The Fire at Waimate.

FURTHER PARTICULABS.

TIMARU, November 16,

The "VVaimate fire has been most calama tous, and is still raging, though it is hoped that the change in the severity of the wind and quarter from -which it is blowing will produce a favourable result. Already about £70 000 worth of property has been damaged. According to one statement the conflagra tion was caused by the spread of the fire lighted on Mr Studholme's property, and proceedings are to be taken against him. It is stated that the fire had been burning in the bush for several days, and was fanned by the gale. The Fire Brigade turned out, and a large number of residents in town endeavoured to stop the flames, as though they realised that their all depended upon their success in doing so. As the flames approached the timber mills and the resi dences of the employe's the excitement became great, and surprising energy and exertions wereputforth to arrest the ravages of the devouring element. Only in a few cases were they successful. Ihe scene in the bush was almost indescribable. Wagon loads of furniture, and vehicles containing families of workmen, were seen in all direc tions, whilst the heads of families seemed frantic. The majority of the noble mills— the mainstay of Waimate—the woikmens' residences, and a large amount of household effects, were burnt. Several people were more or less injured, and were admitted to the hospital last night, where they were deploring their sad losses. At the moment ofjwriting, on the railway t/ain opposite Waimate, the northern part of the town is thickly veiled with smoke; and it is impossible to'say where the fire will stop, as everything is very dry. If it goes no farther, Waimate has received a blow from which she will not recover for some time, and liasfsuffered irreparable loss. LATSR.

The whole of the mills, six in number have been destroyed. The Maider bush was saved, the fire having run through it without much damage.

TOTAL LOSS ESTIMATED AT £SO,OOO.

THIRTY-FIVE FAMILIES BURNT

The fire is still burning, but no further damage is apprehended. All the valuable portion of the timber is burnt, together with mills and machinery. Mr Studholme's loss is £40,000 ; Price's) £1,000 ; Darrett's, £8,000; and Rickman's, £4,000. It is esti mated that £80,000 will not cever all the damage, besides cash and mills. Thirty five families are burnt out of hou.se and home. Over £500 is already subscribed at Waimate for the relief of the sufferers. The Mayors of Christchurch, Tirnaru, Oamaru, and Dunedin, are requested to assist and obtain relief. The women and children have been provided with accom modation in the public hall and hospital.

HORRIBLE FIGHT WITH SHARKS.—

FOUR MEN DROWNED.

The Portuguese sailors state that they belonged to the Portuguese ship A merique. One of the two survivors had fallen over board from the ship, and a boat, containing five men, was sent from the vessel to his rescue. They succeeded in picking him up, but on their return towards the ship the boat capsized, and filled with water, afterwards righting. Two of the unfor tunate men were immediately swallowed by sharks, but the remaining four got into the boat, when the sharks still attacked them. Two others were washed away into the sea by the waves, and shared the same fate as their unfnrtunate companions, being in stantly torn to pieces and devoured. The other two succeeded in keeping the sharks ofi by tearing off the bottom boards of the boat, and fighting the sharks with them. They were perfectly nude when rescued, after 50 hours immersion. The boat in which they were picked up was hoisted aboard, and is still to be seen. So per severing were the sharks that even after the castaways were aboard, the sharks followed the ship in great numbers for a long dis tance. On November Stli, during a hard westerly gale, the ship taking much water aboard, the fore-and-aft main deck were flooded. A heavy sea came aboard, wash ing Richard Samuel Cornish overboard. It was impossible to attempt his rescue, owing to the fearful weather.

SHOWING HOW A HEATHEN CHINEE ESCAPED SPOLIATION.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

(From our own Correspondent),

WELLINGTON, this day. A cask of sticking-ap is reported as having taken place a day or two ago on the Hutt Road. It appears that an ex-Chinaman known as Tommy Young was stopped by a man named Alexander McGregor, and told to give up his money. The Chinaman, with the quickness and artfulness of his race, at once transferred all the money he liad (some silver) to an inside coat pocket. He managed to effect this manoeuvre un observed by McGregor, and then, holding up his hands, said that he had no money. According to his statement, McGregor felt in his pockets, and not finding that reward for his enterprise which he anticipated, he severely assaulted the unfortunate China man, whom he knocked down two or three times. The matter will doubtless be further investigated.

Moved by Mr Fleming and seconded by Mr O'Rorke : "That a deputation wait on the Ministry, when in Auckland, in order to have the Immigration Depdc removed to another place."—The Seoretary reported that he had advertised a sale of all the unsold allot ments for the 28th November. Mr A. G. Grant was appointed to conduct the next sale.— Sundry accounts wera passed, and the meeting separated.

The Australian Cricketers.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEIR

RECEPTION.

We are glad to learn that the disgrace of allowing the victorious Australian cricket team to pass through our city without a token of welcome will not fall upon Auckland As soon as the subject was mooted, the desire was univetsally ex pressed that the reception of the returning champions , who have done more to make the colonies celebrated in England than a whole army of immigration agents, should be of the most cordial character. The Town Clerk this morning received the following telegram from the Mayor: " Christchurch, November 18.—P. A. Philips, Town Clerk, Auckland I am sorry at being absent from Auckland on the arrival of the Australian Cricketers. Surely something can be done to give them a warm reception. If money is wanted! Avill give £20 myself. I leave here at 3 o'clock to-day for Wellington.- H. Brktt." There were not, however, wanting :m f*rmy of admirers of the exploits of the Austra lians prepared to give effect to the common feeling. The shortness of the time for pre paration, and the brevity of the stay of the steamer, left but little choice in the manner of the welcome. The follow ing gentlemen, with unlimited power to add to their number, were formed into a general reception committee : —Dr. Camp bell, Messrs F. D Fen ton (District Judge), . D. L. Murdoch, F. Whitaker, J. C. Firth, G. B. Owen, T. Morrin, S. Morriu, Wm. Swanson, M.H.R., G. M. O'Rorke. M.H.R.. J. S. Macfarlane, M.H.R., J. A. Tole, M.H.R., F. M. P. Brookfiold, A. Buckland, H A. Watt, R. C. Bars tow, R.M., S. Kisaliug, J. Lawford, W. Wilson, Joseph L. Wilson, A. G. Horton, T. W. Leys, Thos. Macffarlane, J. B Russell, Thos. Buddie, C. C. McMillan, F. Larkins, B. Tonks, G. Yon der Heyde, J. T. Boylan, T. H. Ivey, J. «. osgrave, J. E. Pounds, C. Burton, E. Isaacs, D. l*athan,L. D. Nathan, Joseph Howard, E. W. Klingender, J. M. Shera, W. Aicken, J. Nolan, S. Jackson, P. A. Philips. Oik"1 of the Ferry steamers has been engaged to : ake the party down the harbour the mou, .jnt the mail flag is hoisted, (if shs arrives in the daytime). And in order that general intimation may be given of this fact, the ship "May Queen," in the stream, will hoist her bunting as soon as the signal is put up at the flagstaff, Mount Victoria, and we hope other vessels in har bour will do likewise. The May Queen will fire guns from the time the mail steamer rounds the North Head. If the steamer arrives before ten o'clock at night, the reception party will go down to the vessel and present an address. If she comes in later than that hoar the address will be presented on the following morning between 9 and 10 o'clock. If in the day time, the programme as above stated will be carried out; the steamer chartered leaving the North Shore Ferry T, Queen-street wharf, as soon as the proximity of the mail steamer is known. Mr Impey's band will play down Queen-street to the wharf, and wait there till the arrival of the vessel. The presentation will take place on board. It is thought very probable that the steamer, although not due till Wednesday, will arrive to-morrow afternoon. As there will be no time for special intimations it is hoped that all who desire to participate in the reception will take note of the above direc tions and go to the appointed rendezvous.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A MONOMANIAC.

RAISING AN AUDIENCE,

On Saturday afternoon an eccentric-looking individual, apparently about 25 years of age, came to our office, and in an abrupt manner requested Insertion of the following singular advertisement, which was copied by the clerk at his dictation :—" The mysterious personage who has been spoken of through the paper recently, will address the Auckland public to-morrow afternoon, at two o'clock, at the foot of Grey-street, near the Fire-bell. Be in time, or else stay away." With a feeling of doubt as to the sanity of the advertiser, the clerk took the advertisement, which was paid for in the ordinary way. Shortly before the time specified in the announcement, the same individual carrying a Bible, prayer-book, and accordeon, mounted the fire-bell, and having taken up a position, waited ior his audience, & As a preliminary, he first divested himself of his hat, and after play ing his tunes as a refresher, stripped off his coat. His waistcoat and boots followed to similar musical accompani ments. In a short time several boys collected round thespot. and the "mysterious personage" opened theproceedings by reading a portion of Scripture. This was followed by one of Moody and Sankey's hymn tunes on the accordeon, and then a short address on the temptations, follies, and sins of this life. The programme was rehearsed several times, to the delight of the juvenile auditory, but without the effect of drawing a sufficient number of sinners to the foot of the firebell. Tho service was then tem porarily closed, while the preacher con sidered the best means of bringing the careless objects of his work to hear the tidings which he was desirous of impart ing to them. A good idea seemed to strike him, and without more ado he seized the ropes attached to the fire-bell rang out a furious alarm, which, as may well be believed, was sufficient to cause considerable excitement, which was not allayed when the alarm was taken up by other bells. Constable Alexander was on duty at the time, and he immediately ran to the spot, and inquired why the bell had been rung. The expectant pre?cher replied in a satisfied tone of voice that God had instructed him to do it. He was instantly ordered to come down by the Constable, but, in reply, he warned the Constable not to touch him, as if he did, he would instantly be struck dead. The Constable, however, was not paralyised by this threat, and he, therefore, proceeded to compel the lunatic to descend, which he did. When the Con stable was about to embrace him, however, he astonished him by mysteriously beckon him to keep off, at the same time, saying not to touch him, as he was the Savieur. This was " too thin" for the constable, and the next instant the man, who was apparently quite insane, was marched off to the lock-up. It was then ascertained that he was a shoemaker, named James Houghane, who arrived in this city from Wellington about six months ago. He was committed to the Lunatic Asylum to-day, on the medical testimony of Drs. Haines and Goldsbro'.

FATHER HENNEBERRY'S MISSION.

The famous Missionary, Rev. Father Henneberry, arrived in Auckland by the Wanaka on Sunday morning and addressed a crowded congregation at St. Patricks Cathedral, at the 11 o'clock Mass. The rev. gentleman said the mis-ion which he intended giving in this city would not open till next Sunday, as the accommodation in the church was altogether inadequate. During the week, however, a large temporary building or marquee would be j erected, and he hoped that at the first sermon there would not be less than 3,000 persons present. He alluded to the numer ous reports spread about his expressed opinions on mixed marriages and other questions; and said there was not a, shadow of truth in the statements made about him. He had, however, to say in justice to the Auckland Press that the Evening Star had treated him in a courteous and manly way. The object of the mission was the revival of faith and moral. He hoped that all present would attend next Sunday, and that each one would bring a couple ot sinners j aiad let each one try and bring the greatest sinner. In Oakland (U.S.), a man went out with a waggon and brought them by the load ; he hoped they imitate|in a measure that man's example. The mission will last fourteen

; days, there being three Masses each day, with sermon, the _first Mass being at an early hour for working people. A monster marquee which will hold 4,000 people is now being erected in Mr Dign&n's paddock, and will be completed within a few days, in time for a great mass meeting on Sunday next. We understand that Father Henne berry, the ''Father Matthew" of the colonies, will shortly commence his cam paign against intemperance, and in this he will deserve the cordial sympathy and aid of all classes in the community. His success in other parts of the colony has been most marked, and has been attended with beneficial results of a permanent character.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"MAN AND WIFE."

There was a moderately good attendance at the Theatre Royal on Saturday evening to witness the first production of Wilkie Collins'" Man and Wife," dramatised by Mr George Darrell. Mrs Danell appeared in her favourite character of Annie Syl vester, the betrayed and deserted governess Her representation of the character was ex ceedingly clever, and she carried the audi ence with her during the performance, and was several times compelled to appear be fore the curtain to bow her acknowledg ments. Mr George Darrell as Geoffrey Delamayne, the betrayer of Miss Sylvester also played extremely well, and his imper sonation of the cowaidly scoundrel was very successful. Helen Detheridge (dumb with the secret of the terrible past) was ably im personated by Mrs Walter Hill, ' who pourtrayed the peculiarities of the "dummy" with truthful and life-like fidelity. Mr J. F. Stcele played extremely well as Arnold Bunkworth, and the same may be said of Mr Musgrave, who appeared as Sir Patrick Lundie. Miss Lily May as Blanche, and Miss Jessie Raymond as Lady Lundie, both appeared to considerable advantage. The vision and murder scene in the last act was very successfully pourtrayed, and was one of the most exciting incidents of the drama.

THIS EVENING, "Man and Wife" will be presented for the second and lust time, so that those desirous of seeing it should not fail to take advau tage of_ the opportunity. " Masks and Faces" is announced for to-morrow night.

JOHN THOMAS, THE PLOUGHMAN.

LAST week a sandy-complexioned young man, giving his name as John Thomas White, called at our office, and desired to have inserted a paragraph stating that he had been left a legacy of £1,000 through the death of his father; stating moreover that his brother and sister had each like wise received a similar amount. Later in the day John Thomas again ran in to the office —this time in great glee—saying, " Good news again ! I have just received a letter from Sydney stating that sister is dead, ?nd brother and me will have her share of moaey between us." "John Thomas" is now in the hands of the police on the charge of obtaining money (£l9) and goods under false pre tences from Mr Clarke, watchmaker. John Thomas is also accused by the police of bearing the name of " Dyson," under which name, and by similar pretences, he is alleged'to havo obtained possession of a farm and other items of property, about IS months ago. John Thomas has large aspira tions, and on the present occasion he has ordered two young bulls, has indulged in horse flesh, saddlery, land and house pro perty. Detectives Jeffrey and Grace ran their man to earth at llowick. John Thomas will, however, have an opportunity of entering into a full explanation ot these little episodes before Mr Barstow, R.M., on Monday next.

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

Ringing the Fire-bell.—A man of respec table appearance was broueht up on a charge of ringing the fire-bell yesterday afternoon.— Prisoner said he would not deny the charge. He certainly did ring the bell. An advertise ment in the Star about the mysterious person age, had reference to him. He intended to have cleared his character from the charge of " mysterious," but when at the fire-bell yester day afternoon, there were only a few boys present. He rang the bell to call the whole of the public together, injustice, not only to him self, but to the community at large.—The case was remanded until two o'clock this afternoon.

A Sad Kxample.—A middle-aged man named John Reed was charged with exposing his person in the Domain.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty.—Elizabeth Cheveis deposed that she was walking in the Domain on Friday last, when prisoner, who was lying by the path-side, wilfully exposed himself. He did not speak.— Prisoner said he had no recollection of the afFair. —The evidence showed that the prisoner waa well-known as a loafer in the Domain, and was in the constant habit of annoying children and females in this offensive way. But persons, from a sense of delicacy, did not like to com plain to the police.—Prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour.

The old Lollie-Man.—George Hesford, a man in years, and in a lamentable condition, was brought up, charged with being a rogue and vagabond, withoutlawful means of support. Prisoner denied the charge, he was a respectable sugar-boiler, formerly of White Chapel, now of Auckland. Detective Grace said the man could earn a good living at Mr Waters', if he chose to work, but he preferred drunkenness and the companion-ship of profligate characters; he was also suspected of being a thief, and he had been seen in the act of stealing meat from the premises of tradesmen. Sergeant-Major Mason said he had frequent complaints about the prisones. On being asked what he had to say for himself, he could only say that he was the best lollie-maker in the city, but, like all clever men, he liked his drops. Three months imprisonment with hard labour.

An OCEAN Bird.—Robert William Abbott pleaded guilty to being on board the ship lona, under suspicious circumstances, and without lawful excuse, on the 16th instant. Prisoner, who had nothing to say, was sentenced to two months imprisonment with hard labour.

On the application of Mr Pardy, the case was remanded for a week.

Lunacy.—The Court sat again at two o'clock this aftereoon, when James Houghane, the in sane person who alarmed the city by ringing the flrebell yesterday, was committed to the Whau Lunatic Asylum on the medical testimony of Drs Haines and Goldsbro':

THE NATIONAL ODD FELLOWS EMBROGLIO.

To the Editor.—Sir. knowing your strict regard for truth we the undersigned beg to correct a statement in your columns of the 16th inst, with regard to the Pioner Lodge No 936, of the NationaljOrder of Odd Fellows. You state the dispute has bee-n happily settled by dispen sation from England empowering No, 2 party to alter their name to Eureka Lodge. We beg to state that such [statement is entirely [untruthful, and we are sorry to say that the dispute is not settled, neither have the No, 2 party been sanctioned by the order as a lodge at all,but the dispensation named is the rightful property of the only Lodge of the Order in New Zealand, which has its place of meeting in the Temper ance Hall Albert street such dispensation along, with other goods being ordered by the person who was then Secretary of the said Pioneer Lodge, but now one of the seceding faction. He having ordered them to his own private address has thereby received them in the unconstitutio nal manner as described byy •■. Trusting you will give publicity to the above and not allow the public to be gulled by such misrepresen tations of truth.—We are, Michael Allen, G.M ; Joseph Dixon, N. G; C. B, Thorne, Secretary.
