POLITICAL JOTTINGS

V TELKGRAPH.-SPEtJIAL REPORTED.)

Mr Richardson and the "Railway Route

Wellington, this day. Mr. Richardson, the new Public Works Minister, is understood to bo favourable to the central route for the North Island trunk railway. Tho Mail Steamer Proposals. I believe tho proposal to subsidise tho Now Zealand Shipping Company will take tho form of granting a letter rate for a fortnightly service by direct steamers, alternating with the San Francisco service. It is claimed that tho movement, is not hostile to the San Francisco line, but friendly to it; that large payments arc being mado for tho Suez service : and that it would bo hotter to mako tin alternate mail direct. Mr Shoohan and tho Council. A rumour was current in tho lobbies to the effect that Mr Sheohan had received tho offer of a call to tho Upper Houso. . From inquiries I havo made, it appears to rest on a telegram received ft'om Napier, and no credenco is placed in it here. Mi* Stout's Return. Mr Stout, failing to catch any regular steamer, has chartered one of tho Lyttelton tugboats to brine him on to Wellington. Tho New Premier's Extravagance. It is estimated that Mr Stout's charter ing of tho Lyttelton Steam tug will cost up wards of £100, besides tho cost of a special train to Timaru. People are asking whether this oxponso, in addition to tho other losses by his absence, is to bo paid by the colony or himself. Captain Morris and tho Ministry. I believe thero is no probability of Captain Morris accepting a portfolio for somo days, though it is understood it has been offered him conditionally, 110 is generally marked off on tho cards, however, as the only Auck land man likely to vote for the Ministry.

THE THEATRICAL SCANDAL

In refcrenco to tho theatrical scandal, the following correspondence has been pub lished in a Melboumo paper. Tho first lotter, which is a somewhat extraordinary ono, is from tho absconding wifo, as fol lows :—

"Sir,—As you havo published all that James South has said against me, I hopo that you will kindly insert this in reply, as all that ho alleges* is utterly false* In the first placo ho says that I have taken somo of his (valuable?) luggage, jewellery, &c. I defy him to name ono single article for which I have not worked and paid ; but I loft sevoral things exclusively my own, thinking that they might bo useful to him. Ho also retains tho boxes of a costly dramatic wardrobo which belonged to mo before I foolishly married him. I am exceedingly sorry that I wroto tho letter I left for him. I tlid so simply to mislead him ; and I apologise most sincerely to Mr Harcourt Leo for having used his name as I did. Tho state ment that I lived with Mr Loo as his wifo •.vlien on tour with tho Opera Company_ is without foundation. This can bo easily proved. I told South several times elvring tho week beforo I left that if ho did net leave the hotoi I would, as I could not live with him any longer. There is not a word of truth in the statement that I bogged him to como homo as early as possible, and kissed him affectionately boforo he left for tho theatre. On the Tucsduy pre viously to my loaoing Melbourno wo went together to a solicitor's office to get a deed of separarion ; but, unfortu nately for me, tho solicitor was out, I havo been very unhappy in my marriage He ha. mined my health by his dissipation in every way. Whi'e travelling with the Montague- Turner Opera Company, Ismthim money every week, as ho was continually tele graphing mo for it, and I was then deter mined never to live with him again. When in Sydney he compelled me to stay in a low public-house frequented by tho lowest class of women, and whero gamblidg was carried on each nigbt. He asserts that he has lost £1,000 by my illness, but he evi dently forgets that the illness was brought on through overwork in his opera com pany, travelling second class in all weathers, nnd enduring hardships which he must have known a delicate woman like myself could not stand. Since his return to Mel bourne his conduct has been brutal and dastardly. Beforo tho people in the hotel ho appeared kind, but it was at tho risk of my life that I stayed in the samo room with him, as ho often threatened to shoot mo. Ho has struck mo before the chambermaid, and kicked and insuletd me, and when I remonstrated with him he tolei mo that I wa3 like a poodle dog—tho more he kicked mo the better I liked him. I was then suffering from' a severe illness, and was attended by Dr. Peel; and, although scarcely able to walk, ho compelled mo to keep my engagement, in the Opera House. He drow my salary himself, not one farthing of wnich I retained. During my illness he forced kimself into my bedroom against my wish, and insisted on conjugal rights. On my threatening to alarm the house with my screams, ho laughed, in forming me that a man " cannot rape his own wile." I shall not return to Melbourne until I have obtained a protection order, as I am thoroughly tired of working for James A. South aud his family. As ho ha 3 chosen to make my desertion of him public, in justice to me I trust you will kindly insert this letter. By doing so you will confer a very great favour on yours faithfully, Euitii Pbnder.—Sydney, July 28.

The Husband's Reply.

Sir,—As Edith Pender, to whom I havo unfortunately given tho right of calling herself Mrs J. A. South, has chosen to attempt to justify hor conduct, in half a column of misrepresentations (to use a mild term), I should liko to be permitted to give my version of the affair ; but, before doing so, I may just point out that the woman who will write ono deliberate falsehood as she herself has acknowledged over such an affair, will not scruple to cloak hor guilt by writing CO. She accuses me of taking hor to live in a low pub ic-houso in Sydney. The house alluded to is a most respectable ono. With regard to the statement that Mrs South had, during our married life, supported myself and family, every one in the profession in Australia knows this to bo an infamous falsehood. After our marriage, I organised an operatic company, and during the two years we were travelling in the provinces of New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria every expressed wish of my wife was at onco complied with. Afterwards for 15 montds, wbiie Mrs South was ill, and earning not a penny in her pro fe-sional capacity, I spared no expense to oecuro her recovery, keeping my company together in the meanwhile at great pecuniary loss, awaiting her return to health. It is true that sho expressed her intention of leaving the hotel if I did not, on my arrival from Sydney; but this was the first intimation that I had of arty coolness on her part. Previously to this, our relations woro always most affectionate, as her letters in my possession will prove, I am, and always havo beon, able and willing to support my wifo in every comfort, and even now, until the law dis solves us divorced. I am uito prepared to contribute towards her alimony. It is simply untrue that I ever threatened my wife's life. On the contrary, I always treated her (especially during her Jast ill ness) with the greatest consideration and tenderness. I acted as her nurse night and day while she was ill, and for two consecu tive nights never took off my clothes while I was watching her. I certainly drew my wife's salary while she was acting in the Opera House, and signed for it as her hus band, but she received tho full benefit of it. In conclusion, I should like to add that there are certain sate mentts in my wife's letter which I deem beneath my manhood to reply to. Although Edith Pender's letter is dated from Sydney, there is no question that it has been written near Melbourne, and the source of the in spiration is so evident that I need not point it out.-I am, &c, Jas. A. South.

A MISSING PROSPECTOR

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Napier, this day. Nothing further has beon heard of Moon light, the prospector, who left Tophouso with a man named Bailey five weeks ago, in tending to prospect Lake Station. A day or two after starting Bailey went out pros pecting, leaving Moonlight in the tent mending his clothes. On Baileys return Moonlight had gone, and nothing has been seen of him since. Search parties have been out, but without success.

Arrangements have been mado for tho holding of Church of England mission services in the Bayfield School-room every bbb- Sunday morning henceforth at 11 oclock instead of at 10 as heretofore. The Key. W. Calder will also officiate on tho first Sunday of every mouth at 3.30 p.m.

FATAL LANDSLIPS.

A MOTHER AND CHILD OVERTAKEN.

Narrow Escape of Sevoral Workmen,

An accident which might have occasioned the loss of a number of lives occurred shortly before five o'clock yesterday after noon at the excavation works in course of progress at tho Fort Britomart cliff. As our readers are aware, for somo months past a number of men havo boon engaged re moving the clill' on which Fort Britomart formerly stood, with tho view to forming a graded road from Princes-street to Customs-street East. Several thousand yards of earth have been romoved from the point where Fort-street ends in a citl-de-sae, and a considerable quantity of earth has also been removed from the main face of the cliff facing tho harbour. Shortly beforo knocking-oft'time yesterday, a large mass of debris, loosened by the rain slipped on to the roadway par tially burying several of the workmen and doing other damage. Customs-street is completely blocked by the immense mass of earth that has come away—variously estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000 cubic yards—and vehicular traffic between tho city and Parnell by that route is entirely suspended. Shortly beforo the accident, tho falling of small masses of clay gave in dication that a landslip was imminent, and all tho men engaged on the job, with tho exception of livo men in tho employ of Messrs W. and G. Winstone, wero, comparatively speaking, out of danger. Theso men wero engaged filling carts with ballast right nt the bnse of tho almost per pendicular cliff, when somo of the by standers raised a cry that tho cliff was falling. Tho imperilled workmen, seizing tho heads of two of the horses that wore yoked up, ran for dear life, and fortunately escaped tho main fall, though thoy wero caught by tho end of tho slip aad swept bodily outwards. Two of tho men, named Koso and Nealy, wero partially buried— tho former waist-high and tho latter up to his neck, but thoy escaped with a fow bruises. A telegraph boy named Dono van, who was passing at tho time, was struck on the ankle by a piece of stone, and sustained a severe bruise. Forrester, a carter in tho employ of Mr B. Keano, also had a narrow escape. He was driving an empty cart Pavnellwaids, and when passing the cliff hoard the warning cry that the slip was coming. Before he had timo to put the warning to any practicable purpose, tho cart was struck by a moat of clay, tipped over, and he found himself unscathed under his vehicle. One of his horses had its near foreleg broken, and was .subsequently killed by Mr Halstcad, V.S. Several carts belonging to the Messrs Winstono wore buried by the slip, and will cost a consider sum to repair. The noise made by the slip was so loud that tho sound was heard in Queen-street and thoro was soon a largo crowd of excited onlookers at tho sceno of the accident. The city authorities were soon informed of tho occurrence, and by their orders watchmen were posted all night at either end of the landslip to warn un wary passers -by of tho danger. From an inspection mado this morning it is evident that another slip is imminent. There is a large crack in the clill, and the next shower of rain will probably bring down a largo mass of earth. Tho landslip will no doubt prove a pecuniary advantage to Mr Magui.e, the contractor, though, of course, it will cause considerable temporary inconvenience to drivers of vehicles and others who have been accustomed te use tho road.

Blenheim, this day

A landslip yesterday at Onamatutu, bulled a child named Richard John Giles, ton of a minor, who was working in a tunnel closo by. Tho body of the child was cold whon got out after half-an-hour's digging. An inquest will be held. Tho child's mother was also buried to the waist, but escaped unhurt.

MINING NEWS

(by telegraph—own correspondent.)

Thames, this day,

Caledonian LowLevel.—Afterponetrating 3Sft. of exceedingly hard rock, the pros pecting tunnel has again entered favourable sandstone country. A small vein of white quartz has been followed through tho bar, and is still.in the face. A trial crushing of four loads of quartz from tho reef intersected several wooks ago has yielded lSdwts. of retorted gold. Tho return is quite as large as was anticipated, nothing having been seen when passing through the lode. Caledonian. —A now cross leader, six inches wide, has been discovered at No. 2 level in the hanging-wall of the Red Queen reef, but no gold has been seen. MoANATAiAKi.-Williams.tributer, banked 2-lozs. ISdwts. of gold, and Carter flozs. 3dwts.

One ton of quartz from a reef in Moa Creole district, South Island, is expected to arrive noxt week ex AVaihora for treatment at tho local battery.

TE AROMA TRAMWAY TROUBLE.

(BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Casibridoe, this day. The special meeting of Piako County Coun cil la^t night to consider tho question of Te Aroha tramway management lasted late into the night, but no definite result was arrived at. Tho resignations of Mr Firth, Chairman of the Tramway Committee, and Mr Adams, manager, wero read and re ceived. The report of various mine managers respecting tho working of tho tramway was also read. This testified to Mr Adams'sability, and thesatisfaction which he has always afforded in his capacity as man ager. Mr Chcpmell then brought forward a proposition to the effectthatthemanagement be temporarily vested in thepresentforcman, under the supervision of Mr Pavitt, civil engineer, which was negatived by three votes to two. A long discussion of soveral hours ensued re proposal to lcaso tho tram way, when it was agreed that tho final con sideration of tho matter bo deferred till next general meeting ; Messrs Firth and Adams to continue in management till then.

A convivial Mayor in one of tho villages near Pari3 recently attended a ball, and sooms to havo been so carried away by the n-aiety of the occasion that ho proposed to marry any person present, out of hand, who should bo desirous of undergoing that fatal ceremony. Tho hour was 9 p.m., which goes no littlo way to explain tho worthy Mayor's enthusiasm, on grounds not wholly unconnected with dinner. One couple accepted tho proposal, and the benevo lent official, immediately donning the tricolour sash, proceeded to tie the kpot. The parents of the young people, as may easily be imagined, do not ap prove of the proceedings, and as the bride and bridegroom insist upon remaining wedded, they have brought an action for outrage to morals. Tho Mayor's conduct is being officially inquired mto.and it is probablo that his ardour for tying the bonds of wedlock in such an impromptu fashion will bo ohecked.
