"/Kler 18 Albert Young; tor the three best button holes and three Death of the Rev. C. O. Odridge.- On J Thursday morning, Mr. R. Northey, re- ceived a telegram stating that the Rev. C. O. EJdridge, B.A., a former minister of the Wesley Church, Queen's-road had died that morning at Bexhill-on-Sea, whence he had gone to live after leaving Aberystwyth last conference change. Mr. Eldridjge's health had been indifferent for some time, caus- ing him to become a supernumary minister. He had been forty-six years in the ministry, and during all that time he threw his heart and soul into every service connected with the church. Never had a man ascended the pulpit, with such a conscientious regard for his high mission as the deceased minister, whose discourses were distinguished by a completeness such as stamped him as a man who, whatever duty he took up, he per- formed with paintaking labour.. A cul- tured man as he was, his sermons, which were permeated with deep spirituality, always contained food for reflection, and at the same time were a solace to the congre- gation. In the minds of the congregation at Queen's-road he is enshrined as a man who consecrated his life to the full in the service of his Master, and in their hearts there will bear fruit in good time that favourite and oft repeated saying of his Man's chief duty is to live to the glory of God." The deceased minister had been at Aberystwyth two years, and being out- side the pulpit, an energetic and practical worker, new life was infused into the several branches of the work o fthe Church. He had travelled in one of the leading cir- cuits of Methodism, and his services had been much in demand throughout the whole ministry. The well-being of the local preachers association, of which eirganisa- tion he was a member, he had always at heart, and a sermon of his appeared monthly in the magazine of that organisa- tion. He was also enthusiastic in his en- deavours to help foreign mission work, to- wards which he subscribed handsomely. The funeral of deceased took place on Tuesday at Eddlescombe Churchyard. At the evening service at the Wesley Church on Sunday last, references were made to him by the resident pastor. the Rev. A. H. Vine, while the Dead March" was played on the organ by Mr. Beynon, U.C.W. FOOTBALL. The draw for the semi-final round of the Welsh Amateur Cup has been made, and is as follows:- Aberystwyth v. Carnarvon, at Towyn. on March 27th. Rhos Rangers v. Oak Alyn Rovers, at Chester, on March 27th. PIER, PAVILION LICENSE. The Aberystwyth Licensing justices sat again on Saturday morning at the Town nail to consider the question of the re- newal of the license of tiie fier Pavilion bar. The justices present were the Mayor (Mr. J. T. Davies), Mr. Peter Jones, Mr. C. M. Williams, Mr. E. P. Wynne, Captain T. Doughton, Mr. Wm. Thomas, Mr. John Watkins, Captain David James, and Mr. Isaac Hopkins. Mr. W. P. Owen. who appeared for Sir Thomas Tacon and Mr. Jenkinson. produced a plan of the Pier Pavilion, on which was shown the portion of the premises licensed. The Chief Constable said they had always contended that the part now shown was the licensed premises. The Clerk: So there is no difference be- tween you ? Chief Constable: No. The Clerk: Do you suggest that the three internal doors be closed Y The Chief Constable: Yes, because if you leave one of the doors open it will constitute a breach of section 9 of the Act of 1872. It will also be open for anyone to summon the licensee for allowing such doors, and the magistrates can be compelled by mandamus to order them to be closed. The justices having considered the plan at some length, decided that all internal communications between the bar and the Pavilion be closed. The Chief Constable asked the Bench to stipuate a time by which the alterations should be carried out. Mr. John Evans, solicitor, appearing on behalf of the Free Church Council, sup- ported the application. The Bench decided that the alterations be carried out by April 7th. The renewal of the license was then grant- ed to Mr. R. E. H. Morgan, auctioneer. COLLEGE EISTEDDFOD. The thirteenth chair eisteddfod, under the auspices of the Celtic Society of the U.C.W., was held at the Examination Hall on Saturday evening last. The room was crowded with the students, there being a sprinkling of townspeople also present. Principal Roberts, M.A., was unable, as an- nounced, to take the chair.

An inquest touching the death of Margar- etta Jones, Brynhope, Cross Inn, Lianon died at the Aberystwyth Infirmary on Friday as the result of injuries received through burning, was conducted" by Mr. through burning, was conducted by Mr. John Evans. coroner, at the Infirmary, on Saturday afternoon. The following were sworn on the jury:—Messrs. J. Barclay Jenkins (foreman); John Roberts, Noddfa, Cambrian-street: David Davies, Vaenor- street; J. H. Rees, North-parade; W. H. Morgan Llanbadarn-road: Bei,iam' n Jones, Queen's-road; Wm. James, Trefechan; T. LI. Price, 10, Corporation-street; John Williams, 49, Cambrian-street; David Davies, Crefftwr-road; Richard Evans, Sea View-place; and David Jones Davies, Queen-street. David Beynon Jones. Cledan Mill, Llan- santffread, gave evidence of identification. Deceased was his niece, and she lived at Brynhope with her grandmother, Margaret Jones, by whom she had been brought up. She was an orphan. Deceased, was 18 years of age last birthday. He (witness) brought her to the Aberystwyth Infirmary on the previous Tuesday. He saw deceased in about half-an hour after she received the burns on Sunday evening. He went to fetch Dr. Lewis, Llanon, who came up im- mediately, and ordered her removal to Aberystwyth. The doctor told them to put plenty of linseed oil on her. They did not remove her at once to the Infirmary as she was too ill to be removed on Monday. On Tuesday she was much better, and they con- veyed her to Aberystwyth. Dr. Watkin house surgeon at the Infirm- ary, said the deceased was received into the institution on Tuesday afternoon. She was suffering from serious burns all over the body and arms. She died early on Friday morning from collapse, as a result of the burns. In reply to the foreman ,Dr. Watkins said the burns were very severe. He believed everything had been done that could have been done for her before her removal to Aberystwyth. Mr. Beynon Jones, recalled, said the doctor did not see the deceased after Sun- day night. He saw the doctor on Monday morning, and told him that he intended re- moving her to Aberystwyth on Tuesday morning. The doctor lived three miles away. The Coroner remarked that, of course, it would be more satisfactory if a doctor could see cases of this kind oftener rather than take the opinion of an unskilled person as to the state of the patient, but this could not, as a rule, be helped in country districts. Margaret Ann Vaughan, Adsolwen, said she knew the deceased, who lived with and tended her grandmother, who had been bed- ridden for some time. She was in Bryn- hope on Sunday afternoon, about 4 o'clock. It was when the people were coming from chapel the occurrence took place. Anne Jones, deceased's sister, and the grand- mother were the only other persons present. At first they were all sitting in the parlour. and deceased went into the kitaen. She saw her put a large quantity of turf, half- burnt gorse, and coal on the fire, which blazed up to a great height. She came back to the door of the parlour again, and spoke to them. She then went back to the fire, and the next thing they heard was the de- ceased screaming, and running out of the house with her clothes all ablaze. She (witness) ran after her, and caught her, and tried to put the burning clothing out by pressing them. Deceased cried Let mte loose, let me loose." She (witness) shouted to the sister to get a sack, but she could not find one. She then told the deceased to run to the river, which was close by. She did so, and lay down in the water on her side, and she (witness) threw water on the other side. She succeeded in saving her hair by doing this. Deceased then got up. and she assisted her back to the house. She was able to walk. Soon after she got her back to the house, some neighbours who had seen the occurrence came in. The jury returned a verdict of Acci- dental death." A JURYMAN'S DISAPPEARANCE. The first portion of the inquest was held at the Infirmary, and afterwards an ad- journment was made to the Police Station, to meet the convenience of witnesses from Cross Inn. When the jurors re-assembled at the Police Station, it was found that one —a young man-had not turned up. In- spector Phillips went in search of him and after considerable delay he was found on his way-so it was stated-to a football match. The Coroner sai,l he would have to deal with him when the inquest was over. He was not going to play fast and loose in that manner. Asked where he went to, the juryman could give no satisfactory explanation, but said he did not understand the Coroner to say that the inquest had been adjourned to the Infirmary. At the close of the inquest the Coroner had a private interview with the erring juryman.
