FIREMAN LOSES HIS LIFE IN
FIGHT THAT LASTS OVER
THREE HOURS.

which resulted in the death OF one
fireman, a monetary loss estimated at
two million dollars and the destruc-

Jackson streets, at s o clock last night.
The district burned over lies in the
center of the business portion of the
city, and among the buildings were
several Of the most substantial struc-
lures in the city. In these buildings
were located many stores, several
wholesale establishments and three
national banks. Its origin is in doubt
A large number of Christmas shop
pers crowded the Pelletier and other
stores, and it was with difficulty thai
all managed to escape from the burn
ing building. The flames enveloped
much Of the building before the fire
department arrived, and was
Quite Beyond Control.
For three hours and half, until they
had gotten beyond range of the large
buildings, the flames carried every
thing in their path Both telegraph
companies were put out of business by
reason of their wires all being burned
out and the office of the Western
Union was destroyed. Although a
great number of telephone circuits
We're within the district, long distance
circuits We're later established with
outside points.
The fire was gotten under control at

outside departments.
The burne< buildings include three
banks, the Western Union telegraph
office, the Leader hotel, the West ho-
tel, Hignian & Skinner, wholesale
boots and shoes, and large number
of small establishments.

pany the Russian fleet. the captain
said: Tell them we are waiting for
them. II you find them we will en-
