The motion

The ordinary meeting of the Borough Council was held last evening. Our report will appear in next issue. The West Coast Times reports that “ Mr Rae received a telegram from Mrs Sedclon late last night to say that Mr Su'ddon was not at all well. Mr Rae had advised Mrs Seddon, if she found that Mr Seddon’s health was so poorly as reported, to induce him to leave the remaining business of the session to shift for itself, and to return home for quiet and rest; but Mrs Seddon says in her telegram that he cannot bring himself to leave the Assembly until he sees the West Coast estimates safely through the House.” The reports of Mr Seddon’s illness have caused general regret in this town, as well as at Hokitika. Miss Norah Sweeney, who has for some weeks past been an inmate of the Hospital, suffering from pulmonary consumption, died between 12 and 1 o’clock this afternoon. The deceased was a bright, intelligent young person, who when she was at the Greenstone school some years ago was regarded as the best all-round scholar and reader in the school. Her amiable and cheerful disposition gained for her many friends and admirers amongst her own sex as well as of the sterner. She was patient in affliction ; and when at four o’clock this morning her sight began to fail and she felt and stated to the attentive Matron that her end was near, she retained the same mild composure until she fell asleep in death, at the early age of 20 years. The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. In the House, early this morning, a motion to reduce the item of £4OOO to defray cost of lectures in Museums and to Schools of Mines to £2OOO was lost by 28 to 25. Mr Peacock then moved to reduce it by £IOOO, which was carried by 28 to 27. After passing the Estimates for the Colonial Secretary’s department, the House adjourned at 3 o’clock this morning. In the Resident Magistrate’s Court this morning, before J. Giles, Esq., R.M., a judgment summons, F. A. Olden v, G. A. Bell was heard, the plaintiff, claiming £l. After hearing evidence, which did not prove that the defendant had means to pay, the summons was dismissed without order. Commander Edwin wired to-day at 3.56 p.m.—“Bad weather may be expected between north and east and southeast; glass further fall and heavy rain within 12 hours.” Tenders are required by Mr Robert Millsou, for building. Plans and specifications can be seen at his shop in Dillman’s Town. Tenders will close at Bp. ra, on Monday, 9th inst. The Wellington correspondent of the Nelson Evening Mail telegraphed on the 21st ult.—“ A local paper says that Sir G. Grey is taking legal advice as to the possibility of taking legal proceedings during the recess against Mr W. J. Steward for a breach of the Disqualification Act in connection with the District Railway debentures case, and against Mr R. J. Seddon in connection with the Kumara sludge-channel matter, which was ventilated last session.” Special cable news states that the parents of the girl Eliza Armstrong, who was abducted by Mr Stead, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, has entered an action against the proprietors of that journal. It is rumoured in London that Sir Charles Dilke and Captain Forster are to fight a duel in France. The quarrel arose 1 out of the Orawford-Dilke affair. In compliance with a very widely expressed desire, the proprietors of the Nelson Evening Mail have decided to publish a weekly issue, to be ' called the Nelson Weekly News. The first issue will appear on Saturday, the 14th August. Messrs H. Goulston and Co. beg to draw the attention of the public to° the sales by Dutch auction of the balance of their stock of drapery and clothing, on Friday and Saturday nights, commeiicim'’ at 7 o’clock sharp. This being a positive unreserved sale, customers will be able to get goods regardless of cost.—[Advt.
