Invercakgii.l, Friday. The whaling barque Sapphire has arrived from Stewart's Island. When off the Solanders one of the Crew lost his hold while aloft and fell into the sea, striking his bend on the rail in tbe descent. He rose once, but sank before assistance could be afforded. Christchurch. Friday. A woman named Linklater at Kaiapoi cut her throat in seven places yesterday. She had been in a desponding condition for some time owing to the loss of two children by diphtheria. It is doubtful whether she will get over the loss of blood. Donedin, Friday. The Star states that fifteen officers of the Public Works Department in the Middle Islnnd are now being dispensed with. This makes between seventy and eighty who will have left since tbe end of the last financial year. The reduction in the North Island is on the same scale.
