PART OF CITY in ASHES
SIXTY BUILDINGS AT SYDNEY, y. s.,
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
General COnfiagration Averted by a
Burned-Fires at other Places.

HALIFAX, y. s., Oct. 1s.-The prosper
Gus and thriving town of Sydney was al
most swept out of existence to-day by a
fierce fire which started about 2 O'Clock.
The flames, which were famed by a forty
fiVe-mie gale swept through the principal
business portion of the town. causing ruin
and devastation. Four blocks OF the finest
business buildings are in ashes. The only
thing that saved the city from destruction
was a heavy rainstorm, which set in after
dark and, the wind decreased in fury,
the fremen and hundreds of miners sue
ceeded in getting the fire under control
over sixty buildings are I'm ashes and many
more are badly scorched. The buildings
were nearly all large wooden structures and
they burned so fiercely that it was impos-
sibe to save any of their contents. The
miners resOrted to the use of dynamite and
several buildings were blown up, with but
little effect, as the strong wind carried the
burning embers to other buildings. AT I
o'clock the fire had reached the east end
Of Charlotte street and here it's progress
was stayed.
The fire is supposed to have been started
by the bursting of an oil stove. 1t is I'M
possible to estimate the loss at present, but
ii is roughly placed at between 100000 and
$5GO,OOO, of which not more than half is
covered by insurance.
