Mountain Ash District Council. TUESDAY.—Mr. W. Miliar, J.P., in the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Thos. Jo-iies, G. A. Evans, J.P., Griffith Evans, Rev. E. V. Tidman, John Charles, W. Evans, Evan Morris, Silas Williams, G. H. Hall, W. Lam- burn, John Powell, and Wm. Davies, with Mr. H. P. Linton (clerk), Mr. P. Stock (assistant clerk), and Mr. Price (assistant surveyor). HOMEBTON STREET. Mr. G. H. Hall called attention to- the state of Hoinerton-street, Tyntetown. He lu:derstood .that notices -had been served upon the owners six or eight months ago. Slight repairs had been done, but the houses were still in a deplorable state. The inhabitants had to go from the kitchen to the front room to eat their food owing to the stanch at the back. The sewer was running within a yard of the back door. He moved that the- medi- cal inspector be instructed to visit those houses. Mr. Wm. Evans seconded.—Carried. Mr. Jones,, the sanitary inspector, said that he had served notices 011 the agent of those houses, but that person had now left and a new agent was in his place. It would be necessary now to serve notices on the new agent. Rev. E. Y. Tidman proposed that this be done. Ir. C. A. Evans seconded.—Carried. TENDER CANCELLED. Mr. Watkin Williams, contractor, Pontypridd, whose tender had been ac- cepted for erecting the proposed new Miskin Higher Standard School, wrote that he did not understand that the sur- plus earth was to be carted up the moun- tain. He was not at all a sweet n on the job, particularly because the work had been delayed till the winter season. He did not care to withdraw, but unless the Council agreed to allow him to tip the tarth on adjoining ground, or pay an ex- tra price for carting it away, he would ask the Council to pass him by. Mr. Wm. Evans proposed that the next tender be adopted, which was Y-86 higher. Mr. J. Powell seconded. This was carried, the successful tender- er now being Messrs. Jones Bros., Tre- harris. STOREKEEPER. The Stores Committee had reduced the number of applicants for the post of storekeeper to three, who now appeared before the Council. They were: Mr. W. D. Isaac, Maesteg; Mr. W. E. Richards, Aberavon, and Mr. E. Harris, Rhayadr. Mr. G. A. Evans asked Richards if he was married. Applicant: No, sir. 1fr. E. Morris: I suppose you intend to be (Laughter.) Mr. J.. Charles: It may be safe to say that you hope to be married. v Mr. J. Powell: It is safer to say noth- ing on that point. (Laughter.) In the division Isaac obtained 9 votes and Richards 4. Isaac was therefore appointed. STREET NOISES. Mr. T. Mansel Franklen, writing with regard to streets noises, said that it was competent for the Council officers or a member of the public to enforce the bye- laws, or to assist the police to carry them out. Mr Franklen further asked whether the Council had appointed an inspector to enforce the Shop Hours Act. Mr. Linton said he did not agree with Mr. Franklen. If the District Council took proceedings, and an appeal were rcade against a favourable decision to the Council, they might land themselves in serious difficulty. They might, i1 they liked, take counsel's opinion on the mat- ter. Mr. Linton further stated it was not an offence for a person to create a noise and awake a man who might be in bed. It only became an offence when the person who created a noise refused to de- part when told by the inmates. Mr. G. A. Evans: So the same person could repeat the noise in different parts ct the town and escape punishment so long as he did not annoy the same party twice? Clerk: Yes. Mr. W. Lamburn: It is a most ridicu- lous position to be in. It is not very en- couraging to proceed any further. Mr. Charles did not think it was any use having Counsel's opinion. Mr. H. P. Linton: Let the police take it up. Mr. Wm. Evans said that the police had interfered in Abercynon, and fines had been inflicted. Mr. Hall: We have power to prevent street criess on Sunday under the Moun- tain Ash Bill. It seems strange that we have power on Sundays and not on week days. Chairman: That was the power we sought. Mr. Hall: My impression is that we sought power for every day. On the motion of Mr. J. Powell, second- ed by Mr. Wm. Evans, it was decided to obtain counsel's opinion. SHOP HOiURS ACT. Mr. Hall asked who was the inspector to carry out the provisions of the Shop Hours Act. Sanitary Inspector: I am. I start at 9 in the morning. and I don't know what time I finish at night. Mr. Hall: I am afraid we expect too much of our inspector. THE CANAL. Mr. Lewis Llewelyn, of the Glamorgan Caral Co., wrote agreeing to meet the Council re bridge widenings. It was decided to meet him on Friday next. The County Council wrote enclosing a copy of the medical officer's report on the condition of th Aberdare Canal, and re- questing the Council to cause the proprie- tors to flush the canal sufficiently to keep it in a sanitary condition. The matter was left until Friday. DECLINED THE INVITATION. Messrs. Wm. Coslett, David Hughes, Wm. H. Coopey, and David H. Davies, Nos. 118, 119, 120, and 121, Woodland- street, Mountain Ash, complained of the state of the roadway. The letter con- eluded: U 1V Ð would like you to come here when it is raining heavily to see what you think of it, and see how you would like to live here." (Laughter.) On the motion of Mr. G. A. Evans, the letter was referred to the Surveyor. ABERCYNON RECREATION GROUND. Correspondence was read regarding the road to the proposed Recreation Ground. i The question was deferred. SMALL-POX HOSPITAL. Mr. T. Mansel Franklen wrote stating that unless the Mountain Ash Council satisfied Lhe Sanitary Committee by Dec. 10th that they would take early steps to provide a Small-Pox Hospital, the Com- mittee would consider the question of making a compulsory order. Referred to Hospital Committee. A NICE BILL TO PAY. LEGAL COSTS, = £ 3,114. Messrs.

The Post Office tender for telephone connection with Brigade members' houses was referred to committee. HOSPITAL FULL.

Inquests at Mountain Ash, CORONER AND UNDUE HURRY. On Tuesday evening, at the Police Station, Mr. R. J. Rhys held an inquiry concerning the death of James Nicholas, Pendeen House, Llanwonno Road. Morris Nicholas deposed he was the son of the deceased, who was 49 years of age. His father had been employed at C'wm- pennar as a collier. He was hurt on Friday afternoon, and was taken to the hospital, where he died the same evening. —Miss Harris, matron of the Cottage Hospital, stated that deceased was re- ceived into the hospital on Friday after- noon, suffering from compound fracture of both legs and fractured ribs. No oper- ation was performed as the case was hopeless. Death took place about 9 o'clock the same evening.-John Jones, a boy of 14 years, stated he was working with James Nicholas. They left work about a quarter to two. He walked with Nicholas as far as the junction. Both of them had lights. They passed a full journey and then went into the manhole. The journey was standing still, but after a little while someone shouted All right," and Nicholas left the manhole. A little while afterwards the journey started. Witness next saw Nicholas lying down.—Morgan Morgan, collier, stated that he, deceased, and the boy passed about six trams before entering the man- hole. Some one shouted out, "Look out." The fireman passed on the oppo- site side, and a few minutes afterwards some one shouted out All right." De- ceased crossed the shackle and witness -followe,d. When he noticed the trams starting he crouched against the wall. He heard no shout, but came across Nicholas's lamp about five or six yards on in the middle of the road. Samuel Williams, collier in the same district, stated that he crossed the shackle first, and Nicholas followed close behind him. The journey started when he got close into the side. He heard no cry, and did not see what happened.—Replying to the Coroner, witness said he saw the lamp a few yards up, but didn't see the deceased carried past, nor the light go out.—Cor- oner: Now, Williams, I want you to tell the whole truth, and I don't believe you are doing so.-Witness, continuing, stated that when the fireman passed them he said he would tell them when everything was all right.—James Perrott, fireman of the district, stated there were 18 trams in the journey. He saw some men behind the journey, waiting to go out. He told them he would tell them when to come out. The men he spoke to then were not the men in the manhole. He did not shout to anyone to come out. He got out, and just as he cleared the first tram the journey moved up.—Wm. Griffiths, rider, stated he shouted "Look up." He wait- ed a little while, and then signalled to the engine driver. He was then standing at the side of .-the journey, and the trams passed him. He got on the last tram and rode down. He heard nothing and saw nothing until the last tram was passing out, where he found deceased between the wheels. Deceased told him he had been dragged along by the trams. James Davies, haulier, deposed he rode on the last tram with Griffiths, the rider. De- ceased asked witness to lift his body up, which he did, and then took the journey on.—John Powell, M.E., manager of the pit, produced plans of the workings. De- ceased made a statement to him that he had been dragged by the journey.—Re- plying to Mr. A. T. Iaiiies, witness stated he had not received any complaint as to the journey going out so late—at least not from that district.—Summing up, the Coroner said that here was a case of another life lost through the tremendous hurry to get out. It was an increasing source of clanger.—The jury returned a verdict that deceased met his death through a misunderstood order from the rider, aii.d iio blame was attached to any- one. The same morning an inquiry was held into the cause of the death of William Lewis, 2a, Cliff Street-—David Morgan, father-in-law of deceased, identified. De- ceased was a married man, 26 years of age, with three children. He was killed in the pit at Penrhiwceiber. James Robertson, haulier, stated that Lewis was a rider, and stood by him on the pointers. Deceased got on the front tram as the trams were moving. Deceased was found about 550 yard away out.-Allen Tothill deposed he found Lewis about 7.30 a.m. last Saturday morning, just on the top of the road, lying between the rails. He was quite dead, The journey was about 20 yards away.—Wm. Morgan, haulier, deposed he was standing on the cross roads when the accident occurred. There was a tram on the other road, and he knocked stop to put that on.—Mr. E. L. Hann produced plans of the working.— Wm. Jones, engine driver, deposed it was his engine' that was pulling the journey out from the bottom parting. He noticed no drag on' the engine, and didn't know a tram had been off the road. The engine was running quite smoothly. — Verdict: Accidental death."

Representation of Mer-thyra Boroughs. Conservative Candidate Recommended. Mr D. A. Thomas and Mr Keir Hardie are not to be allowed a walk-over at the next general election. There is a Con- servative candidate in the field. On Saturday night, at the Merthyr Constitutional Club, Mr Fox Davies met a deputation representing the various branches of the boroughs Conservative Association and the different Constit- utional Clubs in the constituency, these gentlemen forming practically a commit- tee of selection. Mr Wm. Griffiths (Merthyr) presided over the conference, at which there were present Colonel D. Bees Lewis, Mr W. W. Meredith, Mr T. Nibloe, Mr A. P. Jones, Mr T. Lloyd, and several other stalwarts of the Con- servative cause. Mr Fox Davies gave an exposition of his views on the political questions of the day. He declared that he would offer the most. uncomp\,omising opposition to the granting of Koine Rule to Ireland, which was evidently going to be one of the issues upon whifch the next general election was to be fought. He defended the House of Lords against the attacks made upon it, saying that she peers had never set themselves in antagonism to what they knew to be the real will of the people. He denounced what he termed the revolutionary proposals of the Budget, especially those in relation to the licens- ing, death, and increment duties, and spoke strongly in favour of Tariff Preform. Finally he dealt with the dangers of Socialism. It was determined to recommend Mr Fox Davies for adoption by the Asso- ciation. Mr Arthur Charles Fox-Davies is 38 years of age, having been born in Bristol in 1871. His father, a member of the Society of Friends, was a native of Cardigan town. He has achieved fame as an author of various works, including many novels. He has also distinguished himself as a journalist. Four years ago he was called to the Bar. )

Liberal Meeting at Moun- 1…
Liberal Meeting at Moun- tain Ash. Speech By M Hemmepde, M.P. ? On Tuesday evening the Drill Hall at Mountain Ash was crowded to excess en the occasion of a public meeting in support of the Budget, which was addressed by Mr E G Hemmerde, M.P. The meeting was convened by the Mountain Ash branch of the League of Young Liberals. The Chairman (Dr Arthur Jones) said that the principles which underlay this Budget were those held for decades by the leaders of the Liberal party, but, unfor- tunately, they had been held merely as principles, as ideals, as dreams. They had been held in the past by another dreamer, who to-day called them revolutionary. (Laughter and applause.) To-day, how- ever, a gallant, little Welshman, Mr David Lloyd George—(applause)—had determined, -(al --h, Lloyd George—(applause)—had determined, to convert the principles into realities. (Cheers.) Mr E G Hemmerde, M.P., said'there were four main principles in the Budget, but be only intended to deal mLtinJv with one of these principles. It was impossible to get much enthusiasm against the super- tax, or the increased death duties, they affected so few. (Laughter.) A man who earned £ 1 a week had to pay Is 7d a £ in taxation, while the man who earned Xi,ooo paid Is in the X, and now that the Govern- ment was going to ask him to pay Is 6d it was called "Revolution." (Laughter.) Dealing with the land clauses he said Mr Chamberlain 25 years ago roused the coun- try on the question, but never moved a finger to effect it. To-day the principles of che Budget as embodied in the land clauses were supported not only by Liberals and Socialists, but by every Conservative in the North of England. Every municipality except Birmingham had petitioned Parlia- ment in favour of the taxation of land I values. Resolutions in favour of this principle had been passed in the House of Commons during the last two Parliaments. In 1905 such a resolution was passed unop- posed in a Tory House of Commons. The present Budget proposed first of all to value the whole of the land. (Hear, hear.) That was not a revolution- Oh, but," he said, "It will cost the landlords so much." "All right," the Government said, "the state will pay," and the land- lords were no more pleased. In future the man would have his land rated on his own. valuation, and in cases where there were wonderful windfalls the state must get back 5 per cent. of it, (Cheers.) The fight with the Lords was bound to come. If the Lords threw out the Budget]he hoped the fight would come soon, and if they did not not throw it out he hoped it would come soon. (Hear, hear.) It was time to I adjust the relations between the two Houses. To accept rebuff after rebuff from the Lords was more than people could endure. (Applause.) Wheii the fight came he hoped the Liberals and the Socialists would be united, and that every Liberal in the constituency would support Mr Keir Hardie, and. that every Socialist would accord his support to Mr D. A. Thomas. (Applause.) On the proposition of Mr A. T. James, (solicitor), seconded by Mr D. M. Richards (Aberdare), a resolution was unanimously carried approving of the Budget proposals, and pledging the meeting to support the Government in guarding the constitutional rights of the House of Commons.
Football.
Football. BY SPECTATOR," ASSOCIATION. Aberdare met Llanbraclach oh Monday afternoon at the Ynys Enclosure before a very small crowd. The game was in- tended originally to be a Welsh Cup-Tie, but the bad state of the ground was pro- tested against by the visitors, and a friendly was indulged in. When this became known to the spectators, a certain section who frequent matches on the Dare ground demanded their "tanners" back. The game was a. very one-sided affair, and had the Darians taken matters seriously they would have put on a double figure score. As it was they got through the de- fence on four occasions, Llanbraclach re- plying with one goal. ABERAMAN FOOTBALL. Both the Aberaman Windsors' Glamor- gan League 'team and Aberdare and Dis- trict League team evenly divided hon- ours with their opponents on Saturday. The Aberdarians played at Mountain Ash against St. Teilo. The team was: Goal, Charlie' Rees; backs, W. Rees and F. Collier; halves, S. Kedward, E. Jones, and C. Davies; forwards, S. Chattington, W. Smith, B. Veal, R. Edwards, and D. Anthony. Mountain Ash scored an easy goal early in the game. Sid Chatting- ton equalised. In the second half the homesters were the first to score, owing to W. Rees fumbling the ball at full-back. Then St. Teilo conceded a corner, which one of their own men put into the net, and thus equalised. for the Windsors. The game was left drawn. The senior team were obliged, on their own ground, to concede a valuable league point to Gilfach Reserves. The Wind- sors were distinctly unfortunate. With- in ten minutes of the final whistle they were leading by 3 goals to 1, but their opponents scored two goals in quick suc- cession. This brought the score to 3 goals each.
