The Late Accident at Hen derson's Mill.

AN inquest was hold this afternoon at the Provincial District Hospital, before Dr. Goldsbro' and a jury of twolvc, on the body of Joseph Talbot, who died on Friday last from injuries received on the morning of that day, on the lino of railway near Hon. dcrson's Mill. Sergeant Jackson appeared on behalf of tho police. The witnesses were : Dr. Phiisou, as to the injniios which proved fatal; Win. Hackett, engine driver j John Haslett, fireman ; aud Constable Rist; but as tho whole of the evidenco appeared in the Star on the evening of the 20th iust., repetition is unnecessary. After hearing the evideuco of the several witnes ses, the jury fouud a verdict of "Acci dental Death," in accordance with medical testimony.

FIRING FOR MOORE'S MEDAL.

The firing for Moore's Modal took place on Saturday afternoon, at the Mount Eden range, by members of the Auckland Naval Brigade. Captain Le Roy who was in charge took the scores. There were 27 competitors. The wind blowing across the range with varied force made it ditlicult to allow for, consequently the scores aro below tho usual average. At the close of the 400 yards range 16 of tho competitors retired ; nlso, two others, after fmu» two rounds at 500 yards, leaving 9to compete. By this time the light became very uncertain, l tie following were the scores at the closo of tho 400 yards and 500 yards ranges, shewing how the firing at 500 yards changed the fortuno of the day : -400 yards : P.O. Wait, 30 points : Seaman Harding, 39; Seaman Moulden, 27 ; Sub-Lieut. Smith, 27 ; Sea man Crockett, 25 ; Seaman Lamb, 25 ; 1.0.

THE DEATH OF MARTIN CIIBRKY. MARTIN Cherry's death is described by a correspondent of tho " Benalla Standard ill the following terms : -" The press and tho public seem to be in doubt how Martin Cherry came by his death at Glenrowau. I was one that was in the house at the time, and I will endeavour to show how it occurred. When the police arrived at Glen rowan they commenced to tiro into the dwelling from all directions. The bullets came thick and fast like showers of hail. Each of us endeavoured to protect ourselves as well as we could, some under beds, others on the floor. I took refuge among some baas of grain. I could occasionally hear bullet 3 strike and bury themselves in the bags of grain behind which I was sheltered. As tho bullets continued to pour iv among ml heard some person cry out 'For God's sake, come here; lam shot.' I recognised Martin Cherry's voice. I immediately ran to his assistance, and I found bim bleeding from a wound he had received in the groin. I pulled a sheet from off n bod and did my best to stop the bleeding by tying the sheet over the wound. I had scarcely completed the rough dressing when a bullet grazed the back of ray head, so, linding 1 was in ex-, treme danger of being sho: myself, I lifted a mattress' off a bed and placed it over Cherry to protect him as much as possible from further danger, and then rushed back to my previous place of shelter, where I remained until about ten o'clock in the morning, when the police gave us all permission to leave the house. I wish to state that Martin Cherry was lying on the floor when the shot struck Mm that caused his death, and the said shot was fired from outside the house. [ Ned Kelly was not in the house at the time, and. had not been for some hours previous to Cherry being shot, which statement can be confirmed by all who were in the house at the time. In conclusion, I wish to observe that some members of the police force havo visited me since tho Glenrowan tragedy, and havo implied by indirect threats to keep my mouth shut respecting how Cherry came by his death. Bat thinking it best to let the public know the truth is my only excuse for trespassing on your space." MISTAKING KELLY FOR A POLICEMAN. ]n the course of the examination at Beech worth, Henry Dudley gave the following account of how he was stuck up at Young husband's in 1878. He said: "We were in o spring cart near Younghusband's station. Tennant, on horseback, had gone on to open tho railway gates. Kelly rode up and presented a revolver at us, saying, ' The station is stuck up.' I felt irritated, because he said ' Where did you shako that horse and trap ?' 1 thought he was a policeman. I said, ' How dare you charge honest gentlemen with stealing any horso and cart ?' It was not my cart, "but I said so. I said also, ' I will report you to your superior officer.' He said, 'Hold your tongue, or I will blow your brains out, ile then ordered us to the station, where we' saw Stephens. Kelly said to him, 'Tell these gentlemen who I am, as they do not appear to com prehend. Stephens then told us that ho ■was Edward Kelly. We were locked in tho storeroom. Kelly, on one occasion, came in. He prod need a gold watch and said to me. * That is a fine watch; it be longed to Kenned/. Was it not better for me to shoot the police than to let them carry my body a mangled corpse into Mans field?' He did not name, any of the police."

THE POLICE CONSTABLES CROSS-EXAMINED.

During then examination at Beechworth the Constables who captured Kelly were closely examined as to their conduct at Glenrowan. With reter enca to the firing into the Hotel, Senior Constable Kelly deposed: By six o'clock in the morning the hotel was surrounded, and unless the police failed in their duty they were bound to see anyone coming out! of the hotel. 1 fired into the house at the back when I saw the shot coming from there. I had a Martini-Henry carbine. Up to the taking of Ned Kelly I fired into the house about ten shots. The prisoners inside were told to lie down.

Mr Gaunaon (Kelly's Counsel): So you fired into the house were there were inno cent people ? Mr Smyth said this line of cross-examina tion onght to be limited. It had nothing to do with the charge of murdering Lonigan. ' Mr Gaunson said he wished to show the. conduct of the police. In Superintendent' Sadleir's report^ Kelly was charged with murdering Martin Cherry. Such .was.not. the case., It was the police who murdered him.

The Magistrate ruled that the evidence indicated had nothing to do with the pre sent charge. , , • ■ ' ■ • Witness : When Ned Kelly was captured I did not pull out a large quantity of his beard. I did have hold of his beard, but I ■ did not pull it, I saw. Constable Dwyer kick the prisoner. I heaa d Constable Bracken say, taking up hid gun, that he would shoot anyone who touched the prisoner. I remained at Glenrowan until the house was set on fire. I saw the body of Byrne and the chaired remains of what were supposed to be Dan Kelly and Stephen Hart. Senior-Constable Johnson set fire to the building. I believe that was done by order «f Superintendent Sadieir. I could not say if Edward Kelly was under the influence of drink. Father Gibney wan the first man to enter the burning building. I did not see him bring anybody out. Mr Chomley objected to this J^lino of cvi? donee being introduced. Mr Gaunson .'said that the Crown had called evidence not at all connected with the case, anc" vith tha object >.; infltaeiiciug tha public mind. For instance, they had called evidence with regard to Kelly putting his revolver in the face of a niaa at Haroa to show that he was a man capable of liootiuL' Looigaa. Now, he wished to ow what th.3 ?wlice wa» <■ ap able of. ~ ■

A PARIS HORROR.

*' All Paris " is horror-stricken at the hideous details of a murder just committed with every imaginable and unimaginable cir cumstances of hideousness by a monster of twenty, on a poor little girl of four years old; the murderer having followed the new but prevalent fashion of cuttingup the body of the victim into the smallest possible pieces, in the hope of getting rid of it more easily. This frightful and disgusting infamy makes the sixth or seventh case of the cutting up of thd victim by the murderer, in this city, since the first case of the kind was dis covered, somo two years ago; and it is becoming, tor all serious lookers-on, a grave question how far the publishing of minute details of such crimes by the public Press, may be responsible for the sudden adoption of this,aty>mini*bla; system of butsliery bsr', the murderers of the present day. The papers here have been giving full and minute descriptions of the sickening tragedy, divided into successive paragraphs, under specific headings:, r " The crime of wie'Rue de"Crenelle."' " In ception of the crime," and so on, from the beginning to the end of the series of horrors; and all these revolting details have been eagerly devoured by theParisien. f 'wgous" for the last four days. And now the illustra ted papers, just out, are giving the same details in a series of engravings, showing the progress of what seems,more ; ljke, a drama'frote ] th 6 Infernal-re'gioiis' thad any thing that a human being could he sup posed to he capable of enacting, from the enticing of the poor little victim (a remark ably pretty and lovely Jittle into the murderer's iooni, 7 Vy-: the offer of a bouquet of lilac, to the hideous act of the chopping up of the poor little corpse, on the table at which the horrible scoundrel is seen busy at his diabolical work, with hammer1, chopper, and knife, the mangled fragments of the victim lying here and there, as the work goes on, and the blood pouring oil the table on to the floor. The newspaper, vendors here display "any -illustrated 'journals, supposed to be specially attractive, on the outer walls ot their shops ; and it is simply horrible to note the crowdsof fellowsof ",low degree,"mostly men in blouses, or much-out-of-the-clbows, v?hp, as I write, aro clustering round these .prinfa, devouring every detail, and but too probably, in many cases, considering what and how they would do in similar circum stances. Scarcely a week passes at present without the discovery of an arm, a leg, or other portion ,of a ~human ..body, by the police', by passers, ty^fishermep, in sewers, i iii ditches, the canal, or the Seine., and the wretched display of the details of this xiew crime may be safely counted, ,on for pro ducing half-a-dozen imitation's.: -On the other hand, the indignation excited by these frightful crimes in the minds of the honour ble portion of the community has created a '.ernand for a speedier administration of the penalty of the law upon the wretches whose infamous doings seom almost to exclude them from the pale of humanity. It is urged that such monsters, concerning whose crime there exisls no shadow of douDt, should be judged and executed with all pos sibie li3patch ; so that the vengeance of t,bs law may follow the crime with a swiftness wh» h, it is thought, would have a de terring effect on the criminal classes. It is also a question whether it might not be wsll, in order to increase the deterrent effect of capital punishment, to change the forai of the death-penalty in certain cx i tremc classes of crime by turning over the criminal to men of science for the purposes of Experimentation in the various branches of physiological science, instead of simply sending him to the guillotine. The effects of [ electricity, congelation of new medicinal substances, of surgical operations, might be tried on the wretchesp'now^ren'np-I»"tri<)dßS"OfstlJl|Ji'eS^ aioa that teach nothing to science, and that jaqem ] rto / e,xercjße but Jjttle.<actipn,!O.n,;the fninds of "the crimingtiy disposed^ anno, it is surmised, and probably not without reason, would be far more apt'to'-be deterred > from. carrying out»their horrible fancies if the terror of the scalpel, the electrical machine, and the whole arsenal of scientific methods and [appliances were known to«be brought into play foe the! punishment of murder, and the other extreme crimes of the prison calendar.—(JParis Correspondent.)

Death of Miss Speedy.

The sudden death of Miss Rose Speedy (daughter of the late Major Speedy and Bister of the present Major, who took a pro nvnent part in the war of Abysinnia) lias caused general sympathy at Waiuku, where the deceased had lived and died. Miss Speedy had attained her sixteenth year, and was much esteemed in the neighbourhood. In tho early part of last week the youog lady now deceased got on to the roof of the house with the view of extinguishing the burning lire in the chimney, and in making the attempt, her foot slipped, and she was precipitated to the ground, but apparently sustained no serious injury. Subsequently, however, Miss Speedy felt unwell, and her mother considered ijt necessary to have some medical advice, and on Saturday morning she took passage by tho steamer Oregon, for Onehunga, for the purposo of consult ing a medical gentleman in Auckland, but before tho steamer left Waiuku, the lady, iv the presence of her mother, fell back in her scat and expired. The body was carried into Mr Sedgwiek's hotel, when all efforts to restore life proved unavailing, and where an inquest will, most likely, be held this afternoon. Miss Rose Speedy was the youngest of four daughters, her three eldest sisters are married and settled in the province. The blow is keenly felt by Mrs Speedy iv her widowhood, deceased being her constant companion.

Correspondence.

MR JOHN LAMB AND CHEAP

LABOUR.

(To the Editor.)

SIR—I fail to see how Mr J. Lamb's ex planatiou mends matters at all. His meaning I take to be this—the unemployed are unskilled workmen, therefore they aro only entitled to 2a and 3s per day. To assume that all those who aro out of work, or have got temporary employment from Government, are unskilled or unsuitable, is both unjust and untrue. But whether skilled or unskilled, the question still remaius unanswered : How cau auy man in New Zealund lire on 2s or 3a per day ? If ho can't, what does Mr Lamb mean by making such a proposition ? Docs he wish it to be understood that all who are Unemployed are loafers and should be punished by senri-gtarvation ? If ho does, he is guilty of as great injustice as I should be if I were to say that every rich religious employer " grinds tho faces of tho poor."— Yours truly,—L.N. Sir, —If you think the following original lines are worthy tho space, I wish you would insert them in your valunblo papor. Although they aro simplo, I am persuaded they will find an echo in tho breasts of many ot that class who at present are so crushed by advorso circumstances that their oxis tencc is miraculous. And tho man that would endeavour to make their case worse if possible, certainly does not display the tenderness of tho lamb :— Oh! fearful thought, Incredible, though true. That man with will to work Can't K6t it to do, Soliciting, but in vain, Refused on every side; Tis onough to t>ira his brain, Or drive to suicide. —Yours faithfully, Unemployed.

Sir,— Knowing the columns of your valu able paper are ever open to the " causo that lacks assistance," permit mo space for a few lines. M. John Lamb, considering the pre sent rato of wares paid by tho Government are too high, proposes to benefit hia fellow-creatures by reducing them to two and three shillings per day respectively. A selfish disposition can clearly oe seen at a glance. By having tho duty removed from tj,n and solder, and by paying men two and three shillings per day, ho would pocket eighteen and twenty-four shillings per week very.quietly for every single or married man he employs, as the case may be. Again, Mr Editor, he tries to cloak and smooth people over in his Saturday's letter to the Star, by saying he only means the Unsuitable emigrants that havo been in troduced into the country by the Govern ment, which shows weakness in tho"very face of it. And now, Mr Kditor, £ would ask how could a single man pay eighteen shillings per week for board and lodgings, keep himself in clothing and attend an even ing class, or some other branch of solf-im prqvement. And again, could a married man keep a wife and family, fed and clothed respectably on such wages, saying nothing about any lost time he may hate. If Mr Lamb thinks it could be don c, I would suggest that he set the example, and show the way, at the present high price of necessaries in this country.l—l am, &ci, Vulcan.

Sir, —In reading your remarks, and letters inserted, re J. Lamb and cheap labour, it appears to me all the correspondents have missed the pith of the whole thing. It is this : Cut down the poor man's wages, crush him, only please be kind enough to pity poctr John Lamb, by taking the duty off tin and solder, so that I can make my biscuit ting cheap. Again, in Saturday evening's issue I see he has written to the City Coun cil Suggesting that a by-law should be made allowing people to fit up water-pipes in their own premises, without employing a licensed plumber. This is on a par with the duty oil" tinjand solder. By employing his own tin smiths be could fit up his water-pipes on bis premises much cheaper than a licensed man could. Please pity tho sorrows of poor John Lamb.—l am, &c, W. J. Andrews.

Mining News.

The manager of the Moanatairi mine re ports :—"Tunnel level, Nonpareil croa cut.—A large reef Bft. thick has been inter sected at nearly a right angle with drive. The stone is white, well disseminated with munilic and antimony, and looks veil for gold ; being in good country a rich find may : be met with. The stuff broken from here -will be saved to crush. Since bending the drive; 11.0 ft. has been driven throngh good country, but we have not yet met with olide. Golden Age rise.—Quartz leaders varying from 1 to 4ins. thick are dropping into reef No 3 reef and branches are producing the usual quantity and grade of stuff. In the football branch prospecting cross-cut noth'ng has yet been intersected, and there is still 60 feet to drive to our boundary. Point Russell, creek ievel,—No reef has been broken from stopes this week. At the 100 ft level a reef 18 inches has been struck. This i* the same lode we are stoping on in the; level above. It contains hard blue quartz with a heavy mixture of iron pyrites.- We slnll drive east on.this for a few days in order to give room for putting up a ri.se to connect with winze.—Yours, &C, KOBEET C'JMEB." To-day's "Thames Advertiser" says:— " There is a probability that before long payable gold will be found in the Kauwae jwpga- valley. Some of our readers will recollect that about three years ago h ii'ce quartz specimen was found embedded in a log which had come down the Kanwaeranga creek in a fresh, and the inference at the time was that the log in floating down had struck against the outcrop of a leader, and carried away a small portion of it. Search was then made Vy several parties for the whereabouts of the leader, but with out success, and until lately nothing further has been done in the matter. A gentleman who arrived i'rom the Upper Kauvrueranga in Satarday informs us thai two or three of the gum diggers working in the dietric': have been employing their spare hours of 'ate in fossicking about the creeks for the precious metal, and hare to some extent been successful in their search, having discovered several large quartz boulders, which they are confident contains gold. They intend to break one of them up and'bring the gold down to Grabatnstown and. have it properly tested. There are numerous boulders in the creek like those referred to, :and should the test prove satis factory, remunerative employment will be ' afforded. Oar informant says that as the boulders .are not scattered about for any distance, he believes the piace from which they originally came could be diacoyered by experienced persons in a short time.

*On Saturday a walking match against time was arranged. Mr Sindcn laid £50 against Willis walking 108 miles in 24 hours, the match to come off in Lome street Hall on Friday, September 10th. Mr Gallagher is stake holder. A colnmitteo is being appointed to carry the affair through. Doubts have been expressed as to the distance' actually walked at the Albert Hall, and the forthcoming event is regarded as the result.

JSjThe minister of Beresford-street congrega tion was compelled to pau^e soveral tim^s in the course of his sermon last niljhtiu cotise quence of fits of excessive coughing by the feminine portion of his hearers. The rev. gentleman said he deeply sympathised with the ajllicted ones, but hoped.ifpossiblo.they would riot cough in tho middle of an interesting sentence, but botweon, as a cough not uufrequently snapped the silken thread of a scrnion, and caused entangle ment, i ;.■!■. ;,i- . • Tho'" Thames Star " of Friday says : - " It will be remembered that at tho time Te Moananui died at Parawai, the natives blamed an old man for causing his death by witchcraft, and had not the old tellow been taken away probably his life, would have been endangered, fie was sent off to Chatham Island, but getting tired of that place, and longing for his home, he ■ some months ago left, and reached Coromandcl, where he stayed some time. Lately ho has. returned to this place, audis likely again to bathe cause of unpleasantness between the Ohinemuri natives, the immediate lelativea of Te Moanui, and the Thames people. We hear it is doubtful if the up river natives will comedown to Taipari's feast while the sup posed witch is in the neighbourhood ; so that it is likely the unfortunate though innocient old man will have to take to his travels again.' The same journal on Saturday says : In yesterday's issue we re ferred to the case of an old man Who ;wns' supposed to have bewitched Te Moananui, and now wo hear that the Hauraki natives accuse a Coromandel chief of bewitching Hoterini Taipari to his grave. It is impos sible Ito convince {them of the folly of the jdea, "ono native who formerly ocenpied! a' seat in tho Councils of the Colony having gravely informed .us that <{Hoterinijß " murderer " once bewitched a home of his and caused its death.
