Inc Quebec Fire-Oac Tnnussna
FAMILIES Hos0essss.
QUEBEC, June th.-One Of those
destructive fires TO which Quebec
is SO subject broke out at II P. NJ.
in the midst of the ST.. Johns
suburbs, midway between st.
Roche's and Upper Town. The fire
originated in q small wooden house
in Oliver street and Immediately
spread to adjoining buildings. The
fire brigade became demoralized
and lost all control Of them selves
and at 2 o'clock this morning, st.
Johns Church, Roman Catholic
| Church. the largest In the city,
worth 100000, was burning and
six hundred houses had been de.
stroyed, some Of brick and stone,
but the majority poor and small
and of wood. The loss so far muet
be over three quarters of million.
Certainly one thousand families
are homeless. The fire Is still
sweeping. No loss of life is report.
ed yet but several persons are
missi. e. The hOuseless camped
out In the fields surrounding the
city. Thieves made of with most
of the property saved from the
flames and the fire overlook nearly
all the remaining movables. Half
the people in town blockade the
streets and the firemen are impeded.
Panic prevails. Burning sparks
and shingles are falling all over
the city and its total sweeping out
Of existence Ia by no means inn
probable. A number of local insur-
ance cuHlnanies seem to be para
lyzed by this disaster. The princi-
pal streets dsstl 'yed are Richmond,
Latonville, Oliver, Richelieu and
Daguillon, running west and par.
allel with the river; also, st. Johns
street, Marie, Deligny, st. Clair
and Sutherland, running north and
south. Richmond, LatOnville and
st. Oliver were principally inhab.
tied by demi-mo nde. In many in.
stances the parties burned out
owned their residences. The fire
brigade is miserabIy inadequate to
the wants Of the city and the water
supply ridiculously small for such
an emergency.
