HB Herald, Thurs. Jan. 3, 1895 In 1893 there were 37 bankruptcies in Napier. Last year the number was 26. Mr A. GOODWIN, who was injured at the Onga Onga races, has asked us to publish the following:- "Dear Sir, - Permit me through your columns to thank the Rev. Father KEEGAN, of Waipawa, for his kindness to me when I met with an accident at the Onga Onga race-course. The value of advertising in the Herald was once more exemplified yesterday morning. Mr W. CROWIE lost a purse containing a sum of money and offered a good reward. Mr R. WOOD, of Messrs CONROY and Co., immediately got his eye on the advertisement, and before 9 a.m. the purse was restored to its original owner, the finder declining the reward. Mr F.D. LUCKIE, junr., brought into Napier yesterday a splendid specimen of the wild horse, a black stallion about 14 hands 2 inches in height, which he had himself captured after an exciting chase lasting nearly six hours, on the Karangarea Plains....... A quiet wedding was solemnised at the Cathedral yesterday afternoon, Dean HOVELL being the celebrant, when Dr. ATTERBURY, of Akaroa, Canterbury, was married to Miss Ethel Jane Forster HILL, daughter of Mr Thomas HILL, late Collector of Customs at Auckland. The bride, who was attired in white, was attended by the Misses RINGWOOD and Von DADELZEN, Mr C. KENNEDY acting as the bridegroom's best man. Mr G.N. PIERCE gave the bride away. At the conclusion of the ceremony Mr Maughan BARNETT played the "Wedding March," and the bridal party drove to the residence of Mr PIERCE, where the toast of "Health, Wealth, and Prosperity" to the bride and bridgeroom was drunk with enthusiasm. Hastings - One lesson taught, at terrible cost, by the untimely death of E. MOORE is that very great care should b e taken as to the disposal of such a powerful poison as the preparations of carbolic acid as supplied for domestic use prove to be. From the medical evidence given it was seen that recovery after taking even a tablespoonful is almost an impossib ility, the partial restoration being followed in most cases by sudden collapse.......... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.

HBH 1892 Sept 16 WATERWORTH Mr WATERWORTH is making arrangements for improving the method of laying down tar pavements in the town. A large boiler is being erected in the Corporation yards, so that all the tar used can be not only well boiled, but also deprived of substances which, while valuable in themselves, yet prevent the tar drying quickly. These products are eliminated by distillation, which gives a compound of naphthalene, ammonia, and crude carbolic acid. These being taken from the tar leaves the latter better than before as a footpath-forming material, and Mr WATERWORTH hopes to still further utilise the compound by separating the carbolic acid, with which to manufacture a cheap disinfecting

HBH 1892 September 17 ARMIT Thomas ARMIT, whose body was found yesterday, was a man about 38 or 40 years of age, and is believed to have some relatives in Wellington. It appears strange that on his sudden disappearance no effort was made to find out what had happened to him. His letters, discharges, and photographs were left behind in his bunk on the Vacuna (late Flying Scud), and this seemed evidence to many at the port that he could not have run away from the ship, for no matter how much of a hurry an officer may be in he generally takes with him his papers, as they are necessary to his getting another ship.

HBH 1892 September 17 ARMIT Thomas Inquest The inquest on the body of a man supposed to be Thomas ARMIT, late chief of the Vacuna, was held at the Shakespeare Hotel last evening before Mr F.SUTTON, J.P., and the following jury: - Messrs COGSWELL (foreman), FABLING, WILLIAMS, MUIR, STACK, and DOYLE. Claude COLHOUN, a small lad 10 years old, residing at the Spit, deposed yesterday that "he saw a dead man lying on a flat piece of concrete on the south side of the breakwater. The body had no head on and was nearly naked. He met another boy named John FRANKLIN, and told him what he had seen, and then showed him the body. He and FRANKLIN then told a man named TAYLOR who was working at the breakwater, and TAYLOR sent word to the police." Thomas TAYLOR a labourer, stated that after being shown the body by the two boys he told Mr MILLER, who communicated with the Sergeant of Police. Constable HARVEY deposed to finding the body, which was heedless, had both arms broken, and was otherwise much cut about. He knew Thomas ARMIT, late chief mate of the Vacuna, who had shown him certain tattoo marks on his arms, and he felt no doubt that the body found was that of ARMIT. It was believed that ARMIT had deserted from the Vacuna. ARMIT had told witness that the "captain was a very hard man top get on with." The body seemed to have been in the water about two or three weeks and did not know of any rows having taken place. Michael WIIG, sail maker, residing at NAPIER,, testified that he knew a man named Thomas ARMIT, and he and ARMIT had sailed together in the Pendle Hill for three or four months and "he knew that ARMIT had a tattoo mark on the inside of his right arm. The mark was the English navy flag, with a red cross, and the stars and stripes. ARMIT was a man of about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and as far as witness knew a temperate man. When he was working with ARMIT on the Pendle Hill the latter had a go ashore suit dark in color and similar to the remains of trousers found on the body. ARMIT also wore elastic-side boots when going ashore." He had seen the body found that day, and "to the best of his belief it was that of Thomas ARMIT." Hrry MASON, seaman, late of the Vacuna, also gave evidence identifying the body from the marks upon it and from the remains of the clothes found upon it as Thomas ARMIT. MASON "last saw ARMIT alive on the Vacuna on Sunday morning, August 28th, at about 8 o'clock." Mary MILLER, who had washed clothes for Thomas ARMIT, said that the "socks and trousers produced were similar to those she had washed." Harry BROWN, seaman, residing at the Spit, also testified and stated that ARMIT was quite sober when he last saw him and he could not identify the body found. The jury returned a verdict that "they believed the body to be that of Thomas ARMIT, and that he had met his death by drowning, but whether accidental or otherwise, or when death occurred, there was no evidence to show, and the jury could not determine."
