flames 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 fame were rolling up
fifty feet into the air, and clouds of smoke
were rising. The heat generated was intense,
and In twenty minutes the upper stories of the
building from front to rear, a distance of 200
feet, were mass of glowing flame. The fire
worked back into the stable of Geo. F. Bonney,
on Bumstead place, which runs out of Boyls-
ton street, near Washington street, and de-
stroyed it. Eventually the walls of the immense
edihce fell and crushed to atoms the extensive
gdutTV Vi cOufudln, WIN ali the stores beneath
