OTTAWA, June 5.
Fire swept over wards aud of the city
of Hull, opposite Ottawa this afternoon des
troying between 800 and 450 houses and rem
dering over $500 pefsons homeless. Six or
seven blocks are in ruins. The fire broke
out about 3 45 in the city hall, in the centre
of the most populous portion of the city. The
fire appliances was mserably insufficient and
the water pressure very low. The building
was soon mass of flames AMI the wind
hurled the burning embers eastward across
the square into a block of long wooden
houses which took fire at once.
The fire then swept everything before it,
spreading farther east and also extending
northeast about three blocks. II literally
burned itself out about half mile from
here it started.
Tonight hundreds of families are camped
in the open air without shelter. Prompt
measures for their relief we're taken. The
loss may be S50O,000, possibly $500, 900.
The insurance is not one-ffih of the loss.
The principal buildings burned. apart from
fifteen or twenty stores and shops, were City
| Hall, the Catholic church, a stone structure
worth SlGO, 900, and the three story stone
presbytery and convent. The origin of the
| fire il unknown.
| All the dwellings burned were miserable
shanties or cottages, principally occupied BY
mill hands. In almos, every instance the
occupants barely escaped with their lives.
