Owing to the telegraph office closing at 2 p.m,, we are unable to supply our readers with a report of the Christchurch Eaces,
The trains north and south were able to get along as usual, and no damage was done to the railway line by the floods. All the rain rivers are high, but ,none of them have overflowed or done any damage. The weather shows no signs of clearing up, and as we write (4.30 p.m.) it is raining harder than ever, and it is probable the rivers may yet overflow.
On Mon day last a young woman named Edith Turner, servant at Mr Dudley’s, at Irwell, committed suicide by taking a solution of bluestone, which she had obtained from the stable. Dr Chapman was called in, but his efforts were unavailing, and she died from the effects on Wednesday morning. An inquest was held on Thursday, before Mr R. B. Willis, coroner, the verdict being “ That she committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity.”
