Show FOREIGN. Disastrous Couflugratioii, St. Johns, X. B., 14. A fire broke out this morning in the Allen foun-f dry, at Carlton, on the west side o the harbor, and continued to burn fiercely until the foundry, with some twenty other dwellings, were entirely consumed, leaving thirty families homeless. Steam fire engines have been sent for from St. Johns to assist in subduing the flames. A strong w esterly wind is blowing. The tide is falling and fears are entertained that the water will leave the slips before the fire is got under control. The loss will be heavy. |
