KEEN
Captain PREECE, Coroner, held an inquest on Saturday afternoon at the Ferry Hotel, Western Spit, on the body of John POWER, whose drowning on Friday night was reported in Saturday's issue. Mr James NORTHE-foreman of the jury and constable HARVEY conducted the inquiry. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been a shepherd at Messrs DOLBEL Bros, station near PETANE, and that he had been drinking rather freely the last few days, but was very quiet and not all a man who would be likely to commit suicide. He called at the FERRY Hotel on Friday afternoon and had a glass of beer,.....more.and it was supposed that in the dark he tumbled into the water.....more..jury returned a verdict of "Found Drowned." Police have received information to the effect that a lad named ELLIS, about 12 years of age, was killed at WAINUI on Saturday by the falling of a tree. The race at the rink on Saturday night was a keenly contested one, and resulted in such a close finish between PARKINS and HERON that Mr FOLEY decided to give each a silver medal. Mr KEEN, who recently travelled under the nom de theatre of "Darkey
Joe," is to be tendered a benefit by the members of the Variety Combination,
of which organisation he is a member. Resident Magistrate's Court-Captain PREECE R.M., Daniel Mc ALISTER-charged with drunkenness-dismissed with a caution-first offence Judgment for plaintiffs yesterday: - "Novel Race" at the rink was won by Mc DONOUGH Miss BENJAMIN will sing the explanatory solos when the tableaux illustrating the ill effects of drink will be given Usual fortnightly meeting of St Augustine's Band of Hope was held last night with 50 children being present. Recitations given by Miss Jessie ROBINSON Sergeant-Major BELL died suddenly yesterday afternoon. On his return
home from his office he stated to his wife that he felt in his usual health,
but he laid down on the couch and subsequently went to bed, where in a
few minutes he expired without uttering a word. He served ten years in India in the second Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, and was through the INDIAN mutiny in 1857 and the ASHANTEE war in 1873-74. He was afterwards stationed in various parts of IRELAND, and 16 years ago was sent out to NEW ZEALAND by the Home government as drill instructor, which position he filled up to the time of his death. Deceased will be accorded a military funeral.. The body of a man named Thomas MANSFIELD was found in the PIRIPIRI clearing near DANEVIRKE on Saturday. An inquest was to have been held at MANGATERA last evening. It is supposed that the man has died from exposure. Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday-before Captain PREECE R.M. Martin ROWE charged with receiving money by false pretences, the lad had a token resembling a shilling and he induced another boy to take it as a coin. The charge was dismissed. The Grand Jury yesterday found true bills in the following cases: - Joseph THOMPSON, alias James McNAMARA-larceny as a bailee In the case of Emily PYKE, charged with breaking and entering a dwelling, the Grand Jurty threw out the bill. E W GIBBS, for carrying explosives in a railway carriage, was fined 1s
with 7s costs. Mr S FRYER was excused from serving on the Grand Jury on the ground that he confined to his bed with a severe cold Mr A.R.

Before the business of the Supreme Court commenced yesterday, Mr G E
LEE, as senior member of the Bar formally welcomed Mr Justice CONNOLLY
on his first official visit to NAPIER.....more THE POVERTY BAY MURDER At the R.M. Court this morning William BLACK was charged with the murder of Robert STREETER about March last. Mr A.M. NOLAN appeared for the Crown and Mr Lincoln REES for the accused. Dr INNES gave evidence as to the identification of the body and finding gunshot wounds in the head and lead in the brain Elizabeth STREETER, wife of the deceased deposed that the prisoner had been staying at her house the past twelve months. STREETER and BLACK took a fencing contract in February last and they left town. Since then she had received letters every week from BLACK which had been burned after reading. The prisoner came back to town and lodged at her house. At the end of March BLACK said that STREETER had left to come to town a fortnight before. That was the only conversation she had ever had with BLACK about her husband.. When the police interviewed her she sent immediately for BLACK, who came to town, and gave her a horse in payment for his board in case he should be arrested. BLACK gave her a wedding ring on July 9th. She suggested he should give her the ring as it was an old one, won out. Prior to STREETER's disappearance the letters from BLACK came addressed to Mrs WILLS. Afterwards he addressed her as Mrs STREETER. She had received various sums of money from BLACK for board. Mrs PRICE came to her place when BLACK was present and said "What about Bob?" meaning (STREETER). "What would he say if he came in now?" BLACK replied "No fear of his coming." STREETER had left her twice before, 12 or 16 years since, for short periods, and her idea was that he would not bother about BLACK much. Charles PRICE, a son of Mr s STREETER's first husband, was the next witness and was frequently cautioned for withholding evidence......more Mary PRICE deposed........more The body of John HAWKINS, a steady lad employed for some time past in Mr CRERAR's shop, and who has been confined to bed with "La Grippe" for some days, was yesterday washed up by the surf near the ALBION Hotel. Deceased was being attended to by Dr. MOORE at the house of Mr FULLER, where he boarded, and was apparently progressing favourably towards recovery. Mrs FULLER left his bedside at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, after watching him for several hours, and on returning about 7 o'clock found that he had disappeared. It transpired that some little boys named TRONSON saw deceased enter the surf, which was fairly heavy, early yesterday morning. He was at once caught up and was probably killed instantly by being thrown violently against the shingle. A watch was kept on the beach all day, and his body was recovered at 3 p.m. and taken to the FULLER residence. Deceased was an orphan, and was a very trustworthy youth. It is supposed
that he became delirious, as his disorder had turned to congestion of
the lungs, and that in his frenzy he had rushed into the surf. When found
the only clothing on the body was a pair of trousers. At Napier on July 22nd after a long and painful illness, George Walter Cullen aged 51 The funeral will leave his late residence Cameron Road aged 3 pm on Thursday.
DEATH-NEWMAN At her residence, Fitzroy Road Napier on Tuesday July 22nd, Isabella-widow of the late Captain Alfred NEWMAN, of Napier and ARLINGTON, Hawke's Bay-aged 74 The funeral will leave her late residence for the cemetery at 3 50 pm today (Thursday) WELLINGTON Sergeant-Major FINN, of CHRISTCHURCH, will probably be appointed to succeed the late Sergeant-Major BELL as drill instructor of the Wellington Volunteers. The Government have replied to MILLAR and THOMAS, who waited on them in connection with the labor difficulties at the Cape Foulwind quarries, to the effect that maintenance men on the railway will be placed on day work instead of under contract. Wellington Racing Club meeting evening Messrs J.S.N. THOMPSON and H D
BELL were appointed delegates to the racing conference next month. John SEARS was drowned this morning while crossing the WAIPARA River
at the KAITERATAHI ford Captain PREECE-Coroner, conducted the inquiry Mr W PREBBLE-foreman of the jury Evidence showed that deceased had been in poor health for the last few weeks, his illness commending with an attack of "La Grippe." He was attended to by Dr MOORE He resided with Mr T P FULLER, and Mrs FULLER who nursed him More..... Clarence TRONSON-nine years of age deposed that on Tuesday morning a
little after 7 o'clock he saw a young man walk down the beach and into
the breakers. The coroner reviewed the evidence, pointing out that it indicated that
deceased was not in his right mind at the time he went into the water,
and the jury returned a verdict of "Suicide whilst temporarily insane." The wheelbarrow race at the rink last night caused a lot of excitement and it was won by PARKINS and HERON The Patea Mail Coach is completely snowed in, and the Tuki Tuki is also very high, so that the mail which should have reached here on Monday last will not arrive until today. The Chief Postmaster yesterday received a telegram stating that a slip had occurred in the Manawatu Gorge, and that the mail from Wellington would in consequence be delayed.

Resident Magistrate's Court-Captain Preece R.M. W LIGHT v W M BROUGHTON-claim for recovery of amount of a dishonoured P.N.-this case has been twice adjourned and the consideration of the Bill was the bringing of 200 natives from the WAIROA to attend a meeting called by the late Chief Renata KAWEPO during 1888. Defendant claimed that this amount should have come from estate and not
from him personally and from evidence to the Court the same view was taken
and it was upheld by the Court and non-suited plaintiff, with costs of
£4 2s and solicitor's fee for £3 3s
The Poverty Bay Murder The R.M. COURT was today again occupied with the charge against William BLACK or murdering Robert STREETER. F. McDONALD-stockman related a conversation he had about Streeter's disappearance...more Arthur PARKINSON, a member of BLACK's camp, gave evidence as to what took place at the camp on March 30 WARING went for stores....more Then BLACK suggested they all knock off which they eagerly did so. Next
day witness found a spade and an axe on a branch track near where the
body was afterwards found. This led them to return to search for the body.
BLACK returned at 7 o'clock in the evening, several hours after witness
and his mate. BLACK said that he had been lost in the bush. Yesterday evening Dr John WAY, passenger on the RUAPEHU, died on board.
The deceased gentleman had been ailing for some time past and for the
past few years had been travelling for the benefit of his health. He took
passage by the RUAPEHU in LONDON, and intended returning by her. Only
very lately he founded the BELGRAVE Hospital for children in Gloucester
Street, PIMILIEO, LONDON. Joseph HARRAP-charged with forging a cheque for £57 (a case similar to that of Hatfield's) was remanded Mr P CUNNINGHAM has received a cablegram from LONDON DATED July 23rd,

BUTCHER AND SLAUGHTER MEN'S UNION Meeting held in the Protestant Hall, Tennyson Street, Napier, on Saturday evening. It was decided to form a Branch of the Union in Hawke's Bay and the following committee were elected: - Messrs J ALDRIDGE About fifty members were enrolled. A very successful concert was held in St Patrick's Hall, Hastings, and last Friday evening in aid of the building fund of the infant school, which is now being built, and which will accommodate about fifty scholars. The hall was crowded. Father PRATIER took the chair and chief items on the programmes were songs and a well written comedy, which the management, profiting by past experience, wisely substituted for the "historical tragedies in seven acts," produced on former occasions. The piece was "My Aunt's Heiress," and being within the powers of the pupils, it was very creditably performed by Misses DANVERS, MADDISON, HEWITSON, SHANLEY, HASTINGS, Mc NAMARA, LIVESEY, KINGSWELL, LILLEY, and WINTON. In the vocal department I may bracket Miss ALDRIDGE and Miss WINTON as singing their respective songs with distinction which older singers might imitate with advantage. R, SHANLEY, and N. CAULTON, on two pianos, had a very good effect. Miss FLYNN did good service in accompaniments for the songs. Taken as
a whole, the entertainment reflected great credit on the good sisters
who taught the children. After the concert Father SMYTHE, in a brief address
thanked the audience for their attendance, paid a graceful tribute to
the sisters who exertions had so promoted the efficiency of the school,
and announced the welcome news that a short holiday was granted to the
children.-(Own Correspondent.) Timothy DONOVAN of Hastings has been adjudged bankrupt and a meeting of creditors will be held at Mr J F JARDINE's office on Thursday at 11 o'clock.

We gather from a comment upon the death of the Marchioness of ELY, published in an English paper, that the deceased's only daughter is wife of Lieutenant-Colonel BUCHANAN, brother to Mr J.J. BUCHANAN of HAMPDEN Amongst the audience present at the BALACLAVA fund concert last evening was a soldier who was an eye witness of the exploit which has made "The Light Brigade" famous. He wore the Crimean medal with clasps of BALACLAVA, SEBASTOPOL, and INKERMAN, and the TURKISH war medal. The CRIMEAN medal bore the wearer's name-Private Thomas WHITE, 2nd Dragoons
(the Scots Greys) and was the object of general interest. HOWELL-WOODFIELD-On July 16th by the Rev S DOUGLAS, Wanganui papers please copy. Deceased was an old settler of the WAIROA, having arrived here in 1869, when he commenced business as a saddler. About 12 years ago he married the widow of the late John GRAY, blacksmith of this place, by whom he received a considerable accession to his means. Subsequently he took up the business of bookseller and General storekeeper, which he carried on successfully. He also acquired a good deal of landed property, and his life was insured for a considerable amount, so the widow and family (three children of PARKER, and two by her former husband) are well provided for. Messrs W MOLONEY and John BLACK are the executors under the will. The late Mr PARKER took an active interest in local affairs, having been chairman of the WAIROA Harbor Board and of the CLYDE Town Board, member of the County council, hospital committee, And other local institutions. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, and was very largely attended, both by townspeople and country settlers. The Foresters, which deceased was a member of, appeared in regalia and carried the coffin up the hill from the gate of the cemetery to the grave. Mr W MOLONEY read the burial service of the Roman Catholic Church to which the deceased belonged, and Mr G B FLINT read that of the Foresters. Deceased who was a nephew of Mr Thomas MORRISON, formerly one of the
proprietors of the HERALD, was much respected as a straightforward and
honourable man of business, and his demise at the early age of 38 years
is much regretted. A man named Mc DERMOTT was arrested on Sunday morning last for trespassing in a married woman's house, insulting her, and refusing to leave when ordered to do so. The woman's husband was absent. Constable TREANOR arrested the culprit....more Sentence-one month's gaol.

A warrant was issued for her arrest, and it was found she had gone to
HAWERA, whence she was brought to undergo her sentence on Saturday last. ***note by Elaine-Typed exactly as written From our own Correspondent Obituary and inquest details I observe by last Saturday's Herald that my telegram to you with reference to the lamentable sudden death of Mr John GLENDINNING, of Waihua, a well known settler of this district, was published in a form different from the message wire to you. The words wrongly put before the name of deceased were liable to be construed as wanting in due respect to the late John Glendinning, he being such a well-known settler and known all over Hawke's Bay. The inquest was held on Saturday last at deceased's residence, Waihua, at 2 p.m. before Mr POWDRELL, J.P., acting coroner, and a jury of six, of whom Mr Neil WALKER was foreman, Laura Sarah GLENDINNING, widow of deceased, gave evidence to the effect that after deceased had done some work he returned to the house, went into the bedroom, complained of weight about the region of the heart, vomited frequently, subsequently went into convulsions, and died in about an hour after being taken bad. Andrew Mc MAHON gave very similar evidence, with the addition that deceased vomited some blood. Both witnesses stated that deceased had often complained of symptoms which pointed to disease of the heart. Dr. ROSS said that from the evidence given by the witnesses he was satisfied that deceased died from heart disease, aggravated by exertion. The jury being satisfied as to the cause of death returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence. The remains were brought into town yesterday and placed in St. Paul's Church, a number of country settlers and townspeople forming a funeral cortege. The body will be conveyed to NAPIER by the s.s. Te KAPU tomorrow, and thence be forwarded to DUNEDIN by the boat going South next Saturday for interment in DUNEDIN. The late John GLENDINNING came to this district about five years ago, having purchased Mr HASSELL'S interest in the WAIHUA run. He was elected a member of the County Council two years ago, which position he held till his death. At the Council meeting last Saturday a motion conveying votes of condolence to the widows of the late Councillors Thomas PARKER and John GLENDINNING was passed unanimously. The Council also adjourned till the evening, the members paying a tribute to the memory of deceased, and expressing sympathy with his family in feeling terms. The Rev. Mr WELSH also in Sunday night's service alluded to the sudden death, and spoke in impressive language of the sad event. Much regret is expressed here, and deep sympathy for the widow and family of five children, two of whom are grown up. Deceased was 47 years of age at the time of his death. There was a good attendance at the special congregational meeting in St Paul's Church last evening. The Rev. J.G. PATERSON presided. Business taking place was the nomination of three members as elders and the annual presentation of prizes to the members of the Choir. For the position of elder those nominated were: - Messrs J W CRAIG Prizes were distributed to members of the choir for attendance and proficiency in the knowledge and practice of music as follows: - Senior members: Miss LINDSAY Junior members- Girls Following four were equal: Winnie SCARFE Boys: Equal- Special-John BROWN The choir sang three anthems, and solos were given by the following members
of the choir: -
Reihi te OMAHUMORE, a Maori woman aged 80 years, was found dead in the Te HAUKE swamp on the 1st inst. The deceased left her whare at Te Hauke about noon on Thursday to obtain "Maori cabbage" from the swamp. As she did not return a search was made next day, and Keita KEREAMA, a grand-daughter of the deceased found her body in the swamp with the head partly under water. The body was brought to the pa and buried next day. It is believed that deceased, who was very infirm, must have lost her way in the raupo, and falling in the water was drowned. The matter having been reported to the police the body is to be exhumed,
and an inquest will be held at Te Hauke today, before Mr H.S. WARDELL,
coroner. Richard LEE was fined 5s and costs for drunkenness. Furniture and effects for sale in the premises of Mr J Park Smith, Marine Parade, NAPIER.

Dr JARVIS will deliver at the Athenaeum this evening the first of a series of lectures on "Rendering First Aid to the Injured." The remains of the late C.H. WEBER will be interred in the Napier cemetery
this afternoon, and the friends of the deceased gentleman are requested
to meet at the cemetery at 3.30 o'clock. It is conjectured that Mr WEBER
must have died from heart disease, some of his relatives having died from
a similar cause, and this theory seems borne out by all the circumstances
attendant upon Mr Weber's disappearance and the finding of his body. The
deceased was a most expert bushman, and could not have lost his way. TYLEE-At Wellington, the wife of Mr W. H.

Mc KENZIE was desirous of catching the train at 9.30 o'clock, and accordingly started in SNELLING'S cab for the railway station. A few minutes later SNELLING was found unconscious on the road near the corner of Munro and Stations streets. He was taken to Dr de LISLE's surgery, but the doctor being out the unconscious man was taken to Dr CARO'S. He proved to be badly injured, his wound including a cut on the head which had laid bare the skull, and some severe contusions on the face and Dr CARO ordered his immediate removal to hospital and with Constable FELTON accompanying him thither. SNELLING became partly conscious today but has no recollection of the accident, and the only suggestion he can make is that he must have had a fit and fallen off his cab. While all that had been related was happening to SNELLING on Saturday night, his horses took the cab on to the railway station, thence into Carlyle Street, round the Hyderabad road, through the Spit, and safely threaded night traffic of the Shakespeare road, until they slackened down to breast the hill. Mr GILMOUR, of PETANE seeing them pass driverless, got on the box and drove to the company's stables, where he left the vehicle and horses to be found by their owner. On opening the cab at the stables, the gentleman who was in a hurry to
get to the station was found sleeping peacefully within, blissfully unconscious
of all mundane affairs.
The many friends of Keith WILSON, formerly of the Telegraph Department, and well known to amateur dramatic circles, will be pleased to hear that he is "rolling on the tide that leads to fortune," for he has received a lucrative appointment of Manager to the Australian Accident Insurance Company in Brisbane. Mr WILSON'S energy has brought him to the fore, for he had been only six months in the employ of the company when he received the valuable appointment mentioned. A school teacher at FOXTON named Herbert WOODHAM has applied for a patent for a siphon arrangement to milk cows automatically.

Resident Magistrate's Court-Mr W.R. BLYTHE, J.P., Charles ROBERTS and Edward ANDERSON-charged with drunkenness Woodville correspondent writes under yesterday's date: - Much concern is expressed in Woodville and Palmerston at the disappearance of Mr WALTON, surveyor, of the latter town. He started yesterday from Woodville on horseback, and his horse was afterwards found riderless. A thorough examination of the river and the ground on each side of the road of the Gorge has failed to discover any trace of the missing man. Lately a man named Charles Ocean THOMPSON, whose name was once familiar
to your Napier readers has attempted to interest Palmerston People in
a copper mine which he claims to have discovered near the bridge at this
end of the Gorge. Mr Walton was interested in ores and in the collection
of specimens. It is thought that perhaps he dismounted and entered the
bush to examine the place, and that some accident has happened to him.

HBH 1890 August 18 JACKMAN-CAVANAGH Last week an excise officer named JACKMAN, accompanied by Constable CAVANAGH, made a surprise visit to ROTORUA. It appears that a large quantity of malt had been consigned to a firm in TAURANGA, but nothing is known as to what has become of it. Suspicion was aroused that the malt had been forwarded in this direction
for illicit distillation purposes. The matter has been reported to the police, and telegrams have been forwarded
to all outlying stations. The father can advance no explanation of the
occurrence, except that he has a married daughter at TAKAPAU whom the
child was anxious to join, and that the latter may have gone out with
some vague idea of finding her way to the bush. The missing girl is very
small for her age, and wore a black and white dress and red pinafore when
last seen. TAYLOR-At the Western Spit on the 16th August, suddenly of heart disease,

Charles KAYE-similar offence PETTY LARCENY THE DOG CASE Miss CUNNINGHAM For the defence, George WILLIAMS, who formerly owned the dog, and Bernard O'KANE "who was in the habit of visiting the premises at various hours of the night and day," testified to its harmless character. Edward BROPHY who described himself as "not an expert in horse-riding," but considered Miss CUNNINGHAM's horse was going as fast as it could; J MILLER, a boy named CULLEN, Sylvester WOODCOCK, and the defendant himself gave a description of the accident and it appeared that the dog was an angelic and innocent victim of a wicked horse, who behaved as if he wanted to adopt a dog diet, and to start by eating a raw St. Bernard. Captain PREECE said that the evidence was very contradictory. If he were
sure that the dog had deliberately rushed at the horse he would have inflicted
a severe penalty, as people had no right to keep these dogs without seeing
that they were under adequate control. He dismissed the case.

The deceased had been suffering from inflammation of the lungs and died shortly before 9 o'clock this morning. Great sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents in the loss of their only son, a fine bright young man who had just entered manhood. AN OLD NAPIERITE Many of your readers will regret of the death of Mr Thomas GILPIN, the well-known baritone, formerly of NAPIER, which occurred at MELBOURNE on the 23rd of August last. Mr E.J. HILL, OF Wellington, informs me that he received a private letter from Melbourne Saturday last to the effect that poor "Tommy" as he was invariably called, has passed away Town and Suburban R Club Page four President-W HESLOP Stewards No 853 No 857 The Art Union for Mr Carnell's Cremona Violin was properly drawn by ballot this evening in our presence, and resulted in No 33 being drawn as the winning number T WATT Among the items on the programme will be a piano solo by Mr Sydney HOBEN and some solos by Miss LISSAMAN, a singer new to Napier, who is very highly spoken of. Working Men's Association held a meeting in conjunction with a public meeting which was held in the Gaiety Theatre. Messrs GANNON, MURPHY, and CREAGH (Chair) addressed the meeting, and it was resolved to establish co-operative stores at NAPIER and the SPIT. This finished, those present were told that a meeting of federated unionists was to be held, and those who did not come under that heading left the building. Wellington-Monday MR JONES' DEATH The death of the member for HEATHCOTE this morning was not altogether entirely unexpected, as he had been seriously ill for months past from jaundice and congestion of the liver, which prevented him from taking his seat in the House at all this session. Mr JONES was a much respected member of the Opposition Party, and he had been paired with Mr James MILLS, a Government supporter, who is at present in ENGLAND. The deceased gentleman rarely spoke in the House, but he was very seldom absent from his place, and was generally most assiduous in his attention to Parliamentary duties. The vacancy for Heathcote will not be filled up, as the General elections are held in about eight week's time.

was resolved "That as a result of the report bought up by the sub-committee
appointed to investigate the charges against the second-master, no teacher
in the school will be allowed to strike any child either with the hand
or anything else on any pretence whatever; but that whenever a child requires
corporal punishment, the teacher of the class shall take that child to
the head-master who alone shall administer such punishment as he may thing
the child deserves." The HAWKE'S BAY Representative football team will leave for GISBORNE by the "Te Kapu" tomorrow. Those who desire to do so may sleep on board tonight, and the men will breakfast on board. BEALE will be unable to go, and his place will be taken by WILSON. The WAIRARAPA Union have finally ratified their engagement to play in NAPIER on the 20th instant. The WAIRARAPA team is considered by many the strongest in the Colony this year, but if the HAWKE'S BAY men play as well as they did against WELLINGTON they will take a lot of beating.
