In fact, the **£ Sn of tho roof is no longer fTlln and the rain poured into tho Kb not much permanent injury, except X wall paper, was done, only one pane *? Xw being broken in a side window, I 'JS hMdlv tell you that the two front i h;l r «ndo yred uninhabitable , but hskfe, the back portion of the roof escaped «w much damage, although many slates It™«acked by falling bricks and pieces and sovoral leaks showed BP«tonce. On going outside to see how the dog was getting on (for, as we expected #h» workshop was a complete wreck, and the dog's kennel under a comer), wo found ftmsafe, with three spare feet of chain },Ua wonder how it escaped. Wo lost Mveral fowls, killed under the falling hdildine Th« force of the wind must have tan upwards, as the building seems to Hve been clean lifted away, leaving things .tendintt unhurt in tho inside and the floor Sit«place. Puriri and pohutukawa trees, shout the house only, suffered severely. It seems to have attained itfl maximum Khmeth about 100 yards from the house, uvd fist strength about the same distance from it, »nd its direction was from N. to S. A» it did no damage to two paling fences to its ocurse, I calculate that it may bo safely said that the house was fair in the centre of the whirl, and only escaped utter destruction on account of its shape being nearly square. About 40 yards would be the breadth of its course, and 200 yards would cover the length apparently of its dangerous track, judging of course from the debris scattered around and from broken trees. I consider we have got oatofthe affair very well,as although we are considerable losers, so many things are spate I that might easily have been destroyed. A great many years ago another whirlwind took its course from &. to S., about SO yards to the rear of the houso, levelling fonce* and breaking up trees, etc in its course, which could bo easily traced.

The Ciuisman said the meeting was <aw 4 for the purpose of declaring a divi nttitt. They bad now only one meeting in "5 year at which a detailed report was aabmltted. The speaker quoted tho PMoipal items from the accounts, and Mid It waa proposed to declare a divided °l 8g 6d per share, equal to 17 P« cent. They would see that this *»» a fairly satisfactory statement. «eit expenditure had been very great on account. They had just erected at great expense a new holder and purifier. Owing to the constant demand, ""a Increasing corautupMon of gas, it «Mned that the expenditura on capital "*OMt wou ia jje unceasing.

Increase of Capital. | Mr D, J, McLeod said it was his intention wmovo at next meeting, unless the direc tora took up the matter in the meantime : Tnatthesum of £40,000, equal to 8,000 ™ly paid np shares, be transferred from Mepreminms on shares sold, to the credit « capital account, and that the said 8,000 ™»y paid np shares be divided pro rata among the present shareholders." He newd people outside complaining of »c high dividends, but as the capital ■*• £140,000, instead of £70,000, they •touldcapiuiiise the difTerenoe, s»d woik 'Pan it.

Mr J, Eikin said there was something of ***«>» kind in bis mind also. ' vl A- BoaKDltan favoured the idea.

EAST AND WEST COAST RAILWAY.

(BT TELKORAFH—PARLIAMENTARY KKPORTJiK.)

Wellington, this day. The East and West Coast Bailway con tinues tho ruling question of the hour. I ascertained for certain that the Government have been in communication with Meiggs and Son by cable regarding tho proposed terms, sinco Saturday, and I hope that the Government will lay theso cables on tho table of the Housa before the motion comes on noxt Tuesday, if it does como on. I mako this proviso entirely on tho clever ness of tho Government'spoliticalmanarnvro ing, and Sir Julius Vogol has all tho wari ness, clevorness, and dash, and I might also saytheunscrupulousnesß.ofapoliticianofthe Cardinal Mazarini stamp, With any other sot of mon I would regard it as certain that the Government would require to go to a vote on tho question of the appointment of a select committse in accordance with tho exact verbiage of Sir Julius Vogel's resolution, but tho subtle man who nuvigatos the doomod ship of State may yet steer past the rock that seems to throatan certain and absolute dostr-UGtion. In a word, Sir Julius Voael politically has as many lives as a cat, and ho Is not dead yet by a long chalk. I believe there is no chance of the committee being carried. Tho Auckland members to a man will vote against it, and 13 Otago members, and with others the Opposition count on 50 supporters. Kogarding tho matter, a leading Atkinson member wrote to me last night: "So far as our party are concerned, we intend to vote against tho committee in the first instance, and if tho motion for a committee is carried, then Major Atkinson and Mr Mitchelson will decline to act upon the committee, as we consider that a measure of so great impor tance as tho East and West Coast lino should bo decided by the whole House. We anticipate defeating the motion for a committee by a majority of 5." Both the evening papers strongly disap prove of the proposal to refer the railway matter to a Select Committee. The "Press ' thinks '"the House ought to refuse point blank tho referenco of the matter to a com mittee, on the plain ground that it is a question of principle and not of detail, and that the reference of it to a committee will only cause delay, and diminish the chances of its being well and wisely deliberated on." The " Post" says :—" As to the proposed constitution of the Com mittee, it is a manifestly unfair one. Sir Julius Vogel has so selected the nameß as to be absolutely certain of having a majority upon it. The idea of appointing Messrs Garrick, Hursthouse, Menteath and himself to ' consider' the question is simply absurd. Their minds are quite made up. They would act on the Com&ittee as advocate;l, not judges. If the Committee were ap pointed (and we do not think one should be), it ought to be composed entirely of dis interested members—men who have neither local no speculative ends to serve. Such a committee, for instance, as the one which la.st session was appointed to considir the rival routes proposed for tho North Island Trunk Railway. A committee of this kind, however, would not suit tho purpoeos either of Sir Julius Vogcl or those who may be regarded as the pro motors of the railway. Indeed, if such a thoroughly independent committee was appointed, and its order of reference was made sufficiently large, it is very probable that instead of recommonding further con cessions to induco tho construction of the line, it would roport as tho previous com missions have done, dead ag.-.uiit the won. altogether, as one presetitiu^ cnormou." difficulties, oiforins no L-io-pcct of ever proving remunerative, and neither roquired nor justified by tho circumstances of the colony."

Later. Sir Julius Vogel denies that there is any fohudution for tho statement that the Government purpuae dropping tho Is'elsoi, line, and says the report is a devica of the enemy. The Opposition now claim a majority against the appointment of v railway committee.

OBSTRUCTING THE TRAM CAR.

At the Police Court to-day, Robert Steven- Mjn, a Justice of tlio Peace, was charged on summons with driving a horeo and buggy upon the Ponsonby Koad in such a manner as to cause an obstruction on the 2nd of June ; also, with wilfully assaulting Harry Jenkins with a whip.—MrTheo. Cooper, in defence, asked that Mr Stevenson might be permitted to take a soar, which was allowed.—Mr C. E. Button appearod for the prosecution, and said that he would pat the assault first by parmhsiou of the Court, —Mr Button then opened the case, and said ho regretted to soo a fjentlsman in defendant's position called to answer charges like these. He would read a lotter which was written by Mossrs Whitaker and Russell from the prosecution suggesting terras of settlement in connection with an apology from Mr Stevenson. A letter was also read from defendant refusing both the terms and ths giving of an apology ; and as for striking the man Jonkine, it was an accident if dono at all. Ml- Stevenson was very angry, mado use of very strong lan guage, anddeliberately struck the car man across the face with bin whip.—Harry Jenkins deposed that he was conductor on the up-car on the 2nd of June. Ho saw the buggy just after landing two passengers at Kata-street, Ponsonby Road. Rang the bell, and the oar proceeded on the line. Presently, the driver rang. He pulled np to see what was wrong. The horse and buggy were on the line. He took hold of the horse to lead him off, but Mr Stevenson prevented him. He was positive that defendant did not get out of the buggy to look to the harness. He was inside the buggy, and saw nothing about it. He held his horse in as tightly as possible, and raised his whip. The driver took hold of the wheel, and requested Mr Stevenson's name. Mr Stevenson refused to give it. Several witnesses said they should recognise defendant again. The driver then let go the wheel and desired to lead the horse's head. Mr Stevenson passtd, and raising his whip, struck him (witnes?) across the the face. He vat perfectly sure that defendant meant It, as it was deliberately aimed at him. Ho caught the thong of the whip, and was dragged some yards along. He stuck to the. whip (produced). The driver ran after defendant and demanded his name He stopped again in front of the horses' heads, and the driver of another car, named Lawlor, came up, and he gave him the whip. The car was ten minutes behind. Mr Stevenson said, "Give me my whip, and I'll give you my namo," but whilo leaning forward to take the whip, Lawlor caught the reins, and led the horse and buggy oft the line, Mr Stevenson now gave his name and uddress. Mr Stevenson then lit his lamp.and followed the car up to the Waterworks; he then tried to drive between the car and the curve.- By MrCooper :He could not swear that the trap whs not broken, ft was nearly dark, about 3.30. Saw the horeo, which was grey. Could not state .its value. The blow was struck wilfully. He felt sure of it Did not hear Mr Tole cr Mr Hastie gay it «as accidental. Mr Stevenson was a stranger to him. Could not eny that he feari his whip. Was not supposed to as* for «ureties.-joseph William ferey, a pas senger by the trnm on that evening, deposed to seeing the buggy close to the car. The driver pulled up. He saw the buggy stond in«' in front of the horses, and seeing the like. lihood of an accident. He spoke to the gentleman, and asked him to get off the Sue. He replied "Mind your own busi noea, I know what I'm doing. Theres plenty of room on the off side.* He took hold of defendant's horse, and lod him on to a short distance. He considered that defendant had been '^ulging freely, and he said, "Sir,- you had better B et off the line." he appeared angry, ana iSd, "Go to the devil!" Both conductor and driver were extremely civil to Mr Stevenson He saw Mr Stevenson whisk fhewhTp round and strike the conductor over the face. He was positive that it was ST. .£*' TL aXX gpK pave evidence, in which lo «otaW, iii almost every particular, the statement of the cendulr. \aw Mr Stevenson stake the conductor with his whip. He had no doubt aa to the wilfulness of the act. Robert Baker's depositions «»£*£; he havine gone to Sydney. When the car was at the corner of Rata-s reet, he got out with Mr Stuart. Had taken one or two steps to cross the road,, when some one Tprfng ?o Utthe sfd°e°of tne^oad, and a part of the buggy bruehed his shoulders. He was sHtwsawsfS

the evening of the 2nd ult. The buggy ' came up near the Richmond Road. Was going at a sharp trot. Passengers got out by St. John'B Chinch, Ponsonby Road. T! c driver of the buggy got on tho line, and the oar driver called out, asking him to get off the lina. Ho would not do so, but kept on at a slow pace just in front of tho car. At length he gave his name, iiud brought his whip n.und the back of hid buggy and struck tlie conductor. In his opinion, the blow was not accidental. - Tho passengers were dropped at the Threo Lamps, opposite Mr Tole's residence. Mr .Stevenson lit his lamps there. Ho said ho wasJlnot go i ng to get out of the way of the car, bat tho car must get out of the way for him. Heard no bad language used. —Thomas Lawlor deposed that ho was a dnver in tho employ of the Company. He was detained on that evoning at tho Lamps. Heard tho driver of the up-tram was in trouble Ho went and learned tho particulars, and took charge of the whip. — He took Mr Stevenson's name and address, Newton Koad. Held the horses head for several minutes. There was nothing the matter with the harness. Case proceeding.

D-ar Mr Kelly.— I ha-'O peruted the comparisons of results givon by -<ir Hlack, the Actuary of the Aus tralian Mutual Provided Society, in the " Argus" o( this date, and wouid point out that he has ignored tho following faots, whk-h have a roo«t important bearing upon toe question- Firs Jy,—That the premium paid by you to the A.M.P. is very much largor than that paid to tho Kquitab c. Secondly,-That the A.M P.'s polioyisaton tino—!"c, the bonuses are contingent and not absulutp, a3 is the caße wl'hthe Kquitabie policy If, instead cf paying us £512 ISs you hnd paid u» £iB7 10s, the rate you pay to tbo A M.P., tho comparison would stand as follows, viz.:— Sum — As- Bonus Total cured " ~~" £ £s. d c s. d. Equitable . ..10 821105 0 ClO 926 0 0 To the A.M.P. you pay £293 15s for £5000, £587 10j for £10,000.. 10,000 ;03 8 0 10,208 8 0 Difference in favoHr of EquUablo £717 12 0 Or. rather, this would be the difference, pro vided tho bonuses of tho A.M.P. cash and reversionary, vested at oncfl as with the "KquA table." But their bonuses do not so vest— i.e., are not Daring at all unless tho life survives a. fixed ton tine period ; and it you now apply to that eociety for the cash value of your bonus you will find that it Is nit payable; or if you die at any timo within their tontine period, your heirs will only receive the sum assured, and not as with <hi "Equitable," the sum assured with tho bonus added (£10,986). so that the real differrnce In favour of the Equitable, co far as absolute as surarco goes, is £)KS. With regard to the apparently larger bonus given by the New York Life OJjice, the fact that you pay them a largor promium i 6 of itself sufficient to account for the difference. Mr Black In thus going out of his way to make an unprovoked and also unfair attack upon a rival institution, by means of comparisons which might be pardonable If made in igr.oranc j by a canvassing agent, neither upholds the dignity of his profession nor the status of hie Society. As an actuary, Mr Black Bhould bo aware of tho important bearing in a comparison of this nature of ihe actual amount of premium pa> able noon the bonus, and the suppression of the fact that the polioy of the A.M. P. is tontined, U more ingenious than candid. Faithfully yours, B. HOPE ATKINSON, Manager. T. H. Kelly, Esq., 67, Pitt-streot, Sydney. NEW ZEALAND DIRECTORS: Sib F. Whitakbr, K.C.M.G. Dk. J.
