claimed that up to the present time two

The Injured.
The list of injuredis large, although no
case has as yet been reported as fatal. A
large number of the firemen were tempo-
rarily blinded from smoke and eluders.
Most of them were attended by the physi-

The fire started shortly after t o ',clock

that the fire was beyond the control of the

alarm called out every available piece of

which swept across to the opposite side
and soon engulfed the buildings for four
blocks. The tone of water that had been
poured into the buildings from every aide
apparently had notthe slightest enact, and
the tongues of flame licked up everything
in their path like so much tinder.
By this time the residents of the tone-
ments for nearly half a mile around had
become alarmed and were moving all their
property into the streets and seeking for
places of safety So rapidly did the fire
eat its way, however, that those is the
blocks adjoining Tremont street did not
have time to save their household clients
and barely escaped with their lives
The streets were filled with frightened
women and children, poor people who
were trying to save a part of their small
property and hurrying firemen and police-
men. , .
Furniture of all kinds littered the side-
walks, and the firemen were greatly ham-
pered by the obstructions.

the gallant fire fighters made a Island and

at City Point. He said that late on Sun-
day afternoon he let a catboat to four
young men about 22 years old, who told
him they were to be gone but a few hours.
inquiry at Cambidge elicited the infor-
mation from Mrs. Willey, a landlady with
whom the young men last boarded, that
they had told her-Sunday afternoon that
they Were going on a boating trip. The
fact that they did not return sooner occa-
sioned the good woman no alarm, and she
supposed that they had decided to take I
more extended trip. Boatman Hutchlns
sent out alrsearching party, and after heat-
ing about the harbor for a number of
hours the party sighted an upturned boat
near the spot where the craft of the young
then was last seen.
When it had been partly fitted, two
bodies, which were afterward learned to
be those of Browne and Bach, were found
clinging to the mast. Each was locked in
the arms of the other, and both had to be
lifmd into the smaller boat together.
Truesdeli was athird year man in the
law school. He was an exceptionally bright
student and was graduated'from Prince-
ton in 1890. Browne graduated from Hav-
erford college, Philadelphia, last year and
was a senior at Harvard. As he came to
the college only last year, he was not gen-
erally known among the students. Bach
was in the junior class, and his father,
