tories, mills, stores and other buildings
destroyed, cntailing . loss estimated at
between fifteen million dollars and
twenty million dollars, AMI between

but church and a few houses beyond 1t.
In this city 1t Is estimated that besides
the mills. factories, etc. burned, fifteen
hundred residences were destroyed. The
total insurance is estimated at two mil

seen that the fire was almost Gel tain to
be a large one. BY half past eleven there

the entire street with dozens OF cross
streets was burned. Practically there Is
not q house left In the street. About this
time, the fire made . jump Of nearly

The city Of Hull has been burning since
noon today and all that remains ct the
present time is a small corner in the
east emo of the city, and before long 1t
toe, will be In ashes. There are q few
houses standing In the suburbs of the
burned city. Hull has 9 population OF
about IL. 600 people and more than hal,
OF them are homeless tonight. The en-
tire business part of the city, including
the court house, post office end public
buildings and newspaper offices, Is one
mass Of ruins,
The population Is almost entirely COM
posed OF people who work In the m Ills,
or who derive their business from thoss
works. The fire crossed the Ottawa river
In the afternoon, took hold among the
lumbar piles on the brink of the river
aud extended to the lumber yards and
mills. The result ia that ths whole of
that part of Ottawa known as tn Chsu-
diere Flats, surrounding the Canadian
Pacific railway depot. Is fire swept. The
only building standing in the whole
arena Is that Of the OTTAWA Carbine fa.-
tory, which is newly erected and trs
proof. From the flats the fire extended
across the Richmond road on to Rcches-
terville and as far as the experimental
farm. Westerly tho fire took In HuFtnn-
burgh and Msohsnicville, SO that on tt 10
Ottawa side of the river there is a larger
arena covered by the fire than ON the Hull
side. 1t Is estimated that at the present

less than IL. COO and may reach Is, COO.
