had their store packed full, having only put
in the last of their winters stock three
hours before the fire enveloped it all.
March Bros. & Pierce had Just put their
winter goods in the cellar and sent their
summer goods up stairs to be made up.
The paper houses came next and with the
end Of Federal street went the majority of
large city dealers, II had been hoped that
the fire could be stopped short of Franklin
street, but the stores there were as vJll-
nerable as any of the Others.
The Freeman's National Bank
went at 10 O'Clock and an hour later the
National Bank of
North LAmerica
was in the same condition.
The only place where the limits of the
fire were reached is on Summer street,
where the fire began. 1t swept in q north
wardly direction fromathere and 1 cannot
tell where it win stop.

must be an insurance heavy enough to carry
under several insurance companies in this
city.
