GENERAL TELEGRAMS.

NAPIER HARBOR BOARD. Per Press Association. Napier, Monday. The Magistrate delivered judgment on the re-count, of the Harbor Board poll. As the result of certain cases of dual voting the final figures place F. W. Williams and W. J. McGratli a dead heat for the third seat. As the law makes no provision for a casting vote, the Magistrate ruled that a new election was required for this seat. He will hear legal argument as to whether the whole election should be voided. Petitioner's deposit was returned. A GRUESOME DISCOVERY. Ashburton, Monday.
