The first witness was his brother, William Williams, who gave evidence of identification. Richard Thomas Vaughan said he saw deceased's bodv under the river bridge near the Plough Tip, Aberaman, at 3.45 a.m. on Saturday. He had evi- dently fallen over while on his way home, and he was quite dead. Wit- ness said he waS on his way to work at the time. D. C. Davies, landlord of the Lamb and Flag, Aberaman, deposed that de- ceased was at his house at 10.30 the previous night. The watch in de- ceased's pocket had stopped at 10.40. Dr. Murphy, Cwmbach, described the injuries, and said that Williams' neck was broken and skull fractured. Either of those injuries was sufficient to cause his death. P.C. Rowlands gave further evi- dence, and the jury returned a verdict of "Death trom misadventure."

Davies, Cordelia Williams, Eleanor Davies, Beatrice Davies, and Mary Lewis, with bare feet and dressed in their night- gowns carrying candlesticks and dolls singing Gopd Night."

Death of Dr E. Prichard Evans,…
Death of Dr E. Prichard Evans, Mountain Ash. It is with great regret we announce the death of Dr. Edward Prichard Evans, J.P., which took place at hi& residence, Duffryn Ffrwd, Mountain Ash, at 11 o'clock on Wednesday morn- ing. The deceased gentleman had re- sided at Mountain Ash for 33 years. He was the son of the late Thomas Puchard Evans, and was born at Iroedyrhiw House, Ystrad Mynach, on January 29th, 1854. He was educated at Cowbridge Grammar School, Normal "M College, Swansea, and gained his first jfl practical experience at the famous Mid- W ulesex Hospital, London. His degrees- College, Swansea, and gained his first. College, Swansea, and gained his first jfl practical experience at the famous Mid- W ulesex Hospital, London. His degrees- were M.R.C.S. (England), L.R.C.P. (Edinboro'), and L.S.A. Surgeon. He was made J.P. for Glamorgan County in 1891, and held the position of Medical Officer of Health to the Mountain Ash District Council for manv vears. He was a partner of the late' Dr. E. W. S. Davies, succeeding that gentleman in his practice and also in the position of Medical Officer of Health. He was vurgeon to Messrs. Nixon's Mountain Ash Colliery workmen, and the G.W.R. Prov. Society, and was medical referee to several Insurance Companies. The genial doctor was greatly interested in sport, and was a capital shot. It will undoubtedly be a great surprise to many of the people of Mountain Ash to know that he was for some little time a Lieut. in the now defunct 2nd Glam. Rifle Volunteers. He was a member or the executive of the East GIam. Agricultural Society. The doctor had been confined to the house for about 9 months, and was medically attended by his partner. Dr. Arthur T. Jones. and Dr. Trevor Cory, Aberdare. There are five children surviving him: Mrs Ernest Thomas, Whitchurch, Cardiff; Lieut. T. Windsor Prichard Evans; Miss Kitty Evans, Mr. Austin Prichard Evans, Medical Student, Cardiff, and Mi. Lindsay Prichard Evans, Student ot Mining.

The boys then assisted with their Jolly Tars drill. They were dressed as Tars, and their drills and movements were admirably performed. The choir sang the Unison Song, "Going to Bed," with seven little girls groping over stage with candles. The next item, The Lifeboat Crew," wasjrery well sung and performed, by six boys and six girls. Sweet and Low" by the choir was much appreciated. The next item was The Fairies" song and dance by 16 girls. The dances were very daintily performed, and the voices were very fine. The Union Jack was the next item, which afforded a series of very strik- ing tableaux by the manipulation of the National flags. The various choruses were well sung, and appropriate actions performed by the 32 children who re- presented the four countries. The last tableau, when Miss Fanny Evans dressed as Britannia, wearing helmet and carrying sceptre, enwrapped in the Union Jack, received the homage of the 32 flag bearers, formed a striking pic- ture. The concert ended with the sing- ing of the National Anthem. The work of the children was very praiseworthy, and great credit is due to those re- sponsible for their training.
