TuE CITY OF LYNN DEVASTATED BY
FIRE.
Lynn, Massachusetts, the city fa-
nous for shoe factories, was visited
on Tuesday, 26th, by the greatest
fire in its history, and with two ex-
ceptions, the conhagratlon is the
most disastrous that has ever befal-
len New England. The fire started
with fury about noon and ragged with
fury for over eight hours, devastat-
ing square mile of the business
section of the city and causing
loss estimated at $40, 0,000,0 Bos-
ton and all the neighboring towns
sent aid from their fire brigades.
The Item, Bee, Press, and News
daily newspaper offices were burnt.
Three national bank buildings--the
Central, Security, and First National
went down. Twelve of the finest
shoe blocks in the city and about
twenty-five stores are in ruins. The
Central Congregational Church was
burned. Over 5000 persons are de-
prived of employment and 200 fami-
lies are homeless. Dynamite and
powder were used at frequent inter-
walls to blow up the wooden build
ings, but with little effect. The fire
burned down to the ocean, virtually
exhausting itself, and was not got
under control until 1880 p. IN.
THE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL.
The revolution in Brazil has not
been reversed. a provisional gov
ernment is organized to protect life,
property, and freedom. Under
largely extended suffrage the elect
ors will be called on to send repre-
sentatives TO Il constituent assembly,
which will frame constitution on
the model of that of the United
States. In the meantime provincial
assemblies will be dissolved. Dele
gates to the International American
Congress will not be intsrfered with,
as their work was intended for the
benefit of the country rather than
that of the dynasty.
