Another Fire in Wellington.
(Per Press Association). Wellington, June 8. Mr Andrew Tornbnll's fellmongerj at Kaiwarra was totally destroyed by fire about eight o'clock to night. Three men, with Turnbull himself, were working in the drying room, but had occasion to leave for a few minutes. On opening the door on their return the room was found to be in flames, and the whole building was soon doomed. The outbreak is attributed to spontaneous combustion amongst the wool, of which there were 50 ; bales in the bui!ding, besides 700 skins, ' tbe wool presses, weighing machinery, and other appliances, all of which were destroyed. The building, which is be lieved to be insured for £600, is owned by the trnstees in the Schultze estate. The insurances on the contents will not cover the loss. im _ m^^_ tm^ mmmm^ mm^
