RAKAIA ROAD BOARD ELLCTION.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir, —May I solicit space in your columns to state my reasons for allowing myself to be nominated to contest the election for a seat on the Board, As many of the working men of the district seem very much dksatisfied with the system adopted by the present members of the Board of privately letting the work to private individuals, instead of inviting tenders from the public, and bo giving everyone a chance to compete for the work, they have accordingly made up their minds to endeavour to get fresh men to come forward at nsxfc general election if no alteration is made during the year. They also thought ifc would be advisable to get some fresh man elected this year to agitate the change. This was their reason for asking me to come for ward, but unfortunately my support was only 46 votes, and this result I cannot understand as I was promised individually many more than this number. Some of my supporters told me when they went to the poll to record their votes that the re turning officer told them that names were not on the roll. Others informed me that I would have had their vote if it had been a general election, but I had no right to put the country to the expense of an election at the present time. But by whatever means, I have had a proper defeat this time, but not dispirited or even disappointed, as I will be saved the trouble of agitating or trying to amend the omissions of the present members. I may state that I am personally not anxious for public honor, but if the rate payers fail to get new blood sufficient to come forward at next general election, you may count on your humble servant as one. I will be very careful of my stepping stones next time. At the last election ior members of the House, by taking so strong a part to support the present demo cratic Government, I lost caste with many of the largest farmers. This I regret, but it will not cause me to alter my policy in the least, but will give me more courage to oppose them until single voting takes the place of plural voting, and do away with the power of property qualification. I trust that the one-man one-vote ques tion will occupy the Legislature part of their time next session, It ia only a matter of time for the single vote to be come law, as the Sadicals will force the measure in timet While lam writing I may state that many of the ratepayers in the Kakaia district are not satisfied at the high salary paid to the clerk. He receives £150 a year for a little more, I believe, than half time. Should nofc the Board likewise invite applicants for the billet, etnd I am certain if this were done they would have no trouble in appointing a good m&o for, at bbc outside, £100. And to substantiate this I could guarantee a capable man for less money, in these times many would be very glad of the oppor tunity. As the ratepayers are pushed to the utmost to make both ends meet the Board is in duty bound to economise, as the surplus saved from this item would employ some poor man and his family and piobablysave him irom semi-starvation —I am, eco.,

The Dangers of the Deep

Gisbokfe, May 14

The schooner Awanui has arrived from Auckland. Whea in Waipiro Bay on Sunday morniag she had a narrow escape of beinr driven ashore. A tremendous sea «»s running and breaking all round the Vessel, and there was not sufficient wipcl to fill the schooner's sails. Both anchos were lets go bat the strain on the cables was aucli that it waa feared they would break. At 530 a.m, the vessel began steadily to drag her anchors. Whole eeaa were shipped and washed the vessel fore and aft, and the crew were in danger of being washed overboard. Aftei an exciting experiflnce ksing half an hour, a breeze sprang up, and tha captain hoisted sail, slipped his anchors, and the Awanui, sailing through a mass of broken se&s, gradually got out of her perilous position and made for the open sea.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT

A serious railway collision took plaoe on Saturday night as the south train was passing the Tinwald saleyards. Arthur Willis, in the employ of Mr H. H. Stephens, who has recently taken a farm at Raapuna, waa driving a team of three horses harnessed to a dray, with one horse being led behind, from the farm. As he neared the railway crossing by the saleyards the horses increased their pace, and through the noise caused by the jolt ing of the empty dray he did not hear the approaching train until well on to the crossing, and it was too late to pull up. The train was travelling at about thirty miles an hour at the time of the collision, and the engine caught the horses and dray throwing them twenty yards away. Three of the horses were killed and one of the shafts was broken off the dray, bat by a wonderful piece of good fortune W illis, though thrown with great force from the dray, sustained no injury except the con sequent severe shaking and a few bruises. The engine driver and the fireman re ceived their first intimation of the colli sion by feeling the shock, followed by a shower of glass and splinters of wood, caused by the site of the cab of the engins being shattered. The driver promptly stepped the engine,when the causa of the collision was discovered, It was then found that the engine had been seriously damaged, as besides several rods having been bent there was a hole about eighteen inches in the tender water tank. He suc ceeded in getting the train to the Ash burton station, but there it had to wait the arrival of the north train, when the Christclmreh engine was utilised to take the passengers the remainder of th,e Journey after a delay of: an hour and a Half. Mr Stephens' loss is a very heavy one, amounting to about £70. The horses were valuable animals, and threo new sets of harness wen? badly hacked aboyb.

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON -MOND> Y.

[Before Me^sra Alfred Harrison and

Kohert Alaorn, J.P.'a

Alleged Peiuury —Jane Mills was charged wibh hiving committed parjuiy while giving evidence on oath in the ca^e brought against Peter Hansen, on April 23, in which Hanson was charged with having usel threatening behaviour and obscene language ac Wfuslow. Mr Purnell appeared for the accused. J. R. Colyer, cieik of the court, certi fied to the case against Peter Hansen having been heard in the court. L.ansen had admitted having used threatening behaviour but denied having used obscene

language. Defendant, Jane Mills, in giving avidence swore that she had never sent a letter to Hansen. The question was asked more than once and defendant was warned to be careful in giving her answer. Hansen was fined for the threatening behaviour and imprisoned for Using obscene language.- Sergeant Moller deposed that ho conducted the case against Peter Hansen, concerning which he gave corroborative evidence. The exact question bad been " Did you send this man any letters at all 1" and she had answered "No." The letter had no bear ing on the accusation against Hansen, the question waa to test the credi bility of the witness,—Peter Hansen, now undergoing a sentences of im prisonment, gave corroborative evi dence of the present defendant's state ments in the case against himself. He had two letters which she had ppnfc to him. The letters produced were written by Mrs Mills. Ores was brought to him by Mrs Mills' daughter and another little girl. He saw her write the other, which she gave to him herself. At the time defendant denied having sent him any letters. The two letters were in his tent. —William Stout, schoolmaster at Win slow school, identified accused's signature on a note prodused. The Sergeant asked witness if the letters wera signed in a similar manner. Mr Purnell objected to anyone escept an expert giving evidence as to the similarity of the signatures,^— Gonatable Jackson deposed that on Mon day last, at the Winslow railway station, defendant said she had written one or two letters to Peter Hansen, and genj; them to him w}th a little gjri. Sh,e then, asi^ed hjm if there would be any more about this >saae. She asked him who had, gob the letters. Witness said he had,, and she said he ought to burn thesn,. Crossrexamiqed by ftlr Pvjrnplk—She had mji to him thg,b notea were not letters ; but she had not explained to him that she considered they were only letters when senc through the post. This concluded the evidence of the prosecution.— Mr Para ell contended that it waa np^eg sary for tfoe ppsociitjop tq prove. t|iat tfye statement was wilfully false, and tprided to mislead ths Court, He laid (■stress on the fact that the assertion d^d not bear fin the case in Court at th§ t;me, and therefore had done net wrong. Ap parently |;he accused had made a mistake, and yet the evidence did not properly prove that the letters were written by her at all. He considered his client had already suffered sufficiently for a missaks which might be made by anypne in the confusion of giving evidence in Court. After half an hour's consideration the Bench decided to give the accused the benefit of the doubt existing in their minds, and dismissed the case. At the same time the police deserved $r&lit for bringing tho matter up, and t^e public should take it as a warning that in, giving evidence on oath they qould not bo too careful.
