I Soldiers in Readiness, 3PECIAL TRAIN WAITING. Every preparation was made iu Cardiff this morning to deal with any breach of the peace arising out of the strike, and a special train was kept in readiness on the Taff Vale Railway to convey police and military to any part of the line near which their services might be required.

VIOLENT SCENES AT EBBW VALE. The decision of the Ebbw Vale colliers to con- tinue work has had the effect of arousing their fellow-workmen now upon strike. The inhabi- tants of the town on Saturday morning were startled to find a huge procession marching along the main thoroughfare, and at so early an hour in the morning as 5.30. During the previous night the strikers had been congregating in the neighbouring districts-Aberearile, Abertillery, Aberbeeg, Blaina, Bryntnawr, Cwm, Tredogar, &c.—and, headed by a brass band, wended their way to Ebbw Vale. The lower pits in the district were visited, and several men pro- ceeding to work were induced to return. A force of police, under Superintendent Showers, was in attendance to prevent any serious disturb- ance. After thus showing their protest against the action of the Ebbw Vale men, the procession in a fairly orderly manner proceeded through the principle streets of Ebbw Vale. It was a sight never to be forgotten, fully 12,000 men taking part. They subsequently turned into a mass meeting on Waun-v-Pound Mountain. This was about seven o'clock in the morning. A downpour of ram in no way damped the ardour or determingltion of the strikers. A chairman was quickly appointed, who, in his opening remarks, stated that he was pleased to find so many Ebbw Valians present. Some people thought they had come to use violence, but they had no intention to harm anyone. The object of the visit was to try and induce the Ebbw Valian to assist them in this great fight. The following resolution was pro- posed That we, the workmen of the various collieries of Monmouthshire here assembled in mass meeting, denounces the demoralising effect upon us as a body of the sliding-scale, and that we feel justified in demand- ing an advance of 20 per cent, in wages forthwith, outside its scope, and that, we uphold the hanliers of Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire, come what may. And further, we call upon the few men now at work to join in the common cause of straggling for freedom. This proposition was seconded by an Ebbw Vale haulier amid ringing cheers. On being put to the meeting it was carried without a dissenting voice. Another resolution was proposed to the effect that no collier should make any agreement with the employers, or accept any advance of any kind until the same be submitted to a mass meeting ol the whole of the men on strike. On the resolution being put to the meeting it was etrr, ed nnamiiioiHy. T l?-, tl?ir(i ?;a, The third resolution was, "That we, with idea- sure and determination, accept the invitation of the Glamorganshire colliers to attend a meeting, lo be held at Pontypridd on Monday, and pledge ourselves to be present." This was also, seconded, anu carried with ac,tlnati0Jl. Auother lÐ'Oo1ution wa proposed and seconded, "TLa in the event of any of the woiku.en I1UW on str.lce being victimised, the whole of the men would refuse to resume work until he had been reinstated. This resolution, like the others, met with the entire approval of those assembled.—A resolution in favour of the nationalisation of mining royalties and eight hours from bank to bank was :tbn passed.—The meeting then dispersec. The baud again led the way, and the men left for their respective homes.

MEETING AT EBBW VALE TO-DAY. Work to bs Resumed To-Morrow. fSPECrAr. TEfiEGKAJt TO THE "ECHO.] A laass meeting of collier.: was oil Wann- ypound Mountain, Ebbw Vale, to-day, about 4,000 men being piesenf. Mr W. Vyce presided. The deputation appointed lo wait upon Mr Tall is reported U»;*t the management would provide an pie PëU[ctlon for the men who were going to woi k. rl he meeting decided to accept the assurance, and work will be resumed on Tuesday morning. A larg force of police are now loeated in the .owii, and military aid is held in readiness should the necessity for their services ai ise.

ALLEGED INTIMIDATION AT I WAUNLLWYD PIT. Vioicni Scenes by Strikers. I Writing yesterday, our Ebbw Vale reporter says :-Tbe coal crisis, as far as Ebbw Vale is con corned, lu-„s now assumed a very serious aspect, so serious, indeed, that the managers of that large and important works, together with the men, deem it ad visable to seek further police, and, we are sorry to say, military protection. Subse quently to the Ulass meeting of strikers held in the morning, a large number of men paid a sur- prise vi.it to YVaunllwyd Pit, which was at the moment employing upwards of 800 men and boys. The persons in charire of the pit perceived the unmistakable signs of dete; nnnation stamped in the features of the strikers, and, indeed, the foremost intimated their intention of seeing the men, either by fair or foul means. The manager at once, considering the overwhelming number of the crowd, gave orders to stop the pit from wind- ing. This was, however: not sufficient to satisfy the mob, who lok-,(Ily demanded to s e the men. After some delay the men were brought to the surface, and as each band appeared it was greeted with loud howls. The men being all brought out, a meeting was held. The proceedings were of a most disorderly nature. The men on strike threatened that, in the event of the Ebbw Valians continuing to work, the next visit of the mob would be accompanied with violence. The Ebbw Vale men are, however, determined to go to work, providing proper protection is guaranteed. On Saturday evening a mass meeting of th* Ebbw Vale workmen was held on Wauii-y-I'"uiid mountain, and was attended by about 4.000 persons. Mr W. Vyce occupied the chair, and was supported by Mr Thomas Richards, miners' agent Mr Henry Cool, Mr John Morgan, secretary, and the members of the working committee. A resolution was moved to adhere to the resolution passed at the Mnrket Halt on Thursday evening—to continue work providing sufHcent protection was guaran- teed. This was seconded and carried a! most I1l1animouslv. ahoul; 50 voting to the contrary. Mr Thomas Richards, miners'agent, addressed the meeting and met with a splendid reception. A motion was moved That that meeting place every confidence in their agent, Mr Thomas Richards, in the valuable serv Ices lie had rendered." This was seconded and carried unanimously. Three cheers were then called for and given most heartily. 1 A deputation was then formed to wait upon i%lr.T.illis, colliery manager, to see what protec- tion they were prepared to give the men. On the return of the deputation, Mr Henry Cool slated that they had recei ved an assurance from the manager that he would not allow Itis men to work unless provided with ample protection. He was not prepared to assure them what protection he could offer just then, but would inform the deputation on the following afternoon. He was afraid that he could not get it for Monday, but it would be certain on Tuesday. Tliut wouid be a body of foot soldiers and a strong force of mounted police. After some further discussion it was decided to hold a meeting this morning at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of hearing the further report of the deputation, and work will be resumed to-morrow morning providing the neces- sary protection is forthcoming.

Strong Approval of the Sliding-scafe. I A numerously attended meeting of colliery workmen in the Bircbgrovedistrictwasheld at the board schools, Birchgrove, on Saturday evening. Mr Thomas Davies presided over a good attend- ance. The CHAIRMAN said, after 40 years' experience of work he could declare, without any hesitation, that the sliding-scale method of regulating wages was the best he had ever heard of. Mr Samuel Griffiths, ex-president of the Neath, Llunelly, and Swansea Miners' Association, and Mr James Clement, vice-president, having spoken in emphatic approval of the slidiug-scale principle, and others having addressed the meeting, Mr David Thomas moved 'fb:.t this meeting determines to adhere to the principle of the sliding-scale in the ftiturels in the past, believing that it has been of great benefit. to the collieis and to the coal trade in South Wales and Monraoutlishire during the last 15 years 1mviug been the means of preventing destructive strikes, and giving sthilily to the coal trade. And we, as colliers, resolve to form lodges for the purpose of joining the new Union for South Wales and Monmouthshire, believing :1S we do that the Federation at present being forced oil us is totally impracticable for South Wales and Monmouthshire. This was seconded by Mr DAVID THOMAS, and, on being put to the meeting, was carried unanimously. Mr THOMAS THOMAS said Mabon was a man possessed of grit and backbone, who would not sell the truth, but declared it fearlessly in the faces of his opponents. He moved That this meeting pass a hearty vote of thanks to Mi' bon and his colleagues for signing the present sliding-seale, and desires to express its unabated coniideive in them as leaders. It also desires to pro- tesr, against the insulting treatment received by Mabon, and feels that such conduct towards a tried and true friend is an affront to intelligent workmen throughout the country. Mr JAMES MADDOCK seconded, and this resolu- t:on was also carried unanimously. Votes of thanks to the chairman and Mr [ Clement brought the meeting to a close.

Extension ef th@ Hauliers' Strike. I The hauliers' strike hti now extended its opera- tions to Aberdare ValJ-jy. Early this morning the hauliers engaged aS Aberaman, Treaman, Fforchaman, and Duffryn Collieries met, and decided on not working. The colliers, who had by that time arrived at the various collieries, returned, and did not go down the pits. At Cwmnman Colliery, owned by the Cwmaman Coal Company, no stoppage took place, but we understand that the hauliers there are pledged to follow the Powell Duffryn hauliers. The only Powell Duffryn colliery working to-day is George Pit, and on inquiry there this morning we were informed that only a comparatively small nu.jber of men are engaged. The men employed at tie other four pits which are idle number 2,000..Lilettystienkin, owned by Burnyeat, Brown and On. is also idle. Abernant, Nantmelm, Bwllfa, Gadiys, Aberdare, Merthyr, and Hirwain are worsting. Mardy hauliers stopped this morning Wi th the permission of the management, to enable them to attend the mass meeting at Pontypridd. )

POLICE-COURT PROCEEDINGS. I Damages Against the Defendants. I 1 SPECIAL TEIjKGHAM TO THE "KCHO."l I This morning, at the Ystrad Police-court, the learned Stipendiary (Mr Ignatius W illiams) gave his decision in reference to the summonses issued against the hauliers employed at the Bodringallt Colliery, the property of the Eerndale Company, the hauliers engaged in the National Colliery, Rhoudda Fach, tli6 hauliers employed at the Glamorgan Coal Collieries, Llwynypia, for leaving their work without notice, and causing the stoppage of the collieries. Th cases were tried at Cynnner Police-court on Thursday last when, after hearing the evidence, his Worship advised the hauliers to resume work and gave judgment for the plaintiffs for the amounts claimed. It was, however, generally inferred by the defendants that the summonses had practically been dismissed. His Worship gave this morning a more emphatic decision with regard to the Bodringailt Col- liery hauliers. He remarked that the colliery had lost something close upon £ 500 through the misconduct of the defendants. His Worship gave judgment for the amount costs in each of the cases.—In reference to t'oeiLlwynypia Colliery hauliers, his Worship observed that the company had sustained a loss of £1,200, which exce eded considerably the damages claimed. Judgment for £ 5 damages and costs was also given in each of these cases.—The National Colliery, Iihondda Faeh, had sustained a very much greater loss than the Glamorgan Colliery had, and £ 5 damages and costs against each of the defendants was awarded.

Gathering on Pontypridd Common. TEN THOUSAND MINERS 1\ r1 S C ;1/' B I r- D I ASSEMBLED. I Reporters Ordered Off. I EXTRAORDINARY SCENES. I [St'ECIAfi TFLKGBAM TO THK ECUC. "] I  I..IJ. The great mass meeting (If mmen; from all parts ot South Wales and Monmouthshire was held at noon to-day around the Rockmg-stono on Pontypridd Common. The heat was intense, and the strikers, many of them hav.ng walked man}' mdes beneath a scorching sun, presented a foot-sore and weary appearance. Scores reached Pontypridd at an early hour this morning, and from 10 o'clock a moving mass of humanity poured into the town along the high- ways and ovfr the hills and the mountains from all points of the compass. The Abertillery men I started on the journey as early as four o'clock, and reached the town shortly after 11 o'clock dust-covered and tired, all of them carrying their upper garments and hats on their arms, utilizing pockethandkercl'iefs to shield their heads from the blazing heat and displaying their bare breasts, and were covered with perspiration, in vain attempting to catch a breeze which didnot exist. They were soon followed by the Victoria workmen, who had accomplished the journey by road. Another large contingent was that from Monmouthshire, these men having biought their brass band with them to relieve the monotony of the journey by the sound of music. They reached Pontypridd at 11.30, having left Blaina soon after two o'clock in the morning. Thou- sands of other men from Monmouthshire valleys here arrived. The Rhondda colliers came by road and rail. Doubtless, however, the mass meeting simultaneously held at Tonypandy kept an equally large number of them at home. The common presented the appearance of a huge fair, and even at 10 o'clock enterprising vendors of fruit, pop, nuts, ice-cream and similar luxuries had secured their pitches and were doing a roaring trade. At twelve o'clock prompt the proceedings began. There were then at a low, estimate fully t«n thousand people surrounding the stone, the people standing sitting, and reclining in all positions. Before this Morien had, with more courage than discretion, ascended the stone and sought to address the crowd. He only added fuel to the fire, however, by his glowing description of the hazardous occupation of the toilers of the mines, and his estimate of the wage which they should be paid. When the Archdruid passed the climax of his peroration, and proceeded to urge the men to be reasonable," he was pretty abruptly", caned to order." Cries of dissent arose on all sides. Who is he?" asked the crowd, and pat came the reply from a thousand throats, Chuck him out." Morien now discovered discretion to be the better part of valour, and descendmg from the unhewn rock on which the Druids of old held their ceremonies, allowed the miners to proceed with their own busines in their own way. A chairman was elected from the Rhondda contingent, while the Monmouthshire men supplied a vice chairman. Members of the Press, who had now taken their position at the base of the rude platform were now spotted," and a dtscussion as to their admission became inevitable. A proposition and an amend- ment were moved, and the voting seemed very equal. Tiie chairman, however, declared the amendment excluding the Press to be carried, and newspaper men, pjeketting their affront with their pencils and putting away their note-books, picked their way out through the mass as best they could. Two colliers were found ready to take notes, ahd these were deputed to supply to the Press at the close an official report of the proceeding as the meeting might direct. A grocer found sitting among the miners was spotted, and he was without much ceremony told to go. Like a wise man he obeyed the mandate. Bankers, auctioneers, railwaymen, and others unconnected with the colliers were in their turn found out and compelled to clear away. Some one in the rear of the crowd cried There's a snapshot here, Mr Chairman," a decaration which called forth a thunderous response of Turn him out." The man of the ca.mera. took thb hint and made himself scarce. A good deal of time having been spent in this manner, the chair- man read a letter from someone in Swansea com- plaing of the greed of royalty owners which had led to the abandonment of the Monachdy Colliery, Ynysybwl, and inviting the meeting to express their opinion thereon. The Chairman then proceeded with his opening speech, and the sound of his voice pursued the Pressmen as they slowly clambered down the steep declivity in search of hospitable shelter from the noon-day sun. Soon afterwards someone directed attention to the presence of a member of the Sliding-scale Committee, viz., Mr Alfred Onions, Abercarn. Was a member of the Sliding-scale Committee to be allowed to address that meeting?" was asked. There was a cry of "No," and Mr Onions was asked to retire. He did so, followed by a. crowd of two to three hundred persons, and Mr Isaac Evans was present in the crowd, but no objection seemed to be taken to his remaining in the meeting. THE RESOLUTIONS. 1 PONTYPRIDD, 3.30 p.Al.-Colliers returning from the meeting report that two resolutions have been passed. The first was in favour of a general strike of the colliers and all underground workmen for an advance of 20 per cent., and calling upon colliers and hauliers now at work to come out at once. The second resolution, it is said called upon brokers and other tradesmen not to give credit to those who are now at work. Other people returning from the meeting, however, say that these resolutions have not yet been passed, that the voting upon them was so equal that the discussion had had to be renewed, and is now proceeding.

Telegram from Miss Jenner. The following telegram was this afternoon exhibited outside the Pontypridd Police-station Superintendent police, Pontypridd.

OCEAN COLLIERY HAULIERS SUMMONED. Damages Awarded Against the Defendants This afternoon, at the Ystrad Police-court —before Mr Ignatius Williams and Alderman D. Morgan-a large batch of underground hauliers employed in the Paic, Dare, Maindy, and Ynysyhwl collieries were samnioned for leaving work without notice, the claim against the defendants for the loss sustained by the company being £ 5 in each case. Mr W. Jenkins, agent of the colliers, was present. Mr W. Simons, junr., appeared for the company.—The Bench gave judgment for the plaintiffs, awarding the full amount claimed with costs in each of the cases.

MASS MEETING OF COLLIERS AT TONYPANDY. The Actian of the Hauiiers Disapproved. This afternoon a mass meeting of miners em- ployed in the mid-Rhondda and district was held at the Tonypandy-hall under the presidency of Mr John Morgan, chtckweigher. The building was filled with workmen from different parts of the Rhondda. After discussing the situation the action of the hauliers in the present crisis was disapproved, and it was also decided that every effort should be made by the miners to give perfect fair play to speakers to express their views at public meet- ings. Several of the speakers referred to the dis- graceful conduct of those who had interrupted Mr Daronwy Isaac at the Tonypandy meeting last week, and a resolution censuring the hostile sec- tion was carried unanimously. In the morning member? of the various denominations held a public meeting at the same ball to consider the question of disorderly proceedings at mass meet- ing-- of miners in connection with the present crisis. Short religious services were conducted, and references were made in the prayers to the misconduct of the hauliers.

HARBOURING DESERTERS AT BAHRY. A Warning to Boarding Masters. Thomas Burns, boarding mafter, 18, Holme- street, Cadoxton, appeared besore the Penarth magistrates—Mens LI. Wood and T. R. Thomp- son—to-day, and was dharged with harbouring three seamen, named Hayes, McCormack, and Brown, knowing they were deserters from the ship Yarrowdale. Mr VacheU prosecuted for the Board of Trade, and said the boat named shipped the greater part of her crew at Hambu.g, and at which port the men got the usual advance note. On her arrival at Barry a number of the hands deserted, including the three men named, who were found in bed at Burus's house on the 2Sili ult. The fact was communicated to the Board of Trade authorities, aud Inspecter Werter Hood was sent in search. lie saw Mrs Burns aad asked her not to keep the men there, for they were dHesters. This advice was not heeded, and the officer called again, in company with Sergt. Ben Davies, on the 1st inst., and informed Burns of the circumstances. Burns, however, declined o turn the men out.—Defendant contended he was ignorant of the men being deserters, and that when the Board of Trade office;: came to his house every opportunity of seeing the men was given, and he afterwards turned them out.—The bench dismissed the case of harbouring the men on the 29th, but for the offence on the 1st in3t. defendant was fined 20s and costs for each mau harboured.

I EXCITEMtNT IN THE RHONDDA Yesterday morning thousands of persons from the Riiondcia Valleys visited the scene of the disaster, hundreds travelling by brakes and other vehicles. In the evening hundreds of persons carried away up the valleys splinters of the wrecked coaches to keep as souvenirs of the appalling calamity. Scores of persons were in the town of Pontypridd early yesterday morning inquiring about the names of the victims, to ascertain whether there were any relatives or friends of theirs included in the list of the dead or inj ured. The scenes at the Pontypridd Work- house were heartrending at different times of the day when relatives of the deceased came to identify the bodies. Mr David Rees, veterinary surgeon, Ferndale, identified the body of his cousin, Williams, the blacksmith, and Enoch Davies identified that of the other young smith, who lodged with him. Mr Griffiths and Mr Judd, undertakers, Ponty- pridd, received official instructions to make coffins for the dead, but some of the relatives declined receiving the proposed receptacles, which were to be constructed of oak and trimmed, stating they preferred making arrangements themselves. Ferndale Blacksmiths among the Victims As I was driving up the valley on Sunday even- ing (telegraphs our Rhondda correspondent), a resident from Ferndale related to me a most touching story of the two young men, Williiiii Williams, 25 years of age, and John Davies, 25 years old, blacksmiths, of Ferndale, who were killed in the railway accident at Treforest. The two young men were partners, and had recently jointly established a business at Ferndale, and had erected a snilthy, where the principal part of the shoeing and^miths' work of the district was done. They were going to Car- diff by the train which was wrecked for the purpose of purchasing some materials and implements. They were doubtless killed in- stantaneously. Both were well known as the champion shoeing.smiths, and both had won numer- ous prizes in different shoeing competitions. They worked at the Ferndale collieries previous to their starting business for themselves. They were most faithful companions. A most pitiable incident was the shocking fatality to William Jones, about 40 years of nge, employed as a ganger on the line, and residing at Glanynant, YlJysyhwL lie was working hard with the rescuing party when a portion of the wreckage which was being lifted fell upon him. The car- riages weighed about 20 tons.

Condition of the Injured at Cardiff I Infirmary. Upon inquiring at the infirmary to-day as to the condition of the injured who are detained there, our representative was informed that they were all practically making satisfactory progress. No further patients had as yet been discharged but the general condition of those remaining was as favourable as could be expected under the circumstances. Mr James Lewis, of Canton, a cashier in the office of the Albion Colliery Com- pany, who had one of his legs amputated below the knee, is going on satisfactorily, all things con- sidered, while the boy Williams, who was so severely shaken and was rather a long time in coming round, is now apparently much better. When our representative inquired of Dr. Mor- land, the house surgeon at the infirmary, at three o'clock this afternoon how the injured were progressing, the information furnished was to the effect that all were going on very fairly.

OPENING OF THE INQUEST. I [SPZCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE ECHO."] This afternoon Mr E. B. Reece, coroner for the Cardiff and Pontypridd District, opened the inquest upon nine bodies of those killed in the Taff Vale Railway accident near Treforest on Saturday. There was a large attendance of persons closely interested, prominent amongst them being a number of the Taff directors,includ- ing Mr Vassall, deputy chairman, Messrs D. A. Thomas, M.P., Pyke Thompson, Vivyan, Robinson, and David Evans. There were also several officials present, including Messrs Beasley (manager), T. H. Riches (loco- motive superintendent), J. W. Brewer (engineer), and Harland (traffic superintendent), and Mr Ingledew, solicitor, was there on behalf of the railway company. I Remarks by the Coroner. The Coroner at the outset said Gentlemen, we meet together to-day to make enquiry into the accident that took place on Saturday foist on the Taff Vale Ra;lway-the most serious railway accident we have ever had in this locality.

I Interview with Dr Howard Davies. I Dr. Howard Davies, medical practitioner to the Pontypridd Union, Pontypridd, was near the scene when the accident occurred. In reply to inquiry he gave the following accountof theharrowing scenes he witnessed during the time he rendered inestimable professional service in removing the injured and attending to their various injuries :—He said I was down on the spot at the time quite unprepared for any- thing of the kind. I had hardly anything of what I required to attend to the poor injured persons." How many cases did you notice ? I think there were about 20 cases all of the persons bleeding. And which were the worse cases ? The worse cases were under the coaches that had toppled over the embankmtnt. The injured and the dead were entangled in the wreckage from two to three hours before they were extri- cated. I knew that many of them were alive, for I could see the movements of their limbs. In two of the cases I could see the legs fast, and though the poor fellows were only held fast by the legs we could not release them." How were the wrecked coaches situated ?" Two of the coaches were one upon the other, the wheels being uppermost. They were very large coaches. There was tremendous confusion there and excitement, everybody seeming in a most affrighted state. Everyone was doing everything he possibly could to aid the sufferers. There was no order of any kmd there. One by one we got them out, but we had to smash up the carriages with hatchets and crowbars and other implements." The cries of the poor sufferers were, no doubt, heartrending ?" Oh, the scenes were most harrowing. Did you see a child or a baby among the ruins ?" "It is rumoured there was an infant." Did you notice one ?" I noticed a little boy about 10 years of age' He was squeezed up in the wreckage for hours, and was held tight by the legs." Were there any medical practitioners there besides yourself when the accident occurred ?" No, I was alone there for about an hour. I attended to the most serious cases as fast as I could. We had the injured conveyed a short distance from the ruins, and they were placed upon the grass." It is a very steep embankment ?" Oh very steep, and we had to run up and down from one to the other. Eight of the worst cases were taken to the neighbouring cot- tages. They were men, women, and children, and we placed them upon the beds and sofas and cushions there. It was quite three hours before we got the sufferers all out. I weut with all possible haste to the nearest signal-box and wired to Car- diff asking for a locomotive and carriages to have the injured persons conveyed to the infirmary. The train came up in about a.n hour after the accident with three doctors from Cardiff. Dr. Edgar Jones and two others. By this time had most of the injured been ex- tracted from the debris ?" No. I sent my man down to my surgery at Pontypridd to fetch splints, &c., as quickly as possible, and he returned in a very short time with splints and bandages and other dressing materials. We then bandaged and dressed the wounds and the fractured limbs temporarily. Ten of the sufferers had dislocated shoulders, some suffering from fractured ribs, some from broken arms, others had been severely crushed about different parts of the body, and one poor fellow had a severely crushed foot, amputated after he was conveyed into the Cardiff Infirmary. The other doctors and myself then got stretchers, made of the pieces of timber that were strewn about, and we utilised the cushions of the carriages to make the ambulances as comfortable as possible. We then conveyed the sufferers up the steep embankment, and put them where the other injured persons were lying. I think we had altogether 25 serious cases removed to the vans. There was plenty of stimulants on the spot. We had to leave some of the sufferers on the grass for some time to enable them to re- cover a little from the great exhaustion. Some of them were shockingly injured. I noticed some doubled up, entangled in the dibris. It was a most dIfficult thing to carry them up the steep slope. "There was no other way but up the em bankment ?" No other way at all. There was plenty of assistance there, but we had to be exceedingly careful." Did you speak to some of the sufferers while they were being extricated ?" Oh, yes. One young lady made inquiries about her sister. She asked, 'Is my sister in the train ?' She was afraid her sister was killed. I told her I thought she was all right. One of them asked me on being told they were to be conveyed to Cardiff, how they were to be taken there, and I replied, 'By train.' She was terror-stricken when I mentioned the train, and said she would not go by train. She seemed horrified at the idea. You witnessed the sufferers actii-Ily writhing amidst the dibrisl" Yes; men and women were writhing in agony. Some of them were doubled up. but they were moving just enough to enable one to per. ceive they were alive. Had it been possible to extricate them quickly a number of lives might have been saved." Who wired to Cardiff Infirmarv" "A wire w?s immediately despatched to Cardiff to prepare 50 beds readv, and when We got down there we found every possible prepara- tion had been made. Dr. Sheen. Dr. Wallace. Dr. Taylor, Dr. Morland, and other medical piactititoriers attended to the sufferers. The nurses also rendered aomirable service. The scene of the accident was a very isolated spot When I was leaving the place to go to Cardiff I saw some young mai with bruises and blood on their faces walking away to return home u was an awful sIght. We vised pockethandkerchiefs and neckties and everything available for dress- ing the wounc.s. The sufferers were in great pain oil the way to Cardiff. I had ten in the van. David Thomas, passenger guard from Ab-ryst- wyth, had his shoulder dislocated. He was in too much pain to walk about, and we had to chloroform him at the Cardiff Innr?.y to reduce the d*.?lociticn. There w? cre-H ? excrement, and tremendous shouts of joy?t-?- forth as the entombed were brought out of the debris, alive. e could see some trying to creep away from underneath the rums. It was a dreadful spectacle. Supt. Jones came down. Having conferred together, we decided to haw nine dead bodies removed to the Pontypridd orkhouse. Some of the spectators had tried to staunch the blued ¡ mhing from a scalped wound of one of the sufferers with about a handful o! tobacco pressed upon the cut. I took the tobacco away and dressed the wound, applying- the necessary pressure by means of knots and bandages. Sad Death of a Rescuer. A touching* Ft-I)iy (if the death of a gallant fellow who, along with scores of others, risk-xl much by rendering assistance to the wounded, was told one-of our representatives by Sergeant McDonald, of the Pontypridd police force. Information of the disaster was received at the police-station about a quarter-past five, and the sergeant accompanied Supt. Evan Jones, who, with a staff of constables, ambulance appliances, etc., had at once proceeded to the railway station. Here a special relief train awaited thPID, Mr Davies, of the Victoria Hotel, and Mr John Thomas, of tho Wheat SbeaJ, also accompanying them. On arriving at the scene of the disaster they found a large crowd of people assembled, and saw a number of carriages lying at the bottom and on the slope of the embankment. The sergeant noticed one especially which was turned upside down, with its wheels in the air. He saw old Mr Brown, generally known as the Cardiff cheap jack," who was lying beneath the debris of the carriage, a number of men at the t:me being busily engaged trying to extricate him. A new saddle belonging to the old man was pulled out, covered with bloodstains. The carriage was lying on the incline, and its sides were smashed in. and those imprisoned, dead and alive, were penned in, with an entangled form, beneath the seats of the various compartments. It could be seen that Brown was quite dead, though he had sustained scarcely any injuries about the face. The bodies were ro jammed between the woodwork of the carriage that it was only with great difficulty they were extricated. Underneath one side lay the little boy Williams, of Aberystwyth, alive, though suffering severely from a scalp wound. The body of a lady, supposed to be his mother, was also jammed in under the earriage. It was found impossible to extricate the little boy without raising the coach bodiy, so that two jacks" were at once procured, and after partly raising the carriage from the ground, they got out the boy and the bodies of the lady and a man. The boy was at once attended to by Dr. Howard Davies. Then another mall's body was seen en- tangled amid the ruins of the coach. He was alive and mourning with pain. Some water was given to him, and one of the resetters W illiam Jones, of Ynysybw), who bad been a passenger by the train, got under the carriage from the )o'vr side in order to assist in getting the man out. It should be mentioned that those rendering assistance had been warned to observe every care with regard to themselves, bnt in the excitement and rush of the moment. the recruiting party appeared to care little for their own safety, their one object being to save the injured. Whilst Jones was underneath the carriage, the others were endeavouring to raise it a little more with the jacks," when, without an instants warning, one of the jacks gave way, and down came the coach with a sickening crush, kill- ing buth J one." and the mau he was attempting to rescue ain,ost instantaneously. It is needles:, to say that the bystanders were inestimably shocked at the occurrence, and when the bodies of the two men were got out it was seen that Jones had been caught, ou the back and chest, which were severely crushed. The body of Mr W. A. Williams, solicitor, was got out of the surue carnage. This gentleman's story is a sad one. He was the chief clerk in the employ of Messrs Spickett, solicitors, Pontypridd, and belonged to Nottingham. He was about 25 years of age. liviug at Wainimskin, near Llantrisant, and it is said lie was going to Nottingham via Cardiff, and taking his little boy liouie with film. The boy was saved, but the father perished. Our representative was informed that the unfortunate gentleman had made arrangements for commenc- ing to practice ou his own account at Barry, and that he had intended to enter upon his carter there next week.

Scene in Cardiff: Besieging the "Echo Office. The interest displayed on Saturday night in Cardiff in reference to the disaster was quite intense and well-nigh unique. When the seventh edition of the South Wales Echo was issued con- taining particulars of the lamentable occurrence, every copy was bought up with extraordinary avidity. The vicinity of the publishing office in St. Mary-street was besieged with :1.11 excited throng for several hours, and by the time the eighth edition of the Echo was in circula- tion, furnishing tuIler facts of the railway accident, and setting out interesting interviews with survivors, almost every person to be met with held an open copy of that newspaper, read- ing the thrilling accounts. It is certain no such anxiety to possess a newspaper has been ex- hibited in the Welsh Metropolis for many years past. It appeared as if a big battle had been ought. Such was the demand for the Echo that, before 11 o'clock at mght, sums varying from Id to 3d were offered for a copy of that journal.

PREVIOUS AOCIOEN rs ON THE T. V R T.V.R. It is a coincidence worth recording that the previous serious railway accident in the district occurred at Pontypridd Station, on the same company's line, a few miles further up, on the corresponding day of 1892. About 8.20 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15th, 1892, an alarmmg collision occurred at the platform, resulting in serious iujury to 12 persons, and the destruction of much railway plant. On that occasion the ordinary down passenger train from Merthyr, due at Pontypridd at 8.7 ,m., dashed into a number of carriages composing a speeial train, which were standing at the down platform and in which were many otdinary passengers and a large number of Aber- dare and Mountain Ash Volunteers (who, with their Pontypridd brethren in arms, had been to Treorky for inspection by Col. Rawhns, of Car- diff), and it was supposed that the cause of the accident was the signalman giving the driver of the former train the signal clear," and allowing him to come on too soon. Although several of the occupant? of the special carriages were badly- cut about the head and otherwise injured, there was, happily, no fatal cases which is all the more surprising in view of the fact that almost the whole of the carriages were practically destroyed. Undoubt- edly there must have been a dreadful loss of life had the Pontypridd Volunteers, numbering about 60, and who had occupied the rear portion of the special (the end struck by the down train engine) had not just vacated their seats and departed from the platform. In 1874 a fearful collision occurred at Ponty- pridd Station, when a similarly large number of lives were sacrificed. (Additional particulars on 4th p)

A HARTLEPOOL SHIP RAMMED BY A MAN-OF-WAR. During a dense fog on Saturday evening, H.M.S. Forth, on her way from Torbay to Ply- mouth after the naval manoeuvres, came into collision with a merchant steamer. The fog was so heavy that the look-out men on either side of the Forth could not see each other, and until within a few seconds of the collision those on board either ship bad no idea of their proximity. The merchant steamer, which proved to be the Kirby, of Hartlepool, was struck amidships on the port eide a slanting blow with the Forth's ram, which tore 'an enormous chasm, 20 feet long. and almost immediately filled her engine-room. She had on board a crew of 22 hands, and also the captain's sister and two children and chief officer's wife. The captain of the Forth, who displayed great ooolness and promptitude, ordered the engines full speed astern, and the two vessels parting immediately lost sight of each other. Boats were lowered from the Forth, and, as the Kirkby was in danger of sinking, took off the women and children. The Forth subsequently towed the Kirkby into Ply. mouth Sound, where she was anchored in safety. But for the fact that the engines of the Forth were going dead slow, the Kirkby must inevitably have foundered. The Forth's fore compartment was filled with water. _——

Collision Between Cardiff-bound Ships. A GLASGOW VESSEL SUNK. Arrival of the Crew at Cardiff. On Sunday morning the Liverpool eteamfe Inchmarlow (Capt. Aspey), about 3,000 tons,, arrived at Mountstuart Dry Docks, Cardiff haviDg on board the captain and crew of the s.s. Elgiva (about 1,000 tons), owned it Glasgow by Messrs Coivill, Lowaen and Com pany, the two vessels having been in collision or the previous day between the Longships and tht Lizards, about ten miles E.N.E. off Land's- End, and the latter having been sunk. No lives wert lost, and no one was injured. The Elgiva had crew of 14, including the captain (Cargill). SJw was outward-bound from Penarth for Kiel, with a. cargo of coal, and the Inchmarlow was coming if from Havre, light, for Cardiff. Oti Sunday night a South Wales Daily New reporter interviewed Captain Cargill and several members of the crew of the Egi\'a at the Cardifc Sailors Home, where they werg temporarily domiciled. Captain Cargill, in reply to the reporter, said —We left Penarth on Friday morning at six. o clock, and all went well with us until the collision took place at 6.30 on Saturday morning, between the Longships and the Lizard. Thf weatuer was very thick at the time, and the Inchmarlow struck us amidships, and practicalil ran us down, for the Eigiva foundered a few minutes afterwards. We had only time to put out our dingy, into which we had to crowd tbe whole crew of 14, and by the time we were picked up it was so full of water that we were on the point of sinking. The Inchmarlow, however, put off a boat and picked us up in time, and took us aboard. There were no lives lost, but tbat was a miracle, I think, considering the way we wei-e struck and the short time we bad to get out our boat. John Alfred Cann. who was on the look-out oiL the Elgiva; Michael Donoghue, A.B.; John H arison. A. B.. and others of the crew of the same vessel also told the reporter about the circum- stances attending the voyage and the collision. They said the weather, from the time they left Penartb, was thick off and on, but shortly before tiie time of the collision the fog became dense. The Inchmarlow seemed to come upon them all at once, and, striking their vessel amidshipson tbestar. board-side, cut her down at one, The crew had barely time to save their lives, and they lost &U their belongings. A cutter was launched front the Inch mar lot\" and took the men on board, but they had a narrow escape, as their sma!! boat WiooB full of water, and sinking. The look-out man said the Inchmarlow was right on the Elgiva be- fore be saw her, and he heard only one blast of the whistle before the latter vessel was run into. Subsequently our representative visited tb6 Inchmarlow in the Mountstuart Dry Dock and saw the mate and others, but the information he received did not go beyond confirming that which be had already obtained from the captain and crew of the Eigiva. The Inchmarlow sustained considerate damage to her bows above and below the water line, and made a good deal of water after the casualty, but, as she was well protected by bulkheads, she wat able to make for Cardiff with safety under hei own steam.

Iv the Church of Clajuon, in Sussex, which is undergoing restoration, a mtiuber of freacoes have been discovered under the whitewash.

NEWPORT GAS COMPANY. A Prosperous Hatf-vear. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Newport Gas Company was held at the offices, Newport, to-day, the chairman of the board of directors (Mr E. J, Phillip-0 presiding. The other directors present were Messrs H. J. Davis, H. M. Brewer, R. Laybourne, J. T. Firbank, and V. G. Cartwright. Amongst. the sbarehoMers present were R?v. Canon Hawkins Alderman S. Batchelor, 'and Dr. Garrod Thomas. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the shareholders upon the satisfactory result of the half year's working. The result shows an improvement, both compared with the corresponding period and also with the last half-year. The profits were £ 1,000 greater than those of twelve months ago. A savin" had been effected in several departments, that of coal amounting to JB800. The increase in the make of as, owing to the fine weather of the past half. year, was below the average, the increase being at the rate of 3 per cent. as compared with 6 per cent. in the former half-year. The receipts from iresidual products showed a loss. The make of ifcas showed an increase of 50ft. per ton ot coI. Referring to the proposed itistitllation of the 'electric light at Newport, he said that he did not think that the electric light would do much harm !to the gas companies. He suggested that the jelecferic lighting in Newport should be carried out by a private company. He quoted several ^instances in which corporations throughout the country had laid on the electric light at a great outlay of capital, and in many instances the works were being carried on at ;ft loss. The electric light in Newport .would be confined to a small area, whilst -If the corporation carried out the scheme, trie whole of the ratepayers would have to contribute to the cost. The Chairman also referred to the Joss the company had sustained by the death of the late Mr W. R. G"n, who was a member of the directorate. The Chairman considered that the company's outlook was a very favourable one, and he anticipated that the result of the ensuing half- year would show a still further increase in the profi ts. Mr R. LAYBOUJINK seconded the proposition, and the report was adopted. In answer to a question, the CHAIRMAN stated that the company iiad an ample stock of coal in hand. Messrs Laybourne and Firbank were re-elected directors, and Mr H. Mullock was reappointed one of the company's) auditors. Oil the motion of Canon Hawkins, the chairman and directors were tbankeu for their service:

A STRAIGHT QUESTION. I Mr Robert Alexander Ronnie, Rhipbrokn-'s clerk, explained to the Newport inr.gistrates this morning that on Saturday afternoon he imbibed as lie was careful to expl.'iill, not wisely but too well, and when near Watts, Ward and Co's offices in Dock-street he lost himself. He tried to call a cal¡, hut {lId not :mc:3eed. A woman named Emma .Teckson, who was hanging around the corner of Cross-street, sought to g-et him into a bous(-, and put on his hat and gave hjtn back his • umbrella. Finding he would not, she took the umbrella, and went to a bedroom. The police were told of the theft, recovered the umbrella from the bedroom, and found tlie owner in a helpless stat* in Geoi-geV-bnildings, jn.^t behind the Hr¡pe and Anchor. The owner of the silk told the bench he might, have thrown the umbrella to the woman.-Mr Wansbrough Do von mean to say you were so drunk that you do not know whether you gave the umbrella or )lot ?-I\lr Rennie You put it straight Let me explain that since I had a suntroke abroad, if I take a little I go off at once.—The Bench dismissed th8 charge of theft against the woman, low tea-Tnl and pen vent, and decreed that Mr Rennie should pay the drunkard's fine. -==

CARDIFF SANATORIUM, I At a meeting of the Cardiff Town Council, held under the presidency of Ald. Daniel Lewis (deputy mayor), Councillor Grossman drew atten- tion to the letter, dated 5!h July, from the Opera- tive Mason's Society, alleging that Me.«m Turner and Sons had sublet stone work for the new sana- torium. The borough engineer was to have torium. The boroug h pnp;i n?er w:? to hp.va inquired into the matter. Ha asked whether the engineer had made inquiries, and said that it had always been the custom for !?tone dressings, with the exception of granite and marble, to be done at the side of the works. He was informed that a lot of the stone u-ed at the sanatorium was dressed at the quarries in the Forest of Dean, and that some of it was done on piece-work. The Borough Engineer said he had made inquiries into the matter, and had assured himself that there was no infringement of contract. A little piece work had, with regard to corner stones, been going on, but that had now been stopped.— In reply to Councillor Short, the Borough Engineer further stated that the withdrawal of Borne of the work was not done owing to incom- petency, but through a mistake on the part of the contractor.

TRAM NUISANCE IN WliNDSOR- PLACE. At the ordinary meeting of the Cardiff Town Council, held to-day, Councillor Waring intro- duced a deputation consisting of Dr. Hoi der and other residents of Windsor-place, who complained of the excessive noise and disturbance caused by the innumera ble trams passing along Windsor- place. Dr. Ilorder stated that the tramway com- pany had been communicated with Ly a number of residents about a month ago, but that no notice hud been t;,1;"n cf their communication. They therefore urged upon the council to use their influence in prevailing upon the company to lay down wooden blocks at this particular part of the tritni route ?o us to deaden the sound of the enormous traffic, as far as pos,itle.-Tiie matter was referred to the public works committee.

I TRADESMEN'S SIGN BOARDS. I At a ni"tídg or tlw Cal'iLtf Town council,! held to-da* C, liit-,oiiief,?d a I deputation consisting of tradcsm?i and shop- ()f business in the main streets of i lie town who, amongst others, have leceived private works committee to remove projecting sign boards. It was con- tended thru these sign Loards had been up in some ca.-es mr m:u:> \e .i-, that they were no eyesore, and a emv-nier.c* to «he public as well as to the tradespeople. The deputation urged that more time should be given them in obeying the notices issued, and that they might retain the signs objected to during the summer and part of the enduing winter. The council agreed to consider the matter.

SPORTING ITEMS. Dan Carey, the champion hammer thrower of Ireland, is to con.pote at the World's Champion- ship in Chicago in September. Jack Steel, of London, and Billy Mountain, of Newport, are matched to %ht~to a finish for £ 20. the tight to take plaoe within six weeks. XV. G. Grace, jnl1. who took part in the Gloucestershire v. Middlesex match, is short- sighted, and is hfuJdiopped by having to play in glasses. That Kavensbury will make the favourite pallop a: Dooeaster is the belief of most sound judges. A serious accident occurred to a cyclist at Herne Hill on Saturday. F. Eurnand, after winning; bis heat, failed to guide his machine propsriy, and was precipitated over the fence, breaking one of his legs, and knocking: out two of his teeth. He was conveyed to Guy's Hospital as quickly as possible. The crack yachts, Vigilant, Jubilee, Colonia, and Pilgrim, started on Friday in the race for the Goblet Cup. under mIst unfavourable con- ditions, says a Newport (U.S.A.) teiegram. There was scarcely any movement in the air, and a thick fog hung over the water, the race con- sequently resolving itself into a drifting match. The Jubilee at the start outsailed the other boats, but was afterwards oveitaken by the Vigilant, which drifted past her. The Pilgrim suffered some accident on board, and took no prominent part in the race. When last seen, about 16 miles from the finish, the Vigilant and the Jubilee were a.!most abreast, with the Colonia about one-eighth of a mile astern. The race had not been com- pleted at latest advices to hand. The Great Yorkshire Handicap is still popular with owners. Amongst the three-year-olds en. gaged are the St. Leger outsiders Pergamos. Self Sacrifice, Childwick, and Red Ensign. One of the older horses engaged is the five-year-old Soleil by Little Duck out of La L miere. The horse appears in the name of M. de St. Alary. Cuttle- stone is one of the 45, and people there are who believe that a course to suit that arcb-deceiver win yet be found. Believers in public form in horse racing have had mine the best of recent arguments, and those who follow closely the rule of backing what they see' went down heavily last week. "Paper" good things were upset with a frequency that was perfectly tantalising, not to say annoying, and when Qnickfoot at W indsor and Pennyless on the occasion of his second essay at Kempton came up liard indeed were some of the things heard uttered by disappointed backers of these horses for earlier engagements. Who could have fancied Qnickfoot for his Windsor engaeement after his "tailed off" exhibition in the Lewes Handicap on the previous Saturday, and how is the form of Pennyless at Kempton on Tuesday and Wednes- day to be explained? Then, again, Qaeen of the Spring had the appearance of being almost a good thing for the City of London Stakes, run on Wednesday, after running so excellent a race with Cabin Boy in the Golden Handicap, but she not only finished an indifferent third, but was beaten in their places by Worcester, who, upon almost similar terms, finished many lengths in the rear of the "Queen at Gatwick.

The wicker looked to be in good condition. When he had scored five Stoddart wis palpably missed bv Trott at point. Turner and Trumble kept an admirable length, and were dicffiuli to score from. Sto.jdart, after starting somewhat unsteadily, settled down to play in fine form, and runs came at a fairly good pace. A nu separation conld be effected. McLeod mlli G iff on took up the bowling. Stoduart. when 30, looked to give a chance at the wicket, and Grace made a very dangerous hit, which N-C'IIR jast 01:t Of Gilren's reach at extra clip. Stoddart made o out of 8J JI1 an hour and 20 minutes, and was entflfl^&sticaily cheered. The applause was renewed when the hundred w-iu up on the board at 1.35.
