MISS LOUISE DAVENPORT.

HER REPORTED MARRIAGE A

CANARD,

Among the through passengers by the mail steamer Mariposa to San Francisco is the

popular and accomplished young actress,

Miss Louise Davenport, widow of Mr W. E_ Sheridan, the well-known tragedian, who died in Sydney some months since.

Miss Davenport was interviewed on board tho steamer this af tenoon by a Star reporter. She was dressed simply but tastefully in widow's weeds, and her face bore testimony to the mental pain and distress, which the loss of her husband had caused her. In the course of conversation she said: — " My intentions are not absolutely deter mined. I have two professional offers from America —one being from Mr Burrs, the tragedian, to play with him in his specialty piece, • Lost in London,' but it is doubtful whether I shall accept and stay. I may, on the contrary, go straight through to England in order to study a special characterisation as a preliminary to-making my debut in one of the principal theatres in London. But my present dis position is rather to defer for a while this English project—which I purpose carrying out ultimately—and return to Australia by the Mariposa in March or early in April, just as her time may be fixed. In that event I may stop a week or so in Auckland, en route to Sydney, where I should propose to open a theatre besides resuming my dramatic classes, in which I have taken a great interest.

Allusion having been made to Mr Sheridan's death Miss Davenport continued

—".Yes ; it was a heavy affliction for me, and all the heavier because I was not near him when he passed away. I was fulfilling an engagement at Adelaide when the news came that he had been stricken down in Sydney, and as the tf-ains then did not run on Sunday although they do now. I only reached him seven hours after he breathed his last. No I owe a greater debt of gratitude to private friends than to theatrical people for practical help in this time of trouble. Of the £140 absorbed by the expenses of funeral and tombstone, two or three private friends found all but £24 which the members of the profession subscribed. .Our reporter showed Miss Davenport the following paragraph which has been going the rounds of the press and evidently comes from an American source:—"Mrs Mamie L. Sheridan, the widow of the late William E; Sheridan, who died a few months ago in Australia, Jias beet married to Mr Robert C. Hudson, of the firm of Hudson and O'Neil, managers of Mr Frederick B. Wardo, the tragedian." Asked if there was any truth in it she re plied:—" Why of course not. The lady re- J ferred to was Mr Sheridan'a Becond wife)

from whom he had been divorced. \es ; I was his third wife. His first wife was divorced. They were shipwrecked to gether at the entrance to New _ork Har bour and after being five hours in the water she was washed out of his arms and drowned. My name is not Mamie, but Anna Louisa. I know that the paragraph has been taken to refer to me, bub I have nob taken the trouble to contradict it. I should just like you to mention, however, thab I intend to drop my sbagename of Miss Louise Davenport, and that for the future I shall be known as Mrs Louise Sheridan.'

FATALLY SCALDED.

A WARNING TO MOTHERS.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN COBBESI'ONDENT.)

Dunkdix, this day. At the inquest on Mrs Powell's child, Dr Brown, who attended the deceased, said he treated ib for congestion of the lungs, which was the immediate cause of death ; bub this is not an uncommon cause of death after burns and might havo been caused by the burns and was moro likely to occur in this case, because the child had been suffering from thrush or from sonie thing similar to the thrush. He could not say for certain that the congestion was caused by the burns. The child might have been suffering from some bowel affliction ab the time of the scald ing. Inspector Wcldon suggested that ib would bo satisfactory to take advantage of Dr. Brown's presence to get him to make an external examination of the body, and the witness said that he would very much like to do so, as on his former visits he had nob made a close ex amination for fear of disturbing the child while it was in pain. After bcingabsent for a short time witness continued : I find that the principal part of the child's back, but tocks. I measured the extent of about twelvo inches, up and down, and 9 inches across, that in addition to the ex tent of surface I mentioned before on the upper surface of the right foob there is a mark of a scald 1J inches long by an inch wide, and on the left foob there is a small scald at tho root of the toes. I did nob undress the child. The scald is a severe one. After seeing this scald I am of the same opinion as before, bhab it would increase any tendency the child had to bowel complaint and might accelerate death. By Inspector Weldon : The water that the child was put into was certainly too hot for a child. The scalds of themselves would be dangerous. By Mr Hislop : The scalds had not so far healed at the day of death so as to cease to be dangerous. 1 have mot with cases where children havo been scalded by being put into water that was too hot. I can quite understand an excitablo woman liko Mrs Powell putting a child into water that was too hot especially if she has been in the habit of working amongst hot water and her hands have to some extent losb their sensibility to heat. Ido nob think that such a mistake could havo been made by a careful mother, but ib is possible that in the state of excite ment she did not see that tho water was too hot. The child was well nourfshod and clean. By tho foreman : I think that the scalding in itself was sufficient to causo death.

Maggie Douglas, .seven years of ago, who was in Mrs Powell's employ np till last Tuesday said that the deceased had a tit on the 9th November. On tho morning of the day on which tho scalding took place tho child was well and running about. Mra Powell sent witness for some, water in tho bath, but afterwards said that the bath was too big, and had brought in a tin basin. It was a small, deep basin. Witness got some warm water out of tho kettle, which was on the lire, and also some out of the range boilor. The water in the kettlo waffliearly boiling, and that in tho boiler was cool." Witness felt tho water with both hands; it did not feel too hot when the water was put down. Mrs Powell said, "Is that right?" and wit ness replied, "I think so." Mrs Powell then put Violet's feot into the water. The child did not seem to bo in a lit when her feet wero placed in the water, and did not cry or make any noise. After taking tho child's feet out of the writer Mrs Powell bathed the child with water continuing this for about ten minutes. The cliiltl did not cry but shook itself. It was not put into tho water. Witness was sure that Mrs Powell laid the child on tho bed and then said that the skin was coming off. Mrs Powell went away for a neighbour and telephoned for a doctor. When Mrs Powell said the skin was coining off, she seemed sorry and was about to cry. By Inspector Wel don : Mrs Powell was not in a temper when she shook the child; it was after the shak ing that the fit came on ; the child did not make any sign of pain when it was in tho water. Witness was sure of that. I)r Maunsell, who examined the child on the 21st, testified to the extensive nature of the scalding. The child seemed to be well nourished. The mother was in freat distress. She said it had been one in a second in a great hurry. The child had, she said, taken a convulsive fit, and she had popped it into the water for a second before finding that the water was toohot. The appearances wereinaccordance with this statement. The cause of death was the extensive scald. If at, the time of the scalding the child had been suffering from a bowel complaint the scald ing would accelerate death. It would be bound to do one thing or the other, either cause death or accelerate it. By Inspector Weldon : A child may be scalded by a lower temperature than that which would scald an adult. Adults accustomed to handling hot water might keep their hands in .watqr, wjpch would scald a child. Inspector Weldon : And produce deadly effects ? Witness: Yes, when scalded over an extensh-e surface.

By Mr Bishop -. During the last 20 years I have known of cases of infants being scalded by being bathed in water that was too hot.

The mother of deceased, in the course of her evidence, said she left it to the child Douglas to say whether the water was hot enough. The child was only left in the basin a couple of seconds. The Coroner : Do you think it was safe to leave to a girl eleven years of age ?

Witness : Maggie is fourteen years old. Her mother told me so. I was so nervous I hardly knew what I did. I thought I should let the girl drop. I dipped in twice. The v/ater did not burn my hands.

By the Coroner : I have only used warm water this once, but Mrs Anscombe used it on a previous occasion.

By Mr Hislop: In using warm water on this occasion I thought I was simply following a remedy that I had seen done by Mrs Ariscombe, with success. Dr. Martin some time ago recommended me not to use hot water in the event of the fit coming on. I was most attentive to it, and anxious that everything be done towards its recovery. Tho jury, after retirement, announced that their verdict was that the death of-the child was caused by scalds received through the gross carelesness of the mother. The oroner pointed out that this was equiva lent to a verdict of manslaughter. The jury said they did not intend to go so far ; I and after further consideration returned the following verdict:—" That the death of the child was caused by scalds re ceived through the carelessness of the mother in not seeing that the water was of the proper temperature." In answer to a question from the jury the Coroner said that he would take time to consider what should be done. The case has caused a.

goo; 1 , deal of excitement, as in October last Mrs Powell was charged with ill-treatment and wounding the child, when she was then fined £5 and bound over. The police have since decided to take no farther action in the case.

WAITOTARA ELECTION PETITION.

(BY TELEGRAPH.— PBESS ASSOCIATION.)

VVanoanui, this day. Ik the course of further examination on Saturday afternoon, the witness Hogg, stated that he received a telegram late on the night of polling stating that respond entsretuvn was certain. He then "shouted "> for all hands including Mr Bryce's sup porters. Mr Bell proposed to examine wit ness as to who were present ab treating on a previous occasion. Mr Tiavers raised the point as to whether this evidence was admissible contending that under the New Zealand act treating on days other than polling: day was not a corrupt practice. Alter lengthy argument bycounsolthe point was reserved. Harry Lothbridge deposed that on polling day the last witness, Hogg, pulled a bank note out of his pocket saying: -tins is the last of old George's (respon dent) money!" Alex Simpson uvrvye that respondents shouted for several people ab Turakina after addressing a political meet ing.—William Ross said he worked in re spondent's interests. After the election he made a remark that he should stick respou peub up for a billeb. The person to whom this remark was made afterwards told him thab if he would make bhe statement to a prominent supporter of Mr Bryce's lie would be well paid for it. Andrew Graham said he was ab Kerioi when respondent ad dressed the electors there. After the meet ing, Percy brought in whisky, and said, "Hero, boys, help yourselves." F. J. Knox said he saw Hogg ab Turskins on polling day. Saw him drinking wibh several others. Saw Hogg pay for drinks. Saw respondent and Hogg at Turskins after respondent's lirsb meeting there. Heard Hogg ask respondent for money. Respondent pulled out a sovereign case, and handed more than one coin. Hogg remained at the -hotel. There was some " shouting,"' bub could nob say who "shouted." Several other wit nesses Mere examined to the same effect.

This morning Walter Morgan swore that Peter Hogg treated witness and several others to drink on the polling day at Tura kina. He did nob see Hogg pay for tho drinks. Witness was not a voter. Janws Hogg, farmer, gave cor rorabive ovidv-.co as to hearing Peter Hogg address a question to the respon dent on tho evening ol the meeting ad dressed by tho latter at Turakina, and us to seeing respondent hand Hogg two or three gold coins. Alfred Barlow, who acted as scrutineer for respondent ab one of the polling booths, had received no money from respondent for services, had nevor shown a pound note saying it was from respondent for his services on election day. A. B. Pyomont, alleged to havo treated on polling day, admitted treating several acquain tances.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(from our special correspondent.)

Londo.v, October 21, The Agent General.

Ax absurd canard, set afloat by heaven knows-who, is current in Anglo-colonia' society to the effect that Sir George Grey will succeed Sir F. D. 801 las Agent- General for 2s T ew Zealand. One of the weekly papers discusses tho probability quite seriously, at the same time remarking that if the " old man eloquent" refuses the " coveted post" it will be offered to Sir It. Stout. I wish there were, indeed, any chance of Sir Roberts coming to London. The position and responsibilities of Agent- General become more and more important every year, and it is imperatively necessary that Sir Francis Bell's successor should be a first-class man, both politically and socically. Death of Lady Brassey. A report has been current here that poor Lady Brassey's death was most tragic. Maddened by fever she leapt overboard fol lowed at once by her husband, who was ■with difficulty saved from sharing his clevet and devoted wife's fate. Lord Brassey is described as quite broken down by the blow. Lady ttrassey's Literary Remains- It is understood that Lady Brassey, whose premature death has caused a sincere feeling of concern amongst all classes of society, leaves behind a voluminous diary of Australasian experiences, portions of which were sent home from Sydney, and are already in the publishers hands. Her lady ship, despite somewhat threatrical predilec tions, was genuinely.popular in the London world, and will be much missed. Hot house in Park Lane was the scene of many of the most interesting reunions of the season. Whoever the '' lion " of the hour happened to be you were certain to meet him there. Never shall I forget the determination with which at the Colonial Institute soiree of a few years back Lady Brassey bore down on Tawhaio and his chiefs, and to the intense disgust of that sleepy and tired potentate insisted on carrying off him and his party to supper in Park Lane. The visits to Normanhurst (the Brasseys " show " place and near Hastings) were amongst the most successful excursions of the Colonial Exhibition season and will long be remembered by those who took part in them. The Selwyn Scandal. . The latest developement of this painful affair is a savage attack in "Vanity Fair" on Captain Selwyn, M.P., for having tacitly acquiesced in tho "Pall Mall Gazette's" publication of the story. Colonel Hallett continues to go about as usual, and has not even absented himself from the " Rag" as the great service club is popularly called. A Hussian officer draws attention to the fact that if the gallent Colonel had been his countryman he would have been court-marshalled and cashiered long ago. Miss Selwyn is living abroad in strict re tirement. Her eyes have been fully opened to the Colonel's conduct, and she now feels very bitter towards him. Personal and General.. Sir John Gorst says the announcement of his intending visit to New Zealand is pre mature.

Lord Ailesbury's coloniial trip will depend on the advice given ham by Mr George .Lewis whom he has, consulted as to the desirability of proceeding against ■the Stewards of the Jockey Club (•for libel. His Lordship emphatically i Monies that he gavej Martin instructions „ o '' rope " Everitt. He was ab Newmarket last week, and with, doubtful tasbe, at tended the sale of his horses, which fetched a a übstantiul total. Though unable to set foeA 1 " on the Heath, l«he noble lord viewed the .race for the Cesa rewitch from a distant eerie on the Cambridge Road.

The author of " Ginx'si Baby " will, of course, pay "exes by lecturing. "it does* nob appear to be generally known thab Mrs 1 Farley wife of the unfortunate rector of Oretingham whose throat was cut by his curate "some three weeks back, resided for- some years 'en New Zealand land. She was then the; wife of Lieut. Colonel Monte, and well-known in the North Island. W.ben Colonel Monte died, his widow retur.ued to; England, and in 1881 espoused poor Mr Farley, j Mr VV.
