NEW WESTMINSTER, Feb. 16.-ESpecial.] !
Yesterdays destructive fire turns out to
have been caused by live coal in an ashbox
in room in the rear of Stirsky's jewelry
store. When first discovered by Constable
Miller, he could have put it out with .
couple of pals Of water, but water was not
obtainable at the moment. and this in
cipient blaze turned out to be the largest
and most destructive fire ever seen in New
Westminster. Just about whole block Of
business houses has been wiped out Of
existence, entailing . total loss close
on to $250,000. The Masonic and Odd
Fellows block, one of the finest buildings
in the province, is complete wreck, and
the front wall, which stood through the
fire, had to be pulled down today, owing
to its dangerous condition.
The explosion in the rear Of Traps
hardware store was caused by the firing Of
several barrels of turpentine. The shock
was tremendous and broke the glass in all
the buildings for several blocks about. In
the Secular Armstrong block alone 81 900
worth of plate glass was smashed. The
shock was felt and heard fifteen miles
away, and at Ladner's landing it
was thought to be an earth
quake. The Masons, Odd Fellows
Foresters, Knights of Pythias and Sons of
England lost all their valuable parapher-

law library was consumed. The fire con-
tinued to shoulder all day and the fire.
men were on duty until this morning in
case of another outbreak. The wreck from
the American hotel to the Masonic and
Odd Fellows block was complete, and
never in the history of Westminster did
our principal thoroughfare look 50 COM
plctely demoralized and desolate.
Fireman Mckinnon, who escaped death
SO miraculously, receiving as he did the
full force of the great wall, is still alive
and win recover If no internal injuries
develop. All the bones in the left leg were
broken, the right leg broken, his ankle dis
located and his head terribly injured. The
Masonic block will be rebuilt Immediately,
