FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT…
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT PENYFFORDD. Last Friday night a fatal accident occurred to a boy named Roberti, aged about 16, employed as a number taker at the Hope Junction on tliewrexham, Mold, and Connah's QI.Y "Railway. It appears that the deceased was engaged at his work while some shunting was pro- ceeding. He atocd on a set of rail?, expecting that the train would not pass over them. However, he was mistaken, and he was knocked down, the wheels runnirg over the middle of his body. He waa re- moved to the Wrexham Infirmary, but died on Saturday morning. LThe above appeared in Saturday morning's issue. ] THE INQUEST. I The inquest was held on Tuesday morning at tie County Buildings, Wrexham, when Mr B. H. Thelwall was the coroner, and Mr Nathaniel Davidcon was foreman of the jury. Mr H. G. Roberts, of Mold, appeared for the relatives of the deceased. Inspector Holt represented the Company. Mr Richard Drinkwater, house surgeon at the Wrexham Infirmary, said deceased was brought in on Fiiday, Febiuary 13ch, about ten minutes to ten o'clock at night. He found that deceased's left t'.igh was nearly severed from the body, being only held by a piece of skin, and the muscles and vessels dreadfully torn. In the right thigh the bone was fractured. The chief vessels and muscles of the front of the limb were also torn. AU the members of the medical staff had a consultation, and both limbs wera amputated. He was then dressed and put to bed. Ha seemed to rally, but died at six o'clock a.m. from shock and lois of blood. By Mr Roberts Two men brought him, but he did not know whether any relative accompanied him, Mary Roberti, mother of the deceased, living at Penyff'jidd Station, said her son was fifteen last Ju y. He was a number-taker on the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Railway. Samuel Taylor. relief signalman, said he was employed at Penvffordd and Buckley Junctions. The boxes at these places are tbreequarters of a mile apart. He knew the deceased, who was a number- taker. On the date in question he was in the Peny- ffordd box. and at 930 p.m. he saw deceased standing in the four-foot on the up line. In the meantime witness' poit.ti were locked. Deceased was standing opposite th3 station. The engine was approaching from the direction of Wrexham on the line tie boy was standing on. Hearing the engine approach wit- ness went to the window, exhibited a red light, and shouted to the boy to get away. He was too late, and shortly afterwards witness heard screams. The deceased should have been in the six-foot. Debased had been in the employ of the Company over twelve months. The Coroner What are your hou.-s 7—1 went on at one o'clock What time did he go on ?-At nine a.m. on the Hth iiiiit. How long would he have been on duty ?-Until about ten p.m. if he had not been hurt. That is thirteen hours. Is he on that work every day ?—No. It is every other week, and the hours vary. One week he comes at 6.30 a.m. and finishes at 5.30 p.m., that is ll-i hours, but he only worked thirteen hours a day sometimes. This difference is due to the weather. lIe wns relieved when working lata. When he came on at 9 a.m. he might finish his work at 7.30 p.m. or S p.m. The Coroner Ient that too much for him ?-\Vell air, it i. early and late. But isn't it too much, thirteen hours for a youth of his age ?-Well thirteen hours is a long time for a man to work. Has he time for dinner ?-It is hard to say, but it varies. How many of the staff have been taken off lately —I cannot understand you, Has the number of men working at PenyffordI Station been reduced ?—No, sir. Nor their wages reduced ?-No, air. Continuing witness repeated the account of the accident. He said that deceased when shouted to tried to get on the station platform. If deceased had stepped into the six-foot he would have been safe. The Coroner: Had he been to sleep that lav ?-No, sir. He seemed to have his wits about him, but the accident could not have been avoided. By Mr Roberts In consequence of the point3 being locked from the North End he could not move them. He did not know the deceased had been uncoupling at I.. «•. « • • « i all. It was no part or iiis auty. By Inspector Holt: Number takers had about two hoars to themselves during the day. Alfred Morris, foreman at PenSffurdd, said he knew the deceased, but could not say anything about the accident, for he was 130 yards away, by the north crosa-over road. He heard .creama, and found Roberta under the engine. There were four trucks, three being empty, Deceased's body was in the four- foot, and one leg was in the spare space near the plat- form. Deceased could speak, and when asked said he did not know how the accident happened. In reply to a question. Inspector Holt said after the accident, the deceased was run special to Wrexham, and was in the Infirmary 25 minutes after the acci- dent occurred. Jurors Verv good. ?'o?nerS? if his mother had been told about the accident, abWitlVSd ?' on. had gone to tell her, because it wal thouht beet not to do so. ?'Robert? yo? over worked? No, not in my yard, for there are special hours late and early. Had deceased a fixed time for dinner? No, but sometimes he would have one-and-a-half hours. There was no fixed time for tes. What were his wages ? 7s 6d per week. Inspector Holt said he had been paid 5a per week for some time, but two months ago he was paid another half-a-crown. Had he lived he would soon have had another rise ot nau-a-crown. Mr Roberts; Were his hours the same when he was paid 7s 6:1 a week as when he got 5a ? Inspector Holt said they were and many times he did not work eight hours a day. In summing up, the Coroner said in all probability the boy finding the wagons upon him, tried to jump on the platform, but failed to do so, and falling under the wheels was injured. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of accidental death, adding in their opinion no one was to blame. ♦
DENBIGH AND THE BARRACKS QUESTION.
DENBIGH AND THE BARRACKS QUESTION. ¡ A COUNCILLOR RESIGNS. THE MAYOR THREATENS TO LEAVE THE CHAIR. At the meeting on Tuesday of Denbigh Town Council, a letter was read from the public meeting of the ratepayers recently held, approving of the action of the Mayor and the Council in inviting the military centre to be established in the neighbourhood. There was a motion on t'ie agenda in the name of Mr Gee, That in a matter of such importance as the erection of barracks in this neighbourhood the electors of the borough should have an opportunity of expressing their individual opinions by ballot upon the question, and that the Council should take such steps as would be necessary to ascertain whether they are favorable, or opposed, to the proposal embodied in the resolution put at the last meeting of the Council." On Mr Gee rising to put the resolution, The Mayor thought they had no power to deal with the matter, and he would ask the Town Clerk as to the legality of the resolution. The Clerk said believing that the matter would be broached, and as it was important, he had taken upon himself t) obtain legal advice, not desiring to give private opinion on the subject. He had written to the solicitors to the Municipal Corporation Society, London. He explained to them that at the last meeting of the Town Council, a resolution was carried by the casting vote of the Mayor, inviting the Govern- ment to fix upon a spot in the neighbourhood to erect barracks, and thc. a public meeting had been held, and his action sup^oited. He asked-Fit.-it, Whe- ther a resolution demanding a poll will be in order, and if the mayor can put it to the meeting ? If in the event of the majority of the Council deciding to have a poll by ballott, can thd Council legally pay the expenses of tuch a poll?" The solicitors replied "The meeting called appears to have been a meeting of the townspeople, convened by the mayor, as chief townsman in the exercise of his office on a question of public interest. But th. does nut appear to have been any statutory necessity for it, and we cannot say that the Town Council has any jurisdiction or duty in the matter. We are of opinion that the pro- posed resolution will not be in order, and the mayor should refuse to put the same to the Council. The Council have no fund or rate that we are aware of, with which they can legally pay the expenses of a poll on such a question as that in discusion. xnere must be some statutory necessity for the holding of the meeting to justify the putting of the expeuses on the rates." The Mayor ruled that the resolution Mr Gee pro- posed was out of order. Mr Gee said he would propose his resolution, and then read it. The Mayor I rula that you are out. i, r Gae. Mr Gie thought it was a very invidious way of carrying on, and referred to the public meeting say- ing that the public bellman had none round asking that those in favor of the militiry might be in their places fifteen minutes before the meeting commenced. There was no precaution taken to keep any but elect ir8 out, and when the show of hands was taken those of non-voters were counted, and the minority could demind a poll. The meeting was no criterion of the electors' opinions. Tiie M tyor You are out of order, Mr Gee, and unless you discontinue I shall have to leave the c'lair. Mr Gee It is a very imperative manner for a young man of your age. With respect to the letters I wrote I did not intend them tor publication, but since the Mayor thought proper to read them at the meeting I will not withdraw a single word of what I have written, and I feel sure that when in future years they considered the matter they would not blime me, and be sorry. The Mayor Gentleman I must ask you to sup- port me. Mr Gee is out of order discussing the matter. Tnose in favor of hearing Mr Ge please show hands. Six voted for and six against hearing Mr Gee. Mr Thomas Mr Mayor, there L.are fourteen mem- bers present, two having not voted. (Mr Gee and Mr Howel Gee voted for a hearing.) The Mayor: I will give way for Mr Gee to say what he has to say. I shall refuse to put the resolu- tion to the meeting. Mr Gee proceeding, repeated his former remarks, adding that his son Howel would retire that there might be an election on the subject. They had spent hundreds of pounds in improvements in the town, and he now saw they wanted to introduce—he did not wish to be too hard upon the soldiers-tlit)se who would destroy the morality of the (own. He proposed that they allow his son to retire without paying the fine. The Mayor: We have no power to receive the resignation without the fine. Mr Gee What is the fine ? The Clerk: 210. Mr Gee Howel resign now, and I will pay the fine. Mr Howel Geo If my father is goo £ enough to pay the fine I beg to retire. The Clerk: It cannot be taken like that. You must write out the resignation and sign it, accompany- ing it with £10. Mr Bo^z Jones wished to know how it was, if it was out of order to bring that mattsr forward, then why was it not in the first instance. The Mayor It was no more out of order to bring the matter of barracks forward, than was the reso- lution for Sunday Closing in Wales. (Applause.) Mr Howell Gee, after a brief consultation with his father, left the chamber to write out his resignation. Mr Thomas I should like to know, Mr Mayor, who is going to pay the expenses of this election; and if the election should go against Mr Gee, will he bow to the opinion ? The Mayor You are out of order, Mr ThomaLm. Mr Gee Yes, I will. A letter was aubssquently received from Mr Howel Cep, tendering his resignation, but the 210 was not sent. The Clerk said it could not be taken without the money. Mr Gee had not got it with him. The Clerk lent Mr Gee a cheque book, and the cheque for 610 was written out. The resignation was then accepted. There were a great number of ratepayers in the Chamber. MR GEE'S RESIGNATION IGNORED. On Wednesday evening an adjourned meeting of the ratepayers was held, when the subject of the resignation of Mr Gee was discussed. It was decided that the resignation should not be recognised by either the Liberal or the Conservatives. After the decision of the the Council and public meetinp, the Town Clerk was of opinion that no poll could be taken on the subject. It was agreed to issue a manifesto. declaring that neither political party intended to oppose Mr Gee, who will therefore be able to retain his seat as hereto fore.

CORRESPONDENCE.-I
CORRESPONDENCE. I THE BRYMBO IBURIAL SCANDAL. I Sia,-As the person aathoriaed by the widow, Mary Davies, to carry out the arrangements for the funeral of my late brother, Edward (Davies, I beg to ttite that my sister-in-law did not write the letter which has been published by the vicar of Brymbo, purport- ing to come from her. The Vicar did not visit her oncp. neither before, nor after the funeral, and con- sequentiy she had no conversation whatever with him on the subject. The history of that document is this. The Vicar sent a person- named Edward Edwards to the widow with a paper for her to sign, he telling her that the paper was intended to c!ear her from all responsibility in the matter, and to prove that she did not authorise her mother ts ask for the services of the Vicar at the funeral, but when the letter appeared she found it quite the reverse of what she thought she was signing, and feels that she was entirely misled and deceived by the Vicar and his servant to sign that which was not true, and if she had known really the contents of the document, that certainly she would not have signed it. I also beg to say, that it was with the full consent and approval of my sister-in- law that I caused a notice to be sent to the Vicar, that my late brother would be buried under the provisions of the Burials Act of 1880, and in refusing to allow that to be carried out he has deliberately defied and broken the law, for which no doubt we shall hear more by and by. I will leave the public to judge between the Vicar and the widow, and to form their own opinion in what terms to characterise the action of the Vicar in causing a paper to be published containing a gross libel on a poor widow in the midst of her sorrow on the loss of her husband. And I can vouch for the fact that she did not wish, nor desire, nor instruct any person to ask for his services at the funeral.—I am, &c.. ROBERT DAVIES. Lodge, Brymbo. SIR,-Will you kindly insert the following, which makes the third certificate I have received.—I am, &c., HUGH ROBERTS, Vicar of Brymbo. Green Man, Brymbo, Feb. 19th, 1891. This is to certify that the report that the Vicar of Brymbo promised certain things if he should bury is not true. He did not even ask if he might be allowed to bury. It was I, acting on behalf of my daughter, tliat asked him to bury. (Signed) SAKAH ELLIS (Mother of Widow.)

DISTRICT NEWS.I
DISTRICT NEWS. MOLD. THE FOOTBALL CLUB.—On Tuesday evening, at a meeting of the members of the Mold Football Club, it was resolved to retire from the Welsh League. The club will now take more the position of a junior club, but if the members do not show more interest in the matches than previously, the probability is that the club will be dissolved. IMPROVEMENT IN CHESTER STREET.—A very de- cided improvement has been effected in Chester- street, where the old fashioned house?, adjacent to the Victoria Inn, have been pulled down, and a new set of offices built, which are now occupied by Messrs Thomas Parry J& Co. The embankment in front of the houf3es has also been removed, and a new parapet made, along which the public can walk from the corner of the Victoria Inn, to the old wall half up the street. THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.—These schools were examined by Mr T. Morgan Olven, H.M.I., early in January. We are informed that the Roman Catholic Schools have done very well. The report of the National Schools has not been made public, but we have been favored with a copy of the report on the Board Schools, which reads very well, and is highly creditable to all concerned. The tutal grant earned was £322 5s. TOUE IN AMEBICA.—On Tuesday evening, at the Bethel Congregational Chapel, the Rev. Thomas Roberts delivered a lecture on his recent visit to the United States. There was a very good attendance, and the chair was taken by Mr Herbert Lewis. A hearty vote :of thanks was given to the lecturer, on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr Wheldon. On the motion of Mr LI. Eaton, seconded by the Rev. T. Shankland, a similar compliment was paid the chairman. LOCAL BOARD, WEDNESDAY.—Present Messrs Thomas Parry, chairman Evai. Davies, H. Lloyd Jones, H. Robert?, Thomas Bellis, H. Hughes, Ll. l-aton, E. Wheldon, D. Owen, G. 'E. Trevor Roper, Clerk and I. J one", Surveyor. An Offer IVan-ted.-Tlia Clerk read a letter from Messrs Kelly and Keene, in which they asked the Board to make an offer for the land. The Chairman said that the committee could hardly make such an offer, aud the negociations were now in abeyance for a shf;rt time. The Boundaries.—The Chairman reported that the committee appointed to inquire into the boundary question had met, and they had three alternate plans iii,view-first,to make the boundary conterminous with those of the Parliamentary Borough second, that the agricultural portion of the district should be left out, and Maesydderwen only included, while the third plan proposed to include Bromfield Hall, as well as Maesydderwen. The committee would make a definite proposal shortly which would be formally submitted to the Board. The Board and the Railway Company.—The Clerk read a letter from Mr Wood, of the North Western Railway Company, making an appointment to meet the Highways Committee of the Board, on Saturday, as to putting the north end of Westminster Road in order, with a view of its being taken over by the Board, and a footway made from the end of Gosvenor. street to the Station. In reference to this letter, the Highways Committee arranged to meet.Mr Wood on Saturday. Miscellaneous.—A letter was read from Mr C. P. Morgan, of Brynyrhaul, asking that some gravel be put on the footpath on the road between the Bridge Inn and King-street, and the matter was referred to the Surveyor.—Mr Morgan also asked what lump sum the Board would require for the use of the Town Hall for ten practices and for a concert. On the sug- gestion of the Chairman, the Clerk and Surveyor were requested to see what would be the cost of gas and cleaning of the hall for such purposes by the next Board.—Mr Wheldon called attention to the erection of a gate opening outwards in Glanrafon Road, which by obstructing the road was positively dangerous. A verbal notice was given to the occupier, but he treated it with contempt. What had been done ?-The Clerk said he had given the statutory notice to the occupier requiring him to put the matter right at once. He objected, saying that the gate entering into Mr Robert-, the builder's yard, also opened outwards, but that gate was in existence before the Local Board, which had jurisdiction only over those made sub- sequently. It was decided to enforce the notice, and to require the occupier to keep the footpath in proper repair, he having injured the same in carting over it. —With regard to the gates entering on Mr Roberta yard, it was agreed that on Mr Roberts causing them to open inwards, the Board would repwic tha footpath and the channel.

I FIRE AT THE CO-OPERATIVE…
FIRE AT THE CO-OPERATIVE STORES. I On Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, the inhabitants were startled by the announcement that the Co-operative Stores were on fire. In a few moments persons were hurrying to the scene of ifre. Large flames were thrown up and lit the district around. Upon examination of the premises, it was found that a small room, recently built for storing petroleum and paraffin oil, was on fire. U n- fortunately the building was built of timber with a corruaated iron roof. A large army of helpers was eagerly atl hand, and water was carried in buckets from the adjoining houses. A portion of the building was demolished in order that the water might reach the seat of the ifre. Owing to the small and narrow space between the building, only a couple of men at a time were able to deal with the fire, these being relieved at intervals, the heat being oppressive and the smoke suffocating. In an hour's time the fire was subdued. The outside of the barrel was found to be charred, and if the fire had continued much longer the contents of the bairel would have been destroyed, and an explosion resulted. The street in front of the shop, and for a long distance in both directions was packed with people. The loss is covered by insurance in the Co-operative Insurance Company, Manchester, and the damage is not as serious as anticipated. The origin of the fire is at present unknown, but is surmised to be the result of an accident.

Full inquiry, however, proved that only green wood had been placed on the heating apparatus, and the flues not sufficiently drawn. EYfON. NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—The new mistress, Miss Caroline F.
