The intense heat played havoc with the plate glass and inflammable mater- ial on the buildings on the opposite side of Yonge street, and on the north side of Temperance streat.

The roof was burned off and tons of water rushed down into the basement. LOSS WILL BE 50,000. Mr. John Eaton, who manages the establishment, was seen while the fire waa still in progress. He stated that there never was a time when the firm had less stock on hand than they had before the fire. The greater part of their spring stock had been sola out, while the summer goods were still in the customs houses. He estimates the loss, therefore, at not more than $250,- NO BRbiGiing "Batis: s~ ye, probable ing»and contents were fully insured, ut at the early hour Mr. Eaton could not recollect the names of the com- panies. id SHE CANNOT BE AROUSED.

The victim is > Lauferman,. of 80 West eet, Covington, and she has cataleptic state since last orning. miferman is 33 years of age e wife of an express driver. Sun- day morning she complained of feel- ing tired and determined to lie in bed longer than usual. She was fast asleep at.noon, and her husband's efforts to awaken her were ineffectual. No alarm was felt, however, until in the after- moon, when more vigorous attempts to arouse her failed to have the slightest effect. Then Dr. Kelly was 3] 0; . bA A tee ee © physician found that the woman JM @erue cataleptic condition. The pupils ofvher eyes were distended to wHusual degree. Her skin was as White as alabaster and soft and wax. like to the touch. Experiments show- ed that she was totally unconscious. She displayed no sign of pain when her hands and feet were pricked with a needle. From that time until the present there has been absolutely no change in her condition. Her breath- ing is regular, pulse normal, and, whiie repeated efforts have shown that sti- mulants may be administered, the strongest medicine is wholly without effect. | yeti el ict bar
