BIG COMPENSATION.

Mr J. C. Crawford, owner of land about tto be taken by the Corporation tor a sewage depot, as recommended in Mr Clark's •drainage scheme, demands £40,000, part as value of the land taken, and balance as compensation for injuiry to the value of property in the vicinity. Mr H. Mace, owner of another property adjoining the proposed sewage outfall, has also given notice to the Corporation of his intention to claim for prospective damage to property. Both claims have been referred to the Drainage Committee, and eventually will go to arbitration, when it is anticipated that only a small fraction of these amounts will bej awarded, as the land is barren and practically useless, except for sewage irrig ation.

Already 11 candidates are in the field for the four vacant seats in the municipal elec tions to be held next week. Several leading citizens, to whom large requisitions were sent, have declined to stand for the City Council.

A hard N.W. gale with heavy rain set in yesterday afternoon, and increased towards night, the barometer falling fast.

DUNEDIN, this day,

£600,000 CITY LOAN. The Municipal five per cent, loan of £600,000 was subscribed to the extent of £229,000 over the required amount, at the price already telegraphed. An inquest was held yesterday at Outram on the body of Geo.' Christie, mail con tractor. The evidence showed that deceased had in his possession a quantity of laudanum, which he was in the habit of administering to his horses. Mr Mcßreary gave evidence that the deceased, just before his death, told him he had four ounces of poison. The jury found "that deceased died from the effects of an overdose of laudanum while labouring under a fit of temporary insanity." THE LICENSING BENCH.

The "Star" says the Licensing Bench exceeded its functions in indicating that it would take into consideration the fact of the advertiser of a "sweep" being a lodger In a public-house, when considering that house's application for renewal ot license. The "Star" says :—" Such an arbitrary exercise of power would ensure the recon stitution of the Court upon some more definite basis as to the limits of their pre rogative. The Court and police, alike at present, were really powerless, and only bring contempt upon justice by making these spasmodically futile efforts to scotch what they are unable to kill." SLY GROG SELLING.

At the R.M. Court yesterday, in a claim for beer supplied, it was argued that the brewer could not recover tor beer sold to a person whom he knew purchased it for the purpose of carrying on sly grog trade. His Worship said the principle was of so much importance to a large industry that he would like counsel on both sides to look further into cases.

SEAL FISHING.

A party of seal hunters have just returned from Macquarrie Island, after suffering great privations. Some terrific seas "swept over the island, destroying huts and provisions, and washing away 18 tuns of oil, the labour of a couple of months. For two weeks the party subsisted on goat's flesh and weak coffee. Captain Sinclair, formerly of the Geelong, who was in charge of the party, was seriously wounded by the accidental discharge of a guv.

POLICY APPROVED. A public meeting was held last night on the question of the tariff, when the following resolution, was moved :—"That this meet ing strongly condemns the policy of the present Government in introducing a system taxing local industry as announced by the Honourable Colonial Treasurer, and that the Bill imposing beer tax is most oppres sive and inconsistent with the previously announced policy of the Government to lighten the burdens on the work ing class." The following was moved as an amendment, "That the present Government should not be blamed for the imposition of the beer tax, as it is for the benefit of thewhole population." When the amendment was put there was great contu sion. It was declared to be carried. Mi- Turner then moved, " That the meeting ap prove of the general poiicy of tho Govern ment as set forth by the hon. the Colonial Treasurer in the direction of free trade. Carried. It was a large meeting, THE BANQUET TO-NIGHT. It is said that far more guests have been invited to the banquet to-night than the Provincial Council Chamber can possibly contain.

FREE TEMPLAR ENTERTAINMENT.

The fourth anniversary entertainment andbal in. connection with the Star of Freedom Lodge ■«t Free Templars was held last evening in the Oddfellows' Hall. The weather was unfavour able, but it did not prevent a large number oi Persona being present. The chair was occupied by Mr George Warbnrton, who spoke at some length on the merits of the Order, and of the •good the lodge had been the means of doing. The Orpheus Band, under the direction of Mr Hannkin, performed an overture, after wen Mr Wm,■■■Mackayi the pers3vering secretary, read-.': the annual report, which stated that 159 members had been initiated during the year, that the lodge possessed an excellent library for the use of members, and that their financial position was healthy, with a balance in hand. (Cheers). The following programme was then submitted to the company:— Songs, Must we still meet as S! rangers " Mr spry , "The Lady of the Lea," Miss Gnbble; Mj heart, my heart," Miss Bush; "My Sweetheart, Jane," Mr Evans; "The Letter in the Canale,

and "Tim Flaherty," Mr O'Hara ; "WeParted by the River Side," Mr Spry ; " I cannot come to-night love," Mr Campbell; reading, "Paddys Budget." recitation, "An adventure at Mar gate" (fngoldsby), Mr Alexander Smith ; a dialogue, '" Lochiel's Warning," (Campbell), by Messrs. Devon port and Pitkeithley. The band gave several excellent musical selections during the evening, and concluded with the National Anthem. The entertainment was very cre ditable throughout, Dancing commenced at half-past ten o'clock, and was kept up through the night with much spirit.

THEATRE ROYAL.—"MACBETH."

"Macbeth," another (?em in the gallery of Shakespeare's -wonderful creations, was intro duced last night at the Theatre Royal, and re ceived that satisfactory meed of approbation which such r representation claims, when per formed with that faithfulness which high talent lends to poetic pictures of imagination and fancy. Mr Chaplin deserves pwise for his endeavours to elevate public taste by the introduction of dramas of literary interest and instructive lessons. Mr Chaplin has succeeded eminently in his Shakespearian'leaders, and in each has shown himself master of the situation. The tragedy was well placed, and its stage associa tions were in keeping with the play. Ihe declamatory passages were admirably rendered, chaste, scholarly, and seemly, and entirely free from tho rant which too-freq.nently character ises lowly imitators- Mrs Walter Hill did her best to make an acceptable Lady Macbeth, and it was creditable to the extent of this lady's physical powers, but in those parts, where a calmer mood of mind seems necessary, Mrs Hill was most satisfactory. The story of this weird and terrible drama is too well known by students of the great bard to need an explanation of the plot and surround ings. Some individuals, with a peculiar bias, object even in this age to a study of bhakes peare ; but it is a fact, nevertheless, which every young man may experience, that no reader can rise from a study of Shakespeare s plays without being intellectually improved. The other characters in Macbeth were fairly rendered. As Banquo, Mr Steele succeeded, and displayed much conceptive ability. m e singing of Miss Morgan was justly praised; Mr Musgrave represented Duncan, and Mr Burford Macduff," with credit. These were the principal representatives. Ims evening Bulwer's well-known play of RICHELIEU, or the conspiracy, will be produced by the whole of the company. Mr Chaplin will appear as Richelieu; Mrs Walter Hill, as Julio de Mortemar, and Mr Steele, as De Mauprat. A great treat, therefore, may be anticipated this evening by tho lovers of the drama in itshighor phases. We notice that the performance of to morrow evening will be for the benefit of Mr Chaplin, for which a grand bill is in preparation, and on which occasion Mr Chaplin will make his last public appearance in this city.

Geprgo McCaslin.— Mi- Tyler appeared for plaintiff in both cases, and Mr Keatley for- defendants.—The plain tiff in this case is a veterinary surgeon in Grey-street, and a foreigner, and the claims were for professional services.—The defences were, that plaintiffs charges were over and above the services and medicine rendered. Mr Keatley wished for an ad journment, .in order to produce a profes sional in the same line, who was able to give evidence in favor of his clients. Mr Tyler said he objected to an adjourn ment, as no notice of the same had been given, and Herr Schmiedal was present with an interpreter, and with proof of his claim. —His Worship agreed that the fault was with the defendants, and but for the shipping cases which would most likely occupy the whole day, an adjournment would not be granted. The Court, how ever, had no alternative, as the cases could not possibly be heary to-day.—Adjourned until Thursday next. Mackenzie and Ross v. Alexander ltO bertson—claim, £79 93 4d, damages. Mr Hesketh for plaintiff, and Mr Tyler for de fendant. Coupland& Co. v. A. Robertson—claim, £32 17s damages. Mr Thome for plaintiff, and Mr Tyler for defendant. G W. Binney v.

The particulars of the fi.ist of these cases partly appeared in the Star of Monday evening, and was a claim for grain shipped at Dunedin in July last ior the plaintiffs in Auckland by the brigantine Roderick Dhu. —Counsel for plaintiffs in the two latter cases agreed to accept the evidence given by defendant in the first'case, in order to save the time of the Court—Mr Tyler addressed the Court in defence.— Captain Jones was re-examined, and said he was of opinion that the captain ought to be responsible for apart of the damage, not all.—Cross-examined at length, by Counsel.—Captain Robertson gave evidence £0 the effect that he took every precaution at Dunedin, in case of accident, and had the vessel properly caulked. The vessel had been overhauled, spiked, and caulked since she had been in port, still his opinion was that in such a storm similar damage might occur to cargo under similar circum stances. — Malcolm Darraoh deposed to knowing the Roderick Dhu ; was on board yesterday ; examined the main hatch Care fully ; noticed that the beam had been newly fastened, -but. could not discover the holes of the former fastenings, fresh bolts had evidently been put; in. _ In re fastening theibeam and caulking, it .would nob be necessary to re-caulk the doye tailinc.

Samoan News.

(PER SCHOONER NORVAL),

BY the schooner Norval to-day we have later Samoau papers. The news, however, is not of much interest. The Samoan Government having neg lected to pay the balance of the fine levied by the German Consul, and ratilied by the Native Court, the Consul wrote informing them that if the amount was not paid by Wednesday morning he would hand the matter over-to the captain of the ship of war to be dealt with. This request was nS complied with, and the matter was accordingly handed over to Captain Yon Werner, of the Ariadne, who wrote in forming the Government that he gave them till 10 a.m. on Thursday, the 4th -inst., to settle the matter. Foolishly re ying upon some e>hty men armed and in the boats Sv for action as soon as the final Sections were given by the captain These preparations being observed by the natives and finding that they were nox, ilely to get any help, they sent one of their arty in- hot haste to inform thec^tain that the money was on shore ready. The le«son is considered a salutary one. THE AMERICAN TREATY The Treaty of Friendship entered into be tween the United States and Samoan Kkn einment provides that naval vessels of the Suited States shall have the privilege of ente-in-and using tbe Port oi- Paf>P a S°> and establishing thereof a station fvr coal and other naval supplies or tg^aj^J commercial marine, and the Samoau uoy SnmSit will hereafter neither exercise any

In addition to this, a number, of wealthy gentleman have either left, or are about to leave San Francisco, for the purpose of pur chasing land, whilst some fifteen others are coming from Honolulu, for the purpose of Captain Hassenberg, of the brigantine Matautu, informs us that the sea about the Ellis Group, is literally covered with pummic stone. At Vaitupu it, lies two feet thick upon the reef. Captain Evers, of the brig Isabella, reported that Raitao, and Burraburra, two islands of the Society Group had completely burst up, and that a large numder of people had been drowned.

Murder on the East Coast.

(BY TELEGKAPH.)

WELLINGTON, this day. IN the House yesterday Mr Sheehan announced that on the pievious night a telegram was received by the Government stating that a Maori .woman had been murdered at Waipu- He caused inquiries to be made, and another telegram was received to the effect that a Maori woman had been murdered by two Maon men. The murder not being one of political significance he had given instructions to nave the mur derers arrested. From additional particulars obtained it appears that a number of natives were drinking at a hotel along the Coast kept by a native named Puka, at Waiatutu, near Te Awanui. In the evening when they were returning to their houses nearly all, more or less, intoxicated a native woman who had been overtaken by two men on a lonely part of the read that led up the Waiatutu stream. Here an altercation took place which resulted in the womans death. Telegrams received last night by several natives from that part of the country, at present in Wellington, state that drunken ness and adultery were the cause of the crime. A sergeant and two troopers left Gisborne for Waiatutu to arrest the murderers immediately on recipt of mtelli- Mr Sheehan received the following telegram yesterday concerning the outrage from the Resident Magistrate at Gisborne : —" The murder' of a native woman, after she had been grossly outraged, has been reported by Capt. Porter from. Waipu, to Mr Campbell, who is in Gisborne. He states that he is in charge of the district.- The natives at Waipu are investigating the'affair; but as it it expected that the offenders are men of standing amongst them, they will, probably escape with a light punishment."

INQUEST AT THE ORPHAN HOME.

AN inquest was held this afternoon at St. Stephen's Orphanage, Parnell, before Dr. Philson and a jury, on the body of a little boy, a^ed two years, who had been an in mate of the Home. The evidence showed that the boy, William Clemence, was on Tuesday evening, the 3rd insl., playing with other orphans in the kitchen, when lie fell into a bath containing .very hot water, and was severely scalded on the face, neck, and arms. Pie wasimmediately caught out and received medical and other attention, and appeared to get better under the treatment. He went on very well apparently for thirty hours, when a relapse took place, and the child died. Charles F. GoLUbro' M.D., physician to St. Stephens Orphan Home, deposed to the nature of the iniuries; he applied the necessary remedies, but without avail, as the child was seized with strong convulsions, resulting from the scalding, and died. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."

The Romantic Love Affair.

FURTHER PARTICULARS,

The big round tears Coursed one another down her innocent nose In piteous chase.— Shakespeare.

The innocent victim of the heartless adye n turer whom we termed Adam Iscariot, is a young person of pleasing address, in the ser vice of a gentleman's household in the rural glades of Parnell. Her name is Miss R (j #J and her advertisement in last night's paper "would be seen, desiring to know who informed the STAB of the Romantic love affair which we published on Monday last. Miss R. C . was at first milch pained by the discovery of her lover's unfaithfulness, but was angry at the loss of her money, Avhich as before stated he had gathered from her at the rate of 12s per week, on pretence of banking the same to swell the proposed matrimonial fund, but she felt still more angry on hearing the frightful news that Adam though, courting her up till ten days ago had actually been "MARRIED TWO MONTHS,"

and had nevertheless visited her with un failing regularity; and had taken her money to adorn the person of Miss E. C 's. rival. Adam's wedded wife. The thought is not a pleasant one, that a rival beauty's ears have been adorned with elegant gold earrings bought with hard earned money, or that Mrs Adam's bosom ■is sparkling with some trinket purchased with money earned by Miss R. C —-. and supposed to be carefully deposited in the. Auckland Saving's Bank. The unbounded impudence of Adam is, however, to be-ex posed His amatqrial' performances are to U stayed forthwith for Miss R. C- is go ing to publish in the. papers circulated in the district to which Adam has gone the full particulars of his perfidy,.and let other fair creatures know in time to escape Ins plausible but deceitful schemes. . - •: Since the above was in type we have re ceived the following letter from the girl, who hopes that the Christchurch papers. will copy : — . , <( gj r l_Refening to a romantic love story in one' of your late issues, in which the •' gentleman' in question carefully collected ' Rachel's' wages of 12s per week, with the

understanding that he was to bank the in stalments until the wedding day, but absconded with same. I beg to corroborate the truth of that story, being myself the victim, aud in order that other young girls in Christchurch —whither he has gone— may not, in a similar manner, be thus duped, I desire through you well-circulated paper to make the fact known, that his name is Harris; he drew £5 10s of my wages, courted me for two years, the last two months of which he was actually married, and having told me to give my mistress 'warning.' in order t6 sail with him for Christchurch, he left by the Taupo two days previous.—l am, &c, 'R.

The Accident to a Maori.

Fatal Results. I

The unfortunate Maori fishmonger Hunia, who was run over on Tuesday last by a horse and cart, died, at the Hospital at' seven o'clock last night. <" "It appears that yesterday morning information was brought to the police that he "was in pain in Chancery-street, and a cab was.obtained and he, was forwarded to the Hospital. He complained of a pain'in his side, and Dr Philson pronounced him to.bo danger ously ill. From that time to his;death he sank ■ rapidly! ■• The particulars of the accident appeared in, our Tuesday, evening's issue, but we have since learned that the cart which, ran over tlie Maori belonged to a Freeman's Bay fruiterer and green grocer named William Souter: The horse bolted, and coming round the corner rapidly struck the Maori, throwing him to the ground, and the wheel! of the cart passing over his stomach. The customary chain was fastened to the. wheel at; the time. When Souter reached his cart-it was some distance up the street, and-he drove off without returning to inquire whether or not the man was injured; An inquest will beheld to-mono»v afternoon.

The S. Thomas's Mutual Improvement Society met last evening. An essay on " The Land we live in," delivered by Mr W. Matthews, was very good in substance, wording, and quite a credit to the class. Several gentlemen spoke aud criticised pretty freely. There were also a great mauy ladies"present. We believe that this is about the only society iv which there are lady members.

[advertisement.] TO THE PAKNEIiL RATEPAYER?. (Per favour of the Editor Evening Stab.) Sib,—l desire to explain to the Par noil rat o pnyera my position re Parnoll contract. I took the work £200 cheaper than any other contractor. The work w.13 proceoded with dumiKwet and unchangeable weathei\!iwhich settled fine, after the work was completed. I was caused delay by the Council contemplating to cut the street deeper. I wus not told by th« surveyor he condemned any portion of the work as the job progressed, or I would have had it done afresh. After the work was completed I received notice through the Board that the work was nor, done to! the surveyors satisfaction. lat once waited anon the surveyor to be shown the portion objected to. He refused to show me such portions. I went, to him again and agoiu after wards, but he. would not point out what he con demned. The Board agreed to meet on a certain morning and go in company with tho surveyor over the work. No surveyor appeared, and o£ the Councillors Mr Winks only came up to the scratch. I heard afterwards that the Surveyor had prevented the others coming by stating there wou:d bo no examination of the work as proposed. I respectfully state that I have not in - any way shown contumely or disrespect to the uouncu or any member thereof. In proposing a settlement by arbitration, I do so with a view to close this miserable business, and I can assure the ratepayers that while such a crotchetly and prejudiced man as the purveyor lihs any control over ParneU improvements con tractors will not readily tender for work, and thus indirectly the district will be a sufferer. There is always a certain amount of considera tion due to and from a contractor, but i havo had the experience of the Israelites makintf bricks. The board retaintd £250 of my money for months after the contract was completed. The surveyor considered the work done, but contended that I had finished it three weeks overtime, thus indirectly stating I had finished it three weeks ago. I have been imid all but about £100, and I make this statement in order to place the entire question ot the contract briefly but clearly before the people, asl fear they may bo prejudiced against me, to my iniury. Knowing, as I do, tho influences which public opinion must necessarily have on the minds of Councillors, the constant attempts made by [the surveyor through the Press and in public places to injure my position, is my excuse for thus stating my side of the question, which I respectfully offer to the Parncll rate payers as being the true state of tho case- Yours," &c J. Peach, contractor,
