CRICKET.

♦ ASHBURTON JUNIORS V ST. SAVIOUR'S (SYDENHAM) C.C*

A match between these teams, captained respectively by Rev T. .Love (Sydenham) and F. J. Pritchard, was played on Thurs day afternoon m the Domain, and resulted m a win on the first innings for the local eleven. Some very good play was shown, and the opinion of the veteran cricketers who witnessed the match was very compli mentary to our juniors, some of whom promise to develop into first-class players. For Ashburton, Powell played an excellent innings of 20, and Orr carried out his bat for 30, composed of two four's, two three's, six two's and four singles. The innings closed for the even century. For Sydenham (first innings) T. Love scored 21, and Hoolan 10, none of the rest getting into double figureß. The last wicket fell to a total of 50. Syden ham, following on, put together m the second innings 74, (Hoolan 26, Love 12), time being up before the laßt wicket fell: Mr Clarfcaon umpired for St. Saviour's and Mr D. Thomas for ABhburton. After the match the teams accompanied by a nnmber of members of the Junior Cricket Club and friends, adjourned to St. Stephen's school room, where a capital hot dinner, provided through the liberality of G, A. M. Buckley, Esq., President of the Club, was furnished m excellent atyle by Mra Ranger, the chair and vice-chair being taken by Rev T. A. Hamilton and Rev E. A. Scott. After full justice had been done to the repast, speeohes were made by x Hon. Major Steward, Mr Thomas (Vice-President of the Club), Rev E. A. Scott and Rev T. A Hamilton, m the course of which some good' advice as to crioket and the conduct of cricketers as players and gentlemen was given. Ap preciative reference was made to the liberality of the President, whose name was received with loud cheers, and regret ex pressed for his unavoidable absence through indisposition. Cheers for the respective teams and their captains were heartily given, and the local players then saw their visitors away by train amid a similar demonstration of kindly feeling.

The Brisbane Disaster.

NARRATIVES I<Y SURVIVORS. | Bbisb\nb, February 14 i Tho names of those missing are increas ing hourly, and the greatest difficulty ib I experienced m obtaining a correct list of I the victims. Forty-six were rescued; I The following, m addition to those already J sent, are reporc.d as mist-ing, and it is ' almoec cerrain are drowned : — Harry J Jar man, William Hal), William Lav«rs, Charles Kinder, Joseph Rose, Worthing ton, and O'Sullivan; Mebdames Meeseiiger »nd Best ; Misses Marshall. Gould, Yorston, and somo membois of a family n_m(dO_uk. Peter Dowd, a survivor from the Pearl, states that his attention was first directed to the danger by the fireman of the steamer calling out to the captain some words which sounded like "I thought you'd do it." Then the crash came. Dowd caught the Lncinda's bow sprit, a like feat being accomplished by j six others. Another survivor states that he saw little, owing to the great escape of steam. He thinks many were killed by the bowsprit of the Lucinda. Moran's daughter is safe, and Olibborn is not among the missing. Tho polico are doing their utmost to arrive an a correct list of the missing, but the difficulty is enhanced by the fact that many people, soared by the accident, did not venture to leave the city for their (homes, and thus their friends reported them co tho police as missing . The statement published that twenty one bodies have been recovered was in comes, as up to the present only two have been secured, these of Miss Barnes and Mrs Harper. It is feared that the bulk have been washed down the iiver. A young man named Jarman who is missing had secured a lifebelt, but gave it to his annt, saying *• Save yonrßeif, I'll be all right." McCorkindale, while m the water, saw a friend who was rescued. Ho said, " Good-bye ; I cannot swim. Remember me to my wife." The latter was also on board but was saved. A labourer close by succeeded m saving two others, and getting ashore himself. A passenger by a previous trip alleges that the Pearl then struck the anchor chain of the Lucinda and narrowly escaped capsizing.

The flood water is subsiding and the debris ia cleared from the Victoria bridge, whjch is now believed to be safe. A movement is on foot for the relief of any persons rendered destitute by the accident. Bbisbane, February 15 The captain of the Pearl admitted telling some people after the first trip, when he struck tbe Lucinda'- chain, that he would not rl.k It again ; but when he got n«ar the steamer on the fatal trip he thought he would do so, not realising chat there was any danger. He did not think anyone was scalded, as he was under | water before the steam escaped. As the ! boat sank, someone called out, ' Why j don't you grip hold of something V He replied, ' I don't want arything. lam going down with her.' Almost imme diately afterwards she sank, and he went down with her. A passenger describes the passengers as panic stricken. They had no time to free themselves from the awning of the sinking steamer. The agonised cries of perishing men and women wero appalling, I but only for a moment, for many were carried down with the boat and lo.t sight of, while some few. clinging to the seats of the vessel and other wreckage, drifted j rapidly down stream. Public opinion is exerossd creatly as to the responsibility for the accident; Many think ie was quite needless to close the bridge against foot pass 1 ngers, while others blame the authorities for not arranging a better service. The captain of the Pearl, interviewed, slid there were about sixty pas-jongojs. lie got caught by the flood, and the eddy slewed the steamer, which, refused to answer her helm. He ordered the engineer to go aßtern, but could get no stern way on. When he saw a colli ion was inevitable, he shouto<" to warn the passengers to lock out for themselves. The accident was due to steamers being anchored right m the track of the ferry boat. Although she struck the Lucinda'- j chains on the previous trip, he did not con sider he was running any danger. To have gone round the stern would have caused the loss of too much time.

The following have to be added to the list of missing: — Mesdames Wilson" Harper, Gyomai, and two children Misses Norton, Brand, Percy, and Harris and Hugh Morren, and a boy Jarman, The total drowned is believed to be twenty five. Ib was a pitiful tale which James Wilson had to tell. He was found m a boarding-house, overcome with prlef, on the afternoon of the accident. Mrs Wilson met him on the Queen's wharf, and the couple left m bhe Pearl. Seeing danger when the vessel fouled the anchor chain, Wilson caught hold of his wife and held her. When they found themselves m the water another lady also clung to him, but they were all carried down the stream. Wilson tried all he could to save his wife, but without success, and she sank before his eyes. Mr Justice Real intended crossing by tbe Pearl, but he considered the vessel was overloaded, and did i.ot start,

AN EASY IN TERVIEW

.. » . The way of the interviewer — Hke that of the transgressor — is oftentimes hard, but th s was not the experience of the writer who interviewed Mr John Lawton, of Brunswick Cottage, Brunswick Street, Briabane, Queens land. In fact Mr Lawton seemed willing, even eager, to relate his experience, which we give below m his own words : " Having suffered severely from rheumatism m my legs and feet for many years, being at times for a month together a complete cripple, and un able to put my boots on or walk about the floor, and also having tried Allopathy, Homccopathy, Hydropathy; and goodness knows what other " pathy, ,y I was induced by a friend to try Warner's '* Safe " Remedies and I must say I was very sceptical about it at first. In fact I had begun to think I was doomed to continual suffering for the rest of my life. However, as ''perseverance re moves mountains," so Warner's Safe Rheu matic Cure removed my mountain of misery, and here I am now perfectly free from it, having had for the last five years nothing be yond a gentle reminder, on receipt of which I immediately fly to my *• Safe w and obtain almost instant relief. This being so, I feel it my duty, as well as a great pleasure, to give thiß entirely unsolicited testimonial m the hope that by doing so I may be instru i mental m assisting some other sufferer. 1 '
