FIRE AT HAMILTON EAST.
Snoim.v after eight o'clock;on -Saturday night a glare was observed in the direction" of the Convent at Hamilton East, which lit up tho wliolu district on both bides of the river. Proceeding towards the scene it was ascertained that a house belonging to Mrs .f. O'Neill was on fire. The building was a very old one, and the flames speedily destroy.yJ it. Thp. family were all absent at the" tiirio attending the meeting of the Saltation Army in Hamilton West. No one was about at the time, therefore nothing was saved, except a ; buggy, which was taken out of the shed by those who arrived on the spot later on. It appears that, prior to going out, Mrs O'Neill left some clothes airing before a slow flVe in the kitchen, and it is presumed that, by some means, they became ignited and thus set the building on fire. The house aud furniture were insured in the London and Lancashire Insurance Office for £200.
