PRICELESS COLLECTION BURNS.
Fire Destroys Medical Building and
 Museum mt McGfl1.

Montreal, April 16-A second disas- trous fire within two weeks visited Mo Gill University at an early hour today and practically destroyed the medical building, one of the oldest nnd most valuable of the splendid collection on the college grounds.
 An addition to the usual equipment of college medical building the mu- scum one of the best on the continent was destroyed.S .SThe loss cannot be con- sidered in money value. as the museum has been collecting for nearly three quarters of a century and contained many absolutely priceless specimens. The magnificent medical library. how ever was saved.
 Immediately after the disastrous fire which wiped out the engineer build ing the University authorities, it is un- derstood placed a half million dollars of extra insurance on the whole plant The medical building will share in this, but 1t Is doubtful whether the insur- ance will cover one half of the actual damage. The buildings were erected at a cost of about $350,000. The col lections which they contained are prac- tically beyond all estimate as to value.
 Dr. F. J. Shepherd stated that the fire had destroyed his anatomical col lection. This collection was famous throughout America.

News was received here today that a fire yesterday destroyed the saw mill of E. E. Cochran, at Shades, on the Southern Railway between this city and Mobile. The amount of damage which the fire caused could not be learped. but it was stated that the en- tire plant was destroyed and 1t is esti- mated that the loss will be about $5, 900, which Is not covered by insurance
 The fire Is supposed to have originat- ed by spark falling in a pile of shaw ings near the mill. From these shay ings the building caught and the flames spread rapidly over and quickly de- stroyed the plant A large quantity of lumber which was stacked close by was saved by the hard work of the mill hands.
