Australian Summary. A Burglar Shot Dead. Type Setting by Machinery. News From The Goldfields. By Telegraph—Own Correspondent. j (Per s.e. Te An&u at the Bluff.) Mki.hoit.sk, March 14. ' Alfred May, a burglar, was shot 1 dead by John M'Kay, at Port Melbourne, while in the act of robbing the latter's shop. The jury found M'Kay justified. Great consternation has been created among the Trade Unionists and members of the Typographical Association by the announcement that SO compositors on the Sydney Daily Telegraph have received a month’s notice because the directors intend introducing type-setting machinery. ! Coolgaroie, March 8 A thunderstorm passed over the ! field last night. It was not sufficiently 1 I heavy to put much water into the i I dams, but the rock holes and soaks are j | replenshed. As the storm has evi- j i dently been general, most of the roads will probably be opened again. The latest news from Kurnalpi is that Whiteman brought in his gold for the past week amounting to over 100 oz. He estimates that the gold ob tained last week exceeded ilOOOoz, he 1 having seen two-thirds of thisijuanity. f Rumours of another rich find of al | luvial gold nearly 800 miles to the I north-east are being circulated. It is stated that 40 men are digging there, but it will be absolutely impossible to reach them till the summer breaks up. \ A party of diggers have arrived here having travelled overland from Mur | chison, from which a regular track is i being opened. During the trip they j were set upon by a party of natives. I One digger received a spear wound in the ribs, but is not seriously hurt.— | Post.
