RInze Inn a Prison.

TORONTO. Ont, Oct. 4-Fire at the
central prison here this afternoon did near
ly $4,000 worth of damage. 1t started in
the dry kiln of the broom factory, three
story structure, to the west of the main
prison, and the eighty convicts and their
guards working there had barely time to
escape with their lives. 1t quickly spread
to the rope factory to the east and the
lumber plies to the west. The fire in the
rope factory was confined to the cupola,
but the valuable machinery was seriously
damaged by water. The fire was got under
control about o'clock, after reducing the
broom factory to the bare walls and de-
stroying half the lumber in store. The
dustries are covered by insurance, but the
loss to the government on buildings will
be total.
