The Fire at the Point Breeze Gas Works =
The FLAMES Still Raging.

This morning the destructive fire at the Point
Breeze Gas Works, the particulars of which are
published above, was still raging, and two more
steamers were telegraphed tor. There is no
danger of the fire spreading any further. From
$500 to 5000 tons of coal in the north shed were
still burning this morning, Notwithstanding the
immense volumes of water that were being
thrown thereon by the steam engines. Work
men were engaged in hauling the burning mass
away from the sheds, as it was thought that the
flames could only be sudued by scattering the
coal.
The value of the coal is estimated at twelve
dollars per ton, and the stock destroyed at about
fifteen thousand dollars, thus making the total
loss at least fifty thousand dollars. We were
unable to learn whether there was any insurance
on the material aud sheds that are consumed.
From all that we could gather we are induced to
believe that there was not one dollar OF 1nsur-
ance on the property.
The origin of the fire at the laboratory, on
line northIofthe Gas Works property, is involved
in considerable mystery. The fire was first dis
covered about o'clock last night. A watchman
living in a small frame structure q short dis
tance from the laboratory heard loud explo-
sion, and, jumping up, discovered the whole
structure on fire. II was a three-story brick,
with gravel root, and belonged to j. Dundas Lip
pincott.
The building was completely gutted out, and
the loss is estimated at $2500, upon which there
is no insurance 1t was occupied by Henry
