Boston, November 9. Midn
The rrcatcst Ere ever known in New
England is new raging
large wLoksale store
anion,;
in the verv
heart of the business portion of the
citv, and it will not cea.-e until it
reaches the wharves.
There was hardly a breath of wiud
stirring when the alarm was sounded,
about bail past seven o cioclc, follow-
ed bv a second, third aad fourth in
rapid succes--Jon. But the first engine
was hardlv on the ground w hen "the
fire broke out from the fourth storv of;
a Iare Tan:te store on the corner of;
Summer and Kingston street, oecu-!
pied ia the Grsttorv bv Tebbet i
Baldwin and Davis, wholesale drT!M1,"'a uan.gr 01 tneir lives, tne
goods dealer. It had caught in the
enziue room, and the flames snread
with lightning rapidit v up the lare
elevator and were first seen climbing!
underneath the wood work of the
roof The eneines were fairly at
at
work before any other store had
caught The buildings in the vicinity
were of granite, four stories high,
and each surmounted with a Mansard
roof, none of them being over five
years old. Detached spiinteis flew
read'dy, as the air was heated by the
terrible heat and soon the flames
i began licking the Mansard roof on
the opposite side, far above the reach
of the streams directed upon it from
all quarters. The fire was constantly
in the air, and oue building after an
other caught on the roof and the
flames skipped lightly along from one
window to another, so that in less
than thirty minutes every check was
blanched, as it became evident that
the whole city in one direction was at
the mercy of the flame, which were
lapping gaily from roof to roof and
from one building to another. The
second building to succumb was di
rectly opposite to that in which the
fire first broke out, and was occupied
by MaSn, Mullen fc Elms. Harding
Bros. & Co., Bo wen, Moore Co.,
George Lide, Carter k Co., and
Conant Bros., ail wholesale dealers ia
dry and fancy goods. This was at
the corner of Otis place. The heat
now became infernal. The streets
ran rivers of water and every moment
was heard the sound of granite blocks
exploding and whole frames falling in
the streets, making them impassable.
The firemen were driven from cne
station to another, and many an en
gine was kept nobly at work, bile
the hydrant was wet down by a hand
hose, and the engineer could only
hold his place while a ttreamof water
was kept plavin; upon bun. Llock;-
of granite weighingtons were split as
if by powder aad burled across wide
street?, and planks went flying
through the air as rf they were
feathers. The firemen erected barri
cades and worked behind them, but
they were burned almost f 3 soa as
erected.
An hour Lad hardly elapsed before
it was evident that Beebe'a block, the
finest business structure in the city,
built of granite, five stories in height,
with the cursed Mansard roof over
all, must go. Wuhin thirty minutes
the flames were coming out5 in fire
billows from every window and up
the stair-way leading to A. T.
Stewart's rooms was a perfect column
of Camcs. This building served but
ah fuel for the flames. Pieces of dry
goods went whistling across the
square, lodging on window sills of
magnificent stores on Devonshire
street Becbe's block stood a solid
wall of granite several minutes after
the inside fell, but the beat warped it
and $2,000,000 soon , laid a heap of
stone, brick and mortar. A hurricane
now raged, and owing to the intense
heat aad perfect tleet of coals, drove
everything before it. Every building
was now heated as if ia a furnace,!
and caught like tinder. Four Mory
granite blocks seemed like shavings,
and deafening explosions were con
stantly beard. A new terror was;
now added to the babel of confusion.
The tenement houses at the upper
end of Federal street were fast being:
licked op by the flames, and women
crazed and fainting were rushing to
and fro, carrying children, crockery, j
clocks and bedding in their hands.
One ran screaming through the streets
with a stove funnel in her hands,!
while another was tugging a heavy
chest which would have been a
weight for a strong man. Now and
then a few pieces of goods m!gbt be
gaved by volunteers, who ran in and
gpent five minutes daring which they '
could work in bringing out perhaps a j
hundred pieces of cloth. One man, '

He offered a ha. kman SjOO la va
: ; 10 take IDe gOOUi 10 a place Ot Safet J.
In less than an hour he had to fleeicau'rht Gre from
for bis life and th flames were
not
again cheated of Jheir prey.
The fire was now in Federal street,
and the wool houses were going like
oil factories. Thv could uever Lave
been attacked at more dangerous
time, crammed from cellar to garret.
Hundreds cf thousands cf dollars

where this awful torrent of heat and ing, and ia less than twenty minutes
flames will stop, as the wind has al-i the whole broad-paced buildinr, ex-
ready risen to a gale, and it seems to
nave do positive direction cr current.
As the flames increase in intensity
and power, the very atmosphere lends
additional force to the wind, which
rises as it were in our midst and goes
rolling over tte track of the fire, hurl -
ing dense showers of fiery sparks into
the air only to send them over that
portion of the city still untouched.
The rumbling noise of the torrent of
flame is now and then relieved by the
detonation of masses of euapowder
which have been placed in untouched
edifices in the apparent track of the!
fire, and the awful scene is rendered
more fearful aad appalling by the ap
pearance of tee fragments ot these
demolished honses as they fly upward
into the air.
The note of preparation for the
worst has been sounded everywhere,
consequently the aggregate loss will
be greatly lessened by the prompt
removal of all portable goods. The
greatest diSeulty, however, is exper
ienced by merchants in procuring the
necessary means of transportation, as
the horses are nearly all ii! with the
disease that has so afflicted the larger
cities of the union. Fabulous prices
are being paid for such services, and
yet the demand is far greater than
the supply. ' How will it end?''
every one is asking, though I hardlv j
care to put tne question to my.-eii
It seems to me if it caaaot be con
quered now there is no reason to
think that it will be uutil it reaches
the water, ia which case it will sweep
through the Dock Square taking in
Faueuil Hall and tjnincy market,
thence continuing its way toward the
shipping at Commercial and Loomis
wharfs, and so on up the harbor.
I am sorry to say that Boston is no
better than other cities, for in the
midst of the terror that exists iq our
streets thieves are busy at work, and
frequent arrests are !ing made. In
deed it is difficult to tell friends from
foes, and many owners are compelled
to sec tbeir valuables carried off by
unknown desperadoes without ven
turing to remonstrate or stop the
lawless proceedings. The police do
ail they can to protect property, but
the multidude prevent their doing
much, and so they content themselves
with making the arrests possible.
Nearly two hundred men and boys
have been already locked up, and also
several women. All of these prison
ers are of the lowest cla3., and come
from the purlieus of the city.
The firemen from Newburyport,
Lowell, Chelsea, Cambridge, Charles
town, New Bedford, ami other places,
promptly responded to the call for aid
made by our city authorities, and dis
patches are constantly coming in an
nouncing their departure by special
trains that have been started over the
various lines by the railroads. But
before they can arrive, the greater
part of the business section of the
city will be destroyed, together with
immense stores of valuable goods.
The fire has been so little depend
ent upon wind that I cannot call any
place ua the city safe. It has not got
above Tremont street, however, or
gone toward the west or sooth ends;
but when one has seen, as I have,
stone buildings that we called wholly
fire-proof go down before the flames
like tinder-boxes, be cannot say that
any part of the town will resist the
fiery element

fire frnni an early hour,
' Bostox, NovemVr 10, 7 a. m.
The fire which commenced at half-
' past seven last night continues its de-
i aianon, nun uow vork:ng
1 way through the large block between
j Devonshire and Congress streets,
j north of Water street The fire first
: broke out of the rear end of the lare
i five story granite building. Nos. 57,
j 6 aad CI Summer street, directly on
i the corner or Kingston street. This
bu.niing was surmoantetl witn a nigti
j .Mansard roor, over-topping
i buildin;. ia that Immediate
all other
vicinitv.
Iirectly as the names began to spread
through the story eneath tms njf,
and before an engine or hose carriage
was cn the irround. a "Teat volume
of Same suddenly burst out from the
j tending fully one hundred feet along
Kingston street, was one sheet of
flame, as was also at the same time
the Summer street front, the heat
j being so intense as to force the firemen
away from that immediate vicinitv.
1 By this time a strong wind bud
' sprung up, the flames began to sweep
! over Summer and Kingston street
i aad despite all the exertions of the
firemen in cverr branch of the de-
partraent the fire was communicated
to the building oa the opposite corner
of Kingston and Summer streets, as
well as to the irreat block oa the cor
ner of Summer aud Otis streets, and
in less than half an hour there after
the flames were bursting cut of the
roofs and all up and down both sides
cf the immense structures. By this
time the wind had increased to nearly
a jra'e, ami the flames bavin; entire
mastery ef everything, swept from
store to etore, from roof to roof, from
block to block, and from corner to
corner, driving the firemen from every
vantaire ground they could secure,
and rendering all their exertions use
less and futile. Wherever the flames
reached they rapidly consumed every
thing of a combustible character.
About eleven o'clock the scene in
Lincoln, Essex, ?outh, Federal and
other streets in that immediate neigh-
iKri30i
od was one of the saddest
sights of the night Hundreds of
men, women and children were hur
rying along laden with every variety
of household goods, behind them the
waving flames lapping up their
houses before they could gi t half or
a quarter of their good into the
street The fire entered on both
sides of Lincoln street.
On Russia wharf all.the buildings,
mostly used by rag, paper and junk
merchants, were destroyed There
were no vessels lying at this wharf.
At Bobbins wharf a schooner was
destroyed, as were coal sheds and a
large quantity of lumber on the pier.
The wharf of the nartford and Erie
Railroad Company was burned, and
the passenger station of the corpora
tion on Broad street at the foot of
Summer street, was destroyed.
A hasty viit to the neighborhood
of the southern boundary of the fire
reveals the fact that the flames had
not extended lar up King-ton, Colum
bia and Lincoln streets ia a southerly
direction, but had burned along the
ends of those streets, making prc
gress over Broad street to the water
front. AH through South Lane Dis
trict, where wooden buildings are
numberless, there were in action nu
merous steamers to prevent the spread
of the fire sideways and keep it out
of a thickly populated district. The
The United Suites Hotel was the
nearest puMic building ia the line of
the fire spreading sideways, and ma
ny of the guests cr occupants were
active in moving their trunks and oth
er small baggage to a place more se
cure. A visit to Summer street showed
the fire to have advanced on the
south side as far as Haney's dry good
store, the upper portion . of which
building was then on fire.
After repeated solicitations on the
part of business men, owners of real
estate and others. Chief Engineer
Danierell, just before two o'clock,
gave orders to rope off the streets
leading into Milk street preparatory
to blowing np buildings on the south
side of the street A body of United

Several of the attempts to blow up
buildings met with the ill success
that attended the experiment at the
corner of Milt- and Washington
streets, windows only being shat
tered. A visit to the North end of the lire
at seven o'clock showed that it was
not progressing with anything like
the previous rapidity, having ad
vanced not more thaa a hundred feet
into Congaess street, between Water
aad State streets, during the preced
ing hour and a half. The heat had
none nf that fierce, terrible intensity
which had been devouring buildings
so rapidly. The same state of affairs
was found to exist on Milk street

the street below Pearl street, which
had caught as early as half past five
o'clock, were burning slowly in com

j Secretary of the" Treasury this morn
ing received a telegram from the
President of the Merchants" Bank.
Boston, saying. "There Is co reason
for a panic, if the banks stands firm.
The loss is largt?, but it falls on per
sons who are generally able to stand
it"

dated at New York this raoniisg.ays,
"The disposition to create a panic is
abated," and the writer gratuitously
suggests that there is no need for the
Secretary to do anything financially.
Information is received that
he
Treasury has sustained no losses by
the fire, the fund and boots being
uninjured.
The number of firms and business
houses burned cut is nine hundred

It is impossible to give anything
like an accurate or even approximate
retort of the insurance. Some of the
largest firms have had no time to lock
over their policies. At an informal
! meeting of leading insurance officers
to-day a statement was made that the
losses would be nearly all paid ia
full.
