VICTORIA.
Melbourne, March 24. The engine drivers on the railway are in a state of ferment, all stating that they are subject to harsh treatment from Mr Allison Smith, and they demand his removal from his position. They allege that Mr Smith is responsible for the bungling work recently discovered in the Locomotive Department. In the polling for the reduction of the number of hotels in Ballarat East the local optionists obtained a majority of 405 in favor of reducing the hotels from 72 to 27. In Geelong it is expected that the polling will show a similar result. The wrestling match between Connor and Cannon resulted in a win for the former, who secured the first two falls. The decision of the referee has, however, been disputed, At Robb's building to-day a most serious accident happened. A lift had reached the third story when the wire rope snapped and the lift /ell to the ground injuring four persons badly.
