Fires in Sydney.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyr'ght Sydney, July 12.
The firing of charges of dynamite to destroy the walls of Anthony Hordern’s building was carried out at midnight. The police had difficulty in keeping back the large crowd that assembled. The work was only partially successful. The dynamite destroyed some of the walls, but others and a chimney stack are still standing, and aro in a dangerous condition. Flying debris broke a few windows and inflicted slight injuries on one or two of the crowd. Received July 13, 1.11 a.m. Svdnev, July 12.
The demolition of Hordern’s is proving a slow and dangerous work—continued dislocation of the tram traffic is seriously interfering with the interstate telegraphic lines.
