Gilmore Chemical and Soap Works, Mon.

Warehouse Adjoining Badly Damaged
MONTREAL, Oct. IA big fire is rag
ing here. 1t began at 1:30 p. m., in
Gilmore Bros. & Co.. place of business
at 81 st. Peters street. Their stock is
in part made up of chemicals and soap,
manufactured on the premises. This
material, catching fire, caused the
flames to spread rapidly. The flames
communicated on one side to Kearney
Bros tea warehouse and on the other
to the car factory of B. Goldstein & Co.
1t is reported that l6 men are en-.
tombed under the falling roof of the
Gilmore building. OF this number
only five have been taken out. 1t is
feared that some of the others are
dead. The fire at 8 p. m. was under
control.
1t is not yet possible to verify the report
that 16 men were in the loft that went
down, and possibly another day will be
reached before the possible missing are
definitely accounted for. The fire is
attributed to the combustible nature
of the stock handled in the building
and once under way the blaze spread
rapidly. Three dead firemen have been
taken from the ruins thus far.
For the first 90 minutes of the fire
explosion after explosion occurred
among the chemicals in the Gilmore
building. The loss will reach $50, 600.
The buildings are all owned by the
Gray Nuns and are insured.

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 19.--The Amer
lean line steamer Paris, Capt. Watkins,
from New York, October 8, before re-
ported as proceeding with her star
board engine disabled, arrived here

broke in the tube about fifty feet from
the propeller. The vessel was at once
stopped, and after an examination, it
was decided to proceed for Southamp-

Over Million Pounds of 1t Sold In Eng
land in the Early Fall.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-United States
Consul Meeker, at Bradford, reports
to the state department that over L.
000,00 pounds of American wool was
sold in England early in the fall at an
average price of nine cents per pound,
and these sales would have continued,
except for the advance in freight rates
and sitter prices at home, SO that there
are still large amounts held for sale in
England waiting higher prices. Com
plant is made of the quality of this
wool, which is of the short merino
type, and the dealers com plain that
the Boston shippers selected the very
worst they had to send over. In one
lot there were 7s pieces waste, and
British merchants strongly advise
American wool buyers, if they hope to
keep place in the British market, to
educate wool growers, through agri-
cultural papers, so they may bring
their wool to market in better condi-
ton.
