Twenty-Eight Build- ings Razed — Many Lose‘ Their All — Aged Man Burnt to Death.

lllATtAiPEDlA Que, June 19.—A conflagratlop which swept through this pretty village yesterday left. in its trail the dead body of J. Guidry, an octogenarian shoemaker who was burnt to death. and the smould- ering ruins of twenty-eight or the principal buildings in the settle- moot.

The entire section of the village situated 0n the south shore of the ‘Reetigouche River has "been laid waste. There remained standing this morning but the C. N. R. Sta- tion with the railway buildings in the immediate vicinity and the ‘liestlgouche cluib house. The damages are estimated at nearly $200,000.

The fire raged with such viol- ence. fanned by tremendous wind, that in less than two hours practic- nlly the entire village wias turned into a roaring furnace. Sparks from the buildings on fire iwere taarried a long distance away and outbreaks occurred" in several dif- ferent places at. the same time, so that the volunteer fighters did not have the slightest chance to co-pe with the situation.

J. Guidry, 84, who had managed lo escape from his home when it was threatened with destuction, nlet his death when, in spite of all that could be done to prevent him, he entered the building when it was already in flames to save a sum of money which he had left in ‘the pocket of one of his gar- ments. He managed to get inside his shop but when he tried to get out again he found his escape cut oif by a. wall of flame. Shortly af- ler the old man had made his wild dash into his home the ‘roof of the structure collapsed. After the ruins had cooled sufficiently to al- low a search to be made, the body of Guidry was found in the debris.

Several of the victims of the con- liagration lost all their furniture and personal belongings. Only a

small portion of the loss is cover-v

Oil by insurance.

Those who were rendered home- less by the great fire were taken cure of by the residents of the vill- age whose homes are still standing outside‘ of the ruined section or ivllili. only a few hours before, had been a prosperous and contented little country settlement.

Vessel Buried By Heavy Seas About 12 Miles West of St. Peter's Island-Doors and Windows Smashedin by Giant Waves-Fe r 0f the Crew Were Saved.

LPICTOU, N. S., June 10.—-iSix men were drowned when the dredge Ferguson was caught in a RillB list night and capsized about 12 miles west of St. Peter's island. Four of her crew were saved, The Fer- guson left Pictou Thursday morn- ing for Tormentlne, N. 13.. in.tow of the tug (Jealopolls.

Percy Emberley, Pictou, fireman, land Russel Landry. Plctou, deck. hand.

The Ferguson began her fatal trip about nine o'clock and around ten p.m. the storm broke, causing the dredge to turn turtle without giving her grew sufficient warning to make their escape. "

The heavy seas smashed in the doors and windows despite Captain

|Iviartin's desperate but vain efforts to keep his vessel steady and in a very few minutes the dredge turn- ed over on its side and was buried ‘ibeneath the waves, taking with it the majority of her crew. The su-iftness of the accident preclud- ed the dredge front using a boat she bud in tow and made it im- possible for her to signal the tug- boat which might have saved the entire crew.

The four men managed to evade rtbe fate of their fellow seamen due to the fact that they had been for- tunate enough to don lifebelts and were excellent swimmers, being in the rough seas for an hour before the Coalopolis could rescue them. The tug remained at the scene of the accident ull night but what faint hopes they may have had were dissipated when the morning light revealed nothing but wreck- age.

ing the committee stitge ni‘ the Es- timates. Mr MacDonald, (Kings); 1 was not present when the items for Prince. Edward Island were being passed a few nights ago, and }l would like-to ask the minister now with respect to the wharf at Georgetown in that province. Strong representations have been mode by the Potato Growers‘ As- sociation of I‘. i5. I. with regard tn the ziecossity of frost proofing the warehouse there. This is not an ordinary cxpcntliture. it is an ex- penditure that would appeal to the

lund; it is more valuable than any other port for lute shipping. The warehouse has been rebuilt at coli- uiderable expense (luring the past two or three years, but it is of very little value, comparatively span-king, unless it is frost proof- cd. The reason for that is that the growing of seed potatoes is be- coming quite a large industry in Prince Edward island, and a great many of t-hese potatoes go by steamer to the southern United States, where they are required about the month of January. If we hud that warehouse frost proofed it would be possible to load the potatoes on the steamers at Georgetown from two to four weeks later than at any other port in the province. They could do into in Iiocovnbtar to ihn southern states and ilc distrlbutvil direct to the growers for send, thereby eav- ing n grout (lcal o.‘ money in lllC handling. This is a. mutter of vory great. importance to the prov- ince. und l would usk tho minister l1‘ ho has considered it. und wliothor there will be an item lll the supplementary estimates this year for that purpose.

good wharf at that point, and have improved the shed accommoda- tion. it is true that we have not made that shed frost proof. as 1 think it should be. for the accom- modation of the farmers in the handling of their potatoes. but I would point out that at the pre- sent time the railway is on the narrow gauge.

standardization work ls going on. and the information we have now is that it will be completed by about September this year. So that if the warehouse is to b made available for shipping this season it would be necessary to have an item in the supplementary estimates this year so that the work could be gone on with.

There is just one other matter to which I wish to refer, and that is what is known as Lewis point pier at Cardigan. It is the only pub- lic wharf in that harbor. Nothing has been done to.it for eighcor lten years and it has got now into such a state that it is of no value for shipping. There are three pri- rate whurves there. but their owners are not keeping them up to any grout oxtcilt. It is important that the government should con- sider wharf improvement at that point. This wharf has got into such n bud state of disrepair that it would cost a lot of money to re- pair it, and my suggestion would ht- that our oi the other private wbarves, which nre better situat- ed. could be bought very cheaply, and the Lewis point pier might be removed. One of these other wharves qould be obtained for about four or five thousand dol- lars, possibly less._ and it would give all the accommodation re- quired. 1 have no doubt that the minister has a report from his en- gineer on this matter, and I would urge that if at all possible some item be put in the estimates for repairing the present wharf or sc- quiring one of the others.
