Big FIRE in HALIFAX
LOSS OF 100000 CAUSED AND Sew
ERAL FIREMEN INJURED.
Heart of the Business District Threat
ened with Observation-Disclosures
City Hall Barely Saved.

HALIFAX, n. s., Feb. 2S.-A tremendous
fire, famed by fierce wind, threatened the
business district of Halifax with destruc-
ton for several hours tonight. Property to
the value of $500 900 was destroyed and three
of the firemen were seriously injured by
the collapse of ladder on which they were
standing. :.
The fire started in the starch room of the
biscuit and confectionery. works of Moir,
Son & Co., opposite the City Hall and pub
lie library. The employees had just LEFT the
building general alarm called the entire
fire-fghting force of the city to the central
district. In addition garrisons were turned
out as fire-fighting and patrol force, the
Royal Engineers manning their own ap-
paratus and preparing for the use of dy-
Mantle on buildings should the fire have
been beyond control. Appeals for help were
also sent by the mayor to neighboring
places.
The high wind drove the flames east and
north. All the buildings opposite the Mor
building, on Duke street, were consumed.
The west end OF the City Hall next ig
nited, despite the fire departments great
est efforts to save this splendid building.
A desperate fight with the advancing flames
took place at this point and the fremen
won. The fire in the City Hall was con-
fined to the upper story OF the west end.
where the public library was situated The
library was considerably damaged.
In the meantime. the wind having shift
ed. the fire began to spread south along
Argyle street. and before it was checked
all but two buildings In this block were
consumed Moir's immense factory, cover
ing almost a block, had become roaring
furnace and all approach was prevented
This was on account of falling walls. A
heavy fall of rain accompanied the gale and
this fact no doubt prevented the outbreak
of incipient fires.
The fire occurred at the heart of the city
At one time the danger OF conf1agration
was so great that the Royal Engineers
pulled down certain buildings and this op-
Grafton was so successful that four hours
after the fire started II was declared under
control
The insurance carried by the firms burned
out amounts to $l15,OO.
