Two Houses Destroyed And Others Damaged.

Incendiarism Again Suspected.

ANOTHER destructive fire occurred shortly before daybreak yesterday morning. The scene of operations on this occasion was that portion of AVellesley-street between Nelson-street and Freeman's Bay, and the housesdestroyed were thoseintheoccupation of Mrs O'Connell, Limerick lace worker, and Mr Pearson Wilson, while Mrs Halstead's and Mr Duppuy's residences were seriously damaged. Incendiarism ia again assigned as the most probable theory to account for the outbreak, and the suspicion of foul play is strengthened by circum stances which have come ta light since the occurrence. The fire broke out in the premises of Mrs O'Gonnell, which appear to have been unoccupied at the time. The alarm was given by Miss Charlotte Halstead, who resides with her mother, in the adjoining house. She was roused from her sleep in an upstairs room by a cracklingrroiec, and proceedingtoa window, observed flames shooting upwards from the kitchen of Mrs CConncll's house. Neigh bours began to assemble immediately •after the alarm v/as given, and one ■of the first on the sceno v.as Mr t;eorge Leahy, who resides opposite. Mrs Halstead has been suffering from •rheumatic fever for some six weeks past, and •her removal -.vas attended with difficulty ■and some danger to her3elf. She was fortunately earned out before the flames had ■extended sufficiently far to prevent egress, and was taken across to Mr Leahy's house in sa/tty. The Fire Brigade arrived on the scotie very soon after the alarm had b«ien given, but some delay was caused in consequence of the nearest lire plug having been jammed or shifted by a heavy weight passing over it. It was found necessary to tear up a portion of tho road way before the connection could be made. By this time Mrs o'Connoll's and Mr Wil son's houses were completely in the posses sion of the flames, and there was not tho slightest prospect of saving thorn. The Brigade therefore devoted Its attention to the adjoining pro- : mises, and steady streams of water wore soon playing upon these from various points. Tho struggle was short anddecisivc. Scarcely half-nn-hour had elapsed before the firo was extinguished. The two centre houses were completely destroyed, while Halstead's and Duppuy's suffered to the extent that the walls nearest to the fire were burnt through nnd the roofs badly damaged. Tire Brigade, Salvage Corps, and Naval Artillery all worked we'll during the progress of the fire, while the police mustered in force under Sergeants Kiely, Clarke, and McMohon, Detectives Walker, Twohey, lind Hughes wsre also present.

Mrs D'Connoll's Statement. From t>. statement made by Mrs O'Connell, it wo>jld appear tLat she is a married woir-.an living apart from her husband, vt\io is employed at Mr Dampier's shop In Hobson-strect. She says that she left the house at 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday last in company with her son Michael, agod 18 years, who is in the employ of Mr Bottrill, painter, Hepbnrn-strett, and also her nephew, William Johnston, aged 10 "years. They proceeded on a visit to Mr Barthy, hotel-keeper at the Thames, leaving Auckland at 7 p.m. on the 18th. They re. turned by the Kotomahana at 8 p.m. last Saturday evening*. On arrival at her house she found that she had lost. the key of the back door, which she had taken with her. Consequently, as she oould not get into her own house without the key, she and tho two boys slept at Mr Wilson's, next door. The front door of her houso was fastened by a spring lock, and the key left in the lock on the inside. The kitchen door was secured by a common lock, the key of which she believes she lost, •or left on tho Rotomahana- She saved nothing from her house, but took with her to the Thames two valuablo milk dresses, and what little jewel lery she had, besides some underclothing There was a pane of glass 18 x 36 inches broken in the boys' bedroom window on the 'east Bide of the house, and she had a piece •of pasteboard naileH over it. She could :givo no explanation of the origin of •the fire. Mrs O'Connell further stated 'that tho house and ground are free hold, with tho exception of ft small lien, "which is nearly paid off to Mr Wllliam- Tton, house agent. The house, furniture, •and stock is insured in her name and favour /or £800—viz , £230 on the house in the South British, £75 on her stock of. lace, and £495 on the house and furniture, in which office she does not know. She adds that eho had about £50 worth of lace ready for sale, and that her loss over and above the insurance is £100.

The Insurance;!. There appears to be some considerable complication in connection with the insur ances, and some difficulty was experienced by our representative in unravelling the mysterious skein of facts and figures. The largest insurance is on Mrs O'Connell'a house and furniture, which is covered to tho substantial extent of £800. This is made up as follows .-—South British, £230 on the house, which, with tho land, is subject to a mortgage of £375 to Mr Chas. Williamson. Union : £250 on the house, £130 on the furniture and £75 on tho lace; also, i'o3 not accounted for. Total, £800. Pearson '.Wilson's: United Office, £4CO on the house, and £00 in the London and Lancashire ofiice. Only a small portion of thefurniturewassaved. Dupping s house was owned by Mr Trafford, anJ was insured for £235 in the New Zealand, while there was a policy in the London and Lancashire for £200 on the furniture, which has been somewhat damaged by removal Mrs Halstead'a house was insured for £400 in the London and Lancashire, but there was no policy on her furniture. Mrs Stevenson, her daughter, who livaa with her, had a policy of £200 on her furniture in tho Norwich Union. The circumstances of the fire are of a most suspicious character, and an enquiry will be held. "

INTENDED PROHIBITION OF STREET ASSEMBLIES.

Petition to tho Council,

:From the pulpits of several city churches :yesterday, annoucoements were made of an intent on the part of the City Council to put down street preaching, and the congre gation, in each instance, were exhorted to sign a petition against thia proposal as they retired fram the sacred building. The cause of this apprehensiou is disclosed in the following clause of the new by-law, which comes into force on Wednesday week, the second of April:—' Street obstruction :No persons shall assemble in any street, or congregate at the corner of any street, or where any streets intersect, and no person or persons shall collect or cause any number of persons to collect or congregate in any street, or conduct or hold any public meeting therein, so as to impede persons passing, or be guilty of- any conduct calculated to annoy the public. The leaders of the Salvation Army consider that the clause is prompted by a desire to put down their open-air gatherings and processions, and they declare their determination to brave the authorities in this respect, and to persist at all hazards in the course they have hither to pursued. Other bodies, however, as the Baptists and Primitive Methodists, for instance, also hold open air evangelical Katherings, and they likewise feel them felves aggrieved. The result is tha* the following petition has been drafted and was being extensively signed yesterday, viz. : "To His Worship the Mayor and members of the City Council: Wo, the undersigned ratepayers and citizens of the city of Auck gtSS tfVffio^t^rfof Jpffld nature. We feel sure that such a steD is very unwise; when you take fnto consideration that only 40 per cent, of the population attend any place of worship, and further remember that by the efforts a ready put forth in the direction in dicated, numbers who were before a source of trouble to the authorities, have become useful and respected citizens. We appea . .to-you to eliminate the by-law nov,- bein" ' considered by the Council, dealing «i . the matter now under head of/ Steal Ob structiori?."

THE DEFEAT OF OSMAN DIGNA.

Interesting Details of the Battle.

London', March 15,

Later diapatches received from tho Soudan give further details of the engage ment between the British force commanded by Major-General Graham, and the rebels under Osman Digna, near Zuareba, on Thursday last. The fighting was of a most determined character, the Arabs making desperate and repeated charges. So fierce, indeed, were the attacks of the rebels, that one of the British brigades, commanded by Colonel Davies, was first repulsed and driven back about 800 yards. Fortunately, tho second brigade, under Colonel Bullcr, was near at hand, and with his assistance and the timely aid of tho Cavalry, the first brigadeeffec ted their retreat in good order, reformed under cover of their comrades, returned to the attack, and after two hours' hard fighting the enemy wore beaten at every point. But for tho orderly manner, however, in which the soldiers of tho repulsed brigade effected their temporary retreat the consequences might have been most disastrous. The British forces are now returning to Souakim, which is the present head quarters of Major- General Graham.

[BY TELEGRAM!.—rRKSS ASSOCtATION.I

Patea, this day. A distressing occurrence happened here on S lturday night. Miss Gardner, stewardess of the s.s. Wavcrley, and two young men named William Mitchison aDd Thomas Lawrence were proceeding to the vessel after witnessing Blondin's performance. The night was excessively dark, and when the three wero walking along tho wharf, Lawrence, who was on the outsido, walked off and caught hold of Miss Gardner to save himself. Suo in turn caught Mitchison, and the three fell into the river. Mitehison endeavoured to save Miss Gardner, but was unable to do so. He managed, however, to get out very much exhausted, and gave the alarm. A party at onco proceeded to the spot and commenced dragging. After 'about half an hours work the body of Lawrence was recovered close to where they. tell ia, but Miss Gardner's body was not found till next morning, about a quarter of a milo down the river. While the work of dragging was going on, a man named Quinn came near losing his life. In tho darkness he fell off the wharf, striking the woodwork, and was with great difficulty rescued. An inquest is proceed ing today.

An inquiry will bo held at the Ponsonby Club Hotel to monow afternoon into the circumstances attending the late fire in Jervois Road, Ponsonby.

A few sales of Prince Imperials have taken place to-day at 15s, but there ia nothing else doing. The Army crushing of 5 tons produced loz. lGdwts. The Vulcan Company has declared a dividend of Id per share.

The police have received information of the destruction by fire on the 14th instant of a five-roomed cottage, the property ot James Johnßton, and situated at Northcote. The fire Vs supposed to have been ceused by boys lighting long grass and furze inthß vicinity of the cottage. The building was insured for £200 in the New Zealand Insur ance Company.

Mrs Mary Ann Heighway, the wifo of Mr P. H. Heighway, land and estate agent, died yesterday at Eden Terrace in the sixty second year of her age. The deceased lady was the daughter of Mr Adams, the well known civil engineer of Coventry, and, accompanied by her husband and family, she came to Auckland by the Green Jacket ship in 1864, having left Madely, Salop, towards the close of the year. Mrs Heigh way was much respected by her neighbours; was a quiet, industrious woman, and enjoyed excellent health nearly to the period of her death. She leaves four . sons' and four daughters (all grown up) to mourn her departure.

Time and tide wait for no man, and war ships, it seems, can be quite as exasperating in their movements. The Espiegle has hurried Captain Bridges and his officers away from Auckland, while they were c nmtinc upon being present at theamusine performance which is to take place in the Opera House to-morrow.
