DESTROYED BY FIRE
WHITE ROCK HOMESTEAD. CARTERTON, This Day. A fire at 12.45 o’clock on Wednesday morning completely demolished the large homestead and men’s quarters at White Rock Station, the property of Air. W. Barton, of Featherston, who was in Wellington at the time. The men on the station escaped with their clothes only. They made frenzied efforts to stem the outbreak but without avail. The buildings were of wood, and mostly heart of totara, and about 70 years old. . Air. Barton will be a heavy loser. Details of the insurances are not available.—(P.A.)
