ACCIDENTS & FATALITIES.

AGED MAN DROWNED. (Per Press Association,! Napier, Last. Night. The body of a man, apparently 7% years of ago, was found floating in the harbour near the Glasgow wharf at 3 o’clock this afternoon. The body has not yet been identified. KILLED BY A COW. Christchurch, Last Night. Edward Savill. 61 years of ago, who was butted by a cow at Styx on Friday evening and knocked over, died yesterday morning. The medical evidence at the inquest' to-day showed that Savill’s spine was dislocated. LITTLE GIRL’S DEATH. Gisborne, Last Night. An inquest was held on Saturday on the body of the little girl, Norma Ellen Phillips, who fell off a train at To Karaka on Friday night and was almost decapitated. In finding that the deceased child met her death by the wheels of the train passing over her head, the jury added a rider that the jerking motion in starting the train was contributory to the fatality, and they strongly suggested that some means should bo taken to minimise this danger.
