at Waipukurau last night before the committe - Messrs WILDING ( Ch), JONES,
PALMER, ROBINSON & P. BARRIE. There were about 30 parents present. The
head teacher complained of insubordination on the part of Miss ARROW and
complaining of impertinent remarks being scribbled on one of her school
books. Mr ARROW wished to represent his daughter, but this was not allowed.
A letter from Miss ARROW was read, rebutting the charge of insubordination
and explaining that the scribbling was the work of her elder sister. After
reading the letter, Mr ARROW was allowed to make a statement on behalf of
his daughter and Mr ANDERSON replied. Finally Mr ARROW apologised on behalf
of his daughter. The committee retired for over an hour and returned with
the opinion that pupil teachers were responsible for the condition of their

ARROW and had been accepted by the head teacher.

The widow of an old settler named Martin WINTER, who died a few days ago,
made an application for relief as by her husbands death, she was left
unprovided for. Mrs MIDDLETON of Frasertown, also applied for charitable
aid on the ground that her husband had deserted her. It was decided that
the police should be instructed to compel the latter to look after his
wife and that the Chairman of the Council should take the necessary steps
for the relief of the widow
Yesterday our attention was called to another instance of the unsatisfactory
administration of the Napier Hospital under Dr KEYWORTH. The wife of an
Awatoto settler brought into town a girl eight years old, suffering apparently
from paralysis and applied to Mr MARGOLIOUTH for an order of admission
to the hospital. Mr MARGOLIOUTH went to MR M.R. MILLER and obtained an
order, with which the mother presented herself at the institution. Dr
KEYWORTH curtly refused to admit the child, saying that she was too young-
though if a child of eight is too young, it is a puzzle to know why the
children's ward was erected. The mother pleaded and at last Dr KEYWORTH
said " Well, you'll have to carry her in yourself" and this
was done.Next day the child died of tetanus, but the parents received
no formal notification of the fact, and would of remained in ignorance
of it had not Mr MAHON telephoned to the railway station and asked that
any children going to Awatoto might be asked to convey the information.
Comment is needless

Mr J. BARTLE who was recently committed to the Wellington Asylum for lunacy,
leaves a wife and family in Napier, entirely unprovided for. He was a
very sober and industrious man, a painter by trade, but had been for sometime
prior to his seizure out of employment. His lunacy, in fact, was largely
if not entirely brought about by brooding over his inability to obtain
work, and the consequent anxiety due to running into debt for the necessaries
of life. His wife has 5 children, only one of whom is old enough to help
her in any way --------- more ( asking for aid)
Two most disgraceful exhibitions of rowdyism occured in Napier on Saturday.
The first instance - A drunken man, John M'LEOD, knocked off the bonnet

arrived and the prisoner was conveyed to the lock up. A large crowd assembled
and the police were hustled and hooted at.
Later in the evening the Sydney footballers were leaving Criterion, when
one of them made a remark to the effect " New Zealand was no ------------
good ". A man named DORMER struck the Sydney man. Const GANTLEY arrested
DORMER, who resisted viciously. The crowd gathered around and some of
these people encouraged DORMER to resist. Const PARDY then arrived and
assisted by some respectable citizens Const GANTLEY handcuffed him. The
crowd grew denser and by this time the police and prisoner were surronded
by about 600 people. Sgt Major O'GRADY, Const LAWLESS & CALLAN arrived
and having to submit to being struck, hustled, pelted and hooted, they
managed to get their man to the lock up

Clive Correspondent
A narrow escape from drowning occured in the Ngaruroo River, near the
bridge at Clive about 11 am yesterday. Two of Joseph FROON's children,
a boy and a girl aged respectively 10 & 8 years were out in the river
in a small boat, on the upper side of the bridge and while conversing
with some other children standing on the bridge the boat struck the bridge.
The boat soon filled and began to sink. The boy very pluckily held his
sister above water and being an expert swimmer succeeded in keeping them
both afloat until they were swept by the current about 400 yards down
the river. Becoming exhausted he had to let his sister go and the little
girl sank. Upon seeing this, the boy, with great courage, dived after
his sister and brought her to the surface and kept her up a short time,
when, however they both went down. By this time a crowd of men, women
and children had gathered on the riverbank and their shouts and screams
were terrific. Not one could swim, nor could a boat be got( except one
without oars). Their noise attracted the attention of a fisherman, William
CROSS, who was some distance down the river and fearing something was
wrong he and Peter THOMPSON rowed up the river and just in time to pick
up the children as they came to the surface together. The girl seemed
very little to worse for the ducking but the boy was very weak for a considerable
time. However with the application of some restoratives ( principally
spirits) the lad was brought around

Joohn GURR, Headmaster, Onehungs Public School was found drowned this
morning near the Mangere bridge over an arm of the Manakau harbour. It
was evidently a case of determined suicide as a rope was tied around the
body and fastened to a pile of the bridge, the body thus being dragged
under by the rush of the tide. Grave charges were pending against GURR
of misconduct with female pupils of the school. He was an elderly man
with five children. One of his sons is in business in Parnell and another
in the Government Insurance Office in Wellington. Mr GURR was transferred

An elderly man, John FINLAYSON, who had been missing for a week was found
drowned in the river this morning. The deceased was well known and respected.
He was known to be possessed of considerable means and had property here
and down South. He is supposed to have coomitted suicide, as he had been
in a depressed state for some time past. He lived by himself.
At the inquest on John FINLAYSON, the evidence went to show he was possessed
of considerable property, but was not of a despondent turn of mind. He
had money both in the bank and savings bank. He was single man, very reticent
and lived by himself. He had no friends in the colony , his relatives
living in the vicinty of Glasgow
