The conference between the engineers' employees and representatives has been concluded.  An agreement was arrived at for the limitation of overtime. EDWARD IREDALE, 10, Workington, while playing football on Saturday received a wound from a kick, and blood poisoning set in, from which he died on Sunday afternoon. A death occurred at the Bransty Hospital on Friday, but it happily was not that of a patient.  The deceased was a black retriever dog named "Nelly", belonging to the curator, who has thus lost a good and faithful servant. MR. and MRS. WILKINSON, of Rowrah Station, were the receipients of a handsome clock in glass globe, a tea service, and a silver teapot (supplied by MR. SUTTON, Whitehaven).  MR. WILKINSON has completed 25 years service on the railway at Rowrah. Easter Sunday and Monday were great days with the children at the colliers' recreation grounds, where they enjoyed themselves with pasche eggs, oranges, and games on both days.  They had the additional attraction of some good music on Monday. The chief constables of all counties, cities, and boroughs have been requested by the Home Office to furnish the governors of prisons with the antecedents of all prisoners committed to prison for the first time with the view of totally separating them while in prison from the habitual offenders. LIEUTENANT WINDROSS has received a letter from MRS. MITCHELL, Port Elizabeth, in which she thanks MR. BELLMAN for some cabinet photos which she considers to be the best ever taken of herself and husband.  She also acknowledges the kindness of friends in sending copies of the "Gazette" which are "eagerly welcomed". Many thousand trippers visited Carlisle last Monday, and judging by external appearances, two-thirds of them were either Conservatives or Unionists. Primroses adorned the breasts and bonnets of ladies and the button holes of gentlemen, and scores of cyclists had their handle bars profusely trimmed with the modest little flower. A singing class for beginners (female voices) commences on Monday next, in St. James' Infant School, High Queen-street.  The teacher is the REV. B. E. DADLEY, M.A., and as the fee is only 2s  6d for the whole course, there ought to be a good class formed.  The reverend gentleman deserves great praise and every encouragement he takes in promoting good music. The following pupils of MISS CORRIE obtained pass certificates at the examinations held at Whitehaven on the 8th inst., in connection with the local centre examination, senior division, Associated Board of the Royal Academy of Music, and the Royal College of Music, London: --- MISS M.
