George Binns, aged 67, of 22, Prince of Wales Terrace, Scarborough, who was knocked down by a Corporation lorry in Aberdeen Walk, Scarborough, on Saturday night, died in the Scarborough Hospital yesterday from his injuries. He slipped off the kerbstone into the lorry, which came close to the footpath, apparently to avoid a tramcar.

Mr Edward Binns.

One firm that will be widely represented in Sunderland homes during the festive season is that of Mr Edward Binns. At Christmas time everyone appreciates the class of delicacies for which Mr Binns is famed, not only on Wearside, but far beyond. His iced Christmas cakes are of a quality which cannot be too highly extolled. To say they are delicious does not convey one half of the exquisite satisfaction which they give to the palate, and not to have them on the table will be to deprive those around it of one of a veritable pleasure. But this is but one of his many specialties. For mince pies, veal and ham pies, and game pies no shop can be more highly recommended, and the same may be said of the fruit cakes, plum puddings, and iced shortbread cakes. For fun at home Christmas crackers are a grand institution. Many articles, including chocolate, are supplied by Mr Binns in boxes, and make most seasonable presents. The firm has been established nearly half a century, and its reputation for excellency increased year by year.

BENEFIT OF PROPER START IN LIFE

Emphasis At Meeting Of Children's Mission

The great benefit of a proper start in life was emphasized by Mr Daniel Edward, who presided at the 51st annual meeting of Prospect Row Children's Mission last night.

Mr Edward Binns, the Superintendent, reporting on the work of the year, pointed out that the average attendance on Sunday evenings was 450 scholars. The Sunday School, under Mr Robert W. Hopper, was being well maintained and the Young Men's Class, under Miss F. Taylor, was also well supported.

Mr Binns mentioned that the activities of the Mission were being carried on by several former members in other towns and overseas.

[ . . . ]

Mr Edward Binns (superintendent), in an account of the work of the mission, gave as examples the lives of many men and women who attended as children. He added that while the Corporation had offered them another site and a new building, he preferred the present one, which was so suitable to their work.

FAREWELL TO MISS V.M. BINNS.

At Bethesda Free Church on Thursday evening at 7.30 Miss Violet M. Binns will address a farewell meeting. Miss Binns, after her furlough, is returning to India for the third time, taking up work among Indian women at the Zenana Training Homes, Poona.

A MISSIONARY'S FAREWELL.

Last night Miss Violet M. Binns held a farewell meeting in the Bethesda Free Church, Tatham Street, prior to her return to India as a missionary. Miss Binns has been engaged in work among Indian women at Zenana Training Homes, Poona, and is returning there for the third time after being at home on furlough. The Rev. W.G. Scroggie, the pastor of the church, presided over a good attendance. In the course of an address, the chairman hoped that God's richest blessing would rest upon Miss Binns' missionary work. They as a Church were pledged to do two things, to pray for her and support her in her work. Miss Binns then delivered an address on her work in India. She mentioned that it was just 15 years since she first left for the mission field, and she then went away with a very sad heart. After going all through those years, however, she was now leaving with her heart full to overflowing of praise at the privilege of again going. Each time she had gone out her passage money came in answer to prayer. Miss Binns dealt at length with the urgent need for missionary effort, and asked all Christian people to give it their support in every possible way.

MISSIONARY "AT HOME."

Successful Gathering in Coach Lane Wesley Church Hall.

One of the most successful social gatherings held this winter was the missionary "At Home" so well attended and keenly enjoyed by a large number of ladies and gentlemen in the Wesley Church Hall, Coach Lane, last night. A number of members of the Young People's League of Service were in attendance on the guests, who greatly appreciated the magnificent and beautiful costumes worn by the young people.

The proceedings were presided over by joint chairmen, Mr R. Davison and Mr J. Hearn, and during an interval Miss Violet M. Binns, a lady with 23 years' missionary experience, addressed that gathering on "The great need of the Gospel in India."

Vocal and musical contributions were given by the following: Miss Muriel Fairbairn, Mr Robert Brown, Mr Lee, and Miss M. Shelton, with Mrs Brown and Miss Balgham as accompanists. The members of the Young People's League provided refreshments.

"Her life was spent for Christ in India."

Was a Missionary in India 40 Years

Miss Violet M. Binns, of Craiglands, Sunderland, who died at the age of 78, was a member of Bethesda Church for 60 years and a missionary in India almost 40 years.

The funeral service took place at Bethesda Church yesterday, conducted by the minister, the Rev. Stanley Voke. Interment was at Bishopwearmouth Cemetery.

The business of confectioner carried on in Sunderland by Edward Binns is transferred to Edward Binns the younger and Alfred Henry Binns and will be carried on by them as sole partners under the style of Edward Binns.

A MOUNTAINEERING RECORD.

A Sunderland gentleman, Mr. Alfred H. Binns, has just established what is believed to be a mountaineering record in the Swiss Alps, in the ascent and descent of the Matterhorn, the journey from the sleeping hut—itself two hours' climb from the Schwartz Hotel—to the summit, and the return to the Monte Rosa Hotel having been performed in eight and a half hours.

HIGH CLASS GOODS.

Alfred Henry Binns, of the Pantiles, was summoned for selling unclassified chocolates at a price exceeding the maximum on April 16.

Mr. F.S. Harries appeared on behalf of the Food Control Committee, and Mr E.G. Bretherton, for defendant, pleaded guilty.

Mr. Harries explained that the price of chocolates depended on whether they were classified or unclassified. Unclassified chocolates should be sold at 1s. 8d. per lb. A lady purchased a quarter of a pound of chocolates, for which she was charged 1s. 3d., which was equivalent to 5s., a pound, but as these were unclassified the priced should have been at the rate of 1s. 8d. Had Mr. Binns applied to have his goods classified he was not prepared to say what price would have been allotted; but it was only fair to defendant to say that he carried on a high class business and produced high class chocolates. The real point in the case was not so much the price, but his failure to get the goods classified. When seen about it Mr. Binns admitted that he made about 25lbs. of chocolates per week. Before the war the charge to the public was 4s. per lb., and now he charged 5s. He said he did not know he had to get them classified.

Mr. Bretherton said that since an officer called on Mr. Binns he had withdrawn the chocolates from sale and forwarded a sample for classification. Only that morning he had received the classification which put the chocolates in the highest class, that of 5s. per lb., which had been charged. It was not a case of defendant charging more than he was entitled to.

The Mayor said the magistrates were satisfied that there was no corrupt intention. The public had certainly not been defrauded, but Mr. Binns should have submitted the chocolates for classification. In the circumstances the fine would be £1, with three guineas costs.

TRAMWAYS COMMITTEE.

At a meeting of the 16th of April, a report was received from the sub-committee, re the appointment of a tramways engineer, which showed that 119 applications had been received for the post. Of these three had been selected, and the Committee ultimately resolved to recommend the Council to appoint Mr. Walter Binns, A.M.I.E.E., the senior engineer of the Newcastle-on-Tyne Corporation Tramways Power-station.

APPOINTMENT FOR A SUNDERLAND ELECTRICIAN.—Mr Walter Binns, of Sunderland, was yesterday appointed superintendent electrical engineer for the Corporation of Reading.

PRESENTATION TO AN ELECTRICIAN.

Last night a presentation took place at the Newcastle Corporation Offices, when Mr Walter Binns, late assistant engineer, Manor's Power Station, was the recipient of a handsome silver rose bowl on an ebony plinth, and also a pair of silver flower vases, from the staff of the Power Station, as a mark of esteem on the occasion of his leaving Newcastle to take up his appointment as general manager and engineer of the Reading Corporation Tramways. Mr Rossignol, the general manager, in presenting the gifts to Mr Binns, alluded to his work in the Power Station, and the efficient way in which his duties had been carried out. Mr Binns suitably acknowledged the gifts.

READING Corporation invite tenders, by noon 2nd prox., for supply and delivery of six double-decked bogie electric tramcars and one electrically-driven water-cart. Specification, general conditions of contract, and form of tender may be obtained on returnable payment of £2 2s. from Mr. Walter Binns, engineer and manager, Tramway Office, Mill-lane. Sealed tenders, endorsed "Tender for Bogie Cars, &c.," must be delivered to the engineer.

PARTING GIFT

PRESENTATION TO MR. BINNS

An interesting ceremony took place in the Municipal Buildings, Reading, last evening, when Mr. Walter Binns, managing engineer of the Reading tramways department, was the recipient of a pair of silver salvers from the officials of the borough of Reading, in testimony of their esteem and goodwill on his leaving the town. Mr. Binns will shortly take up an important post at Brazil.

The town clerk (Mr. W.S. Clutterbuck), who made the presentation in the absence of the mayor, said they had met together on many similar occasions, but at no time had they met with so much regret as they did that evening. They had to take leave of an exceedingly valuable colleague, whose services to the corporation had been conspicuous. Mr. Binns was leaving to take up an appointment of a more lucrative and important nature than he had held during his 9½ years in Reading. It was an appointment which he did not seek but one which was offered to him, and this showed very plainly that his merits had been recognised outside Reading (applause).

Mr. Craven, the newly appointed managing engineer, and Mr. H. Lund, borough accountant, also spoke and referred in eulogistic terms to the valuable services rendered, and good feeling shown by Mr. Binns during his work in Reading, and they accorded him the best wishes of the whole of the corporation officials for his services in his new sphere of labour.

Mr. Binns suitably replied.

WORKMEN'S PRESENTATION.

Another interesting presentation took place at the Tramway Depot on Tuesday afternoon, when the workmen of the department assembled together to give a hearty send-off to their old chief. As a mark of goodwill and esteem for Mr. Binns, the men had subscribed for a very handsome set of gold cuff links and gold studs as a parting gift to him. In the presence of a crowded gathering of the men, the presentation was made by Mr. G.F. Craven, the new general manager, who referred to the good feeling which had existed between Mr. Binns and his staff. Mr. Binns in acknowledging the gift, spoke of the excellent way in which the men had carried out their duties and thanked them for the kindly feeling which had prompted the gift, a gift which he had especially pleasure in accepting.

Mr. Binns left Reading for Brazil on Tuesday evening, and a goodly muster of the staff assembled on the platform to give him a hearty send-off. After wishing him bon voyage, and giving him rousing cheers, those present feeling sang "For Auld Lang Syne" as the train steamed out of the station.

MR. WALTER BINNS.—Mr. Walter Binns, formerly engineer and manager of the Reading Tramways and now at Para, South America, is on a four months' holiday, and has visited old friends at Reading. Mr. Binns, who is returning to Para after his holiday, was apparently in the best of health.

Mr Walter Binns, a son of the late Edward Binns, of Sunderland, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a distinguished engineer, who has been responsible for many public works in South America, performed the opening ceremony at the annual sale of work organized by the ladies of Grange and Union Congregational Churches for the London Missionary Society, and held in the Royalty Social Centre.

[ . . . ] Mr Binns said it was true that the white man's prestige in Africa is no longer what it was, but General Smuts had declared that it had proved the greatest moral factor in the betterment of Africa, and this was in a large measure due to the enormous impression which David Livingstone made on the natives.

MARRIED IN LONDON

SUNDERLAND 'GROOM—BEDFORD BRIDE

The wedding has taken place at All Souls' Church, Langham Place, London, of Mr Walter Binns, youngest son of the late Mr and Mrs Edward Binns of Sunderland, to Miss Hilda Marjorie Timaeus, youngest daughter of the late Rev. and Mrs Frances Plevy Timaeus, of Bedford.
