The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1872-11-11

for his life and the flames were not AGAR
cheated of their prey.
The fire was now in Federal street, and the
wool-honses were going like oil factories
They could never have been attacked at {
more dangerous time, as they were cram
med from cellar to garnet. Hundreds O
thousands of dollars worth were in hand
that might have been delivered te
C lstonars had it not been for the
horse disease. In one store alone there
were hundred thousand dollars worth o.
woods stored which were awaiting delivery
Minor, Beal & Hackett had their store:
packed full, Icing their winters stock, three
hours before the fire developed it ell. Marcel
Brothers S Pierce hal just put their winter
goods in the cellar and sent their summer
goods up stairs to be made up.
The paper houses came next, and with
them went the majority Of the large dealers
II had been hoped that tho fire could be
stopped short of Franklin street, but the
stores there were rs vulnerable as OIL Others
The Freedman's National Bank went at 10
O'Clock, and IN hour later the National Bunk
Of North America was in as bad condition.
The lire swept in northeasterly direction
from there, and l cannot tell where it will
stop. Iwrite this with my hair singed by
aamcs, my face burning, and two or three
burns where the coals have flown down my
back.
The following streets are completely dc.
stroyed: hilby, Liberty Square, Central,
Water, Lindall, Congress, High, Dcvonshire,
Franklin, Milk, Summer, Federal, Pearl,
and part of Bedford. A large number of
iamiliss are homeless. 1t Is heart-rending.
Bos1os, November 1o--1:3o p. M-The
fire is checked. State street saved Broad

street saved, The post-ofiice is damaged,
and the backs Of some few other buildings
