The Chairman then invited the electors to ask any of the candidates any questions they wished, and in reply to motor, Mr. Price, one of the deputation appointed to see Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P., with regard to the Cilsamvs Mountain, explained the action he had taken, which appeared to give satis- faction. In accordance, with Jaw, five minutes were allowed any of the candidates to withdraw, and before the expiration of the given time Edward Lewis (Xo. 11), and William Williams (No. 28) withdrew their candidature. A considerable time was then taken up in counting votes by dlOw of hands, the proceedings lieing more than once interrupted with cnes of Let's go to the poll," "Let's have it fair and square," the Chairman remarking that the votes must be taken first. After the counting of the votes, the result was made known as follows :-1, William Hughes 2, D. W. Davies; 3, Richard Price, Abermorlais: 4, Matthew Owen 5, John Rogers; 6, Watkin Meredith 7, James Parry 9, John Morris 9, David Williams; 10, W. B. Griffiths; Rev. W. Silvanus: 12, Rev. Thomas Salathiel; 13, Watkin Williams; 14, Jos. Llewelyn; 15, Thomas Morris. Messrs. Lewis Harris and Richard Pond then demanded a poll, and it was accordingly decided to allow the election to be fought in the usual way. The 26 candidates will therefore go to the poll. Sin,—I dare say your reporter will give a detailed account of the above meeting held on Monday night. I wish, however, to express my regret at the action of these persons who have invoh cd the parish in an expensive and unnecessary election. It is more than probable that the constitution of the next Parish 't Conneil would have been amicably settled except for the unwise interference of three persons who must be held responsible for this extra burden. And who are these ? Cefn people are well aware that rates, bo they light or be they heavy, are of very secondary consideration with them. Of Mr. Lewis Harries and Mr. Joseph Llewelyn, who were loud in their demands for a poll, I ask how much of this unnecessary expense will devolve upon them ? Mighty little. Mr. Llewelyn, as a member of the School Board, ought to know that the rates of the parish are already exorbitantly high, owing mainly to the heavy precepts issued by the Board, and yet he has the effrontery to demand a poll, in order to satisfy the whim of a few irresponsible persons whom he thinks he lepreKeits. Ratepayers of Vaynor Will you allow yourselves to be led by the no<e by tactics of this sort ? Show your strong disapproval of such methods by bidding these would-be candidates turn- about-face. The laIJt Council was a splendid one. Are the new candidates proposed at the meeting superior to the old members ? I trow not. 1 tm: t, therefore, that the old members? will be triumphantly returned.—Yours, &u., BKTCHAN.

DIED IN THE TRAIN. On Saturday afternoon (writes our Treliarris cores- pondent), an old gentleman arrived at Quakers' Yard Junction Station, with the4.30 o'clock up Taff, appar- ently in adyin< £ condition. He was conveyed from the train to a waiting-room, hut expired in a few minutes afterwards. He had a railway ticket from Llwynypia to Quakers' Yard in his possession, and it was thought by this fact that his destination must be Treharris. Enquiries were made, wiÍh the result that the body was conveyed to the house of Mrs. Davies, 5, l'enii- street, his married daughter.—On Monday evening an inquest was held on the body at the Police-station, before Mr. R. J. Rhys, coronwr, when it transpired that deceased was Mr. James Lewis, a colliery labourer, of Tonypandy, Rhondda. A son of deceased said his father was 76 years of age, and latterly he suffered from fits. He was taken ill at Pontypridd, and must have been dying on his way up. He had always enjoyed good health up to a month ago.-After hearing the medical and other evidence, the jury, of whom Mr. Edwards. Fernhill, was fore- man, returned a verdict of Death from natural causes."

A bill was sent to the defendant for the house; defendant wrote saying she had not ordered the article, and was therefore not liable however, as the house had been made and senc, she would endeavour to get the Board to pay for it. This had been done, but the Board refused to pay. Ul- timately the defendant returned the houxe, and it was now at the Great Western Station. Dowlais. The key had been sent by post, but plaintiff returned it. -Cross-examined by Mr. Kenshole He had not had any direct communication with the defendant. The order came tbrougli his sister.

Witness said her brother was a cariienter, and would make one for her. The model was made and sent, and it re- mained in the school for nine months. Defendant never disapproved of the model. — Cross-examined by Mr. Kenshole Defendant, in the conversation with witness, had not mentioned any price or design.— —John Williams, builder, Castle-street, Merthyr, aid, he\liad seen the model, and valued it at £ 5 7s. 5d. —Mrs. Williams said she had had a conversation with heraMistant, Mrs. Rosewarne, about getting a dolls' house for the school. She had not asked Ml*. Rose- warne if she knew of anyone who could make a dolls' house. Mrs. Rosewarne said her brother would make one for the school. The house came, and soon after a. bill followed. Witness showed the bill to Mrs. Rosewarne, and asked what it meant. Mrs. Rosewarne replied that the did not think the amount would have been so much. Witness said she did not think any charge would have been made. She suggested the Board might pay because plaintiff hud gone to the trouble of making the model. Mrs. Rjsewarne, as an assistant-teacher at the school, was naturally interested in the progress of the school, and witness thought the model was a gift from her assistant's brother to the school.- Thomas Roderick, builder, Aberdare, valued the model at £2 10s.
