MINING ACCIDENT AT WAIORONGOMAI.

(by telegraph—own correspondent),

Te Aeoha, this day. A serious accident occurred at Waiorongo asai this morning. It appears that three man named Thomas Scott and Ben Hity $*f Waiorongomai) and George Road (from Sfe Aroha West), who are employed in the Colonist mine, went to work as usual, and wore assisting Scott, who was engaged at tha smithy outside the mine sharpening Borne tools, and who in tempering a pick plunged it red hot into some water which re gulted in an explosion, whereby the end of tbo smithy was blown out and Scott received a severe injury in the side, Reid Avas badly burnt about the legs, whilst Hill although thrown down escaped with some slight bruises. The men promptly received medical attention, and are not likely to be permanently injured by the accident, although severely knocked about. It is believed the explosion was occasioned by some glycerine having escaped from cartridges placed in the water contained in the vessel into which the pick to be tempered was thrust, and the presence of which was unknown to the men.

TONGA.

11. N. OPAL'S - MISSION.

AFFAIRS AT SAMOA-

The schooner Maile, which arrived from Tonga and Samoa this afternoon, brings ro news of special importance concerning the state of affairs either social or political at either place. The Opal was at Tonga on the.l2th inst., but the object of her visit was nob known. She was supposed to be waiting for orders ex pected to arrive from Sydney by the s.s. JLubeck. The German squadron was at Samoa when the Maile left about a fortnight ago, and gave, no sign 3of moving their quarters. Tamasese was still in power andMalietoa was still "wanted" by the Germans, but could not be discovered. Things were generally in a very unsettled and unsatisfactory state, much as reported in previous communications. The German Commodore issued a pro clamation notifying that all who would not join Tamasese's party prior to the September would be considered rebels, and on that- date a large meeting was held at Mulinnu Point. The meeting was said by the Germans to have been convened by Tamasese, and at this meeting they called upon all to sign allegiance to that chief, recognising him as sole ruler in the place of Ma!is oa. A great many of the natives did so, but it is said that they had no choice, and a great many did not, by disobeying the order to attend the meet ing. The five German war vessels had parties out daily making search both inland and along the coast for the deposed King Malietoa, but up to the time of the Maiie'B departure they had been unsuccess ful

CIVIL SITTINGS.

(Before Mr Justice Ward.) The Incandescent Light Dispute. —George Rhodes v. John Kerr; action to declare an agreement void.—Mr Theo. Cooper for the plaintiff and Mr Edwin Heskelh for the defence.—Mr Cooper occupied the greater part of yesterday afternoon in opening the case to the jury, after which the evidence in chief of the plaintiff was taken until 5 o'clock, when the Court ad journed. The jury were allowed to return to their homes. At 10 o'clock this morning His Honor Mr Justice Ward held a pitting in Chambers for half-an-hour, the business under consideration being the settlement by the counsel for the plaintifl and defend ants of the issues of fact in the case, which they were willing should be submitttcd to the jury. These will consist merely of questions of fact.while pointsof law will be decided by His Honor.— His Honor took his seat on the Bench at 11 o'clock. He expressed regret to the jury for the delay, but said that it was just possible that the work done would prove a saving of the time of the jurors. The evi dence in chief of the plaintiff, Mr George Rhodes, was then proceeded with at con siderable length. October Civil Sittings. The following cases are set down for hear ing next week: —With a jury of twelve : John Jones v. Samuel Jackson, junior, claim for delivery up of deeds, in the alter native to pay £936".

ANGLICAN HOME MISSION.

This evening, at eight o'clock, the fourth annual meeting of the Home Mission Society will be held in St. Matthew's School-house, Hobson - street. The choir of St. Paul's Church will render the following choice pieces of music:— Solo and chorus, "How Lovely are Thy Dwellings Fair" (Spohr); solo (soprano), "The Winter's Story" (Watson); duet (tenor and bass), " When Thou Passest Through the Waters," (Davis); solo (with 'cello obligate), " The New Kingdom " ( Tours ) ; chorus, " The Lord is My Shepherd" (Macfarren.) The Bishop of Auckland will preside, and a paper will be read by the Bey. T. H. Sprott on "Work in a London Parish." For five years Mr Sprott was engaged in the work of the Church in London. He will be able to speak of work that is very little understood in this country, where both pleasures and cares are of a very different nature to what they are in the Old Country. The second paper is by the organising clergyman, the Rev. J. H. Hazelden, on " The Progress of the Home Mission." This is the special work to Avhich Mr Haselden has devoted himself, and he'is thoroughly acquainted with the whole diocese and- its history in the past. Trie1 Church of England is making an effort to keep pace with the settlement of the people on the land, by taking to them the ministrations of her clergy, and as the new settlers will be unable to help with money assistance for some time to come, there is all the more reason for those who can to help the Church in this work. The life of an early settler is often a hard one for the first few years, and we may sup pose that the ministration and engagement of clergy, who have had some experience in other parts of the country, will be cheering. There is no charge for admission to the meeting. A collection will be made in aid of the funds of the Society.

The weekly meeting of the Beresford street Mutual Improvement Society was held last evening. The programme con sisted of a paper on " The Life and Works of Sir Walter Scott," varied by extracts from several of his poems given by various members. The meeting was the last of the present session, and n very pleasant and profitable evening was spent.

Messrs B. Tonks and Co. held a sale to day, by order of the executors in the estate of the late Mrs S. H. Fuller of several pro perties situated in the township of Whan garei. The attendance of buyers was large, and included many residents of Whangarei. Competition was animated throughout, and prices obtained for the several lots were as under: —Shop and allotment, being lot 15, section 6, £175—purchaser, S. B. Siddall; shop and allotment, being lot 16, section 6, £370—purchaser, S. B. Siddall; shop and allotment, being lot 17, section 6, subject to a mortgage of £200 at 10 per centum per annum, £170—purchaser, S. B. Siddall; two allotments of i acre each, fronting Bank-street, £42 each—purchaser, A. Reed. The-same firm sell the Settlers' Hotel, Whangarei, on 28th October next.

THE ABANDONED CHILD.

The unfortunate young woman, Mary O'Connor, is still at the Women's Refuge in a very critical condition. Hopes are entertained for her recovery, but it p probable that some considerable time will require to elapse before she can appear to give evidence at the inquest. Mr W. J. Napier has been retained for the defence of Mary O'Connor, and last even ing he called at the Refuge in company with the Rev. Dr. Thomas, of St. Patrick sOathe dral. At Dr. Lindsay's request Mr Napier consented to postpone his interview with the young woman, in consequence of her very critical condition. At present no one is permitted to see her excepting her spiritual advisers and nurses.

The Inquest.

At 2.30 to-day, the Coroner (Dr. Philson) hald the adjourned inquest on the body of the child found on Monday morning on a vacant allotment behind the Thistle Hotel. Mr Napier appeared on behalf of the girl Mary O'Connor, and Mr Cotter also appeared to watch the proceed ings. Dr. Lindsay deposed that the girl named Mary O'Connor was brought to the Hospital by the police on Tuesday afternoon and that she was now lying at the Upper Refuge. He admitted her on account of a letter from Dr. Tenant brought by the detectives requiring her admission. He had her put to bed and at three o clock in conjunction with Dr. Cob bett he administered choloroform and ex amined her, and they found that shehad been recently confined. They performed an operation, removing a portion of the afterbirth. Dr. Coom being present. Fbe inquest was then adjourned till 10 o'clock on Friday, October 7th.

Tenders. —The tender of John MclU wraith, £135 10s, was accepted for erec tion of a school-building at Taheke. Napier-street School. —The plans for the proposed school building in Napier-street were duly considered by the Board. —Mr Allright, the Boards architect, was in attendance, and explained the plans. — Messrs Gorrie and Batty, members of City School Committee, were also present.— Inspector O Sullivan reported that the plan submitted by Mr Batty of the City Schools Committee seemed to have many advan tages, It might possibly lead to some waste of floor space, and some waste of teaching power. Having the same standard or portions of the same standard in one room was anything but an unmixed advantage. —Mr All right reported that a building erected from such a design would cost, including outhouse and fencing, about £2,560. He submitted a sketch plan of a similar design which would cost about £100 less. The central part in both cases to be lighted with skylights instead of a lantern. The plan referred to was of an octagon shaped building. Card board models of the proposed buildings were also exhibited by Mr Batty.—Mr Gorrie said that build ings on similar designs were now in use at Birmingham. Mr J. M. Lennox moved that tenders be called for the erection of a building on the designs submitted by the City School Committee. The front elevations suggested by Mr Allright to be added to the plan. This was seconded by Mr J. Clark, and adopted.
