FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR ABER- DOVEY. A WAGGON PASSING OVER A YOUNG MAN'S BODY. On Friday afternoon a fatal accident occurred between Aberdovey and Towyn. A young man named William Smith, aged 22 years, an agricul- e, I tural labourer, at Morfa, Towyn, and a native of Abergynolwyn, was engaged in carting some timber from Braichcelyn, Aberdovey, to Towyn, and whilst on the way home between the above two towns he fell down, and the fore wheel of the wagon went over his body. At first he appeared not seriously hurt, but soon the effect of the great weight that had gone over his body was apparent, and in less than 36 hours he expired. THE INQUEST Was held on Monday afternoon at the Police Court, before the county coroner (Mr W. R. Davies, solicitor, Dolgelley), when the following gentlemen composed the jury: Messsrs J. Maethlon James, foreman, Samuel Edmunds, John Cadvan Edwards, Francis Jones, Lewis Lewis, Hugh Roberts, Hum- phrey Williams, Lewis Vaughan, O. J. Barnett, John Whittaker, John Parry, H. Pugh, and Edward Humphreys. The first witness called was R. Wynne Thomas, Bryn Llewelyn, labourer, who deposed that he was with William Smith on Friday carting timber from Braichcelyn. They had a wagon with two horses, and left Braichcelyn at 11.35 a.m., with about a ton and half of timber. They came all right through Aberbovey as far as the road leading to Caethle. The witness at this time was sitting on the top of the load, whilst deceased was sitting on the shaft. He hesrd deceased shouting on the horses to stop, and when he looked down he saw the fore wheel going over the deceased body. The horses stopped before the back wheels went over him. The deceased at once got up, and walked some distance. He seemed to have come to himself, and soon put his hands on the shaft and jumped up again, and sat down. They went on, and, when opposite Rivers Lee deceased called on him to stop the horses. The witness stopped them and the deceased came from the shaft on being asked. He said he was not hurt but greatly shocked. He then vomited, but threw up no blood. He went on the shaft again, and re- mained there until they were near the Turnpike. There he sat near the road side, and tried to vomit. He then laid himself down, snd seemed to be con- siderably weaker. With assistance of a gentleman who was passing he got him up again, but deceased appeared worse. He pressed upon him to go to the Turnpike House but he refused. He (witness) then asked if he would be allowed to go to town and get a carriage to convey him home. To this he con- sented. Before going he requested the women of the houses to watch over him. Mr Evans, Morfa, Towyn, met him and went for the carriage.—Asked if he knew how deceased fell, witness (said the deceased told him that his foot went into the wheel, and he was thus dragged down. With regard to his condition deceased had called at the Dovey whilst on their way to Braichcelyn and also at Penhelyg. On returning he had also entered the Dovey. The deceased walked and talked all right and did not appear at all drowsy. He (witness) did not think the deceased fell in a fit.-The Foreman It is a general custom, I think, for drivers to sit on the shaft, is it not?- Witness Yes, they generally sit there, but it must be said to be very dangerous.—J. Evans, Morfa Towyn farm, said the deceased was in bis service as farm servant. He died on Satur- day evening atioiir, 11 p.m. He saw deceased on the side of the road near the turnpike and though- at the time be had taken too much as he appeared to be drowsy. He askeo where were the horses and ho replied that Bob had taken them on. He then went on and soon caught up R. Wynne Thomas who informed him of the accident and that the fore wheel of the wagon had gone over deceased's body. He returned with a conveyance to take him to his house and medical aid was summoned as soon as possible.— Mr Humphrey Williams: Was he able to get into the carriage himself then r- Witness: I assisted him up, and he was then able to walk in.- L>r H. G. Jones wrote a letter stating that he had been called to attend the deceased. He had died from the effects of injuries sustained by falling from the wagon, the fore wheel of which went over his abdomen.—A verdict of Accidental death" was returned.

LLANEGRYN. THE SCHOOL QUESTION.—A further meeting to discuss the above was held on Tuesday evening last week, Mr Wm. Davies, Fron Newydd, again in the chair.—After the Rev D. Davies and others had addressed the meeting it was resolved to call the attention of the County Governing Body, which has the control of the endowment, to the unsatisfactory and unjust management of the school. The Rev D. James and the chairman were appointed a deputa- tion to lay the views of the iahabitants before that body at its next meeting.

THE WELSH CUP. FIRST ROUND. ABERYSTWYTH v. LLANIDLOES. These teams met in their cup match at Aberyst- wyth on Saturday before a good gate. They were represented by the following :— ABERYSTWYTH. Goal, Rumsey Williams; backs, W. R. Jones and Harrv Smith: half-backs, G. Green, J. H. Edwards, and t. Parry; forwards, J. F. Jones, Hammonds, T. Jenkins, A. Green, and J. C. Rea. Linesman, Mr W. Price. LLANIDLOES. Goal, E. Evans backs, T. Hampton and D. Jones; half-backs, F. W. Davies, Ned Hamer, and T. Hamer; forwards, W. H. Hughes, R. Evans, J. O. Owen, W. Evans, Capt Lloyd. Linesman, Mr Davies. Referee, Mr R. T. Gough, Oswestry. Aberystwyth won the toss, and Llanidloes right wing broke away but were pulled up by the backs. The play fell over to the left wing, and one of the visitors handling the ball they were compelled to fall on their goal. Geo Green took the kick and drove the ball behind. Rea got in a beautiful shot off the line which Evans struck out. J. H. Edwards caught the ball from the rebound, and shooting well in, Hamer just headed out in time to save disaster. The home backs drove the ball down from the kick off, and Jenkins getting in front of goal drove the ball behind. The play was well in the hands of the homesters, and in the space of a few minutes Jen- kins got away and passing to Hammonds, the latter tipped the ball to J. F. Jones, who drew first blood for the homesters with a clinking shot. Following up the attack from the centee kick the town bore down on the Llanidloes goal and fairly penned in their opponents. A foul was given against Llanid- loes in midfield and W. R. Jones dropped the ball under the bar. The goal was of course not allowed, no one having touched the ball in its passage. The Llanidloes defence was severely pressed, and their forwards when there seemed an opening blundered by pas-ing on to the feet of the home backs. By united effort the visiting forwards crept towards the home goal. Beating the home backs, the goal appeared to be in peril, when the ball slipped over the line. This lull in the attack on the Llanidloes fcoal was but temporary,.and after some smart play by Rea, Jenkins got in a stinging shot which Evans was lucky enough to catch and toss out of danger. A foul was given against Jenkins but Parry saved from the kick off. Another foul against Edwards forced the home team into their goal. The ball was well placed, but Hammond cleared and Rea was favoured on the left. Hard kicking by the visiting backs cleared their ground, and the for- wards bursting away Rumsey Williams had to kick out a well directed shot. Rea was fouled by Hampton and a foul given. This was likewise cleared, but in saving from another attack Jones headed behind his own goal. The home team gained nothing by the place kick and play again fell to the immediate vicinity of the visitors' goal. A foul was given against Jenkins and the home defence was tried, Smith and Jones however pulling their defence out of danger. Another onslaught on the visitors' goal gave Jenkins an opening, and he quickly potted the second goal for tne Aberystwyth men. Another foul was given against Jenkins, and the only satisfaction Llanidloes earned by it was a rush on the right finishing up with a drive on the line. Geo Green fouled a visiting forward and once again the home goal was packed for a rush. J. H. Edwards however cleared by heading the ball to A. Green, who passing to Jenkins, the latter sent over to Jones. Jones was off-side, and his chance of adding to his score was nipped in the bud. Hampton and Jonps were very conspicuous in the defence of their goal and did some smart work with their heads. Rea was the fortunate player who scored the third goal for the home team, which he did in fine style with a long shot off the left wing after beating a couple of the visiting backs. Within a couple of minutes Hammond, Jones, and Rea had each a try at the goal, which was only saved by the merest chance. The first half finished with the game 3 goals to none in favour of Aberystwyth. The second half was opened altogether in favour of Aberystwyth, the Llanidloes men showing up rather poorly. Rea reached the corner flag and sent in a beautiful shot which skimmed the cross bar, falling on to the feet of J. F. Jones who scored the fourth goal. Another run by Rea finished with Hamer kicking the ball behind. Clearing their goal from the rush the visitors tried to break through the home defence. In this they were to some extant successful, coming to grief however when within shooting range. Several corners fell to the lot of the homesters, none of which wera brought to good account. Hammond, Jones, and Rea kept, pepper- ing away and Jenkins and A. Green were well up. Presently the fifth goal was notched for the homesters by A. Green, who dashed up just as Evans kicked out a fast shot from Hammond, and drove the ball into the net. In a short time Evans was called npon to save again from the same player. The sixth goal was secured by J. F. Jones from a fine bit of passing between Rea and Green. A scrimmage in the mouth of the visitors' goal, in which Evans was hurled to the ground, finished up with Jenkins scoring the seventh goal. The whole of the forwards had scored with the exception of Hammond, but the credit of the last goal was un- doubtedly due to Hammond, who, taking a pass from his partner Jones, drove the ball into the hands of Evans. The rest of the game can be I summed in a few words as it was mainly in the hands of the home team, who won a good game by 7 to 0. +.
