The Worst COnfagration In That City
Since It's Almost Total Destruction
Twenty-Five Years Ago.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 22.-Not
since Vancouver was destroyed by fire
in 1876 has there been such a conf1a-
grafton as took place early yesterday
morning. The fire started in one of
the buildings on Stimson's wharf and
soon assumed disastrous proportions
The outbreak was discovered by the men
discharging coal from the steamer J.
L. Card at the Union Steamship Co. S
wharf adjoining. They quietly gave
The alarm and the j. l.. Card blew her
whistle. Other whistles and alarms
joined in and soon the whole town was
aroused.
The entire fire brigade of the city
was quickly on the ground, but the fire
had obtained SO firm hold, and it
burned SO fast and furiousIy, that it
was soon seen that the buildings on
Stimson's wharf were doomed. A num-
ber of Canadian Pacific cars filed with
freight, standing, on sidings, soon oe-
came prey to the flames. The fire
jumped to the New England Fish Co. s
buildings, the bait shed and the roof of
the packing shed being soon aflame.
The fremen turned their whole at
tention to this building, and after an
hours hard work succeeded in getting
the fire under control.
The burning mass covered an area of
wharf of about $50 feet by 70 feet. No
estimate of the damage has vet been
made.
