The accident, happening to the same train, with the same conduct-01‘ and in the same locality, aroused great interest locally. and wild rumors were soon flying, which, happily, were easily dis- pelled by official tidings thait the passengers and train crew were safe. Burning embers carried by the draft created by the flames flew through 'the air. The Rossniore was soon a seething furnace, with no possibility of being saved, and cf: forts were turned by the firemen in other directions. The flames spread to the Colquhoun block a’nd the upâ€" per portion of this was quickly gut- ted In both the Rossmore and (.‘olquhoun buildings were several business establishments, which sufâ€" fered heavily, either through the fire or the flééd of water whiéh was poured in.

The night clerk claims to have found fire while on his hourly rounds, when, as he- stepped from the kitchen to the rotunda, he was met with a burst of fire that swept up the main stairway.

Cool heroism on the part of Wilâ€" liam Fitzgibbon, president; of the C‘Gi‘nwall Lacrosse Club, resulted in the saving of several lives. Aroused by the watchman’s out- cry he woke up young Fielding and showed him how he might escape. Fielding, however, became con- fused and, trying to get out. by the regular exit, was suffocated. Fitz- gibbon then broke a skylight above the servants’ quarters and by means of a ladder managed to bring thrce of the diningâ€"room girls to the ruof, whence all fled to salâ€" ety in their nightclothes. 86.40.
