RAVAGES OF THE FLAMES
A BIG FREIGHT HOUSE IN RUINS
AT BOSTON.

The Blaze Started in a Bale CT Cotton
and Spread With Incredible Rapidity
"A Portion of the Building Used as
Grain Elevator-Hundreds of spec
tators.
BosroN, April 9.-The freight house of
the Boston and Lowell division of the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad, situated between
Lowell, Minot aud Nashua streets, was
burned this evening, only portion Of the
walls remaining. The structure consisted
of three and one-half story brick build
ing, $50 feet long by 80 feet wide on the
Nashua street side, and another of the same
length, two and one-half stories high, on
Lowell street, the two being connected by
a wooden building $50 feet long on the
Minot street end. Between the two
main buildings were five tracks, and the
whole was covered by one large roof. The
fire was discovered about o'clock in the
Lowell street building among some cotton.
The laborers quickly rolled one bale into
the street, thinking thereby to extinguish
the fire, but it was soon found that other
bales were ablaze, and in an incredibly
short time the entire structure was in
flames.
FREQUENT EXPLOSIONS.
The buildings were filed with an almost
indescribable variety Of general merchan-
disc, including large quantity of oil OF
vitrol, ETC., and frequent explosions served
alike to in timidaue the firemen and cause a
rapid spread of the flames Standing on
the tracks within the structure were forty
five to fifty freight cars, many Of them
loaded, and all were destroyed before they
could be removed. A portion of the larger
building was used as a grain elevator, and
here were stored from 10000 to 10000
bushels of grain, beside a large quantity
of -four. Three alarms were sounded
and it being just the hour when
people were quitting work immense crowds
witnessed the fire from every available To-
cation. AT midnight the fire is still barn
ing, though entirely under control, and it
will probably be many hours tefore the
tiremen's work is completed. 1t is impos-
sible to correctly estimate the loss or insur-
ance, but officials affirm that the loss will
at least aggregate $500,000.

Prohibition

ing liquor case has just been decided at
Mount Pleasant The defendants were
tried on the ordinary liquor selling indict-
ments. The witnesses had, as shown by the
evidence, bought cider in the de
fendant's restaurant. The question
was whether or not the cider is
classed with Intoxicating liquors Judge
Travers said that while cider is at first a
non-intoxicant, it becomes intoxicating in
course of time, and since the law prohibits
the sale of all intoxicating liquors it pre-
vents the sale of cider Judge Travers also
overthrow another ingenious evasion of the
law. In a shanty near Mt. Pleasant
a board partition had made large room on
one side, and small one on the other. A
barrel was set in the partition, and the Gus
toner could deposit his money and get his
drinks without seeing the man in the other
room. This made it possible for tle Gus
toner to swear that he did not see the liquor
seller, aud did not know who he was. The
proprietor in this case is now in jail serving
