Fatality at Railway Station. Attempt to Board Moving Train. An awful accident, unhappily fatal, occurred on Rhyl railway station on Thursday last. One of our representatives, who happened to be on the platform at the time of the mishap, writes — As the 1.14 p.m. train going westward was leaving Rhyl station my attention was attracted by the piercing shrieks of several ladies and children on the platform, and the loud cries of several railway officials, who were calling to the engine driver and guard to pull up. Look- ing round, I saw that the train was just getting up a good pace, and at the rear of the train an unfortunate elderly gentleman, who evidently had been trying to board the train while in motion, was being twisted round and round, the lower part of his legs being wedged between the platform and the footboard. The spectacle was horrifying in the extreme, and the majority of the onlookers, who were powerless to render any aid to the poor fel- low, put their hands to their ears and turned away. Within a few seconds-it seemed an hour- the train was --ialed up, by which time he had fallen on to the metals. He was at once ten- derly lifted on to the platform, two ladies rais- ing his head and undoing his collar. One ot his boots had been wrenched off, while his left leg appeared to have been badly crushed, and his head had been severely injured. The rail- way officials did all that was possible for the unfortunate gentleman, but at a glance it could be seen that the accident had resulted fatally. Mr. Oakley, the stationmaster, who was on the other side of the station, on seeing what had happened, and before crossing ordered a doctor to be telephoned for and the ambulance to be sent over. KILLED ALMOST INSTANTLY. The poor fellow was then placed on the am- bulance stretcher and conveyed to a waiting- room, and the doors flung wide open to give as much air as possible, in the hope that some flicker of life was left, but the arrival of Dr. Goodwin in a minute or two confirmed the worst fears. In a moment he pronounced life extinct, and after being covered with a rug the remains were conveyed to a room on the town side of the station. Half a minute could not have elapsed before the deceased met with his death. The police were sent for, and Sergeant Dempsey was soon on the scene. It then trans- pired that the deceased gentleman was Mr. W. L Jones, Qj. 8, Bodfor-street, Rhyl, a well- known and esteemed resident in the town, be- ing engaged as traveller for a firm of Liverpool flour merchants. He was a faithful and active member of the Calvinistic Methodist body, and the utmost consternation was caused among his numerous friends when the sad news reached them. Mr. Jones leaves a widow, two sons, and three daughters, for whom the deepest sym- pathy is felt throughout the town, where all are so well known. One of the sons, Tudor, is engaged in business in Liverpool, while an- other, Bertie, who is a school teacher at Rhudd- lan, is a popular and skilful member of the Rhyl Town Football Club. A PATHETIC INCIDENT. A pathetic incident in connection with the fatality is that when the station officials rang to the telephone exchange, telling them to sum- mon Dr. Goodwin with all haste, it was Miss Jones, a daughter of the deceased, who called for Dr. Goodwin, little knowing that it was for her poor father that the doctor was required. Mr. Jones, at the time of the accident, was carrying a leather wallet, which no doubt handicapped him severely in his futile en- deavour to catch the train. He was noticed running across the bridge with a view of catch- ing the train. Another fatality might easily have happened. When the train pulled up and the cries were heard, several officials and others on the town side of the platform got down on the metals to cross over. Two of them only jusl noticed in time the Irish mail en route for London enter- ing the station at a speed of quite fifty miles an hour, thereby narrowly escaping an awful death. A SIMILAR ACCIDENT. A similar accident, which happily had no fatal termination, happened a fortnight pre- viously, when a Roman Catholic priest from Walsall attempted to board a train leaving the station. Luckily, Inspector Weeks saw the man miss the footboard, and with commendable promptitude i jumped into the guard's van and applied the automatic brake, bringing the train up instantly, and by his smart action no doubt saving the priest's life. The Inquest. Mr. Fred LI. Jones, the Flintshire Coroner, presided over the inquest, which was held on Saturday afternoon, at the Town Hall. The following served on the jury:—Messrs. Richard S. C. Sykes (foreman), A. W. Thomas, J. W. Hughes, F. P. Arthur, Walter Clark, G. \V. Gunner, Gilbert Rogers, W. H. Wilders, J. E. Davies, Victor Andre, Edward Angel, W. Hughes, John Smith, Thomas Hulley, Bertram Jones, and Edward Thomas. Mr. W. Iorwerth Rowland appeared on behalf of the family, and Mr. T. M. Dutton, of Ches- ter, watched the proceedings on behalf of the L. and N.-W. Railway Co. Robert Puleston Jones, son, identified the body, and said his father was 57 years of age. He last saw his father shortly after one o'clock when he left home to catch the 1.12 train for Abergele. At times his father suffered from giddiness, and had been medically treated by Dr. Hughes Jones. By Mr. Dutton: Deceased was a regular traveller on the line, but had no contract ticket. William Stubbs, postman, of Arran Villa, Kinmel-street, Rhyl, who gave his evidence with remarkable lucidity, deposed that he was on the platform when the 1.12 p.m. train left. He had just despatched his mails and wheeled his cart towards the bridge, where he stopped to see the train go out. He then saw deceased run downstairs on to the platform. The train had by that time got well in motion, both guards having got into the train. Deceased ap- peared to hesitate as to whether he should board the train or not. Some person in the train opened the door of a compartment, which appeared to make him decide to attempt to board the train. He did make the attempt, flinging his bag just into the compartment. He slipped, and his left foot got wedged between the platform and the footboard, while he stumbled on the platform. EYE WITNESS'S STORY. He was dragged along the platform for a yard or so, when he fell between the last and second coaches. He was then rolled along be- tween the last coach and the platform, finally dropping on the metals, the train pulling up just after he had fallen. Immediately after the guard's van had passed him witness jumped on to the metals and found him huddled up under- neath the platform. Witness assisted to get him up to the platform, when he was carried in- to the general waiting-room. Witness thought that the deceased, was dead when lifted on to the platform, the deceased only slightly moving once afterwards, which witness attributed to the relaxation of the muscles. There were sev- eral railway officials on the platform at the time, but they were leaving the train to attend to the Denbigh train, which was due to depart shortly afterwards. Witness shouted out to de- ceased when he saw that he was actually at- tempting to board the train, but deceased evi- dently did not hear him. The deceased acted very suddenly-in fact, the train had started while he was on the bridge. In reply to Mr. Rowland, witness said there was no chance of anyone doing anything to prevent deceased trying to board the train as the officials were moving away, and they did I not see him coming. There were several offi. cials on the platform, but no one near him. Witness was the only one who called out to de- ceased. By Mr. Dutton By the time the train had started the deceased was on the bridge. Both guards had got into the train, and the door of the guard's van was closed. The train was get- ting up a considerable speed, when deceased came on the platform. The Coroner elicited from the witness that the deceased had not run straight from the bridge across the platform for the train, but ran diagonally. The opening of the door by someone in the train appeared to cause the de. ceased to decide upon his action. It was ab. solutely impossible for anyone to help him. In reply to Mr. A. W. Thomas (a juror), wit- ness asserted that no one could have stopped the deceased from trying to board the train. His action occurred so very suddenly. Another juror, Mr. J. W. Hughes, considered that someone ought to have been near, but wit- ness pointed out that the train had well started and that both guards had got into the train. A FATAL INVITATION. By Mr. W. Gunner (another juror) Probably if the person had not opened the door deceased would not have attempted to board the train. John Gater, platform inspector, said that he gave the signal for the 1.12 train to start. After it had started—there being no passengers on the platform at the time-he entered the train in his book. He had just written 1.12 when several shouts caused him to look up. He then saw the deceased being dragged along the platform his leg being between the foot- board and the platform. Eventually he fell be- tween the last and second coaches. The trail- ing board caught him, and he was pinned be- tween the coach and the platform. Deceased was twisted round until he came to the end of the coach. Deceased fell between the two coaches on to the ballast. At the time witness was about two coach lengths away. The first he saw of the deceased was when he was clutch- ing a handle on the train. By the Coroner The platform was perfectly quiet, but of course there were other officials on the platform. Every door was closed, and no one near the train at the time it started, be- cause they were ",waiting time for the train to start, it being in three minutes before its time, and leaving punctually. He had just commenced to enter the train in his book when the accident happened. He knew deceased by sight. By Mr. Rowland: He started to run as soon as he saw what was happening, signalling with his hands for the train to stop. Someone applied the automatic break, and the train was pulled up within two coach lengths. A WELL-KNOWN BYE-LAW. Mr. Dutton here produced the bye-law which forbids persons attempting to board moving trains, and was about to question witness on it, when the Coroner remarked that it was very well known that passengers should not board trains while in motion. In reply to Mr. A. W. Thomas, witness could not say whether deceased had a ticket. By Mr. Dutton The train was going at a speed from four to five miles an hour, but he would not say that it would have been risky for him, as an experienced railway man, to have boarded the train. There was ample attendance on the train, there being, in addition to him- self, Platform Inspector Weeks and five or six porters. The train was in order for nearly two minutes before it left, and the officials were simply standing waiting time." When he first saw deceased he was in the act of falling. If anyone had managed to get hold of him he did not think that any good would have re- sulted. Perhaps they might have been dragged- in with him. He could not definitely state at what rate the train was going at. THE GUARD'S STORY. Thomas Kirby, 34, Walker-street, Hoole, the guard in charge of the train, asked to be al- lowed to give evidence, the Coroner at once ac- ceeding. He said that the train arrived at Rhyl two minutes ahead of time, arriving at 1.6. He received the signal to leave at I.r2, the correct time of departure. When he received the signal from Foreman Gater he at once started the train in the usual way, and then got into his van, closing xthe door. After he had got in he looked along the platform and saw all was clear. Afterwards he saw deceased attempting to join the last compartment of the second coach from the rear. He stumbledi and fell against the next coach. Witness immediately applied the vaccum brake, which pulled the train up, the deceased by then having fallen on to the ballast. He did not see deceased run across the platform to join the train. In fact all was clear when the train had started. By Mr. Dutton The train was travelling at a speed from four to five miles an hour at the time of the accident, and it would not be safe for any passenger to try to get into it. In reply to Mr. Bertram Jones, witness ex- plained that when he got into the train, it was going at two miles an hour, and he had time to close the door and look out before he saw the deceased. NO TIME TO BOOK. Sergeant Patrick Dempsey testified to being called to the railway station, where he found deceased lying on a stretcher in the parcels office. On searching him, he found a gold watch and other articles, but failed to find a ticket. There was a platform ticket, and ap- parently deceased did not book anywhere. The platform ticket-all of which bore private dis- tinctive marks-had been issued just before the train started. In reply to Mr. J. W. Hughes, witness could not say whether deceased had any difficulty in booking. Mr. Hughes: Sometimes you have to wait some time before being booked. Mr. Dutton said that the fact that the train was in order a minute or so before starting showed that there would be no difficulty in booking. RAILWAY OFFICIALS BLAMELESS. The Coroner, in summing up, said it was per- fectly clear how the deceased came by his death. He must have rushed into the station in too short a time to catch the train, even having no time to book. As all the passengers were on the 1.12 train before it started there could be no question of a large number of people waiting in the booking office-at least for that train. When he got to the other side, deceased attempted to rush before the train, and as suggested by the first witness seemed to I have hesitated as to whether he should try to join the train or not. Then the door of the compartment was opened, and that seemed to decide deceased to make the attempt. He slipped and was thrown down, being ultimately knocked down between the platform and the train. It was evidently a pure accident, and as far as the railway people were concerned there could be no possible suggestion of blame at- tached to them. An inspector was there and saw everything was clear. The guards were there, and they got the signal from the inspec- tor. They started, the guards getting into their vans, and the porters moved across to the Den- bigh train. There therefore could be no sug- gestion that any of the officials had failed in his duty. After all there was a bye-law which materially affected the present inquiry, and on infringing it a person ran the risk of losing his life. The suddenness of the deceased's action prevented the officials from stopping deceased, and nothing apparently could be done to save him. A GOOD BYE-LAW. He had seen persons exposing themselves to danger in this way being held back, and he thought that the railway companies were per- fectly justified in prosecuting people who tried to board moving trains. In fact, the bye-law was framed in the interest of the passengers themselves, and if rigidly enforced would tend to minimise accidents of that kind, but in the present case the railway officials had done all that was expected of them. As far as the jury's verdict was concerned, he would certainly ad- vise them to say that the deceased had been ac- cidentally killed. Death from misadventure was the jury's verdict, the foreman stating that the jury wish- ed to add a rider urging the Railway Company to have one official always on the platform, with a view to preventing boarding a train while in motion. The Coroner thought that there could be no suggestion that the railway officials had not done all they could, and the rider seemed to insinuate that. In reply to the Coroner, the foreman said that the rider had been unanimously agreed upon by the jury. He asked if they could re- tire. The Coroner replied that he had the jury's verdict, which was all he required. The rider did not really concern him. The jury expressed their deep sympathy with the widow and family. The late Mr. W. J. Jones was a cousin of the well-known drapers, Mr. W. S. Williams, of The Royal Warehouse, Llandudno, and Mr. Simon Williams, The Compton, Colwyn Bay, who so recently suffered a great and sudden bereavement by the death of their brother, Mr. John Williams, London House, Llanrwst. We extend to them and their families our sincerest sympathy. Before removing to Rhyl, Mr. Jones lived for some time at Llanrwst, where he was greatly respected. Our Llanrwst reporter writes — The news of the death of Mr. W. J. Jones, of Rhyl, caused profound regret to his many friends at Llanrwst. Mr. Jones was at one time in business as a grocer at Elwy House, Station- road, and afterwards was accountant at Lon- don House. t The Funeral. The funeral took place on Saturday after- noon, at Mold, the remain ,leaving by the 1.17 p.m. train. A large number of friends, includ- ing many members of the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, assembled at the railway station to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The family have been the recipients of numer- ous messages of sympathy.

A Dowlais correspondent writes to the Western Mail that he received a parcel of newspapers from Pennsylvania a few days ago addressed: Dowlais, Glam., North Wales It reached North Wales in Pennsylvania, and bears a post-mark North Wales, Pa., April 29, 8 a.m., 1910.—Missent.—Foreign." The Philadelphia Ledger for some years has paid great attention to the history of the early settlement of that great State by the Welsh folk who emigrated there. They did not forget the old country, but called the parts of the State in which they settle Gwynedd (North Wales), Meirion, Radnor, Haferfford, Brynmawr, &c., and that explains the postal mark above noted.

North Wales Temperance Federation. MANIFESTO BY 100 WELSH DOCTORS. EVIDENCES OF INCREASING SOBRIETY. THE SUMMER SCHOOL AT COLWYN BAY. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the North Wales Temperance Federation was held on Thursday at the Carmel Schoolroom, Conway. TRIBUTE TO THE LATE KING. Sir Herbert Roberts, M.P., the President of the Federation, presided at the meeting. He said that, though they were met for business only, they could not begin even that without referring to the great national loss which had befallen the country in the death of King Edward. They were met as citizens of a great country specially interested in the temperance cause, and he believed that the influence of the late King was entirely on the side of the movement which they were endeavouring to promote. His Majesty showed his practical sympathy with temperance reform in every grade of life, and so far as his great and bene- ficent influence went, it was' directed in the interests of the sobriety of the people over whom he was called to rule. Sir Herbert did not submit a formal resolution, but asked the members of the Committee to rise for a mo- ment as an indication of their profound regret at the death of the King. A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. This request having been complied with, the President went on to say that although in re- spect of many things in the situation of to-day which were not satisfactory, on the whole he took a hopeful view of the progress of the cause. The main work for temperance within the next ten to twenty years would be done in the midst of the people rather than in Parlia- ment. However necessary it might be reso- lutely to press forward legislative projects which they believed to be important for the success of their cause, the main work before them lay in the homes of the people. As to the work of the Federation in the past twelve months, its main achievement had been the founding of the summer school of temper- ance and hygiene, and the school for the pre- sent year to be held at Colwyn Bay was likely to be even more successful than the last. A MEDICAL MANIFESTO. Another achievement had been the obtaining of 100 signatures of doctors practising in North Wales to the Federation's temperance manifesto, The fact that 100 medical men in North Wales had signed the manifesto was an indication of the great advance of public opinion on the question, and it was bound to make a deep im- pression upon the sentiment of the country in the near future. (Applause.) The evidence which they now had as temperance reformers of the direct relation between the cost of spirits and the amount consumed, and the effect of the financial provisions of the Budget upon the consumption of spirits in the country was very important, as was the proof of the relation be- tween the consumption of liquor and the moral conduct of the people and public order. He hoped the Federation would in the near future be able to do a great deal more for the uplift- ing of the people in North Wales through the means of temperance in the best and widest sense of that word, not merelv confining them- selves to total abstinence, but taking advantage of every influence which made for the sobriety of the nation. (Applause.) THE SECRETARY'S REPORT. The Rev. J. Glyn Davies, the Secretary of the Federation, read a report dealing with the busi- ness of the Federation. He stated that the financial statement issued by the Holyhead branch showed that, instead of involving the branch in financial responsibility, the visit of the Federation to that town for the annual meetings last autumn resulted in a surplus, out of which a subscription to the funds of the Federation had been made. With regard to the summer school of tem- perance and hygiene last year, the Board of Education were pleased with the work done, and the students, many of them teachers, had re-delivered lectures in the course of the winter in their schools, at Bands of Hope, and on other occasions, so that the splendid educational value of the work done at the school had been proved in every way. The summer school for the present year would commence on July 25th, and would be held at the Colwyn Bay Higher Grade School, the whole of the rooms at which had been placed at the disposal of the Federation. Professor Sims Woodhead, the eminent scientist and ardent temperance reformer of Cambridge, had pro- mised to deliver the opening lecture on the even- ing of July 25th, and the lecturers during the fortnight would be Mr. Walter N. Edwards, of London Dr. Lloyd Williams, of the Universitv College, Bangor Dr. Llewelyn Wrilliams, Medical Officer of Health of Wrexham Mr. S. Glynne Jones, of Colwyn Bay. and Mr. A. F. Maude, the physical instructor at the Bangor University College. All the Education authorities in North Wrales, except Flintshire, had promised to help the movement by assisting teachers to attend. Flintshire had declined. The Committee had arranged to employ a lecturer on temperance and allied subjects to visit the elementary schools in Carnarvon, Anglesey, and Merionethshire, and Carnarvon- shire had agreed to contribute /75 towards the

Abergele Sparks. Poor Czar of Russia! The only European monarch who absolutely afraid to attend King Edward's funeral. And yet he rules over the most peace-loving and innocent race of people on earth. What a paradox. Tyranny always finds its level. I'd rather be a piano tuner than a Czar of Russia any day—always provided that I coudn't beat Nicholas as a ruler of men. What the poor fellow ought to do is to shoot the whole bri- gade of Grand Dukes and other blood-suckers who surround his blood-stained Throne. At the time of writing I feel a bit nervous. It's more than a joke having to make a hop, skip and a jump through that long tail of Halley's Comet. Perhaps before these lines are in print every reader of the Weekly News and the Christian Herald will find himself or herself in a strange country. You never know your luck-especially with long-tailed comets. Comets are like mothers-in-law—you never know when to except them to pay you a visit and make things warm. I am not so much afraid of a comet as a moving body as I am of its tricky tail. It's the tail that tells in the long run." According to astronomers (and my friend P.C. Rowlands, of Llanddulas, is one of 'em), Halley's Comet swaggers through the illimitable space with a tail measuring 15,000,000 miles. That beats my cat's terminal appendage by 14 inches. And now for a conundrum:—If Halley's Comet's tail grows whiskers (as every other respectable tail does), how long would it take the three Abergele barbers to give that tail a clean shave —with ten million lather boys to do the rubbing part of the business for them? It sounds easy for a man with a knife and carving-fork. But that's the end of the tale and the tail—excepting that the Welsh for tail is cynffon." I know some of them, too. Poor Cybi has been beaten in the Ship Cafe challenge cup handicap. He reached the semi- final after a desperate struggle. But he was squelched by Mr. Percy Chambers. Fancy be- ing beaten by a preacher! But Cybi is on very good terms" with broad-minded sky pilots. Nothing of the Torchlight about Chambers.

Ancient Monuments in North Wales. The following members of the Royal Com- mission appointed to inspect and report upon ancient Welsh monuments are at present en- gaged in inspecting the ancient monuments and regains in Flintshire and Denbighshire:—Sir John Rhvs, Sir Vincent Evans, Alderman Robert Hughes, and Mr. Edward Owen (secre- tary). Some discoveries of ancient pottery, &c., were made during the past week in the neigh- bourhood of Ffrith, Flintshire. One of the places to be visited this week is Holt, where Mr T. Arthur Acton, and Mr A. N. Palmer (assist- ant secretary to the Commission) have discover- ed many Roman buildings and samples of pot- tery, as a result of the excavations which Mr. Acton has been making there during the last few years.

cost, on the understanding that proportional contributions would be made by the authorities of Anglesey and Merionethshire. The Anglesey authority, however, wrote that the teaching of temperance was generally done already in the I county, and the authority was preparing a fur- ther scheme for Anglesey alone. Merioneth- shire wrote that they did not consider the scheme practicable. Mr. Glyn Davies submitted to the meeting a proof of the manifesto signed by the 100 medical practitioners in North Wales, and said that while he had been disappointed by some re- fusals, he was greatly encouraged by the fact that there were proved to be 100 North Wales doctors who realised the peril of alcoholic drinks, and who regarded them as powerful and dangerous drugs. LIQUOR IN HOSPITALS. He had been collecting statistics as to the decline in the expenditure on liquor, and the increase in the expenditure on milk in the hos- pitals and public institutions in North Wales. While the figures were not complete, they showed a remarkable change of opinion on the part of the medical men and the administrations of these institutions. Lady Roberts would give a gold medal to the top candidate in the adult section of the temperance examination this year, and the Mayor of Wrexham would give a silver medal to the top candidate in the juvenile section. At the last licensing sessions in North Wales, the statistics of drunkenness were much better than in the previous year, but while the crusade against the public-houses was proving so successful, he feared that home drinking tended to increase, and that public opinion ought to be aroused on the subject of the issue of grocers' licences. A MEDICAL VIEW. Dr. Griffith Evans, Bangor, congratulated the Secretary upon obtaining the signatures of 100 medical men. He was sorry he could not help more than he did, but he submitted the resolu- tion to his friends who agreed in principle with it, but did not see their way to sign for the reason that they did not care to bind themselves not to take a glass of wine on public occasions. If the resolution had been framed a little differ- ently they would have signed it. Mr. William George said he would not like the idea of a lecturer being appointed to visit the elementary schools in the three northern counties to be dropped entirely, and he moved that the Anglesey authority be asked to send particulars of their own scheme. Mr. Matthews, of Amlwch, as a representative from the county, seconded the motion, which was carried. The arrangements for the summer school were completed, and the President said he hoped that the number of students this year would be doubled. He reminded the meeting that the classes were not for teachers only, but for any ladies or gentlemen who cared to join them, and they would be held in one of the pleasantest towns in North Wales at a pleasant time of the year. It was decided to send a copy of the medical manifesto simultaneously to every English or Welsh newspaper in North Wales, and to defer the consideration of the further use to be made of it. The next annual conference will be held at Wrexham on October 11th and 12th, and the Rev. Mr. Thomas, Gwersyllt, and Mr. Lloyd, of Wrexham, gave a report as to the work of the local committee who are preparing for it. SOBRIETY INCREASING. The following resolution was passed, on the motion of Mr. William George :— That this meeting, representative of the temperance organisations of North Wrales, re- joices at the evidence which is accumulating around us that the nation is becoming more and more confirmed in habits of sobriety and thrift, and regards the present state of things as the natural and very encouraging result of persistent methods of intellectual enlighten- ment, moral suasion, and legislative action." A clause was added, drafted by the Secretary, acknowledging the benefit which the increase in the tax upon spirits has had in reducing the consumption of alcohol in that form. The members of the Executive Committee were entertained by Dr. W. Carter, Deganwy, to an excellent luncheon at the Grosvenor Restaurant, the catering of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jones being very highly appreciated.
