LLAXHARKY. OBITUARY.—It is with deep regret that we have to recom the death of Mrs. Catherine Radciiffe. widow of the late Mr. Daniel Radciiffe. of Ruperra. whose deathwe announced four weeks ago. Mrs. Radciiffe was not well at that time. but no one dreamt that she would have so soon followed her dear. faithful hus- band to the grave. She was only 46 years of age. and leaves seven sons to mourn her loss. and three of whom are unable to provide for themselves. She died on the 3rd. and was buried on the 9th inst. A great number of relatives and neighbours gathered on "the occasion to show their respect for the departed and their sin- cere sympathy with the bereaved ones. Strong men wept bitterly at the sad sight—>even bovs without father or mother. The Rev. W. C. Davies. of Zoar. Llantnsant. read and offered up praver at the honse. At Llanharry Chapel the Rev. T. T. Jones, of Maindy! commenced the service, and the Rev. John Davies. of Taihirion, preached from the last words of the fourth chapter of Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians. At the grave the Rev. J. Llewellyn, of Bethel. Llantri- sunt. led in prayer. May the God of the father and mother protect, guide, and bless the bereaved ones with all the blessing needed m this life. and prepare them to meet their parents and others around the throne, and unite in magnifying Him whos-ts thereon,

An inspection of the police-station afterwards took place, and the remarkable neat- ness and cleanliness of the station throughout. drew forth the unqualified approbation of the inspector. The labour and interest bestowed in bringing the building to its present splendid con- dition reflects the greatest credit upon Mrs. Row, the estimable wife of Sergeant Row.

Cilfynydd is now a growing town of 5.000 inhabitants, composed almost mainly of the wor king men of the Albion Colliery, and it goes without saying that such an institution will be a great boon to the inhabitants.

This was done in such a manner as must certainly have carried conviction, as the men were most enthu- siastic in their reception, and pledged themselves to further this most important movement which i; fmught with benefits in the future for the children of working men. With that object a public meeting will be held to take an expression of opinion of the whole of the workmen on this subject. We understand the form most favoured will be the establishment of scholar- ships to be competed for by the children of Clyitaeh Vale workmen.

WILFUL DAMAGE. — Hopkin Davies, Henry Hayes, Charles Shepherd, Edwin Ashgrove, four boys, were charged with burning a hedge in Eglwysilan. and damaged it to the extent of 13s. It seemed that the prosecutor had once forgiven the defendants, and the case was dismissed. STEALING RUM. For committing the above offence, Jane Ricketts, an unfortunate, was brought up.—Thomas Benjamin, a hitcher at Mardy Colliery, was going home with the rum in his pocket. Defendant followed him home. and put her hand in his pocket and stole the rum and a half-sovereign. Defendant pleaded Not guilty," and was committed to take her trial at the next Quarter Sessions. POCKET PICKING AT PONTYPRIDD. — Charles Williams was charged on remand with attempting to pick the pocket of Mrs. Elizabeth Mills, at the People's Park, Pontypridd, on Mabon's Day last.— James Edwards, Market-street, said he caught the man in the act, and the defendant was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. THE RECENT BURGLARIES.—JosephNeiahardt, a German, was brought up in custody charged with breaking into the house of Mr. James Phillips, solicitor, Pontypridd, and stealing a number of articles, value :£ 12. It seems that about five o'clock on the morning of the 4th inst., Mr. Phillips heard someone going down stairs, but thinking it was the servant took no notice of the matter. When he got up, however, he found that several articles had been stolen, and that eight bottles of beer which he had in the house had been drunk, and a number of silver articles taken away. The articles produced were those he had lost.—Police-constable Alfred Thomas stationed at Aberdare, gave evidence as to the arrest of the delinquent at a pawnbroker's shop at Aberdare. with a great many articles on his person. On being charged he said they had been given him.—■ Superintendent Jones said that when the prisoner was charged at the Pontypridd Police Station, he admitted that he was very hungry at the time.— The Bench committed him to take his trial at the next assizes.

A DOG AS A WITNESS. At the Cymmer Petty Sessions on Thursday (be- fore the Stipendiary and Dr. Parry), Jos. Phillips, Penygraig. was charged with keeping a dog with- out a license.

(Laughter.)—The defendant then brought in the dog, which jumped on his shoulder and proceeded to show his teeth.—The Stipendiary: I am no judge of dogs—(laughter)— but I should think the dog is over age, and you will have to pay the costs and obtain a license without delay.

PONTYPRIDD SUBSIDIARY DRAINAGE SCHEME, LOCAL GOVERN HEN V INQUIRY. On Wednesday Mr. Thomas Codrington, M.I.C.E., one of the inspectors of the Local Government Board, presided over a public inquiry held at the Local Board Offices. Pontypridd, into the applica- tion of the Pontypridd Local Government Board for sanction to borrow £ 2."),000 for works of sewerage. The members of the board present were, Messrs. D. Leyshon (chairman), James Roberts, D. Rowlands. P. Gowan, T. Taylor, and LI. Grover (clerk), J. Sprague, and E. Rees (surveyor). There were also present, Messrs. W. Jones, Gellideg; Morgan Weeks (miners' agent), A. J. Evans (architect), D. Arnott (chemist), and others. The surveyor submitted plans of the scheme, which comprise the construction of a subsidiary drainage throughout the Local Board district to connect with the main carrier, with an outfall in the Bristol Channel, now constructed by the Pon- typridd and Ystradyfodwg Joint Sewerage Board. The Surveyor estimated the total outlay, including the costs of the scheme itself, compensation, ease- ments. kc., at :!Z 23,481. Mr. W. Harpur, M.I.C.E., borough engineer, Car- diff. examined by H. LI. Grover, gave evidence in support of the scheme projected by Mr. E. Rees, which, he said, was one well calculated for the district. It was highly essential that such a scheme for sewerage should be carried out without delay. The scheme could be extended so as to be utilized for the outside districts about to be in- cluded within the jurisdiction of the Local Board. The Clerk, in reply to Mr. W. Jones, stated that the present sewers would be utilized for surface water only, while in the case of drains now used by two or three parties, and which could be defined as sewers, would have to be disconnected at the expense of the ratepayers generally. Councillor Roberts and Mr. Rowlands said that such a course would be manifestly unfair, but the Clerk said that that was the law. Owners of property within 100 feet of the new sewers, whose property were drained into cesspools, would have to connect at their own expense. The outlying districts, when incorporated within the local board area, would have to contribute towards the cost of the scheme, which, however, would then be extended into the new districts.—Copies of re- ports prepared by Mr. Chatterton, C.E., and Mr. Harpur having been handed in. the inquiry closed.

THE WILSON PERJURY CASE. MR. WILSOX BOUND OVER TO PROSECUTE. At Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday Mr. J. H.

Dr. H. J. Paine was the only magistrate on the bench, and at the outset of the proceedings Mr. Wilson expressed his sorrow at having to bring Dr. Paine down to the court again. —Dr. Paine said it was all right: he was very glad he was able to attend.—Mr. Wilson was then for- mally bound over in two sums of £50 to prosecute the persons named at the assizes to be held at Swansea in August.

Id. for work or labour done. and damages for breach of contract. There was a counter claim of £ 9 7s. 2d. Mr. Rhys (Morgan and Rhys), Pontypridd. appeared for the plaintiff. and Mr. W. R. Randall for the defendants—The plaintiff said that he had been employed at the narrow heading at the Ffaldau Colliery. John Lewis, the overman, asked him to square up the work and go on to another job. Lewis asked him to go to the deep heading instead of T. Llewellyn, who had been dismissed. He agreed that the terms should be £ 2 2s. 6d. a yard and the per- centages. with the coal underneath the heading. He was to drive a gradient < of 4in. until the rail was on the bottom. He started three men on the job on the 13th May. He commenced himself on the 16th. He was to have Id. a day for filling the water.—Joseph James and Thomas Thomas cor- roborated the evidence of the plaintiff.—John Lewis, overman at the Ffaldau Colliery, said that Thomas Llewellyn and Thomas Gibbon had first been employed at the heading in question, but through neglect and subsequent illness, they were dismissed. He told Thomas that he was to go as Llewellyn left off a gra- dient of 6 inches to the yard. T. Llewellyn commenced at 4in. and left off at liin. D. Thomas was to have made 6 yards at 6in. as agreed in his contract. But he did not do the work at the right gradient. The work had been done at 4in. instead of (Jin. John M. Wallace, manager of Ffaldau Colliery. said he saw plaintiff the day he commenced work. and told him he was a lucky man in having such a heading to work in. It was to be 8ft. by 6in. The £ 2 2s. 6d. was to include everything except haulage. In a fortnight after the work had been commenced he examined the work. and found the proper gradient had not been made. He told Thomas that he would have to alter the gradient or witness would put men to do it and charge plaintiff for it. The Workmen's Committee examined the heading, but they referred the matter to the District Committee. The plan produced is a joint survey, and is a correct one. Robert A. Blandy. assistant manager, proved the measurements. Thomas Llewellyn said he previously worked in the heading at .t2 2s. 6d. and the percentage, and in case of a rock 2s. 6d. extra, with a gradient of 6in. in the yard. There was nothing said as to water. It was to include everything, except haulage.—Judgment for plaintiff, and for the defendant on the counterclaim. RCGH PRITCHARD Y.

He was paid the allowance in the first pay ticket, but it was omitted from the second. Treharne told him that 3Ir. Salathiel had stopped the allowance. He saw Mr. Salathiel. and he told him he should have it. William Pritchard corroborated. John Thomas, miners' agent for the district, said he went to the International Colliery to settle the dispute. He saw Mr. Salathiel. and he told him he had nothing to do with any agreement, and he said it appeared that it was a case of blackmailing, Mr. Salathiel said he had given the Is. (id. instead of the 5d.. which, he said. was an advantage to the workman but in this particular instance the Is. 6d. was not better than the od. John T. Salathiel said he saw plaintiff on the llith February last. and he promised to do the job at Is. 6d. a yard instead of the allowance. It was not true that he promised him any allowance. He had never known Is. 6d. at od. given before. He | would not come there if it wis a question of money.—J.

It appears that Samuel Thomas and illiam John Davies were stand- ing near an empty train on the crossing, awaiting the return from the face of their stall the haulier with a loaded tram of coal, and alongside the main road David John Wilkins, the door-boy, also stood waiting, when, in bringing the train out, it unfortunately caught in a broken arm of timber near where they stood, drawing both pairs out, crushing Samuel Thomas against the empty tram, and causing a fall of roof. William John Davies immediately jumped to rescue the door-boy, who would undoubtedly have been seriously injured had he not done so, when he was caught by the falling iJrhris and sustained a wound on his leg. The boy Wilkins escaped with a contused arm only. They were immediately brought to bank and carried home but the poor fellow Samuel Thomas succumbed to internal injuries received the same night about 11.15 fi.m.—The deputy-coroner (Mr. C.

The same afternoon the remains were interred in the Llanwonno Churchyard, the mournful procession being an excep- tionally large one.

RAILWAY RATES IN SOUTH WALES. PROTEST FROM WELSH M.P.'S. A special whip was issued for a meeting of the members for Wales and Monmouthshire yesterday (Thursday) in the Conference-room at the House of Commons, with representatives of railwoy rates associations and the Glamorgan County Council. The object of the conference was to protest against the rumoured intention of the railway rates committee to recommend that. as distinguished from !d. per ton for the freight of coal and other produce in Lancashire no less than 12d, per ton should be charged in Wales. As soon as this reported meeting became known, several of the gentlemen concerned hurriedly consulted with Mr. Pritchard Morgan, M.P., Mr. W. Abraham. M.P. (Rhondda), Mr. Bowen Rowlands, M.P. Mr. T. P. Price. M.P., and others in the Parlia- mentary lobby. As it is understood that the Railway Rates Bill may come up to-day in the House on the report stage, it was agreed that it should be objected to, and so thrown over to Monday or Thursday next, when it is expected that all the members for Welsh constituencies, ir- respective of party, will strongly oppose any attempt to prescribe higher rates of railwa carriage in Wales than are laid down for other parts of the country.

Wenvoe was very strongly represented, and were lucky in securing the services of Mr. J. H. Brain, the old Oxford captain, and it prominent mem- ber of the Gloucestershire team. The captain of the Blossoms winning the toss, decided to put his men in first, which seemed to be the best policy at the time though it turned out to be rather disastrous. The wicket improved during the match, contrary to all expectation. The bowling of Brain and Cole, aided by the state of the ground, proved too much for the Blossoms, whose early promise was nipped in the bud. Brain bowled exceedingly well, and succeeded in bringing the "hat trick." For Wenvoe, Brain and Poole played free wicket for their 49 not out an 1 36 respectively, their hitting being very clean. The Blossoms in their second innings were seen to a much greater advantage, and although W. Williams and W. M. Douglas were the only members who bloomed into double figures, the score for eight wickets reached the respectable total of 86. W. Williams made 52 not out by free and vigorous cricket, and the old veteran, B. Hoddinott, must be congratulated on his two not out innings. In the second innings he was in for 20 minutes making his runs, and helped W. Williams to keep up the wickets tiil time was called. A most en- joyable match was followed up by a dinner and a social evening at the Wenvoe Arms. Score :— BARRY BLOSSOMS. First Innings. Second Innings. W. WILLIAMS, C AND B BRAIN 0 NOT OUT 52 W. M.
