mass Of flames. All the 0re apparatus in
the city was centred at the scene OF the
blaze, but the efforts Of the lremen. who
we're handicapped by insufficient water
pressure, proved futile and the flames had
full sway By 0 o'clock the fire had reduced
the building TO a heap Of ruins,
A number OF firenen had narrow escapes
from death and half a dozen were carried
from the building in an unconscious con-
dition from suffocation by. smoke, The

engaged in experiments a short time before
the fire started. There we're no students
in the building at the time. The insur-
ance will nearly cover the loss.
