HBH 1892 June 1 Local and General news

Acknowledge receipt of the second volume of Mr H.H.HAYTER'S "Victorian Year Book for 1890 91." It is a most useful work, a credit to both the colony it deals with, and to the compiler.

A Wellington settler claims to have solved the problem of a practical flying machine, and that the government are to be asked to experiment with it as a possible instrument of destruction for warlike purposes.

Staff-Sergeant RICHARDSON, R.A. will take the F. BATTERY in hand and put the men through field battery movements.

At the General meeting of the NAPIER Bowling Club last night Mr T. WATERWORTH was appointed by unanimous resolution, to supervise the carrying out of the levelling and other necessary work to be done on the bowling green, in order to prepare it for next season.

Messrs BECK and Co of Hastings, announce that they are discontinuing business in that borough, and in consequence will be holding a monster clearing sale on the premises on the 7th inst.

Captain BECK wires as follows: -"North to east and south-east gale, with heavy rain and heavy sea sixteen hours from now; glass falling and unusually high seas." If his prediction is correct we are in for some lively times.

Gisborne-Tuesday

One of the unemployed, named Simon MILLER, sent here from Auckland on Sunday last by the Labor Bureau, was ordered to Napier gaol for six weeks this morning by the Resident Magistrate, for using obscene language. He had been previously convicted at "Picton" for false pretences.

Five men, who were sent out bush felling on one property, have decamped, taking tents, tools, and food supplied by their employer. The police are looking for the men.

WANGANUI

The barquentine CHARLES and ARTHUR, which was reported by wire from WELLINGTON to have been abandoned to the underwriters, has been floated off. She has been grounded inside the bar about ten days, during which time the tides have been low. She was brought up to the wharf as soon as she was floated, and has since only made very little water. Statements are conflicting as to the circumstances of her grounding, but a magisterial inquiry will be held next Thursday morning.

MASTERTON

An extraordinary accident happened at PAHIATUA this morning. The Rev. Mr FARROW was driving across a bridge when he met a settler named ALEXANDER on foot. When they passed each other the minister's horse kicked out and knocked ALEXANDER down. He was carried to a neighbor's house, but died almost immediately.

Cassidy and Bailey Estate

Somebody or other has set a story afloat that the government bought the s.s.. TERRANORA from the Roman Catholic Church in New Zealand through Father CASSIDY.

The tale lacks truth. The Terranora was port of the Estate of the late Mr BAILEY, a Wellington man, and was sold by his widow through the trustees. Father Cassidy's share in the arrangement was not in his capacity of representative of the Church, but as representative of quite other interests altogether.

St Matthews Gymnastics

A committee meeting of the St Matthew's Gymnastic Club was held last night, with the Rev. J. HOBBS in the chair.

It was resolved that the captain and vice-captain should act as instructors for the season. Messrs WAWN and OLSEN are two thoroughly competent men, and have, moreover, been diligent attendants at the gymnasium during the past two seasons, so the instruction given to regular attendants given to regular attendants will be good.

It was also decided that ladies' nights the entertainment should consist of an assault and singing, winding up with a short dance.

Overseas NZ and Aus content
(Ref Cable News-England-London May 26)

The Times says that the leaders of the Liberal Party are pleased at the discussion in the House of Commons with regard to the Queensland Government and the introduction of black labor into that colony.

It considers that in the event of a Liberal win at the general elections, the question will force a quarrel with the most independent of the Australian Colonies.


Half a million acres of land in New Zealand is said to have been secured by the Salvation Army.

Napier Bowling Club

FAREWELL and Presentation:

A very pleasant little reunion took placer last night in a large drawing room of the Meanee Hotel, when nearly thirty members of the Napier Bowling Club assembled for the purpose of bidding farewell to Mr George SMITH, one of the most useful and energetic members of the club, who leaves by today's express to settle in Palmerston North.

Meeting was also called to order to afford an opportunity of presenting Mr SOUTH with the gold medal he had won as first prize in a recent tournament. Mr M?VAY vice president of the club, made the presentation, and in doing so expressed the regret at which he was sure every member of the club felt at Mr South's approaching departure and warmly thanked him in conjunction with Mr WATERWORTH for his untiring efforts, as members of the ground committee, in furthering the interests of the club in every respect. Mr M?VAY then handed Mr South the gold medal, which is really a beautiful piece of workmanship, manufactured by Mr F.W.COLLINS.

Closing case of Ngapaeruru

To celebrate the closing of the case of NGAPAERURU, Messrs J.M. and A.L.D. FRASER invited a number of principals interested therein, and their friends, to a dinner at the Empire Hotel last night.

The company included: -
Messrs EDWARDS-accessor
Alex. MACDONALD, Wirihama HUNIA-Rangitane, Paratene NGATA, Wi NEARIRA, SPENCER,
Dr. GODFRAY,

Mr A.E.JULL-Chairman of the town Board, several gentlemen of the Town, and the representatives of the Hawke's Bay Press; your own was invited, but unfortunately was at Danevirke, and he is indebted to a gentleman present for an account of this event.

Eloquent speeches followed, especially that of Mr MACDONALD, in proposing "The Native Race," which was responded to by the native gentlemen named above, all of whom are noted men in their own districts.

Mr J.EDWARDS was very happy in proposing "The Agents and others connected with the Native Land Courts," which was responded to by the recipients,

During the evening Dr GODFRAY recited two pieces and Messrs A.G. JULL, EDWARDS, and A.L.D. FRASER sang a number of songs suitable to the occasion.

Paratine NGATA also sang in the native tongue a song indicative of the good fellowship existing between the Europeans and the Natives.

Alexander Patten ROGERS

An elderly man named Alexander Patten ROGERS, who will be remembered as having wandered about NAPIER for a short time in the guise of a pioneer of the early days was very much out of luck, has had a nasty experience.

On Monday week last he left NAPIER to walk overland to GISBORNE. It is believed that he had a very rough time of it almost from the start, but it is known that he did for a good portion of his journey. He became lost on the WAIKARE run, and on Thursday evening last he was found on the run by Mr M'IVOR in a very bad state. He was barely conscious, in a helpless condition, without boot or socks, and with but a scanty supply of other clothing.

He had been three days and two nights out in the inclement weather and during that time had no food. Mr M'IVOR, who was on horseback dismounted, and placed the unfortunate man on the animal's back, took him back to his own house, where he carefully attended to him till he was recovered. He then, as ROGERS wished to go to MOHAKA, put him on the road for that place, a little better equipped than when he was found.

Apology letter

Country Journalism in Hawke's Bay appears to be carried on nearly the lines of the "Eatonswill Gazette," judging by the following which appeared in a country paper on May 30th, 1892:

"An Apology.

I. Edward Alexander HAGGEN, hereby withdraw statement charging Mr A, BLACK with having lived on the spoils of embezzlement and having obtained property by a swindle, as I find that such statements are altogether false and without foundation, and I hereby express regret for having made any such statements.- E.A.HAGGEN, publisher of the Examiner,. Dated this 30th day of May, 1892." The Mr BLACK alluded to runs another country paper-the Pahiatua Star.

Hastings Wesleyans

The Hastings Wesleyans have made a good move in establishing a Young Men's Mutual Improvement Society, which meets once a week. Mr GOLDSMITH, the editor invites correspondence for the society journal. They also have a prospectus which includes debates, lectures, questions, and "social evenings."

Hastings Council

The usual meeting of the Hastings Borough Council meeting which was convened last night fell through for lack of a quorum, the Mayor and Crs. HUGHES, MURDOCH, and WILLIAMS being the only councillors who attended.

Some of the other councillors were known to be unavoidably absent, and Cr. BEILBY sent an apology for non-attendance, but others who might have been expected to be present did not even send an excuse.

The consequence was that after waiting over an hour the Mayor announced that the meeting was postponed till next Monday evening.

The great and only Miss MARSDEN, formerly of the Wellington Hospital, and since that of anywhere in general, is still in evidence, and we may trust the following paragraph from a late issue of the Sydney Mail: -"Miss Kate MARSDEN, an English lady who is endeavouring to combat the ravages of leprosy in Siberia, has undergone great hardships during a journey into the Russian province of Yakutak, in search of a plant which is said to grow in that region, and which was supposed to be a cure for leprosy. For two months she rode with a wooden saddle on a horse without either washing or dressing. The plant she found, but only to discover that it does not cure, although it alleviates the sufferings of the lepers."

HBH 1892 June 6 ALPERS and BROWN

The many friends of Mr ALPERS will be interested in the following paragraph from the Christchurch Press of May 31st:

"At yesterday's meeting of the Board of Governors of Canterbury College Professor J.M. BROWN, the professor of English history, was granted absence to go to Europe. The professor, after his eighteen years' service to the Board, has well earned his holiday, though we regret to know that continued ill-health is his chief motive in going Home.

The duties of his chair will be carried on during his temporary absence by Mr O.T.J. ALPERS, M.A., who for some years past has acted as his assistant.

Mrs M?Millan BROWN, too, who for ten years has conducted the Girls' High School with some eminent success, has been granted leave also, and accompanies the professor to Europe."

Alexander Patten ROGERS

We recently described how Mr M?IVOR found on the Waikare run an elderly man named Alexander Patten ROGERS in an almost helpless and unconscious state and took him home and cared for him till he was ready to start on his journey again.

ROGERS left Mr M?IVOR'S house last Saturday week, intending to go to Mohaka on foot. Constable SHAW has reported by telegram to Sergeant CULLEN to this effect and also that as Rogers has not been seen or heard of, and was expected to be again lost on the run, he (Constable SHAW) had gone out in search of him.

The telegram from the constable was sent on Saturday last, so at the time Rogers had been out a week. It is feared that something serious has happened to him.

In view of the probability that New Zealand will at no distant date have to face very keen and active opposition in the frozen meat trade, the following extract from the circular of Messrs H. FITTER and Sons, the well known meat salesman of London, under date April 16th, is worthy the attention of our breeders of sheep.

The circular says: - "At the risk of being thought troublesome, we must repeat what we have several times stated before, that, taking into consideration the improvement in breeding that is going on in Australia, it is absolutely necessary for New Zealand breeders to go in more for the Southdown breed, and give up the large Lincolns and Leicester's."

DEATH

MILLER-On the 4th June, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr R.Harding, Mount Vernon, Waipukurau, Matthew Robertson Miller, of Napier, aged 63 years.

The funeral leaves the Napier Railway station today (Monday) at 12.30 p.m.

MILLER DEATH OBITUARY

We regret to have to announce the death of Mr M. R. Miller, which took place at Mount Vernon, the residence of his son-law, Mr Rechab Harding, on Saturday morning. The deceased gentleman, who was in his 63rd year when he died, had been ailing for some days from a brain trouble, and his friends did not expect him to recover, although at last the end came rather suddenly.

Mr Miller came to Napier nearly 22 years ago, and from that time to the present was prominent both as a business man and by his attention to local affairs. He had great faith in the district, and by his energy materially assisted to hasten its progress and to attract capital to it.

He was of a most kindly nature, always genial and obliging, and was always ready to find an excuse or an extenuation for those of whom others spoke harshly in his hearing.

To put it briefly, this side of his character, which made him liked by all he met, was a good illustration of the scriptural injunction: -"Judge not that ye be not judged."

The deceased leaves a widow and large family to mourn his death, and they have the fullest sympathy of the public under their heavy misfortune.
