[own correspondent.] Thames, Wednesday. A MAN named Joseph Fry, alius Adolphus Gloor, was arrested here to-day, and will be brought up at the Police Court to-morrow, to answer three charges, viz., drunkenness, resisting the police, and obscene language. [press association.] Wanganui, Wednesday. The opening show of the Wanganui Horticultural and Poultry Society took place to-day. The weather was fine, and there was a large attendance. Ellington, Wednesday. The Agnews were given into custody this evening, for insulting the Premier. The Premier expects to leave for the South, accompanied by Mr. Mitohelson, the first week in December, for the purpose of paying a promised visit to Otago, to inspect the route of the Otago Central ' Railway. '• Mr. Matthew Pollen, a married man ' engaged as ganger on the reclamation contract, had his right leg badly smashed this afternoon, through its being janr.med between the buffers of a truck. It is feared that amputation will be necessary. The local directors of the New Zealand Antimony Company have received cable advices that the result of the recent crushings of 2k tons of quartz sent home from the gold mine at Jackson's Head is of a satisfactory character, and asking that ' larger samples should be forwarded. Ar- ' rangements have accordingly been made 1 for getting out 10 tons more stone from the 5 mine. Blenheim, Wednesday. The annual show of the Marlborough Agricultural and Pastoral Association was held to-day. Glorious weather prevailed, I and the attendance of the public was very i large. There was a fair number of entries ) in all classes, particularly of hacks, the i show in the latter being especially fine. At a meeting of the Education Board " to-day, Major Baillie referred to statements made by members of the Nelson Education Board in respect to the examination papers for the Nelson scholarships having been tampered with, and the contents becoming l known before they were given to candi- ) dates. As the matter will be the subject of a case for libel at the next sitting of the Supreme Court, the local supervisor having taken out a writ against the Nelson Evening Mail, for having published the statement, the Board thought it ! best to take no steps in the matter. They ' were of opinion that as an accusation had been made against the supervisor, it was for him to reply to it. They, however, thought the accusation an absurd one. Greymouth, Wednesday, i lb is understood that the Tyneside mine will be closed after this week. This is the . mine recently purchased by the Grey Valley Company from Joseph Kilgour. About thirty men will be thrown out of work in consequence. Dunedin, Wednesday. i _ At the Wesleyan District Meeting to-day it was announced that the debt had been reduced to £300.
