RHOS-ON-SEA. ST. TRILLO'S FAIR AND PATRONAL FETE.—Great interest is manifested in this fete, to be held next Wednesday and Thurs- day, on the grounds of the RJlOS Preparatory School, both on account of the numerous beautiful stalls, amd of the local and historical play, "Olwen of the Monks' Weir, to be performed on both days. Over 70 performers will take part in the play, which gives in dramatic form the history of the old Fishing Weir and Rhos Fynach monastery. The first act shows a party of monks returning from fishing in the Weir, carrying their nets and fish. In the midst of their merriment over the catch oomes the news of the Act of Sup- pression of the Monasteries (for the period of the play is the reign of Henry VIII.); the monks are afterwards gloomy and sad of countenance, and the act closes with their singing the prayer of St. TriÏllo. The second act depicts the festival of St. Trillo, and Olwen, the foundling of tho Weir, is the Queen of the Day. Songs and dances are introduced in this act, and the festivities of the Middle Ages are recalled. The third act reveals the story of Olwen, and her parentage becomes known; while the fourth act introduces the Minister of King Henry VIII. to carry out the King's Act concern- ing the monasteries. Much pleading on be- half of Rhos Fynach proves fruitless until Olwen asks. She is successful, the monastery is spared; amd the play closes with the Monks followed by the other players repassing to the church on the hill chanting. Pageant play will be worth seeing. The souvenir, com- piled by Rev. T. E. Timothy, may be had by application to Mrs Evans, Llandrillo-yn-Rhos Vicarage. It contains an illustrated archaeological history of the parish, and the two dramas, "Ednyfed Fychan," by Rev. E. James Evaais, aind "Olwen of the Monks' Weir," by Rev. T. E. Timothy." Price Is God, postage extra.

TRAGIC DEATH OF A BANK MANAGER. BODY MUTILATED* 1 Mr John Richard P-richard, J.P., manager of the Metropolitan Bank, Portmadoc, was killed on the Cambrian Railway, near Port- madoc Station, on Tuesday night. The body was terribly cut up. Mr Pnchard was one of the most popular men in Carnarvonshire, and ho('d important positions in the town, beiing treasurer of the local Council, Port- madoc Hor&e Show, and other institutions. For years ho was captain of the Portmadoc Volunteers. Mr Pilchard was a prominent Freemason, and hon. secretary of the Portmadoc Im- provement Association. The entertainments for charity, which he pro,moted in recent years, yierid-cd £ 2000 for charitable objects. About a year ago he and his friend Mr H. Harrison, Portmadoc, were cut off bv the tide in Portmadoc estuary. Mr Harrison was drowned, and Mr Prichard had a mar- vellous escape. THE INQUEST. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr O. Robyns Owen, coroner, heid an inquiry into the cause of death, at the ladies' waiting-room. Inspector Parry represented the Cambrian Rariway Company, Mr L. Jones the family of the deceased, and Mr Walter, inspector of the Metropolitan Bank, was also preeect. After the jury had viewed the remains, Mr David Williams, deceased's brother-ill- law, gavo evidence as to identification. In answer to Mr L. Jones, Mr Williams said that deceased was subject to fits. He was 46 years of age. Mr J. R. Jones, postman, stated that he saw the deceased, on the Portmadoc side of Wern woods, on the previous night. He was going in the direction of Portmadoc. He carried a stick. He said, "Good night" to witness, and appeared to be all right. It would be about half-a-mile from the Crossing where the accident happened, and where he met Mr Prichard. Onil'ym Hugfaes said that he was a. stoker an the engine oL-i Mondiay last. The train travelled at about 20 miles an hour. When drawing near the croetiiuig that led from Pemauieer road to Pen syflog, he saw a pereon stepping on to the beie. witnassi shousted on the driver to stop tlie train. He afterwards felt from the motion of the esig-me that it had gone over something. The engine was stopped within about 200 yards. Witnesss couki not say whether tlie person he saw waa a man or a woman. After stopping the emgune he aiughte-d to examine tibe engine and found mai-ks of blood and flesh. It was im- possible to stop in time too prevent the engine passing over tiho body. The train was gcin.g down 'ld, and therefore tlie engine made less noi.se- The tendter was in front of thø engine. Griffith Williams, the driver of the engine, stated! that he drove the engine on the aright in q. G. Hughes called his attention to a person om the railway, but witness saw no one tfheie. He felt the engine jerking- and stepped it ad soon as be could. The train did not cause much dlraught. He returned with the engine to the isoeiDe of the accident, the sta tion master and others acoompajiyimg him. They found the body on the track. They could not identify the re- mains as they were severely out up. Witness then left, but several porters stayed in charge the body. Mr Wm. Jones, staticamaster, <1et "that he wont on the engine to the scene -of the aeeidient after the same had been reported to him. He could not identify the body as it had been badly mutilated. He werrt for the police, leaving John Owen, and J. Bishop in charge of the body. He saw the first marks of the aocsdtent within three yards of the footpath that crossed the railway. The body was cut in two, one part being on one side of the rails and the other between them. The face was downwards- By a Juror: These was a path crossing the raiilway in the place, wkh a. stile on each side, provided by the railway company. The head part of the body was cu Penanijjer side of the railway. P.S. Jones said that, he was oalied to the loeaio of the accident by the station- marks on the body as stated by the station- master. He knew the path well. It led to Pensytlog. He esxamjtfuxt the spot and found marks (A the body, as stated by the station- master. He necog'nised1 the body as that of Mr Prichard. Pieces of his watch were found cm the grass. There were no marks on the higher sidle of the path. People coming along Pen- iunaer-road could take a short cut along the path to the Cambrian Station. It was the shortest cut poesiblla. The Coroner said that Mr Walter, an inspector of the bank, was present, and ready to state that deceased's aooounts were in perfect order. Mr Walter, on the Coroner asking, gave evi- dence to that effect. The Coroner That is very satisfactory. Peo- ple will say reasonable and very unreasonable things. Tne Coroner summed up briefly, and the Jury found that Mr Prichard was killed accidentally, no blame beirz attached to anyone. Mr John Lewis proposed a vote of condolence with the family of the decd, and said that no one at Portmadoc had done more for the benefit of the place than the deceased. Mr Lewie did not think Mr Prichard bad an enemy in the town. He helped everybody and everything. His death was a serious loss to the town. Mr J. Owain Hughes (the foreman of the Jury) attempted, to second the proposal, but broke down entirely. The Coroner joined in all that had been said, and added that men of Mr Prichard's stamp were not to be found daily. He was a man who did good apart from all sectarian or politioal consid- erations. He was good at heart. His kindly deeds to all classes of the community were in- numerable, and his death would be long felt iq" the plaoe. Though his death was a great Iocs to the community, it was a still greater one to Mr Prichard's family. The motion was passed. The Foreman was asked to convey the vote to t.he family.
