Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1894.

Thb public meeting, called for Monday wight m the Orange Hall, should be largely attended. Its ob the jecb is to consider ways wairarapa and means to augment the relief fund . relief fund for the sufferers by the VVairarapa disaster. The county of .Ashburton—and m this, of course, we include the borough—has never been either niggardly or slow In its re sponse when its benevolent instincts have be«n appealed to m a warrantable cause, This may be said with equal truth of every part of the colony, and there have been occasions, such, for instance, as the Kair tangata colliery explosion, when funds have flowed m so abundantly that after all legitimate demands of the bereaved have been satisfied, there still remained a large sum unappropriated. And this has been the case m many other instances up and down the colony. There can be no doubt that the loss of the Wairarapa will entail tpuch suffering upon nv»ny who have been bereaved of their breadwinners, and the relief of thj.3 suffering is a commendable channel in'o which to direct the benevo lence of the colony. On t«o other hand, although all who (jame ashore from the ill-fated ship are loscrp,—-some of them heavy loseps, oomp of them have lost their all —-there are numbers to whom financial help from- Outside is not necessary, and at present there is -m element of doubt as tn how much is likely to be required. We would be the last m the world to say one single word fchp£ might ba construed into even a hint to tfaa b&nevolent to hold their hand. But there is a way of giving Judiciously, and it would be a pity to poys? m money to any one benevolent fund, the surplus of wh£ch .cannot be used for some other benevolent purpose when theneces. sity has passed away that called j6 jnto existence. Therefore we would suggest that instead of giving to their full inten tion at once, intending contributors should guarantee up to the aaaount they are pre pared to give, and if the full amount of the guarantee is required, wejll and goo,* , if it is not, it need not be collected. This plan of a guarantee fujjd has been sug gested for Dunedin., arwt w« eojsjmend it to the promoters of, and speakers at, the public meeting on Monday. Some time ago we mentioned the fact fcbat a brother of Mr J. H. Maynard, of Ash burton, had been the murder of foully murdered m mr a. h. maynard Mexico. Details of ojc p. Bss:r,cp. the crime are given m the Western Morn ing News, of August SO, a^ follows: —]Sews of the treacherous murder of a^vall-^ovrn and much-respected native of Megan has caused intense excitement and regret m cany parts of the Mining Division of Cornwall, Mr Charles ,H.

minutes died. His wife knows of no one who would owe him a, giudge. He had no quarrel with anyone ; was a steady man, intellectual beyond ordinary, md generally esteemed by friends at homa and abroad. For some period ho h*d been engaged m mining, but of late had token to farm m?, and was living with his wife and family on his newly-»cqir.red ranch at a village near Chiltnahar. At this ranch ho has built: ? small Protestant church, and some conjecture that this has tafln fhe offence which cost him his Ufa. The intelligence was conveyed to his mother and other relatives m Cornwall by a Protestant clergyman Wing m the district, who writes with pr. found sym pathy. He had ca led on Mr Charles H. Rlayn^rd about the middle of July, and haa found him very busy, attending some sick people m the absence of a physisian, and his wife very cad on account of the recent violent death of her father, who had been .shot while m the discharge of his duty as a police officer m a mining town. They did all they could to comfort her, read the tfcripture? and prayed with her. On bund ay, the 22nd, to their great amazement and grief, they received notice of the murder of Mr Maynard. Every thing possible had been done to ascertain who committed the dreadful crime. Several men had been arrested on sus picion, but up to the tima news was de spatched no particulars had come to light. The clergyman adds, " The two daughters of our preacher had prayers with the wife while her dtad was m the house, and then a Roman Catholic woman, godmother of the child, m the absence of the priest, had some service according to the rites of her church." Mrs Charles fl. Maynard was a Mexican, but, with her husband, had been received into membership m the Protestant Church m Pasaa del Norte some years ago, and an infant sister of hers had been baptised by the clergyman who writes.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Attention is directed to Mr G. J. Neills drapery advertisement. Bargains to suit the times are announced. On Monday night, m the Orange Hall, a public meeting will be held to arrange for rendering assistance to the sufferers by the Wairarapa wreck. The attendance at the * People's Day ' of the Metropolitan Show was about 2500 less than m 1893. The takings amounted to £827 15s. against £956 6s kst year. An aggrieved defendant m a rabbit case heard at Masterton the other day said the inspectors resembled the Czar of Russia, and they ought to all be m Siberia, as they were only invented to harass settlers. The Wellington Education Board issued, for the last first grade drawing examina tion, 6115 papers. The papers worked totalled, 5477 ; passes, 3169 ; and failures, ) 2281. This is an increase on 1893 of 580 paper?. William Moir, punt keeper at Clydes dale ferry, was drowned m Clutha river yesterday. He is supposed to have fallen off the punt. His body has not been re- CDvered. The captain of the Ashburton Fire Brigade desires to acknowledge receipt of £2 2d from Messrs P. and D, Duncan as a subscription to the funds of the Brigade, m recognition of the Brigade's services at the firs on their premises on Saturday latst. Mr A. M. Clark, of Temuka, was stizad with a fit on «he Show Grounds yesterday mornirif, and v us taken to the Canter buiy Club. It was revolted m the afternoon that he was m a very serious condition, bn'; inquiries made m the evening showed that he was very much better f|A Wairarapa paper says:—We hear that about thirty idle men are m the Masterton boarding-houses, and about forty m private residences. On each of the fctation-s ihe unemployed are said to be increasing, a,nd numbering from twenty to thirty to each run. A meteorolite, weighing 1961b5, has been found on the salt marsh east of Mug* Downs, North Wfssb Australia. It is an iron-stained mass cf bright pure metal, not a particle of stone being visible, and when struck with any hard substance rings like an anvil. It is two feet long, one foot at its greatest width, and eight inches thick,| In order to purify national legislation' an American senator has brought m a Bil J to restrain sonators and representatives during their term of office from owning or being concerned, directly or indirectly, owning, buying, selling, or dealing m speculative stocks, the value of which may m any manner depend upon a vote of Congress. A brutal murder was committed m Napier street, South Melbourne, on Octo ber 10. George Morrison, aged forty, a coachbuilder, m. a sudden fit ot temper, first stabbed his wife m the face with a bootmaker's knife, and then because the knife was bent with the force of the blow, he battered her head with a bootmaker's iron last. There has recently been on view m the window of a Wellington confectioner, a handsome wedding cake. It weighs 1751 b, stands four feet six inches high and measures two feet six inches m diameter ad the base. It his five tiers, sexagonal m shape, eachbcautiful'y ornamented with scrolls, borders, and network, the lower one representing a lake with swans float ing on its surface. The cake has been made to the order of a Wellington citizsn, whose daughter is to be married m a few days. Referring to the decision of the Appeal Court to sit on the Prince of Wales' Birth day, the Wellington Times m its leading columns says:—We always hear with reverence the farftiliar cry m the cotuts of ' God save his Honor, the Queen's Judge.' We fully expect to hear queries as to whether five of the Queen's judges are m their collective capacity loyal. Their example is certainly bad, and the evil ia deepened by the fact that the day ia a stfcttifcoi-jr holiday. The law will not allow certain employers to keep their people at work on this day, yet judges, who do no work on Saturdays, disrsgard the spirit of the law by working and keeping all their people at work. Ia the matter of loyalty to the throne, aud m the matter of respect for fhg law of the : laud, the highest legal authority m ijio colony has given a bad example to the people of the colony. The article concludes :— We take it that the Qneen's judges were more £sleep than awake when cney came to their deplorable decision to sit to-day.

THE METROPOLITAN SHOW.

FIRST DAY.

The judging day of the Metropolitan Show on Thursday attracted a fairly numerous attendance. The weather was beaut Ku!, -md the various exhibits were examined very carefully by the visitors. His Excellency the Governor visited tho ground during the afternoon, and was escorted round the Hhow by the Presi dent, Vice-President, and Sir John Hall. There was a large gathering of those interested m stock, but few of. the general public. Some sections showed a marked increase m entries compared with previ ous years; others showed a falling off, but the total entries were slightly larger than the previous best record, and the show generally was one of the most interesting the Association has yet held. SHKEF were the most important feature. , There I was not much competition m the merino classes, but the quality of the exhibits was quite up to tho best standard. Mr 0. j Ensor and Mr W. Lyttleton took most of the prizes m fine combing and Mr A. A. McMaster m strong combing, the latter's being wonderfully fine sheep. There was 1 a phenomenal entry of English Leicesters, totalling 172 pens. The quality m every c^ass was splendid, though traces of a bad winter were visible m the condition of many of the sheep. The chief winners were:—Messrs F, C. Murray, J. M. Furze, James Little, Joseph Taylor, H. j E. Parryman, Donald Grant, Bonifant, and Threlkeld, and others took minor awards. Strong-woolled type, tending towards Lincoln m the character of the wool, met most favor. Border-Leicesters were also an excellent section. The Hon. M. Holmes was most successful, while Messrs John Little, Little Brothers, Me- Kercher Brothers, and the School of Agriculture were also winners. Messrs Holmes and Little's sheep were splendidly brought out, but Mr John Reid's and some of the other exhibitors' lots were m poor condition Lincolns were fewer than last year, but of better quality than ever before seen on a New Zealand show ground. The Moeraki estate's Kirkham | ram won m a strong adulfc class, and one of their own breeding, sold to Mr Archi bald (formerly of Awanooa), was second. The third went *o Mr W. Wilson (Pal merston North), and Messrs Marris and Sutton (Thornbury), and T. Tanner (Napier) came next m ord«>r. Moeraki was seen again m the four-tooth rams; Mr Fred Sutton took second, and Messrs Holmes and Wilson secured the other places. Mr Holmes waa first, second, and commended for ram hoggets— the intervening three places being filled by Mr Henry Overton, the Moeraki estate, and Mr Fred. Sutton. The exhibits m this class were rathei backward m condition, though of grand [ quality. Messrs Morris and Sutton won the ewe medal and fllr Holmes waa first m the other ewe classes. Mr Menlove's ewe hoggets were very backward. JEtomney Marsh were a capital collection. Mr A, 0, Lang (Oamaru), with Elderslie blood, and Mr John Reid himself were the most successful. Mr Eobert Cobb (Palmer' ston North) and the Hon M. Holmes coming next. Southdowns were yen good, Mr John Deans taking all the firnts but one, which went to Mr H, Pannetc Shropshire Downs showed a great in> pvovement m quality, Mr Charles Lewis was the principal winner. His importec ram beat Mr Burton's last year's winner, Messrs Upton, M'llwraith, Borton, Cun ningham, and School of Agriculture wert the other exhibitors, all more or less sua cessful. In Hampshire Downs the grand rams imported by Mr 4,. O'Brien (Waira rapa) and their stock won m the aged and four-tooth rams, another imported rain being second. In the aged class Mr Mas Fried'ander and his young son tcok all the other prizes. The hon M. Holmes Cheviots attracted conhiderable attention, but did not take the fancy of Canterbury fbekowners. Crossbred and fab sheep made a magnificent display both m num ber and quality. They were all Canter 1 bury exhibits, OATf^E. The cattle classes tilled badly, Otagc exhibits being greatly missad. Mr John Deans did not meet much opposition with his grand shorthorns. The Land Com pany, Totara, were tho only exhibitors ol polled Angus. There was a nice collec tion of Alderneys, but the absence of Mi K. B. Ferguson's Ayrshires left thab sec tion very meagre. Mr G. H. Rhodes Highland cattle were a great attraction. Mr S. Garforth took the majority oi prizes for fat cattle, which were the weakest lot for years. HOKSE3. Owing mainly to the long illness of Mi John Ferguson, usually a large exhibitor, draught horses were not up to the quality or number of previous years, and many of those present were either lame or faulty. Mr John Boag's Middle Bigg was first and took the medal, Mr M'Donald's Rosebery being second, and Mr M'Kellar's Rob Roy third. Mr Little's Waikarimoana was first m three-year olds, the Marquis of Coldstream second. Mr Holmes' Cedric the Saxon and Prince Alfred, both by Crown Prince, was first and second m two-year-old colts. Mr Small's Miss Palmer took first for mares. The young stock were nob of much merit, but the working mares and geldings were very good, PIGS. In both black and white James Rowe was most successful against fair competi tion. DAIRY i'RODUCB, ETC. There was not a large display of dairy produce. The Tai Tapu, Sefton Central, and Sefton factories, were placed as named fcr njachine-made butter, but the Central won m the factory class. The VVaikouaiti, Inchclutha, and Stirling factories divided honors for cheese. There was keen com-, petition m the bacon cjasses. In seed the Farmers' Co-operative Association, Can terbury Seed Company, and Mr G. G, Stead, took medals. Manufacturers' and extra exhibits were very numerous, and there was a magnificent display of imple ments and machinery.

SECOND DAY.

There was a large attendance At the second day of the Show, though the number fell a good deal short ef lasl year's total. At the luncheon, the Governor and Mr Seddon proposed tnastb. MGIfT HORSES. The light horse section, which was judged yesterday, was deprived of a great deal of interest through lack of competi tion m blood stock, heavy weight hunters and carriage horses, and !n the entries for a number of special prizes. Hackney stallions were a remarkably good Jot. Dog carthorses were also good. Ponies were really the feature of the Show, In jump ing there were only four entries. Encore W(>«i the high jump for the third year m succession, Chainshot was placed first m thoroughbred stallions.

CLIFF ACCIDENT AT LYTTELTON.

*— v A Fall of IViii«ty V««t. Oue «»f tl»» Hon. W. C. Walker* §«*;» Injure I Yesterday a telephone message from Suoiner was received at Lyttelton to the effect that two boys had fallen over trie cliff near the lighthouse. The Harbour Board tug, having on board Dr Pair man and two constables with an ambulance stretcher, was at once despatched. On arriving it was found fhafc the two lads named Alexander (16) aud Cecil Ramsay (18), sons of the Koo. W. 0. Walker, M. L.O , were lying at the foot of a kind of gutter down which r.hey bad fallen for a distance of ninety feet, resulting m the younger lad having one thigh broken, and the flesh badly torn, while the other lad escaped with a shaking and a faw scratches. Endeavors were made to' reach the lads with a boat, but this had to be given up after several attempts, lasting several hours, and their rescue was finally effected by W. Sinclair, one of the tug's crew, landing on the other side of the cliff and climbing to the top, whence a I line was lowered, down which Sinclair swarmed. Having reached the disabled lad he secured the broken limb by lashing ib to the sound one; then, hoisting the boy on his back, he climbed up the rope hand over hand to the top of the cliff, which he had to pit astride of while he slung young Walker m a bowline and lowered him dawn the other side to the boat's crew. The sufferer was then taken on board the tug, where the broken limb was set by Dr Painmn. The other lad was able to climb the rope without assistance. The tug returned to Lyttel ton at; nine p.m., and the sufferer was taken to the casual ward. It appears that the two lads, with a companion, Hildebrand Holderness, left Christ church m the morning with the inten tion of going to the lighthouse. After leaving Sumner they went along the top of the cliff, and when near the lighthouse one of the boys Walker attempt ed to get whfvt appeared to be a bird's nest among some loose rock on the brow of the cliff. The rock slipped under his feet, and his ) brother clutched at his hnnd to save him, and both fell over the cliff on to the rocks below. The boy Holderness ran at once to the lighthouse for assistance, and the men there returned with him bringing a rope which was found to be too short. An attempt was made without effect to com municate with Lyttelton by telephone, and Holderness and one of the men, named Monk, went to Sumner, where word was sent to Lyttelton, and the tug was sent to recover the two boys, who were rescued as detailed above.

CRICKET.

' ■ Wellington, November 9. The infcerprovincial match, Wellington v Canterbury, began this afternoon, and so far has gone m favor of the local team. Five of the visitors only landed ty the Takapuna at noon, and the rough trip had a goed deal to do with their poor batting. The day was dusty and windy and the attendance was about 1000 Wel lington scoted 146, of which Cross and A. Blacklock put en 51 for the first wicket, Ouff then went on to bowl, and proved very effective. The chief scorers were A. Blacklock 31, Cross 21, Gore 29, and Fuller 2L. Cuff took four wickets for 14, and Pearcs three for 14. Robertson proved an expense, and did not get a wicket. Canterbury made 88—Cuff 29, labatt and MacFatlane 12 each. Uphym bowled exceedingly well against the wind, and secured 5 wickets for 2 run-s. Wellington, .November 10 The m*.?ch Canterbury v Wellington was resumed to-day. The weather was windy but fine. With a taad of 58 on the first innings, Wellington began their second inning?, and at 11.45 had lost two wickets for 100, Cross scoring 59, includ ing 12 fours. At lanoh, Wellington had lost 3 wickets for 167. A Blacklock not out 42, C. Gore not out 17. Holdship scored 17.

The St 41 bans aad Aehburton Cricket Clubs played thsir annual mate!) yester day at St Albans. and the game resulted m a win fcr St Albans by 77 runs on tha first innings. The game was a very enjoyable one, and was witnessed by a fair number of spectators. The scores were:—Ashburton 78 (Andrews 22, Burke 13), St Albans 155 (R. Smith 60, Lawrance 32, J. Colville 30). ■■■—■••—■—•■•■•■^■^

COMMERCIAL.

London, Novembm 8 Fifteen hundred bales of wool, saved from the wrecked steamer Dorunda, were sold at good prices. The stock of butter m hand is 12,000 cases A rise m the finest factory-made by 4s per cwt is expected as compared with the prices realised this time last year. The import of butter into Great Britain during October increased to 1050 tons. Two-thirds of the shipment of eggs, ex steamer Ballarat, were broken ,• the ite mainder arrived m good condition, but the consignment was rendered unsaleable owing to breakages. It is thought that the eggs should not be frozen as the frost caused the shell to break. Melbourne, November 9 The Dairymen's Association carried reso lutions strongly condemning the London Butter Committee fixing the price of butfcer to arrive, characterising such action as that of a ring of dealers. The Association recommended factories m the colonies not to send their butter through local agents representing London firms. 1 November 9 During the week 28,000 bales of wool were offered, 24,000 were sold Prices show no improvement, the highest for greasy being 7|d per lb, and for scoured ll|d. London, November 8. The leading butter firms resent the action of the Dairymen's Association m Victoria. I Messrs Coey and Tren grouse state that self-1 interest will induce merchants to obtain the I highest price for butter, and assert that the Victorian dairymen must be ignorant of the condition of the market, and apparently rfo I not understand the position of the sales- I men. They say that prior to fixing prites I the Committee consider the weather and I also the stocks of English and foreign I arrivals. They also demand the same I information from the counties. They al'egej that the salesmen are disposed to ignore I the action of the Dairymen's Association, I and declare that, owing to monetary I advances, i^ is to the former'B advantage to I obtain thebes' prices, but that unless some I fixed market rate is adopted, prices will be I lower, A number of salesmen are anxious I and hope to reach the Danish level, which I at present is 114s per cv\ t.

Many Re publican candidates were pledged not to interfere with the tariff, but owing to the enormous success possibly a few may |be attempted to increase protec tion. In view of the victory, many advocate making McKinley the next President of the United States. The Democrats attribute their defeat to other causes besides the tariff, which are said to be the Hawaiian difficulty, exclusion of Chinese, and the decision that the Sugar Trust should pay duty. The Tammany ring lost the control of their chief stronghold m New York. The party gains six votes m the Senate. Senator Bland was defeated. The Eepublieans carried Tennessee and North Carolina.

It is stated that Li Hung Chang foreseeing the capture of Port Arthur, ordered the warships to leave the harbor. Prince Kung prevented them doing so, and it is now believed that, owing to'the Japanese investment, it will be necessary for the Chinese to abandon and destroy their owa war ships.
