THE GREAT FIRE AT PORTLAND.
Seven Banks, Four Newspaper, Four |
Hotels, and Eight Churches Harmed
Two Thousand Families Burned Oat.

SACo, Me-, July 5.-I have Just returned from
the city OF Portland, where l have witnessed
the most terrible conhagration ever inflicted on
q city IN New England. Nearly one-half the
territory had been burned over since five O'Clock

Browns sugar.houses are all in ashes.
The fire burned in northeasterly direction to

II He0rG-rending CataslrOphe-A Little Girl
BurMed 90 Death.

One OF the most affecting events connected
with the celebration of yesterday was the
burning to death of little girl named Nancy
j. Andrews, who resided with her wdo wei
mother at No. l6l Academy street. She had
been down in the city during the forenoon TO
witness the procession, and after dinner took
another little girl by the hand and went with
her to the corner Of Summit street, to see some
boys who were firing crackers there. She had
stood there but a moment, when boy
thoughtlessly threw lighted match at her,
which set fire to her dress, and in moment
spread to every part of her entire garments.
The poor little creature started screaming Tor
home, completely wrapped in flames, when a
Young man naued Charles COMBS took OH his
coat and threw ii about her, too late, however,
to stop the raging fire, or save the
oh Id. now suffering untold agony Otner at
tempts were made to put out the hre, but they
we're unsuccessful until all the little sufferers
clothes, except a chemlse, were burned trom
her body. She was then picked up and carried
to her home, DIR. Baldwin being called to attend
her. The physician at once pronounced her
case a homeless one: but she fingered until
o'clock this morning, when death put an end to
her pain, The event caused a feeling of sadness
| throughout the neghborhood; but tongue can
not express the agony of the mother, who was
thus suddenly called to look upon her darling
charred and dying mass. She had lost her hus-
band at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, aud 1t
seemed that this last aflliction would almost
unseat her reason. The young man who threw
his coat about the little girl in hopes OF putting
out the fire had his hands badly burned and his
coat completely ruined. The funeral Will take
place. tomorrow afternoon. -Ne'oark Epentng

Double Suicide i'm Hartford.
From the Hartford Courant, Jttly2.


About one o'clock Sunday morning. Officers
Billings and Darling, of the police force, while
passing through Market street, heard cries of
agony proceeding from the yard OF l.. s. Cowles,
aud upon going there found B. j. Bolles, shoe
maker, in dying condition. He was in spasms
at times, though at intervals could converse,
and stated that he had taken poison. He was
carried to the Station House, where he died.
1t appears that he has resided at No. l43 Asylum
street, woman named Sophronia A. Shaw

A jury of inquest was summoned by Coroner
Holmes which consisted of the following per-
sons:-W. Fl. Freeman, Sidney A. Ensign, p. F..
Talcott, g. A. Hamblin, A. II. Pierce Edwin
Smith. A lengthy examination took place in
the Police Court room. 1t was evident, from
letters introduced, that he had formed an attach
ment for Mrs. Shaw, and had become jealous of
her. One letter addressed to her made accusa-
tions that che had "bn seen sitting very closely
and very loving with some men," and had ex-
hlbited more affection for Others than she had
for him. Upon his person the following letter
was tound:-
DEAR FRIEND.-I am now q going to kill myself,

ford, and take care OF my children.
b. J. ROLES.
The allusion in the letter to his going to bed
was explained by one of the witnesses. He came
home and found Wells and Mrs. Shaw in the
parlor She said to him, won't you lie down
on the sofa, to keep the buggers out ?" and he
replied, angriiy, '"Fll get under the table and be
dog, il YOU want me to.n He then went up
stairs, got rope from bed, and lowered HIM

poison is not known, where he obtained it.

sketch of the City of Portland.

Portland is situated on peninsula at the
western extremity of Casco Bay, and it is one
hundred and five miles from Boston. The
present population is about thirty-fve thousand.
The city was regularly laid out and handsomely
built, particularly its more modern portions,
which we're noted for their elegant buildings.
1t was lighted with gas and we'll supplied with
water. We speak fthe city as something that
was, for this calamity seems to have well nigh
destroy ed it. Many of the streets were planted
with elm and other shade trees. The principal
structure, with handsome colonnade and dome,
containing the Post Office, Custom House, and
United States Court rooms; the City Hail. built
of brick; the old Custom House, of granite, and
twenty.four churches. Its public school sys
tenn was one of the best in the country, and the
school buildings were structures of substan-
tial elegance. There we're also numerous private
schools and an academy. The Athenaum, IN
corporated in 1927, had library of over six
thousand volumes. The Natural History Society
had a valuable collection of minerals, speci
mems, etc. The natural advantages of the city
were very great, and had been improved by
wealthy and cultivated population, until it was
known as one OF the most beautiful places in
the whole country. All its elegance of public
and private buildings has been swept away, and
1t was an important entrepCt of Canadian and
domestic commerce, while il exported IN large
quantities ice, lumber, fish, and provisions.
Manufactures had lately attracted much capital
to the spot. Ship building was extensively
carried on. The enterprise and public spirit of
its citizens are notorious and we cannot but
hope that it will in reasonably short time sur
mount the present misfortune, rebuilding the
city as beautiful as before.

arrival of a steamer, but the watch was a long
and weary one, and he almost famished for the
want of subsistence. He procured materials and
lighted fire, and fawn being attracted by the
light, he succeeded in killing it with club, and
after skinning the animal, he roasted portion
OF it on the Goals This was his only subsistence
for three long days and nights. On the third day
a steamer hove in sight, and although unable TO
make those on board observe the signals made,
he witnessed the embarkation of several OF his
late comrades from the mainland considerable
distance above the island in which he had taken
up his quarters. AS the water was beginning to
rise, he procured log and foated towards the
mainland, which he reached i'll safety.
After wandering for a couple of days in the
canebrake, getting precaIious subsistence by
fishing, he met Messrs. johnson and Van Pelt,
and they continued together for half day,
when they resolved 10 separate, and Captain
jerks was again thrown on his own resources.
He was fortunate en- ough in securing few fish,
and on these he lived till last Wednesday, when
he observed steamer coming up the river. He
quickly made arrangements Tor hailng her, and
soon had the satisfaction of seeing that his sig
nails were observed. The steamer was the
Liberty No 2, and he was soon on board, and
through the kindness of the officers he procured
a passage to Memphis, where he arrived at a
late hour on Thursday night. Captain jerks
has several friends and acquaintances in this
city. He can give no reason for the midnight
attack on the plantation except robbery and
murder on the part of the marauders.

The behavior Of the people has been beyond
praise Order has been preserved throughout
all these exciting hours, aud the inhabitants
have Wed with each other, and with the good
people who from all the neighboring towns
have hurried in to the rescue, in their energetic
efforts to maintain the public peace and to put
down the conhagration. The means at their
disposal for this purpose were certainly far
from adequate; and it is TO be regretted tnat
warning was not taken from the fire of last
year in Augusta, to organize here a more exten-
sive and efficient tire department. All that
could be done, however, has been done and is
doing; and even under the actual pressure OF
this dire calamity, the people preserve spirit
and resolution which promise well for the recu-
peration of Portland from its great disaster.
But it Is 10 be hoped that no time will be lost
by our leading cities in coming forward to the
assistance of this selfhelpful yet sorely stricken
cnmmnnitu.=M. y. Herald.
