Hilton, was razed to the ground by fire in the early Hours of Saturday morning, the chimneys and twisted roof iron being all that was left. Mr. and Mrs. Hilton and their family were in Wellington at the time of the fire. Flames breaking out shortly after midnight wakened Mr. Hilton's assistant, who lives nearby. Nothing was recovered, the building and contents being a total loss. The cause of the fire is not yet known. The fire did not spread beyond the main building.
