 with peril to their lives.
 HoReman Fitzgerald of engine No. 10

 The burned district on the northwesterly is bounded by the Boston and Providence
 road, Burke street on the northeast, Ire
 mont street on the southeast and Ssrsield street on ths southwest. Everything on the square was laid fat. The most vslu- able buildings here were the grand stand. valued at $85. 900 and incurred for $40. 0.000, and Walpols school. The city loses Wal. pole school and three engines worth $20,- W. 4hO ou tu0 boutu eluo OL Burke street were destroyed, but the flames were prevented from spreading to the opposite side. If they had gotten seross there is no telling where they would have stopped. The fremen made great fight at Burke and Fremont streets. Tho fire had worked its way to this point, and even got into the building on the corner, 6 four-story brick affair, but although the place was badly gutted, the walls still stand.
 When the flames stretched their fiery tongues across Fremont street about 6:30 ?. m., wooden and brick buildings on the southeast side of that street were rapidly consumed. It was in an endesvor to pre- vent this passage of the fire that three engines were disabled. From Fremont street the flames passed in the direction of Cabot street, every building in its path being destroyed with the exception of two or three on the latter strest, near the corner of Windsor. At this point special efforts were made to pre- vent progress of the fire and with good success. Numerous streams were directed on the buildings mentioned and after half hours battle all danger of it's spreading was passsd. A block of brick buildings on the opposite side of Cabot street caught lire, but were extinguished quickly with put much damage
 A new block of wooden houses on the | corner of Sterling and Cabot streets was .hs Eext to catch. By this means the fire | was conveyed to Windsor street and the | entire block was gutted. By valiant serv- ce st this point the iremen were able to | 'top the spread of the coDasgration in | that direction. On Fremont street, look. ng toward the grand stand, nothing | 'ould be seen but flames and at intervals . l oud crash would be heard as some wall | ell. It was @ matter of comment that the | ire did not catch Hotel Walpole. It was | necessary to remove the greater part of the | of the hotel. Several houses out l tide the fire limits caught in the flying em. 'ers and were in many cases badly dam. 'Sed.
 At 7:3O it became apparent that the members of the department, with the ss- tstancs of those who came from out of | owp, had control of the situation.
