THE MEssoNIERs OF ORIENTAL ART AT PUBLIC AUcTIoN-TREAsUREs FROM THE PALACE HALLS, MosQUEs AND HAREMs OF THE OLD WoRLD.-Admirer of the beau tiful and artistic in household decoration will be greatly interested in the fine dis play of antique and oriental rugs made by Forbes $ Wallace of Springfield. A eata- logue comes to us to-day; anybody can get copy by writing for it. This collec- tion is large and varied, comprising near ly four hundred pieces of different sizes, shapes and kinds; and will be sold at pub- lie auction Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week. The rugs vary, of course, in age and value. An eye that is once accustomed to recognize the peculiar oriental character in a rug, and under stand the mystic language it seems to speak can make no mistake, and is not likely to be imposed upon. The peculiar charm and characteristic of these rugs are their perfect naturalness. The soft yet deep colors, the strength of texture. and the charming irregularity of the most per- feet designs suggest the beauty of natural scenery, and an equally unmistakeable. Even if one has no thought of buying the educational benefit to be derived from this exhibition is very considerable.

 A thrilling incident of the Boston fire: When the fire in the Brown-Durrell build- ing was at it's height the form of 8 man was seen at an eighth story window. He boldly seized one of the large insulated cables which contain 8 large number of electric wires and proceeded to cross to the opposite building hand over hand. He had gone but few feet, when it became apparent he could not last long, and great ly to the crowds relief he threw both legs over the one-half inch cable, which slight | ly sagged, and slowly and tediously made his way toward the building, 119 Kingston street, to which the cable ran. A large number of life-saving nets, canvasses and cloths were produced, and firemen, police and bystanders vied with each other in holding them, while others shouted hoarse- ly to the imperiled man to drop. To have
 done so seemed to court instant death.
 His white, agonized face could be seen as
 he slowly made his way over the cable. ! Several times the voice of the vast crowd , was hushed as it seemed that the poor be- ing hanging there was lost. All at once
 the crowd broke into cheer, which : seemed to infuse new life into this flag. ging spirit of the fireman. He reached , midway between the two buildings, and Ii , he could only hang on few minutes more he would be saved. Every inch of the } street below was covered with nets. Al
 this point the cloud of smoke cleared
 away and the man was recognized as Dis trict Chief John F. Egan, who had only been out of the house short time, where he was confined with broken collar-bone } A squad of men ran up on the building 5 No. 119 Kingston street, and slowly low cred the cable to which Egan was hang ing. At the same time hook and ladder IA erected ladder to meet the slowly de scending man. The cable was played ou l slowly and the exhausted man gradual. came nearer terra firma. In few sec onds he swung into the arms of his com rades, released his hold, and, weak as rat, was carried from the scene. A shou of triumph and applause came forth iron } the throats of the vast assembly.

BOSTON is again the victim of a great fire, the biggest since Thanksgiving day, 1889, and the total loss is not less than $4,OOO, ,00O, and not less than four persons were burned to death, besides nearly thirty persons injured, some very seriously, by leaping from the windows. Under the circumstances the smallness of the loss of life is 8 surprise. The fire began at the corner of Lincoln and Essex streets, in the Ames building, in which was located the Horace Partridge toy and fife works establishment. Almost simultaneously with the giving of the alarm the building was a mass of flames, and the windows were full of people who could not get down the stairs. One man was fatally hurt by jumping. Some of the men got down telegraph poles. Many girls leaped into nettings or horse blankets held for them, few of these getting more or less injury. The fire spread into and con- stunned several adjoining buildings and a general panic followed. At one time a general conaagration like that of 1873 was feared. The fire departments of several suburban cities were called upon for aid, even Springfield having at one time en- zines in readiness for start. The dis trict burned has been before devastated by fire, and it is surprise that the build ings since erected were so poorly planned to resist conflagration.

Once Inside tho Harbor She May
Attack the AquIdaban.

II was announced this morning that
the Brazilian submarine gun vessel De-
stroycr. which is expected to leave for
southern waters the latter part OF this
week, had registered as an American
vessel belonging to the Ericsson heirs.
Her gross tonnage was given as l2s and
net tonnage as g.
This fact. In addition to the statement
Of n member OF the firm OF Flint & Co.
that Destroyer will probably iy the
AmericOn flag until she reaches Brazil.
Is taken TO indicate that the submarine
gun vessel will have Unclc Sans protec-
tion until safely landed in a Brazilian
port.
This can easily be secured, for De
stroyer still belongs to the Ericsson
heirs. and will not be purchased by
Brazil urtil she does effective work. AS
Destroyer goes out in tow she could

with. the american flag tying she will
not be molested.
The plan OF Minister Mendonca is said
TO be to have Destroyer raise the Bra
lillian flag in the harbor OF Rio Janeiro
and then try her submarine gun on
Aquidnhan. Before substituting the fiag
OF Brazil for the Stars and Stripes It
would be necessary for Peixoto's Gov
ernment to purchase the Destroyer, but
this could be done for the nominal price
10 be paid as an option.
Provided the plan Is carried out naval
men expect revelation In warfare at

Destroyer will probably move as quietly
as did the monltor at Hampton Roads,
and that she may be Just as much a
surprise to the formidable Aquidaban as
was Ericsson's first invention to the

Mechanics this morning were busy on
the Destroyer at Erie Rasir arranging a
bed for gun to be placed on the for

The present plans OF Flint & Co. are
TO send the Yarrow torpedo boat to
