TIMARU, this day.

FIRE BRIGADE CONFERENCE,

At the Fire Brigade Conference to-day, 27 were present. Jt was decided not to establish a general sick and accident fund. It was shown that payment from the Brigade funds for several years past in this account averaged only 34*14 pert annum, and the public always sub scribed liberally when occasion required. It was considered that as accidents were sustained in the service of the public they were only doing their duty in making compensation, and always did it gladly. The accumulation of funds would also be found troublesome and detri mental in revising, unless it was decided to do away with tho gold medal for seven years' service, giving a certificate for three years, and a silver medal for five years' 'service, and silvee Maltese cross, for deeds of valor at fires. Superin tendent Whiteford (Wellington) was elected President for the ensuing year, Lightfoot, of JVeUou, receiving an equal number of votes, decided by lot.

THE PREMIER AT THE THAMES.

RAILWAY MATTERS,

TUB Hod. John Hall, Premier and Minister ot Public Works, arrived at the Thames at 0 o'clock last evening, He was met at the steamer's side by His Worship the Mayor and County Chairman, who escorted him to the Pacific Hotel,—The first deputation which received an audience was taat from the Borough Council, consisting of the Mayo», and Councillors'Usborbo, McGowan, Veole, and McCullough. — Tie Mayor, who acted as spokesman, said the first matter to which he invited Mr Hall's attention was the railway, which was considered one of the most im portant requirements 'of the district. Ho wished particularly to press upon the attention of the Premier the necessity of completing the line from Morrinsville to the Thames. The country waa making rapid progress, and the importance of the formation daily becoming more apparent. Timber in the upper Thames was compara tively scarce, and though we have three large mills here, they have no efficient means of convoying their product. Mr Hall said it had appeared to him extremely undesirable that the line to Komi should proceed by the route origi nally laid out, and he had determined to come nncl see for himself, He had very little doubt that he should be able to come to a decision which would enable the Government to proceed with the comple tion of the line towards Kopu, That was the object of Government, and he saw no reason why the matter should be delayed. It was to be understood, however, "that no [claims for compensation were to be preferred except in reference to the removal of a certain goods shed in the way. With regard to the Hamilton • Thames railway, the principal cause of delay -was the Hamilton bridge, which would be a very costly structure. The material was now oil the ground, but the w.oik was of such a nature that it must necessarily take a considerable time—at least six- months. He quite appreciated the importance of the line, and would endeavour to push it forward as soon as possible. * FREEHOLD OF OOLDFIELDS.

The Mayor next referred to the purchase of tho freehold of the goldfields, especially that of Ohinemuri, as there wore a. number of small agricultural areas to which a title could bo given if the freehold of the field were purchased, Mr Hall said they might rely upon the assistance of Government in a matter ofso great importance, but he could not give any specific pledge in the absence of more detailed information.

The " Thames Advertiser" of this morning says:—'' We regret to report the occurrence of two more fatal cases of ecarlct fever. One of these is the second in the same family, a youth of 10 and a-half years, and the other children of the house hold are also suffering from the same epidemic. The second instance is a fine little fellow of five years, who has fallen a victim. One patient in the County is being successfully treated at the building at Parawai which the County authorities have specially set apart for the purpose in an isolated position. This build ing is to be used in all cases where isola tion is otherwise impossible, and where the household decline to isolate themselves upon an outbreak of fever in their midst. The County have acted promptly .and judi ciously in the matter, and we trust the re sult will be a decrease in the number of cases. Dr. Payne, the medical officer to the local boards of Iroalth, is nssidious in his attention to the case isolated at the Parawai house."

FATAL FIRE IN DUNEDIN.

Four Children Burnt to Death>

(BY TELEOBAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

yUNEDIN, this day, A fire broko ont in a small wooden house in Smith-street, near the corner of Dowling street, shortly after four o'clock this, morn ing, by which four children were burnt to death. Tho house was occupied by Julius Bessiski, his wife, and four .children, iwho ail slept upstairs. , The .fire appears to have broken out on the ground floor, and the family were not, aroused till it broke through tho upper, floors Bessiski and wife got. out through the Window j leaving the children in bed, but it Was hot known for some time that there was any; oho in the house, as little attention was paid to the ihaddeniilg screams. ,df Mrs Besdski. ■ When the • Brigade ar rived, however, the house was en tirely enveloped in flames, and 'it would have been too late to have rendered assistance. The names of the four children burnt were—Francis Bessiski, aged 8 years; Minnie Bessiski, aged 6 years; Martha Bessiski, aged 4 years; and Tho.s. Creft, aged 13 years. A two-story house adjoining, occupied by Mr Grcenslade, who is tho owner of all the property destroyed, was completely gutted. The buildins* is insured in tho Norwich Union for £300, but Mr Greenslade esti mates the loss at considerably above that amount, as the furniture is not insured. The bodies of tho four children have been recovered,

THE LICENSING COMMIT TEES ELECTIONS.

THE first elections of Licensing Committees in the City of Auckland, Under the pro* visions of the Licensing Ordinance of last session, are taking place to-day. Strong committees, appointed by the Licensed Victuallers' Asaobiation and the Temper ance Societies, have been working bard at thescvoral polling places.and each party seem sanguine ot "running in" their "ticket.' Cabs have been plying about the city occasionally depositing a load of ratepayers at the several polling places. Notwith standing the exertions made by the parties taking ah active part in the election, there appears to be very little interest taken in the matter by the general public, indeed.'at mid-day to-day we were casually informed that only one vote had been recorded at the polling booths for Auckland North aud Auckland South. Mr J. E. Mac donald, who is the Returning Officer for the three city diitricts and for Parnell, officiated at the Ctty East polling place, Messrs J. Cotter, J. Y. Collins, and O'Callighan performing similar duties for City North, City South, and Parnell respectively. The poll closes at six this evening, and the result will probably be known an hour later.

Ah overture from the Presbytery of Auckland was received anent the question of marriage with deceased wife's sister. The Rev. Mr McCallum appeared in support of the overture. He moved that the wholo matter bo remitted to the Presbyteries with a view to legislation. The Rev; Mr Ncill seconded. Two amendments were proposed by the Rev. Mr Fraser and Rev. Mr Gillies res pectively, giving full liberty of conscience with respect to such marriages. After considerable discussion, a third amendment, declining to move in the matter, was carried by 13 to 11. CENTRALISM REJECTED. A proposal for localising the AssembJ y at Wellington was fallen through, from a majority of the Presbyteries being opposed to the change. UNION. The Assembly resumed at 7 o'clock^ when the Eov. Mr Treadwell brought up the report on union. The negotiations had resulted in the formation of a basis of union. Mr Treadwell dis sented from the repsrt on the ground that Dunedin was proposed ns the seat of the General Assembly and Christchurch offices. ' The Rev. P. Mackio moved: That the report be adopted, that the committee be re-appoin ted and re-instructed to continue negotia tions, that the report be amended as sug gested in the committee and be sent down to the Presbyteries and Kirk Sessions, and that it be transmitted to the Synod of Otago and Southland, the result to be re ported to the next Assembly. The Rev. T. R. Cairns, Christchurch, moved that it is inexpedient to continue negotiations for union. The Rev. Mr Ogg (Wellington) said that ho believed there was not a gene ral desire 'for union In tho Otago Church. After an animated debate, which was charac terised by a friendly spirit towards the sis ter church, the motion for continuing nego tiations was carried by a majority of 21 for, and 10 against. The result was recei ved by the Assembly and the audience with loud applause. The Assembly then ad journed. • . *

Ho was inclined to think the amendement was an anti-dock movement, as Mr Me- Kfinzie was constantly moving, in this direction, He .was therefore Inclined to bo onspiciouc Mr McKensie said he took it tor granted that the dock would go on, and that his further opposition would be useless. He thought they should have a new chairman every year.—MrWaddell said the dock so far reflected no credit on either the Chairman er the Board. Tho faco work, ho considered, Was not permanent, After some further discussion the chairman put tho motion —"That Mr Compton Ijq chairman for the ensuing year."

Payment of MEMfcfiiis» -Ut J. Ni Stephens, secretory of the Adelaide Marine Board, wrote asking what fdoi were paid to wardens or members of the Auckland Board lor their services* nnd stating that the Adelaide wardens receive- £1 Is for at tending each meeting, and when making visits of inspection to the lighthouse, &c, receive £1 Is per diem, and 15* per diem for travelling allowance;— The'1 secretary stated that no payments whatever were made to the members ot the Auckland Board, and it was decided that an answer should be fonvarded to that effect. The Miasubed Mllk.—Mr J. J. Bur» gees, Chief li arbour-master, wrote in refe rence to a statement that ihe measured mile was incorrect. He said that the two pairs of posts (beacoDs) were correctly set North and South by compass; dud the' difference between Mr Stewart's moasitreineiit itnif his of the. mile; ns measured by chain, is 60 feet. Aa regarded local attraction of ihe compass, he was not aware that any existed, and Mr Stewart did not seem «t all positive about the matter; In measuring the mile, he traversed the distance tfiricC with the chain, the greater part df the ground at that time being thickly covered with high ti-troe, while now it was. comparatively clear, (A letter from Mr James Stowart, etating that the principal error Was dne to a local attraction, wasappended). — Referred to the Works Committee to report

Dock Does.— MrC. Bailey wrote isking the Board to make a reduction in the Dock dues, on the p.s. Effort, as during the time she vras in dock, several other voaaels were docked each time, causing a great deal of extra trouble and loss of time.—Re ferred to the Dock-master for report.

CAULK.—Mr J. Urchiston forwarded an application for permission to lay n cable from Shelly Beach to Stokes's Point, being the most convenient point, and least in way ot the shipping; - The Harbour Master said there was no reason for objection so far as the navigation of the harbour wasebneeroedj provided that the position of the cable, when laid, be duly notified, and vessels warned not to approach within a certain dis< twice on either side of the line of cable, which might be more clearly defined by a couple of poles or beacons placed on Stokes's Point. - Permission granted, sub ject to the conditions suggested by the Harbour-master.

APPuciiioN fob Employment.—Cap tain W. Ellis, who held the position of wharfinger and Harbour-master for up wards of 20 years, but whose services were dispensed with on' the occasion of the changes made in the staff about two years ago, wrote pointing out that his dismissal prevented him from supporting hiiniclt, as he had spent his beat years in the service ot the Board, and asking that some light employment be provided for him, or a ■mall annuity allowed.—Several members considered that some employment should be. found for Mr Ellis, and the letter was referred to the Works and Endowment Committees for cowfderation.

Thk Reclamation. — The Attorney. General wrote as follows: — Government Buildings, Auckland, 20th February, 1882. Sir,—l enclose a tracing showing what the Government propose in reference to the railway station at Auckland, in substitu tion for the plan now being carried out. As part of my arrangement, tho Government will require the right of taking material for the recliroation works from the Hoard's pro perty at St. Rarnabaa'e point. As the new plan will give the Harbour Board valuable building hind in exchange for land far less valuable, and will afford to the public a much more convenient railway station at.» less coat] to the Government, I anticipate that the Board will have no difficulty in acceding to the proposed alterations. In order, however, to give effect to these, a '• Confirmatory Act" by the General Assembly, altering the "Auckland Har bours Act, 1874, will be required, and this the Government proposn to introduce in the next session, but in the meantime, if the Board agree, the arrangement iow proposed will be acted upon.—Yours &c, FRED. WHITAKEB.

The Chairman moved: " That the pro po;ul of the General Government to sub sidise reclaiined,lan<J,in accordance with the plan submitted with letter from the Hon, the Attorney-General, dated February 20th, 18S2, be adopted, and that the Board con cede to the Government all thoir right to remove material from St Barnabas's Feint as stated in condition of existing lease, and that an agreement embodying the foregoing conditions be drawn up and signed by the General Government and this Board."— Seconded by Mr Aickin and agreed to. - The secretary said the return of the allot ments would mean £7,000 a-year profit to the Board.

Quarantine.—The following telegram from Wellinton was read : "Proclamation declaring Sydney no longer an infected port gazetted 17th; vessels which left Sydney More that date will have to comply with quarantine regulations as heretofore.— HUGH Pollin."—The secretary reported that the fact had been notified to the pilot department. wobks Committee. — This committee recommended that plans and specifications be prepared and tenders called for removing tho fish stalls to a site between berths H and C, Queen-street Wharf, and'converting them into offices, the Board to drive the necessary piles; and also that the mooring piles be driven and fixed, at the Bailway Wharf, as suggested by the foreman ot works.
