MR. O. P. TRAHERNE'S XI. v. BRYN- MENIN. This match was played at Brynmenin, and although the weather was not very favourable to cricket, still the contest drew a good gate. It was the second annual benefit for the Brynmenin team, and the Squire of Bryn- garw certainly deserves the greatest thanks for bringing together such a strong team with a view of not only assisting the Bryn- menin team financially, but also of giving an exhibition of how the summer pastime should be played. Mr. Traherne's team was as- sisted by Messrs. W. H. Brain (Glamorgan County), J. Walton, H. Rickards, W. H. Watson, G. Halkett (Repton), R. Crawford (Leicester). Scores: Mr. Traberne's XI. W. H.

OGMORE & GA.RW NEW PONTYCYMMER- Mrs. Evans's Illness.—The many friends oi Mrs. Evans, Ffaldau House, will be pleased to learn that she is a little better, although still confined to her bod, as she has been for the past five or six weeks. Outing.—On Wednesday in last week the English Calvinistic Methodist and Salim Welsh Baptist Sunday Schools took a trip to Porthc-awl, and spent a nleasant day. On Tuesday Tylagwyn Sunday School visited Barry, and the outing was thoroughly appre- ciated and will long be remembered by the children. Off to Canada.—There seems to be an in- creasing tendency amongst the young men of the Garw to go abroad. No less than five left the valley on Tuesday morning for Funie. British Columbia, viz.. Messrs. Tom Williams. Pontyrhil. Wm. Jones, Walter Price, Richard Bowen, and Tommy Bowen, Pontycymmer. I.O.G.T.—The members turned up in good numbers on Saturday to give Bro. Walter Price, who is about to leave for Canada, a good send off. Several of the members re- ferred to his faithfulness and activity since he became a member of the lodge, and as an appreciation of his good services presented him with a beautiful Bible and Sankey's Hymnal. Ffaldau Colliery.—During the holidays the tradesmen at the Ffaldau Colliery were busily engaged in fitting up a new pit frame, the old one being in a dilapidated state. The undertaking was a great one, but the work 'was executed without delaying the pit after the holidays. The new frame is much larger than the former one, and the quick despatch of work redounds creditably to the mechanical engineer, Mr. John Llewellyn, and his staff. Well Done, Garwites !—It is highly encour- aging to know that the Garw folks figured so prominently at Bridgend Eisteddfod on Wed- nesday last week. Mr. Butler and his young band of male voices came off with honours in the male voice competition, and Mr. Johnnie Phillips, with the mixed choir, did likewise. The Garw Party is now chiefly composed of young voices, and there is every reason to "believe they have a prosperous future in front of them. Temperance. An united temperance meeting was held in the open air near Waun Bant on Tuesday night, and despite the bad weather a good number turned out. After the close of this meeting a procession 'was formed, which proceeded to the new Primi- tive Methodist Chapel (kindly lent for the occasion). The chair was occupied by the Rev. Babie, the newly appointed minister. The meeting was opened by prayer by the Rev. D. Mardy Davies (C-MI). The speaker on this occasion was the Rev. Morris Morgan (Swansea), and his discourse was listened to with rapt attention by the large congrega- tion. Appropriate choruses were rendered by the choir, conducted by Mr. Bennett, and a beautiful recitation was given by Miss May Evans. After the usual vote of thanks. Mr. "Rabie closed with prayer.

ACCIDENT AT THE WYNDHAM. Mr. W. A. Williams, deputy coroner, held an inquest at Church House, Ogmore Vale, on Wednesday, on the body of Ernest Francis Phillips, a collier, aged 17. who was killed by a fall of roof at the Wyndham Colliery on the previous day. Evidence of identification was given by Alice Phillips, deceased's mother, who resides at 9 Wyndham-street, Pricetown. David Williams, 57 St. John's-street, Og- more Vale, stated that deceased worked with him in a stall in the 2ft. 9in. seam. On Tuesday they went to work about 8 a.m., when witness examined the place thoroughly. He then went to the top side of the stall to work, and in about ten minutes lie heard a stone fall at the bottom end where deceased was. Witness called out, but received no answer. -tLe then went to the spot, where he found the deceased lying on the ground with a large stone on his right leg. Assist- ance was procured, and the stone taken off him. He was alive but unconscious. He was taken out of the colliery as quickly as possible, but died on the way. Deceased had only been working in that stall the day before. By Mr. Pritchard (assistant mines' in- spector) The stone struck deceased on the head, knocking him down and resting on the leg. Witness tested this particular stone that morning, and thought, it was all right. Deceased was at the time of the accident clearing rubbish. Lemuel Couch, 75 Dunraven-place, Ogmore Vale, acting fireman, deposed to making his usual examination on Tuesday morning. A verdict of Accidental Death was re- turned.

Evans, on Monday last, after a long and painful illness. The, funeral took place on Wednesday at Glynogwr. Mrs. Evans leaves grown-up children to mourn her loss, for whom great sympathy is felt. She was a faithful member at Bryn Seion Chariel. Bryn Seion and Bethania.—We are pleased to report that Rev. J. C. Evans, pastor of Bethania and Bryn Seion Congregational Churches, has so far recovered from his long illness as to be able to occupy his pulpit again.

Sunday Schools at the Seaside.—On Wed- nesday week the Sunday Schools of Bryn Seion, Bethania, Calfaria, Libanus, and Noddfa had their annual outing to Porth- cawl, where a most enjoyable day was spent. The weather was favourable, and altogether about 700 Gilfach folks were at Porthcawl. Excellent preparations were made by the Sunday School Committee to make the trip a success.

Ogmore and Garw Council Election. Mr. Tom Lucas, checkweigher, Aber Col- liery, Ogmore Vale, has been elected, unop- posed, to the vacancy on the Ogmore and Garw Council, caused by the death of Mr. Thomas Davies, miners' agent, Ogmore Vale. -Jf

A most extraordinary incident occurred while the Culmstock Otter Hounds were hunting the Yeo. After showing good sport an otter had a tussle with a terrier in some ^uud. When the hounds came on the scene later they mistook the muddy terrier for the otter and dispatched him.

PONTYCYMMER COLLIER'S DEATH. SIMPLE ACCIDENT WITH FATAL RESULTS. An inquest was conducted by Mr. S. H. Stockwood, district coroner, at the Ponty- cymmer Police-station on Tuesday into the circumstances attending the death ci Ivor Jenkins (31), formerly of Ferndale, who was living apart from his wife, and for the past three weeks had been lodging with his little boy in Victoria-street, Pontycymmer. Mr. David Jones was foreman of the jury. Benjamin Jenkins, retired collier, Fern- dale, gave formal evidence of identification. Deceased, who was his son, had lived apart from his wife for the past two years. William Morgan, 70 High-street, Ponty- cymmer, a haulier, said he was in the com- pany of deceased on Saturday, meeting him outside the Ffaldau Hotel. They went to- gether to the Conservative Club at Blaen- garw, and witness, being a member, took him in. Deceased was not a member of the club but he remained there with witness for three or four hours, and had four pints of beer. They left about 10 o'clock and proceeded to the Nanthir Hotel, where they remained to- gether about half an hour. They had a pint of beer each. Witness asked deceased about 10.30 if he was about going home, and he said he would follow witness in a short time. Deceased was sober and able to look after himself. They had no quarrel, and de- ceased face was not marked. Witness paid for all the beer they had in the Conservative Club. Henry Hitchings, a haulier in the employ of Mr. Studicomb, deposed that on Saturday night, at half past ten, he was driving from Blaengarw to Pontycymmer, and near the new schools, about 40 yards from the Nanthir Hotel, deceased asked him for a lift to Ponty- cymmer. Witness said "All right." and Jenkins got up in the cart witleh witness was driving. Deceased appeared to be sober. The horse had only gone a few paces when the deceased, who was sitting on a box, toppled over the side of the trap and fell 0!1 his head on the roadway. Deceased did not get up, and some men picked him up and put him in the trap. He seemed in a dazed con- dition, but when they arrived at Pontycym- mer he got out of the trap and walked away apparently unhurt. He walked in the direc- tion of Oxford-street. Witness did not see him afterwards. Ernest Carlyon. a collier, living at 60 Vic- toria-street, Pontycymmer, said he was walk- ing from Pontycymmer to Blaengarw on Sat- urday night when he saw deceased on the ground as if he had fallen out of the cart. Hitchings asked Ted Price and witness to as- sist him to get the man into the cart, and they did so. Deceased was quite helpless, and could not speak. Witness heard no row before he arrived on the scene. He saw no marks on deceased's face, but there was some blood on the driver's face. Sergt. Charles Lane deposed that on Sat- urday night, between 11.30 and 11.45, he saw deceased sitting on the window ledge of the shop of Mr. Bale (grocer). He was sitting with his elbows on his knees and hands on his face apparently sleeping. Witness roused him, and requested him to go home. He fell in the road, but got up again. Witness allowed Rosser Hopkins to take deceased home. There was no sign of injury on Jen- kins's face. Rosser Hopkins, Hill View. Pontycymmer, a haulier, spoke to taking deceased to his home at 77 Victoria-street. Deceased did not utter a word all the wav. There were no indications that he had been fighting. David Beynon, a haulier, lodging at 77 Victoria-street, Caerau, said deceased occu- pied the same bedroom as witness. Witness and deceased worked night and day alter- nately. When Jenkins came to the house about 12 o'clock (midnight) on Saturday it was thought he was drunk, and he was left in the front room. About 3 o'clock in the morning witness heard him groaning, and went down and gave him a glass of water, afterwards returning to bed. About seven o'clock he was awakened by Jenkins, who was kneeling at the foot of the bed naked and groaning. Witness put a shirt on him, but on returning to the bedroom a few hours afterwards found him dead. Dr. L. Scudamore, assistant to Dr. E. J. Parry, who made a post-mortem examina- tion, said there was a small abrasion of the cheek bone. The body was well nourished, but there were signs that deceased had been drinking excessively recently. He was of opinion that death was caused by compres- sion of the brain by a clot of blood from a bruise inside the skull. The fall from the trap would ha.ve been sufficient to cause the injury. The skull was not fractured. The Coroner complimented Sergeant Lane on the complete chain of evidence he had worked up in the case. which effectually dis- posed of the ugly rumours that had been set about. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

THE GILFACH DOUBLE FATALITY. TWO MEN KILLED ON THE RAILWAY. An inquest was held at the Gilfach Goch Hotel, Gilfach Goch, on Thursday afternoon, last week, into the circumstances attending the deaths of James Phillips and John Bowen, who were run over and killed whilst trespassing on the Great Western Railway, near Gilfach, on the morning of August 7th. Mr. John Jenkins was foreman of the jury. Inspector Nickless (Tondu) represented the company. Rees Bowen identified the body of James Bowen, who was his brother. Deceased, who was 25 years of age, was a collier, and resided at 46 Under Marion-street, Clydach Vale. He left home about half-past eight on the previous Monday evening. Thomas Jones said lie was with Phillips and Bowen on Monday night. They walked over the mountain to Gilfach Goch, and went to the Talbot Arms, where they had a quart of beer each. They did not remain there long, and left before stop tap. They got on to the line near the Glamorgan Colliery, intending to go for mushrooms. The Coroner Then you went to sleep on the line.Yes, sir; I went to have a smoke. Why did you go on the line?—I don't know. Witness did not know at what time they went on the railway or when his com- panions went to sleep. P.S. George He was drunk, sir. In reply to the Coroner, Jones said they started from the New Inn, Clydach. He did not know how long they had been in the inn. Thomas Edwards, engine driver, said he was driving a passenger train from Blackmill to Gilfach at 3.10 a.m., when it was very dark and foggy. He felt no shock at the spot indicated; there was merely a sharp click as if the damper was falling. On ar- rival at Gilfach the guard said he had felt a severe jerk, and they backed the train to within 200 yards of the snot where the click was heard. Witness and the guard walked down the 4ft.-way, and found a man's leg. A little further down they saw a man lying on the bank, and then they came across two bodies lying near the right-hand rail. Wit- ness had passed the spot about 11.50 p.m., and there was no one on the line then. Guard Wm. Pbnting said he felt a very severe jerk about a mile from Hendreforgan. The Coroner The engineman says he felt no jerk. How do you account for that? Witness My opinion is that the men must have been lying down, and they were awak- e £ ?~hy the noise of the passing train. I think the engine passed over them without touching them, because there was no blood on the engine but a good deal on the second and third coaches. Inspector Nickless said he examined the coaches on the following morning, and found a great deal of blood on the last coach. Inspector Hopkins stated that it was pos- sible that a man lying in the 4ft. way would not be touched by an engine as there was a space of 15 inches between the ashpan and the sleepers. P.S. John George said he was called to the scene at 3.4o a-m., and he found the bodies as described. The bodies were removed to the Gilfach Goch Hotel. The witness Thos. Jones was mad drunk, and witness could not get any sensible account from him as to what had occurred. He had to be locked in a cell The Coroner said no blame attached to the Great Western Railway employees; the men were entirely to blame for what had oc- curred. The Jury returned a verdict that the men met their death by being run over by a train while sleeping on the railway.

GARW MINERS' MEETING. HIGHER EDUCATION. At a meeting of the Garw District on Mon- day a circular was read inviting the Garw miners to send representatives to a confer: ence to be held at Cardiff of Trade Unionists, Trades Councils, and others interested in education to consider what might be done to bring about increased facilities for the higher education oi wo: king classes in aies. A delegate said thac u was very probable that the Miners' Federation would shortly be affiliated to the L.R.C., and it was possible that by sending representatives to this con- ference the miners might compromise them- selves and do something which would not be in touch with the national policy of the Labour party on education. He approved of the object of the conference, and if a con- ference of Trade Unionis was called by the L.R.C. he thought the miners should co-oper- ate heartily. The communication was laid on the table.

WELSH MINERS' WAGES. CLAIM FOR ADVANCE. CONCILIATION BOARD FAIL TO AGREE. The claim put forward on behalf of the miners of South Wales and Monmouthshire for an increase in the general wage-rate of 5 per cent. as and from 1st August was con- sidered at the quarterly meeting of the Con- ciliation Board on Friday. After a lengthy discussion, and a refusal by the workmen's leaders to accept an offer irfade by the owners' representatives of an advance of 2t per cent., it was decided that Lord St. Aldwyn, the independent chairman, should be called in to arbitrate between the parties. His lordship will accordingly meet the board and hear the arguments to-morrow (Satur- day). It will be remembered that the first de- mand for a variation of wages, under the agreement which came into force on 1st January was made in May last, when wases stood at the minimum of 30 per cent. above the standard rates of December, 1879. At the May meeting the men sought an advance of 3! per cent., but the employers contended that this could not be granted, as the audit of their books for the ttrevious three months showed that the selling price of large coal averaged only 12s. 6d., an increase of slightly over 2d. per ton, and justifying, therefore, only an increase of It per cent. The audit also showed that the small coal during that quarter had reached the average price of 7s. 3.21d. Acting, however, in the spirit of conciliation, the owners offered an advance III the wage rate of 2t per cent. as from. 1st June last, and this the miners' leaders, recip- rocating the motive which had prompted the employers to make the offer, decided to ac- cept. As stated above, an advance of 5 per cent. is now asked for. The joint board met, at 11.45 on Friday. There was a large attendance, although the men's representatives were in much stronger force than those of the employers. Mr. Clifford Cory, M.P., in the absence through illness of Mr. F. L. Davis, presided over the ?^nurS Slde> and Mr". W" Abraham, M.P. (Mabon), occupied a similar position in re- spect of the men's representatives. Plior to the conference, both sides had held separ- ate meetings for the purpose of considering the respective cases to be nut forward. & Expressions of regret were made by the workmen's side at the cause of Mr. Davis's absence. Several letters were then read from mem- bers on either side explaining their non-at- tendance, and a joint letter to Mr. Gascoyne Daziel and Mr. T. Richards, M.P., was read from Lord St. Aldwyn, intimating that Sat- urday, August 18th, would be convenient for him to attend if his services should be re- quired as independent chairman. Mr. W. Abraham (Mabon) opened the case for the workmen in support of the demand. Jie pointed out that there were three or four ,uP°n which the workmen felt satisfied that the factors were strongly in their favour and justified them up to the hilt in seeking tor an advance. These factors were (1) the Si ^'oal (2) the price of si-nall coal, (0) the volume ur trade generally, and (4) the improved prospects of trade. In so far as the volume of trade was concerned Mabon contended that there had been a very large increase in the first six months of this year as compared with the corresponding six months of last year. The price of large coal had materially increased, and there was a stronger demand for coal all round. It was also a notorious fact that small coal showed a very much bigger increase than large coal, the prices ranging between 8s. and 9s. a ton. bnVl1fPr0T^tS- of* tra,de had perceptibly UDO, fb dunng1 Iast *ew months, and futSi f gr°l"ld! t w workmen's side ven- f to assert that there was an ample case for+b reasonable demand made ior tiie o per cent, increase nie f^Presentatives controverted stated fw regard to the output, and ? ^Snres in their possession of ;'hC:"aLcoal delivered for the quarter did not show the increase as suggested by the work- lead s, { *n ^eir opinion the men's and th ft p]aced th<;ir case far too high, fJL/r '.es adduced were altogether mis- vas"d "1,!orrect- the output" ft ;;ir 'l, l'1 to compare the second three months of last year, or the first six months iorv? \year W1* 1 corr€SP°nding period of UUo, because in the first six months of last year there was a decided falling off in the output as compared with 1904. If the figures were taken over the two years, which they (the owners) contended was the fair way, it would be found at a glance that instead of ere being an increase of l £ million tons as shown by comparing 1906 with 1905 the h*lfT *n"ease+ was less by a ]ong way than nali a million tons. The workmen's representatives, in reply, pointed out that recent contracts entered iiito slioii-ed tkat remarkably good prices had been obtained. Continuing, the owners' chairman urged that prices had not improved to the extent indicated by the workmen. Further the prospects of trade-though Mr. 11'. L. Dvis their chairman, had admitted at the last re- vision that prospects were improving—were T. £ emg satisfactory. Coming to the audit of the coalowners" books, Mr. Cory declared that they disclosed that the average selling prices for the past three months were in the region of 12s. 3d., a very slight in- aud?t fofThp fHUreS pertained at the audit ior the quarter ending March The an^offer vi however, were prepared io make that thev hel a t0, a settlement—not to it but i^ t'i t}f WorkT!len were entitled it, but in order to conciliate and to wive ?i t.°j I ,deslre to do so. The Jtfer ™ thSfr WaS 2* Cent" "l"t nas then final decision m the matter. Thev Sons dlsP°sed to mak« any further con- A lengthy discussion ensued, and the work- men's representatives adduced further facts on the owners refusal to concede the full de- Elu;? was maintained by the workmen that taking the owners' figures there had been week by week an increase either as be- tween the first quarter of this year or the corresponding quarter of last year, or even two years ago. If the workmen were gov- 1 J ^ue i the prices dis- closed by the audit would entitle them to 37a per cent. upon the standard of 1879. Fur- ther, on the 1st November the coal tax would be removed, and whatever adjustment of wages would take place as from the 1st Sep- tember the owners would obtain relief of the whole of the shilling tax for one month out of the three of the coming quarter. In regard to the value and operation of the x klidmg-scale basis, the owners pointed out that that had been decided by Sir David Dale, and the whole of the factors under clause 16 would not warrant the present pro- posal being entertained. Without withdrawing the workmen's side replied that they regretted very much to find the attitude taken up by the owners, but they could not for a moment consider the proposal to accept 21 per cent. as a compro- 2 mise. Accordingly the matter will have to go be- fore the independent chairman (Lord St. Aldwyn). It will be the duty of his lordship to give his casting vote either for or against the demand, for he has no power to vary the amount claimed in any way.

Weather and the Crops. The market to-day was weak for foreign wheat, all sorts being cheaper on the fort- night, and the fall being about 9d. in the leading descriptions. A few rubbed out samples of English were shown, and 31s. per 5041bs. was the price asked. The quality was good and condition excellent. Barley was neglected for all sorts at barley previous prices. A few samples of new winter oats made 18s. 6d. to 20s. per quarter. Foreign oats receded 3d. per qr., and were difficult to place even then. Maize was rather in buyers' favour for yellow and round, but not for flat corns. Beans and peas were ex- tremely scarce. There were a few samples of new rye on sale at 26s.. with buyers at 24s. 6d. per qr. The market under the influence of the hot and close weather, closed in favour of buyers for all the leading cereals. The flour market for London makes was quiet at the concessions of the 3rd inst. Country flour was neglected pending makes from the new wheat being available. Prices practic- ally unchanged.—From Monday's "Mark- lane Express."
