Grimsby Beach Loses Thirty-Eight Houses in Fire.
GRIMSBY BEACH Aug. 10 -- Thirty-eight houses were totally destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon as the result of the exploding of a gasoline stove in the home of W. Terryberry. A total loss of nearly $60,000 was entailed. The explosion occurred shortly before two o'clock, and in a little more than an hour the thirty-eight homes were burned to the gorund, despite the efforts of the cottagers to save them. Men, women and children -- worked heroically in attempting to stop the raging fire. The residents were successful in getting considerable of the household goods out of the building, but owing to the sparks most of this caught fire and was totally ruined. Luckily no one was seriously injured. Mrs. Terryberry, in whose home the fire started was slightly burned, and a young lad had his arm broken in jumping off a roof. Several men had a narrow escape when they climbed to the roofs of the buildings.
