Large Gasomeler on Harbor Sireet Exploded, A despatch from Montreal says: Early Saturday monrning Montreal was star tied as if by an earthquake, the result of & terrific explosion caused by the blow- ing up of 500,000 cubic feet of gas. One ol the gasometers at the East-end station of the Montreal Light; Heat and Power 'Campany on Harbor Stréel, exploded with' a thunderous reporl, "and 'the sirangest part of it all is that not one 'ol the company's workmen was killed or even. slightly injured. The gisometer is a total wreck. The iron work is twist. &l as if by some giant hand, and only a few fool of the sixty-foot wall is left standing. Hundreds of thousands of kricks are lying around, and all have fallen fo the und within & radius 'of tery yaids of the outer. wall of the gas- holder.

The damage is' placed at $30,000. nn Nm CONVENT PREY TO FLAMES. Fine Structure at St. Remi, Quebec, Was! Totally Destroyed. A despaich from The Convent of.
