The Fatal Accident at Willowby.

THE INQUEST ■

An inquest was held at the house of Mr John (iourley, Winslow, yesterday, touching the death of Arthur Feisty, before Mr E Alcorn, acting coroner,, and a jury of six, of which Mr James Coaley was chosen foreman

Arthur Friaby, Teraaka, father of deceased, said his bon had been working lately on a threshing mill, and was unmarried "

Edward Frlsby, labourer, brother of deceased, said deceased and he were working at Messrs Oiuptnan Bros, farm afc Willowby. On Ttarsday they were'shift ing the mil', and while doing so a wire rope had come oft the dram. There was some delay while It was being replaced, daring which time the engine was not; in motion. Deceased was leaning against the wheel of the engine, talking to witness. Witness heard some one say * right,' and told deceased to look out. Witness turned away, and heard a bomb, and on looking round saw deceased had gob his head in the wheel, Deceased never moved, and was quite dead when they gob him out. John Gourley was driving the engine, and was & careful and capable driver. Witness did not think anyone was to blame. Deceased had plenty of time to get clear of the wheel

To a juror—The engine was not started any faster than usual John G-iarlry. driver of the engine, said he was a certificated eaglna driver, and was employed by Messrs Wilson and Morris. The machine was at Chapman's farm on Thursday. Witness hsd stopped the engine to adjust the rope, and when he was told ib waa right, he reversed the engine and some obstruction occurred. Looking down aaw deceased had got caught in the fly-wheel. Witness called for help and got htm out as soon as possible, bat he was qaite dead. Did not start the engine quicker than aaaal. Witness could not see deceased from his position on the engine This was all the evidence, and the jury returned the following verdict:—' Tnat deceased came by his death through being caught in the fly-wheel of bhe engine, and are satisfied that no blame Is attachable to anyone.'

Mdlle Dolores' Song Recital.

Mdlle, Antocia Dolores (Trebelll) was greeted do her reappearance last night In Ashburton by a large audience, many of whom were drawn by the recollection of the pleasure experienced on the ouoisiou of her last - appearance here, while others were attraoted no doubt, by a desire to hear a vooaliat who, in tho opinion of many, takes first place amongst all the sSogara who have visited New Zsaknd, If we may judge from the enthusiastic applause with whioh all of her items were receive.!, we Bhould say that tbo&e who l.curd her tasb night were more delighted with her than her former audieaoe wa<>, and that ia saying » good deal, McUle. Dolores, hag a charming manner and a fina sUga prei39DCo, whioh are of gte»t advantage to a singer. Bat ib was her voloe and h<n skill In using ib that roused the enthusiasm of the audience. It) has been stud that Ashburton audiences cannon appreciate classical music, but on this occasion, although the program ma contained nothing whioh could be termed other than highoiaas, every item was heartily sooored. With regard to the quality of Mdlle. Dolores' voice, there could be but one opinion as to Us sweetness and flexibility, Her phrasing was admirable a» was shown in a marked degree by her beautiful rende ing of * Nymphs and Shepherds,' and her won d.rful expression was well illustrated by the manner in which she sang •Oh to remember,' the plaintive notes of whioh linger in the memory of at least one of her audience still. Haydn's beautiful eong *My moth, r bide me bind my hair,' whioh was eung with Infinite tenderness and pathos, was a farther illustration that Mdlle, Dolores pleases one of the finest attributes of a fiaisned vocalist, That Bhe is a finished singer, her marvellous treatment of d'.|H oalt piSßßgoa clearly showed, and if he; visit to Asbburbon has no other resu t, it will at least show some of our local vocalists the value of careful training. Mr Clarence Newel accompanied Mdile. Dolores on tbe piano, and played several selections during tbe evening, all of whioh reooived hearty encores, two being responded to. Mr Newell playa with great brilliancy, and it b seldom we have an opportunity of bearing a pianist of each undoubted ability*
