The Winton Murders.

Mrs D»»'a t'ommlttd for Trial

InvercakgiliL, Juno 8

At the Magistrates Court, Mr Poynton, S»M , committed Minnie Dean for trial, for the murder of Dorothy Edith Carter, and discharged her husband Cnarles Dean He said there was no evidence at all ugainst Dean, and hat he le rt the Court without a stain on his character. The police, how ever, were justified in arresting him a< they did not know what evidence might crop up. He thought that whsre the husband and Wife lived together, and where bodies were found bured in their garden, it was quite within reason that the police should suspect the husband of being con nected, and had there been any evidence against him at all he would certainly have committed him. !

Mr Hanlon, solicitor for accused, ad mitted that the police acted fairly, and were entitltd to credit for the way which they had worked up the case. Dean a rook hands with the solicitor and left the court.

Mrs Dean will be tried a*> the sitting of the Supreme Court which opens on Tuesday next.

A Child Accidentally Poisoned.

A Painful €«•«

A very distressing case of accidental poisoning happened on the farm of Mr Peter Stewart, Sea view, Wakanui, on Friday la&t, whereby a preity little girl, aged twenty months, daughter of Mr James Jamieaon and grand-daughter cf Mr Stewart, lost her life Ihe particulars will be found in the evidence taken at the inquest, hut so far the manner in which the child obtained tho poison, is entirely * mystery. The inquest was opened on Saturday at Seaview, before Hon. Major Steward, J.P., acting coroner, and a jury of six, of whom Mr Samuel Baird was chosen fora man, the following evidence bang taken: —

Mary Stewart, on oath, said I am the wife of Peter Stewart, and the deceased Mary Lennox Stewart Jamieson was my grand-daughter. She and her mother, Mrs James Jarnieson, have been staying here five week* tomorrow. Deceased was a bright, heal hy eh Id, one year and eight months old. I saw nothing: wr^ with her since she csme here till yester day, About eleven in the forenoon the child vomited, and continued vomiring several times during the n«xt hour. Her mother nursed her in front of the fire, and after the vomiting ceased I gave the child about a tca-pooaful of port wine with Eome sugar. She did not seem to want to ho.d her head up. She did not gey she had been eating _ anything. Subsequently she was sometimes a lit; 1 brighter, and would sit up and a-«k for a drink. She did not seem unusually thirsty. She waa put to bed about eight •/clock with her mother. At ten o'clock her mother noticed a change and called me, and I pent for the doctor, but before he could arrive the child waa dead She died at 11 p m I doi/o know of anything about the premises which the child could hwe eaten which would have injured her. I do not know of any poison laid for dog 3 about the premise?. Deceased was an active child and was allowed to run about the place She was about, inside and out, yesterday morning. There is no arsenic stored in aiy of the buildings, nor any opened tin of fi»h about the house no? anything of that sorfc about the place which she could have access to. I did not see her in posce.'s'on of any matches. Have never had any rough-on-rats about the place. Cannot account for deceased's illness in any way. There is poisoned wheat in the shed, but the door or the shed is locked. Cannot say that the door was locked yesterday morning, but even if it were not, the door wa« clos'd wi'h a bar which deceased would rave been unable to lift. There is some Milestone en a high, sholf in a building on the premises, Sut the child cjuld not have reached it. There had been no repairs to the lead piping about the house going on lately. Cecil Danforth Greenwood: I am a duly qualified medical practitioner re siding in Afihburton. A message reached me late last nighf, about twenty minutes past eleven, summonirg me to this place I left about a quarter of an hour later and reached here about a qua-ter to one a.m. and on arrival found deceased child dpad. I have to-day made a pod mortem ex amination. From the examination made I am of opinion that the cause of death was inflammation of the stomach and the upper part of the intestines, occasioned by some iirifant poison. I bad not the appliances with me to make a chemical analysis and there fore cannot say what tha particular poison was, but I have kept the contents of the stomach for tint purpose. The bo(?y i» that of a well nourished child. All th-3 organs of the body were qu te healthy, and there was theiefore, no other cause of death that I could discover Tnere was ro external injury of any kind. Mary Stewart, recalled : Not suspecting anything wrong the vomited matter waa thrown away. The child never went out on the road Ihe road to our house is off the main road. Ihe deceased could not have got to the main roarl. Very few people pass along it. I have saen no strangers about the premises. Ido not know of any poisoned wheat having been laid about the place. We have used no arsenic nor anything of 'hat k'nd for poisoning black birds. None of the rest of tho family wre sick yesterday The vomit could not have bee.i preserved for ixaminattor as the child vny.red on the floor and It was cleaned a,w*y. Dr Greenwood replied: There wns nothing in the stqmach of o\ ceased excepting two or three piece 3of clotted milk, some bile and water. At this stage on the application of Sergeant Mo'ler the inquest was adjaurned until Monday next, 17th inst, at 8 p.m ,to allow of an analysis being made by Professor Bickerton of the stomach of the deceas=d ch;ld.

UNKNOWN

A painful illustration of the unhinging effect upon some minds of dabbling in occult science was witnessed in the Magistrate's Court this morning, when a respectably dressed woman named Emily Weaver, was charged before Major Steward and Mr R. Aloorn, J.P.s, with being a dangerous lunatic It appeared from the certificates of Drs Trevor and Laahy and the evidence of -Sergeant Mo ler and Constable H«m mond, that accused is a married woman residing at Woolston, and that she i under the delusion that her husband, De tective O'Jonnor, and others, havi.* entered Into a conspiracy to poison her and further ihit she had great faih in a Mrs McCallum, whom she described as a spiritualist. She (accused) came down to Ashburton on Saturday in search of Mrs McCallum who she supposed to be residing here, with a view to consult her and under the belief that by her aid she could un ravel the plots of the conspirators agaJnsfc her life. fShe ac osted ladies in the street and told her wild story, and called afc Mr Digby's butcher'd shop to warn him not to supply her with poisoned meat, stating that she knew that instructions had been sent from Ohriatohurch to all the butchers here to poison any meat she might buy. Hearing what was going on, the police very properly took charge of her. and Sergeant Moller, with thoughtful con sideration, instead of locking her up over Sunday in a police cell, by anangement With Dr Trevor, had her placed in the p iddcd room at the hospital with a female attendant. When before the d urt this morniog she protested against her deten tion, arguing her case w.ll, but although apparently sane in all other respect?, giving repeated proofs of the unhappy de'usion which has taken posstssion <f her miiid. fehe was committed to Sunny side

The Financial Times, commenting on the South Australian Budget, de clares that South Australia will be one of the most lightly burdened and most Eolven' of the colonies.

Often Tired But Never Weary.

Let's discuss this point for two minutes. Here's a man who says that at a certain period he began to feel tired and weary. That'd precisely the way he puts it in Ins letter. Now anybody has a right to feel tired or fatigued (it's the same thing), after labor or much exercise. It\j the body's fashion of telling you to hold up, to give it a rest. Io is a natural and, in health, with supper and sleep just ahead, a pleasant feel iug. But weariness !—thit's different, 'i hat conns of monotony, of waiting, cf loneliness. Weariness is of the mind, Lot of the body. Eat it can arise in the body, all the same. If this bothers you at first, don t a<*y, stuff! humbug ! but stiviy up ou it. A man may be tired and happy, but not weary and happy. Kor weariness means depresse i spirits, and nerves all sagged down in the mi idle. And when you get bot. at once you will be wise to find out what's gong

wrong. It h a short letter, this is, aiid we can just as well quote the who'e of it. The writer says-''lt was in Novembe*, 1887, when I began to feel tired and weiry. It seemed as if I had no strength left in me. Bafnre that I had alway-i been strong and heal'hy. My appetite was poor, and for days together I could not touch any food that was placed before ow. After every meal tint I did succeed in forcing down I had such dreivlf 1 p .ins in the chest aud back that I was almost afraid to eat. Then there was a sharp pain around the heart, to.>, as though I was stabbed with a knife. "I lost a deal of sleep, and for nights to gether I didn't fltep at all. '! hen I began to lo:eiU-h rjpidly, and was afr.iid I was going inlo a cousump ion. Yet I kept on with my work, however, but it was a hard thing for me, because I was to weak and nervous th d I trembled from head to loot. As time went on I gradua ly got wor.se and worse, and my eyes were suukeaand drawn in. 1 consulted a doc!.or in KcutUh Town. He gave me. medicine, but it did no good. Atter all this 1 got tho idea into my head that. I should not recover.

" One day a lady cimc into the shop, and noticing the state I was in, kindly asked how long I had been ill. I told her all about it, and she said 'You try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup ; it has made me well, and I believe it will do you good.' "I sent for a bottle, and after taking only a few doses I felt relieved. Presently my food agreed with me, and 1 enjoyed my meals. I cou'd sleep batter also, and by keeping on takiog the Syrup I soon got as strong as I ever was iv my life. Since that time (now over four yeara ago), I have been in the let of health. I consider that in all probability this remedy sived my life ; at all events, it restored my health, and life without health don't amount to much. I gladly consent to the publication of this statement, and will answer inquiries. Yours truly. (Signed), G. Vince, 142, Shepherd's Bush Roid, London, W., November 30, 1892."

Thus Mr Vince's unfortunate experience comes to happy end. As he has to work for a living, like mo3fc of us, he is no doubt often tired, but Dover weary any more. And what can possibly be more wearisome than long-continued ilmesa * With him, as with millions, it was the stomach that was in fault. His food entered the stomach and stopped there. So he suffered from two bad results ; he received no strength from it, but he did recive the deadly acids and gases which the fermented s ulf gave binh to Indigestion and dyspepsia. The same old story of pain and misery, and, thank mercy, the same story of restoration and gratitude after an appeal for help had been made to good old Mother Seigel.
