The business heart of Boston has been
burned ont. A fire which began on Saturday
evening, in Kingst0n-st., the boundary in the
South End, between the tenement houses and
the heaviest Wholesale blocks, ragged over
fifteen hours, and could not be fairly said
to be subdued till near five o'clock Sunday
evening. 1t swept away the finest blocks OF
granite buildings for business purposes on
this continent the Burnt District being
bounded by Washington, Bedford, Summer,
Broad State, Congress, and Milk-sts The
seat of the wholesale dry-gOods, leather,
boot and shoe, and wool trades is In
ruins Dazed business men, on the spot, talk
wildly of an aggregate of Two Hundred and
Fifty Millions loss; it is clear from our most
careful calculations that the loss cannot in
any case fall below EIGHTY 10 ONE HUNDRED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS The local Insurance
companies are ruined, with many elsewhere
in New England, which have heretofore been
rated among the sOundest ard strongest
in the country. The loss however, falls
mainly on those best able to pear
il, the wealthiest classes in one OF
the wealthiest cities of the Union; and
the immediate suffering for lack of shelter will
be nothing like 40 great as at the Chicago
fire. Our dispatches below, special and
general, till all the details of the sad story
which the fleeing telegraph operators could
transmit. In other columns map shows the
burnt district long lists give the names of the
sufferers with here and there, let us hope, one
whom later news may show to have escaped;
and the bearing upon the insurance interest
of the United States is fully set forth.

naming of the streets the map, but none which
the intelligent reader will not readily detect by
comparison with the special reports which are pub

name Of Summer-st. is misplaced and should be
placed along the thoroughfare running due west
