Flames Started ill Factory and Licked
Up Half the Business Section.
A despatch froni Pembroke says:
Over half the business section of
Pembroke, including the best busi-
ness blocks and two banks, the
largest manufacturing concerns,
two mills, and two hotels and sev-
eral dwellings, were wiped out by
Are which started at 4 o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The loss is
w tintated at 500,000, and insur-
ance at $240,000
The fire started in the N':ttional
Manufacturing Company, a three -
Morey brick factory situated adjac-
ent to the C. P. R. tiacks. One
supposed cause of the fire is sparks
from a passing engine. The top
eto, ey was first noticed to be in
flames, but by the time the firemen
eirrived the factory was doomed.
From there it spread to the Wright
tannery, a frame building adjac-
ent, then to the frame stables of
the Leland Hotel, and thence to
the hotel itself, and across the
street to a number of frame build-
ings. A terrible wind was blowing,
and the burning embers and sparks
were carried a block to the main
street of the town, the fire break-
ing out in two distinct places. Sev-
oral business blocks were complete-
ly destroyed,' and the fire passed
southwards, licking up several fine
dwellings. By one o'clock the fire
in the business section was under
control, and two hours later all
danger of the fire spreading in the
residential section was removed.
HOTEL AND TOWN HALL
SAVED.
The Copeland House, the largest
hotel in the town, is standing with
burned buildings on both sides and
its frame outbuildings all burned
in the rear. The Town Hall and
several other residences caught fire,
but were saved.
Business was completely suspend-
ed all day, and all classes of eiti-
:ens assisted in the work of check-
ing the fire and Paving the goods.
On orders of the Mayor, all the ho-
tel bars were closed. Despite the
fact that it was at an early hour
in tile morning there were no lives
lost, and very few narrow escapes.
From one of the houses which was
burned the body of a Mrs. Sulli-
van, who died on Tuesday night,
had to be carried to the Town Hall
i•'1 safety.
In the Leland Hotel an Indian
bad to be called half a dozen times
before be got up, and before he left
the building it was in a mass of
fid rtes.
