SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

A torrible calamity happene'l in the neighbourhood of Toronto, Canada, on the Grand Trunk railroad, on the morning of January 2nd. By Iho collision of a car attached to a dummy engine, and carrying tho employe's of tho Holt Works to theft daily labour, with a freight train, some 25 or 30 persons wove killed. The accident occurred nt tho rounding of a sharp curve, just before reaching the Bolt Works. The engineer saw tho freight train coming thundering down tho track towards him. Ho reversed his engine, blew a warning whistle, and, with tho fireman, jumped for his life. The conductor heard the warning, and shouting "Jump, boys, for your lives !" sprang into the 'snow, In a second uioro there was a terrible crash. Tho engine of tho freight train knocked the boiler of the dummy clear through the first car, crush ing tho unfortunate passengers in every direction, and pinning many to the floor. The impetus was so great that tho engine actually mounted the truck of the dummy, which kept the rails, and remained on a balance. Tho engineer of tho freight train, when he saw a collision was inevitable, sprang from his engine, but his : firoman was killed instantly. To add to tho horror of the Krone, the boiler of the dummy exploded, and the steam scalded and carried dcint.h or terrible in juries to the mangled and bleeding men. Then lire broke out, and completed the sickening work of destruction. No more awful scene could bo witnessed. The dead were taken to the morgue, and tho wounded, as quickly us possible to the hospital. One man, John llowlette, died shortly after ho arrived. When found among tho debris ho spoke cheer fully, and asked to bo allowed to walk. On looking down, ho cried, " Oh, God ! my legs are oil;" and so they were, burned oil. Barber, conductor of tho freight train, to whose ignorance of the time-table the acci dent was due, was placed under arrest. Public subscriptions had been started for tho benefit of tho wives and families of the survivors, and money flowed in freely. Lunsdowne, the Governor-General, sent 2,500 dois.

A TEARFUL SHIPWRECK.

Over One Hundred Lives Lost.

Despatches of January 18th report tho total loss of the steamship City of Columbus, boloncing to the lino between Savannah and Boston, and tho loss of more than one hundred lives. Tho scene of the disaster was on a reef called Devil's Bridge, off Gay Head, near Now Bedford. The steamer loft Boston at 3 o'clock on tho afternoon of tho 17th for Savannah, and struck at 8.45 tho next morning. The cause seems to have been want of attention by the pilot, as he told apassenger who was in the rigging with him after the vessel struck that ho had fixed the course of tho vessel and fastened the wheel, and, as ho was very cold, went to the smoke stack to warm him self. He remained there twenty minutes, and whon he returned to his post he found tho ship had veered round. When ho as certained that tho vessel was among tho rocks, and it was probably impossible to save her, ho put her right in shore, and ran her as higli as ho could, with tho result that, although she drew seventeen feet of water, her foro foot was in eleven feet. Amongthose who perished wero Oscar Isiagi, tho Turkish Consul-General, and a journalist named Mor ton, of tho Boston "Globe," going south for his health. Onc-tliird of the passengers wero women and children, not one of whom, so far as ia known, is saved. One survivor 1 says it was fearful to see tho women swept oil. Some rushed on deck with their hus bands, and as tho full force of the storm broko upon them, realising all was lost, they threw their arms around their hus band's necks and bado them good-by. A few moments Inter they wero swept over board. A mother, with her child held tight in her arms, was borne away by tho waves almost beforo reaching tho deck. Not ono woman reached tho rigging, and a majority wero washed overboard by tho waves. A number were probably smothered in their berths. Tho steward, who was in tho rigging with about forty othors, says thoy clung to the : shrouds with their fingers benumbed, and 1 with floating corpses and debris at their feot. Occasionally ono of his companions would, from exhaustion, loso his hold, and drop into the raging sea, but most of thoso who wero fortunate enough to gain tho rigging wero rescued. Tho captain, S. E. Wright, was saved. Out of a passenger list of eighty, and a crow of forty-five, only fcwenty-nino wero saved. The town of Bedford, Mass., was full of people on the 20th, looking for tho bodies of relatives and friends; but thero was such a deplorable lack of system in assembling tho corpses rescued from tho sea that they were scattered to all points along tho coast.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORREBPO.VDF.NT.]

TE AROHA.

Te Aroha, Saturday. New Fm>. — Since the resumption of crushing two buckotsful of uncleaned and unsqueezed amalgam have been taken from tho plates. Clearing up will take place on Monday, when amalgam will be .squeezed. During the current week the four berdans employed on Company's tail ings have produced 52ozs. of liot-water squeezed amalgam. Prior to this, 73 ounces hnd been obtained from tailings, and 81 ounces from blanketings, so that there are 200 ounces ot shot squeezed amal gam already in hand, tho retorting of which will go to swell the next month's return. Tlie reef in the Arizona tunnel is perhaps better than any other part of the mine. A half-penny weight to the dish can be washed. Driving operations have been sus pended in Arizona tunnel during the past few days; men are being engaged clearing tho shaft sunk on tho boundary. This has been loft full of quartz, and the ventilation of tho works was impeded thereby. It is impossible to estimato tho value of tho discovery of gold - bearing atone in tho Arizona tunnel. Although only ten feet of the reef has been opened out, it is evident that tho gold bearing run of quartz extends at least 500 feet through tlie Company's ground, while the fino clean walls and undisturbed sandstone country hold out every hope that the shot of gold will bo found to go down wards. The new berdans start work on Monday. 25 head of stampers are going to tho New Kind and 10 for tho Colonist.

Referring to the rumour that Messrs Firth and Clark have bought Stacey's water-right, the "News" says: "Wo sincerely hope that tho reportisnotcorrect. Thesuccession of unpleasantness and misunderstandings that have resulted from the connection of the.se gentlemen with the field renders it impossible for those who havo the interest of the place at heart to look with equanim ity on an increase of their interest and influence." Further on it says, "And quite apart from all other consider ations, we conceive that tho fact of ono syndicate possessing the only two available water-rights on the field can not fail to be detrimental to its best in terests. At any rate, the circumstance contains a rampant element of danger." The article goes on to urge the Inspector to do his duty, suggesting that he should givo the owners of the water-right notice that if it is not at once used it will be forfeited. Tho article concludes: "The Mining Inspector will r.ot bo deserving of the character he pos sesses for impartiality and probity if for a day longer than the law permits he allows the interests of tho whole community to be dallied with for the occult purposes of speculators or philanthropists, for in our degenerate days these two widely differ out terms seem to have become synony mous."

MICAWBERISH TAURANGA.

An Honest Criticism.

(IIY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Tauranqa, Saturday Last night's " Telegraph" has nn excellent leader denouncing in plain language the undue anxiety nnd excitement regarding the proposed railway to Rotoruo, which, to the exclusion of oil matters, is absorbing attention. The article contrasts Tauranga and Waikato as follows :—"Wo do not desire to underrate the benefits which must necessarily follow the railway—the opening up, and lot us hope tho settlement of-the land along its line, being the most important of any ; but it seems a great pity — a lamentable state of things—that in a virgin district, such as this may be said to be, all agricultural operations worthy the naino are wholly unknown. Last night we published an extract from a, private letter we received from the Waikato, written by one of tho leading and most truly reliable men in tho Waikato distriot, stating that the crop this season, If successfully saved, moans 'at least a gain of £50,000.' Now, hcrolics the secret of Waikato's forwardness, Tho settlers are not everlastingly looking out for periodical blessings to turn up from England and elsewhere. No; while we here in Tauranga are always looking for some outside impetus, they are putting the plough into their land, whioh is for the most part not a whit bettor, if so good, as Taurangft land, and sowing it with grain ; making two blades of grass grow where only one grow the year before. In short, they work out their own salvation. The result is real thrift, real substan tial comfort in the farm - house, and a twenty-pound note to spend, unaccomr panied by a wonder -where the next is to come from. We say most emphatically that all tho periodical starts Tauranga has made since 1876 have done more real harm than any seeming good. Witness the rows of empty cottages, onoe full of 'new chunis' who have (spent their all and are no more. * Until Tauranga people will accept and bo content with the ordinary every day life of a New Zealand settlement, and wait for time to work its own way, any prosperity tho place may seem to enjoy for a season or two will be found only superficial, and relapses will most certainly follow each 'spurt' as surely ac they hitherto havodone,"

"Subscriber" writes oomplainlng of the generally unsatisfactory way in whloh the inquest was conducted on the bodies of the two men who lost their lives by the flre at Helensville. He says i—" Wo had two of the principal witnesses on the jury, when there wore plenty of men available in the room; in fact, the coroner had to call on some gentlemen to retire, as there were too many. Evidence that might have been brought forward to identify the men was not forthcoming, suoh as a knife found under one of the bodies known to belong to him, &c. The men who first found and pulled the bodies out of the flre were never called, while the evidence taken simply proved nothing so far as the poor men were concerned. Some of the jurymen seomed to think that gross neglect might be laid at someone's door ; others, that the men were drunk; but both, coroner and constable were determined to protect the witnesses from a too searching inquiry. In fact, most of tho time was taken up by such questions as thoso: —Polioeman to witness : Did you ever see me lock the deceased up for being drunk ? Did you not see me doing my best to save life and property ? &c." The question of finance gave rise to some discussion at the meeting of the Board of Education on Friday. The Chairman ex. plained that at the request of the Board he had waited upon the Premier and Minister of Education in Wellington, He had two interviews, and, strange to say, a deputa tion from the Board of Eduoation of Wel lington waited upon them on the same day. Mr Hobbs read a newspaper extract giving an account of tho proceeding! at the local deputation. A similar answer to that was given to him. The Minister stated that their means were limited, and that Parlia ment would have to decide whether any further grants should be made. He had been supplied with the following copy of a statomentshowingthedistributionof £50,000 according to population among tho several Education Boards for school buildings for ISS3-84:—Auckland, £9,652; Taranaki, £1,042; Wanganui, £2,730; Wellington, £4,007; Hawkc's Bay, £2,159; Marl borough, £S4O; Nelson, '£2,807 j North Canterbury, £9,439; South Canterbury, £•2,230; Grey, ±770; Westland, £1,054; Otago, £10,C2S ; Southland, £3,100. Total, £50,000. Mr Hobbs further mentioned that lie had been told that the grant would probably bo smaller next year, and it would bo well that this fact should be borne In mirtd. In reply to Mr Cooper, the Chairman said they wore overdrawn to the extent of £4,000 odd. Mr Buckland added that they would corte out about square when tho allocation was takon in. Mr Theo. Cooper pointed out that until next session they were actually insolvent, their present liabilities being £1,000 more than assets. It was stated that tho financial year would end in March, and the Chairman pointed out that they were in no bettor position at this time last year. Messrs Goldie, Cooper, Clark, and tho Chairman were appointed.a Finance Committee to consider the position.

BICYCLING.

{ John Rolfs, Esq., champion bicyclist of Eng- J land and Australia, who at present is open to run a long-dißtanco race with any bicyclist for tho championship of the world, gives his per sonal experience of the valuublo properties of St. Jacob's Oil, as used by him in his recent I contest with Jno. Watson iior the championship ' of Australia

268, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria, 23rd November, 1883. To tho Editor Auckland Evening Star.

Dear Sir,—l desiro to add my cheerful endorse ment of the good effects I have at all times re ceived from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when In active training and racing. During my recent 0 days' eontoat held in tho Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and the championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it beforo i and after each day's performance, and the re suits simply astonished mo. After riding for 8 : consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past , 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become soro and stiff from .over-exertion, but after being well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh aB ever. As proof posltive.af ter the contest was over, I rodo 10u miles against time beforo a pub lic audience and accomplished it in G hours 11 minutes 45J seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive it aided m c to win the match and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all " wheelmen " and othor athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced thoir experiences will compare- favour ably with my own. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, John Rolfk. CRICKET.
