THE ROTORUA RAILWAY ROW.

Ffl U«. TUMI" With tho Maori •» jimnzons.

MR FAUOK and his staff proceeded to the » bridge (whloh la about 12 miles ! ilorrineville), on Thursday morning, !Toma.en« the work of platelaying over Lecture. On arrival, thoy discovered M »ber of native men sitting on the U. at about a chain from tho Momns- A end, o pole carrying a whrte flag j- . 'no in the middle of tho group. ****** 'ljd an either sido until the Nothing wm ««■« ™ t „, horo the fl «*J»irf Mr Wn then quietly *MS^ to natives, who numbere.l S2SS to move out of the way Thoy *," ll ravine that tho land was Fallon then turned to his men 3 told thorn to go oh laying the sleepers. 9 nd tola mo hatives seized the sleepors aSSS riv\r. This specif of *»5 waß indulged in for somo timo, t afZrJheZ T to get monotonous the r lX r caufed the rail trolly to be run W _^cud ofthe rails already laid, and J P-forward anumberof men instructed SBBBS the rails and lay them down. Wed. the Maoris turned their attention llS nev toy bo thoughtfully provided for STwd endeayoured to send the iron S tha timber. This however was too H even * a man of Mr Fallon's equable SSnt and he told his men that S must be preserved. This was tlio J„Sr a rough and tumble but at their Kyert urgent request the men nb- S 5 from resorting to violence, though Tit must be admitted without a little St of reluctance. .They were told to Tl„» the natives off the bridge, a task W no mea«B easy of accomplishment Meantime a new element was introduced into the dispute. The women of tho tribe, maiming about as many as the men, who °pto this time had remained on the other %M the river, now came on the bridge with Ls which they p»«9through the fish ffhoto in the taile/iihd tried to pull thorn ; S Mr fallen, at considerable risk, literally wjked over the Maori men, and cut the ropes wlioh tho Amazons had fastened to the Mils, but when he called for assistance So natives rented the Vorkmen to such tnrposethat MrFalWh was obliged to re tirealso, mtom 'escaping a fate similar »o Alt Wflch Wd befallen the sleepers. Batthe cdntrtltitor, though checked, was Mtwdffi'ted. 'On the narrow bridge it was ■not possible'to bring the wholo, or even a majority of his men.into action at ono point lobe changed Ws tactics, and with a de tabbment forded the river a quarter of a iiulo higher np, with the intention of taking tho enemy in tho rear. But tho women grasped the situation instantly, and crowd ing on to the so .them end Of the bridge, formed a strong barrier between tho belli mtents. They were requested to cotne off, flat they refused, and from boing ex cited became almost frantic, gesticulating wildly, and filling tha air with the moat tirfttl yells. Mr Fallbn cogitated for a teßßsnt, md then told his men to remove the women quietly, whereupon the latter Amoved so much of their clothing as to leave little to be torn off their backs in the rebsequent Btrnggle. After a great deal of trouble, tiie women were eventually carried off one at a time, kisking, plunging, scream hg, and indulging in language which was 'fortunately, unintelligible to their captors. Mr Fallon's men then formed a guard ;on tbe southern end of tho bridge, Wt tbe womea plunged into the stream, Jnd many of them endeavoured to climb up tbo piers. By thia time tho Europeans were reinforced, and tho operation of carry ing off the obstructionists was applied to the male portion, with tbe result that tho Iridge was speedily cleared. The natives then, finding that Mr Fallon was king of the top of the bridge, got underneath, and armed nith axes commenced to chip away at the piles, and to remove such of the ironwork as was within reach. The per mtnent way in the meantime was laid down more than half way across the bridge, when work was ended for the day, the con tractor having carried hia point. In tho afternoon Mr Fallon returned to.Morrins ville, where he met tho engineer of the com pany, Mr James Stewart, and in company with that gentleman drove into Hamilton in the evening for the purpose of putting the matter in the hands of tho police. After consulting with Sergt. -Major Mc- Qorernand Mr W. M. Hay, Mr Fallon last night laid an information for wilful and malicious damage to property against half •-dozen of the ringleaders in tho obstruc tion,

Mr MacgTegor Hay for Mr Fallon, and the Railway Company applied for a remand till Friday. Mr Borthcroft demurred, but afterwards consented. Before opening the case the magistrate suggested a settlement as the prisoners evidently did not act maliciously, but to maintain supposed ngbla, Mr Hay Baid the Company was *i!hng to do anything in reason ; the case was, however, one of felony. Mr North «oft said suoh cases had been withdrawn. Pnsonera were bailed out by Major Jackson and Mr Fraaer, in sureties of £100 for each, AaUoaMe Bettlement.-Tlio Natives Feasted.

SUPPOSES POISONING.

A Row on the Barque Grasmoro.

Rumours concerning a caso of poisoning with laudahum, and also of a disturbance bet\\eon Captain Eaymond and sailors on tho barque Grasmere, were ride throughout town to day. It appears that oarly last evening Drs. Evans and MacMullen were called upen to attend Mrs Raymond, who was alleged to havo been seriously ill. They wero speedily in attendance, and found their patient in her cabin apparently in a dying condition. Thero wore indications of poisoning, and tho usual restoratives wero applied. At ono time all hopes of Mrs Raymond's recovery wero given up, but after careful attention through the night she got so far better this morning as to be consideaed out of danger. Various reports aro in circulation concern ing the unfortunate occurrence, many being of a very grave character, and making serious charges, which will probably be innuired into. How Mrs Raymond obtained the laudanum, or why she took it haa not boen divulged, Cap tain Raymond having declined to fur nish any information on tho subjoct. Anothor source of trouble arose on the Graam^re last evening between Captain Raymond and tbo sailors. Some of tho lattor allege that tho master of tho vessel chased them around the deck with a revolver in his hand, that they aro afraid to go to sea with him, and they have consequently laid a chargo against him, whicjh will probably be heard at tho Polico Court to morrow.
