At4:35 o'clock the alarm was rung in
from box 81. 1t was soon followed by
general alarm. The flames broke out in
tho toy department OF Horace Partridge
& Co., who occupied the fifth and sixth
floors OF the seven.story building on the
corner OF Essex and Lincoln streets,
owned by 4. l.. Ames. The cause is at
present unknown, but the start is de-
scrlbed by those nearest it as resem-
bling the bursting OF fire cracker. The
flames spread with incredible rapidity,
and in a very few moments the entire
interior was burning. There were many
employees OF tho Partridge company at
work ut the time, aud tho other floors Of
the building were sprinkled with hui
man beings.
Tho usual avenues OF escape were at
once cut oil and then began scramble
for life which sickened beholders. The
panic stricken inmates fled to windows
and roof. Some escaped by sliding
down telegraph poles, others by leaping
into blankets and nets. Several jumped
to the pavement six or eight stories
and were terribly mangled, and others,
how many cannot now be told, fell
back into tho cauldron OF flames or
were overcome by the dense black
smoke which sulocated all who did not
speedily escape. Tho entire fire de-
partment was speedily on the scene,

Vast crowds OF people began at once
to flock to the scene, aud as q matter of
precaution Governor Russell speedily
ordered two companies Of militia under
arms and proceeded to the fro in por-
son, where hc was SOON joined by
Mayor Matthews. The fire spread rap
idly from building TO building and de-
spite the heroic efforts Of the entire fire

trollcd until the whole square bounded

GRAND BEGINNING
The MeikisJohn a Lom,s Series OF Concerts
Opens AuspiclousIy.

Opens Auspiciousiy.
The music loving people OF Pawtucket
are greatly indebted to Messrs. Meikle-
John :Lomas for the high. class COM
psnsss with which this city has been
favored for the past four or Ave years.
These gentlemen, Messrs. Meiklejohn
Il Lomas, located In the Sheldon Build
ing, are the real pioneers of a course Of ar
tistic entertainments In this city and the
patronage they have acquired is guar.
antee that the people appreciate their ef-
forts.
The entertainment last evening was the
hrst OF the sevent h series, and II the re-
msinder OF the Winter programme Is as
good as the first number, the treat will be
a rare one.
The principal artist OF last night was
Franz Wilczek, the Austrian violinist.
1t was some time before he learned his
hearers that he was an artist, but when
he impetuously wound up his "Grand
Fantasie" with some brilliant work In
chords, staccato and pizzicato, there was
big applause.
But even this did not satisfy Wiiczek.
Toward the end OF the programme he was
down for Ssrasste's fiery "Zapateady," :"
and he threw his whole lie into the "in-
strument without master" lie came
nearly rs near mastering It as anyone
Pawtucket ever saw.
Mrs. WIlczok, prettily dressed In cream
white, but itili devoted to the old time
trick of balancing her violin In the air
with her dimpled cnln, gave a very sweet
and smooth Interpretation of DeBet OTIS
"Fautasi Ballet"
One OF the most catchy instrumental
selections OF the evening VAS the bsgpipe
imitation by Mr.. WilcZek, MRS. Wilczek
playing second" in most artistic style.
All In all, the Wilczeks have made last.
Ing Impression I'm this city.
The Schubert Ladies Quartette, with
three numbers on the programme, added
to their iaurels In this city. Thoy rem
dered Dreams" ""Oid Folks at Home"
and vociftrous encores In an elect rofying
aud charming manner. Their rendition
OF Pinsuti's "Good Night" was a splendid
termination OF the entertainment.
The entire concert VAS OF a finished ma
ture. The work Of Maria Eek hardt, as m
accompanist, and her accurate rendit on
OF LISTS "Rhapsodie" gained for her
many friends who recognized In her a
conscientious art iste.
Bernard Einsteine and Inez Parmater
were very acceptable additions tn the pro-
gramme, ana all In all, the entertainment
was one of which the city should be proud,
and the remainder of the Meiklejonn Il
Lomas series should be well pstronized.
