GENERAL TELEGRAMS.

THE PAPAROA MINE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. When a meeting of the Paparoa Coal Mining Company was resumed this evening it was announced that the £35,000 had been slightly over-subscribed. The meeting accordingly decided not to so into liquidation, and to proceed at once with the engagement of a staff and the development of the mine. The directors will call another meeting of shareholders shortly, to give an opportunity of electing fresh men to the directorate if so desired. AN OLD MAN SENTENCED. Palmerston N., Wednesday. For an indecent act, Andrew Wissehnewsky, an elderly man, was sentenced to six months' hard labor, by Mr. A. D. Thompson, S.M. THE NAPIER CARNIVAL. Napier, Wednesday. The drawing room entertainment competition was won by Luk's Company, with 140 points, Cecil Haines' Company (Wellington), with 130 points, being second. Regarding the performance of the Feilding Wesley Choir, the judge, Mr. Baeyertz, declared that he had heard nothing like it in the Dominion, outside the Sheffield Choir, and Feilding would easily beat anything in New Zealand at present.
