DROWNING OF CAPT. ROBERTSON.

Capt. Robertson, signal-master at Port Chalmers, was drowned last night on lcnvin» the ship Dunedin. He fell from the gang way into the water, and wus picked up hy a waterman's boat pasting, but all efforts to reimsitate him proved unavailing. The deceased was sixty years old.

DEPUTATIONS TO MR OLIVEK. Mr Oliver yesterday receivod deputations from the Education Board ro the school buildings vote, and tbe Chamber of Com merce re railway tariff. To tbe former he said the allocation was dictated by tho officers of the department. As to votes in future, whilst he would always to tho extent of,his ability sec that Otago was given a fair share, he could hold out no hope the country would vote money at any rate iv the immediate" future as lavishly for edu cation purposes as in tho putt. To tho Chamber of Commerce he replied that the Otago railways cost £700 a-mile more than those of Canterbury. The Department iv fixing rates must be guided by outside competition. The special rates between Dunedin and Oamaru, Timaru and Christ church were lower than they were formerly. £7000 were beiug spent in the Hillside work shops, and only absolutely necessary work, which it was impossible to overtake there, was being sent to Christchurch. He re fused to receive a deputation of artisans because they were subordinates of the department who should complain through he proper channel. INSOLVENCIES. Three insolvencies wero filed this week.

COLE'S CIRCUS.

The large circus pavillion was densely crowded last night, thus demonstrating, if demonstration were needed, the measure of its popularity. Each anil every item on tbe. programme was gone through with perfect skill and dexterity and tlie high sa tisfaction of tho audience was marked at frequent intervals by loud and hearty ap plause. The elephantine peiformance3 with tho puncheon, the various equestrian exercises and manoeuvres, and the Messrs De Comas' fearless bicycle act in mid-air, woro intently watched and applauded to the echo, while the display of agility oil tho horizontal bar by Messrs Dunbar, Camp bell, and tbe Livingstone Brothers, Mdlle. Adelaide and Messrs Wooda Cook, F. Barclay, and A. Vanzandt's exhibition ol horsemanship and the batoutte leaping by the Company were remarkably good and deservedly appreciated. The leaping was brought to a close by Mr Jas. Campbell's tremendous leap over tbe backs of nine ani-nals.including several camels, as well as nn elephant" mounted upon a large barrel. Unfortunately he alighted just on the edgo of the large padded bag upon which the somersault is turned, and, bounding off, he struck ■ the ground heavily. A sympathetic thrill ran through the audience, and a woman in the stalls gave vent to ber feelings by a loud scream of affiight. The acrobat was liromptly assisted to his feet, and was led imping into the inner tent. He did not appear to have been seriously injured. Mdlle. Tonouir's balancing, Mr W. O'Dale Stevens' display as an equilibrist, and Mr O'Dale's equestrianism were successfully gone through as usual, and so also wns tho teetering act by the ponios Beauty; and But terfly. Mr George Conklin likewise re peated his hazardous tricks in the lions' den, and his exit thence was viewed with a feeling ol relief. Tho sido show was largely patronised, and apparently much enjoyed by the crowds which visited it. Tho Italian dwarfs secured a ready salo for their cartes-de-visites, and the "thin" man told his singular tale to an interested auditory. Long before this show was over, the dismantling of the Circus seats had been commenced, and before mid night the caravans of wild animals were on their way to the wharf for embarkation on the Rotomahana. The steamer sailed this morning for Wellington.

DIABOLICAL MURDER AT OPUNAKE.

MISS DOBIE FOUND DEAD IN THE FLAX.

(By TELEGRAPH, OWN CORUICSI'ONDKNr.)

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. Information has just been received from Opunake that Miss Dobie, the sister-in-law to Captain Gotiug, has been found murdered about two miles south of tho Opunake camp. The unfortunate lady went out for a walk during the afternoon, and not return ing as expected a soarcli party was scut to iouk for her, when liar holy was found in tlio (lax with her head severed nearly from her body. i

It is supposed that tho unfortunate girl hint boon ravished, and then murdered. Mr Bullen and the coroner havo proceeded to Opunake to hold an inquest.

MISS DOBIE WAYLAID WHILE

SKETCHING.

Miss Dobio, with hor mother, wore about to proceed to England, and bad been on a visit to her sister, Mrs Goring, at tho Camp at Capo Eginont, where Cap tain Goring is stationed. Sho had been skotching all parts of the country,'nnd even at Parihaka, where she had beon most kindly treated by Te Whiti and tho natives.

Mrs Dobio nnd her daughter had gone to Opunake, and it ia supposed that Miss Dobio had gone to sketch Te Ngamu Bay, whero tbo Lord Worslcy was wrecked, about a mile aud a half from tbe township, whon sho must have been waylaid by a ruffian who had ill-treated and then murdered the poor girl.

I There is great excitement hero over the affair, as the young lady had been ova visit and was woll known to many. Great sympathy is geucrally expressed for tbo mother and sister, FINDING OF THE BODY. ; The body of tho murdered Miss Dobio was found at 9.30 last night. The clothes wero nearly torn off.

A Man Arrested on Suspicion

A man named Walter Stannard has been arrested on tho charge of murdering Misß Dobie Blood was fouud on his clothes,

THE SUSPECTED MAN,

NORMANBY, this day,

Stoddart, who passed through Opuunki a short timo after tlio body of Miss Dobio was diicovered, and who was arrestad on suspicion, owing to the stains of blood on bis clothes, is a horse-breaker at Hawera. It is only fair to slate, however, that Stoddart was injured by a horso he was breaking this week, aud that may account for the blood itaius.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

WELLINGTON, this day. Lieut. Colonel Roberts' Report on tho Occur, onco-

WELLINGTON, this day

A terrible murder occurred a short dis tance from Opunako yesterday afternoon, the victim being Miss Dobio, sister-in-law of Major Goring. Colonel Reader roceived the following telegram at an early hour this morning from Lieut. Colonel Boberts, officer in command of the Constabulary forces on the West Coast. It was dispatched from Opunake at 8.20 o'clock a.m., and runs as follows.—

"Miss Dobie went out for a walk yester day afternoon and was found murdered about a mile and a half north of Opunake, on the main line of road. A man named Walter Stoddart, from Hawera, has been arrested. Blood was found on his bat, clothes, aud one of his boots, which be ex plains was caused by a cut from his horse's nose. A piece of bridlo was found at the placo this morniug, and a pair of ragged moleskin trousers covered with blood abont six feet from where the body wns found. — J; M. Roberts, Lieut.-Colouol."

LATER INTELLIEENCE.

| Later intelligence is that the unfortunate young lady was outraged beforo death. The head was nearly severed from the body. Slie was about 22 years of ogc, and came to the colony recently with her mother and sister. The latter was engaged to Major Goring, to whom she was lately marriod. Mrs and Miss Dobie intended returning to England shortly. Major Goring is a son of Foster Goring, clerk of the Executive Council, and brother of Mrs Walter John ston, witeof the member for Manawatu. The supposed assaisin is believed to bo identilied with a man who obtained an engagement in the Constabulary under false pretences, and was dismissed on the discovery of the fraud, but this is not yet definitely ascer tained. The affair lias created a profound sensa tion In town.

THE LATEST.

HAVVErA, this day,

Miss Dobio went out for a walk towards Te Nnmu, and, not returning, a search party was organised and bonlires lighted along the coast line.

Tbe body was found 40 yards off tbe main road to Te Kamu Pah. Tho throat was cut from car to ear, aud life was extiuct. Tho body presents a dreadful appearance.

Stannard, who has been airested, is said to have Dassed the scene of tbe murder at or about the time. Hone Pehama's daughter saw a horse with saddle, tied at the scene of the murder.

Col. Roberts, Mr Hursthouse, and Hone Paihima have just returned from the scene. They found an old fuddle and a bunch of wild flowers, evidently gathered by the deceased.

Blood was found from ten feet to forty yard s off the road, the ground show traces of a desperate struggle. The scene is with 100 yards of the uninhabited pah, Te Nganuni. Great constcration and syinnathy prevails.

Mr Hursthouse is very energetic in pur suing the enquiry; also Colonel Roberts andllorie Pibama. It is understood here that the wife of a storekeeper at Hawera wiped some blood off Stannard's clothes bo foro he started for Opunake. People here do not think him the culprit. Major .Parris left Hawea for Opunake this morning. Stannard was married by the Registrar early in the week to a Miss Prosser here. The bloodstains on his coat were probably diie to his separating two men fighting at a hotel in Hawera on Tuesday uigbt. Stannard has been horse-breaking near here, but bears a good name and [is a culti vated, superior sort of man, no at all likely to commit such a crime.

Captain Wray, coroner, has gone up,

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF KELLY.

IT will be remembered that Edward Kelly, when at Jerilderie, delivered over to one of the persons he stuck up a document written hy himself, and purporting to give a true narrative of the circumstances which had driven him into crime. This document was handed over to the police. Kelly's narrative is Instructive in many respects as showingjthe vain, boastful character of the man, and his story, as told by himself, should go far to disillusionise those weak minded people who have sought to create a hero out of such pitiful materials. The doenment opeus with a disjointed narrative of his early life, and recites at length in vain-glorious language a struggle he had with Constable Hall when lirst arrested on a charge of howe-stealing. After declaring that several persons bad been con victed of horse-stealing who were innocent, he proceeds with this wild outburst: —" It will pay Government to give those_ people who are suffering in innocence justice and liberty. If uot I will be compelled to show so *ne colonial stratagem which will not only

opon the eyes of the Victorian police an 1 inhabitants but also the whole British army, and no doubt thoy will acknowledge their bounds were lurking at the wrong stump. Fitzpatrick will be the cause of greater slaughter to the Union Jack than St. Patrick was to the snakes and toads in Ireland." The narrative then goes on to deal with the assault alleged to have taken place on Fitzpatrick, and asserts that Williamson, Skillinn and Mrs Kelly were convicted ou false evidence. Complain!; is made of the subsequent conduct of the pnlice lo Kelly's sisters; and, after stating that the police, in search-

ing the house, shoved tho girls in front of them into tho rooms like dogs, so that if any one was there they would shoot the girls first, proceeds :—" But they knew well I was not there, or I would have scattered their blood and brains like rain.

I would have manured the Eleven-milo

I Creek with thero carcases, and yet remein j ber there is not one drop of murderous blood in my veins." Tlio allegation i* then made that in addition to the insults ollered Ito Ned Kelly's sisters, tlie police threatened to shoot the Kelly brothers. Ho goes on— "This sort of cruelty and disgraceful cowardly conduct to my brothers aud sisters certainly made my blood boil, and I don't think there is a man born who would sud'er it ns long ai I did, or allow his blood to get cold while such insults wero unavenged. Aud yet iv every paper that is printed I am called the blackest and coldest blooded murderer ever on record. But if I hear any more of it I will not exactly show them what cold-blooded nun tier is, but wholesale and retail slaugh ter, something ilillorent to shootinir three troopers in self-defence aud robbing a hank." He then give*- the following description of the murder of the police in tho Wombat ranges :—" On the 25th of October I camo on police tracks between Tablctop aud the bogs. I crossed them, and returning in the evening- I came on a different lot oi tracks making for the shingle hut. I went to our camp and told my brother end bis two mates, aud my brother went und found their camp at tbo shingle hut about a mile from my brother's house. Wo saw thoy carried long firearms, and we knew our doom waa scaled if we could not bent thoso beforo Iho others would come, as I knew tlio other party of police would soon join them, and if they came on us at our camp timy would shoot us down like dogs at our work, As we bad only two guns, wo thought it best to try and b.iil those up, take their firearms and am munition and horses, and wc could stand a chance with the rest. We approached tho spring as eloso as we could net to tho camp, as the intervening spaco being clear ground, antl no battery. We saw two men nt the logs. They got up, and one took a double barrel fowling piece, and fetched a horse down and hobbled iiini at the tent. We thought there were more men in the tent asleep, those outside being on sentry. Could have shot those two men without speaking, but not wishing to take their lives we waited. M'lntyre laid tho gun against a stump, and Lonigau sat ou the log. I advanced, my brother keeping MTutyro covered, which ho took to bo Constable Flood ; and had ho uot obeyed my order, or attempted to run for tlio gun, or drawn bis icvolver, he would have beeu shot dead. Bul when I called on them to throw up their hands MTutyre obeyed, and Loni gau rim somo six or seven yards to a battery of logs, instead of bolting behind the one ho was sitting on. Do had just got to the logs, and put his hand up to tako aim, when 1 shot linn that iustaut, or he would have shot mc, as I took him to be Strachau, the mau who said be would uot ask me to stand ;he would shoot mo first like a dog. But it happened to be Lonigau. As soon as I shot Lonigau ho jumped up aud staggered .some distauce from tho logs without his bands raising, aud then fell. Ho surrendered, but too lato. I asked M'iutyro who was in the hut. He icplied, 'No one.' I advauctd and took possession of their two revolvers and fowling-piece, which I loaded with bullets instead of shot. I tioked MTutyro whore his mates were, lie said they had gone down tho creek, and he did not expect them tliatniglit. He asked me was I going to shoot him and his mates '! I told him, 'No; I would Bhoot no man if he gave up his arms and leave the force.' He said the police all knew Fit*! patrick had wronged us, and he intended to leave thetorco as he had bad health and his life was insured, lie told tue he iuteuded goiug home, and that Keuncdj and Scanlan were out looking for our cnunp, aud also about the police, lie told me the New South Wales police had shot a man for for shooting Sergeant Walling. 1 told him if they did tbey shot the wrong mau, and 1 expect your gang cnino to do the same with me. He .said, 'No ; they did not come to shoot mn ; tbey came to apprehend me.' I asked him what they carried. Spencer rillcs and breach-loading lowling-picces, nnd so much ammunition ; tor as tlio police was ouly supposed to carry one revolrer and six catridges in the revolver; but thoy had eighteen rouuds of revolver cartridges each, threo dozen for the fowliug-piece, and twenty-one Spencer rillo cart ridges, and God knows bow many tbey had away with the rifle. This looked as though they meant not only to shoot me, but riddle me ; but I don't know either Kennedy, Scanlan or him, and bad nothing against them. Ho said ho would get them to give up their arms, if I would not shoot them, as I could not blame them for doing konest duty ; but I could not suffer them blowing mo to pieces iv my own native land. S*i they knew Fitzpatrick wronged us, and why not'make it public, and coimct him ? But no, they would rather riddle poor unfortu nates Creole". But they will rue the day when P'itzpatrick got among them. Our two mates came over when they heard the shots tired, but went back again,for fear the police might come to our camp while we wore all away, and manure Bullock Flat with us. On our arrival 1 stopped at the legs, and Dan went back to tbe apt ing, for fear tbe troopers would comein that way. Butl soon heard them coming up the creek. I told M'lutyre to tell them to give up their arms, lie spoke to Kennedy, who was tome dis tance iv frout of Scanlon. He reached for bis revolver and jumped off ou the off hide of his horse, and got behind a tree, wheu I called on lliem to throw up their arms ; and Scanlon, who carried the riflo, slewed his horse round to gallop away, but tbo horso would uot go, and as quick as thought fired at me with the rifle without levelling it aud was in tho act of firing again when I had to shoot him and he fell from his horso. I could have shot them without speaking bnt their lives were no good to me. M'lntyre jumped on Ken nedy's horse, ond 1 allowed him to go, as I did not like to shoot him after ho sur rendered, or I would have, as he was bo tween me and Kennedy ; therefore I could not shoot Kennedy without shooting him first. Kenucdy kept firing from behind the tree. My brother Dan advanced and Kennedy ran. I followed him. He stopped behind another tree and fired again. I shot him in the arm-pit and he dropped his revolver and ran. I lircd again with the gun and he slewed around to surrender. I did not know he had dropped his revolver. The bullet passed through the light side of his chest, aud he could not live, or I would have let him go. Had tbey been my own brothers I could not help shooting them or else let them shoot me, which they would have done bad their bullets boen directed as they intended xliem. But as for hand cuffing to a tree, or cutting his ear off, or brutally treating any of them, is a falsehood. If Kennedy's ear was cut oli'it was not done by me, and none of my mates were near him. A f ter he was shot I put bis cloak over him and left him as well as I could, and were they my own brothers I could not have been more sorry for them, Tbis cannot be called wilful murder, for I was compelled to shoot them or lie down and let them shoot me. It would not be wilful murder if they packed our remains, shattered into a mass of animated gore, to Mansfield ; they would have got great praise and credit as well as promotion. But I am reckoned a horrid brute, because I had not been cowardly enough to lie down for them under such trying circumstancss and insults to my people ; certainly their women and children are to be pitied, but they must remember those men came into tho bush with the inten tion of scatteringpieces of me and my brother all over the bush, and yet they know and ' acknowledge I have been wronged, and my mother and four or fivemenlaggedinnocent; and is my brother and sisters and my mother not to be pitied also, who has no alternative only to put up with the brutal and cowardly conduct of a parcel of big, ugly, fat-necked. wombat-headed, big-bellied, magpie-legged, narrow-hipped, splay-footed sons of Irish bailiffs?" After on incoherent rodomontade directed against the police, he proceeds :—"ls there not big fat-necked uuicoms enough paid to torment and drive me to do things -which I don't wish to do without the public assist ing them ? I havo never interfered with any person unless they deserved it, and yet there are civilians who take firearms against me, for what reason I do not know, unless they want me to turn on them and exterminate them without medi cine. I shall be compelled to make an ex ample of some of them if they cannot find no other employment. If I had robbed and plundered, ravished and murdered every thing I had met—young and old, rich and poor, the public could not do any more than take firearms and assist the police as they have done ; but by the light that shines, pegged on an ant-bed with their bellies opened, their fat taken out and ren dc red and poured down thefr throats boiling hot, will be fool to what pleasure I will give •

some of them ; and any poison aidin«r, or harbouring, or assisting tbe police in any way whatever, or employing any person whom they know to be a detective or a cad, or those who would be so depraved as to take blood-money, will be outlawed, and de clared to bo unlit to be allowedbum.au burial, their property either consumed or confis cated, and them, theirs and all belonging to them exterminated oil the face of the earth. The enemy I cannot catch myself I shall give a payable reward for." After referring to an ollicer of police iv anything but com plimentary terms, lie goes on to say, " I de not call M'lntyre a coward, for I reckou he is as game a man as wears the jacket, as lie had tlie presence of mind to know his posi tion directly ho was spoken to, and only foolishness to disobey. It was cowardice that made Lonigau and tbo others light. It is only foolhardincss to disobey an outlaw, as any policeman, or other man who Jdoes not throw up their arms directly as I call on them knows tho consequence, which is a speedy despatch .to 'kingdom conic.'"

AUCKLAND AMATEUR ATHLETIC CLUB.

The bi-annual sports in connection with the above club will eventuate in the Domain Cricket Ground to-morrow, the lirst event starting punctually at 1.30, and the last at 415 o'clock. The one now under notice is the eighth of theso athletic gatherings which have been held since tho formation of the club, and thoy continue to hold a lirst placo in tho esteem cf all sport-loving people, and deservedly, as the races nro contested honestly by each competitor on hia merits,"tho prizes in all cases aro trjphies; so money has no influence, each trying his utmost to bo first, second, or third, thus conducing to fast timo and good finishes. Tlie prizes are ou view in the window of Mr W. W. Robinson, Tobacconist, Queon street, and for nppearanccand value, far excel any yet given by the club. We notice that for lirst piizes in all tho principle events medals aro to bo given.

I I'-'O Yards Handicap—looks a soft thing for Culpan, with J. Sibbin and Ryan woll up. Failing the Lint two, wo shall place them—Culpan, 1 ; W, Sibbin, 2 j T. bib bin, 3. Half-Milo Handicap,—Lees or Fordcr, Ist; Waters, 2nd; Clayten, well up. In the Public School Boy's Kuco, tho entries aro v«ryfcw,uumberiiigonly 5, and tbo committeo are not likely to give a valuablo prize iv future for this ruco. Such an event ought to draw from 30 to 50 entries, and as it is a handicap, boys should not allow rela tive size to interfere with their entry. 1 shall placo them—A. Culpan, 1; C. Douald, _ ; F. Roche, 3. The Quarter-Mile Iluudicap is the next item on the programme, and, ns Is always tho caso with this Club, will produce the be»t race of tho day. Tho handicapper has brought tho mon woll together, aud tho iiuish is sure to be good. Oil paper tbo pick lies with Fordcr, Culpan, F. 11. Williams, and Watson, though thoro aro several new meu with good starts who might upset auy tip ; still we will pin our faith on Culpan, if ho starts, aud failing him, Fordcr, to supply Ist., and Williams and Wutsou will race for 2nd and 3rd places. Tbo Hurdle 120 yds Handicap is tbo next event, and here again Culpan is let in rather li_ht, nud should have uo dilliculty in win ning should bo decide not to go for the _• mile, while W. Sibbin should get second, The Milo Baco will only have livo starters, and here Wators will have more time to pick up his meu than in the J-niile. Lees is let iv much too light, after bis double wiu iv last Match, iv both these dis tances. Still, it Waters is lit he can catch him, aud Locs ami Fordor will be sccoud aud third. Host Gallagher, of the Thistle Hotel, will supply the creature comforts on the ground, and tho Artillery Band will discourso sweet music in the intervals of the races, iucluil ing Rome choice new pieces lately received from En_laid and the continent, and with lino weather tho Committee should bo grati fied by a large attendance, including num bers of the fair sex to inspire the efforts of our young amateur pedestrians.

THE HOARDING INSTITUTION.

(To Iho Editor.)

Sis,—Will you permit me a small portion of your valuablo space for a word or two iv reply to Bob Puilor. He altogether mis understands and misinterprets what has been said ou the matter. If be thinks the young men want their board and lodging for nothing, or even next to nothing, I believe they arc peifectly willing to de fray tho working expenses of tho wished for institution, only let the place be iixed on aud got in wotking order. Lot your correspondent, thercfoic, cease to be ashamed of his sex on that score. Last evening I saw a letter in yonr journal signed " A.15.' advocating billiards, &C. Now, sir,T think if tbe tastes of all young men were to bo considered there would s»on havo to be a tap-room added, and, this of course, will defeat the end in view, viz., a good aud quiet home, Yours, Sec —A.B., No. 1.
