Peter Cilet, a wharf labourer, died suddonly at Port Chalmers to-day. He was helping to coal the Miowera, and shortly before ten o'clock this morning ho came out oi tho hulk's hold complaining of pains in his chest, and of not feeling well. Going on board the steamer ho rested on a seat, thinking that after a little time he would be all right. A few minutes afterwards he gave a few gasps and dropped over on his side. Dr. Borrie pronounced life to bo extinct. Death was attributed to failure of the hoart. Deceased was sixty-two years of age.

William Trott, who was seriously injured as the result of an explosion of benzine in the workshops in the railway yards yesterday, died at tho hospital this morning. At the inquest hold this atternoon, the theory put forward by experts was that benzine had been poured on live ashes in a stove, thus causing an explosion. The jury returned a verdict that death was due to shock caused by severe burns, sustained in an explosion of benzine, but that there was no evidence to show how the explosion had been caused.
