DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Over £10,000 Damage—Supposed Loss of

(BY T_XKI.RA_H. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

l-BEFTO-T, this day. A FIRE broko out yesterday evening at six o'clock at Walker's Hotel, Boatman., nnd spread with alarming rapidity, causing great destruction of property. The places burnt include Walkor's Hotel, Nelson's Hotel, Mrs Burkes Hotel, Gallagher's store, Form's storo, Cascsler's, bootmaker,Duffy's butcher, and other places. The lire is said to be now threatening Archer's Hall. There is no water supply or tire brigade at Boat mans. Ths insurances arc nut large. Tho Standard will probably be tho greatest loser.

Later Particulars.

The following aro the insurances as far as is yet known :—Walker's hotel, largo two storey building, estimated value t'l,_f>o, total loss, with contents ; insuranoo— £250 on billiard tablo in Standard oflico. Billiard table only saved. Mrs Bourke's hotel totally destroyed, with contents, estimate loss i'CoO, no insurance Casslor, boot maker, totally destroyed, estimated loss tleO, no insurance Gallagher Bros., largo now shop and residence, wholly destroyed, with two-thirds of stock, estimated loss £3000; insurance — £_00on stock in Standard (hulf re-insured in Norwich Union) i'-jUO on stock in Victoria Office (half insured in some other oiiico unknown) _;.00 on stock ia Equitable. Winford's butchery, totully destroyed, loss £100, no insurance. Wilson's- hotel, total Joss ; with con tents, estimated loss £1,000 ; insurance —£300 in Standard, Duffy's butchery, used as a storeroom by Gallagher, totally dostroyed, loss .t'loo, uninsured. Ferris Sparo, promises very slightly damaged, but stock suffered in removal; estimated value £1,500; insured £200 on stock and £'200 on buildings in Standard. Acher's hotel and storo, estimated value £3,500, premises uninjured, stock slightly damaged, no insurance, policies having lapsod a few weeks ag». The tire startod.at about 0 o'clock, in the upper storey of Walker's hotel, tho cause being unkno yvn. There was a strong wind blowing up tho Gorge, and the hsat bee_-.no so intense that no one could get near, tho place burning very rapidly. A quantity of stock was thrown into the street from Gal lagher's store, but took fire after removal, and ia badly damaged by . .vater. It con sisted chiefly of drapery and other inflam mable goods, But for a change of wind, nothing could havo saved Eerris and Archer's premises, as there was no water, no brigade, and the utmostdi-O.ganisation pre vailed. Thefirecompletely ruins noarly all the Bufl'erers; the insurances, whero effected, being a mere bagatelle. Several of the owners were at work in tho' mines whon the fire took place, and the number of people in the township was wholly inadequate to cope with the outbreak. It is not known whether any lives havo been lost, but one person is said to bo missing, and the ruins are now being searched. Tho tiro has demolished the chiof business block of the place.

EXAMINATION IN BANK RUPTCY.

William John Anderson was oxamincd on oath before tho Assignee to-day. He said :

—" lam a carpenter by trade, ar.d up to twelve months ago worked as journeyman. About that time I took small contract jobs, but so far have lost money on everyone of them. I undertook these jobs along with a mate. We had no money, but relied entirely on progress payments to carry us on. From the first I never spent as much as journeymen's wages for private pur poses. Xdo not think my mate spent more tnan I did. He left me about a foitnight since. We are both married men. My mate has gone up country and has not filed. I don't think ho has any assets what ever, in this belief I have included all tha joint liabilities as well as my own private, debts, amounting altogether to £414 8s 8d unsecured, and .t':iol 5s seearod. The assets are my own, except the £34 above referred to, and consist of a section and house at Mount Eden worth £400, over which there is a mortgage of £301 ss. I value my fur niture at £20, but it would not fotch as much at auction."
