A telegram in last evening'* Dunedin Herald says:—“At four o’clock this morning the Kaitangata coal mine was discovered to bo again on fire. This time it is feared that the conflagration is of a most serious character, but at present it is impossible to ascertain either the exact location or the extent of the fire. It is known, however, that that portion of the mine in which the new engine has lately been erected is burning, and it is supposed that the heating of the engine chimney is the cause. The pi's are all closed up and work entirely suspended, while not a truck load of coal is at present available for delivery. One man had a narrow escape from suffocation.” A case of accidental poisoning has occurred in Christchurch. A man named Foster purchased some boor at the Car.ton Hotel, the beer being put into a bottle provided by the barman. After partaking of the beer Foster became ill, and for some days was in a critical state. He is now able to ga‘about, and will probably recover moderate health, but will always be more or less a sufferer. It appears the bottle in which the beer was put had previously contained oxalic acid. It had been obtained in the usual way from a dealer in old bottles.

Read,—[A dvt.] Holloways Pills.—Nervous Debility. No part of the human machine requires more watching than the nervous system—upon it hangs health and life itself. These pills arc the best regulators and strengthened of the nerves, and the safest general purifiers. Nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy yield to them.

The enquiry into the loss of the Lech Fyne was held yesterday at Lyttelton. The evidence of the Chairman of the Underwriters’Association and the Harbor Master went to show that the vessel left Lyttelton in excellent trim and with sufficient freeboard. She had 1600 tons of wheat, which was insured by Roberts, "Paxton and Co. for L 16.000, which was the full value of the cargo, o.i.f. and profit. She had 26 tons less cargo than on her last voyage. The evidence of tyro stevedores was to the affect that on one side she was under Plitnsoll’s mark, and on the other awash of it, also that several truce loads of cargo wese dumped into her after going into the stream and the Marine Surveyor had left. The Marine Surveyor had been subpoenaed but was out ot the colony. The evidence is to be forwarded to the Board of Trade, London. •
From an article publ shed in this morning’s Timxru Herald, dealing with the resignation of the member for Ashburton, that journal says:—’ Mr E. G. Wright belonged essentially to the “ hard labor gang.' He was always at work. In eypry important question before the House, he deemed it his business at least to go into the matter sufficiently deeply to ascertain whether he could do any good by going farther ; and if he thought he ceuld, he never rested until he had done everything that it was possible for him to do. Ho was one of those members
—the rarest type of all, perhaps—who resemble the Arabs described by Palgravo, in his travels in Central Arabia, whose zeal instead of cooling with time, only grows hotter and hotter the longer they pursue an object. If it took him weeks or months to. follow up an enquiry or to urge a measure, through all the stages of question, notice of motion, motion, committee, prolonged and numerous sittings, examination of witnesses and papers, preparation of evidence, report, motion for adoption of report, and final action thereupon, it made no difference to him. He went ‘trough it all as steadily and persistently and unwearyingly and uncompromisingly as an auger goes through a thick, tough, knotted baulk of timber ; and it was only towards the end of the business that the House fully disoerued how entirely in earnest he was. . . . . Some of the moat successful of our public men have attained success solely by their faculty of never letting it be felt that they were wiser than those they were working with. Mr Wright .was lacking in that faculty, as most very energetic men are, and ha suffered accordingly. But with it all ho exercised an undeniable influence in the House ; and the time was assuredly at hand when he would have filled a very important place there. He was one of the most capable among the younger generation of New Zealand politicians; high principled and disinterested, without being quixotic or eccentric; broad-minded and reasonable, but at the
some time clear-sighted and concentrated; exceptionally active and laborious ; independent in his opinions and perfectly fearless ia the expression of them; courageous without being overbearing; and honorably ambitious without any tendency towards selfish methods of attaining prominence. It is not a little to the shame of Major \tkinson as a leader that ho studioudy discouraged the well-grounded pretensions of such a man as this,—as he has those of every man of ability in his party—and blasted his career by a ( mean intrigue." The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop. Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the coun'-ry had expressed the merits of IT. B„ and in every way trying to induce sulering invalids to u e their, stuff instead, expecting to make money en the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or ‘'Hops ” were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pre'ended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “Hop” or “Hops” in their' name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. _ Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
