CONVERSAZIONE AT THE GROSVENOR…
CONVERSAZIONE AT THE GROSVENOR MUSEUM. 0 SPEECHES BY THE BISHOP AND MR. G. WYNDHAM, M.P. The twenty-sixth annual conversazione of the Chester Society of Natural Science and Litera- ture was held at the Grosvenor Museum, on Wednesday evening. The crowded attendance left no doubt as to the growing popularity of this interesting gathering, and as to the in- creased interest which is being aroused in the excellent work of the society. The company during the evening must have numbered over 800, and the crush, particularly in the entrance hall, was so great that, while recognising the convenience oi having the exhibition in the permanent home of the society, one would have preferred the ampler breathing space of the Town Hall. The exhibition itself was admiraby arranged, and afforded infinite pleasure to the visitors, of whom the ladies enjoyed the large preponderance. There were several new departures in the programme, and the most attractive was undoubtedly Mr. J. D. Siddall's exhibition of animated photographs with the bioscope, a kind of improved animatographe. This novelty proved an immense attraction, the lecture theatre being densely crowded at each of the three exhibitions. 1 he instrument was manipulated with conspicuous success, a bull fight and a bathing scene at Milan being repro- duced with really remarkable fidelity, and equalling in realism anything that has so far been achieved by either animatographe or cine- matographe. Sandwiched with these were some admirable photographs of still objects, including Mr. J. H. Spencer's pictures of the recent Royal visit to Hawarden, as well as views of Chester on Jubilee day and the distribution of prizes at the Chester Regatta, in which the portraits were wonderfully life-like. Needless to say Mr. Siddall was rewarded for the trouble and expense to which he had gone to entertain the audience, with repeated salvos of applause. While speaking of photography, we may men- tion another equally attractive novelty exhibited by Mr. Spencer, in the shape of coloured views. This is the invention of Mr. Frederick Ives, and the instrument, which is something like a camera in outward appearance, is one in which transparent and uncoloured photos on slides are placed, while the observer looks through the stereoscope-like lenses in front. Red, green, and blue-violet glasses are interposed, and the light passing through them, the slides take up the natural colours of the object, which appears, when looked at in this way, as tangible as the real article. It seems that the photos are taken first through, say, a red screen, and afterwards separately through screens of green and violet- blue. These, of course, are the primary colours, and the chemical values of the colours, thus being transferred to the photos or krdmograms, are taken up in the manner described. The objects which Mr. Spencer shewed with such success, included a vase of fruit and flowers, all the tints of which were marvellously clear. The chief feature of the exhibition in con- nection with the Chester Guild of Arts and Crafts was a collection lent by the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, including Maclure Hamilton's portrait of himself, Burne Jones's picture of Miss Dorothy Drew, a handsome vase made by workmen of Burslem and presented to Mr. Gladstone some years ago, the gold inkstand presented to him by the Prince and Princess of Wales, an old watch in porcelaine case belonging to the late Mrs. Glynn, a watch with diamonds and emeralds given to Mrs. Gladstone by the Shah of Persia, another present in the shape of a brooch received from Sir Edward Watkin, a beautiful Indian silver casket which contained a complimentary address, and a tiny tea service manufactured out of a gold piece by a workingman admirer of the G.O.M. The same department was enriched by a col- lection of drawings, consisting mainly of botanical subjects, but also including water- colour landscapes, lent by Professor Ruskin. Some of the Professor's own works were also exhibited by his publisher, Mr. George Allen, while Mr. T. Cann Hughes added considerably to the interest displayed in this section by forwarding some of Randolph Caldecott's inimitable drawings and other sketches of a local character. In the Art School was seen a very effective display of cut herbaceous flowers, berry bearing shrubs, &c., by Mrs. Townshend Ince, Miss Humberston, Mrs. Potts, Mr. A. O. Walker, Mr. Worker (Mollington Hall), Mr. James Yates (Grosvenor Park), Messrs. Dicksons, &c. The fine weather which has been experienced of late has, of course, been favourable to the development of these beauti- ful autumn flowers and shrubs, and the specimens shewn were exceptionally fine. To those interested in the science of electricity the room devoted to this branch of the Museum work exercised an irresistible fascination. Here Mr. J. A. McMichael, with the assistance of Mr. F. J. Jones, of Frodsham-street, had arranged a up ique exhibition of miscellaneous apparatus, demonstrating many of the uses to which the electric current may be adapted. It is interesting to learn that during the last three or four years, and par- ticularly since the installation of the electric light system n the city, the interest in this branch of the Museum teaching has largely developed, especially among the Post Office employes, who are now offered pecuniary advantages for passing in electricity. The apparatus shewn included working models of the three-wire system adopted in Chester, and the simple two-wire system made by Mr. McMichael himself for use in his class, also a model showing the effect of resistance, a variety of bells, and burglar and fire alarms, a toy motor-car, telephones, demonstrating the stages of perfection through which this instrument has passed from its infancy, &c. Altogether, the exhibition was a most creditable one, evincing the thoroughly practical nature of the teaching afforded at the Museum, and we are pleased to learn that a large portion of the special grant voted by the Corporation this year will be spent upon providing the most complete electrical apparatus for the benefit of the students. The work of Mr. R. Newstead (the curator) is, of course, in evidence in almost every depart- ment of the Museum. His splendid life histories of birds are too well known to need more than a passing allusion on this occasion, but he had added also, since the last con- versazione, drawings of British scale insects, prepared for a monograph about to be published by the Ray Society. These formed a general theme of admiration, and will undoubtedly establish his reputation as the head of all specialists in that branch of scientific work. In the same room were to be seen drawings illustrative of natural history subjects by Mr. C. K. Baillie and Miss G. M. Siddall, the latter of whom, a daughter of Mr. J. D. Siddall, was the designer of the very artistic front page of the programme, introducing portraits of the founder of the society, and the president for the year, Mr. Thos. Shepheard. The micros- copical display in the art gallery was the largest that has ever been brought together under the society's auspices, and there was also a good exhibition of prints, transparencies by well-known members of the photographic section. Much interest was as usual shewn in the work of the art and technical students, the latter being seen at work under the supervision of Mr. J. W. Marriott. There were many other features of the programme which space pre- cludes us from commenting upon, but mention should not be omitted of the rare collection of moths and butterflies from Poona, exhibited by Mr. J. Arkle, and of the fossil footprints of an extinct reptile, recently acquired from the fine collection of the late Mr. Oamond Jeffs. The lecture theatre was densely crowded at eight o'clock, when the general meeting of the society was held, under the presidency of Mr. Thos. Shepheard, on whose right and left sat Lady Lettice Grosvenor and Mr. Geo. Wyndham, M.P. There were also present the Lord Bishop, Mr. W. H. Verdin (High Sheriff of Cheshire), the Sheriff of Chester (Mr. J. F. Lowe) and Mrs. Lowe, Dr. Dobie, senr., Dr. W. H. Dobie, Mr. A. O. Walker, Dr. Stolterfoth, Mr. G. R. Griffith, &c. Apologies for absence were received, among others, from the Mayor (Mr. B. C. Roberts), Mr. R. A. Yerburgh, M.P., Sir Horatio Lloyd, General Swaine, Mr. Geo. Barbour, and Col. Davies Cooke. The PRESIDENT, after a few opening remarks, called upon Lady Lettice Grosvenor to make the following presentations:- The Kingsley Memorial Medal, awarded for having contri- buted materially to the promotion and advance- ment of some branch or department of natural science,' to Dr. W. Henry Dobie; the Kingsley Memorial prize (£5 5s.) to Mr. Alfred Newstead (brother of the Museum curator), for a collec- tion of life-histories of insects the president's 'Jubilee' prize (£5), to Mr. A. E. Goodman, for a collection of microscopical botanical preparations. The LORD BISHOP, in moving a vote of thanks to Lady Lettice for her kindness, said he was not going to overwhelm her with thanks, but he should congratulate her upon having thus early and graciously begun a career of public help- fulness, which they hoped might be continued through a long life. (Applause.) It was the best wish they could bestow upon her that this might be her ambition through life, in all quiet, homely, womanly ways to serve the public weal. Speaking of the work of the curator of the Museum, his Lordship doubted very much whether it was sufficiently realised by Chester and the neighbourhood of Chester that in Mr. Newstead they possessed a very real treasure. Though Mr. Newstead was far too modest to lay claim to be regarded as a man of genius, he had all that infinite and loving patience and perseverance which went to con- stitute genius, and he had that imagination which also was an essential part of genius; and he (the Bishop) felt sure they in Chester ought to learn to prize Mr. Newstead more than they did at present. He was as they knew curator of that museum. What did that mean? It meant that he must have the many-sided gifts to keep touch with the Museum in all its many branches of art and science, to be able to expand with its expansion, and to inspire to a very considerable extent, and to guide that expansion. Then, besides that, he was the consulting naturalist of the neighbourhood. He (the Bishop) was looking over the programme of the Paxton Society very recently, and there he saw Mr. Newstead down as consulting naturalist. Mr. Newstead had been a pioneer in the study of the history and younger life of various mis- chievous insects, and he thought if there was a powerful educational influence within those walls it was the influence of Mr. Newstead. Let them go into the natural history museum, take a child or a grown man in there, and to become acquainted with Mr. Newstead's marvellous setting of birds was in itself a liberal educa- tion. Then again Mr. Newstead was a man of utility almost throughout the county, for there was a time when the County Council availed themselves of his services as a lecturer upon insects, and he imagined that was rather a bright time for the education of the county. He could not help thinking that as yet Mr. Newstead's services were not as adequately recognised as they ought to be, and as he was quite sure the governing body of the Museum would wish to remunerate and recognise them if only they had the power. It was not for him to say exactly how their duty was to be done, but he thought the Jubilee year would be about as well commemorated in Chester by the recog- nition of a man as by the doubtful recognition of an arch. (Laughter.) He had always under- stood that it was an ungenerous thing to hit a man or a thing when he or it was down. That strange structure was down-long might it remain down. (Laughter.) In these days we were a great deal too ready to betake ourselves to bricks and mortar, and overlook the individual. In this case he for one ventured to think the Diamond Jubilee year would not be passed worthily by till the merits of Mr. Newstead were more adequately recognised by the city and perhaps the county of Chester. (Applause.) In con- clusion his Lordship paid reference to the en- quiry now being held into the pollution of the Dee, and said everyone would agree—Water Company and water consumers as well-that if our water supply was to come out of the Dee, no sewage should be allowed to go into the river, either from above or below the weir. Therefore they welcomed the Local Government Board inspectors, in order that they might give their powerful assistance to our County Council and City Council in freeing the Dee from this pollution, which, despite the great trouble taken by the Water Company to make the water perfectly clear, might con- ceivably land Chester some day in the position of Maidstone. While they were there under the auspices of Charles Kingsley, they could not dream of sitting down under that peril. (Ap- plause.) Mr. W. H. VERDIN seconded the proposition, which was carried with enthusiasm. Mr. GEORGE WYNDHAM, after acknowledging the compliment on behalf of Lady Grosvenor, expressed the regret of the Countess at her own unavoidable absence. It was already ten years ago since he attended one of those pleasant gatherings. Every year they thought that nothing new could happen, but every year they discovered a new landmark. The first landmark he recollected was the first official recognition by that society in any shape or form of the services of Mr. Newstead, whose great gifts and long life of industry and successful achievement they all reverenced and respected. Another landmark was the occasion on which their energetic secretary succeeded in waylaying a travelling fraternity of geologists drawn from all nations who were travelling from America to Europe, and were delighted to attend that society's gathering. They had again a land- mark when the society came of age, and two years ago they had that great landmark, namely, the first meeting in the Grosvenor Museum, where so much had been brought together under one roof, and where the various societies which inhabited it worked with the utmost goodwill and equal profit. (Applause.) Last year he failed to attend that gathering, owing to his absence in South Africa. He was glad to be in South in South Africa. He was glad to be in South Africa then, but he was glad to be here now, to associate himself with them in some little measure in recognising the great services which Dr. Harry Dobie had rendered, not this year only, but during many years, in the cause of science. (Applause.) It was not enough that the members of his family worked in the field of the most noble science known to man. They must go outside it, and whether in astronomy, or botany, or biology, they won fresh honours. It was nothing novel and nothing strange for them to recognise those honours with all the respect which was due to the services rendered by the Dobie family to science—yes, and with a great deal of warmth and personal affection and gratitude, for he (the speaker) was perhaps not the only man in that room who owed to the family a debt which he could never repay. (Applause.) But Dr. Harry Dobie bad won his victory in that field of science which had given to that society and to that Museum probably its most attractive feature. He had written a very interesting monograph upon the birds which were to be found in the district in which their, society worked, in this part of Cheshire, in Flintshire, and in Denbighshire. They might read his work in the fourth volume of the proceedings of the society, where he had set out more than one thousand separate observa- tions. He had not only written, but he had observed, and the collections which they saw upstairs were most beautiful as well as interesting. (Applause.) Mr. A. O. WALKER proposed, and Dr. STOLTERFOTH seconded, a cordial vote of thanks to the President, who had travelled all the way from Bournemouth in order to be present, and the compliment was accorded with enthusiasm. In acknowledging the honour which the society had conferred upon him, Dr. HENRY DOBIE said if he had been able to do any little work in connection with one small department of natural history, to which he had all his life been devoted, it was really the society which he had to thank for the encouragement it offered him to do work which he should certainly otherwise never have attempted, and he must say it was Mr. Newstead who had turned any specimens of science which he obtained into works of art in that museum. The election of 25 new members concluded the proceedings, but the company remained in their seats to witness Mr. Siddall's animated photographs. Praise should be given to the energetic hon. general secretaries, Messrs. G. P. Miln and W. F. J. Shepheard, and the assistant secretary, Mr. T. Higginson, for the efficiency with which all the arrangements were carried out.

'Britons never shall be slaves" is one of the most popular of our national songs, and, as a matter of fact, it is impossible for slavery to exist under the protecting shadow of the British flag. In the same manner, men cannot remain bound by the tyrannic shackles of disease, if they will place themselves under the healing influence of Holloway's Pills and Ointment.

ISAAC GORDON AGAIN. 0 1,200 PER CENT. At a meeting of the creditors of Dr. George John Wilson, of Oxford, on Tuesday, it was stated that the liabilities amounted to zC9,817 16s. 2d., the receiving order having been made on the petition of Isaac Gordon, money-lender. The Official Receiver said debtor received in cash E2,442 10s. from Gordon, and repaid principal moneys amounting to 91,702 10s., interest on cash advanced iE3,2,34 8s. 6d., and there still remained due to Gordon on judg- ments obtained the sum of £ 1,443 11s. 6d. The interest ranged from 133 to 1,200 per cent. The bankrupt had been hunted and worried by Gordon for his money, and had received threatening and most abusive letters.
CESTRIAN AMATEUR MINSTREL…
CESTRIAN AMATEUR MINSTREL SOCIETY. + The third annual general meeting of the Cestrian Amateur Minstrel Society was held at the Hop Pole Hotel on Thurs- day evening. Mr. N. C. Firth presided, and there was a good muster of perform- ing members and several vice-presidents of the society. It appeared from the third annual report and balance sheet that during the past year the committee had paid over the following amounts £ 51 10s. to the Chester Infirmary, per Hospital Saturday Com- mittee 926 Os. 7d. to the Crippled Children's Fund; and JE24 to the Ancient Orders of Foresters, making a satisfac- tory total of E101 10s. 7d., and a total for the three seasons of £ 358 12s. In addition to these, performances were given in aid of local objects at Guilden Sutton, the Campbell Memorial Hall, Boughton, Thornton-le-Moors, and Ellesmere Port, which realised handsome sums, but these did not pass through the committee's hands, and therefore are not included in the balance sheet. The society closed the year with a slight favour- able balance, but a considerable addition has been made to its properties. The report and balance-sheet were adopted, and a resolution was passed expressing sympathy for the society's chairman (Mr. John Jones, Boughton) over bis accident and subsequent illness, and hoping for his speedy recovery.—The officers were elected as follows:—President, Mr. R. A. Yerburgh, M.P.; chairman, Mr. John Jones (Boughton); hon. secretary, Mr. T. Wooliscroft (Hop Pole Hotel) hon. treasurer, Mr. George Baguley trustees, Messrs. T. Woolliscroft and N. C. Firth; committee, Messrs. J. Butcher, W. H. Hallmark, J. Kendall, J. Phillips, N. Hull, sen., Fred. C. Barlow, E. D. Shepherd, Rowley, Loui Parry, and H. H. Smith.—Several new members were proposed, but there still remains vacancies for some six voices in the chorus. The society hopes to get to work during the next week, and has every prospect of a useful and successful season.
MR. T. ELLIS, M.P., ON THE…
MR. T. ELLIS, M.P., ON THE WELSH LANGUAGE. 4 Mr. Thomas Ellis, M.P., addressed the members of the Cymdeithas Cymry Caer, in the St. John-street Schoolroem, Chester, on Thurs- day evening upon Some considerations about the home language of the Cymry.' The Presi- dent (Mr. J. Ambrose Lloyd) occupied the chair. Mr. Ellis, who was cordially received, said he wished to press home upon the minds of his hearers what seemed to him to be one of the most notable social phenomena in the life of Western Europe-the vitality of the home language of the Cymry. No language in Europe had been sub- jected to a more varied and persistent policy of repression. Every avenue to the heart, brain, and soul of the Cymry had been utilised for the extirpation of their language, and no appeal to self interest or worldly profit or social success had been neglected in order to compass the disappearance of the language. Among the potent factors that had been ) brought into requisition in the prosecution of this policy were the Church, the execu- tive Government, the judicature, educa- tion, the industrial revolution in Wales, the immigration of capitalists, workmen and artisans, the constant pressure arising from the impatience and almost lofty contempt of Englishmen at the use of any lan- guage other than their own, and the more humane influence of the inflow of the literature and journalism of England. In the face of these influences, in the face of the public opinion of a great, powerful, dominant race like England, making a dead and almost con- temptuous set against the speaking of the Welsh language, he stood amazed at the vitality of the Welsh language in Wales and out of it at the present day. No system of education for Wales would be complete until in every town and village where Welsh was spoken an opportunity was afforded of learning to read and write Welsh correctly at some period of the school course. He desired to press home the point that Welsh educa- tionalists would only bring disillusionment upon themselves, and the adverse, if not con- temptuous, verdict of after ages if they failed to recognise the palpable dominant fact of the vitality and resurgent force of the Welsh language. (Applause.)
SAD TERMINATION TO A HOLIDAY.…
SAD TERMINATION TO A HOLIDAY. ♦ CHILD KILLED AT CHESTER. A shocking street accident occurred in Chester on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. J. Edward Telfar, who resides at Greenside, Holyhead, and is employed as first mate on one of the steamers ) plying between Holyhead and Dublin, had, together with Mrs. Telfar, been staying with their nine months' old child, John Philip Telfar, at the house of a friend in King-street, Chester. With the intention of proceeding to Holyhead, < they walked towards Chester Station. At the time, Mrs. Telfar was wheeling her child in a J mailcart, and when passing the end of Egerton- 1 street a horse, which was one of three belonging to a Chester horse dealer, made a plunge, and kicked the child out of the cart. The poor little fellow was dreadfully injured about the head, and was removed in an unconscious condition to Chester Infirmary, where he died early on < Thursday morning. i THE INQ UEST. DANGERS OF LED HORSES. The inquest was held by Mr. Brassey on Friday, when evidence was given by the child's mother, Mrs. Telfar. She said she had just reached the crossing when the horses were passing, and she waited for them to go, and when witness thought they had gone by she moved on and had proceeded half-way across the street when the last horse, which was a little behind the others, backed and kicked out. The child was strapped in the cart.— Similar evidence was given by Mr. Telfar and others who saw the accident.—Wm. Jones, in the employ of his brother, Henry Jones, horse dealer, Eaton-road, said he led the string of horses, which was composed of three cart horses and a pony. The CORONER Have you ever had any warn- ing about taking any horses in this way ?- Witness: I have been told many times by policemen about the town not to take more than three horses in a string. The CORONER: Don't you think even three would make a pretty lengthy string in a narrow street ?—Witness It is quite enough sir; but I have to do what the master says. I am'onlv a servant man. A Juror: Don't you think two horses enough to be managed by one man ?-Witness: Yes, but then if we had twenty horses we should have to have ten men at that rate. In summing up the evidence the CORONER made some remarks about the danger of strings of horses being led aleng the narrow streets of the city, and the jury, in returning a verdict of 'Accidental death,' expressed an opinion that two horses were quite enough for one man to manage. They wished the coroner to confer with the Chief Constable on the subject. They also deeply sympathised with the bereaved parents.

A CHESTER WOMAN'S MYSTERIOUSI…
A CHESTER WOMAN'S MYSTERIOUS END. ♦ THE RESUMED INQUEST. REMARKABLE EVIDENCE. VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. Mr. Brassey resumed the inquest at the Town Hall on Wednesday afternoon on the body of Maria Culm, who met with her death under mysterious circumstances in Stock's-lane, Boughton, on Friday evening week. There was a large attendance of the general public. Dr. Giffen said he had made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased. He found that the brain and membrane were healthy; that there was a large quantity of blood in the right side of her chest; that the fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs were fractured, a sharp fragment of the fourth rib having pene- trated the right lung; that her heart was normal; that her liver and spleen were ruptured in several places, and that there was a cut on her head and a bruise on her thigh. There was nothing at all to cause deceased to faint on the road. For a woman of her age the organs were very healthy. Supposing all these injuries had been inflicted at once, deceased could not have lived more than five minutes. The wounds were, in his opinion, inflicted from the front. His opinion was that possibly the woman was walk- ing down Stock's-lane, and on hearing a vehicle coming down had turned round. Very likely the horse had hit her and she had fallen down, the wheel passing across her body from left to right. On her cloak there was the mark of a wheel running across. It was quite possible that an ordinary two wheeled shandry could cause the injuries. The bruise on the hip was the only external evidence of the deceased hav- ing been knocked down. He thought the cut on the head had been caused by a fall on a stone. He could find NO TRACE OF ALCOHOL about deceased. By the CHIEF CONSTABLE (Mr. Fenwick) A wheel passing over the woman's chest would account for the broken ribs and the lacerated liver. By the CORONER He did not think it at all likely that deceased had been struck by a weapon of any kind. If the injuries had been caused in that way, there would have been external marks. By a Juror The cut on the head had nothing to do with her death, as the skull and brain were all right. John Heath, fishmonger, 8, Linenhall-street, on being cautioned by the coroner that he was at liberty to give evidence or not, as he thought fit, elected to give evidence. Witness stated that on this occasion he went out with Evan Totty, fishmonger, of Sty-lane, in a two-wheeled trap like a little dogcart. The vehicle and pony belonged to Totty, who was driving. They drove to Mouldsworth, and got back about half-past eight or nine, but he was not quite certain as to the time, because they were both heavy on' in drink. For the same reason he was not certain if they drove back by way of Stock's- lane. They had BRANDIES AND SODAS AND BEER to drink-about six of the former and four glasses of beer. They might have had some whisky. They started drinking at three o'clock at the Bars publichouse, where they each had a glass of beer. He did not know where they went to from there. If he had told Inspector Gallagher that they went to Mouldsworth to get some rabbits, he must have been mistaken. They went for a drive on pleasure. They bought some rabbits on the way, but witness did not know who they were bought from. After leaving the Bars they went up Christleton- road, but witness did not know where they drove to, because he was 'properly mixed.' They drove about eight miles. When they were returning, and were near Chester, Totty turned down a lane, but witness said he wanted to go to Chester, and they turned round. They had no lamps in the trap. They were both sitting in the front, and there was no one else in the trap. Witness did not know where Stock's-lane was. He knew Constable McGowan, and had had a conversation with him that morn- ing. He did not tell McGowan that they had RUN OVER A WOMAN. McGowan asked him if he was in the lane, and witness said Oh, very well, if you want me to I say I was in the lane, I will say so." He did not, however, know the lane, neither had he any recollection of being in a lane. Coming home, they never wqnt near the White House or the Bed House. The CORONER Did you run over anybody ?- No, I don't think so. Why are you not sure ?-I am certain sure. Did you tell P.C. McGowan that Totty had run over a woman ?-No. Are you sure ?-He told me to say so, but I said I don't know." (Laughter and' Oh.') If you were 'certain sure,' why did you not tell McGowan ?-He wanted to make me say so; he would have me say so. Why did he press me? You did not know whether you had run over a woman or not ?-No. You want to convey to the jury that you may have run over a woman and not have known it ? —Yes. Replying to further questions, witness said I he did not know if they called at Parker's, the Mount, Sandy-lane, coming home, and had a drink. They got to the Bars about nine o'clock, and after having a drink went home. He had not spoken to Totty about this affair. The pony was going at the rate of three miles an 1 hour. (Laughter.) TOTTT 8 EVIDENCE. Evan Totty, fishmonger, 8, Greenway-street, Handbridge, said he had a pony and trap, and went on Friday, not for a drive, but to buy some rabbits. The last witness accompanied him. He went to Mr. Harrison, gamekeeper, Ashton Hayes, Park, Mouldsworth, to buy the rabbits. It did not matter if Heath said they went on pleasure; witness was telling the truth. At the Bars they had a glass of beer, and then went up the Tarvin-road to Stamford Bridge Inn, where they had a glass of beer. They then went to a public in Tarvin, where they had another glass of beer. After that Heath paid for drinks round. They then went to a public at Ashton, where they had a beer; and afterwards to Mouldsworth, where they had two whiskies and sodas each. After buy- ing the rabbits at Ashton Hayes they went back to the Mouldsworth Hotel, where they had a whisky and soda each. Thev than came home. Their first stop was at Tarvin, where they had a glass of beer each. At Stam- ford Bridge they had another one, and at Cherry Orchard they had a drink of beer. He offered a couple of rabbits here, but the landlord would not buy them. Here the pony jumped across the road, and he was told they went down Stocks-lane. They did not see any woman. The next place he knew anything about was the Bars, and it would be about twenty to eight. His mother told him on Monday afternoon that he went down Stocks-lane. She said she had been told in Boughton. The pony was a very nervous animal. He was drunk that night. He could not say whether he drove straight down Christleton-road from Cherry Orchard. Neither could he say whether he drove to the White House and came back by Sandy-lane, nor if he stopped at Parker's, the Mount, and had a drink. He was TOO DRUNK TO RECOLLECT what he was doing. He did not recollect turning down a side lane after leaving Cherry Orchard, and Heath saying What are you going this way for?" and turning back again. He was not aware he was refused drink at Cherry Orchard. His trap was a little shandry, and would not hurt a baby let alone a woman.' He had 28 rabbits in the trap. Heath, recalled, said after leaving the Bars they drove up Christleton-road. He admitted he was not quite sober at three o'clock in the afternoon. He did not know the way to Mouldsworth, although he had lived all his life in Chester. Elizabeth Fanny Taylor, wife of John Taylor, landlord of the Cherry Orchard Inn, said on Friday, about half-past seven, Totty and Heath came to her house. They had two small whiskies and a small soda split. When they first came in she thought they were sober, but after they were supplied she could see that they bad had a little to drink. They did not stay more than five minutes. John Taylor, husband of the previous witness, corroborated. Emma Gerrard, wife of Joseph Gerrard, of Chapel-lane, said on the evening in question she was in her shop. Shortly before eight o'clock she saw Totty and Heath eome out of the Cherry Orchard. Some boys drew her attention to the fact that Totty's horse was steaming as if he had been running hard. She thereupon told Totty to get into the trap and go home. Both men were in drink. They got into the trap, and WENT INTO STOCK'8 LANB, that being the last she saw of them. Martha Elizabeth Owen, Dee Banks, said on the evening in question a trap drove past her in Stock's-lane, having in it two men. They were going very quickly. It was then getting dark. Witness walked on, and on getting three-parts down the lane she heard some one groan. Witness was then on the right side of the road, and on going across the road she found a woman lying on her back. The woman was alive, but could not speak. Witness saw only one trap both going and coming. Elizabeth Thomas, another girl, who happened to be going down Stocks-lane on Friday night with the last witness, deposed to seeing a two- wheeled trap, containing two men, pass her. They were driving furiously. About two minutes after the trap had passed she heard someone groaning, and on going across the road she found Mrs. Culm lying on her back, but alive. She died while witness was with her. There was no one else with the deceased. William Conway, a boy, living on Boughton Heath, also deposed to seeing a trap in Stock's- lane, driven at a fast rate by two men in drink. Lily Parker, wife of the landlord of the Mount Inn, Boughton, said that the two men came in a trap to her house. One of them (Totty) came in and asked for a drink, but witness REFUSED TO SERVE HIM. The horse's head was pointing towards the city. They drove from her house to the city. Clifford Wright, Sandy-lane, said he saw a trap on Friday night coming up Sandy-lane towards Chester. They were trying to make the horse go quickly. Samuel Williams, a companion of the last witness, gave similar testimony. Mary Dentith, the Bank, Sandy-lane, said the deceased called at a house at which witness was working, about half-past six on Friday night, but witness did not see her. John Ellis, who gave evidence at the opening, was re-called. He had since then seen Totty's trap, and it was the same trap he saw on the road. The CORONER, in summing up, said although he thought the jury would not approve of the way Totty and Heath had given evidence, they would have to trace their identity by sources outside the men. Their evidence was SO HOPELESSLY CONTRADICTORY, and they evidently were so palpably pretending to forget matters which no man, whether drunk or sober, could forget, that the question the jury would have to put to themselves was, "Are they traced to the killing of the woman in a reckless fashion ?" Were the jury sure no one else could have done it. No matter if these men were drunk, unless the jury thought from the evidence that they were driving fast and furiously, and unless they thought the evidence excluded the possibility of their driving gently, they had no right to find a verdict of any- thing else but misadventure. The jury must remember that Totty was driving, and was the owner of the trap, and the question they must put themselves was how far Heath who was merely a passenger was guilty of com- plicity. The jury, after consulting in private for a few minutes, returned a verdict of-" That deceased lost her life through reckless and furious driving, and we find a verdict of man- slaughter against Totty."—On hearings the verdict, Totty wept. PRISONER BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. Totty appeared in the dock at Chester Police Court, on Thursday, charged with the man- slaughter of Maria Culm. On the application of the Chief Constable, the bench remanded prisoner for a week in order that the public prosecutor might be communicated with.

INTERESTING PRESENTATION. « On Thursday evening a crowded meeting assembled in the schoolroom of the City-road Presbyterian Church to welcome home the pastor (the Rev. D. Treborth Jones) and his bride. Mr. E. J. Baillie occupied the chair, and, in opening the proceedings, extended to the pastor and his wife a very cordial welcome. Although Mrs. Treborth Jones might be a stranger to most of them, her father (the Rev. Principal Edwards, D.D., Bala) was well known to them, being one of their most eloquent preachers, and a man highly esteemed, and held in very tender regard by all. In the name of the congregation he wished them much happiness, and that every blessing would attend them.—Mr. John Jones, the senior deacon, having, in a few happy and appropriate remarks, proffered the young couple some excellent advice, on behalf of the members presented the pastor with a handsome maho- gany study table, bearing a suitable inscription, and to Mrs. Treborth Jones a purse containing twenty guineas, which she graciously acknowledged. The Rev. D. Treborth Jones feelingly thanked them for their good wishes, and for their great kindness, which, he said, was only one of the many tokens of good- will and affection they had shewn towards him since coming here, a comparative stranger, only some few months ago. He trusted the bond of union between pastor and people would be still further strengthened as time passed on, and that great good might result from his ministry here. Refreshments having been partaken of, a very pleasant evening was afterwards spent, an excellent programme of music being provided by the organist, Mr. C. E. Haswell. CHESTE PARLIAMENTARY DEBATING
R PARLIAMENTARY DEBATING SOCIETY.
SOCIETY. I 4, Our local amateur politicians commenced their session on Tuesday evening in the Police Court, where the Ministerial party occupied the jury boxes and the Conservatives the reporters' desks, while the Independents peered over the back of the dock. Proceedings com- menced by the Prime Minister (Mr. Powell) proposing Mr. J. R. Rae for the office of Speaker of the House. Mr. S. Earlam, the leader of the Opposition, seconded, and on the motion being put the ayes' had it, no dissenting voice being raised. Mr. Rae suitably returned thanks, saying he hoped they had entered upon a more successful session altogether, and that at the end they would be able to say they had worked together for the good of the common cause. He would like to refer to the fact that a member of the House had been called by a large and important constituency to take a seat in a large debating society held at Westminster—(hear, hear, and laughter)—a far more exclusive society than their own. He was sure they would all look upon the election of one of their members as a member of Parliament with hearty good-will. — On the motion of Mr. Reginald Dixon, seconded by Mr. T. Mills, Mr. Preston was again elected chairman of com- mittees.—Mr. Taeker (treasurer), in giving his accounts, said their income during the past session was E27 12s. 10s., besides JE5 15s., the nett proceeds of a smoking concert organised by a few gentlemen. Their total expenditure had been £ 27 4s. Id., which left a balance in hand of X4 3s. 9d. The number of members last year was 159, there having been for some reason or other a falling off from the previous session, when the membership was 225.-Mr. Tasker received a vote of thanks for his services as treasurer, and the accounts were adopted.—The Council recommended that the King's School be taken by the society for the ensuing session. —Mr. Rae, in proposing that the recommenda- tion be adopted, said the managers of the Tem- perance Hall had treated them with the utmost courtesy, but the society wanted a more central place in which to hold its meetings.—Mr. Powell seconded, and the resolution was passed. —Mr. C. P. Smith was elected clerk, with Mr. Evason and Mr. Roberts as assistants, and Messrs. Mills, Dutton, Lanceley, Roberts, Earlam, Hawkins, and Jackson were elected on the council. A cordial vote of thanks to the Mayor for the use of the Town Hall for the meeting closed the proceedings. We would remind our readers that, as appears from our advertisement columns, the society's next meet- ing will be held on Tuesday evening at 8 p.m., in the King's School, where all future meetings this session will be held. The member for East Denbighshire (Mr. Samuel Moss) will be in his place, and be prepared to support the ministerial statement.

DARING ROBBERY AT CHESTER.…
DARING ROBBERY AT CHESTER. » A CASH-BOX STOLEN. On Saturday morning a daring robbery was per- petrated at the Railway Inn, Brook-street. After a temporary absence from the bar about eight o'clock, the, landlord (Mr. R. Burrows) found that his cash-box, containing about X25, had been stolen from a corner cupboard. Mr. Burrows informed our representative that when he left the bar about ten minutes to eight to go to another part of the house, he un- suspectingly left the keys of the cupboard in the door. When he returned about twenty minutes later, the cash-box was gone. About a couple of hours later it was found on a piece of waste ground at the back of the cabmen's shelter at the General Railway Station, the contents having all been abstracted with the exception of a few silver coins and some postage stamps. Suspicion has fallen upon a stranger who was drinking in the bar about ten o'clock the previous morning, and saw Mr. Burrows count his cash and place the box in the cupboard. The mark of a boot was seen on a seat in the bar and traces of a man's hand where he had jumped over the counter. The thief must have performed his work with remarkable dexterity and quietness, for not a sound was heard by the occupants of the house. The police have the matter in hand.

CHESTER INFIRMARY. 4
CHESTER INFIRMARY. 4 A short dedicatory service was held in one of the women's wards of the Infirmary on Tuesday, the occasion being the re-opening of their ward after its complete restoration as a Jubilee memorial of the 60th year of the Queen's reign. The restoration consisted principally of a now oak floor, new bedding and furniture, and the beautifying of the walls by appropriate texts and pictures, kindly given by various friends. The Rev. H. Grantham, chaplain of the hospital, officiated, the service being concluded with the singing of the late Bishop of Wakefield's Jubilee hymn by a choir improvised among the resident nurses of the institution. Among those present were Lady Lettice Grosvenor, the Mayoress, the Misses Wilbraham, Mrs. Swetenham (Moston), Lady and the Misses Frost, Mrs. Adair, Mr. and Mrs. Coplestone, Mr. and Mrs'. Churton (Parkgate), Mr. and Mrs. Holme, Dr. and Mrs King, Mrs. Taylor, Dr. Granger, Dr. Hamilton Mr. J. G. Holmes, Major Bryan Johnson, and numerous other friends, who had kindly con- tributed to the restoration fund, amounting to nearly £ 200, entirely collected by Miss Barrow, the lady superintendent of the hospital. At the conclusion of the service, Col. Evans-Lloyd asked to be allowed, on behalf of the Board of Management, to express their grateful thanks to Miss Barrow, who had initiated this restora- tion, and the many friends who, by their generous contriDutions, bad supported her in her loving efforts on behalf of the Infirmary. He was only sorry that his Grace (the President) was not able to be present to give expression to the feeling of gratitude which all present would feel for this beautiful addition to the comforts of the hospital. He was sure that those who remembered the hospital some 40 years ago would be much impressed with the vast improvement now so apparent in the internal economy of the institution. The first ward to be re- stored was in 1879, and was that of the children's ward, and mainly due to the exer- tions of Dr. Granger. Then in 1887, as a Jubilee memorial, Miss Barrow was instru- mental in restoring the Victoria Ward, with its beautiful parquetry floor next came the Albert Ward, similarly treated, and restored at a considerable cost by Mr. F. Bullin. After- wards one of the large upper wards was renovated in memory of Colonel Scotland by his brother officers of the Cheshire Yeomanry. Following this, another large ward on the same floor was restored in memory of a great friend of the Infirmary, the late Miss Humberston; and more recently, as the result of a sale of work, suggested and carried out by Miss Barrow, another large ward was refloored and decorated, and last year Mr. Charles Wigg, of Hoole Bank, most gener- ously restored both by a new oak floor and entirely now furniture another ward; and now this ward, in which they were then as- sembled was another instalment in the work of restoration, and it was only due to Mr. Ridley a Chester man, who with his ow n skilful hands' had laid the beautiful oak Boor on which they stood, to say that it seemed, if possible, to surpass in workmanship anything which had hitherto been done in the way of permanent addition to the hospital. In conclusion he desired to thank the many friends who had kindly attended that day, including Lady Lettice Grosvenor, who had come to represent the President, and the members of the Eaton and Saighton families. At Miss Barrow's re- quest he announced that tea would be served below in the entrance ball.

THE BISHOP OF CHESTER ON 'CHRISTIAN…
THE BISHOP OF CHESTER ON 'CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM.' ♦ A public meeting was held on Thursday night in the Macclesfield Town Hall in connec- tion with the newly-formed local branch of the Christian Social Union. The Bishop of Chester who presided, delivered an address on I The Policy of Christian Socialism,' and a paper on Problems of Poverty' was read by Mr. T. C. Horsfall. Among those present were the Mayor (Mr. P. J. Eaton), the Rev. S. A. Boyd, the Rev. Darwin Wilmot, the Rev. A. V. Coulson, the Rev. J. F. Thomas, the Rev. R. Hurst, the Rev. J. F. C. James, and the Rev. G. St. Clare Hick. There was a large audience. The BISHOP said he was told it was cus- tomary at the theatre to have a small piece as a kind of prelude to the main piece of the evening. The duty he had now to perform was that of 'curtain-raising,' for Mr. Horsfall's paper was certainly the main business of the evening. As to the policy of Christian Socialism, he would say in the first place that it was an inherited policy, not only in the sense that Christian Socialism came to us from Christ and His Apostles and was inseparably bound up with the principles of the Gospel, but that looking at the subject from » nineteenth century point of view, we inherited the policy of Christian Socialism from the gallant band of Christian Socialists who gathered round Frederic Denison Maurice some half-century ago. These men carried on a pro- paganda, proclaiming the principles of Christian Socialism through good and through evil report —and it was chiefly the latter-at a time when the people of England were very little accustomed to ideas of tho-sort, and when com- petition as the main force of society was really running rampant. The ideas represented by competition and every man fighting for his own hand undoubtedly had their place in the social economy, and were probably very much required; at the time they were prominently launched upon English society. But very disastrous results would follow if society were to be entirely handed over to them, and, indeed, a great deal of mis- chief was wrought during the time of their extreme predominance. Maurice and his friends came forward, and impressed upon the mind of the country the conviction that men must be actuated by higher principles, that a spirit of self-sacrifice must be stamped upon individuals 1 and upon society at large, if we were not gradually to go back under the name of civilisa- tion, to the very depths of barbarism, rending one:another's throats in the struggle for wealth. And so he did not think they would be doing right in starting this new branch of the society if they did not begin by recognising their debt to these brave and deep-thoughted men. Having Charles Kingsley and Judge Hughes, Cheshire in particular ought' always to remember the Christian Socialists of half a century ago. His next point was that the policy of Christian Socialise* was an Imperial policy. They claimed for thelt distinguished Master and for the principles which He taught universal empire, empire over the whole of life, life in all its departments* Our recreations, for example, as well as onf business, must be brought under the imperial sway of the Gospel. Next, he would say that the policy of Christian Socialism was a policy of conciliation. They all knew how easy it was to propagate a policy of severance. Account for it as they liked, it was far easier to divide than to harmonise. The idea of Christian Socialist was frankly and fairly to recognise the opposite sides and interests which men were too ready to put asunder. It would have nothing to say to" the divorce of those things which God in the order of nature and the constitution of society had intended to join together. Take, for example, society and the individual. It had been said,' and most truly, that in our studies of Socialist" and society we must never forget that Socialist existed for the benefit of individualism, to foster and develop individualism ItJ, its most wholesome and genuine for; On the other hand it must not be forgotten that individualism must be cultivated and developed for the benefit of society. #e believed that if in starting upon life they w,00 allowed as their equipment one principle, it should be that represented by Christ when e- sent forth His disciples two and two. It seemed as though it were God's method to send forth into life things and institutions and person3 two and two-the laity and the clergy, fot, example, and Church and State. At all events* as he understood it, the policy of Christian Socialism was to bind together what man in bIt impatience, short-sightedness, and self-interest was so very apt to divide and split apart; Of course, that held good of all the different classes of society. The more they came understand one another the more would the? find that they were mutually dependent, they were beholden to one another, and that could never really prosper at the expense oI another. Then the policy of Christian Socialist* was one of patient and co-operative study. one saw only a part one was sure to misundett stand and misrepresent the whole. If, fo example, they took a limited view of unions he expected they would find a g°°f' deal to curse in them and in the same way they had an incomplete view of association0 of employers they might be tempted to them also. The all-import thiner was to [ things steadily, and to see them whole. TbO f most valuable function of the Christian Soc Union was that it invited into its ranks al* sorts and conditions of men, and not least ouf young men at the Universities, whose were warm and generous, and who, as they °y^ \nto life, Daust have so large an influence all directions on the national welfare. BacoB said that nature could only he made to do 011r bidding by our first sitting as pupils at bet feet. That was true with regard to problems of life. They must sit at the feet phenomena, and be students and learners, befof* they went forth to grapple with the problem* of life, if they wished to do any real goo^' There might be some persons who doubted fof necessity for this sort of thing but he belief it was of the utmost importance for, let him Say" politicians, party men of different sides, to ta** such studies in hand. Possibly he addressing some Conservatives. Well, did not know that the social prob¡e which were pressing upon us had be solved ? It did not follow—he was goioS speak quite frankly—because the Unionists an overwhelming majority now, that they woO* | always be in that position. Surely, if tb6^ desired to remain in a majority they must preparing themselves to use that majority the best welfare of the country and the ErapirO- More than that. All history told us that if refused to look frankly in the face movement, for the reform of institutions and the society, revolutionary measures would take tb j place of what, with more sympathetic i ment, might have been genuinely wholes reforms. So he maintained, if he might put1 that way, that it was a radically Conservati^" policy to be students of these social problenJ0' j and to meet them with open eyes and hearts. On the other hand, if there happen^ to be some bond, fide Radicals present, he w £ >t,LT venture to say that they too would be wise t^ recognise the many-sidedness oi the problOO3 which they were most rightly endeavouring f solve. Legislation on short-sighted and inco plete lines was sure to be followed by reactioj^ and reaction in just the direction they WO JJ not like. To sum up, the Christian Social Uni°' desired to inculcate sound knowledge, ferve" zeal, and a fair and square examination of the3 problems by all parties. (Applause.)
