Lahman's Excelsior wine vaults had a narrow escape from destruction this morning. The fire was discovered at 0,20 by a workman passing along the stree';. It was extinguished without much difficulty. From the appearances inside the building there is no doubt that it was the work of an incendiary, as a pile of wood was discovered alongside a partition whero the fire originated, but there is no clue to the perpetrator. The stock was iusured for £150 in the Phoenix. An enquiry will be held.

A scheme for insuring the buildings themselves is now under consideration. AUCKLAND, To-day. On Saturday Mr P. Gleeson's house at Remuera was burnt.
