FIRE AT WELLINGTON.
(per press association.)
Wellington, This Day. The well-known cafe, “Trocadero,” situated in Willis Street and occupied by G. Pianock, was gutted by fire at an early hour this morning. The origin is unknown, but it is believed to have started in or near the kitchen. In a few minutes the whole interior was practically ruined. All the occupants escaped without injury, but had none too much time after the discovery of the outbreak by the proprietor. • Messrs Jolly and Co., estate agents, had a shop under the same roof, and this was completely destroyed. The Trocadero buildings were of wood and owned by John Duthie and Co.
The Trocadero’s insurances are : On building, £2,000 in the Manchester; contents, £650 in the Law, Union and Crown and £350 in the Imperial, Jolly’s auction room [(damaged), £125 in the Northern.
