THE FIRE FIEND
FURTHER OUTBREAKS IN CHRISTCHURCH.
By TclccraDh-Prcss Association. Christchurch, November 24. A firo occurred early this morning in three unoccupied houses in Manchester Street South, opposite Coker's Hotel. Tho buildings wero blazing fiercely when the brigade arrived, but tho firo was soon checked. Tho damage is probably £300 or £.400. The inmates of tho Metropolitan boardinghouso nearby were seized with panic, rushing hurriedly into the street in their night attiro, but no damage was done to that building. The origin of tho fire is unknown, but tho police and tho superintendent of the Firo Brigade aro of opinion that it was tho work of an incendiary, inclining to the belief that tho fatal firo in tho Silver Grid and the outbreaks in Cokor's Hotel were also connected with this morning's fire.
