the flames, and under their lee. Such
management is worth special reference.

HAYMARKET PLACE.
While the store of Haley. Morse & Co.
was burning tiercelv, the tiremen who
were working in Havmarket place were
suddenly startled by the crash of the rear
walls, which came tumbling upon the
dwellings, on the north side of Haymarket
place. The houses were crushed as quick
ly as though they had been egg shells,
end the thoroughfare was filled with de-
bis six or seven feet high
The tiremen had barely time to escape
with their lives, and We're compelled to
abandon Extinguisher No. 1, which was
entirely ruined. Officers West and Coombs
were both knocked down by the falling
mass and barely escaped with their lives.
The demolition of the dwellings referred
to gave the firemen good opportunity to
check the ravages of the fire in that direc-
hn ti,.,t,
under complete control The building
numbered 6 was also destroyed
ESSEN STREET.
The flames spreading to the southwark
and to the rear Of the Globe Theatre
building, soon worked round into Essex
street, and involved the whole north side
Of the street as far as Chauncy street in
the general ruin. At half past ten that
side Of the street was in flames, the fire
travelling with great rapidity. Through
the most energetic and courageous efforts
on the part OF the iiremen, the cOnfiagra-
ton was successfully fought, and the pro-
gress of the destruction in this locality
arrested at noon.
AT half-past eleven the fire made. as it
seemed, the last effort to assert its power,
a perfect sheet of flames rolling up from
the burning mass and sweeping across the
street, rs 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 quarter at
least.
The fire 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 ex-
tensive damage.
The losses on buildings DESTROYED. ut
the assessors valuation, foot up $500, 800;
deducting 20 per cent. salvage on build
ing materials, the actual loss on real
estate is S455,700. Estimated total loss
81, 250, 900.
The recent bank robbery at st. Gene
We've, Mo-, has rarely been surpassed for
the cool audacity and successful strategy
which its authors displayed. At the open
ing of the bank the cashier stood upon
the steps of the bank talking with a gen
tlcman named Rozier. They noticed two
men walking down the street looking
intentlY at the bank, and they soon walked
up the steps into the bank, the cashier
preceding them. He started to 90 behind
the counter. and when he had got about
half way, one of the men put two navy
revolvers at his head and commanded him
to open the safe. AT the same time the
other man drew pistol on young Rozier,
threatening to kill him if he opened his
mouth. Inundated by the threats of the
robbers, the cashier opened the safe, when
th" thieves seized a package containing
several thousand dollars in notes and a
box containing a large amount of gold
coins and other valuables After making
a clean sweep of all that was OF any value
in the bank. the robbers forced the cashier
to 90 about two hundred yards from the
bank, where two more men and four
horses were found waiting. AS the party
