Blaze Panned by Wind Sweeps -Gill mOur and Hughson's Lumber Pile& Near Brewery Creek, De- molishing Stock Valued at Half a Million Dollars — Ottawa Fire Department Summoned. OTTAWA, J'Tly 28.--A fire broke out in Gilmour and Hughson's lum- ber yards just east of Brewery Creek, Hull, shortly before 10 o'elck last night, and burned fiercely all night. Three million feet of valuable lumber have been destroyed; as well as 'a quantity of mill wood belonging to Simon Dupuis: Fanned by the wind, the flames • spread through the lumber with - great rapidity in the direction of the residential section of the city. The fire is supposed to have orig- inated in the rear of the Simon Du- puis residence. It had made consid- erable headway before It was disco.- ered and spread rapidly. The Hull fire brigade were utterly unable to check the advance of the flames and a call for aid was sent to the Ottawa fire department. - There were only two houses in the immediately vicinity of the lumber yards and both* were badly searched. It is impossible at the present time to determine exactly the amount of • the loss, In one bloek„`ot lumber alone, which was cornpletel? destroy ed, there • was nearly' • three' million feet of•lumber, wi.ich,would be Worth about $300,000. The latest estimate of the loss is in the neighborhood of $500,040, seven million feet of lum- ber teing destroyed. QUAKE IN NOVA SCOTIA. Two Violent Shocks Are Felt In Southwestern District. HALIFAX, N.S., July 28.—Earth tremors, which violently shook the buildings and so alarmed the inhabi- tants thatin one place they fied from their houses, fearing immediate col- lapse, were felt at noon yesterday in the southwestern shore of Nova Sco- tia, from Mahone Bay to Shelburne. The disturbances occurred a few minutes before noon; and were in most places felt in two distinct shocks. - The earthquakes came from an . easterly direction, and evidently spent their force at Shelburne, grliere - only one shock was felt, and that of less duration than elsewhere. Mahone Bay, Maders . Cove, The Nows, all reported shocks severe engh to`rattie the dishes. At Bridgewater the shock was very severe, but no damage was reported. The distance between Mahone Bay and Shelburne is about 100 miles. At Sable River, which is half way be- tween these two places, the shock was so severe that pictures were dis- arranged on the walls, and houses shook so violently that people rushed Into the open in terror, fearing their buildings would collapse. It was in this vicinity, a radiuts of twenty miles; that the seismic disturbances were greatest. At Liverpool, which is the-neXt im- portant station east of Sable River, on tee Halifax & Southwestern Rail- way, there were two distinct shocks, one of twelve seconds' and another following immediately of six seconds' duration. All buildings in this town were more or less shaken, but no damage was reported. ARCHIBALD BLUE DIES, - He Had Been Dominion Census Com- missioner Since 1900. OTTAWA, July 28.
