says about it: 1--WE were divested of ev.

bracelets locked up, our back hair taken
off, our own special possession Of seventy
five or hundred hairs made into little
hirsute pill and impaled with hairpin.

boosted. The procession formed. AT the
door we were handed miniature sheet

destitute and the uncared for OF the city
who never dream OF washing or obtaining
BATH and regard that luxury as unattalnable as
turtle or champagne. We are greatly behind the
ancient civilization In this matter OF public baths
Rome 1900 years ago mad 200 public baths many OF
which were built Of marble. The Peruvian Incas
constructed aqueducts OF 100 aud 100 leagues in
length. In Spain both the Moors and Romans have
lett traces OF their power in the form OF
ENORMOUS AQUFDUCTS

those OF Egypt are world famous. Assyria
and Mesopotamia are intersected by the
ruins OF vast water courses, and through a
great part OF the East even at this day. the inhab
tants are supplied with fresh and pure water by the
benefcent will or their despots. New York has Its

but in the matter OF baths It Is far behind the pro-

advantages so favorable to the multiplication OF

part of the municipal government that spends
more than hall q million dollars per week In
doubling the number ofpubllc bathing houses.

the buildings destroyed together With the abso-
lutte impossbility Of getting at them from more
than two sides, rendered the work OF extinguish-
ing one Of great difficulty. That it was ably ex-
ecuted is patent to all, and praises OF the Chief
Engineer are in the mouths OF everybody. This
is the third time within year that the property of
the Boston Pilot has been destroyed by fire.
FIVE MEN KILLED AND ONE INJURER.
John Hill, William Killvan, Thomas Hnnegan,
James Regain and william Mahoney, fremen, were
ously injured. On December l, 1882 the panoforte
mandatory OF Messrs. Chickerng & Sons, then
located a couple OF blocks below their salesrooms
just destroyed, was burned. Their loss at that
time was upwards of two hundred thousand dollars
over and above the insurance The books OF the
Freemans and Boylston banks were saved. Haw-

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.


BOSTON, May 80, 1873.
The IRE was first discovered In the upper floor OF
Haley, Morse Co.'s warehouse, among the
workshops, and the names were issuing from the
roof. The piles OF light material packed away were
like so much finder, and before the alarm could be
given great volumes OF flame were rolling up fifty
feet into the air and clouds OF smoke rising. The
neat generated was intense, and in twenty minutes
the upper stories Of the building, rom front to
rear, a distance OF two hundred feet we're mass
Of glowing flames.
TELEGRAPH WIRES BURNED.
The Western Union Telegraph Company has lost
fifteen wires by the fire, and communication is in.
terrupted. The Freeman's National Bank had not
opened their vault to-day and they have reason to
believe that all their securities are saved The day
being holiday, the report of the fire telegraphed
to the surrounding towns brought thousands Of
persons to the city. Every train inward bound
was crowded with
ANXIOUS BUSINESS MEN AND SENSATION SEEKERS.
There could not have been less than one hundred
thousand persons near the scene or the fire whe n
1t was at its height.

the attention OF members had better be devoted to

TIE EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK

The news OF the second terrible calamity to the
sister city Of Boston within year spread through
the streets and avenues, hotels and dwellings with
marvellous rapdty yesterday, considering the
very limited facilities which existed Tor obtaining
information. 1t being legal holiday the usual
means Of quickly communicating intelligence were
not at hand, and the feeling increased IN proper
ton. The first reports, which themselves were
made much greater than the truth warranted,
received still greater exaggeratlon from the fact
that the truth was, as 1t were, not obtalnable. 1t
was readily believed that the entire city OF Boston
was going this time. and that nothing would be
saved. Here and there, at the hotels
and at some stores which had been
kept open in siite OF the holiday, the
proprietors had posted up kilograms giving the
meagre news which had been received In the few
words In which II had come. Round such bulletins
as these anxious and interested crowds gathered,
discussing the fate of Boston and the effect 1t would
have here. To a great extext the news from Bos-
ton dampened the ardOr OF those strange people
who always turn out on holidays to join in what
ever festivities there to the full OF their bent.
The procession received less attention and the
bulletins more. But in another manner the hap
pening OF the fire on such day as Decoration
Day was peculiarly awkward. All the In
surance companies WERE OF course, closed, and
not the least particle OF information OF reliable
character could be obtained. Some insurance men
who lounged about made wild statements as to the
probable losses to insurance companies in this
city, and their estimates varied oil the way IRON
four millions to twenty thousand dollars, and this
gives pretty good estimate OF the uncertainty
which existed as TO the real facts of the case
When the certain news came, about hal-past
twelve yesterday afternoon that the fire had been
got under CONTROL however, 1t was great relief to
everyone, even to those not personally Interested
From that moment the interest which had risen to
fever heat began to allay itself and fall of, es'
pecially as the later kilograms which came from
the scene OF the connagration gave estimates OF
the losses suffered much below those at first re-
ported during the terrible excitement which must
have prevailed.

DANGEROUSLY BEATEN.
Ante-NIortcm statement.

Yesterday morning Coroner Young received In.
formation that Julius Boukman, German, living
at 1856 Suffolk street. was lying in very dangerous
condition from the effects OF violence he had re-
ceived On Thursday OF last week. The Coroner
visited Boukman, but he was wholly un.
able to make statement. Coroner Young
learned that on Thursday OF last week
Boukman, who Is wood carver working at 1913
stanton street. sent Conrad Sperer, q lad sixteen
years old, TO a saloon for some lager beer. Conrad
brought in the beer when one OF the workmen APP
peared and drank half Of It, alter which another
half OF the beer This excited the anger OF Boukman,
who thereupon slapped Sperer with his open hand,
The latter then caught up carver's mallet and
hurting IL at Boukman, struck him on the right
side OF the head and face. after which Conrad ran
away and made his escape. He was subsequently
issued another warrant for Sperer and placed 1t in
the hands OF Detective Lyon, OF Tenth precinct
for pxacutiOn.

Mortified and indignant at the selnshness OF my

fragrant Havana between his lips-a picture OF
home comforts, which many poor married man
