BosToN, November 1.-THE crowded
churches to-day were In remarkable con-
trast to their attendance on the previous
Sabbath, when the audiences were COM
posed Of . few women and children. The
great conaagration was the subject to. day
In all the city pulpits.
Washington street Is now open for
travel and other streets in the burnt dis
trict will probably be cleared Of debris
during to morrow. Asmall military guard
Is still on duty. Thousands OF people
visited the rains to-day. The post office
In Faneuil Hall has been so swamped
with mails that they are obliged to send
large amounts OF matter TO other offices
for distribution.
Harvard College has lost so heavily by
the fire that It asks for $4,000 for imme.
diate use and $500 900 for rebuilding.
The most interesting locality among the
ruins to-day, and the one to which hun.
dreds were attracted by the operations
there In progress, was the rear ofthe store
Of Shrieve, Crump s. Low. Beneath the
sidewalk was a brick vault fifteen feet
long, ten feet wide and ten feet thick,
which contained between $4,000 and
800, 900 worth Of silver, including the
service belonging to Trinity Church s,
portion Of the sacramenlai silver q t1e
Brattle Square Church, a service
Of silver, presented to Col VIM. Aspin-
wall by the merchants OF London, whose
names are inscribed thereon, include those
Of George Peabody, Boring Bros. and
others. The pitcher presented by Daniel
Webster to Peter Harvey, and other me
mentoes, besides silver were belonging to
the firm. The goods wore placed there
after the fire was got under control on
Summer street, the vault being considered
the most secure place In the neighbor-
hood. When the building was blown
down by the explosion of the gas, at least
200 tons Of granite were piled upon the
top Of the vault, but upon opening the
vault the sacramentsl silver presented to
Trinity Church by King George I'LL, the
Brattle Square Church pitcher, bearing
date OF 1704, Webster pitcher and other
ware were brought forth in good order.
In some parts Of the vault exposed TO the
hottest Of the fire articles were melted
Later In tho afternoon search was con-
tinued under the sidewalk with the hope
OF finding q service Of silver which had
been sent to the workmen on Saturday to
be cleaned. but with what success has
not transpired.
The remains Of Daniel Cochrane, late
second foreman Of Hook and Ladder
Company No. 4, were exhumed from tho
ruins on Washing tor. st. to-day. They were
charred beyond recognition, but was
identified by tag with keys attached.
He was thirty.two years Of age, and
leaves q wife and two children. Shortly
after finding Cochrane, the body Of Capt.
William Farrie, Of the same company,
was exhume1, and was identified BY a
gold chain belonging to his vile. Michael
Cuddy has been missing since Saturday
night, and Has last seen at the falling Of
the walls on Summer street.
This forenoon William Kelly had bis
right leg broken by :he falling oi wall,
which he was engaged In moving.
Perhaps the most novel and interesting
service in Boston to-day was the one held
in the old South Church, and It is proba'
bly, the last that will be held there. No
words can add TO the history and renown
oil this venerated landmark, which was
erected in 1880, and Is now for the second
time occupied by troops. The audience
was composed Of several companies oi
soldiers which have been quartered there
while guarding the city, few citizens
and half score Of ladies'. The interior
oi the church presented strange scene,
the floor being strewn with the articles Of
the soldiers camp. The choir was com.
posed Of soldiers, and soldier presided
at the organ. The services were eonduc.
ted by Rev. Drs. Manning and Murray.
Asociety held their services at the
chapel in Freeman Place,
