FOUR FIREMEN WERE KILLS Fatality at the Most Disastrous Fire in Montreal in Years A. despatch from Montreal. says Four Montreal firemen lie dead at the Morgue and three are injured, one seriously, in consequence of a fire in which the large brick sash and blind factory of Messrs. Itz-, weire & Sarrazin, facing on Duver- nay and Levis streets and Fabian Avenue, Ste. Cunegonde, was de- molished on Sunday. The large ice warehouse of the City Ice Co., on Fabian -Avenue, in the rear of the burned factory, caved in. The front walls of arow of flats from 195 to 223 Duvornay Street, oppo- site the sash and blind factory, are scarred and blackened from fire and smoke,' windows and doors being destroyed, and in many cases bent rooms gutted. This is the result of the most disastrous fire that has visited this city since the burning of the Board of Trade building thir- teen years ago. The fire started, presumably, from a burning match or lighted cigarette thrown care- lessly by a passer-by into some shavings lying in the Fabian Ave- nue doorway. The ignited shav- ings, in the open doorway were. quickly •sucked Into the building by a draught, and the blaze trailed its way immediately to a bias in the centre of the building, which was packed with excelsior and other flimsy material. This box of refuse served as tinder for the creeping flames. From the refuse box to the dry kiln, on the floor above in the east wing el the building, a. room filled with closely -piled lumber, was the path of the flames. The in- tense heat from the burning of the refuse bin literally melted the floor from under the dry kiln, precipitat- ing part of the tons of lumber into the raging furnace beneath, which loosened the piles sufficiently to cause a draught. All this happened before the firemen arrived on the scene , Captain Enlowe, with five men, were fighting the blaze with two streams at the place of its origin inj Fabian Lana, directing their efforts against the dry kiln. • Suddenly a dense volume of smoke rushed out through the windows, and without, warning a section of the south wa•Il colIapsed,. engulfing the men in its debris. Capt. Enlowe and Fire- man Cox escaped the full force of the wall, and were taken out by the rescue party alive, but badly burned and bruised. Fireman Des- jardins was also severely injured. His condition is regarded as seri- ous, The injured men were imme- diately taken 'to hospitals, THE 'NEWS IN A PARAGRAPH ilAPPENINGS i1CM ALE OVE$ THE oLoirrz IN A I+i,DTsfIFu .
