The Late Tramway Accident. — The Everett Benefit Concert Committee met on Saturday night for the purpose of arranging the programme for the forthcoming concert, to be held at the Temple of Truth on Thursday, Oct. 22. It was decided to at once publish the programme, favourable reports having been received of the sale of tickets in and about Christchurch. Coolgardie, with its population of aboixt 10,000 people, is only three years old ; and Kalgoorlie, in little more than a year, has grown from a mere camp into the most flourishing town on the fields, with a population of about 4000 people— a population increasing so rapidly that at the present rate it will only require a year or two to muster 20,000 inhabitants.
