Shortly 'before 3 o'clock this morning j a fire occurred at the Molvneux coal mine, by which the engine and boiler rooms were completely destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. The fires in the boiler house were banked at midnight, when the men engaged in dumping left the mine. The fire was discovered by the night shift on one of the dredges working near by. A ibncket brigade saved the remaining buildings and poppet heads from destruction.
