Montreal. Quebec Especially Be
tween 2 0 and 80 people lost their lives
when the supports of the sprinkler
system tank on the roof of the Her
aid building gave way and the great
mass Of metal and water, weighing
s5 tons. went crashing to the base
ment.
Fire broke out Immediately, add
ing its horrors to the disaster. The
flremen displayed splendid heroism
in rescuing scores Of people from
perilous positions in the tottering
walls. Some of the walls had to
come down before the work of re-
covering the bodies could be safely
attempted and it was not until after
s o'clock that the first body, charred
and manglad beyond recognition. was
brought out.
All of those who escaped agree
that the first warning of the impend-
ing disaster passed almost unnoticed.
There was slight creaking; then
little more, some what more pro-
nounced. but it was not until the
ceiling plaster began to fall that the
rush for the stairway began. Be-
fore anyone reached IT,, there occur
red d final deafening crash and then
chaos Some survivors tell of fall
ing one and two floors before the
awful crash died away and then
they found themselves able to crawl
through the dense dust to a place
of safety.
The majority sought safety by
rushing to the front building fac
ing on Victoria Square Fortunate
". all the floors held for about 80
feet back from the front wall, and
to this Is due the fact that the death
list does not run up into the hum
dreds. for there were nearly 800
people In the building at the time.

J. W. GRADDY.
Well Known Citizen OF Piney Fork
Township Announces For Assessor.

J. W. Graddy of Piney Fork
township announces in this issue
of the Record as a candidate for
Assessor, subject to the March
primaries.
Mr.. Graddy is an old citizen of
this section, having lived in this
immediate vicinity since 1858,
and during his long residence
here he has made many warm
friends in different portions of
the county. He is an, upright,
genial citizen, wEo would put
forth every effort of which he is
capable should the voters place
him in the office he seeks.
He is we'll qualified to fill the
Assessors office in a most ac-
ceptable manner, because added
to his ability as a business man
he is quite well posted in land
matters, which is an important
qualification in the man who fills
this important place.
Mr.. Grady has never held a
county office, although he once
made the race for Assessor.
Many years ago he made the
race for this position and was
second in the contest, being de-
feated by a narrow margin by r.,
B. Bellamy.
He will see as many OF the vot.
ers as possible between this date
and the primaries and only asks
a fair consideration of his candi.

for sidetracks, stations and other
construction.
He urged that the law ought to
be repealed or amended so as to
