0. at. - TOV ABLAZE, (CONTINUED FROM FOURTH /PAGE. fie seying that men differ, for carting away to Qharlestown one lot of type from @ ‘Boston news- paper office last night one drayman demanded and \peceived $100, while: another said, “Pay me what ‘you think is right,"¥and when a $20 note was given ‘Jum Banded back¢$10 in change, saying indignantly ashe aid 80, “Do you think 1am mean enough to gexe advantage of 9 man in trouble?” There pras fon, too, im the general distribution fet boots and shoes, which took place on Dean atreet during the fire. Finding it impossible io save all of their stock the dealers threw open ‘the doors and allowed the crowd to secure what ‘pooty they could, Hundreds now wear shoes who ‘pever wore shoes before. A ludicrous incident oc- gurred on Hamilton place, ‘Major Grant,” as she Jw called, a semi-imbectle female, with an immense preterfall and pug nose, became dissatisfied with fhe view from Fremont street and decided to ob- pain a better quarter. Accordingly she picked up Pomebody else's chair in front of a store and pulled jper dress up to her ankles and dusted it; then, car- ying the chair to the centre of the place, SHE SAT DOWN AND GAZED placidly at the progress of the Names. While she ‘was doing 80, however, a@ rabble of newsboys gathered about. They fastened a long piece of rope to the chair, of which Mrs. “Major Grant” was Oblivious, and, after a moment’s consultation, jerked the rope vigorously, leaving the victim pprawling in a puddle, Mrs, Major Grant was vexed, Boston Common proved itself of really practical value during the fire, and indeed its uses are still manifest, From early in the evening of Baturday till early in the morning of to-day baggage vans of all sorts and descriptions depos- ited their contentson the Common. The location Of the little park in the centre of the city, and the fact that there could be but little danger to any- thing placed there, rendered it a convenient asy- Yum for all sorts of household goods, Pots, kettles and pans, beds and bedbugs, crying women and Bungry babies were plentiful enough. THIEVES ARRRESTED, ‘The station houses are so full that thieves are feleased after depriving them of their plunder, nd hence it was impossible to provide sufficient Phelter for the thousands who found themselves ‘without a roof to cover their heads. There were, Mcrefore, many who bivouacked on Boston Com- foon. There had been, nntil this afternoon, great Mifficulty in obtaining watchers for these goods to uard against predatory excursions om the fhouls who always haunt a great fire, and, there- fore, householders were obliged to watch their own property. Fortunately for them the night was piear and not very cold, so that they were not sub- Gesponaent afd inabtive as such & time did not become te city of Boston, and the gentleman sug- gested fhe importance of possessing nerve at this trying crisis, in order that the city should retain itegproud prosperity. MAYOR BUFFUM, AT LYNN, addressed the meeting, and said the people of Lynn deeply sympathized with Boston in this her hour of mourning, and no municipality in the country would more deeply feel the blow outaide of Boston than the city he represented. Whatever was asked for from that city Boston would have, either im men, money or means to fight the devouring element. Already the Fire Department of Lynn wae represented here, and farther eid would be sent if necessary. “Be not disheartened, said he;’? “the spirit evinced by Bostonians in the past should go forward, No Boston man should say, ‘Die.’ You have the en- ergy and the enterprise, and you cap redeem the city from this terrible blow.” 4 RELIEF COMMITTEE. The following committee of citizens was an- Nounced to take charge of the arrangements for the relief of the sufferers:—W. Gray, William Claain, Colonel Henry Walker, Otis Norcross, A. H. Rice, E. J. Tabey, B.G. Abbott, J. A. Cobb, William B, Spooner, J. M. Wightman, George C. Richardson, Rev. J, D. Fulton, Robert Johnson, F. W. Lincoln, Thomas Russell, Augustus Parker, H. L. Hal- lett, George Lewis, General James A. Cun- ningham, H, ©. Crowell, J. H. Chadwick, H. L, Pierce, William Pope, N. J. Bradlee, Franklin Williams, William Gaston, Rev. William B, Wright, N. B, Shurtleff, Eben D. Jordan, Josiah Quincy, Rev. William B, Wright. M. F. Dickenson advised prompt action for the present, ag well as for the future, BANDS OF RUFFIANS were in town and more were coming with the in- tention of burning and pillaging, and he hoped the Meeting would not adjourn until some action ‘was taken to provide for a large volunteer force of police to save from insult and injury those who are dear tous. Judge Abbott said that the force of militia and police ‘was sufficiently large to protect the city, and he was not afraid and hoped no other citizen was afraid of any band of raMans that may infest the city. Otis Norcross said that 1,900 men were under arms and on duty from the militia force, and more wonld be sent by General Cunninzham if neces- sary. He bore testimony to the faithful and prompt manner in which these men performed their duties, Mayor Gaston then read a des- patch from the Mayor of Providence tendering the services of the patrol force of that city. THE CHIEF ENGINBER’S STATEMENT. Damrell, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, appeared at this point, and was received with ap- plause. He was invited to address the meeting and in response, said that the flre was now so well under control that he contemplated sending to their homes the out-of-town com- panies, He said the engineers of the Jectea to any very great degree of discomfort, THE FIRST MEETING OF CITIZENS. Public action was taken to-day in regard to the re. Both branches of the City Council held a well- ‘oraervy Hi8 Honor Mayor Gaston, who } ted the object for which they had been convenéd, jand said it was necessary that prompt action should te taken to meet the exigencies, Alderman Jenks tered the following resolution :— Resolved, That the terrible calamity which has Mbefalien our city makes it incumbent on the City ‘Oouncil to give immediate expression to its deep Sympathy for the sufferers by the fire, and to ex- ‘tend aid in the most generous measure to those {who have been deprived of their homes, Resolved, That Messrs. Jenks, Dayton and Little, ith such as the Common Council may join, con- itute a Relief Committee, for the purpose of ‘extending immediate aid to such persons and @amilies as need assistance, and that said com- ‘mittee be requested to act in the premises with @he promptness which the exigency of the case ‘seems to require, ‘The resolutions were unanimously adopted. l- Wierman Clark moved that the thanks of the Board ‘be tendered the Fire Department, and the Commit- tee on Fire Department be authorized to take such ‘measures to suppress the conflagration as they May decm advisable. The motion was adopted, The Mayor suggested that a meeting of the Board Pe held at ten o'clock to-morrow forenoon, to de- ide upon such action as would be necessary for the relief of the sufferers, and, on motion, it was ‘voted that when the Aldermen adjourned it be till Monday, at ten o'clock A. M. Alderman Poland moved that the different rail- oad companies be requested to furnish piatform sears for the removal of the débris as soon as pos- ible, and the motion was carried. THE COMMON COUNCIL, The members of the Common Council were called ‘to order by the President, Mr. Dickinson, who stated that an informal conference had been held by the Mayor and several members sof the city jgovernment, and the feel- fing was general that the emergency sequired that tne city government should give Prompt expression of their sympathy, and an smounce their purpose to care for the unfortunate before there was an opportunity to call a meeting’ psrequired by the ordinance. Resolutions had “been prepared, and he expected them without de- ‘lay from the upper branch, At this point the resolutions adopted by the Aldermen were presented, read and adopted unan- Amously. It was suggested that when the Common #ouncii adjourn it be to meet at the same time as ‘the Board of Aldermen meet; and after the presult of the Aldermanic proceedings had ‘been announced it was voted that when the Council adjourn it be till Monday, at fen A.M. The President, Mr. Dickinson, now re- marked that this was a time for action and not “words, and outside of the proceedings of the City Council every member should strive individually 20 do his utmost for the reltef of the unfortunate people who were made houseless by the calamity ; fo act with generosity wherever @ wase of suffering presented itself, and to trust to ‘the City Governor for an endorsement of his action. ‘The misfortune to the poor people was even a ‘greater loss than the immense damage to property, @nd every effort should be made to alleviate want Ad provide for the shelter of the homeless. ANOTHER MEETING, Subsequently a meeting of prominent citizens (Was held at the Mayor's room in the City Hall, and it was very iargely attended, Mayor Gaston called the meeting to order, and after a few appro- priate remarks he was followed by Hon. Wm. Gray, Hon. A, H. Rice, ex-Mayor W, Light gman, Colonel Walker, Hon. Wm. B, Spooner, and Judge Abbott, who spoxe hopefully of the pros- and advised prompt and energetic action in order toalleviate the sufferings of the needy, as | ‘well as for xebuilding the burnt district. To be department had performed their duties admirably and he was proud of them. The cause of the extensive conflagration was the fact that bnildines.ci.A"u0W prevailhg largely in the city, andafirein the upper stories cannot be readily reached, He had always deprecated this style of architecture and attributed the fire to this fact, Alderman Clark hoped that no engines would be sent home till the fire was completely subdued, Chief Damrell was a good and efficient officer at an ordinary fire, but no one man could manage A FIRE OF THIS MAGNITUDE. and he hoped that the committee would suggest that every engine be retained. (Applause.) Aiter some further remarks the meeting adjourned, SUBSEQUENTLY A MEETING of the General Committee was held, at which Mr, William Gray presided. It was voted that the meetings of the committee be held every forenodn in the large committee room in the City Hall, and that a bufeau of relief be organized, the headquarters of which Would be at the Charity Bureau, Chardon street. The gentlemen ap- Pointed to constitute the Bureau were Messrs, Rice, Lincoln, Cobb, Pierce and Chadwick. On motion of ex-Mayor Lincoln a sub-committee was appointed to prepare plan of action and re- port to the general committee as soon as possible. The committee consisted of Messrs, Gray, Cafin, Norcross, Abbott, George ©. Richardson, Hallett and Crowell. MERCANTILE BUILDINGS DESTROYED, A recapitulation of at least a summary as full as can now be made in the hurly-burly of the excite- ment shows that there have been comparatively few public buildings destroyed and only a few public institutions lose their edifices, The burned buildings, however, were all of a most costly character and almost universally more imposing than any of @ public character in the city, The mercantile houses in Franklin, Summer and Devonshire streets and Winthrop square were among the most costly and finest specimens of architecture in the country, and the wholesale houses on Pearl, Congress and Milk streets were all of the most lofty and substantial character, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, The principal buildings of a public nature which have been wholly consumed are as follows:—Bos- ton Post office, United States Sub-Treasury ; Cathe- dral building, corner of Franklin and Devonshire streets; Boston Pilot establishment; Boston Tran script establishment; Monk’s building; Boston, Hartford and Erie depot, New England Type foun- dry,Boston and Sandwich Glass Company, Mount Washington Gass Works, NATIONAL BANKS. National Bank of North America, National Re- vere Bank, Continental National Bank, Hide and Leather National Bank, Emigrant Savings Bank, Freeman National Bank, New England Trust Company, Mount Vernon National Bank, Spencer, Villa & Co.'s banking house, Trinity (Episcopal) church, Purchase street Cath- olic church, Wright & Potter's State printing office, The Post office and the Sub-Treasury were in the same building, it being the well-known edifice on State street formerly celebrated as the Merchants’ Exchange, and a portion of it at one time was known as Derby’s Hotel. It was @ spa- cious structure, and besides the accommodations it afforded the government there was a large portion of it occupied as Jawyers’ offices. Probably the edifice was worth $200,000, The Boston Pilot oMce and Emigrants’ Savings Bank occupied the magnificent structure on Franklin street, built and owned by Patrick Dono- hue, the well-known publisher of the Pilot and nu- merous Catholic works of wide celebrity. The Transcript building, on Washington street, was, without exception, the finest daily newspaper es- tablisnment in the country east of New York city. It has been built within a year, and had only been occupied a few months. The loss to Dutton & Son, the publishers, cannot be less than a quarter of a million, The new office of the Boston Post, corner of Devonshire and Water streets, although not destroyed was very badly damaged, and the paper will not be issued for several days,” This building, too, if @ new one, and possesses all the modern im- provements of a mode) newspaper establishment. A large portion of jt is occupied by insurance and Other oillves, The yotwnal and Zravelier ofices | EE ee were threatened and the proprietors moved much of their property, but the inconvenience thus caused will not prevent the papers from appearing to-morrow. Not asingle hotel! was destroyed, al- though it was at one time feared that Young's, Parker’s, the Tremont and the United States and the surrounding and intervening smaller ones would go. The two churches named above were the only ones burned or damaged. Wright & Pot- ter’s State printing establishment was the largest of its kind in New England. The Western Union Telegraph Company, fearing that their oMce was to go with the general multitude, moved out at about four o'clock, and have since established themselves in the Boston and Albany, and Boston and Providence depots. No arrangement has as yet been made about mails; but probably the Post- master will prove himself equal to the emergency. THIBVES, THIEVING AND PLUNDERING, ‘There was of course armies of thieves and plunderers everywhere, and although upwards of five hundred have thus far been arrested, probably not one guarter of the vultures have been dis- covered, The station houses and the Tombs are all fall, and in many cases where the depre- dations have been insignificant, and the depre- dators young. The plunder has been taken and the plunderers set at liberty. This has been absolutely necessary to-day on account of the crowded state of the station houses, but to-morrow secure quarters of sufficient capacity for all offenders will be provided, IDENT OF THB sem 70 ag, RE Early this morning, while Mr. Dickinson, President of the Common Council, was on his way home from his law office, with some valuable papers enclosed in two bags, he was accosted near Boulston street by three men, who ordered him to surrender the bags. Being possessed of considerable pluck, Mr. Dickinson decided to do so, whereupon one of the fellows grabbed him by the collar and made an effort to garotte him. Mr. Dickinson kicked the fellow and started onarun. The ruf- fian continued to hold him by the collar, however, ‘until a police officer appeared, when the latter was informed of the state of the case and requested to put the man under arrest. The officer, although knowing the President of the Council, said the man was allright, that he could vouch for him, &c., and declined to arrest him, Mr. Dickinson thereupon took the officer’s ndme and number, and a complaint will probably be made against THIS “GUARDIAN”! OF THE PEACE. One of the members of the Police Committee ofthe Board of Aldermen states that from his per- sonal knowledge many firemen deserted their posts and ran home with goods removed from buildings. When charged with this conduct they replied that they had received permission to re- move the goods from the owners. The Chief was informed of the transaction and he peremptorily ordered the men to remain at their posts under pain of dishonorable discharge from the department. The officers of the Charlestown Police Department volunteered their services early this morning, but exhibited a reluctancy to per- form any labor, Upon being asked why they vol- unteered some of them replied that they came here to secthe fire, The Chief of Police had subsc quently, under instructions from the Police Com- mittee of the Board of Aldermen, ordered these parties outside the lines, About two o’clock, when the fire got into the rear of some large boot and shoe houses on the west side of Pearl street, and there was not the slightest hope of saving the stock, the crowd rushed in, broke open boxes and cases and helped themselves indiscriminately to shoes and boots, No one objected, and the general impres- sion seemed to be that the stock had thus better be distributed for private use than utterly destroyed. The articles were carried off by the box and armful, and many sat down on the curbstones and donned the new leather on the spot, LIST OF THE SUFFERERS.
