At the meeting of the Harbour Board to* •totoaw tenders for coal, carting timber? ship chandlery and iron and brass work wil be considered. Mr Shearman, who is to succeed Mr J. B. Thomson in the charge of the Auckland Police District, is one of the oldest inspectors in the colony, and at one time it was thought likely that he would succeed the late Lieutenant-Colonel Reader as Commissioner of "Police. He was, however, passed over, and Major Gudgeon reserved the coveted appointment. It is no.;doubt with the object of avoiding friction that Mr Shearman is to be removed from Wellington. It was rumoured in Wel lington some months ago that Mr Inspector Pai-dy will probably be transferred to Auck land. We may add that very general regret is expressed at the contemplated removal of Mr Thomson, although the transfer is tinquestionably promotion for that gentle man,- and-an evidence of the confidence the authorities have in him. Mr Thompson is popular both with his eubordiantes and the public. At St. Benedicts yesterday, eleven o'clock mass was celebrated by Rev.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES

'"veiling House at Birkeuhead ttumied Down.

our second edition on Saturday we men

lioned that fche six roomed dwelling of Mr Henry Flewellyn, afc Birkenhead, had been burnt to the ground very early that morn ing. It appears that at 2.30 a. m., Mr Flew ellyn was aroused by one of lue.children, who had a cold, being seized with a severe fit of coughing. Upon awaking he found that the room was full of smoke, and on gebting up he saw that the lire was located in the kitchen, where the flames had already burnt a largo hole above the mantelpiece. Seizing a mat from the lloor, ho stullocl it into the aperture with the object of preven ting tho draught, but the mat only added fuel to the flames. Finding that the liro was beyond his control, he and Mr Herbert Slmlders, who had been stay ing at the house, directed their efforts to getting out Mrs Flewellyn and the three children, and in saving some of the furniture. In this they were successful, most of tho furniture being got out of the rooms, as well as a couple of chairs from the kitchen. The rest of the furniture was des troyed. Mr Flewollyn ascribes the out break to a defective chimney, Hawkins holds a mortgage for the house and the farm upon which it was built. The house was insured with the New Zealand Insurance Company for £180 ; the furniture was uninsured. Fire nX fteiuueia Between 8 and 9 o'clock on Saturday night Mr Patrick Gleeson's new villa resi dence of eleven rooms at Victoria Koad, Remuera, was burnt to tho ground. The building was erected out of the dismantled materials of the V.M.C. Association's premises, and was occupied by Mr Ulec son himself until the refusal of the City North Licensing Committee to renew the license of the Albion Hotel to its last lessee obliged Mr Gleeson to take over its management into his own hands. Since then, the villa, with all its furniture, has been in charge of a caretaker, named Jeremiah Sullivan, who has been accus tomed to go home on Saturday afternoons and return again on Monday mornings. The outbreak of fire took place about 8 o'clock on Saturday night, and the alarm was promptly rung out upon tho Newmarket and I'arnell lirebells. Mr George Totty who lives about fifty yards distant from Mr Gleeson's resi dence, was the first to see tho fire and give tho alarm. The entire front of the build ing appeared then to bo in possession of tho flames. They Deemed to havo their focus or source underneath the centre portion of tho verandah, which stands several feet above tho surface of tho ground. All the doors were fastened. The neighbours speedily gathered and exerted themselves to save the furniture, but the liro raged so fiercely that they were only able to get out it few mattresses, etc. Mr Sullivan (care taker) arrived about 10 p.m., but long ere that time the building had been reduced to ashes, along with its contents. The origin of the lire cannot be explained. It is wrapt in mystery. Tho care-taker states that he loft the premises at about ten minutes to four o'clock on Saturday after noon, everything being then safe. The only fire which had been lighted in the house that day was in the kitchen, where he cooked his break-fast and dinner, and this was burnt out and extinguished before ho left in company with W. Nicholson, a carpenter. He made a careful examination to assuro himself that everything was secure. The carpen ter pays that he was working in the house during the duy, engaged in making cup boards in the recesses of certain rooms. He had also received instructions from Mr Gleeson to put a lock on one of the base ment doors, of which there were two. Tho basement is over eight feet in height at tho front, running oil to throe feet at the" back, and was used as a washhouse, laundry, etc., and also contained a large quantity of old timber left over when the house was erected. Mr Nicholson states that he was making the cupboards and a wheelbarrow in tho basement. He had been smok ing in the forenoon, and also in tho afternoon, in ' tho basement, but ho did not throw any matches down,, and thero was no sign of firo when ho and Sullivan left in the cart for town. On the road in, he reminded Sullivan that he had forgotten to lock the basement door. He is unable to account for tho origin of the fire. Mr Gleeson had the house insured with the Colonial Insurance for LI,OOO, and his furniture was insured with the United for- L3OO. Both policies are in full force. J

THE SAMOAN LAND CLAIMS.

Appeal to the Privy Council Quacked.

The great Samoan land case Manaema and others v. William \Mc Arthur and Co., has, we are informed, been finally settled. It will be remembered that the defend ants applied for leave to appeal to the Privy Council against the decision of the High Commissioners' Court in favour of plaintiffs. A private cable mossago received to-day from London runs as follows :—" Appeal utterly quashed, with costs."-

Wellington, this day. The Court awarded £1,100 in the Rhodes compensation case for land taken by the Government. Judge Richmond this morn ing suspended the discharge of three bank rupts for three months, not for any particu lar default, but, as he said, to discounten ance debtors rushing into the Bankruptcy Court. . Waters's discharge was opposed by the creditors on a large number of grounds. In examination he admitted owing the Northern Land Company about L 3,500 for which they had received no value. This was compromised, but he did not furnish a shilling of money. He also owed the City Advance Company about £1,500. r The examination on the latter point was'not passed because it was hinted that a case might .arise out of it in another court.
