MELANCHOLY FATAL ACCIDENT.

NEW ZEALAND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY.

Annual Mooting,

The annual mooting of tlio Now Zealand Accident Insurance Company was hold at tho Now Zealand Insurance Buildings at 2 this afternoon. Mr D. B. Cruickshank presided. Tho Secretary (Mr P. A. Edmiston) road tho annual report and balance-sheet as follows :—" Tho directors, in submitting to tho shareholders tho annual report, havo to report that theCempany's operations lor 188-1 have not been so satisfactory as in previous years. As migfot have been ex pected from tho kcon competition We have had to contend with on all sides, the income for now and renewal premiums has fallen off, while tho loshos, both in New Zealand and Australia, have been heavy. The directors, however, have reason to hope that tho year in which we have just entered will prove more profit ablo; and in tho meantime, thoy recommend the paymont of tho usual divi dend of Gd per share, of which 3d has already been paid for the half-year ending 30th June, 18S4. In accordance with the deed of settlement, Messrs C. J. Stone and 6. B. Owon retired trom office, and boing ■oligiblo, offer themselves- for reflection. It will bo tho duty of tho shareholders to elect two auditors. Messrs Milne and

Waymoutb, tho present anditors, also offer themselves for re-election.

Tho balance-sheet showed—Amount of compensation paid, £6,231; general expanses, £2,096; license, inspection, and other ex penses, with bnlanoe of £1,396, make up a total of £10,666. The amount of not premiums was £8,984 12s 9d. Tho capital account showed assets as follows:—lnvest ments, £10,916; accrued interest, £213 Is 3d; balance at branches, £772 6s Sd; office furniture, Ac, £226 0s 7d : total, £12,132 8s 6d.

The Chairman briefly moved the adop tion of the report. He pointed out that while their income from premiums had been about £9,000, they had paid for compensa tion over £6,000, the losses in Australia beinj* exceptionally heavy. However, their position was not second to that of any accident company doing business in Aus tralasia. Thoy had a reserTO fund of £4,000, and £2,500 to provide for contingent liabilities, while nearly £11,000 wero in vested. The adoption of tho report bavins been carried, the retiring directors ana auditors woro re-elected without opposi tion.

The meeting terminated vith votes of thanks to tho Chairman and officers.

Christohuk'ou, this day. At three o'clock this morning a brick store and wooden dwelling house at Woolston belonging to John James Courtanay were burned down. Mr Courtenay and his family escaped in their night clothes and nothing was paved. Tho build ings wero insured for £800, tho furniture for £300, and the stock for £300 in the New Zealand office, which has £630 reinsured in the Phrenix Office The fire, which began in tho kitchon, is supposed to havo been purely accidental.

THE FIRE BRIGADE DISPUTES.

(BY TKLEOBAPII—OWN COBBBSFOSBENT.)

Duniidik, this day. Thb Fire Brigade Dsmonstration Commit tee met last night and decided a numbor of protests. For the engine practice (dog) competition, the prizes were awarded thus : — Ogoomun, Dunedin, 1 ; Tattersall, Dunedin, and Gulliver, Rangiora, to run off for second and third prizes. In the horse competition Wanganul was placed first, Dunedin second, and Napier third. A dinner held last erening was attended by 200. The teams from Nelson, Wellington, Auckland, and Thames, being dissatisfied with the arrangements, roturned home this evening.

Tho World's Falr.lately opened at New Orleans is said to bo by far tho largest yet hold, and to reflect groat credit upon lhe citizens of Louisiana's capital. Thoopon ing ceremonies wero in a way unique, as they were held at tho same time jointly in Washington and New Orleans. In Washington 'somo 200 diatinguished guests had been invited to bo present at tho ceremonies, and they assembled in the spacious " East-room" of the presidential residence, in one corner of which was placed a table with telegraph instruments upon it, connecting with an instrument similarly placed in the main hall of tho exposition buildings in New Orleans. Tho President laid hifl finger upon tho key of the instrument, which was connected by one straight wire with New Orleans, and started all the machinery in tho machinery hall of the exposition 1,400 miles away in motion at tho Same instant. The ; ceremonies in New Orleans were im posing, and passed off very well, some 25,000 people being present at the opening, and at night the city was one blaze of illuminations. Of course, the exhibition was not at its best on the first day, as numbers of the exhibits did' not arrive in

time to be placed. The exposition will re main open until tho 3lßt cf next May. One of the features of the fair will be the great fUating hotol, improvised out of the Great Eastern, which has been chartered for the season for 15,000d01. As tho hotel accom modation will be scarcely equal to the de mand, this "floating hotel" will in all probability become extremely popular among the transient visitors, Tho great stylist and fanciful teacher, John Kuskin, ia still anxious to teach us how to teach. His new " Fors "is almost wholly devoted to children. He does in deed, by way of preface, declare against Henry George and land nationalisation, urging that the hereditary principle ia a necessity in' dealing with land, and the State the woret possible landlord. But, having thug delivered on obiter dictum, ho passes on to say hard things about block heads who want everybody to bo educated alike You should not educate all classes alike, nor all children of the same class or family alike. Each child should be treated without much compulsion, and unspuned by rivalry or competition. It should not be plagued with arithmetic. It should bo taught rather music and elocution than vulgar fractions. To aid in the teaching of music, Ruskin tried to invent a lyro, upon which children might learn the prin ciples of sound; but the manufacturer turned out so ugly a thing that the experi ment failed, though the charge for the instrument was the same as for a piano forte. Mr R, Arthur will hold an extensive sale of unredeemed pieces at bis Action rooms on Monday next, the 2nd proximo, by order of Mr James Rae. pawnbroker, of KMott-street FuU particulars ot this Important sale appeared ij tne STXK of tho 28th instant, Including goldl ana sil .vor watches, jewellery, and articles ot cIoUUDg,

Chhistciiuhcii, this day.—The Secretary of the Balaklava Commemoration Society, London, has written to Mr J. W. Nichols, Secretary of tho fund formed for tho relief of the family of Samuel Wilson, late of the 7th Hussars, one of the Six Hundred, stating that at tho last annual dinner of the survivors of the Balaklava charge, a reso lution was passed warmly thanking the Committee of the fund for thoir efforts. The amount in hand is £230.

SCHOOL OF MINES FOR THAMES.

(»IV TELEGRAPH—OWN COKRESrONDENT.)

Thames, thft day. The " Advertiser " states, on tho authority of a gentleman who has interviewed Ministers on the subject, that Sir Julius Vopol and Mr Larnacn aro favourably dis posed towards tho proposal to establish a School of Minos in this district, and that tho latter has promised to bring tho matter before the Cabinet.

"Money Bags" Bonds us another letter on tho Dovonport Wosleyan Church, but wo think tho correspondence has run long enough. <■ Some of the leading officers of tho Band of Hopo Union hnve recently received from Ilomo samples of Band of Uopo badges in tho shape of brooches, watch pendants, and diminutive medals for tho cpat. Thoy are executed in brass and coloured enamel, range In price from 6d up to Is 3d, and have a very neat appearance. In all probability there will be a large demand for them.

Tho " Mo»cow Gazette" contains an article oh ths West African Conferenco, exulting as usual over the difficulties and Isolation of England abroad, and continu ing to propagate the ideas about tho Red Sea and Abytsinla started by ono of ita toVrespondenta. Tho Kcil Sea (says M. Kfttkofl") must bo tfcutralfsod, with free navigation to All nations through tho Straits 'of Babttl Matttab, as well as well as the Suez Canal. The neutrality of the former Straits should riaturally bo on trusted to the earo of Abyssinia. At the same time it would bo only just to give King John a port on the Red Sea, as more than once proposed by General Gordon, whose letters on' the subject to the "Times" in 1881, referring nlso to tho Christianity of the Abysslnians, ore then quoted by tho " Moscow Gazette," and made, to load up to the fol lowing advlco in conclusion :—" \Vo have all tho more reason to take tho part of the Abyssinians since they drew thoir Chris tianity frcm tho East. It matters not how much they have hidden their light under a bushel, nor how much their faith ban now become debased. Abyssinia involuntarily learn towards the Eastern Church, and con sequently towards Russia and towards her Czar, the great protector of the Eaßtorn Church. Wo ought to concern oursolvos more about aotlve and regular relations with this distant and half-stifled branch of the Eastern Church."

A hort time ago a Kentish clergyman drew attention to the ill effects upon the hop crop produced by the absonco from church of certain farmers in his parish. It is pleasant to learn from another divine in Somersetshire that the wheat crop, after ten years of fa 1-tre, has turned out a success, thanks to a cause apparently aa indirect — namely tho action of the Government. Ho doos not indeed affirm that this in tho actual result of tho suspension of the " Public Worship Regulation Act," but ho wishes to draw attention to the fact that this is the first year of ten in which there has been a lull in holy priosthood.and that Providence has again smiled upon us. In Paris, ngain, wo learn from the clerical papers that " tho reign of terror and the worst days of 1797 havo been revived,' because during some alterations in tho church of St. Nicholas some naughty boys washed their hands in the holy water.
