These soon caught fire, and though but

nARBLEHEAD ON FIRE,
Old Floyd IresOn,s Stamping
Ground Burned.


MARBLEHEAD, Mass, December 25.-
1890 A. M.-Mar blehead is on fire. The
entire business portion is in ruins and a
dozen firms are burned out, also the Bos-
ton and Maine depot and several other
buildings. 1t is the largest fire that ever
visited this city and the people are panic
stricken. The telegraph Office has been
destroyed. This dispatch is sent with
great difficulty over hastily improvised
wire and communication is liza
BILE to be interrupted any minute.
At midnight it is estimated that seven
acres have been burned over and the
entire loss will be at least $500, 600.
Among the buildings that burned are
Powers Block, William Golthwaite's g
three story building, Munroe's large
shoe factory, a three-story block occupied
by dry goods stores, and the Boston
branch grocery on the first floor, Masonic
Hall on the second and skating
rink on the third, the four-story Aller-
ton Block, American Express building,
Simon's variety store; dwellings of Dan
iel Broden, George Church and Thomas
Falls; Metcalf's box factory and other
buildings. Two families lived in the
Powers block, where the fire originated,
but fortunately escaped. Nearly the
same locality was burned over twelve
years ago. The fire started in nearly the
same place. Many of to-night's victims
were also sufferers by the former fire.
The shoe business, which has been
quiet for several months past, was just
starting up, and many operatives will
now be thrown out of employment the
entire winter. 1t is still burning. 1t is
impossible to get definite losses owing
to the great excitement prevailing among
all classes.

could not be learned, left early
in the afternoon for the boat
house near the six-mile-house, which
is situated on the San Bruno road about
six miles from this city, for the purpose
of taking sail on the bay. The party
embarked in sail boat which is con-
sidered safe on account of the small
amount of canvass she carries. All went
well for some time until heavy sea set
on, when some of the occupants of the
byat became frightened and wanted to
return home. Finally it was agreed to
start for home and the boatman started
to jbe his sail, when suddenly agust of

was made up by Matt Cox on Christmas
eve at the house of Mr.. Ziegel, where a

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
TRUCKEE, CAL, December 25.-The
express car on the east-bound overland
train was robbed last night two miles
east of Clipper Gap. Bod Johnson, the
express messenger, says he was sitting
at his desk and his helper was sorting
out packa ges to be left at Colfax, when
suddenly the glass transoms over the
two doors, one on each side of the car,
were broken in simultaneously, and two
revolvers thrust through, covering
both messengers. Johnson was
compelled to :open the door ard
let one robber in, being ordered to keep
one hand held up. The other robber
reached inside and unlatched the door,
letting himself in. He then covered the
messenger while the first robber took
from the safe all the coin packages,
which he placed in game pouch slung
across his shoulder. Between Clipper
Gap and Applegate, the grade is heavy
and takes fifteen minutes to run two and
a half miles. The robbers had no difficulty
therefore in jumping from the train,
and the entire transaction occupied less
than five minutes. When the train
stopped at New England Mills, tramp
who was on the front end Of the baggage
car ran toward and told the engineer that
the express car had been robbed. The
conductors were notified and the party
knocked at the door of the express Car.
The messengers, who thought the robbers
were still on the train, would not open
the doors sfor some minutes. One
messenger says he pulled the bell cord
but the engineers deny this. The
messengers gave a description of the rob-
bers, who were only partially disguised,
and were both young men. They were
apparently well acquainted with the
route and with the habits of the messen-
gers. The descriptions were telegraphed
in different directions from Colfax, and
two tramps were held as witnesses. The
loss may reach into the thousands.
