Boston, Nov. 28. The most disastrous fire from which Boston has suffered since 1S72, and one which in property loss rivals the great conflagration at Lynn on Tuesday, broke out at about 8:20 a. m. today in the six story granite building owned by Jordan, Marsh and occupied by Brown, Durrell dealers in dry goods, on Bedford street, corner of Kingston.

The great Are of 1872 broke out at the corner of Kingston ed Summer streets, and the alarm of to day's Are was rung in from the same box which did similar duty at 7:15 p. m. on the evening of November 9, 1872, when the fire started which consumed nearly $100,000, 000 of property. The first alarm rung in today was immediately followed by the first general alarm in Boston since 1872. To-day's conflagration raged for six hours, burned over two acres of territory covered by magnificent structures, and entailed a loss now estimated at $10,000,000.

The fire was discovered by a letter carrier who noticed the flame bursting from the top of the Brown, Durrell Co. building over the elevator shaft, iu which it evidently ongi- nated. This letter carrier notified the nearest police officer, who rung in the first alarm. As soon as Chief Webber of the protective de partmeut arrived, it became apparent that a long, hard, fight with the fire fiend was before the department and a general alarm was sent out, and this was soon followed by calls upon all neighboring cities and towns for as sistance. The flames were soon pouring from all the windows and the roof of the Brown, Durrell building.

At 8:45 they had spread to the Shoe and Leather Exchange building.another large granite structure adjoining Brown, Durrell Co. on Bedford street. From both buildings the flames 6wept in great masses groat bewilderment. Several families were gathered in a passageway leading to the rear of one of the houses near Essex street, and had surrounded themselves with all their worldly possessions. After it had been found that the flames would not advance any in heir direction, those eopl moved back to their home but most of them were nmro or less damaged by water.

Diirini? the duv (lie mayor received nu merous otl'er of financial assistance from other Hew England cities, all of which were declined with thank. Thh following cllie wero called main for aid in quenching the lire, and all responded In. some form: Stoneham, Wallham, Newton, Beading, Randolph, Wohurn, Fall River. Beverly. Taunton, Providence, Mel rose, Marblohead, Cambridge, Penbody, Lowell, Chelsea, llavorlll, Brockton, Somerville, Lawreuce, Maiden, Mimiom, isaieni, fiew-btiryixirt, Gloucester and Worcester.

Ilia city assessment or tne Diiiiiiings burned show that they were valued at a sum rising $1,000,000. The Prudential Fire Association, recently formed by a mimlter of Boston business men, is understixHl to be largely involved in the burnt district. The company is a semi-mutual one, and was organised with tho purpose of reducing the cost of Insurance. The Reventv-nlne Insurance companies known to lie interested carry an aggregate insurance of $2,000,000 ou tho burned property, THE TOTAL LOSS.

Nov. 28. A down freight car and three engines were completely wrecked this morning on the Pennsylvania road, and the contetits of tho car were scat tered in every direction. The engineer am! firemen of the three trains that came togeth er had very narrow escape from death. The engineer and fireman of engine No, 1,040 were buried under the wrecking Hue sus tained only a few bruises.

Thissmashup was due to tho negligence of tho te eeriipli opera tor at Grand street hero, who resirted tho freight train clear to tJ olllco west of Him while the train came to a stop a fow yard east of his office to look after a hot box. A heavy train came oast right behind the one standing and crashed into it, throwing the cars across the track. Just at this time an other freight train westbound crashed into the wreckage, adding another pile of cars to the mass. The loss is heavy. More AboutThom and the EnsL Africa Company.

Tho losses by Are at Lynn and Boston amount to round sum and the proportion that will fall upon the six companies of Hartford Is by no means Insignificant. The figures are heavy, but to fairly estimate the Importance of these fires, It Is worth whllo to consider to what extent losses aro expwted and provided for. From tha statements to the Insurance commissioner of the six companios of Hartford, viz: Tho Connecticut, Hartford, National, Orient and Phuinlx, January 1, 18, the following summary Is derived: Capital $10,250,000 Net surplus after deducting reserve for reinsurance 8,1:10,575 lleserve for reinsurance. Cash on hand .8 Losses paid in 1888. 5 The year 1888 was a profitable one, during which the six companies besides paying their usual dividends, added to surplus $753,174, yet the losses paid during the twelvemonths amounted to over $15,500 per day.

It will be seen, too, that possible losses during the terms which their policies of insurance had to run, were provided for to the amount of reinsurance reserve, which sum Is deducted from tho total of the assets In estimating the net surplus. From the reports which have come In at this hour of Hartford losses at Lynn and Boston, It seems not improbable that they may amount to five or six hundred thousand dollars. Now the actual cash on band, as above stated, equalled three or four times this sum. Gentlemen stockholder and gentlemen Insured, the Hartford companies expect bUr fires and aro prepared to pay for them. bom Tedro 111.

Tho day was not at all promising for foot ball until about 10 o'clock, when tho sun showed III face. Now York aeemud alive with eollitgo men, and all the morning tho goyly decorated eouche were rumbling along Fifth avemio.

Yalo canio first upon the field and wa greeted with a right royal reception, i'oplo rising and waving flag's and shouting a greeting. Princeton had a very similar reception, but a little less emputhic, Tho Held wa very muddy as the sun had been at work only a short time.

For a half hour before tho game began men were at work filling In tho worst sloughs with sawdust, l'rincton oieiiod with tho ball, and took the east goal, giving Yalo tho west.

A thrilling rescue from immediate death was made by Officer Charlas Maynes of Di vision 2, Officer Benjamin of Division 10 and "Sleepy," the colored attache of City Hall about 9:45 o'clock in the building 80 Chaun cey street. Edward E.

Whiting, a veteran fireman, had helped with the hose on the building. It grew terribly hot and tho walls threatened to fall, anil the cry waB raised to get back, for the roof was caving iu. A desperate rush was made by all hands to eet out of reach of the tumbline bricks and all escaped save Whiting. He was struck, knocked down and immediately cov ered by the heated debris. The firemen said that be must be killed.

Officers Maynes and Benjamin, however, thoughtdifferently, and, taking desperate chances, they braved the furnace-ate neat ana tne nsu of rallme walls. and tried to find the buried man. "My Gcd can no one help mei" was the cry they beard. This directed them to a pile of brick and timber under which they found Whiting imprisoned. Frantically they pulled and hauled at the hot debris.

Every moment they expected to be killed with falling stones or set on fire by the seething flames which darted out in every direction. Bravely they kept at work however. They got hold of Whiting's arms and tried to pull him out, but the burned skin and flesh came off in their hands. Once more they dug away at the debris to free the burned and injured man. They succeeded iu this, and got Whiting out.

It was found that his right leg was broken, that he was frightfully burned about the bead and body and otherwise injured. He was placed in a coupe and driven with all speed to the city hospital. 16 is believed that his injures will prove fatal. Seriously Injured. Among the seriously injured are Michael Atkinson, policeman, head crushed by falling granite; John Haley, hoseman, lacerated by plate glass; Thomas F.

Quigley, Inhaled flames, burned; District Engineer Bartlett, dislocated right shoulder; Edward F. Rohan, fireman, hand nearly cut olf; J. Dacey, tire-man, crushed leg; Fireman Russell of Engine 3, leg broken. Peril of Fourteen Men. While Assistant Chief John Ragan and fourteen men were on Kingston street holding the spread of the fire in that direction, suddenly the Kingston street front of the building swung out and fell on the street to where they were.

Tons upon tons of granite came down all around the firemen, rebounding into the air fully 10 feet, and fell again among them. Nearly every one of the fourteen was knocked down, but not one of them received a scratch. Two firemen of Ladder No. 3, Daniel J. Buckley, unmarried, and Frank P.

Loker, who has a wife and child, have been missing since early this morning. They were last seen in the Brown-Durrell building, and their bodies are believed to be in tho ruins of that structure. Several firemen who saw them in the building report an explosion of hot air and their own narrow escape, and are of the opinion that the missing men were overcome and unable to save themselves. The Insurance Companies. The insurance losses will make the business of the companies for the year a losing one.

The total annual receipts in Bostou amount to nearly $3,000,000 in premiums. To-day's losses alone will cover that figure to say nothing of the unusually heavy losses occurring during 1880. Fire underwriting in Boston has for several years past yielded a handsome profit for the companies but this disaster will carry it a long distance the other way and reduce the average of a number of years to perhaps a bare living basis. Seven Saved at Onco. Police Sergeant Kimball, Patrolman Maynes and ex-Councilman David F.

Barry, courageously rescued seven people, six men and one woman, from the building at the corner of Kingston and Bedford streets. The smoke bad overcome them and they lay prostrate on one of the upper floors. Aware that the employees hart not all escaped from the building they bravely entered, groped around in thickening smoke, and as fast as the prostrate forms were discovered they were carried to a place of safety. The rapid advance of the fire reached the place just as the last of the women was being carried from the building. Miscellaneous Notes.

Thank-offering distinguishes Thanksgiving Day at tbo Fourth Church. For several years tho children's class, conducted on Monday afternoons by the Rov. Graham Taylor, have had charge of the service of the day. For weeks thoy prepare their hymns and responses for the occasion, and save their pennies to give dinners to the poor.

Committees of boy and girl purchase the poultry; each child como early with some offering of provisions. During the service omo lady helHr divide tho food into an many dinner as the mute-rials allow. Then tbo little folks offer it all to the Lord the Giver, and iu Hi name, send the basket by committee of their own uum-bor to the needy famllle.

Strong mon all of them, most of them young, though not a fow past middle lifo, all of them workingmen their cause for thanksgiving is that they are found who onco wore lost, that they live who once wero dead, A goodly number of them, with a few guests, friends from the church and from among tho theological student, sat down to dine at 0 o'clock. Some ladies of tho church bad spread a royal repast for them iu their own parlor in the church. Mr.

He took the same text, (I Samuel, VII, 12,) that the Rev. Thomas Hooker used iu the first Thanksgiving sermon known to have been preached in this country. It was delivered in October, 103d. Mr. Twicholl interspersed his own discourse with numerous quotations from the old sermon.

The service was attended by the congregations of the Asylum Hill Baptist and Congregational churches. IN otheb churches. Union services were held in the Pearl Street Congregational Church, a sermon on the old New England Thanksgiving lieing pieiched by the Rov, W. De L. Love.

'a to a big sandstone building owned by F. L.

Ames, and occupied by Taylor Brothers, and this was consumed. The great granite building known as Nevins's block, at the corner of Chauncey street, was the next victim for the flames, and the entire block clear around Rowe place to Kingston street was consumed. Crossing Chauucey street the fire soon had a good hold of all the stores which are enclosed in Exeter place, a small street running from Harrison avenue to Chauncey street. Here the firemen soon got control. At Rowe place the the was partially checked from going toward Essex street, but quickly moved toward the opposite side to the immense Allen Lai-rabee buildings, occupying the 6quare between Bedford street, Harrison avenue extension and Exeter place, at which point their further progress was checked.
