GREAT FIRE AT GRANTHAM. —On Wednesday
morning a most destructive fire occurred at the Grantham
Exchange,the entire building, as well as a moving diorama
belonging to M. Gompertz (which was exhibiting there at
the time, and valued at £2,000), being entirely destroyed.
When the exhibition closed on Tuesday evening all was
safe, but the next morning, about half-past 2, as Police-
constable Morris was passing along Swinegate, he perceived
a column of smoke issuing from the building. He at once
gave an alarm, and in a very short time afterwards the
flames burst forth from the ventilator at the top of the
edifice. A quantity of hose was procured as speedily as
possible and attached to hydrants, but the supply of water
was soon exhausted and the fire sprCad rapidly. A chain of
helpers was then arranged to the conduit in the market-
place, whence water was passed in buckets to the engines
near the scene of the conflagration. By 5 o'clock the flames
were pretty well got under, but the firemen continued play-
ing on the smouldering ruins until nearly 8 o'clock. The
damage sustained is estimated at £3,000. The building was
insured in the Midland Counties Fire .office. The origin of
the fire is not known.
