HALIFAX, N. 8., Sept. 15.-A shift of
wind saved Halifax from destruction by
Are today. Nevertheless the city suffered
a loss of 1500,000 In the business part of the
water front and the progress of the flames
was only stayed by the dynamiting of a
iosen buildings by the sailors from the
fleet and soldiers from the garrison.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon,
when the Are was at Its height and a fear
ful southerly gale was pushing It straight
toward the heart of the business center,
consternation reigned throughout the en
tire city. Shortly after 4 o'clock, however,
the wind suddenly shifted to the west and
turned the flames along the wharves and
warehouses.
There the Are raged on lower Water street
practically beyond control until 7 o'clock,
when 200 sailors with torpedo apparatus
landed from the H. M. S. Ariadne and In
defatigable, and with the assistance of 200
troops from the garrison, checked further
progiess by removing, with the aid of dyna
mite, a dozen small buildings.
The Are consumed six wharves, two ooal
piers, two hotels, a dozen warehouses and
a number of retail shops.
During the Are a large tree fell, killing
Flora Ring, aged 28 years of age, and in
juring two others.
One flreman was fatally Injured by a live
kire, while another was badly hurt by fall

The burned district, which covered about
two acres, was one of wooden buildings
three and four stories high, many of them
built years ago when Halifax merchants
dealt heavily In fish. The buildings 'were
saturated with fish oil and burned fiercely.
