WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1882. The City Elections.

Por tho tauta tluit !a«lt; uslctaura, jfnr the wrong tliat.iiecds;resislttuc» ?»ir the fnttiroin tha dktanca. And tho ?jood that -vn can da.

THE iircifc municipal election, lince tho o:: ---touaiun of the city boundaries, will take ptaea to-morrow in East Ward. Is is absurd to ci»)l it an election, for otic can scarcely suppose that the:n ia, in Urn miud of any citiz»n, the idea of a choice between the two candidate. Mr Go«rgH Staiuea belongs to a by-jjone >iay in Auckland's history. The tinisa have gone p:tst him,— at lsaat wo bop«, tor tho credit and pi4a»rn.-3 of AncUhind, that it in ao. Tha rtpudia tion of the nandidata by hiu nominators during the last few days ia amusing ;md significant Still, thu fact remains, that Im baa boen legally nominated, aud unless beaten at the poll he will take bin aaac m a councillor. Iheeieotors, therofaw, who wiHh to avert the cataatrophn ami secure Mr Harper's return, muat not neglect to record their votes to-morrow.

It may be remarked that the enlargement oE the city i:t curtain to produce a vary im portaat iniluence ou thu future ti «nr ruuni. c.ipal gnvurnnicnt. Heretofore, although warda hare exiiifetl, thu sitting memben luwe regarded theniaolves very much aa representatives or this sntiro city, rather thim of any particular aoiitiou of ir. The Streets Committee, alto, has been able to viait thu locality of any proposed w»rk of <:ons«iuettce ; tiut it ia übviuiw chut aaluss mumbera in iatura ara able- to d<ivnt<; fclieir whole time to the dutiau, thij will n»w be absolutely impmsibU:. The suburban repraaentafcivaa, coming in wi-h thu tradi siona of tho old biahway system, and representing districts iiavisg enor mous want?, will be forced by their constituents into active partisanship on behalf of their own diairicta, The selec tion ot the most necessary wodca in a Ward and the supervision of tli»m will, from the canaea we Save indicated, largely davolya upon the local member 3, and the Ward ayatem will ultimately, as in moat larae cities, gradually aaaume ita true cbarac taristicn—pure local rapresenkfion. Tliore ia one danger to be apprehended frnm this change—namely, the fe«r nt deterioration in onr municipal body. W« da not say that thia is a fery imminant danger, because tie fact that diitricts must send good men, able to hold their own in a largn Council, will always impel tan ratepayers ti pick out the best available residents in a Ward; hut it necesaartly follows that iv a small area, there are fswur such men than x choice from the entire city would afford. The first teat, however, wliich ha*t bemi made in Ponaonby, in, we must aay, moi-t encourasing. Messrs. Bnardman, Dacre, and Devore, are gentlemen who could represent the -whole city witn credit, and Fonaonby ia fortunate in having resident within har borders three gnoii, practical business mou, pn»se»sing iarae locul interasta, who are williag to sacrifice their time for the general good. Tho danger in their cssb appearsrsther that the city warda will aulfer by failing to rtcfftTa their fair ahars than that Ponaonby will go short. Still, despite tha assurance which the contest fcwd for Friday next givs.i, th»re is some risk that little cliqnes in amall districts, forgetful that their representatives will have t» t»ka part in a wider sphere than the local high way board, will retarn men whose ne-wn are not brnad enonijh for the govarnment of a great city. It may not be nut of place, therefore, to warn them that their own interesta will sulfeE with those of the rest of the burgesses. Personal inflwencn will lie necessary to get anything done in tha enlarged Council, and the arranges!; motire power in human nature—self-pranervatton— impels the residents within each ward ta lay aside every min.ir consideration in re turning to tha Council good men, well abla to fight their buttles, and who will bring no discredit upon the ward or the city a* larae.

The Grey-street Mystery.

THOHGn it is never varypieasant to have a romantic dream dispelled, and to have our " airy unsubstantial nothings " reduced ta the level of every-day r«alitie<s, very few will re«ret that the result of the Coronsr'i inquest into the recant case of sudden death ia Grey-street baa been to direst that aad affair of the mysterious suggestions, pain ful suspicions, and harrowing possibilities, with which it waa surrounded. The rer dict arrived at, after a long and painstaking enquiry, is that the deceaaed, Mrs Cleaver, so far from meeting her death by araeawal poisoning, died of gaatro-entetiti.', or acnte inflammation of the atamach and intestines, brought ou by totally differ ent causes. Thia decision, prevents any stain attaching to ths me movy of deceased, by removing all idea of her having com mitted wiliul self-destruction ; it frees from , foul suspicion all those associated with | her during her last ciayi on earth ; ■■ -while, at the same time, the public I mind will be re-asnured on. the sub ject of the proper supervision of the "pale of poison, which it waa a»3umed had in this case been obtained in such a way that ; no tva,2e of. it cnuld be found. These results will be h'aijeii with general satisfaction, and the yerdict wilt be commended, as It deserves to be, for jta psactical common aenae, and ita thoro.-uah accosd -lyith the balance of evidence aubmitted at the in., quest. A sJmpla verdict of death from gastro-enteritia, -witliout apecifying the in ducing canae, though, perhap", the most judicial decision that could haya b.er.-.i come to in such a punzling cage, would hate left the mystery where ie was before. An open verdict of that kind would hay« been most unsatisfactory to the public, to the friends of deceased, and to tha medical gen tlemea who gave teatimnny at t.lie inquest; and we are glad that-, at the rinic of exciting hostile criticism, the jury followed tho dirsction of the Coroner, and returned a clear and definite vardlcij I'Ea '

Most prominent feature in tdio imiuiry: lia« been tim diaagraemanc <»t thu analytiaal [ evidence.

It wua not, of cimrae, i Incumbent upon Mr Paint to oiFcr any hypothesis in aspluuation o£ the sivsuniv cal traces elicited liy tho analysis at the two medical men who made thu/wrf mortem oxuuiiuutiiiu.

Recent accidents to these vessels kaown as " barges," scows," or " lUt-tnot.;,'' give tiae to tun question whether such craft aru not too ot'en over-laden. We have srou fch«se vej-Heln repfiatedly loaded withiaafew inches ot ainkin.?, when it wan evident chat should any very rough weather B« ex perienced, both ■ In; natety of th« burge and tha lives of thos« on board would b« im perilled. The construction of theaa Tesaela permits of the carriage of a great quantity of timber, or other articlies of trade, aa compared with the usual ityle of coasting craft, and jet they are apparently ■ often over-burdesed. It may be urged that tnsy are not per mitted,, and probably do not, carry over the tounase authorised, but when tha snfety of property aad life .'<* so much at st«ku ie ia evident OTsers and masters should be mors carsful than at present in thia matter. The abovij.jeniarks will also apply to theayntem of ifttfkj luniiing cnlliers aad other amall vesseiS Iradiog in and near the harbour.

A baiidaome diamond ting and illumi nated address were preseateii laat night to MrH.B'oMnvneby hisfctlow-worltera ta the Auckland Telegraph Department. Mr Blossome has sr»n the C3t;esni of the mem bers of the staff, and the presentations were tokens thereof. Mr Blnxjome l«av«a for the New Plymouth at«tion to take the place of Mr G. C, Beale. Mr W.

Mr jßloxaome waa a non-cmnmis aioaed officer ia the Victori* Company of Volunteers, and joined the Thames Scott:3h with a view, if necessary, of assisting at Parinalca. Mr Bloxaome left tn-day by the 5.3. Haw?a for New .flymoutb.

The fnnnral of the late Mr John Ff. Beale took place yesterday afternoon. The pro ce.'Bton was formed shortly after three o'clock at the house in Grafton-road, where deceased and hi.i family had residad for morn than 20 years. On reaching the cemetery of St. Stephen's, Paraell, the body WM carried into fclie mortuary chapel, fol lowed by numerous mourners, among whnm ■ were noticed Bishop Cowis, Mra Cowie the Rev. B. T.

M. jSsiaon, ALA,, incumbent eiSfc Paul's, of which church deerased held (lie position of church-warden. Before the lilling-in of the grave, a number of (lowers were dropped b? friendly bands ofj the coffin, and the funeral solemnities closed. At thft Opera House last evening, the Howe Company appeared in Harrl.-nn Ainsworth'3 sensational drama, "The Star Chamber," in which M r J. B.

He also showed ihe ammonia .mlphafcft of copper solution, Scheeli'a green, with 100 th part of a grain of arsenic, Thi.i,' he explained, would be very misleading in the presence of albumen. He bad mixed up white of egg, and would ahow how mis leading sulphate of copper would make it. In the fluid taken from the periconial cavity there wia a larjje amount of aibu men, and that would account for the green j and yellow colours produced by the am monia sulphate of copper and ammonia nitrate of silver. These he also explained by experiments Though this accounts for all the otlwr fe-ata. he could iot accouat for B.eiuach'a teat, which they aaid they tried, He showed the white arsenic with the octo hedral cry.ital«.

And now I wii'h to mj a TTord or two upon tha evidence. You have to enma upon that evidence t<» a duciiian tn-«iiht as to ho-.v trte deceased came by h»r death. It h*a been, mnre than sn»»cs'cd—i refrr to wha h»s appfarnd In ctia presn —that chare w»a foul'pl.ty ia thii ca«e; th.tt tha Jeccascd ilied by piiaon not admini«terid h? her mvi hunde, but by th";e »f sima other pcr jtias. I aak you to dismiss f.-»m yenr mud til such isports «r .inir^satinaa, an*i to coi line yiur.ielTei entirr-ly ti the evi<leuce be fore yon. So*, th*t Btidenco ia of two cliwsea—lst, that of Dr. P.icls.ardao* »nd Dr. vValker, cont»i»iag t,iie pnnirive siatenwnt th«t the deceased died from poisoa an>i , from nothing eifi!, a statruient ba«ed npoa their o'tHm-TatMua and cneir attalyiia ; 2nd —that of all the cirenmstancfra snrronnding tho ca-e, of Dr. Purchan, Dr, Cnahney, and Mr PunJ,, tending to show that so arsenic oould have b««n found, and th»t the canse of death ma from disease. I a»k you to adopt the latter theary. .Ii poinon had been aitaiaiatered, llien jon would naturally fia<i the jtartiag niont lntsreated aettinn np the theory of auioida. On tlw contrarj, in. thin earn*, Mr Thotiai Cl«a»er, Mra Clf!»Tsr, ami Mrs Butler'positively assert tbeir belict. Uiat ihs deceased did nnt commit or contemplata suicide. I a?k you, could their enndnct throngHout hay.i been kiiiiier or more sacin factnry ? Then Dr. Purch.ia and I).-, i-uchnc.y both asaarc than the exposure snffared by ths deceased mnat har« c-.in- Biderabiy weakened her, ami thai the re sttlla following lior eating such a hearty meal after ,i long day's journey, with an e-npty storaich, weakened by her farmer trials, would probably be, as I submit they were, those of gastra-enterms, ot acute in flaramitisn of tha stomach aad intestines, followed by death. We tmv*, thcrefiri, aow only to consider fhe evidence of Drs. fiichsrdson and Walker, relating Ito tha finding of araenic. Niw, I do not for one moment suggest that the doctors have tt^ted what ih«y believed to be uucrus, but I submit that their testa were unreliable and do not prove the presence of arsenic in the bedy of the iie^ ceased. The odour of garlic jpokan to by t Lit, Walker ia utterly asrelishle, and is not no ,f received aa it at oue time formerly wm as evidence of ths presence ot arHenie. (iVfr Cooper quoted from Tajlor on Poison.) Aa to the octahedral crystals spoken to bj Dr .Richardson, i am inclined to believe that they really were present, bat that is quita ! coasi-tent irith Cha fact tint the ar.-'enfc | producing them did not come from the bo-iy ' of tiie deceaaed. You will remsmher, and j I noticed you seehied then aoraewhat im- ■ patient, aa to the particular manitci' ia Avnicli I examined the doctors upou | the chemical purif.y of tbeir t<=ata. Gentie men, that examination elicited the faeta that no sufficient prccauoioua had been taken to pruve that purity, Dr. Walker ! aaya he washed this bottles used by hiai in. hia teata with sulphnric acid, which he had not tested. This acid frequently contains j large quantities of araenic, aa alao some- I timea doea hydro-chloric acid, copper wire and tha other matters nsed. The araeuic nrgbt, and in all probability wa.», pruducad , I from this very instrument! and aciria ihe j doctors used. Mr Pond, on the contrary, niaK.es a moat coxefui analysis, fie i a a profeasional analyst, proving everything, and the result in fiadlng no arsenic, ff araaaic haU been adminiasend, it would in 909 caaea out of 1000 have bean found in the fecal m-tter aooken- oE by Mr Pond. I asic you, therefore, ta find shit tfia decsaaed died fiom gaatro-emeritia, inau.:ed by the exooaure 3iie uaderwenfi at die time of tue birth of the child, the fatigue of her journey from the

The Coroner then proceeded to sum up fcau 6vidonu(j, and after remarking upon the caraful mauuer sn which botli Mr Thomson

B.s. did not attempt to palliate ins own con duct in tho slightest degree, nor did he; frmn first to taat say a ward against tho girl, fn fact there auoraed to be a great anionat of affecti»a between them, and, after (ha lirat part of hifl examination, he (tins Coroner) had. no doubt on his mind tiint it iluro wan poisouinj; hi,: had nothing: tn do wi;h it, He taou proceeded to ike uvidanca ;:i»e!i by Mra Butler, Mm Cloavw, Mr i ii.

Upon that point be felt a»«ured they ware quite natiaiiml. He then cum<! to the Bvittunce of Dm, Rictuxrdnon aad | Walkar.. Dr. liichaninon appeared to some I extent puzsiied by the symptoms, and iliia I mn not aarpruinff, far they were aot alto- j ;jnther of an ordinary kind, and after death, wiiun ukad for a eenifieaie of death, da alinad »cry properly to riie one until ha had satisfied Himself of the cause of death. For chat purpoxu ha followed tha proper courte, and Uelii a pout mortem eumi aatiuu. He had before called in, the aid ; or Dr. Wallinr, aad tile two held tha pout iiwrtam together. They held two e;:amina tionu, aad a iot of startling appearances were found. Both came to ilie conclusion that death: resulted fiom irritant poiaunin^, Grounding themselves on this thoory, they made a chemical examinatian,«nd they say they found arsenic. Thin might, bowev«r, an pitinted out by Mr Cooper, arise from impure ckemicula oeed in the tesis, as doc tara iv practice were not so likely to be called on for analyses a:i professional analyst", nor did he think a practuihg doctor had tha complete apparatus. It h»a i)i!i!ii proved by 3£r Pond taat some of the t>sta used by them, and on which they re. liuil, were fallacious if the saaxo material wasfnrniahei! to2IV Pond which they tested.
