MARRIAGE WHIBLEY-JOLL At Hastings on 5th June, by the Rev Robert FRASERassisted by the Rev.
John COWIE, Edwin James WHIBLEY to Mary Jane JOLL, both of Hastings Some time after the death of Father DAMIEN, of MOLOKAI, the Rev Dr HYDE addressed a letter to the Rev H B GAGE, which was published by a section of the Press, asserting that Father Damien was totally unworthy of any laudation, and describing him as a man coarse, dirty, head-strong, and bigoted. The letter then went to insinuate that Father Damien had contracted the leprosy from which he died through immoral conduct. Mr Robert Louis STEVENSON, the celebrated novelist, has published a letter in defence of Father Damien, which is perhaps one of the most artistic and brilliant literary efforts of Mr STEVENSON. His defence of the man he esteemed is most powerful. He first promises that after having read Dr. HYDE'S letter he felt himself inspired to reply. He contrasts Father Damien and Dr Hyde much to the disadvantage of the latter. He then gives an insight to the home of lepers which he visited, and next, at some length pourtrays the character of Father Damien. …………..more. HBH 1890 June 9 Miss Hilda HITCHENS met with a nasty accident last night, owing to the dastardly action of some yahoos who placed a piece of timber in front of the gate opposite the entrance to Browning Street by the Cathedral. In coming out of the Cathedral she tripped over the obstruction, falling with great violence, and cutting and bruising her right arm. She was taken to the parsonage, where Mr H OWEN, chemist, attended to her injuries. The church authorities should strain a point to get a lamp at each of the Cathedral entrances, as cowardly tricks such as the one perpetrated last night would fail to be successful if the gate entrances were lit up. A serious buggy accident occurred yesterday afternoon to Mr SCOTT of
the Crown Hotel, Spit, and his wife Mrs SCOTT HBH 1890 June 10 Advertisements. Mr H P COHEN will sell at Taradale next Friday morning the balance of

Mr Cosgrove has for several years been known as one of the best breeders
of fancy poultry in Hawke's Bay, and his success at the various shows,
and the victories gained by stock bred by him, but exhibited by other
fanciers is a sufficient proof of the quality of his birds. As the show
season is now drawing on breeders in search of first class poultry cannot
do better than have a look through Mr COSGROVE's yards To provide for the increasing demands of shippers of frozen meat and dairy produce, the New Zealand Shipping Company are advised by cable of the purchase of a fine new cargo steamer of 4300 tons.

Mr SHEATH appeared in support of the application and Mr LEE against it, on behalf of the five natives as required by the Act, which also required that a European be joined in the opposition Mr VAULDER opposed on his own behalf. Messrs BROUGHTON and TAIAROA acted as interpreters. There were long arguments on both sides and Messrs J LYON and W BROUGHTON
were examined as witnesses in support of the application, their evidence
going to show that the proposed house would tend to stop sly grog selling
in the district. After some consideration the Bench said they were unanimously of the opinion that the proposed house would be an advantage to the traveling public, but having regard to clauses 2 and 3 of section 22 of the Licensing Act which made the consent of the Native Assessor indispensable, they were compelled to refuse the license.

Before the gold rush he was made harbor-master in MELBOURNE, a position he held right through the busy and anxious time of the early fifties and down to 1869.

This gentleman, who now lives in the Wairoa, was one of the Six Hundred, and his military service was altogether a phenomenal one, both for length and for vicissitudes.

Hastings correspondent yesterday: - Considerable excitement was caused in HASTINGS today by the marriage of Miss Amy ROACH to Mr B L KNIGHT, which came off, notwithstanding the rain, at St MATTHEW'S Church, which was of course crowed. Service performed by the Rev J HOBBS, and as the lady was a member of the choir the service was choral. The bride was given away by her father (Mr ROACH), the Rev J ROBERTSHAW, of Danevirke, acting as best man to the bridegroom. A string of old boots was tied to the back of the carriage occupied by the happy pair. This was bootiful, but a reversal of the usual practice, which is to have the "boot" in front of the coach. Joking apart, both parties have the good wishes of all who know them.

Constable TREANOR had the body taken out of the river and carried on a stretcher to a carpenter's shed. The inquest was held at 9 pm before Mr C HALL and lasted until midnight. Dr DAVENPORT carefully examined the body and testified to their being no marks of violence, and in his opinion death was caused by suffocation from drowning. In evidence the constable stated that he found a satchel suspended from the neck of the body by a strap, and stone weighting 19lb in the satchel. The strap had caught on the limb of a snag. The head was 4ft under water and the feet above. There were no papers. The hands of the deceased's watch pointed to the hour of 4. The jury returned an open verdict that there was no evidence to show
the cause of death. Mr Mc GRATH, the driver, pluckily stuck to the reins and managed to avoid collision with the traps he met, but when opposite Mr PREBBLE's shop the near shaft horse fell, dragging his mate on top of him, and of course bringing up the whole concern short.

Messrs PRIME, The Revs: Messrs Mc NICOLL, COWIE,, and BEECROFT gave interesting though brief addresses. Hastings readers reminded polling day for the Hastings Borough Council election and urge those who wish to vote for Mr Joseph H WILLIAMS to attend and record their votes. It is almost superfluous to advert to his qualifications for the office of councilor, they being so well known, but I may point out that he is an old resident here, a clear-headed practical man of business, and popular with all classes. If, therefore, he be elected, we may reasonably hope that he will not be either a dummy or the mere mouthpiece of any clique, but will hold a board and far-sighted policy, recognizing the fact that the interests of the town and of the borough are identical. I may therefore add that Mr HUGHES is a popular townsman, who has a great many friends, and has, I understand, been canvassing diligently, so that Mr WILLIAMS will need every vote that he can get. The Napier School Committee meeting last evening: - Present: - A disputed account from Mr J HUGHES for the erection of swings was considered.
The committee thought the charges excessive and referred the question
to Mr R HOLT. On view in Emerson Street three pictures are on view which should attract a great deal of attention. They are the work of a youth entirely without art tuition, and who has had to evolve his methods from his own intelligence.......more..These pictures are to be disposed of by art union, the tickets being fixed at a very low figure, and the proceeds are to be devoted to obtaining instruction for the young painter, a Mr A BEDINGFIELD, at present residing at MAKATOKU. Mr BEDINGFIELD is a cousin of THACKERAY, and his father's name will be remembered by all readers of the correspondence of DICKENS and THACKERAY, and of all the early numbers of All the Year Round, to which Mr BEDIGFIELD was a frequent contributor. An elder brother was an exhibitor at this year's Royal Academy, and judging
from those specimens of Mr A BEDINGFIELD's untutored skill he possesses
a talent well which well merits culture. ANDERSON-At Napier, on the 2nd July, Mary Alexandria, third daughter of the late William Anderson, of Moa Flat, OTAGO, in her 18th year The funeral will leave the residence of Mrs W ANDERSON, Shakespeare Road,

An individual of foreign extraction named Desire VERSCHAFFELT was abroad at about 11 p.m. on Tuesday, and judging by the proceedings at the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday before Messrs T K NEWTON and DUNCAN, J.P's., evidently went out with the intention of "painting the town red." The sphere of his operations was confined to the short stretch of road
from the Occidental Hotel to the police station, but he made the most
of his limited opportunities, as the following record of his experiences
before the sitting Justices will show: - Drunkenness-10s and costs or

taken aback slightly, says "And pray who are you?" "My
name is Barker." "Ah," retorts Growlitt, in a tone as if
what he had heard solved a lot of questions, "My name is Growlitt."
Barker says, smilingly, "They say that we are two cranks, and just
like each other." Growlitt, stepping back and regarding Barker with
assumed astonishment. "You like me!" and a pause, after which
Growlitt, who succeeds in recollecting the bit of MILTON he has been cudgelling
for, tragically says, "Aye, equal to me thou art in fate, but not
in renows." "Exactly," says Barker, "but our nonsense
in equal to their sense." "Don't say our" says Growlitt,
"the pronoun is misplaced." Barker just managed to gasp out
"Good day" as Growlitt stalked off. Estate of G W SMITH - notified by Mr J F JARDINE, Deputy Official Assignee, that the plant will remain open until next Wednesday afternoon.

Captain PREECE, after informing him that he might have been sentenced to a long term of imprisonment, which, however, he feared would not be of any benefit to him, committed him to the BURNHAM Industrial School until he reached the age of 15 years (he is now 12 years and 8 months old) on the first charge, and having recorded a conviction dismissed him on the second.

things were. In a famous case-Regina v BRADLAUGH and BESANT, an indictment
for publishing obscene books, it was held that it was not sufficient to
quote the title of the book, but the words which were declared obscene

There was a novel race on the rink Saturday night, and was won by Mr E EWBANK. Waipawa correspondent under Saturday's date: - One of Waipawa's oldest settlers (William Liddle) passed away yesterday at the district hospital. The break-up was sudden at the last, for he looked hale and hearty only a short time ago, and only lately had undertaken the duties of pound-keeper in addition to his ordinary work. The funeral is to take place tomorrow at 3 p.m. Deceased was an old volunteer, and once served in the Waipawa Cavalry
Volunteer Corps under Captain TANNER. Had he lived a little longer he
would probably have received a land grant under the Naval and Military
Settlers and Volunteer's Land Act; but now, I suppose, his claims will
die with him, as there is no provision for the heirs or assignees of claimants'
bringing forward such claims Hastings Correspondent The numerous friends of Mrs CHAPMAN will regret to learn that she met with a serious accident about 5 o'clock last Saturday evening. It seems that she was driving a buggy along the Railway road near Sanders road when her horse shied at a little girl on horseback, and turning on to the railway crossing capsized the vehicle. Mrs CHAPMAN was thrown hear foremost on to the railway, and lay insensible
across the rails. Fortunately there was no train passing at the time,
although one passed about three minutes afterwards. A girl who saw the
accident ran to Mrs SANDER;s house and gave the alarm, and Mrs CHAPMAN
was taken there and kept an hour, when she was removed to her own residence.
There she was attended by Dr FAULKNER, who found she was suffering from
concussion of the brain. I am happy to state that she is now going on
as well as could be expected after so severe a shock. The only other occupant
of the buggy was a little child, who escaped uninjured. Thirteen members being initiated and following officers were elected
and installed: - A hearty vote of thanks was passed to Bro. The Rev A.S. WEBB for his
kindness in coming from ORMONDVILLE and acting as opening officer. John Harvey BLAIR fined 6s and costs by Captain PREECE for drunkenness. Also charged on the information of his wife with using threatening language, and she asked that he find sureties to keep the peace. Later a prohibition order for six months was granted against him. The order is operative in the licensing districts of Napier, Petane, Taradale, Clive, Hastings, Havelock, Meanee, and Heretaunga. James STEVENSON-charged yesterday with drunkenness-third offence within six months-did not appear and his bail was estreated. The Public works Committee agreed that the trustees in the estate of E FRASER be offered the sum of £352 for the quarry in Coote Road. A paragraph in yesterday's issue relating to the death of a patient at
the hospital, by a slip of the pen made his name 'FITZGERALD." It
should have been 'SUTHERLAND." PARKINS and Miss BALDWIN-scratch EWBANK and Miss HENN-10 secs.

HBH 1890 July 19 HASTINGS ***Item abridged by Elaine and is available upon request mattsen@paradise.net.nz
Own Correspondent-July 18, 1890 Last evening St. Matthew's lecture room was crowded by young men who came to discuss ways and means for the establishment of a gymnasium in our town. The Rev J HOBBS was voted to the chair, and briefly explained the nature of the project, and read a letter from Mr FENWICK expressing his willingness to join the club, and do all in his power to help it, sending the names of six Tomoana members, and expressing his inability to attend the meeting. Letters of apology received from Messrs FRASER and GORE. Resolutions passed "A Society is started in Hastings under the name of "St Matthew's Gymnastic and Athletic Club." Rev J HOBBS-elected President Committee with power to add: - Meeting closed Then I have much pleasure in stating that Mr R BRATHWAITE has been appointed
Registrar of Births Deaths, and Marriages. The body of Robert STREETER was brought on a pack horse from the place of its discovery along a fearfully rough road to the Whakatutu Hotel 36 miles from here. Dr INNES conducted the post-mortem examination, and Mr BOOTH R.M. held the inquest. Mr W L REES appeared for the prisoner and Mrs STREETER. Constable LAW deposed Elizabeth STREETER gave evidence and stated that the body was that of her husband and she last saw him alive five months ago. Arthur PARKINSON and Frank MACDONALD identified the body as that of STREETER. BLACK will be bought before a Magistrate on Friday. Owing to the lease of the Caledonian Hotel falling in that property is
in the market. During Mr Mc CARTNEY's seven years control According to a return presented to the House at the instance of Mr GOLDIE
during last year 294 offenders under the age of 20 years Sir,-My daughter Alice aged 16 years, came home from service with her throat in a terrible state from Diphtheria, and so weak that she could only stand with help. On the Friday at noon I began to use freely the "New Cure," and by noon on Saturday the throat was quite clean. She only required to keep her bed for one day, and in a very short time she was about. She was always rather delicate, but now looks better that she has done for years. No other medicines or any application whatever to the throat was used. Although my house is small and Alice, none took the disease. The quickness of the Cure was simply wonderful. With such a remedy no one need fear Diphtheria now. I have heard of no other cures quite as rapid. I am HELEN MOORE A child named Florence MUNDY died suddenly last evening. Supposed starvation
is the cause, as the mother is in very poor circumstances. CONROY and Co Gisborne-Friday The body of Robert STREETER was brought on a pack horse from the place of its discovery along a fearfully rough road to the Whakatutu Hotel 36 miles from here. Dr INNES conducted the post-mortem examination, and Mr BOOTH R.M. held the inquest. Mr W L REES appeared for the prisoner and Mrs STREETER. Constable LAW deposed Elizabeth STREETER gave evidence and stated that the body was that of her husband and she last saw him alive five months ago. Arthur PARKINSON and Frank MACDONALD identified the body as that of STREETER. BLACK will be bought before a Magistrate on Friday. Sub-agents H A BANNER No 215 The Rotorua Railway Mr FERGUS proposed to appropriate funds to the Penrose double line. HUTCHISON Enquiry Mr TURNBULL'S FUNERAL The Speaker informed the House this afternoon that he proposed, to leave the chair at 5 p.m. instead of 5.30 p.m., with the permission of the members, to take part in the funeral procession to the steamer conveying the late Mr TURNBULL'S remains at TIMARU, for that purpose, nearly every member in Wellington followed the hearse conveying the body to the steamer 'PENGUIN" which left for LYTTELTON about 6 o'clock. Later- TRIBUTE TO A DECEASED LEGISLATOR. Fully 100 members of the two Houses of Legislature followed the remains
of the Late Mr TURNBULL from his late residence to the Witnesses had a rough trip to WHAKATUTU, the rivers being high in flood and the roads very bad. This morning the prisoner named BLACK was taken to view the body. Immediately he entered the room the police sergeant asked him, "Do
you know who that is?" He replied "Yes, Robert STREETER."
Those were the only words that have fallen from him; otherwise he has
throughout maintained a taciturn, stolid demeanour. WELLINGTON-Friday The HINEMOA will convey the body of the late Mr TURNBULL to TIMARU, where the funeral takes place. Libel action arising out of the late Petone Woollen Mill dispute was heard today. D McKENZIE, secretary of the outside union, charged G A BAILEY, shoemaker, Petone, with exhibiting in his shop window a document reflecting on the plaintiff. The accused was committed for trial.

of compliance the institution of legal proceedings. Hawke's Bay Branch S G THORNTON-CLIVE C R SMITH |
