Salem, Mass.-Twelve million dol
lars is the estimated property loss as
result of a conflagration which ragged
in this historic "old witch" city from
early Thursday afternoon until early
Friday More than 1000 buildings OF
Salem were laid waste.
The burned district followed a
rough semicircle three miles in length
and varying in width from half mile
to mile and half. The loss of life
so far as known was restricted to three
persons.
Mrs. Jennie Cunningham. whose
body was recovered from her tene-
ment home on Lafayette street.
Samuel p. Withey, burned to death
in his home on Prescott street, to
which he had returned to save some
personal belongings after he had once
escaped.
A third body, found in the mill dis
trict but SO badly burned that 1t was
impossible to determine the sex.
At least 10000 persons, a fourth OF
the city's population, were made home
less and thousands passed the night in
the open. Many hundreds were. shell
tered in schools. churches anG public
buildings in this city and Beverly.
Before the fire had been fairly
checked, relief measures and plans for
rebuilding were under way. Governor
Walsh, Lieutenant Governor Barry and
Secretary of State Donohue spent the
night here, The governor announced
that 5000 tents and 10000 rations
would be shipped to the city at once.
In the midst of the gloom, caused by
the staggering blow to the city, resi-
dents found cause for thankfu.ness in
and the museums with their priceless
collections of antiquities were saved.
The birthplace of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, the House of Seven Gables"
and the old custom house were threat
ened for a time and the flames ap-
preached dangerously close to the
Peabody Museum and the Essex Insti-
tute, but none of these structures was
damaged.
From O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
when terrific explosion occurred in
the factory Oh IHe MOTH IedlHeT SOm-
pany at Proctor and Boston streets.
the flames ragged practically un-
checked until midnight The explosion
is thought to have occurred among
chemicals used in the manufacture of
patent leather. This factory stood near
the foot of Gallows Hill, famous as the
hanging-pl of witches in the early
Colonial days. at the western end of
the city. A high wind carried the
flames through the manufacturing dis
trict and thence southeastward to the
heart of the city and across tnickly
populated tenement district to the wa.
ter front.
Measures for the relief of the $4,000
persons made homeless in the confla.
grafton proceeded rapidly. More than
$500 were directly dependent upon the
relief committee for shelter. while
