LOCAL & GENERAL.

Timaru Gas Company.—At the annual meeting of the Timaru Gas Company on Monday evening the report, recommending a dividend of 8 per cent for the year, was agreed to, and a balance of £10517s carried forward. Alleged Arson at Ashburton.—On Tuesday Andrew Black, in whose watchmaker's shop a fire occurred on Friday morning, was remanded on a charge of arson till Friday. Bail was allowed, himself in £SOO. and two sureties to the same amount. The sureties were obtained. Sudden Deaths. —An old Timaru settler named John Higgs, aged seventy, dropped dead in his paddock on Monday night while engaged in driving the cows home. He had been suffering for some time from heart disease. —Mr W. L. Lucina, aged (i2, a well-known Wairarapa settler, died suddenly on Mondav night from congestion of the brain. —J. W.

Cricket.—A scratch match comes off at Geraldine this afternoon, when there wilt, it is hoped, be a spirited game.—At Temuka wickets will be pitched at 3.30 this afternoon for practice, when a good muster of players is hoped for. The Sealskin Cases. —At last a conviction has been recorded in one of the sealskin larceny cases, Mellish and Thompson having been found guilty on their second trial) at Invercargill. The jury recommended Thompson to mercy, because of his youth and inexperience in sealing, he being only cook to the party. Mr Justice Williams said he would not pass sentence pending the decision of the Appeal Court, in April, on two points of law—namely, had the property passed to Hatch, and had he possession when the skins were put on board his vessel ?

Alleged Libel.—The Premier has filed a defence to the libel action instituted by Mr Hutchison, in which he says the plaintiff was canvassed last session in the lobby by another member of the House for the purpose of ascertaining how he intended to vote upon the Payment of Members Bill, and authorised that member to place his name upon the card as a supporter of the Bill. That notwithstanding this Mr Hutchison spoke and voted against the second reading, and after the session, in an address to his constituents, denounced it as a dishonest measure ; that the defendant, in addressing a meeting at Patea, spoke to the above effect, and also said ttiat Mr E. M. Smith, M.H.E., was his authority for the statement, and he had no doubt of Mr Smith's truthfulness. It is also pleaded that the publication of the words was lawful, because they formed part of a true and accurate report. Unless a change of venue is applied for the trial will take place at Wanganui on April sth. Accident.—On Thursday morning, about 3 o'clock, while Dr Tweed andhis driver, Mr John Totty, were returning to Ashburton from a patient at Eangitata bridge they met witn an accident. Coming down the stcepcutting.it the Eangitata bridge the horses became restive, and kicked over the traces. In a moment they had detached themselves from the pole, and the pole's point catching in the ground the buggy was overturned and the doctor and Mr Totty were thrown out. Both were considerably bruised and much shaken, the doctor having a rib broken from impact with a large stone, but otherwise sustaining no serious damage. The buggy was ruined. The horses got away, of course, but ntill coupled with their harness, and the faster horse out-running his yoke-mate the latter came down, and the former fell above him. This kept them anchored until the doctor and Totty came up to them, when it was found that both animals had suffered pretty severely. Horses and a vehicle were obtained at Wheelband's hotel, and tne two victims came on to Ashburton.—• Ashburton Guardian.

Salvation Army, Geraldine— Ensign and Mrs Hoare were present on Monday evening at the junior tea in connection with the Salvation Army, Geraldine. There was a large attendance, both of children and adults, and the tables, three in number, were presided over by Mesdames Stringer, Major, and Herdman, Miss Webb, and Lieutenants McDonald and Hamilton. After the tea a meeting was held in the Oddfellows' Hall, where Mrs Hoare gave an amusing and interesting description of her experiences in Salvation Army work among the Welshmen in Wales, and the trouble she had in learning the Welsh dialect. Snsign Hoare went over a few reminiscences of his work in England, and touched upon his life in the Salvation Army training institution m London, and on his being imprisoned for preaching in the streets. On Sunday afternoon last a number of children were put under the flag and dedicated to the Army by Ensign Hoare.

Serious Accident.—Mr W. Patrick, sen., \ of Gapes's Valley, met with a very serious accident on Tuesday last while harvesting on Mr Orbell's farm, Gapes's Valley. Mr Patrick was working on a stack, and having reason to get down, did so by sliding off—a dangerous practice which some harvesters 1 have, but which Mr Patrick was always very careful about. On this occasion, however, he was hurried, and forgot that the broken handle of a fork, with a sharp, hard, splintering point was sticking out of the stack. As he slid down the handle entered the lower part of his body close to the scrotum,' with very paiuful results. The blood mark on the handle was afterwards found to be something like six inches in length, but whether it ran into the body so deeply as that it is hard to say. Dr Fish was immediately sent for, and on arrival fouud that the stick had not entered the bladder, and, from all appearance then, no severe internal injury had been received, i Mr Patrick was in great pain, but Dr Fish " has hopes of his recovery, providing that nothing serious, such as inflammation, sets in. R.M. Court, Temuka.—At the above court last Tuesday the case of Morris v. Sweet was aJjourned. George Hornsey sued John Mclnness for £1 Us (id, balance of account. This was a claim for work and labor don e. The defendant was contractor : -for building a house for Mr P. McShane, Geraldine Flat, and let to the plaintiff a subcontract for building three chimneys : The defendant held that the contract 1 included the building of the hearths, as they ■ I were a part and parcel of the chimneys, which were not otherwise completed, and ■ consequently deducted the above amount when paying the plaintiff. On the other : hand the plaintiff held that the building of ' the hearths y/as not part of the chimneys. Mr Rutland was called m and asked by the court whether the building of the hearth was included in the contract for the build- , in* of a chimney when there was no specific ' agreement as regards the matter. Mr Rutland jsafd jf Jibe-hearths were to be built Of brjck, it wp#hepa4 of the work, even '■'in*© mention wgts made ofii,, hut if it wn.. < buife Of concrete it would have were to u „ •« On #fe the court gave to be paid extra «».. **€ &F £1 IQs M, judgment for the plains -««U=Jiia&* deducting Is Id for food supp*. • r a , ment by default was given m the case which Michael Dunbar sued J. Breakwell for £3 cash lent. The court then rose: Fatal Lift Accidents.— A very painful coincidence has occurred in two awful deaths by accidents in a hit, in a Melbourne Hotel. Stallbridge Chambers Hotel of eight storeys, has a lift communicating with the various floors. On Thursday night, the 4th February, the licensee, Mr William Ware, left his bedroom to go downstairs. The lift had gone to the top of the building, and he must have forgotten this fact, for in the darkness he stepped into the lift shaft and fell to the bottom, receiving terrible injuries from which he died. In consequence of the first death it was decided to close the hotel temporarily, 1 and the lodgers were notified to that effect. Among them was George Francis, a mining ' surveyor, aged sixty years. At about midnight he descended in the lift with some luggage from the top storey, presumably to go to another lodging. Some time after it was found that the lilt would not work, and on examination it was liscovered that Francis, by some unexplained means, had got his head crusaeJ between the floor of the lift and the top of the doorway on the first landing. On being taken to the hospital he was found to be dead.

Local Veto Bill.—At a temperance meeting in Wellington a series of resolutions were carried asking the New Zealand Alliance to bring in a Local Veto Bill in the next session of Parliament, and appealing to the country to support it. Gold. The gold exported from the colony for the year ending 31st December last was worth £221,000 more than the previous year. All the fields showed improvements, but the principal increase was in Otago and the West Coast. When Mr Seddon took office he gave out that any leases in which covenants as to working were not complied with would be cancelled, and has noi; yet had oceasion to carry this into effect. German Ckuisek. —The German cruiser Buzzard, 1468 tons, eight guns, Captain Gertz, arrived at Auckland yesterday morning from Samoa, twelve days out, in order to spend the remainder of the hurricane season till the end of March in Auckland. The Buzzard is a new steel vessel launched in 1890, and she arrived in the Pacific at the end of last year. She returns to Apia in April. Our Volunteers. —Owing to the delay in the arrival of Captain Fox, the new commandant of the New Zealand forces, the arranSements for the year have to a great extent been upset, and consequently the Government have decided not to formulate any scheme for Easter encampments, but any arrangements which may have been made in the various localities for holding encampments will not be interfered with.

Destitute Old Age.—The Wellington Benevolent Trustees threaten to appeal to the public if the Government will not help them to provide shelter for destitute old persons. As a last effort the whole of the members will deputations the Premier again. In consequence of the hospital authorities refusing to keep destitute persons who are cured, numbers of such cases have been thrown on the hands of the trustees lately, and the trustees have no adequate means to provide for them. The Harvest. Farmers are making the best of the present favorable weather, and great advancement during the past week has been made in stacking. As far as can be judged at present the mills should turn out some decent samples this year, notwithstanding the injurious weather the crops were recently exposed to. Work appears to be very plentiful; men cannot be obtained at Is 3d an hour and found. Farmers are employing all the handi they can get hold of, so as to m*ke sure of their crops before the weather breaks. At Dunedin on Tuesday heavy rain,fell during the afternoon. A telegram from Nelson states that the heavy rain and wind experienced during the last few days has done a large amount of injury to hops and other crops. Beatii ul weather now prevails.

The Coming} Papal Jubilee.—The Rome correspondent of the " Western Morning News" telegraphs that the Vatican Commission charged with organising the arrangements for celebrating the papal jubilee has drawn up its programme and that this has received the approval of His Holiness Pope Leo. The following are the salient features: Pilgrimages to Rome

from all parts wiE take place between December, 1892. and December, 189;$; a great exhibition, illustrative of the papacy from the earliest times, will be heli in honour of the pilgrims; and an address from the whole Catholic world will be presented to the Pope, this taking the form of a plebiscite in favour of the restoration of the temporal power. In view of the extensive character of the jubilee celebrations, all prilgrimages to Rome between now and December of next year will be cancelled. In connection with the jubilee the Pope will grant a general indulgence.

Temuka. School Committee. The usual monthly meeting was held last Tuesday evening. Present —Messrs W. G. Aspinall (chairman), Storey, McCaskill: Brown, Cooper, and Russell. The head master's report was to the effect that the attendance fluctuated between 158 and 317 since the school opened. Six new desks were required for the infant school. On the motion of Mr Russell, seconded by Mi McCaskill, it was resolved to request the Boarn of Education to supply the desks, also a graded floor for the infants' room. A letter was read from the Board of Education intimating that Mr Bryars had been granted eight months leave of absence, and that Mr Farnie had been appointed in his stead: also intimating that Miss Jessie McLeod had been appointed in place of Miss Sweet, and that £ll 7s 6d had been placed to the credit of the committee for incidental expenses. The names of Messrs S. "W. Goldsmith, J. Jackson, G-. H. Rhodes, W. Balfour, and D. M, Ross were submitted to the committee for the purpose of selecting three members for the Board of Education therefrom. On the motion of Mr Storey, seconded by Mr McCaskill, Messrs Goldsmith, Jackson, and Rhodes were selected. Messrs Cooper and McCaskill reported they had visited the school and found everything working harmoniously. The building was in good repair, with the exception of the ventilation, and it was resolved to call attention to this matter. Messrs ABpinall and Storey were appointed visitors, and the meeting adjourned. The New Lordship is a Scottish Peer, who succeeded to tha Earldom in 1890, and who until now has occupied no conspicuous place in the public eye. The immediately preceding holders of the title were, however, very well-known, particularly in the west of Scotland, where the family estates lie, and where the last two Earls were for long familiar figures. The former of these, known in fyis younger days as Lord Melburne, was a great racing man, and celebrated for the exja?eme roughness of j his manners and' language. He was j succeeded by his half brother, the Hon. ]Vjr Boyle, wh.o was of precisely an opposite typoj'heing' ai> exceedingly high Anglican Churchman} and devoted to observances, the meang fqr °- ' provided a * h* s own cost in t!ie which he * Otua&rae, on the Clyde, Island of Greater ,* A m, • p a portion of which he owneu. A « w * having no male issue, the title passed u. his death to the BoyM of Shewalton m Ayrshire, a family of V» member tin intimate friend of Sir Wajfcr Mft for many years occupied successively the two highest places in the Court of Session, having" been, first, Lord Jurtwe Clerk, and afterwards, Lord President of that court The present Earl of Glasgow is the grandson of Lord President Boyle and son of that Mr Boyle who represented the county of Bute IB l®f, and who afterwards became Lord Clerk of Scotland, succeeding in that office W James Gibson-Craig. The Earl is a cousin of Sir James Ferguason—once Governor of this colony and now Postmaster General in Lord Salisbury's Ministry—Sir James' mother having been a Miss Boyle, of Shewalton. Not being a descendant of a holder of the British Peerage which latterly was in the family, t'io present Earl is simply a Scottish Peer, and without a seat in the House of Lords. —Southland Times.

Temuka Road Board. The adjourned meeting of the above board which was to have been held last Tuesday lapsed for the want of a quorum. The clerk adjourued the meeting to uext Tuesday.

Native Ttoubleb.—A native named Kaima Ohina Muri was committed for trial at Auckland on Tuesday, for removing a trig flag at Tekuku near Waikaku. He pleaded that he acted under the instructions of his surperior officer, Kere Kaihau, who acted for Tawhiao. Keri Kaihua gave eviJcnce and endorsed Kaima's statement. Even if Kaima were put in prison the flags would be disturbed by Tawhiao and by himself as Tawhiao's representative. As Keri Kaihau was leaving the court he was arrested as an accessory by his own admission to unlawful removal of the trig flag. District Court.—At the District Court, Timaru, on Tuesday, before His Honor Mr Justice Ward, on the application of Messrs Perry, Perry.and Kinnerney, probate of the will of the late H. G. Bristol was granted on affidavit being filed that there are no creditors of the deceased beyond those mentioned in mortgage, secureties to be dispensed with; also probate of the will of Sarah Bradford; and on the application of the same solicitors His Honor made an order for costs re Tomlinson and Bracefield's bankrupt estate, £7 7s and disbursements. Messrs Hay and Postlethwaite applied for and were granted probate of the will of Friedrich Heinrich Burmeister. The court then rose. i National Mortgage and Agency Company.—Mr J. M. Ritchie, the general manager of the National Mortgage Company of New Zealand at Dunedin, has received cable advice from London that at the annual general meeting last week one small shareholder proposed liquidation or incorporation with a larger company, to which the chairman replied that neither the board nor the large shareholders had any thought of liquidation, but, on the contrary, they were in a position and prepared to take over small concerns if the opportunity arose. This explains a press cablegram which appeared recently, and conveyed an erroneous impression about the company.

Victoria's New Agent-General.— Cablegrams from Melbourne state that great dissatisfaction is felt there at the appointment of Mr Munro as AgentGeneral. The reason appears to be that he is the chairman of the Real Estates Company, which has recently gone into liquidation. He holds, or held. 16,000 shares in the concern. They were at one time at £8 in the market, and it is said the Premier bought a few at that figure. Latterly they have sold at any rate, as low as 3d. The Melbourne Argus demands the revocation of MrMunro's appointment. It declares that while it is Mr Munro'b misfortune and not hiß fault that he is so prominently connected with the institution, yet the question is forced upon the public whether the controller of an insolvent institution is the right and proper person to be sent to Great Britain to manage the colonial finances at a critical period in our history. It thinks Parliament should be called together to consider the question, or the appointment deferred until the new Parliament assembles, and concludes: "Mr Munro has publicly urged shareholders and others to stick to the Real Estate Bank. No man has a greater responsibilty for an institution than he has for this one. He is holder and captain of the ship, and now that it is stranded he is sailing from it. If he remained to help to wind up the Real Estate Bank Mr Munro would be in his proper place, as Agent-General, to answer to London for Victoria's solvency, he emphatically puts himself and the colony in a false position."

A Good Story.—An amusing story ti which interest has been added by the fac that a distinguished politician figured h it, has just come to us. One of ou settlers, who is an ardent supporter of th present Government, was driving alonj the road near Orari in a dray on the after the result of the Wellington electioi was made, when he overtook a rather un imposing sort of an individual, who askei him for a lift. Our Liberal friend o course willingly conceded the requesl and a conversation was immediatel; opened between the two, and sooi it turned to politics. Our Libera friend gave vent to his feelings over th election of Mr McLean for Wellington but the person he had taken into his dra; disagreed with him, and expressed regre that Mr Bell had not been elected. Fron this they went on to discuss the relative merits of the late and present Govern ment, but the land administration becann the chief topic ©f the debate. The drive of the dray extolled Mr McKenzie up t< the skies, and ran down Mr Bichardsoi to the lowest level. He accused Mi Richardson of dummyism, favoritism nepotism, and all the other isms, ant threw out a vague hint that the country would not suffer anything if Mr Richard son had been shot, as he had nearly ruinec the colony. The other gentleman triec to defend the actions of the late Ministe] of Lands, but his feeble efforts in thai direction only intensified the dis approbation of his opponent, and so the wordy warfare went on until at last thej came to a turn in the road, where thej were to part. The defender of the late Government here alighted, and aftei thanking the settler for having given him a lift, the following conversation took place between them. " And now," said the passenger, "do you know to whom you have been talking all along." The driver of the vehicle replied "No." "Well," said the passenger " I am that scoundrel Richardson, late Minister of Lands ? whom you have so abused/' The position became slightly embarrassing, but the supporter of the present Government readily recovered his equanimity and said " Well, I am very sorry I said anything to Irurt; your feelings, but now that it has been said I am not going to withdraw a word of it, and jt may possibly do you gaqd tq know what people think of you throughout the country " Mr Richardson thanked him for his candour, it was by such candid speaking public men could understand the feelings of the country, and both parted with mutual good wishes. Mr Richardson has been for the past few weeba. *>uga£§d i n surveying the Riverslea Estate, belpngina tq tjje Bank 0 f Nqw Zealand Estates "Company, whose lands are about to be offered for sale. Mr Richardson is a surveyor" by profession, and when he lost the position of Minister of Lands, fte had to go back to work again. This is to his credit, and it is a matter upon which New Zealand can pride herself at any rate. No matter which party one turns to none of the leaders appear to have made muph out of politics, In other countries appear to grow rich, but iu New Zealand they grow poorer the longer they remain in office. On tho whole, there pan be no doubt but our politicans have been honest so far as they have been personally concerned, and though we may differ from them in many respects, wo have every reason to be proud of thorn in that respect.

Legislative Council. Cabinet meetings were held on Saturday and Monday discussing the appointments of the new Legislative Councillors. There was some consultation betweea the Governor and the Premier, bnt they could not agree as to the number of new members to be appointed, and Lord Onslow has now decided to leave the matter for his successor, Lord Glasgow, to deal with.

Lady VoGEL.—Anglo-Austr.iluu in the European Mail writes : —" Lady Vojjel is entitled to the deepest sympathy at the present moment Her motiier Mrs \ Clayton—died on New Year's Day. and days later her sinter—Miss Kate Clayton—passed away. Mrs Clayton was the widow of the late Mr W. H. Clayton, who held the position of colonial architect in New Zealand, and she was 83 years of age at the time of her death."

Gas Explosion.—When Mr J. O'Neill, the licensee of the Royal George Hotel, Christchurch, was about to light the gas in one of the rooms last Tuesday evening an explosion took place, and doors and windows were blown out. Mr O'Neill, who was standing in the middle of the room, escaped without the slighest injury. The panel door was broken into chips, and the glass in the windows was blown out nearly 20 yards. The curtains were set alight but th« fire was quickly extinguiiihed. The cause is uupposed > to be a leak in the gasalier. Apology Wanted. —On Monday the Hon. J. Bry<-e inserted a letter in the Marton Mercury, requesting the editor to apologise for what had appeared in the paper a day or two ago. On Wednesday the Hon. J. Bryce bought the goodwill of a perpetual lease section, and the Mercury two days after had a subleader, in was implied that the purchase was made for Mr Bryce himself, and certain editorial strictures were passed on the action. In reply to Mr Bryce the editor says he implied no crime nor offence, and refuses to make further amends. The Governor.—The Earl and Countess of Onslow took their final departure from Wellington, by special train at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The volunteers formed a guard of honor, and the D Battery fired a salute of 17 guns. Owing to the arrangements being altered at the last moment there was not a large attendance of the public, many having gone to the Manawatu station, whereas he left from the Government station. There were no speeches, but a number of personal friends bid Lord and Lady Onslow good-bye. Messrs Buckley and G. S. Cooper accompany the Governor to Auckland. The party call at Pailmerston, Wanganui, and New Plymouth.

The Presbyterian Assembly. The Presbyterian Assembly on Monday resolved that the Rev. W, Gillies, of Timam, be the next Moderator, and appointed Dr Elmslie, deputy to the Synod of Otago and Southland. A resolution was passed approving of the present system of state education "so far as concerns diffusion of knowledge, but expressing regret that religious instruction is not given in public schools. A committee, consisting of the Auckland Presbytery, was appointed to consider and ■> report on the desirability of adopting a scheme for periodical changes of ministers. The assembly adjourned to meet at St, John's Church, Wellington, on the second Tuesday in February next., Cruelty to Animals. The cases brought by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals against Chas. Harley and John Kennedy for cruelty in overdriving in a match from Waihi to Tauranga, a distance of fifty-six miles, when Harley's •£ horse died fifteen miles from were heard on Monday. The police asked for a heavy penalty. Harley was convicted and fined 50s and costs £lO 19s. The case against Kennedy was dismissed, the constable's evidence showing that the animaL was not even hot passing Katikati.— Auckland police have Laid an information against Cross, in charge of the telegraphline workß, stationed at Hamilton, for cruelty to his horse. The case is said to be an extraordinary one.

A Protest Against the ShingleShifting Proposals.

Morris, members of Timaru Harbor Board.
