It appears that as Mr Francis Queenon was walking up the Queen’s Wharf about a quarter past nine o’clock bis attention was attracted by a loud Splash in the water, and on rushing to the aide of the pier he saw a man struggling lor his life. Mr Queenon at once went to Where thesteamer.HuUjWas lying, for the purpose of procuring rescuing the man, but finding vessel, he the, wharf, antf'foutm'What «Whe interval the cjrowning ppnson had disappeared fc.oqk. eight. WhilslnSSTWraa •’the *Huia, d young man, who was escorting a lady ■■ friend up the pier, also saw someone struggling in the water, and running oyer to the waterman’s stops procured a life buoy, ;whi?h he threw (to th,? deceased, who, however, failed to catch hold of it, aind immediately afterwards the man sank. Sir Sergeant, chief officer of the ship Halcione, and two of the seamen belong ing to that vessel commenced dragging foy the body, and succeeded in iV about 11 o’cloo c. The corpse Was taken §sses»ion of by Sergeant Ready and two nstables, and by them conveyed to the orgue. The deceased, who was about iqrty-five years of age, was dressed in a] tweed suit,:: and li&£n ti fied'. this morning by a bian named Michael Cos g|ave, as Thomas O’Keefe, who has for some time past resided in the Wairarapa, \xKeefe came down from Masterton three or four days ago. and since his arrival, it is said, he drank very heavily. »There is no evidence at present to show how the accident occurred, but it is sup pbaed that in walking along the edge of tl|e wharf when intoxicated deceased stkmbled against some obstruction and was precipitated into the water, probably sthnning himself in the fall. It is under stood that he has no relations in the cdlony.

The time has come when iomething' must* be done either by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an fend to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to pur boasted civilisation. We (the under sighed) have been* doing business in Ashbur ton about 3 % years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a £reat deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro ject us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish tjhe credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we ’ have resolved to sell for dash only in future. The honest man \feho is willing to pay , his 20s in the £, and pay ai he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he Would under the old system. We, shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers full satisfaction, and every order will l|e executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no,longer run any unnecessary risk.
