Rain Prevented Other Fires Burning Embers Carried Far Many residents in the west end of the city found their back yard cov- ered with debris from the big fire at the Kingston Curling rink and the fact that the rain had dampened everything probably saved other places from catching fire. Burnmg embers were carried several blocks away, and had the material been dry it is altogether likely that the firemen would have had other fires to fight. Clothes 1eft out on the line overnight in this district were soil- ed and had to be washed over again. ------------ Ice-Punts Still Running. The ice-punts running between the city and Wolfe Island are still carrying a number of passengers pack and forth, and also rendering a very useful service by carrying mail to the island. Milk is also brought over to the city in large quantities, The landing at the foot of /Brock street is far from good, as the ice is gradually melting away around the wharf, and many of the passengers, entering and leaving the punt, receive wet feet. The young 'men, who are in charge of this novel trans-harbor service, appear to en- joy their work. Chippawa probe will be conduct- ed -by royal commission. This was pretty definitely announced in gov ernment circles at Toronto on Tues- day.
