PORT ALBERT, this day.

INQUEST ON MR BRADBURY'S RE MAINS.

At the inquest on the remains OlMr Win.' Bradbury., storekeeper, of Port Albert, who died suddenly on Thursday, J. Shepherd was coronor. From the evidence- deceased appeared to bo in his usual health at the time of his death. While standing in his storo he fell, and died in a few minutes. Dr Rdss considered the deceased died from heart disease. A verdict of "Lied from natural causes" wag returned, aud a rider was added that the jury are of opinion that Co'nstable-Inger exceeded his duty in caus ing an inquiry without first communicating with the coroner, especially as the coroner resided within a short distance .torn] the place where deceased died, and tho medical man did not refuse a certificate.

WELLINGTON, this day,

I hear that the released Maori prisoners wero very anxious to bo put ashore at Opunaki, instead of being landed at New Plymouth, as they desired to avoid going near Parihaka. This has .been done, the Hincmoa proceeding to Opunaki after call ing at New Plymouth. It is thought probable that Tohu will send for them, and commsLud their attendance at Patihaka, and that they will not, dare to disobey. _ . |; »

RAILWAY RETURNS.

The last four weekly returns show a. con siderable decrease in the number of both first and second class passengers who travel led on tho Wellington to Wnngantti, Napier, Melson, and Amberley to Kingston linos, as compared with the corresponding period of 1879. On Auckland, New Plymouth, and Picton, the lines shew an increase in both classes. Latest returns prepared shew that, of 1,194 miles of rail way open at date, no less than 120 miles, . one-tenth of tho whole, . are absolutely unremunerntiye, being worked at a loss of from 7 to 178 per cent, ou cur rent working expenses, for the whole period of 20 weeks, and unfortunately these lines give worse results during the last four weekly period. The ratio of workipg ex penses to receipt having inoreasQd to 150 per cent, on the Lawrence and. Marton branches, 14! per cent on the Riverton and Otatatau brunches, 215 per cent, on the Westport line, and no less than 975 per cent. on the Shag Point brauch, without tak ing into account the interest on tho cost of construction. The ."Post" remarks iv reference to this return, " That it really would appear highly desirable to '. close most of those Canterbury nnd Otago " political lives " which are being worked at so heavy a cost to tho colony." It also points out that supposing the receipts and proportionate expenditure continued at the same rate to the end of the year the rail way would amount to about £822,000 per annum, and deducting 67 per cent for working expenses, there would bo a net profit of some £272,000 to go towards interest and cost. That would pay the interest on about five and a-holf millions, or about half the total cost of tho railways. In other words the railways are now paying just about 2_s per cent, on their cost, over and above the working expenses, a result which in our opinion U by no moans un satisfactory or discouraging, when all-the, circumstances are taken into consideration. I may add with'reference to the above that I am informed the new rates together with reduction are expected to bring up the railway revenue very close to the estimates, or at auy rate to over£9o0 s OOO.

Fire in Lome-street.

Considkeahle excitement was censed in town this afternoon by the violent ringing of the fire alarms. A considerable crowd of persons quickly congregated in Lome-! street, where it appeared the outbreak had taken place. It- appears that about four o'clock, some persons at t_ie''Pacific Hotel saw smoke issuing from the back-window one of tbe small cottages in that street used by Messrs Garlick aud Cranweli as a work shop. An entrance was'"1 affected, and it was found that the framework and floorings were on fire. A quantity of water was' speedily procured, and the incipient flames; extinguished. Meantime •) the alarm had' been sounded by the city firebells. Thej fire brigade and salvage corps were quickly jin attendance, under Super intendent Hughes and Captain Butler respectively. There was also a number of the police force on tbe ground. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the heat of the sun shining through the glass of the window on the varnish. _N o: persons were on the premises at the time of the ontbreak. Wo were-informed^ that they had been carefully locked up when the workmen left early in the afternoon. The damage done was very slight. Several panes of glass had been broken, and a small portion of the wall, flooring, and frame-work of the window cqarred.

For racing men : There's many... a., slip twixt tho cup and the "tip." At last the worm has turned. At Bega a man named C, Rasmusscn sued a publican named Maldon for £32185, amouut of cheque spent on a "spree" at Maldon's public house at Panbula. Plaintiff said he gave his cheque to Maldon, and five days after wards was told that there was only £ 1 left, for which he received two bottles of grog and 8s to go away.. A set-off was put iv by detendant for the full amount, part for refreshments and part for cash lent. The set-off/was disallowed, only £4. being awarded defendant, for meals and horsefeed. A verdict was given for plaintiff for £28 18s and heavy costs.

The promoters of these pleasant little race meetings are a people peculiarly favoured by the deities to whom is consigned the dircctiou of tho olements. They iuvariably pitch upon a day of extreme geniality, and the repoitcrs have never had the chance of omitting tho uaual "gush" about tho wea ther. Thin afternoon proves no exception to tho rale.. The temptations oll'ercd by the bright and sparkling sunshine, a clear sky, aud a refreshing cool breeze from the S. IS. are quite irresistable, and the conse quence is a large exodus from tbo city and suburbs to Ellerslie. The gathering is there fore more promiscuous nud general in its char acter than one would expect to find on a raco-coursc. Many havo come, as they phrase it,, just for "a breath of fresh air; ' others are intent upon "a quiet flutter;" and one and all evince n lively interest in the probabilities of the various eventa. There has beeu so little raciug, or indeed any kind of competitive sport lately, that tho Hunt Club's meeting has engrossed a coiißidcrablo share ot attention, aud a large number of small bets havo been registered during tho past few days. The "Calcutta" and Derby sweep 3, which have been drawn at several hotels, have also had a tendcucy to increase aud deepen the public interest, while sweepstakes havo boon quite the fashion iv warehouses, banks, and insur- | auce offices. I

Even the ladies appear to havo caught somewhat of tho prevailing wild excitement, for they betray a manifest prediliction for sweeps. There is a motley assemblage of conveyances upon tbe ground, every sort of vohicle from the pretontious equipage of the city geutleman to tho plebeian waggonette of the small grocer being represented, and ihero'is likewiso a good display of eques trians. The,country side has sent a very fair contingent of its youth and beauty. Per cival has been busy eince early morn, and everything appears to bo in apple-pic order. The usual games of chance are present, nnd their owners arc doing a profitable business. This may partly be accounted for by tho slowness of the betting on the first event, for Tion Juau is such a hot favourite that very little can be dono by the " knowing ones."

This is the race of the day, and the largest amount of interest ia focusoed upon it. The courso has beeu altered since last year by tho omission of a vory awkward jump at the top of the hill near tho Triangles, where many a jock has come to grief, and many a raco been decided. Tho horses now jump into the road, instead of curving across a field as hitherto. Butcher Boy went away with the load and in com pany with Greyhound negotiated tho first jump. Don Juan, however, displaced them from the leading position before the next, barrier was reached. On going up the hill the Ghost rah into first place, while Awahou followed hard behind, the othere being still in it. The Ghost and Awahou soon changed places, but immediately after wards their relative positions were as you we re . I)on Juan was being reserved, and bn gaining road he was let out a little, when he at once went up upon the leader's quarters. Butcher Boy also went up, nnd at the last jump comiDg down the hill led the way. The Grand Stand was passed in j the following order :-Don Juan, Butcher; Boy, Ghost, and Awahou. All four horses j are clearing tho hurdles and other jumps in s capital stylo. After passing the Stand, the Don once more gave way to Butcher Boy. On going up the hill The Ghosh threw his rider,, while Don JUan and Awahou went away to the front, and in succession passed Butcher Bay. In his turn the Don gave | way to the Maori who held on his way, with, a good lead. Coming along and down the hill Awahou maintained his place of vantage,; but on entering the straight, Oon Juan improved his,pace, and the last hurdle was taken togethsr. Condition then told, for, the Don came away, and won a splendid race by three lengths. Butcher Boy was a' good third. Betting: Even money on Don Juan; 4 to 1 Aw'ahoa, Butcher Boy, and Ghost; 6 to 1 Greyhound.'

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ONEHUNGA.

Royal Hotel Totally Destroyed.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

ONEHUNGA, this day. Tub Royal Hotel has been burnt to the ground. It cost four thousand pound. It belonged to Mrs George.

Mr Lonbridge's houso on the beach, now occupied by. Mr Roe, caught fire, and the roof was burnt.

Mrs Morrison's house caught fire ahd the roof was destroyed. The furniture was removed much damaged.

No water was available. . He called for assistance from the hands at Roe's Mill. Only a few were present, tho others being away at dinner. The building which was of two stories of wood was dostroyed in half an hour. It was built at a cost of £800. The total cost, with fittings was £1000.

The barman supposes that tho fire was caused by a spark from the chimney of Mr Roe's mill, which is at a great distance. Another theory is that it was caused by a chimney of the hotel igniting tbe shingles. i nly Mrs Weston aud the female servant, Mrs Hunt, wero iv the house. Tho pro prietor William Weston was in Auckland. There was uo iusurauco on the furnitur and stock. Tho latter is valued at £150. About seven pounds' worth was destroyed. Also, between forty and fifty pound iv cash aud sixteen pounds worth of jewellery. MrSj George, tho ownor of tho building, had au iusurauco on the building. The lire spread to the storehouse iichind the property'of tho Lowbridge which,was destroyed. The contents wero a ton of potatoos aud thirty pounds worth of shingles. Tho sparks spread to the roof of a nouso occupied by Mrs Morrison, in Church-street. Tho roof was partially burnt, but through exertions the house was Baveo.'S______ Tho 'office aud dwelliug-houso of six rooms next the storo caught lire ia the roof, but were saved. All the furniture was saved. The damaged portion is the roof. Great credit is due to the. inhabitants for tho strenuous oxeitions to prevent tho spread of the fire. They worked (energeti cally with buokets.

PULPIT SIGNALS.

How AN Ingenious Minister Got Him

sblk Into Trouble.

TaX need of somo means of prompt com munication between the clergyn.au iv tho pulpit and the sexton at the other end of tho church has long been apparent. There are constantly arising contingencies in which itia absolutely necessary that the minister should communicate with the sex ton. For example, tho minister needs a glass of water, or, in the case of Mr Tal mage, a lotion for a sprained log. Ho needs to ask a question of a vestryman, or he tvants to have a waiden walked up or a crying baby removed. In these circum stances the aid of tho sexton is indispon sible ; but as that functionary is at the extrcmo cud of the church, and- is, perhaps, absorbed in watching a pew full of boys who aro on tho point ot breaking into open disorder, his nttention cannot' bo attracted. Many plans have been devised by ingenious ministers to establish com munication with the sextou. The Rev. Mr Corn, a popular Presbyterian minister in the interior of the State,, invented a system of signalling his.sexton which had very marked merit's. He caused a wire to be run from the pulpit to the sexton's pew whero it con nected with a;pair of leather-coated iron lamps «o constructed thai when the wire was pulled the clamps would gently pinch the sexton's leg. The wire ran underneath tho llooring of the mceting-hou.o, and the clamps were concealed under tho soxton's seat, so that no one except the minister and the sexton was aware of the existence of

THE SACBBD TBLKGK,.PH. It was found to work beautifully. When the minister wanted water, he pulled the wire once. Two pulls meant that ho wanted to'speak to the sexton, nnd throe pulls meant " tnrn up the gas." The congrega tion wondered how it happened that the servico went so smoothly, and that the sexton always did [the right thing at the right time, but they were destined to make a painful discovery of the true state of affairs. On the last Sunday in June of this year the sexton brought with him to the morning service his niiddlo-nged maiden aunt, who was paying him a brief visit, aud whose heir ho hoped to be. By some unex plained accident he forgot all about the signal wire, and showed tho aunt into the seat which he ordinarily occupied, and was obliged to take another scat on the opposite side of the isle. Dhcctly behind the aunt sat Deacon Brown, one of the pillars of tho congregation—an aged man of the mo3t un blemished character. The, minister had begun his sermon, and had just finished the exordium and felt thirsty and signalled lor a glass of|water. To his surprise there ;was no answormadc to thcsignal. _ Probably the maiden aunt was more surprised than was the minister, for as soon las she felt the soft pressure of the clamps she started in great alarm, and, turning her head, gave

THK INNOCENT DEACON a look Of indignant virtue. The latter betrayed no sign of guilt, but continued to g_^e steadily at the pulpit with a peaceful and happy expression of face. Presently the minister, thinking tbat tho sexton must have failed to understand the signal, pulled tho wire again. The maiden aunt, with her: cheeks glowing with rage, turned once mote to the placid and unsuspecting deacon and whispered fiercely to him tbat "be had better behave himself or she'd let him know." The good man, thinking that a lunatic was in front of.him, paid no attention to her remark, and in a few more moments was once more wrapped in the sermon. By this time, the minister, becoming extremely thirsty, gave the signal for the soxton to come to the pulpit. What was his terror to see, instead of the sexton, an infuriated maiden aunt rise to her feet and fall upon Deacon Brown with her -umbrella' and an evident purpose of exterminating thdt offensive man. Of course the sexton rushed to the .rescue and dragged his aunt away.1 Though the mystery of the clamps was sub sequently explained to Her,, the explanation only turned her indignation from tbo deacon to tbe minister, who, she raid, ought to be ashamed of.himself, and deserved to bo tarred and feathered. The upshot of the affair was that the sacred telegraph was re moved, and the minister now preaches with out water aud is completely cutoff from his sexton during service. . • . ■ no"
