THE FRISCO MAIL SERVICE

_ meeting of tho Committeo of the Auck land Chamber of Coinmorco was hold at 2 o'clock this afternoon, to consider the nuestion of the extension of tho San Francisco mail service The President (Mr Graves Aickin) occupier! tho chair, and in _ br ; o f speech introduced tho business ol - !ie meeting, He said that he felt sure he was but expressing tho opinion of tho entire Chamber when ho trusted that a qucs tion of such magnitude as that of the San Francisco mail sorvico would be regarded from a colonial point of view, and not narrowed down by moro provincial prejudices or jealousies, r.s had, unfor tunately, been the caso nt Wellington. If it was a Barplusago no provincial predilections could buoy it up; but if, on tho othor imiid, it was fraught with yearly increasing benefits to the whole colony, as he main tained, then no pitiful exhibition of pur blind envy from Wellington should be allowed to stand in the way of a public ad vantage. A discussion onsued, and the result was tho passing of a series of resolu tions, winch aro to bo submitted for con sideration to a special meeting of the Chamber, which has beon convenod for throe o'clock to-morrow afternoon.

NORTH SHORE REGATTA

The advisability of holding a regatta at North Shore on Nov. f:th was discussed at a meeting hold in tho Masonic Hotel last _voning. Mr C. C. Dacro, who occupied tho chair, stated that there remained from from Inst year a credit balance of £5 lis. On the motion of Mr C. Bailey, seconded by Mr A. Warbrick, it was decided to hold a regatta on or about Nov. 9, Princo of Wales's Birthday, and Messrs C. Bailey, C. C. Dacro, M. Niccol, and A. Alison wore appointed a Comi-itteo to wait upon tho Dovonport Forry Company and the business peoplo of Devenport for the purposo of as .cortsining what support might bo forth coming. It was suggested that besides the Maori war canoe raco there should bo a fturdlo raco for small canoes, and a naval ■cutter race. This concluded tho business.

THE HERALD GAIRLOCH COLLISION.

Action to KocoVcr Heavy Damages.

\ It will be remembered that early in May last « collision took placo in Manukau Har bour between tho steamers Herald, owned _y Messrs Stone Rros., and Gairloch, ■owned by tho Northern Steamship Com pany. The usual inquiry was subsequently held by a nautical court. The Herald was eonaidered to have been at fault, and her master (Captain Savory) had his certificate suspended for threo months. In conse quence of this judgment the Northern Steamship Company forwarded to Messors Stono, Bros, a bill of costs, which was con sidered exorbitant, and was nof acknow ledged. Consequently, it has beon followed by an announcement that the Northern Company intend to institute proceedings in the Supreme Court to recover damages set out in the bill of costs. The total claim is for £1,366, and it includes the following items:—Repairs to Gairloch on account of damage sustained while in collision, £400 ; cost of bringing Gairloch from Manukau to Auckland for repairs, £80; returning Gairloch to Manukau, £S0; insurance on voyage from Manukau to Auckland, £137 ; insurance on return voyage, £137 ; loss Bu.tained during the month in which the Gairloch was luid up for repairs, £500. Messrs Stono Bros, havo intimated their intention to defend tho action, and the pro ceedings will be watched with considerable interest as affecting shipping mishaps generally.

Departure of the Supposed Murderer Maxwell.

The last scene of the second act of tho pi i oner Maxwell's presumed connection with tho St. Louis tragedy was played out by his deportation to America, The 15days' grace, during which it was optional for him to apply to the Supremo Court for habeas, corpus oxpired on Saturday, and as r,o application of the kind had beon lodged up to Saturday, His Excellency tho Governor signed, tho warrant of extradition in duo course, and it was forwarded per Ponguin. Upon arrival of tho sloamor, Superintendent Thompson hastened to tho Postmaster, and got time to open the Wellington post bags first. In consequence ho received tho warrant a little before noon, and at onco set oft for tho Mount Eden Gaol, accompanied by Detective Tracy, in order to demand tho body of the prisoner Arrived there, tho warrant was presented and Maxwell duly handed over after the necessary formalities had been complied with, amongst thorn being the signing of a receipt for tho body by Detective Tracoy. Superintendent Thomson, Dotoc tivo Tracoy, Mr Reston (gaoler), and the prisoner then drove down to tho wharf, which they reached at 1.15 p.m., and early as was tho hour, a small crowd of spec tators was awaiting the prisoner's arrival. Ho was got on board without any trouble. In the meantime, Detective Badger had been collecting and shipping the prisoner's effects, and everythingwascomplctcdin good time. During tho morning Maxwell was visited by his solicitor, Mr W. J. Napior, who found him in excellent spirit?, ap parently rathor pleased at the possibility of a journoy to tho States. "Tho Hamp shire Telegraph " and " Suiisox Chronicle " state that it has beon ascertained that Maxwell was a graduate of Oxford, ilo was on his way to practise medicine in ono of tho British colonies, because, although ho was possessed of considerable moans, tlicy wore insufficient to enable him to livo in stylo at home. It may bo added that there is no Maxwell with the initials givon above bolonging to the family of Lord Farnhum, or to any of tho familise of the live Baronets of that namo.

As tho prisoner has expressed a determin ation to seize tho first chanco of jumping ovorbotnd during tho voyage tho detectives being thus forewarned are also forearmed. Maxwell will bo lodged in tboir cabin, and if ho prove obstreperous, log-irons will bo placed upon him, Otherwise ho will enjoy comparative freedom undor closo survoil lanco. Whon ho goes upon deck to take exoreiso, it will only bo with a detective's arm linked in his own, and otherwise nn unrolaxod watch will bo kept upon him. Superintendent Thompson has a high professional opinion of both Dotec fives Tracoy and Badger, and ho is con fident that thoy will safely land thoir man in St. Lou;s.

KERRY'S NEW GUINEA COLD FIN©.

Lively Meeting of the Melbourne Sharo

holders.

| Particulars aro to hand by tho X.M.S. Zealandin to-day of an important meeting of the." XcwGuinen Exploring Company" held in Melbourne recently to consider tho pros pects of thoCompany and atlbrdingMr Kerry, thealloged discoverer of gold iti Now Guinea, an opportunity of explaining cortain matters in regard to which the shareholders were in doubt. In tho course of his explanatory remarks, tho Chairman read an extract from a paper stating that Kerry had been identified as ono 11. Lord, who, on the litth May last, purchased the mtgg.-.t for £2"! in : Tasmania, taking delivery of it hero from a Melbourne linn, to whom lio paid £'20, the other £7 having been paid by him in Laun cestor. His identity with Lord was further urged on accaunt of certain latlo'o marks on his wrist. This, said tho Chairman, was the last thing they hid heard about Kerry, and it certainly was a moat extraordinary statement. Telegrams were road from Mr H. Cooko, of tho Bank of Now Zealand, Newcastle, confirming a statement made by Kerry that ho had shown him the speci mens on tho voyage of tho John Elder from Melbourno to Sydnoy about July last. Kerry, who was pre-cnt at the meeting, was asked to produce the nugget, but said i. was at St Kilda. Ho was requested to proceed th°ro with a gentleman and bring it, but professing indignation that Lis word had been doubted, first refused to go in the company of any ono' olse, and then declined to go at all. Tho qnoction was then raised whether thoy had . nftioient evi dence to support the prosecution of Kerry on tho charge of endeavouring to procure money by moans of false pretences. Kerry : I havo not dono so. Tho Chairman : Kerry has had money from us. Mr Sabelberg, one of tho shareholders, said that although Kerry might not have committed a statu tory offence, ho might bo prosecuted under common law. It would be tho duty of the directors to take ptops to punish Kerry, or to give him an opportunity lo whitewash himself. If he had deceived them, ho should be made an oxample of. After some further discussion, Kerry eventually con sented to go, but only on tho uondition that he should bo unaccompanied. Tho meet ing adjourned for an hour, and at tho ox piration of that time Kerry had not roturncd. Tho discussion was renewod during his ab sence. Une of tho directors said the Com pany should bo wound up in a proper way. He might, howover,. mention a fact of somo inrportance. It was that on May 19th last, Kerry, to his knowledge, received a cheque for £20, and on May 19th was tho day upon which tho man "Lord" paid £20 for a specimen of gold as already stated. Tho Chairman : And tho man Lord has been identified as Kerry. Mr Sabelberg said Kerry had received tho £20 in payment of expenses as a witness in tho Melbourne " Daily Telegraph " case. Mr Woolcott remarked that it seemed as if Kerry had hoodwinked tho promoters, and if so, ho should be punished, so as to make it a warn ing to others. A long discussion then ensued, during which various resolutions were put forward, somo for an adjournment, and further inquiry into Kerry's bona lidos ; others that tho Company be wound up, and that stops be taken to punish Kerry. Whilo tho discussion was in full swing, Korry reappeared with a young man, who produced the nugget from his pocket, Tho friond, who refused to givo his narao, said ho had known Kerry's people in Now Zealand. Tho Chairman said tho directors had called to Kerry's mother in Auckland asking if sho had sent specimens to her son in Sydnoy, in March, and the reply was in tho affirmative. Korry, in reply to questions, denied that ho had over represented himself to be Lord, while a jeweller present declared that ho identified Kerry as Lord, and asserted that Kerry had bought the nugget from Mr Evans, of Tasmania, for £27. Kerry admitted that there were tatoo marks on his hands and wrists, and these marks were said to corres pond with thoso seen on Lord. Also that he had been in Tasmania in January. Tho meeting then adjourned for a week, in order that legal advice might bo taken. During the discussion, Mr Wokley (lato of Sand hurst) said he would bo prepared to give £22 per share for all the 60 shares that were sold to the public, but tho offer was not accepted.

THE FIRE IN PRINCES-STREET

An inquest was hold at 2 o'clock this after i noon in the Masonic Hotel, Princcs-streot, on the abovo lire, before R. C. Barstow, Esq, and a jury of twelve, of whom Mr James Webster was chosen foreman. Ser geant Gamble appeared on bohalf of the Police, Mr Graham for tho insurance com panies, and Mr W. Cotter for Mr Hatswoll James Graham, agent of tho Colonial Insurnnco Company at Auckland, deposed that ho know tho premisos of Mr AA;. Pierco at tho corner of Prinoes-strcot and Waterloo Quadrant, which had lately been destroyed by fire. The portion occupied by Mr Pierce had not beon insured in tboir oilico. Mrllatswell, who occupied one of the shops, was insured as follows :—Stock, £250; furniture, £125; piano, £25: total, £400. The property in tho house was worth far more than the amount for which it was insured. Mr Hatswoll had not lodgod a formal claim ngain.t tho oilico yet. Witness was of opinion that Mr Hatswoll had moro furniture in ono largo room than would make up tho amount claimed under that hoading. Thoro was also moro stock in tho shop than was covered by tho insurance.—Frank Lo.lio, Auckland, agent for tho Fire Association of London, deposed that Mr W. B, Piorco was insured in their Company in two policios to tho amount of £300, made up as follows :- Stock-in-trade of fruit and citiar shop, £70; furniture and household effects, £30 ; |linen and wearing npparrol, £30 ; and piano, £20. Thosoeond policy was for £150, on prints and draw ings, dated January 3rd, ISSS Claims had since tho lire boon mado against the Company. (Mr Graham hero suggested that Mr i'iorco should loavo tho room. The Coroner decided that as ho might bo placed in tho position of a defendant ho had therefore a right to remain in Court.) Witness continued, that tho claim undor tho first poling amended to £221, or £71 in excoss of tho amount insured. In tho Schedule forwarded there were a number of articlos that could novor havo affected tho policy. Under tho second policy, Mr Pierce claimed for householdeffocts, curios, &c,although tho poliov merely mentioned printsand drawings, Mr Piorco estimated his loss undor that policy as £3SO, or £250 in excoss of the amount stated in the policy. He also claimed £26 for a piano under the second policy, although the same is insured for £20 under the fir.t policy, undor which no claim had been made—Mr Pierce had stated to witness that the policy did not carry out his intentions, but ho might .stato that thoy were in accordance with the printed forms. — By Sergt (lamblo.; Witness was not in Auckland whoti the policies were issued, nor 'when the lire occurred. The policy for £150 was for print, and drawings only, in the house situate in Princess-street. The person who took the risk was at present in Australia. By Mr Cotter : Everything that could possibly be referred to undor tho policy for prints and drawings had been selected from the sehedulo of claim, and they amounted to only £07.

The Bad and Worthless.

are novor imitated or counter/cited. This la especially true of a family medicine, and it ia positive proof that tho romedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by tho wholo world that Hop Bitters was tho purest, boat, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up, and began to steal the notices in whioh the Press and the people of tho country had expressed the merits of H. B„ and In evory way trying to Induco Buffering invalids to use their stuff instead, oxpecting to make money on tho credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar stylo to H. 8., with variously devised namos, in which tho word " Hop or " Hops" woro used In a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their stylo or namo Is, and especially those with tho word "Hop' or " Hops " in their namo, or In any way connected with them or their name, are imitations oi counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none ol them. Use nothing but genuino American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hope on the white label, and Dr. Soule's namo blown In the glass. Trust nothing olso. Druggist! and Chemists are warned against dealing in Imitations or counterfeits.
