with great rapidity, and it was not until after
three hours work, with the assistance OF the
fire engines of other cities. that the devour:ng
element WAS controlled. Three dead bodies

way south to the rear of the United States
Hotel, and west 10 the building occupied by
Brown. Durrell & Co., at the corner of Kings
ton and Essex streets.
The confagration, as viewed from distance,
was grand. A dense pail of black smoke
covered that section of the city, and as dark
ness came on, this was lighted up by the flames,
while occasional flashes of fire and burning en-
bers shot up into the ebony mass.
Near to the scene was awful. While the
Ames Building was burning there were re-
peated explosions like fireworks, mingled with
the hoarse shouts of fremen, the Changing and
putting OF engines, the crash of falling walls,
the rumble from hurrying teams, and the surg
ing of the vast crowd, which soon gathered and
rushed to and fro in everybody's way.
Ii was the most destructive fire that has oc-
Cured in Boston since November 2S. 1889, when
two and-a -a-half acres of business houses were
destroyed causing loss of about S6,000,000.
The great fire of 1872 broke out on the evening
of November 9 and ragged uncontI oiled until
noon the following day, destroying 500 business
houses, occupied by 1,S00 firms, entailing loss
of $50, 0,000,0 600 and ID lives.

He Got the Crowd.


Two men of betting proclivities were navi-
eating down Nassau street yesterday afternoon
in the rain through the procession of people
which nuctuates between the bridge and Beck
man street. Crossing Frankfort street one of
them said:
In five minutes time could have a crowd
here without saying word myself that would
nearly block traffic"
"l'll bet you box of cigars that you don't
do il now" said the other.
His companion hesitated, but as he had made

just at that moment little negro dwarf
with a large bald head came around the corner
from Spruce street. He held soft hat in his
haud and had large red wafer stuck on his
forehead. across which he had plastered strip
of thicker paper which he had picked up He
was very drunk.
The little man pointed to his head and
shouted: This is my badge of Office Clear
the way there for an officeholder." He stood
opposite the Horace Greeley statue and was
iostled alternately from one side to the other
by the people passing up and down town. The
man who had bet that he could draw a crowd
saw his chance. He stopped in the middle of
the sidewalk and stared fxedly at the negro,
needless of the jostling he got.
Other people began to stop, too, and in a
minute the negro was the center of ring of
people Those outside the ring were wild to
see what was going and soon more than 200
had gathered, and the street car had to STOP
The negro began to yell and gesticulate, and
tried to get into the Tribune Building but was
stopped. He stood on the steps of the Tribune
Building and began an address to the crowd.
Finally two policemen come along and scattered
the crowd, aud the negro few down Spruce
street.
The bet had been won In two minutes.

which followed so promptly upon the an
nouncement of the serious loss that had be-
fallen the battalion in the death on Monday,

In the great bereavement that has come to
us our fellow soldiers by their considerate re-

sorrow, and taught us ihat our loss was to be
regarded as public and general rather than as
personal. and that our Major had many appre-
ciative friends outside of his own military
