Bostoy, Nov. 12.—Chicago is still entitled to the fire monument, In no respect, either of space burned over, value of property destroyed,. eociety disorganized, or population made house- less, is there comparison between your great agony of thirteen months ago and this Bostor sorrow. Chicago burned away and left only the rim of the city. Boston has an air-hole burned up into it from the wharves not relatively larger than the mantel and chimney-piece in an ordina— ry square parlor, This space is hardly one- fifteenth of the thick-necked main~ land part of Boston, and the -general shape of the burned waste is that of a jug-pitcherand handle, the bottom of the pitchexr Testing on the harbor, and being there about 800 feet long, and the pitcher itself rising up to Weshington street, ebout 1,700 feet from the harbor. From side to side the total width of the burned space is also about 1,700 fect. What I have called the handle-part of this pitcher is the space north of Water street, outside of the main waste, made by the fire. The new Post Office granite building, which is two hundred feet long, still stands almost intact between thke top of the pitcher and the space burned back of it, which I have called the han- dle, und right opposite that is the spout of the pitcher, The fire began at the corner of Sum- ner and Kingston streets one hour after dirk last Saturday. It began in & furnace, and burn— ed up through the wooden flue of a storshouse elevator, so that it was discovered in the base- ment and at. the top of the structure ab once. At 8 o'clock, the edifice where it sterted was all blazing and trembling with inward hest A light fresh brisk wind blowing from the north- ‘west and west favored it, but it did give it direc- tion, for instead of blowing toward the water side, it preferred, without known incentive, to start westward and northward, anddevoured tha wholesale business portion of the city. It hed three lines of advance, all burning simultanc- ously from the same genercl centre, At tho corner of Summer and Otis street, near Winthrop square, one line of fire burned in the eye of the wind up Summer street to Washington, and thence along to the corner of Milk street, whero they stopped it with gunpowder ot daylight on Sunday. A second line of fire proceeded with the wind down Summer street to the Hartford & Erie wharf-and depot, and then travelled up tho harbor docks, doing o gocd. deal of work. At sbout midnight the greatest line of fire, receiving reinforcement from iha other two, edged along to the northward, as if to reach Stato street, and burned down the line of Central and Lindall streets, not being very nica about street lines, but creating a topography of its own. v : The whole space of ground made bare by the fire is not eighty acres, and the whole of the burned district 1s very plainly and comfortably | to be seen from any elevated pile of waste ma-, sonry. Tho time of the greatest fire was about . twelve hours, although some hours of Sunday . morning were required to insure its non-exten- sion, and there was but & single return of the ' conflagration, which happened at midnight on | Sunday night, at the corner of Washington and Summer streets, threatening Jordan, Marsh & Co., and burnin; g out half a dozen firma in the couTse of three hours. This last fire was caused | by explosions of gas. - N The Boston fire literally meant business. It | spared residences, although it passed into . tenements of the south side and gave them a warming. It despised what commerce is left of Boston, and, kindling a coasteror two, lit the coal-heaps along the piors, and then_allowed it~ solf to be played on by hose carried aboard of . steam-tugs, and it was s very circumspect fira about taking life, and was scrupulous as ta shrines. Two churches contented it, Trinity and St. Stephens, both Episcopal.. It left the 01d South Church unscarred from the old .gray brick walls to the top of the vane, and great ia the devout warble of Boston thereat, ~It made a dive towards old Faneuil Hall, but left * it in all its magnificence to be a temporary Post Office. And not a theatre, nor spot of amuse- ment, and scarcely a hotel worth considering, did the fire consume. _ Its victim was golely the wholesale business of Boston, and the sufferers are nearly all business men. ~As far as these in- terests were concerned, the fire was o memora~ ble success. Itswept off seven banks, all. the boot and shoe palaces, the wool and leather, - crockery, iron, and domestic dry goods cstablishments. It made such & hole in the acquisitive bumy of - Boston, that very costly trepanning will be re quired to mend it, but the loss by this fire will not probably reach tho figure of $60,000,000. The Boston Advertiser and the Boston Herald were cool enough on Monday to state the loss at from 95,000,000 to $125,000.000, while thoe Journal was insisting upon £200,000,000. On Monday evening the Z'raveller reduced this amount to §70,000,000. The other papers of this (Tuesduy) momming hang on to tho Kiguro of 883,- 00,000. “The better experts heresay thet $75,000,- 000s & high estimate, and 260,000,000 more niear] the correct smount. ' The asscssed value of el the buildings destroyed is $13,000,000, and the number of firms, real and nominal, 13abovenine hundred. e ‘The newspapers were singularly fortunate, only the Transcript losing its edifice, which was new and had cost avgut $60,000; but the walls still stand, and look three times more capable of rebabitation than Ty Cizcao TRIBUNE'S former ofice. The Gazelfe and Pilof, weeklics, lost reity much everything; and the . Daily 0s¢. burned all * around and on top, and was _well drenched, yot escaped ° ag an edifice in nearly perfect condition. All tha dailies issue to-day, and the Boston fire proves, - as at Chica,:=-that the starting-point of all citic? after such”s calumity is newspapers and tha telegraph. 1Itis flood tide here for advertising, . and in no-other way is it possible to rediscoves {riends or business houses, 'The ruins of the (Cantinued on the Zinhth Page.)
