A NOTABLE RECORD.
Mrs. Angelina French Went To-day on
Annual Trip to Saratoga Springs.

Among the vacation goers from this
city none is more notable in respect to
a long record at one vacation resort
than Mrs ANGELA French Of North Main
street. who set forth to-day on her I'D
annual trip to Saratoga Springs, n, \.
Since she was a little girl (Mrs. French
Is now s6l, when first taken there by
her father, she has not missed a year,
but has gone regularly to this famous
place, there to spend several weeks in
familiar quarters. Mrs. French was ac-
companied to-day by Miss Agnes French,
who has for many years been her com
panion both here and on the trips to
Saratoga. In spite of her advanced
years, the former is quite strong and
keeps up a keen interest. Although a
city has grown up about her home place
at the corner OF North Main street and
Keith avenue, she maintains things there
Just as they used to be before the death
of her husband, Ephraim E. French, who
was widely known as lawyer.

ABOUT 500 OUT OF WORK.
Cunard and Leyland Lines and New
York Central Workers Hard Hit.

Boston, July 9.The wiping out
OF the entire water front of East Bos
ton, so far as foreign steamship trade
and traffic Is concerned and the des
truction Of 50 many valuable buildings
of the New York Central railroad, comes
as severe blow to the workers Of the
railroad company and the Cunard and
Leyland steamship companies. Last
night it was estimated that about 600
men were thrown out Of work, tenn
porarily at least The subsequent hard
ships and sufferings will come particu-
larly hard on the families of the freight
handlers and longshoremen who reside
in East Boston.
A day or two previous to the arrival
and sailing of steamers at the Cunard
and Leyland lines it was stated last
night that about 300 longshoremen are
engaged at the dock of both the Lev
land and Cunard companies. There is
an Office force of about 40 men at the
Cunard company and about the same
number at the Leyland line. 1t is be-
lieved that many of these men will find
employment wherever the steamship
company's vessels may dock.
The hardest blow of all win come to
the office force and the freight hand
lers of the New York Central 1t is
not thought that there viii be any work
iot them until the grand Junction docks
are again built.

may have been an -outgrowth OF the
harsh treatment.
Last night he first began to make trou.
bic for Sheriff Tracy and became quite
violent. This morning Drs. {. Il. Chan.

Loss Of Sl,5OO,OOO at East
Boston Last Evening
AND ONE MAN WAS KILLED
Fire Started Either From Locomotive
Spark or From Spontaneous Com
bustion Made Rapid Progress
Along Water Front.

Boston, July 0.---The East Boston
hsrbor front was swept by fire last
night to the extent of $1,50O,O00 dam
age, the eonhagration starting either
from spontaneous combustion or from
a locomotive spark. The Boston & AL
hany railroad was the chief loser. Dan.
el Sullivan, watchman at the Gun.
ard pier. is reported missing.
The fire was the most destructive that
has occurred along the harbor front in
many years. The flames spread with
remarkable rapidity, and by the time
the first fire fighting apparatus arrived
the fire was beyond control, and leap
ing from pier to pier.
Within an hour after the first burst
Of flame was discovered four piers,
three warehouses, grain elevator con-
tanning 10000 bushels of grain and
many loaded freight cars had been de.
stroyed.
Several vessels and lighters narrowly
escaped destruction The big Leyland
line steamer Davonian, was moored at
one OF the piers which was destroyed,
but the craft was warped out into The
stream without sustaining any damage.
Less fortunate was the British bark
Belmont of Yarmouth, n. s. The Bel
mont was moored by the pier where the
FIRE started BY the time the vessel
was moved to place of safety her
superstnlcture and rigging bad been
practically destroyed. The FIVE mastcd
schooner Paul Palmer and the four
pasted schooner o. II. Brown were con
siderably damaged,
The burned area includes piers | and
2 of the Grand Junction docks. and the
rier on which stood the big grain ele-
yator, all owned by the Boston & Al
bsny railroad company and used by
the steamers Of the Cunard line and
pier six, owned by the Leyland line.
The fire started at Ais p. M. in the
warehouse Of pier /. Grand Junction
docks. In this warehouse was stored
an immense quantity Of combustible
material, including wool, Egyptian cot
ton, grease, oil. First slight burst Of
f.ame was seen, then a cry was raised
ard three minutes later the entire ware
boise from end to end was mass OF
flames, At the time the fire was dis
covered there were about 100 laborers
at work on the pier and with all Of
them II was race for lift.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
of shore and the flames did not worl;
back from the water front. Had the
wind blown from almost any other
quarter with the same intensity IT i
probable that East Boston would have
suffered the fate which befell the all
joining city of Chelsea last April
On account of the proximity Of the
fire to its East Boston ferry slips, the
ferry boats Of the marrow gauge" road
suspended operations completely, max
ing it impossible for thousands Of sub
urbanites living in Winthrop. Revere
and Lynn. to reach their homes, while
thousands of others who had been en-
ioying days outing at the beach re-
sorts were unable to return to the city
until late hour last night.

many Bryan supporters here was cut
down at midnight last night. The news

The wreckage of the banner caught
in telephone and telegraph wires and
is suspended in limp bundle about ten
feet above the street.
