THE LATE FIRE ON MOUNT EDEN ROAD-INQUEST.

Ax inquiry into the circumstances attend ing tho latest fire on the Mount Eden Road commenced nt 2 o'clock yesterday after noon, in the Eden Vine Hotel, before Dr. Philson, Coroner, and a jury of 13 gentle men, viz.: — Christopher Bailey, E. G. Sandall, Frank Kinloch, Walter Bayne, Charles Lover, John Gilmour, Frederick Jlaylc, Thomas James, Alfred Tyer, David Ross, John Morrison, Thomas Hedger, nnd Robert Cundall, Mr Charles Layer was chosen foreman. Gentleman representing several of the insurance companies were also present. The Coroner having stated the object of the inquest, the jury went to the scene of the fire, and then returned.

Mr Russell, on behalf of the Fire Insur ance Company of London, applied that the inquest might be adjourned, as the insur ance companies wore not prepared at pre sent to go on with it. Mr Hesketh, on behalf ol two other companies, also asked that the inquiry should be adjourned. Mr Lavor wished the case gone on with, and Mr Maris Clark, Chairman of the Insurance Companies Association, was in favour of tho caso proceeding. It was not fair to the jurymen that they should be asked to givo ii]i for the public good any more time than v.-iis absolutely necessary. The insurance companies sympathised with the jurymen for I he sacrifice of their time these inquiries entailed, but as to the proposition made at the last inquest—that the companies should pay I hem —they would see it would be im proper for them to be considered in any sense in the employ of the insurance com panies. The majority of the jurymen were in favour of the inquiry beinggono on with, and it was decided to do so.

Edwin Jones was first examined. Ho deposed that he was a storekeeper and ex prcßsman, lately residing in one of the buildings destroyed by the fire. Remem bered the night of the fire. Closed shop at a littlo after 9 p.m., and went to bed. Occupied the shop and three rooms of the house, besides using the kitchen. Let tho other rooms to Mrs Allies and her two daughters. Mrs Jones wont to bed first. Mrs Allies and her two daughters were absent. He (witness) retired to rest a quarter-of-an hour after his wife. Had been in bed for five or ton minutes, when he heard a crackling noise. Did not know exactly where. Got up and looked out of the bed room door. Smelt the smoke coming up the stairs from the kitchen ; it was quite hot. Immediately aroused his wife. Picked up what things and papers possiblo, and ran out of the front door. Could not go below, as he was prevented by the smoke. Knew the smoke was coming up the stairs, but could nottoll where itcame from. Wasin the kitchen about half-an-hour beforo go. ing to bed. Thero was a fire in the kitchen. Did not notice it particularly. Thero was a Leamington range, not a very good one. It had been used for cooking a pudding. Gave the alarm of fire by calling out. Mr Taylor and Mrs Pillenger were amongst the first to respond. Ran down the back for water, but couldn't getany. Thensawflames through the kitchen window. Was certain the lire originated in his kitchen, but could not tell whereabouts. Chimney had not been swept during hie eight or ten months' occupation. Could not account for the origin of tho fire. Stock was composed of groceries; could not tell its value ; had not mado up the list. It was insured for J_loo in Scottish Imperial; c-ilected the insurance in March Inst. Tho furniture was also insured in the Norwich i Union for i'GO, which was effected four or live months before the fire. Was quite sure no candle was alight in the kitchen; there were several small articles of clothing on a clothes horso in front of the fire, but they wero not theirs (the Jones's).

Cross-examined by Detective Twohey: Tt was about 5 o'clock when he saw them. There were two bags of sugar, a box and a-half of tea, and other things in the shop. Could not tell exactly what he had. There wero also two boxes candles, and one bag of Hour, not quite full; five or six tins of lollies, a case and ahalf of kerosene, and numerous other small goods. Did not save a trunk containing two of his wife's dresses —one of them her wedding dress. Did not close at half-past 8 on the night of tho fire. Closed soon after 9, and at once retired to rest. Should value his stock at about £140. I lad some stock in about a week before, from Brown and Barrett's, comprising a case of jam, tobacco, and other things, worth about £7 or £8. Could not tell tho amount of his previous order. Could not say what time his wife was last nt the door. He was last at tho shop door. Had not made any arrangements to leave the colony. Did not tell anyone so. Cross-examined by Mr Russell: Was only a tenant of the house. Did not know if Mr Pillenger, the owner, was insured. The plan produced was a correct one. Could not toll tho time at which Mrs Allies and her daughters went out. Went to bed at 9.15. Mrs Jones had been in bed about half-an hour—could not say exactly. Did not attempt to save anything, although there was no smoke in the shop. Went straight through, thinking to put the firo out. Believed ho had seen a tub of water in the kitchen, but was not sure. Did not see a tub on the 28th. Mrs Jones mado a pudding after Mrs Allies had used the range. The fire was kept up after Mrs Allies left. Didn't think the fire went out at all. Was last in the kitchen at Bor 8.30. Wood was used in the fire, about a foot long. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh : Saved some papers — invoices, insurance, and others. Had not made up a list of his goods; had applied for insurances. Began to put somo things down, but did not continue for want of a proper form. Did not know whet things were on the list; made it up from his hoad. IMado some entries in a pocketbook. Had his bost clothes on ; was working till 3 o'clock that day. Afterwards changed his things and went down to town. He (wit ness) dragged a box out of the store-room containing somo tools and ono or two worthless skirts. Did not think there was anyone in the kitchen- after him. There was no sign of firo then. Did not know what his wife wore on the 28th. Supposed his wife had a whito apron on at the time. Mr Hesketh : Wo do not want to know what you suppose. Yes, his wife did wear an apron. Was in debt. Never did much business. Did not know when the policy expired. Knew it was some timo in March. To a juror: Did not usually employ tho downstairs fire. Used wood, and coal. Fed tho fire for the purpose of boiling the pudding. Could not say whether there was hre in tho stove when he (witness) went to bed. Did not think his wife pressed Mrs Allies to go out on the 2Sth. Kept no kerosene downstairs. Mrs Allies might have kept somo. Commenced business about ten months ago. Bought the business from Mr Pillenger for about £90—might bo a little more or less. Could not toll what his weekly takings amounted to. Principal things were got from Mr H. B. Morton, Mr Rule, J. Buchanan, and Brown and Barrett. Saved somo few things, such as trousers, &c. Tried to save some of Mrs Allics's things. Next day went to his brother's, and walked with him to the Domain and other places.

To another juror: AVas in the street at 20 minutes to 10, shouting "Fire!" (The jury men : What would you say if I state that a person passed that way at that time, when there was no sign of fire?) Got water for his horso. Could not get any to put out the firo. It was dirty.

Another juryman : How did you get tho box out of the house ?

Witness : Got it out of the window. To tho Coroner: Saved some blankets, etc.

Cross-examined by Mr Russell: Ho paid £90 for the stock, at which timo it was in sured for £150. Purnituro was worth about £100. It consisted of chairs, a couch, tables, &c. Sitting-room contained a chest of drawers, nine chairs, and a plain table. Could not say how much he paid Garlick and Cranwoll. Might havo paid £20. By Detective Twdhey: Did you buy goods anywhere else ?

Witness : We bought most of it at Gar lick and Crunwoll's, and some at other places.

Dotoctivo: Can you name any of tho places? Witness: I can't ivim ober; we got somo at different places. To Detective Twohey : On. man could lift the box containing the tools out of the window. [The witness afterwards stated that thero was nothing in the box.] Valued the bedroom furniture at £18 or £20.

This concluded the examination of Mr Jones.

Mrs Jones was the next witness. Sho deposed that sho was wife of the last witness. Remembered the night of the 28th January. Could not tell what time sho closed tho shop that night; it was about 9. Clock kept pretty good time ; did not know what kind of clock it was, whether it waß an S-day one or not. Served several customers after 8.30, but they were strangers. Could not remomber what time she went to bed on tho night of tho fire—it was so long ago, and she had had a lot of bother since. Was dozing off to sleep when her husband called her. He said they would ■be su (located. Got up, took some papers and blankets, and ran out. Did not know what made her think of the papers. Sup. posed she unlocked the door — couldn't say. Her husband shouted "Fire." She had no boots on, and was in her

I nightdress. Went through tho shop. Could not tell the valuo of the furniture Two rooms wore furnished — did not re' member with what things; thought th i chairs were cane. Did not remember nay ing £22 to Garlick and Cianvell. Boiitrht furniture at other places; did not know where. The storeroom contained a bed and bedding and several other things. Was positive sho did not save any account book. Did not know what dress she wore on the night of the fire—it might have been bluo or black. Did not wear an apron. Could not tell what time she was last at the shop door— it was about 9, or it might have been a quarter to 9. Was in the kitchen about 8.30 at which time there was a little fire. The fuel might have been coal or wood. Cooked two puddings that day, but could not say what time they wero put on • took one off about 8. Was sure she did not see a gentleman returning from a school committee meeting on the 28th. There were two tubs in the kitchen, one on the top of the other. Witness could not give any account of the origin of the fire. Had at tended to the shop for some timo, but could not give a description of the stock. To Mr Russell: Did not know at tho time what the stock was insured for; had found out since. Did not see the insurance papers tho day previous to the fire. Could not tell what was in the dining-room. Trade was not quite so good ns it had been! Neither she nor her husband kept any ac counts. Made Mrs Allies a cup of tea in the evening. She did not say to Mrs Allies, when that lady hesitated about going oot, that she (Mrs Allies) ought to go out, and not stay at home " moping." (The witness afterwards acknowledged saying so but stated that she did not mean it.) Her husband went to the Domain on the 28th to practise for running in a race next day. There was no smoke in the shop when sho and her husband wont through. After several other questions had been asked, and the witness had been cross examined by Mr Hesketh, the inquiry was adjourned till to-day at 2 o'clock, when thoro are eight witnesses to be examined.""

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evening Star.)

Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, and having satisfied my self of tho genuineness of the cures effected I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suo eeed In relieving me. For the past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite 01 the most able treatment on the part of my meal oal advisor, continued to hold Its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and my whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located In my loft thigh, and tho pain at times was most excruciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and tho great est care and attention on ray part, I ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, as a forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded me relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the cure was complete; but I have gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain—ln fact, a man again. I must confess that I tried the Oil in abso lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or four nights previously, and my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to tlie proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continuo to recommend it to every sufferer who comes within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard It as tho greatest boon of the age, lam, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, John Lkk. Ashbourne, Mudgcc, November 12,1883.

THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEFT, "Clarence Cottage, " Thomas-street, Balmaln, "21st August, 1883. " Publishers Evening Star, " Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I hod a severe attack of rliuematism in my back, which Save me ne end of pain and trouble. I used St. acob's Oil, and in one or two applications the pain entirely left. Since then I have had occa sion to uso the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its effect was simply magical. My wife has used It for neuralgia in the head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St. Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation.and shallnot only use it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friends to do so. "Yours truly, "W. P. Booth." IT CONQUERS PAIN. IT CONQUERS PAIN.

THE Subscribers will sell by auction, at their Rooms, Queen-street, on Wednes day, 20th February, at 12 o'clock, THE CALLIOPE DOCK ESTATE. In offering this Estate to public competition, the Proprietors do not intend, as is usually done, to puff, or in other words, to give fictitious colouring to the several ad vantages it possesses. They, however, wish to point out certain facts In connection with il; that defy contradiction, and which, from its value as a suburban pro perty, is due to themselves and to the public. This estate, having an unrivalled beach front ago, is oqui-distant between the Victoria Wharf and Caliope Dock, about two minutes' walk from each, and it is to bo particularly noted that this Dock, on the construction of which no less than £110,000 will be oxpendod, will make it, when completed, tho finest and largest Dock in the Southern Hemisphere. A preliminary contract is now being carried out for tho Harbour Board, at a cost of over £1,000 to widen tlie Beach Road fronting this estate to 100 feet, as shown on plan, which, on completion, will form a magnificent esplanade. As the available Beach frontage between tho Victoria Wharf and Calliope Dock is so limited, and as this is the only portion likely to be offered for salo for years, an opportunity is offered to investors of securing frontages that must, from their proximity to the Dock, within a short time attain city values as businoss sites.
