FIRE - On Sunday night of Monday morning, a wooden house, used as a store at the Stonehouse Shale Oil Works, situated at Slayholm, and belonging to Mr. M'Naughton, railway contractor, was destroyed by fire. Th origin of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have been caused by some cinders falling from the fire-place to the floor. There was a considerable quantity of workman's tools in the place, which were burned. The damage is estimated from £30 to £40.
