Te Aroha S. and G.M. Co. : The Bess pans were charged and started agairi this morning, , . , Accident at the Furnace : On T t uesday night' last, an accident happened at the roaster in the tailing plant, happily unattended wifch any very serious cousequences, It is the duty of each person in charge of a shift to clean the fire- ' before being relieved^ This- was being done at about 10.30 on the night in question. The embers were pulled oat on the floor, and as is usual were about to be cooled before being wheeled «way» One of the young men employees picßed up a bucket and threw on the fire what he supposed to be water, bat immediately a great blaze flew op and illuminated the whole place, and he narrowly escaped being very severely burnt, as it was his arm w**s only scorched. The liquid in ihe bu<ket was kerosene, and contained about two pints. Subscription in aid of Mrs Andrews t Subscription lists in connection with the above are being rapidly filled up, the residents.ref.poiuiing most liberally, . Onegentleman has, I understand, about £20, another £12 ; this is altogether outside of those engage/! about the Company* works. Mr Jennings has this portion of the district, aad by the end of the week no doubt a very handsome sum will have been raised. Waioron^omai Rink Club : On Wednesday evening last a very large »tten~ dance of members of the club and onlookers were present at the Waiorongomai Public Hall, and had a thorough '' evening's enjoyment ; many, of the-, gentlemen showing great proficiency in the ait. The graceful skating of many-, of the ladies was also much admired by fiose present ; one especially whose naineneed not be mentioned, but whpl is ,-a, „ recent arrival here, was particularly- • pleasing in her sylph-like 1 movements:' = along the floor. \,,.v - ,- „, Accident Fund : A committee meeting of the above was held' a few' eveningsago; to take into consideration a demand made upon, the Association -by one of its. merpbers, who had been injured whilst playing football, The r Committee very * wisely not liking to take the- onus oh ' itself for paying the. demand, decided , that the matter should first be- discussed ' at a full meeting ot members, which wilt take place shortly, and the question willthen be well threshed cut whether or not the Association is compelled to, p*ylelief to. persons who- may have- been; injured whilst playing football.
