1863, and the 100000 mark was passed
IN 1879. in 1851, exactly coincident
with the opening of a new and much
larger lock. the northwest began to

been in operation. one of them on the
Canadian side of the river, and in this

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Gale Bros. Sustain a Loss OF Several
Thousand Dollars.
Fir~men Handicapped by Poor Water
Supply-$4 200 Insurance
on Stock and Building.

The grain and feed store of Dale
Bros, situated just south of the rail
road at the intersection of Main and
Garden streets, was the scene of very
destructive fire Thursday night The
blaze was discovered shortly before 10
o clock, having started, it is presumed
from defective fue.
The fire was an exceedingly difficult
one to handle. as the building was
covered with tin. with sheet iron sides,
and was filled with a large quantity
of infiammable material The. firemen
were also handicapped by the poor
water supply. the pressure being so
weak that it would throw a stream
hardly twenty feet high. About II
O. clock, however-after the blaze had
done its work-a good stream was
obtained. 1t will be remembered that
when the pump factory was destroyed
several years ago, there was very
poor water supply on this same main,
and resulted in a big damage suit
against the Water & Light Company.
The loss incurred by Dale Bros. is quite
severe, as they had in the building
about 2, 500 bushels of wheat, besides
a large quantity of hay. seed oats,
clover seed, corn, etc. They carried
insurance to the amount of $4,000 with
Gordon q fowler, agents. 81, 500 being
in the Western of Toronto, and 81, 500
in the Citizens of New York. Their
stock was almost totally ruined, and
the insurance will not near cover the
loss. The building was the property
Of Mrs. W. j. Dale, and was insured
for S1 200 in the New York TTndar-
writers, with Gordon & fowler, Agents

CHICKAMAUGA

Selected as Site for One of the
k-rmy Camps.
A dispatch from Washington says
the Secretary of War has announced
that the army camp site board had
recommended that Chicamauga Park
be selected as one of the four great
camps of instruction for the use of
regular and State troops
The report adds: 1T is expected the
report of the board in favor of Chica
manga Park will receive the Con
gressional sanction, which under the
terms of the bill is necessary. The
report of the board will probably be
made public by the secretary within a
few days. One strong faction leading
to the selection of Chicamauga Park is
that it is already Government reser-
walton, and in the opinion of the board
the purchase of additional space from
private parties will not be required. "
