A GREAT FIRE. LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS, THE SUF- ESTIMATED TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE HOME- LESS, I.Y NN, Mass,, Nov. 26.—Lynn, the city of shoes, was this afternoon visited by the greatest tire in its history, and with two exceptions the conflagration is the most disastrous which ever vis- ited New England. The exceptions are the great Boston fire of 1872, which destroyed nearly one hundred million dollars worth of property, and the Portland fire of 1868, which caused a loss of between ten and twelve millions, To-day’s lire started at 11.55 a. w., raged over eight hours, devastated a square mile of the business section of the city, and caused a loss estimated at ten millions. In fact, the greater part of Ward 418 wiped out as regards Lhe important shoe manufacturing blocks and prominent places of business. The tire started in Mower's wooden bulld. ing, Almond street, over the boiler, and spread with such rapidity that the excellent Fire Department of the city was powerless to cope with it, This large wooden build ing was soon doomed, and the Hawes leaped across a NAITOW passage way and communicated with the six- story brick block koown as Mower's block. When these two buildings got well under way 1t was evident that a terrible conflagration would result, Almost simullaneously the four-story wooden shoe factory of Bennett & Dar- nard, on Central avenue, and the four- story wooden building on Almond street caught fire, and, when under ; way, a hurricane of flames was in pro- gress, which blanched the cheeks of all who were looking on. For eight hours the flames had full sway, the efforts of firemen and citi zens seemingly being of no avail, al thougl, of course, they did valliant work. The burned territory is bounded by the following streets: Almond Central avenue, at its junction, with Wiliow; Union street, from Its juoc- tion with Dioad, to the Boyden block on both wmides; Mount Vernon street entire, Central Square entire, Beach street on both sides as far down as Lee's lumber yard, Washington street, from Mouoroe through to Union; Rail- road avenue, all of Exchange street, Broad street, from the engine house, on both sides, up as far as the corner o! Exchange; Spring street entire, be- sides dwelling bouses too numbers to mention ou Suffolk, Amity, Sagamore wand Beach streets, Aid arrived from Poston, Salem, Marblehead and surrounding towns, but their un‘ted efforts seemed to have little effect on the hurricane of fame. Scenes of the great Boston and Chicago fires were 1epeated in all their horrors, mothers fleeing with babes in their arms and express wagons loading at business and dwelling houses and tran- feiring goods to a place of safely, in many cases a second removal being | NICessary. After the fire had been in progress two hours everybody declared it would not stop until it reached the ocean. So 1t looked, and so it proved to be. Four daily pewspapers are burned out, the Item, the Bes, the Press and News, three afterncon and one morning pa- pers. Three national banks, the Cen- tral, Security and First National, to- gether with the Lynan lustitution for Savings, located in the First National block, are all wiped out. Twelve of the finest shoe blocks In the city are in ruins and about 25 stores. At this writing it Is Impossible to state how many dweiling houses are burned, but they were mostly occupied by the poor class, in the vicinity of Beach street and the wharves, It is mpossible to give any estimate on insurance, but conservative estimates place the loss on property at $10,000,000. Lynx, Mass, Nov. 26.—About 8 P. M. the conflagration was under control, pot because of any human agency, but because the open walter was reached. ‘I'he ruins cover at least 50 acres, and some observers put it as high as 60, Streets are lost in huge piles of debris, and there is an open hole in the heart of the eity a half a mile long, and a third wide. Upward of 250 buildings, dwellings and business houses are bur- ned out. At the lowest calculation 300 busi- pess men have suffered. At least 3500 employes are out of work, most of whom are employed In the shoe shops. Thirty-five per cent. of these are females, Mayor Newhall to-night reports that 200 people are homeless, and calls for ald. ~Two miners named White and Hull, were fatally Injured on the morning of the 20th by a coal car running back on them In a mine near Washington, Pa.

ESTIMATED LOSS, FOUR MILLIONS, w= TWO EIREMEN REILLED. Boston, Nov. 28,—The most disast- rous fire from which Boston has suffer- ed since 1872, and one which in prop- erty loss more than rivals the great con- flagration at Lynn on Tuesday, broke out at 8.20 this morning in the six story granite building, owned by Jor- dan, Marsh & Co., and occupled by Brown, Durrell & Co., dealers in dry good, on Bedford streel, corner of Kingston. The first alarm rung in to-day was immediately followed by the first gen- eral alarm in Boston since 1872 To- day's conflagration raged for six hours, burned over two acres of territory covered by maguificent structures and entailed a loss estimated at $4,000,000, The street playing the most promi- nent part in the fire was Bedford, from the Harrison avenue extension east ward across Chauncey, Kingston and Columbia streets, almost to the junce tion of Sumner and Lincoln. It was near the latter point that the fire started working its way west, There are about 200 firms burned out, and 100 agents of New York and Western firms have had their head. quarters destroyed. The 79 insurance companies known to be Interested carry an aggregate insurance of $2 600,000 on the burned property. The total loss, according to the atest conservative es- timates, will reach $4,000 000, Two firemen, Danlel Buckley, un- married and Frank P. Loker, who has a wife and child, have been missing since early this morning. They were last seen in the Brown Durrell building and their bodies are believed to be in the ruins of that structure, Several firemen who saw them in the building report an explosion of bot air, and their own narrow escape, and are of the opinion that the missing men were overcome and unable to save them- selves, SNOW AND RAIN. THE PRINCIPAL DAMAGE SUSTAINED BY BRAIDROAD COMPANIES, ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 28.-—The Troy local trains on the New York Central Road were all delayed this afternoon and to night by land slides at the clay embankmesct just balow the Troy Iron Works, At 10 o'clock this morning the first slide occurred, the bank settling down over the east track.

Inder sleep, NANQE, ———————— Nance Williams was not beautiful, in the ordinary sense of the word, She was sunburned and freckled and her nose had too much the suggestion of a snub to be an ornament, But she had fine eyes—not large, but small, ex. pressessive and fringed with heavy black lashes, She was a strong-limbed, well-developed and hearty girl of 22, or thereabouts at the time of this story, and was known to the Skytown ecom- munity as a fearless woman, and no less peculiar than brave, Peculiar, indeed! She had no rela tives that any one knew of, and was all alone way out in that western country, and for « woman to be alone In Da- kota, In '82.3, and especially *‘hold- ing down a claim” ten miles from any one,’ presented a spectacle of self-sacri- fice and daring, rarely exhibited by the gentle sex, But Nance was equal to the emer gency. If she had a heart to dare, she bad an arm all-suflicient for her pro- tection. She could handle a gun with the skill and ease of a professional ranger, and had more than once dem- onstrated ber superb marksmanship, 1 have seen her break the wildest of broncos to the saddle, and by a score of similar acts proclaim berself the mis tress of her situation, Yet, with all her masculine quali. ties, she was feminine to the greatest degree in some of the sweeler virtues of her sex. She was ready-witted, bright and tender-hearted, and when- ever she came into the store to trade it was a treat for me to draw her out in conversalion, She was usually very reserved, but from time fo time I gleaned a few facts concerning ber early life, She was born in California. There was a tinge of Indian blood in her mother’s veins and ber father was a miner-—a “forty miner.” Her whole life bad been thrown in the most rug- god surroundings, aud 1 could not but wonder how she had grown up into her scathless womanhood, She was a dia. mond in the rough—1I could see that and I gloried In it, but how she supported herself and why she buried herself away out in that lonely region afar from womankind and civilization were mysteries to us all, Along in the summer of "83 a young fellow from the east came to Skytown and settled down among us, He was a pale, sickly individual, slightly builg, bad blue eyes, curly yellow hair and wore goggles. He was very refined in his language and dress and carried him- self with such scholarly air that he was immediately christened ‘‘Professor.” His father, he told me, had sent him West for his health, He bad come to Dakota with the avowed intention of roughing it, and wanted me to advise him the proper method for seeing the greatest amount of pioneer life in the shortest possible time, 1 advised him to take up a clalmn, roll up his sleeves and do as we Dakotians did. He fol- lowed my advice to the letter. I intro- duced him to Charley Atwood and he purchased of him the relinquishment of a fine quarter of a ground, three miles from town, remodeled the shack a lit. tle to suit his convenience and started in to experience Dakota life, In some manner he became acquainted with Nance Williams and they grew to be steadfast friends. I knew their friend. ship was warm, but did not dream it was 80 stroog as after events proved, One night about 8 or 9 o'clock, Nance Williams came into the store, She approached me and said in a low tone: ‘I'd like ter speak with you, Mr. Bar- low,” 1 was somewhat surprised, but conducted Ler to my little cubby-hole of an office. . ‘What do you supposes Rice Fields ing, Tom Jenkins an’ all that guog are goin’ to do to-night?’ ‘1 cannot imagine, Miss Williams,’ mid 1, in a tone of alarm. ‘They're over at Spangler's plottin’ to beat the Professor out 0’ his claim!’ ‘You don’t tell mel’ ‘I do, though, You see, the Profes. sor 1s out o' town, an’ that gang knows it, so they're goin’ to try and steal his place. ‘But they can’t! “They say they can. They say they'll try it an’ give the tenderfoot a big scare, anyway. Why, I never heard of such an outrage?’ WL ‘How do they intend to go to work to get the Professor's claim? they'd take along a keg of whisky an’ move into his shack an’ stay there, They're goin’ up to-night, They won't have any time to-morrow ‘cause the Professor’ll get back then, You know he went to Jimtown Tuesday, Can’t you do somethin’, Mr. Barlow?’ ‘The law won't uphold them, Misgn? Bhe snapped her fingers, ‘That for the law! I tell you these fellers shan’t get into the Professor's shack If I can help 18.’ Bhe drew herself together like an angry Amazon and her eyes were twin coals of fire, ‘I beg of you don’t be rash, Miss Willlams, Remember There came a chorus of yells from Spangler’s, Nance Williams listened a moment, ‘Hear that,’ she raid harshly, ‘they're gettin’ ready to go. It's time 1 was movin’, You mark my words Mr, Barlow, thel roressor’s claim is safe— Nance Williams says so, She rushed out of the store and away into the night, Shouts and yells eame from Spaug- ier's, and not long before Nance had goue a drunken rabble rode by the store in the direction she had taken. I felt certain something of a serious nature was threatened, so, as soon as [ could leave the store, I saddled my horse and followed, Tom Jenkin’s gang bad a haif-hour the start of mefand I put my horse the run in order that I might be on hand with #8 little delay as possible, As my borss clattered over the bridge that spanned the Pipestem, [ heard a succession of faint rifle shots from the direction of the Professor’s claim, ‘My God,” Iecried, ‘the girl will be killed!” and 1 lashed my horse to grea- ter speed, It had never occurred to me that I would be helpless in an encounter with the drunken rabble, I had thought of nothing but getting upon the ground in the quickest possible time, for it was more than probable that Nance Wil- liams would be alone at the mercy of the crowd, As 1 drew nearer and nearer my destination 1 heard cries from time to time, and my nerves were all a tremble with excitement and ap- prehension, When I came close to the Professor's claim shanty, however, I realized that Nance Willlams was in no immediate danger for the men, some ten or twelve in number, stood counselling together. From thelr loud talk I gleaned that they had met with a disappointment-they had thought that the Professor was in Jimtown, while they had found him in the shack on hand to protect his property. ‘What's the matter, boys?’ I quired, springing from my horse, ‘It's Barlow,’ said Tom Jenkins to his associates in a Jow and not very de. lighted voice, Then, advancing to- ward me, he asked: ‘What do you want, Ike Barlow?’ “To see fair play,’ said I promptly; ‘what are you fellows here for?’ *"T'ain’t nothin’ to you. You go back to town an’ leave us alone,’ While I was bharangring Tom Jen- kins, Rice Fielding, his partner, tried to steal up to the door of the bouss, Ie had gone barely hall w y, however, when a rifle was thrust through a partly-open window and fired in his direction. The bullet whistled uncom- fortably near him, and Rice retreated with more haste than gracefulness, ‘No use, Rice,’ saad Tow Jenkins; ‘the feller means business, There's only one way to get at him, an’ that's to burn him out.’ ‘Look bere,’ I cried excitedly; ‘have you men any idea of the crime you are perpetrating? This outrage— There were several derisive yells from the crowd and I could see they were Loo much bent upon mischief to be influenced by me, *Say, Barlow, you krow as well as 1 do that Charley Atwood hadn’t no right to jump that claim in the first place, That there place belongs to me an’ Tom, an’ the rest of the fellers are goin’ to help me get it back, 80 you Just keep mam an’ get out o’ the way.’ Ah, that was the idea! It was a fact that, the quarter had onginally been filed on by Rice Fielding, but he never went near it and wade no pretention of living up to the law, consequently it became jumpable, ana Charley Atwood had taken advantage of the fact, Al the while Atwood held the place Field- ing had made no move to get it back, but now that the Professor had bought it a fancied wrong tangled in Fielding’s breast, In this view of the case I thought best not to tell the men they were battling against a woman. Going to the rear of the house where there were no windows or doors through which a rifle could be fired, preparations were made to burn the building. A billet of wood was sate urated with the oil of a lantern one of the men had brought, and, Nght. ing this torch and taking an arm. ful of straw, Rice Fielding ap- proached to burn the 'rofessor's shack, Before he put the plan lato operation, however, a figure appeared on the roof of the house. Standing aloft, stern and undaunted, upon the flat roof, Nance Williams covered Rice Fiekiing with her rifle, : ‘Not another step, in. dR Ee aR ie Ingly, ‘another inch or you're a dead i ‘Good Godl’ yelled Fielding, ‘it’s Nance!’ There she stood erect as a statue—a target for a dozen guns!’ ‘Nance Williams!’ I eried, ‘for God’s sake come down,’ ‘If they take the Professor's claim they walk over my dead body fer get it. What are you goin’ to do, Rice Fielding?’ ‘Don’t shoot boys, Nance, put up your gun—I'll quit. In heaven's name don’t stand there,’ ‘I'll stand here till every last one of you gits acrost the Pipestem, Now, you fellers move or I'll shoot you any- how!’ : Well, they ‘moved,’ and I never saw such a dismayed lot of men as mounted their horses and rode toward Skytown. They were not tous much inebriated to realize that twelve men bind made war on one woman, and they went Lack conscious of defeat, But what ailed Fielding! Art the very climax of his expedition he had weakened, What caused it? Nance Williams happened to be In the store two or three days after and I asked her, ‘Huh!’ said she, contermmptuously, ‘he wants me ter marry him, an’ I'd see him dead an’ buried afore I'd stoop so low as that after what he tried to do to the Professor.’ She paused a moment, and I saw a tear steal down her cheek. ‘I never liked but one feller in my life, Mr, (Barlow, an’ Bill—he died, 1'll tell you ‘bout him sometime. Good by.’ She left the store in a hurry. ‘Women are women the world over,’ thought I, and I pitied poor Nance from the bottom of my heart, A Pitiable Story, Judge Cowing Tempered Justice with mercy the other day in a way that the public will heartily approve. It was in the case of a wretched woman who admitted stealing some articles of clothing and pawning them under truly pitiable circumstances, ber husband baving got out of work and having pawned first Lis clothes and then his tools, and she herself having pawned most of her clothing, When her hus. band learned of ber crime he tried hard to earn money enough lo redeein the stolen articles, The woman appeared in court with an infant four weeks oid. She pleaded guilty to petit iar. ceny and the husband to receiving stolen goods, As Judge Cowing was con vinced that the theft was committed under compulsion of hunger, he sent. enced them to one day’s imprisonment in the Tombs, A more pitiful story is not often heard in our eriminal courts. Our charitable institutions say that it is impossible for any one to starve in New York. This case shows that people may come very close to it, how- ever, And the practical question arises: What became of these people after their one day's imprisonment? What has been done to help them tide over present difficulties and find the husband work. pr —————— How tO Rescue the Drowning. A noted swimmer In answer to the question: “What is the Dest course fo pursue in auding people who are drowning,” says: “Take them by the back hair and hold them at arm length, I've noted one thing about drowning people. When they are sinking the first time if they see you and they rise again they know where to grapple with you, and the result is you both go down to- gether, with a strong probability that you will be drowned. It is my advice, that if you go to rescue a drowning per- son you should swim around him and keep behind him, 80 he won't see you when he comes Gp the second time, Another thing whenlgoing to a person's rescue try to gain his confidence, It is a fact that one finger placed under a swimmer’s body will keep him afloat ir you can only get him to believe 11."
