The women fxvcre crying‘and laughing in turn, and the little chil- dren. tired-eyed, sat in fear. The kindly friars did all~ in their power to comfort by spiritual and physical food. But, down in the valley not. 30 yards away, the fire raged wildly. and the sparks fell in the gag-den like huge flakes of snow touched By a. set- ting sun. .t There is a ridge of land here upon which the monhstery 0! St. Jean Bap- tiste Church stands as guardians, and from 7 o'clock last night till mid- night this ridge ‘was on the edge of the fire line. and it seemed as i! it was the natural barrier, stopping the course of the fire that had swept without resistance from Hull through the flats below, wiping out Roches- terville and Hintonburg and the GP. R. station, and rolling stock and the lumber company betWeen. From the ridge the spectacle prwented was har- rowing. Arbund one the homeless people wept over their losses, which were all too visible before one's eyes. Away to the southwest at the dam, the side of the Experimental farm, the Montreal brigade with two en- gines were working to protect J. R. Booth's lumber yards. This was a cruical point. for if the lqmberyurds “ere burned the fire would sweep around and envelope the south ‘part of the city, and if the' wind changed, there would be no Ottawa. Hence the firemen worked heroically and successiully. , (’Illwl Fire Engine: Burned.

Lord Mintov§vas an interested spec- tator o! the scene. The scene, direct- ly to the west, was awful and pic- turcsque. What had been the thriving villages of Rochesterville, Mount Sherwood, Westboro. Hintonburg and Brittania. were now blazing blotches 01 fire. Millions of dollars were lost. Grim Talon Told. A woman near by said: “Why, the fire was tWO blocks away and I thought it would never reach us, but in five minutes we had to skip. This is all I brought. with me." and she pointed to a small grip. Grim tales were told by policemen and firemen, as they looked towards the west. There was yesterday morning a woman's refuge and chil- dren'e retreat to the' west. There was none last night. “'oro Many Lives Loot? 4 And a big burly policeman said he helix-ed there were 25 women and children burned before they eOuld get to a. place of safety. This seems aw- ful. but no one who watched the rapid spread of the fire will doubt it. No one could verify it. The whole truth will not be known for days, and when the truth comes it will stun the whole country.’ "Two other policemen coming up said they lsclieyéd it was true.

He was leading his men in the attack upon the fire in Eddy's paper mills, when a beam fell upon him. “All manner of stories are going the rounds.

It is reported that Chief Benoit is still alive, though bound to die. Dr. Glashan had a. narrow escape yesterday. He was in the Wellington street school in the flats, attempting to stop the fire, when the building was enveloped. in flames. The care- taker rushed in and brought Dr. Glas- han out, but the doctor was fairly blinded with smoke, and the. fire- men had to play the hose on the two men because they were covered With sparks.
