The Kumara Times Published Every Evening. TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1886.

A cablegram this afternoon gives an estimate of the final result of the elections as follows : —Conservatives, 327 ; Unionists, V 7 ; Gladstonites, 137 ; Parnellites, 87. Just as we were going to press, Mr James Costello, who has been working to-day clearing the Borough Reserve, was brought into town, and taken to the Hospital, suffering from a severe cut on the head by the fall of a tree. It is thought the injuries are not of a very serious nature. The Union Company and Black Diamond Line steamer Oraapere left Nelson at five o’clock yesterday, and will reach Greymouth on this evening’s tide. Dr. M‘Brearty and family are passengers by her for Kumara. We have received from the Postmaster the Postal and Telegraph Guide for the current quarter. Since the issue of the April Guide, it is notified that the San Francisco mail now closes at Greymouth at 10 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. ; and a telephone office has been established at Nelson Creek. Last night’s Hokitika Star remarks— Some time ago an evening paper here, with the veracity for which it is noted, stated there is every probability of the Hon. Mr Larnach, Minister of Mines, contesting the Kumara seat with Mr Seddon. We have been authorised to state there is no truth whatever in the rumour. It is, however, on the cards, in the event of Mr J. Devan being called to ' U-.c Legislative Council, that Mr Larnach junior will be a candidate for tiie Hokitika seat. He is a well-grounded scholar, llueut speaker, and has had a large commercial experience. Hokitika once returned “My uncle’s nephew.'’ Why should it not in deference to the “powers that be” and in return for the “favours” received from the present Ministry, return a “Cabinet Minister’s son T Mr Larnaoh, jun., accompanied his father on the late trip through Otago and the southern dis riot oi Westland, and during the visit m.ide himself very agreeable and took well v-dr tue oont.iem residents.

The fictitious “Lord Monteagle,” who was recently sentenced at Melbourne to two years’ imprisonment for obtaining money by false pretences from Mr H. Gntheil, proves to be John Rice, who some years ago was connected with the Customs Department at Hokitika, and who, about fifteen months ago, was in domestic trouble at Wellington. While Inspector Browne was in Melbourne, and happening to visit the House at which Rice was staying, he gave the inmates such information concerning the false lord’s career as led to his' exposure and arrest. The Dillman Town quadrille assembly will meet at the Empire Rooms to-morrow evening, at eight o’clock. A Rattlesnake’s Bite. —The quick venom of the rattlesnake has not killed so many people as the more insidious but deadly poisons found in the air of foul rooms. The aeration of the blood by the lungs becomes impossible sometimes, and the failing health, growing weakness, and loss of appetite are harbingers of approaching death. For such cases Hop Bitters are the potent and all-powerful remedy to drive all fevers out of the system, purifying the blood, and giving a new and happy lease of life. Get genuine.
