This match was played at Briton Ferry on Saturday last., and resulted in an easy victory for Park Church by 136 runs. Park Church went in first and scored 172, of which the chief feature was the splendid batting of Richards and J. B. Jones, both of whom scored with freedom all round the wicket. Waverley made 36, E. Howells (21) making a very good stand. The low score of the Waverley Club was due to the exceptionally good bowling of J. W. Walker, who took seven wickets for ten runs, the; first four wickets' falling for one wide. Park Church oppose Hendy Seconds at Hendy on Saturday next, when a good game is looked forward to.

Ex-Foo+,.baller's Death. Ex-Footers Death. D ACCIDENT OR .MENINGITIS? It will be learned with regret in local foot- ball circles that Mr. Dan Long, a former Llan- elly forward, passed peacefully away on Saturday. Deceased, who was a true lover of sport, was a native of the town, and for many years worked in the electrical department of the Old Castle Works. A very sad accident befell the deceased about fifteen months ago. He fell from the roof of the works through the glass skylight, and sustained injuries to the spine, his life at the time being almost despaired of. He was for some time confined to the Hospital, and after his discharge he was not able to resume his employment. De- ceased was about thirty years of age. j I THE INQUEST. I AN ADJOURNMENT NECESSITATED. The Deputy Coroner (Mr W. W. Brodie) con- ducted an inquest on the body at Capel Als Schoolroom on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. White, Inspector of Factories, represented the Home Office; Mr. F. N. Powell represented the Old Castle Tinplate Company; and Mr J. Lewis Phillips appeared for the relatives of the deceased. Elizabeth Ann Long, 103 James Street, gave evidence of identification, and said the de- ceased was 29 years of age. on Friday last. Prior to receiving the accident on Nov. 18th, 190/, lv quitP. Rtrong and healthy, but since that date. lie. had otc-xv complaining of pain in his back and head, and some internal pain. Since the accident he had not been able to do any work whatsoever, and had been confined to his bed for four months. In reply to Mr. Powell, witness said there was no consumption in the family on either her father's or mothers side. By Mr. Phillips: Her brother was a foot- baller, and walked very erect, but since the accident he had to drag himself along. John Hughes, 87 Brynmor Road, said that about 8.30 on the date in question he saw the deceased, who was an electric light, attendant, standing against a ladder which was resting against one of the lighting poets. The ladder was about 22 feet in length, and the pole was higher. The deceased was standing nearly on top of the ladder, which was raised about 7 feet above the ground on a platform. Witness had arranged to meet him, in order to assist in repairing the wires, but when he was ap- proaching the foot of the ladder the deceased fell to the roof of the stores, a distance of about thirteen feet. The roof broke, and the deceased became fixed to it, and, with the assistance of several other men, witness re- moved him. He seemed to have severe in- juries, but was able to speak. The ladder was quite firm, because witness had used it before. He agreed that- it would have been safer had the deceased waited for him before commencing the work, because lie was going to assist lioiii by holding the ladder. Aaron Davies, 66 Brynnior Road, foreman fitter at the Old Castle Works, said the de- ceased was under his supervision. In his opinion the platform referred to by the last witness was quite fit for a ladder to rest upon. It was constructed to enable the deceased to stand upon it when pulling down the lamp. When it was necessary to make certain re- pairs there was a ladder at hand which would enable him to reach the top of the pole by resting it on the ground. He did not think it was quite safe for the deceased to do what ho did, because lie should have waited until someone arrived to hold the ladder for him, and not take the responsibility upon him- self. He examined the line after the break- age, and found it was a new one. He believed the deceased over-balanced himself. By the Inspector: The deceased would be able to get the) bottom, of the ladder out a distance of three feet six inches, which would have made the ladder nearly upright. This made him conclude that he had over-balanced himself. The, Coroner: That is an explanation. Dr. J. L. Davies said lie was called to the works shortly after the accident. The de- ceased was in a collapsed condition, but con- scious. He told witness that he was unable to move his lower limbs, and also complained of certain pains. On examination, witness found a large bruise over the lower part of the back. From his appearance he concluded that he had come into violent contact with some hard substance. The skin was not broken. There were slight bruises on the up- per part of the face, and a scratch at the back of the head. Deceased was removed to his home, a distance of about three-quarters of a mile, on a stretcher, and was placed on a stiff bed, where lie laid for three or four months. He partially recovered the use of the lower limbs about a fortnight after the accident. The power was never completely recovered, and all movements gave him pain. Eventually lie got sufficiently well to enable him to go out, but there remained a distinct deformity. At the side of thei injury over the loins his gait was perceptibly affected, and he moved alwmt in a stiff position, whereas formerly lie was very athletic. About twelve months' ago the deceased had an opportunity of going for a sea voyage of a month's duration, and shortly after his return he coughed very much, and witness thought he detected signs of lung mischief. This really never left him. Sud- denly, forme-en days prior to his death, he I developed signs of something wrong with his head. This proved to be meningitis, from which he died. The meningitis was of four- teen days' duration. He would not like to I say that the accident was the cause of death, but it accelerated it. It so reduced his sys- tem as to make it open to the ravages of disease. A postmortei%. examination was made on the body, and in the vertebral column lie found a decided deformity of the back bone, immediately under the region of the bruise. On opening the canal where the spinal cord was, the cord was found to be nearly normal, but its covering was slightly adherent to the anterior wall of the canal. The Ixme near this place was also roughened. There was some small tubercle also to be seen and a few fllakes of lympth in the same re- gion. The organs of the abdomen were prac- tically healthy. The lungs of the chest -were found to be extensively diseased, a large cavity being found in each lung. In his opin- ion the tubercle in the brain was the cause of death. Nothing was found in the brain that could be attributed, directly or indirect- ly, to the accident. The Coroner: If there had been anything attributable to the accident, would there have been indications of it?-I think so. The de- ceased made a statement to me at the house after the accident, if I aiu allowed to repeat it. The Coroner:■ Ye?s: please do so. Witness: He told me that he had over- balanced himself. By Mr. F. N. Powell: He attended the de- ceased up to the time of his death. His health was very good before the accident. | Would it be correct to say that. he died of general tuberculosis?—Xhe- direct cause of death was the advent of tubercular menin- gitis. Until the advent of meningitis lie was fairly well. You will not go so far as to say that fhe- accident caused his death 1-011 1 no. The lungs were extensively disø<lsed, ?-- Yes, It was practically virulent?—Very. By Mr. Lewis Phillips: This robust man's condition had been so reduced by the accident I that he would be more liable to contract the. disease?- Y ee. The injury was at the bottom of the spine? •—That is so. The Coroner: You say the deceased died of tuberculosis, which might have been accele- rated 011 account of his weakness due. to the accident/?—I mean he never recovered from the effects of the accident. The Foreman: And but for the accident he would not have contracted tuberculosis?—! could not go so far as to say that. lw Dr. E. Ward said he examined the deceased on October 28th, 1908, and March 27th, 1909. He was also present at the autopsy performed by Dr. J. L. Davies. From his examination he concluded that death was due to tubercu- losis of the brain, lungs, and the loins. He did not associate the accident with the cause .of death, but he could not say that the acci- dent did not accelerate the" cause of death, but it was probable that it was not so. He did- not believe the tuberculosis microbes were in existence before the accident; he was not certain. Dormant tuberculosis might have been present, and then aroused to acti- vity by the accident; but it was improbable. By the Coroner: Was there such a reduction of vitality caused by the injury, sufficient to t make the deceased normally liable to tuber- culosis ?—There is no doubt that the accident reduced his vitality and his power of resist- ance; but whether it would make him more liable to tuberculosis he could not say. The deceased, told him on March 27th that he had gained in weight. He believed he had tuber- culosis at the time. He attributed his sud- den death to the virulence of the disease and the weakness of his resistance. By Mr. Phillips: He regarded his examina- tion in March to be a thorough one. The two big holes in his lungs had developed in the I interval. He believed a man of robust health I to be liable to -consuiiipt.ion. Mr Phillips: This hitherto strong man could not resist the microbe, and he succumbed?— Yeg, and another man might die apart from such an accident. Dr. Davies, re-called, said the deceased was rendered more liable to succumb to tubercu- losis after the effects of the accident. From being a live athletic man the deceased' had been practically reduced to a cripple. By the Coroner: At what time do you think the actual tuberculosis set in?—In autumn last year. Had there been dormant tuberculosis before the accident or not?—That I could not say. The Coroner said the question raised was of considerable importance, which would neces- sitafcei the adjournment of the inquiry. The inquest was accordingly adjourned un- til Friday. Mr. Phillips pointed out that the doctors had no place to conduct a postmortem exami- nation on the body, and it was effected in the parlour of the house, when the relatives were walking back and fore. The Coroner said he had repeatedly com- plained of the- same thing. He believed a postmortem house was to be constructed. Mr. Phillips: I have had instructions to complain of the great annoyance and griev- ance it caused to the people.
