COMMITTAL FOR TRIAL.

[PER I'RJESS ASSOCIATION.]

Gisborne, July 24. The murder case occupied the Court again to-day. F. M 'Donald, stockman, narrated a conversation with the accused about Streeter's disappearance. Black told witness that he parted with the deceased two miles and a half from the camp ; that Streeter had been home, kicked up a row with the "missus," and cleared out. He said Streeter had been seen at Mohaka, and called Mrs Streeter a relation of his. He showed witness her photograph be cause witness uttered a disparaging remark about the woman, and would not apeak to him for about a month. Witness said a man euchred Streeter out of the woman. Black replied that he mua^have been jealous and cleared out. Accused said Mrs Streeter was coming into £1500 from people at Home, and he spoke of buying property. Arthur Parkinson, a member of Black's camp, gave evidence as to what took place at the camp on March 30. Waring went for stores with witness to M'Donald's. Streeter and Black started out with the intention of shooting pigeons. Warms; and witness were back at four o'clock m the afternoon, when Black returnee 1 with out Streeter. He said Streeter had gone to town, he having given him £3. Wit ness had good reason to believe Black had not £8 after his visit to town. Accused told witness that Streeter had been m and gone away. On Saturday, April 5, Black suggested that they should knock off work early m the afternoon, and they did so. Witness and his mate returned to the camp, "Black saying he would go into the bush and have a look at the trees to be felled. Next day found a spade and an axe on a branch track near where the body was found. This led them to search the spot for the body. Black returned at seven m the evening, several hours after them, and said he had been lost m the bush. By Mr Rees, for the prisoner: On March 30 some Natives were m that locality on their way to grass-seed sowing. James Waring, Parkinson's mate, gave similar evidence. By Mr Rees : When Black came back to the camp on the 30th his gun was loaded. Mr Nolan here closed the case for the prosecution. The whole evidence was road over to the prisoner, taking two hours. Accused, who reserved his de fence, was committed for trial.

THE CHEMICAL RING.

Paper makers are combining against the proposed chemical ring.

Constable William Black has been gazetted clerk of the Eesident Magistrate's Court at South Rakaia. The dates for the election of a member for Timaru have been definitely fixed, and are the 11th August for the nomination, and 18th for the poll. Thomas Carlyle observed: "This that they call the organisation of labor is the universal vital problem of the world. It is the problem of the whole future for all who will m future pretend to govern men." Very recently the Austrian Minister ° Agriculture published a report regarding experiments conducted last year to ascer tain the value of inoculation as a preven tative of anthrax. The total number of cattle inoculated was 1191, comprising 377 under one year old, 586 under two years, 213 under three years, and fifteen over three years old. Of these animals only one died of the disease, while of 2254 unin oculated cattle with which they were herded, twelve died of anthrax. This should prove that there is some value m inoculation. In a petition presented to both Houses of Parliament, Dr Bakewell (of Auckland) mentions that he has for more than twenty two years made a special study of leprosy, of which he has had long experience m the West Indies and elsewhere, and has written several papers and reports on the disease and its treatment. Regret is expressed that leprosy has obtained such a footing m New Zealand as to imperatively require meatmrua for its treatment and the prevention of its spread. The writer states that within the last four months he has seen and examined two cases of leprosy, both of which have commenced m the colony ; besides which another case has been reported from the South Island. He therefore suggests the appointment of a committee to inquire as to the existence of leprosy, and as to the best method to be adopted for preventing its spread. There js a great outcry over Newfound" land affairs. The St. John's newpapers taunted the British naval. officers, saying that they ought to wear petticoats instead of breeches, and carry a lawn tennis racquet instead of a sword, and that though the British men-of-war were m Newfoundland waters ostensbly for fishing protection, these were they m reality to bolster up French claims to the fisheries, and to give the officers an opportunity to play lawn tennis. The report of the captain of the steamship Harlow, which went to the Bay of St. George with a cargo of provisions, is published m the Halifax papers of June 15th. He was not permitted to land any goods at the Bay, as the residents there refused to pay the Customs dues, and he proceeded up the coast as far aB Flower's Cove, where the people were found to be starving and reduced to such extreme want that they had nothing to eat but the rotten carcases of seals, and many were at the point of death when the Harlow arrived. Latest Australian files give particular* of an action for libel against the "Australian Star " Newspaper Company, and heard m the Sydney District Court on the 7th inst. The plaintiff, Cornelius Charles Maloney, was a retired school teacher, who had the misfor tune to be convicted m the Water Police Court on a charge of riotcms behaviour, under extenuating circumstances. Thereupon the defendant company caused to be published m their paper a paragraph as follows : — "Going to a Lecture.—' I was just going to a lecture down Riley^street, your Honor, said a wild-looking specimen of humanity named Cornelius C. Maloney at the Water Police Court this morning, ' when a young man insulted me, and I knocked lii:n down.' It was proved that Corney was the aggressor, and he was fined 20s, levy m (no) distress, or seven days. 'I am only a poor teacher, m lodgings, your Honor, and have got no goods.'. ' Then you must go to gaol,' said Mr Addison. ' Then, by God ! that's hard, your Honor,' said the hedge schoolmaster." It was proved m evidence that the report m most respects was altogether imaginary, and District Judge M'Farland gave judgment for the plaintiff with £40 damages.

These pills prevent, both unpleasant consequences; they improve the appetite, and with the increase desire for food, they augment the powers of digestion and assimi lation m the stomach. Holloway's Pills deal most satisfactorily with deranged or deceased condition of the many organs engaged m extracting nourishment for our bodies from our various diets—as the liver, stomach, and bowels, over all of which they exercise the most salutary control. By resort ing at an early stage of this malady to those purifying and laxative pills, the dyspeptic is speedily restored to health and strength, nd his aallowness gradually vanishes.



There is now to be seen m the shop v, indow of Messrs J. Scaly and Co., East street, a, collection of apples showing some of the sorts grown at the nurseries, Riverbank, that will repay inspection by any one who contem plates planting fruit plants.

Although Lister's dressing was applied, the secretion became, two days later, very copious, and had adopted a foetid decomposed character. The temperature rose enormously. In consequence the dressing was removed and m its place were made during the day-time repeated irrigations with Eucalypti Extract.

In this instance we must not lose sight of the fact that the latter treatment saved the patient's life." (Advt.) 3
