Awfully Sudden Death.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.

It was reported ou Saturday evening that Mr Kobtrt Brown, the well-known tally clerk and agent on the wharf, had com mitted suicide, at his residence, situated at the rear of the Old House at Homo, Victoria-street. Mr Browa had been en gaged at his work up to noon on Saturday, when ho discontinued as usual, and he was then in his usual health and spirits. After leaving the wharf he was met by several friends in Queen street and Hobson-street, and he was in the Governor Browne Hotel shortly after 7 o'clock, leaving there with the intention of proceeding home. Nothing of a peculiar character was then observable in his man ner. Not long afterwards Mrs Brown ran to the residence of Detective Bien nan, which is in the same locality, and informed that officer that her husband appeared to bo dying, and that she feared he had poisoned himself. The detective hastened to the house, where he found Mr Brown lying on his bed, apparently in great pain, but still conscious, andable to converse. Being aeked by the detective If he had taken poison Brown exclaimed •' Go away," but wheD further questioned as to whether he had taken anything he replied " beor and whisky." He complained of thimt and some water was administered. Detective Brennan proceeded in search of medical assistance, and on his return found that Mrs Brown had secured the attend ance of Drs Hooper and Dawson. The unfortunate man lingered for only about a quarter of an hour, when ho died. It had been supposed that the deceased was only suffering from the effects of an excess of drink, and this supposition was strengthened by the fact that the medical men could find no trace of poison in the bottles and glasses. A small scrap of paper was found on the table near the bedside on which had been hastily scribbled in pencil, "My wife is a gem ; a beauty. Good-bye. 7.40."

POISON PURCHASED BY DE.

CEASED.

The police have learned in the course of their enquiries that Brown purchased poison at the shop of Mr J. P. King, chemist. A report of the circumstances has been sent to Dr Philson, District Coroner, and an inquest, accompanied with a post mortem examination will no doubt be held. The deceased leaves two sons.

THE INQUEST ON THE BODY.

An inquest was held at noon to- day at tho Empire Hotel, betoro Dr. Philson, Coroner, and a jury of 14, on the body of deceased. Mr Maurice Foley, foreman. The jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was taken :— Carolina Brown, deposed that she was tha ■wife of Robert Brown, who was. a tally clerk on the Qneen-street Wharf. They resided' in Victoria-street; his age was 45; had been married 21 years. He was a healthy man generally; never complained of being ill; he wasgiven to intemperate habits. On returning on Saturday he seemed right enough, lay down on his bed about half-past one, but did not appear to bo ill; he might have had a glass of brandy or so j he went out and returned at 6 o'clock in the evening ; was not drunk ; he was rather cross; he lay down again, but was in no pain. She was speaking to Mrs Banks, a neigh bour, and in 20 minutes returned to the house. On going into the house Mrs Sarah Smith met her, and said Mr Brown had been calling for water. He was thirsty, but she had not given him any. Sho went into the room ; he seemed in great pain. Asked him what he had been taking. He was breathing heavily. He denied that he had taken anything, adding, " If I get over thia I will be a different man; don't go away from me." These were his laßt words. No one was in the room, at least not to her knowledge. She observed a change in his countenance. His body was quite straight, and he shook a good deal. Seemed afraid that she would touch him. His features were distorted. She suspected that he had taken poison; asked him the question. He would not answer, but did not deny that he had taken poison. Be did not vomit. She went and fetched Detective Brennan, who lives next door but one. Ha came in at once. Mr Brown was then in great paid, and expressed a wish to be alone. Detective Brennan thought it was merely drink, and that her husband had not taken poison. Detective Brennan asked if he had taken poison ? Mr Brown replied, "I am not going to tell you." She sent a little boy for Dr Dawson. This was about a-quarter to eight o'clock. He could not come at once. She went herself, aa Mr Brown was getting worse. Found the doctor at home. He came as soon as possible —in about ten minutes after. Her husband seemed to be going fast. He died about half-past eight Ho made no state ment. He was past speaking when Dr. Dawson arrived. Dr. Hooper was sent for at the request of Dr. Dawson. She had no doubt but he died from the effects of poison. He had taken sleeping draughts, and lauda num at times. She found the paper m his handwriting; was sure it was his writing. The paper was handed round to the jury and contained the following words : "My wifeisagem—a beauty. Gocd bye. 7.40 p.m. Saturday." ~ Mrs Brown continued : He brought home the groceries as stated on list which sho gave him. Brought them at dihuer time. To Foreman : He was not drinking last week. Did not notice that he was low spirited ; it was usual for him to lie down after dinner; sent a message to Dr. Dawson to say that Mr Brown was very ill. To a juryman : He had tallied many years for the " Hero ;" he had lost it recently, and with it a considerable part of his income; thought it preyed upon his mind. The Coroner informed the jury tmu Dr. Dawson would not be able to give a satisfactory report until Friday next. The further enquiry was then adjourned until the 3rd proximo, at two o'clock.

Proposed Township at Te Aroha.

(BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT),

GRAHAMSTOWtf, thia day; Three Governors of the Thames High School proceeded to Te Aroha this morning to inspect the pi perty belonging to the Board there, with a view of deciding upon a suitable site to lay off as a township, and to judge as to the best mode of breaking up tho whole reserve for the purpose of an agricultutal scttloiuent in small farms. Already applications have been recoivod for sections of the land on varying terms, and the Governors will place blocks for sale on freehold, leasehold, or under the gold lie Id regulations.

Normanbv JNotes. Tue little township o£ Normanby on tho vergo of tho Waimato Plains, and to tho present the frontier settlement, is having a Town Ball erected after its own largo heart. Iho building will be commodious enough for a place ten times tho size, and accommodation v also provided for n pro posed library and institute. Tho under taking will probably entail considerable loss to the promoters, but tho bare fact that it will considerably eclipse the Town Hull at Hawera, live miles distant and with thrice as many inhabitants, is intensely gratifying to every enterprising and patrio tio Normanby settler. A meeting of those interested in the erec tion of a bridge over the Waingongoro Kiver, on tho road from Normanby to Manaia, the projected township on tho Plains—of which survey pegs are tho ouly present indication,—was held in an empty store on Saturday night, and only one plank and a couple of boxes being avail able, these wero appropriated to the chair man and his supporters, the rest squatting Maori fashion. Members of the Govern ment, when they havo had the misfortune to pass by this way, have been persistently worried and deputntiouised in regard to this work, ■which, in the opinion of the residents hero, is second to none in importance. There is no doubt that the bridge would considerably benefit tho bush settlers, and facilitate the carting of building material on to tho newly-opened land on tho Plains, but as there exists at present a bridge on tho military road within five miles, tho Govern ment have acknowledged the want of a, new bridge, but hardly thought it important enough to sanction the expenditure of public money in the present state of the Kxchcqucr. But the settlers are not inclined to wait till funds get better, and as iron aharpeneth iron, the feast of reason on Saturday night so wrought on the intellects of those present, that ere the meeting separated a wonderful method of obviating the financial difficulties of the caso was propounded and enthusias tically received. It was this—Let all colonists who have a little log to roll mark it well—A resolution was passed inform ing the Government that if they were unable to erect the bridge for awhile, owing to the little public money at their present disposal, the settlers would bo willing to advance tbc money till the next session of Parliament, at current rate of interest, provided tho work be set about at once. " Here is a way out of the difficulty," said the mover of tho resolution, " The Government can't put us off tor want of money now." Someone irreverently suggested that possibly the Government might feel unable to accept this magnanimous offer from their obliga tioa with the bondholders of the last loan, nottocnterthemoneymarketforthree years, but the resolution which so disinterestedly pointed the way of raising the wind in these hard times was almost unanimously carried. The Normanby people are evidently of opinion that Government helps those who help themselves, by lending money at current rates. Possibly the next loan may be floated nearer home—say the Waimate money market. The Bishop of Wellington conducted a service here on Sunday last in the Presby terian church, gracefully lent for tho occa sion. A good number attended. It was curtcntly reported that his Lordship is a fine judge of cattle, and this fact seemed to create a deeper impression among the resi dents in this grazing district than even his Episcopal ability

We subjoin the results of those matches which transpired too lato on Saturday afternoon for insertion in our laat issue :— SACK BACE.—SO YARDS. J. M. Sibbin ... 1 C. E. White 2 K. Biggs, C. Burgess, and W. Baker, also competed in the match, which was provocative of much amusement Sibbin and White jumped away with practised dexterity, while Biggs jumped on his hands and knees, and Baker almost out of his sa^k. Both came to grief, and then Burgess, in endeavouring to put on a spurt, got a spill also. Sibbin distanced White by half a dozen yards. QUARTER-MILE HANDICAP. C. Brown (30 yards) 1 H. Culpan (14yards) ... 2 D. Watson (22 yards) 3 Nine others started. Williams main tained the lead until training the turn into the bottom of the course, when Brown passed him, and held the position unchal lenged, although at one period Watson looked rather dangerous. It was a capital race throughout. 120 Yards Hubdle Handicap. J. M. Sibbin (scratch) 1 W. Sibbin (1 yard) 2 T. tjibbin (owes 3 yards) 3 Culpan, Spry, White, and Forder also competed. J. M. Sibbin took the lead at the half distance, and was never collared. 100 Yards Siamkse Race. C. E. White and J. Sims 1 J. Sibbin and C. Burgess 2 Five pairs started. White and Sims won easily. This race has come to be looked upon as a "moral" for White and what* ever partner he selects. In this kind of competition he is facile princeps. ONE MILE HANDICAP. T..F. Lees (80 yds) 1 D. Waters (ucratch) 2 &. Z. Clayton (90 yards) 3 E. N. B. Forder (100 yards),and T.

He won easily despite a plucky efiort on the part of Waters to reach him. CONSOLATION BACE (150 YDS). G. E. Hidings (scratch) 1 N. Pierce 2 T. Kyan ... 3 Seven started. Hidings won a spirited race by a yard.

Te Aroha Goldfield.

tuY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

GRAHAMSTO WN, this day. ANOTHER GOLD DIBCOVERV. A little excitement was caused at Te Aroha yesterday morning by an announce ment that Woodß and party, of tho Morni ing Star claim on tho Matamata side of the Prospector's claim, had intersect cd a body of quartz on the previous evening. Tho size of the lode has not yet been ascertained, but it is gold bearing, as colours of the precious metal are plainly discernable in the iliah, after pounding up the stone. i ostcrday morning the reef was also found in the adjoining claim to the Morning Light. The owners of both

i claims are jubilant over their discovery, and intend to commence vigorous work on the lode at once. Over forty tents on the flats wero blown down yesterday. 250 MENS' GROUND TAKEN UP. The " Advertiser " publishes a list ol the claims taken up and the nnmes of the claims and owners. There arc thirty-six claims and nearly 250 miners, as each share must be represented by a man.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

FINAL JOTTINGS ABOUT THE OPENING.

Novembor 27. TjiK particulars of tho opening you huvo rocoived ere this by pigeon and {telegram, .md I iiccd not eulargo much on what has already been written. The number of people prcscut on tho opening day could not huvo been much less than a thousand, a great many of whom were uioroly visitors who nrrivvd to aco tho show. Tho bust paying claim on the field that day was Mr O'Hollorau's Hot Hotel, which was crowded to excess, and iv tho evening tho scramble for drinks was somothius after the stylo of tho opon house given by Mr Gallagher when he took charge of tho Thistle Hotol, Queen-streot. Beds could not bo procured for lovo or money. All tho tents were over-crowded, your correspon dent having six in his 8 x 10, aud a num ber of respected Thames citizens, amongst whom was Mr Dodd, solicitor, Mr Ouyon, Mr Farrar, chemist, and Messrs Manning and Pearco secured an uneasy resting place in the empty hold of a cutter that had brought up a cargo of timber, whilst a great many coiled up in the fean. Somo wisely came in a party and brought a tent with them. During the night it rained heavily, and completed the discomforturc of tho unfortunates, who had been unable to Hud shelter. A number of gentlemen from Auckland wero present vifl Hamilton. After a storm there is a lull; and yesterday the excitement having sub sided seemed dull, the majority of our visitors having, at early morn, taken their departure. Mr Brackall, Engi neer to the Hamilton Board, having gone a long distance over the ranges, was over taken on his return by tin dark shroud of night, and had to lay down in tbo wet bush until daylight. Ilia frionds were afraid that ho bad been lost, and a search party was about to start after him when he turned up.

ADJUSTING DISPUTES,

Many of the pegging disputes have been settled. Mr McLaren, Mining Inspector, having conduced largely in bringing about such a desirable consummation. About, fifty men pegged out Messrs Mclntyre, Fergus son, and Frater's ground, which they claimed, and in which is a large reef con taining gold on the north Bide of the pros pectors. The peggcrs claims are quite, yet settled, but I hear that the whole fifty arc to bo taken in as shareholders. Mclntyre's party say that it is. hardly right that they should have equal interests with the dis coveries of the precious metal which they state they have had in hand for this past six weeks. They were, howtvor, greatly to blame when the Warden first arrived on the field that they did not make known and show their discovery, if any, to him. If they had done so, In all probability their interests would have been protected by the Government, for at that time gold had not been seen in the prospectors' reef, although their trial crushing at urahamt>town wa3 payable. A large number of the miners here think that no one had any rights before the field was oponed, and the day before tho opening tho Warden stated as much, although he had previously said, and the Attorney-General had said, that any pros pector finding a payable reef should be pro tected, and this was no doubt said to induce the ground to be to a certain extent proved payable before Te Aroha was proclaimed. Throe different parties pegged into and overlapped the -Auckland and Waikato Prospecting Association ground, which is registorcd tho " United." The area pegged is five acres. The dispute between the parties has not yet been settled, but' it is expected that it will be settled amicably and without resort to law. Tho reef in the United is a fine body of stone, about 3 feet wide, bearing straight tor the | Projectors, and parallel with their specimen reef, which, it is expected, will run through tho United ground. The mine is on the face of the spnr running up from the flat similar to the Golden Crown mine at Grabamstown. Two trial crushings of the reef, about 2401b5. in each parcel, were put through separato batteries at Grahams town ; one parcel; at the Herald, and the other at the Moanataiari. Every care was was taken to secure a genuine test. New blankets were laid over the copper plates ; the stamper boxes well cleaned out, and new stamper beds used. The return from both batteries was about the same, yielding a return at the rate of over J an oz. to the ton ; and the fact of tbe stamper boxes not being cleaned, proved the outcrop of the reef to run at orer tho Joz, the value of the gold being £2 15s per oz. The face of the reef in the tunnel now, is expected to be worth 15dwts. ; the stone improving as driven upon. It is the intention, however, to commence a main tunnel about twenty feet below the present piospecting one. Woods and party's claim—the Morning Star — obtained yesterday good dUh prospects of coarse gold alongside the reef, and expect specimen stone to-day or to-morrow, Manakau Jones and party have pegged next to the Morninf? Star on the line of reef. A number of miners went yesterday morning in search of Dickson's reported new find, some three miles from the township, but, the prospector having suddenly disappeared, it is doubtful whether they will be able to find the spot, even supposing it to be as rich as stated. In all probability Dickson will shortly turn up and explain the mystery. Speaking of Dickson reminds me that Mr Adam Porter has desired me to say that he never promised him a share in the Te Aroha prospectors claim. Nearly all the township allotments have been taken up, and fresh surveys are being made by Mr Purchas so as to enlarge the area of the township. Tunnels are being driven in the spurs, and I hope in a day or two to be able to chronicle fresh discoveries.

SOMETHING ABOUT MENDELS SHON.

IN the recently published "Correspond ence de la Faniille Mendelssohn," among the many interesting scenes and incidents that figure in the animated letters that passed between the illustrious artist and his family, the account he gives to his " dear, good little mother" oi his recep tion by Queen Victoria in 1842, will be read with pleasure by her Majesty's lieges. Prince Aloert had invited Mendelssohn to come to see him at Buckingham Palace, " The only house in London," remarks the "Maestro," "where one is perfectly at one's ease." The Prince having fixed the early hour of 9 in the morning for this.visit, as being less liable to be interrupted, the artist found H.R.H. waiting to receive him with his accustomed affability. Being a proficient on the organ, tho Prince was going throagh some classical favourites with his euest when the Queen came in unannounced, in a morning wrapper, the opening of the door produced a draught, and sent the sheets of music flying in all directions. The Queen thereupon knelt down on the floor, picking up the fallen sheets ; the Prince hastened to help her, and the artist, not to seem to standfng there doing nothing while Royalty was intent on being nseful, knelt down also, so that for a few moments the three were on their knees together gathering up the pieces of muMc that had been blown a\- ay by the opening of the door. Aniouf,' tliese pieces was a fragment from Mendclssson's oratoria, "Paulus." His hosta begged him to place this fraament for them on the organ. The artist did so; the Prince chimed in at the chorus, and the Queen did likewise. " Yon should sing some of Mendelssohn's BODgs," said the Prince to the Queen. "Very willingly,' replied her Majesty, "but the music is in another room ; I will fetch it; 'tis not worth while to ring for any one." And so saying, the Queen went off to find the songs in question, the Prince and the visitor after wards followed her into the family drawing room.

The Mount Eden Fire.

CORONER'S INQDEST,

An investigation into the circumstances under which the recent fire at Mount Eden took place was commenced this afternoon, at the Eden Vine Hotel, before Dr. Philson, District Coroner. Sergeant-Mojor Partly represented the police, and Mr E. Heß keth the United Insurance Association, while Mr E. Cooper appeared for Mr fldwards (the owner of the house), and Mr ames Kusseil for the prisoner, Uwen, It will be remembered that this second, in auiry has been rendered necessary in conse quence of the previous ono having been in validated by the fact of the foreman of the jury being an agent of one of the interested lusuranco Companies. Mr Benjamin Murray was chosen foreman on this occasion. The evidence of Richard J. Owen and William Edwards, as previously given, wiis read over and endorsed by them.

Mrs Annie Edwards, wife of the owner of the house, in answer to Mr Heaketh deposed that sho know it was insured, but was not sure whether for £250 or JE2OC. She had not wanted tbe insur ance increased, nor did she send any one to the iusurance offico for that purpose. Her husband, however, had spoken about in creasing the insurance, and he had got £1 from her for that purpose, which he gavo to Owen. The £1 was afterwards returned to her, Owen saying that the Insurance peoplo would be down in a dny or two uftcr wards to inspect tho house. The pump way removed some time before tho iiro took placo, because it wns in an unsafe state, for no other reason Tho street pump was quite as near tho houso as it was. It was not truo that a few days beforo tho firo sho sent Owen to try and nut £121) moio ou tho building. Tho Insurance agent who did como to iuspect tho building was Mr Reid. Sho heard him say, in conversation with her husbaud, " It isiiwt what I'd do myself." Sho did not think Owen was present. Her husband did not know at that time whether the in suranco on the building was £150 or £200" Mr Reid, however, thought it was £200. and providing this was correct agreed to put another £50 on it. To Mr Kussell : Mr Reid asked her hus band at tho siuno time to insure anothor building in Burleigh, and when her hus band demurred on tho ground of want of means, Mr Reid said that that did not matter—that he could owe tho prico ot the policy.
