The Boston fire on the night of May 10
covered space Of twenty acres. AS far as
can be learned six persons we're injured,
none fatally.
The FIRE started in the Boston League park
and was carried by flying sparks SO as 10
soon cover the ent square between tho
ball grounds and fremont street, and ex-
tending north from Walpole street to Burke
street, was a mass of burning buildings.
The Sherwin kindergarten school house, a
brick structure, checked the progress OF the
FIRE for only q moment. And that too was
quickly mum bered among the structures con-
Rumed.
The buildings on the south side OF Walpole
street were soon burned. The flames shot
down toward Coventry street, on that SIDE
Of fremont nearest the ball grounds. Ihey
swept on in this direction for three squares,
as far as Burke street
50 RAPIDLY did the fire eat its way that
those in the blocks adjoining fremont street
did not have time to save their household
effects and barely escaped with their lives:
By clock the contagratlon had crossed
fremont to Cabot street.
Soon the fire department. of several subur-
ban cities were aiding the Boston bremen
but the fire could not be checked.
About 100 buildings are burned.
A special meeting of the board of alder
men was called to take action on the exlgen
cies Of the case and it was voted to use tht
surplus of $4,000 now held by the trustees O
the Johnstown food fund, and which wal
collected for the sufferers by flood at Johns
town, for the relief of the 1000 people made
homeless by the fire. An adjourned meet
| ing will be held when some furthe. mean
will be devised to aid those in distress.
| Prominent insurance men place the los
at 81, 100000 and insurance at two-thlrds

NEW YORK. May 17.-There have been 5Ot~
900 tons Of England and Nova Scotia coal
sold to arrive in New York, portion at
which has already been shipped from Cardiff,
Liverpool and Glasgow, and from Sidney,
N. s. w. The cost is within 45 to 80 cents
per ton Of the ordinary price of soft steamer
coil delivered alongside New York. The
bulk Of this has been taken by the com pa
nies supplying steamers to fill their con-
tracts.
There are negotiations on foot for the pur-
chase of 100000 tons more to be delivered
between the 1st and 10th of June by the
same parties for the same purpose. From this
fact it is inferred that the companies intend
fighting the strike to the finish. The pres
ent low rates Of ocean freights make it pos
sible to bring coal from England il unlim-
tied quantities.
An agent of one of the leading coal com
panies. which supplies the foreign steam
ships with their coal for the return trips, anG
a member of the produce exchange, has
bought much of the above purchases by
cable, an6 says the rates OF freight paid or
them consists only of the cost of loading
and discharging the coal. and says they vii
continue to import coal until the strike il
ended.

Topeka Mail: There has been a large
amount of fruit set out this spring
about Rochester, and it appears TO be
doing fine. The farmers are beginning
to realize that there is greater profit in
the fruit business than any other branch
of farming.
A junction City correspondent says
that with the one exception OF the oat
crop. central Kansas has never had
brighter prospects than at present. The
recent heavy rain extended over the en-
tire section. 1t rained nearly all the
forenoon, and for a time near evening
there was heavy pouring. Winter wheat
is in magnificent condition. Corn has
been planted and is up and with a per-
feet stand. Apples and fruits Of all
kinds promise heavy crop.
Independence Tribune: Looking over
Montgomery county now, one sees a
, prospect that fancy could not picture.
We have had the warm rains in abun-
dance and cheering sunshine, and never
was finer agricultural prospect dis

and it ls very fine with much Of il all

Are Complaining Bitterly.

Atchison wholesale merchants are COM
planning bitterly of the freight rate tight
It is paralyzing business and will result in
heavy losses to the wholesalers IN all the
different lines. ,
A retailer in the interior can get heavy
hardware in less than car load lots at just
one-half the freight rate the Missouri river
wholesalers had to pay on car loads: The
wholesaler has to sell on the basis of exist
ING rates to hold his trade. The only way
he can recover is to buy now and receive
goods on these cut rates that he can sell on
Sasis Of current rates when they are restored
