witness said he should like to see, and caught hold of his hand. There was something in the defendant's hand, and when a policeman came £ 8 were found in his possession. They were drinking with a "young lady" on Wednesday, and as defendant had no money witness had to pay for what was had. Detective Heal said the prosecutor described the money he had lost before he saw that defendant had it. The description answered to the money found.—The defendant denied his guilt, but asked that the case might be dealt with now.- Mr Gare said that could only be by his pleading guilty.-The defendant said he knew it was right enough he had the money. He was com- mitted for two months' imprisonment. BOARD OF GAURDIANS.—The weekly meeting of the above board was held on Saturday, Mr R. H. Rhys presiding. The clerk presented a bill for 1:86 3s 10J for election expenses which, to gether with £ I 0 allowed him for conducting the election, broaght the amount to X93 3s 10d.— The Chairman thought it was not an unreason- able one, and the amount was thereupon ordered to be paid. If they would have a contest they must pay for it. -Mr D Davies (Aberdare) We did not want one. — Mr Davies (Merthyr) said fault had been found with some of the charges, caused by no lime being given perso&s to withdraw. No one was finding fault with the clerk, who had only acted according to law as it was at present, but it was thought at the finance committee that a commun; cation should be sent to the Local Government Board pointing out the advisability of some time being given for withdrawals previous to the papers being sent to print.—The Chairman said the Government would not pass a special act for this purpose. He thought it would be desirable that a time for withdrawals should be given the same as with the school board elections. Could the Local Government Board make an order ?— The Clerk thought the department could do so, but they would not make a special order for Merthyr. In school board elections there was a very good plan-a day was mentioned, and in case of any withdrawal not being received on that day, the name went on the paper whether they liked it or not.-hir D. Davies (Merthyr) moved, and Mr D. Davies (Aberdare) seconded, "That this board memorialize the Local Government Board, and draw attention to the desirability of fixing a day for withdrawals, the same as school board elections, so as to save unnecessary expense." Mr D. Davies (Aber- dare) said there was a bill of JE30 or JE40 which might easily have been avoided if time for withdrawals had been given. The resolution was unanimously adopted.— Upon the adoption of the finance committee's report, it was decided, upon the motion of t he chairman, seconded by the Rev. A Davies, that a return be presented of the amount of relief given by way of loan, the sums collected, and amount of arrears. -The committee appointed to consider the best means of providing a fire- extinguishing apparatus for the work-house now reported that having consulted Mr Harpur such apparatus would cost £ 51, which they recommended should be paid. The recommenda tion was adopted.—With regard to William Morgan,the lunatic harper at the asyl um, the clerk said that two of the man's cousins John and Thomas Morgans, colliers-had sigued an undertaking to keep the man for six months, and he suggested that this should be sent to the asylum committee, with a recommendation that Morgans should be discharged thereon. If he was only out of the asylum six months it would be a good thing.-After some discussion, in the course of which it was urged by several members that if the man was allowed to go home he would simply go about playing at public-houses, and in consequence have to go back to the asylum, the clerk was instructed to ask for his release upon the terms proposed. ABERDARE COUNTY COURT.—His Honour, Judge B. T. Williams, Q.C., held his monthly sitting in the registrar's room on Tuesday. 1 he number of cases was very trifling, and possessed no public interest —in fact, the whole business was concluded shortly after 12 o'clock. A bankruptcy motion of the trustees in the matter of Hosgood and Smith v: Ivey was set down for hearing, but when the solicitors and counsel engaged had assembled, it was intimated that an arrangement had been arrived at. UWMBACH.—Un Monday evening last a very successful concert came off at the Unitarian Church here in aid of the funds of the Sunday School connected therewith. The edifice was far too small to contain many friends who sought ad- mission. The chair was ably filled by R. Bedlington, Esq., Gadlys House. Miss Morgan, Abernantygroes, and Mr Joseph Perkins, pre- sided at the pianoforte and harmonium Hearty votes of thanks were accorded to the chairman and all friends who kindly volunteered their fratuitous services on the occasion, by the Rev. J. J. George, Abardare. Other friends spoke to the effect that they were much pleased with the effective manner each piece of music was rendered, and also with every thing connected with the meeting from its beginning to its close.

ABEP.DARE CHAMBER OF TRADE.
ABEP.DARE CHAMBER OF TRADE. At the monthly meeting of the Aberdare Chamber of Trade, held on Tuesday evening, the piesident, Mr Evan Thomas, presided over a numerous assemblage of members. The following highly satisfac tory letter was read by the secretary (Mr David James,) from the General Post-office, LondonSir,— With reference to your letter of the 22nd March I beg leave to aquiint you, for the information of the Aberdare Chamber of Trade, that directions will forthwith be given for the establishment of a post offioa at Llwydcoed, and for a despatch of letters in the afternoon. A wall letter-box will be at the same time erected at Penywaun, as desired. I am, &c.,—J. E. Sefton." — The result of the application was regarded as most satisfactory, the secretary explaining that a person had been nominated as postmaster at Llwydcoed, where an office would be opened almost immediately, whilst the box at Penywaun would almost directly be erected. With regard to the Commercial-street railway crossing, so long complained of, the following was read from Mr George Fisher, of the Taff Vale CompanyDear sir,—The delay at this crossing, has been so reduced that I trust the inhabitants of Aberdare and neighbourhood have no cause for complaiut. Many days the crossing is only occupied by psssing engines, taking about ten minutes, and the average time for mineral trains is not more than four minutes. Having regard to the proper conduct of tne company's traffic, I can have no hesitation in saying that the inconvenience has been reduced to a minimum." The notice of motion given by Mr D. Davies (Canon-street) respecting a free library for Aberdare Was postponed for a month. Mr Thos. Phillips (solicitor), in proposing a vote of sympathy and condolence in respect to the Dublin assassinations, said he considered the resolution was one of great importance, and one he felt hecouldnotdojusticeatamoment's.notice. Still he did not think it would be unsuitable or unbecoming of the chamber to take cognizance of the dastardly event that occurred in Ireland on Saturday. When one looked at the situation, and endeavoured to give expression to one's feelings, he found it difficult to give that ex- pression and force of language necessary not only for the chamber, but for the country generally. The event was one that had startled not only England generally, but the whole world. It was most cowardly and dastardly to murder two of their Queen's servants, one of whom had been but a week appointed, and had not left the shores of England 24 hours before he was struck down by the hand of a cowardly assassin. The position to which he was appointed, was one of a great and trying char- acter, and true to his duties he obeyed the call of his chief. Therefore, he thought, independ- eut of all shades of public opinion, no man, woman, or child throughout the kingdom could withhold their feeling of abhorrence at the occurrence that had taken away the life of such an able man as Lord Cavendish. (Hear hear.) It was to be hoped that justice would swifty overcome the criminals, and whilst that was going on he thought they could not do better than give expression to their feelings. He therefore had pleasure in submitting the following resolution which he proposed should be sent to Lady Cavendish — That this chamber desires to express its abhorrence of the atrocious crime committed in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on Saturday last, and wishes to coztvey to the family of the late Lord Frederick Cavendish its heart-felt expression of sympathy and condolence with them in their sad bereavement." Mr T. Evans (jeweller) seconded the motion, which was adopted most unanimously. Mr D. P. Davies, J.P., then proposed the second resolution. "That this chamber whilst viewing with horror and detestation the terrible outrage perpetrated on Saturday last, ventures to convey to the family of the lato Mr Thomas Burke its deep sympathy with them in their trying affliction, and desires to express its appreciation of the valuable services he has rendered to his coun try." Mr Davies observed that it was hardly neces- sary for him to say a word in support of this resolution. He thought every gentleman pre- sent must have read the remarks made in the House of Commons on the previous night by gentlemen who once held the position of Chief Secretary in Ireland towards Mr Burke. Each party used the strongest language they could use in regard to the late Under Secretary. He thought the country had lost a servant whose ?iaCw°n kardiy be filled up. (Hear, hear.)— Mr William 1 homas (hie-h cocstable), remarked that he could not say he seconded the resolution with pleasure, because, like everv one else, he felt very much pained at the cause of the re- solution. A gentleman like. Mr Burke had very responsible duties to perform, and during the past few years had to perform them under very great difficulties. He was glad, however, to believe that the majority of the Irish people felt as much abhorred and pained and disgusted at themselves at this deplorable event, He had on Monday the pleasure of a long conversation with an Irish gentleman, who. he might say, was a red-hot Radical, and he was sure there was not a man in the kingdom more pained than he was at what had taken place. (Hear, hear.) The gentleman he referred to was a regular Parnellite in every sense of the word, but he was delighted to find that he could not find words strong enough in which to speak of Saturday's event. It might ultimately be for good. It was an old saying that what is is for the best; they could only hope that this event would be for the best, and that tho Irish would be so disgusted and alarmed at the deed that they will put their shoulder to the wheel, and assist the Government to put the country in order again. (Hear, hear.) This motion was also carried. Oonsiderable discussion here took place as to whether or not copies of the resolutions should be forwarded to Mr Glad- stone, it being objected that the adoption of such a course would impart to them a political character. It was eventually resolved that the resolutions should be simply sent to the relatives of the deceased. Mr T. W. Evans suggested that, as a committee was at present sitting in London upon the rail- way rates, the chamber should put itself in communication and assist them by giving particulars of overcharges in the district. Several striking instances of overcharges were given by the president, aud it was resolved that a committee be appointed to consider the question of railway rates, and to take action thereon. On the motion of Mr McEwen, it was decided to support Lord Emlyn's motion now before the House of Commons, and to state in the mem- orial the grievance from which the Abordaro people were suffering owing to tho existence of the A beraman Gate. 0 Mr Thomas Phillips said he had no doubt the members remembered the meeting recently t, y held at'the Temparsnce Hall, at which their res- pected high-constable presided, and when the resolutions were passed that the present county- court was insufficient and unsuitable, and a memorial was decided upon to the board of works, soliciting better accommodation. That memorial would be ready iu a day or two, and he moved that tho president be authorised to sign it on behalf of the chamber.—The motion having been seconded, Mr T. W. Evans said lie had been told that thejudge was so disgusted with the court in which he had to sit that day that he adjourned to the police-court to finish the busi ness.—The President also referred to the dirty and inconvenient accommodation of the places where the county-court had to be held, which he said were not healthy for anyono to sit in. He was pleased to see that the judge objected to it, and thought they should protest most strongly. He would The happy to sign any memorial The chamberfsoon afterwards adjourned.
MOUNTAIN ASH LOCAL BOARD.
MOUNTAIN ASH LOCAL BOARD. The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the above Board was held in the board-room, Workman's Hall, Oil Monday afternoon, when there were present Messrs W. Little (chairman), T. Yeo, J. Griffiths, D. Coleman, T. Edwards, R. Evans, W. Pritchard, M. Morgan, W. Morgan, W. Bevan, and the Rev. J. Howell. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. A WELCOME INTIMATION. The Clerk intimated that he had received and paid to the Treasurer the sum of E47 19s 8d from the Pontypridd Union Sanitary Board. being the apportionment of money payable to the Board consequent upon the recent exten- sion of the district. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The following report of the Surveyor was road:— To the Chairman and Members oj the Mountain Ash Local Board. Gentlemen,-I beg to lay before you a plan and estimate showing the proposed new sewer in Henry-street. John Jones is now carrying out the private improvements of this street, and I have reason to believe that he will undertake to carry the work out at my estimate. I have inspected the position of the bin in Clyngwyn-street and find it is a nuisance to the premises referred to inMr Jones's letter I would recommend that it be removed to the centre of the opening of Messrs Clayton & Davies's property. The cost will be about 7s. Mr Howells of Woodland-street drew my at- tention last week to the sewer which comes through his property from Woodland-terrace. I found it full at the bottom house of Woodland- terrace. A large quantity of water and sewer- age comes down this sewer. I would recom- mend that this sewer be disconnected opposite the third house from the bottom of Woodland- street and connect the same with the main sewer by the boundry wall. ,The cost will not exceed f2. The closet and slop connections are proceed- ing satisfactorily, 40 new connections were laid since last board meeting. Darran-las side is nearly completed. Oxford-street and Com- mercial-street are principally Board extensions. There are I believe about 50 connections to be done by the Board. I am of opinion that it would be better that I should have this work carried out by the Board employing two labourers and the Inspector do the mason work required. The whole of the slop and closet connections of the Barracks are completed. Newtown closet connections were finished and part of the slop connections are laid. I expect in the course of a month this district will be completed. Cwmpeunar closet and slop connections are finished. A part of Caegarw has been done. I intend to-morrow -serving notice upon the owners of property to carry out the remaining connections. I beg to report that Messrs Jenkins & Co. have not replaced the batter at Parknewydd. I saw Mr Jenkins the week after your clerk wrote them. He expressed sorrow for what had been done in his absence, and promised to have it remedied at once. I see that he has done a little. I beg to report the slaughter-house requires whitewashing, I have given au order for the same. I beg to report the coping stones on the south parapet of the canal, near the Collier's Arms, Newtown, has been thrown down. The work was evidently done by a grown up person, as a portion of the coping is 5 ft. 6 in. high from the road. Some of the stones are near 100 lbs. in weight. All of them are pitched into the canal, which will make it expensive to replace them. The left wing wall of the Canal bridge near Strand-street is in a very bad state. The sur- face water has partly Undermined it. I would recommend that a dry wall be put in. The cost will not exceed £3. I beg to report the whole of the Board's lamps are now at the Gas Works. I beg to report the contractor put on a large gang of breakers last week. The contractor is now forming and ballasting the road from Pen- rhiwceibr up to Pongeulan. I expect the road will be formed the entire'length by next Board day, excepting the filling over No. 1 culvert, and a small length near Penrhiwceibr.—I beg to remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JNO. BEKRBERT JENkI.\S, NEW SEWER dt HESRY-STREET. MrT. Edwards proposed, and Mr Pritchard seconded, that the new sewer in Henry-street be carried out by John John, at the Surveyor's I estimate, as suggested. REMOVAL OF ASH-BIN. The Surveyor was ordered to remove the ash- bin in Clyngwyn-street to a more convenient spot. SEWER IN WOODLAND-STREBT. The Chairman was of opinion that if they could remedy the nuisaace complained of by Mr Howell for the sum named by the Surveyor, viz £2. they should do it. Air T. Edwards proposed, and Mr Coleman seconded, that the Surveyor's recommendation with regard to the same be carried out. This was agreed to. THE SEWERAGE CONNECTIONS. Mr T. Edwards alluded to the fact that the engagement of the inspector of the sewerage connections was up, although the work was still unfinished. The Chairman said the inspector was engaged under exceptional circumstances and he thought the time had come when his services might be dispensed with. Mr Edwards: I beg to move that the surveyor report all the connections not com- pleted, by next Board, so that we may see how we stand. Mr Bevan: The Inspector told me to my face that we were a lot of old women, and were pav- ing a man for doing nothing; that it would be far better to change the whole lot of us and put strangers in our stead. (Laughter.) Mr Edwards: He knew very well that Mr. Bevan was fond of a little chaff. Mr Edwards's motio I was agreed to DAMAGE TO WALL COPING. The Chairman question the desirability of bringing the question of the damage to the coping so publicly before the Board. Would it not have been better to have given instructions to the police ? The Survoyor said he had taken every pre- caution he could to put a stop to it, but to no purpose. He therefore considered it his duty to bring the matter before the Board. Mr Edwards: I think we should offer a reward of £1 for information. That might lead to their detection and punishment. It really is too bad. The Chairman agreed with the suggestion as to the reward being offered. It was decided to issue placards to that effect, and also include in the announcement the damage to the wall in Allen-street. CANAL BRIDGE NEAR STRAND-STREET. The Clerk was directed to write to Mr Shepheid and draw his attention to the state of the wings of the canal bridge leading to Strand- street, Newtown, and suggest that a dry wall be erected. INSPECTOR OF NUISANCE'S REPORT. The Inspector of Nuisances reported that he had served a number of notices to cleanse foul drains and for the abatement of other nuisances, most of which hadbeen complied with. Eighteen cases of scarlet fever occurred in the district during the last fortnight, being a decrease of five as compared with the previous fortnight. in reply to the Chairman, the Inspector said the fever was now abating. Mr Edwards inquired whether there were any cases at Penrhiwceibr. The Inspector said he had one case reported to him that day, but there had been no other case fox three weeks. It occurred in the same house as before. THE SOUTH WARD. The Clerk, in compliance with a requset made at the last Board meeting by Mr G. Jones, paid that the amount collected in the South Ward was JE446 per annum. PETROLEUM LICENSE. The Clerk stated that he had received an applicatiou from Mr George Archer for a license to sell petroleum. He asked to be allowed to keep it iu casks in a shed in rear of his premises. The rule, however, was that petroleum must be kept in iron tanks. The Chairman It would be very unwise in us to set a precedent, unless we have some reason to alter what we did before. The Clerk was instructed to inform Mr Archer that the Board could only grant him a license on the same conditions as they granted the others. FINANCE. The finance committee's report was read and adopted, from which it appeared there was an overdraft oa the general account of X118 14s Id and on sewerage account of S580 5s 6d. The accounts presented, and which were ordered to be paid, amounted to £157 14s 6d. The Board then separated.
NEW LIFEBOAT FOR ST. BRIDE'S…
NEW LIFEBOAT FOR ST. BRIDE'S BAY PEMBROKESHIRE The National Lifeboat Institution has just sent a new Lifeboat to Littlehaven, near Milford Haven, it having been thought desirable to station a Lifeboat there for use in St. Bride's Bay. The boat which will be moored afloat in a sheltered position under Goldtrop Head, is 33 feet loag, 8-feet wide, and rows 10 oars, double- banked. It was built by Messrs. Woolfe and Son, of Shadwell, London, and possesses the usual characteristics of the boats of the Natienal Institution in regard to self-righting, self ejecting water, &c..which^were fully demonstrated on the occasion of its harbour trial in the Lime. house Canal, London. The expense of the new Lifeboat has been defrayed from a legacy bequeathed to the Institution by the late Mr 0. J. Uorker. of Ramsgate, and the boat is called the Friend. It should be mentioned that the Institution is much indebted to Captain Gold- wyer and other friends for their valuable co- operation in:the organisation of this Lifeboat Establishment. The National Lifeboat Institu tion has now 271 boats under its management —33 of which are stationed on the Coast of Wales—and not a winter passes without some of those boats rendering good sorvice in saving life from shipwreck. It may be mentioned that the cost of a Lifeboat Establish- ment, including the Lifeboat, transporting carriage, equipment of stores, and boathouse^ averages £ 1000, while the expense of maintain- ing it in a state of thorough efficiency amounts to at least £ 70 a year, including rewards to the crew for going off to save life from shipwreck, and Z5 payments for quarterly exercise, and necessary repairs, &c. Contributions in aid of the Life- boat Fund will be gladly received by the differ- ent Bankers and the several local Honorary Secretaries in Wales, and by tho Secretary of the Institution, John Street, Adelphi, London
RHONDf)A VALLEY.
RHONDf)A VALLEY. EXPLOSION, AT CROWN LEVEL OOLMERY.— An explosion, fortunately attended with no loss of life, took place at the Crown Level, situated near the public road between Troorky and Tre- herbert, about half past two on Tuesday after- noon. The level, which is a house coal one and is worked by naked lights, was opened about ten years ago, but for some years has been but very little worked. It is the property of Mr S. W. Kelly, of Cardiff. At present about five men only are employed underground, but ar- rangements were being made to engage a much larger number. At the time already mentioned Mr Kelly, accompanied by the overman, James Harris, was going on a tour of inspection around the workings, and went towards a disused stall in the district which is known as No. 2 West." It would appear that the overman was aware that gas was likely to be met with at that part, and was just on the point of fixing the top to his safety lamp, when a violent explosion of gas took place, blowing himself and Mr Kelly for some distance. The men in the other part of the workings, although frightened at the oc- currence, went to their assistance as soou as possible, and found the overman and Mr Kellv burnt most fearfully they were carried out and doctor's assistance immediately sent for. Dr. Price, Treorky, was on the spot in a few minutes, and seeing the serious state of the injuries, he at once telegraphed for Dr. H. N. Davies, Porth. The latter gentleman drove up immediately, and was soon in attendance, where he remained for some hours. In the meantime James Harris was carried to the Crown Inn, close by, and his injuries attended to, after which he WM Mn- veyed home.' Mr Kelly was carried to the Boar's Head Hotel, and was under the constant attendance of Drs. Davies and Price, l'heir clothes were literally blown off their bodies, and their faces and hands wore burnt most seriously, besides other injuries. Although tho injuries were bad, hopes were entertained of the irre- covery.
