A VERY SUDDEN DEATH.
AUCKLAND, July 30. Mr Wainhouse, railway manager at Dargaville, dropped dead last night in ths Kaihu Hotel at 9 o'clock. Mr Wainhouse's death took place under sensational circumstances. It appears that Mr J. H. Barstow vzas formerly stationmaster at Dargaville, but he was appointed secretary to the Mitchelson Timber and Te•igned his position. Mr Pox was temporarily in charge of the railway station, and Mr Wainhouse, late stationmaster at Rotorua, was transferred to take the place of Mr Barstow. Last night a farewell, social was tendered to Mr. Fox; and while singing a song at this function Mr "Wainhouse dropped dead. This brought the social to a close. When the sad occurrence became known it caused quite a gloom at Kaihu and adjacent districts.
