An accident happened m Monday

afternoon to Mr Joseph Goad, who -ans : engaged sinking a prospering shaft in the vicinity of Murphy’s daughter yard Kumara. It appeared that the unfortunate man was engaged at the bot-i-m of the shaft and the bucket in descending

l>y some means became detach'd hem the rope and fell to the bottom, striking Goad on the Arm with Such force'that the limb was broken just-above the elbow. Assistance was soon at hand and the injured man was bronught to me .Westland Hospital for treatment. Mr It. .Wild, who lias returned from

the Charitable Aid Boards’ Conference at Wellington, is pleased that Wiry Satisfactory work was' done. He be-

lieves that the subsidy on local body contributions will be increased substantially’ in tlie * ease of Westland,

which will, when brought into force, give marked relief to this district. Ultimately there is tlie desire on the part of the Government Department to take over the full control of the hospitals and charitable administration —a step which wll require to he viewed from different angles. Subsequent to the conference several of the secretaries of the Dominion Boards met, and resolved to form a union .

The reports of a heavy fall in wool on the London market are apparently not going to have any immediate effect in bringing about an early slump in the prices! of clothing in New Zealand (says the Auckland “Star.”), Whatever may be the explanation, it appears that the prices of tweed and woollens are not being reduced by English manufacturers. Messrs Schniedemann Bros. Ltd., have received the following telegram from Christchurch agents of a Bradford fiftm : —“ManufactluHere advise that your orders of March loth, are subject to approximately 20 per cent advance. ,Do you confirm?”

More than half the shipment of 20,0000 cases of ! oranges , that arrived in'Auckland on Tuesday by . tlie Talune from the Eastern Pacific Islands-was totally unfit for human consumption when it was unloaded. The unusually bad conditions of the cargo, which "will entail heavy loss on consignors and consignees alike, is attributed by merchants to the fact that the Talune was delayed two days in salving a vessel off Tahiti ,before she began to collect the oranges, which were lying ready at var-

ious ports. Owing to the delay, the great bulk of the fruit was subjected,to

several days’ exposure to tropical heat, 1 with the result that much of it was on j the verge of being rotten before it was ■ placed in the ship’s Hold. of ' the island stations,,where therdp|®fe no f facilities 'for storage, the eargolljSls left on the beaches until the steamer*ealled. This happened with 2,500 cases at Mangaia. At Rarotonga the only, wireless operator was ill, and the. traders were . thus unable to ascertain the time of the j Vessel’s arrival, with the result that the fruit was picked and packed too soon. |Of the deteriorated fruit, 100 cases were sold by auction by one auctioneering firm on Wednesday, the price being j from 5s to 7s. As it costs 2s each to, send the empty cases to the Islands and the freight on each full ease was 3s, the various consignors sustain a heavy loss.
