Crushed by Runaway Trams. Porth Riders' Tragic Fate. With sorrow and profound regret we record the death of Mr. Wm. Evans, Rhiwgarn, Trebanog, who died on Wed- nesday week as the result of injuries sustained by him at the Cymmer Col- liery on the Monday morning previous. The deceased was engaged at the above colliery in the capacity of rider. Whilst his journey was descending the six-foot drift, some runaway trams overtook the journey. Evans, hearing them coming, sprang into a manhole, but the collision was so great that the empties were hurled into the manhole with crushing force, inflicting very severe injuries to the unfortunate man. He was conveyed to the Porth Cottage Hospital, where he underwent an operation, which, unfortu- nately, did not prove successful. With every manifestation of sorrow the funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and a very large, number of relatives and friends assembled to pay their last token of respect. The interment took place at Llethrddu Cemetery, the Rev. J. T. Davies officiating at the house and grave- side. Several floral tributes adorned the coffin.

Court Leet at Tonypandy. Mr. Pascoe Jenkins on Coalfield Unrest. On Friday last, Lord Bute's Court Leet was held at the Pandy Hotel, Tony- pandy, when a large party of Cardiff and Rhondda friends sat down to a most ex- cellent old-fashion dinner which did Mr. and Mrs. Thomas (the host and hostess) the utmost credit. The delicacies pre. pared were of the best qualities obtain- able, and the serving was faultless. After the usual loyal toasts had been honoured, Mr. Wilson (Bute Estate Office, Cardiff) proposed the toast, The Marquis of Bute, the Lord of the Manor," describing the young lord as a kind, affable and generous landlord, and a con- siderate employer. > Mr. T. P. Jenkins, in proposing The Steward of the Manor," said Sir William Thomas Lewis was a man of exceptional ability—expert of experts in all commer- cial matters, and was unquestionably the greatest commercial authority that Wales had ever produced. His resources were marvellous, and blessed with abundance of the gift of common-sense. It was an irreparable loss to South Wales when he withdrew his guiding and mighty hand from the Employers' Association. During nearly the. whole period when Sir William and Mabon chiefly manipulated the Sliding Scale arrangement, South Wales, and particularly the two Rhonddas were the most prosperous parts of Great Britain, if not in the world. It was the unalterable conviction of a great number of substantial people caoable of judging and weighing matters, that the general unrest now existing throughout South Wales and Monmouthshire would con- tinue unabated until some new adjusting and regulating machinery, a contrivance more sensitive, or rather, a balancing power something similar in its to the once popular Sliding Scale agree- ment. Would that some kind magician would point with his magic wand the holy and blessed road to peace. Several other speeches and songs fol- lowed. Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" brought an exceedingly pleasant and interesting function to a close.
