Boston, May 9, 1889.
Editor Republican DEAR SIR:-If [
was not all played out, and perhaps I'M
impressionable, | suppose the pages of
this letter would fairly CLEAN with re-
splendant culture because of the .asso-
Citations / have mingled with in this city
to-day. Faneuil Hall, King Chapel, the
statues of Franklin, Adams, Quincy,
Winthrop the first president of a Union
of American colonies; the graves of
great men lying by the sides of the busy
streets; the emporium of new literature
and the musty dens in which lie half
buried tons of old literature, besides
the massive vaults in which are stored
the concentrated wealth of this mighty
community, have been gazed upon and
mentally absorbed will not say di-
gested. Boston is grand city notwith-
standing her devious ways; the streets
really look as if they had a volcanic
origin-lava ruts.
New York was not laid out by the
Angel of John the Divine, but she will
never take the palm from Boston fol-
labyrinthal contracted pathways. [ can
only find my way by keeping in view 6
succession of clock-towers on the tops
of high buildings-and by keeping ar
eve on the statues of the great men be-
fore mentioned. If land was only al
high-priced in WATERFOWL as it is here
the b~Ondholders would have grabbed
harder than they have done, and ever
you would have sighed for more of it
Well, may be some day we may be al
lowed six feet of it. Yours truly,
j. B. BENNETT.

lures. We have not the space to emu

but the ladder feat, trapeze perform

Great Fire al Fort Atkinson.

fire involving a greater loss than any
fire that has ever occurred within the
limits of Jefferson county took place at
Fl. Atkinson Saturday morning, sweep
ing out of existence the large and well
known manufacturing establishment of
Cornish, Curtis & Greene. The fire
communicated to the buildings of Zen
ger & Hoffman, dealers in lumber and
produce, their loss footing up to about
$4,000 with an insurance Of about ST.
600. The buildings we're the property
of the Northwestern Manufacturing
company and is the only loss sustained
by this large company, though their es-
cape was almost a miracle. Nothing is
left of the Cornish, Curtis & Greene
plant except the brick vault and the
engine house. The fire started at about
1:30 o'clock, and in an hour most of the
buildings were destroyed. A fierce
wind was blowing at the time threaten
ing the spread of the flames beyond
control of the fire department.. Help
was telegraphed for here andt the Silsby
fire engine was all ready to start, when
it was found that there was no fiat cal
at the Northwestern depot to transport
the engine on and the project had to be
given up. Cornish, Curtis & Greene
estimate their loss at between $4,000
and $4,000, on which there is an insur-
ance of $40, 900. The Northwestern
company's loss is some $4,000, insured
for 81 900. With a firm resolve to rise
above the disaster that has befallen
them, Messrs. Cornish, Curtis & Greene
are already Setting their house in or.
der" with the intention of rebuilding
their plant forthwith. Men of thei1
character and pluck cannot be downec
very easily. Their enterprise, integrity
and good business qualifications are
known all over the northwest, and the
sympathy for the firm in their misfor
tune is widespread.
