THE INQUEST.
Hawera, Saturday. The Promier has telegraphed his sympathy to the townspeople. The inquest was opened this morning.
■ The evidenco so far shows that Campbell and Jewell, Smith's employees, were taking stock, when a kerosene lamp fell and exploded in the show window, among the millinery, and the effect was to make all efforts to extinguish it useless.
It comes out that Jewell was not sober, but there is nothing at present to show this bad any offect in causing the accident or preventing the extinction of the fire.
