PERFORMANCE OF "THE MTIYITY,"…
PERFORMANCE OF "THE MTIYITY," AT 'PONTYPIUÐD. The sacred cantata r' The Nativity, was excel- lently performed in the New Town Hall, Ponty- pridd, on Thursday evening by the Caivary Glee Party. There was a large audience, and the chair was occupied by Mr J. Crockett, who, in opening the proceedings, delivered an appropriate address. He then called apon the artistei'to proceed with the first part of the programme. TMs was a mis- cellaneous arrangement-of soloSrduetts^cecUa^ions, &o. Miss Lnoy Clarke, of-Cardiff, aang^ el Ladd ie in splendid style and elicited a well-deserved re- call, with which she complied. Miss Polly Rowlands was popular, as usual. flolos IroBdoriod by MesBTB R. 7 W. Evans (Cardiff), T. H. Hatfdock (Pontypridd), and Frank Joshua (Neath) were thoroughly well received, and the instrumental duett performances of Messrs E. P. Mills and D. J. Griffiths were excellent. The recitation of Miss Ada Rowlands fully justified the chairman's encomium upon "our native elocutionist," and we are surprised that her services have not been more often utilised.—The second part of the programme consisted of the cantata performance. The Glee Party was assisted by the following artistes Soprano, Miss Polly Rowlands, Pontypridd con. tralto, Miss Luó:f Clarke, Cardiff tenor, Mr R. W. Evans, Cardiff baritone, Mr T. IL Maddock, Ponbyptidd; baBS, Mr Frank Josbua, $eath i 'alli the Calvary String Band, under the leadership of Mr D. J. Griffiths, Pontypridd. Piauiat, Professor E. P. Mills, Pontypridd organist, Mr T. H. Nor- man, Hopkinstown; conductor, Mr W. E. Thomas, Pontypridd. The performance was such as to I reflect great credit on all concerned, choruses and individual parts alike being rendered with precision and effect.—At the. close of the performance, the Chairman, called for, cheers fdr the inuisioianri, aDd the request was heartily responded to by the audience.—The Rev. W. Parry, in proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman, tharked the ohoir on behalf of Calvary church for their services, and frankly admitted that singers from almost every choir in the town had come forward to assist. (Applause.) He was, he said, pleased to see Mr Crockett, himself a musician of no mean order, presiding on this occasion. (Applause.)—Mr W. Griffiths, Taff Villa, seconded the vote of thanks, and it was carried with acclamation.—The Chairman in replying, dwelt upon the soothing influence of music after a day's work, and expressed a hope that the choir would take np other masical works and perform them as creditably as they. had done The Nativity."

MERTHYR BOARD' OF GUARDIANS. THE DISTRESS.' 'A.t the meeting of the Guardians of the Merthyr Union, on Saturday, Mr R. H. Rhys in the chair Dr James asked the chairman if he had further considered the question of distress. The Chairman replied that he did not think it necessary; and be, for one, was quite certain that" if they offered em- ployment of the kind suggested in the latter received last week from the Local Government Board, no one would accept it.

They could not find it, and they went to defendant's house. There Were five together leaving the Bute. Another sister. Sarah Ralph, was walking with him. A young man named Ivor was with them. On reaching the house he said it was time for everybody to be home, meaning the remark to apply to Ivor. That led to high words between him ana defendant. They had a scuffle, and both fell to the, noor. He felt something going into his skin when on the floor. He thought defendant was scratching him.

Rosaer appeared for the com plainan t. -Thomas Roberts, 52, Gelli road, Ton, who appeared with his jaw bone frac- tured, said on the 20th inst, he was going home at half-past eleven at night. He had been drinking rather heavily. He was carrying a dried haddock with him. Near Mr Holmes' shop he was in the middle of the road and defendant came up to him. He had known him for years. Defendant stole the haddock from him, and then knocked him down. When down defendant kicked him on his jaw bone. He then ran away. His face was CJvred with blood from his mouth and his nose. He went by his sister's house. Theu followed defendant to get the fish back. Found him on the incline. He had the fish in his hand. On asking him for it he gave him a blow on the forehead which knocked him down. Defendant ran home carrying off the fish with him. On Sunday his face was very much swollen, and on Monday he went to he dootor. There had never been any quarrel between them. Though of the same name there was no relationship between them. Defendant: Were you not on the pavement? Did you not throw the fish in my face ? Complainant: No; I did not. I was in the middle of the road. Defendant: We were both pulling at the fish. I had the head and you the tail. The tail came off and you fell down. Complainant: No; the tail did come off, but you knocked me down. Dr. J. R. James said last Monday he saw com- plainant. His face was greatly swollen. Did not examine him then. On Thursday, when the swelliug was abated, found his lower jaw broken. It might have been done by a kick. There wae no mark outside. He thought if the bone had not given way there would have been a mark, but the skin seemed harder than the bone. Margaret Jones, sister of complainant, said on hearing a noise outside her house she pulled the window down and saw defendant on the road with a fish in his hand. £ aw him hit a man down. Did not know at the time it was her brother. Defen. daat ran away with the fish. On going downstairs and opening the door found that it was her brother with bis face covered with blvod. Jane Mordecai said she saw defendant put his hands on complainant's shoulders and push him down causing his head to strike the ground heavily." Defendant then ran away. For thb defence, David Swayne was called, who said complainant thiew the haddock about defen- dant s face. Defendant did not do anything to complainant. The Bench said they doubted the statement of defendant having kicked complainant. His jaw might have been broken by a fall. For that he would have his remedy in the County-court.—Mr Rosaer said he could not now.—Fined 10s and oostP, making in all 93 5s 2d.

A Reckless Miner at Penrhiwceiber.
A Reckless Miner at Penrhiwceiber. At Aberdare Police-court on Tuesday Joseph Jones, a collier, was summoned for infringing the 221th and 229th special rules in forcfe at the Penrhiwceiber Col- liery.—Mr C. Kenshole appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and, in stating the case, he said that on Wednesday morning last a man named Richard Evans, who was working in the colliery some fifteen or sixteen yards from the defendant, observed an un- usually bright light where the defendant was engaged, and he came to the conclusion that it was caused by a lamp with the top taken off it. He went towards the defendant, who, as he approached, took up the lamp and carried it for some few yards in front of him. Evans distinctly heard the defendant screw on the top, and thereupon he proceeded to give informa- tion to the fireman. The fireman questioned the defendant as to whether he had anything in his pos- session for unlocking his lamp, and Jones replied that he had not; but, upon being searched, an ordinary lamp-key was found in his pocket, which, however, he said he was not aware he had. The defendant, who was 63 years of age, had been discharged by the com- pany, but they, nevertheless, considered that for example's sake, they were in duty bound to bring the matter before their worships.—Evidence was callcd in support of the learned advocate's statement, and the Magistrates imposed a fine of 20s. and costs, with the alternative of a month's imprisonment.
THE EXPLOSION AT ABERNANT…
THE EXPLOSION AT ABERNANT COLLIERY. OPENING THE INQUEST. An inquest was opened at the Aberdare police- court-room, on Saturday (before: Mr, T. Williams, coroner), upon the bodies of David Jones, fireman, of Werfa-place; John Green, airwayman, of Cardiff- j road, Aberaman; and William Marshall, of 1, Dare-street, Aberdare, who were killed on Friday by an explosion of gas which occurred at the Werfa Colliery, Abernant. Mr Phillips was chosen foreman of the jury.-The Coroner ex- plained that so far as the cause of death was concerned there was no doubt about it; but what the jury would have to determine was whether the explosion was an accidental one or otherwise. Of course, the inspector of mines bad not yet had an opportunity of fully investigating the circum- stances of the affair, and there must be an ad- journment. He though* it would only be necessary to view one body, as the evidence applicable to one case would be equally applicable to the other?.—Evidence of identification in the case of William Marshall having been heard, it was arranged that the inquiry should be adjourned to the 13th of May. The jary then proceeded to inspect Marshall's remains. PARTICULARS OF THE ACCIDENT. It appears that there are twe pits at the col- liery, one of them being among the oldest in the valley, but it is not now extensively worked. It goes to a depth of within dixty yards "of the new pit which was sunk to the seven feet seam about two years ago, a shaft being constructed from the bottom of the old pit to this" vein for the purpose of ventilation. The explosion appears to have happened in the new pit, and to bava originated in a hard heading about 400 yards from the shaft. The deceased were engaged in driving this heading, and it is conjectured that air was admitted from the old workings, and that it forced the gas forward until it came into con- tact with a naked light. The disastrous effects of the explosion were not confined to the deaths of the poor fellows whose lives were sacrificed, for John Green, a son of one of the victims, and William Coward, of Penrheolgerrig, were badly burnt about the face and hands. A portion of the new pit bad been flooded for three weeks by water from the old pit, and a new engine had been put down, which would have been started in an hour after the accident had not the untoward event taken place. The deceased seem to have run for a distance of about 30 yards before any fell. Their bodies bore no indications of burning, and it is clear that they were suffocated by after- damp. The explosion did not occasion very heavy falls, but its force was such that it broke the guides of the shaft of the old pit, and rendered the carriages unworkable, one result of this mis- hap being that seven men who were at work in the four feet vein of the old pit were for some hoars unable to ascend. Eventually a chain was let down them by a winch, and, lashing them- selves singly to this chain, they all came safely to the surface, the last man being brought up about twelve o'clock. The new pit is ventilated by one of Schiele's patent fans, which draws from 65,000 to 70,000 cubic feet per minute, and it is said to provide an ample sufficiency of air. The colliery was visited by Mr Prosser Jones, deputy inspector of rr.ines, about a fortnight ago, and was then found in a perfectly satisfactory con- dition. Mr Jones made another inspection on Saturday. I We are pleased to learn that the deceased and injured men were members of the Miners' Per- manent Relief Fund. Mr Owen, the general secretary of the society, visited the colliery on Saturd1.Y morning and made arrangements for the immediate payment of relief to the widows a.nd children. ANOTHER COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT ABERNANT. TWO MEN KILLED. About three o'clock on Saturday afternoon a slight explosion occurred at the Tunnel Pit, Aber- nant, which is situate near the Werfa Colliery where a similar disaster of a more serious charac- ter, happened on the previous day. 'A man named John Jenkins, of Little-row, Abernant, and a boy who was working with him both sustained burns, but they were not of an aggravated nature.

-----Alarming Carriage Accident…
Alarming Carriage Accident Near Mountain Ash.. ,-I a* I /• NABROW ESCAPES. On Friday afternoon a serious accident befell a car- riage in which several well-known local gentlemen- Alderman Daniel Jones, of Cardiff; Mr Linton, solicitor, of Cardiff Mr Harpnr, sen., of Merthyr (father of the Cardiff Borough Engineer), and two professional gentlemen, London engineers—were re. turning homewards towards Llanwonno. Shortly after commencing their journey, and when near Mountain Ash, the pole of the vehicle snapped short off within eighteen inches of the end, and exactly at the point where the bolt passes through. The party were descending a declivity in the road at the moment when this occurred, and the horses, startled by feeling the carriage thrown upon their haunches, commenced galloping down the steep hill lying between the hill and the Llanwonno Churchyard, and, as their terror increased, eventually bolted together. Mr Linton, who sat in the hinder part of the vehicle, somehow managed to get out, and ran after the runaways, doing his best to stop them. The professional gentle- men, who were visiting the district on business con- nected with the Mountain Ash Gas and Water Bill, managed also to effect their escape in a like manner, with no more severe results than that they were con- siderably alarmed and shaken. Mr Harpur, however, in essaying to follow their example, fell upon his he&d and for a time was rendered partially unconscious- Happily, beyond some very bad bruises and the shocks he sustained no serious hurt. The driver, who stuck to his post manfully seeing that at the bottom of the short hill down which they were speeding there lay. long hilly descent, pulled the affrighted animals sharply to the off-side of the road, and capsized the carriage. Alderman Jones was pitched clean over the driver and thrown upon the bank, alighting on hia shoulder, and received some very bad bruises Lua strains, while the man in charge of the conveyaner. was also hurled from his seat and thrown npon his head, his shoulder and face being badly cut and bruised. Alderman Jones and he, however, were able to run to the horses' heads until help came from the inn, about 100 yards .distant, when, after a rest, the driver led his two horses to the New Inn, Pontypridd, whence they had started in the morning, while the party were accommodated with a vehicle from the Llanwonno Inn as far as Mountain Ash, where they were able to take train for Cardiff. An after exami- nation of the carriage revealed an old fracture through about one-third the thickness ef the pcle, and exactly adjoining the hole through which the bolt passed. This fracture would show that the accident was caused by the inability of the pole to stand the sudden thrust and jerk put upon it oa commencing the descent.

Sad Suicide of a Penygraig…
Sad Suicide of a Penygraig Girt. On Monday night, a young woman named Hannah Maria Noakes, committed suicide under- most distressing circumstances in the river Taff, near Tongwynlais. The poor girl, who was about twenty years of age, and whose character was of the highest, had, it appears, been for nearly six years a domestic servant in the employ of Mrs Ool*- man, of the Hawthorns, Llandaff. While there she formed the acquaintance of a young man, said to be a sailor, with whom she kept company for a con. siderable time, but, for some cause or other, the engagement was broken off at Christmas. This seems to have preyed upon her mind to such an ex- tent that her spirits, at one time as lively as could be, became low, and from despondency sbe sank in- to a state so morbid that heaUh k ga^S, and she was compelled to leave her situation and go for rest to her mother's house at Penvcraur Here a young collier named George Lee, whoso parents reside at 64, System-street, Cardiff, and who had paid her attentions, obtained her consent to become his wife, and on Sunday last the banuis were published at Pontypridd. On Monday both left the Rhondda Valley for the purpose of paying a visit to the young woman's sister, Mrs Hales, who resides near the Coll iers'Armfi, GFwaelodygarttu It was their intention to proceed to Cardiff on the following morniDg to the house of the mother pf George Lee, and afterwards to return to Penygraig. They arrive at Mrs Hales' in due course the B&W £ evening, and about half-past nine, as the family were chatting round the fire, previous to retiring for the night, the deceased suddenly rose from the chair, and, placing a niece's hat on her head, mada for the door, saying she would be back in a few minutes. Search was made bat nothing more was heard of her until the following morning, when the body waa discovered by a man named David Oliver lying on the bank near the Melingriffith Weir. There were no marks on her body, excepting a cut over one of her eyes, which was, doubtless, caused by the heavy flood dashing the body against thet stones of the weir.
