ST. JOHN, N, b.. Sept. o.
Shortly before O'Clock this morning n
block between King square and Union
street, and Sidney and Charlotte streets,
took fire The whole area was covered
with low wooden buildings, The buildings
facing the street beng nearly all of tn e
same material and from two to three
stories in height. Several produce, liquor
grocery and general supply stores We're
in the lower story of nearly all the street
buildings while those in the centre were
chiefly occupied as stables, and contained
hay, straw and other combustible material
Many of the stores contained from five to
fifteen casks of kerosene each, while the
liquor establishments were stocked with
equally dangerous agents. The three
steam engines OF the city We're OF no use,
aud the whole block, with the exception
of the buildings on Sidney street, and four
or five others on Charlotte street, was
consumed. One man barely escaped with
his life from the Fountain House, He
got from the dormer- window on the roof,
passed down to the cave, and over it to
the thrd-story window, where he cut an
artery OF his right wrist, and while suffer-
ing GREAT loss of blood was taken from
his perilouS position by men on a ladder.
The total loss by the fire is estimated ut
