Municipal Elections

THE contest between Messrs G. Aickin, J. P. King, J. Grey, and G. Hemus for the honour of representing the East Ward in tho City Council is engaging moro interest, -and enlisting greater feeling than was calculated upon. Tho par tisans of each candidate have been indefatigable in their exertions to' beat up supporters, and vehicles liberally posted with eye-arresting notices have been dashing about tho streets since early morn. Mr Grey appears to base his claim for tho suff rages of tho burgesses upon his professed partiality for " cheap water and a free re croation ground" while Mr Kins? seduc tively advances his expressed preference for afternoon meetings, extension of city boun daries, tramway construction, and local police control, as proofs of his determina tion to prove a valuable leprdacntativo. Mr Aickou and Mr nemus are less communicative. The former gontleman confidently points to his past discharge of the trust confided in him as a guarantee for a satisfactory performance of duty in tho future, while tho latter declares his reiolvo lo bo guided by the principle of securing the greatest good for tho largest possible number of hi« constituents. The buttle is now proceeding wltU intcaaifiu-1 ardour, and so far has been characteiised by thorough geniality and good humour on all a'doFt From tbe ox-pr a dons of opiuion dropped, it is manifest (that the ques tion Jot reverting to night meetings of tho Council is regarded with strong disfavour. Mr King has not taken any very active part in the contest, and he is therefore thought to be out of tho running Tue issue between tho other three is very doubtful,

The election at Parncll is equally stirring. The candidates are :—Messrs Walker, Winks, Uallott, Pettigrew, and savage.

Latest from Afghanistan.

We extract the following intelligence from the "Bombay Gazette," and telegraphic columns of the " Ceylon Observer," to August 4:—

News from Kandahar states that on Shere All (the Governor) ordering his force to retire from Camp Kadanak, towards Ghirishk, on Wednesday mortiing, the infantry deserted in a body, taking guns, arm?, and ammunition, and went olf to wards Zemindawar. The British force crossed the river in pursuit, and overtook them at Shoraki, and completely dispersed them, killing two hundred, and recovering guns and baggage. Shere All's cavalry, numbering over one thousand, and all officers, remained faithful. His treasury also is safe. . From General Gough's camp, near Istalif, it is reported that Mir Butcha and Ut Kheyl, robbers, keep the villagers in a state of alarm, annoying all who send supplien to the British. Robbers wander about in parties of fifty and sixty, keeping well beyond the reach of our cavalry patrols. COST OF THE WAR. Lord Hartington's announcement In the Commons on Monday last, regarding the papers supplied by the Government of India, showing the war expenditure must (the " Pioneer" says) bo interpreted that further revelations have yet to be made. It now appears that the total cost of the war is likely to reach a sum, not of five and a half millions, as represented in tho Budget, and not of ten millions, as indicated by the despatch of May 4, but of about fifteen millions over and abovo coat of frontier railways. It has been ascertained that up to the 31st March, instoad of three and a half millions, as shown by the regular estimates of the Budget statement, the actual outgoings from civil treasuries had amounted to nine and a-half millions Btorling.

ENQUIRY INTO THE WRECK OF THE KAURI, BARGE.

(Before R. C. Baratow, Esq., K. M., and

Captam Prater, Nautical Arseaaor.)

The enquiry into the wreck of the Kauri barsje, a small vessel, number 78.358, which occurred on the Ist September, at Aha Aha Island, near Waihcke, of which vessel George Tupp was master, and William Brown, of Whangaroa, and of tho Auck land Timber Company was owucr, was opened this moruing. Mr Brooktield appeared to conduct the enquiry for Mr Thomas Hill, of tho Cus toms, who expressed his belief.

George Jupp deposed that he was the master of the Kauri, which he called a ketch, but which some termed a barge. She was colonial built; nine months old. Left Port Charles on the Ist inst. about half past two p.m. She was laden with timber shiugles, and other cargo, value £450 ; one passenger. Tho sea was flowing from the east. No lights or buoys on the placo where she struck. Had one compass on board ; sails and ligging all good; about 50 tons weight of cargo. Course of steering, S.S.W. Was on her passajjo to Auckland.

Mr Brookfield read a statement of full particulars, which Captain Jupp said was correct. There wero 12 logs of timber, con taining 30,000 feet; also, 51,000 shiugles. Tho mau at the wheel had the timber in front of him, and had to trust to his look out. Arrived at Cape Colville at 6.30 p.m. Wind began to freshen. Got round the Cape and hauled her up, keeping her against head tide. Kept her on that course until eight o'clock. ijho burst out the centre board case. Altered her to 33° W. Sho made more water than the pump -would throw. The water gained on her. He was at the wheel. One man was at tho pump, and tho other on tho look-out. The weather was tolerably fine. Could ace half a-milc a-hcad at eight o'clock. Weather hazy. Wero then half way across. It then c<ime on thick. Oaught sight of the Tiri tiri light two or threo times, on tho quarter. Kept the samo course with all sails set until she struck. Saw the light about half an-hour before she Btmck. Edward Wilson was thon on the look-out. Ho followed Wilson's directions. Altered tho mizen sheet within a minute beforo she struck. Took the necessary means of saving her. Were all perfectly sober. Had no liquor on board. She was running nearly 10 knots. Had 13 years' experience on the New Zea land coast. Held a master's certificate 10 years, number 2,253, Edward Wilson, ablo seaman, acted as mate on the Kauri. Was on watch most of the time between Port Charles and tho rock. Witness thon described tho state of the weather and other events, in cor roboration of tho testimony of Captain Jupp. Tho Court, having considered tho evi dence, could not find that Captain Tnpp had been guilty of negligence, returned his certificate, and with a few words of caution discharged him,

GEORGE MILNER STEPHEN AND HIS MARVELLOUS CURES.

The reports of cures said to have been made by Mr 3. M. Stephen, of Sydney, by spiritualistic aids had reached this colony before his son's pamphlet placed them iv chronological order. The little brochure which comes to us by post, however, puts them in connected form, and gives various details about Mr Stephen and his family which constitutes interesting, not to say amusing, reading. Mr Stepbeu be came a convert •to Spiritualism, it appears, through seeing and hearing our old friend the redoubtable Thomas Walker. As we know nothing of MrStephenorhis claims to credibility, we think it most prudent to let an authority that is better intormed speak on the subject. We have, therefore, clipped from theSyduey "Bulletin" its rbview of the pamphlet :— "The brochure, then, which contains some fifty-eight pages, is written with the dual object of advertisiugMr MilnerStephcn and of lurtheriug the cause of Spiritualism. It abounds with arguments that are well known, aud with clippings that are delight fully familiar, In short, an ordinarily well read mau might, whilst petusing the little volume, be continually taking oil' his hat in salutation to so many dear old friends. As might have been expected, a very ereat many pages are taken up by reprints of tes timonials, sent to Mr Milncr Stepheu; but what really causes us some surpri.su is that the author, in taking up tho cudgels tor spiritualism, leaves the poor angels out in the cold. jNotv, though such conduct ou the part of Mr Harold Stephen cannot bo considered otherwise than as to the last extent ungalla.it, yet even this blemish is almost forgotten when the admirably lofty style of the pamphlet as a whole is taken into consideration. The opening chapter in particular, vthich treats of Mr Milner Stephen's family and of hispersonal achieve ments is of thrilling interest. The author says : — "As instances of Mr Stephen's versatility of talent it may be mentioned that he is an accomplished lluto player, and an excellent carpenter aud mechanic, of which last he gave proof by the invention of a gold-wash ing machine, which met with much favour from those who understood its working."

Bat the veratility (properly so called) to which the writer so pleasingly alludes by no means ouds here. We are told that—

" He painted portraits of Christian VIII., King of Denmark (for which he was honoured with numerous sittings by his Majesty) the Prhioe of Thurn and Taxis, Prince Ksterhazy, and several other notabilities, from whom he received many compliments and rich gifts." And furthermore, additional passages in the same chapter instruct us as follows : — " Accompanied solely by Henry Inman, afterwards a clergyman in England (who bravely volunteered when a small party of marines placed under the command of Mr Stephen were panic-stricken and halted), he (then Advocate-General of South Austra lia) entered the encampment of 200 armed and excited aborigines, and made prisouer of one of them who had just assassinated a colonist,

" Oa another occasiou, in the night time, when five armed bushrangers had .got pos session of a hut, and threatened to fire upon a party of marines, again placed under his orders, Mr Stephen (to spare lives) halted the marines, and proceeded alone to the hut, whea he prevailed upon tho bush rangera to surrouder to himself, and yield up their arms. " Mr Stephen also personally arrested, in thu night, another armed bushranger, who hod hrod at the Sheriff in his house, and who was thereupon tried and oxecuted. "Jfinall, it may be added that throngh out his life, Mr Stephen has evinced the greatest horror of smoking and drinking, and that he has always been exceedingly temperate in his habits." These passages alone, arc, we contend, worth more than the shilling asku I for the pamphlet, as they prove how easily one may be deceived by appearances. There are en thusiasts, we believe, who profess to descry startling traits of the angelic in Mr Miller Stephen's countenance, and vow that at times a faint halo of curative glory is to be observed encircling his head; but to the best of our knowledge no one has up to this time observed in the learned gentleman's physiog nomy any expression of a bellicose nature. Yet here we have the in contestible evidence of tho great man's son to the effect that under a seem ingly mild demeanour are concealed the soul of a warrior—the heart of a lion. What a pity it is that this intelligence comes upou us so late I Of what inestimable value would Mr Milner's services have been on the battle-field, of Glenrowan ! If his persua sive powers were sufficiently great to cause five bushrangers to " surrender to himself," what would not his inimitable art erf cajollery united to his Bayard-like prowess have effected with the small force of tho Kelly outlaws ? We have now done with extracts, and we trus" we have by this time fully impressed our readers with a sense of Mr Milner Stephen's extraordinary versatility ; and of his son's mainfold literary talenta. Had space permitted, wo should . have been pleased to clip passages of, perhaps, yet more illimitable grandeur than those we have already selected; but wo tnink we have done euough to prove that Mr Harold Stephen's latest production is fully on a par with tho other brilliant works of that illustrous author.

There are captious critics wlo might per haps consider Mr Harold Stephen's pamphlet too long and the genealogical chapter a trifle wearisome; but bo far as we are concerned we feel that if Mr Milner Stephen is the extraordinary versatile genius he is represented by his son to be, a volume the length of Burton's "Anatomy" would be insufficient in affecting his complete im mortalisation. Altogether, we congratulate the son upon having such a father, and we oiler our felicitations to the father upon possessing such a son, and, in the the words of Rip, we hope that they will both "Jive long aud brosber."

An accident occurred to Mr D. Goldie and others when on their way to the Howick Lodge installation last evening. The brake, iv turuiog a comer, ran over a large stone lying on the road, and three of its occupants were thrown violently to the ffl»und. Mr Goldie sustained a severe sprain of tiii wrist, but the others escaped unhurt.

Fire Brigade Presentations.

The presentation of appropriate marks if regard to three prominent member of the Auckland Fire Brigade who are on the evo of tbe retirement from its ranks Was asso ciated last evening with a complimentary supper held in the Working Men's Club. The Mayor presided, while Mr H. Williams (Chairman of the United Insurance Co. As sociation) officiated as croupior. There wero also present: Mr Philips (Town Clerk), Mr Anderson (City Surveyor), Mr Carlaw (in charge of the Waterworks), Captain Leßoy, and Captain Butler (of tho Salvage Corps). Apologies for unavoidable absence from Superintendent Thomson and Dr. Dawson wero read. After the bountiful fare provided had been discussed, and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts duly honoured, Mr Williams gave tho toast of "The Mayor and City Council." In doing so he paid a tribute of praise to His Worship, for his performance of the duties incidental to his high position, hoped that he would be once more re-elected, and concluded by suggest ing tho supply of homes to the Fire Brigade. Tho Mayor in returning thanks for the compliment, referred to tho arrangements which were being made for electric bolls, &c. jMr Philips (Town Clerk) proposed " Tho United Insurance Companies Association," and Mr Williams felici tously replied. The Chairman then said ho had been asked by tho members of tho brigade to perform a very agroc ablo duty to one Of their ollicurs, viz., the presentation of a complimentary address to Mr Knight. Ho was very glad to bo able to do so, as the gentleman had rendered eflicient and faithful service. He saw that the reason for Mr Knight's retiring wns that bo was not so young as ho was. They had all passed tho morning of lifo, and hoped for a bright day, but he trusted it would bo a long time beforo tho " night" came upon him, Tho address which he had to present from tho brigade, and which was prepared by tlie Assistant Town Clerk, Mr Day, was as follows :—"Presented to Mr John Thomas Knight, by tho members of tho Auckland Fire Brigade, for his invalu ablo services rendered as fireman and fore man, and we have much pleasure in bearing testimony to his ability, urbanity of manner, and punctuality of attendance on till occasions where the services of the brigado have been required,—Signed on behalf of tho brigado, John Hughes (Superinten dent), John Harloy, John Clark (foreman), Charles H. Brown (secretary}." [Tho address was very neatly engrossed in deed.] His Worship then presented _Mr Knight with a framed card, constituting him a life member of tho brigado, as well as a massive cable albert chain with a medal attache!, on one side of which was a fire man's helmet and crossed branches. On tho other sido was tho inscription—" Pre sented to Foreman John Knight by tho Auckland Firo Brigade, as a mark of esteem on his retiring, 1880."—Mr Knight in returning thanks said that ho accepted the presentation as a proof that ho had not laboured in vain, and it would be to him a lasting memento that he had done his duty. He had boen io\v sixteen years in tho business of fire extinction, and tho Auckland brigade was tho sixth he had been connected with, but he had met no other brigade liko it. Ho had been called tho father of it. Their meeting to-night was then a proof that his sons were pleased with his conduct, and ho was pleased with the conduct of his sons. He would never forget their kindness, and if ever he could render the brigado as sistance, it would bo heartily given. The Mayor, on behalf of the Brigade, then presented Foreman Ansell and Foreman Duggau with seal rings and life-member cards. The shields on tho riugs bore the initials of tho recipients, and on the inside "Presented by A.F.B. as a mark of esteem." Tho remaining toasts were :—" The Firo Brigado," proposed by tho Chairman, and responded to by Superintendent Hughes; "The Salvage Corps," proposed by Mr Knight, and responded to by Captain Butler; " The Naval Brigade, coupled with the name of Captain Leßoy," pro posed by Superintendent Hughes, and responded to by Captain Lelioy ; "Tho Press," and " Tho Caterer." A period of conviviality then ensued.

How the Ship Mathilde Foundered in Mid-Ocean.

THK MATH'S THRILLING TALE,—A HEROIC

WOMAM,

Tiik stcamctiNewbcrn nrrivod at San Fra ncisco on Friday from Mazatlan, having on board a part of the crew of tho foundered lumber ship Mathildc, tbo first mate and seven of the hands. These rescued mari ners relate a tale which graphically illus trates the perils of them that go down to the huh in ships. The Mathildc, commanded by Captain K. 11. Jones, sailed from Esqui malt, Vancouver's Island, on June 3,1880, for Callao, with a cargo ot 600,000 feet of lumber. She had on board seventeen people, among them tho Captain's young bride, an interesting girl 19 years of age, from Fort Ludlow, H.Y., to whom he was married a day or two before the ship sailed, and who volunteered to brave the long voyage with him rather than bo separated from him during the honeymoon. The run down was a successful ono for the first 18 days. ' IN THE TEETH OP THE TEMPBST. On Monday, June 21st, she encountered strong NNW gales, which rose and set, running a heavy sea. At midnight the gale had become a hurricane, accompanied with tremendous hail squalls, the ship Btraining, creaking, and moaning like a despairing sensate thing on tho rack of the elemental rage. It was a night of horror and suspense, the hurri cane raving around, hurling the sea against and over the doomed vessel with destructive force, tho peltiDg hailstones pouring down like volleys of grape from masked batteries in the brooding clouds, the inky darkness and the horrible pitching and tossing of the frail vessel on the angry Bea, which leaped and fretted for its prey— and still the elemental rage rose higher and I fiercer every moment. It tore the staysail from the bolt-rope ; it wrenched the creak ing ship in every joint so that the water began to pour in at every opening seam. " All hands to tho main pump " waa the order passed. THE CAPTAIN'S HEROIC WIFB. The men, clinging to what support they could get, made their was as rapidly as they could for the rolling of the ship to tho pumps and set to work for their lives. The Captain's young wife wad there as quick as any, and stood to the work in that dread ful hour, cheering on tbo men with brave words of hope and incite ment. Even when tho water roeo to her neck, she was still at her post, heroic, un daunted. The ravages ot the hurricane continued increasing in fury hour after hour. In tho language of the mate, " The sea was running from all points of tho con> pass." At 3.30 in the morning a heavy sea broke over the jib-boom,carrying it away and the fore-topgallant mast with it; twenty minutes later tho fore-topmast went by the board, carryiug away the main-topgallant mast. In the rage of the tempest it was impossible to cut away tho wreck of the rigging. An hour later the foremast went over, carrying tho topmast and mizzen-top gallant mast. At 5.30 the mainmast settled, slacking tho stay of the mizzen-top mast, which then went over the side. Amid this scene of destruction the crew could do nothing but stand to the pumps, but despite their desperate efforts the water stole upon them, the spars having sprung some of the pladks on the lee side, giving the sea fresh ingres.s THE HURRICANE VICTORIOUS. About 8 o'clock they succeeded in cutting clear moat of tho rigging wreck, but could not stay the encroaching water in the hold. At 11 o'clock there was 11 feet of it. Then the mainmast became unstepped and sank through the bottom of the vessel. Still her devoted crew would not forsake her. They quit pumping, lashed the after-house to the rail and ringbolts, being nearly all afloat, and took oil' the hatch to prevent the rising water in the hold from compressing the im prisoned air into bursting the deck. At half-past 11 the hold was full of water, but hope dawned upon them in tho discovery that the gale was moderating, ODly to be dashed a few moments later as the sea struck the rudder, tore it from its fastenings and carried it away, leaving the ship un manageable. Then tho crew gave up their brave baltle for their ship, but finding that the sea was going dow h and that they were all exhausted, they concluded to stay with the wreck till morning. THE SHIP ABANDONED. The next morning finding the ship break ing up they began preparations for abandon ing her. The boats were got out and one waa loaded with provisions and water w At noon they took an observation and found, says tho mate, " that we were in latitude 15 dcg. and 9 mm. north, longitude 113 deg. and 20 mm. west. At 4 p.m. boats all ready. Iron lifeboat in charge of the Captain. Second boat—George S tee yes, Mate*- Third boat—Thomas Ward, and as much stores as we could get into her with safety. At 6.30 p.m. we left the ship, the Captain's and mate's boats towing the third boat, steering rothwpft for Clarion island, distance off, | aovjut ob'S uiiicS;■ heavy sea still running." J They continued working up towards the

island under sail and oar nntil 4 o clock oi Sunday afternoon, when a hailstorm cam upon them, followed by a hurricane whicl drove them back about 60 miles. A 'i'ANTAUTS ISLK. They resumed their way tho next morn ing, " the crew behaving well on short al lowance of water and food," says the mate and finally, on Wednesday, June 30. sightei Clarion Island, about 50 miles distant. Tin island and the elements played a Tantala game with them in a most distracting way For a whole day they pulled around, looking for a place to laud, but could find none safi enough to warrant the venture, and lay of the island all night. The next day thej effected a landing, but could find no watei on the island. After two hours' search they came off, deciding to bear away for th< island of Sorocco, 216 miles distant. The} left on Clarion two pigs and two St. Ber nard dogs, (because they could not spart water for them. The latter were great pets, and the men parted with them reluctantly. The poor brutes swam out, follow ing the boats for three miles, bul were left to their fate and were last seen headed back for the island. The boats held on their way in company, [the crow in stout heart, although suffering severely with heat and thirst. Sighting Sorocco the next day, forty milee away, the maie, in view of the uncertainty of finding water there, concluded to run. for the mainland, 3GB miles distant, THE SPORT OF THE OYCLONK. "The Captain's wife is standing it well and cheering us men," says the mate in his lo£. On the utyht of July Cth they were gladdcucd by a sight of Sorocco, island, but fate had not yet uouo sporting with their hopes. That night a gale came up. In the morning the gale was a hurricane Ihe boats were driven asunder and no more was seen or heard of tho Captain's party. SAVED. The mute relates tho rest : From Friday, July 9th, to Friday, July Kith, everything remained about the same with us so far as weather was concerned. All of us suiluring from tho want of water and provisions, we wero fortunate enough to catch a few fish, which wo ate raw. re lieving our thirst and hunger for a uhort time. Tho want of water became so severe that I caught ouo of the men diinkiug salt water, and put a atop to it. Friday, July lGth—Sighted a light at 3.30 a.m. Stoercd for it; gave tho crew au extra drink of waiter; 3 a.m., sighted two Mexican men-of-war at anchor oil' Mazatlun and boarded the Dcmocrata, whore wo wero kindly used by tho Captain, and I take this opportunity to return him my thanks for his kind treatment to me and my men. By advice of tbo American Consul at Mazatlan they tosk passage on tho New born, arriving on Friday as stated at the outset, lv concluding his uariativo tho inato pays his tribute to the heroic woman who shared their perils and privations. Before closing this report, I wish to speak tho captain's bravo wifo. When all hands wean called to man the pumps sho was ono of tho first to respond, although sho water was up to her neck on deck, and when wo had to take to the boats sho cheered us all by her bravo words, and during the time wo were iv company with the boatß, hhc would send us cheerful greetings from one boat to the other. JPoor lady 1 It is very distressing that one so good, young and bravo should be left to such a sad late. She was only 19; married a few days beforo we tailed. I think there is no doubt but that the captain's boat reached Sorocco island, and it is to be hoped that relief will be aunt at once to rescue his crew from a terrible death. Thn President of the Chamber of Commerce wrote a letter to Collector Shannon relating the facts of the loss of tho vessel and ap pealing to him to eoud|the reve»ue cutter to the island of Sorocco for the rescue of the Captain and his brave wife and party, who it is believed havo reached that land. The mate of the lost vessel voluuteered to ac company the cutter as a guide. The re quest, however, was refused, and two private yachts set out, with what result was not yet known when the last mail left San Francisco.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The lively and variable comedy of " Baby," in three acts, with appropriate orchestral music, was repeated last evening in tho Theatre Royal. The characters were well sustained throughout, and much satisfaction was manifested. The leading partß of D;iwkins, the tutor, by Mr Liagard, nnd Betsy, by Mrs Lingard, were delineated with life-like tact, without exaggeration. Mr Charles Overton's Mr St. Paul, and Miss Huran, as the fond mother of Baby, wore studied representations which were appreciated, whilst Mr Craig, as tho preco cious baby, "pure and timplo" in his mother's eye, was well portrayed. Mr J. B. Stcelc was full of life as Captain O'Manus, although rather faulty with the brogue of a true-born Irishman. A slight change of cast was unaroidable, in conse quence of the illne»H ot Mrs Fitzwilliams. The comedy altogether is highly amusing, and the frequent changes and variety ot dialogue and sudden innovations, make the baby acceptable alike to heads of families and bachelors. Tho comedy will bo re peated this evening.

The quantity of kauri timber in tho varioui bushes at Wlwngspoua is estimated by tht vendors at about one hundred and fifty mtlliot fcot, besides large quantities of other timbei that will ultimaiely become valuable. Tht different bushes are situated in a circle rounc tho harbour, as will bn seen from the map of tht property. *o that all are thoroughly available Most of the timber is very handy and can be go out at a low rato. A considerable quantity can hi trammed out, making tho cupply indoponden of freshes; and Wharjgapona i-> noted fo always having a supply of logs.
