DISASTROUS FIRE.
1 1 ■ 1 A COOL OPERATOR. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 1, 5.5 p.m. Melbourne, December 1. A fire in the Post Office block in Bourke street caused much excitement yesterday evening. It originated through an explosion in the rooms of the Williams Film Company, and spread to Sutton Bros.' Music Warehouse, the Albion Hotel dining-rooms, and a dressmaker's rooms 1 , where a large number of girls were working. The police experienced difficulty in getting the girls out, owing to a panic. Several men jumped from the windows and were injured. One named Harry Martin fractured his skull. The outbreak was subdued in an hour. The chief loser is the Williams Company, who lost a quantity of valuable films, and photographic material. An operator belonging to the film secured a picture of the fire.
