Toronto. Ont. April 20.-The total
,oss bv the fire. which destroyed the
Wholesale district of Toronto last night
will according to the most conservative
estimates, reach $12,OOO,OOO: the total
insurance is $S.360.OO0.
The area swept by the fire embraced
fourteen acres and 5000 to 1000 persons
are thrown out of employment.
The work Of tearing down the dam
gerous walls was begun this afternoon.
In the whole burned district the only
walls that appear to stand intact are
those of the w. r. Brock & Co. build
ing.
The City Council this afternoon
nIaced all public buildings and the ex-
bibition grounds at the disposal of the
fire sufferers: amended the fire regu-
Iations to allow of the erection OF tenn
porary structures. and appointed a
committee to wait on the Legislature
and secure an act ordering all wires
underground.

Man Is stiII Missing.
Despite the crashing of walls and the
confusion only one serious accident oc-
Cured. At an early stage Of the fire
Chief Thompson got trapped by the
flames and was forced to jump from
the top Of a building. A network OF
wires broke his fall and saved his
life He escaped with a broken leg.
When the chief made the leap for
his life a traveller from Montreal was
on the roof with him and no trace
of him has been seen since. 1t is
probable that he persisted in the flames

flagration of the night. The flames
shooting hundreds of feet into the all

and cinders on every side, continued
north on Bay street until a complete
circle of fire had formed around the
Brock building, over which the flames
had hudded in their first dash south
