AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAMS.
Melboobne, July 11. The Associated Steamship Owners are organising for mutual support, in view of possible trouble with the Marine Officers' Association. Sydney, July 11. Mr Potilsen the sporting writer of the Daily Telegraph, and formerly of New Zealand, met with a serious accident to-day, which is likely to end fatally. He was riding through the streets, when his horse bolted and dashed into an approaching cart, the shaft of which penetrated the rider's left thigh perforating the limb and otherwise seriously injuring him. The sight was sickening, as Mr Pouken hung impaled for a few moments and then fell to the ground. The sufferer was removed to the hospital. The horse was severely injured, and had to be destroyed. As showing the great damage by the ] recent floods, the Committee report that the One River district suffered to the extent of £50,000.
