HIGHLAND PLACE. — The pastor of this church, the Rev. E. T. Evans, ex- changed pulpits with the Rev. George Neighbour, of the Brotherhood Church. Mountain Ash, last Sunday. Mr. Neigh- bour's discourse on Sunday morning was based on Psalm 95. 6 and Psalm 96. 9, "0 eome, let it, worship and how down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker"; "0 worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." In the course of his sermon Air. Neighbour remarked that we were passing through times which called for heroes; for the mani- festations of the inner reserves of the soul. Arnold Bennett had reminded us what a. tragedy it was that so much attention and enthusiasm was devoted to physical culture. No one desired more than he did that the race, should be healthy and vigorous, yet was it not a pity that the physical should be studied to the utter neglect of the mental and Uie understanding. Would that men and women could see the necessity of mental discipline and mental develop- ment. And if the mental was so iiii- porta ni, how much more should he our devotion to the moral and the spiritual side of our being.

Mr. Pritchard Morgan's Agent. Tragic Death of Mr. C. W. Hall. Air. George William Hall, Alount Morgan Royal Gold Mine, Gdnllwyd, Merionethshire, met his death under tragic circumstances on Monday night. v He visited Dolgelly Fair during the day, making numerous purchases. Re- turning therefrom after dusk, he chatted with friends in the village till eleven o'clock, when he cheerfully pro- ceeded towards his bungalow, adjacent. to the famous Pistyll Caen Waterfalls. In the darkness it is believed a boulder slid down upon him, hurling him 15 yards into the ravine he low. The body was discovered by a lady visitor at noon on Tuesday, and recovered by the police. The head had been shattered. The deceacsd gentleman, who was aged G5, was a great traveller, and amassed a great fortune in the Aus- tralian and Chinese goldfields. In 188G Mr Prichard Morgan became Parliamentary Candidate for Merthyr and Aberdare. The official candidate of the Liberals was Mr R. Foulkes Grif- fiths, but Mr Alorgan ran as an inde- pendent Gladstonian Liberal, and was returned by a majority of 2,H);. The election was memorable for excitement and hard fighting, and to the success of Air Morgan much was contributed by the assistance of Air. Hall, who was his agent. A close intimacy followed between the newly-elected member and his agent. Mr Hall became Nlj, Morgan's manager in London, and soon entered into a part- nership with him. Then Mr Hall went to Australia on a prospecting tour with two friends. After experiences in the wild country of Western Australia that would have daunted most men he "struck rich" and founded the Sons of GwaJia Gold Aline at Coolgardie. He became very wealthy in a few years, was made a magistrate, and gained a wide reputa- tion as a mining expert. In 1910 again, when Air Prichard Alorgan tried to regain his old seat, Air Hall acted as his agent. Air Hall was a Hirwain man.

Cwmdare Collier Killed. A RE AI ARK ABLE OCCURRENCE. On Friday morning last an inquest was held at the Colliers' Arms, Cwm- dare, before Air. R.. J. Rhys, coroner, touching the death of Robert John Drew, who met with an accident at Bwllfa No. 1 Colliery on Monday, the 11th inst. Henry Drew, brother, stated that de- ceased was 23 years of age, and resided at 26 King Street. He was a single man. After the accident he was conveyed to the Cottage Hospital where he died at 8.45 p.m. the same day. Edward Bateman, haulier, said that he was taking a journey of two empty trams towards the face when he met deceased, who was on his way from work, at the mouth of a rubbish hole, where lie had turned to allow witness to pass with his horse and ;trams. Wit- ness was right opposite the' rubbish hole when the accident occUired. About three tramfuls of debris fell, covering deceased. The trams did not leave the rails There was enough height for the horse. In his opinion the fall was not caused through the horse "roofing." There were no large stones in the fall. The accident, occurred about 2.30 p.m. There was no timber near the place. The top was smooth and no moisture. Ernest, Watkins, collier, stated that there was an unnatural slant where deceased met his death—what was termed "glassy." It was the seven feet seam, and in his opinion it was the slant that caused the fall. The slant could not be seen from the heading. It was a very strong top. II. AI. Inspector of Alines, Mr. AlcBride: How long did it take you to extricate deceased?—Witness: Three or four minutes. How long were you before you reached the surface?—About twenty minutes. Then there was no delay ?—No. John Jones, fireman, stated that the rubbish hole in question had Iteen closed for the conveyance of coal for about six weeks. He visited the place twice on Monday, the last time being between one and 1.30 p.m. He noticed nothing un- usual. He saw the place after the ac- cident on Tuesday morning. The ground was very hard. There was very little need of timber under that kind of top. The slant was the weakness in this pari of the ground. It, could not be seen without a minute search. W. H. Davies, manager, .submitted a plan of the workings, atul stated that double timber was not necessary for that kind of roof. The fall occurred owing to the slant, which could now be detected running along'. The Coroner, in summing up, stated that it was very strange that deceased should drop in just at the moment of the roof giving way, after it had re- mained np during the working of the stall for about eight months. The jury, the foreman of which was Air. W. Watkins, returned a verdict of "Accidental death." Councillors E. Stoneiake, minimum wage agent, and llltyd Hopkins. sub- miners' agent, watched the proceedings Oil behalf of the Federation.

Davies; backs, Walter Morgan /captain) and Tom Watkins; half- backs. J. Evans, Dan James, and Fred Morgan; forwards. Wilkins, O. Alahane, (1. Ifichards. and I). J. Richards. Rough play was indulged in by the visitors' goalie. Abernant took tho pIny to tlw other end, ami were- pen- alised for playing the Albions' goalie oil the ground. The latter was saving a low shot from an Abernant; forward. The Albions crossed over with no score. Half way through the second half the Albions drew first blood through Ired Alorgan, and play be- came more desperate, the homesters playing like trojans. There were a few stoppages, and the scenes on the field I were of a lively character, almost lead- ing to fisticuffs. However, the home- sters won, and the victory meant much to them.
