 OP THE 
 
 Burning of St. John's. N.F., July 8th, 1892. 
 
 '■»^» 
 
 The great fire of July 8th, 1892, which laid waste the 
 whole of the eastern portion of the city of St John'c 
 .•md by which over $20,0j0,000 worth of property wa.^ 
 destroyed, 12,000 people rendered homeless md several 
 lives lost, will long be remembered, and will mark an im- 
 portant period in the history of JS'ewfoundland. Just 
 before 5 o'clock, on the afternoon of Friday July the 
 8th, an alarm of fire was sounded, and the firemen, hurry- 
 ing to the scene of the outburst, found the flames proceed- 
 ing from the stable of Mr. T. Brien, at the head of Carter's 
 hill, on the Freshwater-road. Unfortunately, the water- 
 pipes were being cleaned that day, and though the water 
 was turned on again at 3 o'clock, it had not reached the 
 higher levels of the city when the fire started. The flames 
 therefore made headway before water was procurable, and, 
 as a very high westerly wind was furiously fanning the 
 fire, It began to spread rapidly. The locality was a most 
 densely populated one, containing a large number of resi- 
 dences of the laboring classes, and masses of glowing wood 
 blown hither and thither by the wind, set ablaze a number 
 of houses within an area of two hundred yards. By 6 
 o'clock an idea of the magnitude of the outbreak had spread 
 through the city, and a large crowd gradually assembled to 
 aid in the saving of property which was becoming en- 
 dangered, and to remove into places of safety the furniture 
 of the houses in close proximity. While it was seen that 
 the fire mus of more serious character than usual, no fears 
 
2 A DESCKIFIION OF THE BURNING 
 
 were enteitainea, oven at this time, for the safety of the citv 
 generally, nnd it was believed the stone buildini« of the 
 main streets would withstand the fury of the flames, so be- 
 yond assisting in the immediate neighborliood, nothoutrht 
 was given to the ereat portion of the town. The Church 
 ot J^.ngland CiitluMlral, and Gowor-streot Methodist Churcli 
 weremadH the receptacles of large quantities of vahmlilc 
 property, and the most cherished possessions of these 
 uiound were piled in these places of fancied security 
 About 6..30 two wings of flame were steadily descending 
 ttie hill the western one burning in a direct line down 
 Carter 8-hill to the water's edg<«, while the eastern swej)t 
 diagonally through Long's hill, swallowing everything in 
 its way I'ho Methodist College was situated on the east 
 sKle ot this hill and stood pre-eminent among the public 
 buildings of the city. It included a magnificent hall, fur- 
 nished with a .splendid and most valuable organ, the trift 
 of the late lamented Hon C. K. Ayre. The College wn« 
 one of the most thoroughly equipped educational estal)- 
 lisfiments in the country and was an object of much pride 
 to the denomination. Soon a thin column of smoke was 
 seen arising from the tower, and within a short time the 
 whole place was ablaze. The flames quickly spread 
 to the primary school and Methodist board ing-housj> 
 near, and to the magnitioent Masonic Temple which 
 crowned a rising eminence within a few yards. This hall 
 was erected only a few years ago at a cost of |40,000, and 
 was a noble evidence of the genevositv of the Fraternitv 
 in Newfoundland. A very short time sufficed to number 
 these edifices with the things of the past, and after wiping 
 away the Presbyterian Manse, the fire raged furiouslv 
 down the hill and quickly fostened on Gower-street Me- 
 thodist Church. Within a very short time this building 
 was a ruin .md the Parsonage was also in flames, together 
 with the Orange Hall, immediately opposite. But a few 
 yards oft" stood the Rectory of the Church of England 
 Cathedral, the residence of Bishop Jones, and directly 
 fronting It was the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the 
 Baptist Itself. Stretching forth its horrible tonc^ues the 
 hre quickly turned the Rectory and the Girl's 0?phanage 
 adjoining into a flaming mass, and with one fearful rush 
 the demon of fire seized upon the doomed Cathedral, and 
 
 sooner than tongue could tell the immonso odifir^ « r,^,»

 of ^othic architecture, the luunterpiece uf Sir Gilhurt 8uutt 
 jvudthe pride of every Newfoundlimdur, wivs v seething 
 luiws of tlivme. With a avmh, heuid, oven athove the din 
 of the elements the roof fell iu, au<l the result of the lid)orM 
 !ind offerings of generouu thousiiuda for niiiny yeiu's vnnirtli- 
 od in ft cloud of smoke ami dust. Having worked its will 
 upon the Cathedral, the fire uow rushed to the group of 
 buihlings congregated together at the foot of Church hill, 
 and soon 8t. Andrew's J^rosbyteriun Church, the Athemeum 
 i.nd the Court-houat^ were throwing masses of fire into tlu' 
 sky, though the Union Bank hmvely withstood the assaults 
 of the enemy. . The Presbyterian Church was value<l at 
 $30,000 ; the Athenajum, which contained a most beauti- 
 ful hall, a library of 5,000 volumes, th<; Surveyor Genoral'.^, 
 Government Engineer, 8uperintendaut of Fisheries' De- 
 partments iiud the Savings' Bank, at $59,000 ; and the 
 Court-house at $80,000. The Commercial Bank, not far 
 distant, succumbed i', few minutes later, and the Telegraph 
 offices had been consumed long before, the operators hav- 
 ing to fly from their keys, Communication was thus cut 
 off with the outside world. Consternation now seized th»! 
 populace ; they saw with terror that the atone edifices were 
 no more able to resist the attacks of the fire than the flim- 
 siest wooden structures, and those whose houses were en- 
 dunifered fled, panic-stricken and brei'.thless, beyond the 
 reach of the conflagration, with that which Wi;s most 
 valuable of their possessions. The western section 
 of the fire eat its way swiftly and surely 
 down to Water-street, throwing out, as it swept 
 along, offshoots which seized upon and con.-^umed the Star 
 of the Sea and Total Abstinence Halls, Tasker Terrace and 
 numerous other substantial buildings within that area. 
 The height of all the above-named important buildings 
 placed them in the direct power of the gale, and burning 
 masses of fire were blown incredible distances, to drop in 
 unexpected places, and render frantic the already be- 
 wildered people, Thus many places on Duckworth and 
 Water streets were ablaze before the intervening sections 
 caught, and Saint George's Barracks, on Signal-hill, about 
 two miles from the outbreak, Was burnt before the Court- 
 house. All along Water, Duckworth and Gower-streets 
 the residents were delugiiig the roofs of the'ir houses with

 situation would save it, and ovory [)roparation had 
 boon mado for its safety. A length of hose had boon laid 
 along the roof, and the Brothers, who workod heroically 
 1 hereon, directed all their ellbrts to the protection of its 
 western fruut, as tho fire worked its way up Garrison-hill. 
 For over an hour the une<iual tight continued, and at last 
 a small patch of fire stuck under tho overhanging wooden 
 cornice of a roof window, and tho water hoing unable to 
 reach it, the tlames cjuickly efl'eclod an entrance to tho 
 building. Its complete demolition was thenceforth a matter 
 of time, and within an hour it was a total ruin. The safety 
 of the Mercy Convent and with it Gorgostown, Monkstown 
 and the whole collection of magnificent structures which 
 compose tho headquarters of the Koman Catholic denomina- 
 tion, was threatened, but after a bravo light, the danger 
 was overcome. A few yards lower down a collection of 
 buildings on Kawliu's Cross, also jeopardised the abpve 
 flourishing suburbs, where numbers of those who had been 
 previously burned out had taken refuge, and, as the flames 
 gradually increased, in consequence of the burning of a 
 large liquor store at the Cross, the feelings of the multitude 
 may be better imagined than expressed. With the assistance 
 of many volunteers, the firemen and police succeeded, after
