Ten Lives.

Ten Lives.
A fire occurred on North Street, Bos-
ton. early on the morning Of the I'd, re-
sulting in the death of at least ten per-
sons. The fire originated in a mystic
rious manner in the clothing store, 255

name is at present unknown. The
flames quickly communicated to the
floors above, which were occupied
as an Italian boarding house,
and contained large number
OF dodgers. So quickly was the
place wrapped in flames that retreat tol
some Of them was npossible, and they
were roasted to death. Some attempt.
ed to escape by jumping from windows
and thereby received serious injuries
