COLLIERS ANil HAULIERS. SWANSEA VALLEY SsSiNifiU i-ASEj tfUUED AT mUmMM. oeverai hours were taitea up in the hearing of summonses against Henry Daviea and Wm. THomas, (,O.ila"ÜJtr:" employed under the G waun-oae-gurwen Colliery Co. for breach of contract, the damages claimed being £10. Mr. ivenshole prosecuted, and Mr. Clark Williams ^.instructed by Mr. T. J. Randall) defenaed. Construction of Trams. Air. Kensoie explained that the (le- fenuants had signed a. contract To do the naulage fur a certain district in the Marciy pit. There were several hauliers engaged with them, but tno defendants were responsible. The trams used at the colliery were con- structed ui such a way that the wheels did not come in the centre. They were a little more on the cross bar side tnan on the other. They were thus more convenient for tipping, atd tuey were better for the gradient. The gradient was steep and a mile long, and when the trams were sent down the heavier side was in front so that tt would reach the working faces in that position. When the trams were sent down with timber the lighter side of the tram would be in front, and when the timber was discharged it was the duty of the hauliers to turn the trams round in readiness for the work- ing places. When the defendants went down on April 1st together with the other haullers there were about twelve trams at the double purling and they noticed that they were not ready for the work- ing laces. Th.y had not been turned round. The hauliers,.b.eld a meeting and decided not to work. The fireman reminded them of the contract, but they were going to see Mr. Hargreaves, the manager. The time required to turn the trams round was about five minutes. During, that shift that dis- trict; was rendered, idle, and the loss' neant £ 13 in standing charges. The Ilauliers never went to see Mr. Har- greaves, but came back to work in the morning. During the evidence the under manager stated the wages were paid out to Wm. Thomas and Co., who had signed the contract, and it was their duty to hand money over to the other hauliers. Defendants' Defence. Thomas and Davies, in their defence, stated that they had done their best to prevent bo stoppage. They kept on working until they were told by the fireman that it was useless tneir going on iurther. The other hauliers would not listen 10 them. The justices gave a verdict for the plaintiii lor the amount claimed and costs. Colliers' Contract. Fifty-four colliers engaged at the Ynisamman Colliery, liiy naiuman, were next summoned for alleged breach of contract, the amount claimed beina lis. i-d. each- Air. Morgan Davies prosecuted, and Mr. ClarK Williams (.instructed by Air. T. R. Randall) de- fended. Daniel T. Williams, manager of the colliery, said that on February 10th one of the colliers, named John Davies, had been filling in rubbish with coal. On the following day witness sent him home, and Davies asked if he was to work on the following day. Witness replied in the negative. On the follow- ing day Davies came to the colliery and went down to the workings. When witness was told that Davies had gone to work he sent to fetch him to the lamp station. Davies came, and wit- ness, after a conversation, pardoned him and sent him back to work. Just then the men on the east and west side of the colliery came out, and after a little meeting they all walked out and held a further meeting. The men asked witness if there would be any work on the following day, and he (witness) replied that they (the men) knew better than him. In fciswer to Mr. Clark Williams, witness said he knew of two instances where the men had been pardoned for filling dirty coal. The case of John Davies was not a slight one. There were 68 lbs. of stone in a tram of coal. Witness had warned Davies several times previously. Supply of Powder. for the deience, Mr. Williams saia that the company had not carried out their obligations under the new Mines Regulation Act in not providing pow- der for the men. The men had had to supply it on their own. After a long hearing, the magistrates found for plaintiffs in all cases with the exception of two defendants, who swore that they were not at the col- liery that day. The assessment of the damages was left in abeyance for a month.

Edwaxu Harris both repre- sented the employers. 1 nomas Maiaiews, 38, Coedsaeson- creciceiH, bketty, a loreman m the em- ploy 01 Aiessrs. Lloyd iiros., said He- ceased was auout 3* years of age. Witness produced a sketch pLan of the machinery and the site of the accident. He said tnat at 7.30 a.m. deceased was attending to the machinery. His I duties were to attend to the portable engine and the winding drum. he had been doing this same work for two years and two months. Witness did not actually see the accident, but was there a few minutes aiter. Witness was in 'his office when informed of the accslent. He went to the spot at once to find that deceased had been re- leased from the drum. Coroner: Can you suggest how he got caughtY W itness: I cannot imagine; I have thought or all sorts of things, but 1 cannot imagine how he got in. It is such a mysterious thing. In reply to Mr. Hilisditch, witness agreed that it was possible there had been over-lapping of the winding-rope. It was just possible it might have sagged, and deceased had gone there to guide it. That was the only thing to account for the accident. By Mr. Harris: The machinery was properly fenced. A Careful Man. I George Barnes 92, Fleet-street, a labourer, who had been working with deceased, said he did not see the acci- dent, as his back was turned towards deceased. He saw the train stop, and turning round s saw deceased caught in the drum. Witness at once stopped the engine. Deceased's body had acted as a break and stopped the drum. The rope was not coiled around deceased; it must have be&n his clothes that caught. Coroner; Can you suggest how he got there ? Witness: No; I have no idea. All the time I've been there, I've seen him hundreds of time, and 1 don't know how he got there. Deceased, said witness, was a very careful man. He had never seen him do anything that would be likely to have caused such an accident. The deceased was wedged between the drum and the fixture. By Mr. Lewis: Deceased's duty was to remain outside of the control levers. Had he done so, the accident could not have happened. Dr. Bell, Swansea Hospital, described the injuries. Inspector Hilisditch thought the ex- planation must be that deceased had tried to guide the rope. The Coroner said he did not know that anything could ba said to help the jury the whole thing was very mysterious: the Inspector's explanation was per- haps the right one. The jury returned a verdict of acci- dental death, and expressed the opinion that no one was to blame. Mr. Ed. Harris, on behalf of Messrs. Lloyd Bros., expressed sympathy with the relatives. They had examined the machinery, and could not understand how the accident had happened.

PRINCESS'S TROUSSEAU. I KttlY GiRLS ENCAGED IN MAKING THi VEIL. St. Petersburg, May 9.—It is under- stood that arrangements are now OOlll- plete for the Czar s visit to Berlin to attend the wedding of Princess Vic- toria, LOUISQ and Prince Ernest Augus- tus. The Czarina will not accompany his Majesty, and it is not expected that M. teazonoff, Minister for Foreign Affairs, will go.-lteuter. The Wedding Dress. I A correspondent or tne J^xpress states that the wedding gown is of line white satin, and the cut is simple, with high neck and long sleeves. The cost is estimated at L60. • The mobt elaborate part is the train, which is four yards long. It is hand made, of the finest lace, and hand em- broidered according to a special design by Fraulein von Wedel, one of the mo#t famous embroidery artists in Germany. A Beautiful Veil. I Special stress is laid on tne Driuai veil, which has been ordered at the Silesian Lace School. An antique lace bridal veil owned by the Empress fur- nished the idea for a pattern for the veil, which has been designed by Frau- lem Anna-Karl de Beaulieu, one of the bride's intimate friends. The veil is 6ft. 8ins. long and 5ft. wide. The pattern is made up of 200 sepa- rate drawings of the original design, which represents a fine filmy picture of blossoms and creepers. The centre of the design is especially beautiful, and will be universally admired. The veil will be the finest example of Silesian lace-making ever seen. Over 50 girls of the Silesian school have been working incessantly on the veil, and Fraulein de Beaulieu has been several times to Hirchberg to watch the progress of the work. The cost of the veil alone is estimated at R200. Apart from her wedding dress, the Princess has ordered twenty-five gowns and twelve tailor-made suits. The lin- gerie has been ordered in Berlin, but the order has been divided between twelve firms in order to give rise to no complaint.

As the result Or a raid upon her premises, Miss Selina Lebaieue, tobac- conist and newsagent, of High-road, Wood Green, was yesterday at Wood Green Police Court fined L30 and costs, or three months' imprisonment, for using her shop for betting purposes.

LATEST FROM NEWMARKET. I (From Our Resident Correspondent.} Newmarket, Saturday.—At Hurst Park, on Monday, PLASTICINE is good business for the Two Year Old Selling Plate. SANQUHAR may be hard pressed to give Depeehe thirteen pounds in the Whitsun- tide Plate, but he should win. At Wolverhampton SVETEC, on his Chester form, looks good for the Shirdley Gold Cup, and SIMILE, who is improving, is strongly fancied for the Bushbury Maiden Plate. HALIFAX is well for the Eston Maiden Plate, and PLAYMAN should win the Salt- burn ffhreo Year Old Handicap.

MINERS' MEETINGS. MANY DISPUTES REPORTED TO WESTERN ASSOCIATION. The Western Miners' Association met at the Cafe Monico, Swansea, on Sat- urday, Mr. Dd. Davies, Gorseinop, pre- siding. Also present were: Mr. Jno. Williams, M.P., Mr. W. E. Morgan (agent), Mr. D. J. Williams, and Mr. W. Jenkins, together with thirty-three delegates representing 11,000 men. A deputation attended from the Main (Bryncoch) Colliery with reference to a case of a man who had been suffering from a varicose vein, and. who, al- though certified by the doctor to be fit to re-start work, the management had refused to reinstate. On the suggestion of Mr. W. Jenkins, it was decided that the agent should confer with the manager, and unless the man is reinstated that permission be asked of the Central Committee to service notices. Mr. Jno. Williams, M.P., promised to meet the owners of the Morlais, Grovesend, and Brynlliw Collieries with reference to two outstanding disputes concerning the alteration of the pay to a weekly pay, and with regard to a dispute over house coal. Mr. W. E. Morgan "reported that there was a dispute at the Cefn Celii Colliery between Pontardawe and Neath over the price list, and the men had been locked out since April 28th.

It is a significant indication of the ,1n.1_u.+ vicvciupuicuu Jll luc vicHio uctncca txitJ United Kingdom and Australia that the largest vessel bililtduring the year 1912 at Belfast—which may be described as the nursery of large vessels-was the White Star Australian liner Ceramic, a fine triple-screw steamer of over 18,000 tons. The new ship, which leaves Liverpool on her maiden voyage to Australia via Capetown, on Thursday, July 24th, embodies the latest improvements in design and construction, both in naval architecture and marine engineering, being a triple screw steamer with the combined arrangement of reciprocating engines and low-pressure turbine; and it is confidently expected she will prove very popular with passengers, and that shippers will be anxious to t&ke advan- tage of the enormous facilities the i?7 possesses for the transport and rapidly handling of cargo. The new steamer is 675 feet long by 69 feet 2 inches beam, and will have a gross tonnage of over 18,000 tons. She has been built on the latest and most approved principle, with the double bottom extending right fore and aft. I

AT LAST. I CRICKET SEASON OPENED IN WEST WALES. NEATH V SWANSEA. Rain fell at Neath early this morn- ing, but it cleared off later though showers fell at intervals. The start of the match with Swansea was delayed in consequence until two o'clock. At that time the weather was not at all settled, heavy clouds looming over- head. There were three changes in the Swansea team, the substitutes con- sisting of W. Mitchell, Jackson and W. J. Bancroft, jun. The Neath team was a fairly representative One. Swansea opened the batting on a soft wicket with Bancroft (\V.J.) and E. A. Billings. The bowling was shared by Bestwick and Hacker. An interesting feature was "the in- clusion of W. Edwards in the Neath team as a wicket keeper. SWANSEA. Bancroft, b Bestwick 6 E. A. Billings, c H. Jones, b Hacker. 14 P. Morris, c H. Jones, b Bestwick 5 D. B. Williams, c J. W.

I The Llanelly v. Skewen cricket match, which was to have been played at Llan- elly to-day, has been abandoned owing to the rain. o SURREY v. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. More neavy rain during the nigiit upset the arrangement to commence the above match at eleven o'clock this morning, fol- lowing a delay of a couple of days, owing to deplorable weather. The sun shone brightly, however. from an early hour, and the Oval turf dried so rapidly that it be- came just fit enough for cricket by noon. The attendance at the start wae only moderate.. Northamptonshire won the toes and took first innings, S. G- Smith and East facing the bowling of W. C. Smith and Euehby.. The OOllooon cut through the soft wicket. East was bowled at 7, and then the visitors fared so badly that their fourth wicket fell for 10 runs. J. S. Denton then improved matters by hitting three 4'6 on the leg side. Thompson and Denton added 23 runs in twenty minutes, but after they were separated at 3J Smith end liuahby dmoinated the situation, and !Norxhampton- shire were all out in eighty-five minutes for 4J runs- Rushby took fi-.e wickets for 19, and Smith five for 23. Surrey went in after lunch, but, fared little better than their opponents, losing four wickets in half-an-hour for 52. Surrey took the lead in fifty minutes with four wickeus in hand, but subsequently they collapsed, and the innings closed for 58, or 15 runs ahead., NOBTHAMPTONSHI&E .—let Inn.

Excellent sides had been secured, ana a start was to have been made at noon to-day, but there were several hours' rain in the early morn- ing. following on the recent wet, and despite sunshine the ground made very alow re- oovery, with the result that the start had to be postponed until 11.30 on Monda.y.
