I - Departmentel Building Caves In. 1’ 'A despatch from Peterboro says: With no. more warning than a few ominous cracks, that were immedi- ately followed by a reading of tim- bers and crashing of bricks and mortar, a, big section of the largest departmental store in the city, that of the J. C. Turnbull 00., George and Simcoe streets, collapsed on Thursday morning, killing five and injuring more or less seriously al- most a dozen ,of the occupants. The obviOus cause of the calamity" which occurred shortly before tern o’clock, was the weakening of the walls by extensive interior alterations, in- volving the removal of a‘brick partiâ€" tion separating what formerly were . tWO stores. During the whole day upwards of 100 people worked in the ruins, first rescuing the living, and later re- moving the bodies of the dead. Even after the Last body, that of’ Miss Dorothy Sisson, had been un- covered at'about 3.30in the after- noon the working party did not cease, for it was feared that the-re might be others. By eight o’clock in the evening it was learned that several whom it was feared'hsid 1‘ cc J killed were safe, and only then did work cease. All those who were killed were working either on =the ,,. first story or the third, the roof of whichwa§ open to the sky. Over and over agaiumarvcl has been 0".- pressed that with upward of 50 people in the store, including cus- tomers and employees, the list of Jdéad and injured was not much longer than it is. A Perhapsthe saddestlof the many sad features of the do" are the cases of Miss Dorothy Sisson and Miss Lily Boddison, who were ern~ played in .the readvanadc dress goods department on the first story. According to Miss Ola. Mulligan, cashier, who mifaculously escaped almost uninj‘u'r-et, Mrs-s SI-sson had - just started to go down stairs. Miss Bodison was waiting on Mrs. Eliza.- beth Brown, a customer, and Miss Agnes Tucker was waiting on Mrs. J. A. Finlay. Without any warn.- ing the first floor began tosink, at first gradually. then Wit-h a. tremor dous crash. Miss Mulligan found herself half buried in timbers, dust. and bricks. ' .

Then it fell, covering Sim- coe street to the further sidewalk with debris. “Immediately the con- stable turned in the: fire alarm. The firemen and the remaindeur‘of the police force, including Chief Thomp- son, were on the scene in a few minutes. Their first thought was to get out anyone who might be alive. The dead could wait till lat- er. Some could be seen with heads or other jccting. Miss Mulligan was among the first to be rescuch Soon the crowd which quickly gathered, all eager to do what they could, threatened to interfere with the work,' and had to be held back. It was here that many of the saddest scenes occured. People who knew not whether friends or near relaâ€" tives were dead or alive, struggled frantically to 'get into the ruins.

A despatch from London, Ont., says: Fire, which it is believed was caused .by a. tramp following the circus smoking in a, cattle shed early on Friday, swept the Western Fair Grounds, causing a, loss of $100,000. The big machinery hall, carriage buildings, pig and sheep buildings, and about one-third of the big horseâ€"sheds are a pile of ashes. The buildings were all frame, and, fanned by a high wind, the flames licked them up in a. few min- utes. The fact that the heavy show- er, an hour or two before, had soak- ed the roofs of adjoining buildings, probably prevented the whole of the fair buildings and the grand stand from going. The large Grand Trunk unloading platform and many cars were burnedfand the half-million dollar G.T.R. car works, just across the street from the horse sheds was on fire many times, but was saved by the efforts of the company’s own fire department. As the fair was to open this week, the management is up against a big problem. An ef- fort will be made to secure tents to put the exhibits in in the meantime. President Reid states that the loss is fully covered by insurance. The fair, he says, will go on as usual. Far from being dismayed at the loss of about a quarter of their build- ings, they unanimously express the hope that bigger and better build- ings than ever will replace those lost.

Nearly one hundred samples have been taken in Eastern Ontario already, and the average water content, as determined by test, was 12.92 per cent., which was well under the legal limit of 10 per cent. ' Only three samples exceeded the moisture limit. The makers were warned, and more samples will be taken from time to time. Of- fenders are liable to a heavy fine for infractions of the Act. Last winter a number of dealers in Vanâ€" couver were heavily fined, it will be remembered, for reworking New Zealand butter and adding moisture to it. -__..â€"â€"-K4 GRAIN INCREASE 30 PER CENT.
