A Great Fire Raging in London



NEW YORK, November ia dispatch
from Boston at midnight says the
greatest fire ever known in New England
is now raging among the large wholesale
stores In the very heart Of the city, and
1t win not cease until 1t reaches the
whArves. There was hardly q breath of
wind stirring when the alarm sounded
about half past seven o'clock followed
by a second, third and fourth in rapid
succession. But the first engine was
hardly on the ground when the fire broke
out from the fourth story OF a large gran
ite store on the corner OF Summer and
Kingston streets, occupied in the first
story by Tlbbetts, Baldwin s. Davis,
wholesale dry goods dealers. 1t had
caught in the engine room and the flames
spread with lightning rapidity up the
large elevator, and were first seen
climbing underneath the wood work
OF the rooI. The engines were not
fairly at work before another
store had caught The buildings
in the vicinity were all OF granite, four
stories high, and each surmounted with a
Mansard roof, none Of them being over
FIVE years old. The detached splinters
flew readily, as the air was heated by the
terrible heat, and soon the flames began
licking the MAnsard roof on the opposite
side, far above the reach Of the streams
directed upon It from all quarters. The
FIRE was constantly in the air, and one
building after another caught on the roof,
and the flames skipped lightly along from
one window to another, so that in thirty
minutes every cheek was blAnched, as it
became evident that the whole city In
one direction was at the mercy Of the
flames, which were leaping gaily from
root to roof, and from one building to an.
other. The second building to succumb
was directly opposite to that in which the
tlre first broke out, and was occupied
by Mafn, Mullen & Films, Harding
Bros. s Co., Bowen, Moore s. Co., George
Lide, Carter s Co., and Conant Bros, all
wholesale dealers in dry and fancy goods.
This was at the corner Of Otis Place.
The heat now became internal, the streets
ran rivers Of water and every moment
was heard the sound Of granite blocks
exploding and whole frames falling in
the streets, making them impossible.
The tlremcn were driven from one station
to another, and many an engine was kept
nobly at work, while the hydrant was
wet down by a hand hose, and the engin.
eer could only hold his place while a
stream Of water was kept playing upon
him. Blocks Of granite weighing tons
were split as II by powder, and hurled
across the wide streets, and planks went
flying through the air as II they were
feathers, The flremen erected barricades
and worked behind them, but they were
burned almost as soon as erected. An
hour had hardly elapsed before It was
evident that Beebe's block, the finest bust
ness structure in the city, built Of granite
and FIVE stories In height, with man
sard roof over 1t, oil must 60. Within 80

selfand Mr.. Houser. Mr.. Fishback offered
S17 900, and the bidding proceeded. the sums
advanced ranging from S5 to $4,000: when
1865, 900 had been offered the bids were made
more slowly, and mainly 800 each time.
The offer increased to si58, 600, Mr.. McKee's
bid, and Mr.. Fishback responded with
Sb6, 100. Messrs. Mckee and Houser had n
short consultation with their attorneys, and
then allowed the paper to be knocked down
for that sum. Mr.. Fishback was declared
the purchaser. He then handed to Mr.. Papin
the $1,000 earnest money required by the
court as pledge of his intention to abide by
the terms of the purchase.
According to the decree of the court Mr..
Fishback Is required to pay to the court only

tiHE PENNSYLVANIA RoAD DrsAsTER.-The
accident which occurred on the Pennsylvania
railroad ON Friday morning last Is thus
described by the Pittsburg Gazette:
ABOUT O'Clock, just as the occupants
OF the sleeping cars were emerging from
their bcrths, and were about making their
toilets for the day, terrible thump, surge
nasty pull at the beIl-rope on the uart of tho
conductor, and shrek from the iron horse
was followed bya general feeling Of unrest
on the part of the passengers and decided
sensation that something must be wrong
The third car from the rear of the train. n
sleeper from New York, had encountered a
broken rail and had been thrown on the. tics.
The two cars in the rear, both sleepers. one
from Philadelphia and the other from Balti-
more, followed in the wake of their neigh
Dor from New York, and also jumped the
track. At the time the train was moving nc
about its usual rate of speed for that sec
ton of the road, thirty miles an hour.
The cars ran on for fifty or sixty
yards. bounding over the ties, and
then plunged over the embankncnt to the
river about forty feet below. The New York
car embedded its forward end In the ice.
while the rear platform was left flr up the
embankment, the posture of the car show
Following came the Philadelphia car. TLs
turned over and rested son its back" as it
were, one end in the river and the other
against the New York car. Finally the Bal
timore car rolled over and over, and was left
complete wreck on the ice. Persons who
have been cyc-wtncsscs Of many such acct
dents say they have never seen car SO conf
pietcly demolished as was this one. The re-
mairing six cars, with the locomotive,
did not leave the track. The conftl-
sion which followed among the passengers,
many of whom had been thus unceremo-
niously aroused from slumber, and no
doubt, pleasant dreams, it is unnecessary to
attempt to describe. Naturally it would
have been expected that many lives would
have been lost. But when the debris had
been removed by the officers of the train
and those of the passengers who had sue.
ceeded in gathering themselves up unassisted,
the wonderful discovery was made that hut
two of the passengers had been killed. These
had been riding on the Baltimore car, the
one which had been SO fearfuly wrecked.
They were Miss Amanda Hartman, of Chicago,
and Mr.. l. Joseph, of Baltimore The lady
was the daughter of the Rev. Joseph Hart
man, had been on visit to Baltimore. was
returning home, and expected to stop OH her
way with i relative in Allegheny, German

The FATAL SHOT IN CISCINHATI-A FEMALE
TRAPEzE PERFORMER kILLED.--A few days
since James G. Davis, a "showman,' about
twcnty-siX ycsrS Of age, arrived at the Madi-
son House, in company with q young woman,
whom he registered as his wife. They were
assigned to room &c, fourth floor, where they
remained quietly, apparently contented i'll
each Others society, until yesterday noon.
They separated then--the woman faced the
Hereafter. and the man went to the Ham,
mond-Strcet Police station, where the charge
of "murdcr" was entered opposite his name
on the slate.
How this separation occurred is told only
by the man, for lie alone can tell the story.
He SAYS:
Rosa had been out shopping, and had
come in and gone TO work at one of her COS
tunes. [She drew high salary in the ira

lady in an adjoining room. She says that
Immediately following it she heard the voice
of Davis calling for the landlord. Davis told
the same story, first and last, yesterday, anG
appeared all the time like man broken down
with grief. His otten-repeated request to be
taken to the body was either masterpiece OF
discrimination or the uttelance Of heart full
of exquisite anguish. The general impress
sion is that the affair occurred just rs he
states it.
Rosa Rand was from Ashtabula county,
Ohio. She left home about two years ago,
went to New York, learned her cuisines
there, and since that time has been engaged
with circus companies. She and her "friend''
were together last fall through the South
he rs treasurer and ring-mastcr Of the circus.
When asked by our reporter yesterday when
and where they were married, he stated, hest
tatingIy, "Whh the show, about eight weeks
ago." lie subsequently informed his attor-
ncy, however, that they had not been mar.
ricd, but had intended to be soon. They had

"LITTLE BIEECnEs"-A RED Doc CHILD
LOST ALL NIGHT IN A SToRM-lTs RECOVERY
BY You BET PARTY.-The Nevada City
TRANSCRIPT of Wednesday chronicles the fol.
lowing: On Saturday evening between and
O'Clock little son Of K. ID. Bush, Of Red
Dog, aged three years, wandered from home,
and was not found until next morning about
O'Clock. The father was reading and the
mother engaged in her household duties
when the little fellow went out. The child
was soon missed, and as darkness came on
and the storm increased, the parents realized
that it was lost. The news was soon
carried to the adjoining town of You
Bet, and Immediately over fifty men be-
gan the search. Mr.. Cook, the superin-
tendent of the English company, suspended
work, that the entire force might be spared
to save, if possible, the missing child from
the death which seemed to threaten the little
one in that terrible night Of darkness and
storm. The whole country about Red Dog
was secured by men all night long, and the
Pickering lights of the lanterns could lie seen
in every direction. Every one of the men
who thus searched in the pelting storm hoped
to he able to restore the child to the distracted
mother, who was also among the searchers.
All feared that the child would be found
dead, either IRON exposure OF ny lalllS III
some of the open shafts in the vicinity. Day
light came, but the child was not found. and
the search was continued, in the hope that at
least the body might be found for burial. Mr..
Ennis and Mr.. Thorndyke, who had fine
setter dogs. started out in different directions,
in the hope that the dogs might find the child:
The instinct of the animal and its keen scent
proved superior to mans reason in this case.
when about mile from the home of the
child, Mr. Thorndyke noticed that his dog
had found the scent and was eagerly follow
ing its direction to some bushes. When the
dog reached the spot he howled and acted in
such manner that those who saw him were
satisfied that the object of the nights search
had been found. The child was discovered
snugIy curled up under "a large bush and
seemingly contented. When they got to it
the little fellow said: &" Pm hungry; i want
to 90 home and get breakfast" The good
news of the successful termination of the
long search spread rapidly, and the child was
soon restored to the anxious mother. The
little fellow was none the worse for bis night
in the storm.
