PAINFUL CONTETEMPS.
A FUNERAL AND THE RAILWAYS. (By Telegraph— Special Correspondent.) Masterton, June 6. A painful incident occurred on the Polmerston to Masterton railway to-day. The remains of the late Mr. William Blinkhorne had been placed in the mortuary van at Wanganui; and were being brought to Masterton for interment. At Wooitville the van was shunted off to make room for horse boxes. Members of the friendly societies and others had assembled at the Masterton Railway Station to attend'the funeral on. the arrival of the train this afternoon, and they were naturally perplexed when they discovered that the remains did not arrive. The funeral has, consequently, been post- . ported until Thursday. This is the second occasion during the past fortnight on which a similar incident has occurred.
