Great Fire at Marblehead.

BosToN, JUNE %. A fire broke out in
Marblehead about two o'clock this morn
| ing, and devastated a large portion Of the
town. 1t began in a small shed in the
rear of the Eastern Depot, and spread
very rapidly. Seventy two buildings were
destroyed including fifteen shoe establish
ments, and one church. The Marblehcad
fire department comprising one steamer,
and two hand engines, was totally unable
to cope with the flames aid was asked Of
Boston, Salem and Lynn. 1t is stated
that the fire had its origin in the stable
of the Hathaway House and is believed
to have been incendiary. All the large
shoe manufactures but three are now in
ruins. These were mostly large wooden
buildings filled with machinery, and fur
nishing employment to hundreds of men
and women who will now be thrown out
of employment.
Over forty dwelling houses were con
sumed and the occupants saved but
small portion Of their furniture. Many
families saved only the clothes they put
on to escape from the burning buildings.
Washington street, the street Of the shops
is long and the stores had a shabby, I'M
prosperous look. The fire spread over
SeWall, School and Spring streets, and
finally got back to Pleasant-st., where in
DR.. Whitmores barn, it was finally check
ed The alarm was given at 40 A. NJ.
and the fire was out at 8 o'clock One of
the difficulties of fighting the fire was in
sut1clency OF the water supply, the main
reservoir having been rendered nacces-
sible by the flames.
The principal buildings burned were
the South church, Rechoite Hall and all
the town buildings Roughs manifested
disposition to commit dcpredations and
as Il precautionary measure the military
were ordered to do guard duty. The
telegraph wires were destroyed, informal
ton from the scene of the fire is much

boot and shoe manufactures were burned

favor, house and factory. Joseph lIarrcs,
and Samuel SparhaWk are the only boot
and shoe manufacturers who escaped.
The manufacturers burned out are all
understood to have been insured, either
wholly or in part, whether they will all
rebuild is thought to be doubtful. At any
rate the effect is to turn boot and shoe
trade Of the place to Lynn and other
neighboring towns for the present. Out

How the Actor Won the Heiress


4 very suddenly precipitated wedding
occurred in this city last evening at s
o'clock. The parties were Mark J. Pen
dleton, who for two years was a leading:
actor in the Euclid Avenue Opera House
company, and Miss Alice Worthington. a
wealthy heircss on Euclid avenue. The
lady has Il fortune Of S240,0O0 in her own
name, and her mothers death will add
another quarter of a million. Mr. Pen
dleton Is Il handsome young actor, with
very far promises for the future. When
Anna Dickinson played here, four months
ago, she was so well pleased with his rep
resentaton Of the character of Pclcy in
"A Crown Of Thorns," that she took him
to Philadelphia with her to fill an engage
ment there. He is now a regular member
OF the company in the Arch Street Theatre
in Philadelphia. During his sojourn here
he formed an attachment for Miss Worth
lngton, and won her heart, but by no
means got her mothers conseut Mrs.
Northlngton thought her daughter should
take higher stand than to wed an actor.
Nlthln month past young man in this
city made an offer of marriage to the
young lady, and was accepted, but Il few
evenings since he called, and finding a
strlngeness of manner on the part of his
expected bride, broke the engagement.
She appeared greatly affected at being
cast off, but the fellow foresaw his fate.
and he escaped. Mr.. Pendleton arrived
on Friday, and last evening the nuptials
were celebrated, and the couple left for
Philadelphia.

Two Full Cornet Bands

Because of the overwhelming proportions
of the GREAT LONDON, and the great out
lay attending its transportation and daily
exhibition, twill only pause in the larger
towns or cities, where the population is full
ly adequate to insure its expenses. 6ut ex-
cursons and regular trains will be arrang
ed for, upon all lines centerng at the place
of exhibition, at greatly reduced rates of
fare, and cupon tickets issued at all Bail
road Stations, which will entitle the pur-
chaser to admission into all the paviIons.
It is hoped this will obvate ali difficulty
and give all an opportunity to attend these
