 LYNN, Nov. 27.-The city to-day is we'll patro1led by the militia. Six companies, 250 men in all, are on duty. The men are sta tioned at the entrances of the ruined streets, barring all approach to the burned district. Guards are stationed at the stores that are but partially cleaned out to prevent thieves from taking what is left of the property. No one is permitted to pass the guards without a permit from the city clerk.
 Through the associated charities many families were furnished lodging last night in rooms hired at lodging and dwelling houses, and rations of hot soup, crackers and bread are served to all in need of food. As soon as some plan for assistance eau be devised, the work of providing for destitute families will progress rapidly.
 The mayor makes special appeal for clothing at once, as many occupants of the burned tenements lost everything. Mayor Newhall has made a requisition on Gov. Ames for six companies of militia to do po- lice and guard duty.
 The commander of Gen. Lander post No. 5, G. A. R., has profered the services of the members of that post to act as special police and relieve the regular force of officers aad the militia.
 A special meeting of the city council and citizens of Lynn was called by Mayor New hall at the City Hall last night. It was well attended. The mayor appointed the city council a committee on relief. He stated that three school houses ard two churches were open and warmed for the sufferers by the fire, and that the associated charities were located in Father Matthew Hall to &C., commodate poor people. One hundred mat tresses were placed in the Heelers' Assembly Hall. He said offers of relief had been re- eeived from Mayor Richards of Haverhill, Mayor Raymond of Salem and Mayor Wins low of Worcester. The mayors of Chelsea and Portsmouth also sent offers of aid. The mayor is authorized to retain all out-of-town fire apparatus here as long as it is needed. In proportion to it's area and population this city yesterday suffered larger loss by fire than any other city in Massachusetts during the present century. It began like the great fire in Boston in November, 1872, | in buildings that apparently could bs easily reached, and as the flames spread the heat l became so intense that for several hours hu- | mdu bklll tO bthJ tuo nk0 Wo5 OA AO uvoAis ~ was terrible spectacle as the fire progressed | and destroyed building after building. Struo \ lures built with all modern safeguards against | fire could not resist the tremendous volume | of flames.
 l In extent of territory the burnt district of l Lynn is about the same as that of Boston in l 1872 and the loss is relatively about the same l The principal difference between the two fret is the burning of large number Of residsncet | in Lynn, while in Boston the loss was almost
 entirely confined to business houses.
 The early trains from Boston brought many | of the insurance adjusters. None of them expressed surprise at the sweeping conAagra. tion which had visited the shoe city, ,as it hat
 been a common prophecy among them that city of SO many wooden structures must burr
 sometime. The spot where the fire started has often been pointed out as @ dangerous
 locality for blaze. Many of the insurance
 companies have refused to write policies on
 mercantile property in Lynu because of thu
 great hazard and such companies as do write
 do so with a more or less degree of care. Tn
 following list of the insurance companies in
 volved, and the amounts, covers the full los'
 ss estimated by the adjusters. The amount
 are authentic. Several companies have no
 yet reported and in some cases there will b
 slight salvage, but the insurance below
