'' May 10. A man named Hoey was killed by a fall of earth at Springston yesterday.
A quarrel having arisen between the City Council and the church property trustees, the former refused to do any scavenging work on some land of the latter's in Kilmore-street. - The consequence was serious. A man died in the hospital from a disease contrated through living in one of the houses. The Board of Health interfered and did some cleaning work on its own responsibility, but as the quarrel is not settled the tenants are obliged to look out for other residences, it being impossible to stay with safety in the houses in Kilmore-street.
Mr Ivey, the master of the agricultural school, has been making experiments with seed wheat and blueetone, upon which he reports that the bluestone offered for sale last season here was shamefully adulterated.
The Mutual Sickness and Accident Insurance Association now numbers 150 members.
