Up io the present nothing has been heard from the health authorities in Wellington with regard to the analysis of the water procured from the drain excavations in Lombard-street which it has been suggested, was the cause of the outbreak of diphtheria in town. The neglect of the authorities considering the issue at stake is most reprehensible, aad representations should certainly be made by the local authorities us to the importance of at once knowing if the water is infected with diphtheria microbes. In the meantime no further cases have been reported.

In writing to the Borough Council in reference to a request for some provision for lighting at the Terrace End Station, the Department of llailways rather cast a slur on the arrangements at present trade by the Council for the illumination of Alainstreet East. Jt was implied in the letter that if the Council had provided sutlicient light for the street in that vicinity there would be no necessity for a "lamp at the .station buildings This was characterised by the Mayor rather an absurd suggestion. The mutter was finally left. in. Mr Cohen s hands to frame a suitable reply to the letter. There was a good attendance of members at the fortnightly meeting of the Oroua Lodge of iiruids last night.

It estimated that before the year closes £350 motor buses will be running in London, and an enterprising American proposes to fit up motor vehicles with megaphone lecturers. Thus the bus horse and Cook's guide will be swept away at one fell swoop, for the " personally conducted" who venture to see the sishts of London from a motor vehicle are, while being conveyed on the grand tour of London's places of interest, to have learned discourses blared into their ears by a megaphone.

Several requests were before the Borough Council last evening for the refund of money paid for the use of Borough property, in one instance the Opera Mouse and in another the Sports' ground. Several Councillors felt some ditlidence in granting the requests, as though the objects were very worthy and deserving ones the contributions realh- belonged of right to the residents, and as a matter of principle liiu money should not be refunded. The requests were referred to committees to report upon.

A pigeon bred by Mr H. Edwards has just accomplished a remarkable homing feat. Last June Mr Edwards presented Mr David Harvey, the lion, secretary of the Auckland Flying Club, with a homing pigeon of a very choice strain. Yesterday Mr Edwards found the bird back m his loft in Dukestreet and wired Mr Harvey to that effect. The bird had never been trained, but it is singular that his sire homed from ISTew Plymouth to Christchurch without training. The latter, however, was liberated two or three days after leaving Christchurch.

A rumour was current in town this morning that a serious accident had happened at Paekakariki, a train having been derailed near that station. Inquiry has shown, however, that nothso startling occurred. It appears that early this morning, while running out of the shed to take in coal, the tender of one of the Manawatu Company's engines became derailed by some means, and was thrown off the line. A gang of men was at once got to work, and succeeded in replacing the tender on the rails in time to prevent any interference with the traffic. As far as could be learned, no damage of any importance was done, either to the track or rolling stock.

Messrs C. E. Waldegrave and L. Simmons, J's.P., presided at tiie lolice Court this morning. Henry Marns and Joseph Dowdell were charged that yesterday they stole two portmanteaux and contents valued at £3, the property of A. Kennedy and Henry Berry. Mr Moore appeared for accused, who pleaded not guilty. On the application of the police accused were remanded until Monday morning next, bail being allowed. Emil C. I age was charged that yesterday, at I almcrston, he stole an umbrella valued at /s6d, the pronerty of Antony Geor. lie pleaded'not guilty. The facts of the case, as alleged by the police were that yesterday accused went into Mr Geor's shop while the latter was having breakfast and helped himself to an umbrella. When caught he said had only taken it* for a article offered to pay for tiie article. Aee used said be lid been led mto a trap by someone else nlio was m l i shoo at the time, and who he took to be the proprietor. He was fined ou y 1> in consideration of having paid lo Jo umbrella he had taken. Some 20 parents were charged by Hi.

Commissioner Dinnie and Inspector luely paid an official visit to Palmerston yesterday.

Captain Edwin telegraphed to-day:— otrong. winds to gale from between northwest and west and southwest. Glass rise, but tall after 16 hours from now. Rain, probably heavy. Owing to the company having decided to make certain alterations to the plans, the acceptance of tenders fcr the erection of the abattoirs has been delayed for a few days. Mr Rogers, architect, received eight tenders for the construction of shop fivtures lor Messrs J. Nash and Co. Mr Blackburn received the contract, the price being £200. The work lias to he completed within two weeks. The fixtures are for the new shop now being erected for the firm in Coleman Place. The details of the Premier's scheme for national peusions are now being worked out by Mr Morris Fox, Actuary of the Government Insurance Department, and Mr F. W. Frankland, who formerly held the oilice of Actuary, but is now residing at Foxton. - .• The Rev. 11. J. Allsworth died at Wanganui cn Monday. Many years ago the deceased haa charge of the Turakma and Waverley churches, and he also laboured in Australia. Iu 1593 he took charge of the Picton Church, and he continued iu the pastorate till 1903, when he retired from active work. In 1904 i Mr Allsworth was made an elder of St. Paul's Church, Wanganui, a position which he held with honour till the time of his death. According to Cr Holben at the Borough Council meeting last evening, the Campbell-street School Committee proposes to sink an artesian well to to supply water for the proposed baths at the school. It is estimated that the cost of the baths will run into something like £500. Plans are now being prepared for the work. It is proposed to pay for the construction of the baths out of the concert surplus in hand, by raising of debentures re-payable by capitation grants, and by the proceeds of concerts in the future. The committee intend to put the work of excavation in hand as soon as possible, so as to have the baths ready for use next summer. At a meeting of the Wanganui school committee on Monday evening the the following resolu-. tion whicn was carried unanimously :— V That in the opinion of this committee some permanent and appropriate recognition should be provided to commemorate the long and valuable services so cheerfully and gratuitously rendered to the cause of education by the late Mr George S. Bridge, as chairman of the Wanganui Education Board and the following committee —the chairman and Messrs Dewdney and Thompson— were appointed a committee to confer with the local Teachers' Institute, the Technical School committee, and the executive of the Education Board, with a view of communicating with committees and teachers throughout the district asking for their co-operation in raising sufficient funds to provide a suitable memorial.
