There were many other firms doing
business Of more or less importance.
Most OF these will perish either BY flre or
explosion. The banks destroyed are the
National Bank Of North America, No. rs
Franklin, and the National Revere Bank,
No. 70 Franklin street. At two O'Clock
this morning the chances were that the
Continental National Bank, 81 ChauuceV
street, and the Emigrant SavIngs Bank,
II Franklin street, would also succumbt to
the flames.
At this hour hasty visit In the neigh.
borhood OF the southern boundary Of tho
fire, revealed the fact that the flames had
not extended far up Kingston, Columbia
and Lincoln streets In q southerly direc.
ton, but had burned along the ends OF
those streets, making progress over Broad
street TO the water front. All through
the South Cove district, where wooden
buildings are numberlesS, there were In
action numerous steamers to prevent the
spread Of the fire sideways and keep Il
out Of thiCklY populated district Tho
United States Aotel was the nearest pub.
lie building in the line Of the fire spread.
ing sideways, and many OF the guesta or
occupants were active IN moving their
trunks and other small baggage 10 places
more secure.
A visit 10 Summer street showed tho
fire to have advanced on the south side a.
far west as Haney's dry goods store, the
upper portion Of which building was
then on fire. The wind had moder.
ated some, but the FIRE seemed to
be fast eating its way to Washing.
ton streets, in which were the establish.
ments ol Stearns & Co., Martin, Walker
s. Co., VIM. Il. Storms & Co., Thalre,
Crump d Co., and large number ol firms
doing business In The upper portions OF
the buildings, would be swept away. The
FIRE appears to be making to the rear OF
those buildings. II not checked, the e5.
