of people to witness it. Every train in
ward-bound was crowded with anxious
business men and sensation seekers.

one hundred thousand persons near
the scene of the fire when it was at its
hight. The Globe Theater Company
saved nearly all their wardrobe, tue
Western Union Telegraph Company
lost fifteen wires by the fire, and COM
munication is interrupted. The Free
mans National Bank have not opened
their vault; they have reason to believe
that their securities are safe.

upper floor of Haley, Morse l. Co.'S
warehouse, among workshops, and the
flames were issuing from the roof.
Piles Of light material packed away,
were all SO much finder. The heat was
intense, and in twenty minutes the
upper story of the building from front
to rear, 200 feet, was mass of flames.
The fire worked its way to Brunstead
Place, which runs out of Boylston
street, near Washington, and destroyed
it. The walls of the immense edifce
fell in and crushed to atoms the extern
sive gallery of Jourdan, with oil the
stores beneath it.
On the opposite corner, Fayette
Court, the fame soon spread to another
great building adjacent, and that was
also destroyed, including Nos. 4O3, 4O5
and 4O7 Washington street. Chicken
ing's splendid granite building and the
Globe Theatre are in ruins. The fire
has also caught the steeple OF the Pres
byterian Church, corner of Beach and
Harrison Avenue.

are being made for nation al conven-

in Cleveland, Ohio, 18th of July me-: t,
for the purpose of forming IL league,

of the leading Irishmen of New York,
Philadelphia and other cities have ur-
ranged the movement on the ground
that Irish element in this country has
not the standing politically or CONNER
cially to which their numbers and i'm
portance entities them. They say that
the Germans excel them in almost every
thing, and this is due to their default of
cooperation and harmony, and to reli-

men, like members of the German
Union, will be pledged to support one
another in preference to persons of
other nationalities, without any dis!inc-
ton of sect or party.
