.^' THE ALBION COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
THE ALBION COLLIERY EXPLOSION. CHAIRMAN TO CALL A PUBLIC MEETING. The usual fortnightly meeting was held on Auay filing, at the Town-hall. There were ,4,,IY 111 3Sen—Messrs J. Tamblyn (chairman), Dr Davies, J. Williams, G. Ferrier, J. G. J. Barrow, Jenkin Jones, Henry Bowen, D. Davies, J. Evans, and T. King-Davies. THE CLERK. The Clerk (Mr R. Scale) was not present, Mr T. Morgan, who acted as his deputy, intimating that he had not yet returned from London. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor (Mr Humphrey), in his report, stated that the new drain in the Bridgend-road had been completed and worked satisfactorily. This now took the drainage of the houses in the Bridgend-road direct to the river and he recom- mended that notices be served on occupiers in the Bridgend-road to connect their privies and house drains to the new sewer. He had prepared plans, secsiony, estimates, and specifications for kerbing and channelling Pitt-street. A channel grating had been placed in Castle-street. He recom- mended that notices be served on the owners of the following houses to abate nuisances and carry out repairs :—8, 10, 12 and 19 Temple-street, 1: Cross-street, and 87, 88. and 90 Garth-road. Three samples of milk had been sent to the Medical Officer. MAIN" ROA DS. The Surveyor was directed to prepare plans and estimates of the improvements to the main roads so as to have claim to the County Council grant the matter to be considered at s special meeting. HYGIENE. Two lectures on Hygiene" were announced to be delivered at the Town-hall on July 9th and 11th, and the lecturer asked for reduced charges, as he said hygiene was a subject of first im- portance from a sanitary point of view. It was resolved that the ordinary charges be imposed. THE WATER SOIIEME. A letter was read from Mr Rees, the engineer in connection with the water scheme, stating that he would not attend the Board that evening. He would be from home the whole of next week on pressing business, but would try and arrange a day convenient to all parties. The Chairman said the object of Mr Rees was two-fold—the water question and also the drainage scheme. Mr Ferrier: We can't expect him till the middle of July. That means putting the plans off for another year and a half. Dr Davies complained of this dilatoriness and said the Board ought to let Mr Rees know that they could not put the thing off in this way. Mr Ferrier said if they were to have a summer similar to that of last year they would be in a queer predicament. INFECTIOUS HORPITAIJ. Mr Morgan, in reply to a member, said Mr Knox had made no appointment to meet a deputa- tion of the Board in respect to the infectious hospital. The Clerk was instructed to write pointing out the urgency of the case. ° THE CILFYNYDD DISASTER. Dr Davies suggested that the Board should pass a vote of condolence with the bereaved families and relatives of the miners killed at the Cilfynydd Colliery explosion. He thought this was a very proper step to take as the district over which the Board had jurisdiction was similarly situated. He Was quite sure that every member of the Board Would sympathise very deeply with it. Mr Ferrier, in seconding the resolution, said he hoped it would go farther than a mere expression Of sympathy, because he thought it was a duty incumbent upon the Christian churches, in a disaster of this sort, to The Chairman That's quite another thing, coming apart from the resolution. ° § jMr Ferrier: I should like to add that; sympathy is not much good. The Chairman I don't think we can include that in the resolution. Mr Ferrier We can't rule the churches, but I think we should take the matter into serious con- sideration. Dr Davies I am quite prepared to show my sympathy in a practical way. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr King-Davies then suggested the advisability of convening a public meeting, Mr Ferrier agreed that they should do some- thing in a practical way to assist the poor people who had lost their bread winners. They were very similarly situated atMaestegand they hoped the day was far distant when anything similar would occur. They could not control the churches but there ought to be a collection made in every place of worship. Mr King-Davies quite agreed with Mr Ferrier but thought the place as a whole should move and the Chairman call a public meeting. The Chairman said he was quite prepared to do that, and ultimately, after the matter had been further discussed, it was decided to hold a public meeting on Tuesday evening next. -u
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TYNEWYDD…
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TYNEWYDD COLLIERS. THE CASE DISMISSED. At the Bridgend police-court, on Saturday, Wm. John Davies, Prospect-place Daniel Davies, High-street John Rees Evans, Corbett-street; Benjamin Lewis, High-street; and Robert James, High-street, Tynewydd, all colliers, were brought up on remand charged with committing a rape on Martha Davies, maid servant, Penllwyngwent- farm.. MrT. J. Hughes appeared for the defendants. The Complainant's story was that on Thursday week she was returning from Aber-farm, where -she had been on a message for her mistress, with a young man named Gribble, and when crossing the mountain, the six defendants came on and -caught hold of her, knocked her down, dragged her some distance along the mountain, and com- mitted the offence alleged, Gribble in the mean- time having gone for the police. She was rendered unconscious for sometime, and a cap was placed on her mouth. j Dr Thomas proved having examined the com- plainant and stated, in reply to Mr Hughes, that he thought she had had had frequent immoral intercourse before. Complainant in cross-examination by Mr Hughes denied ever having had immoral intercourse before. She was quite certaiu of all the defen- dants. When Gribble went for the policeman she did not say "Never mind, let him go; I won't tell." She was not a consenting party. James Gribble, a mason, living near Blackmill, eaid after he had fetched Sergeant Roberts the complainant looked very ill and said the defen- -dants had nearly killed her. By the magistrates I was with the defendants about half-an-hour on the mountain they wouldn't let me go before. It was Evans who struck her in the face till she was rolling down the mountain, and George Smith put the cap on her mouth. Cross-examined by Mr Hughes I walked slowly when I went for the policeman. It was about half a mile, and it took me about half-an-hour. Police-sergeant Roberts said when he went with the last witness, he found the complainant near the Rhiwglyn School, surrounded by a lot of people, principally women. She was crying and appeared very frightened and exhausted. She said, They have nearly killed me. I am dying." They assisted her to the police-station, where Dr Thomas' assistant examined her. On the following day she pointed out William John Davies as one of the six men who had assaulted her. Witness asked Davies where he was on the previous night, and he said, I was out on the Rhiwglyn Moun- tain, but I did not touch the girl but I saw the chaps that did, they were my butties. They dragged her dONn the mountain, and threw her down." He named four of the young men. Daniel Davies then came in, and witness asked him if he was one; he replied, No, I was not there, but she says I was. I was up at Hill-street fetching my coat, and after that I was home all the evening." On the following morniug the other four defendants gave themselves ttp. Witness told them what they were charged with. Smith said, I think she has made a mistake." The same morning he brought them to Bridgend, and took the complainant and Gribble to see them. Cora- ls n.t said, Yes, they ave the six." case waa dismissed.

Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music warehousemen, have collected an imposing array of testimonials and Press opinions relating to l the quality of the musical instruments su]>pliedCby them, The firm is so well known in Cardiff, and, | Indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is hardly necessary here to dwell upon its influence and commanding position [ collection testimonials (serves, however," to do something more thaD certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Messrs Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense, how steady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increasingly numerous, even in the homes of the working classes, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums. The great majority of the letters in this list relate to pianos, and while many of them have reference to most costly instruments contain- ng all the latest improvements supplied to the well- to-do, the greater number relate to serviceable in- struments purchased for the homes of the wa^re-earn- ing portion of the community. This growing love for so retiuing an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though in the Principality music has for generations been the chief recreation of the people, it has for the most pare been choral music in connec- tion with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instrumental music is now, however, re- ceiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testi- monials have been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs Heath's business methods as well as of their instruments, R. J. HEATH & SONS INVITE INSPECTION.
