Penrhiwceiber Fatalities. An inquest was held at the Lee Hotel on Friday last before Mr R. J. Rhys, district coroner, touching the death of William John Thomas, aged 21 years, of 35 Park Street, who died from "ds.-The Grandfather, Mr John Thomas, 35 Park Street, stated that on February 15th he was lifting a kettle full of boiling water from the lire, when the "child hit his leg, resulting in the water falling over the child, who was scalded about the head, neck and body. On the following Monday week the child was removed to the hospital, where he died.—Di. J G. Hill, assistant to Dr. B. Phillips- Jones, gave evidence to the effect that the child was scalded as stated, and the cause of death was scalds.—The jury brought in a verdict of "Accidental Scalding." Another inquest took place the same day on the body of William Edward Hughes, aged 19, of Gladstone Villa, Woodfield Terrace, who was killed at the Cwm Cynon Colliery on Thursday last owing to a fall of coal.—Arthur Hughes (22), brother of the deceased, stated that his brother had worked underground since he was 13, and had worked with him (witness) for the last three years in a 6ft. seam. The acci- dent occurred about 10.30 a.m. Witness was at the time pulling coal with a mandrel, and his brother was on the opposite side 4bout 10 yards away. Witness found him on his back alive. No portion of the fall was upon him, but he had evidently been hit down by a huge piece of coal striking, him on the back of his head. The place seemed to him to be perfectly safe, with a fairly strong top. The deceased died before he was conveyed home.—Wil- liam Davies, a collier, stated that he worked near the deceased. He found him in his brother's arms bleeding badly from the mouth. He had worked for over six years with Arthur Hughes, and found him quite capable of having his own working-place.— David Rees Smith, fireman, stated that he had been on his second round about 45 minutes before the accident. The bro- thers were then out changing trams, the place being apparently safe. He again went there after the fall, and found the piece of top coal as previously de- scribed.—A plan of the workings was produced by John Owen Jones, man- ager. He also referred to Arthur Hughes as a young man who was a capable and reliable collier.—The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death.—Mr Davies, Inspector of Mines, was present.—On Monday last the mor- tal remains of William Hughes were interred at the Maesyrarian Cemetery. The mourners were: Mrs Hughes, mother; Llewelyn, Joseph, Arthur, Thomas, and Watkin Hughes, brothers; Margaret and Cissie Hughes, sisters; Mr and Mrs Edward Williams and Mr and Mrs William Mason, uncles and aunts; John Williams, cousin; Rev. J. Frimston, Trehafod, uncle; Mrs E. Williams, Mrs J. Morris, aunts; Mr and Mrs William Evans, Mr and Mrs J. A. Edwards, Miss Maggie Jones, Mrs M. Evans, and Mrs Rowlands, cousins; Mr Rees Thomas, Mrs M. Buffton, Mr Thomas Williams, Mr Gwilym Wil- liams, and Mr and Mrs Griffith Wil- liams, uncles and aunts. That the de- ceased was much respected in the neigh- bourhood was plainly shown by the large concourse. Wreaths were given by: Miss Taylor, Navigation Hotel, Mountain Ash; Mr and Mrs Thomas, Abercynon Road; and friends. The Rev. R. Gwmryn Jones officiated, assisted by the Rev. J. Frimston. The under- taker was Mr D. B. Edwards, Miskin. Much sympathy is felt for the family, as the father, Mr John Hughes, died only a few months ago.

—————— Arrested in America. Formerly Minister at Abercynon. Startling news of the arrest of the Rev. J. T. Llewelyn Williams, some time pastor of Bethania Welsh Congre- gational Church, Abercynon, has been received from Toronto, Canada. On Feb. 20th last the Canadian Officials were supplied with sufficient evidence by attaches of the United States De- partment of Immigration. The minis- ter, who had offended the immigration laws, was taken into custody at his luxuriously furnished apartments, where they also found a woman of the name of Mrs. Geo. Thomas. Accord- ing to agents of the building, the couple had been living there for a month. Williams had given his occupation as a broker. Further news from New- castle, Pennsylvania, where the arrest- ed man was pastor of the First Congre- gational Church, says that a month ago he resigned suddenly after some difficulty with the Church Board of Trustees, the nature of which was sedulously guarded. Later he went from Newcastle, leaving his wife and family behind. About the same time, a Mrs. Geo. Thomas left the city. The relatives of Mrs. Thomas deny that her absence has anything to do with the de- parturo of the Rev. Mr. Williams. The latter's wife is still in Newcastle, but refuses to discuss her husband's de- parture. It is alleged that when acting as a Congregational minister at Abercynon his conduct was such as to call for the reprimand of the trustees and deacons. At last they were compelled in the in- terest of the Church to ask hint to re- sign. He left the district for Ameri- ca, and later sent for his wife and child. That was about two years ago. From a private correspondent we under- stand that the minister, when chal- lenged by the Newcastle Church authorities, tendered his resignation. and the same was accepted without comment.

The diocesan inspector required the children to recite any Scriptural texts they remembered. One child broke the silence with And Judas Iscariot went and hanged himself." The inspector accepted this, and on appealing for others, was somewhat nonplussed with the second: "Go thou and do likewise."

TRECYN0N. NODDFA M.I.S. On Tuesday evening Mr Gwilym Morgan, Llewelyn Street, read an appreciative paper on "The religious history of Glamorgan." A debate also took place on Is living more expensive now than in the past?" The affirmative was taken by Mr Evan Evans, Gospel Hall Terrace, and the negative by Mr D. Watkins, Llwyd- coed. Miss M. Watkin, B.A., occupied the chair. Addresses were given by Messrs Ebenezer Richards, D. L. Thomas, J. R. Evans, G. and L., and Rev. D. Hopkin, B.A. (pastor). The affirmative won by eight votes.

CWMBACH. WEDDINGS. On Monday last the wedding of Mr Arthur Harris, son of Mr Thomas Harris, late manager of the Cwmbach Co-operative Stores, and Miss Charlotte Parker, 12 Pond Place, took place at the Merthyr Register Office.

From a corner, David Davies headed the ball against the cross-bar. The County continued to press till half-time, when the score stood at 0-0. In the second half the County forwards made some dangerous runs, and came very near scoring on several occasions. Eventu- ally Fred Sutherland shot a lovely goal, which gave the County boys the lead! The jCountv boys deserved their vic- tory; all of them played a good game. Lewis Davies played well for the Higher Grade, and stopped a few dangerous rushes.
