The fire that swept over the business portion
of Boston destroyed all of the magnificent
wholesale blocks on Summer street, the dry
goods commission houses ON Franklin, Summer
and Devonshire streets, leaving but three
standing in the whole city, the wholesale wool
houses and the paper dealers on Federal street,
the great leather warehouses on Pearl street.

onshire streets and Otis place, the stations of
the Hartford and Erie Railroad and hundreds of

THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
The first alarm was given at a quarter past
saven n clock and second third and fourth
followed as quickly as possible. The fire
cauoht first in the engine-room and ran up the
eIevator with terrible rapidity so that the flames
were FIRST discovered bursting from the mansard
roof of the large four story new granite build
ing at the corner of Kingston and Summer
streets 1t was numbered 81, ~ and W sum
mer street, and extended back on Kingston
street about one hundred feet The lower
floor and the basement were occupied ny MesSrs'
Teboetts Baldwin 81 Davis, wholesale dry
goods dealers; the second and third stories by
Damon, Temple & Co., dealers in hosiery,
gloves, laces and small wares The fire ran
from window to window with frightful rapid
ty. In ten minutes flames were bursting from
every opening in the roof, and in ten minutes
more volumes and wavos of fame were rolling
from every window in the third story with such
terrible force that the fate of the building was
decided. Yet there was not a spark in the air
as yet nor suspicion of breeze. NOT even tha
smallest bit OF flame had appeared on any other

Rost0n's Calamity.

The latest estimates of the loss by the great
fire in Boston is 800, ,000-which makes
it quite second to the great disaster that be
fel Chicago in 1871. Happily but few fami-
lies comparatively, are left without food,
clothing or shelter by the fire of Saturday
night. 1t is severe blow at the city's bust
ness and industries. Tens of thousands of
people found employment in thousand diff
ferent capacities that to-day are without the
means of self-support. This number includes
all classes, but this sudden loss of employ
ment deprives them temporarily of the means
of obtaining livelihood, and for several
months they must receive substantial ald or
great suffering will ensue.
When Portland was in need, Boston heeo-
ed no appeal of ours to cali forth the most
generous and prompt aid. When Chicago
was scourgsd, the prompt and almost munifi-
cent generosity of Boston challenged the ad-
miration of the country. Now that Boston
herself is visited with this terrible calamity,
let Maine, and particularly Portland do its
utmost whenever it shall be indicated what is
most necessary to be done.

The right Of women to the ballot has been
conceded in two cities, Toledo, Ohio, and
Rochester, New York. In the former city
two women deposited their votes for General
Grant, and in the latter larger number eX-
ercised that inalienable right. 1t would seem
that this action would make it necessary for
the legislatures of those States to take some
action on the question now apparently forced
upon them so as not to leave the decision of
SO grave matter to election officers.
