FIRE IN DUNEDIN CHURCH.
Dunedin, Last Night
Shortly before 9 o’clock to-night St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Caversliam, caught on fire. The vestry was in a hopeless condition when the machines of the South Dunedin and City Fire Brigades arrived, so the firemen confined their attention to preventing the flames attacking the church proper, where the fire had commenced to take hold. The blaze was under control in twenty minutes and finally extinguished after half an hour’s strenuous work. The vestry was gutted and the contents (valued at about- £175), demolished. The church was damaged to the extent of £2OO. The organ which was situated near the fire, was fortunately not- damaged by water.
