Road to the Beach.

Road to the Beach.

• • We would like one of our Borough Councillors to take up the question of the road to the beach. We may remind the Council that the Manawatu County Council meets on Wednesday, and there would be time to send a representation after the Borough Council's meeting on Monday. We have previously said that we have much hope in the success of such an application, as the member for the Riding must acknowledge the claim to consideration which the westerly portion has upon the funds, both County and Separate district, which he administers, and which have been spent mostly at the eastesn side of the Riding. The road to the beach is used more and more each ye"ar, and the town should do its utmost to improve this outlet. We hope before the summer is on us to be able to announce that definite steps have been taken to erect some accommodation for the use of visitors at the heads, and then the importance of the road will be still more clearly seen. We tire noc sure what funds in the County, if any, are at present available, but if a good resolution was passed by the Council, and accepted by the County, it would secure a portion of any future funds being allocated for this work. Such a resolution is in keeping with the work of the Borough Council, and would be appreciated by the burgesses.

To-night at 7.30 the annual meeting of the members of All Saints' Church will be held in the church. Information has been received in Napier of the murder of a Maori woman named Taroa by Peni Neri at Tehauke. Sbdii after committing^ the tiririie' the" murderer dropped dead: The cause unknown. liie first Parliamentary excursion this year, the trip to the Cheviot Estate, is to take place at the end of the week, says the N.Z. Time*, the : inemoa leaving about 1 o'clock on Saturday morning for Port Bobinson. Thosi who irtend to visit the estate are to land there, and the steamer will then probably go on to LytteltOn, returning in time to allow ttiembui's to be tH'esent When the House resumes on Tuesday. The annual boat race between Yale and Harvard Universities was won by the former by three lengths. The Auckland police believe that & gang is operating in that titty. A safe at ProEser's, Coat manufacturer, Karangahape road, was opened and £14 taken, a cash box was stolen from the Robert Burns Hotel, and £27 taken, and Charles Vesta, a railway employee, was robbed with violence, £2 being taken from him. The mistake of comps are generally humorous. One of the best on Napier record was furnished to-day when a comp set " Bustralia " for Australia. In view of the recent wreck of building societies and crash of banks, the intelligent comp may be said to have exhibited, consciously or unconsciously, " a pretty wit."— News. From Westport news comes that the derelict Lizzie still remains in the hands of Captain Riley, of the steamer Nile. With the exception of a slight leakage the cutter is staunch. Captain Riley has handed over the sleepers, about 700, to the Public Works Department at Is each. Not the slightest word of inquiry has been received from any part of the colony as to the vessel or crew. The papers were posted and the ownership cannot thus be obtained. The evidence at the inquest indicated that one of the bodies was that of Captain Livingstone. If so, he is said to have a wife and family residing at Mornington, Dunedin. The bodies were too much decomposed to admit of identification by those who knew the men. The lack of inquiry as to cutter and crew has caused some sorrow. During the late frosty weather, says the Herald, several fine specimens of the frost-fish tribe have been picked up on the beaches north and south of the Wanganui Heads. The Wanganui Herald says that a man was found on Thursday in a dying condi tion on the side of the voad between Hunterville and Silverhope, and close by him a hat full of water, a lot of burnt paper, and the covers of a pocket-book, and some time afterwards part of a lunch and a sealed cork, and close by an almost empty strchnine bottle, the cork found previously belonging to the bottle. The doctor was sent for, and arrived promptly, but the man breathed his last a few minutes afterwards. At the inquest held on the body at the Argyle Hotel, Hunterville, the evidence went to show that deceased poisoned himself while of unsound mind, and a verdict to that effect was returned by the jury. , It is generally thought that the poison* (strychnine) must have been brought from Melbourne, he having only been seven weeks in the colony. Carefully study the spaces that are now occupied by Loveday Bros, in the leading columns of this paper.
