One of the Greatest Fires In the
History OF the Quebec Capital
City Occurs.
One Whole Square OF Business Bald
ings, Besides Many Others Burned
to the Ground.
No Estimate OF the Loss Yet Given,
But 1t Will Be Enormous.
Casualties.

MONTREAL, July 15.-The greatest
confiagration Montreal has witnessed
for years is in progress here. Begin
ming shortly before midnight it still
RACES with fury, and as yet shows no
signs of being controlled. Already the
entire square bounded by Papinal road,
st. Catherine street, Shaw street and
HJosephat lane has been destroyed or
in flames. The flames are rapidly
spreading to blocks of brick dwellings
and stores on the south and east, with
out possibility of guessing where the
FIRE will be stopped. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of property
has been consumed, but owing TO the
intense heat it is impossible to get
near enough to it to obtain correct de-
tails as to losses or insuraEces. The
fire started in the great lumber
yard of Prefontaine, Brosseau 81 Co.,
and spread with tremendous rapidity.
At first the high wind fpread the flames
over ST. Bridget's and st. Luke's
churches on Champlain street, and to
the immense French lyiug-in hospital
Only the change of wind saved these
structures and possible fatalities had
they burned. Never has the fire depart
ment worked SO hard as at this FIRE.
Men lay In the streets while comrades
played water ON them to save them from
burning to death. Several of these men
are seriously burned, and it seems al
most impossible that the fire should end
without fatalities. A Mrs. Tott, on
Shaw street, was i'll in bed, and to re
move her, so intense was the heat, sew
eral men narrowly escaped with thei,
lives.
Twenty More Buildings Burned. -
The flames, aided by high wind
spread to the opposite side OF the streets
named, and q score or more of stores
dwellings, restaurants and boarding
houses were burned, together with
| greater part of their contents. The los

CAMPBELL HOLDS TRuMPs.

The Ohio Governor Still Has the Best OF
the Fight-The silver Question.
CLEVELAND, o., july 15.-There have
been no changes in the political situa-
tion for twenty-four hours. Governor
Campbell still holds the winning cards,
and the opposition now despairing Of
being able to carry out its plans for
stampeding the convention is contenting
itself with declaring that it win play its
trumps at the polls next November.
Although most of the district delega-
tions are ON the ground, the anti
Campbellites do not seem to have gained
any strength, while quite number of
uninstructed delegations who have been
regarded as on the fence have declared
in favor Of the governors re-nonina~
tion. Campbell and Allan w. Thurman
arrived at noon on special train from
Columbus.
Discussed the silver Question.
An important conference was held in
the rooms of Congressman-elect Harter
at the Hollenden. The money question
was discussed with view of reaching
an understanding on the silver issue.
Mr.. Harter, as is well known, is opposed
to free coinage and wants the conyen-
tion to occupy conservative ground in
the silver or financial plank Of the plat
form. The other gentlemen are for
free coinage, bat there is q manifest
disposition to occupy position on the
question that will not be an embarrass
ment to the party in 1892, after the
national convention shall have enun-
ciated the doctrine of the Democracy on
this important point. No definite de.
cision was reached and the matter vii
be bone of contention in the commit
tee on resolutions. easesSt

ing any campaign. For the remainde.

The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-11-08

The real-estate market for the past week has
been one of medium activity. Though some
agents made several good transactions, the
majority consummated but few sales. These
were generally in the nature of small dwell
ings. There was little or no investments for
speculative purposes and the sales outside of
the resident and business sections were not
numerous. The same conditions which pre-
vailed the week previous to influence the
market, statement OF which appeared in the
last issue of the HERALD, still have control,
and 1t is believed that owing to the lateness of
the season, there will be no marked activity
until the spring boom sets In about the 1st of
February. Some unforeseen circumstance or
an open winter may, however, keep the market
active throughout the winter.
For this season of the year the building op-
erations for the week under review were above
the average and though not equal in value to
those Of the week before. were very encour-
aging to the interests Of the city. During the
week there were issued fifteen permits for the
erection of twenty-seven separate buildings
aggregating in cost $4,000. or these permits
only one was issued for dwelling In the north
west section, which is to cost $500. In the
southwest section permits were issued for six
buildings, to cost 900; in the northeast
section seven buildings, to cost $40, 200; in the
southeast section three buildings, TO cost
S10,700 and in the county ten buildings, to
cost S27. .0f0
