DISTRESSING FIRE
NEwBURYP oRr June l, 1911.

Messrs. fussek and Cusier-rhis town
has at last suffered the dreadtui tate which
we have long feared from FIRE. The ap
PallIng alarn. was given about quarter
before ten last evening; when, almost Inv
stantly, range of wooden buildings, more
than one hundred feet in length, near the
market. which have been improved MS sta
bies by David LA Mrence, Samuel Sha W
and others, were in a full blaze. which
soon extended down % the market. Every
effort to subdue or control the fire proved
lneffectual, 'tiif all the North side of State
street, from the market To Pleasant street.
and all the south side from Essex street 10
the ferry-ways, including all he brick
stores on the Ferry wnaG, (and excepting
Maj. Perkins store, on S E side the mar
ket,) Middle-street halt way through. and
all below. from the Ferry wharf 20 Mar
quan's-wharf, both inclusive, were inclosed
ln-1e common ruin. The flames spread
with such rapidity, that but small proper
ton OF The vast property IN this centre of
business, was saved. Idare not attempt
an estimate.
There has, perhaps, never been fire in
this country, attended with such accumula-
ted devastation, and such general distress.
AS the late contiagration in Newburyport.
ne loss OF property In goods and real es
tate, cannot be estimated at less than two
millions; and it is presumed, that many
hundreds OF individuals are lett completely
destitute OF house or home, or the means OF
procuring support for their wretched ia
