Destructive Fire.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon the
alarm OF five from box 16 brought the steam
fire engines together with an immense crowd
of people to place known as Tukesbury s
CourG, situated between Tukesbury's Lane,
Fore street, franklin and Commercial streets,
which is composed of a nest of wooden build
ings of two and one story houses. 1t appears
that some boys playing with matches in sta
BILE occupied by james Sheehan, in rear of two
tenement houses situated 10 the Court, set fire
to lot of straw and the flames quickly COM
| municated with the building. woman says
| she saw the fire when il first broke out and it
| could then have been extinguished with pail
| of water but there was none at hand aud the
| hydIants not working very well prevented the
steamers quickly getting stream on the build
| ing. This building, which is a one story shed,
| was completely destroyed. The flames next
communicated tc two story tenement in the
rear, owned by Mrs. Musgrave and occupied
by jeremiah Bassett, VIM. Spear, Mrs. Con-
molly aud Mis- Thronton, whose loss was total
with no insurance. Another tenement house
of the same size, owned by Henry Murphy and
attached to Mrs. Musgrave's on Fore street,
Which Jared the same fate. Then the cabinet
and repair shop OF the Portland Steam Packet
Company, on the northeasterly side of Tukes-
bury's Court, was the next victim 10 the de-
vouring element and was entirely consumed
while their new laundry was all but DESTROYED.
Thence the fire swept northerly to two tene-
ment houses owned by Tukesbury heirs and
occupied by Daniel Quincy, Michael Fitzger-
aid, john MCGOWAN, Thos. Irving, James
Ind 2ar and Mro Pm thn;, r.. L
Tor the NEST part saved in damaged condi-
ton. Grifins carpenter shop on India street,
was nearly a total loss. The insurance on the
Tukesbury houses was $500 at the agency OF
Loring & Thurston, in the Merchants Of
Providence, r.. l., while the same agency had
$4,000 on the property Of the Portland Steam
Packet Co. The Tukesbury heirs have also
$500 in the Traders and Merchants, Lowell, at |
the office of j. 81. Webster Mrs. Musgrave |
had $1,000 in the Atlantic, Brooklyn, at the |
same agency, and Mrs. Burke had $500 with /
another agency. The other losses have not vet /
been ascertained.
After the fire had got we'll under way the
scene was worthy Of painter The streets |
were flooded with water, through which men |
and women were splashng with their arms
hiled with their household goods. Men were /
standing with pals of water on the adjoining /
house-tops to prevent the cinders from catch |
ing, while hogs and other small vermin rushed /
about blindy getting in everybody's way and
making confusion worse COMPOUNDED The fire.
men worked well and by their efforts pre-
vented tremendous confagration. We learn
from persons competent to judge that if the
Lowry hydrant, corner of Middle and Hamp
shire streets, had been in working order the
delay experienced in detaching the hose from
1t and attaching it to the hydrant corner OF
Fore street, would have been avoided and
probably the fire would have been more speed
ly subdued
