This Morning. BRINGING UP THE DEAD. A GHASTLY SCENE. ABERKENFIG, 10 a.M. The preparations for bringing up the bodies from Park Slip Colliery took considerably more time than was anticipated, and it was between six and seven this morning when the first batch of eight reached, the surface. The delay was due to several causes, and when aU the arrangements appeared to be complete it was found that the raili, which had been laid down over the falls of roof in the main drift, bad not been fixed at the proper gauge. As a result, the trams were con- tinually getting off the line. About 200 people waited patiently at tbe colliery throughout the night, aud this number was augmented in the morning. As the bodies were brought up they were carried on boards speciaUy prepared for tbe pur- pose to the carpenters' shop, examined by the doctors, identified, and placed in coffins, which were either carried to the hay-shed or to the homes of the deceased The scene in the carpenters' shop was ghastly beyond description. When the canvas sheets which covered the corpses were thrown aside it was found that some of the unfortunate men bad been greatly disfigured. The flesh had turned black, and the bodies were swollen to euch an extent as to burst the clothes which the deceased wore. Contrary to what has generally been be- lieved, the bodies in No. 4, which are now being brought up, are burnt in some cases very badly. The swelling was caused by decomposition and burns, and the appearance of the dead was rendered more ghastly by the disinfectants which bad been distributed over them. Judging from one's experience at the top of the pit, working inside must be at present a very unpleasant task, and, as time goes on, tbe condition of the bodies will become worse. The sixteen horses which are in the pit add greatly to the dis- comfort of the gangs of men who are working there. Around the pit's mouth chloride of lime Condy's fluid, and other disinfectants have been freely used. As might be expected, the process of identification is a tedious and painful one. In very few cases have the mourning relatives been able to recognise their dead by thoir features only. Up to the time of writing, however, all the bodies which have been brought to the surface have been identified, and many have been conveyed to their homes. Processions carrying coffins containing the bodies of the deceased follow each other from the pit to Aberkenfig and other villages in the neighbourhood^ the mournful si-lit opening afresh the heart wounds d parents, wives, and children who have their dearly loved ones still in the bowels of tbe earth or on their way home. A very distressing caso is that of T. Hopkin, who, in addition to following lua occupa- tion as a miner, keeps a small shop near the post* omce In Bridgend-road. He was secretary to the Ivorites at Aberkenfig, and was generally beloved. This morning his body was brought home to his widow and his seven children, the oldest of whom is only nine. The distress of the family was indeed pitiful-towitness, and drew forth the sympathy of thtMe who accompanied tbe body from the pit. The second batch of six bodies was brought to the surface about eight o'clock and these again were identified by their relatives The names of those who have been brought out up to the time of writing is fourteen, and their names are:— 1. Thomas Hopkins. 36, fireman. Aberkenfig. 2. Charles Nicholl,18, switchman, Fountain. 3. Wm. Williams (Sheppard), 50, collier. Aber- kenfig. 4. Herbert Saunders, 25, collier. Cefn. 5. Thomas Webster, 23, sliphitcher, Cefn. 6. Thomas David, 21, trimmer. Aberkenfig. 7. James Berwick, 50, collier, Fountain. S. Gwilym Williams, 45, fireman, Lalestou. 9 Edmund Humphries,20, trimmer, Cefn. 10: Thomas William", 26, collier, Aherkenfig. 11. Evan R. Jones, 17, trammer, Aberkenfig. 12. James Bowen, 46, collier. Penyvai. 13. David Harry, collier, Aberkenfig. 14. John Rosier, 22, collier, Tondu. It is expected that the 31 bodies in No. 4 Range will be brought out during the day. and those lying at No. 6 Range will bo afterwards attended to. It will take several days before those which have been discovered, and which are ten less than the total number, in the pit, can be brought to the surface. If no un- foresen circumstances occur, they may be brought up by Sunday, but, as experience has already shown, there are many unavoidable delays in carrying on the work, and it is not at all improbable that further falls will occur. There Wiis, we heard, a heavy fall in the main drift yesterday, 'lhe pumping arrangements have not not yet been irostored, and the water in No. 8 range is increasing. A gang under the charge of Captain Morris, of Maesteg, explored this pnrt of the pit on Sunday and brought about half-a-dozen bodies to the main drift, but since that time attention has been devoted to repairing the sloop. Of courso, the ventilation had to be restored during the time the men were working there, but Mr Morris very wisely, before leaving, tore down the brattices, so that the foul air should not be driven into the return air- way. where a number of men are engaged in reo moving a fail; LATER. A third batch of eight bodies was brought up at half-past eleven o'clock, and were identified- those of— 1. Edward Down, 28, collier, Laleston. 2. Jaiues Cubbs, 19, Fountain. 3. Jumea Evans, 23, collier, Tondu. 4. Enoch Davies, 22, collier, Llangewydd 18' «="»»«. 7 ? £ .fw-nn'1S*,rammer, Penvai. 7. Thomas Wilhains, 20, collier, Llangewvdd 8. George Lyddon, 21, collier, Aberktfnfig. In nearly every case the bodies, after they had been stripped of the sacking in which thoy were enveloped, were identified by either relatives or fellow workmen of the deceased, but in one case identification was established only by a tobacco box, and in another by a pay ticket. The con- diuon of tlie bodies was such that thero was a fearful sickening odour, which necessitated the use of a liberal supply of disinfectants. Later • About one 0 clock nine additional bodies were brougn to the surface, making 31 altogether, i hese, like the others brought up, were very badly -y' very í\d!y disfigured, and at the time of writing had-not been Identified. The female relatives of the men have verv wnely abstained from going to the pit to identify the bodies Dr. Jones, who has examined all the bodies, stated, in reply to a Western Mail reporter, that they were more or k>« burni-some of them very badty- about the face and chest. They were also in a v.ry advanced state of decomposition brought about by the foul air and gas in the pit, The men do net appear to have been knocked about much, and none of those who have been. recovered have sustained fractures of any kind. One of them had a scalp wound. LATER. A little after three o'clock, three more bodies were brought up. making 34 altogether. It is believed that the whole of the men in No. 4 have now been brought out. The additional names are• g I* Thomas Henry Hearson, 18, trammer, Aber- kenfig. 2. Edward Down, 38, ccllier. Laleston. 3. James Gibbs, 19, collier, Fountain. 4- James Evans, 23. collier, Tondn. 5' George Lyddon, 21, collier, Aberkenfig. 4. Enoch Howeil Davies, 22, collier, LIan- gyuwyd. 6. Tltomas Williams, 20, collier. LlaLgwydd., 7. David Bowen. lb. collier, Penyfai. 8- Thomns Bowen. 13. trammer. Penyfai. 10. Ricliard Davies, 26, collier, Penyfai. 11. David Jones, machineman, 18, collier, Law- street, Cefn. 13.

There will be no more no more bodies brought to the surface to-day. Funeral Arrangements. So far as can be gathered, there will be no in- terments to-day, but a large number will pro- bably take place to-morrow, the condition of the bodies being such as to admit of no delay in burial. Twenty graves are being cut in St. John's church- yard, and the services over those persons who belong to the Church of England, will be conducted by the Rev. David Davies, vicar of Newcastle, Rev. W. Christopher,Rev. D. PhiMips,vicar of Llangehior, Rev. David Pugh (rector of Battws), and tbe Rev. James Jones (chaplain of the county asylum). Of t.ho congregation of Ebenezer Baptist Chapel, five of the dead will be buried at Penyvai, four at Coity, three at Dansaiotfraed, two each at Llangynwydd and St.John'a^nd one at Btynmenin, and the Rev. E. Davies (the minister of the chapel) will be assisted in performing the burial rites by the Rev. S. Jones, Coychurch, and the Rev. J. G. Jones, Ogmore Vale. Of the Congregationalists nine are to be buried at Nebo Cefn and two at St. John's, the officiating minister being the Rev. M. Richards. Almost all the dead men who had lived at Fountain were members of the Wealeyan Church established at that place, and their funerals will be conducted by the Rev. Levi James. There will be a few burials also in the churchyard of St. Bride's Minor. Letter of Sympathy. The Rev. P. Neville Andrews (chairman of the Cardiff and Swansea Wesleyan Synod) has written a letter to the Rev. Levi James, of Tondu, express- ing his deepest sympathy with those who have been bereaved by the terrible catastrophe.

Cayzer, of Ralstcn, Renfrewshire, M.P. for Barrow- iu-Furness. Although Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, from reasons of health, expressly desired that co deputa- tion from Hungary should visit him this year on his 90th birthday, the Independent Party has named a deputation to go to Turin on the 18th of September. Monster meetings and a torchlight procession will take place in Buda-Pesth in his honour, and more fetes will be held after the deputation's return from Turin. The auditor has staggered the Kingston-on- Thninea Guardians by disallowing £26 18s. 7d. ncurred for dinners. &c., when visiting boarded- out children at Hampton. The item was chiefly made up of champagne nnd cigar bills. Another sum of £4 7s., incurred by anotiier deputation in travelling expenses and refreshments, was also struck out, as was a third item for £5 12s. 6d. for the hire of coaches and providing the cabmen with silk hats at the late chairman's funeral. A terrible story comes from Paris of a gentleman whose face was turned completely black by the effect of a thunderstorm. That, at least, was the condition in which his terrified wife found him in tbe morning when she summoned the commissary of police and the doctor to his aid. Happily, it was discovered that the blackness was due to ink and not electricity, the wife having baptised him in the terror of the stormy night with what she supposed to be the contents of a holy water-bottle and was really ink. There is a frog-pond near Lewiston, Maine, where the sheriff empties all the liquor seized by his deputies. The other night a man passing the pond was amazed to see the frogs swimming about with dazed and half-fashioned strokes and others toddling on the bank. The best that he could make out of it was that they had been celebrating upon the contraband stuff that the deputy sheriffs had spilled hito the pond the day before. We ask our readers to note that the story is from America. Consternation haa seized certain Russian officials at the drastic manner in which the Czar has punished some officials proved to be guilty of cor- ruption. An investigation having established the fact that there has been great extravagance in the administration of the public funds assigned for engineering works, a number of Government engineers, including M. Avrinsky, Superintendent of Ways and Communications for the Government of Mohileff, have just been dismissed by the Czar from the public service. Dr. Parker said recently that he regarded Mr Gladstone as a downright Pope," with an eceIosMsticat mind of a very intricate 6t.ructure. whereas Lord Beaconsfield was no doubt a man of prayer, a man of profound moral consecration, a man of infinite coneciencc," who impregnated the Conservative party with the same wonderfuj conscientiousness. He could not work with noa- religious people to obtain disestablishment, was doubtful whether it might notiielp Popery, and he had arrived at the conclusion that disestablish- ment will probably never-coma m England."

PETERSBURG, Tuesday (Reuter).-The Novoe Vremya, which says that it has re- ceived its information from trustworthy sources, publishes the following statement regarding the recent collision between Uussiana and Afghans ia the Pamir district The Russian force, which was under the com- mand of Colonel Yonoff, consisted of onlv nineteen cossacks. The scene of the encounter whioh is described as a mere skirmish, Was a spot called Sama Tash, in the neighbourhood of the Jasohil Kul. The statement that this place bad bean for a long time occupied by the Afghans is declared to be totally inoorrect, as only a comparatively short tim&ago there was a Chinese outpost there, afterwards taken, however, by the Ameer's forces. In support of this it is pointed out that when Colonel Yenoff visited the Alichur Pamir in 1891, he was able to fully convince himself of the entire absence of traces of Afhan occupation. The territory was, moreover, out-side the sphere of Afghan rule. The Russian loss was three wounded.

Professor Tout, formerly of St. David's College, Lampecer, is now engaged on writing a biography of Edward I. for the excellent series of "Twelve English Statesmen," published by Messrs. Macmillan and Co. Among those who have already contributed to the series are Mr. John Morley (on Waipole), the Earl of Rosebery (on Pitt), the late Professor Freeman (on William t.he Conqueror), Bishop Creighton (on Wolsey), and Mr. Frederic Harrison (on Oliver Cromwell). Welshmen will look forward with interest to Pro- fessor Tout's book, as in it they will be sure to find a ttustworthy account of the Conquest of Wales by Edward, and of the struggle for independence of Llywelyn ein Llyw Olaf, while no doubt full justice will also be done to the great English conqueror, law-giver, and organiser—the one whom Bishop Stubbs considers tho greatest of all the English Kings. Morieo," however, entertains a. different opinion Various opinions are given of the Home Secre- tary's visit to the scene of the Tondu explosion. Some papers say it was very good of him to give up part of his holiday for such an excellent pur- pose, and others rather uncharitably hint at politi- cal capital. The Loudon Echo strikes a middle course, and for that reason is less distant from the truth. "New Ministers," says our contem- porary* are like new brooms, anxious to make a good beginning, and, accordingly, we read that Mr. Asquith, the Home Secretary, with commendable promptitude, went personally to the scene of the disastrous colliery accident in Wales." The Tall M-all Gazette thinks it an ex- cellent thing th*t the Secretary of State should inform himself of things at first hand, and suggests that Mr- Punch's standing joke of calling the Home Secretary for the time being as the "not-at-Home Secretary" will lose its point if Mr. Asquith goe« on aa he has begun.
-----ITHE CHOLERA.5
I THE CHOLERA.5 I The Press Association Gravesend correspon- dent telegraphs:—The schooner Helens, which arrived about midnight in tow of a Dover tug- boat, was found, on being inspected by Dra. Whitoombe and Collmgridge, to have two CMes of cholera on board. The vessel was at once placed in quarantine, and the patients were this morning removed to the sanitary hospital. The Helene left Hamburg for America on tbe 20fcb, but has been under quarantine off Dover since Saturday. The SHvio, from Hamburg, which arrived this morning, has also been placed under quarantine. Site has only two passengers on board. The Press Association learns npon inquiry at the London Hospital this morning that the child, Ida Samyan, daughter of the Busso-Polish Jews who arrived in London on Saturday from Bam- burg, nnd who was admitted to the hospital suffering from clioloratc Symplons, is no better. The authorities are not yet certain, however, that her case is one of cholera. The Press Association Chatham correspondent telegraphs General Forster, commanding the Thames and Me J way District, which embraces the garrisons at Woolwich, Sheeraess, Gravesend, Chatham, and the whole of the ports on the Thames and Medwny, issued a district order this morning impressing upon tbe medical officers the necessity of taking all precautions against the introduction or outbreak of cholera, and directing special atten- tion to be paid to sanitary arrangements. Admiral Morait, superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, has also eiven orders to the medical staff for all pie ventive measures to be taken and for a plentifu supply of antidotes to be kept at the dockyard surgery. State of Paris. A Dalziel's Paris telegram this morning says To-day's AuUrriti says a new department was opened at the Hospital La Charite, five cases of cholera being admitted. At the Pitie Hospital most of the patients are dock labourers, eno of whom died in the course of the evening. At the Hospital La Gharite there are now eight cases at that of the St. Louis seven new cases are under treatment. Last night one of the sitters attending the patients caught the cholera, from which one of the attendants at the St. Louis Hospit,al died. At the St. Antoine Hospital there are now five, and at the Hotel Dieu two, new cases. During tlie last month 60 patients have been treated for cholera at the Beaujon Hospital, where seven deaths have occurred. There are also several cases at the Laribaisere Hospital.

WELSH SUNDAY CLOSING ACT.
WELSH SUNDAY CLOSING ACT. Shebeening at Cardiff. 323rd Conviction Since September. Several charges of ebebeening were lieard at Cardiff Police-court this afternoon, the magistrates present being Dr, H. J. Paine and Alderman David Jones. Catherine Collins first appeared to answer a charge of eeHing beer without a licence at No. 28. Daniel-street. It was at once seen that defendant was under the influence of drink and the case was consequently put back for hearing on Wednesday. Jane Walker was charged with an illicit sale of beer at No. 1, Smeaton-street, on August 21.— Police-constable Durston, with another officer, watched the premises, and in an hour saw four- teen persons enter and the same number leave. The officers afterwards entered the bouse under power of a warrant, and in a rossi found a 4i- gallon cask containing beer and a number of cops and glasses. In the back yard they found another AJ-gallon cask, which bad evidently been recently emptied.—Defendant was fined £3 and costs, or one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Daniel Desmond was next charged with an illicit, sale of beer at No. 47, Mary Ann-street, on the 21st inst.—The premises were watched by Police- constabbes Gouge and Dicks, the former of whom now gave evidence in support of the charge.—A previous conviction having been proved against defendant be was ordered to pay a fine of JE20 and costs, or imprisonment for two months with hard labour. Michael Sullivan pleaded guilty to selling beer without a. licence at 40, Mary Ann-street, on August 21.—Police-constables Dicks and Gouge watched the house and saw a number of men and women enter. Inside they found every evidence of the sale.—The Bench ordered defendant to pay a fine of £5 and costs, with the alternative of one month's imprisonment, with hard labour. Elizabeth Hughes, living at 11, Peel-street, WAS charged with an illicit sale 6f beer at that address on August 21.—A number of persons were seen to enter and leave the premises, and inside several people were found drinking.—A previous convic- tion having been proved defendant was ordered to pay a fine of £20 and costs, with the alternative of two months' imprisonment.

LOCAL SPORT.
LOCAL SPORT. The Weiring of the Taff-A Grand Full Baok-Welsh Assosiation international Fixtures—First We're Up and then Vve'rs Down-Fcotball Commences on Satur- day—Professionalism in Yorkshire. I have not bearJ officially when the Peaartb sports, postponed last Saturday on account of the weather, are to come off, but I understand it will be on Saturday next. This is rattier unfortunate, as tbe Harlequins are holding sports and a nine-a- side football competition on that day. It wili be especially awkward if JocaJ peds. have entered for both meetings. Cannot one of the meetings be postponed until the following Wednesday, as tlie uufortunnte clashing wiU moan that neither sports wid pay ? The idea of weiring the Taff is evidently a very ancient one in Cardiit, as so far back as May 14, 1886, Mr. J. P. Jones, speak- ing at the "InviaciMe" club dinner, said "he thought the mayor might take it that tlie athletes of Cardiff generally would be glad if the corporation could see thek way to make on the River Taff a sheet of water suitable fox boating purposes." If talk goes for anything surely the corporation have been badgered erongh, and for the rest they havo had lately they ought to do somesbuig for us. The entries for the Harlequins' Football Tour- nament close to-morrow (Wednesday). The com- petition is open to members of any clubs or to any party of footballers, each team to consist of nme' players. One of the fiuest foH backs that ever appeared on the Cardiff ArmsPar-k was D. Gage, of the Maori's team. In the match with Cardiff he played a faultless game, and repeatedly saved wl at looked like certain tries. I have receweda notice from Mr. John Taylor, I of Wrexham, which states that the annual meeting of the Football Association of Wales, for the elec- tion of officers and members of the council for the ensuing season, will be held at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham, on Monday next. The following are the dates for the season 1892-93 :— INTERNATIONAL MATCHES. March 13,1893, Wales 11. England, io England. March 18,1893, Wales v. Scotland, in Wales. April 8,1893, Wales v.

Brown, of the Cotswold Harriers, showed further evideoce of his good form at a mile at Bridgwater on Thursday, when he easily captured the mile handicap. Since bis victory at Mon- mouth on August Bank Holiday If Emy" has un. successfully competed at Gloucester, Stockport, Bridgnorth, and Bath, so that Thursday's victory came all the more welcome after so long a series of losses. Married life appears to agree with bim, and noiiiing would please his father, Jimmy" Brown, a well-known figure at Welsh athletic meetings, more than to see bis offspring follow iu the footsteps of Whittick, the erstwhile Cotswold crack. A correspondent suggests that although Newport may experience another briliiapt season during 92-3 they must shortly fall off, as most of the players, are getting well advanced in years. "A. J. however, appears to be like old wine, and improves with keeping. On the other hand, Cardiff, he says, whilst having a hard struggle before tbem in tbeooming tieason, have a lot of young players who in time will possibly make good men, and so when Newport goes down we may go up. Ah well, it's like everything else in this weary life, first you're up and then you're down; we IDUS t take everything as it comes. We are told that Kibblewhite, the amateur champion, will positively put in an appearance at the Cardiff Licensed Victuallers' sports to be bold on September 21. For the sake of the sports and their object I trust this will be so, but the worthy champion has disappointed so many times that I shall not believe it until I see him there. Saturday next will be a busy day in the North and Midlands, both in Rugby and association circles, the principal clubs in both games making i a start m downright earnest. If ever professionalism comes into recognised existence in Yorkshire (says tlie Athletic 2V«cs), it wilt be through the influences and practices of the yoiwger rather than tbe older clubs. Tbe writer knows a case in which a wing three-quarter back a season ago offered to join one of the best dubs in too kingdom. When asked recently it he was of the same mind, he replied with some queries. I want to know fairly what you do for players ? was liis point-blank question. We do nothing, was the reply. What do you give them when on tour?" "Nothing; we only pay expenses." "Don't you pay for broken timer"' "No, we do not." Then I am going to stay where I am." And he looks like staying. What is the ioference ? —— This, of course, is one side of the question; but there is sometimes, generally always, another side. I could advance equally interesting items provided by the conversation of representatives of various clubs in their attempts to induce players to leave tbe land of their birth for the broad acred shire. A writer in the above-mentioned journal con- gratulates Yorkshire football men, and the Alliance Clubs and Yorkshire County Committee in par- ticular, on the bighly satisfactory solution of the football crisis. The committee acted with praise- worthy cotnmoa sense in acknowledging both the right of the allied dobs to have the competition they have contended for, and also the fact that the original opposition to the scheme was ill- advised and untenable. Under the circumstances the unpleasant controversies between the allied clubs and the Yorkshire authorities may be buried and forgotten, and both sides can be congratulated on the restoration of harmony and unity to York- shire football. The meeting of the Talbot Stars held on Satur- day night resulted in the following officers being elected Captain, A. Fussei; hon. sec., T. K>»ine, 109, Tudor-road; treasurer, T. Evans committee, Messrs. A. Fussell, S. Bennett, T. Evans, T. Knioe, W. J. Tueker, A. Sanders, and A. Rowles. The secretary informs me that be has still a few open dates. The good old time-honoured rain was respon- sible for stopping a lot of sport on Saturday. The Cardiff and Llanelly match was declared off, and so were the sports at Penarth. The latter, I believe, have been postponed until Saturday next. By the way, what about Uie swimming baths ? I have heard nothing of them la. ely. It looks as if we are DOt going to get anything out of the cor- poration in this respect. There is stills rumour down Swansea way that the Jameses are averse to taming out during the coming seMOn. Such rumours concerning promi cent players are always current just before tbe commencement of a. season, bub in this case there seems to be good grounds for the gossip. The Morriston committee affect to treat lightly the defection of the-two forwards whose names I gave in this -colnmn>a few days ago. I am afraid however, that there-will ba a different tale when the MMoaopees. j „ ATBMSra

- TONDU EXPLOSION. .
—-• but I am informed by a telegram from Bridgend I that the (distress consequent upon the disaster is I appalling. For nearly 30 years appeals liave been L made from the Mansion House whenever great colliery accidents have happened in this country, and they have invariably been responded to with great generosity but on this occasion may I make brief personal allusion to this particular calamity ? I happen to be a native of South Wales, my home being a short distance from the scene of this disaster, and it is only a few weeks ago, when I visited Bridgend, that these colliers and their wires flocked out to see the Welsh Lord Mayor. The sudden and appalling catastrophe which has plunged the district into desolation and misery must surely appeal espe- cially to Welshmen, like myself, and to them par- ticularly, as well as to the public at large, I would address this urgent plea for aid."

Job, Mr. L. G. Jones, Mr. it. Humphreys, Mr. F. Harrison. Mr H. G. Davits, grocer Mr. James Barrow, Mr. C. B. Morris, and the ministers of all denominations. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. HARVEY said that, on behalf of himself and his colleagues on the board of directors of North's Navigation Company, he might mention that the chairman, Colonel North, was absent m Belgium when he received the sad news, and, consequently, it wtn absolutely impossible forhim to be among them on that deplorable occasion. However, he came immediately to England, and arrived on Sunday night. They had received telegrams from him that day stating that, he was in acttve co-opera- tion with the Lord Mayor in the formation or IL fund for the relief of the sufferers. Words were inadequate to express the profound sorrow which this calamity bad caused to the board of directors, and it only remained for them now to show their sympathy in a tangible and palpable manner. He was deputed by his colleagues to say that the company would commence to form the nucleus of a fond by a subscription of JE500. (Henr, lienr.) The chairman (Colonel North) would give indi- vidually C250 besides; Mr. John Waite would give jElOO; Mr. Richard Lockett would give £100, and lie h'mpelf would give £100. (Applause.) Messrs. jfflrster Brown and Rees, the company's good and kind engineers, would also give £ 100, and their •worthy secretary's firm of Hodgson, Smith, and iBri"gs would give £50. That amounted altogether to £ 1200. (Applause.) He hoped the fund would increase an*1 multiply a hundredfold. With these I few remarks. and again expressing the sincere sorrow of the board at this deplorable catastrophe, he proposed- That Colonel Picton Turbervill be appointed treasurer of the fund. The motion was seconded by Mr. D. P. Thomas and carried, and upon the proposition of the Rev W. Christopher seconded by the Rev. Evan Davies. Mr. R. Rpbioson and Mr. L. G. Jones were ap, pointed joint secretaries. Mr. T. Fob8t«B BROwN paid he did not think they ought to separate before according a vote of thanks to the eolnery workmen and various other persons who had been the means of rescuing the men who had been saved Be had had to do with many large explosions in one wav and another, but be had never known any explosion of this impor- tance in which- the workh.es aud the men had been arrived at and the mine explored so promptly. He, therefore, moved a Voto of thanks to the rescuer". Mr. LOCKETT, in seconding the resolution, said the company owed a debt of GRATITUDE to the men who had gone down the mine to save the lives of their fellow-creaturo. In putting the resolution-which was of coarse, carried—the CHAIRMAN said that no one WEARING the Victoria Cross had ever shown more courage And travsry th&n soiuo ot explorers. Alderman Joshs said that in the resolution I proposed by Mr. Forster Iiiown no reference WH* made to the med.ICIII gentlemen, and he thought, possibly, they mi^ht- gi ve umbrage to those }>ent.It- f men, who hud acted so noble and hmve a part. The doctors had run equal riaft with others wlv* had gone down the pit, and upon *11 occasions they had found numbers of the j & I medical profession ready to imperil their lives, whether attending; cases of disease or attending cases of accidents like this. Mr. T. FOBSTBJS BROWN said lie had iutendsd to include all who had gone down the mine. The medical men were as useful, probably, as many in saving the lives of the rescued men. But for their attendance underground many of those men would not, have been living. Dr. THOMAS, in sicknowledging the vote, said the medical men had only done their duty. The work was quite now to them, but, still, they felt they were engaged in a noblo woric. Some of the men would not have come up alive, he believed, but for the sustenance nnd attention they received from the members of his profession. (Hear, hear.)
