known as Nevans block, at the corner of
Chauncey street, was the next thing for the
flames, and the entire block clear around
Rowe place to Kingston was consumed.
The fire was partly checked from going
toward Essex street but quickly moved to-
ward the opposite side TO the immense
Allen IL Lanabee buildings occupying the
square between Bedford street, Harrison
avenue extension and Exeter place, at
which point their further progress was
checked. According to the most re-
