FIRE AT SHELLY BEACH.

Stablos and a Quantity of Furniture

Dostroyod,

Precisely at noon to-day tho firo alarms of the city and suburbs tolled forth the warn ing that another outbreak had occurred. Tho streets were filled with people 'at the time, and tho utmost commotion pre vailed. It soon became known that the iiro was in lioneonby, and hundreds of people, besides the Fire Brigade and Salvage Corps with their appliance*, started oil" in that direction. At the foot of College Road, a cab containing Messrs Upton and 11. 11. Stevenson was met, and these gentlemen stilted that the lire, which had destroyed .stables at Shelly Beach, was extinguished, tho assembled crowd returned more slowly to town than they left it. The scene of the outbreak Mas tho estate at Shelly Beach known as Cftmpbelville, which is owned by MrCampboll, and is now in thu occupation of Mrs Graham and family. Shortly before 1"J o'clock to-day Mrs Graham observed smoke

through the window of her dwelling-house, and calling to her sister,' Mrs Higgins, slic requested to see what was the matter. they went outside together, and found the stable, a two ■ storey building scarcely fifteen yards distant to be in flames. The children were at school, and they could do nothing either to arrest tho progress of the devouring clement or to remove a quantity of valuable goods stored inside. Volumes of smoke ascending attracted the attention of neighbours, a number of whom hurried in with the object of lending what assistance they could. It was too late to get anything out of tho stable, but by beat ing down the gates and fences and keeping the roof of the dwelling house, which ignited several times, saturated with water, they succeeded in preventing the flames from ex tending to it. There would have been very little chance of saving the house, had it not beon for tho fact that a large treo which was growing between tho two build ings assisted in keeping the lire and sparks from tho dwelling. The process of destruction occupied a very short time, but during that period Messrs Rev ington, Edmund Jack, Stodart, and others rendered most valuable assistance. Tho stable was owned by Mr Campbell, and insured with the other property. It would appear that tho most serious portion of tho loss falls upon Mr James Cargo (Mrs Graham's brother) who had £100 worth of household furniture stored in the stable. Every article of his was des troyed, and unfortunately for him it was not insured. There were also in the stable one ton of oaten hay and a quantity of tools belonging to Mrs Graham, some harness; also Mr Cargo's property, and a lady's side saddle. Nothing definite known concerning the cause of the out break. One of Mr Bainbridge's horses was accommodated in the stable, and about eleven o'clock a boy enmo to take It away. He endeavoured for some time to get hold of it, and failing in this, went fur Mr Perm, the groom, who took it away about ten minutes before the tire was noticed. It was thought that he must have dropped a lighted match amongst the hay, but he denies this, and says he does not smoke.

The house wns insured for £300 and the stable for £100; both in the Imperial. There is practically no damage to the house.

DEAD BODY FOUND.

At a late hour this afternoon a dead body was found at the North Head. We were unable to get further particulars before

g IK) —Earnest thanks are duo to Messrs Mackechnie, Peacock, and Walker, to the evening and morning papers, and to the Mayor, for the stand they are making against the attempt by a email portion of the citizens to take from the rest some of their public righto. I believe there is as much public spirit here as was evinced at Dimcdin on a similar occasion, when £1,600 were promised in a few hours, and if monoy should be required to assist to fight tho legal battle either over the portion wanted by the cricketers or that other portion re ferred to by tho "Herald," which the Bowling Club now claim, I will have plea sure in handing you £10 as my contribution to a fund for that purpose. I would have preferred enclosing my card and signing myself "Citizen," but think in a caso like this it is every man's duty to have the courago to state his opinions over his own name.—Yours respectfully, C. J. HUTCHINSOK. [We hope such a fund will be rendered unnecessary by the action of the Cioy Council. But if vigorous measures to pro tect the rights of citizens are not instituted by that body, we are confident, from assur ances already received from many quarters, that both men and money will be forth coming to co-operato with our corres pondent in fighting this question ant.—Ed.
