Farmed by a. south-easterly wind, the dry, frame dwelling burned like tinder, and was a mass of flames by'the time the firemen had the water . turned on. It was almost. half an hour be- fore the brigade had the water ,turnâ€" ed on the burning house. They could 0;- not find the location of ,the‘ fire at first, and than {hey were short 500 feet of hose when they did find the (re. having missed a nearer hydrant. liven if they had put the hose on the nearest hydrant it is a question whether the length was sufficient or not. The fire originated from the .lamp in a brooder in the _upsta.ir part of the house. Exidently it had been turned too high, and Mr. Cotey, who was in bed .downstairs with his son Earl, heard dryacrackling upstairs, and thought it was a. cat. Earl went upstairs to ascertain what was mak- ing the noise, and his father . was startled by a. cry of "fire" ! ;Pull- in; on his clothes he hurried up the stairs, but the Iroom was filled with choking smoke‘ The son flow for DEIFH H thugâ€"fig 113.71}; when he gave theâ€"alarm. TIME ,WA'S LOST. Evidently Driver Tisher, Uho was in charge of the hall. Driver {Bell having taken his night off, misunder- stood the directions given by the lad. for he drOVe down to William-st. and at, last. reached the scene of the fire. The hose was attached to the hydrant at the corner of Bond and Albert-sts. There is a hydrent at the corner of Sussex and Colbome- s-‘s., at least 400 feet nearer. When the 1.000 feet of hose were strung out. they did not come within half a block of the fire, and the team.» turned to-the hall for more. NEIGHBORS ASSISTED )Inanwhile the neighbots had | been lending a hand to assist. in saving the furniture. An _attempt was made to extinguish the flames by throwing water from the pump on Liberal Candidate (Special to The Warder.) ‘ Forest, 0nt., May 14â€"(G.N.W.) â€"- The ,whole town was shocked this morning when the terrible announce- ment was made that Montague Smith of the banking firm of L. H. Smith - .Co., and Liberal candidate .ior East Lambton, had committed sui- cide. The act was committed about 8 o'clock in the lavatory at the rear of the .bank. When J. D. Living- stone, the accountant, came to the bank at' 8 a.m.. he found a letter on the desk addressed to himself in Mr. Smith's writing. which intimated the (lord.
