NO DEMAND AT HOME, And Its Products Sold At Price. | Berlin, Feb. 7.~The annual report of the Trades Guild, the chief cor ration of busines men in the city, Any TAMWORTH N FLARES Thirteen Baildings Reduced to Ashes. A WHOLE BLOCK FIRESWEPT. LATE XINGSTON MERCHANT A HEAVY LOSER. Fire 'Started In Barber Shop--No Appliances. Available--Only the Most Desperate Fighting Saved the Village From Destruction. © (By Our Owa Reporter). Tamworth, Feb. 6.~The main busi- ness section of this vill lies in ashes and ruins, This A etnaon it was fireswept, and in two hours the unsubstantial frame structures were burned to the ground, with almost all their contents. It was not Tam- worth's first bitter ewperience of a conflagration. On April 20th, 1895, the village from the present post-of- fice building to the river, was con- sumed, though the loss was not so great as in the present case, where much valuable stock was burned, A Whig reporter reached the vil lage at seven o'clock -in the evening, and witnessed a scene of desolation. Three-quarters of the block on the east side of Concession and Bridge streets was in ruins. At the corner, in the section occupied by D. E. Rose's store, the fire was still burn- being so much oil and coal among the debris. The snow mniantled streets were black with the charred remains of wood and merchandise, and the scene was sad in the extreme. Well was it, however, that the fire ocour- red by daylight, as such a conflagra- tion in the hours of darkness would have wrought far greater lose of pro- perty, and possibly also of life. The origin of the fire is unknown, However, it started in the rear of the barber shop of Bruce Richardson," on Concession street. Discovery of the blaze was made by Mr. Rose's won, who smelled smoke in the store short- ly after one o'clock. At first, the fire could not be located, but it was soon found to be in the barber shop next doar, The alarm was given, and L. Way broke into the tonsorial place, which was closed, Mr. Richardson being at dinner. But the blaze had gained much headway, and when dis- covered, was eating its way into the store-house of Mr. Rose's place of business, which was stocked with bustibles. There could be no tem- porary check, and the residents saw at once that it would be a strugale to save the village. There are no fire appliances in Tamworth, which is not an incorporated village, so the fight was with the bucket alone. Fighting The Flames. Vigorously diel the people attack burning buildings. The church pealed. out an alarm, and soon the farmers of the district came in hot haste to assist in saving the vil- lage. Everyone worked with a will, and presently saw that their labors were pot in vain. The farmers' large sleighs were used to cart away quan. tities of stock and household effects, principally from the surrounding buildings. The fire first spread from the bar: ber shop to Rose's general store, ad joining, and then, after making its way through Miss Donaghue's dress' making establishment, leaped acrosi a gateway, to the general store occupied by James Johnston, formerly of King- ston, and owned by H. E. Thornton. Thence it spread to John Floyd's' dwelling, and then to the general store of the latter, whére its progress was stayed, by hard work. After Mr. Rose's store, at the corner of Brid street, had become well ablaze, the fiery element continued down Bridge street, sweeping everything before it. Mr., Rose's storehouse was soon a roaring furnace, and Likewise the dwellings of veterinary Rowsen and William Rose. At that point there was nothing more to burn, and the eastward limit of the fire was reached. In rear of the contral portion of the block were several storehouses owned by H. E. Thornton, which likewise went up in flames. Beyond the store of John Floyd & Son, damage was done to several buildings. York's shoe and barber shop, Barrie' rocery, and Michael Donoghue's dwelling "were greatly wrecked in the efforts to save the contents, Then directly across Con- cession street, where fire occurred. several other buildings were more or less damaged J. Taylor's dwelling, L. P. Well's harness store, and a va- cant store owned - by John Cunning- ham. Ringonaily across from Rose store on Bridge street, C. G. Coxall's Sonera] store, 2 htiek structure, re cei some wi ing. but no damage wan done 05 the stork. It was feared that the latter building was doomed, but a hard fighting brigade of vil lagers saved it from destruction, sag ir 2 H : $853: ! : itl ir of J li i HE 3 e : g i : ; id " ar £ t i i ' for a time, in the vacant store owned | by John Cunningham, and in the spring will build. Today he was in Kingston purchasing new stock in | drugs and general merchandise. He | had only recently purchased the drug stock of C. R. Jones, valved at $2. 500. This is what causes Mr. Rose's chief loss, as it was not insured. Mr. Johnston has not vet decided what to do. He opened business in Tamworth only six weeks ago. As Tamworth has suffered so disas- trously in recent years from confla: grations, no dopbt the residents will now think more seriously than ever of getting some fire-fighting appliances. The Losses Given. It is estimated that the loss wil emount to $30,000, a low figure, be cavse of the cheap frame structures. The greatist loss is in stock, and the beatiest losers are D. E. Rose and James Johnston. The insurance is less than hall the loss. The compan- jes jnvolied are the London Mutual, the Me cantile, the Caledonian and the Perth. Mr. Rose's buildings were worth $2. 000 and his stock $5500, He is in- sured for about $3,000. Nothing in his store was saved except a few show cases, and 'some deeds, mortgages, books and other papers from his safe, in which are still some other impor tant papers, if the safe is intact in the ruins. Mr. Rose had just finished anditing the township books, which fortungtely were saved, Mr. Johnston's stock was valued at £7000, and of this about $1,000 worth was saved. The insurance am- ounts to about hall. The building oc. {eupied by Mr. Johnston was owned by B. Thornton, whose insurance on it and his outbuildings amounted to $1,200. John Floyd thinks that his loss will be very small. He was insured jor £3.000, and saved consiaerable of his stock. Miss Mary Reid, who owned the builaing occupied' by Miss Donoghue and Bruce Richardson, had but $200 insurance, far below her loss. The lat ter two had no insurance on their goods. The house occupied by Mr. Rowsen was ownea by Mr. Rose. The surrounding buildings, damaged to a small extent, are insurea. BRITISH CASUALTIES. The Returns During The Progress Of War, London, Feb: 7.--~The war office re turn of casualties, in South Africa, for the month of January, published yesterday, is. unusually heavy. Four officers and eighty-two men were kill- ed in action, five officers and sixty- two men died of wounds, ten officers and 526 men died of disease, twenty- one men were reported missing and sixty-seven officers and 1,937 men have beet invalided home. Up 10 Jan- uart 3lst, the total reduction of the forces, from death to permanent dis- ability was 25.305 men. The total of the casuslties, including surviving wounded, was 5,240 officers and 100,- 701 men, 4 Dewet Surrotirided. London, Feb. T.--The correspon- dent of the London Times at Pre toria, in reviewing the war situation, says that British operations north of the Delagoa railway have resulted in rounding up scat ered groups of Boers at Pilgrim's Rest, under Schoe- man. Commandant Irichardt lies to his men about the independence god the supremacy of the Boers, and thus holds 250 of them at Sterkamps- berg. Commandant Muller has 200 men near Belfast, and Beyers, with a few burghers is east of Pietersburg. South of the Delagoa line the Boers under Viljoen and Prinsloo occasional ly penetrate the constabulary lines. Iu this district . ten armed burghers make a town unsafe at night. There are shall commandos in the eastern Transvaal. The lafrest consists of 300 men, under Brite. The Orange River Colony line of blockhouses is complete from Heilbron to Botha's Pass, and from Kroonstadt to Har- rismith. The Boers are heing con- stantly harassed. Cen. Dewet con bring together about F000 men in twonty-four hours. The completion of the two blockhouse lines is important, inssmuch as thev, with those already bui't, enclose Dewet and the burg: hers still holding the billy country in the north-eastern part of the Orange River Colony, in a encircumscribed south, and west, and the mountains to the east and render their capture much more probable.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 7.---Novoe Vremya tells an extraordinary prison delivery at the prison for females at Smolensk, in which all the guards, numbering thirty-eight, were murder ed and 112 convins escaped.

When everything was in readi- res a siznal was given and simul taneously an attack was made on the warders and guards, all of whom were quickly overcome. The crudest kind of weapons were used by the revolt ing convicts, the paper says, but the guards were inadequately armed, and taken completely by surprise. After the fight, the scene about the prion and in the corridors resembled a shamble. Walls and floors were smattered with the blood of the offi- cials who had been killed and several of the escaping convicts who were in- jured in the melee. Many of the con- victs were later recaptured.
