THE JUBILEE MEMORIAL.

A CLOCK DECIDED ON. ▲ meeting of subscribers to the Jubilee Memorial Fund was held at the County Council Chambers, yesterday afternoon. The meeting was held m order to decide upon what form the memoml should take. There were about a dozen gentle men present. Mr W. O. Walker, M.H.R , was voted to the chair.. Tbe Chairman said that the amount of money to the credit of the fund at the B»nk was £121 Is sd. He believed that •everal gentlemen hid been considering what use oould be made of the money, and he would ask Mr Scaly, who wsa one of those who had been taking some trouble In the matter, to lay his views before the meeting. Mr T. Scaly said that he had received some letters which perhaps the Chairman would read for the information of those present.

Mr C. J. Harper Mid that Mr Scaly and hlmtelf had had a good deal of conversa tion regarding this matter. They were of opinion that a clock would be the moat useful form the memorial could take, and Mr Scaly had obtained tome data Id re gard to the oost of a suitable olook. The only difficulty that would be encountered w«i to find at place for the erection of the •lock, wbera It would be most useful to the public. He thought the questions for the meeting to determine were : first, whether a clock should be obtained j and secondly, if obtained, where should it be placed. The Chairman read letters from Messrs Coates and Co., and Petersen and Co., In regatd to the cotfc of docks. The former firm stated that they would supply a strik ing clock with one owt bell, and a 3ft dial for £72. The coat of fitting up would be •bout £10. Messrs Peterson and Co. said they could supply olooks from £5 10s upwards. They had a three dial turret clock for which they wanted £75.

The Chairman said tbat the letters showed that if the meeting decided on a dock, one of suitable quality and s'aa could be obtained, leaving a fair sum for fixing and other Incidental expenditure. The greats difficulty was m regard to a suitable place for its ereotlon. There was no placa m the town whioh was from every point of view detlrable. They would like to bare it In a plaoe where It would be visible .m moit pacts of the town and most nsefal to tb» public. There was no build ing at present which would answer to this. They would therefore, have to fall bsck on tbe Borough Council building, whioh, though not 10 desirable a site as conld be wished, still w»s tbe most suitable m the town, and was, he thought, sufficiently suitable for them to adopt. He bad seen Mr Fooks, tbe Borough Engineer, wbc ■aid tbat he h«d had the m*tter m view and had the beginning of a sketoh show ing Jjow the olook could be fitted In the turret of the Counoil building [Mr Walker exhibited the plan to whioh he alluded] He also ihid a plan of a fountain, If the masting should deolde on that form of memftfflAl,

Mr fiaaljr raid tbat aome time ago when the ereotlon of a memorial wis first talked of f Mr Blake spoke to him on the matter and be (Mr Seal)) said that nothing defi nite had been determined on then. When the prewnt meeting was called he saw Mr Blake and aaked him if be had any sug gestion to inftka to lay it before the meet tog, and it was m accordance with this that the plan of the fountain had been sent, Mr W. H. Kneen thought that those preunt had hto plenty of time to make ap their tnlndv, tbe matter hiving been nnder consideration tot mote than a year. He moved " That a clock costing about £75, be erected m the turret of the Borough Council Chamber*, eubjeot to the ptrmlMion of the Counoil." Mr Ohai. Reid seconded the mollon

Mr Harper agreed that the placa pro posed wss the only one m which they eoold pui the clock, though he did not thick it altogether suitable on account of tha plantation which was growing up In front of tbe building. Still the building was a pabllo one, and no doubt the Coon etl will attend to the maintenance of tbe clock. That was a matter for the meet ing to consider. The purchase and fitting •up of tba dock would exhaust the fund, and tbe question of maintenance mutt be settled before goiog farther. It would be advisable to appoint a small Committee to maka arrangements with the Borough Counoil and proceed with the work. Mr Koeen'a motion was then put to the { .meeting and oarrled. ' The Chairman thought that Mr Harper's sgggt^tion as to a Committee to m»ke arraogftjaents with the Borough Council as to the e ■ D(^ maintenance of tha clock ahoold acted upon. Mi D; Wllllamipn moved the appoint ment of a Committee uonsistlng of Messrs Walker, Harper, and flealy, to Brake arrangement! with the Borough Council, and with fall power to aot. Me Knten seconded tbe motion which wai carried. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Blake for forwarding plan of fountain. The muting dosed frith the usual com pliment to the ohalr.

THE MYSTEROUS MURDERS

(PKR PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

London. October 8

The evidence adduced at the inquest on the body of the woman found on the Thames Embankment, shows that the remains are those of a remarkably fine woman, and she was probably of good social position. No friends appeared to claim the body. The police have no clue to the murder, the circumstances of which are similar to those m connection with the Wlvtechapel murders.

ALLEGED LIBEL.

(PKK P&fiSci xiHHOGIATION.j

Ohbihtchuroh, October 10

At the B M. Oonrt to-day, before Me 0. Whltefoord, R.M., and Mesßra F. Galnnesß^nd F. J Kimbell, J P s, Thomas Brown Bain appeared to answer an Infor mation for having written and published a libel on Mr John Ollivler, R.M. Mr Joynt appeared for the defendaut, and Mr Holmea appeared m support of the infot mation, and explained that the accused appeared on a charge of defamatory libel on the administration of justice. On Sept. 26 Mr John Olliuier heard an information which was dismissed on September 27th. He was employed to defend the aocu?ed. From what he beard on the Raturdty following he found that a defamatory libel was being circulated. He was accused of having spent the eveniDg of Wednesday with Mr Oilivier, and having bribed or oorrupted him to give an improper ja 'g ment. The evidence showed that the libel bad been printed at Joseph Ivees' offie to the order of Bain, who before getting them printed consulted James oay gill, a printer, who recommended him to go to Ivess 1 office. Holmes and Loughrey, solicitors, offered a reward of £5 for in formation as to where they had been printed for they bore no imprint. Ao cu -ed reserved his defence and was com - mitted for trial, and admitted to bail on < his own recognisances A charge of libel on John Holmes was adjourned for a week

DEATH BY LIGHTNING

A curious case of death by lightning has juat occurred at Puy-de Fourche, m the Department* of the Dordogne. A farmer named Verneiul was at work m the fields with his family and some neighbors Wli«u-a — Lhundcrstdiux titliiiti onT TIIG .party Met Bought a refuge from the rain under a large tree, when some one re marked tbat this was rather Imprudent They accordingly determined to move off to a small wood near, and quitting their shelter ran towards It. When, however, they had g >t about half-tray one of the Verneuil'a daughters a girl of fourteen, stopped suddenly and slowly returned to the tree they had left. Some of her cempanlons followed to remonstrate with her, but before they oould reach ber, the child, who had thrown ber arras round the trunk, fell backwards on the ground, with ber arms outstretched, quite dead. No flash of lighting or clap of thunder wat observed. Toe girl, however, had been killed by the eleotrlo current, as * careful, examination made afterwards proved.

THE PROPOSED CO OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION.

A pull report of the proceedings at the meeting held on Saturday last with a view to the establishment of a Farmers' Co-operative Association m Ashburton, will be found m another column of this issue. In view of the action taken by the farmers of the Timaru district some years ago, and of that taken by those of North Canterbury which has resulted m the establishment of successful Co-opera tive Associations at Timaru and Christ church, it is not surprising that the farmers of this district should endeavor to follow suit, and tbe figures given at the meeting of Saturday with reßpect to \ the financial results of the working of the Christchnrch Association are cer tainly of an encouraging nature. It was shown that the Christchurch Association with a paid-up capital of about £22,000 had during the past year conducted transactions totalling up to £55,855, upon which a gross profit of £7601 was ob tained, enabling the payment of a 7 per cent dividend, and 3 per cent bonus to shareholders, and a 3 per cent bonus to purchasers of goods. On the more limited operations of a small Society started here, with a fifth or perhaps a tithe of the capital of the Christchurch .Association, such resultß could not bo expected, inasmuch as the cost of management would be proportionally larger m relation to the business done, and we think, therefore, that the meeting decided wisely m resolving to seek affili tion with the Christchurch Association which might work it as a branch. In this way it is quite possible that the project may be successfully carried out, which we think would not have been the case had the proposal for tbe formation of a separate Association for Ashburton been adopted.

WHY HE DID NOT GO T ) THE HOSPITAL HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR ' My object m writing is two-fold ;to express 5 my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a j j short story which cannot fail to interest the , feelings of many others. It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells the honest truth about himself he is all the 1 more likely to be of use to his fellow-cr« atures ! To begin, then, you must know I had long > been more or less subject to attacks of bron- chitis, a complaint that you are aware is very common and troublesome m Grent Britain m certain seasons of the year. Some months ago I had a very severe turn of it, worse, I think, than I ever had before. It was probably brought on by catching cold, aa we all are apt to when we least "expect it. We?ks passed by, and my trouble proved to be very obstinate. It would not yield to medicine, and as I also began to have violent racking pains m my limbs and back, I became greatly a'armed. I could neither eat nor sleep If I had been a feeble, sicky. man, I shou'd have thought less strangely of it ; but as, on the contrary, I was hearty and robusts I feared some new and terrible tbing had got hold of me, which might make strength of no avail against it. I say, that was the way I thought. Presently I could not even lie down for the pain all over my body. I asked my doctor what he thought of my condition, and he frankly said, ' lam sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse 1 " This so frightened my frieeds, as well as myself, that they said " Thomas, you vtust go to tlie Hotpital', it may be your only chance for ife\" But I didn't want to go to the hospital. Who does, when he f inks he can possibly get along without it ? I am a laboring man, with a large family depending on me for support, and I might almost as well be m my grave as to be laid on my back m a hospital unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows how long. Right at this point I had a thought flash across my mind like a stream of sunshine m a cloudy day. I had heard and read about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and T resolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospital, I would try that well-known remedy. On this I gave up the doctor's medicine and began taking the -yru . Mark the wonderful result ! I had taken but thice doses within twenty-fcur hours when I was seized with a fit of coughing, and threw up the phlegm and mucus off my chest by the mouthful. The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continuing with the Syrup, the raoking pain, which I believe came from and joints, soon left me entirely, and I the bitter and poisonous humours m my blood felt like going to sleep, and I did sleep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, with a natural appetite, and as I ate I soon got strong and well. 1 felt I could leap through the air with delight In a week I was able to go to my work again. It doesn't seem possible, yet it is true, and the neighbours know it. And, therefore when I say I preach the good news of the great power' of Seigel's Syrup to cure pain and disease far and widef nobody will wonder at me.
