VOLUNTEER NEWS.

Rifle Match

The shooting match arranged to take place between teams representing the Cit^ Guards and O Battery eventuated at the Mount Eden Range on Saturday last, the former winning after a good contest by 6 points. The 0 Battery only mustered a team of five men, and from the Guards' team present an equal number were selected to do battle on their behalf. The weather was unfavourable for good scoring, rain falling throughout the afternoon. The carbines made the best shooting at the 500 yards range, and towards the finish looked decidedly dangerous, but they were unablo to wipe off the lead obtained by the rilles at the short ranges, the Guards winning as above stated by 6 points. Ranges—2oo, 300, and 500 yards, 5 shots at each. Sub joined are the scores :—

CITY GUARDS.

Navals.

The Auckland, Ponsonby, and Waite mata Naval Companies assembled at the Drill-shed at half-past three on Saturday. Captain Leßoy commanded, and all the officers in connection with the Companies were present. The muster numbered :— Auckland, 45; Ponsonby, 43; and Waite matas, 30 ; giving a total of 118 rank and file. There would, no doubt, have been a much larger muster had it not been for the inclemency of tho weather. From the Drill-shed the men were marched on to the front of the Choral Hall, there put through the judging distance, and then fell in, marched back to the Drill-shed, and were dismissed. The band belonging to the battalion was also in attendance.

Notice is given that all the members of the Auckland Naval Company who have not gone tlirough their first practice for class-firing are to muster at the Rifle Range at 4 p.m. pn Wednesday, when an officer will be present to put them through.

CREAMERIES IN WAIKATO.

What tlic Frozen Meat Company

are Doing.

(by telegraph.— own correspondent.)

Hamilton, this day. The site of the creamery at Ngaruawahia in connection with the Auckland Freezing Company has been pegged out, and the buildings will be erected forthwith. It is expected that everything will be completed and that the milk will be ready for treat ment in a fortnight. The settlers along the river have promised the requisite num ber of cows. The cheese factory at Pater rangi will also have the necessary altera tions made on Monday next, so that they will also be able to take cream for treatment in a fortnight. As for Hamilton, Mr Spragg has not had the number oi cows guaranteed, viz., 400, some 160 yet being required, uapt. Steele and Mr A. Swarbrick think, how ever, that they will be able to secure the required number by Monday, and when this is done the Waikato Dairy Factory will be put in order for the reception of milk. During the short time Mr Spragg has been in the district he has got over a lot of work. It is to be hoped that the creameries will turn out not only profitable to the pro moters, but also to the producers.

PAPAKURA SENSATION.

FIVB GEfiMANS AKBESTED.

Tiie ©tlier Side of tiie Story

Constable McKnigiit, of Papakura, has reported to Inspector Sherman the arres of five Germans, charged with a serious assault on a settler named Walter Alfred White, particulars of which were given in our last issue. The Germans were arrested by the constable without any trouble, and from descriptions given by White. Their names are Frederick Moichere, Henry Hench, Carle Borgotte, Wilhelm Borgotte, and Jene • Warlick. They were before the Court at Papakura and remanded until the 11th inst., bail being.,allowed. The Germans have a version of the affair somewhat at variance withal given by White. It is assorted on their side that the disagreement is one between landlord and tenant, and the landlord, Thos. Halliwell, alleges that the tenant, Walter Wbite, first assaulted him before the Germans did any thing. It is also likely that Halliwell will take legal action against White on another charge, so that quite an interesting case is promised.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS.

His Honor said on account of this evidence and the prisoner's youth, he would discharge him on his own recognizance to come up fo sentence when called upon.

G. W. OWEN'S BANKRUPTCY.

G. W. Owen is undergoing his examination by the Official Assignee as we go to press. He states that he has been in busi ness in Auckland for 28 years. From Oct ober 1860 to December 1865 he had a retail store and in the latter year he gave it up as he was comparatively easy. In 1870 his capital was about £4,200 over and above all liabilities. In July 1874 his warehouse was destroyed by fire, which reduced his capital to £3550 Bs. Mr Dewar joined him in 1874, putting £1,200 into the business and a further sum of £900. In 1876 their capital was £6246, ojE which his own portion was £3962 and Mr Dewar's £2284. In January, 1882, their capital had grown from 4.'6,200 to aboub £11,000, or at the rate of £800 & year beyond expenses. They considered that an increase of capital would result in a great ex pansion of profits and they therefore floated the Auckland Agricultural and Mer cantile Company with a subscribed capital of £62,000, their stock-in-trade, goodwill, warehouse and entered in vessels being sold to tho Company at a valuation agreed upon. Instead of cash, they received 5,000 shares paid up to 20s each for the goodwill, with a promise that those shares should not be transferable for 5 years. Those shares had no value as tl c Company j7ent into voluntary liquidation before tho five years expired, ln addi tion Mr Dewar and himself had taken up five thousand shares each in the Company, in the belief that not over 20a per share would be called up, and that 2Qs per share in the subscribed capital would m sufficient for the Co.'s requirements. Since then they had paid into the Com pany all their capital except four pieces of land worth under £100. In October, 1882, their property tax returns shewed (after contributing £5,000 to the capital of the Company) property to the value of £5,840, of which £980 was cash. The total liabilities of the old firm at that date were £1,117 showing a substantial credit surplus including the contributions of the Company, of over £10,500. The Company was not a success, owinc; to the decline in the valve of merchandise, bad debts and the total collapse of the shipping trade. In January last he bought the stock and trading plant of the Company valued at £8,920 on credit and the book debts amounting to £906. His new bnsiness "would have been successful but for the contingent liability of calls. In Julj' the liquidators of the Company resolved to call up the balance of the capital and as he knew that he could not possibly contribute anything more, he almost ceased to buy on credit and finally called a meeting of his principle creditors. He submitted a balance to them showing a profit on the eight months transactions of £2bo. The creditors under took to try and make a compromise for the balance of bankrupt's liability for calls but found that this could not be done without the assent of the shareholders of the company andsomeof them objected. Beingunable to meet the calls, therefore he was compelled to seek relief in the Bankruptcy Court.

Mr W. F. Judson writes:-—"'The follow ing telegram was received from Hokianga on Saturday last: ' Mrs Forbes, care of W. F. Judson, Ponaonby,—^o flour or stores. Township starved out waiting for stoamer. —A. Forbes.' It is now five weeks since Mrs Forbes, with her family of seven child ren, arrived here from Greymouth on her way to Hokianga to join her husband. The s.s. Oreti had just returned from her last trip North when Mrs Forbes landed in Onehunga, 'and was advertised to make her next trip on September sth. The Oreti was, however, detained, ostensibly by the weather, and put off till the 7th. Then she suddenly changed her programme, and decided to make two trips running to New Plymouth, leaving out the Hokianga trip. Left for New Plymouth September 7th, was disabled "on the way down, and after being windbound for a week, returned to Onehunga, September 15th. It seems that some repairs that were effected at New Plymouth were not of a permanent charac ter. A new shaft had to be made, but although it should have been known that this would take nine or ten days, the boat was advertised to go to Hokianga on the 19th, thus allowing just four days forrepairs. Since then she has been put off from day to day, and now after having lain at the wharf in Onehunga for eighteen days her depar ture seems as problematical as ever. Ob viously the proper thing to have been done when the Oreti was laid up was to send some other boat to Hokianga. The service to Hokianga is a weekly one, and Mr Waller is under contract with the Government to send once a month to Whangape. It is now nearly six weeks since the steamer has visited these places." With reference to the above we learn on inquiry that the Oreti is now ready and will leave the moment the weather moderates. An effort was made to charter a vessel, but owners are chary about allowing their steamers to go into Whangape.

Captain Edwin ,advises:—W.jand S. and S.E., heavy gale, weather continue very cold and glass rise soon.

Mr Joseph; Kennerley, Sheep Inspector, died suddenly at Wanganui, *4iis mom jig.

THE POLITICAL CRISIS.

MAJOR ATKINSON'S MOVEMENTS,

FORMATION OP AN ANTI-VOGEL

PARTY.

HIS CHANCES OF SUCCESS

PROBABLE AUCKLAND MINISTERS.

MR BALLANCE AND THE RADICAL

PARTY.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] g Wellington, this day. Major Atkinson left for Nelson on Satur» day. It is his first visit home since the elections, and he has the work of the ses. sion before him. 1 imagine, however, that he is not sorry to get out of the way of troublesome newspaper men.

I understand that Major Atkinson has addressed a circular telegram to all mem. be'rs of the House who are believed to be opposed to Sir Julius Vogel, with the ob ject of deciding upon a leader. He sug gests that a meeting should be held on Wednesday next, and states that he will not undertake the formation of a Cabinet until the members declare who shall assume the position of Premier.

This move is a very artful one.because as soon as the Premier is chosen the members who selected him would feel more or less bound to support any Cabinet he might choose. i The Auckland members, I hear, cannot reach Wellington till late ou Wednesday night, so that it is propable the meeting will be postponed till Thursday. The proceedings of Parliament will, of course, be of a routine character. Members will be sworn in, and settle their places, and the work of lobbying will be promptly begun. i Various names are mentioned as likely men for a portfolio. Among them, Messrs Moss, Peacock, and J. B. Whyte, as well as Mr Mitchelson, aro considered in the count for Auckland.

Mrßallance believes that there is a chance of re-forming the Liberal party, and i g endeavouring to unite the Radicals in the House into a party distinct from the Atkin son and Vogel sections, forming a kind of third party. Sir Robert Stout's defeat and the strained relations between Sir George Grey and Mr Ballance are, hoAvover, ob stacles to the success of this movement.

Although Major Atkinson only asked the Governor for time till Friday next to de cide whother he will undertake the forma tion of a Ministry, he will doubtless obtain as much more time aa ho requires if he is able to give His Excellency some assurance that he has a reasonable chance of success.

I fancy, however, that there will be some trouble in getting anything like a majority of the Houso to give him, or any other leader, an unconditional pledge of support; and if seeing his way to an absolute majority is an indispensable condition to the formation of a Cabinet he will have to hand the duty over *to other hands. As a matter of fact, how ever, I think it will bo found that Major Atkinson's tactics are directed towards dis covering the feeling of tho party with re gard to Sir John Hall and other leaders, and if he feels that he has anything like a strong support for the Premiership, he will take ifc, and trust .to his policy and his whips to carry him through.

There are no members in town yet and of course political gossip is quiet.

Sir R. Stout* has, in deference to the wishes of the Governor, decided not to re turn South until the New Ministry is

formed,

FIRE NEAR PAPAKURA.

A dwelling-house and cart shed belong ing to Mr Henry Chamberlain, and rented by Mr S. Head, situated at Karaka seven miles distant from Papakura, were burned down yesterday. The tenant being absent, no particulars as to insurances or origin were obtainable.

The water-police were out all Saturday afternoon searching for the body of young MacLennan, who is supposed to have been drowned on tbe 25th of last month. All the north shore of tho har bour from Shoal Bay to beyond Kauri Point was thoroughly searched, but no signs of the body were seen. A party of the young man's friends were out yester day from morning till late at night, and ex plored both sides of the harbour, but their efforts were fruitless and it is now a doubt ful question whether the body will be found at all. The accident must have taken place up near the tide up towards Kauri Point way, and the bodies of two or three persons who have been drowned there have never been recovered. Mr Mc- Leod, who was supposed to have left with McLennan,did not do so,and he is at present in town.
