FIRE AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
A MIDNIGHT SCAEE. Tho staff at Government House wero roused at about 1 a.m. yesterday by a cry of "Fire" from the servants' quarter. The alarm had been raised by one of tho maids, who was awakened by tho smoke, which filled her room on the first ileor of Hie western end oT the building. Investigation showed that tho lining of the room had been ignited by becoming overheated through the proximity of ouo of the flues connected with the hot-water system. The staff very quickly got to work, and soused the .smouldering wood, before tho brigade, which had been summoned, arrived on the scene. Very little damage was done.
