BIG FIRE IN LONDON, ONT.
A Boys Carelcssmess Causes $500, ,O06
Damage.

Damage.
London, Ontario, Jan. 9.-One of the
most disastrous fires in the history of
this city, and one which almost result
ed in loss OF life, occurred to-day in the
immense plant of the McClary Manu-
featuring company. About O'Clock a.
boy working in the stamping depart-
ment, and whose duty it is to put sheet
iron through oil rollers for the purpose
of preventing the sheets from rusting,
struck match to light the gas. He
dropped the burning match and it fell
into the vat Of oil. With a report like
cannon the oil went up in a sheet of
flame and spread on the ceiling of the
room on the first floor The employees
rushed from the building in panic. In
| this portion Of the works were. located
the stamping room, with one hundred
presses; the tinsnith department, the
| iapannng department, the artists de-
partment and the wrapping rooms,
where the tinware is made ready for
marke.
About five hundred men, women and
boys were in the building. There was
a rush for the elevator and the stairs,
and in terrible crush, scorched and
smoke begrimed, they reached the
street, hatless and coatless, but none
seriously injured.
The fire burned furiously for hours,
the firemen being unable to cope with
the flames. The hydrants were frozen
and when the water was finally obtain
ed the pressure would not throw the
streams fifty feet. The fire burnt itself
out.
The net results Of the fire are: Three
hundred men out of employment and a
loss of 100000. Some Of the best ma
chinery Of the kind in Canada is de-
stroyed, the McClary firm being prac-
tically the only stamping firm in the
Dominion and also one Of the largest In
America.

WAsHINGToN,s COAL SHORTAGE.
Continuance of Investigation by Son-

Continuance of Investigation by Sem
ate Committee.
washington, Jan. 9.-The senate COM
mittee on the District of Columbia to-
day continued it's investigation into the
shortage of the coal supply In Wash
ington, hearing Joseph zeh, local deal
er, and some of the officers Of the SEN
ate and house of representatives. Mr.
Crawford said that during the past year
there had been a decrease in the guam
tity of anthracite coal brought to
Washington over his line amounting to
30 per cent, but that during the month
of November and December, there had
been an increase over the normal re-
ceipts. He said there had been no in
crease in freight rates from the mines.
Mr.. Zeh said that it is much easier to
secure coal from the Independent COM
panies than from the mines owned by
the railroad companies, and in this con-
nection an effort was made to show that
the large companies Were disposng of
their product through the small ones in
order to keep prices up, but no definite
testimony was secured to this effect.
The fact was brought out that there are
now in the bins of the capitol about 300
tons of coal, but it was stated that
there had been days when there was no
certainty as to whether there would be
sufficient quantity for twenty-four
hours. Charles Weller of the Associat-
ed Charities, of the District of Columbia,
said there had been much suffering
among the poor on account Of coal scar

Storm In Fort Mill.
A terrific wind storm passed over
the northern part Of Fort Mill township
last Monday afternoon at about l
o'clock, doing very considerable dam
age. The store house, residence, barn
and orchard Of Mr.. c. B. Kimbrell suf-
fered heavily, the damage to the store
being the greatest. The roof of the
store was blown off and 1t fell
downward. Mr.. Kimbrell was In the
building at the time and was knock
ed down; but was saved from being
crushed to death on account OF the
counter, which broke the further de-
scent Of the roof toward the floor. AL
though it has been practicable to Sc
cure only meagre details, it Is under
stood here that nobody was seriously
hurt.
Good For Greenwood.
Rev. w. G. Neville received the fol-
lowing telegram Monday night signed
"R. P. Blake" announcing the result
Of the dispensary election held In
Greenwood during the day: York
willie literature knocked dispensary out
one-hundred- -thirty-seven majority"
The meaning Of the telegram Is that
during the long drawn fight on the
subject in Greenwood there were nu-
merous calls on Yorkville for aid. At
the request Of Greenwood people, Rev.
w. G. Neville sent copies Of the pow
erful sermon he delivered In Yorkville
shortly before the election here, and
Messrs. w. r. Carroll, Sam. M. Grist,
J. S. Brice, T. F. McDow and others
gave testimony as to the workings OF
the dispensary in Yorkville since its
establishment. The Greenwood people
were honestly trying to do the right
thing and the letter Of Senator Brice,
which was, published there last Satur-
day must have had powerful effect.
