tempts arc now being made to blow up
Two corners on Franklin street to
er towards State street. Immense crowds OF

made by them to save property, which
is being transferred to various parts OF
the city. Tho utmost good arder prevails, and
nothing is done which at ordinary times would

BosroS, Nov. 10-2 a. m.-Already dispatches
have been received offering aid to the city from
other places. No one can tell what the

department, owing to the broad line Of condagra-
tion, unable to do anything toward checking the
flames. No estimate can be arrived at as to the

millions Of dollars.

been blown upat the south corner Of Devonehire

State street, and save the new Post Office build
ing. The streets leading to the fire are fenced
in with ropes, and are in charge Of strong de
achment OF police, who have strict
instructions to permit no one to
pass the barriers on any pretence. Thus it is
impossible to obtain more than a general ac-
count of the progress of the flames. Both
sides of Hawley street, also Morton place, are
now on fire. The fire on Franklin tstree has not
yet reached Washington street.
Special Desp ateh to Tic Chicago Tribune.

" to and fro. The conlagration is gaining
steadily in it's eastward course, and is making
directly for the large warehouses on
Commercial street. Assistance continues to ar
rive almost momentarily, but is Of little avail, as
the wind is still blowing fercely. The only
means Of checking the fire is now believed to be
in the blowing up Of many large buildings to the
leeward.
