The Maryport Advertiser - March 10, 1882

SHORT, LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. ****** THE QUEEN'S ESCAPE.    On Sunday last, aqt St. John's Church, Workington,  thanksgivings were offered for the safety of Her Majesty from the hand of the  assassin, and at the conclusion of the service the National Anthem was played in  place of the voluntary. ****** A NARROW ESCAPE.    An accident happened under peculiar circumstances,  on Saturday last, at the Lonsdale Dock. It appears that Mr. Samuel KENNAUGH,  sailmaker and general shipbroker, was visiting the dock on business, and was  walking by the side of it when, without any warning, the jib of one of the large  cranes struck him and threw him into the basin. He fell between the vessel and  the dock side, and after coming to the surface of the water caught hold of a  ladder that was hanging at the ship's side, and thus effected his escape. He  partly bruised his foot, but that was the only injury that he sustained. The  circumstances are somewhat similar  to those under which a man named ELLIOT  lost his life on the departure of the Grassendale. ****** WESLEYAN BAND OF HOPE.    The Committee and teachers of the Wesleyan Band of  Hope and Silver Star Brigade held their annual entertainment on Monday evening  last, in the Assembly Room. The room was crowded, every available seat being  occupied by an appreciative and orderly audience. The chair was occupied by the  Rev. T. DICKEN, resident minister, who made a few well chosen remarks on the  good work which they had come to support that night, and subsequently introduced  the following programme: Opening address: Otway FELL Recitation, Mary Ann SHAW Recitation, James LIDDERDALE Recitation, R.
