Fire in Neame's Chemist (1880)

DUNEDIN. Sept 16.
A fire occurred at Caversham last night, and totally destroyed a ten-roomed house which was occupied by Neame, chemist, McIntosh, dealer, and two other families. The fire started in Neame's shop, from which nothing was saved. A good deal was saved from Mclntosh's. Neame is insured for £250 in the National, and Mclntosh in the South British for £50. The building belonged to Hocken and Hardy, and insured in the Standard for £500, and New Zealand for £200. A fire occurred at Neame's a few months ago.
Sept 17.
The fire at Caversham is supposed to have originated through the bursting of a kerosene lamp, Neame estimates his loss at £500. Mr Murray, M.H.R. for Bruce, addressed his constituents at Milton, and received an unanimous vote of thanks.
