THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO BANDSMAN WEAL AT TE AWAMUTU.

The inquest took place at the Court-House this morning at 10 o'clock, and lasted till J nearly three o'clock. The District Coroner I ' (Mr James Grcsham, solicitor, tf Te Awa < mutu) presided, and the foreman of tho jury i was Mr Thomas Hunt; Constablo Gillies t attended on behalf of the police. The in- . vestigation was a most searching one, and it was elicited in evidence that the danger Hags having been stolen from the . Butts, it had been arranged to substitute one of the discs as a danger signal. I The officer in charge of the iiring party (which consisted of only seven men) was Lieutenant Robert Bruce. The trooper who tired the previous shot to i that which caused the death had missed the target. It then became the duty of Bandsman Charles Alexander to fire. No danger signal was visblc at the Butts. A short pause occurred. Alexander then fired. Directly he had done so he saw the deceased (who till then had not been i noticed) fall forwards. Tho shot penetrated ' the right shoulder, and the poor fellow J lingered till Monday at 11.30. Before he j died the deceased had stated to his father j and others that, thinking that he might discover where the previous shot had struck, l ho was coming out of the Butts, and that ho , had a disc in his hand ; that when tho ball struck him this disc fell over his head into tire marker's butt. When the firing ' party ran up to tire target after the occur rence, all the discs—three in number—were ; found inside the marker's butt. The de ceased was marking alone in the butts, ' and no non-commissioned oflieer or other ' person was assisting him. In summing up the evidence, the Coroner directed the attention of the jury to the de- . iinition of homicide by misfortune, and : pointed out that the evidence showed that the man who fired the fatal shot was doing a lawful act, and had no intention to hurt any person. ' The jury retired for a few minutes to con sider their verdict, and then returned into Court with a verdict of "Accidental death," to which they appended a rider urging the importance of using danger flags and other safeguards against similar acci dents. A Military Funeral Accorded. The deceased was buried at 4 o'clock r with military honours. The interment took place at the Roman Catholic Cemetery at Rangiarhia, Father Noboa officiating. The I whole available force of Cavalry attended , in uniform, the band (of whom deceased was a member) playing the Dead March. Three volleys of blank cartridge were fired I over the grave. Much sympathy is felt for • the family of deceased, whose father, till last year, was a member of the Troop, and ' had seen military service since 1847. — - !

CHILD KILLED ON THE RAILWAY.

♦ [BY TELEGRAPH— press association.] ' l Dunedin, Wednesday. Particulars of the death of Agnes Cook, | killed on tho railway line near Shag Point on Monday last, show that the deceased ' (who «as nine years of age) was in company i with her mother, standing by a hawker's cart near the railway point, when the four o'clock train came along. The horse became r restive at the noise of the engine, and the i child, to get clear of it, rushed on to the ' railway line in front of the engine. She was : dragged about fifteen yards beforo the train could be stopped. She died before medical ' aid could be rendered.

INTERESTING PROPERTY DISPUTE.

[lIV TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wangandi, Wednesday. The trial of tho action, McGregor v. Boyd, began to-day in the Supremo Court before tho Chief Justice, without a jury. The plaintiff i» the half-brother of the late John McGregor, who rosided 40 years in , Wanganui, and is married to an adopted daughter of that gentleman. The defen dant is Miss Christina Boyd, another adopted daughter of deceased, who lived with him for the last few years of his lifo, until his death. Plaintiff seeks to set aside two deeds of gift made in Miss Boyd's favour by deceased, on tho grounds of her undue influence and his unsoundness of mind. A large number of witnesses will bo called on each sido, and the case excites deep interest here, the property at stake being worth £20,000, the whole of which passed by the deeds of gift. Tho trial will probably last tho remainder of this week.

NEW ZEALAND AND THE ANNEXATION CONFERENCE.

The Premier and ex-Premier of this colony, who aro to proceed shortly to attend tho Annexation Conference at Sydney, are stated to have been conferring as to the forthcoming event and the policy they fihould pursue. Meanwhile a Sydney paper has boon giving people " on the other side" an idea of our representative statesmen by moans of the following lively skotoli: — " Major Atkinson and the Hon. F. A. Whitaker are to be the New Zealand repre sentatives at tho Sydney Conference next month. Tho latter was an astute lawyer nnd a singularly wide-awake statesman, In order to get the ' budge' on him it would bo necessary to arise and go unto your father's house before nights candles were burned out and jocund day was ob.orvcd'sitting cross-legged on ! tho misty mountain tops. In big land speculations and the unrevised text of tho ' eleventh commandment' he is open to back himself against the world—always barring Major Smith of Ballarat. The latter boasts that ' Whitaker whipped creation, and I whipped Whitaker.' Tho other N.Z. plenipotentiary is known as the ' Majah among his people, just as Wellington was known par excellence in London as 'The Dook.' Thoro might be i other 'Majahs,' just as there ere other 'Dooks,' but they are only small ! fry, whitebait, ' prone trash' alongside this three-decker. It was during the, last row in Taranaki that he came to" the front and remained there. He commanded the < bushrangers' — a determined body of local troops made up of men most of whom had a stako in the country. This corps did good service in the descrip tion of warfare unsuited to the highly- ' disciplined regular soldiers, At the same tune it must ho noted that the New Zea land colonists have never done justice to the ■ regular troops who cleared tho Waikato j Valley for them in 1863—a work which they ', would not have tried, or, trying, accom plished to tho present day. The ' irregulars,' who were good enough at ' bush-whacking' and guorilla warfare,would have never seen the inside of Rangiriri or Te Awamutu. Tho Maoris, in their expressive 'pigeon- : English,' used to call them, ' gammon , the sogers.' Tho ' Majah's ' triumphs in! tho field were overshadowed by his success in Parliament. In a New Zea- j land Cabinet he was as necessary as the ] Duke of Wellington at Windsor Castle ! when any domestic squabble set the servants talking. Like the Vicar of Bray, whatever I changes occurred, ho could always be found '! in tho same place. The hole was square, -j ho (the peg) was square, and nothing short of dynamite could shift him. It was only the other day ho ro-formod the present j Ministry, on Mr Whitaker's retirement, j Such are the men who will represent their colony at tho approaching congress." I

— [BY TELEORAI'JI.—PBESS ASSOCIATION.] Dunedin, Wednesday. The directors of the National Eire and Marine Insurance Company recommend the payment of 10 per cent, dividend for tho half-year, which, with the interim dividend in March, will be 20 per cent, per annum on the old capital.

In order to provide for the customary reinsurance of outstanding risks the directors recommend that the amount; necessary for this year—viz., £14,3„4—b0 taken from the reserve fund. The re insurance fund will then stand at £.3,715 boing the exact sum required for the purp ose. Notwithstanding the trying times that all underwriters have experienced during the last two years, your directors have confidence in the future substantial progress of the company."

VOLUNTEER NEWS.

At the Drill-shed last evening a meeting of the local Committee of the N.Z. Rifio Association was hold for the purpose of bringing up the report of the sub-committee appointed to confer with the Racing Club. Captain Leßoy occupied the chair, and there were also present—Captains Payne, Mahon, Dignan, Lieutenants Skinner and Clifton, and Mr E. Cooper, Secretary to the Association. Captain Dignan stated the result of the interview with the Committee of the Racing Club. The Committee were willing the ground should bo used for the purpose required— £20 being forwarded with the application from the Association for the purpose of putting the ground in order after the meet ing. Messrs Crowther and Peach also had no objection. Mr Cooper had written to the Chairman of the Remuera and Mount Wellington Highway Boards and to the New Zealand Rifle Association, asking the reason why reserve men wero excluded from competing for tho champion belt. Mr Bennett had also consented to act as as sistant secretary. After a somewhat protracted discussion about the programme of prizes and other details for the coming meeting, two resolu tions were carried, which were to the follow ing effect:—l. "That before any subscrip. tions be asked from the Auckland public, the Secretaryof the Association bo requested to state that all moneys collected will be added to the prize - list — the - prize lh. showing only £500 given by Govern ment, and the entrance fees, etc., being sufficient to cover all expenses." 2. "That a letter be sent to the Secretary of the Association informing him that as a very great deal of dissatisfation pre vails among members of tho Association, in consequence of no balance-sheet being pro duced, and with a view of making the forth coming meeting a succoss, the Secretary should immediately prepare a balance-sheet on account of last meeting, and have the same distributed among the several secretaries for the information of members of the Association as early as possible " The meeting then adjourned.

MRS HAMPSON IN SYDNEY.

(From the " Evening News.") Mr:j, Hampson's mission being now con cluded, we trust that it has been as satis factory to herself as to the converts she has made. We have not the slightest doubt as to the lady's sincerity in her cause, what ever we may think of its results." Nor do wa doubt that the 800 converts she has mado believe as thoroughly in their conversion just now as they do in Mrs Hampson and the memorial testaments she has presented to each of them. There is just one little point worth noticing. As for revivalist ex ercises Messrs Moody and Sankey may be cited unsuccessful examples. Both are clever and popular men, and the one ia re garded as a Chrysostom, and the other a Sims Rc-ves by those who know nothing better. Vliey managed to hit the public taste, /.id—make the best of it. Mrs Harojr jnalso strikes in the same direction, and sne is undoubtedly a clever person. The best proof of her sincoi'ity is that she has not mad« a. pecuniary profit, though she has been introduced here by those who know how tho religious oraclo is to ba worked. But her managers have made one mistake. They have termed her a " lady evangelist." Not for one moment would we question Mrs Hampson's title to be a lady, nor would wo dispute her claim to be an evangelist. Put the two terms together, however, and see how the aesthetic "lady evangelist" stands beside the majeatio "woman," hy which title Christ addressed his mother But then, to quote James Russell Lowell, John P. Robinson, he Judec! didn,,; everything down in Eighteen hundred and odd years ago the religious cad existed, but he was denounced after another fashion by the Master, who did not talk about " lady evangelists."
