FIREMAN'S TERRIBLE STORY. The fireman of the express engine, in con- versation with our representative on Tues-: day, described the accident as "awful in the extreme." "The scene," he said, "will remain in my memory to my dying day." The fireman is a young man of about 30 years of age, and he appeared to be severely shaken. He possesses, however, a nerve of iron, as was shown by his presence of mind when he and the driver realised what had happened. They immediately opened the! ttafety valve to prevent any mischief with the boilers, and raked out the fire. They then devoted themselves to the work of rendering assistance in relief of the injured passengers, Asked for an explanation of the accident, he replied that to him it was a complete mystery. The only solution that suggested itself to him was that the pilot engine was lifted off the metals. The pilot engine twisted round, and he saw the unfortunate driver thrown right across the way of the express engine, the wheels of which passed across his chest, cutting him in two.

SET EIGHT FRACTURED LIMBS. Mr. Harry Watkins, 146, Brixton-road, Lon- j don, formerly assistant to Dr. R. G. Price, Carmarthen, was in the fourth carriage of the train with his wife and her cousin, on their way to London. After seeing to their eafety, he took off his coat and set to work. No fewer than eight fractured legs and a fractured arm were roughly set by him, and be bandaged four heads: One good womall readily grave up her petticoat for strips. The first fractured leg put up was that of the Bev. A. Fuller Mills, the English Baptist minister of Carmarthen. Strange to say, Mr. Mills (being covered with dust and grimo) was not recognised by Mr. Watkins. One poor man with a broken leg said, "Don't worry about me, but attend to others."
THE DEAD DRIVER'S FEARS.

THE DEAD DRIVER'S FEARS. • John Lloyd, the unfortunate driver of the leading engine, was the husband of Mrs. Elizabeth Lloyd, daughter of Mr. Samuel Hughes, an employe of Dr. Bowen Jones, Car- marthen. Until recently he and his wife lived at Pensarn, near Carmarthen, but they removed to Llanelly a little time ago, because he had. been put on special duty in that town, one part of his work being to drive the express banker engine occasion- ally. On Monday Mrs. Lloyd was on a visit to Carmarthen, and after leaving, hearing that a railway accident had occurred near Llanelly, she entered into conversation with Mrs. R. D. Brockie, of Guildhall-square, her former mistress. She said that she devoutly wished that the Llanelly job" was over (meaning the driving of the banker engine in front of the express), because her husband had on many occasions told her that he was mortally afraid of being on his engine in front of the express. "I asked him why he was afraid," added the widow, "and he told me on more than one occasion that the express engine and train were too heavy for his engine, which kept bumping horribly as soon as the train attained a decent speed. He also told me continually that he would not mind if his engine were attached just at the beginning of the gradient, but seeing that he had to precede the heavy express engine over a long stretch of level ground the speed became too great for his light engine, and he was constantly longing for another job, as he felt certain that some disastrous mishap would happen ere long." There is no doubt as to the genuineness of this conversation, nor as to the possibility 'I of the widow having misunderstood her ill- fated husband's fear and its cause. It, therefore, confirms the theory that the lead- ing engine jumped the rails owing to the high speed attained, and the heavy pressure behind it. It is very important that it should be ascertained whether Lloyd expressed his fears to other officials of the company.

THE DRIVER OF THE EXPRESS ENGINE. One of our representatives on Tues- day came across John Wallace, New Milford, the driver of the express engine Montreal. He was" suffering from a severe mental strain, and refused to be interviewed. Ultimately, however) he said, "All I can say is that it was to be. We were not going at high speed." As far as bodily injuries are concerned, Mr. Wallace escaped in a miraculous fashion. He has a soar on his face and several small scratches on his hands.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE. Among those who travelled by the express was Mr. M'Bride, who entered the train at Tenby. He had intended going to Swansea. but upon arriving at Llanelly he decided to break his journey there and go on by a later train. He was sitting, in a smoking compart- ment in the forward part of the train which was completely wrecked, and turned over on the embankment, all the occupants of the compartment being severely injured. Mr. M'Bride looks upon his escape as providen- tial.

HOW A NONCONFORMIST MINISTER ESCAPED THE DISASTER. The Rev. B. Lewis, Baptist minister, Salem, Llangefelach, who had been preaching at Groes Coch, Pembroke, joined the ill-fated train on Monday at Clynderwen for Swansea. When it reached Llanelly he observed the Rev. Mr. Watkins, of Penuel, Loughor, on the platform. The latter, after explaining that) he had been preaching at Abercrave the day previous, and had by an error got in :'n express train at Landore. which had taken him through to Llanelly, persuaded Mr. Lewie to leave the train for a chat, and resume his journey with him by the next. Mr. Lewis, who was in the first coach, left the train after some pressure, but now relates the story with tears of joy at his providential escape.

LORD CAWDOR AND HOSPITAL STAFF. The medical and nursing staff at Llanelly Hospital have received with much gratification a very appreciative message from Earl Cawdor, chairman of the Great: Western Railway Company, expressing his warmest thanks for the services which they have rendered in this emergency. This message was conveyed specially to the hos- pital secretary (Mr. D. G. Itees).
SOLDIERS' GOOD WORK.

SOLDIERS' GOOD WORK. Some seven or eight of the soldiers belong- ing to different regiments, who travelled by the train, were among the most heroio workers of a very heroic band. They proved themselves veritable "handy-men." Whether in removing the wreckage from its resting- place upon some poor unfortunate sufferer, i or in conveying the wounded to the special trains for conveyance to the hospitals, they were equally energetic. A Guardsman who had two medals on his breast was very promi- nent among the soldier workers, and another man with four medals worked like a Trojan, indeed did all the gallant members of the Army, one of whose number was among the injured. The splendid services rendered by the soldiers was one of the bright features of a. terribly tragic affair.

NO MONEY FOR TELEGRAMS. Two little girls travelling together to Lon. dou dictated to Mr. Pugh, of the Yspitty Works, a wire to relatives. Desiring to pay for it they searched for their purses, but found they were lost beneath the debris. Miss Churchward, of Pembroke, found her-j self in similar trouble from which, however, she was at once relieved by Mr. Pugh, who despatched the telegrams by special' messengers. A little girl, named Finn, travelling to Cadoxton with her father, escaped injury herself, but her parent was badly hurt, and the grief of the child was heartrending. The farmers, colliers, and cottagers of the neighbourhood treated the strangers with marked kindness.

OPENING OF THE INQUEST. BOARD OF TRADE APPOINT AN ASSESSOR. The inquest was opened at Capel Als Schoolroom, Llanelly, at noon on Tuesday (before Mr. Martin Richards, deputy-coroner). Mr. Richards said they had been called there to ascertain the cause of the deaths of John Lloyd and Owen John Harries. Lloyd was the driver and Harries the fireman of the first engine attached to the mid-day express. There was also, he regretted to say, a third death, but they would not inquire into that then, as the body had not been officially identified. He was sure he was voicing the feelings of the jury as well as of the inhabitants when he said that he regretted this fearful cata3- trophe. His intention that day was! simply to take evidence of identification, and then to adjourn the inquiry to another day. He had also arranged for the jury to visit the scene of the accident, and they would be conveyed to the spot that afternoon by special train. Evidence was then given by Thomas Pugh, 24, Stanley-street, a goods guard in the employ of the Great Western Railway Com- pany, who said that the deceased, John Lloyd, was his wife's brother. He was 27 years of age, and was a driver. He had been a fireman for several years, and about twelve months ago he was promoted to be a driver. A Juror What engine was he driving? Witness: The first engine. A Juror: How do you know? Witness I have been told. The Coroner: I want you to know that I do not intend to go into the accident at all to-day. This witness is here simply to iden- tify the body. Dr. Evan Evans deposed that he was on the scene of the accident about 2.45 p.m. on Monday. He saw the body of Lloyd, which had sustained severe injuries. It was clear he had been run over. Death must have been instantaneous. Harries was conveyed to the hospital, where he died about five p.m. The camse of death was due to severe injuriee to the head. The body of Harries having also been iden- tified, the inquiry was adjourned until the 25th inst. The Coroner also said he had received a telegram from th? Board of Trade, stating that Colonel Yorke would be appointed assessor, and that he would attend the adjourned inquiry. The jury then proceeded to view the scene of the accident. ANOTHER INQUEST OPENED AT LLANELLY. The deputy-coroner (Mr. Martin Richards.' held an inquest on Wednesday at Llanelly touching the death of Oliver Stallard, of Red- hill, Brinston, near Bristol, who was killed in the disastrous railway smash at Llanelly on t Monday. Before opening the inquiry the Deputy-coroner said he was glad to be able to inform the jury that there had not been any further deaths. It occurred to him that an expression of condolence should go from the jury to the relatives of the deceased in their sad bereavement. If it was their wish, he would submit a resolution to them at the conclusion of the inquiry. The first witness called was George Maries, Highbury-parade, Bristol, who said that he had known the deceased for fourteen years, having been an intimate friend of his. The deceased, who was 43 years of age, was a gentleman's servant. A Juror: Had he no relatives? Witness: Yes; his niece is here. Dr. A. C. Davies (Gowerton) deposed that he was called to the Great Western Railway at 1.45 p.m. on the day pi the accident. He went down by special train to the scene of the disaster, and believed he was the first medical man to arrive. He saw the deceased's body lying on a tip, and upon examination he found that death was due to a fracture of the skull. The injury was sustained in the accident. Replying to a juror, Dr. Davies said he re- ceived the first message from the ci.a.lion- master at Gowerton. Police constable Curnow (Gorseinon) de- posed that he arrived on the scene of the accident about 2.5 p.m. There was a crowd of people around the deceased. Witness was told that Stallard was then alive. He died soon afterwards. At this stage Dr. Davies interposed and said: I may add that a man named Hill told me that he was one of those who carried the deceased out of the carriage, and he thought Stallard was dead then. He offered him some- thing to drink, but failed to get him to take anything. The inquiry was then adjourned until the 25th inst.

CONDITION OF THE INJURED Very encouraging reports were to hand on Wednesday morning as to the condition of five out of the nine patients at Swansea Hos- pital. Daws, of Birmingham, and Jonee, of Pentre, are described a? being in a very comfortable condition. Renard, the Frenchman, passed a good night, and Arthur Baker and Bevan are said to be better. Of the other cases, by far the most serious now is that of the man Finn, of Cadoxton- Barry. His condition is still critical. His wife arrived at Swansea Hospital on Tuesday, and stayed the night by the side of her husband. He has not been conscious since mid-day on Tuesday. The injuries to his head are very severe, and his condition is certainly most precarious. On Wednesday night ne was reported slightly better. Private Savage, who, up to the time of his admission, conducted himooU with marvellous fortitude, although suffering terribly, is now suffering from the reaction. All along he insisted on others being attended to before him, and displayed a determination beyond his strength. He insisted on trying to walk into the hospital, but practically collapsed. He is only semi-conscious, and his condition on Wednesday was regarded as worse. Mr \nstey, landlord of the Bird-in-Hand Inn, Morriston, passed a comfortable night, but is still in a bad state. Margaret Thomas, who broke her leg, has not had a good night, and she is described as at present suffering considerably from shock. Dr. Reid, of Tenby, is doing well. Mrs. Margaret Thomas, of Eglwyswrw; Isaac Bryant, Somersetshire; Mr. Joshua Thomas, St. Clears, and Miss Louisa Barr, London, are still in a very critical condition at Llanelly Hospital. Bryant is believed to be dying.

CLEARING THE LINES. REMOVING THE ENGINES AND WRECKAGE. By dint of strenuous labour the break- down gangs managed to get the down-line clear early on Tuesday afternoon, and the first train to pass over it was the 3.30 up- train from Llanelly. At an early hour on Tuesday morning the banker engine was shifted from its position athwart the down- line and hurled bodily over the embankment, there to find a resting-place with the second coach of the ill-fated train. This engine, now a mass of twisted and torn metal, was built at Swindon in 1889. The express engine was found not to be very severely damaged, and was lifted by means of derricks on to the rails, and then taken by another engine to Loughor. After undergoing repairs the engine will again be serviceable. It is remarkable that, while the express locomotive escaped with such comparatively insignificant injuries, its tender, like the banker engine, was a complete wreck. Having removed the two engines, the workers' efforts were next directed towards re-laying some 120 yards of the down-line. Entirely new rails and sleepers had to be fixed, and, of course, this in itself was no light task. However, the work was well under way by mid-day, and by half-past two in the afternoon it had been completed. A gantry was first =ent over the newly-laid petals to test their safety, and after- wards a locomotive and tender passed over them. The officials were now satisfied that the line was ready for service, and it was decided that the Great Western Railway traffic between Llanelly and Gowerton should once again be switched on to the company's own system. instead of travelling on the London and North Western Company's line via Pontar- dulais. The breakdown gangs had still the limine to clear, and it was stated that this could not be accomplisbed until some time to-day (Wednesday). Three huge coaches had to be removed. Attention was first given to the rearmost carriage, which was not very much damaged. It was the intention to raise this on to the rails some time during the night and so remove it, while the other two coaches, smashed beyond repair, were to be cast off the railway embankment to the land lying below. There is no doubt that the work of clearance has been effected with such rapidity as to reflect very great credit on the company's employes, for the task which faced them on Monday night and Tuesday was a. colossal ona.
BURIAL SCANDAL. J-''

BURIAL SCANDAL. DISGRACEFUL STATE OF TWO GRAVEYARDS. A correspondent writes:—Perhaps in no part of the kingdom—I hope in no other part of Wales—is there a more distressing and melancholy sight than that to be seen in the condition of two graveyards lying between Ebbw Vale and Beaufort. I had more than once heard persons who had been that way speak of the disgraceful state of ruin which these two habitations of the dead revealed. A few days ago I had the opportunity of seeing for myself, and I can vouch that the terrible stories which have been told are, alas! all too true. The scene is laid on the outskirts of Ebbw Vale, on the road to Beaufort, not 200 yards away from the county schools, in the opening of which the late Sir William Harcourt, as member for West Monmouth, was a central figure some few years ago. All around there is evidence of progress. Houses of very pretty style, and bearing in some cases extremely patrician and pretentious names, well laid out roads, decorations of houses and shops which show that art has not been an unknown quantity-there is every- where an eye to effect, except in this one spot. Whatever may have been the pre- vaijing conditions half a century ago, the place is clea.rly now in a wrong situation for a graveyard. It is separated from the Lon- don and North Western Railway only by a narrow highway and sleep-er fence. There are two distinct burying places. One—the smaller of the two-has been the necropolis of the English Wesleyans; the other, 150 yards further away, served Nebo Welsh Bap- tist Church. The Wesleyan patch is old, dark, ruinous, abandoned, and utterly deso- late. The gravestones are tottering to an early fall. Some of them are down, some are razed to the ground, and en some of those still standing idle hands have drawn charac- ters in chalk. The whole of the front wall has disappeared, and the place is as a piece of wayside wat:te. There is, however, this distinction between the Wesleyan plot and the other, that so far as one can see, there are no recent or present day burials in the former, and a fairly successful attempt has been made by the erection of a wire fence to keep cattle from straying into it from the big common in the back ground. But in the case of the Nebo ground, neither of these palliating cir- cumstances prevail. There is no desire or idea of setting up one sect against another, or of showing up both in an unfavourable light. It is a question of public decency of the commonest regard for the feelings of the living and -of respect for the dead. Neither denomination has a clrurch on the spot at present—and, probably, that has a good deal to do with the discreditable abandonment which has been allowed to take place. Both churches are now removed to better sites. Where Nebo Chapel formerly stood there now stand four cottages, and five to twenty yards further along is the Beaufort Arms Inn. From both the back and the front the Nebo graveyard is open to every form of trespass. In the front the gateway is sateless and broken; at the back there is nothing to keep cattle, sheep, pigs, and mountain ponies on the land immediately adjoining from browsing and burrowing amongst the tombs, or fowls from nesting in hollows that they have scooped in the graves. The boundary wall is a ruin. Desolation reigns supreme. Old rags, old iron and wire, tin utensils, and stones are strewn about, two or three hollows which look like former graves near the gateway are used as receptacles for ashes and other house refuse; many of the graves are over- grown with thistles, and a considerable pro- portion of the tombstones are bowing their heads, and their inscriptions are quite obli- terated. But worst of all is the knowledge that pigs are permitted to burrow into the graves. The capers of mountain ponies and the hunt for a stray football kicked into the place by boys from the adjoining land might seem a passing and regrettable incident; but the thought of pigs digging the mold away from the places where relatives and friends have been interred, must be very bitter to those possessed of any feelings at an. Inter- ments are still taking place at Nebo, and there are some very imposing and handsome monuments of comparatively recent erection -say, within the last dozen years or so. But the spoliation of some of the older ones is simply heart-breaking to friends of the dead. In one case I noticed that the brickwork supporting a horizontal monu- mental stone slab had been knocked in at one end. and there was underneath the slan a comfortable place for a litter of small pigs or two or three brood of chickens. One of the most imposing monuments was a quite heavy and massive pile of granite enclosed in iron railings, bearing an inscription showing that it was erected from the pro- ceeds of the Newport Eisteddfod of 1873 to the memory of the Rev. John Emlyn Jones, M.A., LL.D., who was born January 8, 18-0, at Newcastle Emlyn, and died January t3, 1875, at Ebbw Vale. He was minister of Nebo Church. His own tomb has not as yet been damaged to anything like the extent that many of those round about it have been damaged, though the iron rails are loose and very much rust-eaten, and several of them are missing. Can the Eisteddfod do nothing in a case like this? Whilst I was in the graveya.rd a few days ago I was accosted by an elderly lady who was in deep distress because she could not find the grave of her father. She had migrated from the district to America, and had now come back to her native soil after forty years' absence to re-establish her health by change of scene and air. The change," she told me, has done me a great deal of good, and I have put off the visit to this place to the last because I did not want it to upset me. My father and my grandfather were buried here, but I cannot find their graves. I have never seen such a place as this in my life. We would never allow this in America, and what I have seen this day has undone a great deal of the good that I have received by my visit here!" Her despair at not being able to find the graves of her father and grandfather and her lament as to the state of the whole place were quite heart-touching, Cannot something be done for decency's sake either to improve the place or wipe out the eyesore? Everybody is agreed that it is in a most deplorably abandoned and un- sightly condition.

Dyma ddirgelwcih y ffaittti ryfedd fod Cymru wedi llwyddo i gadw ei hunan- iaeth a'i phobpeth cenedlaethol pan y mae rhai o'r Ymerodraethau cryiaf a welodd y byd erioed wedi mynd yn chwil- friw a'u gorsedd<feinciau yn deilchion a'u hiaitih a'i llenyddiaeth wedi dihoeni a marw er's canrifoedd lawer. Am nad yw'n dibynu ar alluoedd dynol, megys byddin na llynges, ond ar ei chrefydd a'i Duw, y mae Cymru yn nebhreu'r ugein- fed ganrif yn fwy byw a llwyddiannus nag y bu yn un cyfnod o'i hanes ac yn gwyneibu y dyfodol mewn ffydd y bydd yr un mor alluog i orchfygu pob gelyn a ddygwydd ddod i'w chyfarfod i roddi rhwys.tr ar ei cherddediad yn mlaen.

GALL BREINTIAU DROI YN FELLDITH. Ond y mae'n bosibl i'r breintiau hyny droi yn fwy o felldicli i ni nac o fendith, ac y mae llawer o garcdigion ein cenedi yn ofni mai hyn fydd canlyniad y man- teision addysg sydd wedi eu gosod yn ei gafael. Fel hyn y dywed un o'r cyhoedd- iadau crefyddol— Y Lladmerydd"—am y mis hwn :—"Yn ddiau, y nesaf petii at grefydd yw addysg; a dvlai fod yn ilaw- forwyn i grefydd. G or mod o ganmol- iaetih ni ellir roddi i addysg, ac ni ellir rheddi gormod pwys ar ymdrech i'w meddu. Eithr rhaid coflo nad iav.u gwneud hyny ar draul esgeuluso crefydd. Addysg wedi ei nawseiddio gan grefydd yw yr addysg uchaf allan. Pan ymroddir i addysg heb dalu sylw i grefydd, ei thuedd yw sychu y galan, ac arwain i amheuaeth. Mewn oes.au a gwledydd y bydd addysg yn tynu holi fryd y bobl a crefydd yn is-el a aiiyfyd anffyddiaeth yn uohel. Eir i gredu mai addysg yw y peth uchaf, anrhydeddusaf, a gwerfchfawrocaf; ac oblegid hyny, riiaid i grefydd gymeryd lIe ail raddol. Paied ffrwd siaradaeth y bobl i'r cyfeirad yma, a deil rhieni addysg yn gyson o flaen eu plant. Par hyn i'r plant feddwl nad oes dim fel addysg. 0 herwydd hyn, gwneir yr hyn sydd daa ynddo ei hunan yn ddrwg. Beth bynag fyddo y pwys roddir i addysg, dylid cadw o Has meddyliau y plant max crefydd yw y petch penaf. Mantais anhraethol yw addysg i grefydd pan gedwir hi yn ei lie. Yr ysgolheigion mwyaf sydd wodi cyf- oethogi llenyddiaeth crefydd, ac wedi ei hamddiffyn gadarnaf o neb. Ar y llaw arall, ysgolheigion annuwdol yw y ge-lyn- i)on mwyaf i gretfydd ar hyd yr oesau.

Gofynol yw i rieni plant Cymru ofalu yn y cyfwmg presenol ar fod eu plant yn oael pob mantais grefyddol sydd o hyd cyrhaedd, oblegid fod syniadau addysgol yn llawn yr awyr. Llanwer pob bwthyn ag addysg, ond gofaler fod crefydd yn llanw y tai yn ogystal. Heb hyn gwneir Cymru yn nythle pob cyieiiiornad a pheahod.

SCHOOL TEACHERS .0 DEPUTATION TO MR. LLOYD- GEORGE. A deputation from the Glamorgan Federa- tion of Teachers, National Union of Teachers, waited upon Mr. Lloyd-George at the residence of Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P., at Cardiff on Wednesday morning to obtain from him some assurance as to the position in which teachers would be placed by the carrying out of his policy of revolt against the Defaulting Authorities (Education) Act. The deputation consisted of Messrs. T. T. Jenkins (president), J. Lewis (vice-president), E. C. Willmott (hon. secretary), p„nd Eees Nicholas (a, member of the executive committee of the National Union of Teachers). The deputation first inquired in what posi- tion teachers would find themselves if they were deprived of their posts through the closing of schools in pursuance of Mr. Lloyd- George's policy. It was pointed out that they would be practically called out on a strike which was none of their own making. Mr. Lloyd-George, in reply, gave them, we understand, an absolute guarantee that no teacher would be allowed to suffer under these circumstances. He said he had vei-y carefully considered this phase of the ques- tion. A fund would be available from which teachers would be paid their salaries, although he admitted he could not guarantee that they would receive the full amount. At present, however, there were only three counties in which the Defaulting Authorities Act could come into force, and he believed that if the movement were confined to those counties the teachers would be able to receive their salaries in full. There was no immediate prospect. Mr. Lloyd-George continued, of any of the teachers being thrown out of employment, nor of their salaries being reduced. He reminded the -deputation that unless the Board of Educa- tion went out of its way to seek trouble the whole of Wales could not be declared in default -for- at least six months to come, because, with the exceptions he had alluded to. they had all kept within the law. One member of the deputation insisted upon obtaining a reply on the assumption that the worst did happen. To this Mr Lloyd-George replied that the Government could not possibly last longer than eighteen months, and fo," that time the emergency committee could Keep the emer- gency schools going, and pay the salaries, and the teachers should not starve in the raeanwhile. ^Mr. Lloyd-Geore did not make it clear to the deputation from what sonrce the fund for the support of the emergency schools would be forthcoming. Neither could he say what proportion of the teachers from the schools which would be closed would be givsn employment in temporary schools. That, he said, would depend to a large extent on the amount of accommodation available for such schools. Mr. Lloyd-George was also asked about the re-engagecient of the teachers who might receive notice under the scheme. He replied that it would be a point of honour with the I Welsh councils to re-engage every man. But he considered this point outside the area of reasonable discussion. Mr. Rhys Nicholas inquired if Mr. Lloyd- George could guarantee that all the teachers should be compensated within the limits of his resources. To this Mr. Lloyd-George dissented. But his own opinion, he said, was that there would be no deficiencies. If a strike, a.s he called it, were declared for the whole of Wales to-morrow the resources of the campaign would, he considered, be ade- quate to prevent anything like real suffer- ing amongst the teachers. The next point had regard to voluntary schools which might be handed over to the councils, the deputation pointing oat that there was no guarantee that when the schools were taken over their teaching staffs would be taken with them. How was the position of the teacher to be safeguarded? To this the reply was thew. there was such a dearth of teachers all over the country that the councils would be able to give the teachers in such schools positions of equiva- lent value. It was then inquired whether the fact that a teacher had been engaged in a voluntary school and had been an active Church worker would prejudice his position in the eyes of the managers. Mr. Lloyd-George replied that the great objection of himself and his supporters to one-man management was that teachers were foroed into such work. He was emphatic in declaring that. the councils could not, under any circumstances, as honourable men take | into consideration on the questi-on of employ- ing a teacher whether he had worked in a. voluntary school or not. Such considerations would not be allowed to interfere with a teacher's appointment. Some conversation also took place on the subject of the demands for structural improvements made upon voluntary schools. It was suggested that the demands were too extensive. Mr. Lloyd-George replied that upon this point of excessive demands he mo",t feared the coming into operation of the Defaulting Authorities Act. That was to say, he was afraid the Act would be put into operation not because the councils were breaking the law, but because they were carrying out one of the best features of the Education Act. He was afraid the Board of Education would break the law. The next question dealt with the nationali- sation of the schools. It was pointed out by the deputation that if too schools throughout Wales became nationalised in many of the smaller towns where two schools existed one would be regarded as unnecessary, and would be closed. What would be the position of the teachers in that school? Mr. Lloyd-George believed that in every such town the councils would provide the teachers with posts equal in value to those which they had to leave. This would become possible on account of the great dearth of teachers, and on this matter he anticipated no difficulty at all. It was suggested that If Mr. Lloyd-George's policy of closing the schools remained in force for any length of time the consequence would be that many Welsh teachers would seek appointments in other parts of the kingdom. Thus Wales would be denuded of its teachers to an appreciable extent, and when at last a final settlement arrived there would 9. be great difficulty in staffing the I schools. Mr. Lloyd-George admitted that a dimculty lay here which must be faced, but suggested no way out of it. After the deputation had apparently exhausted their questions, Mr. Lloyd-George turned questioner. Would Church parents be satisfied, he asked, if facilities for religious instruction were given outside school hours? Certainly, replied one of the deputation, and it was also stated that the introduction of classes for the teaching of denominational religion inside school hours would be injurious. This concluded the discussion, and Mr. Jenkins, on behalf of the deputation, expressed their satisfaction with Mr. Lloyd- George's replies that his policy would not involve loss upon them. Mr. Lloyd-George, in reply, said he was glad of the opportunity of removing their misapprehensions. A prominent teacher who was present expressed to us the opinion that Mr. Lloyd- George's assurances were very satisfactory, but he doubted whether they could be carried into effect.

DANGER OF ALIEN SEAMEN, GRAVE STATEMENT AT THE BRIX- HAM INQUEST. The inquest was resumed at Brixham on Monday concerning the death of Samuel W. Tucker, second hand of the smack Lyra, which sank after collision with the steamer Heathbank off Start Point last Tuesday. The captain, mate, and two sailors of the Heath- bank, were present from Cardiff. Julius Muller, of Germany, certificated master mariner under the Board of Trade, deposed that he was in command of the Heathbank. On this occasion the mate, George Bernard, was in charge. A boat with three men was despatched to look for bodies, and that of Tucker was recovered. He could not say whether the chief officer was on the bridge. He had never given the mate orders to leave the bridge. He declined to answer a question whether he told Mr. Moxey that the chief officer had left the bridge. George Hilton Bernard, of Barry, holder of a master mariner's certificate, said that he was chief officer of the Heathbank. He saw the fishing-boat on the port bow about two- and-a-half points, apparently stationary. He thought they would clear her. He told the crew what to do from the bridge, but they were foreigners, and did not understand, so he went down to the deck. He then saw the sails of the fishing-vessel nearly ahead. He rushed to the bridge, but before he reached it they struck the boat. There was no man on the look-out. He thought the man at the wheel altered the course, and so caused the accident. He did not think there was any blame on the part of the fishing smack. The jury oould not say who was directly responsible for the collision, but they were of opinion that the captain, mate, and the man at the wheel were guilty of a. very grave relaxation of duty.

CONTINUATION FROM PAGE 7. Bofse of smashing glass and the breaking tip of coaches I could hear the crie3 of the wounded and the groans of the dying. On one side of the line I saw a carriage, with its wheels wrenched off, lying on its ventilators; and on the other side a carriage in a field, entangled with telegraph poles and wires. All this was the impression of a second. I set toO work at once to get my fellow- passengers out and to a place of safety, and then went to render what aid I could to the injured. "The first thing I did was to try and get' a man from under a carriage, but I saw that he wae past all help, and I then turned to those who were calling out in their agony. And then I saw a terrible sight-a man's decapitated body below an engine, and the head lying at somo distance. I have only indistinct memories of 8hockingly injured men and women, broken limbs, bleeding foreheads, heartrending cries, I set to work first to arrange seat cushions, on which I had as many of the injured placed as possible, and then I rendered what first aid I could. Others worked harder than I did—doctors, nurses, and soldiers."
