PRINTING WORKS GUTTED

WELLINGTON, March 3. A fire gutted Wright and Carman's printing office, Featherston street, this evening, though the machinery room was less seriously damaged by fire than by water. The outbreak is supposed to have occurred through the upsetting of a kerosene lamp used for making tea. The plant and stock were insured for £1800 in the Norwich Union, Standard and Phoenix Offices, aud the building for £300 in. the New Zealand Office.
