The roadman at Tokaanu says there was a great explosion from Tongaviro just before the first earthquake shock on Saturday. The extraordinary general meeting of the Foxton Racing Club will be held at the Club's offices tomorrow evening. Constable Nestor, of Eketahuna, has been committed for trial by the Wellington magistrate for swearing upon an affidavit that he had personally Berved a summons on Walter Wni. Bodmin, at Tutaekara, in a case brought against him by G. W. Dutton, whereas he had not personally served the summons. The British Government is testing a new plan for signalling at sea. It consists merely of an ordinary gong fastened to the bow of the ship below the water line. This acts as a transmitter and the receivers are gongs of exactly similar tone and rate of vibration, one on each side of the ship below the water line. The receiving gong will take up and reproduce the sound of the sending gong from a long distance. Signals already have been dearly transmitted ten miles. The usual weekly report of the N.Z.L. & M.A.. Co. issued last Saturday states:— H>mp.— There has been no further improvement during the week. As there is evidence of more active demand, however, an enhancement in valaes may be looked for at any time. j .The annual general meeting of the Ma- ' navratu Bowing C ub is advertised to be had, »t Mr gtftitteU'a Hotel en Monday

' The father of the lad Felix O'Sullivan McCarthy -who was killed at Shannon has little spare time on his hands. He arrived on SJaiurday by the morning train and left by the evening train-.

Mi 1 Gascoigne was present) antf. shobketl at; the parent's method, react the Lord's prayer. The whole business shoAved a pitiful want of feeling. A London cablegram dated the 18th instant confirms the rise in the pl'ttio" $f flax we mefltione'd oil Saturday, but to minimise its effect asserts:— "The hemp market is dull. Fair quality, Weliington shipment, brought £14 155." As, however, at the last public sale of N.Z, hemp" in London 105 baleS Were sold out of 740 offered: and good medium well dressed only realised £13, fair m<Hium; a Httlfe sfcfa*^ £12 and £12 ss, ft is evident the rise of £2 a ton haS taken place. The flaxmillers have been labouring under the delusion that the Agent-General would pay some attention to the industry and cable out the state of the market. However, as is usual in those who put their trust in princes, they have been deceived, tt seems a pity that the Government cannot be got to see the importance of the trade. The statement left by Mrs Dean, executed on Monday week denies intention to murder, bat admits the child Carter's death resulted fi'orii an overdose of laudanum given to keep it quiet !

They hold a sale at Colyton on Tuesday. , Messrs Gorton and Son's sale at Mai'ton is fixed for Tnesdayi It is not surprising to learn of the whereabouts of Mr John Murray, lately of the Bank of New Zealand, after learning from our Premier, of his want of knowledge (?) of the state of his bank Inst yenv. He has gone to a warm plneo— South Africa. As he ha* not finished his travels there is no saying but th-it he may not bring up in a still warmer spot.

The choice in each department is almost unlimited, as may be imagined, when it is stated that of flannelette alone, over 50,000 yards have this season been imported at Te Aro House, Wellington. A specially organised department has been established to deal with country orders. Patterns of any materials m stock will be forwarded to any address post fiee.
