Homeless In Hull, Ontario.

over twenty five Hundred People Rendered
Homeless In HuII, Ontario.
Tuesday afternoon a fire swept over
wards Nc. and 8, of the city OF Hull, op-
poslte Ottawa, destroying between 800 and
45O houses and rendering over 2, 500 per.
sons homeless. Six or seven blocks are
now smou!dering mass OF ruinp.
The fire broke out In tho City hall, situ.
ated in the centre OF the most pOpulous
portion OF the city, and the raging wind
served to spread the flames with remarks-
BILE rapidity. The fire brigade was on the
SPOT almost immediately, but the fire ap.
plances were miserably insufficient and
the water pressure was very low. The
building was soon a mass OF II smes and the
wind hurled the burning embers eastward
across tho square into long block Of
wooden houses, which took fire at once.
The fire then swept everything before 1t,
spreading farther east and also extending
northeast about three blocks, and literally
burnt itself out hall mile from where 1t
started. The area 1t traversed extended
from City Hall square to McRae's dock,
outside the city limits. Tuesday night
hundreds OF families camped In the open
air without shelter of any kind. Prompt
measures for their relief have been taken.
The loss may bs $500 600, and possibly II
will reach $500 600. The insurance Will not
reach one fifth OF the amount OF loss. The
principal buildings burned, apart from
fifteen or twenty stores ana shops, were
the City hall, the Catholic church, a stone
structure worth $l60 600 a three story
presbytery, and a convent. The origin Of
the lire 10 unknown.
