LIVE WIRES IN THE STREETS.
A Perfect Network of Them over the
Burned District.

BOSTON, Mass, November 28.-All over
the burned district ran the wires Of almost
every electric company in the city and espec-
tally on the higher buildings the wires were
a perfect network before the fire. The dam
age done can hardly be estimated, cables of
electric wires, single wires and whole poles
OF wires are now hanging in every street, al
ley and area. Along Essex street and for a
Dlock back from Washington street the wires
are mostly standing and In good condition,
put WITHIN the territory bounded by Sum-
mer, Lincoln, Essex and Chauncy streets
every wire Is down or hanging in long fes-
toons from the gaping and blackened walls.
In many instances the insulating material
enclosing cables and electric light wires,
has been burned off and the bare
wires are hanging in the streets, causing
the iremen considerable apprehension,
and giving rise to rumors about per-
sons getting shock and being injured.
This, however, Is probably incorrect,
as all companies having wires running
through the burned district have shut
OIL the power on these circuits, render
ing the wires harmless. The linemen of the
different companies, although already on the
ground. have not commenced active work as
yet, 1t being impossible at the present time
to Identity the wires or to DO any practical
good, as the fire, althoughed tanned, is not
yet dead and the danger would be too great,
The only work being done in this direction
Is by the linemen of the municipal fire alarm
service who are wherever possible, keeping
the alarm service in good order.

THE CITY OF SHOES.
Work o; Rebuilding To iBe Actively
Carried On.

LYNN, November 2S.-From now on until
the weather stops work, there will be busy
scenes in the devastated district.
B. F.Spinney and W. M. Currier have
both issued notices asking for 100 men each,
to commence work at once at clearing away
the debris from the sites of their recent mag
nificent buildings. Other firms and men will
at once follow,for there is on all sides deter
mination to replace the burned buildings as
soon as possible, that the business OF the
shoe manufacturers and the interests of the
working, people may not suffer more than is
tions were made at city hall today for build
ing permits, and both of these buildings will
be of brick, where once stood wooden struct-
ures. This and the way III which the own
ers of the destroyed factories talk indicate
most clearly the energy that will speedily re-
build the district.
There is an enormous amount of work to
be done. There are thousands of tons of
brick to be removed, hundreds OF yards of
masonry to be rebuilt and ork for more car
penters than will in all probability be Sc
cured.
This means that if they choose many, if
not all of the men who are out of employ
ment. will find. temporary employment
will be a great demand for bricklayers and
carpenters, and this demand will hardly be
met unless the supply comes from abroad.
Today there were on many corners men
who almost begged members of the crowds
to take off their coats and go to work.
One manufacturer said that he wanted to
commence at once and rebuild upon
his site, but had not been able to get enough
men to go to work upon the ruins to pay him
for making start
II don't like to advertise for men in the

at their trade to be sure, but they can do the
work asked of them, and can earn fair wages
until thelfactories start up when they. can
