DEATH OF CAPTAIN RATTRAY.

'Another well-known figure lias passed away in the person of Captain William Rattray, who died yesterday morning at his residence, Victoria Road, Devonport, in his 81st year. Some three weeks ago he fell ill and Dr. Parkinson was called in. Symptoms of tetanus supervened and a ago the services of Dr. A. G. iPurchas were also brought into re quisition. The condition of the patient [improved somewhat for a time, but his ; great age militated against his recovery, I and within the past week there was a '' relapse. He sank rapidly, and awaited •• his dissolution with fortitude, pass im Ing away in the midst of his • relatives. The ~ deceased arrived at ! Melbourne in 1853 in the barque Elizabeth, I; of which he was the owner. From Mcl : bourne he came •on to Auckland, and in conjunction with Captain Lilewall es ! tabiished a well-known and Hourshing chip-chandlery business. After many years it was purchased by Mr H. F. Ander son;, and Captains Rattray and Lilewall re ! tired into private life. In the days of I.provincialism Captain Rattraj was a nieni ••jber of the Auckland Provincial Council, ; and he took an active part in form ing the Freedom of Religion Society ■ for the purpose of protesting against the ' payment by the colony of grunts to certain 1 denominations. More recently , , he be 'carae a Trustee of the Auckland Sav ings Bank, and he has always been an v en ergetic and exemplary member of •the Christian Brethren, In their .Meet ling House in Cook-street Captain and Mrs Rattray publicly celebrated their Volden wedding sotno 7 or 8 years ago, and ' were then presented with an address. Mrs Rattray died a'oon t two years ago. Almost to the last the Captain looked.Jiale ahci vigorojie. Hβ leaves a son and numerous jjrand and great grandchildren

PARLIAMENTARY GOSSIP.

A SCENE IN THE HOUSE.

SIR JULIUS VOGEL CENSURED BY

THE SPEAKER

(BY TtXKCKAI'H.—Si'KCIAL REPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. There were some sharp breezes between the Premier and the leader of the Opposi tion last night, and so bitter a feeling was occasionally shown as to leave the im pression on one's mind that an Atkinson- Vogel combination is absolutely out of the question. Sir Julius Vogel, in speaking to the Address -in - Reply, had criticised the personnel of the Cabinet very freely, .and had hinted that Mr Fisher, Minister for Education, had gained the portfolio because he had threatened to make it hot for Ministers if his ambition in that direction was not grati fied. Major Atkinson, who followed, gave this an emphatic denial, and declared that because Mr Fisher had had the courage to leave the late Ministry when he disagreed with their views, he had been persistently persecuted ever since. Sir Julius Vogel interjected: That is absolutely untrue, and the hon. gentleman knows it is untrue. (Cries of "Oh !") The Speaker: Language of that kind is not permissible in the blouse, and I hope the hon. gentleman will see proper to with draw it. Sir Julius Vogel : That expression has been u.sed here, and will be found reported in Hansard several times, I can assure you. The Speaker : I cannot allow it, and I re quire you to apologise. Sir Julius Vogel': If you will permit me I withdraw it. The Speaker said that this was all he desired. Honourable members must be courteous to one another, and members who were in oflice and had been in office ought to set an example to other members of "the House who were now entering on their career. (Cheers.) M.ajor Atkinson said he was quite satis fied, and did not propose to pursue the matter further. Sir Julius Vogel .said he had desired to I withdraw the offensive part of his contra ' diction, but not the contradiction itself The Speaker: Applying the word "untrue" to a member of the House in what I object to." Major Atkinson : And I repeat, sir, exactly what I said as being in accordance with the fact. ,

Elective Gc vomer.

Sir Geo. Grey has waived the right to in troduce the Bill of which he gave notico_ making the Governor elective in favour of Mr Joyce, who will probably proceed with it.

Pensioner Settlements.

Sir Geo. Groy has ascertained from letters from Homo that thcro is a desire on tho part of both sides of the English Parliament to procure pensioners' settlements in this colony.

Compromising the Protectionists.

It is considered by the few Government, supporters who attended the meeting of protectionists that the move was an at tempt to comprnmi.se them, and they are not likely to attend any further caucus of a similar nature till alter the Financial Statement is down. I am assured by a reliable authority that there are not more than live and twenty protectionists on principle in the House, while on tho other hand there are 39 de clared free trailers.. The remainder include a large number of members without pro nounccd views, who say they wish to see encouragement given to local industries.

, Auckland Petitions. The following petitions of Auokjnnd interest were presented to-day: — James and Mary Given; for compensation for loss of land (Mv Hamlin); £ok granb of land for services 1 id the colony (Mr Hamlin); T. W. Fortcr and two others, relative to settlement, of lands on the Bast Coast (Graham); Dorothy Susan McCane, for compensation for damage caused by sparks from railway engine (Mitehelson) ; Miles Leijrhton, for an enquiry into his case (Mitchelson); Frank Set-h .Smith and <16 others, relative to injury to John Morley (Mitchelfion); petition from Morley, relative to injuries, and Margaret Hepburn, relative to erection of boundary fence (Monk). /

An Elective Governor.

The question of giving the people of the colony a right to elect their own Governor, which is a plank in every Radical platform, wee brought before the House yesterdpyin practical form. Mr Joyce gave notice of hi? intention to ask the Government whether they proposed to introduce such reform, and immediately afterwards Sir G. Grey announced that today he would introduce a bill giving the male in habitants of the colony power to elect our Governor.

Railway Board of Appeal for Auckland

The Minister for Public Works, in formed Mi- Hobbs that he hdpes, in a few days, to announce the appointment of a Board of Appeal for the railway employees in Auck land which would give satisfaction. This matter was under the consideration of the Government at the time when they retired from office. No application has yet been made for the Board of Appeal for Welling ton.

Heavy Impost on Chlnamon,

Thirty bills were introduced at yesterday afternoon's sitting by private members. Mr Ballance gives Municipal Councils power of imposing a tax on Chinese. The Celestials are developing strong proclivities, and in Wellington they keep a large num ber ot groceries and frnib stores, and com pletely undersell European vendors.

Appointment to the Legislative Council

Mr Taylor asked the, Premier yesterday whether any appointments had been made to the- Legislative Council, and in doing so urged that Council was not a place for resurrecting those who are politically killed. Major Atkinson declared there was no truth in the report, and said the matter had not received considera tion. It had no consideration from him except that he had decided not to ask the Governor to put anyone in the Up|ier llouse unless necessity should arise. This guarded reply was received with laughter.

Half-Holiday to Surfacemen

Mr Bruce has urged upon-the Minister the right of surfacemen on railways to half holiday on Saturday, at the same time expressing a hope that if nothing were done at present, the matter should be considered during the recess. , Mr Mitchelson promised to give the question, which was a large one, his consideration and see if anything could be done in the way of a coneessioii.; '

Bills

Among the bills introduced yesterday, were the following , : To repeal the Native Administration Act (Mr Taipua); To repeal the Contagious Disease Act, (Grey); Educational Franchise, (Major Steward); Intlux of Chinamen I'revention, (Mr Seddoti); A Bill Empowering the Govt of New Zealand to submit to the Im perial Parliament, certain proposals affect ing the Maori race, (Mr Tawhanga.).

Mr Newson's claim to the Custom-house work is further recognised by .Mir Mifcchel son. , .

The Adjournment of the House,

There is some talk of resisting an ad journment beyond Tuesday week, but the Premier is likely to insist on a fortnight.

Police and Warders,

Dr. Fitehett gives notice this afternoon to, ask the Government whether they in tend establishing a Buperai>naatiop fund for the police ; also; whether' they will relieve warders from the duty of flogging pr^sonere.;

Jubilee Hotel Chartered as a f*f>- It transpires that the charter of the Old Working Men's Club held by Mr Mason has been transferred to the Jubilee Hotel at Newmarket, winch wiU now be known as the Cariton Club. _Mx Goldie who h*s been appealed to from Auckland in the matter asserts that nothing can be done here to stay the effect of the action and the question will have to be fought out in Auckland.

TJie Unemployed,

Mr Goldie represented to the Govern ment the claims of the Auckland un employed to a ihare in relief works, as employment has been provided the whole of this year, both at Canterbury and Otago, and further relief, is being sought from those places. Canterbury, at present has 244 men on relief works, and Otago 188. Sir Julius Vogel Leads the Opposition.;; At last night's meeting of the Opposition party there were twenty-five present and t> ;n accounted for. Sir Julius was unanimously chosen leader, and it was resolved .to give him cordial support. Mr Walker was ap pointed whip.

THE SUICIDE AT ONEHUNGA.

An inquest on tho body of John Bamford Kollsall was held in the Railway Terminus Hotel at 10 o'clock this morniny; before R. C. Barstow, Esq., Coroner.

Abel Kellsall, son of the deceased, sworn, deposed : I live in Onehunga. My father was 63 or 64 years of age. Ho was an en gineer by tracje, bub had been of no busi ness lately. 1 did not see my father yester day until after the occurrence. The last time i saw him was on Wednesday evon ino- about 6 o'clock. He was then in his usual state of health apparently, but complained that he was not well. Hβ complained of his head. Yesterday morning mother asked me to look for father, and to go to Ternahan'e Hotel and see if he was there. I went, but he was not there. Mr Ternahan said ho hnd not been there for a week, I then came home, and went to groom my horse and at the stable end 1 saw ray father's belt at the bottom of the steps. I picked it up and took it inside, and said isn't this his belt. I left the bele inside and went back to tho stable. When I heard something moving about in the loft, 1 went back and told my-brother Moses, I said I thought father was up there, we went back to the stable, I looked un and saw his hands covered with blood, he was 1 lying across the trap-door over th« manger. I ran in again and told Moses what I had seen. I then ran to Dr. Erpon'a, but he was not in ; then to Oilman's; then to Dr. Scott, who cjimo down with mo. I had no idea that my father contemplated this act; he had'rievor in my hearing snid anything to lead me to think that he would take hip own life. Ho had been drinking after the election!-, but he was sober when I saw him on the Wednesday. He was not in embarrassed circumstances or in any trouble whatever. There was no domestic trouble or quarrel of any kind. ;■•-■■■ , Mrs Jane Kelsali, wife of deceased doposod : We came to New Zealand in 1863. Wβ landed in Chrietchurcb, and camo to Onehunga in 1864. The deceased had usually very good health. He was a sober man, ho would continue for three months at a time without drinking: but after the recent election he took somo drink and it hod effect upon him. I cannot give any reason or probablo cause why my husband committed this act. \ - v ' Mosee Kelsall, anotherHon of tho deceased, deposed: When called by my brother, I went up on the loft. The firsb thing I saw was ft pdol of'blood and my'fathers hnb : and looking along the loft 1 saw my father lying on the 4iay with his firm down tho hole through which the hay is put for the .horses. I ran .rfnd lifted the accit«*d and-rained his hetA'And fc*£t in this position until Dr. Scott and othe'fassist ance cftihe. "My father was still alive then, lie' was speechless and moaning, I fancy he wanted to speak to me but could not, Sergeant Barnard Greene deposed to having proceeded to the ecene-of the tragedy immediately after the alarm being given. Saw the deceased with tits throat cut, and a large quantity of blood on the end of the oft on which the deceased was lying. The deceased was then alive and breathing very heavily. Saw the decensed conveyed to the house where he observed two gashes one in the bend of ear and at the elbow joint. Also saw side portion in the stomach. Afterwards, in company with Constable Haslett, proceeded toJjhe hayloft, where they found the knife pro duced. The knife was open and the blood quite fresh on It.] By the foreman: Corresponding cuts were in the shirt, to the five wounds in the pit of the stomach. From all surroundings, I have no reason to think that the wounds wore other than self inflicted.

Dr. Scott deposed to being summoned to the loft over the stable in rear of Kelsall'a premises* and found the deceased lying on some hay. There was some blood, but not much in the immediate vicinity. I found a wound in "the* throat, just above the theoride carcalage about ]£ inches broad, severing the larynx or windpipe,and wounding the onsophagusor gullet. The wound was a jagged wound,, not evidently done by one stroke; much force must have been used, as the knife came in contact with the anterior or upper part of the theoride earcalage which is,as hard as bone. There was a wdund" on each arm near the wound of the elbow, there was a little- blood oozing' from these wounds, but the-hemorrage was pracr tically ceased. . There wae an inside skin wound, about 5 inches long on the left side of the neck, but no hemorrage came therefrom. All the wounds were in my opinion self-inflicted. I The Jury, .after brief consideration, re turned the,, following verdict That the deceased, John Danford Kolsall, came to his death by self'inflicted wounds, caused through mental derangement, arising-from lofts of sleep ! #nd r£sfc.*"'
