the path Of the flames and in the carry
stages of the fire some household goods
were taken there for safety. AS there
were no extensive houses in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the cemetery, these goods
were found intact this morning while
the trees Of the cemetery were scarcely
scorched. All about the area, however,
was sdesolation, former houses being To-
Gated only by standing chimneys.

the burned district was begun early to-
, day and at noon Broadway was open d.

danger of spreading disease. The officials
looked into this matter Immediately and

The destruction of the Boston & Albany
Railroad bridge across Chelsea creek cut
off rail communication with steamship
piers at the Grand Junction docks in
East Boston and the big liners ordinarily
using these docks will have to move
