THE GUN ACCIDENT.

Coroner's Inquost.

An inqueßt was hold at tho Queen's Hotel yesterday afternoon, before Dr. Philsonand a jury, of whom Mr Heath was chosen fore man, on the body of Waterhouse Nicholson, who was accidentally shot at Mount Eden Railway Station on Monday evening. Sergeant Gamble represented the police. The following evidence was taken :—Ernest R. Brabazon was called, and gavo evidence similar in effect to that published in our last evening's issue. Ho said ho had known tho deceased about eight years. He was a fellow clerk in H.M. Customs. They wore all sobor at the time of their return to the Mount Eden Railway Station on the return from their Bhooting trip. They had a very little brandy when they rose that morning, but not moro than several teaspocnfuls, from a flask which they had with them. Their clothes were all wet at the time. Ho was not aware that thero was a by-law prohibiting loaded firearms from being takon into a railway carriage. Deceased know that his gun was loaded.—Herbert Brabazon deposed that ho was standing on tho carriage in front of de ceased, when his attention was called to a boy who was forcing his way tnrough tho people on tho platform, evi dently with tho object of getting into tho carriage Ho asked him where he was rushing to, and thon turned his back towards the deceased. Immediately aftor wards ho hoard tho explosion of tho gun, followed by a groan. When he looked round ho saw deceased on tho ground, and somebody lifting him. Ho did not believe tho hammer of tho gun foil at all, as when it was picked up tho pieco was still at half* cock. Tho pinfiro cartridges wore very sensitive, and in the morning they had to tap tho barrel with a tomahawk before they could force the cartridge home. Ho believed that the concussian, when doccascd placed tho stock on tho ground, was sufficient to cause tho explosion with out tho fall of the hammer, Dr. Lawry deposed that when ho was called to see doceasod bo found him at the Mount Eden Railway Station lying on his back with his head supported on one of the game bngs. There was a large freeh wound on tho Bido of tho face, the oyo was destroyed, and tho bones of tho front of tho right half of tho skull woro shattered. Tho brain protruded through the upper part of the wound. Deceased was unconscious, but breathing steadily and strongly. Ho groaned, but did not speak. Ho only survived about 10 or 15 minutes, dying on the Rpol. The cause of death was injury to tho brain.— The verdict was one of " Accidental Death," without blamo attaching to any one,

NEW CALEDONIA.

News lrom Now Caledonia in Sydney includes tho following :—

M. Maesoni,charged with the carrying out of tho decree of tho 16th of August,, by which an area of 275,000 acres ot land fit for cultivation waa handed over to the ponal administration, has set about deter mining the limitation of tho Peniten tiary roHorves in the town of Noumoa. These reserves represent a superficial area of about 20 acres.

It is rumoured in Noumea that a mystori oub attompt to escape, which has, however, been dofcated, was lately made. There is in the prison of New Caledonia an anarchist whose name is well known,and who has been condemned to hard labour for having set firo to tho town hall of one of the principal cities in Franco. It appears that two of his co-religionists formod a project to do liver him. They intended to make their oscapo to Franco by tho last packet boat which called at Noumea. The police wore, however, cognisant of tho project. Tho English war schooner Undine, stationed at tho New Hobrides, arrived in Noumea a few weeks ago, having come from tho islands in throe days. Tho Bri tiph Coneul at Noumea at onco informed tho commnndor that, in accordance with tho orders of tho Admirnl commanding the naval forces on the Now South Wales station, tho Undino should at onco make sail for Sydnoy instead of returning to tho islands. This course was doubtless taken in view of tho probability at that timo of war with Kussia. A Curious Dlsoovory. A curious event has been disclosed to tho Penitentiary Administration. They woro infonnod that eight convicts intended to oscajn) to Australia. A boat ready to go to soa had been found. Upon this discovery tho Administration at onco ordcrod a strict soarch of tho storos to bo made in tho build ings whoro convicts aro employed. Search was also mado at tho Military Hospital and tho Hotilla dopot. The soarch at the hos pital had somo result. Thoy discovered in tho pocsossion of a convict wardsman a fowling-piece bolonging to onoof theoflicors, which the convict had beon given to clean. At the dopot tho result was greater; tho searchers mado unprecedented dis coveries. They brought to light heaps of stuff, sholls, hats, pulleys, workboxos, poignards, moro than 50 pairs of pattens, swords, gems mounted in silver and gold, two door's antlers, &c. The carts were com pletely fiHod. Certain of the articlos found woro of very considerable artistic worth, the whole of tho booty being estimated at a valuo of soveral thousand francs. One con vict alone has, it appears, lost SOO francs consequent on this unlooked-for dis covery. Ho sent, thoy say, 200 francs per month to his family. Lc pevuvre hommc ! Itisgivonto understand that at tho same timo tho searchers put their hands on a pioco of papor which wasuaodas an account book. It contained the names of the per sons who wcro in commercial relations with tho convicts. What curious revelations this document would bo able to furnish ! Tho Brutal Nativo Outrage. Tho Criminal Court will in a short time bo occupied in arriving at tho facts con corning the recruiting of the Ambroua. Tho Bruat war vessel, which was deputed to visit the New Hebrides, whore inquiry was mado, has recoived very grave news. The captain of tho Idaho, who was implicated in this affair, understood what was the matter when he saw tho Bruat arrive, and mado his oscapo by fight, but the crew has been arrested and taken to Noumea. It is said that the inquiry revealed nothing new, but that all the facts which'were doubtful have beon confirmed. It is said that the acts of piracy, which are the object of the accusa tion, were committed at Aoba. It is shown that the Bchoonora Idaho and Ambroua met by agreement, and were anchored in the harbour. Two or three men remained on board to act as guard, whilst the remainder of the crew went on shore armed. The cause, or rather the excuse, of this expedition was the robbery of a boat by the natives of Aoba. An agent of the Company of the New Hebrides, settled about four miles to the north of Port Sandwich, employed on his station gome kanakas of Aoba. He pretended that one day these kanakas set out with the as sistance of a whaleboat he possessed, and nover returned. Upon these representa tions he had some quarrels with the natives in the neighbourhood, and went to Port Sandwich, where the Idaho was, and em barked on her as a passenger. Tho schooner took him to his station to obtain what he possessed, and left him there. Somo time aftor he was landod at his desiro at Ambyrm, and it was thon that the Idaho sailed for Aoba to retake tho stolon boat But it appears that whon they arrived there thoy omitted to demand explanations from the natives. They, in fact, perceived there a boat which answered to tho descrip tion given by tho victim of tho robbery, and it was then that they landed with arms, without having received any further information. It is said that tho natives who were on the shore were unarmed. The crew at once burned tho natives' canoes to prevent them escaping, and then set firo to the village. If the natives had dared to do so, they would have had time to get into their canoes and reach the Idaho and Ambroua. The few men left on board the vessel would not have been able to de fend them against a sudden attack. The inquiry of the Bruar has established tho 7 act that an old woman whom it was said had been killed was not yet dead. She had still on her arms soveral gaping wounds. To the questions which were asked her she replied that she had been illused by a whito man. The natives of Aoba protond that it is a black who struck her ; but it appears that they were not there at the moment when this occurrence took place andthe word of the woman, therefore' merits the more credence. The natives taken at Aoba were put on board the Am broua, with tho exception of a young woman placed on board the Idaho.

THE MINISTER OF MINES AT TE AROHA.

Promises of Liberal Aid,

(BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Te Aroha, this day. Thk Hon. Mr Larnaoh, Mr Cadtnan, M.H.R., Warden Konrick, Mr Burns, Mr Larnach, jun., Mr Hamer, secretary, &c, arrived hero pn Sunday evening from Paeroa, and stayed at Warren's Hotel. Mr J. B. Whyte wag hero awaiting the Minister'a arrival. Mr LaMonte, of gold saving fame, and Mr K. K. Davis, arrived on Saturday night. Mr La Monto on Sunday visited some ef the mines, as well as the two bat teries, and left with Mr Davis for Karanga hake district on Monday morning. He ex pressed the opinion that his process was not necessary for the class of quartz on thia field, as the ordinary method would do with certain additions. By an ex|«3nditure of £1,200 to £1,500 in alterations, erection of concentrators, &c, Firth and Clark's Bat tery ought to yield 80 to 90 per cent, of gold. He formed a high opinion of the New Find and Phcenix mines, which gavo the best quartz of half-a-dozen mines visited. He believes the gold goes down, and if sunk a couplo of hundred feet would probably meet rich stone. Mr Larnach and party started on Monday morning and visited the new battery, Firth and Clark's battery and tailing plant, and the New Find mine, and, returning to Te Aroha in the evening, visited all the baths. A deputation from the Piako County Council asked for £3,000, balance of grant duo on account of tramway. Some dis cussion ensued on the subject of the Coun cil's finance. Mr Larnach said he was unable to give a grant himself, but would recommend the Colonial Treasurer to put a sum on the estimatss next session. He said he was very much struck with the private enterprise which had been mani fested on the field. Respecting the depres sion which had beon complained of, he thought if tho Battery Company reduced its charges for crushing and the County Council reduced the tariff on the tramway, this would do more to assist the mining in dustry than anything he could do for them. Mr Firth pointed out that the Battery Company had just made a liberal reduction, and that though the Company had received no assistance from tho Government in way of being provided with water-races, ita charges were much lower than those of the Thnmes Companies. The Chairman of the Council pointed out that the tramway charges could not well be reduced, as last year it had been worked at a loss of £600. The deputation a?ked for £1,000,0 n£2 to £1 principle, for a branch tramway connecting new battery with the tramway. M r Lar nach suggested that Mr J. B. Whyte, the member for the district, should bring this matter forward next session, when he would assist him to get the amount named. He Btrongly expressed an opinion that a rate ought to be struck, as it was stated a three farthing rate would realise £:t,500. He promised a deputation con sisting of three, mine manager, the battery manager, and the clerk, a subsidy of £2 to £I—total amount, £310—for prospecting a track from Fern Spur to Butler's Spur, eastern side Buck Reef, the County Council providing £100. In the evening he received a deputation from the Domain Board and Te Arolia residents. Mr Larnach spoke in high terms of the baths, which he thought most valuable. There was a great future before tho place, and he promised to do all he could to have a further grant of £1,000 given for their development by Government. He promised to recommend a subsidy of £2 to £1 for making a connection to the new battery, tha County Council to find £500. He said the work had his heartiest sympathy, and exprocsod the opinion that the granting of £3,000 to tho county ought to be con ditional on their doing this work and recouping Mr Ferguson the amount he had spent on tho lower track. He is arranging a plan whereby this and all mining districts may have the benefit of Professor Black'is lectures. Ho discouraged the use of dia mond drills.

The party left for Auckland yesterday morning via Morrinsville.

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

The ordinary mooting was held last even ing. Present: —Messrs W, Gorrio (in the chair), Hannon, McMaster, Crowther, and Shaldors. A lotter from the Board ex plained matters with referenco to the half holiday dispute in terms previously pub lished, which woro considered satisfactory. In response to an application, Mr E. M. C. Harrison was granted one month's leave of absence, owing to serious illness. Mr Hart, Headmaster of Nelson-street School, wrote etatlng that it was necessary to increase his present teaching staff, tho number on the roll boing 530—an increase of 100 since he had taken over tho management. Con sideration of this matter was post poned. Mr Thwaites wrote complain ing that his salary for the past quar ter was at tho rato of £25 per annum below that allowed by the rules and regula tions of the Board, and asked that the Com mittee would inquire re the matter. It was agreed to forward Mr Thwaites's letter to the Board, with favourable recommenda tion. Tho Secretary of the Newton Schools Committee wrote inquiring what was the scale of fees (extras) in the city schools. It was agreed to lequest head-masters in the city schools to furnish the required information. A circular was received from the Board suggesting a conference of the Committee and head teachers, to revise rules and regulations, and forward sugges tions to the Board. Consideration was postponed for a fortnight. This was all the business.

LOCAL INSURANCE BOARDS CONDEMNED.

(by telegraph—press association.)

Invkroargill, this day. A meeting of policy-holders in the Go vernment Insurance Department was held on Monday evening, to consider the pro posal to establish local boards in Christ church, Auckland, and Dunedin. The following resolution was submitted :— " That this meeting is of opinion tho busi ness of the Government Insurance Associa tion can best be administered by one Central Board, both on the score of efficiency and economy, besides securing uniformity of administration ; it therefore disapproves of the proposal to establish local boards of directors 88 being mischievous, extravagant, and unnecessary." It was objected that the motion was too sweeping in its terms, and ultimately it was withdrawn in favour of the following, which was carried unanimously :—That, in the opinion of this meeting, the proposal of the central board to create local boards in Auckland, Cbristchurch, and Dunedin, is premature ; and further, that before local boards are established a vote of the policy holders should bo taken on the subject." During discussion it was stated that the meeting had been called out of no spirit of antagonism to the Central Board, but merely to elicit the viewa of tho members on a mat ter regarding which there appeared to be great diversity of opinion.

PUBLIC MORALS IN CHRIST CHURCH.

Curistchurch, this day. At the Magistrate's Court yesterday, Mr Beotham, R.M., in sentencing a woman of ill-fame, said he was sorry to see that since the operation of the Contagious &ct had ceased in Christchurch there had been a considerable increase in public solicitation cf prostitution, whicti was not confined, as formerly, to well !;nown prostitutes, but now includod young <;irls and married women. He considered that tho Booner the Act was brought into forco again the better it would be for evorybody.
