GREAT FIRE IN BOSTON

At clock PM Saturday last, the fire burst
fromthe rear end of an nmence granite building
FIVE stories high fronting on Summer and King
ston streets, each 100 feet. The fire department
was tardy from the disabled condition of the
horses by the horse disease, and before an
engine or hose carriage reached the ground the
entire block was a moulten mass Of fire, an
a strong wind sprung up and swept the
flames over Summer and Kingston streets.
From this time the wind increased and the
flames swept on driving engines fremen and
everything before it, and consuming every
thing left in its way. This destruction and
devastation swept on through the weary heart
and wealth of the city for seven long hours
uutil ocl lock Sunday morning when a meet
ing of officials and leading citizens deter
mined to lay powder trains and blow up the
buildings surrounding the fire limits as the
only means ofs'ayng its progress. At 3 45
the work Of firing the trains commenced
in earnest, the explosions shaking the city to
its vary foundations, and this continued until
5 o'clock when marked effect had been
made in checking ;hc speed of the spread
ing flames. AT O clock the spread Of the fire
was much checked and at / o'clock i. NJ.
Sunday the fire was under complete control.
Alta later period The fire again broke out
near its first starting point caused by gas
explosions but only destroyed FIVE or six
Buildings. More moderate and conservative
est N ties, place the burnt district at an area
Of sixty acres and the losses at from so ,000,-
0)o, to $50 Geo O00t and the insurance
about half that amount. With but one OF
two exceptions all the Boston Insurance Com
panies are burstcd, but viii pay en- an av-
erage about so per cent on their risks. II
Connecticut and other American and Euro
pean companies, it is thought, will meet and
liluedac all their risks promptly. There
were $50 business firms burned out and but
60 dwelling houses destroyed, tlus,it will be
seen That bat few poor people suffered any
loss exce)t that Of want of temporary en-
ployment which Will be of short duration.
" hen the ravages Of the fire became krown,
engns and lremen ponred into the city from
every direction for hundreds Of miles. Chi
cago has already raised and sent to the sui-
iercrs $3.50 600, and all the other cities in
the East and West are preparing to initiate
her example. Twas a most fearful and
disastrous conaagraion, only surp S 'ed by
That of Chicago, in America n the 18Th Cen
tury. The redceming feature Of this Boston
fire is that 1t fell on wealthy people and that
but little bodily suffering will follow it.

votes. In the Southern district Houghton,
subsidy, beats Kewep, Liberal, about SOC
votes, and in San Francisco Clayton, Repub-

By these figures it is shown that the majority

MOHt. STEALING.

John Roscn6eld, Democratic State Har-
Dor Ccmmi ;soner, who run about eco
votes ahead of his ticket last year, and the
only Demo- rat elected, has discovered great
frauds practiced by the wharfngers by which
commerce has cen robbed out of half it has
paid as port charges in San Francisco. 1t
seems that the men in charge Of the various
Safe wharfs have been charging vessels
from $500 to $500 wharf and port dues, and
entering on their books and accounting tothe
State for only about half this sum, Rosen-
field got a suspicion of this matter and pri-
vately and secretly pushed an investigation
until he had proof of the frauds, when he
telegraphed to Governor Booth who went
down, when the wharlingers looks were
nabbed and themselves all suspended before
they had even a hint of what was going on
So far as the investigation has gone it seems
that the vessels entering San Francicso har-
Dor have been over chargel from so to 100
per cent. or the State robbed of TINT amount
The Democrats did well to nominate Rosen-
Geld, and the Republicans who scratched
their own ticket and voted for him will now
feel proud of the act. The Democracy and
and Liberals will sustain and render the full
mede of praise to Rosenfeld, but his shrewd-
ness and honesty will forever kill him polit-
ically with Grants Administration.
The official vote of Nevada county has
beed published. Grant has 600 majority
and Coggins, Reform candidate for Congress
beats Page, railroad candidate, 305, thus
showing the Stanford nag 905 votes behind
bis ticket.

PRESIDENTIAL Election. We expected
TO be able TO give the figures of the late
Presidential Election in this number of the
HERALD, but they are not accurately known
anywhere yet. Grant has surely carried 2G
States and two-thirds Of the electoral votes,
while the other eleven States have gone for
Greeley or are in doubt. Grants apparent
popular majority is estimated at from 3O0,-
900 to 500 600, and yet he has surely failed
to get one half the votes in The United States,
and is therefore an actual minority President.
TIE people did not like Grant or Greeley,
but Grants stolen money and plunderng,
corruption officials brought more voters to
the polls for him than Greeley got, and that
is all the election proves.

COMPLETE VOTE or PLACER COUNTY,
III TOLD Y0U So"

Now since Greeley is defeated and the
Cincinnati platform apparently repudialod i,
we have some old women editors in Tbs State
who are saying, 81 told YOU So Once in
time man was cursed with wife that
every time anything went wrong would say,
II told you so-didnt tell You so, etc.
These stale lies sickencd The hush. nd, and
he concluded to cure his V iie. 60 ne morn
ing he came in the house and said: "Wiie,
the old cow has ate up the grind-stonc." 81
told YOU she would, said the wife. Some
of these 81 told you SO" editors did, how
ever, denounce the Cincinnati nominees,
and use every means at their commend 10
weaken the ticket and make it unpopular
befre the party, when a thi,ablc full Of good
sense would have told them that they were
doing work they never could repair, and that
Greeley was destined to be the nominee Of
tie Baltimore convention. Here these 81
told you SO" editors were cutting their own
throats as deliberately and iusanely as ever
did the victim Of .delirium tromens. Bnt {
ter Greeley was nominated at Baltimore,
these same editors changed front and pro
ceeded to give all their previous articles and
predictions the le This, of course, disgust
ed all their readers, and rendered them and
their readers too heavy a load for the party
TO carry. They had eown the wind and must
reap the whirlwind. No newspaper can ex-
pect to have influence with sensible men IN
less it is consistent in It's teachings. 1t is
clear that whatever influence the Democratic
press had in keeping Democrats away from
the polls the whole credit or blame is due to
these 81 told you so papers. Aside from
this cause, The gre. error, if not crime, that
defeated the reform party, occurred in the
Cincinnati convention. The platform there
adopted was one that was destined TO meet
with universal approval by an overwhelming
majority Of The people in the United States.
This and the tremendous outpourng Of the
people that filed the cities, mentally intoxi
Gated the mere politicians there, and made
them believe that a nomination was cqUiya-
lent to an election Then Missouri and New
York, through the influence of Graiz Brown.
Frank Blair and New York politicians, com
bined; Gratz Brown mounted the stand with
drew his name as a candidate for President ,
and urged all his friends to surro,t Greeley
This beat TrumbulI nominated Greeley, and
eliminated in placing Gratz Brown ON the
ticket for Vice President, and the result is
now known. Greeey's location and past
record proved too disiastelu for the Democ-
racy of the great Weston States. Though
he was and is right on the living issues, the
old prcjudces bego'en in past political con-
hcts could not lie overcome. Add TO these
causes the vast millions expended by tie
Grant thieves in the purchase and coercior
of the slnm and villains of the country, and
the result is accounted for.
