citizens generally that their assistance will be
Indispensable should q fire unfortunately occur
during the prevalence of the epihippic. Cur
reliance being mainly on steam engines drawn
by horses, the number of men In the depart
lncnt is small, only twenty -four in the Hydrau
lion and not forty, probably. in the Columbia
TO run tho hose carriages will require the ser,
vices of as many of these as can be assembled
immediately upon an alarm, and as the horses
of the Hydraulion are already sioks and those
of the Columbia are very likely to become so
the engines, weighing three toDs each, are to
be drawn by hand, which will require large
force Immediately, therefore, upon the sound
ing of an alarm, especially in the night, every
man should instantly repair to the nearest en-
giue house, and give his aid, he desires to
avoid Chicago OF Boston fire. A delay of
few minutes in getting to work at ire, such
as would occur were there an insufficient force
to draw the engines, might give the fire such
Roadway that it would be difficult to check It.

New YORK, Nov. ll.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher and Henry w. Bellows made the fire
in Boston the subject Of sermons last evening.
Mr.. Beecher said the fire teaches Boston it is
not necdtul or wise to have narrow streets to
convey flames from one side to the other or to
build houses four or five stories high of fire

sard iuhammable box ont of reach of frcmen
lie disclaimed the idea that the calamity was the
visitation by Providence upon Boston because
Of its sins, and said if such was the case what
city would stand?
DR.. Bellows said the fire would show the
danger Of Mansard roofs and the folly of
building huge blocks Of stores with narrow
streets, and no large public Squares.

A TERRIBLE AccIpENr. : The

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT = The Lewiston
Journal says:
Tuesday, William F. Allen, a carpenter re-
siding at IS Bates street, was at work on the
roof of the Continental Mill. He remarked to
a fellow-workman: "A year ago to-day 1 fell
through the elevator of the beachery and was
badly hurt" 1t was short time after this re-
mark that Allen, who was boarding the outer
wall of the French roof, went into the fifth
floor for boards. There was pile of boards
about 10 feet from an opening, through which
materials were raised by derrick through the
five floors. Allen took board in his hand and
instead of turning in his tracks to 90 to the
roof, backed, and just as one of the workmen
looked that way Allen was seen to fall back
wards through the opening. There was a
crash, groans, and looking down Is feet to the
first floor the body of the unfortunate man was
SEEN. Beside him and more nearly under the
opening lay John Haggerty In falling Allen
struck some boards on the second floor, that
protruded two or three feet into the opening
Such was the force of the fall that the boards
We're broken and the body of the unfortunate
man bent inward evidently his stomach had
struck the boards. Then CHANGING one side, the
body struck John Haggerty ON the left side
and felled him to the floor, while Allen was
thrown violently to the right. His body was
found six or eight feet distant, his head curled
inward on his stomach. This was at D. M,
Tuesday 1t was evident that Haggerty owed
his life to the boards that broke Aliens fall
above; for it was found that the former only
sustained bruises on the toe and blows ON the
shoulder and side that only famed him. He
was able to be out on Tuesday.
Allen was at once picked up, and it was
found sustained no outward mark of injury
save unimportant bruises and broken finger.
He gave signs, however, of intense suffering.
and blood issued from his mouth--it was evi-
dent his injuries were internal. He was able
to speak and told the street of his house, and
the number He was at once taken in team
to his house-all the while uttering prayers and
groaning with pain. On reaching his house
he stood on his feet for moment but was
crazed with pain, He called constantly for
water, drank copious quantities and vomited
blood.
AT o'clock death came to his relief. The
deceased leaves widow and two children. He
was 26 years of age.
