THE WELLINGTON FIRE.

The Inquest

The inquest on the bodies of HE Greer and George Blandford, the vie ims of the Royal Oak Hotel fire, was opened on J-atur day afternoon. The proceeding* were vatched by Commissioner Tunbridge and Inspector P.- nder. Tha Coroner said that it was propo?ed to take only evidence of identification that uftprnoou, m o-.iier U permit the burial <>f the bodi*B. The inqueßt would then be adj >orned bill next week, when it would practically resolve itself into an exhaustive enquiry m o all the circnm stances surrounding the fire. Mr Greet b fpatures were easily recognisable, but Mr Blandford's were charred beyond recogni tion The identification of both the bodies wm established by various witnesses to the full tatisfaotion of the Coroner. The medioal evidence was to the effect that bo : h men were probably suffocated before tho flrnifs reached their bodies. The hotel cleik said that there was an iron fire-escape leading to tbe ground from each storey m iho building, and every boarder was especially informed of this fact. Mr O'Regan, M. H- X, detailc- J how one of the barmaida raised the alarm, whereupon he and hie companions, who were In the commercial room, proceeded to arouse the other inmate* of the building. The ■moke was so dense, however, that they could not get to the new portion of the buildißg, and m a very few minutes the whole structure wao enveloped m fUraes. As far as witness saw, no one availed them ■elvea of the fire-escapes. The confusiou was bo great that it was impossible to carry out any tyßtem of reacue, and the roaring of the flames and shrieking of the women added to the general disorder. His opinion was that the fire had obtained auoh a strong hold that it was impossible for the brigade, who were promptly on the spot, to do anything. At this stage the inquest was adjourned till next Wednesday.

Wellington, December 12

There was only a moderate attendance at the special general meeting cf shareholders m the Bank of New Zealand this afternoon, for the afternoon, for the purpose of electing two directors under the Act of last session, Mr William Watson and Mr Martin Kennedy, who had given the necessary notice of their candidature, wore unanimously elected. Mr Watson, m returning thanks, said his election by the shareholders was especially gratifying to him at the present time. It might be thought their election was due to the faot that they were the only persons eligible for election, but there were others eligible. Mr Kennedy also expressed his thanks. A vote of want of confidence m them had been passed on them by Parlia ment, but they challenged anyone to show any reason for it. If any reflection could be thrown on them, he felt certain that not one member of the board against whom it was thrown would seek re-election. The in terests of the shareholders and the colony m the Bank should not and did not clash. It was understood that the shareholders were to have a dividend, bat the legislation passed had prevented this. He would be glad to see all the present directors of the Bank re* turned to their positione. They cou'd not get better members. Those who knew 'hem would have to be very critical indeed if they wanted better, but the matter of coime rested with Government, who had practically endorsed the bills of the Hxuk. The colony had pat no money into the Bunk, and all the writings down had been of the money of the shareholders. Were the shareholders io any better position now than they would have been if the Bank had gone into I'quMation ? He thought many of them would have been better off if the Bink lud not been assisted by Governmsnt. It was not the shareholders so much aB the colony generally that bene fited* and many of thosa business people who now attacked the Bank were among those who had benefited.

The practice — which of late has become prevalent — of giving bot fly remedies or ordinary colic drinks, without proper dis- crimination the moment a horse is taken bad cannob be too severely condemned. Many a valuable horse has been sacrificed through the owner not understanding simple symptoms So-called remedies, inimical to life nnder certain conditions, are ad- ministered, with the result that the disorder assumes an acute fcrm, the owner becomes alarmed, but alas !it is often too late. W T Kingston has been wonderfully successful during the late epidemic among horses. Veterinary medicine can be obtained at all hours, either a* his Veterinary Forge, Wills Street, or at his private residence, Grey Stree'e, near High School.
