TOTALLY DESTROYED.
Historic First Parish Church at Con.
cord Burned.
Opinion Entertained by Some That; ffB
Was Set by an IncendIay. i,

Concord, Mass, April 12.-The first
known places of historic interest. was
destroyed by fire at an early hour this
morning. The entire structure was lew
eled to the ground. The fire broke out
just after 2 o'clock. AT 220 an alarm
was rung in, but when the firemen
reached the scene the whole roof was
abaze and II was evident that the fa-
nous structure was doomed. The fire
broke out in the parlors OF the church
and from there spread rapidly to the
main body. From the roof the flames
spread 20 the steeDle and in a short
time the spire was a total wreck. The
bell which had sounded the alarm about
an hour before. fell with a crash at $3.50.
The roof soon followed and long before
daylight the famous church was level
with it's foundations.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Workmen had been engaged about the
church recently renovating the interior,
and there is a theory that the fire
started from spontaneous combustion
in. old rags. However. many" persons
are OF the opinion that the fire was the
work Of an incendiary. Lights were
seen i'm the church at a late hour last
night after all persons who had any
right thore We're suppos>d 10 he Vat
home. The financial loss Is estimated
at $4,000. The church was insured for
$40 900 in 10 different companies.
The church was on the site OF the fa :
nous structure which waslbuilt I'm liz.
in which the first Provincial Congress
was held i'm 1T15. The church contained
many OF the timbers OF the old eiifice.
