FIRE AT NEW PLYMOUTH.
STOCK OF SOFT GOODS RUINED. (by TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) NEW PLYMOUTH, March 8. A tire caused structural damage and almost entirely ruined the stock of' the New Plyouth Soft Goods Company at six o’clock this evening. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as the premises had been closed only a short while, and everything appeared; safe when they were locked up, Three leads of hose extinguished the fire in about twenty minutes. The company carries stocks of ladies’ wear, the flimsiness of which makes it highly inflammable. The building, which was saved from total destruction by concrete and brick walls, was owned by G. R. Colson and insured in the South British for £I2OO. The .insurances on the stock are not available.
