Toronto, April 20. -Indescribable in its terrors, irresistible in its force, and calamitous beyond any disaster that has • yet overtaken Toronto was the great - fire that last night swept through the wholesale centre of the city, leaving in its track acres of smoking ruins, where a few hours before there had been huge warehouses and factories tilled with the costliest of merchandise. Thank God, the wind blew toward the lake, or the story of Toronto's loss would have been written among the great fires of history. At this writing the fire area probably includes thirty acres, bounded roughly by Lorne street and the Queen's Hotel on the west, the Esplanade on the soutn, and midway be. tween King and Wellington on the north. Eastward the fire still rages, in spite of the utmost efforts to stay it, and there Is no longer doubt that a large part of the block between 13ay and Yonge, south of Wellington, has been destroyed. The wind was a gale from the north- west, but veered at times almost to the northeast. in the malt, however, the 'course of the fire is from the northwest, end the strip blotted out of the heart of Toronto is about 000 feet wide, by a quarter of a mile long. The money loss cannot be guessed at event Some 'of the great warehouses, like those of Gordon Mackay & Co., Copo. Clark, the Lock Gordon, Brown, Brothers, Gage & Co., and Warwick Brothers & Co., had stock ana machin- ery in °tem worth from tt imiter to three-quarters of It million. The de- struction of at least forty of these great establislinierits is complete at the hour of going to press, nisa the money .loss cannot be less then five or ells mil- lion .dollars. As the fire bas eaten out the heart of the block betweeri Bror and Yeligc, it is beyond all doubt that the lose will run up perhaps eight millions.

The employees of The Telegram fought the fire inch by inch in a fashion beyond all praise. The great plate glass windows broke under the heat, the window frames caught fire, the building was filled with smoke, but The Telegram men, using their own hose, won the day. The firemen, too, seeing that if the fire leaped across Bay street so high up, the whole centre of the city would be destroyed, turned several branches uaon the Office Specialty Com- pany building, and subdued the flames, after the roof had fallen in, By 9.30 the walls of the :warehouses on the east side of Bay north of Wellington were totter- ing, and before 9.45• all the floors had fallen in; the first building to collapse being that of Davis & Hender- son, whoch fell with a crash that brought terror to the thousands of spectators massed on Bay street north of the police lines. • - JOHNSON TELLS, HIS TALE. Turned in an Alarm Shortly After Eight O'Clock, Nightwatehman T. H. Johnson was the first to see the tire. He tells the following. story: "At tebout 8 o'clock, or a iew minutes before, I was stand- ing on the corner of Bay and. King streets talking with P. C. Armstrong and Watchman Bell. Leaving them I came to the west side of Currie's pre- mises, where a lane is. I smelt smoke and turned into the lane to investi- gate. I had not gone far wben I heard a roaring sound. I rushed to the back of the building, and there I saw a column of fire shooting up the elevator 'shaft. It looked as 1± 11. had been going for several minutes. Turning without trying to get in, I startea to run for the fire alarm box, which is itt the corner of Bay and King streets. Before I got out of the lane I fell, losing a few seconds. "When I get back from turning in the alarm, the flames completely en. velored tbe rear end of the Currie building. and was fast eating into the front. As to the eause of the fire I am not sure. But in my opinion it Was electric wires that were responsible There was a heating apparatus, bue I do not think that this could have any. thing to do with it. There is nothing about it that could cause fire.. And aa to anyone being ht the building, I feel sure there wan no ono around. Every door WAS padlocked, as well as locked. "By the time the fire reels reachee the spot the flames had. Retried to lap tbe side of .Ausley's, the furriers to the east of Currie's, and aided by the gale that was blowing, the flames soon got headway on that building." The watchman added, with a wistful game armee the ruin: "All my build- ings that I live been wateliing so long are gone." He had lost his job by the fire fiend. other Weis.All of the silver and valuables in the hotel were taken to the bead offices of the Venal Transfer Company, which company also remov- ed the effects of the guests. Colonel Matheson, M. P. P., whose room wast in the cast wing, was one of those \vies went to another hotel, but Mr. 3. la WIlitnese. lif. 1'. P.,. contented himself with taking another room at the Queen's. Swath of Two Blocks. The building directly opposite the street from newest wing of the gluon's, occupied by J. J. Gartshore, had a sim- ilar escape, and, although there Was great difficulty in rescuing the borses from suffocation, the stables of the Hendrio Company, extending down Lorne street to the Esplanade, were saved. A little cotage occupied by an employee, which at times was hidden by flames, came through unscathed, al- though the 'small possessions were strewn in the mud of the Esplanade, where they had.been thrown be the panic-stricken stableman. FIRE INSRANCE. Estimates . cf the Loss by the Bay Street Boomed. There was no chtmee to stay the pro- gress of the fire in this direction, as the necessity of the moment Was the proven - tion of further intonde to the north fine east. !lids woe successfully accomplished • but 10 the the fire Was blazing on both sides or 33ay to Front street. The water tower stahoned at the corner Underwriters. Insurance men who are thoroughly ac- quainted with the devastated district es- timated that the total monetary lose would reach from $13,000,000 to 510,000,- 000. The different lime would be insuied to at least 75 per cent. of their total value, and this, as the loss was not total in all cases, would mean an insurance of oyer 58,000.000 at the least, which, the insurance men sav, is the heaviest loss they have ever experienced in one conflagration. An approximate list thus far shows that the insurance carried was about 58,825,000. It is rather a curious thing that the Canadian Board of ,Fire :Underwriters recently decided to put on a new system of rating in the business seetioe of the city, under which each risk would Le rated separately and upon its individual merits. One block was taken last week, upon which a sample rating was made, the block on Front 'street, north from Pay, as far west as the Queen's Hotel. bfr. J. A. C. McCuaig, secretary of the board, personally inspected every pro- perty there. Most of the merchants when discussing rates wore positive that there could be no danger of any fire destroying their premises. Every build- ing along the north side of the street was completely destroyed. From the conversation among insur- ance men yesterday it seems to be clear that an advance in rates in Toronto will certainlybe made in the awned:ate future. It is possible., too, that the advance will not be confined to Toronto, but that outside points will also be af- fected. This last •loss, aiming on top of what the insurance companies claim has been a series of unprofitable years, has apparently determined the compan- ies to act as soon as the present losses are arranged. Last year the premiums paid to fire insurance companies doing business in Toronto amounted to $11,- 434,856, divided as follows: Canadian • companies, 52,330,540; Britieh. compan- ies, 57,336,475; Aire. an companies, 51,767,832. Upon the atine basis as last year this present disaster will eat up nearly two-thirds of the inemee of the companies for the present year, I air- time°. officials figure expenses •alt about .33 1-3 per cent. upon the total iecm.e, and they claim that during the past thirty-four years, which is the time that official returns have been available, the total premiums naid to companies 011 Canadian business was $188,000,000, while the losses in that period Were 5126,000,000.
