RHYMNEY HAULIER KILLED. AN UNEXPLAINED ACCIDENT. Mr. J. B. Walford, district coroner, held an Inquest at the police-station, Rhyjnney, on Friday afternoon, touching the death of Thomas Probert, 21, the son of Mr. Evah Probert, Mount Pleasant, who was killed at the McLaren Colliery, on the previous Tuesday.—Mr. J. vans, the resident manager, represented the Company, and Mr. L. Robinson, from the miners' bffice, and Mr. W. S. Davies, the agent, were also present. The first witness was the father, Mr. Lvan Probert, who said his son was in good health 'on the morning of the accident. He also had good eyesight and hearing. By Mr. Robinson He was a collier generally, but accustomed to I hauling. 11 David Lewis, a colliery haulier, said he waf) engaged at No. I MacLaren Colliery, where] deceased was working as a haulier. They were engaged together in the No. I deep west side. The deceased was killed at 3.55 p.m. Witness was bringing a journey out immediately behind deceased, each having a horse. They started out together. Probert was not on the gun. The deceased had gone on about 20 yards in the meantime, and witness was hiding his sprags for the next day. He heard something falling, and went on to within six yards of the horse and discovered some coal which had fallen from one of the trams. He called deceased by name three times, and receiving no answer, went forward past the one tram which was tipped up. Seeing no one he looked under the tram and there saw deceased with his head immediately Under the wheel of one of the trams, and his feet towards the horse. Probert was quite dead, and thereupon he rushed back for assis- tance. They had to tumble the tram over to recover the body. Witness looked around to Bee if there was any catch in the rails, but failed to see anything. The horse which he was driving was one of the quietest in the pit. There were no lights along that part of the Workings except the lamps they carried. He found deceased's lamp in his right hand. In the ordinary course deceased would be riding on the gun. Probert had been working in that district for a long time, and was a most careful rider and collier.—By Mr. Robinson: They used one sprag in each tram on coming down that deep. Four sprags in three trams would be too many owing to a swamp which existed at the bottom. They had not received instruc- tions not to ride on the gun in that part of the working. There was plenty of room on the side for the trams to pass. No coal was found under the trams, nor was there any indication that they had been off for any distance. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death," and the foreman said the case was doubly sad owing to the fact that the parents lost another son by a mining accident only eighteen months ago.—The jury expressed their deep sympathy with them in their affliction.

A MARTYR TO BILIOUSIJESS, It is with the greatest of pleasure," Writes Mrs. Durham, of 22, King Street, et, Broughton, "that I write to express my satisfaction for the benefit I have derived from taking Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. I was a martyr to Biliousness, accompanied by dizziness, when I was ad- vised to take Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. I found them a most excellent remedy for the complaint men- tipned, so I can confidently recommend them as a wonderful medicine, which 6hould be kept in every home." The first essential of good health is to keep the stomach in a sound condition. It is pot the quantity of food we eat, but what we digest and assimilate, that nourishes the body. When the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, and the food eaten is only im- perfectly digested, there is loss of nutrition, and the body loses strength as a natural consequence. Not only does the system suffer from lack of nourishment, but the derangement of the organs must cause further complications. Indigestion is a ,most prevalent cause of Constipation, which in its turn causes Biliousness and all its attendant evils. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause as no other remedy does. They aid the digestion and assimilation of food cleanse the stomach; purify the blood, and are a perfect remedy •for all complaints arising from Kidney and .Liver trouble, Indigestion, Constipation, and Female Ailments.

Rhymney and Pontiottyn, Doctors Fund. 1 The annual meeting of the contributors to tli,, Hhymney Doctors Fund was held at the Victoria Hall on Saturday evening. Mr. Geo. Jonas presided, and was supported by Messrs. Jarman, Evan Pugh, and others. The representatives of the different ward, gave reports of the meetings held in their re- spective districts, viz.: Mr. Campbell (Upper Ward), Mr. Probert Middle Ward), Mr. D. Roberts (Lower Ward), each of whom gave de- tails of the selection of representatives on the joint committee. The committee of the Middle Wa.rd asked for the acceptance of Mr. W. II. Lewis as a representative, but, in case of a refusal, recom- mended Mr. T. H. Lewis.—The Secretary ex- plained that this was done because the rules provided that the committee must be selected from employees of the Rhymriey Iron Co., of which Mr. W. H. Lewis had been an em- ployee, but had now ceased to be such.—The Chairman said that under those circumstances he could not put Mr. W. H. Lewis's name to the meeting. and Mr. T. H. Lewis was conse- quently elected. Mr. Petherick Hall, of Llechryd, drew atten- tion to an arrangement which had been made by which tha-t district was entitled to a repre- sentative in the Upper Ward, and desired that he should continue their representative, but, unfortunately, when the meeting was held in the Upper Ward, he was ill and unable to ad- vise the other contributors until the last mo- ment. Another meeting was hastily called, and a deputation sent down to the ward meet- ing, but they arrived when the ward meeting was over; and as there was no representative present from the upper district, the committee selected from the lower parts of the Upper Ward, with the result that there was no one from Llechryd. He had, therefore, been desir- ed to ask the general meeting to re-open the matter and admit a representative from that district. The Chairman, in submitting the question to the meeting, said that Llechryd and Newtown had been represented by Mr. William Edwards, and it was very unfortunate thahe was unable to attend on the night of the meeting.—Mr. P. Hall said that the sub- scribers did not wish to disturb any person who had been nominated for the ward.—On the motion of Mr. W. Cavender, seconded by Mr. T. Jarman, it was decided that tho Llechryd district should, under the circumstances, be allowed to nominate a member on this year's committee. The Secretary reported that the general com- mittee recommended that there should be a reduction in the number of members necessary for a quorum, which at present was fixed at nine. He said meetings had often to be aban- doned because that number was not present.— Mr. W. Williams said it was a very sorry posi- tion to be in, seeing that there were 21 mem- bers,, and he thought it pointed to a lack of interest. A remedy might be found if it were understood that absence from two meetings by any member would cause the selection of an. other in his place.—Mr. J W. Price said he was not in favour of the altering of any rule without a general meeting being called and notified of the purpose for which it was called. -it was decided to adhere to the existing rule.

BARGOED. MINISTER'S WILL.—The Rev. John Williams, of The Manse, Gilfach Fargoed, formerly min- ister of the City-road Presbyterian Church, Chester, who died on the 28th of March last, aged 67 years, left estate valued at J3495 16a. gross, and probate of his will has been granted to his son, Mr. Gurnall C. Williams, of 258, Dentons Green-lane, St. Helens, Lanes., bank clerk, and his widow, Mrs. Margaret Alice Wil- liams, oi The Manse, Gilfach-Fargoed, Glamor- gan. SUICIDE.-An enquiry was held by the Dis- trict Coroner (Mr. R. J. Rhys) at the Bargoed Police Station last Friday afternoon concern- ing the death of Fred Beese, a young collier of South-street, Bargoed, whose body was found on the previous Tuesday morning by some sinkers on their way to the Penallta Pit, with his. throat cut and a razor by the side of the body.—Alfred Flew, a fellow lodger, said that deceased had not been in good health for the past few weeks. Before he came to Bargoed he met with an accident at Six Bells.—Sarah Jane Daniel, at whose house deceased lodged, said that Beese had not complained of feeling depressed to her. He went out at 7.30 on Monday night, and she did not see him ajiive afterwards. — Sidney Ashton, Penpedaixheol, spoke of finding the body in the Gwerthonor field.-P.C. Holland -Aid he picked up a razor, which lay by the side of the deceased man.— Dr Reidy said deceased's throat was cut right across, and all the arteries and the windpipe were severed. The wound appeared to have been self-inflicted. Witness attended deceased when he was suffering from influenza, which often brought on depression. The Coroner read a letter from a club of which deceased had been a member, and from which lie had receiv- ed sick benefit pay, but which, for some reason, nacl been stopped. This probably had worried drc^asod. ■— The jury returned a verdict of < "Suicide whilst temporarily in,$ane. t, • "'f"é..

Bargoed Chamber of Trade. THE RAILWAY COMBINE. PUBLIC INTERESTS MUST BE SAFEGUARDED. The monthly meeting of the Bargoed Cham- ber of Trade was held at the Plasnewydd Hotel on Tuesday evening. Mr. D. M. Yowerth pre- sided. A letter was read from the Clerk to the Caer- philly Magistrates (Mr. R. Y. Evans) stating that he had written to Mr. Franklen, Clerk to the County Council, informing him that his magistrates would be willing to hold courts al- ternately at Hengoed and Bargoed, if a suit- able building were provided for that purpose at the latter place, and that, in the event of the Joint Committee deciding to erect a perman- ent court at Bargoed, the Magistrates would be prepared to sit there. This was considered very satisfactory, and. after some discussion, the Clerk (Mr. John Evans) was instructed to write to Mr. Franklen pointing out that until a per- manent buildin- for the purpose at Bargoed was erected temporary accommodation could be obtained either at the Salvation Army bar- c racks or in a Wesleyan Chapel. The secretary informed the Chamber that the ^nual meeting of the Federated Chambers would be held at Penarth on the 12th May, and that the Bargoed Chamber had been invit- ed to send two delegates. Mr. D. M. Yorwerth (the chairman) and Mr. John Evans (secretary) were selected. The various items on the agenda for the annual meeting of the Federated Cham- bers were then discussed, and tho delegates in- structed as to the action the Chamber desired them to take in regard to the principal items. Among these it was decided to support the pro- posal for the removal of Monmouthshire As- sizes and Quarter Sessions to Newport, and also the improved railway facilities required, viz., Merthyr to Swansea, Merthyr to Cardiff, and Merthyr to Abercynon. Some discussion took place in regard to the proposed fusion of the Taff Vale and Rhymney Railway Companies. Mr. Gus Jones said he understood that the Taff Vale Railway Com- pany did not hold themselves liable for damage done to goods carried over their lines. Another member pointed out that it depended upon whether the goods were sent at the owner's or the company's risk. As there was some doubt on the matter, the delegates were instructed to raise the question with a view to action being taken to secure all that necessary in this way for the trading community before the Bill for the fusion of the two companies is passed or supported bv the Federated Chambers. Another point, raised by Mr. W. B. Lloyd, was whether the amalgamation would affect adversely the n>en at present employed. He said he felt cer- tain it. would, despite all that Mr. Beasley had said, and he (Mr. Lloyd) would not be a party to anything which would injure any of the pre- sent employees, or be detrimental or cause in- convenience to the interests of the trading com- munity or the travelling public. These were the three things which, in his opinion, ought to be kept before them in their attitude to this Bill. So far, Mr. Beasley had promised every- body everything they had asked, but they had got nothing in black and white, and unless clauses were now introduced into the Bill pro- viding for these things, they would not be able to get them if the Bill were passed.—The Chair- man said that the Federated Chambers had promised not to oppose the Bill. The Secretary said he thought that they might be induced to qualify their support un- less those things were assured. Mr. Lloyd said that the agenda of the Federated Chami- her for the forthcoming meeting was utterly in- consistent. In regard to weekly pays at local collieries and shop assistants' legislation, they were fighting for the workers, and then. in this matter, they were fighting against them.—It was finally decided, on the motion of Mr. W. Ebsworth, seconded by Mr. Gus Jones, that the Secretary ascertain from Mr. Beasley whether the proposed Bill had clauses providing for the assurances given by him, and in the light of the reply given, the delegates to act according to their own judgment. In regard to the seventh item on the agenda of the Federated Chambers, proposing to assist the Nelson Chamber in their efforts to secure the construction of a new road between Nelon and Gellygaer, it was decided, on the motion of Mr. W Í3: Lloyd, D.C., seconded by Mr. D. S. Jones, D.C.. to oppose this, seeing that the greater 'portion of the expense would fall upon the ratepayers of Gellygaer. The standing orders having been suspended, the question of a summer outing of the Cham- ber was discussed.—Mr. W. B. Lloyd expressed himself in favour of having an outing, provided it was made a "Chamber" outing—a certain number undertaking to guarantee their fare; or their presence.—Mr. W. Ebsworth seconded, and the resolution was unanimously passed.—It was also decided to bring forward the consider- ation of place and date, and other details, at the next meeting.
