destroyed two houses in the heart of this

morning. Itissupposed to have originated
in the garnet of the residence Of Thomas
II. Green, as the flames were first seen
coming from his garnet window. Mr..
Green was aroused by the cracking noise
produced by the flames. 1t was too late to
do anything but try and save the furniture,
which they did to some extent.
The house of John w. Moore, which
stood within u few feet OF Mr.. Green's
house, soon took fire and was also de-
stroyed. He saved most of his furniture
and clothing.
Mrs. West and daughters. who occupied
part Of Mr.. Moores house, also succeeded
in saving most OF their goods.
+. IL. Heathers house also took fire once
or twice, but the flames were extingushed
through the faithful efforts of men, who
carried many buckets of water and kept
the house as wet as possible, and put out
the fire as soon as 1t was seen.
Both houses were partially insured. Mr..
Green is q member OF the firm of j. Green
d Brother, phosphate manufacturers and
dealers in coal and grain. Mr.. Moore kept
a boarding house and at the time of the
lire had several permanent boarders.

ticoke river. He says that if company
could be formed to take up lot of the
vacant land in Dorchester, he would
