LOCAL AND GENERAL * ♦■ Last night the Victoria College Council had under consideration the appoint ment of successors of Profesfors Picken and Laby to the chairs of mathematics and physics respectively. Several names were submitted^ but the business was done in committee. No finality was reached, and the meeting was adjourned until a date to be fixed by the chairman (Mr. H. H. Ostler). While crossing the points at the inter section of Molesworth-street and Lamb-ton-quay at about a quarter to four o clock yesterday, a tramcar, bound lor Lyall Bay and driven by Motorman W. Worthley, collided with a car proceeding to Tinakori-road, driven by Motorman M. O'Connor. The Lyall Bay car was forced off tho lines, bjit the slight damage did not delay traffic for long. Mrs. Madeline Seller was a passenger in the Lyall Bay car and received a cut on the face and suffered from shock. An infant in her arms fortunately escaped injury. The notable achievement of the Sydney in accounting for the troublesome Emden pricked the conscience of John Albert Edward Joy, who sometime ago deserted H.M.A.S. Australia. He was in New Zealand, and when he read the cable reports he surrendered himself to the police. He was brought before Mr. D, G. A. Cooper, S.M., to-day, and Inspector Hendrey said that the trouble was to know what to do with Joy. He was perfectly honest and anxious to rejoin his ship. He could not be placed on one of the - Imperial men-o'-war. He must go to Australia. The matter had been placed before the local naval officer, who was communicating with the Commonwealth Naval Authorities, and possibly Joy would be able to reourn by next week's boat. A remand for a week was accordingly granted. On the advice of the Professorial Board, a new time-table for lectures has been arranged at the Victoria College. The object is to do away with all lectures after 8 p.m. on any day. The new time-table will come into force next year. A very unusual charge was preferred against a seaman named Henry Burling, who appeared before Mr. D. G. A. Cooper, S.M., at to-day's sitting of the Magistrate's Court. It was as follows :—: — "Being a_ person suffering from a contagious disease and liable to quarantine did quit the scow Maroro at Blackball." Inspector Hendrey asked that the accused be remanded to appear at Havelock next week, and the application was granted. 7/6 and 8/6 are two prices of a very special working tvouser we are offering this week. Good and strong." Geo. Fowlds, Ltd., Manners-street.— Advt.
