The driver and conductor of the Ocean Beach train at Dunedin, yesterday morning allege that they were fired at. A window in the car was broken, and the conductor, who is a Romeo in his way, believes tlie shot came from a jealous rival. Monday is the last day for sending in property returns, under the Property Assessment Act. Pour of the Inspectors and Sub-inspec-tors of Police who received notice of dismissal have resolved to accept a reduction of rank. They will be created SergeantMajors and four of the latter will be reduced to first-class sergeants and so on down to the bottom of the ladder. We understand that Mr William E. Whitcombe has been offered and has accepted the appointment of secretary to the Timaru Caledonian Society. Besides numerous local donations, a large variety of useful articles from England have been received for the Bazaar in aid of St. Mary’s Church Building Fund, which opens on Tuesday. Luncheon and refreshments will be provided for visitors and no doubt there will be a large attendance. The Primitive Methodist Church Bazaar will doubtless be one of the centres of attraction on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wc learn that the gifts will on this occasion be unusually numerous and attractive, some of them being the result of several months unwearying application on the part of the ladies of the congregation. An excellent luncheon will be provided and visitors will have an abundance of tea and coffee at their disposal. The Artillery band will be hr an attendance, and what between music, refreshments, beautiful stalls, and charming stall-keepers, the combination of attractions threaten to be quite overpowering.
