FATAL FALL DOWN A SHAFT.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The deceased was not seen when approaching the shaft, the doors of which had been left open for the purpose of lowering timber. Particulars of Deceased. Te Aroha, this day. The man Walter Adair, killed by falling down the Prince Imperial shaft at Thames, resided here. He was about 36 years of age, and was lately out of employment.

PARNELL RAILWAY STATION.

Deputation to the Hon. Mr Tole.

Captain McKknzie (Mayor of Parnell), and Mr Winks, Mr F. Ireland, and Mr Kidd (members of the Borough Council) waited upon the Hon. Mr Tole to-day respecting the re-establishment of the Domain railway station. Thejdeputation was introduced by Mr Moss, M.H.R., and Captain McKenzio stated the object they had in view. Mr Tole informed the deputation that he fully agreed with them, and would take care that the question was brought under the con sideration of the Minister for Public Works, in whose Department it rested. He had sent for I.Mr Coomb to be present, so that any difficulties that mignt bo in the way could be considered, but Mr Coomb was absent from town. Mr Moss suggested that it would be bettor to meet Mr Tole again, when Mr Coomb could be present, which was agreed to. The diffi culty, it was stated, is caused by the steep grament which it is alleged prevents the train being easily stopped or started in any convenient place; but against this it was urged that Mr Brogden found no difficulty, and kept the station open for a long time, while the population of Parnell and Grafton Road had so much increased since that the necessity of the station was now very much greater. Mr Moss pointed out the necessity also of a double line of rails from New market to Penrose as a cheap and easy means of remedying the great inconvenience caused by the crush and delays of crowded and frequent trains through the tunnel. He stated that he had brought this before the successive Ministers ond hoped Mr Tole would make strong representations to the present Minister on the subject.. Mr Tole promised to have it looked into, and suggested that the new lino projected round the beach might answer the purpose. In any cose, the deputation had his sup port, as he knew the circumstances, and they might depend on it that anything he could do should not be neglected. The deputation thanked Mr Tole, who promised to let them know when Mr Coomb could attend, so that they might meet him again.

THE RELIGIOUS FRENZY AT PORT ALBERT.

Continuance of the Excitement.

(B7 TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Port Albert, this day. Contrary to expectation, ths Auckland people who are attending" the " Holiness Camp Meeting" did not go home by steamer, and the sad scenes here are ex pected to go on for another week. There are six Aucklanders, including some young people, who show all the Bymptoms of religious mania, and refuse to leave the tent until they get "a call from the Lord" to do so. The father of one of them is, I hear, on his way up here to try what effect his authority will have. Though the signs of mental aberration are unabated, there have been no fresh de monstrations worth recording. It is earnestly hoped the "Camp"will soonbe ) broken up.

THE FREE LIBRARY.

Who Shall Seleot the Books?

At the meeting of the City Council last night, Cr. Upton moved:—" That the reso lution of the Council of May 1883 be res cinded as far as concerns the Public Library, and that a Library Committee be appointed. (2) That the Council do now proceed to the appointment of a Library Committee." In doing so he gave ahistory of the events which had led upto his taking action in the matter. The motion which he had now brought forward was virtuaily a revival of his former proposition. It was his belief that the library would never be really effective unless a lending department was set apart in conneclion with it whereby facilities would be afforded for perusing the works con tained therein by tho artisan class at their leisure. The system had worked so satis factorily elsewhere that it had been publicly stated at Newcastle that on an average a book passed through 10,000 hands before being lost. Ho did not wish to relievo the Library Committee of all responsibility, but merely to provide them with skilled assist ance enabling them to make selections wisely.

Cr. Montague seconded the motion for two reasons, viz., (1) that the Council had already decided upon the appointment of an Advisory Committee, and (2) that as the Library Committee had refused to nominate such Advisory Committee, the Council would be merely stultifying themselves un, less they proceeded to give effect to their de cision. If the Library Committee were un willing to accept the instruction given them, then it only remained for them to resign.

Cr. Mackechnie said thathehad given his own notice of motion in order to meet the case .aised by Cr. Upton, so that in the event of that gentleman's proposition being rejected, there might still remain something before the Council.

Cr. Garrett expressed a preference for Cr. Mackechnie's notice of motion and characterised Cr. Upton's arguments as lame in the extreme. Cr. Mackechnie's proposition would not confine the applica tion for advice to gentlemen resident in tho city.

(Jr. Waymouth considered that there should be a separate Committee for the Library instead of the work being laid upon the shoulders of the Legal Committee. Cr. Aickin would have been glad to see the motion withdrawn for lie was sure that it would subserve no good object. As one of the Library Committee he felt that the motion reflected upon them coining as it did upon tho heels of certain advorse com ments in a section of the press. Ho was entirely with Cr. Upton in principle, but as he did not wish to lmjjly any censure upon his colleagues, he urged the withdiawal of the proposition, Cr. Masefield regretted the tabling of the motion in its present state,

Cr. Cooper supported the motion, be lioving that the Committee had no right to set themselves in opposition to the Council. Cr. Mackechnie defended the action of the Library Committee in having the courage of their convictions by reminding the Council that on inconsistent course was being pursued. Cr. Upton's whole object was to secure an advisory committee outside the Council, and this he did notapprove. It would form a dangerous precedent, which, if followed out, would reduce them to automaton. They would equally require an advisory committee of butchers to nelp in managing tho slaughterhouse, and an advisory committee of architects to shape their action with regard to public build ings. Cr. HCrowther proposed as an amend ment that Cr. Upton's name should be added to the Library Committee, feeling assured that he would prove a most valu able member. The Council had had no reason whatever to find fault with the Library Committee. Cr. Annus* seconded the amendment.

Cr. Upton declined emphatically to accept election, and asked all who weae friendly to him to vote against the'amendment.

The Mayor remarked that it would not be necessary to purchase many books for some time yet, but meanwhile funds were accumulating, £200 interest on the Costley bequest having been received the other day. The Council had altogether spent only £350 upon new books, but, judging from the noiso raised in the press, one would have thought that the expenditure had been from £3,000 to £3,500, and that £3,000 of it had been misspent.

Cr. Upton having briefly replied, the motion was put and lost.

KAWHIA AND THE DRINK TRAFFIC.

This afternoon a deputation consisting of Messrs J. Newman, E. Mitchclson, M.H.R., W. F. Buckland, M.H.R., and Alfred Cox (Secretary of Blue Ribbon Mission), inter viewed the Minister of Justice to press upon him the advisobility of including Kawhia within the district over which the sale of drink was prohibited. Mr J. Newman, who acted as spokesman, stated that a petition, signed by both natives and Europeans, had aeen presented to the Government, asking them to pro hibit the sale of strong drink within the Kawhia district. The King natives them selves and all the influential chiefs were anvious for this result. A report, however, had gained currency to the effect that the Government designed to exclude Kawhia from the operation of the prohibition, and great uneasiness had been caused thereby. The Hon. Mr Tole replied that the matter had been before the Government, and his own impression of the decision arrived at was that Kawhia should be in cluded within the area over which the sole of drink was interdicted. However, to make certain, he would at once telegraph to the Native Office at Wellington for in fdhnotion, and let Mr Newman know the result.

The deputation oppressed their acknow ledgements, and withdrew.

It is a pity that the London papers do not report many of the gems of eloquence of the minor Conservative lights. Here is the reportof a speech delivered by the Hon. and Reverend L. Irby in seconding a vote of thanks to Lord Carnarvon at a Conservative picnic in Hedsor Park, as reported in the "South Hants Free Press":—" The Hon. and Bey. L. Irby, who said he had come 100 miles to attend that meeting, seconded the motion. In the course of his remarks he said he thought they would agree with him that his nephew, Lord Boston, of whom he was very proud, was 'a very pro mising pup.' (Laughter and cheers.) He stated that the present Government got into ofllce at the last election by 'evil speaking, lying, and slandering '—these words were in tbe Catechism—and con cluded by putting a conundrum to his hearers. The original was:. • Why does the grand old man wear such high shirt collars?' but he preferred to put it thus: 'Why does the grand old: artful dodger wear such high shirt-collars?' The answer was: 'To bide his infernal cheek.' (Great laughtpr.)" '■-.-;■'■■ v ■.>''•' '•

Mr Milner Stephen!-Another Wonderful Cure of Cancer I (To the Editor of the Star.)



Sir.—May I beg the favour of your publishing the following testimonial of another wonderful cure of cancer by mo, with the solemn declara tion of Mrs Hervld, made before His Worship the Mayor? It Is the only reply I shall con descend to make to the ill-natured letter of the Rev. C. Carter in your Saturday's issue respect ing the " very slight improvement" his ear had received at my hands, as I have already answered his duplicato letter In yeßterday s " Herald." A candid public will then judge for themselves whether it is reasonable to doubt the healing power of a man who can, by placing his hands upon a sufferer, and that in the presence of 160 spectators, instantly relieve her of all pain, and enable her to get rid of an lmmonse swelling, pronounced a Cancer by eleven doc tors. Mrs Hervld will to-morrow evenlncattend thepublic healing at Bt. James's Hall, with other patients who have been cured in public—l am, &c. G. Milner Stephen. Lower Symonds-street, Deotmber 3,1881. Auckland, in tho Colony of New Zealand (to wit). I, Mary Ann Hervid, wife of Jeremiah Hervld, of Groy-strcot, Auckland, in the Colony of New Zealand, labourer, do solemnly and sin ooroly declare that the annexed paper writing, marked respectively 1, 2, 3, i, . and 0, contains a true and faithful account of all the facts and occurrences thorein Bet forth, the samo having boen now reod over to mo In the presence of His Worship the Mayor of Auckland, aforesaid; and I make this solemn declaration conscien tiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of an act of the Gonoral Assembly of Now Zealand, entitled "Tho Justices of the Poace Act, 1882." Mart Ann (x, her mark) Hervid. Declared at Auckland, New Zealand, this third day of December, 1881 (the same having first been read over to the said Mary Ann Hervid), before me. (Bd.) W. R. Wadoel, Mayor of Auckland and J.P. of Now Zealand.



[To the Editor of tho Evening Star.l Sir,—l and my husband are vory sorry to read in your paper that anyone should not believe in Mr Milner Stephen's cures. I am willing to swoar before a Magistrate that what I say is truth. I have hod a cancer in tho stomach for about 18 months, and as many as eleven doctors have attended me. without any good. At lost I went to Mr Milner Stephen, who took away my vlolont pain at once. 1 havo been three times to tho public healing, and three or four times to Mr Stephen's private room in Overn Lodge, Symondsstroot, and I have found myself better and better each time, and I believe I am cured of that dreadful •dlsoase. It was tho doctors who all said I had cancer, so I belioved them. lam much smaller now than I was, as the lump hos gono away. Before I came to Mr Milner Stephen I could not keep food on my stomach, and was so weak I could hardly walk. Now I can eat what I could not look at before, and my food keeps down. My husband has had a bad leg for more than nine years, and suffered dreadful pain. He was a month in the Hospital at Exeter, in England, and got a little better, but he did not lose the pain, and the sore broke out afrosh. He bos been very bad now for many weeks, and only worked a day now ond then with groat difficulty. Ho wanted to go into the Auckland Hospital, but was told they could not cure him, so he did not go in, but had a lotion given to him, which did not relieve him. He went to tho public healing three weeks ago, and Mr Milner Stephen took away his pains entirely, and he has not hod them since. He is now using magnetised salve, and believes he will soon be quite well and able to work again. Ido not know what I should havo done to pay my rent and buy food for the post three weeks but for Mr Milner Stephen's kind help. My neighbour, Mrs Nertny, who went to the noil lost night to be treated for rheumatism, asked me this morning to thank Mr Stephen for curing her, as she could cut bread for her breakfast to-day, which she has been unable to do for the last three weeks. The Rev. Mr Tebbs, of St. Matthew's, our minister, gave us a letter of recommenda tion to Mr Milner Stephen, and knows the truth of all I have stated.—l am, &c, Mrs Jeremiah Hrrvid. Grey-street, Anokland, November 29,1681.
