POACIIING:AFFRA.Y NEAR KINVER.

At the Brierley Hill Police Court, on Monday,
Benjamin Craddock (29), and John Ashton (41),
labourers, of Kinver, and George Wood, a weaver,
of Kidderminster, we,e charged with night•poach-
ing on land in the occupation of Mr. W. H. Foley,
at Kinver, on the 4th instant; and prisoners were
further charged with assaulting Arthur Toy, Henry
Toy, William Harding, William Thomas Weaver,
and Charles Green. Mr. Waldron prosecuted, Mr.
Higgs defended Ashton, and Mr. J. W. Clulow ap-
peared for Wood; Craddock being undefended.
The case for the prmecution was that about eleven
o'clock p.m. Arthur Toy and his companions were
on te watch and saw Craddock and Ashton setting
a net on a piece of land near the Cross Roads, and
gave chase. Prisoners, however, were reed
by a number of companions, and the ganA turn:ng
on the keepers, assaulted them with sticks and
stones, causing them to beat a r,tr,at. Wood, it
was also alleged, took pai t in t!:e affray, but it was
conclusively shown for the defenee that he was in
a public house at Kidderminster at the time of the
alleged offence; and he was now discharged. Crad-
dock set up an alibi, but it failed, and he and Ash-
ton were each fined £2O, or the alternative of three
months, on the charge of poaching, the Bench not
adjudicatin; on the other charge. Both prisoners
also were ordered to be bound ov, r, Ashton for tw.)
years and Craddock for twelve months, to abstain
hem similar practices for those periods.

THREE MEN KILLED ON THE
RAILWAY.

A melancholy accident, resulting in the death of
three men, occurred on the Midland Railway, near to
Carlisle on Monday night. It appears that of late
the Midland Company have been redecorating the
station buildings along their line, and this work was
almost completed on the northern section. The whole
of the contract for the work of painting was let to
Mr. Hutton, of Shipley, and three of his men were
engaged in finishing Scotby Station, which is next to
Carlisle, and only distant from that city about a mile
and a half. The workmen had completed their day's
labours, and were returming to Carlisle, where they
lodged, travelling along the line. It is supposed they
had observed the 5.38 express from Carlisle for Leeds
coming, and hal got out of the way, stepping on
to the down metals, when the London Ex-
press, which is due in Carlisle at 5.54, and passed
Scotby a short time after the Leeds express had run
through, it is believed overtook them and knocked
them down. Neither the driver of the train nor any
of the officials were aware of the accident, but when
the train drew up at Carlisle blood stains were ob-
served on the engine. Another engine and brake van
were at once dispatched to the scene of the accident,
where two of the men were picked up quite dead, being
terribly mangled. The bodies were lying near each
other, and a short distance from them the third man
was found. He was alive, but was suffering from
severe wounds and bruises about the body. He was
placed along with the bodies of the other two men in the
van and conveyed to Carlisle, where he was placed in
one of the rooms at the station. Medical aid had been
summoned, and three professional gentlemen were
soon in attendance, but before their arrival the poor
sufferer succumbed to his injuries.

AGRICULTURAL CO-OPERATION.

The annual meeting of the Agricultural and Horti-
cultural Association was held on Monday at Charing-
cross Hotel. Mr. D. R. Scratton, of Ogwell, Newton
Abbott, presided, and moved the adoption of the
report, which announced that, in spite of the con-
tinued depression in agriculture, the business of the
association during the past year had grown from
£54,378 18s. 2d. to £60,212 49. 10d.—an increase of
over 10 per cent. The C3uncil reported a nett profit
upon the year's operations of £1124 ss. 3d., exclusive
of depreciations written off leases, fixtures, machinery,
book-debts, and goodwill; amounts carried to property
redemption fund, interest paid upon deposits, bonuses
allowed to employes, and discount allowances made
on purchases. The number of members had in-
creased from 1591 in 1885, to 1720 in 1886—an
increase greater than has been usual in reeent
years. The sales in the department of artificial
manures showed an increase of £589 14s. 10d.—an
increase entirely in the manures manufactured by the
association's special machinery. The increase in the
sales of oilcakes and feeding stuffs had been nearly
30 per cent. over 1885. The system of selling linseed
and cotton cake with a guaranteed maximum of oil
and minimum of sand had been widely appreciated.
The guaranteed percentage of purity and growth in
seeds, which was considered so satisfactorily high in
1885, had been further improved in 1886. Best aver-
age percentage of growth obtainable in 1881-2 and 3,
having been 68 per cent., was now 90 per cent. Sum-
ming, as a whole, the results of the past year, the
council felt that there was reason to congratulate the
members upon steady progress and solid improvement.
The adoption of the report was agreed to. The re-
tiring members of council, Sir Thos, Grove, Bart.,
M.P., Captain J. N. Preston, and Messrs. W. H. Whita-
ker and E. Vansittart Neale, were re-elected. Messrs.
Jas. Fraser and Sons were re-elected auditors. The
profits for the year were voted to be applied to extra
depreciation of various assets. The calling of the next
members' meeting was delegated to the council, and
the meeting closed with a vote of thefts to the chair-
man.

"My dear," said Mrs. Snaggs to her husband,
"what is a canard? "Why, a canard is something
one can hardly believe, of course." "Oh, to be sure.
Why couldn't I think of that ? "
" YEs," said the mother, "Mary is very ambitious.
She vows she will marry:a foreign count or some gran-
dee of some kind, and she wants to be accomplished."
"Accomplished ?" "Yes. Nothing will satisfy her
short of being fitted to become the wife of a nobleman."
" kad you are educating her ?" " Yes ; lam teaching
her how to wash and iron.'

SHIPBUILDING in the FRENCH NAVY.

From the French Naval Estimates it appears that
the following arrangements have been made for
building new vessels for the navy. Amin of £510,080
has been set aside for six ironclads of the first class,
of which one, the Admiral Baudin, is to be completed
next year, and two, the Formidable and the Marceau,
in 1888. The Neptune, which is being built at Brest,
the Magenta at Toulon, and the Roche, which was
launched the other day at L'Orient, will not be ready
to take the sea before 1889. A sum of £79,000 is to
be spent upon four ironclad gunboats, two of which,
the Cocyte at Cherbourg, and the Grenada, at L'Orient,
are to be ready in 1887. Two large cruisers of 5766
and 7000 tons have been ordered to be laid down in
the dockyards of La Seyne and St. Nazaire, and are
to be ready in 1888. These vessels, which are to be
of the protected kind with an ironclad deck, are to
have a speed of 19 knots an hour, and a sum of
£160,000 is allowed for them in this year's estimates.
Three first-class cruisers, the Dupuy-de-LOme, the
Jean Bart, and the Alger, each of 4200 tons and each
to cost £184,000, have just been laid down at Cher-
bourg, Brest, and Rochefort. Two second-class
cruisers and three of the third class are also included
in the list of ships to be built in 1887, and a sum
of £144,000 is allowed for these vessels, which are
to be very fast, in next year's expenditure.
Three torpedo cruisers—the Epervier, the Yau-
tour, and the Faucon, 51 torpedo boats ordered
from private arms, and one sea-going torpedo ves-
sel—the Ouragan—which is to have a speed of 25
knots an hour, are also to be ready next year, a sum of
£128,000 being allowed for their completion. A credit
of £109,720 is allowed for two despatch boats, which
are to be completed, three transports and two sailing
frigate., so that altogether there are in course of con-
struction or armament six ironclads, four ironclad
gunboats, ten cruisers, three cruising torpedo boats,
three despatch boats, three transports, 52 torpedo
mats, two sailing frigates, and one third-class torpedo
moat, the total credit allowed for them in the course
of next year being £1,100,024

OIL ON ATLANTIC WAVES.

Vessels arriving at Liverpool and New York during
the past few days report having experienced severe
gales in the Atlantic, and Savo ral accidents to Liver-
pool and foreign vessels are reported. The ship Aris-
tomene, of Liverpool, which arrived at New York on
the 6th inst., encountered a terrible hurricane, which
lasted for twelve hours, and carried away two lower
topsails. Terrific cross seas were experienced, and
the captain had to resort to the use of oil-bags over
the ship's bows, which were successful in breaking the
force of the waters. On the 26th ult. the ship fell
in with a cyclone from the N.N.E., wlh lasted for
15 hours. The barque Abyssinian, of Liverpool, also
encountered strong variable gales, and had her sails
split and carried away.

SPORTING NOTES.
(By our own Correspondent.)

THE C:MBRIDGESHIRE.

\Vith nearly thirty candidates in betting for this
in:?ortant mile race, decided on Tuesday next at
N ;market, it undoubtedly placs a turf scribe in
no enviable position; aril what with several stables
fumistring more than onc candidate who hold en-
gagements, the work of an analysis of the handicap
is no sin, cure. At present it is a near thing in the
quotations between Silver and Carlton, the former
it is expected will improve on his Cesarewitch dis-
play, whilst Carlton is reported better at the weights
than the Cob, who, it must not. be overlooked, nearly
won the long distanoG race the Cesarewitch. Be
that as it rn.iy, Alec Taylor's stable is bound to
have a prominent candidate on the day and what
defeats his best will be returned the winner. After
the form of Atheling and Enterprise at the Second
October gathering, Tyrone has not commanded so
many friends. Still, no horse can be doing better at
Newmarket, and Ryan tells all his friends the horse
cannot lose. Harpenden it is expected will be more
suited to the Cambridgeshire distance, whilst
Goater's entertain a high opinion of Arundel. How-
ever, if I take the two C:Jsarewitch disappointments

SHIPPING DISASTERS ON THE
COAST.

The terrible gale last week was prolific in disasters.
A large Glasgow vessel, the Ben-y-Gloe, 2000 tons'
burthen, was driven on the Nash Sands, off Cardiff
and the seas breaking over her, the captain and crew,
over 30 in number, took to the rigging, where they
remained all night, clinging to the ropes, and nearly
blinded by the driving wind, rain, and sea. At one
time the water rose so high that the whole party were
nearly engulfed, and the carpenter, completely worn
out with fatigue, was washed away. The remainder
of the crew wore rescued in an exhausted condition.
The iron sailing ship Malleny, of Liverpool, 1036 tons
net register, Captain H. Richard, went to pieces on
Taskar Rock, near Nash Point, all hands being lost.
Wreckage and six of the bodies were washed
ashore at Nash Point on Saturday night, when the
inhabitants stripped the bodies of all valuables and
plundered the wreckage of the Malleny as
well as of the Ben-y-Gloe, which was lost at the
same place. The Earl of Dunraven, of Dunraven
Castle, sent money and provisions to the shipwrecked
men, and invited them all up to the castle. A Nor-
wegian barque, with a cargo of timber, ran ashore in
Port Queen Bay. Eleven men were drowned, but
one hand was saved. A number of vessels sustained
serious damage in the English Channel, and one of
the worst cases was that of the Noord Holland,
Rotterdam Lloyd's screw steamer, which anchored at
Spithead on Saturday. The captain reported to Mr.
Vandenbergh, the Dutch consul at Portsmouth, that
he was overtaken by the gale after he had proceeded
nearly 100 miles down channel, and the vessel
suffered severely. The starboard bulwarks amidships
were carried away, the steering apparatus was
materially injured, two boats were unshipped, and a
third smashed to pieces. In their efforts to save the
ship the crew were placed in a most perilous position.
An immense wave which broke over the deck carried
away the quartermaster, who was not seen again, and
the mate received a nasty hurt. Another seaman
was swept into the water, but was dashed back again
by a returning wave, his arm being broken by the
violence with which he struck the deck. Most of the
other men were badly bruised. Wreckage, consisting
of a steamer's hatches, spars, empty wine cask, and
life-buoys marked Indus, strew the coast at Bude. It
is supposed to have come from the Indus, 2486 tons
register, of Dundee, which foundered in the neigh-
bourhood of Trevose. The German brig Albert Wil-
helm, of Barth, from Ramsay, Isle of Man, for Fowey.
went ashore on the sands in St. Ives Bay. Four of
the crew were rescued by rocket apparatus, while the
other five hands were saved by the Hayle lifeboat
after it had been driven back three times. On the
last occasion it was manned by a fresh crew.

ROWLEY REGIS,

LOCAL BOARD,—The monthly meeting of this
Board was held on Mond 4, evening, when Mr. Allen
Ir. eided.—The Public Works Commit- ee recom-
mended that plans of the proposed hospital be
prepared for the approval of the Local Board, and
also for the approval of the Local Government Board,
so that the former might commeice to build, when
necessary, without delay ; that pipes be put in
Halesowen Road deep enough to drain the cellars,
and that the work done by the Board's own men,
and with the pipes now in stock; thatithe dangerous
retaining wall to the Board's highway near rtr.
Lowe's house at Powke Lane, be raised to the
extent of 21t. Gin, ; that the Board agree to the
proposal to exchange a small piece of land for other
laud from Mr. Haden Bt st, at Garratt's Lan9, sub-
ject to the Board making good the light, and the
corner or the tenanted nail shop at that point ; and
that the Board accept the offer of the trustees of
the Brick House Farm to give up a good plot of
and providiog the Board remove a boundary wall
of Rowley rag sto.le at the top of Dog Lane and
erect a brick boundary wall in its place. The
committee also recommended that the stone taken
from the bounOary wall be broken into squares flnd
as metal for highway purposes.—Mr. Connop stated
that at Dog Lane it was propc,std to give up 60
yards of lauck,to the B ard, and there would be
about forty tons ot stone which could be used as
metal for the highway. The bricks and labour would
cost about 47. 103. and the survt yor estimated the
stone as being worth £3 10s. to the Board, so that
the land and improvement would only cost about
£4.—After a long discussion Mr. Counop moved
and Mr • Lowe seconded the adoption of the report,
which was carried.—The other business was nnim-
port ant,

SERIOUS ASSAULT UPON A WIFE AT

HALESOIVEN.

At the flalesowen Police Court on Tuesday, be-
fore Messrs. E. Gem and H. Howard, Richard
Fereday, collier, of White Heath, was brought up
on remand, charged with assaulting his wife, Ellen
Fereday, on the 20th November. Prosecutrix
stated that on the date in question her husband
wr.mt out and did not return until after eleven
o'clock, when he requested, to have some beef
conked for his supper. When sh: was about to
cook it he took it out of h.r hands and threw it
behind the fire, 'Afterwards her husband struck
her a violent blow in the face, causing her to fall,
and she became unconscious and obliged to keep
her bed for nearly a week. She did not wish to
press the charge, as her husband was getting an old
man.—Dr. Beasley stated that on the 25th ult. he
attended the complainant. She was suffering from a
serious lacerated wound on the forehead, which
penerated to the bone. The wound might have
been caused by a fall, or inflicted by a blunt in-
strurnent.—Police- constable Edmunds said he was
called to the house of the defendant on the 21st.,

SIR CHARLES WARREN ON BIBLICAL
HISTORY.

Sir Charles Warren was the principal speaker at
the annual meeting of the Beckenham auxiliary of the
Britith and Foreigq Bible Society on Saturday night,
He referred especially to his experknces and adven-
tures in connection with the Palestine Exploraion
Fund, explaining in detail the various historical and
geographical features of the country, of which he
deduced proofs from the various records in bililical
histcry which were too often regarded as absurd and
prepsterous. In the present state of living, Siz
Charles urged that, notwithstanding all the scepti•
ci,m which existed at to certain passages of Holy
Writ, he was convinced, from his experiences in the
Holy Land, that the error lay with ourselves, and not
with the historians of the Bible.

DEATH OF MRS. PATTERSON.

Mrs. Paterson, the honorary secretary of the
Women's Protective Provident Leag-.le, whose funeral
took place on Monday afternoon at Paddington Ceme-
tery, was born in April, 1847. She was identified from
her youth with almost all contemporary movements
for the amelioration of the political, eepecially the
industrial condition of women. N 4 Mies _bllllll4
Smith, she was secretary twenty :j ears ago of the
Won,en's Suffrage Society, and subet quently held for
years the secretaryship of the We:aliments Club aid
Institute Union. She thus came in close contact
with working men, studied their trade organisation, and
fully acquainted herself with the needs of the opera-
tive classes. Her marriage at an early age to Mr.
Thomas Paterson, a cabinet-maker, and an earnest
and practical student of all social and industrial ques-
tions, extended her knowledge and sympathies. In
1874 she induced worhing women for the first time to
adopt trade unionist principles, and establilied the
, Women's Protective and Provident League for the
formation of trade and benefit societies among work-
' jog women. The TA,ntlon Bookbinders' Union was
the earliest women's trade society due to Mrs. Pater-
! Imo', exertions; the Upholsteres-es', the Sbirtmakers',
I he Tailoresses',and Di easmakers'Unions soon followed.
I In 1875 Mrs. Paterson ivas the first woman admitted to
the Trades Union Gnigress, and she attended and
' spoke or read papers at all tha subsequent CougresQes.
As honorary secretary of the Women's League Mrs.
Paterson worked indefatigably till almost her last
hour. She oeganised and addressed public meetings
in London and the provinces; she arranged social
gatherings at the offi les of the League; aud she edited
the Tl'omen's Union ,rovrnal, a monthly record of the
League's work. Her husband died in 1f1.82, .and Mrs.
Paterson edited, with a memoir, a posthumous work
by him, entitled "A New Method of Mental Science,"
which was published last spring. At the time of her
death she was preFaring for-the Press other of Mr.
Paterson's unpublished writines.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
JOURNALISTS:

On Saturday, at Anderton's Hotel, the second
annual meeting of members of the London District
of the Netional Association of Journalists was held.
Dr. Griffiths, the retiring chairman of the district,
presided, Sir Algernon Borthwick, president of the
association, being absent in Egypt. The district hon.
secretary (Mr. W. Collins) read the report of the
committee for the past nine months. It appeared
that in that period the membership of the district had
been increased to four times the numbers at the
beginning of the year, and that the membership was
now representative of every class of London jour-
nalism. It was resolved that the London District
delegates to the conference should be instructed to
give it as the opinion of theirdistrict that the question
of altering the name of the society to the Institute of
Journali3ts should be postponed, but placed upon the
agenda for the conference of 1888. Mr. James
Walker was elected chairman of the district for the
ensuing year, and Mr. P. W. Clayden vice-chairman.
Other district officers were appointed.

REV. STEPHEN GLADSTOITE AND THE
TITHE WAR.

The Rev. Stephen Gladstone, Rector of Hawarden,
has issued a circular letter to the tithepayers of
Hawarden, in the course of which he says, "We have
passed through a series of what is generally known as
bad years, and the present year has been in many
parts of the country a bad one for agriculturists, and
I fear for many others. Rents usually are dealt with
by adjustment between landlord and tenant. On two
previous occasions during the past 14 years I felt it
right to mark my sympathy with my tithepayers, who,
as you know, form a large portion of the community
—once by placing £2OO to the credit of the charities
of the parish, and once by making a return of 10 per
cent. It is agai'l my intention, as a matter of kindly
feeling between man and man, to make a return of 10
per cent, at the two next audits, in January and July."
In conclusion, after dealing with the parish finances,
the rev, gentleman says: "This diminution I shall
cheerfully boar, knowing, as I do, that harmeny be-
tween yourselves and me has invariably nrevailed."
