/ TRAIN IN GOOD ORDER,
AUCKLAND, This Day,
The inquiry into the Main Trunk disaster is being continued in Auckland.
Wlliam Harding, stationmaster, gave evidence that he examined the train before it left the* Auckland station. Everything was in order.
James Mackley, locomotive engineer, Auckland, replying to a question, said he did not think that making the ends of the carriages solid would minimise the effects of such accidents.
James Farquhar, a passenger, paid that the wounded -were removed from the wreckage as' expeditiously: ,as ;! possible and everything was done to al-
leviate suffering,
. Several train examiners at stations en route said that the train was in good order. —Press Assn.
