tags, gum, labels, &c. There we're also many
other firms doing business Of more or less i'm
portance. Most of these will perish either by
the fire or explosion.
The banks destroyed are the National Bank of
North America No. rs Franklin street. and the
National Revere Bank, No. Il Franklin street.
At 2 o'clock this morning, the chances we're that
the Continental National Bank, No. 81 Chauncey
street, and the Emigrant Savings Bank, No. II
Franklin street, would also succumb to the
flames.
At this hour hasty visit in the neighborhood
of the southern boundary Of the fire revealed
tile fact TINT the flames had not extended far up
Kingston, Columbia and Lincoln streets, in q
southerly direction 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 the wooden build
-ings are numberless. There we're in action nu-
merous steamers to prevent the spread Of the
fire sideways and keep it out of the thickly popu-
lated districts.
lie building in the line of the fire spreading side
ways, and many Of the guests and occupants
we're active in moving their trunks and other
small baggage to places more secure
visit to Summer street showed the fire to
have advanced on the south side as far west az
Hovey's dry goods store, the upper portion Of
which building was then on fire. The wind had
moderated some, but the fire seemed to be fast
eating its way toward Washington street, in
which were the establishments Of Stearns d Co.,
Walker T. Co., VIM r. Storms d. Co., THERE,
Crnmp & Co., and 4 large number Of firms do
ing business in the upper portions OF the bnild-
ings, which would be swept away. The
fire appears to be making to the rear
Of these buildings, and if not checked, the ex-
tensive place Of Jordan, Marsh d Co., IN Cen
tral Court and extending to Washington street,
stands in imminent danger Of destruction. After
repeated solicitations on the part OF business
men, owners Of real estate, and others, Chief
Engin ineer Damrell, just before 2 o'clock, gave
orders to rope of the streets leading into Milk
street, preparatory to blowing up the buildings
on the south side Of that street.
A. body of United States marines from the
Navy Yard marched up Washington street about
3 O'Clock and rendered their services On police
duty, which were Immediately accepted.
Shortly after o'clock, 8 meeting of the citi-
zens was held in the Mayors parlor in the City
Hall, His Honor, Mayor CASTOR, being present,
and Chief Engineer Damrell occupying the
Chair.
On motion Of General VIM. L. Burt, detail
of citizens Was authorized to take charge of all
the streets leading to the fire, and have exclu-
sive control Of them, with assistance of the po-
lice, with authority to take any action they see
fit in the emergency.
The detail consisted Of General Burt, AID
errnan jerks, Colonel Shepard, aud
other wel-known citizens, and each one
has control Of the intersecting streets, with full
liberty to use powder in the stoppage OF the
devouring element, in case they should consider
it expedient, and with the consent Of the Chief
Engineer Of the Fire Department..
It was also authorized that, in case Of neces-
sity, the military should be called out.
At the above meeting his Honor, Mayor Gas
ton expressed lis perfect willingness to call out
the militia to relieve the policemen, and he even
desred tn iae1a tha order at o'clock this morn
