possible to describe the spread of the flames
on every side, and it will, perhaps, be more
satisfactory to give an idea OF the
boundaries of the burned district. The only
thing that the fireman succeeded in doing was
to curb the fire east of st. Genevieve street,
and here, in fact, the wind was blowing from
the east and northeast. From Latourelle
street up nearly to John street, the wester-
ly side of street st. Genevieve has been swept
away To the north the fire extends as far as
Richmond street.
The western limit is little beyond the
street car stables at Mount Pleasant, near the
city boundary. The limit south is at Burton,
near Scott, and Gabriel street has already been
mentioned briefly.
SUMMED UP.
| The streets consumed are, running east and
west, principally the south side. Latourelle,
st. Oliver, Richelieu, Daquillon and st. Johns,
Ward and Montcalm, St. Gabriel, Newell and
Breton. Running north and south,
the principal streets were Souther
rland, Deligny, st. Claire, st. Marie
and st. Genevieve, west side, beside
Jupiter street, in Montcalm ward also the

order. Several remarkable whirlwinds were
caused by the fire. Men were in some cases
lifted off their feet. On the lower field where
most of the burnt out people had camped
with their saved goods, the fire followed I'M
fortunates and burnt up most of the goods
piled on the grass. Burning shingles fell over
the city and as far out as Maple avenue during
the night, endangering every part of the town.

l,500 families are rendered homeless and at
least 500 buildings destroyed. 1t is impossible
to give full and correct list of the sufferers
and losses and insurance at this moment, but
all the insurance companies doing business in
the city are heavy losers. The fire brigade and
apparatus was quite unfit to cope with such
fire, and to its weakness and the wretched
water servic: the whole disaster is due.

Five lives have been losl. Three bodies have
already been recovered, those of Mr.. and Mrs.

The legislative assembly voted $4,000 for re-
lief of suffering. Citizens are holding re-
lief meeting with the mayor tonight. Most
of the sufferers being people in fair circum-

not be large. The approximated losses -

from 100000 to 100000.
