Serious Railway Acci dent

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Dunedin, June 17 A serious railway Accident happened to day at Sawyer's station, where the main north line junctions with the Port Chal mers line. The goods train from Oamaru, due at Dunedin at 3,15. a in, had almost descended the incline, and the driver was easing brakes when a cow was noticed on the line. The engine struck the animal, which was carried along for about 20 yards when the engine was thrown off the line It crashed over the sleepers in a direct line for a hut, where a railway porter was stand ing spellbound. The engine crashed through the shunting line of rails, but this caused it to swerve to the left, but only to swerve to the right again on meeting the main line. The fore part mounted the station platform and crashed into the ladies waiting room, when the boiler became de tached from the bogie. The driver (Fred Symons) and fireman (J Dripper), who had stuck to their posts, crawled out of the wreckage quite unhurt. Behind the en gine were two trucks of sheep, two trucks of potatoes, and some agricultural imple ments. The sheep trucks were smashed to pieces and piled up on top of the tender, the sheep being terribly mangled. The potato trucks were piled up on top of the debris and then toppled over, crashing through a fence and falling into the har bour. Sixty to Beventy sheep were killed or maimed, and a number of others got away. A breakdown train with a crane was sent from Dunedin, and by strenuous work not much inconvenience was caused, the express train for Christchurch getting through 40 minutes late.

AN OBITUARY.

TO THE EDITOR,

Sir,—l .regret that your reporter did not call upon mo before handing' you paragraph about my wife. Mrs Adams came out to Australia iv 1864 and was married to me in 1871, thence we came to New Zealand in 1876. I ask you to give equal publicity to this as to' your statement in last night's issue, as the hitter might in the future be produced to the detriment of my children and be the cause of ligitation when certain property comes to be distributed in which I am presumed to be largely interested, Thanking you in anticipation for your courtesy.—l am, etc,

W. Adams. (Our reporter interviewed a member of Mr Adams'family.) -Ed.

A general meeting of the Ashburton Acclimatisation Society was held last even ing in Devane's Hotel, Mr P. H. Cox in the chair. There was about thirty-seven mem bers present. The businesß of the meeting was mainly devoted to consider alteration of the rules. In connection therewith, the old rules were affirmed with very few alterations.

Rule 3 was altered to the effect that the Committee should consist of seven members instead of'five.

Election of Officers-Rule 4of the new I rules was altered to read.—" That all voting papers have to be initialled by two specially appointed members of committee, and the number of attendances of each commiteee men at meetings held during the year to be given thereon." A new rule, 10, was inserted in regard to licenses available in the|Ashburton Accli matisation District only. It shall be the duty of the Secretary to issue annual licenses, available only in the Ashburton Acclimatisation District, to adults for the Bum of 10s, and to ali boys under 16 years of age for ss, provided it shall not be \obli fatory on the Secretary to issue a license. Tothing in this rule shall affect the licenses as hitherto issued for the Southern Accli matisation District. This rule was carried by a majority of four. Rule 9. —Alteration of Rnles—An impor tant alteration was made in this rule to read as follows:—" Notice of any alteration of any rule, or if any proposed new rule must be given to the Secretary, one month before such alteration or new rule can be submitted to a special or general meeting. That a list of notices of motion be posted to members, together with the notice of the special or general meeting at which they are to be submitted, 21 days before such meeting, and that members be allowed to vote on any motion by proxy, given to any member and handed to the Chairman at or before any such special or general meeting." This rule was carried by a majority of three. |T The forms of proxy are to be the same as in general use..

The remaining ru]

les were left unaltered.

Football.

Rakaia v. Dunsandel.

The above match was played in the Rakaia Domain on Saturday last. The weather being wet, made the ball very greasy, but the ground was in fairly good order. The Dunsandel team being short, Rakaia supplied substitutes, and after a •well contested game, Rakaia won by two tries to nil. Rakaia had the Dunsandel team defending for most of the time. For the Eakaia team, F. Ironside, G. Bruce, W. Harvey, and J. O'Rourke did good service, and the tries were scored by Bruce and W. Harvey. For Dunsandel, P. Boag played a sterling game, Mr R. MeKee acted as referee satisfactorily, and Messrs Shannon and Keeffe acted as touch line judges. The Dunsandel team were entertained at Mr D. Brick's hotel, and afterwards left for home by the express. .
