THE RANGITOTO FATALITY.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

The inquiry into the circumstances connected with the death of James Arrol, was resumed before Mr. J. E. Wilson, coroner, at the Court huildinge this afternoon. The accident occurred while deceased was employed at the quarry at Rangitoto, getting out stone for the Auckland Harbour Board. He was loading a box of etone on to a truck, when he was struck on the head, rendered unconscious, and died subsequently at the rospital. It was alleged chain span on the crane snapped, thue causing the derrick to fall, which resulted in the injuries 'being sustained. Deceased was 29 years of age, and resided in Newton Road.

Mr. T. Bloodworth held a meeting of his supporters as a candidate for Parnell electorate in St. Aiiian's Parish Hall, Remuera, for the purpose of forming a committee to canvass that district. At the close of the meeting, Mr. J. J. Sullivan moved a vote of confidence in the candidate, which was duly carried. Mr. Sullivan emphasised the good public service already done by Mr. Bloodworth.

Bishop Julius, in his presidential address to the Christchurch Diocesan Synod on Tuesday, made lengthy reference to the questions arising out of the charges against the vicar of St. Michael's, of departure from the practice of the ChuTch as set out in the Prayer Book. His Lordship emphasised the principal upon which his judgment was based, and said that doubts and diversities as to practice and ceremonial might arise from ambiguity of the Rubrics, and the directions of the Book of Common Prayer, from long-etanding custom and tradition, or from change of circumstances. "We may take it for granted," his Lordship added, "that no rules or regulations can be framed which do not admit of ambiguity, and that in the course of centuries questions of doubt and diversity must increase in number. Many of these will be resolved when the revision of the Prayer Book, now nearly completed, has been adopted by the Church of the Province."
