BROMSGROVE,

PETTY SESSIONS.—On Tuesday before Mr. R.
Smallwood and the Rev, Canon Eaton (magistrates)
Stephen Edward Frayne, contractor, Birmingham,
ipp,ared on remand to answer the charge of being
drunk, at Bromsgrove, on the 17th November.
The case had been twice previously adjourned at
the request and cost of defendant, for him to
summon witnesses.— The evidence of Superin-
tendent Jeffrey, Police-sergeant Evans, and John
Haines, late police-constable at Bromsgrove, was
taken, and all of them swore positively, that de-
fendant was drunk on the night in question, and
was led up the street by two men named Wheeler and
Eades.—Defendant made a rambling statement in
defence, to the effect that he used no bad language
and that he did not annoy anyone. He called
Oliver Eades, a summoned witness (one of the
men who led him up the street), who stated that
he saw defendant at the Golden Lion Inn, and had
a glass with him. Did not consider he was drunk,
but he was not altogether sober. Offered TO see
him part of his way home. Witness and Mr.
Wheeler took the defendant to a house at Stoney
Hill, but the la-idlady would not have him there.
He used bad language there, such as was not fit to
repeat. They then took him to the Coach and
Horses Hotel, but the landlady said he had not
been gating drunk there, and she would not have
him, and they took him to aeother place.-Defendant
said his witness was not telling the truth, and that
was not the evidence he (defendant) took from him
the day before, and which he had in his note-beok
—W.H. Wildsmith was also called by defendant.
and said he had a glass with him .at the Golden
Lion Was not there a long time. Dii not con-
sider defendant was drunk. He was sober for all
witness knew.—Mr. Smallwood said at was the
most palpable case of drunkenness he ever heard in
his life, and the time of the Bench had been taken
up most improperly and unnecessary. Defendant
had not a word to say in defence, and yet had been
three times before the Bench to suit himself. He
would be fined 10s. and costs.—The fine and costs,
275. altogether, were paid,

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN IN
SCOTLAND.

Mr. Campbell-Bannerman, M.P., speaking in
response to an address from the Liberal Association
at Dunfermline expressive of satisfaction that the
Government had recognised the administrative abili-
ties of the right hon. gentleman, and conveying a san-
guine hope that in his capacity as Chief Secretary for
Ireland he would be enabled to carry out such reforms
as might lead to a permanent improvement be the
state of feeling in that country, paid high tribute to
the national services of Earl Spencer; and in dealing
with home polities said that Scotch Liberalism was
reasonable and matter of fact, and did much towards
steadying and strengthening the hands of those in
office. He considered the new franchise arrangement
gave general satisfaction in the country. If the
Tories claimed credit for it, they bitterly opposed it
at the outset. Mr. Bannerman cited Lord Randolph
Churchill's speeches in Scotland in suppart, of his
statement. As to the effect of the bill, he thought
fuller and fairer representation Nvo,uld thereby be
secured. As to proportional repreAntation as advo-
cated by Mr, CourtnoT, he consittred it quite impran•
ticable.

THE DIVERSION OF LAI3OIIE.

In a carefully compiled article, the Notf Kra: Ea-
kin points out the steady diversion of lab.mr of late
years from farming to manufacturing pursuits in the
United States. In the decade from 18,70 to 1880 the
increase to the number of persons engaged in agricul-
ture was 29.5 per cent., while the increase in manufac-
tures was 411 per cent. Under natural circumstances,
agriculture should attract 2,300,000 persons in the ten
years ending in 1890; but as farming is rapidly be-
coming less profitable than it was, it is calculated that
not more than 1,150,000 persons will join the farming
ranks in that period. This will leave over 1,000,000
additional hands available for employment in manu-
factures and other productive employments. These
calculations are based on the natural growth of
population; but taking count of immigrants, the
available resources for manufacturing labour are
greatly increased. And our contemporary argues
that the effect will be either—(l), to increase
the supply of labour as compared with the demand,
and a consequent material fall in the money rate of
wages in manufacturing and kindred employments;
or (2), a diminution of the usual rate of increase of
population, arising from discouragement to immigra-
tion ; or (3), an unusual development of manufacturing
industry, induced by the greater facility for getting
labour, and for getting it on lower wages. But in the
latter event, the country will have to face - fact
that its manufacturers will require to look else,
than at home for a market for the increased p)
tion of commodities; and also that competith
other markets will not be possible to merchants
are handicapped, as those of the States are now
heavy import duties on raw material. The
of these duties is therefore strongly -
consideration of all classes.

THE "IRON DUKE" AND "CLAP.

TRAP."

A curious and interesting statement has recently
seen the light, for which the alleged authority is the
late Duke of Wellington. Writing to an American
friend a year or two since, his Grace says of the
illustrious victor in so many stricken fields from
Assaye to Waterloo, Ido not remember the word
' glory' in any of my father's sayings, despatches, or
other writings." Others almost as well acquainted
with the Iron Duke could doubtless confirm this
story, which is quite in harmony with all we know of
his manly simplicity, straightforwardness, and entire
freedom from bounce, grandiloquent claptrap, or
assumption. If the first Duke of Wellington had
been asked to specify a word which, more than
any other, conveyed his idea of the proper rule
of action, he would, like Nelson, have answered,
not "glory," but "duty." The famous signal at
Trafalgar, "England expects every man to do
his duty," was probably as mythical as the
equally. famous "Up Guards, and at 'ern," or as Cam-
bronne's "The Old Guard dies, but does not sur-
render ;" or as Francis L's brief missive from Pavia,
"Allis lost, Madame, save honour." The sentiment
which the word embodies was, nevertheless, the sus-
taining stimulus of the great admiral and the great
captain, just as it has been of many gallant fellows
since who have furnished a glittering beadroll of
worthies to illustrate the Laureate's boast that "not
once or twice, in our rough island story, "The path of
duty was the way to glory." •If the latter was the.
goal reached, it was not consciously sought. It is for
our spirited neighbours across the English Channel
that the word "glory" has a potent charm and mean-
ing ; and yet, curiously enough, it was a Frenchman
—Talleyrand—who wrote the following pregnant
sentence: "The love of glory can only create a great
heio; contempt of it creates a great man."

A BAZAAR OF HORRORS.

The English Home Office persistently neglects an
obvious expedient for money-making, which in other
countries is turned to some account, viz., the sale of
those little trifles known to other judicial systems as
the pieces a conviction. Only a few days ago there
was held at the Rue des Ecoles, in Paris, an auction
of such interesting relics, consisting of a whole room
full if the most miscellaneous articles displayed
during the course of the past twelve months on the
tables of the assize courts and the tribunals of
correctional police. Portions of the dress of notorious
criminals or their victims formed the bulk of the col-
lection; but there were also more characteristicpices,
such as knives and life preservers and other weapons
which had played their part in various atrocious
crimes. The average sum derived from such annual
auctions is reckoned at 300,000 francs, or £12,000, no
mean contribution to the salaries of the judges at
the Assize Courts. But the sums actually
paid by the public for these trophies amount to con-
siderably more than this, as will be perceived when it
is explained that the State on these occasions only
acts as a wholesale dealer. All the relics belonging
to each trial are sold in a single lot; and the auc-
tioneer, before whom they are spread out on a table
near his desk, rakes them over for inspection with a
croupier's rake seized in some gambling place, and
forming itself, therefore, a piece a conrictku. The
purchaser of each lot has afterwards to divide it into
separate smalier lots, which are retailed by him at an
advanced value. It should be added that the sums
received by the auctioneer are, with a punctilious
sense of justice, kept for a certain time at the disposi-
tion of the rightful claimant, that is to say, the next-
of-kin of the unfortunates who have been assassinated,
executed, or transported; but it may perhaps be
assumed that in most cases these unattractive profits
are not claimed.—The Globe.

THE INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION.

A special meeting of the London Working Men's
Association was held on Saturday at 14, Fetter-lane,
Fleet-street, to consider a number of letters from
various parts of the country, as well as from London
districts with respect to the distress among the work-
ing classes. Mr. George Potter, who took the chair,
said that it appeared from the pile of letters now
before the meeting that during the present festive
season a very large number of people who lived by
their labour had not been able to purchase even
the bare necessaries of life. From some letters received,
however, there seemed to be, as it were, a dawning
hope of improved trade for some industries. The Dun-
dee Trades' Council had written to say that, although
there was apparent evidence of the jute trade being
transferred to foreign countries by means of State
bounties, a determined effort was to be made to oppose
the State bounties which were now being given to
that department of industry. The meeting would
see that this was another instance of how the trade
of this country was being taken away by State
bounties, a system which, if allowed to continue or
increase, must inevitably be fatal to all our home
industries. It was decided to hold a mass meeting
at the East-end of London, the special object being
to press upon the Government the necessity of
utilising an exhaustive inquiry into the causes of the
present depression of trade.

[REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

CAIRO, Thursday.

The Marclir of Dongola telegraphs the
arrival of an Arab from the Mandi's camp.
The Arab affirms that the Mandi's followers
are in force at Mizan El Nek, twelve hours
south of Omderman. They have made
several attacks on Omderman, but were re-
pulsed with heavy loss. Gordon having
learnt that 13-.-,douin Arabs come during the
night to the wells, sent armed boats to stop
the practice, causing great suffering among
the rebels. The Malidi consequently with-
drew to Jabbara, after which he was deserted
by several tribes.

Thursday Night.
Lord Wolseley received yesterday a small
piece of paper from General Gordon contain-
ing the words :—" Khartoum all right. 0.
G Gordon, December 14th." No doubt is
entertained as to the genuineness of this
paper, as it bears Generel Gordon'sfseal on
the back.

9.TTEMPTED TRIPLE 31IIRD.tE AT

BIRMINGHAM.

Fa'arday night, shortly before eight o'clock, a
determined attempt was made to murder two women
and a barman by a screw tool maker named Henry
Kimberley, of Floodgate-street and Pershore-road.
Fur the past 17 years Kimberley had been living with
a woman named Harriet Steward, alias Stevens, but
late!y there have been constant quarrels between
them, and a fortnight previously they agreed to
separn'e. They accordingly went to a solicitor's
office, where terms of separation were agreed to, the
woman to keep possession of the house, and to give
Kimberley ..t2O and the piano. A deed to this
effect was signed, but Kimberley seems
afterwards to have wished it to be cancelled, and
pressA the woman to again live with him, she how-
flowerer being firm in her refusal. On
Saturday afternoon Steward went to a music-shop
on business connected with the piano, and from there
proceeded to the house of Mrs. Palmer, landlady of
the Gem Vaults, Steelhouse-lane. Mrs. Palmer was
intimately acquainted with Steward, and at a quarter
to eight o'clock that evening the two went to the
White Hart Inn, Paradise-street, of which establish-
ment Mrs. Palmer's husband is the propribtor. Kim-
berly appears to have followed Steward during her
ramble's, and on her and Mrs. Palmer entering the
bar of the White Hart, he went up to the counter and
asked Steward to return to him. She refused, and he
then urged Mrs. Palmer to press his suit, upon which
Steward made a second reply to the effect that she
would not again live with him. Upon this Kimberley
drew a five-chambered revolver out of his pocket
and fired at Steward, the bullet striking her head,
ploughing the skull, and leaving at the back of the
neck. He immediately turned round to Mrs. Palmer
and fired at her, the bullet entering the left side of
the neck, and lodging near the breast. Having done
this he pointed the weapon at the barman, who closed
with him, and after a violent struggle succeeded, with
the assistance of a customer, in holding him down on
the floor pending the arrival of police-constable Hart,
who wrested the revolver from him after some resist-
ance. The women were conveyed to the Queen's
Hospital in an insensible condition, but they after-
wards rallied a little, and their depositions were
taken. On examination it was found that Steward's
brain had not been injured. Kimberley was removed
to the Moore-street lock-up, and has been remanded.

EDINBURGH JUSTICE# AND
THEATRICAL LICENtES.

The following are the principal of the revised rules
adopted by the Edinburgh Justices: "That any
licensed theatre shall not be opened for the perform-
ance of any stage play, or other public entertainment
of the like kind, on Sunday, or on any other day set
apart for public worship by lawful authority, or on
any lawful day before twelve o'clock noon, or
be kept open later than eleven o'clock at night.
That anything which is licentious or indecent, or
likely to cause a breach of the peace, shall not be
acted, represented, recited, sung, spoken, or per-
mitted in such theatre. That any person in a state
of intoxication shall not be permitted to be within
stich theatre. That smoking shall not be permitted
within the portions of such theatre set apart for
spectators, or in any of the passages or corridors

theatre is open to the public, all the approaches,
staircases, and passages shall be kept entirely free
from obstructions, and the seats, whether movable or
otherwise, shall not be permitted in the alleys, gang-

set apart for spectators. That all doors and barriers
shall open outwards, and none of them shall be
fastened when the public are within such theatre.
That the gas taps in all passages, staircases, and other
parts of such theatre to which the public are admitted,
shall be guarded and out of the reach of the public,
and that guarded oil lamps, or any other light, shall

building, including the auditorium, stage, lobbies, and
staircases, during the whole time that the theatre is
kept open for the public. That all the means of exit
shall be indicated in the several parts of such threatre
by printed placards in plain characters in conspicuous
places. That the manager of every such theatre shall
have a city fireman present during every performance
therein.'

THE STOURBRIDGE OBSERVER.

"You have been ill? I thought so," he amid,
anxiously.
"Not ill, exactly, but—troubled a little. I
am sorry—very sorry, Mr. Woodville if I have
appeared rude. I had no reason. Pray forgive
me."

She spoke earnestly, almost humbly, for in truth
she felt very humbled just now, and lowered in her
own esteem, and Clarence Woodville judged, not
untruly, that now, in her present mood, would be
as good an opportunity as was over likely to pre-
sent itself for making his declaration.

A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.

Information has been received of the wreck of the
barque Clyde off the Rew Zealand coast, with the loss
of all on board except an approMice. Among the
drowned are the captain's wife and three children.
The Clyde was a vessel of 552 tons register, and was
bound from Mauritius with a cargo of sugar, &c. On
the sth ult., off Horseshoe Bay, near Akaroa, the
barque missed stays and struck amidships on some
dangerous rocks. One boat was immediately
lowered, into which were placed the captain's wife and
three children, and two apprentices, one of them being
the survivor, Gibson by name. The rail of the vessel,
which was level with the sea, cut the small boat,
and capsized it, throwing the occupants into the
water. The captain's wife and his children
were dinged on board the stranded vessel, and
Gibson also managed to reach it, but at that
moment he saw the mainmast falling, and to avoid
being struck he dived into the sea, aftervards
getting on to the spanker boom. While here Gibson
saw the captain floating about the deck, which was
then under water, and he had two of his children in
his arms, Gibson pulled the children to a place of
safety. A second boat was cut adrift, but this, too,
was swamped among the wreckage. Gibson again
got on to the spanker boom, when he saw the captain's
body and that of one of his little girls floating by.
Gibson seized the child, but she was swept from his
grasp by a huge sea. He then got on top of one of
the deck houses, which had been detached from the
vessel, and on this he was carried ashore. Soon after-
wards tho vessel broke in two and disappeared. The
loss of kife by the disaster amounted to 18 souls.

HORRIBLE SCENE AT A WAKE.

A disgusting incident in low life is reported from
Birkenhead. It was determined by the neighbours
of a single woman, whose illegitimate child had been
found dead by her side, she having retired to rest the
worse for drink, and evidently overlain the child, to
wake the body. There were candles placed around
the coffin, and beer and whisky supplied without
stint. Towards morning all the party were asleep in
the room containing the corpse. One of the candles
was upset, and it fell upon some lighted paper, which
set the curtains on fire, and also the shroud covering
the remains of the little baby, whose body was
scorched and terribly disfigured. Fortunately for
the wretched creatures, they were saved from their
own destruction by a little girl, who awoke them
from their drunken sleep.

DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKE IN SPAIN

Two violent shocks of earthquake, each lasting
about three seconds, occurred in Madrid shortly
before nine o'clock on Thursday night, causing the
houses to shake so much that considerable alarm was
created, and many of the inhabitants rushed into the
streets. The shock was felt in the o,era House
during the performance of "Lucia," and caused the
people in the upper galleries to rush out. It is said
"the shocks have left a very vivid impression upon
the mind, occurring as they did when people were
seated at their Christmas suppers, and in some cases
a good deal of ludicrous confusion was caused. In
the southern provinces, at the same hour, the shocks
were severer, and much damage was done to build-
ings. This induced most of the inhabitants of
Malaga, Cordova, and Grenada to spend the greater
part of the night in the open air. At Malaga a woman
and child were crushed by the fall of a wall, and a
few men were badly injured. The earthquake was
felt all over the peninsula." Damage of a serious
nature was afterwards reported from no less than 40
different places throughout Andalusia. The impor-
tant town of Velez-Malaga is half destroyed, and the
number of victims very great. The town of
Albuquero, close to Granada, is destroyed and
the victims 'are known to reach two hundred,
the majority having been stricken down in the first
shock. At Arenas del Key the damage is almost as
great as at Albuquero. Only a few of the houses are
intact, and in the lower quarters of the town
the desolation is complete. Trefarranja is
in ruins. Few of the people escaped unhurt. In
many other places fearful havoc was wrought.
Canillas is destroyed. At Estepona the church, the
municipal and many other buildings are destroyed.
In view, however, of recurring attacks, the people
were afraid to return to their wrecked homes, and
encamped for several days in the open air.
