CASUALTIES.
Mrs Button, injured in the fire at the Bluff Coffee Palace on the 11th is dead. Miss Caygill is recovering. An old miner named John Edmonds was found dead in his hut at Hokitika on Friday afternoon, supposed to be from heart disease. A lad named John Cramond, aged 14, was admitted to the hospital on Friday suffering from a broken leg. It appears that the lad was assisting his father, who is a blacksmith at Port Chalmers, and while removing the shoe off a horse's hind leg the horse leaned over and fell on him, with the result that his right leg was fractured above the ankle. He was attended to by Dr Copland. A little boy aged six, named Hugh M'Kendry, was admitted to the hospital on Friday, having leceived rather severe burns on the right arm and side, through falliug into the fire while his mother was in another room. Dr Copland •dressed the burns, and the little sufferer, is progressing favourably.
