Covered with boxes, trunks, and bundles, they hurried pell-mell down stairs to the parlors on the first floor, Many kept on until they reached the street, and jumping into carriages sought another shelter for the night. THE BAN-ROOM DESENTED, Large multitudes gathered from all parts in the neighborhood of the fire,and gazed open- mouth at the burning roof. Several carriages filled with fast women and their gallants drov up, and the occupants alighted and took posl- tions as near as they could to the burning building. ‘The office was Milled with gentlemen smoking and chatting, as though nothing was happening. ‘The clerks sat smiling bebind the desk as usual, and the tolegraph operator was busy sending off despatches. ‘The barroom was deserted. ‘The head clerk said that the furniture was worth $400,000, At 1 o'clock, when the fremen began to got the flames under control, fully one- fourth of this was utterly ruined by the deluge which had streamed down upon it, The water lay In the corridors of the three upper floors a foot deep, and was pouring through the ceilings in a thousand rivulets. SCENES IN THR STREET, ‘The square and streots adjacent to the hotel were filled with small knots of spectators watch- ing the spread of the flame There were a great number of fashtonably dressed gentlemen in the crowd who were on thelr way home from the theatre and parties in the neighborhood, when their attention was arrested by the fire. ‘The trian- gular space at tho junction of Broad- way aud Fifth avenue was black with tpeculators, who gnzed on the burning roof with absorbing interest. Every one was discussing the firemou's chances of saving the costly edidces, and fervent wishes for thelr suc- coss were frequently expressed. One bystander sald that he had never seen eo much interest for a burning building since the great fire at the Academy, The crowd increased very rapidly, and every car and stage brought fresh numbers to the scene, There was a large outpouring of the tnmates of the stylish betting houses in the vicinity, and some of these mantfested a desire to make wagers on the extent of the fire.

Great streams of water aro still being poured over the roof of the hotel and those of one or two of the adjoining house: Many of the hotel quests are leaving, and a long line of coaches is drawn up Just outside the fire limits, Many are flocking to the neighboring elt, and some few are being taken into the private residences.

Correspondence of The Sun. Boston, Deo. 9.—The inhabitants of the quiet town of Acton, on the lines of the Fitch- burg and Framingham railroads, were shocked on Saturday morning by the announcement that an atrocious murder had been committed in their midst, @ deed that never before was known In that town since {ts incorporation. Aaron Wood, 73 years of age, who was born and had always lived in Acton, was the victim. About 40 yoars ago he built a shanty at Cold Stream Brook, for a wheelwright shop, that being bis trade, and he bas lived there ever since, Itisa small structure, without a clap- board to protect the inmate from the cold blaste of winter, while the Interior Is neither plastered nor celled. The furniture consisted of a couple of olé benches and a broken chair. A ladder leads to the loft which 1s divided Into two rooms by arough board partition. In one room was found a chest and an old box, and in the other sort of bench (on which was a coa-se mattress), ‘an old chair, a box or two, and a little stove. THR AGED VICTIM. Mr. Wood was eccentric and penurious, and many supposed that he had boarded up @ consid- erable arnount of monoy. About a yaar ago he was robbed, and he afterward said that the rob- bers did not get all, as he had $100 In gold. This probably gave rise to the rumor that he was rich. He owned twenty-five acres of land. through which the Framingham Ratlroad 4 a portion of this was woodland. It was hi habit to rise early, take a hand sled and go into the woods an firewood forthe market, and ch was bis rigid economy that he burned only the twigs ina chips welch Tors left wer ine falable wood had been Carefully selected. This débris he hauled home on his sled, coming hom sometimes after dark, and piled it up close to his hovel or on the floor inside. Acquaintances in the neighborhood had often urged him to tak ome more fitting place for his abode, but he per- sistently pleaded that he could not afford it, This, however, could not be the fact, for he had an income by a brother's will of $2 per week, be- sides which he carried to the market considera ble quantities of farin produce, and employed his winters in the woods, as above stated. This mode of life he had persisted in for years. He very rarely left his premises. Although living for twenty-five years within sound of the whistles on three railroads, he never rode on a railroad car or saw a locomotive until the Lowell and Framingham road was built in 1870, the rails of which were laid within ten f humble dwelling. THE DISCOVERY OF THE MURDER. The old man was in the habit of getting his neighbors to procure what littie be wanted from the store, and to this fact 1s due the oarly dis- covery of the murder. On Friday morning be went to the house of Mr. Horace Hosmer, and Fequested him to purchase a pair of shoes and to bake him aloaf of broad, saying that be would callin the evening at 7, Mr. Hosmer waited till some time after 7, and then went to Mr. Wood's house. On nearing it he saw that the door had been wrenched from the hinges, and was leani against the house, On opening the door he t held Mr. Wood's feet and his wig, the rest of bis body being hid bebind @ pile of brushwood. Thinking Wood was murdered, aud bein afraid of meeting a like fate if he entered, he ran to the house of his nearest neigh- bor. | Returning with George, and | Charles Handley, he found Mr, Wood lying upon his back, with the back of his head completely crushed in, while the front of his face was so horribly jammed as to make It unrecognizable as the face of s huinan being. From the nature of the wounds, it was evident that the murderer must ped with his heavy boot on his victim's face, alter felling him with a club. The Jower portion of the hovel was anda with blood and flesh, Everything was found in great confusion, the cupboard door belng wrenched of, showing that there had been a terrible strugel pastairs in the attic everything was scattered, showing how thoroughly the assassin searched for the money Mr. Wood was reputed to possess. In his breast pocket was a wallet containing 5, and a similar one in bis panta- loons containing $11. ‘This would imply that the murderer. was frightened away before he had completed his search for money. THE THACK OF BLOOD. Tho retreat of the assassin was marked by bloody tracks for more than a mile. He fret followed the railroad track in a southerly direo- tion nearly half @ mile, then turned off to the right a little, te a shanty, proceeded to another earer th é paved the rai went th rid and a plece ntl he came place on the high- knowa as Gallagher's crossing, where all trace of bim was lost. The clue, if ‘any exists, to the assassin is fragmentary and wholly of & circumstantial character. About 150 laborers are employed on the vallroad, and occu- by the two shanties which are spoken of as being visited by the murderer in bis fight. About # fortnight ago, It is alleged, these men Devan to Gnd fault abuut thelr supplies, and threatened to leave unless thoy were furnisied iminediately with necessary articles. ‘These were sent. Among them was a lotof boots. They were stout and solid, being made with thick tap soles, and the heels being protected by The tracks correspond exactly heavy clog na with these boots. The officers who are engayod in Investigating tho case aver that they think th od was commited by som One « two Frenoh Canadians en in the neighborhood of Wood" y, and they are suspected of having committed the murder. THE MOST PRODADLE TURORY. In the light of existing facts It is conjectured that Mr. Wood went home to his sbanty a little past 6o'clock. A man who had pried open the jor waa inside, up the ladder, aud had ranaack- ed the loft. ‘The sled of faggots was drawn in hear the foot of the iadder, and the old gentie- man probably standing by'its side when he was surprised by the robber. ‘Thou e vere was a struggle, a death-blow, and @ stamping on the head of Mr. Wood. The. broken door was then put back, and a hasty exit made froin the pres. ses. ‘The murderer ran southward, taking long leaps over the ties of the Lowell and Framing- ham Railroad. ‘Then he is traced to the right from the track to the shanty of the railroad iaborerm, from one auty to another.
