The los to the workmen is great, many of whom built fine homes for themselves, expect- ing to pay for them with money earned in the faceory. The loss to the businees man is very large. The fire outing as it did 5 days before Christmas, bae almost ruined the large trade they expected at at this noon of the year. It is not koown whether the firm will rebuild or not.

The Kueelatel Furniture Factory, the largest furniture factory in the Dominion of Canada, has gone up in smoke. At 6 o'clook Thursday evening it was dis- covered that the KneehtelEurniture Fac- tory was on ere, and in a few minutee clouds of smoke and flames of fire leaped out in every direction. The factory covered about two ores of land and not a, wall is left standing. About ten million feet of lumber ha the yard and the sawmill were nod. The clause of fire is unknown. At the time of the fire both Daniel Knob tel, bead of the firul, and J. S.

Doepel's floor and feed store. The total loss is thought to be about 008 01110101 dollars. Mr. Pepler, one of the portnere, was very badly burned. One boy had a leg broken.
