of considerable importance on the Straits
of Northumberland, was wiped out by fire
to-day. 200 dwellings, five churches twenty
stores, three hotels and several mills being
destroyed. The fire started in a business
block, through lamp exploding in a
high wind, and the complete absence of
water supply Of fire fighting apparatus
soon carried the flames beyond control.
With few exceptions the buildings were
wooden, and a large section Of the town
was closely built.
The fire swept through whole blocks with
lightnirg-like rapidity and people lied for
their lives, losing everything. The foreign
shipping in port was slightly damaged.
The town was little insured owing TO the
absence Of fire protection. The inhabitants
are now encamped in the fields and woods.
Several people are reported missing. but it
is impossible yet to tell who. If any, per-
ished. Relief Is being organized In every
direction.
