DEATH
FULLARTON: At 50 Lancaster Gate, London, on 19th instant, ANN FULLARTON, relict of John Fullarton, Esquire, and mother of Mrs James, of Kerelaw, Ayrshire.
Lancaster gate; - now that is one of the TOP addresses in London, overlooking Hyde Park.
Those Fullartons weren't short of a few bob.
At a meeting of the members and adherents of the congregation, held on Tuesday night, under the presidency of the Rev. D. E. McNab, Ardrossan Parish Church, a committee was appointed to select candidates for the vacancy in the pastorate caused by the removal of the Rev. John Grahame to Belmont, Glasgow.

A distressing fatal accident occurred on Saturday afternoon at a refuse coup at Auchenharvie Colliery, Stevenston.
A number of lads were engaged searching for coal when one of them crept into a hole for the purpose of bringing out some coal. A quantity of loose earth fell and buried him. His companions failed to observe the accident, and some time afterwards a man passing saw the lad’s feet sticking out of the heap.
Assistance was obtained, and he was extricated, but life was extinct.
The body was identified as that of ANDREW PARK ANDERSON, (13), son of Archibald Anderson, miner, residing at 7 Arthur Street, Saltcoats.

Troon with five of their regular team still unavailable fielded three new faces, McIlwraith, Morrison, and Billy Armstrong, all of whom fitted well into a team which always tried to play constructive football against an Ardeer side which was full of spirit, but which was sadly lacking in ideas particularly up front.
The visitors were the first to press, but the Troon defence was tight and O'Brien was untroubled.
Millar in fact was the first keeper in serious action when he had to look lively to save from Murray.
The home team gradually assumed the offensive and after Morris had shot past, the winger and Murray combined well for Denholm to loft the ball past from a good position.
Ardeer were not completely out of the picture, as O'Brien knew when he had to bring off a flying save from a Rankine scorcher.
Then Robertson hit the crossbar with a fine shot and later Billy Armstrong cleared the ball off the line when Smith had beaten O'Brien in a race for the ball and swept it goalwards.
But that was the sum total of the visitors' efforts for the remainder of the first half.
Troon built up pressure and it came as no surprise when Morris crossed a fine ball for Denholm to open the scoring with a flying header.
Five minutes later Morris sent the Ardeer defence running in the wrong direction and gave the ball to Denholm, who cleverly rounded Millar to score a second.
Troon were now rampant and Millar had a heroic save from a Billy Armstrong shot. McIlwraith broke clear, but with only Millar to beat the winger fired inches wide.
Troon took up after the interval as they had left off. Denholm cleverly made ground on the left and crossed for Murray to send in a strong header which Millar could only parry - as he did with a further two shots before Murray forced the ball over the line for Troon's third goal.
The home side maintained their pressure and Denholm hit the post with a strong shot. Then came a typical Morris goal when after collecting the ball from Jamieson he beat four defenders before rounding Millar to score easily.
The Troon effort then slackened and the visitors came more into the game. After a free-kick outside the penalty area had been blocked the ball was only partially cleared and Rankine fastened onto the ball to score with a fine shot.
Then Smith had a great chance to further reduce the leeway, but the centre fired wildly past.
A fine Troon passing movement out of defence saw Morris with a chance to emulate his previous effort, but he was pulled down in the penalty area.
The winger took the kick himself but he was too casual and Millar saved well on the line. The keeper brought off a further fine save from a strong Morrison shot.
The game petered out after this with Ardeer attacking hopefully, but the Troon defence were not in the mood for any more handouts.
In a Troon side which functioned on all cylinders Jamieson and Thompson were most efficient in defence. All their attackers played well, but too many easy chances were missed. For Ardeer Millar was outstanding in goal with Barr and Rankine being the pick of the rest.
Troon : O'Brien; Jamieson and McWilliam; Thompson, G Armstrong and Morrison; McIlwraith, Murray, Denholm, W Armstrong and Morris.
Ardeer Thistle : Millar; Burns and Barr; J Ellis, R Ellis and Robertson; Quinn, Chester, Smith, Rankine and Stewart.
At Saltcoats Justice of the Peace Court yesterday, AGNES WELSH or ROBINSON, 22 New Street, Stevenston, pleaded guilty to a charge of resetting about 55lb. of lead.

Accused, who had a previous conviction, was fined £10, with the option of 30 days’ imprisonment.
Two months were allowed to pay the fine.

This Board met last night – Rev. John Grahame presiding.
With reference to school accommodation, a letter was read from the Education Department stating that it was expedient to re-open the old Public School, but they see no objection to make Kyleshill an infant school if the elder children give regular attendance at other schools in the district.
The Department consider the proper course at present to keep the attendance within the limit for which accommodation is provided, and allow the question of additional accommodation to be decided by experience. They cannot approve of the proposals to add Kyleshill School, or re-open the old Public School.
Should the Ardrossan schools become so full as to render the admission of Stevenston children impossible, it may be necessary to build a larger school in place of Kyleshill.
It was agreed to carry out the suggestion, and a committee was appointed to confer with the inspector.
The grant to Kyleshill School was reported to be £102 15s 6d.

Yesterday morning SAMUEL McKNIGHT, who was on Tuesday arrested on a charge of having assaulted his wife, was taken from Saltcoats Police Station to Kilmarnock, and, after examination before the Sheriff, was committed to prison.
The wounds inflicted on Mrs McKnight were of a serious character, and the authorities deemed it advisable to take her deposition. This was accordingly done by Sheriff Hall at Stevenston yesterday.
Doctor Wallace is in attendance on Mrs McKnight, and hopes are entertained that she will recover.
McKnight is a brusher and worked in the pits at night. He is said to be about 50 years of age.
He was examined by Doctors McVail and W. McAlister yesterday, who, we believe, certify him to be of sound mind.
