BosToN, March 81.-A strange coin
cidence in connection with the
terrible confagration of Friday is
that the three great fires in Bos-
tons history-those Of 1872. 1889 and
So.
The estimate of loss-s4, 500, 00O-re-
mains unchanged OF this little over
$1,000, 600 is on buildings, and the re-
mainder on stock.
Five persons are believed to have per-
ished, three are known to have met
death, while Harry Turner, aged Is,
and Lewis Buck, aged 10, employees Of
the Jacquith Rubber Co., are missing.
They were at work on the fifth floor Of
the building, and their bodies are
doubtless in the ruins
Over q score are badly injured and
moro deaths are certain to result
All night long there were little knots
Of sight -seers grouped at intervals all
along the circuit Of the ruina The
"booml booml' of the engines, as they
kept hammering away, made talk diff
cult The inside Of the burned build
ings was lurid with yellow flames, dull,
through the mist of smoke and steam
and clouds of spray. Through it the
broken walls loomed up, black and ter
rible. Here and there was only a oor-
ner standing, two or three feet left on
each side, and there pisce Of side wall
and foot or two left towering up by
some strange freak Of the fire.
Every street in the heart of the fire
district is covered with heap of the
widest mass Of destruction. The de-
bris of walls that had fallen all over
the street covered it with Jagged heaps
of brick.
There were ridged, burnt and torn
pieces of sheet-iron in quantities strewn
about There were tangles of fallen
wires it made one shiver to touch. All
night, after the fire had been we'll un-
der control there was little effort made
TO come to close quarters or to explore
the ruins for bodies
1t was too dangerous and too uncer-
tain in the dark.
Also the work of the department
through the long night watches was al
most wholly confined to pouring on
water from a vantage ground Of securi-
ty and keeping . vigilant watch on tho
lair of the foe.

No phase of American social life at

the sordid longing for the rapid accre-

is not the chief desideratum of exist

THE COMING LABOR DAY.

An Event Which Promises to be One
of Much Interest.
Labor Day for California is under an
Act of the last Legislature, the first Mon
day in October, and the labor element Of
this city, in conformity thereto, will cele-
brate the occasion, not by the usual
parade and picnic. but by general meet
ing of active members OF the labor or
CARNATIONS and their friends, officials of
the State, county and city.
The clergy OF all denominations. the
Judiciary, the Bar Association, are all in
Vited. and many gentlemen representing
these institutions have consented to ad-
dress the meeting, among whom are
Hiram w. Johnson, II. I. Devlin, Revs.
Koehne, Stevenson, Burton and others.
While there have been Labor Day cele-
brations during the two preceding years,
by proclamation OF the Governor. which
have been literally observed, this is the
first regular California Labor Day, and it
is hoped that the Capital City will recog-
nize the day. Corporations and business
firms that cannot possibly SO arrange it
that they can give their employees the
whole day, may perhaps cOncede to them
the afternoon by closing their places of
business at II o'clock, thus affording the
mechanics and clerks the opportunity of
participating in the ceremonies, which
will commence at 2 O'Clock p. Nj. at the
Old Pavilion.
The ball in the evening, at the same
hall, promises to eclipse anything of the
kind heretofore given under such auspices
as the Federation of Labor, and the result
will doubtless prove that the Capital City
is alive to the interests OF the working
members Of the community.

WINTER TERM

Opening of the sacramento school of
Design.
The Sacramento School of Design at
the Art Gallery is announced to reopen
for the winter term on Monday morning.
The school is an institution of credit to
the city. 1t has been the instrument of
much good and ought to be supported. It
is entirely dependent upon the filling of
its chairs. 1t affords advantages for the
training of natural ability in designing
not surpassed by any chool OF is char
acter.
The coming term is to be critical one
withit, and it is hoped that those who
have at any time contemplated sending a
pupil will do so now.
