SUICIDE AT TE AWAMUTU.

A Railway Fireman iilioots Himself Til rough Disappointed Lovo.

News was received in town today of a suicide under very sensational circum stances which occurred at the Te Awamutu railway station yesterday afternoon. Tho deceased who lias been guilty of the rash act is a young man named William Henry Morgan, employed as a fireman on the railway works ac Te Awamutu, and who in known in Auckland. Information re ceived by Superintendent Thomson is to the effect that deceased was in the railway building during tho afternoon, and taking a muzzle loading gun charged with powder and shot, he placed the end of the muzzle in his mouth and pulled tho trigger with his toe. His head ivas badly shattered and disfigured, and death was instantaneous. The cause of the tragedy is disappointed love. Ar. rancements were made by Constable Gilliee for an inquest to be held at eight o'clock this morning. Deceased was a young man, aud his father, Mr Robert Morgan, lessee of the Domain, rosides at Newmarket, ■ and has been communicated with. He statea that he was not aware that any rupture had occurred between the rash young man and his sweetheart; and the girl, who also lives at Newmarket, is in great distress over the tragedy. She had, it appear/", gone to the railway employes picnic with another young man; and thia or some other little circumstance distressing to lovers had pressed upon young Morgan s mind, and led him in a moment of despera tion to commit the deed above recorded.

ACCIDENT IN WELLESLEY STREET.

Voranhah Carried Away and a Cart

Smashed.

So.mk excitement was caused in the lower part of Wellesloy-street, between three and four o'clock this afternoon, by the sen sational exploits of a runaway horse. The animal in question belongs to Mr F. C. Thomas, Mount Roskill Road, and at the time of the occurrence was attached to his spring cart laden with bags of oats. Turnfng from Elliott-street into Wellesley-street the back-band of the harness broke, and tho horse becoming frightened, tore down Wel lesley-street instead of proceeding up it at a more reasonable pacoasdesired by thedriver, When opposite the Opera House tho hors-j and vehicle came into violent contact with the circular irjn post which sup ports the verandah of Mrs Coster's and Mr Ayros's shops. The support proved to be a hollow, cast iron one, and offering but slight resistance to tho opposing weight, snapped liko a stick. Horse and vehicle described several somersaults on the pave ment, whilo the breakage of tho post caused ono side of the verandah to fall. Strangely enough, tho horse was extricated without having wtistainod any injury, but tho cart was badly damaged, the shafts, axle, &.c, being broken. A largo crowd of persons were attracted to the spot liy the disply of wreckage on the footway

SPORTING NEWS.

The Dunedin Autumn Meeting.

Dcnedin, this day,

Owing to :he cold this morning work was started late. Notwithstanding yesterday's rain, the course was in fair order, though slippery. Prospero and Adamant were sent over the Cup distance. Adamant went well for a time, then seemed to have enough of it. Taiaroa and Hazard went onco round at pretty nearly top speed, both moving well. Molly Bawn ran away from Sunlight in tho first mile, and Coupon showed improved form in a milo gallop. Mata did two miles, moving very stiffly. Nonsense led Vanguard a quiet canter over the Cup course, tho former ovidently being very fit. Her stylo was generally admired. Lady Emma wont about tho Cup distanco, at three quartet speed, most of tho way spurting occasionally She also seems to bo in pretty forward con dition. Master Agnes, and Mermaid did slow work.

Tho Takapuna Jockey Club have altered the date of their Autumn Meeting to tho sth of April. Soveral alterations have also Oeen made in the programme.

In tho articlo which appears on the second page of this issue, concerning tho "Mignon" and " Wilmer" pianos, tho name "Riinisch " is misprinted "Eouisch." It will bo soon from our City Council report elsewhere that, subject to certain conditions, the first premium for the best design for a Tree Library and Art Oallery ia to be awarded to Messrs Grainger and D'Ebro, of Melbourne (" Liter.-c, Scientic, ot Artes "), and tho Recond ono to Mr N. Y. A. Walw, of Dunedin (Tataria). Mr Wales holds the rank ot Major of Volunteers, and is now in Auckland awaiting the opening of the colonial prizo firing, in which ho intends to take part. It will be remem bered that when the firing last took place in Auckland, Major Wales won tho Cham pion Kifle Belt.

The Auckland public havo just missed the chance of seeing Professor Payne ox pose the secret of his tricks of legerdemain and conjuring. Ha gave tho usual per formance last night, ami it was an nounced that to-night he would explain the modus operandioi his cabinet trick, &c,, In the meantime, however, tho Royal Comic Opera Company have bought out the shootist's leaso of the Opera House, tho Professor will not again appear, and the mystery surrounding his clever illusions must therefore remain unsolved for the present.

A singularly simple and serviceable set of instruments for barbing plain wire fencing already erected was sbejvn to us yesterday by Mr McClennan, travelling agent for tljo inventors and patentees, Messrs Woodcock and West, of Oamaru, The tools consist of a pair of stout pincers, which grasp thflwire to b,e operated upon. A couple of barbs are then inserted into groovesoneithersideofthefaceofthepincers, and with twoturnsof a gripper, which catches and twists them the operation is complete, and a four-pointed barb is the result. The method .of working is so easy and expedi tious that we .can readily credit the state ment that a boy may barb 20 or 25 chains of standing wire in a day. Mr Me, Clennan deals only with the trade, but the tools may be purchased retail for about 22a 6d. The barbs are cut into lengths, and sold in 1001b. boyes. Tho barbing instruments were shown at tho Christchurch Industrial Exhibition, where they excited much notice. M>.srs Wood house and A¥est are also manufaqtuvors pf single strand and dark steel twisted gal vanised barbed wires.
