Fatal Accident.—Thomas Evans, aged 38, a. repairer, of 81 Bethania-street, Maesteg, met with his death at the New Pit, Coegnant Collieries, on the lfith inst. It appears that he and William "Keefe were in the act of putting an old arm out on the Dowlais parting on the east side, when suddenly there WRQ « fall of roof, which com- pletely covered EVRns.

Pritchard, inspector of mines; Mr. David Daviferf, manager of the Coegnant Colliery; Mr. Joshua Davies, overman; Mr. Ben RQes, surveyor; Mr. E. E. Davies, solicitor. Evan Evans, a brother, gave evidence of identifica- tion, and said deceased was 43 years of age, and was a repairer at the (Joegnant Colliery. William Keefe, 14 Park-street, assistant re- pairer at Coegnant, said ho was working with Thomas Evans on Wednesday night. They were taking old timbers out to widen the road on the double parting. By the in- structions of the fireman, they tried the top before taking the timber down. It sounded good, and he notched tho arm of the timber to reduce the strength, and put a chain around it. The fall resulted in about 20 trams of debris, and Evans was buried be- neath. Deceased was released in about I} hours. Evan R. Williams, 20 Glanavon- terrace, fireman at Coegnant, said he in- structed the men to put tho place right. He inspected it, and found the top strong. Double timber had been there for about two months. Dr. J. Harris oones said the cause of death was suffocation. It had been reported that the deceased was married, and in order to clear the point Mr. David Davies, colliery manager, appealed to the coroner to take the evidence of Jane Davies. who, after being sworn, said she lived at 81 Bethania- street. It was rumoured that she was mar- ried to the deceased, but there was no truth in the rumour. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." RESUMED WORK TOO SOON.

She had been ill a week with influenza, and told the doctor not to call again as she was all right. She went to bed on Tuesday night about 9.30, witness follow- ing her about 10.30. She woke about 2.30 &.m. and found her mother breathing heavily. She called her, but could get no answer. She then sent for the doctor. Dr. Thomas A. Gregg, assistant to Dr. Sin- clair, said he attended the deceased some short time ago to influenza. The cause of death in his opinion was cardiac failure, fol- lowing influenza, and was brought about by deceased resuming her work too soon. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. YEOMANRY DINNER. The annual Yeomanry dinner at Maesteg was held at the White Lion Hotel on Wed- nesday last week. Lieut.

Griffiths, Sergt. Thomas, Sergt. Treharne (G.I.Y.), Sergt. Hitchings, Messrs. Gilbert and Daniels. Miss Davies, the hostess, had prepared an excellent table, which the whole of the company enjoyed. The musical pro- gramme was of an excellent kind, and inclu- ded songs by Sergt. Hrtchings, Private Elliot, Messrs. Morris, J. Jarvis, T. Thom s, and Treharne. The Chairman proposed the loyal toast, and Major Boucher gave The Army, Navy, and Auxiliary Forces." He said the Army at present was in a transmutive state, and the Auxiliary Forces were in such a condi- tion that at present they did not know what they were going to do with them. The Auxiliary Forces had done their duty, and would do so again when called upon. Sergt.- Inst. Dyne, Col.-Sergt. Payne, and Sergt.- Major King responded. Sergt.-Major King submitted The Officers of the G.I.Y. in an excellent speech in which he said they were delighted with the Colonel, who was one of the finest officers in the Force. Maesteg was the best squad of the Regiment, and Lieut. Prichard was such an excellent officer that they could not speak too highly of him. Lieut. Prichard, in reply, said that the discipline and conduct of the squadron was due to Sergt.-Major King. The regiment had been very successful ever since it was formed six years ago. He was proud to say that every squad was full, and no doubt this was due to their gallant Colonel. The speaker then gave some excellent advice to the trooper^ and especially with regard to their mounts. He then proposed The Non- Commissioned Office.rs," which was replied to by Sergts. Treharne, Hitchings, Daniels, Gilbert, Laviers. and Corpls. Beynon, Jen- kins, and Horsell. Sergt. Hitchings proposed Our Guests, the Officers of the Maesteg Volunteers." Major T. B. Boucher, replying, said he was glad that good feeling existed between the Yeomanry and the Rifle Corps. When the Rifle Corps was formed 23 yea.rs ago, the wiseacres said they would not exist more than five years, but he was proud to say they were going strong to-day. They had the Yoomanry now with them, and he hoped they would work well together. Sergts. Dyne, Gaul, Griffiths, and Thomas also spoke. Sergt. Rees Griffiths, the oldest Volunteer in Maesteg, complimented Sergt.-Major King on his work. A vote of thanks to the hostess was passed, and a pleasant evening ended in the singing of God save the King."
