Great Fire in Dnnedin.

£35,000 worth of Property Destroyed.

A Large Mill Burnt.

DUNEDIN,

This day. A fire broke o^t d tiring the night' at the steam saw-mills an cl timber-yard of Messrs. Guthrie and La rna ch, Princes-street. The premises are of a very extensive character, comprising stea m saw-mills, planing, mould ing, tonguing, grooving, and flooring, door, sash, and furniture factories, besides large stocks of builders' ironmongery and materials. Owing to the combustible nature of the material the fire burned very fiercely, and defied all efforts to extinguish it. The whole city was illuminated, and the lurid glare could be seen for miles around. Shortly after the alarm was given the fire brigade mustered and used their utmost exer tions to prevent the extension of flames to adjoining premises's and notwithstanding their efforts JHaworth's Spanish Restaurant and store caught fire several times, but was ultimately saved with difficulty. The old Immigration Barracks narrowly escaped. Loss about £35,000. The fire gradually burned itself out. No cause is known for the fire. It is sup posed to have originated from theffurnace. Guthrie and Larnach's premises were in sured for £15,000 in various offices. Their, mill, next to the Union Sash and Door Company's manufactory, Auckland, probably did the largest business of the kind in the colony. The following is a detailed statement of the insurances :—

BURNING IN EFFIGY

It ia currently rumoured in town to-day that there is to be a holocaust offered on the " brae " of the Barrack green to-night to ap pease the Furies who are shrieking for vengeance on the betrayers and the foes of Auckland. On enquiry we find that the rumour is authentic, and that it is in con templation to have a procession through the streets of Auckland, which is to be wound up by the spectacle of five or six effigies strung up by the necks to the gallows and blazing on the Barrack hill. Although as ia proper, we entirely discountenance such manifestations of popular feeling, still we are warranted in saying that we are informed that the effigies are very good likenesses, that of the Premier especially, and we are told that, seated as he will be on a donkey drawing a cart, in which his principal Auck land supporters sit in state, his pose will be rather imposing. A well-known citizen has undertakento act as master of the ceremonies, and it is said that after readingfor eachhis last dying speech and confession lie will act as hangman, applying also to each the funereal torch. Of course we need not say how entirely we disapprove of such proceedings, still we should not feel warranted in being absent, and we shall go if only to see how the people conduct themselves when per forming this ancient and time-honoured dra matic exhibition. Of course if we thought that any word of ours could keep the people at home our services would be rendered, but when we consider that Queen-street 'on Saturday night is at all times s point of attraction, and that public feeling is at the boiling point, we know our efforts, would be useless. We _ have been assured that there will be nothing to offend good taste in the exhibition and per formance, so that ladies may not, on grounds of any such apprehension, be deterred from viewing proceedings which will be conducted with good temper and propriety. This we say asamatter of news, although reserving to our selves the right to view the whole affair with one of our darkest frowns. The procession will, we understand, suddenly appear in Queen-Btreet with musical accompaniments ahortly after eight o'clock.

DIABOLICAL MURDER FOR THE INSURANCE.

An attempted fraud upon a life insurance company by murder has arisen in Kansas, the conspiracy being disclosed by the con fession of one of the murderers. M'JNutt and Winner were painters, at Wichita, Kansas, where they murdered an employe named Saviers, last December. N'Nutt, who was subsequently captured, has confessed that he got his life insured for £5,000, and that he and Winner planned to kill and burn some victim, whose body was to be palmed off as M'JNutt's, so that the money could be collected and divided between them. When the plan was laid they lived in Kansas city, Missouri, where they intended to carry it out, but they finally determined to go to the smaller town of Wichita, in Kansas, whence their escape would-be easier. Here they began the business of painting, and soon built up a good trade. The want of a victim for some time delayed the execution of the plot, but Winner finally went to Kansas city and employed Saviers to work for them. On his arrival at Wichita tbey met him at the railway-station, and took liim to their shop without any one knowing anything about it. They first made him drunk, and then administered ether until he was unconscious. They then put his face over the fire, and burnt it until it could not be recognised, and laid it on a bed ■irturated with petroleum. M'Nntt then cut

a gash in Winner's arm with a pair of scissors ; and, opening a vein in Savier's arm took out a quart of blood and sprinkled it over Winner to make it appear that he had bled a great deal. M'Nutt then left, dropping his vest and empty pocket-book at the back of the house, to make it appear as if thieves had thrown them away, and going to Achison^ he took the railway train for Missouri. Winner then set fire to the building, which was burnt, and he reported he was robbed, and M'Nutt killed and burnt. The story took for a few days, until M'Nutt was recognised and arrested. This one of the most diabolical life insurance frauds that have yet been chronicled.

INQUEST.—This Day

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Whau Lunatic Asylum before Dr. Goldsbro', coroner, and a jury, on the body of Joseph Findley Childs, a sailor, who died yesterday morning.

Timothy Lowry, chief keeper, deposed that deceased was admitted a patient on the 26th November, 1873, suffering from paralysis, and was in a very feeble state. He never rallied, but gradually weakened until the period of his death at three o'clock yesterday morning. He had been confined to his bed in a helpless state during the last two months, andhad been watched day and night. Every attention was paid to him by the warders, and wine, arrowroot, beef tea, &c, administred according toDr Aiken's orders. He was about 30 years of age, having been born in Nov., 1544. Dr Thomas Aitken, resident physician, deposed to the condition of deceased, and twelve hours after death made a post-mortem examination, and found that many parts of the body were greatly emaciated indicating lowness of vitality. He believed that death was caused by general paralysis. He thought the case should have been sent to the Hospital, and not to the Asylum. This being the whole of the evidence the jury returned a verdict "Died from natural causes.

Sweeps on the Occidental Sweepstake on the Melbourne cup will take place this even ing at eight o'clock at the hotel.

The Auckland Drum and Fife Band will hold their annual musical and literary enter tainment on Tuesday evening next, in the City Hall. The entertainment will consist of solos, musical selections, original and select readings, humourous and sentimental ballads, and dances. The friends who have promised to take part will meet in the said hall on Monday evening for practice.

' Messrs Garrett Bros, bootmakers, Wake field-street, are now clearing out their pre sent large and varied stock of boots of almost every description; and, as will be seen by advertisement, the prices are almost half what is usually charged, being about to re linquish the retail trade for the wholesale.— [Advt.]

The fifth monthly meeting of the Auckland Institute will be held on Monday evening next in the large room next to the Museum. The Choral Hall concert on Monday night promises to be a grand success. The seats are being appropriated very fast. We should recommend all who intend going to apply for tickets at Uptons early on Monday morn ing. A full house is a certainty. We understand that some important alterations have been made in the first part of the programme. These are calculated to enhance the effect of the music.
