THE ELOPEMENT.

Return of tho Truant Lovera.

Mra Hanson Endeavours to Throw Her-

self Undor tho Cari-iiiKe Wheels,

The announcement which we made in our Saturday evening's issue to the effect that Hans Peter Hansen and Mrs Campton, who eloped about a fortnight ago, would return in tho Wanaka, appears to have exorcised the effect of exciting somo interest in their return. When the steamer hove in sight soon after cloven o'clock yester day forenoon, a large crowd' of people had assembled on tho Onohunga Whaif'with tho object of welcoming the naughty but loving couple on their return. Some difficulty was experienced in discover ing the identity of the gay Lothario, but when Sergeant Greene boai'dod tho ship nil uncertainty on this scovo was set, at rest. His movements wero watched with considerable interest, anil he was soon ob served in the company of a fair-haired and li.'ht-beardcd man of somo thirty or tliirt.y five years of age. A young-looking woman withnbaby inner arms liovorcrt.nthovicimty of the officer, and it was very naturally con cluded that these were the truant lovers, and so it proved. The criticism of the as sembled crowd was not by any means in Hanson's favour. He is under tho average sue, and cannot be said to possess any ex ceptional personal charms which would be likolv to account for his wonderful lnlluonce over the femalo affections. It was con sidered quite probable that the spec tators would havo received lnhi with demonstrations of disapproval, but no thing of the kind happened. ihe cotiplo were evidently not anxious to face the assemblage, and waited patiently for tho people to disperse. But the people know a "game worth two of that, and "hold tho fort" so porsiscntly that at last thore were signs of a movement on the part of tho fugitive lovers. Under the convoy of tho burly but blushing Sergeant Greene, thoy left the vessel, the crowd opening right and loft to allow tho party to pass. Sergeant Greene took his prisoner to the Onehunga lock-up to await tho afternoon train, Mrs. Campton ac companying thorn and remaining outside.

Mrs Hanson on tho . Scone,

It had beon the intention of Mrs Hansen to meet tho steamer on arrival at the Ono hunga Wharf, but the 'bus by which sho was a passenger did not reach the township until something like half-an-hour after tho Wanaka had been berthed. Mrs Hanson was duly advised of tho whereabouts of her husband, and found her way to tho 1 ohco Station, where Mrs Campton was patiently waiting. Tho meeting between tho two women is described as having been a de cidedly sultry offair, in which Hashing eyes, looks of undying hatred, and contemptuous words played an important part. Mrs Hansen openod tho ball with tho satirical remark, " A nice thing you are, running away with my husband," to which shot Mrs Campton responded never a word. Mrs Hansen cuttingly inquired how "her lady ship "had enjoyed her trip to Nelson to which Mrs Campton courteously roplied " Vory much indeed.thank you.' Hore tho civilities ceased for a while, but semi suppressed mntterings gavo indication that tho smouldering lires of revenge and jealousy might bo expected shortly to turst into a fierce ftame. Contemp tuous remarks were mado on either Bide, and at last Sergeant Greene mado Ins appearance with tho prisoner, en route for theroilway station. There woro two mild little shrieks, two simultaneous rushes, and two loving femaloß wero seen clinging to the arms of tho adored Hansen. Sergeant Greene gallantly steppod back to give the women a show, and was heard to regret that there was not more of the Adonis to be caressed by the atleetionate creatures. Hansen was certainly m a position which would havo justified him in saving : — " How happy could I bo with either; were t'other dear charmer away.

Fight for Possession. It would naturally be supposed that each would bo satisfied with the pos sesion of an arm.but this was only the case so far aa Mrs Campton was concerned. She was evidently contented for the time with a'share of the affections of her " new lord," confident that in the end she would be the sole recipient of his caresses. But it did not please Mrs Hansen that her rival should be so far favoured, and some amuse ment was caused amongst the people who were watching tho party by the attempts which the legitimate wife made to diS ] possess Mrs Campton of the hold she had obtained. Sho pushed and shoved and pushed again, but the guilty female was obdurate. Mrs Hansen eventually lost patience, and dealt her rival a smart slap on tho face. In a moment, the women wero at each other like cats, but they wero separated before any serious damage was done on either side. Mrs Campton was handicapped in the com bat by the youngest scion of her house, which she had in her arms, while Mrs Hansen fought with all the deter, ruination and desperation which conflict with a hated rival would impart. Ihe railway platform was reached at last, and further amusing struggles to retain places by the side of the "much-loved Hansen " were frequent, although the task was not an easy one amongst the crowd. Hansen and his numerous escort entered the same carriage, and the choice of seats led to anothpr fr.ee fight, in which scratches were more numerous than blows. The females were separated with some difficulty, and looks and words expressive of scorn and hate wero again at a premium. Mrs Hansen Attempts Snleido.

Precautions woro taken to prevent tho possibility of another fracas, and it may be explained that theße consisted simply in keeping Mrs Hansen apart from her foe. Mrs Campton showed no desire whatever to display her pugilistic capabilities, and Appeared quite satisfied with her position in the aflfair. During the progress of the train towards Auckland, Mrs Hansen conducted herself very strangely. She would at times break out into a fit of weeping, and at others Would bo quiet and passive. \Vhen .New market was reached, she became more excited, and was repeatedly mutter ins to herself. At the entrance to the Domain tunnel, her feelings were more highly wrought than ever, and she rushed to" the door of the carriage with the declared intention of throwing herself under the wheels and taking her own life, bhe was caught by the dress barely in time to prevent the perpetration of the rash act. A con kiderable crowd had also assembled at the Auckland Railway Station to witness the arrival of the couple, and extreme curiosity Was evinced oh all sides. Sergt. Greene got his prisoner out as speedily as possible, and proceeded with him in the direction of the lbck^up, the devoted wife accompany ing her inconstant spouse. Mrs Campton Was 'interviewed at the station by her husband, who, it is said, requested h.r to return homo with him. bhe, however, refused point blank to entertain his overtures fpr reconciliation, and declared her intention of proceeding in searoh of a lawyer to defend her beloved Hans Peter. In pursuance of -Ins determination, she started at onco for the residence of Mr' E. Hesketh at Remuera, Campton accompanying her, She Was successful in her mission, and Mr Hesketh was duty c retained to appear on behalf of the object of her affections. Tins matter being then settled, Mrs Campton returned to town with her husband, and subsequently Proceeded with him to the residence of her father (Mr Anderson) in College Road, where sho remained.

Scene at the Police-station. The scene at tho police-station was really an affecting one. Constable Willio Kelly, the .-esthetic and curled acting lock up keeper, who is believed to pos sess a soft heart under a rugged exterior, was moved by the plaintive anneals of the wife to her husband, md endeavoured to effect a reconciliation. His advico to kiss and make it up was dis regarded by the adamantine husband although the wife appeared perfectly will ing to surrender unconditionally. Hansen M locked up in one of the cells, and his too-faithful wife expressed her determ.na to lie outside the door in order to be near to him. The lock-up keeper endea voured to dissuade her from this course but she silenced him withthe remark, After 1 had him brought back from Nelson, I am going to have him." She woo Id not leave the station, and threatened .that if sent away she would commit suicide. It then became advisable on the part of the police to ensure her safe in custody Sy also locking her up on a charge of attempting "suicide and this was done. She was hysterical during the night and the lock-up keeper had several toes to induce Hansen to speak'to her m order to feoothe her to some extent. She did not sleep during the night, and this morning her' eyes resembled ''holes burnt in a blanket." Prisoner In Court The Polico Court was completely crowded by spectators this morning, anxious to get a sight of tho fair young man, Foter

Hansen, charged with wifo desertion, boforo His Worship the Mayor and Mr H, do C. Martelli. Tho prisoner appeared quite composed under tlio circumstances, and mot tho gaze of the crowd with ap parently perfect composure. Mr Heskoth appeared in the case. Sergeant White stated the facts as narrated above. The Bench, however, said tlio case must be heard before the Resident Magistrate, and accordingly it was adjourned until Satur day next, Mr H. G. Selli Smith not being ablo to sit boforo that day. Prisoner was allowed bail, himself in £50, and one or two others to tho same amount.

Margaret Isabella Hansen, wife of the prisoner, was brought up on a charge of at tempting to commit suicide by jumping from a carriage while tho train was in motion, between Auckland and Onohunga yesterday. Mr Jackson appeared for Mrs Hansen, and pleaded not guilty, saying that sho was under great excitement at tho time, through seeing her husband with a married woman. A struggle naturally took place; and a few ineffective blows were struck. He would leave it to the Bench to commit or not, after the remarks of Mr Justice Gillies. Mr Heskoth addressed the Court on the main facts of tho .ase. Tho Bench persuaded Mrs Hanson to keep her self quiet, and not attempt to go near her husband before the hearing, and discharged her. Later Particulars. Hansen was bailed out this after noon by some friends, and loft the station in the company of his wife, to whom it is to bo hoped ho will be faithful in the future. She was employed in Bowon's boarding-house in Wellesley street when Hansen, who was a. boarder there,, first met hor, and sho left that situation in order to bo married to him. It is said that Hansen hasjbeon visiting at Campton's for about threo years, and that Mr and Mrs Campton lived unhappily. A comrade of Hanson's is engaged to Mrs Campton's sister.

AN UNDECIDED ELECTION.

A Closo Contest, Blundering Officials, nnd

Illegal Voting.

(BY TKLKORAIMI.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington-, This Day. The " Post"'of Saturday night says :—Tho actual result of the eloction for Foxton still seems doubtful. Owing to a scries of unfortunate mistakes in the first place, tho numbers from several of the polling booths as originally tele graphed have proved to be totally wrong. Then we learn that the Paikakariki returns are alto gether missing, and are supposed to be lost. Air. Wm. Scott was the Deputy Returning Olli cer nt this polling place, and from him we learn that the numbers polled were—Brown X), Izard 11, Wilson !). After the voting popers had been carefully gone through three tunes by himself and scrutineers, the papers were duly sealed up, addressed to the Returning Otlieer at Foxton, and deposited ill the hands of Mr. Grevillo, the local postmaster. This was on Tuesday night, and since then all trace of them has been lost. Mr. Wilson's majority, which was originally stated at 34, has, we learn by the telegram, been reduced on a scrutiny to one, tho Paikakariki returns of course not being included. If these were to hand, and tho numbers proved correct, Mr. Izard would have a majority of one. But here a fresh complication conies in. The Hon. J. Phnrazyn voted at the Tinakore Road booth, and it is an open secret that his vote was given to Mr. Izard. Mr. Phnrazyn is, by clause 17 of the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act, rendered incapablo of voting at any election, having within threo years been convicted of an il legal practice; and clause 21 of tho same Act provides that if any person so disqualified votes, his vote shall bo void. Of course if Mr Pha'razyn's vote were to give Mr Izard a majority of one. it would bo instantly challenged by Mr' Wilson, and in due courso, after the convictipn of MrPharazyii for an illegal practice, the Foxton returns would stand af a tie, and Mr James, tho Returning Otlieer, would have to givo his casting vote. The declaration of tho poll now stands adjourned until Wednesday, but if the missing- papers do not turn up, it will, we expect, bo extended to the latest'day hofore the writ is returnable, which is fith of August, If the return from Paikakariki is absolutely lost, tho Returning Officer will have to ondorso the writ in adcordnnce with such returns as ho has received, which of course would, as matters stand, be in Mr Wilson's favour, Mr Izurd being left to his remedy to upsot tho return by means of petition. It appears tho only way of bringing about a now eloction.

A Press Association telegram states:—Tho Paikakariki returns in connection With tho Foxton election havo been found, and sent on to the chief Returning Oflicer at Foxton, whero a scrutiny will be mado. Including this last re turn, Mr Wilson lias'a majority ot ono, but the declaration will not bo made until after tho scrutiny has taken place. '

FOOTBALL MATCHES.

Ponsonby v. Gordon. — This match was played on the Domain Ground on Saturday afternoon, and proved to be the best of the season. These clubs were ties for first place in the aggregate wins, and the struggle for supremacy was expected to be very keen. Consequently there was a large attendance of spectators, notwithstanding the unpleasant weather. Ponsonby had an exceptionally good team on the ground, and although Gordon had also strengthened its ranks wherever necessary, the " blue and blacks" were' warm favourites. The play was fast throughout, although the ground was soft and sloppy, and the result justified the expectations previously formed, Ponsonby winning by llpointe to nil. Davy secured the first try by a grand run, in which he successively passed all the Gordon backs. The angle was a difficult one, but Arneil rose equal to tho occasion, and kicked a splendid goal, Gordon was repeatedly forced down, and in fact was overmatched in every' department of the game. Still, they played with wonderful pluck through' out. Towards the close of the first term Whiteside made a good run, and, although collared twice, managed to get through. He was collared again on the goal line, but rolling over, managed to touch down, amidst the enthusiastic ph'eers of the spec tators. Arneil failed in'the "place." In the second term,; Whitcaido attempted to run, but was collared, and passed neatly to Anderson, who " potted" a goal very prettily. There was ho further addition to the score, and the match resulted :—Pon sonby, 11; Gordon, nil. Tho football match, Rovers v. Parnell 2nd, resulted in a draw, there' being no score on either sido. North Shoro defeated Auckland by 11 points to nil, while Victoria proved'victorious over Homo Bay Rangers by 11 points to 2. Newton won their match against Albsrt. Tattersalls and Parnell did not play owing to the latter team not turning up, St. George s de feated St. Stephen's Club by 6 points to nil Roseberry and True Blues was drawn, ea;h side scoring a try, while Roseberry 2nd defeated Sefton by a try to mi.

SUNDAY EVENING CONCERTS.

The following letter from Mr Superinten dent Thomson sufliciently explains tho action he took with regard to the prohibition of the Sunday evening concert referred to in our Saturday's issue :—■ N. Z. Constabulary District Office. Auckland, July 2.-ith. 1881. Sir,-Having been informed that a nonce* is to bo hold in your theatre (Abbott's Opera House) on Sunday evening next, the chargo for admission to which will be respectively Is, 2s Oil, ar.d Is, and that arrange ments have been made for steamers to run from

the North Shore on that evening, and suburban omnibuses to and from the theatre, I have the honour to point out that by adopting the above course re your thoatre you will be wilfully violating the law, and it will then bo my duty to institute a prosocution against you. I may mention for your information that tho most recent prosecution for the above offence was that brought against tho proprietor of the Royal Aquarium, Brighton, for holding a concert of sacred musio in that building on four successive Sunday evenings, and to which a chargo was made for admission. Although the proprietor was ably defended, the oil'ence was held to havo boen fully proved, and he was fined in {the full penalty of £200 por. night, viz., £800. On a sub sequnt Sunday evening the proprietor again opened the Aquarium, and, abandoning the concert, made the usual charge for admission to the building, when ho was again convicted and fined the full penalty of £200. Sincerely trust ing that you will not lay me under the necesai^ of having to institute similar proceedings in your own case.-I am, &c„ J. Bki._ Thomson, Officer in charge of Polico. Auckland District.

As to tho opinion obtained from tho ! Crown Prosecutor, wo should state that while Mr Hudson Williamson expressed his opinion that tho police could not prevont such entertainments being held, ho also added that the proprietor of any hall in which they might be held would bo liable to prosecution and punishment. His Worship the Mayor gives a direct contradiction to the statement that'ho had been consulted by tho promoters of the concert, and had promised to offer no oppo sition. Ho affirms that ho was never approached on the subject by any one. This morning Mr William Cooper, Presi dent of the Auckland Freetliought Associa tion, telegraphed to Mr Robert Stout, asking his opinion as to whether tho Act of tleorgo 111., having reference to Sunday performances—tho Act under which Mr Superintendent Thomson had threatened to proceed against tho Association— is in foic_ in the colony. Mr Stout sonds the following reply, " Considor Act not in force. Sco Baxter against Langley C.P.—Rom. Stoht,"

On other aspects of the question wo havo •eceived tho following letters : —

To the Editor: Sir,—l am constrained to ask you to favour mo with a small spaeo in your issuo of this ovoning re the snored concert of last night, and I may here remark it gavo me great pleasure to sco so many people desirous of hearing good music, though, as the " Herald " expresses It, I was froze out, though I hold six tickets, for which I paid is each. But would it not be better to hold the concert to bo given on Sunday next l» the afternoonf It is a most inconvenient time at night. 1 was rather amused to sco our worthy Mayor taking v wholesale, not a retail, viow of matters, and to hear the worthy reporter of the "Herald" expressing himself against people being paid for Sunday work, oblivious to the fact that ho was actually committing tho same offence himself.—Yours truly. Samukl Coomues,

To tbo Editor: Sir,—With your permission I desire to make v few remarks on this entertain ment. 1 think the concert was highly satisfac tory in a musical sense. The items wero of tho very highest and best character, and every per former acquitted himself or herself grandly. The concert was conducted In an orderly manner, and in viow of tho concourse of people, redounds credit to the management. But I am sor'y to say that there appeared to bo a regular organised plot made upof members of the so-called Rationalistic Association (a naino which, in tho opinion of many, thoy dis grace) for the purpose of upsetting the arrange ments. These gentry did all in thoir powor throughout the evening to raiso applause, but I am happy to say unsuccessf uUy.notwltlistanding the request made to the contrary, and the feel ings of propriety which actuated a large majo rity of that vast assemblage. If thoso men deny Christianity, surely they have sense enough left to uphold those most important attributes there of, namely, decency, order, and respect for tho feelings of our fellows. 1 urn not in favour of thoso Sunday entertainments for many reasons, some of which were mentioned in your Satur day's issue, which could lio urged; but as it was stated they would be continued, I would sug gest that boxos bo passed round to the people in their seats instead of tho mode adopted Inst night, and then pveryono would give a coin or look despicably mean, and tho ailiiir would bo a financial success.—l am, Sec, A Christian,

At tho leoturo delivered by Mr Isaac Solby last evening in the Lome - stroot Hall upon "The World that is, and tho World that ia to Come," tho lecturer in opening his discourse mndo some remarks upon the recent nction of tho polico in threatening prosecu tion both against the Opera Co. for thoir sacred concert and tho Rationalistic Asso ciation for their Sunday evening locturos. Mr Stout, he said, had been communicated with on the subject of charging for ad mission, and had wired back the following message : —" Would strongly adviso you to chargo. Polico have no power." Ho con sidered it exceedingly strango that Super intendent Thomson should only now have found out the existence of this law. Charles Bradlaugh had lectured for many years in tho Hallof Scionce, London, QnSundaycvenings, and no one had venturod to prosecute him. Moreover, tho question was recently tested in Christehureh, whero the local Free thought Association were prosecuted for holding Sunday evening lectures. On that occasion tho magistrate dismissed the case, saying that tho Bishop might just as well bo prosecuted for conducting services in the Cathedral. He was surprised that religious people should raiso such a huo and cry on the matter, seeing that Paul explicitly declared : " One man estcemeth ono day abovo another, and other men esteem all days aliko, Lot evory man bo fully persuaded in his own mind."

HOSPITAL COMMITTEE.

Tub Hospital Committee met in tho library of that building this morning.

Homeopathic Ward.—Colonol Haultain moved the motion of which he had given notice—" That tho memorialists be in formed that when the question of extended accommodation at the Hospital is undor consideration, tho Committee will pay duo regard to their wishes."—Captain Daldy seconded, and Mr Mackechnie moved, as an amendment, the erasure of tho words after pay, and the addition of tho following:— "bear their wishes in mind qnd fur ther consider them."—After discussion, in which the' visiting staff joinod, the amend ment was carried. It was resolved to. write to the secretaries of hospitals in othor colonios for information upon tho subject of homoeopathic treatment in hospitals ; and also to Dr. Grabham asking for his opinion. ADDirio>'Ai_AccoMMqDATioN.—Nodefinite reply had! boen received from Government as to handing over thoiinmigrants'qunrters at th§ old Hoßpital, and it was agreed that should the Committee's request be acceded to, the sick and bedridden inmates of both Refuges should be removed to one of the rooms, and a nurse en gaged to attend' to them. It appeared quite evident that these cases do not get the attention which they require, although, it must be explained, through no fault of the ma«ter or of the matron. Presentation. —The Committee were asked to present in some public manner to Mr John Stewart a testimonial from the inhabitants of Bendigo ' for services rendered by hjm to the hospital in that district. The matter Was refej-red to 'the Chairman, tho testimonial not having yot arrived, ' ' Several mjnor matters weye then dealt with. '
