worst Confiagration Since Thanksgiving
Day, Three Years Ago-The Whole

department of Horace Partridge & Co.,
who occupied the fifth and sixth floors Of
the seven-stOry Ames building. The fire
spread with incredible rapidity, and in a
very few moments the interior of the build
ing was a mass Of flames. The usual
avenues of escape for the hundreds of men
and women employed therein were at once
cut off and the imprisoned people fed to
windows and roofs. Some escaped by slid.
ing down telegraph poles, others by leaping
into blankets and nets. Several jumped tc
the pavement, six or eight stories, and were
terribly mangled. The entire fire depart
ment OF the city was speedily on the scene

and help from more distant cities was in
readiness to respond. AS matter of pre-
caution Governor Russell ordered out two
companies Of militia to prevent panic and
to protect property. The huildnun hurne ed

started; Lincoln building, five stories, on
opposite corner, on site of old crystal pal

three small buildings between the Anne

a mile of the fire were packed by crowds O
people, but the police provisions were ad
mirable, and the work of the firemen wa
not impeded. Many perilous escapes fror
death are recorded, and the story, as told i
detail by the Boston press, is intensely in
terestng and thrilling. The estimated in
surance on the property destroyed is 81

by an earthquake. A panic ensued and the

town stood and the adjacent country within
the radius OF q square mile had settled
twenty feet. The disaster was caused by q
landslip. The town is built upon compar-
atively low cliff close to the sea. The
waves are believed to have undermined the
cliff, which then settled and slipped toward
the water, carrying with 1t the town. Two

acres Of land and bonus of 81 ,OOO, 900, which

misdeeds and mistakes of the legislature.
The article was read in the senate and the

the house was ordered, the doors were closed
and the sergeant-at-arms dispatched to ar
rest absentees. A number were routed from
bed, brought to the assembly chamber, and
the required vote thus finally obtained.
