At about 3 a.m. yesterday a fire broke out Cochrane Street. The ire Brigade were in the cocklott'of a joss-paper shop, No. 15, soon on the spot, and succeeded in confining the flames to the building, which was nearly gutted, and the contents of the shop wholly destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown, no doubt the usual upsettal of a lamp. The shop was insured with the Northern Assurance Ca., one of the sufferers by the previous fire.
