ALLEGED CHILD MURDER.

Curious Complications.

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Hawera, this day. Josephine Green- was yesterday brought up and remanded on a charge of child murder. The Rev. Mr. Williams, Wesleyan minister, to whom the girl said she had given the child, deposed that he had only spoken to her once and knew nothing of the child. A baby's dress and flannels, much soiled, were found in a hedge down in the gully near here)] Mrs Hughos, midwife, said she made the flannels, and the missing child was wearing them when tho mother took her away. The theory of the defence is that tho child was given to George Williams, a married man, and father of the child, who is supposed to be living at Forty Miles Bush. Every effort is to bo made to discover him, and a special man will be sent to trace him.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Pumlco Stono for Making Cemont,

Wkllinoton, tills day. Mit J. C. CRAwroni), formerly R.M. hero, writes from London to tho Colonial Secre tary respecting the establishment of what promises to bo an important oolonial in dustry. He states that ho saw a merchant in London who was connected with tlie con struction of granite docks in Bombay, who said that for milking cement for tho works they had to import Large quantities of pumice from Adeu,andpumicoee_nont was thestrongj est mode for works under water. Mr Craw ford continued:—''lf pumice should prove to bo a valuable element in making cement, the North Island of New Zealund has an inexhaustible quantity." He referred tho subject to Dr. Folgi, C.E., an authority on the matter of coment, and tho latter suggosts that samples of pumice, as usually obtained, limestone samples, and samples of estuary mud, be sent to him for experiment. Mr Crawford states that a great supply of pumice is found in tho Wanganui River, in tho East Coast Rivers, in Hawke's Bay, also in Waikuto River, nnd probably in the Thames. In Wanganui tho pumice Houta down tho river, and a oargo could easily bo secured. Tho North Island, ho assorts, has a monopoly of tho article, The chief item of cost in producing the cement would be fuel, and tho fuel should be coke. Dr. Paigi was willing to report on tho adaptability of samples which may bo sent him, his foe being 25 guineas in addition to the expenses of analysis, from 2 to 3 guineas.

MINING COMPANY MEETING.

Tub annual meetings of shareholders in tho Queon>f Beauty and New Colonial G.M. Companies convenoed for the afternoon lapsed for want of a quorum. Nhw Colonial.—The directors report stated that though tlie operations for tho fiast year, have 'not resulted in any crush ing being obtained, yet the prosptcts of the mino nave improved so much of late, that thoy anticipato before many months cx piro somo excellent gold returns will bo ob tained, moro particularly from that portion of the mine wnich was taken up in May .lust on the recommondation of tho mino mana ger. Queen or Enuland and Nkw Colonial. —The manager's roport, after describing tho work done in the mine, suggest*, the ad visability of determining some means whereby the reef may bo tested at a greater depth. As the reef is likely to benefit tho Success Company, he suggests that the directors should join with the New Colonial nnd Queen of England is extending the Success low level to tho boundary of the Now Colonial. Failing this, ho says both Companies might Bink a winze at the junction of cross leader with tho main reef, when he thinks a rich deposit will bo mot with.

[BT TELEGRAPH.—OWN COBRHSPOKDEXT.]

VV_SIiINOTO-f, this afternoon. Tho Council and tho Gold Duty.

Tfie Goldfiolds Committee of the Upper House reported that they are favourable to reduce the duty on gold by ono-half, but not to wholly abolish. It. As this is a money bill, the Council cannot amend it, and it is therefore expected that it, with tho Assombly Members' Expenses Bill, will be thrown out. Rights of Volunteers. Volunteers will bo interested to learn that Mr Cadman proposes to ask Govern ment to-day If they will, during the recess, consider tlie advisability of restoring to Volunteers enrolled between the years 1873 and 1876 their rights in aceordanoe with the recommendations made by the Public Peti tions Committee in 1878, and later still lh the report of the Royal Commissioners, to be found in tho oppendii to the journals of 1882, pp. 17. The Now Rotorua Township. Mr Moss Is to ask Die Ministor of Lands what measures he proposes to take to seoure the revenue against loss (on tho expenditure of £1,072 last year, and the sum of £6,000 voted this year, for development of Thermal Springs) in view of tho refusal of the large majority of native owners to sanction the management of their land by Government, and of their expressed determination to manago it t-iomsolves ; also, whether Go vernment intend to further promote the es tablishment of a township at Sulphur Point, and to romovo to it the public buildings hitherto in tho old township at Ohinemutu, and whether it Is true that they have required persons who havo, during several years lived nt tho old town ship, to romovo within the noxt two years all hotels and buildings put up by them, in order that the old township may bo in cluded in a projected public part? The Volunteer Claim for Clothing. Captain Bennett, of Parihaka, now a resi dent of Auckland, gavo strong nnd interest ing evidence in support of the Naval Brigade petition for cost of clothing used at the front. He stated that Ministers pro mised many things if the officers succeed in gotting away without delay, and awaking enthusiasm throughout the service. An Unequal Arrangement. Last night, in reply to Mr Swanson, the Colonial Secretary stated that the cost of administering the Contagious Diseases Act in Auckland was borne by t)ip ratepayers, and by the colony in Christchurch.; but he said that the expense in the latter place was vory slight as compared with Auckland. Members' Expenses Bill. There was a slight flutter this morning regarding the General Assembly Members Expenses Bill, which will probably go through tho Lower Houso without amend ment, and as it is a money bill tho Counell will not bo able to interfere.

ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.

A kailway porter namod Crawford had a narrow esca[>o from instantaneous death this afternoon, ond evon as it was, he has sustained injuries which it is feared are of a most sorious olioJoctor. At 1.30 p.m. ho was engaged at the Mercer Railway Station in assisting in the work of shunting. Proceeding to uncouple two waggojis, ho oallod the driver to back to slacken tho coupling chains. Crawford was ongagod in his work whon a sudden mpvement of the train caused his head to bo caught bofcweon tho buffers. Fortunately tho movemont wos very slight, and ho escaped with a severe squeeze. His face was badly cut, and It was evident that he required immediate medical attention. Had the waggon moved half-an-inch further than it did, there is not tho slightest doubt but that he would have met with instantaueous death. Craw ford was brought down by the train, which reached Auckland at 20 minutes to 4, and was .taken to tho hospital by Mr Ladder, guard of the Kaipara train.
