[BY EtiECTBIO TEIiEOBAPH.--COJ?nUUHT.] ,hBR Pbbss Association, j SYDNEY, December 31. (Received December 31,1894. at 11 a.m.) A board of advice comprising six members, representing the chief industries of the colony, will probably be appointed to assist the Minister of the new industrial department. Including loan moneys, there is close upon two millions of cash in the banks to the credit of the Government. The Treasurer states that the financial position of the colony is so much stronger that it is doubtful whether the Government will need to raise a loan at all. MELBOURNE, December 31. Mason, who was in custody on a charge of causing the death of his brother at Carlton on Christmas Eve, was discharged by the coroner's jury. The chemical works of Felton, Grimwade, and Co., situated at Port Melbourne, • were destroyed by fire. ■ The damage is estimated at £13,000, and the insurances amount to £9,000. The fire brigade were exposed to much danger owing to the explosive nature of the contents of the burning building. The fumes arising from the burning mass of 600 tons of sulphur were over-powering.
