FIRE. COLONIAL IRONWORK. FOOLISH RIFLEMEN. [Pjeb Peibs Association.] AUCKLAND, Oct. 26. A ten-roomed house in Nelson street, owned by Mr P. Gleeson, and occupied by Mr Macdonald, engineer, was destroyed by fire this morning. The Arch Hill Ironworks have completed an iron tower, 30ffc high, for the Cuvier Island lighthouse. It is in three - tiers, and its aggregate weight exceeds eighty tons. This is the first work of the kind executed in the Colony, and is highly creditable to the local foundry industry. It has been completed in four months — one month under the contract time— to the entire satisfaction of the Government Inspector of Works. Henry Casey and Joseph Fairweather pleaded " Guilty," in the Police Court to-day, to firing at a kerosene tin on the Surrey Hills Estate* and were fined £1 each and costs.
