INTERPROVINCIAL.

Wanganui, April 3, A fatal accident occured at Kai-iwi on Saturday at 5.30 m the afternoon. A youth named William Bullock, about eighteen years of age, m the employ of Mr Russell, whilst tending a threshing machine, slipped, and getting one leg into the drum of the machine, it was horribly mangled right up to the knee, oefore he could be got out. It wan three hours be fore the doctors could reach the place, and when thej saw the injuries it was not thought advisable to amputate until to day. The mangled portions were re moved, but the youth died at 11,30 last night from shock to the system. Another accident happened on batur day afternoon, but of a less serious nature. In the return match between the { Warrangate and Bulls Polo Clubs, W. Chapman met with a painful accident by a fall from his pony. His head was in jured, and he remained unconscious for three hours. It was feared there was concussion of the brain, but such turns out not to be the case. A youth named Gavin Alexander broke his wrist at Momahaki on Saturday morning. Wellington, April 2. Carmichael and Sons' contract at £13,149 has been accepted for additions to the Government Insurance Buildings. A curious accident happened yesterday. Some piles were being removed from under a house with a view to lowering it, when they suddenly gave way. A. mnn named Maline and a boy named Jenkins were beneath, and only escaped being crushed to death by two or three piles holding fast and protecting them. As it was they were severely injured. An elderly man named James Craig has been arrested on a charge of arson at Silver Stream m the Hutt district- Prisoner was ejected from a cottage which he occupied while employed as a laborer on a daiiy farm, and shortly afterwards the building was burnt to the ground. Craig was admitted to bail pending the nquest. __ The Unien Company's steamer Mangana which is to be laid up m Wellington for the winter, steamed down towards her pro posed mooring, but she stuck hard and fast opposite the Manawatu Railway Com pany's reclamation. No damage was done to the vessel, and she is expected to float off with the rising tide. Dr Marten, who has returned from a visit to the Hot Lakes district, carefully examined the Maori lepers at Tokano, and found at least one case of true leprosy developed. "Westpokt, April 2. The coal exported for the week ended to-day, was 4800 tons. DrjNEDiN, April 2. The Maeiewhenua mining case is con cluded, Mr Justice Williams reserving judgment.

THE Deeming Murders.

jfKK IMIESS ASSOCIATION]

Syknby, April 2. Deeming, under the name of Law son, was m Plymouth m 1888 and suddenly departed for London. One of the " Kipper" murders was com mitted two days later. A hammer-headed axe used m post mortems was found amongst Williams' luggage m addition to a dissecting knife.

During the next six months the First Edition of the Guabdian goes to press at 3.30 o.m. Mr John Douglas has been appointed secretary to the Department of Agriculture. At the Police Court this morning, before Mr Alfred Harrison, a first offender, who had been found drunk on Saturday night was dismissed with a caution. J^ The St. Lawrence River is the only absolutely floodless river m the world. Its greatest variation, caused by drought or rain, never exceeds a foot. The ricket match Chris tclmrch Wanderers v Hawke's Bay resulted m a win for the latter, who scred 81 and 105, against the Wandeiers' 89 and 47. During the year ended March 31, the excess of departures from the colony over arrivals dropped to 135. It is believed that tourists returning home after the holidays accounts for the number. The opening of the football season took place on Saturday, when a good game was enjoyed by the members of the Ashburton Football Club. Another practice will be held on Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock when all players or intending players are invited to take part. The ball will be on the ground every evening. An important judgment affecting local bodies has been given by the Chief Justice. Mrs S packman obtained £200 damages from the Wairarapa North County Council for the loss of her husband, who was killed by falling down an embankment on the road. The Countil appealed, and Chief Justice Prendergast sustained the appeal with costs, on the ground that no duty was cast on local bodies to fence dangerous places on roads. Mr S. Salek announces by advertisement that he has taken the shop lately occupied by Mr A. Black (next door to Mr C. M. Brooke, chemist), and having withdrawn from the firm of I. Salek and Co , will open on April 23 as watchmaker and jeweller. Mr Salek intends to fit up the shop m a style worthy of any town m New Zealand, and to open with a large and choice stock of jewellery, etc. He intends to gives the people of Ashburton and district an oppor tunity of choosing from a stock that will compare favorably with any m Chtistchur'ch.

JThn largest edible oysters are found at Port Lincoln, m South Australia. They aie as large as a dinner plite, and the same shape. They are bometimes more than a foot across the shell and the oyster fits the shell so well that he does not leave much margin. It is a new sensation, when a friend a«ks you to lunch at Adelaide, to have one oyster set before you iried m butter or egg and bread crumbs. Bnt it is a very pleasant sensation, for the flavour and delicacy of the Port Lincoln mammoths are proverbial m the land of luxuries.
