HEROIC FOES TO FIRE.
Two Brave Men of the Boston Brigade
Lay Down Their Lives in the Flames,

Two Brave Men of the Boston Brigade
Lay Down Their Lives in the Flames.
BOSTON, Aug. 13.-At an early hour
this morning fire occurred in the four
story brick building Nos. 1Os, 40 and 112
Beach street, owned by Henry Faxon,
The building was occupied in the base
ment as a storehouse for old bottles. On
the first floor were Potter & Watson. man.
ufacturers of sole leather, shoe machin-
cry, etc. The second and a portion of the
third story were occupied by the firm OF
F. 81. Wheelock & Co., manufacturers
OF lace goods, rulings, etc. The
remainder ofthe third and upper floor were
occupied by Cation, Heckle & Co., manu-
facturers OF straw and felt hats. Cation,
Heckle q Co. suffer total loss on stock
and machinery amounting to $4,000.
Wheelock e. Co. lose about the same.
Potter & WatsOn's loss will reach about
$4,000, and the building was damaged
$4,000. The insurance practically covers
all the losses. A sad incident of the fire
was the terrible death of two firemen of
steamer No. 1, veteran Joseph Pierce,
one OF the best hOsemen in the city, and
Joseph Quigley of South Boston. The men
carried line of hose to the top of the
blazing building, but had hardly set foot
upon the roof when it fell in
with crash and precipitated the men
to the floor of the upper story
into seething mass of flames.
At about O'Clock, when the fire was sub
dued, the bodies of the men. burned to a
crisp, were found lying close together
on the fourth floor. Pierce was we'll
known member of the department. 1t
was he who, when everybody else re-
treated from their posts, held his position
at the fire at LOwell's gun store, year
or more ago, and not all threats, nor oft-re-
peated warnings of the danger Of pow
der explosion could drive him from it. He
was faithful worker, and had often been
injured in his efforts to save the property
OF others. lie was married, while his
companion IN death was a single man.
A TOWN DESTROYED.
ERIE, PA, Aug. 13.-About O'Clock
this morning fire broke out in the drug
store of Brookins 81 Fleming at Northeast,
in this county, and spread rapidly. In
reply to call for assistance, a steamer
was sent by the Erie Fire Department.
1t was several hours before the fire could
be got under control. The business por-
tion of the town is now in ashes. Among
the blocks destroyed are Town and
Loomis' Halls, Belknapp's, Union and
Haynes House. These and the PresbV-
terian Church, mostly fine brick build
lngS, were built since the fire of 1871,
when this same district was burned over.
Over two-thirds of the business portion of
the town is destroyed, including the best
buildings in the place. The total loss is
estimated at $200,000. The insurance is
$1,000.
TWO STORES DESTROYED.
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 13.-This morn
ing fire at TarbOr0 DESTROYED the stores
of Z. b. Hodges & Co., and C. j. Austin.
The total loss is not yet known. The in
surance amounts to $4,000.
