RHONDDA VALLEY NOTES.'
RHONDDA VALLEY NOTES. [BY MOKCANWI!.] A few months since a large number of cases of various kinds came before the magistrates at Ystrad weekly police court. These two localities became very prominent at one time, and even severe punishment did not seem to have the de- sired effect upon the offenders. Of late, however, an apparent change has taken place in the be- haviour of those who insisted upon resorting to violation of the law. There is a limit to every- thing, and to all appearances the climax has been reached, but not before the intruders felt that the old saying was true, viz., He that swims in sin must sink in sorrow." Whilst noticing an improvement in the localities just named, I find, with regret, another locality coming into prominence, in consequence of the bad habits of some of the residents. I refer to Blaenycwm. It appears that the Sunday Closing Act is often infringed at this place. Despite the vigilant efforts of the police authorities to stamp out the practice, some of the residents will not give up illicit drinking. 1 remember not long since a tine of B5 and costs was imposed, yet the law is still violated by others of the same turn of mind in the locality. Cases of this kind, from the locality named, are heard almost every Mouday at the police-court, and the majority of them are disposed of with varying penalties. It is clear that outlaws of this kind wil not desist until they find themselves in prison. The continued influx of labourers, th., to the neighbourhood has tended to increase the prac- tice. From what we can iearn they are engaged on the new railway at a near distance to their homes. When this class of people congregate together we generally observe but little respect shown even to common decency. 1 regret to understand that the conduct of some in this respect is unbecoming. Another regrettable feature is that the offenders cannot be brought to book in some instances for want of sufficient evidence. It is difficult to obtain convictions, because those summoned have so much to say in self-defence. I earnestly hope that wisdom will soon convince the offending parties of their low and unwarrantable behaviour. A letter was read to the Ystradyfodwg Local Board, at their last meeting, from a section of the Rhondda Liberal Association, re the increase of the salaries of the sanitary inspectors. The Association, it appears, considered that th" inspec- tors were well remunerated, and earnesly hoped that their application would not be granted. A communication to the same effect was read from another source. In answer to this we should like to say a few words. In the first place, does the Association understand its duties, or have any of its members ever experienced any of the onerous responsibilities devolving upon these officers in discharge of their respective duties? I am afraid not. But with due respect to their know- ledge and experience, we think they possess but a faint idea of them. f have reason to believe the society is composed of colliers, and I have no doubt that they are good workmen. However, when giving their opinion upon anything beyond their practical knowledge, they should hesitate before saying anything against what is not to them a sound conviction upon established facts. We all know what we experience with our regular duties, and are prepared to testify to facts any- thing concerning them, but when we urge an opinion upon other matters we find it is not so matured. Hence we should not arrive at conelu-, sions until we are well equipped with potent reasons in favour of our views. The members of the board have been elected by the suffrages of the people, and every reasonable being must admit that the board is composed of gentlemen of influence and ability. Having thus gained an honourable position, we think it is out of place on the part of the Association to dictate to them what lines they must follow, or, in other words, expect the board to obey our orders, how- ever peremptory. The members of the Ystradyfodgw Local Board know what amount of work their officers have to accomplish. Their districts are large, and their attention is drawn to parochial matters oftener than is imagined. Their responsibility is great, and they should be paid accordingly. The mem- bers did wisely, in my opinion, in granting two of the officers an increase of 5s per week in their wages. For the work expected of th;m, I am certain they are not overpaid. Doubtless the society will, after the decision of the board, con- sider that the sanitary officers were entitled to an advance in wages. I am very glad they suc- ceeded in making their clear to the board. Horses are very frequently left unattended in this Valley. We have noticed this on several occasions. Those in charge of them should be warned of their neglect. It is a dangerous prac- tice, and means ought to be adopted to check the practice. The streets are frequented by a large number of children and adults, and unless a reform is effected it will result in serious con- sequences.
THE NEW LOCAL SOLICITORS.
THE NEW LOCAL SOLICITORS. In our last issue we mentioned the fact that Messrs Parker and Company, of Newport (Mon.), had commenced business at Cadoxton- Harry. We have since learnt that the business at the new office of the firm is.carried on under the personal supervision of Mr Parker himself, who is in attendance daily during the usual hours of the profession. Mr Parker comes to Cadoxton, we understand, with a well-formed legal reputation, having had a large and lucrative police court and general practice at Newport for some years, and it is the intention of the new firm to thoroughly work the Cadoxton branch.
FETE AT GLASNEVIN.
FETE AT GLASNEVIN. CAPTAIN AND MRS. LTNDSAY ON THEIR WEDDING TOUR. INTERESTING PRESENTATION PROCEEDINGS. The inhabitants of Glasnevin and the surround- ing districts having learned that it was expected that Colonel Lindsay's eldest son, (Taptain Morgan Lindsay, R.E., and his bride would visit his ances- tral mansion on Thursday last, at Glasnevin, a marked display of the most affectionate feeling and respect was manifested by the people gener ally, and considering the short time available it was surprising to observe with what alacrity and rapidity the whole length of road, flom Cross Guns to Glasnevin House, was spanned at inter- vals with evergreen arches, bearing appropriate mottoes, such as Welcome to Glasnevin," May you be happy," "Cead mille failthe," &c., and profusely decorated with flags and banners. On the arrival of the bride and bridegroom in the village, at six o'clock, the horses were taken from the carriage amidst the cheers and huzzas of the people, and drawn by strong arms to his father's residence, where an address of welcome and con- gratulation, beautifully and artistically illumi- nated by Mr Fitzpatrick, of Sackville-street, Dublin, was read and presented by Dr Gogarthy in the name of the inhabitants, and also a beauti- ful silver epergne, with monogram, family crest, and date of presentation engraved thereon, the work of Messrs Waterhouse, Dane-street. After a suitable reply from Captain Lindsay in the open air—the assembly being too large for indoor accommodation—this interesting display of kind and affectionate feeling on the part of the people of Glasnevin for a highly-esteemed and popular family, was wound up by the usual display of fire- works and bonfires. Amongst those present were Colonel and Mrs. Lindsay, Sir P. J. Keenan and family, John Dennis, Esq., J.P., Dr Gogarthy, Messrs Carroll, Jarratt, Scally, Clune, M'Carthy, M'Donald, Reid, Hunt, Lennon, Mitchell, Lowe, Cunningham, Linnott, &c.—Irish Times.
SUICIDE OF A BARRY-BOUND SAILOR.
SUICIDE OF A BARRY-BOUND SAILOR. STRANGE CONDUCT ON THE HIGH SEAS. The ship Herat (Capt. Nicholson), which arrived at Barry on Sunday from Amsterdam, reports that Patrick Sheehy, sailor, supposed to have been suffering from delirium tremens, came aft one evening when in the North Sea, and told th captain that he had had some disagreement with his shipmates and was afraid they would take his life. The captain pacified him, and said they would not do him any harm, and allowed Sheehy to go to the wheel. The man stood his trick at the wheel, then went forward, and came aft again shortly afterwards with the same complaint about his shipmates. The captain took a sheath knife away from him and sent him forward. The man had only been forward a few minutes when the cry of Man overboard ?" was heard. Capt. Nicholson ordered a boat to be lowered, and all efforts were made to save the man—who proved to be Sheehy—but they were of no avail. De- ceased was a native of Limerick, and leaves a widow in New York City.
TERRIBLE QUARRY ACCIDENT AT…
TERRIBLE QUARRY ACCIDENT AT WENYOH THREE MEN HURLED TO ETERNITY. DETAILS OF THE CATASTROPHE. Soon after we went to press last week inform- ation reached us to the effect that an appalling accident had occured at the Alps Stone, Quarry, which is situated near the little village of Wenvoe, and that it had resulted in the death of three men employed thereat. NAMES OF THE KILLED. Those who met their untimely death on the occasion were: James Wills, 40, Ely, who left a wife with no family. George Richards, 45, Llandaif Yard, widow and seven children. Charles Harding, 30, Canton, widow (recently confined.) The- Western Mail, in describing the calamity says The Alps Quarry has been leased by Mr T. A. Walker, the contractor for the Barry Dock, from the Wenvoe Estate, and is situated about mid-way between Wenvoe and the well-known Culver House Cross. The operations conducted here are of a somewhat extensive scale. Stone is obtained from the side of a hill, and the face of the quarry presents an almost perpendicular fall of between 60ft. and 70ft. Nearly 200 hands are employed, and much of the stone is taken to Barry for the construction of certain works there. On Thursday three men, named Charles Harding, George Richards, and James Wills, were engaged in boring a hole for blasting purposes about 10ft. from the top of the face of the quarry. The pro- jection of the rock on which they stood appeared to be quite safe. The hole which they were boring was a particulaly large one, the" hit" of the drill deing 2iin. in diameter. It is suspected that the operation of boring dislodged some of the loose stone which supported the rock upon which the men were standing. All went well until about 12 o'clock, when, without any warning whatever, the rock gave way, and the three men were precipitated to the bottom of the quarry, a distance of very nearly 60ft. Large boulders fell upon them, and two of the men—Richards and Wills-were crushed in such a manner us to make them unrecognisable to their companions. The accident was witnessed by most of the men employed at the quarry, and every possible assis- tance was speedily rendered, ft was at once found that Wills was quite dead, but the other two men, notwithstanding the frightful injuries they had received, they were still breathing. A conveyance was procured to convey them to the Cardiff Infirmary. Richards, however, died about an hour after the accident, and before reaching Ely, Harding, who had sustained a com- pound fractur e of the skull and other injuries, died shortly after his admission into the Infirmary. Dr Neale, of Cadoxton, (the medical officer of the works), was immediately sent for to the scene of the accident, but human aid was of no avail. INKI EST ON THE BODIES. The inquiry into the fatality at the Alps Quarry, Wenvoe, whereby theee men, named George Richards, Charles Harding, and James Wills, lost thefr lives on Thursday, was opened on Saturday at the Cardiff Infirmary, before Mr H. LI. Grover, deputy-coroner. The death of Charles Harding was selected as a test case for the purposes of the inquiry. Mr Hughes, solicitor, Cadoxton, represpnted Mr T. A. Walker, owner of the quarry. Mr Griffiths, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the relatives of Wills, one of the deceased. Mrs Harding having indentified her husband, George Price, a workman at the quarry, gave evidence. He knew Harding by the name of "Gunner." At the time of the accident the men were boring a hole on the ledge, and Wills, who was his landlord, asked him to come and have a spell at the turning. Witness replied that after they had finished that round he would come on, and immediately afterwards the stone fell. They were boring straight down through the bed of stone. They had plenty of standing room. When the stone fell they dropped about 50 feet. Witness was sitting on a piece of rock quite close to them. The fact that he offered his services as a borer" showed that he believed that the stone was sound, and he would have had no hesitation in stepping on to it when his turn came. By the Foreman: The last "shot" that had been fired in that place was a big one, about nine a.m. The accident took place at noon. Witness was sitting at the top of the quarry, and the stone had not detached itself from the mainland all about. He worked in every place he was ordered, and would have gone on this particular stone. Ry Mr Griffiths: He had seen an accident occur in the quarry about eight weeks ago. He had offered to give Wills some assistance, merely out of friendship, as his own work was stopped. Wm. Hutchings residing at Wenvoe, foreman of the quarry, said that at the time of the acci- dent he was not near the deceased men. He saw the fall of the stone and the men coming down. Two hours pr eviously he had marked a stone in the vicinity of the place where the men were working, but he did not mark the stone they fell with. This latter had been loosened by the blast in the morning, but it was too large to be removed by any other means than" popping" which required a fresh hole to be bored. Witness had been foreman of the quarry for four years, and during that time there had been three fatal accidents. The present case was the only unpre- ventible accident that had occurred the others were due to negligence. By the Foreman There was a "silver joint" or narrow fissure in the under layer of stone, and had that not existed the stone would not have given way. It was not possible to see that joint at a distance of 12 feet. He had not been told that at the last inq nest the jury recommended that particular care should be exercised in work- ing on the face of the stone. Mr Griffiths Where were you working ?—Near the top of the quarry. Mr Griffiths (raising his voice): Now tell me, sir, where were you working. The Coroner: The witness has given a proper answer, and you must not use that bullying tone of voice here. Ask proper questions, and don't shout at people. This is not a police-court. Mr Griffiths If this comes to anything, I shall withdraw from the case. The Coroner I do not want to interfere with you, but you must ask sensible questions, and not address the witnesses in that fashion. John Hill, chargeman at the quarry, fired the blast at 9 a. m., which dislodged about 200 tons of stone. He had seen the three men working, had been in the place only half an hour before the accident, and considered that the affair could not have been prevented. If he saw anything or suspected danger, he always in- formed the foreman. The men had been boring for perhaps 20 minutes before the stone fell. He believed that the jarring of the hammer loosened the silver joint. Mr William Bushell. general manager for Mr T. A. Walker, was at the Alps Quarry when the accident took place. He picked the men up after they fell. At the inquest into a recent death he remembered the remarks of the jury, and informed Hutchins, the foreman of the quarry, of their recommendations. No absolute instructions regarding dangerous places could be given. Experienced quarrymen were supposed to take proper precautions. Mrs Richards, Llandaff Yard, identified the body of her husband who, she said, had been a quarryman for many years. The Coroner said he would offer no opinion on the case. The jury had heard full evidence, and they had also had the benefit of examining the quarry, so that they could form a fair and proper opinion on the matter. Without any hesitation the jury returned a verdict of Accidental death."

PENARTH POLICE COURT. Monday.—Before MR J. S.CORBKTT (Chairman), MAJOR THORNLEY AND MR J. PYKE THOMPSON. UNLICENSED PONIES ON PENARTH BEACH.—Mr James Court, on behalf of the Penarth Local Board, summoned George Healy, WTilliam Henry Sarlo, Jane Evans, Margaret Crawley, John Fisher, Thomas Roddy, Kate Morgan, Henry Matthews, Patrick Sullivan, Henry Hill, and Robert Smith, all of Penarth and Cogan, for ply- ing ponies for hire on Penarth beach without a license. Several of the defendants (some of whom appeared by proxy in the person of talkative mothers and sisters), maintained that they had applied to the authorities for licenses, but had been refused.—Patrick Sullivan said he also had applied for a license, and had been informed that he could ply on the beach until he had one; but the license never came.—Jane Evans said her pony was on the hill, and not on the esplanade, and she thought the authorities had nothing to do with the hill.—Insj>ector George Morgan proved most of the cases.—Mr Court explained that the number of licenses for beach ponies was restricted to 20, but the defendants had violated the bye-laws in defiance of the Board.—Fined 3s. each as a caution. PROVISIONAL LICENSE.—A provisional license was granted in connection with the Athletic Sports at Penarth on Wednesday.

OUT AND ABOUT.
OUT AND ABOUT. NOVEL METHOD OF ADVERTISING. As indicated in the Barry Dock News a fortnight ago my patronymic is Out and about." I am out and about everywhere, and still am nowhere— I am everybody, and still am nobody. One even- ing this week I was out and about on Cadoxton- Barry Common, when a little incident came under my notice which set me a-thinking, and while thinking I thought how singular it was under what simple circumstances the truth of some of our old Welsh and English adages are discovered. For instance, "The child is the father of the man." This old saying strikingly demonstrated itself to me as I sauntered about on the Common a-thinking. By-the-bye, the good folk of Cadox- ton-Barry are to be envied upon their possession of the Common—it is a lovely spot—one from which one of the most magnificent landscape and seascape prospects in Wales can be obtained—and yet the people of Cadoxton-Barry, as a rule, don't seem to appreciate this fact. Well, as I have said, I was out and about on the Common one evening this week, and something occurred which made me look—and the more I looked The more the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew." My attention was drawn to a little boy Hying a kite. That boy, I am inclined to think, is a budding genius. The kite floated serenely in the air, and as I watched its soft slowly-flitting movements I observed written thereon the words—Barry Dock News. The words struck me as somewhat familiar, for The name seemed so charming to me that I fancied I'd seen it before." J looked more intently, for my curiosity was all aglow, and as the kite lowered itself a little, I could see the sentence-Barry Dock News and Cadoxton Journal-. This boy certainly deserves a "free copy" of both local papers in perpetuity, for a more novel and original mode of advertising them I have not for a long time seen. INIGO JONES, WHICH? I was out and about on another evening this week, and, while walking up Iddesleigh-street, Cadoxton-Barry—(it should be noted that there are some high-sounding street-names in Cadoxton- Barry, and a "deep-sounding" one too in this particular case)—I met a friend who asked me how our musical friend, Mr Inigo Jones, was progress- ing after his recent mishap. I replied, when my friend proceeded to draw my attention to a strange coincidence which appeared in the issue of Tit- Bits of the 10th instant. Under the head of Trades of Genius," there appeared the sentence —Inigo Jones, the great architect was intended for a joiner." I suggested that it would better read—" Inigo Jones, the popular choral conductor of Cadoxton-Barry is a joiner." t
BUTCHERS AT LOGGERHEADS AT…
BUTCHERS AT LOGGERHEADS AT PENARTH. A TRIUNE CASE. On Monday last, at Penarth Police-court (before Mr J. S. Corbett, chairman, Major Thornley, and Mr J. Pyke Thompson), Henry Vowles, formerly a butcher carrying on business at Penarth, sum- moned Charles Barrow, a butcher's manager, of Penarth, for an assault. There was also a cross- summons for the same offence; and a further summons against both Vowles and Barrow for obstructing the highway at the time of the assault. Vowles, in the course of his evidence in the first case, said that on the 22nd of July he sold his Penarth business to Mr E. J. Poole, of Cardiff, and the latter appointed Barrow to manage the same The Magistrates' Clerk Explain the assault.—Vowles then said that on Saturday, the 27th of July, he was coming up Glebe-street, at about half-past eleven at night, and he stopped opposite the shop where he for- merly carried on business. He called Barrow out- side, and asked him if had received any accounts of his. Barrow said he had not. He asked him again, when he admitted receiving some money, saying that he had sold some salt meat which was in the house, and which did not belong to his master (Mr Poole). Asking him what he had done with the money, Barrow said he had given it to his master. He then cautioned Barrow that any money he would afterwards receive in his name should be handed over to him (complainant). He had authorised Barrow to receive money on his behalf. While he was talking to him Barrow deliberately took hold of both his hands, and tightly held them down, and afterwards pushed him ott' the pavement. He also received a blow in the mouth. The blow was inflicted by Barrow, and he had witnesses to prove the assault.—In cross-examination, Vowles said he didn't go into the shop at all he was only outside.—Defendant: The complainant politely came into the shop, and having asked me if I had received any money for him, he struck me.—Complainant I never came inside the door at all, neither did I srike you first.—John Griffiths was called as a witness for the prosecution, and said he saw Barrow push Vowles, and they had a few blows afterwards. He believed Barrow struck the first blow, although he could not say for certain.—Henry Bletso was also called in support, and he swore to Barrow having struck the first blow. The struggle be- tween the two men only lasted about half a minute. The second case was then gone into, and the parties chiefly interested were ordered to change places in the dock and prosecutor's box respectively.—Barrow declared that he was struck first, and proceeded to explain the circumstances leading up to the dispute, when he was requested by the Magistrates' Clerk to confine himself to the time of the assault. — In cross-examination, Barrow positively denied that he did strike the first blow. Vowles, he said, came into the shop, and, after exchanging some "words with him, seized him by the two arms, and pushed him up against a slab, and held him there, so that he could not have struck Vowles first.—Vowles Did you not tell me, when I first asked you, that you had received no money in my name ?—Barrow I have been requested by the Bench to confine myself to the time of the assault.—Vowles: Did you deny having received any money ?—Barrow That has nothing to do with the case. —The Bench (to Vowles) You have not summoned him for receiving money, but for an assault.—Edwin Bishop, confectioner, of 2, Glebe-street, Penarth, was then called by Barrow, and said he saw Vowles enter the shop, and threaten to strike Barrow. He also made use of obscene expressions, and raised and struck Barrow in the eye. The blow caused blood to flow. He also struck him on the head, and the effect of the blows were so severe that he thought he must have had a ring on his hand. Barrow was bleed- ing from both wounds. Barrow told Vowles not to strike him, because he would be sorry for it. He (witness) saw two policemen some distance off, and called them, telling the police to take .'Vowles into custody, but they did not. He thought the assault a most cowardly one. Vowles came to him (witness) afterwards, and threatened him for interfering. Vowles said he would "bash" his head for him.—Cross-examined I saw Barrow raise his hands, but you struck the first blow. I have no animosity towards you. You have carried on business next door to me for a long time, and we were always on good terms. I did not want to buy your business when you disposed of it. I never offered you any money for the business.— Vowles (to the Bench) This man and another tried to purchase my business, and because I would not sell it to them he has bad feeling towards me.—.John Limebeer deposed to seeing Vowles strike the first blow, and when he saw the police coming he ran away.-P.C. Charles Thomas said he and another constable saw the two men scuffling, but being some distance away they could not see who struck first. Barrow's face was bleeding. He did not see the first of the fight. P.C. Thomas then gave evidence as to the obstruction on the highway by the two men fighting. There were about a hundred persons there, and they caused an obstruction.—Vowles was found guilty of being the aggressor, and he was fined j51 and costs for the assault, and ordered to pay the costs in the obstruction case. The charge against Barrow was dismissed.
DASTARDLY OUTRAGE BY A WOMAN.
DASTARDLY OUTRAGE BY A WOMAN. FRIGHTFUL BUTCHERY WITH A REAP. ING riOOK. On Monday at Waterford Sergeant Montgomery arrested a woman, named Mary Macdonald, on the charge of having murderously attacked Michael Sutton with a reaping hook, inflicting injuries of a very serious nature. From Sutton's deposition it appears that he had an altercation with the woman, and she suddenly attacked him with a sharp reaping hook. To avert a terrific stroke at his neck, with it he raised his left hand, and the blade cut off his four fingers above the middle joints. The shock almost paral- ysed him, so much so that when she followed up the outrage by aiming another blow at his head, he had barely raised his arm to save himself when the instrument, coming in contact his wrist, almost severed the hand from the arm. Sutton fell insensible, and would have bled to death but for the timely arrival of Dr. White. He was during the evening removed to the City Hospital, where he lies in a very deplorable condition.

SINGULAR TENANCY DISPUTE AT…
SINGULAR TENANCY DISPUTE AT PENARTH. COUNTY COURT ACTION AT CARDIFF. DEFENDANT ALLEGED GUILTY OF A VERY SERIOUS OFFENCE. At Cardiff County Court on Tuesday (before Judge Owen), Mrs Anne Morgan, Pencoed, brought an action against Mrs Grant, Ivy-street, Penarth, to recover J315, half a year's rent of 52, Grove Terrace, Penarth, and 30s., value of a table which defendant was said to have removed when she left the premises. Mr Arthur Lewis (in- structed by Mr Hill) was for the plaintiff, and Mr George David defended.—With reference to the claim for rent, it appeared that the tenancy was verbal, and that it was terminated by a notice to quit given by defendant to plaintiff.—Mr David contended that there was no title.—The Judge But how can a tenant dispute a landlord's title ? Did he ever pay rent?—Mr David: Yes.—The Judge: Then how can he dispute title ?-Mr David said then he contended there should be a deduction made of JB6 for garden produce.—His Honour You cannot set that off against rent. It is a counter-claim.—Evidence was then given.— The defendant said the table had been given her as a consideration for certain things, but plaintiff could have it back.—Judgment was then given for the liDs claimed, to be reduced to Id when the article was returned. A receipt for 26 paid by defendant to plaintiff on going into the tenancy was put in, the defendant denying that the words "to be returned on giving up tenancy was on the receipt when it was given. -The Judge said this was a most serious affair, and ordered the receipt to be kept in court. He asked Mr David whether, under the circumstances, he would go on with the counter-claim.—Mr David, after consult- ing with his client, decided to go on. Defendant said the words had been added sometime after the receipt had been given, but with plaintiff's con- sent.—Judgment was given for the full amount claimed for rent, and 7s on the counter-claim. The Judge also gave plaintiff's costs, and, with regard to the receipt which had been altered, he said that was a matter which he should not pass over. He should retain the receipt in court. It was not his business to direct proceedings to be taken, but he could not believe a peison who altered a receipt in that manner. He was afraid a very serious offence had been committed.
CARDIFF TEACHERS AT DINAS…
CARDIFF TEACHERS AT DINAS POWIS. ENJOYABLE PROCEEDINGS. The members of the Cardiff and district branch of the National Union of Elementary Teachers held their ordinary meeting at Dinas Powis, on Satur- day last, when about 80 members were present. When business was over, some of the company visited the Castle ruins, Cwm George, The Twn- cin, and other places of interest in the locality, while others had a ramble, some over General Lee's grounds, and others over the grounds of Miss Rous, of Court-y-rala, and Mr Alexander, of Bryneithen. The tennis ground of the local club was kindly lent for the occasion, and many took advantage of it. A committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs Beavan, Mrs Butterworth, and Miss Role, provided a sumptuous tea for the visitors, after which dancing and games were in- dulged in until dusk, selections of music being rendered by the, Dinas Powis Brass Band, under the leadership of Mr Mockford. The dancing was continued in the schoolroom after dusk, and seveml songs were rendered. The company returned to Cardiff about ten o'clock, having thoroughly enjoyed the outing, the excellence of which, by the bye, was greatly due to the man- agers and teachers of the schools.

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT CAERPHILLY. On Saturday afternoon a sad fatality befel Mr Solomon Lewis, of Station-road, Caerphilly. Deceased was boring a hole at the top of the seam of coal in his stall, at the Cwmglo Colliery, Bedwas, when a fall partially buried him, causing injuries to such an extent that death in all proba- bility must have been instantaneous. A clod," 6ft. long by 2ft. thick, fell upon him, and it is no wonder that death resulted. His body was conveyed home in a cart.

THE DANGERS OF COUNTRY LIFE.
THE DANGERS OF COUNTRY LIFE. There is a popular belief that a man who lives in the country is in no danger of accidents. But experience shows that country life is as danger- ous as town life. Every farmer ought not only to insure his life, but insure himself against accidents. He is liable to be kicked by his horse, gored by his bull, thrown out of his trap and in the various farming operations he is in danger of spraining his ankle, cutting his fingers, and breaking his limbs. Extraordinary death from blood-poisoning is a not uncommon heading in country newspapers. A recent report states that whilst a farmer was giving a ball" to his horse, the tongue slipped, and when he withdrew his hand there were two scars on the knuckles caused by the horse's teeth." After a few days' illness, the poor fellow died from blood-poisoning. He was a young man, and left a widow and three children. Fortunately, as the reporters say, he had taken out an ACCIDENT POLICY FOR £1,000, and his family was not left totally unprovided for." Another newspaper reports a death caused by a fowl. It appeared," says the report, that the deceased was in the poultry run attached to his house, when a cock flew at him and scratched his thumb. The thumb swelled, and he went to a doctor, but notwithstanding his efforts the unfortunate man died from blood- poisoning. A verdict of accidental death was returned." Whichever way we turn, whatever we do, wherever we live, there is no escape from acci- dents. As Dr. Waters said a good many years ago— Dangers stand thick through all the ground To push us to the tomb, And fierce diseases wait around To huny mortals home. There were no Accident Companies in his day but if the good man had been alive to-day we have no doubt that he would have taken out an accident policy. At any rate, the necessity for insuring against accidents is obvious, and every man, whatever his occupation, whether he be in business or out of business, whether he travel or stay at home, should insure against accidents. The cost of a policy is trifling; the necessity for such a provision is evident great are the benefits in case of accident.

STANDARD ACCIDENT Insurance Company, Limited. HEAD OFFICE 42, POULTRY, CHEAPSIDE, LONDON. RPHIS Company transacts Accident Business in A every department. Accidents happen every hour of the day and night all the year round, from an increasing variety of causes, and no person, whatever his calling or occupation, is exempt from risk. An Accident causes loss of time and money; it interferes with intellectual, professional, commer- cial, and mechanical pursuits it is attended with increased expense in every case, and, in too many instances, with serious loss of income. There- fore, EVERY PRUDENT MAN INSURES AGAINST ACCI- DENTS OF ALL KINDS, because, by a small Annual outlay, he ensures the payment of a fixed sum in case of Death or Per- manent Disablement, or weekly Compensation in the event of Temporary Disablement. The Standard Accident Insurance Company offers a Policy FREE FROM IRKSOME AND VEXATIOUS CONDITIONS, the Company having determined to face the insuring public in a BROAD AND LIBERAL SPIRIT, and a STANDARD POLICY," in addition to Insur- ing against Accidents of all kinds by land and water, will cover the risk, fatal or otherwise, of ATTEMPTED MURDER or ATTACKS BY BURGLARS. A "Standard Policy," after the Completion of the Fifth Year will be World-wide as regards fatal Accidents, an advantage offered by no other Company. The" STANDARD POLICY." JB4 per annum insures under Class 1 as follows :— £1,000 on Accidental Death. £1,000 on Permanent Total Disablement. JB500 on Permanent Partial Disablement. j36 per week during Temporary Total Disable- ment. £110s per week during Temporary Partial Dis- ablement. EARLY SPECIAL BONUS TO ALL POLICY HOLDERS. On the Second Year's Premium 5 per cent. Third „ „ 7! „ Fourth 10 EXTRA SPECIAL BONUS TO NON- CLAIMANTS On the Fifth Year's Premium 15 per cent. Sixth and Future Year's Premium 20 So long as no claim arises under the Policy. The usual Bonus in other Offices is 10 per cent. after five annual premiums have been paid. Policy-holders in the STANDARD incur no risks of partnership. DEFINITION OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISABLEMENT. Accidental Death, under a General Accident Policy, arises as the direct result of bodily injury received through violent, accidental, external, and visible means. Under a Railway Policy, death arises through injury received by an acci- dent happening to the train by which the insured is travelling. In either case death must take place within THREE MONTHS of the accident. Permanent Total Disablement implies the loss by actual separation of both hands, or of both feet, or of one hand and one foot, or the complete and irrecoverable loss of sight in both eyes through accident. Temporary Total Disablement occurs when, through accidental bodily injury, the insured is totally incapacitated from attending to business of any kind. Temporary Partial Disablement arises when the injury received does not wholly prevent the in- J sured from attending to business, or begins when Total Disablement ceases, and he can attend to some portion of his usual profession or occupation, but not the whole. INTIMATION OF CLAIMS. Claims must be sent to the Head Office as soon as possible after the Accident. Where notice is not received within Twenty-one days, a fair and reasonable explanation of the delay must be given, but under no circumstances will the Company be liable for any Claim unless notice thereof be received within Three Months after the occurrence of the Accident. Under the Marine Policies, notice must be received within Six Months after the Accident. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. FATAL AND PERMANENT DISABLEMENT CLAIMS are paid on proof. Most other offices pay Three Months after proof. The Temporary Disablement Allowances continue during such Disablement only, and in no case beyond Twenty-six Weeks for any one Accident. The Allowances are paid m one sum on the recovery of the insured, but the Directors are prepared to effect a settlement at once in accordance with the medical certificates, or as may be agreed. No tediowt or unnecessary formalities in settling claims. LIMITS OF TRAVEL. The Policies of the Company cover the risk of accident of any kind, and the insured is permitted to travel anywhere by Land or Water within the United Kingdom or on the Continent of Europe, and to voyage from one European Port to another, or to the Azores, the Canaries, and the Cape de Verde Islands. PERMITS FOR THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. Policy-holders are allowed to cross the Atlantic, and to reside in the United States and Canada, and to return to this country within Six Months on payment of an Additional Premium of Is 6d per cent. on the Sum insured at Death. The Allowances for non-fatal injuries are not suspended under these permits. PERMITS FOR FOREIGN LANDS. For Countries beyond the limits of Europe, other than the United States and Canada, permits are granted to Policy-holders at moderate rates. The Weekly Allowances for non-fatal injuries are, however, suspended under such permits. MARINE AND WORLD-WIDE POLICIES. Policies are issued insuring a sum at death by Accident of any kind on board ship (including Shipwreck), to Passengers on a voyage to any part of the World. World-wide Policies, covering the Risk of Accidents of all kinds in every part of the Globe, are also issued. AGENT FOR CADOXTON AND BARRY :— LEWIS, T EWIS, BARNETT BUILDINGS, CADOXTON. jjoieis, &t.
