THE LOSS 5500,000.
The loss of property, while a, nain-
or matter compared with the loss of
life, will probably aggregate it half
million of dollars. The lire started
In P. McIntosh and Son's ware-
house, where grain, feed, and hay
are dealt in, at the Corner of George
end Front streets, and was discov-
ered by Foreman Mathieson of Me-
Intosh'e, at ten minutes after six
o'clock. The alarm was rung, and
the district brigades were on the
scene in it few minutes. A half a
gale was blowing from the north-
east at this time, which an hour
Inter hilted to the northwest, and
finally dropped almost altogether.
This eircumettmee assieted the fire
brigade very materially in keeping
the blaze confined practically to the
McIntosh building, The building
was stocked with baled hay and
grain, which fed the furious element
readily. It was a very fast fire,
going with a rush right through the
building; eating its way up to
Front street, and spreading to the
east to George street and west to
the Hough Lithographing Com-
pany's building.
WALLS STAYED TUE FLAMES.
The solid walls of the Dough
building stayed the lire in that di-
rection, although had there been an
east wind nothing could have saved
either that or the St. Lawrence
market buildings. On the south
side of the Esplanade are the
bniid-
liigs al tbe Western Oil Company,
the Dominion Cement, Taint Roof-
ing Company, ice houses, and some
vacant shops, which were all in Im-
mediate danger. George Reid and
Co.'s one -storey Warehouse, imme-
diately adjoining the McIntosh build-
ing, was not damaged to any ex -
ton . On the east side of George
str, et, ti Alert. distance from Frout,
Cadeby & McCann's flour and feed
store was completely gutted, as
was also Mrs. Catharine Hickey's, a
widow's, louse.

T11E BURNED BUILDING.
The Melntash building was a 8 -
storey brick structure, owned by the
Toronto Street Railway Company
and leased to McIntosh &i Sons, The
building was erected in 1875, and
was formerly used as a street car
Mum.. The walls are la inches
thick at the base and nine inches
at the top. There were no parti-
tions or braces throughout the
whole length of the betiding, and
fll an inspection recently Chief
Thompson learned that it was a
dangerous building in case of it fire.
McIntosh & Son's lease Would bave
mill out in September, and they had
purchased the Irish National Food
Company's building, in Cottingbem
street, where they had intended mov-
ing their plant.
When the building was used to
store goods salvaged from the Gow-
ans Kent fire a couple of years ago
the structure threatened to col-
lapse, and it PartiOn of the stuff had
to be removed.
'THE CAUSE NOT KNOWN.
The cause of the fire is =known.
No coherent statement could be got-
ten. Incencliarisau is the telly plau-
sible explanation.
Before Chief Thompson had come
up the Lombard street brigade were
playing several* stretuns on the
southeast corner of the building.. It
was here that See, Clarice, and ICerr,
three of the men killed, had placed
themselves. They were there of
their own volition, Chief Thompson
not having directed their movements.
At 6.50 the order was passed to
them to move further up George
street, when, wiLhout, moment's
warning, the wall on which they had
been playing a stream of water blew
out with a pull, • and, collapeing,
buried the three brave fellows in
the rules. Chief Thompson de-
spatched it detail ot men to dear
away the debris and recover the
bodies. See and Clark were a few
minutes later brought out, but it
WAS o'cloth before the remains of
Neer were borne on the ehoulders of
hie fellotis to the morgue.
