The Wellinton Sensation

[PEU PRESS ASSOCIATION] Wellington, November 30. The charge against Mrs Blake of attempt ing to poison her husband is being in- ( vestigated in the R.M. Court. Dr Skey, government analyst, states that he analysed a quantity of white substance found in the house by the police. This con sisted chiefly of flour and white precipitate —200 part flour and seven parts precipitate. The white substance found in Mrs Blake's purse when arrested waa pure mercurial powder. The hospital surgeon said Bbke was get ting on very well, but it would be a con siderable time before he was restored to his ordinary state of health, if, indeed he ever reached that condition.

The Trouble in South Africa.

* I Xtout of the JMafcalbele. Capetown, November 1. It is expected that a decisive fight will take place at Hope's Fountain, where all the Chartered Company's forces are pressing. Captain Raaf ex pects to effect a junction with Dr. Jameson, south of Bulawayo, where a large impi is massed. Many of Cap tain Raaf's horses are unfit for service. but the men are all well. The Chief Gungunhama is preparing to assist King Lobenguela because one of the envoys recently shot was a relative of his. The Chartered Company's Victoria column have been silent for ten days, and the officials are becoming anxious. The Matabeles are harassing the men sent out to repair the telegraph wires, which were cut some time ago. November 2. King Lobenguela is reported to be fleeing in a north-east direction, Half of Khama's regiment has been killed, and his power is broken. (Received November 3, 11 a.m.) News haa just been received of the crushing and decisive defeat of the Matabele. The enemy for many days preserved a wary attitude, and though in touch with scouts of the company's forces could not be brought to book On Friday, however, an impi made a vigorous attack on Forbes' laager. They were mowed down in large num bers by the unceasing fire of the breach loaders, but nothing daunted renewed the attack on Saturday, when the column had reached within ten miles of Bulawayo. The Maxim guns made terrible havoc in their crowded m asses of men, and after a severe struggle the Matabele showed signs of giving way under the continued shower of bullets. Seizing the opportunity Forbes ordered a general charge, and the dispirited natives gave way before the shock, and 1 were completely routed. The Imbeso regimen*, commanded by Lobenguela in person, alone stood firm. The enemy retreated to Bulawayo, but without giving them time to rally, the com* bined columns attacked and captured King's Kraal. Forbes' loss was only slight, but no less than three thousand Matabele were left dead on the field. Major Adams' column c;ime up just «■ after the capture of the stronghold. It is expected Bulawayo wil! be turned into a company fort, Dr Jameson remain ing as administrator. The Cape Government demand that Sir Cecil Rhodes be permitted to settle the Matabele question subject to the approval of the Imperial Government, »hd emphatically protest against Lord Ripon'interfering, in the meantime ■ scouts report that Lobenguela has fled ! into the North Mattoppo Hills, about 140 miles west of the position now -■ held by the Chartered Company's columns, and it is believed his ultimate scape is impossible, \

Captain Edwin says there are now well defined evidences of hard gales, with rain, and generally from the westward in most parts of the colony, between midnight on th» sth and midnight on the 7th instant. "How did this happen?" asked the sur geon, as he dressed the woucd in the cheek and applied a soothing poultice to the damaged eye. "Got hit with a stone 1' replied the patient. " Who threw it? < My—my wife," was the reluctant answer. " Hum—it's the first time I ever new a woman to hit anything she aimed at,'' muttered the surgeon. "She was throwing at a neighbour's hen," explained the sufferer. " I was behind her." The French Academy has just decided> after many years oi debate, and by a narrow majority, to reform French spelling. It would seem that the chief object of the re formers is external uniformity; but some sill think a word should, as far as possible, be a witness to its own pedigree. In Germany a similar new departure was made some years since, with some show of au thority, and a phamphletwas published; but public opinion halts uncertain between the new and the old. An unusual case of assault was heard at the Auckland Police Court on Monday, The defendant, a man named James Hander struck two men, in the passage of a hotel, with a slung shot. In answer to the Bench, prisoner said he had carried a slung shot all through the strike in Australia without having used it. The justices sentenced the man to one month's imprisonment with hard labor on each charge, the sentences to ran concurrently. A remarkable scheme for trapping eels is practised in India. Barrels loaded with stones and bait are pierced with holes and sunk in the water. Eels, smelling the food, find an entrance through the perforations ; they cannot easi'y get out again, and soon the interior is a wriggling mass of victims. The fisherman is sure to secure a couple of bushels at every haul.
