ment Company has made a profit for the year of £3000. A dividend of 9 per cent is recommended, and the report of the directors Bay that changing conditions and the uncertain ties of the future have im posed on the directors the duty of exer cising the utmost vigilance and circum spection in the conduct of the business of the Company. Ihe directors hope that if a period of rest were possible the approaching prospects of both lenders and borrowers would be improved. The directors have satisfaction in noticing that the Colonial Treasurer listened to the representations of this and other Societies with reference to the proposed taxation of last year, and the tax as pay able will mean a substantial increase, but will fall considerably short of the pro posals first formulated. It is expected that the Terranora will complete repairs to the single core cable to-night, Christchukch, July 20. The following resolutions were carried unanimously at a representative meeting of railway employes in Christchurch last night.—"The Civil Service Bill, as framed is altogether unsuitable for rail way employees, and does not provide adequate provision for them, and this meeting is strongly of opinion that the proposals for the insurance of railway employees already presented to the Go vernment provide the only suitable and acceptable scheme." It was decided that the Chairman forward the resolutions to the Railway Commissioners, with a re-, quest that they present them to Govern ment and do their utmost in the interests j of their employees to have effect given to j them.

Blenheim, July 20. Thomas William Audrell was charged to-day with feloniously receiving a quan tity of tobacco well knowing the same to be stolen. He was committed foi trial ; bail m £100 and two sureties of £50 each. Dusbdin, July 20. < George McGurr, charged with wound ing Cafton at Middlemarch, by stabbing him during a fight, was to-day committed or trial.

POLITICAL.

;■:;■ (jPROM OUR PARLIAMENTARY ) Wellington, July 20. ELECTIVE GOVERNORS. " Mr R. M. Taylor is ready with his •* Elective Governor's Bill." THE OTAGO CENTRAL. Shoals of petitions for the pushing on of the Otago Central Railway line are flowing m. TARANAKI. Mr E. M. Smith has returned from Taranaki with mare iron and specimens, decorated with the camelias of his Eden —New Plymouth. COMPENSATION. Mr Meredith has given notice of motion to the effect that the House declare that compensation to publicans is subversive of the rights of the people ; but that an Act be passed giving to anyone the right to exact compensation from any publican who by selling intoxicants has caused in toxication and injured families. Mr Duthie is moving an amendment to the Licensing Bill m the direction of abolishing the present elective commit tees, and substituting committees nomi nated by the Government, and also pro poses that a poll of electors on the general roll m each district be taken to decide whether licenses be renewed, but they must not be reduced beyond a cer tain proportion of the population of that particular district, an actual majority of those on the roll to be necessary to secure a reduction, and that there Bhall be no compensation for licenses so terminated.

A PETITION. Mr S. S. Cooper, late Under Secretary, is applying for further recognition of his long services. B.VSINE3B. . , The Premier pushed on business tins afternoon. He moved that the questions on the order paper stand over and the Financial Debate be proceeded with. Mr Rol'eston protested, but the Premier was firm. He said the waste of time yester day over Mr Meredith's question showed that business would have to be pushed on. This determination is generally applauded, for many questions put to Ministers are of an almost frivolous and often of a merely vexations character. The Hon. Mr Richardson is to move m the direction of fixing half-past 12 o'clock as the limit of the day'? sitting of the House, unless otherwise ordered.

OBITUARY.

THOMAS GREGORY CHAPMAN. The grave closed to-day over the re mains of another old settler, Mr Thomas Gregory Chapman, of Willowby, who died on Tuesday momma; m his ninetieth year. On account of his advanced years S/iv Chapman has not lately been seen be yond the locality m which he lived, but there he was very well known, and there were few, if any, who took a keener in terest m social and religious affairs m [|}c Willowby distrjct;.. He also watched political moveijjents attentively, and until a few hours of h, is death expected to be fcept posted up on all these subjects, fchoae wh° came m contact with him find ing him a keen qnes£iqner and Intelligent talker. Mr Chapman was bprn ;n Devon port, England. His fattier was a soldier, and served through the Waterloo camr paign, and Mr Chapman often told of agoing with bis mother to Gibraltar to see his father before he weflt to the ffont, jlescxibing the b,e^uties of the Rock and the\'ar(eties of fjowers. that grow tftere. After peace wag proclaimed the family removed to .Pjmbrookj LinQolnahire —his father's birthplace—"*nd this journey, by the old stage waggon, taking several days to accomplish, was also the subject of rernipiscences. Mr Chapman there learned gardening, and then began busi ness as gardener and seedsman, which he carried on until he left for New Zealand. He, with his family, arrived at Lyttelton m January, 1865, and bought and farmed fond ftf JJjemp.le.tpri, H<s sons, now jfoown' as' Chapma'i. Brother*, iv }BfH Bedde i to try the Ashburton district; and bought land in' Wakanui. Immediately afterwards Longbeacli ' was opened for gale, and m 1874 l}ie brothers bought jtyeir present farm \y ill" why, selling ifyeir ' property. Their father, {fearing to 'Hjre ' wfih h \s ffimily, &oon afterwards sold his farm at Tenipleton, retiring from active business, and took up his abode with his sons at Willowby. where he spent the remain Jer of his days. Mr Chapman was then 72, but very active and energetic, and thcugh his sight gradually failed it was only nine months ftfjo that his strength abated, and h|s Rental nowerq were ijq|nipace4 tq tjja TVir Cl^pmin wiß a Wesleyan Metho : dist |rom his yoqth, and took an actiye part m all tho work of the cWroU, bqing a local preacher and cl^ls^ leader for pro bably fifty yoars witli great acceptince to those whom he met m tho«e capacities £he Chapman family form a link between, the ficst days of Methodism and the pre lent time, Mr Chapman'o gnndfatliQ'

having been a local preacher under John Wesley, and the •ieceased often spoke of seeing his grandfather going to his various Appointments. Mr Chapman suffered o great deal m his kbt illness, but passed peacefully <iway —"For he endured as seeing Him who is invisible." He leaves behind him a wife, m h«r eighty-fourth year, two sons and a daughter. The fuiieral, which was to the Ashbur- ( ton cemetery, was very largely attended. The funeral services were conducted by Revs Lawry and Gray.

ASHBURTON-THURSDAY. (Before Mr C. A. Wray R.M.) Drunkenness. — George Palmer was sent to gaol for forty-eight hours for drunkenness. Lousy Sheep.—James Crossan. pleaded I guilty to having had fifty sheep m the Tinwald saleyards, and was fined £1. Civil Cases.—F. Black vA. Orr, £19 17s 3d. In this case, which was heard laat Co"urt day, his Worship gave judgment as follows:~ln this case I find, on the facts, that the plaintiff has failed to prove any agreement that the de fendant was to bear the cost of repairs done by Bairstow £6 ss, or to pay for fch« window £410s. The amount; levied for rent was due, but the defendant was not entitled to distrain for the last three weeks' rent—which so far w*B excessive. On the whole state of accounts between the parties, I find m favor of the de fendant, and on the question of damages for excess, that none were sustained by the plaintiff, and I give judgment for the defendant, without costs The following cases were undefended and verdicts for the plaintiffs were given Iby default:—H. W. Felton v T. Wood, £3 & 6d ; G, J. F. Lublow v J. Magee £2168.

The Sydenham Licen sing Cases.

JUDGMENT AGAINST THE,COM MITTBE. [VILR PRESS ASSOCIATION 1, Chpistohurch, July 20. Judgment was cVivered this morning m the SyJaabatn Licensing case. His Honor Mr J ustica Denniston, m a very lengthy and elaborate judgment, reviewed the whole facts of the case, pointing out that the matter to be decided was whether the C'-mmittee could be said to have dealt with the applications m a strictly judicial manner. His Honor said :—" Their Chairman remains head of the Prohibit on League and editor of their journal, and m a letter to the publio journals rejoices m the consequences of the election, one of which admittedly is the closing of all licensed houses m the district. The Chairman also attends as an opponent a meeting called to sympa th'B3 luth those whom he has judicially deprived of licenses." After referring to the affidavits and the fact that the Court was entitled to interfere when the Com.nit t.;e acts non-judicial'y th« judgment proceeded as follows :— " Having to answer the question as to the action of the Committee I can answer m only oneway. I think the circumstances show that the majority of the Committee have been unable to bring a judicial mind to the consideration of the question—have, m fact, decided on what have been called prohibition lines and without due consideration of the actual requirements of the district, I think, therefore, the plaintiff is entitled to a writ of ceitiorari to bring up and quash the certificate. I do not see how, m the view I have taken, I can do other than order the costs of the proc «dings to be paid by those members of the Committee who have appeared to oppose the motion." Mr Caygill obtained leave to appeal.

Mrs Charles Hugo, better known as Miss Priscilla Verne, has been granted by the Melbourne Court a divorce from her husband on the grounds of his cruelty and habitual drunkenness. At Wakanui last night the Rev E. A. Sroit gave a lecture m the schoolroom m aid of the funds of the Sunday School recently formed, irrespective of denomination, by the house holders m the vicinity. The room was comfortably filled when the chair was taken by Mr David Johnson, who m introducing the lecturer explained the object of the new Sunday School, The Rev Mr Scott announced that he had chosen for his subject, " Household Furniture," as being not altogether unconnected with that originally proposed to him by the promoters —"Love, Courtship and Marriage." In furnishing a home good books were indis pensable, though life wat too short to permit of nine-tenths of the reading of modern novels. The lecturer having spokenof selectica m pictures and of the sweet influence of flowers concluded by saying that the most beautiful household was yet incomplete lacking that last and best of all adornments—the bride. A vote of thanks having been proposed by Mr Speight and carried by acclamation, the meeting terminated with the singing of the National Anthem. SANDER AND SONS EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.—In protection of the world made fame our manufacture has acquired all over the globe, we publish the following :— Hazard, M.D., Professor of General Patho logy and Diseases of the Mind and Nervous system, says m an editorial published m tne "Clinical Record":—"We have examined half-a-dozen specimens of different manufac tures ; the preparation of Sander and Sons was the only "one that proved to be reliable and corresponding to scientific tests."
