PALMERSTON DAY BY DAY.
6 • POWEEKA-CURRENT SURMISES., Ul> Tt-lograiir. Snerial Correspondent.i Palmcrston,- August 28. Of course everybody here is deeply interested ill the escape of Powolka, and to-day scarcely anything else than his latest break-out is talked of. Some apprehension is in ovidqucc that Powolka may now (with the start ho has got) get into this part of the country again. On tho other hand, a shrewd minority hold tho opinion tha't he is now harboured by a 'confederal!! in Wnlliiii'ton, and, mayhap, like Jonathan Roberts, will never bo heard of again. Naturally enough the gaol authorities in Wellington are coming in for very strong comment by country people. When Powolka broke away from tho Palmcrston lock-up, there was some excuse, because tho facilities for holding such a man are anything but good, but, in a gaol which is suiiposed to bo up to -date, no such excuse holds. A meeting of business people is to bo held on Wevbiwbiv «■-■•>■ k '<-, .unifier tho question of closing at 12 o'clock nm-i stead of at 1 p.m. on Ue auwtory halfholiday.
