HAYMARKET PLACE.
While the store of Haley, Morse q Co. was
burning fercely, the firemen who were working
in Haymarket place were suddenly startled by
the crash of the rear walls. which came tulnoI u
ling upon the dwellings, on the north sue Vi
Haymarket place. The houses were crushed as
quickly as though they had been egg shells, ana
the tboroughfare was filled with debris FIX OF
seven feet high.
The firemen had barely time to escape with
their lives, and were compelled to abandon Elk
tinguisher No. /, which was entirely ruined.
Officers West and Coombs were both knocked
down by the falling mass, aud barely escaped
with their lives. The demolition of the dwell
ings referred to gave the firemen good oppor-
tunity to check the r;vages of the fire in that
direction, and the fire al that point was soon
under complete control. The building number
ed was also destroyed.
ESSEX STREET.
The flames spreading to the southwark and to
the rear of the Globe Theatre building, soon
worked ronnd into Essex street, and involved
the whole north side of the street as far az
Chauncy street in the general ruin. AT half
past ten that entire side of the street was in
flames, the fire travelling with great rapidity
Though the most energetic and courageous eff
forts on the part of the fremen, The confagra
ton was successfully fought, and the progress
of the destruction in this locality arrested at
noon.
At half-past eleven the fire made, as it SEEM
ed, the last effort to assert its power, perfect
sheet of flames rolling up from the burning
mass and sweeping across the street, as if
to drive before it the firemen on the roofs of
the building opposite. Soon after it became
evident that the fire was under control, in this
section at least.
The firm in this quarter was confined almost
exclusively to the north side of the street, the
large granite building on the northeast corner
of Washington street, which was saved by the
thick brick parti-wall of the Globe Theatre
building. Although escaping the fire, the
building was flooded with water, which caused
extensive damage. The first and second floors
of this building were occupied by Alexander
Crawford, whose loss will amount to 500 900;
partially insured. In the third stoIy was the
Arlington" billiard room, the tables and fix
lures being the property of Mr.. James Doyle;
