spectacular fire destcoys famous shrine at ste anne ste anne do beaupre que nov 8 half a million dollars is the loss sustained by the order of the redoxnp- torist fathers guardians of the shrino of ste anne from the con flagration which for the second time within four years destroyed their church with practicaey all its treas ures and most of its relics the firo broke out around 1 oclock this morning and before adequate effort could be directed towards light ing it the sacred structure was a mass of smoking ruins but as if to inspire faith that the destruction of material things did not mean destruction of things spiritual the famous relic of ste anne upon which the entire raison detre of the shrine is centred was saved from the flames this was found in a vault in the sacristy some what scorched but otherwise intact several valuable paintings and sta tues wore saved but the ancient bell and the statue to which the faithful attributed all the miraculous cures were totally destroyed the loss of this venorated statue is considered to bo irreparable there were no casualties although a panic in the nearby hospital in which wore a number of patients was narrowly averted by the nurses and the attaches some of tho feebler are aid tonight to be in a serious con dition due to shock the origin of the blaze has not yet been determined and the suddenness with which it broke out and spread cannot be explained the first notifi cation of it was given by ono of tho brothers of the rcdemptorist order who was awakened by tho smell of smoke he made his escape from the burning church with difficulty arid roused the other members of the order in a few minutes the whole church was ablaze thousands of people from the town and surrounding villages thronged to the scene of the conflagration but they were able to render little aid beyond saving those articles that bad not yet fallen prey to the flames atd was summoned from quebec 22 miles away and sev eral units of the citys firefighting force woro despatched posthaste to ste anne they were unable to save the basilica however and could only restrict their efforts to preventing tho spread of the flames the church was a temporary struc ture used pending the completion of the new basilica that is being erected to replace the one which was destroyed by fire in march 1922 beyond a scorching of the walls of the new church which stands adjacent to the burned building the material loss to it was little when tho outbreak was first noticed smoke was belching from the windows in huge volumes and the crackling of the flames the glare of which at times flashed through the heavy black clouds of smoke to the accompaniment of crashing timbers as the interior of the building crumbled to ruin were suffi cient indications that to attempt to penetrate into the edifice would be unavailing and mean certain death all the priests and the crowd which soon gathered could do was to stand by in consternation and look on with broken hearts while the fire ravaged the church and destroyed its treas ures indeed it looked as though the entire village would be destroyed rm markets toronto man wheat no 1 north 150
