PARIS GREAT FIRE.
Big new CENTRAL Telephone
IS In Ruins.
Employees Forced to Flee for Their
Lives-Postoff1ce Also in Ruins
Phone Loss Estimated at $4,000, 900
Whole of Paris New System Com
pletely Destroyed.

Paris, Sept. 22.-Fire broke out Mon
day night in the central telephone
building and spread with such rapidity
that the telephone employees were
forced, after brief and Intellectual eff
forts to extinguish the flames, to fee
hastily to the streets. The entire build
ing was soon in flames, and this, to-
gether with the postoffice, which is To-
Gated close to the Place des Victories,
was totally destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated at $5,OOO,OOO, but much greater
loss is likely to be involved through the
complete destruction of all telephone
communication in Paris as we'll as COM
munication, with provinces and abroad
The telephone building was compare
lively new and was fitted with the cost
ly new central battery system. 1t will
take more than a month to reestablish
the service. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, but it is believed to have been
due to short circuit. It is asserted
also that it may have been of incen-
diary origin, but nothing has as yet
been found to prove this.
Operators Driven Out.
Telephone operators, when they first
discovered the flames, tried to extin-
guish them but were forced to desist
owing to the pungent flames from the
burning gutta percha. In a short time
the flames enwrapped the entire five
stories and were bursting through the
roof, leaping skyward like blast fur
mace.
Two hundred operators bravely stood
at their posts and cut off all the cur
rents.
Within 20 minutes the third and
fourth floors were mass of flames and
there was a series of explosions.
The firemen were impeded in their
work by the crowds that the police
were powerless to hold back. Messen,
gers were dispatched for res rves and
troops, who eventually were forced tc
charge upon the spectators before they
cleared the streets. It is now 5 o. clocb
Monday morning and the fire is under
control. 1t was found that 10000 lines
in Paris, comprising all the lines in use
by the various ministries, the news
papers, banks and commercial houses
and all the provincial and internationa
routes, had been completely destroyed
The fire chief reports that there wal
no loss of life and that no one was in
jured.
