FIRES.
TWO MINOR OUTBREAKS. Fire destroyed a portion of stored furniture in a three-storied brick building situated at the corner of Blair and Wakefield Streets at 7.45 o'clock last night. The ground floor of the building, which is owned by Messrs. S. Luke and Sons, is occupied by tho Colonial Tinware Co., but the second floor, on which the furniture was stored, was unoccupied. The furniture was the property of Mr. H. Luke, and was covered by a policy of £150 in the State office. A case of pictures and a mattress was all that was really burnt. The building, which was insured in the Atlas office for £2000, did not suffer any damage. One room and its contents, together with a portion of the roof, were damaged by a fire, which broke out at 8.30 p.m. on Saturday in a house occupied by Mrs. Annie Nicholl, at No. 88 Taranaki Street. The building was owned by Mrs. James, of Lipman Street. The insurances on both house and furniture were not known last evening.
