WELLINGTON, this day.

THE TELEGRAM LIBEL CASE.

Messrs Blundell Bros., proprietors of tho Evening Post," have served a writ for libel upon Mr Gardiner, proprietor of the " Evening Chronicle," the damages being ' fixed at £1,000. The alleged libel arises . out of a statement made in the " Chronicle " accusing the plaintiffs of having _ concocted the cable message from their special London correspondent which announced tin outrage by the Russians on the British Embassy at i-iuschuck. Subsequent cable messages received through Atlantic despatches con firmed the *' Post's" message. _ The case excites considerable interest in journalistic circles. Mr Travers has been retained for the plaintiffs and Mr Stout for defen dant.

NAPIER, this day

Perilous Coach Journey.

The Wellingtoii-Napior passengers by the coach, had a narrow escape during the last trip. ' When the coach from Masterton reached Ekatahuna, a perfect hurricane was blowing, and the trees wore falling in all • directions. There was also a fresb in the river and it was deemed advisable to wait some hours to enable the flood to go down. A little before midnight th', river was crossed, and then further progress was stopped by the road being blocked by trees that had fallen down. Ther* wen. twelve passengers in the coach —eight of them ]adies.° It then took four gentlemen and the coachman from midnight till eleven o'clock next morning to clear the road of obstructions. The passengers of course had nothing to eat, and had to work hard through the night before they could hope to obtftin breakfast. It was impossible to go back to the river behind them, as it had af'ain risen. In consequence of this delay, on arrival at Woodville, th« coach for Kopua having started, the night had to bo spent there." Next morning (yesterday) a start was made, the ladies fortunately romaihiug be hind. Harnessed to the coach were two jaded animals. The final accident occurred. The horses, which were by this time com pletely knocked up, appeared too weak to turn the coach round a corner of the road, and keeping a straight course, deliberately drew the vehicle over the sido. An inside passenger, perceiving the peril of the position, succeeded in jumping out, but not without getting a severe shaking in the effort. Recovering his feet, he looked over the edge and saw the coach,sliding down the precipice. The horses had turned their heads straight for the bottom. Tho earth was very soft, and the animals, borne down by the weight of the coach, had fallen, and their bodies, acting as a sort of drag, pra a vented the vehicle from being dashed to the bottom. Marvellous to relate, _ beyond everybody being severely bruised and shaken, nobody was. much. hurt. The coach pole was broken, and one of the horses seriously injured. Considering that a little above where the accident occurred, a bullock los; its life in making the same descent, the wonder is that some or all of the passengers were not killed. As the other coach at Kopua had been procured, the passengers were taken to the rail way station, reaching town last night, after having been three days on the road from Masterton to Napier.

CITY COUNCIL.—THIS DAY.

The Dicksoa - Anderson Inquiry

A SPECIAL Committee meeting of the City Council was held at 2 o'clock thi* afternoon to consider the complaints made by Coun cillor Dickson against Mr Anderson, the City Surveyor. Present: His Worship the Mayor, H. Brett Esq., Councillors Goldie, Buchanan, Morton, Dickson, Masefield, Isaacs, Fleming, and Waddell. It was agreed that allegations be taken seriatim. Mr Anderson was accommodated with a seat at the table. NAPIEII-STEEET. The complaint was that the retaining wallß at the end of the Napier-street culverts were too thin, no provision bad been made in specification for consolidating the earth and the consequence was thai the first heavy rain had caused continual breaks, which were repaired at the city expemse. That the settlement of the loose •earth forced the retaining wall onwards on the very day Mr Anderson had passed the work, and Mr Dickson had found the wall threa inches off the plumb in eight feet. Mr Anderson's reply was, that the face walls were of equal height with others, but had suffered from heavy rains, the slope of embankment being washed over the face walls. No ordinary walling, newly built, would stand such a strain. Councillor Morton supposed the facts stated by Mr Anderson were admitted by Councillor Dickson. Councillor Dickson said in the first place the end walls werepartially displaced by con solidation of earth before the flood. The cer tificate had been given them. He passed the place and noticed that the wall appeared to be out of plumb. He com plained that the walls were too thin to sup port;the work. Had the earthwork, iuste:< d of being thrown from a great height, been put on in their layers, the expense would not have been increased, and the walls would have stood. They had heard nothing of the proposal to extend the culverts. A discussion having arisen here as to the mode of conducting the inquiry. His Worship said both Councillor Dickson and Mr Anderson would have an oppor tunity of speaking. Councillor Waddel objected to Councillor Dickson expressing further opinions. The inquiry should be limited to the charges. Councillor Dickson said he could swear on oath that he had noticed that the walls were out of the plumb days before the flood, but did not care to say anything about the matter as the certificate had been given for the work He took credit to himself for having effected - the saving of £33, to which Mr Ander son referred, as he had suggested the removal of the culvert. Mr Anderson could have saved money by extending the culvert after it fell down, as a large quantity of earth fell down, about S(X loads, in an adjacent spot, could have beer intihsed.-Had'the earth been consolidated ii the first instance, the flood could not.have affected the walls. Councillor Morton thought the gist of th< whole question lay in the statement of Coun cilror Dickson that the earth had no solidified. He objected to mere opinions. His Worship said Councillor Dickson wai present as a councillor, and was entitled t< express his opinion. Councillor Morton hoped that the in quiry would be limited to specific facts, anc not as to mere questions of detail. Councillor Morton objected to Councillor speaking on each question seriatim. Tb best plan would be to take the statement of Councillor Dickson and Mr Anderson seriatim, Councillors making notes, am speaking afterwards. The other cours would lead :o endless talk. Councillor Goldie proposed, and Coun cillor Masefield seconded, " That the cours propoaed by Councillor Morton b adopted." This was agreed to. Mr Anderson said the walls were injure at the time of the construction of the wall by an avalanche of earth, but the wall wa taken down again and restored. He desire that the evidence of the contractor might h taken: Councillor Dickson was with hii before the work was passed, and made th remark that the wall was a little out of tb plumb, but he (Mr Anderson) said th plumb had been restored. The strain b the flood had been such as to strain th arch, and break the bricks. He believe the water went through the embankmen If the embankment bad been built for 1 yearH the water-iush over the channel i such quantity would have caused tb mischief ; no engineer could prevent it. Councillor Dickson : With any works i constructed. Mr Anderson: However they migl be constructed. The consolidation of en bankments was never done in the colonic Councillor Dickson : I have seenitdoi at Arch Hill. •.„ "Mr Anderson : The loose earth will co; tract. The oast end never moved. It wi the west end which would not stand eve

in dry weather. AJlowance was made for the settlement of the embankmant. He desired that the contractor should be called

iv. The Mayor asked the sense of the Council whether witnesses should be called

Councillor Isaacs said they should fully investigate the matter, if it took ten years. Mr Anderson said if the culverts had been extended there would have been no earth to cover tbcm, and the expense would have been increased by hundreds of pounds. Councillor Dickson said if the culvert were to be extended the earth would not have been thrown away iv Colliugwood street. (The meeting was proceeding when we went to press.)

MAN O' WAR REGATTA.

(PER "STAB" CARRIER PIGEON.)

H.M.S. Conflict, l p.m. The regatta in connection with tho men o' war in harbour, which hnsbeen onthetanis for some time past, eventuated this morning. Tho weathor was the best that could be oesirec! for the occasion, it being beautifully calm at twelve o'clock when the first race started, and a fine breeze blowing for the cutter mcc. Tho regatta was under the patronage of Commodore Hoskins and tho captain of the squadron. The following were the officers chosen for the occasion :— Judge, Captain Murray, H.M.S. Sapphire: Starter, Lieutenant-Commander Masters, H.M,S. Conflict; Committee, Captain Townaend, H.M.S. Nymphe; Lieutenant Burt, l-f.'M.S. Sapphire; Lieutenant Bower, H.M.S. Wol. verine. The starting point was from H.M.S. Conflict. The following were tho various con IST. 8 RACE-SHIPS' GALLEYS—PRTZE £0. ForSthis event, three galleys entored, vi*., Wolverine, Nymphe, and Sapphire. The latter only entered to make up the number, and no thing great was expected from the crew, which had very tittle Spractico. Tho course was from tho Conflict, round the barque Martha, down tho harbour to boatoff Orakei. and back to the Conflict. The boats got well away together, and the Nymphe immediately drew aw«y {from the others. She obtained a slight lead, but this she only maintained till passing tho Railway, when thn Wolverine hauled up. Botti crews were pulling splendidly. They were encoura tod by loud and continued clapping and cheers from the various vessels, and a- lar^e number of persons who had assembled on the wharf. Whenfpa*sinK tho Q.uoen-stieet wharf, the Wolverine was a slight distance ahead, and this lo*d hadjinaterially increased when the MarthaWa* rounded. The Wolverine incrensed her lead all the way down the harbour, and the Sapphire fell some distance behind tho Nymphe. The Wolverine filially won by about 30 fiecpn-.ls, tho Sapphire beimt about a minute behind the Nymphe. The race terminated Wolverine _ Nymphe - Z Sapphire •• .. .. 3 Tho Nymphe's crow admitted they had been fairly beaten, but cay they have not done with the Wolverine yet. 2 p.m. 2nd Rack. — Ship's 'Cutters (pulled by marines). l Jrize £5 10s. Course two miles. Three cutters eamo to the starting point, and again the Sapphire appeared to have ttie heaviest boat. The Nymphe's best bout (Auck land built) was excluded, on account of her being the fasteHt boat in the squadron, and I lie other crews refused to pull against her. The Wolverine got away with a scarcely perceptible lead. Tho bapphirc got a very bad atasr, 'Tho excitement on board tho men-o'-war during the race was intense. When the boats rounded tlio Martha it was seen that the Nymphe wjis ahead, with the Wolverine a little behind, and the Sapphire a good third. Tho raco finally resulted : Nymphe } Wolverine. _ Sapphire , ■• -{ 3rd R^CE.— Snip's Cuttteks (manned by sea men). Prize, £5 10s. Distance, 3i miles. When the boats appeared round the yacht, it was seen that the Nymphe's boat was leading. The excitement was then intense, and th'j cheering was terrific. Tho Sapphire's boat win a long way behind, but this was accounted for by tho heavy cutter which they had. They pulled spleudidly throughout. The Nymphe had a l«ad of about a minute, and this she sustained until the finish. The Wolverine's second boat was about the same distance behind the first boat from the same vessel. After a splendid run down, the race result ed :— Nymphe .. .. •• •• J Wolverine (Ist boat) ■- ■• " Wolverino (2ndboat) .. -.3 Sapphire .. .. •• •• *
