DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

BOWTBBK'S STABLES GUTTED

MR ' 3 etablea in Wellesley - street CiTere gutted by firo at an early hour in". S°mo considerable damage "* T" to the building and a portion ffis done to we * „ wjU bo Of J ho /to the friends of Mr gf'X? to loam that it is confidently Orowtoer insurances, which amount tofl' thr^k occurred about three o'clock, ThBOU fistTdiscovered by Mr Crowthor, »3d ffl' -if in tiio eastern portion of tlio ff ho . rcsiae Vj e wM nwakonod by the crack- P^fflnmps and from bis room ho could extensive lire had broken SJO that an « Uoor o£ tho BtaW o»' , iai, devoted to the storage of grain. ffhlC nito evident to Mr Crowthor that could do nothiiiß toward, ox m twa tho flames, and without woitln t article of clothing, ho ran i, t0 • hfdrf sto tho boll at tho foot of feSKt and gave tho alarm. Extinguishes- tho Firo. The Kro Brigade, Salvage Corp?, and Jee under Senior Sergeant Pratt, were p ri« on tho fcouo, and set to ap6l witt celerity in their respective f k.; 3„! labour. Tho tiro had ML timQ obtained a pood hold of tho by t nto of tho grain loft, but the fact that Lto three sections by parapet «;aIU, assisted ffiadsconsidernblym their operation, fiod supply of water was available, and AgSlont pressure from tlireo or tour ? n H oi hoe was soon brought to bear, ffiwbile "lo of the employee,, a.^fe,! by a number of the epectat'ow. mannpd to Vrtn horses, amounting m number to ftf«S °"' «rf the BtablM, and ♦ S them loose in the street*. They r e 7oon heard cluttering off towards the XCand subsequently cr^jal no sniaH lountof consternation in noiKhbourhood* l » thn residents were not awaio ot r,w« tc, were al.-"o dratrired out into Street' for safety An increased nnantitv of water had to be poured into the Sing before tho flames wcro subdued, bu fortunately tho contents wore not of a nature co easily spoiled by water aa ta usually the case. '1 ho tire was confined entirely to tho upper story, which was completely gutted' Cause of tho Outbreak.

Ab«olutely nothing ia known respecting tho cause of tho outbreak. About VM sicks of chaff had boon taken into tho loft : terday, but this fact offers no explanation rf the mystery, unleas, indeed, ono of tho men had been smoking, aad had carelessly dropped a match. Even if this had been so it scorns very improbable that tho in ciiient fire could havo boon smouldoring so ] 0 L before making its prosonco known. Thw again, tho employees aro prohibited from smoking on tho promises. Thoro was no one in tho 16ft last evoniug or during tho night, and as a matter of fact, tho raon aro cot permitted to go into tho loft after dusk. Tho whole of the feed required for tho day's umaumption ia cut in tho morning, and ia ssnt down in a flhsot. Nothing foasiblo can therefore be suggested to account for tho outbreak, unless it bo tho theory of spon taneous combustion.

Damage and Insurance. Tho whole of tho interior of (he top Etorymay bo eaid to t>o burnt out. Tho stock ia destroyed, tho roof gono for tho greater part, and a conaiderablo portion of the floor burnt through. This may be said to (ummariso tho greater part of tho loss, All the horses turned out Inst nvjht were brought back today in safety, and apparently nnno tho wor?o for their ramble. Several of tho vehicles irere somewhat damaged in connequonco of hasty romoral, but tho loss in this couuer tioa might have bten much greater than it m The sense of security imparted by the knowledge that tho building was divided into three sactions by parapot walls was jach that none of Mr Orowthor'a furuitura was removed. This was fortunato, bocun-e he had not a penny of insurance upon it. Theßtockinilr Toutenberg's chop under neath the stable was also left untouched, and conesquently no damago has boon dono to it. Tho building insured in tbo National for £700, and the contonts of the loft for £300, and Mr Crowthor ia satisfied ttitthese amounts will covor tho loss, Tho fire will, hawovor, coniidorably impede and inconvenience him in his buainety ongago mentß. Much sympathy waa oxproi-sed toirards Mr Crowthor to-day, and consider tMe gratification waa folt when it bacamo Inowu that tho damagu was not by any means so great as was at first Btutod.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.

Grut Babbieb Island haa beon tho scono oi a boat accident which, it ia feared, hns caused the death of two porson3—n Maori named Hate and his wife. Tbeao two woro known to have embarked in a small boat to proceed from one part of tho island to another about the middle of last week. There was a pretty Btronj; gala blow ing at the time, and us tho boat and its occupanta did not turn up, it was at once anticipated that they had come to grief. A search on Thurs day led to the discovery of tho remain.-- of the boat, and of various articles known to have been cm board, on tho boaeh near Anena. It is conjectured that in ing to land the boat was driven on the rocUs by the fury of the waves, and that Hatoand na wife perished.

THE ANGLICAN MISSION.

At a quarter-past -1 o'clock yesterday after noon evensong was said by tho Rev. O. H, H. W alpole, and at S o'clock Mr Bodington conducted a mission acrvieo. A metrical lit any of ropantanco «ns firat sang, all present kneoling; them camo two collects, after wl. 1(; h tho lO'Jth hymn was sung, " earv Souls That Wander Wide." gAftor"£ lesson had been read, a powerful addro.es was delivered on "Sin." The hymn, "1 uiy My fern on Jesns," was then subr Mr Bodington afterwards instructed tho«o present how to obtain rcpontunco, daring which " Uush, my Soul, What \'oico ia i. leading," was sung kneeling Tla scryico then closed. This morninir at S o'clock Holy Com munion was administered by Mr .Boding ton, and afterwards at 0 o'clock by Mr iobba, Matins woro said at 10 o'clock by tho Ilov. A. Philips, followed by interces sory prayer afc 10.30 by Mr Bodlngton. At 12.15 an addrosa to men was loHvored by M r Alason. Llo Kcupitu bited that ho had already proved Christ to bo an liiatorical porsonage' by profane history, and then procooded to doduco aduitioual proof from tho gospol« Ho aaid that a gospel ought to bo road aa ono would ro.id tho biography of any woll-known man, and it would becomo at onco apparont that Christ was no mythical creation, but a reality") If ono pointed to tho works of Newton tomo might assert that no aich porsonaco had existed. Thou thoy would at onco ex claim that if Newton had not 'existed, it would have taken a Newton to forgo a Nowton, and much nioro co with Christ miffht this bo urged, that it had taken a Jesus to forgo a Jesus lac next point was to answer tho questions ii to why tho Uo.-'pol narrativo appealed so much tj evorvone'.-- foelinga. This ho con siciered to bo bocauso Josua was himself so intensely human. This was proved from various incidents montionod in'the Goapela, in tho kindly spiritof tlio Hrst miranlo, and in the bitterness of his agony wLo:i ho ox cluiinc 1"1 thir.st.1' Not ono weird of re proach for thoso who tortured or carried out tiio sontonco of tlio law, an oxcubo ready for L'ii'.to iti s'lyinc/ " Thoso wi.o declared mo to thco have tho greater sin," and no word of anger for Judas, who botmyed him. Tho truth of divinity was shown in that ho allowed the effect of torture to bo ap parent in him. A created porsouago would not have done this, but would havo been gritting hie tuoth and wiring his norves in order that it should not bo seen that tho iron had entered his fioul.

These addresses aro vory intorcstinf;-, and ai'o beiu^ botter attended each day. At :> p.m. an addrosa to women was delivered by Jlr Bodln^ton, nftor which cvensuuH was repented by tho incum bent. Another scrvloo will bo held at S p.m.
