No matter what we hold, the radicals have just enough to beat it. New Jersey's two little pair turn out neither more nor less than Missouri's three little aces. We thought we had a full hand in Tennessee and a dush, at least, in Alabama— and so we did have—but the show-down proves them to be not worth a cent. The raise we made on Indiana cost us all we had won and a little more beside. We had slipped Virginia in our sleeve and bid Arkansas under the table. But it’s no nse.

A Grand bat Appailing Scene, Terrible Incidents of Saturdey Night and Sunday. erday was confined to the ruins, which were played upon all day by large number of steam fire-engines, worked by firemen. James Talies was arrested ier early in the morning while setting tre to a building on Milk street. ‘The Saturday Evening Gazette was xmong the papers burned The number of business houses burned 00, am) 50 dwellings and lodging houses, leaving 9\) families homeless. At a meeting of the citizen’s rellef committee, Mayor Gaston read dispatches from Gov.

A committee of ladies bas Been formed to look after the thous- ands of sewing girls thrown out ef employment. Propositions are being urged for the making of ew street lines in the barned district, and for the erection of a merchants’ exchange bailding. The cemnm e of twenty citizens have re- quested Gov. Washburn to call a special session 1 the legislature to authorize the city to leue a ticient amount of seven per cent. bonds to the sufferers in rebuilding the burned dis- trict.

At an infor- nal meeting of the lea‘ling insurance ollicers, a tement was made that the Tosses will be paid in full. It is stated that only three insurance companies in Boston have suspended, namely: International, the Corn Exchange and Hamboldt.

At the relief meeting in New York yesterday, resolutions were adopted disapproving of the of Mansard roots on large and lofty nd calling for the sppo.ntment by the fire insurance companies of 4 board of en- gineers, who shall be iuvested with legal au. thority te blow up all buildings when they deem it necessary to prevent the spread of fires. The New York board of aldermen, at a meeting, torbade the erection of mansard roofs unless of lire-proof materials. MATERIAL AID FOR THE SUPFRRERS. Relict meetings of citizens were heid yester- day and to-day in New York, Pittsburg, Balti- more, and Chicago, at the latter of which speeches of sympathy for the Boston sufferers were made, and #100,000 donated for their relief. The Cincinnati common council has appointed & commit.ee to communicate with the Boston authorities, and, if necessary, to visit that city and ascertain what aid Cincinnati may be able torender. A large relief meeting was held in St. Louis yesterday. EFFECT OF THE FIRE ON BUSINRSS IN NEW YORK. Wall street, New York, was more quiet yester- day, and the panicky feeling was sing out. There was but little business transacted in the wool, hardware, leather, or dry Snead trade. Assistant Secretary Richardson, of the Treasury tment, was In consultation with leading ers and merchants regarding the situation. it isratd that Secretary Boutweil has stopped the withdrawal trom the banks of the green- backs depesited some time since to relieve the market. ‘Phe following graphic story of the fire is told by a corres ondent of the New York Times: ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. The tlames which commenced the awful work surance 3160,090,000. of destruction were first discovered abont 74 o'cloel arday night in the engine-room of the large four-story granite store, sitaated at the + ot Summer and Kingston streets, occupied by Tebbets, Baldwin & Davis, whole- sale dry goods dealers. The fire must have been smoldering for some time, as when it was first discovered the flames had guned such volume as doomed the entire building. There was scarcely any wind stirring when the first alarm was given, and though the light of the fire was soon a bright one, nobody tmagined that it would prove to be £0 appalling a er. When the firemen arrived on the ground they found that the flames had reached the fourth story of the building, and before they got to work with their engines every window vomited forth smoke and flame, the heat being so intense that, for the moment. they bad to retreat. Still the fire- men persevered and get several large streams of water playing on the burning butlding before any of the adjoining stores caught fi THE FIRE RUNNING ALONG MANSARD ROOFS The buildings in the vicinity were all of granite, four stories high, each surmounted with 4a Mansard root. The detached splinters flew readily, as the air was heated by the tarrible heat, and the flames pr one licking the Mansard roof on the opposite side, far above the reach of the streams directed toward it from all quar- ters, The tire was constantly in the afr, and one building after another caught on the root, aud the ames skipped lightly along from one window sill to avother, so that in jess than thirty min it became evident that the whole city in One direction was at the mercy of the flames. A GReND BUT APPALLING BCENS. The scene at 10 o'clock was @ grand one, de- spite the destruction visible on every hand. Phe gutters were full of water that had been thrown ne buraing houses only to tall impotent ppear In the cutverts. ‘The heat was so great that the Liocks of granite composing the Walls of the stores already on fire actually began to explode, the fragments being scattered in every direction. Roots fell in with @ crash every moment, carrying with them the floors bencath, heavily freighted as they were with large stocks of valuable goods. As the interiors thus fel! a prey to the element, walls began to bulge and quiver, finally sinking to the paves Ment in huge magses of heat and bhstered stone. The wind, liitherto a high one, having gradually grown’ in strength as the ‘tire pro- gressed, became at length a gale, the flames seemingly having the effect to create currents of their own. Words tail me in describing the ap- palling scene at this stage of the ore. Building after building fell passively betore the flames, and it seemed an alinost impossible task to at- tempt to check their progress. Whole blocks were on fire, and the very streets were full or flames, as immense stacks of godds had been there piled up in readiness for removal, only to fail into the grasp of the element that was surg- ing forward toward the water front in resisties tury. NEW TERRORS. The Rabel of contusion assumed a new about 1! o'clock, for the tenement houses at the wy end of Federal 0 to aud the scenes were intensified by the affrighted actions and loud cries of the inmates of those crowded edifices. Hlying hither aud thither their frenzied terror, men, women and only added to the confusion without in the least helping themselves.

By this time it had become evident to in spite of the utmost exertions of the partment the fla: | police. ‘To this combined force was soon added | | 4 column of citizens auder the leading of Mayor Gaston and Wm. L. Burt, with Alderman s Shepsrd as subalterns. Ant now they took charge of ail the streets leading to Mil nd about 3 o'clock the engineer's «k= partment, under Damrill, aided by the marines, iaid charges of powder in the cellars of the south side of that street. In a few minutes the roar of bumerous explosions was heard, and, thoagh women grew pale and children began to cry at the terrific sounds, yet they were nevertheless dearly welcome, for'they indicated that the po- sition was fully realized. that the conflagra- tion was being fairly choked. Three more ex- plosions were heard, and immediately a large bdiock in Devonshire street was blown parti into the air. Then came the turn of Fed street, and quickly a great gap was made in that tine street. THE POLICE AND THE THIEVES. Despite the terror that prevailed th present in the crowd many thieves, wh: their nefarious operations, Thef! merous and were commilied with per Tr atime, as it was absolutely imp ble for the police to distinguish owners from thieves, all being loaded alike with portable property. Now and then a well known face would be ized by the detectives, and the thief arrested. These were isolated how- ever, and the value of the plunder secured by this depredatory class must have been enor- mous. It is understuod that a thorough and strict search will hereafter be instituted, inorder that some portions of the plander may be re- covered. ‘The ladies, in many cases, were bewildered by the noise and around them, rather than by cowardly fear, or even by nataral timidity, and did some things that provoked laughter in spite of the awful character of the situation. One went about with a package of face in one Nand and a lisle thread stocking in the other, entreating the workers to help her save her property, Which she was powerless to designate. Another threw out large superb mirrors from the third story. and care‘ully low- ered a china jug by a rope. Some shivered in silence on the stone steps, hugging their babes to their breasts, and one ans to mtle- man who wanted to save her property: * Let it burn, sir, I’ve saved now baby, and my Lusband is all right in New York.” AREA OF THE FIRE. At 40’clock in the morning the area of the fire was tomethirg pitiable. It extenied from ‘Washington street on the west to the wharves on the east, and Milk street on the north to the Hartford and Erie bridge on the south. It had destroyed the following street-: Sumner, Frank- lim, Otis, Devonshire, trom Milk street to Win- throp square, the south side of Milk street, Pearl, High, parts of Broad, Uliver, Bedford, jancey, Hawley, Arch, Federal, Purchase, Avon, Kingston, Columbia and Congressstreets. BOSTON SUNDAY NIGHT presented a sc: ne of desolation not unlike that of a captured city in the possession of ah army. The beat of the drum ard int streets, and a soldier, with gun in hand, kee: d by the ropes which surround the on. Women and children th On the sidewaiks, in yards, in t ridors of the hotels, in the po even in grave yards, are piles on p: a ble merchandise, suatched from the barnmg buildings. Boston nevet a brighter, fairer and a more sorrowful Sabbath than that on which the sun has just set. THE RURNED PIATRICT AND THE LOss. The region covered by the fire was entirely within wards five and four, including about one-halfof the territory of the former, and two or three acres of the latter, space in al! very neariy the same as that occupied by wari three. “The area of the burnt district will be found when carefully estimated,” says the Dally Ad- vertiser, ‘slightly to exceed sixty-four acres, or 2,757.54) square feet. Deducting the space covered by streets, the area occupied by build- ings is a little less than two millicn syuare feet. The structures did not cover all the remai space; but assuming that they did, and they were worth $10 per sjuare foot, the entire loss in bnildings will amoun ,000,007, an esti- mate to the correctness of which, we have the testimony of many sagacions holders of real e.- tate. The total number of buildings consumed, may roughly be stated at about 700. The loss in merchandise is set by the most compet nt experts at not over three times the amount of the loss of buildings, it being borne in mind that in a number of streets the structures were used principally for offives, and contained noth- ing very valuable, J that in many ware- houses re stocks of ——— low, some of the Gry- foods commission houses, for example, baving bardly any goods tu store. EFFRCTS ON THE BUSINESS OP BOSTON. Our estimate, therefore, sets the entire loss at $80,000,000, a prodigious destruction in itse! but by no means one to inflict a crushing bic upon the property of Boston. Al! the old boot and shoe and commission tirms are solvent, and even strong as before the fire, and by their solvency will preserve to Boston, unimpai their valuable line of business. Very many the jobbing firms also in the same li me Out of the fire with large losses, it Is true, but able to meet all their engagemenis, and to continae their business. The same may be said in general terms of the large manufacturers aud dealers in clothing. Shakespearean Quotations for the Lhe (Prom the New York Post.)
