It has been decided to make an appeal for 'con- tributions to a fund for the purpose of perpetuating the memory of Morgan Llwyd o Wynedd, the Welsh Nonconformist Puritan mystic, as a thank- offering for the great religious revival with which Wales has been blessed during the recent months. Mr. Alderman Simon Jones, of Wrexham, has been appointed treasurer to the fund, and the Rev. Peris Williams, of Wrexham, secretary. On Sunday there was a terrible accident at the Brymbo Steelworks, near Wrexham, which resulted in the death of a foreman pitman, named John Jones, thirty-seven years of age.

The efforts to extinguish the fire which followed the disastrous explosion in March last in No. i Pit of the Cambrian Collieries, Clydach Vale, have at length been crowned with success, and it is hoped that a large number of men will again soon find employment in this seam.

The work will be in the market by the middle of the present month. Principal Griffiths, of Cardiff University College, speaking on Saturday, said it was his determination to have in South Wales the leading school of mines in the world. Sir William Thomas Lewis had told him that if the workmen would move the royalty owners would do their share, and the colliery owners had told him the same. He wanted to see not only a great school of mining in South Wales, but a school of research also, which would be the means of increasing the safety and comfort of the men and increasing the profits of the owners. Speaking at Abercynon on Monday, Sir Alfred Thomas said he was fully satisfied with the Premier's assurances on the question of Welsh Disestablish- ment. As to what he would consider a reasonable time for the introduction of such a measure, Sir Alfred said not sooner than the second nor later than the third Session of the new Parliament. In view of the gigantic Government majority he dis- counted the effect of opposition by the House of Lords, Mr. Gladstone having carried Irish Dis- establishment with a smaller majority than Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's. A new English Baptist Chapel was opened on Monday afternoon at Maesycwmmer by the Rev. D. J. Hiley, Bristol. Prayers were offered by the Rev. T.

The inquest was adjournedtill 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning, as there was a lack of necessary evidence. A doubt arose as to whether the man had been knocked down by the engine or had fallen from a carriage. Most of the engines had been examined, but no trace of blood was found on them. Mr. Powell ordered Dr. Jones, of Skewen, to make an examination of the body. MONTGOMERY.

Williams Wynne, the former candidate for the county, for his services to the party, and also to Mr. C. E. Howell and the Misses Howell, of Rhiewport, for their generous donations to the funds of the party. PEMBROKE.
