FIRE IN THE McOAUGHEY BLOCK.
BUILDING BADLY DAMAGED.
Thursday evening of last week, shortly
atter 6 a"otok, lire broke oat iu the large
brink blook, Tucnberry street, owned by
the MoOaugbay estate, of whin Mr.
hmnrt, of the Tralers Bank, Grand
Valley, Ont., is the noting agent.
The flee originated by the upsetting of
a lantern being (MCI by A. Ballantyne,
an employee of the Loohridge Woollen
foolory, who was handling goods belong
ins to the faotory, attired there. Oil
from the lantern °+nght fire and despite
the efforts of Mr. Ballantyne to beat it
not it soon spread to the inflammable
stook and almost in a moment the room
wee ablaze.
A lively hustle wag made in getting the
fire engine to the stand at the kinin.
land, at the foot of Elizabeth street, a
farmer's team being pressed into service
in hauling the engine from the Town
Hall. Steam wan soon ready and the
hose attaohed to a hydrant opposite the
fire and everything pointed to a speedy
°beak being given to the tern blaze but,
owing to the water gate in the water.
works pipe being open the heavy stream
of water that eh odd have been pouring
from the nozzles was running laok into
,he river end the muse wee n01 discover-
ed for severed minutes owing to the great
depth of snow.
The delay leavethe devouring element
a good siert and it made its way upstairs
and into the adjoining .store used by N.
8..MeLaaohlin as an implement show
room and for a time it looked very mach
ae if the whole block and perhaps the
adjoining one would be utterly destroyed.
Things were favorable, however, owing
to the large queemitiee of snow ou the
roofs and the calm evening.
Bye tel bye the water wae got to the
right plane and soon drenched ont the
flames, not however before very eerione
damage woe' done to the book, whish
will entail considerable expenee to relit.
This block was one of the beet built in
town and had solid brtok walla and
partitions, being erected in 1879 by J. R
Grant, the then postmaster here, now of
Winnipeg. It was said to have oast about
97,000. Plate glees windows ware in the
oentre store and a new felt Bend gravel
roof woo pat on last year. Up to the
removal of tba poetofHae the stores and
rffioee were wall tenanted but buoinene
drifted a li!tle more Southerly and ae the
property passed into the poseeseion of
oateidere it did not prove es remunerative
of late years.
There wag en inooranoe of 92,500 on
the bloolt in the Guardian Go., and on
Tneeday the Iuep.otor of the Co., and
Mr. Smart were here di+onaeing the
settlement. It is said nearly $2,000 wae
received to equate off the lose.
The Woollen teeter}, geode were also
insured.
LITTLE ePARlCLETe.
Nothing like a fire to attract a crowd,
We hope it will be many a day before
the alarm calla our 01110000 to another
fire.
No department of municipal poeeee-
eions ehen'd be kept in better shape than
the firs fighting applianoee.
The very deep snow makes engine and
hose cart haniing no easy job when the
work has to be dote with such a rash.
About 2 o'olook Friday morning the
cornice on the block showed that fire wae
stili there but some now was applied
and the blaze put out.
A number of the firemen end others
got "loused" with aqua para from the
hose which was not the meet congenial
