BIG BOSTON ELEVATOR BURNED.
Two Sailors Drowned-Loss 81 200, 900
Whisky DESTROYED.

A dispatch from Boston last night says:
The immense grain elevator of the Boston
and Maine Railroad Company, one of the
largest in the world, together with three of
the company's freight houses on piers Nos.
/ and 2, Mystic wharf, Charlestown, were
burned tonight, entailing a loss that will
exceed 81 100000.
During the fire eleven sailors of the Allan
line steamer Austrian, which was lying at
pier /, jumped overheard to save themselves
from the flames, which lad communicated
to the vessel, and Fred Mckenzie and
James Gallagher were drowned. The other
men were picked up by tugboats and re-
moved to a hospital. None of them suffered
seriously. One of the wharf employees Is
reported as missing.
Before the fire on board the Austrian
could be gotten under control by the fleet
OF tuSboats that had hauled her out into
the stream, all her upper works had been
burned. The steamer arrived yesterday
and had discharged part of her cargo, this
portion which included 10000 worth of
Scotch whisky, being burned in the freight
house.
The fire started during a heavy thunder
storm when a bolt of lightning struck the
northeast end of freight house in which
was stored quantity of hay.
The elevator was built about ten years
ago and had a capacity of 100000 bushels
but as near as can be figured t held not
over 1OOO 600 bushels of grain tonight.
The loss on the elevator will be at least
$500 600, and on the contents 100000 more

tents, their piers and to the steamer Aus

Rink, who is attending Mrs. Biddle, says
she has been living on her nerve during
the day, but that she is seriously injured
and her condition is critical.
Although the atrociouS crime has stirred
the men of Burlington to a point where
they are determined that the law shall

knock. AS she opened it a negro jumped
into the house, trust revolver into her
face and exclaimed:
Money your life!'
Behind him came two others both armed
with revolvers. One of the men the woman
recognized as a man named TimberS who
formerly worked for her husband, and who
has frequently been in the house of correc-
tion The negroes demanded that Mrs. Bid
die give them all the money she had

piled. The negroes promised not to harm
her and she went to a hiding place and

money the negroes leaped upon the little
woman, tied her hands behind her, stuffed
a handkerchief in her mouth and at the
muzzles of their revolvers forced her up
stairs to her room, where her two-year-
old enid was asleep. T'.ere they left her.
After struggling for some time she freed
her hands that had been tied with hair
ribbon. Then, taking her child in her arms
she managed to walk from the house
through a long cornfed to the home of
John Antrim, neighbor. Mr.. Antrim. at
once drove to the farm houses in the neigh
