One of the worst fires in the history of Prince Edward Island occurred last night at. Falconwood Hospital, hous- ing the insane patients of the Province. The main section- of the building, at the time of writing, is ln flames, with the west wing and main section completely destroyed.

Three fatalities among the patients are reported.

The financial loss is estimated at about a quarter of a million dollars. This loss may well be doubled if the en- tire building is destroyed, as it is feared likely.

Although the City firemen were on the scene as promptly as possible, they found it impossible to do any-fflzlzalviragzgdxifie 221313355: thing to check the flames, the water supply being totally. o, CHIN“ Jack Wilkins‘: Arthur

He was an instrument in the hands of God and as such would endeav- or to carry on His glory, and the Spiritual and Temporal Welfare of all those under his charge. Vespers, Rosary and Benediction were held at six o"clock and were also well attended. Father MacDonald is suc- ceeded in St. Mark's by Rev. Phelari McKenna formerly of Tignlsh.
