In the Bay State house, across Main
street, the explosion caused CONSERVATION
among the guests. Four men were sent
To the roof Of the hotel TO prevent the
sparks from catching there. The whole
question at this time, hung on whether
the iron shutters on the south end of the
Flagg building would hold the flames
back. Thousands of dollars worth of
property depended on this.
The Goulding block was down. The
northern half Of the new Day block, rang
ing far back, was in ruins the fire was
bclching forth in seething mass. Law
ycrs who have offices in the bank block
rushed out with arms full Of books and
bills TO get them TO places OF safety.
The crashing walls ON Main street tore
down the electric light aud power lines
At 400 fire broke out on the Walnut
street side OF the Day building and Grace
church and Hotel Parker on the opposite
side of the street were threatened. Jensen S

A BIG BLAZE.
CONTINUED from Page l.)

Goulding building was soon in worse
shape than the Day block.
The block 10 the north, Nos 300 and 302,
known as the Goulding was recently pur-
chased by John f. Day and reiltted. This
is occupied by T.. ID. Burlington, wholesale
druggist, at 800 and on the second floor.
Up stairs are Henry Walker barber, i.
Battelle, teacher; and III. Nj. Coaturc,
feather work 1t is a four story building.
The FIRE had been burning but few
minutes when it burst through the south
wall of the Goulding block, and soon that
building was roaring furnace Dense
smoke from the drugs poured out in
sitting volumes.
AT O'Clock the north wall of the
Goulding building fell into Sudbury street
with terrific crash. Several loud explo-
sions followed These, with the ringing
shouts of the flremen, putting engines, the
kissing of many hose and hydrant
streams, the cracking and roaring of the
flames, made the widest kind of pande-
monium. At 4;l5 o'clock it looked as if
the flames would surely cross Sudbury
street, very narrow thoroughfarc, and
have feast on the Flagg building at the
north. They worked away from the six
story block of the Worcester Five Cent
Savings Bank amid millions of sparks
and flying embers. The flames ate their
way steadily all the while back to the
west and around toward the Walnut
street l. Of the Day block. As the appa-
ratus from the outskirts arrived and
more streams were put on without per
ccptible effect it became evident that
Worcester had on hand the worst fire in
a decade The insurance fire patrol made
frequent trips till its blankets and covers
were all spread.
At o'clock Chief Vaughn sent to Bos-
ton, Fitchburg and Springfield for help.
Chief Webber of Boston answered that
one company was ON the way by special
train. At 4:30 Captain williamson said
the loss would not be less than $3.50, 0oO
Colonel Hopkins was early on the scene
and rescued his law books from his office
in the Five Cent Savings Bank.
Mr.. Sanford Of the Sanford -Sawtelle
company attempted to get into his safe
to remove several hundred dollars in
money left the night before, but was
driven back by the smoke.
The fire started i'm the boiler room Of
the A. :. Lowell company and shot up
ward through the building.
Six streams played on the front of the
building had no perceptible effect Every
cover put on by the patrol company was
lost. From 4;15 TO 4 80 the firemen put in
stubborn fight to keep the flames from
crossing Sudbury street. AT :33 the front
wall of the upper two stories of the
Goulding block fell out into Main street
with a fearful crash Two minutes later
the rest of the front wall fell out with a
series of reverberating thunders. The
firemcn at the corner were in panic,
but only for moment then they Were
back to the attack.

1t has already been widely cir
