NO INQUIRY.
SMASH AT PARAPARAUMU. NEGLIGENCE NOT SUGGESTED. (By Telegraph.—l'ress Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday.

Departmental officers will, however, make a complete investigation and submit full reports to the general mamigei, Mr. G. H. Mackley, who will transmit these to the Minister of Railways, the • lion. D. G- Sullivan.
The line is now clear for normal traffic. The locomotive, which is lying by the side of the line, will probably be moved on Sunday.
