tensive confagration is now raging
at the corner of Summer and King
ston streets.
10P. NJ.
There is no abatement in the con-
fagration. It is the most extensive
FIRE that has visited Boston for twen-
ty years, and is in the solid dry goods
portion of the city. It has extended
the entire length of Winthrop Square,
which embraces A. I. Stewards, J.
nj. Beebe's, Anderson, Heath & Co.,
and Houghton, Perkins & Co. s
stores. No estimate of the loss can
be given. The suburban fire depart
ment has called upon. TIE build
ings are pr ncipally of granite. A
northwestern wind is prevailing.
II p. n.
The fire is now within two blocks
of the Western Union Telegraph
Office. The operators are taking up
their instruments, preparing to va
cate. A line of men and material
have been ordered to Boston from
adjoining towns, so that if communi-
cation with New York is lost, which
now seems very likely, it will proba-
bly, be soon restored, certainly at an
early hour in the morning if not to-
night. The fire has travelled half
mile through the heart of the city,
asd is spreading with frightlul ra-
pidity.
The FIRE is progressing towards
Broad street, having swept both
sides of Summer street to High street
and Purchase street. Goods are be-
ing removed from stores in every
direction in the vicinity of the fire.
Fire engines have been telegraphed
for from Providence, Worcester and
other places.
ALARM IN NEW YORK.

nous figure.

RACES. It is feared the entire area
