" KILSBF" GONE.
KILSBF" GONE. One of the most noted of Welsh preachers, lecturers, and literary characters in the per- son of the Rev. J. R. Kilsby Jones, of Lian- wrtyd. died on Wednesday morning from inflammation of the lungs. Kilaby, who was in his 76th year,was well-known through- en; this district, as he was indeed all over the Principality, and his power in the pulpit and on the platform, religiously, socially, and politically, made him quite unique. The funeral takes place on Saturday afternoon, and will be private, It was only a month or two ago he visited Pontypridd, and ap- peared at the public meeting in support of the candidature of Mr Henry Hopkins, for a seat on the County Council.

Oliver's Great Annual Clearance Sale of Boots and Shoes will commence on Saturday, at 85, TAPF STREET, PONTYPRIDD. ASSESSMENT COMMIT rEE.-At a meeting of the Assessment Committpe of the Pontypridd Union hell on Wednesday, Rev.D. W. Williams, M.A., presiding, Mr Walter Bell appeared to appeal against the assessment of Nixon's Navigation gas works. It appeared that sinoe the Mountain Ash Local Board took to the public lighting of the district the company have not sold gas to outsiders, but the overseers co i- tinued the assessment at £256. Against this con- tinuation an appeal was now made.—Mr W. tPhillips, assistant overseer, contended that as factories, sheds, and agents' houses (which were lighted by this gas) were rated separately from the ton of coal," there ought to be, at any rate, some value placed on the gas works supplying them.- Ultimately, Mr Bell consented to the assessment of each property pro rata, taking £256 as the original assessment when the company also supplied the public. SUDDEN DSATH.-George Silter, a single man employed as under boots at the New Inn Hotel Pontypridd, was found by William Vines, the head boots, dead in a room downstairs at the hotel at six p.m. on Saturday. It seemed that the young man was engaged cleaning windows, and it is conjectured that he had a fit, a weakness from which he suffered periodically, and fell to the floor. There waa ft slight abrasion on the forehead. An inquest was held on the body on Monday, when a verdict of "Death from natural causes was retarned.

Anthony, and the surveyor (Mr J.

C. Spickett) said if they wished to carry on the present system. of apportioning the expenses to the various parishes they must apply to the County Corncil and show what difference there was in the soil or circumstances of the parishes.—The Chairman Well, I will give notice of motion to do so.

In the Course of their tiiur, they visited the principal towns in the United States, aad invariably met witb a good reception.

STEALING SHIRTS AT FERNDALE.
STEALING SHIRTS AT FERNDALE. SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE FLANNELS FOR THE BABY. At the Rhondda. Police Court, on Monday, Rachel Smith was charged with stealing seven flannel shirts, value 17s, the property of John Morgan. Prosecutor, a draper, said on Saturday night he lost seven or eight shirts from ootpide his shop. They were hanging in front of the shop window in two bundles. He missed them at 8 o'clock. They were safe half-an-hour before. In ^onseqaence of what a woman told him, he sent a boy out in search of de- fendant, but he failed to find her. P.C. Eiwards said on Saturday night he was in the railway booking office at Ferndale, and saw a woman come iuto the office, and take up a bundle that was on the window, and at the same time she said to the booking clerk "I am Mrs Smith" The clerk answered "All right." She returned in about five minutes with the bundle, and put it down in the same place where it was before, and again went out. His suspicions being aroused, he opened the bundle, and found it contained niue men's shirts. He then went ia search of defendant. Found her at the railway station some time later. She said she was going to Pontypridd. She owned the bundle. Told her she must come to the police station. She then denied the ownership. On being charged with the theft she said I bought them of a man for three shillings, I thought they were flannels for the baby." Fined 20s. A SECOND CHARGE.
