Northcott v. A. Fairs, £1. Mr Kenrick, S.M., presided!. A rather amusing and* a- somewhat: unusual incident occurred} during Mr 1 Massey's recent visit toi the West; Coast. The leading citizens- of Greymouth decided to banquet him) and thefunction was duly held in- one of the* local hotels. As it was-; a- Saturday night the business people were a little late in gutting in an appearance, and' as a consequence the proceedings -were delayed slightly beyond the hour fixeoVt for the closing of the hotels. Afterwards, on coming out of the' hotel, 1 the>> guests were somewhat astonished 1 to- 1 find a constable outside the door with • a notebook in his .hand, waiting to>take the names of those who ■ had assembled to do honor to the Leader of* the Opposition, but had overstayed the legal hour of closing. Among thosewhose names were taken were His"Worship the Mayor, the Mayor-elect, the Chairman of the Harbor Board, the--Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Leader of the Opposition.- Mr Massey, however, does not" come within the letter of the law, as hehappened to be staying at' the hotel' where the banquet was given. The local residents were inclined' to look", upon the matter as a joke, but a pressrepresentative who sought information- ■ from the police was assured that the matter was regarded seriously and that proceedings would be instituted in duecourse. The Pilot reported to the Patea Harbor Board, under date May 9, that thechannel had about 12 feet depth at highr water spring tides and about 8 feet at' neap tides, and was about 160 feet wide. The river continued the same, with thedeepest water on' the w6st-iside from.,j>he > tide gauge up. On the 16th" there wasa. yeW heavy gale from the westward, whic'i did » lit.tle damage to the flagstaff, carrying away three of the wirerunners, tt also shifted the paint houseoff the blocks, which had been replaced: The gale left a heavy sandbank across the entrance for about a week, but this had alt scoured away, leaving a good 1 channel. On the 10th soundings on thebar showed nothing less than 13 feefc (10 o'clock tides). 'On the 22nd soundings at low water on the spit gave onefoot. On the Bth soundings showed 12" feet all the way out and in (9 o'clock tides). During the month he had moved! three snags from the river. On the* Bth the s.s. Mangapapa arrived with coal from Westport for the first time. She came in and went out without any trouble. There had been 27 arrivals and 26 departures since date of previousreport, eight going out on the lights. He was pleased to report that during: the past four months there had been an increase of 50 boats crossing the bar (25 each way)- as compared with the corresponding months of last year. la reply to the Chairman as to the Aorere going ashore, the Pilot said the mishap was caused by fog banks. He explained how these hung about the river. When the boat passed him there was barely any fog, but further down the , river the fog came on. The Chairman said ho had seen the captain, who had stated* that after clearing one fog bank he ran into another. It was a beautiful night otherwise. The accident had been no fault of the management in connection with the port. The report was adopted. According to the New York correspondent of the Daily Mail, the American public was much exercised last month over the mysterious suicide' of Mr Thomas K. Laughlin, a young steel magnate worth £4,000,000, and one of the most prominent citizens of Pittsburg. Mr Laughlin was married to a sister of Mrs Taft, the wife of the President. He returned from Europe on March 6, and died on March 10. The doctors announced that death was due to cerebral hemorrhage, and added that they arrived too late to do anything, as death was instantaneous. The secret was well kept until the following: Saturday, when the coroner (Mr Jamison) hearing a certain rumour, insisted on an inquest. "The hemorrhages of which the doctors speak, J) declared th» coroner, at the end. of the inquiry, "were caused by a 48-calibre bullet sent through Mr Laughlin's brain by his own hand." It was rumoured that Mr Laughlin recently quarrelled with his wife, who wished to convert a conservatory erected by his father at a cost of £30,000 into a "cabbage patch."The President travelled from Washington overnight in order to be present at the funeral. It is stated that thereason why it was sought to hide from the public the fact that Mr Laughlin committed suicide was to spare thePresident annoyance. Messrs Jackson and Co. will offer a large yarding of cattle at their Waverley yards en Friday next.
