Darlington Theatbb Miss Janaette Steer had a most hearty reception on her reappearance at this theatre last night and one which must ha been in every way gratifying to her The tragedy Cloven was played for the fust time in Darlington and this dramatisation of Miss novel was well received by the popular parts of the house As Lavra Treverlon and La Chieot Mis Steer bad heavy- demands mad upon her but she was-equal to them and rendered the contrasting characters in a manner which gave further evidence of bet versatility The tambourine pas seal in the second act was most charmingly danced by

Phil Society Mr Begley Mr Jeremiah Head read a paper entitled "Observations on Various Matters of Interest to Engineers in the United States of in which the extensive industrial undertakings in Philadelphia Pittsburgh Chicago and the large centres in th Southern States were described Touching upon American rail mills Mr Head stated that the general system of rail-rolling adopted at the modern works in the United States differed considerably from what was thought to be the-best practice in England No expenditure seemed to have been spared in any direction in which it might be likely to toll favourably on the resu't And that result was undoubtedly a much larger output per man employed and probably also per £100 of outlay than had yet been achieved in the old country At the mines collieries and blastfurnaces in the Birmingham district coloured labour preponderated everywhere Negroes seemed to be well adapted for heavy and rough labour with or without the aid of machinery In concluding the paper the speaker observed that if the peopleof the United States had still a good deal to learn from us it was equally certain that we had a good deal to learnt from them He instanced the American watch trade as one department of knowledge in which they had beaten us Notwithstanding that labour prestige and experience were in our favour English consumers were now buying American watches in large qualities and better ones for the money than can be made here A-discussion followed in which reference was made to steamers of 2000 tons being able to voyage from the Atlantic to Chicago Reference was also mads to the developeinent of the new metal aluminium and to its becoming mors generally adopted owing to the reduction in its price In answer to a question with regard to labour Mr Head stated that in the mines Hungarians were mostly employed Skilled miner were- very scarce and they made very high wages A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Head and his son IMPERIAL

FERGUSSON I am informed by tbe Indian Office that all the information possessed by the Secretary of State on this subject has been forwarded to the newspapers Consequently I am not able to add anything to it If the House wishes to know anything as to the cause of the affair I can only give it in a very brief form The affair at Manipur was caused entirely by domestic differences betweew the Maharajah and his brother Tbe Maharajah being alarmed for his safety took refuge at the British Residency and subsequently made application to quit the State leaving affairs in a condition in which it was not thought prudent by the Government of India to alkiw them to remain Accordingly the Commissioner of Assam wentont to place things on a proper footing and met with resistance from tbe brother of the Maharajah who is commanding the troops Of coarse active measures will be taken to restore order and to place tbe Government of the state on a secure footing A despatch from the Government of India

Her Majesty had seen fit to allot this house to the duke in question The Committee divided and rejected Mr motion by 85 to 55 Sir Gbobgr Campbell Dr Clabk and Mr Barclay protested against a charge being made for admission to Holyrood Palace when no similar charge was made in the case of Hampton Const and Windsor Mr PLUNKET promised that the matter would bo inquired into but declined to give any

of Elizabeth Watson aged 3ft years wife of William Wateon a stevedore living at 16 Durham place The evidence showed that the deceased was confined about midnight on Friday On the following evening the husband and another man had a drunken row in the house and this caused the woman to get out of bed and seek shelter elsewhere Catherine Hildrey a neighbour aid she found the deceased in a Mrs house where there was no fire She took the deceased to her house where she remained uutil the following morning (Sunday) Witness took the deceased home and put her to bed when the husband ordered her out On the following morning deceased complained of internal pains and Dr Young was sent for but upon the arrival of his assistant she was dead Dr Young said from what he bad learned about the case he was of opinion that a blood clot had been carried into the brain which caused an attack of apoplexy This clot was caused by the woman knocking about so soon-after confinement If sbe had been kept quiet and properly nursed this cause of death might have been prevented The jury returned a verdict accordance with the medical testimony but expressed the opinion that the eiceumstaocas reflected seriously upon the husband The Coroner said the jury would have noticed the manner in which the "witnesses living near th deceased gave their evidence It was quite clear there had been a terrible row in tbe house sufficient to frighten the deceased out of her bed and the house and that the husband was under the influence of drink The husband was then called in and severely censured by the Coroner who remarked that the jury after very carefully considering the case-bftd arrived at tbe conclusion that he was really responsible for the death of hi wif The line between misadventure and manslaughter was a very flu one and he had juet managed to keep- himself on the safe side There was no doubt but that adrunken frolic waa indulged in by the husband and bis friends and tbia so frightened tbs unfortunate woman that she could not rest in the houst and sought shelter elsewhere The result of this- exposure was the death Tbe best thing that could be- done- for the husband-would he to send him to Northallerton for six months It waa perfectly horrible that a man who was supposed to be gifted with reason even to a small degree should have behaved to a wife like this husband bad done In addition he had come there with the intention of misleading the jury as he had tried to show that he was sober The Coroner concluded by stating that further inquiries might lead to something that tbe husband little dreamed of SHIPPING NEtra HIGH WATER a-m am Middlesbro 2 27 2-52 Hartlepool 2 10 2-35 Shields 3 2-5 2-30 Hull 6- 7 5-32 THIS DAT pib faith 1-7- 1-32 Liverpool 10-12 10-37 London US 0 33

PRESENTATION TO MAJOR AINSWORTH JP Last night Maior Ainsworth JP who hat been connected with the Stockton Companies of the 1st Volunteer Battalion of Durham Light Infantry for over 30 years was entertained to dinner at the Black Lion Hotel Stockton and presented with a handsome testimonial on his retirement from the regiment after so long and so honourable a service a service which bas seen him lie from the grade of private gradually to that of major The chair was oocupied by Colonel Sadler JP commanding the regiment who was supported by the guest of the evening and by Major Ropner JP CC Major Johnson Major Harrison Captain and Adjutant Golightly Captain Ropner Captain Harris Captain Smith Lieutenant Macfarlan Lieutenant Watson Lieutenant Watson Lieutenant Brown and Quarter-Master Hopper There was a large attendance about 125 officers noncommissioned officers privates and ex-members of the corps being present The usual loyal toasts were heartily honoured after dinner Alderman Hind JP proposed Army Navy and Reserve and referred with pleasure to hi early association with his good hearted friend Major Ainsworth aa a member of the Stockton corps (Applause) That waa the only fault he had with Major Ainsworth and other full members of the corps and that was that they shut little members like bimself in the ranks hid them from the admiring gaze of the ladies and took all the glory to themselves (Laughter and applause) Captain and Adjutant Golightlt and Sergeant-Major Bybnc responded to the toast The Chairman made the presentation to Major Ainsworth which consisted of a handsome silver tea and coffee service and salver an illuminated address and a splendid brooch for Mrs Ainsworth The gallant Colonel said it was always difficult to speak of a man as one would like in his presence and especially of such a man as Major Ropner (Hear bear) His feelings that evening were of a mingled character because he felt extreme regret at Major severenca from them and almost regretted that they had not threatened the Major with th ordeal of that night and then he would probably have been induced to retain hia position (Laughter and applause) However it was a pleasure to him (Colonel Sadler) to present to express the goodwill he felt towards Major Ainsworth a feeling of goodwill which was universal in th corps (Applause) It was about 100 years since a Volunteer corps was originally established in Stockton so that a patriotic feeling seemed to be hereditary in the good old seaside town (Applause) But 100 years ago volunteering was much different from what it was now Then tbe men had to purchase their own uniforms and accoutrements and had other heavy expanses to bear Ho believed Major Ainsworth aud Captain Thompson were the first two to sign the roll of th modern Stockton Volunteer Corps and that was some 31 years Well that was a long service as a volunteer and1 during some 23 or 24 years of service Major Ainsworth had been a commissioned officer and for a long period too he was almost solely responsible for a serious finaucielresponsibiliiy in connection with the corps (Hear hear) But Major Ainsworth wa3 now retiring with th pleasing knowledge-that the finances of the Corporation were on the whole satisfactory (Applause) Having referred in eulogietic terms to Major public service Stockton Colonel Sadler said that it was a pleasure to him to ask the Major to accept- that spontaneous outburst and expression in tb shape of a testimonial of th good feeling which was entertained towards him by hie old and bis new comrades of th corps- (Applause) On behalf not merely of thStock-ton Corps but of the whole regiment he wished long life and good health and great prosperity Major and Mrs Ainsworth and that a life which had been characterised by such honourable and unselfish motives might be crowned with that which it deserved long and dignified and pleasant repose amongst his friends and neighbours (Load cheers) Major health wa enthusiastically dm nk Major AiNSWOBrrn on rising to respond was again enthusiastically received He said he was sorry for it and most apologia for being no public speaker It was however gratifying to think that anything he hod done had met with their approbation (Applause But at th sam time he thought they had ovor-ruted hi services A great deal was due to other and espeeially to the Sergeant-Instructor and the nnn-ctunimssionod officers who had don a great deal of- hard work in the oorpe He- had no hesitation in saying that th non-commissioned officers of this corps were the smartest in the Nor tii of England (Applause) He wished the corps much success and again thanked them most heartily -and sincerely for their very great kindness (Cheers) Major Johnson in proposing- "Siteeees to th Town and Trade of referred to the greiit development of the town and district and said he waa-glad that there was no reel jealousy between the two towns of Stock too and Middlesbrough (Applause) Major Rofnck in responding expressed- th pleasure it gave him to south in honouring Major Ainsworth who had dune no much and done it so unobtrusively for tb end he had also to compliment Captain II Smith on the Completeness of his arranger men is for that entertainment (Applause)-With regard to Major JohnsouV boast lie waa glad there was no antagonism between the two towns and though he entertained no jealousy of what the Tees Conservaaey Commissioners bad den for the lower reaches of the river stiff he tkooght the people of Stockton bad reasonable ground for complaint that nothing in comparison bad been done for them in the greater keeping of the river (Applause) With a 0i eater depth of water to Stockton he foresaw very roneb greater prosperity for the towny and he hoped th Commissioners would soon enable Stockton to taka its right position amongst shipping placet (Applause) Colour-Sergeant Harrison also responded Succr es to the Stockton waa proposed by
