BOROUGH COUNCIL.

The statutory annual meeting of the Ashburton Borough Council was held last evening, Present — His Worship the Mayor (Chairman), and Councillors E. J. Paul, Richard Bird, W. H. Collins, H. M. Jones, David Thomas and B. M. Cathbertaon. BALANCE BHEET. The Auditor-General certified to the balance sheet as being correct. The balance sheet was adopted. RESERVES. Messrs Friedlander Bros, wrote agree' iog to the Coancil's proposal for a new lease of the reserve lately occupied by Mr Restell. MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE. It was decided that the Mayor be appointed delegate to the bi-eiinial con ference of the Municipal Association. The Cambridge Borough Council wrote suggesting that the difficulty in the question or contract liability of councillors be pointed out to the members of Parlia ment in the different boroughs. It stated that in the Cambridge Borough there was only one stationer, and he a councillor, and if the smallest item were required they had to send the order a distance of fourteen miles. Or Thomas believed in the £10 limit, but thought that absolute prohibition of a councillor from selling anything to the Council was absurd. A limit was useful in preventing abuse of the principle. The Mayor was instructed to bring the matter before the Conference, and favor a £10 limit. THE AMERICAN SALESMAN. Cr Jones referred to the caße of the American salesman, who by selling by sample without an auctioneer's license had succeeded in evading the law, as a matter to be brought before the Con ference, and his suggestion was agreed to. DANGEROCS BTJIIDING3. l'he same Councillor thought the Coun cil should have the power to order the removal of buildings considered to be dangerous to the town. Cr Thomas thought a motion in such a direction would be a mistake. Tn accor dance with the resolution of a previous meeting Councillors had gone to see a building which seemed to be a nuisance because it might be the cause of some fnture fire, but if a building was there before the town was, it was not just that the Council should have power to cause ifcs removal. They had the power to pre vent the erection of such buildings. Or Paul said he would go further and ask the Mayor to oppose any motion so interfering and arbitrary. THE UNIMPROVED VALUE. Cr Jones asked that the Mayor support the principle of having rates struck on the unimproved value of the land. The Mayor pointed out that the majo rity of the Councillors had previously voted against the soggastion, and he would therefore scarcely be able to advo cate it. Flftß INSUBANOK ASSOCIATION. Or Jones thought that some scheme might be formulated by which corpora* tions could insure their own property. There was £130,000 of improved property in Ashburton, He did not see why Councils should nob reap a handsome dividend from such a source. He merely wished that the Mayor bring up the matter for discussion at the Conference. The Mayor said that under such a system of insurance if the block of which he occupied a portion in East street were burned right out it would swallow up their income for the next twenty years. Or Bird said the matter was before the Council on a previous occasion and had been rejected as a preposterous idea. Cr Thomas also remembered the resulc of its previous consideration. It was one of those Utopian schemes which fre quently fermented in colonial minds. The income of the whole of Ashburton would not keep a twenty-seventh rate insurance company going. Besides if a good borough were behind there would pro bably be more fires. Such a scheme might be very we)l if a capital of £30,000 were available to commence with. A great fuss had been made because the Anglican Synod had a credit balance of £460 over their self-insuring scheme, but if one of their churches were burned down, where would they be ? The Mayor did nob think such a scheme would be workable. The meeting then adjourned.

Treatment of Swiss Drunkards.

The Foreign Office has published a useful paper in the miscellaneous series of reports on subjects of general and commercial interest, giving a translated summary of laws in force in Switzer land regarding the treatment of ine briates. The laws and regulations in tke 22 cantons appear to differ but little from each other in their essential points, and are considered in principle as effective measures against intemper ance. Habitual drunkards are liable to fine and imprisonment, and compul sory confinement in homes or houses of correction; while considerable respon sibility is incurred by publicans who supply strong drinks to children, to those already intoxicated, or to those who are by reason of their intemperance forbidden to enter taverns. The re port for the year 1892 of the Ellikon Home for Inebriates show that for 1891 of those under treatment 37*5 per cent remained abstainers, 325 per cent remained temperate, and 30 per cent relapsed.

Auckland, June 26. j Flags are flying at half-mast at the i French, German and American Consulates in token of respect for the late President Carnot. Wellington, June 25. The following message of condolence haa been sent by the Governor afc the re quest of Ministers, to the French Govern ment through the Marquis of Ripon :— " Government Few Zealand expresses its grief and amazement at shocking crim<* which has deprived French people of be loved and esteemed head of their Re public." ' The principal municipal corporations of New Zealand are sending to Madame Oarnot, through Mr Travers, tho acting French Consul, expressions of sympathy on the murder of her husband, The two Houses of Parliament yester day passed resolutions of indignation at the crime, and sympathy with the French nation. The flag over the offices of the French Consul was flying at half mast yesterday, out of respect to the memory of the late President of the French Republic. With reference to the assassination of the French-President, His Worship the "Mayor of Chrlstchurch and the President of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce waited upon the Hon. E. W. Parker, the Consulax Agent for France, yesterday,

and on behalf of the citizens expres^d their sympathy with Ma lam.) Carnot and the French people in their trouble- The Hon. E. W Parker baa forwarded th? following telegram to the French Vice- Conaul at Wellington :- " Vtce-Consulfor France, Wellington,—The Mayor and citizens of Christchuroh desire to express their deep sympathy with Madame Carnot and the French people in their present trouble, and would like you to convey the same to France by cable."—E. W. Parker, Consular Agent. 25th June, JB9l.

ASSASSINATION OF THE FRENCH PRESIDENT

FBIfiNOH PRESIDENT

[per press association.]

Pakis, Jane 25 The public and private buildings all over France are draped in black, j Santo confesses that he is an Italian Anarchist from Milan, where he has j already been tried and acquitted. The inhabitants ©f Lyons are firing the Italian quarter 01 the city, shouting "We avenge Oarnot." The doctors tried an operation in the hopes of saving President Carnot's life but failed. The Lyons mob, with cries of " Ven geance 1" attacked the Italian Con sulate. ' The American and British Press are unanimous in their indignation at the assassination. June 26. The face of the late President pre sents a peaceful expression. Thß Premier in a letter to the Chamber, says France laments the loss of a loyal servant and an upright citizen, and cherishes his memory. Santo declines to give any explana tion of his motives until the time for his trial arrives. President Cleveland and the Pope have sent messages of condolence. The Emperor of Germany, in his message, says that with all his heart he shares the nation's grief. I An eye witness of the assassination says that M. Oarnot had just ordered ' his escort to fall to the rear "and allow these good people to shake hands." At the same instant Santo advanced. The President smilingly stretched out his hand, whish Santo gripped with his left and drove a Catalan dagger into his body up to the hilt. Upon receipt of the news, the theatres in Paris, Vienna and Rome were closed. M. Casimir Perrier, in the Chamber, announced the death of the President, the members standing up bareheaded. The scene was extremely impressive. The Chamber at once adjourned. The American Congress, after agree ing to a message of condolence, ad journed. The Premier of Italy announced the news in the House with tears. It was decided to drape the Chamber for the remainder of the session, a tribute of respect which has hitherto only been paid to a member of the reigning family. The President's body will be brought to Paris by night in order to avoid inflaming the populanee. It is now stated that his death agony was pro tracted, and President Carnot expired after a terrible struggle to breathe, which caused the wound to re-open. His last words were, " I am grateful, very grateful," referring to the efforts of his friends to save his life. The streets of Lyons were strewn with goods taken from the pillaged residences of Italians. The troops had to be called out to repress the out rages of the mob. The police were compelled to release those arrested to appease the mob, and the incendiary fires have been quenched. / The Italian Consulate at Grenoble was sacked. The mob, failing to effect an entrance by the doors, stormed the windows with the help of ladders. It appears that M, Carnot had daily received threatening letters since the execution of Vaillant. London, June 25 Sir W. Harcourt intends to move that an address be presented to the Queen deploring the murder of Presi dent Carnot, and expressing the abhor en cc of the English nation at the crime, and their sympathy with France. June 26. Parliament did not adjourn in con sequence of President Carnot'a death, as precedents did not permit such a course, though both sides of the House wished to do so. It is expected that the Speaker and a deputation of mem bers will attend the funeral, which will probably take place on Sunday, Rome, June 25 The Italian Chamber of Deputies and the Bourse have been closed, as a mark of sympathy for the President's death. (Received June 27. 10.50 a.m.) Paeis, June 26. The body of President Carnot reached the city at three o'clock this morning, and is lying in the reception room at the Elysee palace The mob attacked the Italian resi dents in Marseilles, and the police were ordered to quell the disturbance. Many French employers are dismissing the Italian workmen. Santo, the assassin, is a journeyman baker. London, June 26. The Prince of Wales, addressing a meeting, expressed sympathy with the Fiench nation in the loss of the President. In the House of Lords the Premier gave notice of a similar motion of con dolence to that moved in the House of Commons by the Chancellor. Sydney, June 27. Messages of condolence have been despatched from the various colonies to the French Government. The flags j were lowered half mast at the various Government offices.
