THE SUSIMI HHS DEATHS AT HASTINGS. ♦ Press Association — By Electric Telegraph Napier, April 5 In the oase of the twin Tyson children who died so inexplicably, the inquest was re- sumed at Hastings last night At the outset Constable Smith read the following telegram from Mr Skey, government analyst :— " No poison found m the children's exhibits. A repoifc will be sent by Weducßday's train." This announcement was received with very apparent approval by the public. The jury, after a short retirement, returned a verdict that there was no evidence to prove how Francis Milton Moran met his death. Mr and Mrs Tyson were subsequently brought before the Magistrates Court and admitted to bail pending the case being called on to- monow. Lateb. The adjourned inqueat on the bodies of the twins, on the charge of murdering whom Mr and Mrs Tyson are remanded, led to start- ling developments. At the opening of the inquest two doctors gave evidence that one child died from irritant poison, this beiDg diaguosced from the appearance of the stomach and other organp. In the second case, these symptoms were not present. The stomachs of both children were sent to Wellington to be analysed. A telegram from the analyst was read at the adjourned inquest, stating that no poison was found m the exhibits senr. The jury found a unani- mous verdict that there was no evidence to show how the children came to their death. Afterwards the Magistrates were applied to to release Mr and Mrs Tyson on bail, which was granted, the Justices remarking that the result of the inquest practically proved i heir innooence. THE ""AUCKLAND FIRE. »_ Press Association-- By Electric Telegraph Auckland, April 6 At the D S.O. fire inquiry the jnrygave a verdict m return to categorical questions as follows : — That the fire originated at or near the pressing room on the tcp floor and was accidental ; that the firemen attacked the fire m a proper manner, bub the appli- ances were wholly inadequate, and recommended the system of brigade and appliances existing m Christchurch ; further recommended the alarm system m use m Sydney ; and also urged the appointment of a committee of the City Council to inspect the fire brigade station and appliances. It is not m New Zealand alone that overdrafts hamper municipali- ties. It was stated "WIDOWS' CARTS." at the Sydney City Council the other day that the overdraft on the city fund . now amounted to £120,000. The Mayor (Alderman Harris) said he had come to the conclusion that too many persona were employed, and it would be his duty to get rid of the surplus hands. He had inquired how it was that the treets could not be properly cleaned, ai d was informed that the reason was that too many " widows' carts " were employed by the corporation. He had ascertained that of 90 carts employed ly t!*e corporation, 60 belonged to widows. He had also foUDd out that m the case of one of the alleged "widows' carts," both the original owner and his wife had been dead for 40 years. Mr Palmer, the acting town clerk, submitted a statement, which, on the basis of a rate of Is 4d m the JBI, showed that the revenue would amount ♦ o £165,000, and the expenditure to £199,000, leaving a deficiency of =£34,000 odd. It was proposed, with a view of reducing the deficit at the end of tho year, that the rate be increased to Is 6d m the £1, but the increase wrs objected to, and it was pointed out that by applying tho pruning-knife a saving could be effected of from £20,000 to £25,000 annually. The rate was then fixed at Is 4d. SANDEK &c »on.s Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- iou made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at tde Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Glinioa and Universities all over the Giobe. There arc Imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinouß oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRA.CT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as pet information forwarded to ua through th« Ootisul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tato : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics :>f the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald* I'russia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor? of Pu.i macology, at Bon, and Professor Dti Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of do resinous and other substancop, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the •sanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraoti ire to bo classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which -are abandoned lonsr since as an ntemal jdicament. These crude oils, or so called Kucalypti Extracts, are discernible : I By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of rrsine and tennateß. If these crude oilß, so-called eucalypb extracts, are applied by mistake m ewes of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamabions, dysentery, etc., the con. sequences are moßt anpalling.
