Fire in Hobson-street.

DESTRUCTION OF A TWO-STORIED

HOUSE,

NARROW ESCAPE OF ADJOINING

PREMISES.

ANOTHER fire occurred this morning in Lower Hobson-street, by which a nine roomed two-storied dwelling-house, owned and occupied by Henry Keesing, junior, was destroyed. The circumstances con nected with the outbreak, so far as we are able .to ascertain, are as follow:—Mr Keesing and family retired to rest at the usual hour last night, when there was no appearance of fire. Exactly at five o'clock this morning, Miss Robinson, who was staying at the house, awoke, and noticing that the room was filled with smoke, asked Hose Keesing, who was sleeping in the same room, if any of the boys were up. Miss Keesing did not know, and they got up to see where the smoke was coming from. Miss Robinson then saw the flames at the rear of the building, and she called out that THE HOUSE WAS ON FIRE. The members of the family were speedily alarmed, and it was then observed that the flames were issuing from a lean-to at the rear of the house. One of Mr Keesing's sons was sent to inform Superintendent Hughes of the outbrreak. He roused that gentleman from liis innocent slumbers, and told him that their house was on fire. Superintendent Hughes immediately re qusted him to proceed to the Victoria and Albert-streets firebell, aud sound au alarm, which he did. Simultaneously the warning notes of the New Zealand Insurance Com pany's fire-bell rang out, causing consider able alarm, aud speedily filling the streets with sleepy-looking, half-dressed citizens, who anxiously inquired where the fire was. Meantime, Mr Keesing, his sons, and several neighbours had obtained several buckets, and attempted to extinguish the flames by the application of necessarily small quantities of water. But the hope was a vain one. The fire had obtained too strong a hold on the building to be easily overcome. Breaking out in the lean-to, it had entered the house by one of the rear windows, and at this time it was bursting through the weatherboards on the southern side of the house. The Fire Brigade, under Superintendent Hughes, now arrived on the ground with the hose and other apparatus. A hydrant was quickly attached to a main a short distance off in .Hobson street, and in an incredibly short space -of time a stream of water was available. There was a fresh northerly breeze blowing at the time, and the-flames had been carried in the direction of the house of Mrs Pelkington, which is situated about twenty yards distant, in a southerly direction. The shingles of this building having taken fire, Superintendent Hughes decided to turn the first jet of water upon it. This was done, and the flames extinguished. The jet was then turned on to Keesing's house, and in a few minutes the effect became apparent. The buildiug was one mass of flames, and as the roof had partially fallen in, it was plainly evident that there was no chance of,saving the building. Notwithstand ing this, however, the Fire Brigade were determined NOT TO GIVE IN WITHOUT A SEVERE STRUGGLE. Another lead of hose was brought from "West Queen-street through the intervening properties, and commenced to play on the rear of the buildiug. Branchman Harley, and Firemen Slade and Boreham, then ascended the front verandah and played a strong jet of water through the upstairs window. This was very successful, and a couple of minutes later they entered through the window, and then followed up every advantage quickly, and in a very short time the fire in the front room on the sovtthem side was extinguished. The building was then deluged with water from both leads of hose ; and the crowd which had assembled, seeing there was no danger to the neighbouring buildings, slowly began to disperse. Ab G. 45 a.m. the debris was saturated Avith water, and the supply was therefore cut off. The Fire Brigade certainly desen re praise for the manner in which they worked. Notwith standing the fact that when they commenced the fire had obtained a firm hold of the building, which was completely enveloped in flames, they arrested the progress of the " devouring element" before-it had time to complete its work of destruction. The out side framework of the house, which was a wooden one,has been left standing,although the inside is completely burnt out. la fact it may fairly be said that the ': HOUSE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED. The boards that: have been leit are all charred to a considerable extent, and will only be fit for fuel; During the progress of the fire a number of-'neighbours and others worked energetically in saving furniture, and a considerable quaatity was removed from Messrs Pilkington and Keesiug's houses. An immense four-poat bedstead was skil-

fully taken through the window of the .latter, buttdingrbyiDetective. Grace and another gentleman, and the feat excited con siderable wonderment and surprise. The Police Force (under Sub-Inspector Pardy and Sergeant-Major Mason), the Salvage Corps (under Captain Butler), the Naval Company of Volunteers (under Captain Le Roy and Sub-Lieut. Parker), and a number of the Newton Fire Brigade were present, aud rendered considerable assistance in their several departments., v LIVES LOST AND PROPERTY RECOVERED. A number of the members of the Naval Company were formed into a search party, for the purpose of recovering articles of value from the debris. They had only been at work a short time when a horrified ex clamation from Seamen Murphy brought his companions to his side. Fol lowing the direction of his trans fixed gaze, they saw a portion of what. was evidently a dead body lying amongst the ashes. Sticks were procured, with which the surrounding debris was cleared away. It was then ascertained that their conjecture that it was a dead body was quite correct, but further examination elicited the fact that it was the body of a valuable poodle dog, which had been locked up in the housej The body of another animal was subsequently discovered, but as it was considerably charred and burnt it could not be identified, although it was believed to be another poodle or a cat. In one of the rooms up-staiis, a gold brooch, considerably charred, and other valuable articles of jewellery, were discovered by the firemen, and handed over to Mr Keesing. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. It is believed that the fire originated in a lean-to at the back of Mr Keesing's house. In this lean-to there was a zinc bucket, where the ashes from the grate were deposited. Ashes were placed in here last night, and it is believed that by some means they ignited, and set fire to the woodwork. Or perhaps a live coal may have fallen on to the floor, and caused the outbreak. The bucket leterred to was discovered subsequent to the fire, and a poition of the side had all the appearance of having been clos-e to where the fire originated, being burnt and whitened by the heat. INSURANCES AND LOSS. The building was|insured in the Norwich Union Insurance Company tor £300, but the furniture was not insured. There is a mortgage of £400 on the property. Mr Keesing's loss is estimated at considerably more than the insurance, and will amount to nearly £I^ooo.

RAILWAY MATTERS.

CABBAGS TREE SWAMP STATION.

We learn on good authority that Messrs Conyers and Lawson will recommend the Government not to adopt Morningside as the site oi the railway station, but will have a flag-station erected at the junction of the Cabbage Tree Swamp Road, with a view to establishing a permanent station there. The cost is estimated at a few hundreds of pounds only. The site acquired at Morningside will probably be sold. THE NEWMARKET WORKSHOPS. We have reason to believe also that the Commissioners of Railways will recommend the removal of the railway workshops to Newmarket, and that the prisoners at Mount Eden-will be immediately set to work to clear a site for the buildings. REMUERA BRIDGE. The Commissioners, we learn, will recommend that the gradient here be lowered 6 feet, so as to enable the trains to pass under a bridge. Mr Tole, M.H.R., has used his influence in regard to these works, and he deserves the gratitude of those who will benefit by them for his able advocacy of their interests.
