In Ihe ml&t of the gloom caused by the staggering blow to the city, residents found cause for thankfulness In tho fact that the more noted buildings and the museums, with their priceless collections of antiquities, were spared. The birth place of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the "house of seven gables," and the old custom house were threatened for a time and the flames approached dangerously close to the Peabody Museum and the Essex Institute, but none of these structures was damaged. The mllltla summoned to assist to malntainglng order patrolled the streets today. Martial law was not declared but no one was permitted to approach the fire swept area without a pass. Only one attempt at looting was discovered.
