FIRES.
Per Press Association. Ashburton, Last Night, I he Bon Accord carriage and general smith works were totally destroyed by Are at ;t o'clock this morning. The bu»l. tress was leased and worked by John Stribbling and owned by Charles Reid. The inefficient water-supply prevented the brigade from coping with the flames till the main building was gutted, but their efforts saved two unattached workshops. The stock-in-trade, including gig» and a quantity oi tools, was covered by a- policy of £3OO in the Royal office, but Mr. Stribbling estimates' his loss over and above this at nearly £2OO. Mr, Rei.il had the building insured for £IOO, and the tools for £IOO, both in the State office.
