THE UNITED DISTRICT BURIAL BOARD. » ■ TIJIST MEETING OF THE NEW BOARD. The first meeting of the new Board was held at the Clerk's'Offices on Tuesday night. There were present Mr. Wm. Thomas, Canon Allen, Mr. John Rees, Mr. Copp. Mr. -W. Adams, Mr. H. L. Jones, Mr.' Phillipa, Mr. Gilead Brock, Mr. B. G. Davies, -Mr. E. F. Blackmore, Mr. James Jones, Mr. Arthur 'Hughes (clerk), and Mr. Williams (archi- tect).—Mr. John Rees was elected Chairman 'pro tew., on the motion of Mr. Copp, seconded by Mr. Blackmore. THE CHAIRMAN. Mr. Rees said there was a little discussion 12 months ago as to the advisability of electing old members to the chairmanship. If he recollected aright, there was a discussion, and it was felt, although not expressed in words, that senior mem- bers should take precedence. Mr. Copp had great pleasure in proposing that Mr. William "Thomas be elected chairman. Mr. Davies said, as last year he moved the rejec- tion of Mr. Thomas, he had great pleasure this year in seconding the resolution. His action last year was not from any ill-feeling, but for other reasons. Mr. Adams begged to propose that Canon Allen should be elected chairman. Canon Allen declined to a'low himself to be nominated, but thanked Mr. Adams for his kind- QèSs. On being put to the meeting, the proposition was carried unanimously. Mr. Thomas, in taking the chair, said he felt extremely obliged to them for the honour they had -done,him in electing him chairman of the Board for th;) ensuing year. He trusted that he might leave the chair as his predecessor had, who had Carried out his duties well. He felt it more of a pleasure, especially as they had elected him with- out.opposition or discussion,on the matter. THE NEW MEMBERS. The Clerlt reported the result of the recent elections as follows :—Barry Parish, Mr. W. Adams; Merthyrdovan, Mr. Frank Burgess and Mr. James Jones and Cadoxton, Mr. H. L. Jones and Mr. Wm. Thomas. YTHE CLERK'S MONTHLY REPORT. The Clerk's monthly statement was read. There were 11 burials during the month. Total amount received in fees, £ 9 2s. 6d. total amount expended, £ 9 15s. lOd. Bills were examined and cheques signed for the following sums :—Mr. Thomas Evans, 13s. 7d.; Mr. Burbidge, clerk of the works. four weeks' salary, £10 Os. Od. and Mr, Frank Small, contractor, as per architect's certificate, 29125. MR. SPICKETT AND THJEiBOAjED. A bill was read from Mr. Spickett, undertaker, for £1. extra expenses which he was put to in con- nection with the interment of the child of George Squires. (Laughter.) The Clerk said Mr. Spickett came ;to his office, and his clerks issformed him that if he liked to have the burial that afternoon he could do so by waiting a couple of hours. Mr. Spickett distinctly stated that he preferred to have it on the Sunday. If he had wished to have it on the Saturday after- noon by waiting a couple of hours he eould have done so. As they would recollect, the affair was brought on at the last meeting, when Mr. Spickett attended and preferred his complaint. lihe Chairman th&ught they would create a very bad precedent by allowing that bill. Mr. Rees It was equally hurtful to the feelings ofrtbe parents of the child. They should try tcl .sift-the matter. The Clerk said he had written to the caretaker asking :fejm to send down tAte envelope which had been .sent to him containing the order. The care- taker had, however, brought it down to the last meeting himself. Mr. Spicke&t seemed somewhat antagonistie to him, and ha4 preferred several charges against him on several occasions, but, to the best of hk knowledge, had aasn unable to sub- stantiate one them. A discussion ihen ensued, and finally Mr. Davies moved that the hill be passed. Mr. Adams seconded. Mr. Brock—Mr. Spickett has been put to a little extra expense. Mr. Davies—That may be. That is his mis- fortune, noto,ur faults, The motion was carried. Cheques were also signed for £10 for Mr. Richard Thomas Mr. J. A. Hughes, petty cash, £1 10s., and quarter's salary, £ 8 15s. The clerk's and caretaker's petty cash rbooks were examined. APPOINTMENT OF VISITING COMMITTEE. Messrs. Copp, Adams, Brock, and Blackmore were elected as visiting committee. APPOINTMENT OF ASSISTANT CARETAKER. The caretaker wrote stating that Sidney Heskett had left on the 25th February, and that he had ap- pointed another assistant caretaker in Heskett's stead. The caretaker's action was confirmed. THE COMPLETION OF THE CEMETERY CHAPEL. The architect, Mr. Williams, reported that the chapel was nearly completed, but that it would not be ready for opening on Palm Sunday. It would be ready about a fortnight afterwards. A discussion ensued, and on the suggestion of the Clerk it was decided to ask the Ministers' Fraternal Union to prepare a. short conse- cration service to be used at the open- ing of the chapel in the presence of the Board on a date to be fixed by the Visiting Committee. As the chapel would not require a. Clerk of the Works much longer, it was decided on the motion of Mr. Davies, seconded by Mr. Phillips, that he be given a fortnight's notice. THE REGISTRAR'S FEES. Mr. Rees, in accordance with notice of motion, proposed that the Registrar's fees- be abolished. He thought that if the people purchased grave spaces at £ 2 no further charge should be made. People had now, after buying the land to pay 53. for exclusive right to bury, and 2s. 6d. for a brick grave, making the sum £2 7s. 6d. there was then the registrar's fees for searching the register and granting certificates. He thought that they might very well dispense with these registrar's fees, which came rather heavy upon poor people, and which they could not very well afford to pay. Two pounds was an ample sum of money to pay for a grave. It was like going to a grocer's shop and buying a quantity of goods, and then paying 5s. for a reoeipt for the payment of the bill. The Clerk was in receipt of A35 a year, which was sufficient remuneration for the Board to pay, as the meetings were only held monthly. He begged to move that the registrar's fees be abolished. Mr. Blackmore asked if the fees were customary; were the Board standing practically alone, or simply following the usual custom ? The Clerk did not know of any Burial Board in the kingdom without registrar's fees. Mr. Rees said he preferred:standing on his own footing. It made no diffuence to them what other Boards did. The Chairman said he believed they could not alter this without sanction from some other body ? The Clerk said they must get the sanction of the Home Office. The Clerk reminded the Board that the regis- trar's duties were independent of those of the clerk. The registrar's fees had only amounted to £ 6 or £ 7 during the whole of the time the Board had been established. Everybody had to pay these fees after the purchase of the graves, and poor men did not purahase spaces. It was un- desirable that people should purchase grave spaces. They were not quite aware of all his duties. Some time since he made an application for an increase, as he considered himself that £áO a year was only a fair salary. He had constantly to keep a clerk at his office to give orders for burials, if required, besides keeping about six books which the law insisted upon his keeping. He should like a small committee to be formed to go into the matter. As a matter of fact in several cases only part of the registrar's fee3 had been charged, and the registers had been searohed for several individuals free of charge. Mr. Davies proposed- as an amendment that the matter be deferred. Mr. Phillips seconded, and the amendment was parried. ) THE VISITING COMMITTEE. The Visiting Committee's report was read, and in it they recommend that Mr. LI. W. Jones's offer of a piece of land at £ 125 per acre be accepted, and that a wall be built around the care- taker's garden. Mr. Brock objected to receive the report, which was illegal, as the Visiting Committee had not re- ported, and the so-called Visiting Committee was not appointed by the Board. It was decided to refer the matter back to the next meeting of the-Visiting Committee. HEADSTONES. A plan of a. proposed tombstone with the inscription was passed. Mr. Copp asked the clerk whether a person would be allowed to place a headstone above a grave'which he had not purchased. The Clerk-Yes, but the Board could removed it after 10 years.

THE FALL OVER THE CLIFF AT PENARTH. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF A GENTLEMAN. On Thursday evening a most singular accident occurred at the Cliffs near Penarth. to Mr. E. B. Howard, of 30, Richmond-road, Cardiff. HOW MT HAPPENED. It appears that early in the evening, accom- panied by a. young lady (Miss Adams), he proceeded by train to Lavernock. The young couple walked back aloug the seashore at the top of the cliff towards Penarth, Mr. Howard taking the right side of his companion, and continuing thus some distance beyond Lavernock Point. The cliff here is of a very perpendicular and precipitous char- acter. It rises from about 20 feet at the Point to some 100 feet at the Battery. The soil is for the most part of a loamy, uncertain nature, and the risk of falling is considerably increased by the occurrence, every now and again, of fissures. Over these latter there are occasionally placed wooden crossings, and various stiles at intervals form passages from one field to the next. The weather was very fine on Thursday evening, but a stiff breeze was blowing, and the night was very dark. It was about eight o'clock when the lady and gentleman reached a point on the cliff where they were between 50ft. and 60ft. above the sea beach. All at once Mr. Howard missed his footing and disappeared down the cliff. Miss Adams was naturally alarmed but, maintaining her self- possession, she looked over and called out. Mr. Howard, who, fortunately, it appeared, had not lost consciousness, replied, It's all right; go for assistance." A PLUCKY LADY. Although a stranger to the neighbourhood, the lady at once cast about for assistance, and not being very far from Lavernock Farm, proceeded thither for help. Mr. David Williams, the occu- pier, at once accompanied her to the scene of the accident, and, having found out the condition of ¡ affairs, he at once dispatched a messenger for Dr. Aitken, of Penarth. In the meantime the victim of the accident was lying at the foot of the cliff in a very serious con- dition, and so severely injured was he that it was found impossible to move him in the least. News of the accident, however, got to the Battery at Lavernock, where a few men connected with the Worcester and District Establishment Royal Artillery are stationed, and at once Gunner Tobin, accompanied by Gunners Patterson and Reid, went to lend what aid they could. Of course it took some time for the medical man to arrive, but when he got to the spot he made a cursory ex- amination ef the unfortunate sufferer, finding he had sustained fractures of the left thigh and right leg, while he had COMPLETELY LOST THE SIGHT OF THE LEFT EYE. Extreme difficulty was experienced in removing him from the position into which he had been pre- cipitated. Every effort, either on the part of him- self—for he remained stout of spirit throughout— or of his attendants, occasioned him excessive pain; and as a consequence it was fully an hour before he eould be shifted to the top of the cliff. This he could be shifted to the top of the cliff. This was done by placing a blanket under him and then raising him on to a gate, which was procured from an adjacent field. In this work Dr. Aitken was assisted by Mr. W. H. Renwick, who, by the bye, is the possessor of a certificate for proficiency in the Art of First Aid the three soldiers from the battery, and the cabman who had brought up the doctor. Although all six worked with a will, it was as much as they could do to get the injured man to the top of the cliff, he being a person of powerful physique and weighing about 14 stone. After much difficulty, however, he was conveyed to the Lavernock Farm, kindly placed at the dis- posal by Mr. Williams, and Dr. Aitken set the fractured limbs and attended to his other less serious injuries. But the eye he left to the care of Dr. Thompson, oculist, of Cardiff, who found it necessary to excise the organ. A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE. It would seem that during the course of his fall over the cliff Mr. Howard had struck against a pro- jection with his head, and the blow comiug imme- diately at the side of his eye had forced it out. The courageous conduct of Miss Adams is to be much commended. She remained in constant attendance upon her unfortunate companion. A most remarkable part of the occurrence is the great lack of prostration shown by Mr. Howard, and Dr. Aitken is of opinion that, owing to his strong constitution and perfect physique, he will, in the course of a few weeks, be in a perfect state of convalescence.

ST. DAVID'S LODGE, I.O.G.T. THE DIRECT VETO BILL. At the annual weekly session of the St. David's Lodge, I.O.G.T., held in the Shaftesbury j Temperance Hotel, Bro. W. W. Fookes occupied the chair. A great deal of business was tran- sacted, and the following resolution unanimously passed That this meeting of the St. David's Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars heartily approve of the principal of the Direct Veto Bill, recently introduced by Sir William Harcourt, and urges upon the Government the desirability of passing the measure as speedily as possible. It also earnestly requests Mr. Arthur J. Williams to support the measure on its second reading. That a copy of this resolu- be forwarded to Mr. Gladstone, Sir William Harcourt, the member for South Glamorgan, and the Press. In consequence of the large amount of business dealt with the programme had to be curtailed. The following members contributed to the even- ings enjoyment, viz., humorous reading, Bro. Tucker; solos, Sisters Smith and A. Jenkins. The Lodge was closed ia due form by the Chief Templar at about 10 o'clock. On Thursday, March 30th, it is intended to hold an open session, when a good programme will be provided. All are welcome.

AT PONTYPRIDD. FIRE. On Tuesday afternoon a fire broke out at the chain works of Messrs. Brown, Lenox, and Co.. Pontypridd. It appears that owing to the great heat in one of the chimneys running through the roof of the smelting workshop the woodwork sup- porting the roof, and running back to the chimney, caught fire, and considerable damago was done. Superintendent Jones and a number of constables, together with Captain W. Jones and the fire brigade, were soon on the spot, and the fiery elements was soon mastered.

'Nawr, y mae yn eglur nad oedd Iago Geler yn ystafell y Bwrdd y noson hono, neu buasai yn gwybod nad oedd yr oil o'r aelodau yn teilyngu canmoliaeth am yr hyn wnawd ar y mater yma. Gwnaeth dau o honynt eu goreu i chwilio allan bob peth allent feddwl am dano fel esgus i dreio rhwystro i basio y penderfyniad; ond rhaid cyfaddef mai Cymro oedd yr hwn a wnaeth fwyaf yn y cyffiriad yma. Yr oedd y Cadben a'r Cadeirydd yn deall eu gilydd yn dda iawn o'r dechreu, er fod pawb eraill we li siarad yn gryf ac eglur o blaid y mudhd-yn Saeson, Gwyddelod, Y ggotiaid, a Chymry, a'r v. r oedcem yn dysgwyl fwyaf oddiwrtho ar y mater hwn oedd yr un wnaeth fwyaf yn ei erbyn. Tebyg iawn y cofir am hyn amser yr etholiad nesaf, ac cs na fydd iddo edifarliau mewn sach-liain a lludw, a dyblu ei ddiwydrwydd o blaid yr hen Gym- raeg yn y .dyfodoi, nis gall ddisgwyl cael nemawr gymhorth oddiwrth y Cymry hyny sydd yn anwylo yr hen iaith. Ar ba dir, tybed, yr oedd Cadben Davies yn dywedyd nad oedd y Cymry wedi cael mantais i ddangos eu telmladau car y pwno ? Trwy ba gyfryngau 'a y gallasai y Cymry ddangos eu teimlad yn well ac yn gryfach na thrwy Gymdeithas Cymru Fydd a'r cyfar- fod cyhoeddus gynlialiwyd yn Holton ? Hefyd, ai ni phasiwyd penderfyniadau yn y capelau Cymreig ar y pwnc, yn ogystal ag mewn un capel Seisnig? a thebyg awn y caffai y penderfyniad gymhorth unfrydel yn y capel y mae Cadben Davies yn myned iddo pe buasai cyfieusdra yn cael ei roddi iddynt i dda.ngos eu teim- iadau ar y pwnc.

Ond pan yn son am ddysgu Cymraeg i'n plant ein hunain, yn ein gwlad ein hunain, rhaid oedd cael nifer plant y Cymry oedd yn ysgolion, a danfon eylch-lythyrau at y rhieni, &c. Gwagedd i gyd.
