Two Disastrous Fires There were two serious fires during the heavy rain last night. In one case the Henli medicine store was burnt. The fire began in the upper storey, and the assistants sleeping there jumped from the windows into the street, two being, badly injured and unlikely to live. An older man, who hesitated jump, was overcome by the fumes and burnt to death. The prompt} arrival of the fire-brigade prevent-fed the spread of the fire to the neighbouring shops. The loss is estimated at Tis, 20,000, which is only partially covered by insurance.
In the other case, fire broke out ina shop near the home of the Mayor. In this case, the fire spread rapidly and sixteen shops vere destroyed.
